And it came to pass after manyH7227 daysH3117, that the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to ElijahH452 in the thirdH7992 yearH8141, sayingH559, GoH3212, shewH7200 thyself unto AhabH256; and I will sendH5414 rainH4306 uponH6440 the earthH127.
And ElijahH452 wentH3212 to shewH7200 himself unto AhabH256. And there was a soreH2389 famineH7458 in SamariaH8111.
And AhabH256 calledH7121 ObadiahH5662, which was the governor of his houseH1004. (Now ObadiahH5662 fearedH3373 the LORDH3068 greatlyH3966: {Obadiah: Heb. Obadiahu} {the governor…: Heb. over his house}
For it was so, when JezebelH348 cut offH3772 the prophetsH5030 of the LORDH3068, that ObadiahH5662 tookH3947 an hundredH3967 prophetsH5030, and hidH2244 them by fiftyH376+H2572 in a caveH4631, and fedH3557 them with breadH3899 and waterH4325.) {Jezebel: Heb. Izebel}
And AhabH256 saidH559 unto ObadiahH5662, GoH3212 into the landH776, unto all fountainsH4599 of waterH4325, and unto all brooksH5158: peradventureH194 we may findH4672 grassH2682 to saveH2421 the horsesH5483 and mulesH6505 aliveH2421, that we loseH3772 not all the beastsH929. {that…: Heb. that we cut not off ourselves from the beasts}
So they dividedH2505 the landH776 between them to pass throughoutH5674 it: AhabH256 wentH1980 oneH259 wayH1870 by himself, and ObadiahH5662 wentH1980 anotherH259 wayH1870 by himself.
And as ObadiahH5662 was in the wayH1870, behold, ElijahH452 metH7125 him: and he knewH5234 him, and fellH5307 on his faceH6440, and saidH559, Art thou that my lordH113 ElijahH452?
And he answeredH559 him, I am: goH3212, tellH559 thy lordH113, Behold, ElijahH452 is here.
And he saidH559, What have I sinnedH2398, that thou wouldest deliverH5414 thy servantH5650 into the handH3027 of AhabH256, to slayH4191 me?
As the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 livethH2416, there is noH3426 nationH1471 or kingdomH4467, whitherH834 my lordH113 hath not sentH7971 to seekH1245 thee: and when they saidH559, He is not there; he took an oathH7650 of the kingdomH4467 and nationH1471, that they foundH4672 thee not.
And now thou sayestH559, GoH3212, tellH559 thy lordH113, Behold, ElijahH452 is here.
And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am goneH3212 from thee, that the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 shall carryH5375 thee whither I knowH3045 not; and so when I comeH935 and tellH5046 AhabH256, and he cannot findH4672 thee, he shall slayH2026 me: but I thy servantH5650 fearH3372 the LORDH3068 from my youthH5271.
Was it not toldH5046 my lordH113 what I didH6213 when JezebelH348 slewH2026 the prophetsH5030 of the LORDH3068, how I hidH2244 an hundredH3967 menH376 of the LORD'SH3068 prophetsH5030 by fiftyH2572 in a caveH4631, and fedH3557 them with breadH3899 and waterH4325?
And now thou sayestH559, GoH3212, tellH559 thy lordH113, Behold, ElijahH452 is here: and he shall slayH2026 me.
And ElijahH452 saidH559, As the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 livethH2416, beforeH6440 whom I standH5975, I will surely shewH7200 myself unto him to dayH3117.
So ObadiahH5662 wentH3212 to meetH7125 AhabH256, and toldH5046 him: and AhabH256 wentH3212 to meetH7125 ElijahH452.
And it came to pass, when AhabH256 sawH7200 ElijahH452, that AhabH256 saidH559 unto him, Art thou he that troublethH5916 IsraelH3478?
And he answeredH559, I have not troubledH5916 IsraelH3478; but thou, and thy father'sH1 houseH1004, in that ye have forsakenH5800 the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068, and thou hast followedH3212+H310 BaalimH1168.
Now therefore sendH7971, and gatherH6908 to me all IsraelH3478 unto mountH2022 CarmelH3760, and the prophetsH5030 of BaalH1168 fourH702 hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572, and the prophetsH5030 of the grovesH842 fourH702 hundredH3967, which eatH398 at Jezebel'sH348 tableH7979.
So AhabH256 sentH7971 unto all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and gatheredH6908 the prophetsH5030 togetherH6908 unto mountH2022 CarmelH3760.
And ElijahH452 cameH5066 unto all the peopleH5971, and saidH559, How longH5921 haltH6452 ye between twoH8147 opinionsH5587? if the LORDH3068 be GodH430, follow him: but if BaalH1168, then followH3212+H310 him. And the peopleH5971 answeredH6030 him not a wordH1697. {opinions: or, thoughts}
Then saidH559 ElijahH452 unto the peopleH5971, I, even I only, remainH3498 a prophetH5030 of the LORDH3068; but Baal'sH1168 prophetsH5030 are fourH702 hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572 menH376.
Let them therefore giveH5414 us twoH8147 bullocksH6499; and let them chooseH977 oneH259 bullockH6499 for themselves, and cut it in piecesH5408, and layH7760 it on woodH6086, and putH7760 no fireH784 under: and I will dressH6213 the otherH259 bullockH6499, and layH5414 it on woodH6086, and putH7760 no fireH784 under:
And callH7121 ye on the nameH8034 of your godsH430, and I will callH7121 on the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068: and the GodH430 that answerethH6030 by fireH784, let him be GodH430. And all the peopleH5971 answeredH6030 and saidH559, It is wellH2896 spokenH1697. {It is…: Heb. The word is good}
And ElijahH452 saidH559 unto the prophetsH5030 of BaalH1168, ChooseH977 you oneH259 bullockH6499 for yourselves, and dressH6213 it firstH7223; for ye are manyH7227; and callH7121 on the nameH8034 of your godsH430, but putH7760 no fireH784 under.
