Versliste
And I spakeH559 unto you at that timeH6256, sayingH559, I am not ableH3201 to bearH5375 you myself aloneH905:
The LORDH3068 your GodH430 hath multipliedH7235 you, and, behold, ye are this dayH3117 as the starsH3556 of heavenH8064 for multitudeH7230.
(The LORDH3068 GodH430 of your fathersH1 make you a thousandH505 timesH6471 so many more asH3254 ye are, and blessH1288 you, as he hath promisedH1696 you!)
HowH349 can I myself alone bearH5375 your cumbranceH2960, and your burdenH4853, and your strifeH7379?
TakeH3051 you wiseH2450 menH582, and understandingH995, and knownH3045 among your tribesH7626, and I will makeH7760 them rulersH7218 over you. {Take: Heb. Give}
And ye answeredH6030 me, and saidH559, The thingH1697 which thou hast spokenH1696 is goodH2896 for us to doH6213.
So I tookH3947 the chiefH7218 of your tribesH7626, wiseH2450 menH582, and knownH3045, and madeH5414 them headsH7218 over you, captainsH8269 over thousandsH505, and captainsH8269 over hundredsH3967, and captainsH8269 over fiftiesH2572, and captainsH8269 over tensH6235, and officersH7860 among your tribesH7626. {made: Heb. gave}
And I chargedH6680 your judgesH8199 at that timeH6256, sayingH559, HearH8085 the causes between your brethrenH251, and judgeH8199 righteouslyH6664 between every manH376 and his brotherH251, and the strangerH1616 that is with him.
Ye shall not respectH5234 personsH6440 in judgmentH4941; but ye shall hearH8085 the smallH6996 as well as the greatH1419; ye shall not be afraidH1481 of the faceH6440 of manH376; for the judgmentH4941 is God'sH430: and the causeH1697 that is too hardH7185 for you, bringH7126 it unto me, and I will hearH8085 it. {respect…: Heb. acknowledge faces}
And I commandedH6680 you at that timeH6256 all the thingsH1697 which ye should doH6213.
(Now the manH376 MosesH4872 was veryH3966 meekH6035+H6035, above all the menH120 which were upon the faceH6440 of the earthH127.)
AndG1161 inG1722 thoseG5025 daysG2250, when the numberG4129 of the disciplesG3101 was multipliedG4129, there aroseG1096 a murmuringG1112 of the GreciansG1675 againstG4314 the HebrewsG1445, becauseG3754 theirG846 widowsG5503 were neglectedG3865 inG1722 the dailyG2522 ministrationG1248.
ThenG1161 the twelveG1427 calledG4341 the multitudeG4128 of the disciplesG3101 unto them, and saidG2036, It isG2076 notG3756 reasonG701 that weG2248 should leaveG2641 the wordG3056 of GodG2316, and serveG1247 tablesG5132.
WhereforeG3767, brethrenG80, look ye outG1980 amongG1537 youG5216 sevenG2033 menG435 of honest reportG3140, fullG4134 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151 andG2532 wisdomG4678, whomG3739 we may appointG2525 overG1909 thisG5026 businessG5532.
ButG1161 weG2249 will give ourselves continuallyG4342 to prayerG4335, andG2532 to the ministryG1248 of the wordG3056.
AndG2532 the sayingG3056 pleasedG700+G1799 the wholeG3956 multitudeG4128: andG2532 they choseG1586 StephenG4736, a manG435 fullG4134 of faithG4102 andG2532 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151, andG2532 PhilipG5376, andG2532 ProchorusG4402, andG2532 NicanorG3527, andG2532 TimonG5096, andG2532 ParmenasG3937, andG2532 NicolasG3532 a proselyteG4339 of AntiochG491:
WhomG3739 they setG2476 beforeG1799 the apostlesG652: andG2532 when they had prayedG4336, they laidG2007 their handsG5495 onG2007 themG846.
