NowG1161 allG3956 these thingsG5023 happenedG4819 unto themG1565 for ensamplesG5179: andG1161 they are writtenG1125 forG4314 ourG2257 admonitionG3559, uponG1519 whomG3739 the endsG5056 of the worldG165 are comeG2658. {ensamples: or, types}
He hath holpenG482 hisG846 servantG3816 IsraelG2474, in remembranceG3415 of his mercyG1656;
AndG2532 the angelG32 saidG2036 unto themG846, FearG5399 notG3361: forG1063, beholdG2400, I bringG2097 youG5213 good tidingsG2097 of greatG3173 joyG5479, whichG3748 shall beG2071 to allG3956 peopleG2992.
AndG2532, beholdG2400, there wasG2258 a manG444 inG1722 JerusalemG2419, whoseG3739 nameG3686 was SimeonG4826; andG2532 the sameG3778 manG444 was justG1342 andG2532 devoutG2126, waitingG4327 for the consolationG3874 of IsraelG2474: andG2532 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 wasG2258 uponG1909 himG846.
A lightG5457 toG1519 lightenG602 the GentilesG1484, andG2532 the gloryG1391 of thyG4675 peopleG2992 IsraelG2474.
RejoicingH7832 in the habitable partH8398 of his earthH776; and my delightsH8191 were with the sonsH1121 of menH120.
ThenG1161+G2532 he which had receivedG2983 the oneG1520 talentG5007 cameG4334 and saidG2036, LordG2962, I knewG1097 theeG4571 thatG3754 thou artG1488 an hardG4642 manG444, reapingG2325 whereG3699 thou hastG4687 notG3756 sownG4687, andG2532 gatheringG4863 whereG3606 thou hastG1287 notG3756 strawedG1287:
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto her, TwoH8147 nationsH1471 are in thy wombH990, and two mannerH8147 of peopleH3816 shall be separatedH6504 from thy bowelsH4578; and the one peopleH3816 shall be strongerH553 than the other peopleH3816; and the elderH7227 shall serveH5647 the youngerH6810.
I sayG3004 the truthG225 inG1722 ChristG5547, I lieG5574 notG3756, myG3450 conscienceG4893 also bearingG4828 meG3427 witnessG4828 inG1722 the HolyG40 GhostG4151,
ThatG3754 IG3427 haveG2076 greatG3173 heavinessG3077 andG2532 continualG88 sorrow inG3601 myG3450 heartG2588.
ForG1063 IG1473 could wishG2172 that myselfG846 wereG1511 accursedG331 fromG575 ChristG5547 forG5228 myG3450 brethrenG80, myG3450 kinsmenG4773 accordingG2596 to the fleshG4561: {accursed: or, separated}
WhoG3748 areG1526 IsraelitesG2475; to whomG3739 pertaineth the adoptionG5206, andG2532 the gloryG1391, andG2532 the covenantsG1242, andG2532 the giving of the lawG3548, andG2532 the serviceG2999 of God, andG2532 the promisesG1860; {covenants: or, testaments}
WhoseG3739 are the fathersG3962, andG2532 ofG1537 whomG3739 as concerningG2596 the fleshG4561 ChristG5547 came, whoG5607 is overG1909 allG3956, GodG2316 blessedG2128 forG1519 everG165. AmenG281.
NotG3756 asG3634 thoughG1161+G3754 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 hath taken none effectG1601. ForG1063 they are notG3756 allG3956+G1537 IsraelG2474, whichG3588+G3778 are of IsraelG2474:
NeitherG3761, becauseG3754 they areG1526 the seedG4690 of AbrahamG11, are they allG3956 childrenG5043: butG235, InG1722 IsaacG2464 shallG2564 thyG4671 seedG4690 be calledG2564.
That isG5123, They which are the childrenG5043 of the fleshG4561, theseG5023 are notG3756 the childrenG5043 of GodG2316: butG235 the childrenG5043 of the promiseG1860 are countedG3049 forG1519 the seedG4690.
ForG1063 thisG3778 is the wordG3056 of promiseG1860, AtG2596 thisG5126 timeG2540 will I comeG2064, andG2532 SarahG4564 shall haveG2071 a sonG5207.
AndG1161 notG3756 onlyG3440 this; butG235 when RebeccaG4479 alsoG2532 had conceivedG2845 byG1537 oneG1520+G2192, even by ourG2257 fatherG3962 IsaacG2464;
(ForG1063 the children beingG1080 not yetG3380 bornG1080, neitherG3366 having doneG4238 anyG5100 goodG18 orG2228 evilG2556, thatG2443 the purposeG4286 of GodG2316 accordingG2596 to electionG1589 might standG3306, notG3756 ofG1537 worksG2041, butG235 ofG1537 him that callethG2564;)
It was saidG4483 unto herG846, The elderG3187 shall serveG1398 the youngerG1640. {elder: or, greater} {elder: or, greater} {younger: or, lesser}
AsG2531 it is writtenG1125, JacobG2384 have I lovedG25, butG1161 EsauG2269 have I hatedG3404.
