And MordecaiH4782 wroteH3789 these thingsH1697, and sentH7971 lettersH5612 unto all the JewsH3064 that were in all the provincesH4082 of the kingH4428 AhasuerusH325, both nighH7138 and farH7350,
To stablishH6965 this among them, that they should keepH6213 the fourteenthH702+H6240 dayH3117 of the monthH2320 AdarH143, and the fifteenthH2568+H6240 dayH3117 of the same, yearlyH8141+H8141,
As the daysH3117 wherein the JewsH3064 restedH5117 from their enemiesH341, and the monthH2320 which was turnedH2015 unto them from sorrowH3015 to joyH8057, and from mourningH60 into a goodH2896 dayH3117: that they should makeH6213 them daysH3117 of feastingH4960 and joyH8057, and of sendingH4916 portionsH4490 oneH376 to anotherH7453, and giftsH4979 to the poorH34.
And the JewsH3064 undertookH6901 to doH6213 as they had begunH2490, and as MordecaiH4782 had writtenH3789 unto them;
Because HamanH2001 the sonH1121 of HammedathaH4099, the AgagiteH91, the enemyH6887 of all the JewsH3064, had devisedH2803 against the JewsH3064 to destroyH6 them, and had castH5307 PurH6332, that is, the lotH1486, to consumeH2000 them, and to destroyH6 them; {consume: Heb. crush}
But when Esther cameH935 beforeH6440 the kingH4428, he commandedH559 by lettersH5612 that his wickedH7451 deviceH4284, which he devisedH2803 against the JewsH3064, should returnH7725 upon his own headH7218, and that he and his sonsH1121 should be hangedH8518 on the gallowsH6086. {when…: Heb. when she came}
Wherefore they calledH7121 these daysH3117 PurimH6332 after the nameH8034 of PurH6332. Therefore for all the wordsH1697 of this letterH107, and of that which they had seenH7200 concerning this matterH3602, and which had comeH5060 unto them, {Pur: that is, Lot}
The JewsH3064 ordainedH6965, and tookH6901 upon them, and upon their seedH2233, and upon all such as joinedH3867 themselves unto them, so as it should not failH5674, that they would keepH6213 these twoH8147 daysH3117 according to their writingH3791, and according to their appointed timeH2165 every yearH8141+H8141; {fail: Heb. pass}
And that these daysH3117 should be rememberedH2142 and keptH6213 throughoutH1755 every generationH1755, every familyH4940, every provinceH4082, and every cityH5892; and that these daysH3117 of PurimH6332 should not failH5674 from amongH8432 the JewsH3064, nor the memorialH2143 of them perishH5486 from their seedH2233. {fail: Heb. pass} {perish: Heb. be ended}
Then EstherH635 the queenH4436, the daughterH1323 of AbihailH32, and MordecaiH4782 the JewH3064, wroteH3789 with all authorityH8633, to confirmH6965 this secondH8145 letterH107 of PurimH6332. {authority: Heb. strength}
And he sentH7971 the lettersH5612 unto all the JewsH3064, to the hundredH3967 twentyH6242 and sevenH7651 provincesH4082 of the kingdomH4438 of AhasuerusH325, with wordsH1697 of peaceH7965 and truthH571,
To confirmH6965 these daysH3117 of PurimH6332 in their timesH2165 appointed, according as MordecaiH4782 the JewH3064 and EstherH635 the queenH4436 had enjoinedH6965 them, and as they had decreedH6965 for themselvesH5315 and for their seedH2233, the mattersH1697 of the fastingsH6685 and their cryH2201. {themselves: Heb. their souls}
And the decreeH3982 of EstherH635 confirmedH6965 these mattersH1697 of PurimH6332; and it was writtenH3789 in the bookH5612.
And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto the peopleH5971, RememberH2142 thisH2088 dayH3117, in which ye came outH3318 from EgyptH4714, out of the houseH1004 of bondageH5650; for by strengthH2392 of handH3027 the LORDH3068 brought you outH3318 from this place: there shall no leavened breadH2557 be eatenH398. {bondage: Heb. servants}
This dayH3117 came ye outH3318 in the monthH2320 AbibH24.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH559 unto MosesH4872 and AaronH175 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, sayingH559,
This monthH2320 shall be unto you the beginningH7218 of monthsH2320: it shall be the firstH7223 monthH2320 of the yearH8141 to you.
SpeakH1696 ye unto all the congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, In the tenthH6218 day of this monthH2320 they shall takeH3947 to them every manH376 a lambH7716, according to the houseH1004 of their fathersH1, a lambH7716 for an houseH1004: {lamb: or, kid}
And if the householdH1004 beH1961 too littleH4591 for the lambH7716, let him and his neighbourH7934 nextH7138 unto his houseH1004 takeH3947 it according to the numberH4373 of the soulsH5315; every manH376 accordingH6310 to his eatingH400 shall make your countH3699 for the lambH7716.
Your lambH7716 shall be without blemishH8549, a maleH2145 of the firstH1121 yearH8141: ye shall takeH3947 it out from the sheepH3532, or from the goatsH5795: {of…: Heb. son of a year}
And ye shall keepH4931 it up until the fourteenthH702+H6240 dayH3117 of the same monthH2320: and the wholeH3605 assemblyH6951 of the congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478 shall killH7819 it inH996 the eveningH6153. {in…: Heb. between the two evenings}
And they shall takeH3947 of the bloodH1818, and strikeH5414 it on the twoH8147 side postsH4201 and on the upper door postH4947 of the housesH1004, wherein they shall eatH398 it.
And they shall eatH398 the fleshH1320 in that nightH3915, roastH6748 with fireH784, and unleavened breadH4682; and with bitterH4844 herbs they shall eatH398 it.
EatH398 not of it rawH4995, nor soddenH1310+H1311 at all with waterH4325, but roastH6748 with fireH784; his headH7218 with his legsH3767, and with the purtenanceH7130 thereof.
And ye shall let nothing of it remainH3498 until the morningH1242; and that which remainethH3498 of it until the morningH1242 ye shall burnH8313 with fireH784.
And thusH3602 shall ye eatH398 it; with your loinsH4975 girdedH2296, your shoesH5275 on your feetH7272, and your staffH4731 in your handH3027; and ye shall eatH398 it in hasteH2649: it is the LORD'SH3068 passoverH6453.
For I will passH5674 through the landH776 of EgyptH4714 this nightH3915, and will smiteH5221 all the firstbornH1060 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, both manH120 and beastH929; and against all the godsH430 of EgyptH4714 I will executeH6213 judgmentH8201: I am the LORDH3068. {gods: or, princes}
And the bloodH1818 shall be to you for a tokenH226 upon the housesH1004 where ye are: and when I seeH7200 the bloodH1818, I will passH6452 over you, and the plagueH5063 shall not be upon you to destroyH4889 you, when I smiteH5221 the landH776 of EgyptH4714. {to destroy…: Heb. for a destruction}
And this dayH3117 shall be unto you for a memorialH2146; and ye shall keepH2287 it a feastH2282 to the LORDH3068 throughout your generationsH1755; ye shall keep it a feastH2287 by an ordinanceH2708 for everH5769.
Purge outG1571 thereforeG3767 the oldG3820 leavenG2219, thatG2443 ye may beG5600 a newG3501 lumpG5445, asG2531 ye areG2075 unleavenedG106. ForG1063 evenG2532 ChristG5547 ourG2257 passoverG3957 is sacrificedG2380 forG5228 usG2257: {is sacrificed: or, is slain}
ForG1063 IG1473 have receivedG3880 ofG575 the LordG2962 that whichG3739 alsoG2532 I deliveredG3860 unto youG5213, ThatG3754 the LordG2962 JesusG2424 the same nightG3571 inG1722 whichG3739 he was betrayedG3860 tookG2983 breadG740:
AndG2532 when he had given thanksG2168, he brakeG2806 it, andG2532 saidG2036, TakeG2983, eatG5315: thisG5124 isG2076 myG3450 bodyG4983, whichG3588 is brokenG2806 forG5228 youG5216: thisG5124 doG4160 inG1519 remembranceG364 of meG1699. {in…: or, for a remembrance}
After the same mannerG5615 alsoG2532 he took the cupG4221, whenG3326 he had suppedG1172, sayingG3004, ThisG5124 cupG4221 isG2076 the newG2537 testamentG1242 inG1722 myG1699 bloodG129: thisG5124 do yeG4160, as oft asG3740+G302 ye drinkG4095 it, inG1519 remembranceG364 of meG1699.
ForG1063 as often asG302+G3740 ye eatG2068 thisG5126 breadG740, andG2532 drinkG4095 thisG5124 cupG4221, ye do shewG2605 the Lord'sG2962 deathG2288 tillG891+G302 heG3739 comeG2064. {ye do…: or, shew ye}
In the fourteenthH702+H6240 day of the firstH7223 monthH2320 at evenH6153 is the LORD'SH3068 passoverH6453.
And on the fifteenthH2568+H6240 dayH3117 of the same monthH2320 is the feastH2282 of unleavened breadH4682 unto the LORDH3068: sevenH7651 daysH3117 ye must eatH398 unleavened breadH4682.
In the firstH7223 dayH3117 ye shall have an holyH6944 convocationH4744: ye shall doH6213 no servileH5656 workH4399 therein.
But ye shall offerH7126 an offering made by fireH801 unto the LORDH3068 sevenH7651 daysH3117: in the seventhH7637 dayH3117 is an holyH6944 convocationH4744: ye shall doH6213 no servileH5656 workH4399 therein.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872, sayingH559,
SpeakH1696 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and sayH559 unto them, When ye be comeH935 into the landH776 which I giveH5414 unto you, and shall reapH7114 the harvestH7105 thereof, then ye shall bringH935 a sheafH6016 of the firstfruitsH7225 of your harvestH7105 unto the priestH3548: {sheaf: or, handful: Heb. omer}
And he shall waveH5130 the sheafH6016 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, to be acceptedH7522 for you: on the morrowH4283 after the sabbathH7676 the priestH3548 shall waveH5130 it.
And ye shall offerH6213 that dayH3117 when ye waveH5130 the sheafH6016 an he lambH3532 without blemishH8549 of the firstH1121 yearH8141 for a burnt offeringH5930 unto the LORDH3068.
And the meat offeringH4503 thereof shall be twoH8147 tenth dealsH6241 of fine flourH5560 mingledH1101 with oilH8081, an offering made by fireH801 unto the LORDH3068 for a sweetH5207 savourH7381: and the drink offeringH5262 thereof shall be of wineH3196, the fourthH7243 part of an hinH1969.
And ye shall eatH398 neither breadH3899, nor parched cornH7039, nor green earsH3759, until the selfsameH6106+H2088 dayH3117 thatH5704 ye have broughtH935 an offeringH7133 unto your GodH430: it shall be a statuteH2708 for everH5769 throughout your generationsH1755 in all your dwellingsH4186.
And ye shall countH5608 unto you from the morrowH4283 after the sabbathH7676, from the dayH3117 that ye broughtH935 the sheafH6016 of the wave offeringH8573; sevenH7651 sabbathsH7676 shall beH1961 completeH8549:
Even untoH5704 the morrowH4283 after the seventhH7637 sabbathH7676 shall ye numberH5608 fiftyH2572 daysH3117; and ye shall offerH7126 a newH2319 meat offeringH4503 unto the LORDH3068.
Ye shall bring outH935 of your habitationsH4186 twoH8147 waveH8573 loavesH3899 of twoH8147 tenth dealsH6241: they shall be of fine flourH5560; they shall be bakenH644 with leavenH2557; they are the firstfruitsH1061 unto the LORDH3068.
And ye shall offerH7126 with the breadH3899 sevenH7651 lambsH3532 without blemishH8549 of the firstH1121 yearH8141, and oneH259 youngH1241+H1121 bullockH6499, and twoH8147 ramsH352: they shall be for a burnt offeringH5930 unto the LORDH3068, with their meat offeringH4503, and their drink offeringsH5262, even an offering made by fireH801, of sweetH5207 savourH7381 unto the LORDH3068.
Then ye shall sacrificeH6213 oneH259 kidH8163 of the goatsH5795 for a sin offeringH2403, and twoH8147 lambsH3532 of the firstH1121 yearH8141 for a sacrificeH2077 of peace offeringsH8002.
And the priestH3548 shall waveH5130 them with the breadH3899 of the firstfruitsH1061 for a wave offeringH8573 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, with the twoH8147 lambsH3532: they shall be holyH6944 to the LORDH3068 for the priestH3548.
And ye shall proclaimH7121 on the selfsameH6106 dayH3117, that it may be an holyH6944 convocationH4744 unto you: ye shall doH6213 no servileH5656 workH4399 therein: it shall be a statuteH2708 for everH5769 in all your dwellingsH4186 throughout your generationsH1755.
And when ye reapH7114 the harvestH7105 of your landH776, thou shalt not make clean riddanceH3615 of the cornersH6285 of thy fieldH7704 when thou reapestH7114, neither shalt thou gatherH3950 any gleaningH3951 of thy harvestH7105: thou shalt leaveH5800 them unto the poorH6041, and to the strangerH1616: I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872, sayingH559,
SpeakH1696 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, In the seventhH7637 monthH2320, in the firstH259 day of the monthH2320, shall ye have a sabbathH7677, a memorialH2146 of blowingH8643 of trumpets, an holyH6944 convocationH4744.
Ye shall doH6213 no servileH5656 workH4399 therein: but ye shall offerH7126 an offering made by fireH801 unto the LORDH3068.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872, sayingH559,
AlsoH389 on the tenthH6218 day of this seventhH7637 monthH2320 there shall be a dayH3117 of atonementH3725: it shall be an holyH6944 convocationH4744 unto you; and ye shall afflictH6031 your soulsH5315, and offerH7126 an offering made by fireH801 unto the LORDH3068.
And ye shall doH6213 no workH4399 in that sameH6106 dayH3117: for it is a dayH3117 of atonementH3725, to make an atonementH3722 for you beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 your GodH430.
For whatsoever soulH5315 it be that shall not be afflictedH6031 in that sameH6106 dayH3117, he shall be cut offH3772 from among his peopleH5971.
And whatsoever soulH5315 it be that doethH6213 any workH4399 in that sameH6106 dayH3117, the same soulH5315 will I destroyH6 from amongH7130 his peopleH5971.
Ye shall doH6213 no manner of workH4399: it shall be a statuteH2708 for everH5769 throughout your generationsH1755 in all your dwellingsH4186.
It shall be unto you a sabbathH7676 of restH7677, and ye shall afflictH6031 your soulsH5315: in the ninthH8672 day of the monthH2320 at evenH6153, from evenH6153 unto evenH6153, shall ye celebrateH7673 your sabbathH7676. {celebrate: Heb. rest}
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872, sayingH559,
SpeakH1696 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, The fifteenthH2568+H6240 dayH3117 of this seventhH7637 monthH2320 shall be the feastH2282 of tabernaclesH5521 for sevenH7651 daysH3117 unto the LORDH3068.
On the firstH7223 dayH3117 shall be an holyH6944 convocationH4744: ye shall doH6213 no servileH5656 workH4399 therein.
SevenH7651 daysH3117 ye shall offerH7126 an offering made by fireH801 unto the LORDH3068: on the eighthH8066 dayH3117 shall be an holyH6944 convocationH4744 unto you; and ye shall offerH7126 an offering made by fireH801 unto the LORDH3068: it is a solemn assemblyH6116; and ye shall doH6213 no servileH5656 workH4399 therein. {solemn…: Heb. day of restraint}
These are the feastsH4150 of the LORDH3068, which ye shall proclaimH7121 to be holyH6944 convocationsH4744, to offerH7126 an offering made by fireH801 unto the LORDH3068, a burnt offeringH5930, and a meat offeringH4503, a sacrificeH2077, and drink offeringsH5262, every thingH1697 upon hisH3117 dayH3117:
Beside the sabbathsH7676 of the LORDH3068, and beside your giftsH4979, and beside all your vowsH5088, and beside all your freewill offeringsH5071, which ye giveH5414 unto the LORDH3068.
Also in the fifteenthH2568+H6240 dayH3117 of the seventhH7637 monthH2320, when ye have gatheredH622 in the fruitH8393 of the landH776, ye shall keepH2287 a feastH2282 unto the LORDH3068 sevenH7651 daysH3117: on the firstH7223 dayH3117 shall be a sabbathH7677, and on the eighthH8066 dayH3117 shall be a sabbathH7677.
And ye shall takeH3947 you on the firstH7223 dayH3117 the boughsH6529 of goodlyH1926 treesH6086, branchesH3709 of palmH8558 trees, and the boughsH6057 of thickH5687 treesH6086, and willowsH6155 of the brookH5158; and ye shall rejoiceH8055 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 sevenH7651 daysH3117. {boughs of goodly trees: Heb. fruit of, etc}
And ye shall keepH2287 it a feastH2282 unto the LORDH3068 sevenH7651 daysH3117 in the yearH8141. It shall be a statuteH2708 for everH5769 in your generationsH1755: ye shall celebrateH2287 it in the seventhH7637 monthH2320.
Ye shall dwellH3427 in boothsH5521 sevenH7651 daysH3117; all that are IsraelitesH3478 bornH249 shall dwellH3427 in boothsH5521:
That your generationsH1755 may knowH3045 that I made the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 to dwellH3427 in boothsH5521, when I brought them outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714: I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430.
And MosesH4872 declaredH1696 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 the feastsH4150 of the LORDH3068.
AndG2532 ifG1437 ye do goodG15 to them which do goodG15 to youG5209, whatG4169 thankG5485 haveG2076 yeG5213? forG1063 sinnersG268 also doG4160 evenG2532 the sameG846.
AndG2532 ifG1437 ye lendG1155 to them ofG3844 whomG3739 ye hopeG1679 to receiveG618, whatG4169 thankG5485 haveG2076 yeG5213? forG1063 sinnersG268 alsoG2532 lendG1155 to sinnersG268, toG2443 receiveG618 as muchG2470 againG618.
ButG4133 love yeG25 yourG5216 enemiesG2190, andG2532 do goodG15, andG2532 lendG1155, hopingG560 for nothingG3367 againG560; andG2532 yourG5216 rewardG3408 shall beG2071 greatG4183, andG2532 ye shall beG2071 the childrenG5207 of the HighestG5310: forG3754 heG846 isG2076 kindG5543 untoG1909 the unthankfulG884 andG2532 to the evilG4190.
AndG2532 when he had given thanksG2168, he brakeG2806 it, andG2532 saidG2036, TakeG2983, eatG5315: thisG5124 isG2076 myG3450 bodyG4983, whichG3588 is brokenG2806 forG5228 youG5216: thisG5124 doG4160 inG1519 remembranceG364 of meG1699. {in…: or, for a remembrance}
After the same mannerG5615 alsoG2532 he took the cupG4221, whenG3326 he had suppedG1172, sayingG3004, ThisG5124 cupG4221 isG2076 the newG2537 testamentG1242 inG1722 myG1699 bloodG129: thisG5124 do yeG4160, as oft asG3740+G302 ye drinkG4095 it, inG1519 remembranceG364 of meG1699.
In the firstH7223 monthH2320, that is, the monthH2320 NisanH5212, in the twelfthH8147+H6240 yearH8141 of kingH4428 AhasuerusH325, they castH5307 PurH6332, that is, the lotH1486, beforeH6440 HamanH2001 from dayH3117 to dayH3117, and from monthH2320 to monthH2320, to the twelfthH8147+H6240 month, that is, the monthH2320 AdarH143.
AlasH1945! for that dayH3117 is greatH1419, so thatH369 none is like it: it is even the timeH6256 of Jacob'sH3290 troubleH6869; but he shall be savedH3467 out of it.
For he establishedH6965 a testimonyH5715 in JacobH3290, and appointedH7760 a lawH8451 in IsraelH3478, which he commandedH6680 our fathersH1, that they should make them knownH3045 to their childrenH1121:
