And when JosephH3130 sawH7200 that his fatherH1 laidH7896 his rightH3225 handH3027 upon the headH7218 of EphraimH669, it displeasedH3415+H5869 him: and he held upH8551 his father'sH1 handH3027, to removeH5493 it from Ephraim'sH669 headH7218 unto Manasseh'sH4519 headH7218. {displeased…: was evil in his eyes}
And JosephH3130 saidH559 unto his fatherH1, Not so, my fatherH1: for this is the firstbornH1060; putH7760 thy right handH3225 upon his headH7218.
And his fatherH1 refusedH3985, and saidH559, I knowH3045 it, my sonH1121, I knowH3045 it: he also shall become a peopleH5971, and he also shall be greatH1431: but trulyH199 his youngerH6996 brotherH251 shall be greaterH1431 than he, and his seedH2233 shall become a multitudeH4393 of nationsH1471. {multitude: Heb. fulness}
Those that were numberedH6485 of them, even of the tribeH4294 of EphraimH669, were fortyH705 thousandH505 and fiveH2568 hundredH3967.
These are the familiesH4940 of the sonsH1121 of EphraimH669 according to those that were numberedH6485 of them, thirtyH7970 and twoH8147 thousandH505 and fiveH2568 hundredH3967. These are the sonsH1121 of JosephH3130 after their familiesH4940.
They shall comeH935 with weepingH1065, and with supplicationsH8469 will I leadH2986 them: I will cause them to walkH3212 by the riversH5158 of watersH4325 in a straightH3477 wayH1870, wherein they shall not stumbleH3782: for I am a fatherH1 to IsraelH3478, and EphraimH669 is my firstbornH1060. {supplications: or, favours}
Now the sonsH1121 of ReubenH7205 the firstbornH1060 of IsraelH3478, (for he was the firstbornH1060; but, forasmuch as he defiledH2490 his father'sH1 bedH3326, his birthrightH1062 was givenH5414 unto the sonsH1121 of JosephH3130 the sonH1121 of IsraelH3478: and the genealogy is not to be reckonedH3187 after the birthrightH1062.
For JudahH3063 prevailedH1396 above his brethrenH251, and of him came the chief rulerH5057; but the birthrightH1062 was Joseph'sH3130:) {chief…: or, prince}
And GideonH1439 sentH7971 messengersH4397 throughout all mountH2022 EphraimH669, sayingH559, Come downH3381 againstH7125 the MidianitesH4080, and takeH3920 before them the watersH4325 unto BethbarahH1012 and JordanH3383. Then all the menH376 of EphraimH669 gathered themselves togetherH6817, and tookH3920 the watersH4325 unto BethbarahH1012 and JordanH3383.
And the menH376 of EphraimH669 saidH559 unto him, Why hast thouH4100 servedH6213 us thusH1697, that thou calledstH7121 us not, when thou wentestH1980 to fightH3898 with the MidianitesH4080? And they did chideH7378 with him sharplyH2394. {Why…: Heb. What thing is this thou hast done unto us} {sharply: Heb. strongly}
And he saidH559 unto them, What have I doneH6213 now in comparison of you? Is not the gleaningH5955 of the grapes of EphraimH669 betterH2896 than the vintageH1210 of AbiezerH44?
GodH430 hath deliveredH5414 into your handsH3027 the princesH8269 of MidianH4080, OrebH6159 and ZeebH2062: and what was I ableH3201 to doH6213 in comparison of you? Then their angerH7307 was abatedH7503 toward him, when he had saidH1697 thatH1696. {anger: Heb. spirit}
And the menH376 of EphraimH669 gathered themselves togetherH6817, and wentH5674 northwardH6828, and saidH559 unto JephthahH3316, Wherefore passedst thou overH5674 to fightH3898 against the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and didst not callH7121 us to goH3212 with thee? we will burnH8313 thine houseH1004 upon thee with fireH784. {gathered…: Heb. were called}
And JephthahH3316 saidH559 unto them, I and my peopleH5971 wereH1961 at greatH3966 strifeH376+H7379 with the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983; and when I calledH2199 you, ye deliveredH3467 me not out of their handsH3027.