When JethroH3503, the priestH3548 of MidianH4080, Moses'H4872 father in lawH2859, heardH8085 of all that GodH430 had doneH6213 for MosesH4872, and for IsraelH3478 his peopleH5971, and that the LORDH3068 had broughtH3318 IsraelH3478 out of EgyptH4714;
Then JethroH3503, Moses'H4872 father in lawH2859, tookH3947 ZipporahH6855, Moses'H4872 wifeH802, afterH310 he had sent her backH7964,
And her twoH8147 sonsH1121; of which the nameH8034 of the oneH259 was GershomH1647; for he saidH559, I have been an alienH1616 in a strangeH5237 landH776: {Gershom: that is A stranger there}
And the nameH8034 of the otherH259 was EliezerH461; for the GodH430 of my fatherH1, said he, was mine helpH5828, and deliveredH5337 me from the swordH2719 of PharaohH6547: {Eliezer: that is, My God is an help}
And JethroH3503, Moses'H4872 father in lawH2859, cameH935 with his sonsH1121 and his wifeH802 unto MosesH4872 into the wildernessH4057, where he encampedH2583 at the mountH2022 of GodH430:
And he saidH559 unto MosesH4872, I thy father in lawH2859 JethroH3503 am comeH935 unto thee, and thy wifeH802, and her twoH8147 sonsH1121 with her.
And MosesH4872 went outH3318 to meetH7125 his father in lawH2859, and did obeisanceH7812, and kissedH5401 him; and they askedH7592 eachH376 otherH7453 of their welfareH7965; and they cameH935 into the tentH168. {welfare: Heb. peace}
And MosesH4872 toldH5608 his father in lawH2859 all that the LORDH3068 had doneH6213 unto PharaohH6547 and to the EgyptiansH4714 for Israel'sH3478 sakeH182, and all the travailH8513 that had comeH4672 upon them by the wayH1870, and how the LORDH3068 deliveredH5337 them. {come…: Heb. found them}
And JethroH3503 rejoicedH2302 for all the goodnessH2896 which the LORDH3068 had doneH6213 to IsraelH3478, whom he had deliveredH5337 out of the handH3027 of the EgyptiansH4714.
And JethroH3503 saidH559, BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068, who hath deliveredH5337 you out of the handH3027 of the EgyptiansH4714, and out of the handH3027 of PharaohH6547, who hath deliveredH5337 the peopleH5971 from under the handH3027 of the EgyptiansH4714.
Now I knowH3045 that the LORDH3068 is greaterH1419 than all godsH430: for in the thingH1697 wherein they dealt proudlyH2102 he was above them.
And JethroH3503, Moses'H4872 father in lawH2859, tookH3947 a burnt offeringH5930 and sacrificesH2077 for GodH430: and AaronH175 cameH935, and all the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478, to eatH398 breadH3899 with Moses'H4872 father in lawH2859 beforeH6440 GodH430.
And it came to pass on the morrowH4283, that MosesH4872 satH3427 to judgeH8199 the peopleH5971: and the peopleH5971 stoodH5975 by MosesH4872 from the morningH1242 unto the eveningH6153.
And when Moses'H4872 father in lawH2859 sawH7200 all that he didH6213 to the peopleH5971, he saidH559, What is this thingH1697 that thou doestH6213 to the peopleH5971? why sittestH3427 thou thyself alone, and all the peopleH5971 standH5324 by thee from morningH1242 unto evenH6153?
And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto his father in lawH2859, Because the peopleH5971 comeH935 unto me to enquireH1875 of GodH430:
When they have a matterH1697, they comeH935 unto me; and I judgeH8199 between oneH376 and anotherH7453, and I do make them knowH3045 the statutesH2706 of GodH430, and his lawsH8451. {one…: Heb. a man and his fellow}
And Moses'H4872 father in lawH2859 saidH559 unto him, The thingH1697 that thou doestH6213 is not goodH2896.
Thou wilt surelyH5034 wear awayH5034, both thou, and this peopleH5971 that is with thee: for this thingH1697 is too heavyH3515 for thee; thou art not ableH3201 to performH6213 it thyself alone. {Thou wilt…: Heb. Fading thou wilt fade}
HearkenH8085 now unto my voiceH6963, I will give thee counselH3289, and GodH430 shall beH1961 with thee: Be thou for the peopleH5971 to God-wardH4136+H430, that thou mayest bringH935 the causesH1697 unto GodH430:
And thou shalt teachH2094+H853 them ordinancesH2706 and lawsH8451, and shalt shewH3045 them the wayH1870 wherein they must walkH3212, and the workH4639 that they must doH6213.
Moreover thou shalt provideH2372 out of all the peopleH5971 ableH2428 menH582, such as fearH3373 GodH430, menH582 of truthH571, hatingH8130 covetousnessH1215; and placeH7760 such over them, to be rulersH8269 of thousandsH505, and rulersH8269 of hundredsH3967, rulersH8269 of fiftiesH2572, and rulersH8269 of tensH6235:
And let them judgeH8199 the peopleH5971 at all seasonsH6256: and it shall be, that every greatH1419 matterH1697 they shall bringH935 unto thee, but every smallH6996 matterH1697 they shall judgeH8199: so shall it be easierH7043 for thyself, and they shall bearH5375 the burden with thee.
If thou shalt doH6213 this thingH1697, and GodH430 commandH6680 thee so, then thou shalt be ableH3201 to endureH5975, and all this peopleH5971 shall also goH935 to their placeH4725 in peaceH7965.
So MosesH4872 hearkenedH8085 to the voiceH6963 of his father in lawH2859, and didH6213 all that he had saidH559.
And MosesH4872 choseH977 ableH2428 menH582 out of all IsraelH3478, and madeH5414 them headsH7218 over the peopleH5971, rulersH8269 of thousandsH505, rulersH8269 of hundredsH3967, rulersH8269 of fiftiesH2572, and rulersH8269 of tensH6235.
And they judgedH8199 the peopleH5971 at all seasonsH6256: the hardH7186 causesH1697 they broughtH935 unto MosesH4872, but every smallH6996 matterH1697+H1992 they judgedH8199 themselves.
And MosesH4872 let his father in lawH2859 departH7971; and he wentH3212 his way into his own landH776.
And when the peopleH5971 complainedH596, it displeasedH7451+H241 the LORDH3068: and the LORDH3068 heardH8085 it; and his angerH639 was kindledH2734; and the fireH784 of the LORDH3068 burntH1197 among them, and consumedH398 them that were in the uttermost partsH7097 of the campH4264. {complained: or, were as it were complainers} {it displeased: Heb. it was evil in the ears of}
And the peopleH5971 criedH6817 unto MosesH4872; and when MosesH4872 prayedH6419 unto the LORDH3068, the fireH784 was quenchedH8257. {was…: Heb. sunk}
And he calledH7121 the nameH8034 of theH1931 placeH4725 TaberahH8404: because the fireH784 of the LORDH3068 burntH1197 among them. {Taberah: that is, A burning}
And the mixt multitudeH628 that was amongH7130 them fell a lustingH183+H8378: and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 also weptH1058 againH7725, and saidH559, Who shall give us fleshH1320 to eatH398? {fell…: Heb. lusted a lust} {wept…: Heb. returned and wept}
We rememberH2142 the fishH1710, which we did eatH398 in EgyptH4714 freelyH2600; the cucumbersH7180, and the melonsH20, and the leeksH2682, and the onionsH1211, and the garlickH7762:
But now our soulH5315 is dried awayH3002: there is nothing at all, besideH1115 this mannaH4478, before our eyesH5869.
And the mannaH4478 was as corianderH1407 seedH2233, and the colourH5869 thereof as the colourH5869 of bdelliumH916. {colour thereof…: Heb. eye of it as the eye of}
And the peopleH5971 went aboutH7751, and gatheredH3950 it, and groundH2912 it in millsH7347, or beatH1743 it in a mortarH4085, and bakedH1310 it in pansH6517, and madeH6213 cakesH5692 of it: and the tasteH2940 of it was as the tasteH2940 of freshH3955 oilH8081.
And when the dewH2919 fellH3381 upon the campH4264 in the nightH3915, the mannaH4478 fellH3381 upon it.
Then MosesH4872 heardH8085 the peopleH5971 weepH1058 throughout their familiesH4940, every manH376 in the doorH6607 of his tentH168: and the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 was kindledH2734 greatlyH3966; MosesH4872 also was displeasedH7489+H5869.
And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto the LORDH3068, Wherefore hast thou afflictedH7489 thy servantH5650? and wherefore have I not foundH4672 favourH2580 in thy sightH5869, that thou layestH7760 the burdenH4853 of all this peopleH5971 upon me?
Have I conceivedH2029 all this peopleH5971? have I begottenH3205 them, that thou shouldest sayH559 unto me, CarryH5375 them in thy bosomH2436, as a nursing fatherH539 bearethH5375 the sucking childH3243, unto the landH127 which thou swarestH7650 unto their fathersH1?
WhenceH370 should I have fleshH1320 to giveH5414 unto all this peopleH5971? for they weepH1058 unto me, sayingH559, GiveH5414 us fleshH1320, that we may eatH398.
I am not ableH3201 to bearH5375 all this peopleH5971 aloneH905, because it is too heavyH3515 for me.
And if thou dealH6213 thus with me, killH2026 me, I pray thee, out of handH2026, if I have foundH4672 favourH2580 in thy sightH5869; and let me not seeH7200 my wretchednessH7451.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, GatherH622 unto me seventyH7657 menH376 of the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478, whom thou knowestH3045 to be the eldersH2205 of the peopleH5971, and officersH7860 over them; and bringH3947 them unto the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150, that they may standH3320 there with thee.
And I will come downH3381 and talkH1696 with thee there: and I will takeH680 of the spiritH7307 which is upon thee, and will putH7760 it upon them; and they shall bearH5375 the burdenH4853 of the peopleH5971 with thee, that thou bearH5375 it not thyself alone.
And sayH559 thou unto the peopleH5971, SanctifyH6942 yourselves against to morrowH4279, and ye shall eatH398 fleshH1320: for ye have weptH1058 in the earsH241 of the LORDH3068, sayingH559, Who shall give us fleshH1320 to eatH398? for it was wellH2895 with us in EgyptH4714: therefore the LORDH3068 will giveH5414 you fleshH1320, and ye shall eatH398.
Ye shall not eatH398 oneH259 dayH3117, nor two daysH3117, nor fiveH2568 daysH3117, neither tenH6235 daysH3117, nor twentyH6242 daysH3117;
But even a whole monthH2320+H3117, until it come outH3318 at your nostrilsH639, and it be loathsomeH2214 unto you: becauseH3282 that ye have despisedH3988 the LORDH3068 which is amongH7130 you, and have weptH1058 beforeH6440 him, sayingH559, Why came we forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714? {whole…: Heb. month of days}
And MosesH4872 saidH559, The peopleH5971, amongH7130 whom I am, are sixH8337 hundredH3967 thousandH505 footmenH7273; and thou hast saidH559, I will giveH5414 them fleshH1320, that they may eatH398 a wholeH3117 monthH2320.
Shall the flocksH6629 and the herdsH1241 be slainH7819 for them, to sufficeH4672 them? or shall all the fishH1709 of the seaH3220 be gathered togetherH622 for them, to sufficeH4672 them?
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, Is the LORD'SH3068 handH3027 waxed shortH7114? thou shalt seeH7200 now whether my wordH1697 shall come to passH7136 unto thee or not.
And MosesH4872 went outH3318, and toldH1696 the peopleH5971 the wordsH1697 of the LORDH3068, and gatheredH622 the seventyH7657 menH376 of the eldersH2205 of the peopleH5971, and setH5975 them round aboutH5439 the tabernacleH168.
And the LORDH3068 came downH3381 in a cloudH6051, and spakeH1696 unto him, and tookH680 of the spiritH7307 that was upon him, and gaveH5414 it unto the seventyH7657 eldersH2205+H376: and it came to pass, that, when the spiritH7307 restedH5117 upon them, they prophesiedH5012, and did not ceaseH3254.
But there remainedH7604 twoH8147 of the menH582 in the campH4264, the nameH8034 of the oneH259 was EldadH419, and the nameH8034 of the otherH8145 MedadH4312: and the spiritH7307 restedH5117 upon them; and they were of them that were writtenH3789, but went not outH3318 unto the tabernacleH168: and they prophesiedH5012 in the campH4264.
And there ranH7323 a young manH5288, and toldH5046 MosesH4872, and saidH559, EldadH419 and MedadH4312 do prophesyH5012 in the campH4264.
And JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126, the servantH8334 of MosesH4872, one of his young menH979, answeredH6030 and saidH559, My lordH113 MosesH4872, forbidH3607 them.
And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto him, EnviestH7065 thou for my sake? would God that all theH5414 LORD'SH3068 peopleH5971 were prophetsH5030, and that the LORDH3068 would putH5414 his spiritH7307 upon them!
And MosesH4872 gatH622 him into the campH4264, he and the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478.
And there went forthH5265 a windH7307 from the LORDH3068, and broughtH1468 quailsH7958 from the seaH3220, and let them fallH5203 by the campH4264, as it were a day'sH3117 journeyH1870 on this sideH3541, and as it were a day'sH3117 journeyH1870 on the other sideH3541, round aboutH5439 the campH4264, and as it were two cubitsH520 high upon the faceH6440 of the earthH776. {as it were a day's…: Heb. as it were the way of a day}
And the peopleH5971 stood upH6965 all that dayH3117, and all that nightH3915, and all the nextH4283 dayH3117, and they gatheredH622 the quailsH7958: he that gathered leastH4591 gatheredH622 tenH6235 homersH2563: and they spreadH7849 them all abroadH7849 for themselves round aboutH5439 the campH4264.
And while the fleshH1320 was yetH2962 between their teethH8127, ere it was chewedH3772, the wrathH639 of the LORDH3068 was kindledH2734 against the peopleH5971, and the LORDH3068 smoteH5221 the peopleH5971 with a veryH3966 greatH7227 plagueH4347.
And he calledH7121 the nameH8034 of that placeH4725 KibrothhattaavahH6914: because there they buriedH6912 the peopleH5971 that lustedH183. {Kibrothhattaavah: that is, The graves of lust}
And the peopleH5971 journeyedH5265 from KibrothhattaavahH6914 unto HazerothH2698; and abode at HazerothH2698. {abode at: Heb. they were in}
AtG1722 thatG1565 timeG2540 JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG2036, I thankG1843 theeG4671, O FatherG3962, LordG2962 of heavenG3772 andG2532 earthG1093, becauseG3754 thou hast hidG613 these thingsG5023 fromG575 the wiseG4680 andG2532 prudentG4908, andG2532 hast revealedG601 themG846 unto babesG3516.
Even soG3483, FatherG3962: forG3754 soG3779 it seemedG1096 goodG2107 in thyG4675 sightG1715.
At the mouthH6310 of twoH8147 witnessesH5707, or threeH7969 witnessesH5707, shall he that is worthy of deathH4191 be put to deathH4191; but at the mouthH6310 of oneH259 witnessH5707 he shall not be put to deathH4191.
ThisG5124 is the thirdG5154 time I am comingG2064 toG4314 youG5209. InG1909 the mouthG4750 of twoG1417 orG2532 threeG5140 witnessesG3144 shallG2476 everyG3956 wordG4487 be establishedG2476.
AgainstG2596 an elderG4245 receiveG3858 notG3361 an accusationG2724, butG1508+G1622 beforeG1909 twoG1417 orG2228 threeG5140 witnessesG3144. {before: or, under}
