SimonG4826 PeterG4074, a servantG1401 andG2532 an apostleG652 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, to them that have obtainedG2975 like preciousG2472 faithG4102 with usG2254 throughG1722 the righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316 andG2532 ourG2257 SaviourG4990 JesusG2424 ChristG5547: {Simon: or, Symeon} {God…: Gr. of our God and Saviour}
GraceG5485 andG2532 peaceG1515 be multipliedG4129 unto youG5213 throughG1722 the knowledgeG1922 of GodG2316, andG2532 of JesusG2424 ourG2257 LordG2962,
According asG5613 hisG846 divineG2304 powerG1411 hath givenG1433 unto usG2254 all thingsG3956 that pertain untoG4314 lifeG2222 andG2532 godlinessG2150, throughG1223 the knowledgeG1922 of him that hath calledG2564 usG2248 toG1223 gloryG1391 andG2532 virtueG703: {to: or, by}
WherebyG1223+G3739 are givenG1433 unto usG2254 exceeding greatG3176 andG2532 preciousG5093 promisesG1862: thatG2443 byG1223 theseG5130 ye might beG1096 partakersG2844 of the divineG2304 natureG5449, having escapedG668 the corruptionG5356 that is inG1722 the worldG2889 throughG1722 lustG1939.
AndG2532+G1161 besideG846 thisG5124, givingG3923 allG3956 diligenceG4710, addG2023 toG1722 yourG5216 faithG4102 virtueG703; andG1161 toG1722 virtueG703 knowledgeG1108;
AndG1161 toG1722 knowledgeG1108 temperanceG1466; andG1161 toG1722 temperanceG1466 patienceG5281; andG1161 toG1722 patienceG5281 godlinessG2150;
AndG1161 toG1722 godlinessG2150 brotherly kindnessG5360; andG1161 toG1722 brotherly kindnessG5360 charityG26.
ForG1063 if these thingsG5023 beG5225 in youG5213, andG2532 aboundG4121, they makeG2525 you that ye shall neitherG3756 be barrenG692 norG3761 unfruitfulG175 inG1519 the knowledgeG1922 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. {barren: Gr. idle}
ButG1063 he thatG3739 lackethG3361+G3918 these thingsG5023 isG2076 blindG5185, and cannot see afar offG3467, and hath forgottenG3024+G2983 that he was purged fromG2512 hisG846 oldG3819 sinsG266.
WhereforeG1352 the ratherG3123, brethrenG80, give diligenceG4704 to makeG4160 yourG5216 callingG2821 andG2532 electionG1589 sureG949: forG1063 if ye doG4160 these thingsG5023, ye shallG4218+G4417 neverG3364 fallG4218+G4417:
ForG1063 soG3779 an entranceG1529 shall be ministeredG2023 unto youG5213 abundantlyG4146 intoG1519 the everlastingG166 kingdomG932 of ourG2257 LordG2962 andG2532 SaviourG4990 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
WhereforeG1352 I willG272 notG3756 be negligentG272 to putG5279 youG5209 alwaysG104 in remembranceG5279 ofG4012 these thingsG5130, thoughG2539 ye knowG1492 them, andG2532 be establishedG4741 inG1722 the presentG3918 truthG225.
YeaG1161, I think itG2233 meetG1342, as long asG1909+G3745 I amG1510 inG1722 thisG5129 tabernacleG4638, to stirG1326 youG5209 upG1326 byG1722 putting you in remembranceG5280;
KnowingG1492 thatG3754 shortlyG5031 I mustG2076 put offG595 this myG3450 tabernacleG4638, evenG2532 asG2531 ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 hath shewedG1213 meG3427.
MoreoverG1161+G2532 I will endeavourG4704 that yeG5209 may be ableG2192 afterG3326 myG1699 deceaseG1841 to haveG4160 these thingsG5130 alwaysG1539 in remembranceG3420.
ForG1063 we haveG1811 notG3756 followedG1811 cunningly devisedG4679 fablesG3454, when we made knownG1107 unto youG5213 the powerG1411 andG2532 comingG3952 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, butG235 wereG1096 eyewitnessesG2030 of hisG1565 majestyG3168.
ForG1063 he receivedG2983 fromG3844 GodG2316 the FatherG3962 honourG5092 andG2532 gloryG1391, when there cameG5342 suchG5107 a voiceG5456 to himG846 fromG5259 the excellentG3169 gloryG1391, ThisG3778 isG2076 myG3450 belovedG27 SonG5207, inG1519 whomG3739 IG1473 am well pleasedG2106.
AndG2532 thisG5026 voiceG5456 which cameG5342 fromG1537 heavenG3772 weG2249 heardG191, when we wereG5607 withG4862 himG846 inG1722 the holyG40 mountG3735.
We haveG2192 alsoG2532 a more sureG949 wordG3056 of prophecyG4397; whereuntoG3739 ye doG4160 wellG2573 that ye take heedG4337, asG5613 unto a lightG3088 that shinethG5316 inG1722 a darkG850 placeG5117, untilG2193+G3739 the dayG2250 dawnG1306, andG2532 the day starG5459 ariseG393 inG1722 yourG5216 heartsG2588:
KnowingG1097 thisG5124 firstG4412, thatG3754 noG3756+G3956 prophecyG4394 of the scriptureG1124 isG1096 of any privateG2398 interpretationG1955.
ForG1063 the prophecyG4394 cameG5342 notG3756 in old timeG4218 by the willG2307 of manG444: butG235 holyG40 menG444 of GodG2316 spakeG2980 as they were movedG5342 byG5259 the HolyG40 GhostG4151. {in old time: or, at any time}

Now therefore writeH3789 ye this songH7892 for you, and teachH3925 it the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: putH7760 it in their mouthsH6310, that this songH7892 may be a witnessH5707 for me against the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
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.
And it shall come to pass, when manyH7227 evilsH7451 and troublesH6869 are befallenH4672 them, that this songH7892 shall testifyH6030 againstH6440 them as a witnessH5707; for it shall not be forgottenH7911 out of the mouthsH6310 of their seedH2233: for I knowH3045 their imaginationH3336 which they go aboutH6213, even nowH3117, before I have broughtH935 them into the landH776 which I swareH7650. {against: Heb. before} {go…: Heb. do}
MosesH4872 therefore wroteH3789 this songH7892 the same dayH3117, and taughtH3925 it the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And he gave JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126 a chargeH6680, and saidH559, Be strongH2388 and of a good courageH553: for thou shalt bringH935 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 into the landH776 which I swareH7650 unto them: and I will be with thee.
And it came to pass, when MosesH4872 had made an endH3615 of writingH3789 the wordsH1697 of this lawH8451 in a bookH5612, until they were finishedH8552,
That MosesH4872 commandedH6680 the LevitesH3881, which bareH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068, sayingH559,
TakeH3947 this bookH5612 of the lawH8451, and putH7760 it in the sideH6654 of the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430, that it may be there for a witnessH5707 against thee.
For I knowH3045 thy rebellionH4805, and thy stiffH7186 neckH6203: behold, while I am yet aliveH2416 with you this dayH3117, ye have been rebelliousH4784 against the LORDH3068; and how much more afterH310 my deathH4194?
GatherH6950 unto me all the eldersH2205 of your tribesH7626, and your officersH7860, that I may speakH1696 these wordsH1697 in their earsH241, and callH5749 heavenH8064 and earthH776 to recordH5749 against them.
For I knowH3045 that afterH310 my deathH4194 ye will utterlyH7843 corruptH7843 yourselves, and turn asideH5493 from the wayH1870 which I have commandedH6680 you; and evilH7451 will befallH7122 you in the latterH319 daysH3117; because ye will doH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, to provoke him to angerH3707 through the workH4639 of your handsH3027.
WherebyG1223+G3739 are givenG1433 unto usG2254 exceeding greatG3176 andG2532 preciousG5093 promisesG1862: thatG2443 byG1223 theseG5130 ye might beG1096 partakersG2844 of the divineG2304 natureG5449, having escapedG668 the corruptionG5356 that is inG1722 the worldG2889 throughG1722 lustG1939.
AndG2532+G1161 besideG846 thisG5124, givingG3923 allG3956 diligenceG4710, addG2023 toG1722 yourG5216 faithG4102 virtueG703; andG1161 toG1722 virtueG703 knowledgeG1108;
AndG1161 toG1722 knowledgeG1108 temperanceG1466; andG1161 toG1722 temperanceG1466 patienceG5281; andG1161 toG1722 patienceG5281 godlinessG2150;
AndG1161 toG1722 godlinessG2150 brotherly kindnessG5360; andG1161 toG1722 brotherly kindnessG5360 charityG26.
And the peopleH5971 saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, The LORDH3068 our GodH430 will we serveH5647, and his voiceH6963 will we obeyH8085.
So JoshuaH3091 madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with the peopleH5971 that dayH3117, and setH7760 them a statuteH2706 and an ordinanceH4941 in ShechemH7927.
And JoshuaH3091 wroteH3789 these wordsH1697 in the bookH5612 of the lawH8451 of GodH430, and tookH3947 a greatH1419 stoneH68, and set it upH6965 there under an oakH427, that was by the sanctuaryH4720 of the LORDH3068.
And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto all the peopleH5971, Behold, this stoneH68 shall be a witnessH5713 unto us; for it hath heardH8085 all the wordsH561 of the LORDH3068 which he spakeH1696 unto us: it shall be therefore a witnessH5713 unto you, lest ye denyH3584 your GodH430.
So JoshuaH3091 let the peopleH5971 departH7971, every manH376 unto his inheritanceH5159.
And it came to pass afterH310 these thingsH1697, that JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126, the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068, diedH4191, being an hundredH3967 and tenH6235 yearsH8141 oldH1121.
WhereforeG1352 I willG272 notG3756 be negligentG272 to putG5279 youG5209 alwaysG104 in remembranceG5279 ofG4012 these thingsG5130, thoughG2539 ye knowG1492 them, andG2532 be establishedG4741 inG1722 the presentG3918 truthG225.
Furthermore DavidH1732 the kingH4428 saidH559 unto all the congregationH6951, SolomonH8010 my sonH1121, whom aloneH259 GodH430 hath chosenH977, is yet youngH5288 and tenderH7390, and the workH4399 is greatH1419: for the palaceH1002 is not for manH120, but for the LORDH3068 GodH430.
Now I have preparedH3559 with all my mightH3581 for the houseH1004 of my GodH430 the goldH2091 for things to be made of goldH2091, and the silverH3701 for things of silverH3701, and the brassH5178 for things of brassH5178, the ironH1270 for things of ironH1270, and woodH6086 for things of woodH6086; onyxH7718 stonesH68, and stones to be setH4394, glisteringH6320 stonesH68, and of divers coloursH7553, and all manner of preciousH3368 stonesH68, and marbleH7893 stonesH68 in abundanceH7230.
Moreover, because I have set my affectionH7521 to the houseH1004 of my GodH430, I haveH3426 of mine own proper goodH5459, of goldH2091 and silverH3701, which I have givenH5414 to the houseH1004 of my GodH430, over and aboveH4605 all that I have preparedH3559 for the holyH6944 houseH1004,
Even threeH7969 thousandH505 talentsH3603 of goldH2091, of the goldH2091 of OphirH211, and sevenH7651 thousandH505 talentsH3603 of refinedH2212 silverH3701, to overlayH2902 the wallsH7023 of the housesH1004 withal:
The goldH2091 for things of goldH2091, and the silverH3701 for things of silverH3701, and for all manner of workH4399 to be made by the handsH3027 of artificersH2796. And who then is willingH5068 to consecrateH4390 his serviceH3027 this dayH3117 unto the LORDH3068? {consecrate his service: Heb. fill his hand}
Then the chiefH8269 of the fathersH1 and princesH8269 of the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, and the captainsH8269 of thousandsH505 and of hundredsH3967, with the rulersH8269 of the king'sH4428 workH4399, offered willinglyH5068,
And gaveH5414 for the serviceH5656 of the houseH1004 of GodH430 of goldH2091 fiveH2568 thousandH505 talentsH3603 and ten thousandH7239 dramsH150, and of silverH3701 tenH6235 thousandH505 talentsH3603, and of brassH5178 eighteenH8083+H7239 thousandH505 talentsH3603, and one hundredH3967 thousandH505 talentsH3603 of ironH1270.
And they with whom precious stonesH68 were foundH4672 gaveH5414 them to the treasureH214 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, by the handH3027 of JehielH3171 the GershoniteH1649.
Then the peopleH5971 rejoicedH8055, for that they offered willinglyH5068, because with perfectH8003 heartH3820 they offered willinglyH5068 to the LORDH3068: and DavidH1732 the kingH4428 also rejoicedH8055 with greatH1419 joyH8057.
Wherefore DavidH1732 blessedH1288 the LORDH3068 beforeH5869 all the congregationH6951: and DavidH1732 saidH559, BlessedH1288 be thou, LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 our fatherH1, forH5704 everH5769 and everH5769.
Thine, O LORDH3068, is the greatnessH1420, and the powerH1369, and the gloryH8597, and the victoryH5331, and the majestyH1935: for all that is in the heavenH8064 and in the earthH776 is thine; thine is the kingdomH4467, O LORDH3068, and thou art exaltedH4984 as headH7218 above all.
Both richesH6239 and honourH3519 come of theeH6440, and thou reignestH4910 over all; and in thine handH3027 is powerH3581 and mightH1369; and in thine handH3027 it is to make greatH1431, and to give strengthH2388 unto all.
Now therefore, our GodH430, we thankH3034 thee, and praiseH1984 thy gloriousH8597 nameH8034.
But who am I, and what is my peopleH5971, that we should beH6113 ableH3581 to offer so willinglyH5068 after this sort? for all things come of thee, and of thine ownH3027 have we givenH5414 thee. {be able: Heb. retain, or, obtain strength} {of thine…: Heb. of thine hand}
For we are strangersH1616 beforeH6440 thee, and sojournersH8453, as were all our fathersH1: our daysH3117 on the earthH776 are as a shadowH6738, and there is none abidingH4723. {abiding: Heb. expectation}
O LORDH3068 our GodH430, all this storeH1995 that we have preparedH3559 to buildH1129 thee an houseH1004 for thine holyH6944 nameH8034 cometh of thine handH3027, and is all thine own.
I knowH3045 also, my GodH430, that thou triestH974 the heartH3824, and hast pleasureH7521 in uprightnessH3476. As for me, in the uprightnessH4339 of mine heartH3824 I have willingly offeredH5068 all these things: and now have I seenH7200 with joyH8057 thy peopleH5971, which are presentH4672 here, to offer willinglyH5068 unto thee. {present: Heb. found}
O LORDH3068 GodH430 of AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and of IsraelH3478, our fathersH1, keepH8104 this for everH5769 in the imaginationH3336 of the thoughtsH4284 of the heartH3824 of thy peopleH5971, and prepareH3559 their heartH3824 unto thee: {prepare: or, stablish}
And giveH5414 unto SolomonH8010 my sonH1121 a perfectH8003 heartH3824, to keepH8104 thy commandmentsH4687, thy testimoniesH5715, and thy statutesH2706, and to doH6213 all these things, and to buildH1129 the palaceH1002, for the which I have made provisionH3559.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 to all the congregationH6951, Now blessH1288 the LORDH3068 your GodH430. And all the congregationH6951 blessedH1288 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1, and bowed down their headsH6915, and worshippedH7812 the LORDH3068, and the kingH4428.
Now also whenH5704 I am oldH2209 and grayheadedH7872, O GodH430, forsakeH5800 me not; until I have shewedH5046 thy strengthH2220 unto this generationH1755, and thy powerH1369 to every one that is to comeH935. {when…: Heb. unto old age and gray hairs} {thy strength: Heb. thine arm}
AndG2532 the thingsG3739 that thou hast heardG191 ofG3844 meG1700 amongG1223 manyG4183 witnessesG3144, the sameG5023 commit thouG3908 to faithfulG4103 menG444, whoG3748 shall beG2071 ableG2425 to teachG1321 othersG2087 alsoG2532. {among: or, by}
By faithG4102 AbelG6 offeredG4374 unto GodG2316 a more excellentG4119 sacrificeG2378 thanG3844 CainG2535, byG1223 whichG3739 he obtained witnessG3140 that he wasG1511 righteousG1342, GodG2316 testifyingG3140 ofG1909 hisG846 giftsG1435: andG2532 byG1223 itG846 he being deadG599 yetG2089 speakethG2980. {yet…: or, is yet spoken of}
