When the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath cut offH3772 the nationsH1471, whose landH776 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee, and thou succeedestH3423 them, and dwellestH3427 in their citiesH5892, and in their housesH1004; {succeedest: Heb. inheritest, or, possessest}
Thou shalt separateH914 threeH7969 citiesH5892 for thee in the midstH8432 of thy landH776, which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee to possessH3423 it.
Thou shalt prepareH3559 thee a wayH1870, and divide the coastsH1366 of thy landH776, which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 giveth thee to inheritH5157, into three partsH8027, that every slayerH7523 may fleeH5127 thither.
And this is the caseH1697 of the slayerH7523, which shall fleeH5127 thither, that he may liveH2425: Whoso killethH5221 his neighbourH7453 ignorantlyH1097+H1847, whom he hatedH8130 not in timeH8543 pastH8032; {in…: Heb. from yesterday the third day}
As when a man goethH935 into the woodH3293 with his neighbourH7453 to hewH2404 woodH6086, and his handH3027 fetcheth a strokeH5080 with the axeH1631 to cut downH3772 the treeH6086, and the headH1270 slippethH5394 from the helveH6086, and lightethH4672 upon his neighbourH7453, that he dieH4191; he shall fleeH5127 unto oneH259 of those citiesH5892, and liveH2425: {head: Heb. iron} {helve: Heb. wood} {lighteth…: Heb. findeth}
Lest the avengerH1350 of the bloodH1818 pursueH7291 the slayerH310+H7523, whileH3588 his heartH3824 is hotH3179, and overtakeH5381 him, because the wayH1870 is longH7235, and slayH5221 himH5315; whereas he was not worthyH4941 of deathH4194, inasmuch asH3588 he hatedH8130 him not in timeH8543 pastH8032. {slay…: Heb. smite him in life} {in…: Heb. from yesterday the third day}
Wherefore I commandH6680 thee, sayingH559, Thou shalt separateH914 threeH7969 citiesH5892 for thee.
And if the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 enlargeH7337 thy coastH1366, as he hath swornH7650 unto thy fathersH1, and giveH5414 thee all the landH776 which he promisedH1696 to giveH5414 unto thy fathersH1;
If thou shalt keepH8104 all these commandmentsH4687 to doH6213 them, which I commandH6680 thee this dayH3117, to loveH157 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, and to walkH3212 everH3117 in his waysH1870; then shalt thou addH3254 threeH7969 citiesH5892 more for thee, beside these threeH7969:
That innocentH5355 bloodH1818 be not shedH8210 inH7130 thy landH776, which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee for an inheritanceH5159, and so bloodH1818 be upon thee.
But if any manH376 hateH8130 his neighbourH7453, and lie in waitH693 for him, and rise upH6965 against him, and smiteH5221 him mortallyH5315 that he dieH4191, and fleethH5127 into oneH259 of theseH411 citiesH5892: {mortally: Heb. in life}
Then the eldersH2205 of his cityH5892 shall sendH7971 and fetchH3947 him thence, and deliverH5414 him into the handH3027 of the avengerH1350 of bloodH1818, that he may dieH4191.
Thine eyeH5869 shall not pityH2347 him, but thou shalt put awayH1197 the guilt of innocentH5355 bloodH1818 from IsraelH3478, that it may go wellH2895 with thee.
Then MosesH4872 severedH914 threeH7969 citiesH5892 on this sideH5676 JordanH3383 toward the sunrisingH8121+H4217;
That the slayerH7523 might fleeH5127 thither, which should killH7523 his neighbourH7453 unawaresH1097+H1847, and hatedH8130 him not in timesH8543 pastH8032; and that fleeingH5127 unto oneH259 of theseH411 citiesH5892 he might liveH2425:
Namely, BezerH1221 in the wildernessH4057, in the plainH4334 countryH776, of the ReubenitesH7206; and RamothH7216 in GileadH1568, of the GaditesH1425; and GolanH1474 in BashanH1316, of the ManassitesH4520.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872, sayingH559,
SpeakH1696 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and sayH559 unto them, When ye be come overH5674 JordanH3383 into the landH776 of CanaanH3667;
Then ye shall appointH7136 you citiesH5892 to be citiesH5892 of refugeH4733 for you; that the slayerH7523 may fleeH5127 thither, which killethH5221 any personH5315 at unawaresH7684. {at…: Heb. by error}
And they shall be unto you citiesH5892 for refugeH4733 from the avengerH1350; that the manslayerH7523 dieH4191 not, until he standH5975 beforeH6440 the congregationH5712 in judgmentH4941.
And of these citiesH5892 which ye shall giveH5414 sixH8337 citiesH5892 shall ye have for refugeH4733.
Ye shall giveH5414 threeH7969 citiesH5892 on this sideH5676 JordanH3383, and threeH7969 citiesH5892 shall ye giveH5414 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, which shall be citiesH5892 of refugeH4733.