And when I sawH7200 that ye deliveredH3467 me not, I putH7760 my lifeH5315 in my handsH3709, and passed overH5674 against the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and the LORDH3068 deliveredH5414 them into my handH3027: wherefore then are ye come upH5927 unto me this dayH3117, to fightH3898 against me?
Then JephthahH3316 gathered togetherH6908 all the menH582 of GileadH1568, and foughtH3898 with EphraimH669: and the menH582 of GileadH1568 smoteH5221 EphraimH669, because they saidH559, Ye GileaditesH1568 are fugitivesH6412 of EphraimH669 amongH8432 the EphraimitesH669, and amongH8432 the ManassitesH4519.
And the GileaditesH1568 tookH3920 the passagesH4569 of JordanH3383 before the EphraimitesH669: and it was so, that when those EphraimitesH669 which were escapedH6412 saidH559, Let me go overH5674; that the menH582 of GileadH1568 saidH559 unto him, Art thou an EphraimiteH673? If he saidH559, Nay;
Then saidH559 they unto him, SayH559 now ShibbolethH7641: and he saidH559 SibbolethH5451: for he could not frameH3559 to pronounceH1696 it rightH3559. Then they tookH270 him, and slewH7819 him at the passagesH4569 of JordanH3383: and there fellH5307 at that timeH6256 of the EphraimitesH669 fortyH705 and twoH8147 thousandH505.
Neither did EphraimH669 drive outH3423 the CanaanitesH3669 that dweltH3427 in GezerH1507; but the CanaanitesH3669 dweltH3427 in GezerH1507 amongH7130 them.
GileadH1568 is mine, and ManassehH4519 is mine; EphraimH669 also is the strengthH4581 of mine headH7218; JudahH3063 is my lawgiverH2710;
GileadH1568 is mine; ManassehH4519 is mine; EphraimH669 also is the strengthH4581 of mine headH7218; JudahH3063 is my lawgiverH2710;
I knowH3045 EphraimH669, and IsraelH3478 is not hidH3582 from me: for now, O EphraimH669, thou committest whoredomH2181, and IsraelH3478 is defiledH2930.
And the prideH1347 of IsraelH3478 doth testifyH6030 to his faceH6440: therefore shall IsraelH3478 and EphraimH669 fallH3782 in their iniquityH5771; JudahH3063 also shall fallH3782 with them.
When EphraimH669 sawH7200 his sicknessH2483, and JudahH3063 saw his woundH4205, then wentH3212 EphraimH669 to the AssyrianH804, and sentH7971 to kingH4428 JarebH3377+H7378: yet couldH3201 he not healH7495 you, nor cureH1455 you of your woundH4205. {king Jareb: or, the king of Jareb: or, the king that should plead}
For I will be unto EphraimH669 as a lionH7826, and as a young lionH3715 to the houseH1004 of JudahH3063: I, even I, will tearH2963 and go awayH3212; I will take awayH5375, and none shall rescueH5337 him.
For the headH7218 of SyriaH758 is DamascusH1834, and the headH7218 of DamascusH1834 is RezinH7526; and within threescoreH8346 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 shall EphraimH669 be brokenH2865, that it be not a peopleH5971. {that…: Heb. from a people}
And the headH7218 of EphraimH669 is SamariaH8111, and the headH7218 of SamariaH8111 is Remaliah'sH7425 sonH1121. If ye will not believeH539, surely ye shall not be establishedH539. {If…: or, Do ye not believe? it is because ye are not stable}
Moreover, thou sonH1121 of manH120, takeH3947 thee oneH259 stickH6086, and writeH3789 upon it, For JudahH3063, and for the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 his companionsH2270: then takeH3947 anotherH259 stickH6086, and writeH3789 upon it, For JosephH3130, the stickH6086 of EphraimH669, and for all the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 his companionsH2270:
And joinH7126 them oneH259 to anotherH259 into oneH259 stickH6086; and they shall become oneH259 in thine handH3027.
And when the childrenH1121 of thy peopleH5971 shall speakH559 unto thee, sayingH559, Wilt thou not shewH5046 us what thou meanest by these?
SayH1696 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I will takeH3947 the stickH6086 of JosephH3130, which is in the handH3027 of EphraimH669, and the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 his fellowsH2270, and will putH5414 them with him, even with the stickH6086 of JudahH3063, and makeH6213 them oneH259 stickH6086, and they shall be oneH259 in mine handH3027.
And the sticksH6086 whereon thou writestH3789 shall be in thine handH3027 before their eyesH5869.
And sayH1696 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I will takeH3947 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 from amongH996 the heathenH1471, whither they be goneH1980, and will gatherH6908 them on every sideH5439, and bringH935 them into their own landH127:
And I will makeH6213 them oneH259 nationH1471 in the landH776 upon the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478; and oneH259 kingH4428 shall be kingH4428 to them all: and they shall beH5750 no more twoH8147 nationsH1471, neither shall they be dividedH2673 into twoH8147 kingdomsH4467 any more at all:
And JosephH3130 calledH7121 the nameH8034 of the firstbornH1060 ManassehH4519: For GodH430, said he, hath made me forgetH5382 all my toilH5999, and all my father'sH1 houseH1004. {Manasseh: that is, Forgetting}
And it came to pass afterH310 these thingsH1697, that one toldH559 JosephH3130, Behold, thy fatherH1 is sickH2470: and he tookH3947 with him his twoH8147 sonsH1121, ManassehH4519 and EphraimH669.
And one toldH5046 JacobH3290, and saidH559, Behold, thy sonH1121 JosephH3130 comethH935 unto thee: and IsraelH3478 strengthenedH2388 himself, and satH3427 upon the bedH4296.
And JacobH3290 saidH559 unto JosephH3130, GodH410 AlmightyH7706 appearedH7200 unto me at LuzH3870 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, and blessedH1288 me,
And saidH559 unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitfulH6509, and multiplyH7235 thee, and I will makeH5414 of thee a multitudeH6951 of peopleH5971; and will giveH5414 this landH776 to thy seedH2233 after theeH310 for an everlastingH5769 possessionH272.
And now thy twoH8147 sonsH1121, EphraimH669 and ManassehH4519, which were bornH3205 unto thee in the landH776 of EgyptH4714 beforeH5704 I cameH935 unto thee into EgyptH4714, are mine; as ReubenH7205 and SimeonH8095, they shall be mine.
And thy issueH4138, which thou begettestH3205 afterH310 them, shall be thine, and shall be calledH7121 afterH5921 the nameH8034 of their brethrenH251 in their inheritanceH5159.
And as for me, when I cameH935 from PadanH6307, RachelH7354 diedH4191 by me in the landH776 of CanaanH3667 in the wayH1870, whenH5750 yet there was but a littleH3530 wayH776 to comeH935 unto EphrathH672: and I buried herH6912 there in the wayH1870 of EphrathH672; the same is BethlehemH1035.
And IsraelH3478 beheldH7200 Joseph'sH3130 sonsH1121, and saidH559, Who are these?
And JosephH3130 saidH559 unto his fatherH1, They are my sonsH1121, whom GodH430 hath givenH5414 me in this place. And he saidH559, Bring themH3947, I pray thee, unto me, and I will blessH1288 them.
Now the eyesH5869 of IsraelH3478 were dimH3513 for ageH2207, so that he couldH3201 not seeH7200. And he brought them nearH5066 unto him; and he kissedH5401 them, and embracedH2263 them. {dim: Heb. heavy}
And IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto JosephH3130, I had not thoughtH6419 to seeH7200 thy faceH6440: and, lo, GodH430 hath shewedH7200 me also thy seedH2233.
And JosephH3130 brought them outH3318 from betweenH5973 his kneesH1290, and he bowedH7812 himself with his faceH639 to the earthH776.
And JosephH3130 tookH3947 them bothH8147, EphraimH669 in his right handH3225 toward Israel'sH3478 left handH8040, and ManassehH4519 in his left handH8040 toward Israel'sH3478 right handH3225, and brought them nearH5066 unto him.
And IsraelH3478 stretched outH7971 his right handH3225, and laidH7896 it upon Ephraim'sH669 headH7218, who was the youngerH6810, and his left handH8040 upon Manasseh'sH4519 headH7218, guidingH7919 his handsH3027 wittinglyH7919; for ManassehH4519 was the firstbornH1060.
And he blessedH1288 JosephH3130, and saidH559, GodH430, beforeH6440 whom my fathersH1 AbrahamH85 and IsaacH3327 did walkH1980, the GodH430 which fedH7462 me all my life longH5750 unto this dayH3117,
The AngelH4397 which redeemedH1350 me from all evilH7451, blessH1288 the ladsH5288; and let my nameH8034 be namedH7121 on them, and the nameH8034 of my fathersH1 AbrahamH85 and IsaacH3327; and let them growH1711 into a multitudeH7230 in the midstH7130 of the earthH776. {grow: Heb. as fishes do increase}
And when JosephH3130 sawH7200 that his fatherH1 laidH7896 his rightH3225 handH3027 upon the headH7218 of EphraimH669, it displeasedH3415+H5869 him: and he held upH8551 his father'sH1 handH3027, to removeH5493 it from Ephraim'sH669 headH7218 unto Manasseh'sH4519 headH7218. {displeased…: was evil in his eyes}
And JosephH3130 saidH559 unto his fatherH1, Not so, my fatherH1: for this is the firstbornH1060; putH7760 thy right handH3225 upon his headH7218.
And his fatherH1 refusedH3985, and saidH559, I knowH3045 it, my sonH1121, I knowH3045 it: he also shall become a peopleH5971, and he also shall be greatH1431: but trulyH199 his youngerH6996 brotherH251 shall be greaterH1431 than he, and his seedH2233 shall become a multitudeH4393 of nationsH1471. {multitude: Heb. fulness}
And he blessedH1288 them that dayH3117, sayingH559, In thee shall IsraelH3478 blessH1288, sayingH559, GodH430 makeH7760 thee as EphraimH669 and as ManassehH4519: and he setH7760 EphraimH669 beforeH6440 ManassehH4519.
And JosephH3130 sawH7200 Ephraim'sH669 childrenH1121 of the thirdH8029 generation: the childrenH1121 also of MachirH4353 the sonH1121 of ManassehH4519 were brought upH3205 upon Joseph'sH3130 kneesH1290. {brought…: Heb. born}
His gloryH1926 is like the firstlingH1060 of his bullockH7794, and his hornsH7161 are like the hornsH7161 of unicornsH7214: with them he shall pushH5055 the peopleH5971 togetherH3162 to the endsH657 of the earthH776: and they are the ten thousandsH7233 of EphraimH669, and they are the thousandsH505 of ManassehH4519. {unicorns: Heb. an unicorn}
The sonsH1121 of ReubenH7205, and the GaditesH1425, and halfH2677 the tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519, of valiant menH2428, menH582 able to bearH5375 bucklerH4043 and swordH2719, and to shootH1869 with bowH7198, and skilfulH3925 in warH4421, were fourH702 and fortyH705 thousandH505 sevenH7651 hundredH3967 and threescoreH8346, that went outH3318 to the warH6635. {valiant…: Heb. sons of valour}
And they madeH6213 warH4421 with the HagaritesH1905, with JeturH3195, and NephishH5305, and NodabH5114.
And they were helpedH5826 against them, and the HagaritesH1905 were deliveredH5414 into their handH3027, and all that were with them: for they criedH2199 to GodH430 in the battleH4421, and he was intreatedH6279 of them; because they put their trustH982 in him.
And they took awayH7617 their cattleH4735; of their camelsH1581 fiftyH2572 thousandH505, and of sheepH6629 two hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572 thousandH505, and of assesH2543 two thousandH505, and of menH120+H5315 an hundredH3967 thousandH505. {took…: Heb. led captive} {men: Heb. souls of men}
For there fellH5307 down manyH7227 slainH2491, because the warH4421 was of GodH430. And they dweltH3427 in their steads until the captivityH1473.
And the childrenH1121 of the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519 dweltH3427 in the landH776: they increasedH7235 from BashanH1316 unto BaalhermonH1179 and SenirH8149, and unto mountH2022 HermonH2768.
And these were the headsH7218 of the houseH1004 of their fathersH1, even EpherH6081, and IshiH3469, and ElielH447, and AzrielH5837, and JeremiahH3414, and HodaviahH1938, and JahdielH3164, mightyH1368 menH582 of valourH2428, famousH8034 menH582, and headsH7218 of the houseH1004 of their fathersH1. {famous…: Heb. men of names}
And they transgressedH4603 against the GodH430 of their fathersH1, and went a whoringH2181 afterH310 the godsH430 of the peopleH5971 of the landH776, whom GodH430 destroyedH8045 beforeH6440 them.
And the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 stirred upH5782 the spiritH7307 of PulH6322 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, and the spiritH7307 of TilgathpilneserH8407 kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, and he carried them awayH1540, even the ReubenitesH7206, and the GaditesH1425, and the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519, and broughtH935 them unto HalahH2477, and HaborH2249, and HaraH2024, and to the riverH5104 GozanH1470, unto this dayH3117.
Nevertheless diversH582 of AsherH836 and ManassehH4519 and of ZebulunH2074 humbledH3665 themselves, and cameH935 to JerusalemH3389.
BeforeH6440 EphraimH669 and BenjaminH1144 and ManassehH4519 stir upH5782 thy strengthH1369, and comeH3212 and saveH3444 us. {come…: Heb. come for salvation to us}
Then the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150 shall set forwardH5265 with the campH4264 of the LevitesH3881 in the midstH8432 of the campH4264: as they encampH2583, so shall they set forwardH5265, every manH376 in his placeH3027 by their standardsH1714.
On the west sideH3220 shall be the standardH1714 of the campH4264 of EphraimH669 according to their armiesH6635: and the captainH5387 of the sonsH1121 of EphraimH669 shall be ElishamaH476 the sonH1121 of AmmihudH5989.
And his hostH6635, and those that were numberedH6485 of them, were fortyH705 thousandH505 and fiveH2568 hundredH3967.
And by him shall be the tribeH4294 of ManassehH4519: and the captainH5387 of the childrenH1121 of ManassehH4519 shall be GamalielH1583 the sonH1121 of PedahzurH6301.
And his hostH6635, and those that were numberedH6485 of them, were thirtyH7970 and twoH8147 thousandH505 and two hundredH3967.
Then the tribeH4294 of BenjaminH1144: and the captainH5387 of the sonsH1121 of BenjaminH1144 shall be AbidanH27 the sonH1121 of GideoniH1441.
OfG1537 the tribeG5443 of AserG768 were sealedG4972 twelveG1427 thousandG5505. OfG1537 the tribeG5443 of NepthalimG3508 were sealedG4972 twelveG1427 thousandG5505. OfG1537 the tribeG5443 of ManassesG3128 were sealedG4972 twelveG1427 thousandG5505.
