MaschilH4905 of AsaphH623. Give earH238, O my peopleH5971, to my lawH8451: inclineH5186 your earsH241 to the wordsH561 of my mouthH6310. {Maschil…: or, A Psalm for Asaph to give instruction}
I will openH6605 my mouthH6310 in a parableH4912: I will utterH5042 dark sayingsH2420 of oldH6924:
Which we have heardH8085 and knownH3045, and our fathersH1 have toldH5608 us.
We will not hideH3582 them from their childrenH1121, shewingH5608 to the generationH1755 to comeH314 the praisesH8416 of the LORDH3068, and his strengthH5807, and his wonderful worksH6381 that he hath doneH6213.
For he establishedH6965 a testimonyH5715 in JacobH3290, and appointedH7760 a lawH8451 in IsraelH3478, which he commandedH6680 our fathersH1, that they should make them knownH3045 to their childrenH1121:
That the generationH1755 to comeH314 might knowH3045 them, even the childrenH1121 which should be bornH3205; who should ariseH6965 and declareH5608 them to their childrenH1121:
That they might setH7760 their hopeH3689 in GodH430, and not forgetH7911 the worksH4611 of GodH410, but keepH5341 his commandmentsH4687:
And might not be as their fathersH1, a stubbornH5637 and rebelliousH4784 generationH1755; a generationH1755 that setH3559 not their heartH3820 arightH3559, and whose spiritH7307 was not stedfastH539 with GodH410. {that…: Heb. that prepared not their heart}
The childrenH1121 of EphraimH669, being armedH5401, and carryingH7411 bowsH7198, turned backH2015 in the dayH3117 of battleH7128. {carrying: Heb. throwing forth}
They keptH8104 not the covenantH1285 of GodH430, and refusedH3985 to walkH3212 in his lawH8451;
And forgatH7911 his worksH5949, and his wondersH6381 that he had shewedH7200 them.
Marvellous thingsH6382 didH6213 he in the sightH5048 of their fathersH1, in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, in the fieldH7704 of ZoanH6814.
He dividedH1234 the seaH3220, and caused them to pass throughH5674; and he made the watersH4325 to standH5324 as an heapH5067.
In the daytimeH3119 also he ledH5148 them with a cloudH6051, and all the nightH3915 with a lightH216 of fireH784.
He claveH1234 the rocksH6697 in the wildernessH4057, and gave them drinkH8248 as out of the greatH7227 depthsH8415.
He broughtH3318 streamsH5140 also out of the rockH5553, and caused watersH4325 to run downH3381 like riversH5104.
And they sinnedH2398 yet moreH3254 against him by provokingH4784 the most HighH5945 in the wildernessH6723.
And they temptedH5254 GodH410 in their heartH3824 by askingH7592 meatH400 for their lustH5315.
Yea, they spakeH1696 against GodH430; they saidH559, CanH3201 GodH410 furnishH6186 a tableH7979 in the wildernessH4057? {furnish: Heb. order}
Behold, he smoteH5221 the rockH6697, that the watersH4325 gushed outH2100, and the streamsH5158 overflowedH7857; canH3201 he giveH5414 breadH3899 also? canH3201 he provideH3559 fleshH7607 for his peopleH5971?
Therefore the LORDH3068 heardH8085 this, and was wrothH5674: so a fireH784 was kindledH5400 against JacobH3290, and angerH639 also came upH5927 against IsraelH3478;
Because they believedH539 not in GodH430, and trustedH982 not in his salvationH3444:
Though he had commandedH6680 the cloudsH7834 from aboveH4605, and openedH6605 the doorsH1817 of heavenH8064,
And had rained downH4305 mannaH4478 upon them to eatH398, and had givenH5414 them of the cornH1715 of heavenH8064.
ManH376 did eatH398 angels'H47 foodH3899: he sentH7971 them meatH6720 to the fullH7648. {Man…: or, Every one did eat the bread of the mighty}
He caused an east windH6921 to blowH5265 in the heavenH8064: and by his powerH5797 he brought inH5090 the south windH8486. {to blow: Heb. to go}
He rainedH4305 fleshH7607 also upon them as dustH6083, and featheredH3671 fowlsH5775 like as the sandH2344 of the seaH3220: {feathered…: Heb. fowl of wing}
And he let it fallH5307 in the midstH7130 of their campH4264, round aboutH5439 their habitationsH4908.
So they did eatH398, and were wellH3966 filledH7646: for he gaveH935 them their own desireH8378;
They were not estrangedH2114 from their lustH8378. But while their meatH400 was yet in their mouthsH6310,
The wrathH639 of GodH430 cameH5927 upon them, and slewH2026 the fattestH4924 of them, and smote downH3766 the chosenH970 men of IsraelH3478. {smote…: Heb. made to bow} {Chosen…: or, young men}
For all this they sinnedH2398 still, and believedH539 not for his wondrous worksH6381.
Therefore their daysH3117 did he consumeH3615 in vanityH1892, and their yearsH8141 in troubleH928.
When he slewH2026 them, then they soughtH1875 him: and they returnedH7725 and enquired earlyH7836 after GodH410.
And they rememberedH2142 that GodH430 was their rockH6697, and the highH5945 GodH410 their redeemerH1350.
Nevertheless they did flatterH6601 him with their mouthH6310, and they liedH3576 unto him with their tonguesH3956.
For their heartH3820 was not rightH3559 with him, neither were they stedfastH539 in his covenantH1285.
But he, being full of compassionH7349, forgaveH3722 their iniquityH5771, and destroyedH7843 them not: yea, many a timeH7235 turnedH7725 he his angerH639 awayH7725, and did not stir upH5782 all his wrathH2534.
For he rememberedH2142 that they were but fleshH1320; a windH7307 that passeth awayH1980, and cometh not againH7725.
HowH4100 oft did they provokeH4784 him in the wildernessH4057, and grieveH6087 him in the desertH3452! {provoke: or, rebel against}
Yea, they turned backH7725 and temptedH5254 GodH410, and limitedH8428 the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478.
They rememberedH2142 not his handH3027, nor the dayH3117 when he deliveredH6299 them from the enemyH6862. {from…: or, from affliction}
How he had wroughtH7760 his signsH226 in EgyptH4714, and his wondersH4159 in the fieldH7704 of ZoanH6814: {wrought: Heb. set}
And had turnedH2015 their riversH2975 into bloodH1818; and their floodsH5140, that they could not drinkH8354.
He sentH7971 divers sorts of fliesH6157 among them, which devouredH398 them; and frogsH6854, which destroyedH7843 them.
He gaveH5414 also their increaseH2981 unto the caterpillerH2625, and their labourH3018 unto the locustH697.
He destroyedH2026 their vinesH1612 with hailH1259, and their sycomore treesH8256 with frostH2602. {destroyed: Heb. killed} {frost: or, great hailstones}
He gave upH5462 their cattleH1165 also to the hailH1259, and their flocksH4735 to hot thunderboltsH7565. {gave…: Heb. shut up} {hot…: or, lightnings}
He castH7971 upon them the fiercenessH2740 of his angerH639, wrathH5678, and indignationH2195, and troubleH6869, by sendingH4917 evilH7451 angelsH4397 among them.
He madeH6424 a wayH5410 to his angerH639; he sparedH2820 not their soulH5315 from deathH4194, but gaveH5462 their lifeH2416 overH5462 to the pestilenceH1698; {He made…: Heb. He weighed a path} {life…: or, beasts to the murrain}
And smoteH5221 all the firstbornH1060 in EgyptH4714; the chiefH7225 of their strengthH202 in the tabernaclesH168 of HamH2526:
But made his own peopleH5971 to go forthH5265 like sheepH6629, and guidedH5090 them in the wildernessH4057 like a flockH5739.
And he ledH5148 them on safelyH983, so that they fearedH6342 not: but the seaH3220 overwhelmedH3680 their enemiesH341. {overwhelmed: Heb. covered}
And he broughtH935 them to the borderH1366 of his sanctuaryH6944, even to this mountainH2022, which his right handH3225 had purchasedH7069.
He cast outH1644 the heathenH1471 also beforeH6440 them, and dividedH5307 them an inheritanceH5159 by lineH2256, and made the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 to dwellH7931 in their tentsH168.
Yet they temptedH5254 and provokedH4784 the most highH5945 GodH430, and keptH8104 not his testimoniesH5713:
But turned backH5472, and dealt unfaithfullyH898 like their fathersH1: they were turned asideH2015 like a deceitfulH7423 bowH7198.
For they provoked him to angerH3707 with their high placesH1116, and moved him to jealousyH7065 with their graven imagesH6456.
When GodH430 heardH8085 this, he was wrothH5674, and greatlyH3966 abhorredH3988 IsraelH3478:
So that he forsookH5203 the tabernacleH4908 of ShilohH7887, the tentH168 which he placedH7931 among menH120;
And deliveredH5414 his strengthH5797 into captivityH7628, and his gloryH8597 into the enemy'sH6862 handH3027.
He gaveH5462 his peopleH5971 overH5462 also unto the swordH2719; and was wrothH5674 with his inheritanceH5159.
The fireH784 consumedH398 their young menH970; and their maidensH1330 were not given to marriageH1984. {given…: Heb. praised}
Their priestsH3548 fellH5307 by the swordH2719; and their widowsH490 made no lamentationH1058.
Then the LordH136 awakedH3364 as one out of sleepH3463, and like a mighty manH1368 that shoutethH7442 by reason of wineH3196.
And he smoteH5221 his enemiesH6862 in the hinder partsH268: he putH5414 them to a perpetualH5769 reproachH2781.
Moreover he refusedH3988 the tabernacleH168 of JosephH3130, and choseH977 not the tribeH7626 of EphraimH669:
But choseH977 the tribeH7626 of JudahH3063, the mountH2022 ZionH6726 which he lovedH157.
And he builtH1129 his sanctuaryH4720 like highH7311 palaces, like the earthH776 which he hath establishedH3245 for everH5769. {established: Heb. founded}
He choseH977 DavidH1732 also his servantH5650, and tookH3947 him from the sheepfoldsH4356+H6629:
From followingH310 the ewes great with youngH5763 he broughtH935 him to feedH7462 JacobH3290 his peopleH5971, and IsraelH3478 his inheritanceH5159. {following: Heb. after}
So he fedH7462 them according to the integrityH8537 of his heartH3824; and guidedH5148 them by the skilfulnessH8394 of his handsH3709.
Querverweise zu Psalm 78,32 Ps 78,32
And all the congregationH5712 lifted upH5375 their voiceH6963, and criedH5414; and the peopleH5971 weptH1058 that nightH3915.
And all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 murmuredH3885 against MosesH4872 and against AaronH175: and the whole congregationH5712 saidH559 unto them, Would GodH3863 that we had diedH4191 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714! or would GodH3863 we had diedH4191 in this wildernessH4057!
And wherefore hath the LORDH3068 broughtH935 us unto this landH776, to fallH5307 by the swordH2719, that our wivesH802 and our childrenH2945 should be a preyH957? were it not betterH2896 for us to returnH7725 into EgyptH4714?
And they saidH559 oneH376 to anotherH251, Let us makeH5414 a captainH7218, and let us returnH7725 into EgyptH4714.
Then MosesH4872 and AaronH175 fellH5307 on their facesH6440 beforeH6440 all the assemblyH6951 of the congregationH5712 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126, and CalebH3612 the sonH1121 of JephunnehH3312, which were of them that searchedH8446 the landH776, rentH7167 their clothesH899:
And they spakeH559 unto all the companyH5712 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, The landH776, which we passedH5674 through to searchH8446 it, is an exceedingH3966+H3966 goodH2896 landH776.
If the LORDH3068 delightH2654 in us, then he will bringH935 us into this landH776, and giveH5414 it us; a landH776 which flowethH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706.
Only rebelH4775 not ye against the LORDH3068, neither fearH3372 ye the peopleH5971 of the landH776; for they are breadH3899 for us: their defenceH6738 is departedH5493 from them, and the LORDH3068 is with us: fearH3372 them not. {defence: Heb. shadow}
But all the congregationH5712 badeH559 stoneH7275 them with stonesH68. And the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 in the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150 before all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, How long will this peopleH5971 provokeH5006 me? and how long will it be ereH3808 they believeH539 me, for all the signsH226 which I have shewedH6213 amongH7130 them?
I will smiteH5221 them with the pestilenceH1698, and disinheritH3423 them, and will makeH6213 of thee a greaterH1419 nationH1471 and mightierH6099 than they.
And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto the LORDH3068, Then the EgyptiansH4714 shall hearH8085 it, (for thou broughtest upH5927 this peopleH5971 in thy mightH3581 from amongH7130 them;)
And they will tellH559 it to the inhabitantsH3427 of this landH776: for they have heardH8085 that thou LORDH3068 art amongH7130 this peopleH5971, that thou LORDH3068 art seenH7200 faceH5869 to faceH5869, and that thy cloudH6051 standethH5975 over them, and that thou goestH1980 beforeH6440 them, by day timeH3119 in a pillarH5982 of a cloudH6051, and in a pillarH5982 of fireH784 by nightH3915.
Now if thou shalt killH4191 all this peopleH5971 as oneH259 manH376, then the nationsH1471 which have heardH8085 the fameH8088 of thee will speakH559, sayingH559,
Because the LORDH3068 was notH1115 ableH3201 to bringH935 this peopleH5971 into the landH776 which he swareH7650 unto them, therefore he hath slainH7819 them in the wildernessH4057.
And now, I beseech thee, let the powerH3581 of my LordH136 be greatH1431, accordingH834 as thou hast spokenH1696, sayingH559,
The LORDH3068 is longsufferingH750+H639, and of greatH7227 mercyH2617, forgivingH5375 iniquityH5771 and transgressionH6588, and by no meansH5352 clearingH5352 the guilty, visitingH6485 the iniquityH5771 of the fathersH1 upon the childrenH1121 unto the thirdH8029 and fourthH7256 generation.
PardonH5545, I beseech thee, the iniquityH5771 of this peopleH5971 according unto the greatnessH1433 of thy mercyH2617, and as thou hast forgivenH5375 this peopleH5971, from EgyptH4714 even until nowH2008. {until…: or, hitherto}
And the LORDH3068 saidH559, I have pardonedH5545 according to thy wordH1697:
But as trulyH199 as I liveH2416, all the earthH776 shall be filledH4390 with the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068.
Because all those menH582 which have seenH7200 my gloryH3519, and my miraclesH226, which I didH6213 in EgyptH4714 and in the wildernessH4057, and have temptedH5254+H853 me now these tenH6235 timesH6471, and have not hearkenedH8085 to my voiceH6963;
Surely they shall notH518 seeH7200 the landH776 which I swareH7650 unto their fathersH1, neither shall any of them that provokedH5006 me seeH7200 it: {Surely…: Heb. If they see the land}
But my servantH5650 CalebH3612, becauseH6118 he had anotherH312 spiritH7307 with him, and hath followedH310 me fullyH4390, him will I bringH935 into the landH776 whereinto he wentH935; and his seedH2233 shall possessH3423 it.
(Now the AmalekitesH6003 and the CanaanitesH3669 dweltH3427 in the valleyH6010.) To morrowH4279 turnH6437 you, and getH5265 you into the wildernessH4057 by the wayH1870 of the RedH5488 seaH3220.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872 and unto AaronH175, sayingH559,
How long shall I bear with this evilH7451 congregationH5712, which murmurH3885 against me? I have heardH8085 the murmuringsH8519 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, which they murmurH3885 against me.
SayH559 unto them, As truly asH3808 I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, as ye have spokenH1696 in mine earsH241, so will I doH6213 to you:
Your carcasesH6297 shall fallH5307 in this wildernessH4057; and all that were numberedH6485 of you, according to your whole numberH4557, from twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and upwardH4605, which have murmuredH3885 against me,
Doubtless ye shall notH518 comeH935 into the landH776, concerning which I swareH3027+H5375 to make you dwellH7931 therein, save CalebH3612 the sonH1121 of JephunnehH3312, and JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126. {sware: Heb. lifted up my hand}
But your little onesH2945, which ye saidH559 should be a preyH957, them will I bring inH935, and they shall knowH3045 the landH776 which ye have despisedH3988.
But as for you, your carcasesH6297, they shall fallH5307 in this wildernessH4057.
And your childrenH1121 shall wanderH7462 in the wildernessH4057 fortyH705 yearsH8141, and bearH5375 your whoredomsH2184, until your carcasesH6297 be wastedH8552 in the wildernessH4057. {wander: or, feed}
After the numberH4557 of the daysH3117 in which ye searchedH8446 the landH776, even fortyH705 daysH3117, each dayH3117 for a yearH8141+H3117+H8141, shall ye bearH5375 your iniquitiesH5771, even fortyH705 yearsH8141, and ye shall knowH3045 my breach of promiseH8569. {breach…: or, altering of my purpose}
I the LORDH3068 have saidH1696, I will surelyH518+H3808 doH6213 itH2063 unto all this evilH7451 congregationH5712, that are gathered togetherH3259 against me: in this wildernessH4057 they shall be consumedH8552, and there they shall dieH4191.
And the menH582, which MosesH4872 sentH7971 to searchH8446 the landH776, who returnedH7725, and made all the congregationH5712 to murmurH3885+H3885 against him, by bringing upH3318 a slanderH1681 upon the landH776,
Even thoseH582 menH582 that did bring upH3318 the evilH7451 reportH1681 upon the landH776, diedH4191 by the plagueH4046 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068.
But JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126, and CalebH3612 the sonH1121 of JephunnehH3312, which were of the menH1992+H582 that wentH1980 to searchH8446 the landH776, livedH2421 still.
And MosesH4872 toldH1696 these sayingsH1697 unto all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: and the peopleH5971 mournedH56 greatlyH3966.
And they rose up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and gat them upH5927 into the topH7218 of the mountainH2022, sayingH559, LoH2009, we be here, and will go upH5927 unto the placeH4725 which the LORDH3068 hath promisedH559: for we have sinnedH2398.
And MosesH4872 saidH559, Wherefore now do ye transgressH5674 the commandmentH6310 of the LORDH3068? but it shall not prosperH6743.
Go not upH5927, for the LORDH3068 is not amongH7130 you; that ye be not smittenH5062 beforeH6440 your enemiesH341.
For the AmalekitesH6003 and the CanaanitesH3669 are there beforeH6440 you, and ye shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719: because ye are turnedH7725 awayH310 from the LORDH3068, therefore the LORDH3068 will not be with you.
But they presumedH6075 to go upH5927 unto the hillH2022 topH7218: nevertheless the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068, and MosesH4872, departedH4185 not outH7130 of the campH4264.
Then the AmalekitesH6003 came downH3381, and the CanaanitesH3669 which dweltH3427 in that hillH2022, and smoteH5221 them, and discomfitedH3807 them, even unto HormahH2767.
Now KorahH7141, the sonH1121 of IzharH3324, the sonH1121 of KohathH6955, the sonH1121 of LeviH3878, and DathanH1885 and AbiramH48, the sonsH1121 of EliabH446, and OnH203, the sonH1121 of PelethH6431, sonsH1121 of ReubenH7205, tookH3947 men:
And they rose upH6965 beforeH6440 MosesH4872, with certainH582 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, two hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572 princesH5387 of the assemblyH5712, famousH7148 in the congregationH4150, menH582 of renownH8034:
And they gathered themselves togetherH6950 against MosesH4872 and against AaronH175, and saidH559 unto them, Ye take too muchH7227 upon you, seeing all the congregationH5712 are holyH6918, every one of them, and the LORDH3068 is amongH8432 them: wherefore then lift ye upH5375 yourselves above the congregationH6951 of the LORDH3068? {Ye take…: Heb. It is much for you}
And when MosesH4872 heardH8085 it, he fellH5307 upon his faceH6440:
And he spakeH1696 unto KorahH7141 and unto all his companyH5712, sayingH559, Even to morrowH1242 the LORDH3068 will shewH3045 who are his, and who is holyH6918; and will cause him to come nearH7126 unto him: even him whom he hath chosenH977 will he cause to come nearH7126 unto him.
This doH6213; TakeH3947 you censersH4289, KorahH7141, and all his companyH5712;
And putH5414 fireH784 thereinH2004, and putH7760 incenseH7004 in them beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 to morrowH4279: and it shall be that the manH376 whom the LORDH3068 doth chooseH977, he shall be holyH6918: ye take too muchH7227 upon you, ye sonsH1121 of LeviH3878.
And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto KorahH7141, HearH8085, I pray you, ye sonsH1121 of LeviH3878:
Seemeth it but a small thingH4592 unto you, that the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 hath separatedH914 you from the congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478, to bring you nearH7126 to himself to doH5647 the serviceH5656 of the tabernacleH4908 of the LORDH3068, and to standH5975 beforeH6440 the congregationH5712 to ministerH8334 unto them?
And he hath brought thee nearH7126 to him, and all thy brethrenH251 the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878 with thee: and seekH1245 ye the priesthoodH3550 also?
For which causeH3651 both thou and all thy companyH5712 are gathered togetherH3259 against the LORDH3068: and what is AaronH175, that ye murmurH3885+H3885 against him?
And MosesH4872 sentH7971 to callH7121 DathanH1885 and AbiramH48, the sonsH1121 of EliabH446: which saidH559, We will not come upH5927:
Is it a small thingH4592 thatH3588 thou hast brought us upH5927 out of a landH776 that flowethH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706, to killH4191 us in the wildernessH4057, except thou makeH8323 thyself altogetherH8323 a princeH8323 over us?
MoreoverH637 thou hast not broughtH935 us into a landH776 that flowethH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706, or givenH5414 us inheritanceH5159 of fieldsH7704 and vineyardsH3754: wilt thou put outH5365 the eyesH5869 of these menH582? we will not come upH5927. {put…: Heb. bore out}
And MosesH4872 was veryH3966 wrothH2734, and saidH559 unto the LORDH3068, RespectH6437 not thou their offeringH4503: I have not takenH5375 oneH259 assH2543 from them, neither have I hurtH7489 oneH259 of them.
And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto KorahH7141, Be thou and all thy companyH5712 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, thou, and they, and AaronH175, to morrowH4279:
And takeH3947 every manH376 his censerH4289, and putH5414 incenseH7004 in them, and bringH7126 ye beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 every manH376 his censerH4289, two hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572 censersH4289; thou also, and AaronH175, eachH376 of you his censerH4289.
AndG1161 he saidG2036 unto himG846, IfG1487 they hearG191 notG3756 MosesG3475 andG2532 the prophetsG4396, neitherG3761 will they be persuadedG3982, thoughG1437 oneG5100 roseG450 fromG1537 the deadG3498.
And when kingH4428 AradH6166 the CanaaniteH3669, which dweltH3427 in the southH5045, heardH8085 tell that IsraelH3478 cameH935 by the wayH1870 of the spiesH871; then he foughtH3898 against IsraelH3478, and tookH7617 some of them prisonersH7628.
And IsraelH3478 vowedH5087 a vowH5088 unto the LORDH3068, and saidH559, If thou wilt indeedH5414 deliverH5414 this peopleH5971 into my handH3027, then I will utterly destroyH2763 their citiesH5892.
And the LORDH3068 hearkenedH8085 to the voiceH6963 of IsraelH3478, and delivered upH5414 the CanaanitesH3669; and they utterly destroyedH2763 them and their citiesH5892: and he calledH7121 the nameH8034 of the placeH4725 HormahH2767. {Hormah: that is, Utter destruction}
And they journeyedH5265 from mountH2022 HorH2023 by the wayH1870 of the RedH5488 seaH3220, to compassH5437 the landH776 of EdomH123: and the soulH5315 of the peopleH5971 was much discouragedH7114 because of the wayH1870. {discouraged: or, grieved: Heb. shortened}
And the peopleH5971 spakeH1696 against GodH430, and against MosesH4872, Wherefore have ye brought us upH5927 out of EgyptH4714 to dieH4191 in the wildernessH4057? for there is no breadH3899, neither is there any waterH4325; and our soulH5315 loathethH6973 this lightH7052 breadH3899.
And the LORDH3068 sentH7971 fieryH8314 serpentsH5175 among the peopleH5971, and they bitH5391 the peopleH5971; and muchH7227 peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478 diedH4191.
ButG1161 though heG846 had doneG4160 so manyG5118 miraclesG4592 beforeG1715 themG846, yet they believedG4100 notG3756 onG1519 himG846:
And IsraelH3478 abodeH3427 in ShittimH7851, and the peopleH5971 beganH2490 to commit whoredomH2181 with the daughtersH1323 of MoabH4124.
And they calledH7121 the peopleH5971 unto the sacrificesH2077 of their godsH430: and the peopleH5971 did eatH398, and bowed downH7812 to their godsH430.
And IsraelH3478 joinedH6775 himself unto BaalpeorH1187: and the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 was kindledH2734 against IsraelH3478.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, TakeH3947 all the headsH7218 of the peopleH5971, and hang them upH3363 beforeH5048 the LORDH3068 against the sunH8121, that the fierceH2740 angerH639 of the LORDH3068 may be turned awayH7725 from IsraelH3478.
And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto the judgesH8199 of IsraelH3478, SlayH2026 ye everyH376 oneH376 his menH582 that were joinedH6775 unto BaalpeorH1187.
And, behold, oneH376 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 cameH935 and broughtH7126 unto his brethrenH251 a Midianitish womanH4084 in the sightH5869 of MosesH4872, and in the sightH5869 of all the congregationH5712 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, who were weepingH1058 before the doorH6607 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150.
And when PhinehasH6372, the sonH1121 of EleazarH499, the sonH1121 of AaronH175 the priestH3548, sawH7200 it, he rose upH6965 from amongH8432 the congregationH5712, and tookH3947 a javelinH7420 in his handH3027;
And he wentH935 afterH310 the manH376 of IsraelH3478 into the tentH6898, and thrustH1856 bothH8147 of them through, the manH376 of IsraelH3478, and the womanH802 throughH413 her bellyH6897. So the plagueH4046 was stayedH6113 from the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And those that diedH4191 in the plagueH4046 were twentyH6242 and fourH702 thousandH505.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872, sayingH559,
PhinehasH6372, the sonH1121 of EleazarH499, the sonH1121 of AaronH175 the priestH3548, hath turnedH7725 my wrathH2534 awayH7725 from the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, while he was zealousH7065 for my sakeH7068 amongH8432 them, that I consumedH3615 not the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 in my jealousyH7068. {for…: Heb. with my zeal}
Wherefore sayH559, Behold, I giveH5414 unto him my covenantH1285 of peaceH7965:
And he shall have it, and his seedH2233 afterH310 him, even the covenantH1285 of an everlastingH5769 priesthoodH3550; becauseH834 he was zealousH7065 for his GodH430, and made an atonementH3722 for the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
Now the nameH8034 of the IsraeliteH376 that was slainH5221, even that was slainH5221 with the Midianitish womanH4084, was ZimriH2174, the sonH1121 of SaluH5543, a princeH5387 of a chiefH1 houseH1004 among the SimeonitesH8099. {chief…: Heb. house of a father}
And the nameH8034 of the MidianitishH4084 womanH802 that was slainH5221 was CozbiH3579, the daughterH1323 of ZurH6698; he was headH7218 over a peopleH523, and of a chiefH1 houseH1004 in MidianH4080.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872, sayingH559,
VexH6887 the MidianitesH4084, and smiteH5221 them:
For they vexH6887 you with their wilesH5231, wherewith they have beguiledH5230 you in the matterH1697 of PeorH6465, and in the matterH1697 of CozbiH3579, the daughterH1323 of a princeH5387 of MidianH4080, their sisterH269, which was slainH5221 in the dayH3117 of the plagueH4046 for Peor'sH6465 sakeH1697.
But the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 rebelledH4784 against me in the wildernessH4057: they walkedH1980 not in my statutesH2708, and they despisedH3988 my judgmentsH4941, which if a manH120 doH6213, he shall even liveH2425 in them; and my sabbathsH7676 they greatlyH3966 pollutedH2490: then I saidH559, I would pour outH8210 my furyH2534 upon them in the wildernessH4057, to consumeH3615 them.