These sixH8337 citiesH5892 shall be a refugeH4733, both for the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and for the strangerH1616, and for the sojournerH8453 amongH8432 them: that every one that killethH5221 any personH5315 unawaresH7684 may fleeH5127 thither.
And if he smiteH5221 him with an instrumentH3627 of ironH1270, so that he dieH4191, he is a murdererH7523: the murdererH7523 shall surelyH4191 be put to deathH4191.
And if he smiteH5221 him with throwingH3027 a stoneH68, wherewith he may dieH4191, and he dieH4191, he is a murdererH7523: the murdererH7523 shall surelyH4191 be put to deathH4191. {with…: Heb. with a stone of the hand}
Or if he smiteH5221 him with an handH3027 weaponH3627 of woodH6086, wherewith he may dieH4191, and he dieH4191, he is a murdererH7523: the murdererH7523 shall surelyH4191 be put to deathH4191.
The revengerH1350 of bloodH1818 himself shall slayH4191 the murdererH7523: when he meetethH6293 him, heH1931 shall slayH4191 him.
But if he thrustH1920 him of hatredH8135, or hurlH7993 at him by laying of waitH6660, that he dieH4191;
Or in enmityH342 smiteH5221 him with his handH3027, that he dieH4191: he that smoteH5221 him shall surelyH4191 be put to deathH4191; for he is a murdererH7523: the revengerH1350 of bloodH1818 shall slayH4191 the murdererH7523, when he meetethH6293 him.
But if he thrustH1920 him suddenlyH6621 withoutH3808 enmityH342, or have castH7993 upon him any thingH3627 without laying of waitH6660,
Or with any stoneH68, wherewith a man may dieH4191, seeingH7200 him notH3808, and castH5307 it upon him, that he dieH4191, and was not his enemyH341, neither soughtH1245 his harmH7451:
Then the congregationH5712 shall judgeH8199 between the slayerH5221 and the revengerH1350 of bloodH1818 according to these judgmentsH4941:
And the congregationH5712 shall deliverH5337 the slayerH7523 out of the handH3027 of the revengerH1350 of bloodH1818, and the congregationH5712 shall restoreH7725 him to the cityH5892 of his refugeH4733, whither he was fledH5127: and he shall abideH3427 in it unto the deathH4194 of the highH1419 priestH3548, which was anointedH4886 with the holyH6944 oilH8081.
But if the slayerH7523 shall at any timeH3318 comeH3318 without the borderH1366 of the cityH5892 of his refugeH4733, whither he was fledH5127;
And the revengerH1350 of bloodH1818 findH4672 him withoutH2351 the bordersH1366 of the cityH5892 of his refugeH4733, and the revengerH1350 of bloodH1818 killH7523 the slayerH7523; he shall not be guilty of bloodH1818: {he…: Heb. no blood shall be to him}
Because he should have remainedH3427 in the cityH5892 of his refugeH4733 until the deathH4194 of the highH1419 priestH3548: but afterH310 the deathH4194 of the highH1419 priestH3548 the slayerH7523 shall returnH7725 into the landH776 of his possessionH272.
So these things shall be for a statuteH2708 of judgmentH4941 unto you throughout your generationsH1755 in all your dwellingsH4186.
Whoso killethH5221 any personH5315, the murdererH7523 shall be put to deathH7523 by the mouthH6310 of witnessesH5707: but oneH259 witnessH5707 shall not testifyH6030 against any personH5315 to cause him to dieH4191.
Moreover ye shall takeH3947 no satisfactionH3724 for the lifeH5315 of a murdererH7523, which is guiltyH7563 of deathH4191: but he shall be surelyH4191 put to deathH4191. {guilty…: Heb. faulty to die}
And ye shall takeH3947 no satisfactionH3724 for him that is fledH5127 to the cityH5892 of his refugeH4733, that he should come againH7725 to dwellH3427 in the landH776, until the deathH4194 of the priestH3548.
So ye shall not polluteH2610 the landH776 wherein ye are: for bloodH1818 it defilethH2610 the landH776: and the landH776 cannot be cleansedH3722 of the bloodH1818 that is shedH8210 therein, but by the bloodH1818 of him that shedH8210 it. {the land cannot…: Heb. there can be no expiation for the land}
DefileH2930 not therefore the landH776 which ye shall inhabitH3427, whereinH8432 I dwellH7931: for I the LORDH3068 dwellH7931 amongH8432 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And they appointedH6942 KedeshH6943 in GalileeH1551 in mountH2022 NaphtaliH5321, and ShechemH7927 in mountH2022 EphraimH669, and KirjatharbaH7153, which is HebronH2275, in the mountainH2022 of JudahH3063. {appointed: Heb. sanctified}
The voiceH6963 of him that criethH7121 in the wildernessH4057, PrepareH6437 ye the wayH1870 of the LORDH3068, make straightH3474 in the desertH6160 a highwayH4546 for our GodH430.
