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 GodH430 blessedH1288 the seventhH7637 dayH3117, and sanctifiedH6942 it: becauseH3588 that in it he had restedH7673 from all his workH4399 which GodH430 createdH1254 and madeH6213. {created…: Heb. created to make}
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.
And the heathenH1471 shall knowH3045 that I the LORDH3068 do sanctifyH6942 IsraelH3478, when my sanctuaryH4720 shall be in the midstH8432 of them for evermoreH5769.
SeeH7200, for that the LORDH3068 hath givenH5414 you the sabbathH7676, therefore he givethH5414 you on the sixthH8345 dayH3117 the breadH3899 of two daysH3117; abideH3427 ye every manH376 in his place, let no manH376 go outH3318 of his placeH4725 on the seventhH7637 dayH3117.
SpeakH1696 thou also unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, VerilyH389 my sabbathsH7676 ye shall keepH8104: for it is a signH226 between me and you throughout your generationsH1755; that ye may knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068 that doth sanctifyH6942 you.
Ye shall keepH8104 the sabbathH7676 therefore; for it is holyH6944 unto you: every one that defilethH2490 it shall surelyH4191 be put to deathH4191: for whosoever doethH6213 any workH4399 therein, that soulH5315 shall be cut offH3772 from amongH7130 his peopleH5971.
SixH8337 daysH3117 may workH4399 be doneH6213; but in the seventhH7637 is the sabbathH7676 of restH7677, holyH6944 to the LORDH3068: whosoever doethH6213 any workH4399 in the sabbathH7676 dayH3117, he shall surelyH4191 be put to deathH4191. {holy: Heb. holiness}
Wherefore the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 shall keepH8104 the sabbathH7676, to observeH6213 the sabbathH7676 throughout their generationsH1755, for a perpetualH5769 covenantH1285.
It is a signH226 between me and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 for everH5769: for in sixH8337 daysH3117 the LORDH3068 madeH6213 heavenH8064 and earthH776, and on the seventhH7637 dayH3117 he restedH7673, and was refreshedH5314.
Now therefore, if ye will obeyH8085 my voiceH6963 indeedH8085, and keepH8104 my covenantH1285, then ye shall be a peculiar treasureH5459 unto me above all peopleH5971: for all the earthH776 is mine:
RememberH2142 the sabbathH7676 dayH3117, to keep it holyH6942.
SixH8337 daysH3117 shalt thou labourH5647, and doH6213 all thy workH4399:
But the seventhH7637 dayH3117 is the sabbathH7676 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430: in it thou shalt not doH6213 any workH4399, thou, nor thy sonH1121, nor thy daughterH1323, thy manservantH5650, nor thy maidservantH519, nor thy cattleH929, nor thy strangerH1616 that is within thy gatesH8179:
For in sixH8337 daysH3117 the LORDH3068 madeH6213 heavenH8064 and earthH776, the seaH3220, and all that in them is, and restedH5117 the seventhH7637 dayH3117: wherefore the LORDH3068 blessedH1288 the sabbathH7676 dayH3117, and hallowedH6942 it.
And ye shall be unto me a kingdomH4467 of priestsH3548, and an holyH6918 nationH1471. These are the wordsH1697 which thou shalt speakH1696 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
SixH8337 daysH3117 shall workH4399 be doneH6213, but on the seventhH7637 dayH3117 there shall be to you an holy dayH6944, a sabbathH7676 of restH7677 to the LORDH3068: whosoever doethH6213 workH4399 therein shall be put to deathH4191. {an…: Heb. holiness}
And ye shall keepH8104 my statutesH2708, and doH6213 them: I am the LORDH3068 which sanctifyH6942 you.
SixH8337 daysH3117 shall workH4399 be doneH6213: but the seventhH7637 dayH3117 is the sabbathH7676 of restH7677, an holyH6944 convocationH4744; ye shall doH6213 no workH4399 therein: it is the sabbathH7676 of the LORDH3068 in all your dwellingsH4186.
Thou shalt sanctifyH6942 him therefore; for he offerethH7126 the breadH3899 of thy GodH430: he shall be holyH6918 unto thee: for I the LORDH3068, which sanctifyH6942 you, am holyH6918.
SpeakH1696 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, In the seventhH7637 monthH2320, in the firstH259 day of the monthH2320, shall ye have a sabbathH7677, a memorialH2146 of blowingH8643 of trumpets, an holyH6944 convocationH4744.
Neither shall he profaneH2490 his seedH2233 among his peopleH5971: for I the LORDH3068 do sanctifyH6942 him.
It shall be unto you a sabbathH7676 of restH7677, and ye shall afflictH6031 your soulsH5315: in the ninthH8672 day of the monthH2320 at evenH6153, from evenH6153 unto evenH6153, shall ye celebrateH7673 your sabbathH7676. {celebrate: Heb. rest}
Only he shall not go inH935 unto the vailH6532, nor come nighH5066 unto the altarH4196, because he hath a blemishH3971; that he profaneH2490 not my sanctuariesH4720: for I the LORDH3068 do sanctifyH6942 them.
Also in the fifteenthH2568+H6240 dayH3117 of the seventhH7637 monthH2320, when ye have gatheredH622 in the fruitH8393 of the landH776, ye shall keepH2287 a feastH2282 unto the LORDH3068 sevenH7651 daysH3117: on the firstH7223 dayH3117 shall be a sabbathH7677, and on the eighthH8066 dayH3117 shall be a sabbathH7677.
SanctifyG37 themG846 throughG1722 thyG4675 truthG225: thyG4674 wordG3056 isG2076 truthG225.
AsG2531 thou hast sentG649 meG1691 intoG1519 the worldG2889, even soG2504 haveG649 I alsoG2504 sentG649 themG846 intoG1519 the worldG2889.
AndG2532 forG5228 theirG846 sakesG5228 IG1473 sanctifyG37 myselfG1683, thatG2443 theyG846 alsoG2532 mightG5600 be sanctifiedG37 throughG1722 the truthG225. {sanctified…: or, truly sanctified}
But in the seventhH7637 yearH8141 shall be a sabbathH7676 of restH7677 unto the landH776, a sabbathH7676 for the LORDH3068: thou shalt neither sowH2232 thy fieldH7704, nor pruneH2168 thy vineyardH3754.
AndG1161 the veryG846 GodG2316 of peaceG1515 sanctifyG37 youG5209 whollyG3651; andG2532 I pray God yourG5216 wholeG3648 spiritG4151 andG2532 soulG5590 andG2532 bodyG4983 be preservedG5083 blamelessG274 untoG1722 the comingG3952 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
KeepH8104 the sabbathH7676 dayH3117 to sanctifyH6942 it, as the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath commandedH6680 thee.
SixH8337 daysH3117 thou shalt labourH5647, and doH6213 all thy workH4399:
But the seventhH7637 dayH3117 is the sabbathH7676 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430: in it thou shalt not doH6213 any workH4399, thou, nor thy sonH1121, nor thy daughterH1323, nor thy manservantH5650, nor thy maidservantH519, nor thine oxH7794, nor thine assH2543, nor any of thy cattleH929, nor thy strangerH1616 that is within thy gatesH8179; that thy manservantH5650 and thy maidservantH519 may restH5117 as well as thou.
And rememberH2142 that thou wast a servantH5650 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and that the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 broughtH3318 thee out thence through a mightyH2389 handH3027 and by a stretched outH5186 armH2220: therefore the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 commandedH6680 thee to keepH6213 the sabbathH7676 dayH3117.
JudeG2455, the servantG1401 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, andG1161 brotherG80 of JamesG2385, to them that are sanctifiedG37 byG1722 GodG2316 the FatherG3962, andG2532 preservedG5083 in JesusG2424 ChristG5547, and calledG2822:
And madest knownH3045 unto them thy holyH6944 sabbathH7676, and commandedstH6680 them preceptsH4687, statutesH2706, and lawsH8451, by the handH3027 of MosesH4872 thy servantH5650:
