And it came to pass in the seventhH7637 yearH8141, in the fifthH2549 month, the tenthH6218 day of the monthH2320, that certainH582 of the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 cameH935 to enquireH1875 of the LORDH3068, and satH3427 beforeH6440 me.
Then came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, speakH1696 unto the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478, and sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Are ye comeH935 to enquireH1875 of me? As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, I will not be enquiredH1875 of by you.
Wilt thou judgeH8199 them, sonH1121 of manH120, wilt thou judgeH8199 them? cause them to knowH3045 the abominationsH8441 of their fathersH1: {Wilt…: or, Wilt thou plead for them}
And sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; In the dayH3117 when I choseH977 IsraelH3478, and lifted upH5375 mine handH3027 unto the seedH2233 of the houseH1004 of JacobH3290, and made myself knownH3045 unto them in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, when I liftedH5375 up mine handH3027 unto them, sayingH559, I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430; {lifted…: or, sware}
In the dayH3117 that I lifted upH5375 mine handH3027 unto them, to bring them forthH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 into a landH776 that I had espiedH8446 for them, flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706, which is the gloryH6643 of all landsH776:
Then saidH559 I unto them, Cast ye awayH7993 every manH376 the abominationsH8251 of his eyesH5869, and defileH2930 not yourselves with the idolsH1544 of EgyptH4714: I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430.
But they rebelledH4784 against me, and wouldH14 not hearkenH8085 unto me: they did not every manH376 cast awayH7993 the abominationsH8251 of their eyesH5869, neither did they forsakeH5800 the idolsH1544 of EgyptH4714: then I saidH559, I will pour outH8210 my furyH2534 upon them, to accomplishH3615 my angerH639 against them in the midstH8432 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
But I wroughtH6213 for my name'sH8034 sake, that it should not be pollutedH2490 beforeH5869 the heathenH1471, amongH8432 whom they were, in whose sightH5869 I made myself knownH3045 unto them, in bringing them forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
Wherefore I caused them to go forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and broughtH935 them into the wildernessH4057.
And I gaveH5414 them my statutesH2708, and shewedH3045 them my judgmentsH4941, which if a manH120 doH6213, he shall even liveH2425 in them. {shewed…: Heb. made them to know}
Moreover also I gaveH5414 them my sabbathsH7676, to be a signH226 between me and them, that they might knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068 that sanctifyH6942 them.
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.
But I wroughtH6213 for my name'sH8034 sake, that it should not be pollutedH2490 beforeH5869 the heathenH1471, in whose sightH5869 I brought them outH3318.
Yet also I lifted upH5375 my handH3027 unto them in the wildernessH4057, that I would not bringH935 them into the landH776 which I had givenH5414 them, flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706, which is the gloryH6643 of all landsH776;
Because they despisedH3988 my judgmentsH4941, and walkedH1980 not in my statutesH2708, but pollutedH2490 my sabbathsH7676: for their heartH3820 wentH1980 afterH310 their idolsH1544.
Nevertheless mine eyeH5869 sparedH2347 them from destroyingH7843 them, neither did I makeH6213 an endH3617 of them in the wildernessH4057.
But I saidH559 unto their childrenH1121 in the wildernessH4057, WalkH3212 ye not in the statutesH2706 of your fathersH1, neither observeH8104 their judgmentsH4941, nor defileH2930 yourselves with their idolsH1544:
I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430; walkH3212 in my statutesH2708, and keepH8104 my judgmentsH4941, and doH6213 them;
And hallowH6942 my sabbathsH7676; and they shall be a signH226 between me and you, that ye may knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430.
Notwithstanding the childrenH1121 rebelledH4784 against me: they walkedH1980 not in my statutesH2708, neither keptH8104 my judgmentsH4941 to doH6213 them, which if a manH120 doH6213, he shall even liveH2425 in them; they pollutedH2490 my sabbathsH7676: then I saidH559, I would pour outH8210 my furyH2534 upon them, to accomplishH3615 my angerH639 against them in the wildernessH4057.
Nevertheless I withdrewH7725 mine handH3027, and wroughtH6213 for my name'sH8034 sake, that it should not be pollutedH2490 in the sightH5869 of the heathenH1471, in whose sightH5869 I brought them forthH3318.
I lifted upH5375 mine handH3027 unto them also in the wildernessH4057, that I would scatterH6327 them among the heathenH1471, and disperseH2219 them through the countriesH776;
Because they had not executedH6213 my judgmentsH4941, but had despisedH3988 my statutesH2708, and had pollutedH2490 my sabbathsH7676, and their eyesH5869 were afterH310 their fathers'H1 idolsH1544.
Wherefore I gaveH5414 them also statutesH2706 that were not goodH2896, and judgmentsH4941 whereby they should not liveH2421;
And I pollutedH2930 them in their own giftsH4979, in that they caused to pass throughH5674 the fire all that openethH6363 the wombH7356, that I might make them desolateH8074, to the end that they might knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
Therefore, sonH1121 of manH120, speakH1696 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, and sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Yet in this your fathersH1 have blasphemedH1442 me, in that they have committedH4603 a trespassH4604 against me. {committed…: Heb. trespassed a trespass}
For when I had broughtH935 them into the landH776, for the which I lifted upH5375 mine handH3027 to giveH5414 it to them, then they sawH7200 every highH7311 hillH1389, and all the thickH5687 treesH6086, and they offeredH2076 there their sacrificesH2077, and there they presentedH5414 the provocationH3708 of their offeringH7133: there also they madeH7760 their sweetH5207 savourH7381, and poured outH5258 there their drink offeringsH5262.
Then I saidH559 unto them, What is the high placeH1116 whereunto ye goH935? And the nameH8034 thereof is calledH7121 BamahH1117 unto this dayH3117. {I said…: or, I told them what the high place was, or, Bamah}
Wherefore sayH559 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Are ye pollutedH2930 after the mannerH1870 of your fathersH1? and commit ye whoredomH2181 afterH310 their abominationsH8251?
For when ye offerH5375 your giftsH4979, when ye make your sonsH1121 to pass throughH5674 the fireH784, ye polluteH2930 yourselves with all your idolsH1544, even unto this dayH3117: and shall I be enquiredH1875 of by you, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478? As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, I will not be enquiredH1875 of by you.
And that which comethH5927 into your mindH7307 shall not be at all, that ye sayH559, We will beH1961 as the heathenH1471, as the familiesH4940 of the countriesH776, to serveH8334 woodH6086 and stoneH68.
As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, surely with a mightyH2389 handH3027, and with a stretched outH5186 armH2220, and with furyH2534 poured outH8210, will I ruleH4427 over you:
And I will bring you outH3318 from the peopleH5971, and will gatherH6908 you out of the countriesH776 wherein ye are scatteredH6327, with a mightyH2389 handH3027, and with a stretched outH5186 armH2220, and with furyH2534 poured outH8210.
And I will bringH935 you into the wildernessH4057 of the peopleH5971, and there will I pleadH8199 with you faceH6440 to faceH6440.
Like as I pleadedH8199 with your fathersH1 in the wildernessH4057 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, so will I pleadH8199 with you, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
And I will cause you to passH5674 under the rodH7626, and I will bringH935 you into the bondH4562 of the covenantH1285: {bond: or, delivering}
And I will purge outH1305 from among you the rebelsH4775, and them that transgressH6586 against me: I will bring them forthH3318 out of the countryH776 where they sojournH4033, and they shall not enterH935 into the landH127 of IsraelH3478: and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
As for you, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; GoH3212 ye, serveH5647 ye every oneH376 his idolsH1544, and hereafterH310 also, if ye will not hearkenH8085 unto me: but polluteH2490 ye my holyH6944 nameH8034 no more with your giftsH4979, and with your idolsH1544.
For in mine holyH6944 mountainH2022, in the mountainH2022 of the heightH4791 of IsraelH3478, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, there shall all the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, all of them in the landH776, serveH5647 me: there will I acceptH7521 them, and there will I requireH1875 your offeringsH8641, and the firstfruitsH7225 of your oblationsH4864, with all your holy thingsH6944. {firstfruits: or, chief}
I will acceptH7521 you with your sweetH5207 savourH7381, when I bring you outH3318 from the peopleH5971, and gatherH6908 you out of the countriesH776 wherein ye have been scatteredH6327; and I will be sanctifiedH6942 in you beforeH5869 the heathenH1471. {sweet…: Heb. savour of rest}
And ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, when I shall bringH935 you into the landH127 of IsraelH3478, into the countryH776 for the which I lifted upH5375 mine handH3027 to giveH5414 it to your fathersH1.
And there shall ye rememberH2142 your waysH1870, and all your doingsH5949, wherein ye have been defiledH2930; and ye shall lotheH6962 yourselves in your own sightH6440 for all your evilsH7451 that ye have committedH6213.
And ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, when I have wroughtH6213 with you for my name'sH8034 sake, not according to your wickedH7451 waysH1870, nor according to your corruptH7843 doingsH5949, O ye houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
Moreover the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, setH7760 thy faceH6440 towardH1870 the southH8486, and dropH5197 thy word toward the southH1864, and prophesyH5012 against the forestH3293 of the southH5045 fieldH7704;
And sayH559 to the forestH3293 of the southH5045, HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068; Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I will kindleH3341 a fireH784 in thee, and it shall devourH398 every greenH3892 treeH6086 in thee, and every dryH3002 treeH6086: the flamingH3852 flameH7957 shall not be quenchedH3518, and all facesH6440 from the southH5045 to the northH6828 shall be burnedH6866 therein.
And all fleshH1320 shall seeH7200 that I the LORDH3068 have kindledH1197 it: it shall not be quenchedH3518.
Then saidH559 I, AhH162 LordH136 GODH3069! they sayH559 of me, Doth he not speakH4911 parablesH4912?

And sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; In the dayH3117 when I choseH977 IsraelH3478, and lifted upH5375 mine handH3027 unto the seedH2233 of the houseH1004 of JacobH3290, and made myself knownH3045 unto them in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, when I liftedH5375 up mine handH3027 unto them, sayingH559, I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430; {lifted…: or, sware}
And he saidH559 unto AbramH87, KnowH3045 of a suretyH3045 that thy seedH2233 shall be a strangerH1616 in a landH776 that is not theirs, and shall serveH5647 them; and they shall afflictH6031 them fourH702 hundredH3967 yearsH8141;
For the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 bringethH935 thee into a goodH2896 landH776, a landH776 of brooksH5158 of waterH4325, of fountainsH5869 and depthsH8415 that spring outH3318 of valleysH1237 and hillsH2022;
A landH776 of wheatH2406, and barleyH8184, and vinesH1612, and fig treesH8384, and pomegranatesH7416; a landH776 of oilH8081 oliveH2132, and honeyH1706; {of oil…: Heb. of olive tree of oil}
A landH776 whereinH834 thou shalt eatH398 breadH3899 withoutH3808 scarcenessH4544, thou shalt not lackH2637 any thing in it; a landH776 whose stonesH68 are ironH1270, and out of whose hillsH2042 thou mayest digH2672 brassH5178.
And it shall be when the LORDH3068 shall bringH935 thee into the landH776 of the CanaanitesH3669, and the HittitesH2850, and the AmoritesH567, and the HivitesH2340, and the JebusitesH2983, which he swareH7650 unto thy fathersH1 to giveH5414 thee, a landH776 flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706, that thou shalt keepH5647 this serviceH5656 in this monthH2320.
Yet also I lifted upH5375 my handH3027 unto them in the wildernessH4057, that I would not bringH935 them into the landH776 which I had givenH5414 them, flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706, which is the gloryH6643 of all landsH776;
Yet also I lifted upH5375 my handH3027 unto them in the wildernessH4057, that I would not bringH935 them into the landH776 which I had givenH5414 them, flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706, which is the gloryH6643 of all landsH776;
And also that nationH1471, whom they shall serveH5647, will I judgeH1777: and afterwardH310+H3651 shall they come outH3318 with greatH1419 substanceH7399.
But the landH776, whither ye goH5674 to possessH3423 it, is a landH776 of hillsH2022 and valleysH1237, and drinkethH8354 waterH4325 of the rainH4306 of heavenH8064:
Unto a landH776 flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706: for I will not go upH5927 in the midstH7130 of thee; for thou art a stiffneckedH7186+H6203 peopleH5971: lest I consumeH3615 thee in the wayH1870.
BeautifulH3303 for situationH5131, the joyH4885 of the whole earthH776, is mountH2022 ZionH6726, on the sidesH3411 of the northH6828, the cityH7151 of the greatH7227 KingH4428.
I lifted upH5375 mine handH3027 unto them also in the wildernessH4057, that I would scatterH6327 them among the heathenH1471, and disperseH2219 them through the countriesH776;
And I am come downH3381 to deliverH5337 them out of the handH3027 of the EgyptiansH4714, and to bringH5927 them up out of that landH776 unto a goodH2896 landH776 and a largeH7342, unto a landH776 flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706; unto the placeH4725 of the CanaanitesH3669, and the HittitesH2850, and the AmoritesH567, and the PerizzitesH6522, and the HivitesH2340, and the JebusitesH2983.
A landH776 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 careth forH1875: the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 are alwaysH8548 upon it, from the beginningH7225 of the yearH8141 even unto the endH319 of the yearH8141. {careth…: Heb. seeketh}
But I have saidH559 unto you, Ye shall inheritH3423 their landH127, and I will giveH5414 it unto you to possessH3423 it, a landH776 that flowethH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706: I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430, which have separatedH914 you from other peopleH5971.
And out of oneH259 of them came forthH3318 a littleH4704 hornH7161, which waxed exceedingH3499 greatH1431, toward the southH5045, and toward the eastH4217, and toward the pleasantH6643 land.
And ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, when I shall bringH935 you into the landH127 of IsraelH3478, into the countryH776 for the which I lifted upH5375 mine handH3027 to giveH5414 it to your fathersH1.
And I have saidH559, I will bringH5927 you up out of the afflictionH6040 of EgyptH4714 unto the landH776 of the CanaanitesH3669, and the HittitesH2850, and the AmoritesH567, and the PerizzitesH6522, and the HivitesH2340, and the JebusitesH2983, unto a landH776 flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706.
When the most HighH5945 dividedH5157 to the nationsH1471 their inheritanceH5157, when he separatedH6504 the sonsH1121 of AdamH120, he setH5324 the boundsH1367 of the peopleH5971 according to the numberH4557 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And they toldH5608 him, and saidH559, We cameH935 unto the landH776 whither thou sentestH7971 us, and surely it flowethH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706; and this is the fruitH6529 of it.
But he that comethH935 against him shall doH6213 according to his own willH7522, and none shall standH5975 beforeH6440 him: and he shall standH5975 in the gloriousH6643 landH776, which by his handH3027 shall be consumedH3617. {glorious…: or, goodly, etc.: Heb. land of ornament}
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872, sayingH559,
SpeakH1696 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, that they turnH7725 and encampH2583 beforeH6440 PihahirothH6367, between MigdolH4024 and the seaH3220, over againstH6440 BaalzephonH1189: beforeH5226 it shall ye encampH2583 by the seaH3220.
For PharaohH6547 will sayH559 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, They are entangledH943 in the landH776, the wildernessH4057 hath shut them inH5462.
And I will hardenH2388 Pharaoh'sH6547 heartH3820, that he shall followH7291 afterH310 them; and I will be honouredH3513 upon PharaohH6547, and upon all his hostH2428; that the EgyptiansH4714 may knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068. And they didH6213 so.
And it was toldH5046 the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 that the peopleH5971 fledH1272: and the heartH3824 of PharaohH6547 and of his servantsH5650 was turnedH2015 against the peopleH5971, and they saidH559, Why have we doneH6213 this, that we have let IsraelH3478 goH7971 from servingH5647 us?
And he made readyH631 his chariotH7393, and tookH3947 his peopleH5971 with him:
And he tookH3947 sixH8337 hundredH3967 chosenH977 chariotsH7393, and all the chariotsH7393 of EgyptH4714, and captainsH7991 over every one of them.
And the LORDH3068 hardenedH2388 the heartH3820 of PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, and he pursuedH7291 afterH310 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 went outH3318 with an highH7311 handH3027.
But the EgyptiansH4714 pursuedH7291 afterH310 them, all the horsesH5483 and chariotsH7393 of PharaohH6547, and his horsemenH6571, and his armyH2428, and overtookH5381 them encampingH2583 by the seaH3220, beside PihahirothH6367, beforeH6440 BaalzephonH1189.
And when PharaohH6547 drew nighH7126, the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 lifted upH5375 their eyesH5869, and, behold, the EgyptiansH4714 marchedH5265 afterH310 them; and they were soreH3966 afraidH3372: and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 cried outH6817 unto the LORDH3068.
And they saidH559 unto MosesH4872, Because there were no gravesH6913 in EgyptH4714, hast thou taken us awayH3947 to dieH4191 in the wildernessH4057? whereforeH2063 hast thou dealtH6213 thus with us, to carry us forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714?
Is not this the wordH1697 that we did tellH1696 thee in EgyptH4714, sayingH559, Let us aloneH2308, that we may serveH5647 the EgyptiansH4714? For it had been betterH2896 for us to serveH5647 the EgyptiansH4714, than that we should dieH4191 in the wildernessH4057.
And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto the peopleH5971, FearH3372 ye not, stand stillH3320, and seeH7200 the salvationH3444 of the LORDH3068, which he will shewH6213 to you to dayH3117: for the EgyptiansH4714 whom ye have seenH7200 to dayH3117, ye shall seeH7200 them againH3254 no more forH5704 everH5769. {for the…: or, for whereas ye have seen the Egyptians to day}
The LORDH3068 shall fightH3898 for you, and ye shall hold your peaceH2790.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, Wherefore criestH6817 thou unto me? speakH1696 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, that they go forwardH5265:
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.
He shall enterH935 also into the gloriousH6643 landH776, and manyH7227 countries shall be overthrownH3782: but these shall escapeH4422 out of his handH3027, even EdomH123, and MoabH4124, and the chiefH7225 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983. {glorious…: or, goodly, etc.: Heb. land of delight, or, ornament}
HearH8085 therefore, O IsraelH3478, and observeH8104 to doH6213 it; that it may be wellH3190 with thee, and that ye may increaseH7235 mightilyH3966, as the LORDH3068 GodH430 of thy fathersH1 hath promisedH1696 thee, in the landH776 that flowethH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706.
But I scattered them with a whirlwindH5590 among all the nationsH1471 whom they knewH3045 not. Thus the landH776 was desolateH8074 afterH310 them, that no man passed throughH5674 nor returnedH7725: for they laidH7760 the pleasantH2532 landH776 desolateH8047. {pleasant…: Heb. land of desire}
And that ye may prolongH748 your daysH3117 in the landH127, which the LORDH3068 swareH7650 unto your fathersH1 to giveH5414 unto them and to their seedH2233, a landH776 that flowethH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706.
And he hath broughtH935 us into this placeH4725, and hath givenH5414 us this landH776, even a landH776 that flowethH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706.
Look downH8259 from thy holyH6944 habitationH4583, from heavenH8064, and blessH1288 thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and the landH127 which thou hast givenH5414 us, as thou swarestH7650 unto our fathersH1, a landH776 that flowethH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706.
And thou shalt writeH3789 upon them all the wordsH1697 of this lawH8451, when thou art passed overH5674, that thou mayest go inH935 unto the landH776 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee, a landH776 that flowethH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706; as the LORDH3068 GodH430 of thy fathersH1 hath promisedH1696 thee.
For when I shall have broughtH935 them into the landH127 which I swareH7650 unto their fathersH1, that flowethH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706; and they shall have eatenH398 and filledH7646 themselves, and waxen fatH1878; then will they turnH6437 unto otherH312 godsH430, and serveH5647 them, and provokeH5006 me, and breakH6565 my covenantH1285.
He made him rideH7392 on the high placesH1116 of the earthH776, that he might eatH398 the increaseH8570 of the fieldsH7704; and he made him to suckH3243 honeyH1706 out of the rockH5553, and oilH8081 out of the flintyH2496 rockH6697;
ButterH2529 of kineH1241, and milkH2461 of sheepH6629, with fatH2459 of lambsH3733, and ramsH352 of the breedH1121 of BashanH1316, and goatsH6260, with the fatH2459 of kidneysH3629 of wheatH2406; and thou didst drinkH8354 the pureH2561 bloodH1818 of the grapeH6025.
For the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 walkedH1980 fortyH705 yearsH8141 in the wildernessH4057, till all the peopleH1471 that were menH582 of warH4421, which came outH3318 of EgyptH4714, were consumedH8552, because they obeyedH8085 not the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068: unto whom the LORDH3068 swareH7650 that he would not shewH7200 them the landH776, which the LORDH3068 swareH7650 unto their fathersH1 that he would giveH5414 us, a landH776 that flowethH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706.