Every valleyH1516 shall be exaltedH5375, and every mountainH2022 and hillH1389 shall be made lowH8213: and the crookedH6121 shall be made straightH4334, and the rough placesH7406 plainH1237: {straight: or, a straight place} {plain: or, a plain place}
For manH120 also knowethH3045 not his timeH6256: as the fishesH1709 that are takenH270 in an evilH7451 netH4685, and as the birdsH6833 that are caughtH270 in the snareH6341; soH1992 are the sonsH1121 of menH120 snaredH3369 in an evilH7451 timeH6256, when it fallethH5307 suddenlyH6597 upon them.
And ye shall takeH3947 no satisfactionH3724 for him that is fledH5127 to the cityH5892 of his refugeH4733, that he should come againH7725 to dwellH3427 in the landH776, until the deathH4194 of the priestH3548.
AndG5037 with manyG4119 otherG2087 wordsG3056 did he testifyG1263 andG2532 exhortG3870, sayingG3004, Save yourselvesG4982 fromG575 thisG5026 untowardG4646 generationG1074.
HimG5126, being deliveredG1560 by the determinateG3724 counselG1012 andG2532 foreknowledgeG4268 of GodG2316, ye have takenG2983, and byG1223 wickedG459 handsG5495 have crucifiedG4362 and slainG337:
AndG2532 nowG3568, brethrenG80, I wotG1492 thatG3754 throughG2596 ignoranceG52 ye didG4238 it, asG5618 did alsoG2532 yourG5216 rulersG758.
Repent yeG3340 thereforeG3767, andG2532 be convertedG1994, thatG1519 yourG5216 sinsG266 may be blotted outG1813, whenG3704 the timesG2540 of refreshingG403 shall comeG302+G2064 fromG575 the presenceG4383 of the LordG2962;
AndG2532 he shall sendG649 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, which before was preachedG4296 unto youG5213:
WhomG3739 the heavenG3772+G3303 mustG1163 receiveG1209 untilG891 the timesG5550 of restitutionG605 of all thingsG3956, whichG3739 GodG2316 hath spokenG2980 byG1223 the mouthG4750 of allG3956 hisG846 holyG40 prophetsG4396 sinceG575 the world beganG165.
ThenG1161 saidG3004 JesusG2424, FatherG3962, forgiveG863 themG846; forG1063 they knowG1492 notG3756 whatG5101 they doG4160. AndG1161 they partedG1266 hisG846 raimentG2440, and castG906 lotsG2819.
WhoG3588 wasG5607 beforeG4386 a blasphemerG989, andG2532 a persecutorG1376, andG2532 injuriousG5197: butG235 I obtained mercyG1653, becauseG3754 I didG4160 it ignorantlyG50 inG1722 unbeliefG570.
The LORDH3068 thy GodH430 will raise upH6965 unto thee a ProphetH5030 from the midstH7130 of thee, of thy brethrenH251, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearkenH8085;
According to all that thou desiredstH7592 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 in HorebH2722 in the dayH3117 of the assemblyH6951, sayingH559, Let me not hearH8085 againH3254 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 my GodH430, neither let me seeH7200 this greatH1419 fireH784 any more, that I dieH4191 not.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, They have wellH3190 spoken that which they have spokenH1696.
I will raise them upH6965 a ProphetH5030 from amongH7130 their brethrenH251, like unto thee, and will putH5414 my wordsH1697 in his mouthH6310; and he shall speakH1696 unto them all that I shall commandH6680 him.
And it shall come to pass, that whosoeverH376 will not hearkenH8085 unto my wordsH1697 which he shall speakH1696 in my nameH8034, I will requireH1875 it of him.
The priestsH3548 the LevitesH3881, and all the tribeH7626 of LeviH3878, shall have no partH2506 nor inheritanceH5159 with IsraelH3478: they shall eatH398 the offeringsH801 of the LORDH3068 made by fireH801, and his inheritanceH5159.
Therefore shall they have no inheritanceH5159 amongH7130 their brethrenH251: the LORDH3068 is their inheritanceH5159, as he hath saidH1696 unto them.
And this shall be the priest'sH3548 dueH4941 from the peopleH5971, from them that offerH2076 a sacrificeH2077, whether it be oxH7794 or sheepH7716; and they shall giveH5414 unto the priestH3548 the shoulderH2220, and the two cheeksH3895, and the mawH6896.
The firstfruitH7225 also of thy cornH1715, of thy wineH8492, and of thine oilH3323, and the firstH7225 of the fleeceH1488 of thy sheepH6629, shalt thou giveH5414 him.
For the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath chosenH977 him out of all thy tribesH7626, to standH5975 to ministerH8334 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, him and his sonsH1121 for everH3117.
And if a LeviteH3881 comeH935 from anyH259 of thy gatesH8179 out of all IsraelH3478, where he sojournedH1481, and comeH935 with all the desireH185 of his mindH5315 unto the placeH4725 which the LORDH3068 shall chooseH977;
Then he shall ministerH8334 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 his GodH430, as all his brethrenH251 the LevitesH3881 do, which standH5975 there beforeH6440 the LORDH3068.
They shall have like portionsH2506 to eatH398, beside that which cometh of the saleH4465 of his patrimonyH1. {that…: Heb. his sale by the fathers}
When thou art comeH935 into the landH776 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee, thou shalt not learnH3925 to doH6213 after the abominationsH8441 of those nationsH1471.
There shall not be foundH4672 among you any one that maketh his sonH1121 or his daughterH1323 to passH5674 through the fireH784, or that usethH7080 divinationH7081, or an observer of timesH6049, or an enchanterH5172, or a witchH3784,
Or a charmerH2266+H2267, or a consulterH7592 with familiar spiritsH178, or a wizardH3049, or a necromancerH1875+H4191.
For all that doH6213 these things are an abominationH8441 unto the LORDH3068: and becauseH1558 of these abominationsH8441 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 doth drive them outH3423 from beforeH6440 thee.
Thou shalt be perfectH8549 with the LORDH3068 thy GodH430. {perfect: or, upright, or, sincere}
For these nationsH1471, which thou shalt possessH3423, hearkenedH8085 unto observers of timesH6049, and unto divinersH7080: but as for thee, the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath not sufferedH5414 thee so to do. {possess: or, inherit}
The LORDH3068 thy GodH430 will raise upH6965 unto thee a ProphetH5030 from the midstH7130 of thee, of thy brethrenH251, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearkenH8085;
According to all that thou desiredstH7592 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 in HorebH2722 in the dayH3117 of the assemblyH6951, sayingH559, Let me not hearH8085 againH3254 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 my GodH430, neither let me seeH7200 this greatH1419 fireH784 any more, that I dieH4191 not.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, They have wellH3190 spoken that which they have spokenH1696.
I will raise them upH6965 a ProphetH5030 from amongH7130 their brethrenH251, like unto thee, and will putH5414 my wordsH1697 in his mouthH6310; and he shall speakH1696 unto them all that I shall commandH6680 him.
And it shall come to pass, that whosoeverH376 will not hearkenH8085 unto my wordsH1697 which he shall speakH1696 in my nameH8034, I will requireH1875 it of him.
But the prophetH5030, which shall presumeH2102 to speakH1696 a wordH1697 in my nameH8034, which I have not commandedH6680 him to speakH1696, or that shall speakH1696 in the nameH8034 of otherH312 godsH430, even that prophetH5030 shall dieH4191.
And if thou sayH559 in thine heartH3824, How shall we knowH3045 the wordH1697 which the LORDH3068 hath not spokenH1696?
When a prophetH5030 speakethH1696 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, if the thingH1697 follow not, nor come to passH935, that is the thingH1697 which the LORDH3068 hath not spokenH1696, but the prophetH5030 hath spokenH1696 it presumptuouslyH2087: thou shalt not be afraidH1481 of him.
ForG1063 MosesG3475 trulyG3303 saidG2036 untoG4314 the fathersG3962+G3754, A prophetG4396 shallG450 the LordG2962 yourG5216 GodG2316 raise upG450 unto youG5213 ofG1537 yourG5216 brethrenG80, likeG5613 unto meG1691; himG846 shall ye hearG191 inG2596 all thingsG3956 whatsoeverG3745+G302 he shall sayG2980 untoG4314 youG5209.
ButG1161 yeG5210 deniedG720 the Holy OneG40 andG2532 the JustG1342, andG2532 desiredG154 a murdererG5406+G435 to be grantedG5483 unto youG5213;
AndG1161 killedG615 the PrinceG747 of lifeG2222, whomG3739 GodG2316 hath raisedG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498; whereofG3739 weG2249 areG2070 witnessesG3144. {Prince: or, Author}
AndG2532 hisG846 nameG3686 throughG1909 faithG4102 in hisG846 nameG3686 hath madeG4732 this manG5026 strongG4732, whomG3739 ye seeG2334 andG2532 knowG1492: yeaG2532, the faithG4102 which isG1325 byG1223 himG846 hath givenG1325 himG846 thisG5126 perfect soundnessG3647 in the presenceG561 of youG5216 allG3956.
AndG2532 nowG3568, brethrenG80, I wotG1492 thatG3754 throughG2596 ignoranceG52 ye didG4238 it, asG5618 did alsoG2532 yourG5216 rulersG758.