WhatG5101 shall we sayG2046 thenG3767+G3361? Is there unrighteousnessG93 withG3844 GodG2316? God forbidG3361+G1096.
ForG1063 he saithG3004 to MosesG3475, I will have mercy onG1653 whomG3739+G302 I will have mercyG1653, andG2532 I will have compassionG3627 on whomG3739+G302 I will have compassionG3627.
SoG686 thenG3767 it is notG3756 of him that willethG2309, norG3761 of him that runnethG5143, butG235 of GodG2316 that sheweth mercyG1653.
ForG1063 the scriptureG1124 saithG3004 unto PharaohG5328, Even forG3754+G1519 thisG5124 same purposeG846 have I raisedG1825 theeG4571 upG1825, thatG3704 I might shewG1731 myG3450 powerG1411 inG1722 theeG4671, andG2532 thatG3704 myG3450 nameG3686 might be declaredG1229 throughoutG1722 allG3956 the earthG1093.
ThereforeG686+G3767 hath he mercyG1653 on whomG3739 he willG2309 have mercy, andG1161 whomG3739 he willG2309 he hardenethG4645.
Thou wilt sayG2046 thenG3767 unto meG3427, WhyG5101 doth he yetG2089 find faultG3201? ForG1063 whoG5101 hath resistedG436 hisG846 willG1013?
Nay butG3304, OG5599 manG444, whoG5101 artG1488 thouG4771 that repliest againstG470 GodG2316+G3361? ShallG2046 the thing formedG4110 sayG2046 to him that formedG4111 it, WhyG5101 hast thou madeG4160 meG3165 thusG3779? {repliest…: or, answerest again, or, disputest with God?}
HathG2192 notG3756 the potterG2763 powerG1849 over the clayG4081, ofG1537 the sameG846 lumpG5445 toG3739+G3303 makeG4160 one vesselG4632 untoG1519 honourG5092, andG1161 anotherG3739 untoG1519 dishonourG819?
What ifG1487+G1161 GodG2316, willingG2309 to shewG1731 his wrathG3709, andG2532 to makeG1107 hisG846 powerG1415 knownG1107, enduredG5342 withG1722 muchG4183 longsufferingG3115 the vesselsG4632 of wrathG3709 fittedG2675 toG1519 destructionG684: {fitted: or, made up}
AndG2532 thatG2443 he might make knownG1107 the richesG4149 of hisG846 gloryG1391 onG1909 the vesselsG4632 of mercyG1656, whichG3739 he had afore preparedG4282 untoG1519 gloryG1391,
EvenG2532 usG2248, whomG3739 he hath calledG2564, notG3756 ofG1537 the JewsG2453 onlyG3440, butG235 alsoG2532 ofG1537 the GentilesG1484?
As he saithG3004 alsoG2532 inG1722 OseeG5617, I will callG2564 them myG3450 peopleG2992, which were notG3756 myG3450 peopleG2992; andG2532 her belovedG25, which wasG25 notG3756 belovedG25.
AndG2532 it shall come to passG2071, that inG1722 the placeG5117 whereG3757+G3739 it was saidG4483 unto themG846, YeG5210 are notG3756 myG3450 peopleG2992; thereG1563 shall they be calledG2564 the childrenG5207 of the livingG2198 GodG2316.
EsaiasG2268 alsoG1161 criethG2896 concerningG5228 IsraelG2474, ThoughG1437 the numberG706 of the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474 beG5600 asG5613 the sandG285 of the seaG2281, a remnantG2640 shall be savedG4982:
ForG1063 he will finishG4931 the workG3056, andG2532 cut it shortG4932 inG1722 righteousnessG1343: becauseG3754 a shortG4932 workG3056 willG4160 the LordG2962 makeG4160 uponG1909 the earthG1093. {the work: or, the account}
AndG2532 asG2531 EsaiasG2268 said beforeG4280, ExceptG1508 the LordG2962 of SabaothG4519 had leftG1459 usG2254 a seedG4690, we had beenG302+G1096 asG5613 SodomaG4670, andG2532 been made likeG302+G3666 untoG5613 GomorrhaG1116.
WhatG5101 shall we sayG2046 thenG3767? ThatG3754 the GentilesG1484, whichG3588 followedG1377 notG3361 after righteousnessG1343, have attainedG2638 to righteousnessG1343, evenG1161 the righteousnessG1343 whichG3588 is ofG1537 faithG4102.
ButG1161 IsraelG2474, which followedG1377 after the lawG3551 of righteousnessG1343, hathG5348 notG3756 attainedG5348 toG1519 the lawG3551 of righteousnessG1343.
WhereforeG1302? BecauseG3754 they sought it notG3756 byG1537 faithG4102, butG235 asG5613 it were byG1537 the worksG2041 of the lawG3551. ForG1063 they stumbledG4350 at that stumblingstoneG3037+G4348;
AsG2531 it is writtenG1125, BeholdG2400, I layG5087 inG1722 SionG4622 a stumblingstoneG3037+G4348 andG2532 rockG4073 of offenceG4625: andG2532 whosoeverG3956 believethG4100 onG1909 himG846 shallG2617 notG3756 be ashamedG2617. {ashamed: or confounded}
For thy violenceH2555 against thy brotherH251 JacobH3290 shameH955 shall coverH3680 thee, and thou shalt be cut offH3772 for everH5769.
In the dayH3117 that thou stoodestH5975 on the other side, in the dayH3117 that the strangersH2114 carried away captiveH7617 his forcesH2428, and foreignersH5237 enteredH935 into his gatesH8179, and castH3032 lotsH1486 upon JerusalemH3389, even thou wast as oneH259 of them. {captive…: or, his substance}
But thou shouldest not have lookedH7200 on the dayH3117 of thy brotherH251 in the dayH3117 that he became a strangerH5235; neither shouldest thou have rejoicedH8055 over the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 in the dayH3117 of their destructionH6; neither shouldest thou have spokenH6310 proudlyH1431 in the dayH3117 of distressH6869. {spoken…: Heb. magnified thy mouth}
Thou shouldest not have enteredH935 into the gateH8179 of my peopleH5971 in the dayH3117 of their calamityH343; yea, thou shouldest not have lookedH7200 on their afflictionH7451 in the dayH3117 of their calamityH343, nor have laidH7971 hands on their substanceH2428 in the dayH3117 of their calamityH343; {substance: or, forces}
Neither shouldest thou have stoodH5975 in the crosswayH6563, to cut offH3772 those of his that did escapeH6412; neither shouldest thou have delivered upH5462 those of his that did remainH8300 in the dayH3117 of distressH6869. {delivered up: or, shut up}
For thy violenceH2555 against thy brotherH251 JacobH3290 shameH955 shall coverH3680 thee, and thou shalt be cut offH3772 for everH5769.
And the houseH1004 of JacobH3290 shall be a fireH784, and the houseH1004 of JosephH3130 a flameH3852, and the houseH1004 of EsauH6215 for stubbleH7179, and they shall kindleH1814 in them, and devourH398 them; and there shall not be any remainingH8300 of the houseH1004 of EsauH6215; for the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 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.
How muchG4214 moreG3123 shallG2511 the bloodG129 of ChristG5547, whoG3739 throughG1223 the eternalG166 SpiritG4151 offeredG4374 himselfG1438 without spotG299 to GodG2316, purgeG2511 yourG5216 conscienceG4893 fromG575 deadG3498 worksG2041 toG1519 serveG3000 the livingG2198 GodG2316? {spot: or, fault}
AndG2532 whenG3753 he had openedG455 the seventhG1442 sealG4973, there wasG1096 silenceG4602 inG1722 heavenG3772 about the space ofG5613 half an hourG2256.
AndG2532 I sawG1492 the sevenG2033 angelsG32 whichG3739 stoodG2476 beforeG1799 GodG2316; andG2532 to themG846 were givenG1325 sevenG2033 trumpetsG4536.
AndG2532 anotherG243 angelG32 cameG2064 andG2532 stoodG2476 atG1909 the altarG2379, havingG2192 a goldenG5552 censerG3031; andG2532 there was givenG1325 unto himG846 muchG4183 incenseG2368, thatG2443 he should offerG1325 it with the prayersG4335 of allG3956 saintsG40 uponG1909 the goldenG5552 altarG2379 whichG3588 was beforeG1799 the throneG2362. {offer…: or, add it to the prayers}
AndG2532 the smokeG2586 of the incenseG2368, which came with the prayersG4335 of the saintsG40, ascended upG305 beforeG1799 GodG2316 out ofG1537 the angel'sG32 handG5495.
AndG2532 the angelG32 tookG2983 the censerG3031, andG2532 filledG1072 itG846 withG1537 fireG4442 of the altarG2379, andG2532 castG906 it intoG1519 the earthG1093: andG2532 there wereG1096 voicesG5456, andG2532 thunderingsG1027, andG2532 lightningsG796, andG2532 an earthquakeG4578. {into: or, upon}
AndG2532 the sevenG2033 angelsG32 whichG3588 hadG2192 the sevenG2033 trumpetsG4536 preparedG2090 themselvesG1438 toG2443 soundG4537.
The firstG4413 angelG32 soundedG4537, andG2532 there followedG1096 hailG5464 andG2532 fireG4442 mingledG3396 with bloodG129, andG2532 they were castG906 uponG1519 the earthG1093: andG2532 the third partG5154 of treesG1186 was burnt upG2618, andG2532 allG3956 greenG5515 grassG5528 was burnt upG2618.
AndG2532 the secondG1208 angelG32 soundedG4537, andG2532 as it wereG5613 a greatG3173 mountainG3735 burningG2545 with fireG4442 was castG906 intoG1519 the seaG2281: andG2532 the third partG5154 of the seaG2281 becameG1096 bloodG129;
AndG2532 the third partG5154 of the creaturesG2938 whichG3588 were inG1722 the seaG2281, and hadG2192 lifeG5590, diedG599; andG2532 the third partG5154 of the shipsG4143 were destroyedG1311.
AndG2532 the thirdG5154 angelG32 soundedG4537, andG2532 there fellG4098 a greatG3173 starG792 fromG1537 heavenG3772, burningG2545 as it wereG5613 a lampG2985, andG2532 it fellG4098 uponG1909 the third partG5154 of the riversG4215, andG2532 uponG1909 the fountainsG4077 of watersG5204;
AndG2532 the nameG3686 of the starG792 is calledG3004 WormwoodG894: andG2532 the third partG5154 of the watersG5204 becameG1096+G1519 wormwoodG894; andG2532 manyG4183 menG444 diedG599 ofG1537 the watersG5204, becauseG3754 they were made bitterG4087.
AndG2532 the fourthG5067 angelG32 soundedG4537, andG2532 the third partG5154 of the sunG2246 was smittenG4141, andG2532 the third partG5154 of the moonG4582, andG2532 the third partG5154 of the starsG792; so asG2443 the third partG5154 of themG846 was darkenedG4654, andG2532 the dayG2250 shoneG5316 notG3361 for a third partG5154 of itG846, andG2532 the nightG3571 likewiseG3668.
AndG2532 I beheldG1492, andG2532 heardG191 anG1520 angelG32 flyingG4072 throughG1722 the midst of heavenG3321, sayingG3004 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, WoeG3759, woeG3759, woeG3759, to the inhabitersG2730 ofG1909 the earthG1093 by reason ofG1537 the otherG3062 voicesG5456 of the trumpetG4536 of the threeG5140 angelsG32, whichG3588 are yetG3195 to soundG4537!
BeholdG2400, I will makeG1325 them ofG1537 the synagogueG4864 of SatanG4567, whichG3588 sayG3004 theyG1438 areG1511 JewsG2453, andG2532 areG1526 notG3756, butG235 do lieG5574; beholdG2400, I will makeG4160 themG846 toG2443 comeG2240 andG2532 worshipG4352 beforeG1799 thyG4675 feetG4228, andG2532 to knowG1097 thatG3754 IG1473 have lovedG25 theeG4571.
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}
And NadabH5070 and AbihuH30, the sonsH1121 of AaronH175, tookH3947 eitherH376 of them his censerH4289, and putH5414 fireH784 thereinH2004, and putH7760 incenseH7004 thereon, and offeredH7126 strangeH2114 fireH784 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, which he commandedH6680 them not.
Wherefore kickH1163 ye at my sacrificeH2077 and at mine offeringH4503, which I have commandedH6680 in my habitationH4583; and honourestH3513 thy sonsH1121 above me, to make yourselves fatH1254 with the chiefestH7225 of all the offeringsH4503 of IsraelH3478 my peopleH5971?
And I will raise me upH6965 a faithfulH539 priestH3548, that shall doH6213 according to that which is in mine heartH3824 and in my mindH5315: and I will buildH1129 him a sureH539 houseH1004; and he shall walkH1980 beforeH6440 mine anointedH4899 for everH3117.
And these are the sonsH1121 of AaronH175; EleazarH499 his sonH1121, PhinehasH6372 his sonH1121, AbishuaH50 his sonH1121,
BukkiH1231 his sonH1121, UzziH5813 his sonH1121, ZerahiahH2228 his sonH1121,
MeraiothH4812 his sonH1121, AmariahH568 his sonH1121, AhitubH285 his sonH1121,
Now these are the divisionsH4256 of the sonsH1121 of AaronH175. The sonsH1121 of AaronH175; NadabH5070, and AbihuH30, EleazarH499, and IthamarH385.
But NadabH5070 and AbihuH30 diedH4191 beforeH6440 their fatherH1, and had no childrenH1121: therefore EleazarH499 and IthamarH385 executed the priest's officeH3547.
And DavidH1732 distributedH2505 them, both ZadokH6659 of the sonsH1121 of EleazarH499, and AhimelechH288 of the sonsH1121 of IthamarH385, according to their officesH6486 in their serviceH5656.
And there were moreH7227 chiefH7218 menH1397 foundH4672 of the sonsH1121 of EleazarH499 than of the sonsH1121 of IthamarH385; and thus were they dividedH2505. Among the sonsH1121 of EleazarH499 there were sixteenH8337+H6240 chief menH7218 of the houseH1004 of their fathersH1, and eightH8083 among the sonsH1121 of IthamarH385 according to the houseH1004 of their fathersH1.
Thus were they dividedH2505 by lotH1486, one sortH428 with anotherH428; for the governorsH8269 of the sanctuaryH6944, and governorsH8269 of the house of GodH430, were of the sonsH1121 of EleazarH499, and of the sonsH1121 of IthamarH385.
And ShemaiahH8098 the sonH1121 of NethaneelH5417 the scribeH5608, one of the LevitesH3881, wroteH3789 them beforeH6440 the kingH4428, and the princesH8269, and ZadokH6659 the priestH3548, and AhimelechH288 the sonH1121 of AbiatharH54, and before the chiefH7218 of the fathersH1 of the priestsH3548 and LevitesH3881: oneH259 principalH1 householdH1004 being takenH270 for EleazarH499, and one takenH270 for IthamarH385. {principal…: Heb. house of the father}
RememberH2142 them, O my GodH430, because they have defiledH1352 the priesthoodH3550, and the covenantH1285 of the priesthoodH3550, and of the LevitesH3881. {because…: Heb. for the defilings}
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.
YeG846 alsoG2532, asG5613 livelyG2198 stonesG3037, are built upG3618 a spiritualG4152 houseG3624, an holyG40 priesthoodG2406, to offer upG399 spiritualG4152 sacrificesG2378, acceptableG2144 to GodG2316 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. {are: or, be ye}
ButG1161 yeG5210 are a chosenG1588 generationG1085, a royalG934 priesthoodG2406, an holyG40 nationG1484, a peculiarG1519+G4047 peopleG2992; thatG3704 ye should shew forthG1804 the praisesG703 of him who hath calledG2564 youG5209 out ofG1537 darknessG4655 intoG1519 hisG846 marvellousG2298 lightG5457: {peculiar: or, purchased} {praises: or, virtues}
The lordG2962 of thatG1565 servantG1401 shall comeG2240 inG1722 a dayG2250 whenG3739 he lookethG4328 notG3756 for him, andG2532 inG1722 an hourG5610 thatG3739 he isG1097 notG3756 aware ofG1097,
AndG2532 shall cutG1371 himG846 asunderG1371, andG2532 appointG5087 him hisG846 portionG3313 withG3326 the hypocritesG5273: thereG1563 shall beG2071 weepingG2805 andG2532 gnashingG1030 of teethG3599. {cut…: or, cut him off}
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}
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872, sayingH559,
PhinehasH6372, the sonH1121 of EleazarH499, the sonH1121 of AaronH175 the priestH3548, hath turnedH7725 my wrathH2534 awayH7725 from the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, while he was zealousH7065 for my sakeH7068 amongH8432 them, that I consumedH3615 not the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 in my jealousyH7068. {for…: Heb. with my zeal}
Wherefore sayH559, Behold, I giveH5414 unto him my covenantH1285 of peaceH7965:
And he shall have it, and his seedH2233 afterH310 him, even the covenantH1285 of an everlastingH5769 priesthoodH3550; becauseH834 he was zealousH7065 for his GodH430, and made an atonementH3722 for the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
It shall be for the priestsH3548 that are sanctifiedH6942 of the sonsH1121 of ZadokH6659; which have keptH8104 my chargeH4931, which went not astrayH8582 when the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 went astrayH8582, as the LevitesH3881 went astrayH8582. {It…: or, The sanctified portion shall be for the priests} {charge: or, ward, or, ordinance}
And this oblationH8642 of the landH776 that is offeredH8641 shall be unto them a thing mostH6944 holyH6944 by the borderH1366 of the LevitesH3881.
A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. The LORDH3068 saidH5002 unto my LordH113, SitH3427 thou at my right handH3225, until I makeH7896 thine enemiesH341 thy footstoolH1916+H7272.
The LORDH3068 shall sendH7971 the rodH4294 of thy strengthH5797 out of ZionH6726: ruleH7287 thou in the midstH7130 of thine enemiesH341.
Thy peopleH5971 shall be willingH5071 in the dayH3117 of thy powerH2428, in the beautiesH1926 of holinessH6944 from the wombH7358 of the morningH4891: thou hast the dewH2919 of thy youthH3208. {from…: or, more than the womb of the morning: thou shalt have, etc}
The LORDH3068 hath swornH7650, and will not repentH5162, Thou art a priestH3548 for everH5769 after the orderH1700 of MelchizedekH4442.
The LordH136 at thy right handH3225 shall strikeH4272 through kingsH4428 in the dayH3117 of his wrathH639.
He shall judgeH1777 among the heathenH1471, he shall fillH4390 the places with the dead bodiesH1472; he shall woundH4272 the headsH7218 over manyH7227 countriesH776. {many: or, great}
He shall drinkH8354 of the brookH5158 in the wayH1870: therefore shall he lift upH7311 the headH7218.
And of LeviH3878 he saidH559, Let thy ThummimH8550 and thy UrimH224 be with thy holyH2623 oneH376, whom thou didst proveH5254 at MassahH4532, and with whom thou didst striveH7378 at the watersH4325 of MeribahH4809;
Who saidH559 unto his fatherH1 and to his motherH517, I have not seenH7200 him; neither did he acknowledgeH5234 his brethrenH251, nor knewH3045 his own childrenH1121: for they have observedH8104 thy wordH565, and keptH5341 thy covenantH1285.
They shall teachH3384 JacobH3290 thy judgmentsH4941, and IsraelH3478 thy lawH8451: they shall putH7760 incenseH6988 beforeH639 thee, and whole burnt sacrificeH3632 upon thine altarH4196. {They shall teach: or, Let them teach} {they shall put: or, let them put} {before…: Heb. at thy nose}
BlessH1288, LORDH3068, his substanceH2428, and acceptH7521 the workH6467 of his handsH3027: smiteH4272 through the loinsH4975 of them that riseH6965 against him, and of them that hateH8130 him, that they riseH6965 notH4480 againH6965.
And when SaulH7586 enquiredH7592 of the LORDH3068, the LORDH3068 answeredH6030 him not, neither by dreamsH2472, nor by UrimH224, nor by prophetsH5030.
And DavidH1732 knewH3045 that SaulH7586 secretly practisedH2790 mischiefH7451 against him; and he saidH559 to AbiatharH54 the priestH3548, Bring hitherH5066 the ephodH646.
And he shall standH5975 beforeH6440 EleazarH499 the priestH3548, who shall askH7592 counsel for him after the judgmentH4941 of UrimH224 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068: at his wordH6310 shall they go outH3318, and at his wordH6310 they shall come inH935, both he, and all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 with him, even all the congregationH5712.
And the TirshathaH8660 saidH559 unto them, that they should not eatH398 of the mostH6944 holy thingsH6944, till there stood upH5975 a priestH3548 with UrimH224 and with ThummimH8550. {Tirshatha: or, governor}
And the TirshathaH8660 saidH559 unto them, that they should not eatH398 of the mostH6944 holy thingsH6944, till there stoodH5975 up a priestH3548 with UrimH224 and ThummimH8550. {the Tirshatha: or, the governor}
And of LeviH3878 he saidH559, Let thy ThummimH8550 and thy UrimH224 be with thy holyH2623 oneH376, whom thou didst proveH5254 at MassahH4532, and with whom thou didst striveH7378 at the watersH4325 of MeribahH4809;
The burdenH4853 of the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 to IsraelH3478 byH3027 MalachiH4401. {by…: Heb. by the hand of}
I have lovedH157 you, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. Yet ye sayH559, Wherein hast thou lovedH157 us? Was not EsauH6215 Jacob'sH3290 brotherH251? saithH559 the LORDH3068: yet I lovedH157 JacobH3290,
And I hatedH8130 EsauH6215, and laidH7760 his mountainsH2022 and his heritageH5159 wasteH8077 for the dragonsH8568 of the wildernessH4057.
Whereas EdomH123 saithH559, We are impoverishedH7567, but we will returnH7725 and buildH1129 the desolate placesH2723; thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, They shall buildH1129, but I will throw downH2040; and they shall callH7121 them, The borderH1366 of wickednessH7564, and, The peopleH5971 against whom the LORDH3068 hath indignationH2194 forH5704 everH5769.
And your eyesH5869 shall seeH7200, and ye shall sayH559, The LORDH3068 will be magnifiedH1431 from the borderH1366 of IsraelH3478. {from: or, upon: Heb. from upon}
On that dayH3117 they readH7121 in the bookH5612 of MosesH4872 in the audienceH241 of the peopleH5971; and therein was foundH4672 writtenH3789, that the AmmoniteH5984 and the MoabiteH4125 should not comeH935 into the congregationH6951 of GodH430 forH5704 everH5769; {they…: Heb. there was read} {audience: Heb. ears}
Because they metH6923 not the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 with breadH3899 and with waterH4325, but hiredH7936 BalaamH1109 against them, that he should curseH7043 them: howbeit our GodH430 turnedH2015 the curseH7045 into a blessingH1293.
Now it came to pass, when they had heardH8085 the lawH8451, that they separatedH914 from IsraelH3478 all the mixed multitudeH6154.
And beforeH6440 this, EliashibH475 the priestH3548, having the oversightH5414 of the chamberH3957 of the houseH1004 of our GodH430, was alliedH7138 unto TobiahH2900: {having…: Heb. being set over}
And he had preparedH6213 for him a greatH1419 chamberH3957, where aforetimeH6440 they laidH5414 the meat offeringsH4503, the frankincenseH3828, and the vesselsH3627, and the tithesH4643 of the cornH1715, the new wineH8492, and the oilH3323, which was commandedH4687 to be given to the LevitesH3881, and the singersH7891, and the portersH7778; and the offeringsH8641 of the priestsH3548. {which…: Heb. the commandment of the Levites}
But in all this time was not I at JerusalemH3389: for in the twoH8147 and thirtiethH7970 yearH8141 of ArtaxerxesH783 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 cameH935 I unto the kingH4428, and afterH7093 certain daysH3117 obtained I leaveH7592 of the kingH4428: {after…: Heb. at the end of days} {obtained…: or, I earnestly requested}
And I cameH935 to JerusalemH3389, and understoodH995 of the evilH7451 that EliashibH475 didH6213 for TobiahH2900, in preparingH6213 him a chamberH5393 in the courtsH2691 of the houseH1004 of GodH430.
And it grievedH3415 me soreH3966: therefore I cast forthH7993 all the householdH1004 stuffH3627 of TobiahH2900 out ofH2351 the chamberH3957.
Then I commandedH559, and they cleansedH2891 the chambersH3957: and thither brought I againH7725 the vesselsH3627 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, with the meat offeringH4503 and the frankincenseH3828.
And I perceivedH3045 that the portionsH4521 of the LevitesH3881 had not been givenH5414 them: for the LevitesH3881 and the singersH7891, that didH6213 the workH4399, were fledH1272 every oneH376 to his fieldH7704.
Then contendedH7378 I with the rulersH5461, and saidH559, Why is the houseH1004 of GodH430 forsakenH5800? And I gathered them togetherH6908, and setH5975 them in their placeH5977. {place: Heb. standing}
Then broughtH935 all JudahH3063 the titheH4643 of the cornH1715 and the new wineH8492 and the oilH3323 unto the treasuriesH214. {treasuries: or, storehouses}
And I made treasurersH686 over the treasuriesH214, ShelemiahH8018 the priestH3548, and ZadokH6659 the scribeH5608, and of the LevitesH3881, PedaiahH6305: and next to themH3027 was HananH2605 the sonH1121 of ZaccurH2139, the sonH1121 of MattaniahH4983: for they were countedH2803 faithfulH539, and their office was to distributeH2505 unto their brethrenH251. {treasuries: or, storehouses} {next…: Heb. at their hand} {their office…: Heb. it was upon them}
RememberH2142 me, O my GodH430, concerning this, and wipe not outH4229 my goodH2617 deeds that I have doneH6213 for the houseH1004 of my GodH430, and for the officesH4929 thereof. {good…: Heb. kindnesses} {offices: or, observations}
In those daysH3117 sawH7200 I in JudahH3063 some treadingH1869 wine pressesH1660 on the sabbathH7676, and bringing inH935 sheavesH6194, and ladingH6006 assesH2543; as also wineH3196, grapesH6025, and figsH8384, and all manner of burdensH4853, which they broughtH935 into JerusalemH3389 on the sabbathH7676 dayH3117: and I testifiedH5749 against them in the dayH3117 wherein they soldH4376 victualsH6718.
There dweltH3427 men of TyreH6876 also therein, which broughtH935 fishH1709+H1709, and all manner of wareH4377, and soldH4376 on the sabbathH7676 unto the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063, and in JerusalemH3389.
Then I contendedH7378 with the noblesH2715 of JudahH3063, and saidH559 unto them, What evilH7451 thingH1697 is this that ye doH6213, and profaneH2490 the sabbathH7676 dayH3117?
DidH6213 not your fathersH1 thus, and didH935 not our GodH430 bringH935 all this evilH7451 upon us, and upon this cityH5892? yet ye bringH935 moreH3254 wrathH2740 upon IsraelH3478 by profaningH2490 the sabbathH7676.
And it came to pass, that when the gatesH8179 of JerusalemH3389 began to be darkH6751 beforeH6440 the sabbathH7676, I commandedH559 that the gatesH1817 should be shutH5462, and chargedH559 that they should not be openedH6605 till afterH310 the sabbathH7676: and some of my servantsH5288 setH5975 I at the gatesH8179, that there should no burdenH4853 be brought inH935 on the sabbathH7676 dayH3117.
So the merchantsH7402 and sellersH4376 of all kind of wareH4465 lodgedH3885 withoutH2351 JerusalemH3389 onceH6471 or twiceH8147.
Then I testifiedH5749 against them, and saidH559 unto them, Why lodgeH3885 ye aboutH5048 the wallH2346? if ye do so againH8138, I will layH7971 handsH3027 on you. From that timeH6256 forth cameH935 they no more on the sabbathH7676. {about: Heb. before}
And I commandedH559 the LevitesH3881 that they should cleanseH2891 themselves, and that they should comeH935 and keepH8104 the gatesH8179, to sanctifyH6942 the sabbathH7676 dayH3117. RememberH2142 me, O my GodH430, concerning this also, and spareH2347 me according to the greatnessH7230 of thy mercyH2617. {greatness: or, multitude}
In those daysH3117 also sawH7200 I JewsH3064 that had marriedH3427 wivesH802 of AshdodH796, of AmmonH5984, and of MoabH4125: {had…: Heb. had made to dwell with them}
And their childrenH1121 spakeH1696 halfH2677 in the speech of AshdodH797, and couldH5234 not speakH1696 in the Jews' languageH3066, but according to the languageH3956 of eachH5971 peopleH5971. {could…: Heb. they discerned not to speak} {of each…: Heb. of people and people}
And I contendedH7378 with them, and cursedH7043 them, and smoteH5221 certainH582 of them, and plucked off their hairH4803, and made them swearH7650 by GodH430, saying, Ye shall not giveH5414 your daughtersH1323 unto their sonsH1121, nor takeH5375 their daughtersH1323 unto your sonsH1121, or for yourselves. {cursed: or, reviled}
Did not SolomonH8010 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 sinH2398 by these things? yet among manyH7227 nationsH1471 was there no kingH4428 like him, who was belovedH157 of his GodH430, and GodH430 madeH5414 him kingH4428 over all IsraelH3478: nevertheless even himH1571 did outlandishH5237 womenH802 cause to sinH2398.
Shall we then hearkenH8085 unto you to doH6213 all this greatH1419 evilH7451, to transgressH4603 against our GodH430 in marryingH3427 strangeH5237 wivesH802?
And one of the sonsH1121 of JoiadaH3111, the sonH1121 of EliashibH475 the highH1419 priestH3548, was son in lawH2860 to SanballatH5571 the HoroniteH2772: therefore I chasedH1272 him from me.
RememberH2142 them, O my GodH430, because they have defiledH1352 the priesthoodH3550, and the covenantH1285 of the priesthoodH3550, and of the LevitesH3881. {because…: Heb. for the defilings}
Thus cleansedH2891 I them from all strangersH5236, and appointedH5975 the wardsH4931 of the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881, every oneH376 in his businessH4399;
And for the woodH6086 offeringH7133, at timesH6256 appointedH2163, and for the firstfruitsH1061. RememberH2142 me, O my GodH430, for goodH2896.
NowG1161 allG3956 these thingsG5023 happenedG4819 unto themG1565 for ensamplesG5179: andG1161 they are writtenG1125 forG4314 ourG2257 admonitionG3559, uponG1519 whomG3739 the endsG5056 of the worldG165 are comeG2658. {ensamples: or, types}
He hath holpenG482 hisG846 servantG3816 IsraelG2474, in remembranceG3415 of his mercyG1656;
AndG2532 the angelG32 saidG2036 unto themG846, FearG5399 notG3361: forG1063, beholdG2400, I bringG2097 youG5213 good tidingsG2097 of greatG3173 joyG5479, whichG3748 shall beG2071 to allG3956 peopleG2992.
AndG2532, beholdG2400, there wasG2258 a manG444 inG1722 JerusalemG2419, whoseG3739 nameG3686 was SimeonG4826; andG2532 the sameG3778 manG444 was justG1342 andG2532 devoutG2126, waitingG4327 for the consolationG3874 of IsraelG2474: andG2532 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 wasG2258 uponG1909 himG846.
A lightG5457 toG1519 lightenG602 the GentilesG1484, andG2532 the gloryG1391 of thyG4675 peopleG2992 IsraelG2474.