And they tookH3947 the bullockH6499 which was givenH5414 them, and they dressedH6213 it, and calledH7121 on the nameH8034 of BaalH1168 from morningH1242 even until noonH6672, sayingH559, O BaalH1168, hearH6030 us. But there was noH369 voiceH6963, nor any that answeredH6030. And they leapedH6452 upon the altarH4196 which was madeH6213. {hear: or, answer} {answered: or, heard} {leaped…: or, leaped up and down at the altar}
And it came to pass at noonH6672, that ElijahH452 mockedH2048 them, and saidH559, CryH7121 aloudH1419+H6963: for he is a godH430; either he is talkingH7879, or he is pursuingH7873, or he is in a journeyH1870, or peradventureH194 he sleepethH3463, and must be awakedH3364. {aloud: Heb. with a great voice} {he is talking: or, he meditateth} {is pursuing: Heb. hath a pursuit}
And they criedH7121 aloudH6963+H1419, and cutH1413 themselves after their mannerH4941 with knivesH2719 and lancetsH7420, till the bloodH1818 gushed outH8210 upon them. {the blood…: Heb. poured out blood upon them}
And it came to pass, when middayH6672 was pastH5674, and they prophesiedH5012 until the time of the offeringH5927 of the evening sacrificeH4503, that there was neither voiceH6963, nor any to answerH6030, nor any that regardedH7182. {offering: Heb. ascending} {that regarded: Heb. attention}
And ElijahH452 saidH559 unto all the peopleH5971, Come nearH5066 unto me. And all the peopleH5971 came nearH5066 unto him. And he repairedH7495 the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068 that was broken downH2040.
And ElijahH452 tookH3947 twelveH8147+H6240 stonesH68, according to the numberH4557 of the tribesH7626 of the sonsH1121 of JacobH3290, unto whom the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came, sayingH559, IsraelH3478 shall be thy nameH8034:
And with the stonesH68 he builtH1129 an altarH4196 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068: and he madeH6213 a trenchH8585 aboutH5439 the altarH4196, as great as would containH1004 two measuresH5429 of seedH2233.
And he putH6186 the woodH6086 in orderH6186, and cutH5408 the bullockH6499 in pieces, and laidH7760 him on the woodH6086, and saidH559, FillH4390 fourH702 barrelsH3537 with waterH4325, and pourH3332 it on the burnt sacrificeH5930, and on the woodH6086.
And he saidH559, Do it the second timeH8138. And they did it the second timeH8138. And he saidH559, Do it the third timeH8027. And they did it the third timeH8027.
And the waterH4325 ranH3212 round aboutH5439 the altarH4196; and he filledH4390 the trenchH8585 also with waterH4325. {ran: Heb. went}
And it came to pass at the time of the offeringH5927 of the evening sacrificeH4503, that ElijahH452 the prophetH5030 came nearH5066, and saidH559, LORDH3068 GodH430 of AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and of IsraelH3478, let it be knownH3045 this dayH3117 that thou art GodH430 in IsraelH3478, and that I am thy servantH5650, and that I have doneH6213 all these things at thy wordH1697.
HearH6030 me, O LORDH3068, hearH6030 me, that this peopleH5971 may knowH3045 that thou art the LORDH3068 GodH430, and that thou hast turnedH5437 their heartH3820 backH5437 againH322.
Then the fireH784 of the LORDH3068 fellH5307, and consumedH398 the burnt sacrificeH5930, and the woodH6086, and the stonesH68, and the dustH6083, and licked upH3897 the waterH4325 that was in the trenchH8585.
And when all the peopleH5971 sawH7200 it, they fellH5307 on their facesH6440: and they saidH559, The LORDH3068, he is the GodH430; the LORDH3068, he is the GodH430.
And ElijahH452 saidH559 unto them, TakeH8610 the prophetsH5030 of BaalH1168; let not oneH376 of them escapeH4422. And they tookH8610 them: and ElijahH452 brought them downH3381 to the brookH5158 KishonH7028, and slewH7819 them there. {Take: or, Apprehend}
And ElijahH452 saidH559 unto AhabH256, Get thee upH5927, eatH398 and drinkH8354; for there is a soundH6963 of abundanceH1995 of rainH1653. {a sound…: or, a sound of a noise of rain}
So AhabH256 went upH5927 to eatH398 and to drinkH8354. And ElijahH452 went upH5927 to the topH7218 of CarmelH3760; and he cast himself downH1457 upon the earthH776, and putH7760 his faceH6440 between his kneesH1290,
And saidH559 to his servantH5288, Go upH5927 now, lookH5027 towardH1870 the seaH3220. And he went upH5927, and lookedH5027, and saidH559, There is nothingH3972. And he saidH559, Go againH7725 sevenH7651 timesH6471.
And it came to pass at the seventh timeH7637, that he saidH559, Behold, there arisethH5927 a littleH6996 cloudH5645 out of the seaH3220, like a man'sH376 handH3709. And he saidH559, Go upH5927, sayH559 unto AhabH256, PrepareH631 thy chariot, and get thee downH3381, that the rainH1653 stopH6113 thee not. {Prepare: Heb. Tie, or, Bind}
And it came to pass in the mean whileH3541, that the heavenH8064 was blackH6937 with cloudsH5645 and windH7307, and there was a greatH1419 rainH1653. And AhabH256 rodeH7392, and wentH3212 to JezreelH3157.
And the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 was on ElijahH452; and he girded upH8151 his loinsH4975, and ranH7323 beforeH6440 AhabH256 to the entranceH935 of JezreelH3157. {to the…: Heb. till thou come to Jezreel}
Greet yeG782 one anotherG240 withG1722 a kissG5370 of charityG26. PeaceG1515 be with youG5213 allG3956 that are inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424. AmenG281.
The fearH3374 of the LORDH3068 is the beginningH8462 of wisdomH2451: and the knowledgeH1847 of the holyH6918 is understandingH998.
The fearH3374 of the LORDH3068 is to hateH8130 evilH7451: prideH1344, and arrogancyH1347, and the evilH7451 wayH1870, and the frowardH8419 mouthH6310, do I hateH8130.
Be not wiseH2450 in thine own eyesH5869: fearH3372 the LORDH3068, and departH5493 from evilH7451.
I will instructH7919 thee and teachH3384 thee in the wayH1870 whichH2098 thou shalt goH3212: I will guideH3289 thee with mine eyeH5869. {guide…: Heb. counsel thee, mine eye shall be upon thee}
Greet yeG782 one anotherG240 withG1722 a kissG5370 of charityG26. PeaceG1515 be with youG5213 allG3956 that are inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424. AmenG281.
NowG1161 we commandG3853 youG5213, brethrenG80, inG1722 the nameG3686 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, that ye withdrawG4724 yourselvesG5209 fromG575 everyG3956 brotherG80 that walkethG4043 disorderlyG814, andG2532 notG3361 afterG2596 the traditionG3862 whichG3739 he receivedG3880 ofG3844 usG2257.
AndG1161 he wentG1525 intoG1519 the synagogueG4864, and spake boldlyG3955 for the spaceG1909 of threeG5140 monthsG3376, disputingG1256 andG2532 persuadingG3982 the things concerningG4012 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316.
ButG1161 whenG5613 diversG5100 were hardenedG4645, andG2532 believed notG544, but spake evilG2551 of that wayG3598 beforeG1799 the multitudeG4128, he departedG868 fromG575 themG846, and separatedG873 the disciplesG3101, disputingG1256 dailyG2596+G2250 inG1722 the schoolG4981 of oneG5100 TyrannusG5181.
ButG1161 nowG3570 I have writtenG1125 unto youG5213 notG3361 to keep companyG4874, ifG1437 any manG5100 that is calledG3687 a brotherG80 beG2228 a fornicatorG4205, orG2228 covetousG4123, orG2228 an idolaterG1496, orG2228 a railerG3060, orG2228 a drunkardG3183, orG2228 an extortionerG727; with such an oneG5108 no notG3366 to eatG4906.
ForG1063 whatG5101 have IG3427 to do to judgeG2919 them alsoG2532 that are withoutG1854? doG2919 notG3780 yeG5210 judgeG2919 them that are withinG2080?
ButG1161 them that are withoutG1854 GodG2316 judgethG2919. ThereforeG2532 put awayG1808 fromG1537 among yourselvesG5216 thatG846 wicked personG4190.
ThoughG1437 I speakG2980 with the tonguesG1100 of menG444 andG2532 of angelsG32, andG1161 haveG2192 notG3361 charityG26, I am becomeG1096 as soundingG2278 brassG5475, orG2228 a tinklingG214 cymbalG2950.
AndG2532 thoughG1437 I haveG2192 the gift of prophecyG4394, andG2532 understandG1492 allG3956 mysteriesG3466, andG2532 allG3956 knowledgeG1108; andG2532 thoughG1437 I haveG2192 allG3956 faithG4102, soG5620 that I could removeG3179 mountainsG3735, andG1161 haveG2192 notG3361 charityG26, I amG1510 nothingG3762.
AndG2532 thoughG1437 I bestowG5595 allG3956 myG3450 goodsG5224 to feedG5595 the poor, andG2532 thoughG1437 I giveG3860 myG3450 bodyG4983 toG2443 be burnedG2545, andG1161 haveG2192 notG3361 charityG26, it profiteth meG5623 nothingG3762.
CharityG26 suffereth longG3114, and is kindG5541; charityG26 enviethG2206 notG3756; charityG26 vauntethG4068 notG3756 itselfG4068, isG5448 notG3756 puffed upG5448, {vaunteth…: or, is not rash}
DothG807 notG3756 behave itself unseemlyG807, seekethG2212 notG3756 her ownG1438, isG3947 notG3756 easily provokedG3947, thinkethG3049 noG3756 evilG2556;
RejoicethG5463 notG3756 inG1909 iniquityG93, butG1161 rejoicethG4796 in the truthG225; {in the truth: or, with the truth}
BearethG4722 all thingsG3956, believethG4100 all thingsG3956, hopethG1679 all thingsG3956, endurethG5278 all thingsG3956.
CharityG26 neverG3763 failethG1601: butG1161 whetherG1535 there be propheciesG4394, they shall failG2673; whetherG1535 there be tonguesG1100, they shall ceaseG3973; whetherG1535 there be knowledgeG1108, it shall vanish awayG2673. {fail: Gr. vanish away}
ForG1063 we knowG1097 inG1537 partG3313, andG2532 we prophesyG4395 inG1537 partG3313.
ButG1161 whenG3752 that which is perfectG5046 is comeG2064, thenG5119 that which is inG1537 partG3313 shall be done awayG2673. {done away: Gr. vanish away}
WhenG3753 I wasG2252 a childG3516, I spakeG2980 asG5613 a childG3516, I understoodG5426 asG5613 a childG3516, I thoughtG3049 asG5613 a childG3516: butG1161 whenG3753 I becameG1096 a manG435, I put awayG2673 childish thingsG3516. {thought: or, reasoned} {put away: Gr. vanish away}
ForG1063 nowG737 we seeG991 throughG1223 a glassG2072, darklyG1722+G135; butG1161 thenG5119 faceG4383 toG4314 faceG4383: nowG737 I knowG1097 inG1537 partG3313; butG1161 thenG5119 shall I knowG1921 even asG2531 alsoG2532 I am knownG1921. {darkly: Gr. in a riddle}
AndG1161 nowG3570 abidethG3306 faithG4102, hopeG1680, charityG26, theseG5023 threeG5140; butG1161 the greatestG3187 of theseG5130 is charityG26.
The fearH3374 of the LORDH3068 is the beginningH7225 of wisdomH2451: a goodH2896 understandingH7922 have all they that doH6213 his commandments: his praiseH8416 endurethH5975 for everH5703. {a good…: or, good success} {his commandments: Heb. them}
The fearH3374 of the LORDH3068 is the beginningH7225 of knowledgeH1847: but foolsH191 despiseH936 wisdomH2451 and instructionH4148. {the beginning: or, the principal part}
ForG1063 otherG243 foundationG2310 canG1410 no manG3762 layG5087 thanG3844 that is laidG2749, whichG3739 isG2076 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
For I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselvesH6942, and ye shall be holyH6918; for I am holyH6918: neither shall ye defileH2930 yourselvesH5315 with any manner of creeping thingH8318 that creepethH7430 upon the earthH776.
For I am the LORDH3068 that bringethH5927 you up out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, to be your GodH430: ye shall therefore be holyH6918, for I am holyH6918.
Ye shall keepH8104 my statutesH2708. Thou shalt not let thy cattleH929 genderH7250 with a diverse kindH3610: thou shalt not sowH2232 thy fieldH7704 with mingled seedH3610: neither shall a garmentH899 mingledH3610 of linen and woollenH8162 comeH5927 upon thee.
Lest thou makeH3772 a covenantH1285 with the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776, and they go a whoringH2181 afterH310 their godsH430, and do sacrificeH2076 unto their godsH430, and one callH7121 thee, and thou eatH398 of his sacrificeH2077;
And thou takeH3947 of their daughtersH1323 unto thy sonsH1121, and their daughtersH1323 go a whoringH2181 afterH310 their godsH430, and makeH2181 thy sonsH1121 go a whoringH2181 afterH310 their godsH430.
When the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 shall bringH935 thee into the landH776 whither thou goestH935 to possessH3423 it, and hath cast outH5394 manyH7227 nationsH1471 beforeH6440 thee, the HittitesH2850, and the GirgashitesH1622, and the AmoritesH567, and the CanaanitesH3669, and the PerizzitesH6522, and the HivitesH2340, and the JebusitesH2983, sevenH7651 nationsH1471 greaterH7227 and mightierH6099 than thou;
And when the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 shall deliverH5414 them beforeH6440 thee; thou shalt smiteH5221 them, and utterlyH2763 destroyH2763 them; thou shalt makeH3772 no covenantH1285 with them, nor shew mercyH2603 unto them:
Neither shalt thou make marriagesH2859 with them; thy daughterH1323 thou shalt not giveH5414 unto his sonH1121, nor his daughterH1323 shalt thou takeH3947 unto thy sonH1121.
For they will turn awayH5493 thy sonH1121 from followingH310 me, that they may serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430: so will the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 be kindledH2734 against you, and destroyH8045 thee suddenlyH4118.
But thus shall ye dealH6213 with them; ye shall destroyH5422 their altarsH4196, and break downH7665 their imagesH4676, and cut downH1438 their grovesH842, and burnH8313 their graven imagesH6456 with fireH784. {their images: Heb. their statues, or, pillars}
For thou art an holyH6918 peopleH5971 unto the LORDH3068 thy GodH430: the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath chosenH977 thee to be a specialH5459 peopleH5971 unto himself, above all peopleH5971 that are upon the faceH6440 of the earthH127.
The LORDH3068 did not set his loveH2836 upon you, nor chooseH977 you, because ye were moreH7230 in number than any peopleH5971; for ye were the fewestH4592 of all peopleH5971:
But because the LORDH3068 lovedH160 you, and because he would keepH8104 the oathH7621 which he had swornH7650 unto your fathersH1, hath the LORDH3068 brought you outH3318 with a mightyH2389 handH3027, and redeemedH6299 you out of the houseH1004 of bondmenH5650, from the handH3027 of PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714.
Thou shalt not sowH2232 thy vineyardH3754 with divers seedsH3610: lest the fruitH4395 of thy seedH2233 which thou hast sownH2232, and the fruitH8393 of thy vineyardH3754, be defiledH6942. {fruit of thy seed: Heb. fulness of the seed}
Thou shalt not plowH2790 with an oxH7794 and an assH2543 togetherH3162.
Thou shalt not wearH3847 a garment of divers sortsH8162, as of woollenH6785 and linenH6593 togetherH3162.
And ElijahH452 cameH5066 unto all the peopleH5971, and saidH559, How longH5921 haltH6452 ye between twoH8147 opinionsH5587? if the LORDH3068 be GodH430, follow him: but if BaalH1168, then followH3212+H310 him. And the peopleH5971 answeredH6030 him not a wordH1697. {opinions: or, thoughts}
Then saidH559 ElijahH452 unto the peopleH5971, I, even I only, remainH3498 a prophetH5030 of the LORDH3068; but Baal'sH1168 prophetsH5030 are fourH702 hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572 menH376.
Let them therefore giveH5414 us twoH8147 bullocksH6499; and let them chooseH977 oneH259 bullockH6499 for themselves, and cut it in piecesH5408, and layH7760 it on woodH6086, and putH7760 no fireH784 under: and I will dressH6213 the otherH259 bullockH6499, and layH5414 it on woodH6086, and putH7760 no fireH784 under:
And callH7121 ye on the nameH8034 of your godsH430, and I will callH7121 on the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068: and the GodH430 that answerethH6030 by fireH784, let him be GodH430. And all the peopleH5971 answeredH6030 and saidH559, It is wellH2896 spokenH1697. {It is…: Heb. The word is good}
And ElijahH452 saidH559 unto the prophetsH5030 of BaalH1168, ChooseH977 you oneH259 bullockH6499 for yourselves, and dressH6213 it firstH7223; for ye are manyH7227; and callH7121 on the nameH8034 of your godsH430, but putH7760 no fireH784 under.
And they tookH3947 the bullockH6499 which was givenH5414 them, and they dressedH6213 it, and calledH7121 on the nameH8034 of BaalH1168 from morningH1242 even until noonH6672, sayingH559, O BaalH1168, hearH6030 us. But there was noH369 voiceH6963, nor any that answeredH6030. And they leapedH6452 upon the altarH4196 which was madeH6213. {hear: or, answer} {answered: or, heard} {leaped…: or, leaped up and down at the altar}
And it came to pass at noonH6672, that ElijahH452 mockedH2048 them, and saidH559, CryH7121 aloudH1419+H6963: for he is a godH430; either he is talkingH7879, or he is pursuingH7873, or he is in a journeyH1870, or peradventureH194 he sleepethH3463, and must be awakedH3364. {aloud: Heb. with a great voice} {he is talking: or, he meditateth} {is pursuing: Heb. hath a pursuit}
And they criedH7121 aloudH6963+H1419, and cutH1413 themselves after their mannerH4941 with knivesH2719 and lancetsH7420, till the bloodH1818 gushed outH8210 upon them. {the blood…: Heb. poured out blood upon them}
And it came to pass, when middayH6672 was pastH5674, and they prophesiedH5012 until the time of the offeringH5927 of the evening sacrificeH4503, that there was neither voiceH6963, nor any to answerH6030, nor any that regardedH7182. {offering: Heb. ascending} {that regarded: Heb. attention}
And ElijahH452 saidH559 unto all the peopleH5971, Come nearH5066 unto me. And all the peopleH5971 came nearH5066 unto him. And he repairedH7495 the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068 that was broken downH2040.
And ElijahH452 tookH3947 twelveH8147+H6240 stonesH68, according to the numberH4557 of the tribesH7626 of the sonsH1121 of JacobH3290, unto whom the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came, sayingH559, IsraelH3478 shall be thy nameH8034:
And with the stonesH68 he builtH1129 an altarH4196 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068: and he madeH6213 a trenchH8585 aboutH5439 the altarH4196, as great as would containH1004 two measuresH5429 of seedH2233.
And he putH6186 the woodH6086 in orderH6186, and cutH5408 the bullockH6499 in pieces, and laidH7760 him on the woodH6086, and saidH559, FillH4390 fourH702 barrelsH3537 with waterH4325, and pourH3332 it on the burnt sacrificeH5930, and on the woodH6086.
And he saidH559, Do it the second timeH8138. And they did it the second timeH8138. And he saidH559, Do it the third timeH8027. And they did it the third timeH8027.
And the waterH4325 ranH3212 round aboutH5439 the altarH4196; and he filledH4390 the trenchH8585 also with waterH4325. {ran: Heb. went}
And it came to pass at the time of the offeringH5927 of the evening sacrificeH4503, that ElijahH452 the prophetH5030 came nearH5066, and saidH559, LORDH3068 GodH430 of AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and of IsraelH3478, let it be knownH3045 this dayH3117 that thou art GodH430 in IsraelH3478, and that I am thy servantH5650, and that I have doneH6213 all these things at thy wordH1697.
HearH6030 me, O LORDH3068, hearH6030 me, that this peopleH5971 may knowH3045 that thou art the LORDH3068 GodH430, and that thou hast turnedH5437 their heartH3820 backH5437 againH322.
Then the fireH784 of the LORDH3068 fellH5307, and consumedH398 the burnt sacrificeH5930, and the woodH6086, and the stonesH68, and the dustH6083, and licked upH3897 the waterH4325 that was in the trenchH8585.
And when all the peopleH5971 sawH7200 it, they fellH5307 on their facesH6440: and they saidH559, The LORDH3068, he is the GodH430; the LORDH3068, he is the GodH430.
And ElijahH452 saidH559 unto them, TakeH8610 the prophetsH5030 of BaalH1168; let not oneH376 of them escapeH4422. And they tookH8610 them: and ElijahH452 brought them downH3381 to the brookH5158 KishonH7028, and slewH7819 them there. {Take: or, Apprehend}
And MosesH4872 turnedH6437, and went downH3381 from the mountH2022, and the twoH8147 tablesH3871 of the testimonyH5715 were in his handH3027: the tablesH3871 were writtenH3789 on bothH8147 their sidesH5676; on the one side and on the other were they writtenH3789.
And the tablesH3871 were the workH4639 of GodH430, and the writingH4385 was the writingH4385 of GodH430, gravenH2801 upon the tablesH3871.
And when JoshuaH3091 heardH8085 the noiseH6963 of the peopleH5971 as they shoutedH7452, he saidH559 unto MosesH4872, There is a noiseH6963 of warH4421 in the campH4264.
And he saidH559, It is not the voiceH6963 of them that shoutH6030 for masteryH1369, neither is it the voiceH6963 of them that cryH6030 for being overcomeH2476: but the noiseH6963 of them that singH6031 do I hearH8085. {being…: Heb. weakness}
And it came to pass, as soon as he came nighH7126 unto the campH4264, that he sawH7200 the calfH5695, and the dancingH4246: and Moses'H4872 angerH639 waxed hotH2734, and he castH7993 the tablesH3871 out of his handsH3027, and brakeH7665 them beneathH8478 the mountH2022.
And he tookH3947 the calfH5695 which they had madeH6213, and burntH8313 it in the fireH784, and groundH2912 it to powderH1854, and strawedH2219 it uponH6440 the waterH4325, and made the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 drinkH8248 of it.
And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto AaronH175, What didH6213 this peopleH5971 unto thee, that thou hast broughtH935 so greatH1419 a sinH2401 upon them?
And AaronH175 saidH559, Let not the angerH639 of my lordH113 wax hotH2734: thou knowestH3045 the peopleH5971, that they are set on mischiefH7451.
For they saidH559 unto me, MakeH6213 us godsH430, which shall goH3212 beforeH6440 us: for as for this MosesH4872, the manH376 that brought us upH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, we wotH3045 not what is become of him.
And I saidH559 unto them, Whosoever hath any goldH2091, let them breakH6561 it off. So they gaveH5414 it me: then I castH7993 it into the fireH784, and there came outH3318 this calfH5695.
And when MosesH4872 sawH7200 that the peopleH5971 were nakedH6544; (for AaronH175 had made them nakedH6544 unto their shameH8103 among their enemiesH6965:) {their enemies: Heb. those that rose up against them}
Then MosesH4872 stoodH5975 in the gateH8179 of the campH4264, and saidH559, Who is on the LORD'SH3068 side? let him come unto me. And all the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878 gatheredH622 themselves together unto him.
And he saidH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, PutH7760 every manH376 his swordH2719 by his sideH3409, and goH5674 in and outH7725 from gateH8179 to gateH8179 throughout the campH4264, and slayH2026 every manH376 his brotherH251, and every manH376 his companionH7453, and every manH376 his neighbourH7138.
And the childrenH1121 of LeviH3878 didH6213 according to the wordH1697 of MosesH4872: and there fellH5307 of the peopleH5971 that dayH3117 about threeH7969 thousandH505 menH376.
For MosesH4872 had saidH559, Consecrate yourselvesH4390+H3027 to dayH3117 to the LORDH3068, evenH3588 every manH376 upon his sonH1121, and upon his brotherH251; that he may bestowH5414 upon you a blessingH1293 this dayH3117. {For Moses…: or, And Moses said, Consecrate yourselves to day to the LORD, because every man hath been against his brother, etc} {Consecrate…: Heb. Fill your hands}
AndG2532 MosesG3475 verilyG3303 was faithfulG4103 inG1722 allG3650 hisG846 houseG3624, asG5613 a servantG2324, forG1519 a testimonyG3142 of those things which were to be spoken afterG2980;
WhoG3739 againstG3844 hopeG1680 believedG4100 inG1909 hopeG1680, thatG1519 heG846 might becomeG1096 the fatherG3962 of manyG4183 nationsG1484; accordingG2596 to that which was spokenG2046, SoG3779 shallG2071 thyG4675 seedG4690 beG2071.
AndG2532 being notG3361 weakG770 in faithG4102, he consideredG2657 notG3756 his ownG1438 bodyG4983 nowG2235 deadG3499, when he wasG5225 aboutG4225 an hundred years oldG1541, neither yetG2532 the deadnessG3500 of Sarah'sG4564 wombG3388:
He staggeredG1252 notG3756 atG1519 the promiseG1860 of GodG2316 through unbeliefG570; butG235 was strongG1743 in faithG4102, givingG1325 gloryG1391 to GodG2316;
AndG2532 being fully persuadedG4135 thatG3754, whatG3739 he had promisedG1861, he wasG2076 ableG1415 alsoG2532 to performG4160.
AndG2532 thereforeG1352 it was imputedG3049 to himG846 forG1519 righteousnessG1343.
The sameG3778 cameG2064 forG1519 a witnessG3141, toG2443 bear witnessG3140 ofG4012 the LightG5457, thatG2443 allG3956 men throughG1223 himG846 might believeG4100.
NowG1161 we commandG3853 youG5213, brethrenG80, inG1722 the nameG3686 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, that ye withdrawG4724 yourselvesG5209 fromG575 everyG3956 brotherG80 that walkethG4043 disorderlyG814, andG2532 notG3361 afterG2596 the traditionG3862 whichG3739 he receivedG3880 ofG3844 usG2257.
ByG1722 thisG5129 we knowG1097 thatG3754 we loveG25 the childrenG5043 of GodG2316, whenG3752 we loveG25 GodG2316, andG2532 keepG5083 hisG846 commandmentsG1785.
ForG1063 thisG3778 isG2076 the loveG26 of GodG2316, thatG2443 we keepG5083 hisG846 commandmentsG1785: andG2532 hisG846 commandmentsG1785 areG1526 notG3756 grievousG926.
Be yeG1096 notG3361 unequally yoked togetherG2086 with unbelieversG571: forG1063 whatG5101 fellowshipG3352 hath righteousnessG1343 withG2532 unrighteousnessG458? andG1161 whatG5101 communionG2842 hath lightG5457 withG4314 darknessG4655?
AndG1161 whatG5101 concordG4857 hath ChristG5547 withG4314 BelialG955? orG2228 whatG5101 partG3310 hath he that believethG4103 withG3326 an infidelG571?
AndG1161 whatG5101 agreementG4783 hath the templeG3485 of GodG2316 withG3326 idolsG1497? forG1063 yeG5210 areG2075 the templeG3485 of the livingG2198 GodG2316; asG2531 GodG2316 hath saidG2036+G3754, I will dwellG1774 inG1722 themG846, andG2532 walk inG1704 them; andG2532 I will beG2071 theirG846 GodG2316, andG2532 theyG846 shall beG2071 myG3427 peopleG2992.
WhereforeG1352 come outG1831 fromG1537 amongG3319 themG846, andG2532 be ye separateG873, saithG3004 the LordG2962, andG2532 touchG680 notG3361 the uncleanG169 thing; andG2504 I will receiveG1523 youG5209,
AndG2532 will beG2071+G1519 a FatherG3962 unto youG5213, andG2532 yeG5210 shall beG2071 myG3427 sonsG5207+G1519 andG2532 daughtersG2364, saithG3004 the LordG2962 AlmightyG3841.
ForG1063+G2532 ifG1437 the trumpetG4536 giveG1325 an uncertainG82 soundG5456, whoG5101 shall prepare himselfG3903 toG1519 the battleG4171?
ForG1063 otherG243 foundationG2310 canG1410 no manG3762 layG5087 thanG3844 that is laidG2749, whichG3739 isG2076 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
NowG1161 if any manG1536 buildG2026 uponG1909 thisG5126 foundationG2310 goldG5557, silverG696, preciousG5093 stonesG3037, woodG3586, hayG5528, stubbleG2562;
Every man'sG1538 workG2041 shall be madeG1096 manifestG5318: forG1063 the dayG2250 shall declareG1213 it, becauseG3754 it shall be revealedG601 byG1722 fireG4442; andG2532 the fireG4442 shall tryG1381 every man'sG1538 workG2041 of what sortG3697 it isG2076. {it shall be: Gr. it is}
If any man'sG1536 workG2041 abideG3306 whichG3739 he hath builtG2026 thereupon, he shall receiveG2983 a rewardG3408.
If any man'sG1536 workG2041 shall be burnedG2618, he shall suffer lossG2210: butG1161 he himselfG846 shall be savedG4982; yetG1161 soG3779 asG5613 byG1223 fireG4442.
And JacobH3290 kissedH5401 RachelH7354, and lifted upH5375 his voiceH6963, and weptH1058.
And it came to pass, when LabanH3837 heardH8085 the tidingsH8088 of JacobH3290 his sister'sH269 sonH1121, that he ranH7323 to meetH7125 him, and embracedH2263 him, and kissedH5401 him, and broughtH935 him to his houseH1004. And he toldH5608 LabanH3837 all these thingsH1697. {tidings: Heb. hearing}
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 to AaronH175, GoH3212 into the wildernessH4057 to meetH7125 MosesH4872. And he wentH3212, and metH6298 him in the mountH2022 of GodH430, and kissedH5401 him.
And as soon as the ladH5288 was goneH935, DavidH1732 aroseH6965 out of a place towardH681 the southH5045, and fellH5307 on his faceH639 to the groundH776, and bowedH7812 himself threeH7969 timesH6471: and they kissedH5401 oneH376 anotherH7453, and weptH1058 oneH376 with anotherH7453, until DavidH1732 exceededH1431.
And JoabH3097 saidH559 to AmasaH6021, Art thou in healthH7965, my brotherH251? And JoabH3097 tookH270 AmasaH6021 by the beardH2206 with the rightH3225 handH3027 to kissH5401 him.
And he leftH5800 the oxenH1241, and ranH7323 afterH310 ElijahH452, and saidH559, Let me, I pray thee, kissH5401 my fatherH1 and my motherH517, and then I will followH3212+H310 thee. And he saidH559 unto him, Go backH3212 againH7725: for what have I doneH6213 to thee? {Go…: Heb. Go return}
FaithfulH539 are the woundsH6482 of a friendH157; but the kissesH5390 of an enemyH8130 are deceitfulH6280. {deceitful: or, earnest, or, frequent}
The songH7892 of songsH7892, which is Solomon'sH8010.
Let him kissH5401 me with the kissesH5390 of his mouthH6310: for thy loveH1730 is betterH2896 than wineH3196. {thy…: Heb. thy loves}
And it came to pass, when the LORDH3068 would take upH5927 ElijahH452 into heavenH8064 by a whirlwindH5591, that ElijahH452 wentH3212 with ElishaH477 from GilgalH1537.
And ElijahH452 saidH559 unto ElishaH477, TarryH3427 here, I pray thee; for the LORDH3068 hath sentH7971 me to BethelH1008. And ElishaH477 saidH559 unto him, As the LORDH3068 livethH2416, and as thy soulH5315 livethH2416, I will not leaveH5800 thee. So they went downH3381 to BethelH1008.
And the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 that were at BethelH1008 came forthH3318 to ElishaH477, and saidH559 unto him, KnowestH3045 thou that the LORDH3068 will take awayH3947 thy masterH113 from thy headH7218 to dayH3117? And he saidH559, Yea, I knowH3045 it; hold ye your peaceH2814.
And ElijahH452 saidH559 unto him, ElishaH477, tarryH3427 here, I pray thee; for the LORDH3068 hath sentH7971 me to JerichoH3405. And he saidH559, As the LORDH3068 livethH2416, and as thy soulH5315 livethH2416, I will not leaveH5800 thee. So they cameH935 to JerichoH3405.
And the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 that were at JerichoH3405 cameH5066 to ElishaH477, and saidH559 unto him, KnowestH3045 thou that the LORDH3068 will take awayH3947 thy masterH113 from thy headH7218 to dayH3117? And he answeredH559, Yea, I knowH3045 it; hold ye your peaceH2814.
And ElijahH452 saidH559 unto him, TarryH3427, I pray thee, here; for the LORDH3068 hath sentH7971 me to JordanH3383. And he saidH559, As the LORDH3068 livethH2416, and as thy soulH5315 livethH2416, I will not leaveH5800 thee. And they twoH8147 went onH3212.
And fiftyH2572 menH376 of the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 wentH1980, and stoodH5975 to viewH5048 afar offH7350: and they twoH8147 stoodH5975 by JordanH3383. {to view: Heb. in sight, or, over against}
And ElijahH452 tookH3947 his mantleH155, and wrapped it togetherH1563, and smoteH5221 the watersH4325, and they were dividedH2673 hither and thither, so that they twoH8147 went overH5674 on dryH2724 ground.
And it came to pass, when they were gone overH5674, that ElijahH452 saidH559 unto ElishaH477, AskH7592 what I shall doH6213 for thee, before I be taken awayH3947 from thee. And ElishaH477 saidH559, I pray thee, let a doubleH8147 portionH6310 of thy spiritH7307 be upon me.
And he saidH559, Thou hast askedH7592 a hard thingH7185: nevertheless, if thou seeH7200 me when I am takenH3947 from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so. {Thou hast…: Heb. Thou hast done hard in asking}
And it came to pass, as they stillH1980 went onH1980, and talkedH1696, that, behold, there appeared a chariotH7393 of fireH784, and horsesH5483 of fireH784, and partedH6504 them bothH8147 asunderH996; and ElijahH452 went upH5927 by a whirlwindH5591 into heavenH8064.
And ElishaH477 sawH7200 it, and he criedH6817, My fatherH1, my fatherH1, the chariotH7393 of IsraelH3478, and the horsemenH6571 thereof. And he sawH7200 him no more: and he took holdH2388 of his own clothesH899, and rentH7167 them in twoH8147 piecesH7168.
He took upH7311 also the mantleH155 of ElijahH452 that fellH5307 from him, and went backH7725, and stoodH5975 by the bankH8193 of JordanH3383; {bank: Heb. lip}
And he tookH3947 the mantleH155 of ElijahH452 that fellH5307 from him, and smoteH5221 the watersH4325, and saidH559, Where is the LORDH3068 GodH430 of ElijahH452? and when he also had smittenH5221 the watersH4325, they partedH2673 hither and thither: and ElishaH477 went overH5674.
And when the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 which were to view at JerichoH3405 sawH7200 him, they saidH559, The spiritH7307 of ElijahH452 doth restH5117 on ElishaH477. And they cameH935 to meetH7125 him, and bowedH7812 themselves to the groundH776 before him.
And they saidH559 unto him, Behold now, there beH3426 with thy servantsH5650 fiftyH2572 strongH2428 menH1121+H582; let them goH3212, we pray thee, and seekH1245 thy masterH113: lest peradventure the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 hath taken him upH5375, and castH7993 him upon someH259 mountainH2022, or into someH259 valleyH1516. And he saidH559, Ye shall not sendH7971. {strong…: Heb. sons of strength} {some mountain: Heb. one of the mountains}
And when they urgedH6484 him till he was ashamedH954, he saidH559, SendH7971. They sentH7971 therefore fiftyH2572 menH376; and they soughtH1245 threeH7969 daysH3117, but foundH4672 him not.
And when they came againH7725 to him, (for he tarriedH3427 at JerichoH3405,) he saidH559 unto them, Did I not sayH559 unto you, GoH3212 not?
And the menH582 of the cityH5892 saidH559 unto ElishaH477, Behold, I pray thee, the situationH4186 of this cityH5892 is pleasantH2896, as my lordH113 seethH7200: but the waterH4325 is naughtH7451, and the groundH776 barrenH7921. {barren: Heb. causing to miscarry}
And he saidH559, BringH3947 me a newH2319 cruseH6746, and putH7760 saltH4417 therein. And they broughtH3947 it to him.
And he went forthH3318 unto the springH4161 of the watersH4325, and castH7993 the saltH4417 in there, and saidH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, I have healedH7495 these watersH4325; there shall not be from thence any more deathH4194 or barrenH7921 land.
So the watersH4325 were healedH7495 unto this dayH3117, according to the sayingH1697 of ElishaH477 which he spakeH1696.
And he went upH5927 from thence unto BethelH1008: and as he was going upH5927 by the wayH1870, there came forthH3318 littleH6996 childrenH5288 out of the cityH5892, and mockedH7046 him, and saidH559 unto him, Go upH5927, thou bald headH7142; go upH5927, thou bald headH7142.
And he turnedH6437 backH310, and lookedH7200 on them, and cursedH7043 them in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068. And there came forthH3318 twoH8147 she bearsH1677 out of the woodH3293, and tareH1234 fortyH705 and twoH8147 childrenH3206 of them.
And he wentH3212 from thence to mountH2022 CarmelH3760, and from thence he returnedH7725 to SamariaH8111.
AllG3956 scriptureG1124 is given by inspiration of GodG2315, andG2532 is profitableG5624 forG4314 doctrineG1319, forG4314 reproofG1650, forG4314 correctionG1882, forG4314 instructionG3809 inG1722 righteousnessG1343:
ThatG2443 the manG444 of GodG2316 may beG5600 perfectG739, throughly furnishedG1822 untoG4314 allG3956 goodG18 worksG2041. {throughly…: or, perfected}
ForG1063 theyG518 themselvesG846 shewG518 ofG4012 usG2257 what mannerG3697 of entering inG1529 we hadG2192 untoG4314 youG5209, andG2532 howG4459 ye turnedG1994 toG4314 GodG2316 fromG575 idolsG1497 to serveG1398 the livingG2198 andG2532 trueG228 GodG2316;
AndG2532 to wait forG362 hisG846 SonG5207 fromG1537 heavenG3772, whomG3739 he raisedG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498, even JesusG2424, whichG3588 deliveredG4506 usG2248 fromG575 the wrathG3709 to comeG2064.
WhereforeG1352 we receivingG3880 a kingdomG932 which cannot be movedG761, let us haveG2192 graceG5485, wherebyG1223+G3739 we may serveG3000 GodG2316 acceptablyG2102 withG3326 reverenceG127 andG2532 godly fearG2124: {let…: or, let us hold fast}
BrethrenG80, beG1096 followers togetherG4831 of meG3450, andG2532 markG4648 them which walkG4043 soG3779 asG2531 ye haveG2192 usG2248 for an ensampleG5179.
I pressG1377 towardG2596 the markG4649 forG1909 the prizeG1017 of the highG507 callingG2821 of GodG2316 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
There is oneG1520 bodyG4983, andG2532 oneG1520 SpiritG4151, even asG2531+G2532 ye are calledG2564 inG1722 oneG3391 hopeG1680 of yourG5216 callingG2821;
OneG1520 LordG2962, oneG1520 faithG4102, oneG3391 baptismG908,
OneG1520 GodG2316 andG2532 FatherG3962 of allG3956, whoG3588 is aboveG1909 allG3956, andG2532 throughG1223 allG3956, andG2532 inG1722 youG5213 allG3956.
AndG1161 they continuedG2258 stedfastlyG4342 in the apostles'G652 doctrineG1322 andG2532 fellowshipG2842, andG2532 in breakingG2800 of breadG740, andG2532 in prayersG4335.