When the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath cut offH3772 the nationsH1471, whose landH776 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee, and thou succeedestH3423 them, and dwellestH3427 in their citiesH5892, and in their housesH1004; {succeedest: Heb. inheritest, or, possessest}
Thou shalt separateH914 threeH7969 citiesH5892 for thee in the midstH8432 of thy landH776, which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee to possessH3423 it.
Thou shalt prepareH3559 thee a wayH1870, and divide the coastsH1366 of thy landH776, which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 giveth thee to inheritH5157, into three partsH8027, that every slayerH7523 may fleeH5127 thither.
And this is the caseH1697 of the slayerH7523, which shall fleeH5127 thither, that he may liveH2425: Whoso killethH5221 his neighbourH7453 ignorantlyH1097+H1847, whom he hatedH8130 not in timeH8543 pastH8032; {in…: Heb. from yesterday the third day}
As when a man goethH935 into the woodH3293 with his neighbourH7453 to hewH2404 woodH6086, and his handH3027 fetcheth a strokeH5080 with the axeH1631 to cut downH3772 the treeH6086, and the headH1270 slippethH5394 from the helveH6086, and lightethH4672 upon his neighbourH7453, that he dieH4191; he shall fleeH5127 unto oneH259 of those citiesH5892, and liveH2425: {head: Heb. iron} {helve: Heb. wood} {lighteth…: Heb. findeth}
Lest the avengerH1350 of the bloodH1818 pursueH7291 the slayerH310+H7523, whileH3588 his heartH3824 is hotH3179, and overtakeH5381 him, because the wayH1870 is longH7235, and slayH5221 himH5315; whereas he was not worthyH4941 of deathH4194, inasmuch asH3588 he hatedH8130 him not in timeH8543 pastH8032. {slay…: Heb. smite him in life} {in…: Heb. from yesterday the third day}
Wherefore I commandH6680 thee, sayingH559, Thou shalt separateH914 threeH7969 citiesH5892 for thee.
And if the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 enlargeH7337 thy coastH1366, as he hath swornH7650 unto thy fathersH1, and giveH5414 thee all the landH776 which he promisedH1696 to giveH5414 unto thy fathersH1;
If thou shalt keepH8104 all these commandmentsH4687 to doH6213 them, which I commandH6680 thee this dayH3117, to loveH157 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, and to walkH3212 everH3117 in his waysH1870; then shalt thou addH3254 threeH7969 citiesH5892 more for thee, beside these threeH7969:
That innocentH5355 bloodH1818 be not shedH8210 inH7130 thy landH776, which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee for an inheritanceH5159, and so bloodH1818 be upon thee.
But if any manH376 hateH8130 his neighbourH7453, and lie in waitH693 for him, and rise upH6965 against him, and smiteH5221 him mortallyH5315 that he dieH4191, and fleethH5127 into oneH259 of theseH411 citiesH5892: {mortally: Heb. in life}
Then the eldersH2205 of his cityH5892 shall sendH7971 and fetchH3947 him thence, and deliverH5414 him into the handH3027 of the avengerH1350 of bloodH1818, that he may dieH4191.
Thine eyeH5869 shall not pityH2347 him, but thou shalt put awayH1197 the guilt of innocentH5355 bloodH1818 from IsraelH3478, that it may go wellH2895 with thee.
Thou shalt not removeH5253 thy neighbour'sH7453 landmarkH1366, which they of old timeH7223 have setH1379 in thine inheritanceH5159, which thou shalt inheritH5157 in the landH776 that the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee to possessH3423 it.
OneH259 witnessH5707 shall not rise upH6965 against a manH376 for any iniquityH5771, or for any sinH2403, in any sinH2399 that he sinnethH2398: at the mouthH6310 of twoH8147 witnessesH5707, or at the mouthH6310 of threeH7969 witnessesH5707, shall the matterH1697 be establishedH6965.
If a falseH2555 witnessH5707 rise upH6965 against any manH376 to testifyH6030 against him that which is wrongH5627; {that…: or, falling away}
Then bothH8147 the menH582, between whom the controversyH7379 is, shall standH5975 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, beforeH6440 the priestsH3548 and the judgesH8199, which shall be in those daysH3117;
And the judgesH8199 shall make diligentH3190 inquisitionH1875: and, behold, if the witnessH5707 be a falseH8267 witnessH5707, and hath testifiedH6030 falselyH8267 against his brotherH251;
Then shall ye doH6213 unto him, as he had thoughtH2161 to have doneH6213 unto his brotherH251: so shalt thou putH1197 the evilH7451 awayH1197 from amongH7130 you.
And those which remainH7604 shall hearH8085, and fearH3372, and shall henceforthH3254 commitH6213 no more anyH1697 such evilH7451 amongH7130 you.
And thine eyeH5869 shall not pityH2347; but lifeH5315 shall go for lifeH5315, eyeH5869 for eyeH5869, toothH8127 for toothH8127, handH3027 for handH3027, footH7272 for footH7272.
The LORDH3068 thy GodH430 will raise upH6965 unto thee a ProphetH5030 from the midstH7130 of thee, of thy brethrenH251, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearkenH8085;
ThisG3778 isG2076 that MosesG3475, whichG3588 saidG2036 unto the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474, A prophetG4396 shallG450 the LordG2962 yourG5216 GodG2316 raise upG450 unto youG5213 ofG1537 yourG5216 brethrenG80, likeG5613 unto meG1691; himG846 shall ye hearG191. {like…: or, as myself}
Ye stiffneckedG4644 andG2532 uncircumcisedG564 in heartG2588 andG2532 earsG3775, yeG5210 doG496 alwaysG104 resistG496 the HolyG40 GhostG4151: asG5613 yourG5216 fathersG3962 did, soG2532 do yeG5210.
WhichG5101 of the prophetsG4396 haveG1377 notG3756 yourG5216 fathersG3962 persecutedG1377? andG2532 they have slainG615 them whichG3588 shewed beforeG4293 ofG4012 the comingG1660 of the Just OneG1342; of whomG3739 yeG5210 have beenG1096 nowG3568 the betrayersG4273 andG2532 murderersG5406:
(ForG1063 manyG4183 walkG4043, of whomG3739 I have toldG3004 youG5213 oftenG4178, andG1161 nowG3568 tellG3004 you evenG2532 weepingG2799, that they are the enemiesG2190 of the crossG4716 of ChristG5547:
WhoseG3739 endG5056 is destructionG684, whoseG3739 GodG2316 is their bellyG2836, andG2532 whose gloryG1391 is inG1722 theirG846 shameG152, whoG3588 mindG5426 earthly thingsG1919.)
IfG1487 yeG4891 thenG3767 be risenG4891 with ChristG5547, seekG2212 those things which are aboveG507, whereG3757 ChristG5547 sittethG2076+G2521 onG1722 the right handG1188 of GodG2316.
Set your affectionG5426 on things aboveG507, notG3361 on things onG1909 the earthG1093. {affection: or, mind}
Professing themselvesG5335 to beG1511 wiseG4680, they became foolsG3471,
AndG2532 changedG236 the gloryG1391 of the uncorruptibleG862 GodG2316 intoG1722 an imageG1504 made likeG3667 to corruptibleG5349 manG444, andG2532 to birdsG4071, andG2532 fourfooted beastsG5074, andG2532 creeping thingsG2062.
WhereforeG1352 GodG2316 alsoG2532 gaveG3860 themG846 upG3860 toG1519 uncleannessG167 throughG1722 the lustsG1939 of their ownG846 heartsG2588, to dishonourG818 their ownG846 bodiesG4983 betweenG1722 themselvesG1438:
WhoG3748 changedG3337 the truthG225 of GodG2316 intoG1722 a lieG5579, andG2532 worshippedG4573 andG2532 servedG3000 the creatureG2937 more thanG3844 the CreatorG2936, whoG3739 isG2076 blessedG2128 forG1519 everG165. AmenG281. {more: or, rather}
ForG1223 thisG5124 cause GodG2316 gaveG3860 themG846 upG3860 untoG1519 vileG819 affectionsG3806: forG1063 evenG5037 theirG846 womenG2338 did changeG3337 the naturalG5446 useG5540 intoG1519 that which is againstG3844 natureG5449:
AndG5037 likewiseG3668 alsoG2532 the menG730, leavingG863 the naturalG5446 useG5540 of the womanG2338, burnedG1572 inG1722 theirG846 lustG3715 one toward anotherG1519+G240; menG730 withG1722 menG730 workingG2716 that which is unseemlyG808, andG2532 receivingG618 inG1722 themselvesG1438 that recompenceG489 of theirG846 errorG4106 whichG3739 was meetG1163.
AndG2532 even asG2531 they didG1381 notG3756 likeG1381 to retainG2192 GodG2316 inG1722 their knowledgeG1922, GodG2316 gaveG3860 themG846 overG3860 toG1519 a reprobateG96 mindG3563, to doG4160 those things which areG2520 notG3361 convenientG2520; {to retain: or, to acknowledge} {a reprobate…: or, a mind void of judgment or, an unapproving mind}
Being filled withG4137 allG3956 unrighteousnessG93, fornicationG4202, wickednessG4189, covetousnessG4124, maliciousnessG2549; fullG3324 of envyG5355, murderG5408, debateG2054, deceitG1388, malignityG2550; whisperersG5588,
BackbitersG2637, haters of GodG2319, despitefulG5197, proudG5244, boastersG213, inventorsG2182 of evil thingsG2556, disobedientG545 to parentsG1118,
Without understandingG801, covenantbreakersG802, without natural affectionG794, implacableG786, unmercifulG415: {without natural…: or unsociable}
WhoG3748 knowingG1921 the judgmentG1345 of GodG2316, thatG3754 they which commitG4238 such thingsG5108 areG1526 worthyG514 of deathG2288, notG3756 onlyG3440 doG4160 the sameG846, butG235+G2532 have pleasureG4909 in them that doG4238 them. {have…: or, consent with}
ThisG5124 knowG1097 alsoG1161, thatG3754 inG1722 the lastG2078 daysG2250 perilousG5467 timesG2540 shall comeG1764.
ForG1063 menG444 shall beG2071 lovers of their own selvesG5367, covetousG5366, boastersG213, proudG5244, blasphemersG989, disobedientG545 to parentsG1118, unthankfulG884, unholyG462,
Without natural affectionG794, trucebreakersG786, false accusersG1228, incontinentG193, fierceG434, despisers of those that are goodG865, {false…: or, one who foments strife}
TraitorsG4273, headyG4312, highmindedG5187, lovers of pleasuresG5369 moreG3123 thanG2228 lovers of GodG5377;
HavingG2192 a formG3446 of godlinessG2150, butG1161 denyingG720 the powerG1411 thereofG846: fromG2532 suchG5128 turn awayG665.
ForG1063 ofG1537 this sortG5130 are theyG1526 which creepG1744 intoG1519 housesG3614, andG2532 lead captiveG162 silly womenG1133 ladenG4987 with sinsG266, led awayG71 with diversG4164 lustsG1939,
EverG3842 learningG3129, andG2532 neverG3368 ableG1410 to comeG2064 toG1519 the knowledgeG1922 of the truthG225.
NowG1161 asG5158 JannesG2389 andG2532 JambresG2387 withstoodG436 MosesG3475, soG3779 doG436 theseG3778 alsoG2532 resistG436 the truthG225: menG444 of corruptG2704 mindsG3563, reprobateG96 concerningG4012 the faithG4102. {reprobate: or, of no judgment} {reprobate: or, of no judgment}
ButG235 they shall proceedG4298 noG3756 furtherG1909+G4119: forG1063 theirG846 follyG454 shall beG2071 manifestG1552 unto allG3956 men, asG5613 theirsG1565 alsoG2532 wasG1096.
HavingG2192 a formG3446 of godlinessG2150, butG1161 denyingG720 the powerG1411 thereofG846: fromG2532 suchG5128 turn awayG665.
ThouG4771 thereforeG3767, myG3450 sonG5043, be strongG1743 inG1722 the graceG5485 that is inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
AndG2532 the thingsG3739 that thou hast heardG191 ofG3844 meG1700 amongG1223 manyG4183 witnessesG3144, the sameG5023 commit thouG3908 to faithfulG4103 menG444, whoG3748 shall beG2071 ableG2425 to teachG1321 othersG2087 alsoG2532. {among: or, by}
ThouG4771 thereforeG3767 endure hardnessG2553, asG5613 a goodG2570 soldierG4757 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
No manG3762 that warrethG4754 entangleth himselfG1707 with the affairsG4230 of this lifeG979; thatG2443 he may pleaseG700 him who hath chosen him to be a soldierG4758.
AndG1161 ifG1437 a manG5100 alsoG2532 striveG118 for masteries, yet is heG4737 notG3756 crownedG4737, exceptG3362 he striveG118 lawfullyG3545.
The husbandmanG1092 that labourethG2872 must beG1163 firstG4413 partakerG3335 of the fruitsG2590. {that…: or, labouring first, must be partaker of the fruits}
ConsiderG3539 whatG3739 I sayG3004; andG1063 the LordG2962 giveG1325 theeG4671 understandingG4907 inG1722 all thingsG3956.
RememberG3421 that JesusG2424 ChristG5547 ofG1537 the seedG4690 of DavidG1138 was raisedG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498 according toG2596 myG3450 gospelG2098:
WhereinG1722+G3739 I suffer troubleG2553, asG5613 an evil doerG2557, even untoG3360 bondsG1199; butG235 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 isG1210 notG3756 boundG1210.
ThereforeG1223+G5124 I endureG5278 all thingsG3956 forG1588 the elect'sG1588 sakesG1223, thatG2443 theyG846 mayG5177 alsoG2532 obtainG5177 the salvationG4991 whichG3588 is inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 withG3326 eternalG166 gloryG1391.
It is a faithfulG4103 sayingG3056: ForG1063 ifG1487 we be dead withG4880 him, we shallG4800 alsoG2532 live withG4800 him:
IfG1487 we sufferG5278, we shallG4821 alsoG2532 reign withG4821 him: ifG1487 we denyG720 him, he alsoG2548 will denyG720 usG2248:
IfG1487 we believe notG569, yet heG1565 abidethG3306 faithfulG4103: he cannotG3756+G1410 denyG720 himselfG1438.
Of these thingsG5023 put them in remembranceG5279, chargingG1263 them beforeG1799 the LordG2962 that they striveG3054 notG3361 about wordsG3054 toG1519 noG3762 profitG5539, but toG1909 the subvertingG2692 of the hearersG191.
StudyG4704 to shewG3936 thyselfG4572 approvedG1384 unto GodG2316, a workmanG2040 that needeth not to be ashamedG422, rightly dividingG3718 the wordG3056 of truthG225.
ButG1161 shunG4026 profaneG952 and vain babblingsG2757: forG1063 they will increaseG4298 untoG1909 moreG4119 ungodlinessG763.
AndG2532 theirG846 wordG3056 will eatG2192+G3542 asG5613 doth a cankerG1044: of whomG3739 isG2076 HymenaeusG5211 andG2532 PhiletusG5372; {canker: or, gangrene}
WhoG3748 concerningG4012 the truthG225 have erredG795, sayingG3004 that the resurrectionG386 is pastG1096 alreadyG2235; andG2532 overthrowG396 the faithG4102 of someG5100.
NeverthelessG3305 the foundationG2310 of GodG2316 standethG2476 sureG4731, havingG2192 thisG5026 sealG4973, The LordG2962 knowethG1097 them that areG5607 hisG846. AndG2532, LetG868 every oneG3956 that namethG3687 the nameG3686 of ChristG5547 departG868 fromG575 iniquityG93. {sure: or, steady}
ButG1161 inG1722 a greatG3173 houseG3614 there areG2076 notG3756 onlyG3440 vesselsG4632 of goldG5552 andG2532 of silverG693, butG235 alsoG2532 of woodG3585 andG2532 of earthG3749; andG2532 someG3739+G3303 toG1519 honourG5092, andG1161 someG3739 toG1519 dishonourG819.
IfG1437 a manG5100 thereforeG3767 purgeG1571 himselfG1438 fromG575 theseG5130, he shall beG2071 a vesselG4632 untoG1519 honourG5092, sanctifiedG37, andG2532 meetG2173 for the master's useG1203, and preparedG2090 untoG1519 everyG3956 goodG18 workG2041.
FleeG5343 alsoG1161 youthfulG3512 lustsG1939: butG1161 followG1377 righteousnessG1343, faithG4102, charityG26, peaceG1515, withG3326 them that call onG1941 the LordG2962 out ofG1537 a pureG2513 heartG2588.
ButG1161 foolishG3474 andG2532 unlearnedG521 questionsG2214 avoidG3868, knowingG1492 thatG3754 they do genderG1080 strifesG3163.
AndG1161 the servantG1401 of the LordG2962 mustG1163 notG3756 striveG3164; butG235 beG1511 gentleG2261 untoG4314 allG3956 men, apt to teachG1317, patientG420, {patient: or, forbearing}
InG1722 meeknessG4236 instructingG3811 those that oppose themselvesG475; ifG3379 GodG2316 peradventureG3379 will giveG1325 themG846 repentanceG3341 toG1519 the acknowledgingG1922 of the truthG225;
AndG2532 that they may recover themselvesG366 out ofG1537 the snareG3803 of the devilG1228, who are taken captiveG2221 byG5259 himG846 atG1519 hisG1565 willG2307. {recover…: Gr. awake} {taken…: Gr. taken alive}
NeverthelessG3305 the foundationG2310 of GodG2316 standethG2476 sureG4731, havingG2192 thisG5026 sealG4973, The LordG2962 knowethG1097 them that areG5607 hisG846. AndG2532, LetG868 every oneG3956 that namethG3687 the nameG3686 of ChristG5547 departG868 fromG575 iniquityG93. {sure: or, steady}
ButG1161 inG1722 a greatG3173 houseG3614 there areG2076 notG3756 onlyG3440 vesselsG4632 of goldG5552 andG2532 of silverG693, butG235 alsoG2532 of woodG3585 andG2532 of earthG3749; andG2532 someG3739+G3303 toG1519 honourG5092, andG1161 someG3739 toG1519 dishonourG819.
IfG1437 a manG5100 thereforeG3767 purgeG1571 himselfG1438 fromG575 theseG5130, he shall beG2071 a vesselG4632 untoG1519 honourG5092, sanctifiedG37, andG2532 meetG2173 for the master's useG1203, and preparedG2090 untoG1519 everyG3956 goodG18 workG2041.
FleeG5343 alsoG1161 youthfulG3512 lustsG1939: butG1161 followG1377 righteousnessG1343, faithG4102, charityG26, peaceG1515, withG3326 them that call onG1941 the LordG2962 out ofG1537 a pureG2513 heartG2588.
In the sameH1931 dayH3117 the LORDH3068 madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with AbramH87, sayingH559, Unto thy seedH2233 have I givenH5414 this landH776, from the riverH5104 of EgyptH4714 unto the greatH1419 riverH5104, the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578:
