WhereforeG5101 thenG3767 serveth the lawG3551? It was addedG4369 because ofG5484 transgressionsG3847, tillG891+G3739 the seedG4690 should comeG2064 to whomG3739 the promise was madeG1861; and it was ordainedG1299 byG1223 angelsG32 inG1722 the handG5495 of a mediatorG3316.
WhatG5101 shall we sayG2046 thenG3767 that AbrahamG11 ourG2257 fatherG3962, as pertainingG2596 to the fleshG4561, hath foundG2147?
ForG1063 ifG1487 AbrahamG11 were justifiedG1344 byG1537 worksG2041, he hathG2192 whereof to gloryG2745; butG235 notG3756 beforeG4314 GodG2316.
ForG1063 whatG5101 saithG3004 the scriptureG1124+G1161? AbrahamG11 believedG4100 GodG2316, andG2532 it was countedG3049 unto himG846 forG1519 righteousnessG1343.
NowG1161 to him that workethG2038 isG3049 the rewardG3408 notG3756 reckonedG3049 ofG2596 graceG5485, butG235 ofG2596 debtG3783.
ButG1161 to him that workethG2038 notG3361, butG1161 believethG4100 onG1909 him that justifiethG1344 the ungodlyG765, hisG846 faithG4102 is countedG3049 forG1519 righteousnessG1343.
Even asG2509 DavidG1138 alsoG2532 describethG3004 the blessednessG3108 of the manG444, unto whomG3739 GodG2316 imputethG3049 righteousnessG1343 withoutG5565 worksG2041,
Saying, BlessedG3107 are they whoseG3739 iniquitiesG458 are forgivenG863, andG2532 whoseG3739 sinsG266 are coveredG1943.
BlessedG3107 is the manG435 to whomG3739 the LordG2962 willG3049 notG3364 imputeG3049 sinG266.
Cometh thisG3778 blessednessG3108 thenG3767 uponG1909 the circumcisionG4061 only, orG2228 uponG1909 the uncircumcisionG203 alsoG2532? forG1063 we sayG3004 thatG3754 faithG4102 was reckonedG3049 to AbrahamG11 forG1519 righteousnessG1343.
HowG4459 was itG3049 thenG3767 reckonedG3049? when he wasG5607 inG1722 circumcisionG4061, orG2228 inG1722 uncircumcisionG203? NotG3756 inG1722 circumcisionG4061, butG235 inG1722 uncircumcisionG203.
AndG2532 he receivedG2983 the signG4592 of circumcisionG4061, a sealG4973 of the righteousnessG1343 of the faithG4102 whichG3588 he had yet beingG1722 uncircumcisedG203: thatG1519 heG846 might beG1511 the fatherG3962 of allG3956 them that believeG4100, thoughG1223 they be not circumcisedG203; thatG1519 righteousnessG1343 might be imputedG3049 unto themG846 alsoG2532:
AndG2532 the fatherG3962 of circumcisionG4061 to them who are notG3756 ofG1537 the circumcisionG4061 onlyG3440, butG235 who alsoG2532 walkG4748 in the stepsG2487 of that faithG4102 of ourG2257 fatherG3962 AbrahamG11, which he had beingG1722 yet uncircumcisedG203.
ForG1063 the promiseG1860, that he should beG1511 theG846 heirG2818 of the worldG2889, was notG3756 to AbrahamG11, orG2228 to hisG846 seedG4690, throughG1223 the lawG3551, butG235 throughG1223 the righteousnessG1343 of faithG4102.
ForG1063 ifG1487 they which are ofG1537 the lawG3551 be heirsG2818, faithG4102 is made voidG2758, andG2532 the promiseG1860 made of none effectG2673:
BecauseG1063 the lawG3551 workethG2716 wrathG3709: forG1063 whereG3757 noG3756 lawG3551 isG2076, there is noG3761 transgressionG3847.
ThereforeG1223+G5124 it is ofG1537 faithG4102, thatG2443 it might be byG2596 graceG5485; to the endG1519 the promiseG1860 might beG1511 sureG949 to allG3956 the seedG4690; notG3756 to that onlyG3440 which is ofG1537 the lawG3551, butG235 to that alsoG2532 which is ofG1537 the faithG4102 of AbrahamG11; whoG3739 isG2076 the fatherG3962 of usG2257 allG3956,
(AsG2531 it is writtenG1125+G3754, I have madeG5087 theeG4571 a fatherG3962 of manyG4183 nationsG1484,) beforeG2713 him whomG3739 he believedG4100, even GodG2316, who quickenethG2227 the deadG3498, andG2532 callethG2564 those things which beG5607 notG3361 as thoughG5613 they wereG5607. {before him: or, like unto him}
WhoG3739 againstG3844 hopeG1680 believedG4100 inG1909 hopeG1680, thatG1519 heG846 might becomeG1096 the fatherG3962 of manyG4183 nationsG1484; accordingG2596 to that which was spokenG2046, SoG3779 shallG2071 thyG4675 seedG4690 beG2071.
AndG2532 being notG3361 weakG770 in faithG4102, he consideredG2657 notG3756 his ownG1438 bodyG4983 nowG2235 deadG3499, when he wasG5225 aboutG4225 an hundred years oldG1541, neither yetG2532 the deadnessG3500 of Sarah'sG4564 wombG3388:
He staggeredG1252 notG3756 atG1519 the promiseG1860 of GodG2316 through unbeliefG570; butG235 was strongG1743 in faithG4102, givingG1325 gloryG1391 to GodG2316;
AndG2532 being fully persuadedG4135 thatG3754, whatG3739 he had promisedG1861, he wasG2076 ableG1415 alsoG2532 to performG4160.
AndG2532 thereforeG1352 it was imputedG3049 to himG846 forG1519 righteousnessG1343.
NowG1161 it wasG1125 notG3756 writtenG1125 for his sakeG1223+G846 aloneG3440, thatG3754 it was imputedG3049 to himG846;
ButG235 forG1223 usG2248 alsoG2532, to whomG3739 it shall beG3195 imputedG3049, if we believeG4100 onG1909 him that raised upG1453 JesusG2424 ourG2257 LordG2962 fromG1537 the deadG3498;
WhoG3739 was deliveredG3860 forG1223 ourG2257 offencesG3900, andG2532 was raised againG1453 forG1223 ourG2257 justificationG1347.
And it came to pass on the thirdH7992 dayH3117 in the morningH1242, that there were thundersH6963 and lightningsH1300, and a thickH3515 cloudH6051 upon the mountH2022, and the voiceH6963 of the trumpetH7782 exceedingH3966 loudH2389; so that all the peopleH5971 that was in the campH4264 trembledH2729.
And MosesH4872 brought forthH3318 the peopleH5971 out of the campH4264 to meetH7125 with GodH430; and they stoodH3320 at the netherH8482 part of the mountH2022.
And mountH2022 SinaiH5514 was altogether on a smokeH6225, becauseH6440+H834 the LORDH3068 descendedH3381 upon it in fireH784: and the smokeH6227 thereof ascendedH5927 as the smokeH6227 of a furnaceH3536, and the whole mountH2022 quakedH2729 greatlyH3966.
And when the voiceH6963 of the trumpetH7782 soundedH6963 longH1980, and waxed louderH2390 and louderH3966, MosesH4872 spakeH1696, and GodH430 answeredH6030 him by a voiceH6963.
ForG1063 ye areG4334 notG3756 comeG4334 unto the mountG3735 that might be touchedG5584, andG2532 that burnedG2545 with fireG4442, norG2532 unto blacknessG1105, andG2532 darknessG4655, andG2532 tempestG2366,
Nevertheless the dimnessH4155 shall not be such as was in her vexationH4164, whenH6256 at the firstH7223 he lightly afflictedH7043 the landH776 of ZebulunH2074 and the landH776 of NaphtaliH5321, and afterwardH314 did more grievously afflictH3513 her by the wayH1870 of the seaH3220, beyondH5676 JordanH3383, in GalileeH1551 of the nationsH1471. {of the nations: or, populous}
The wordH1697 that IsaiahH3470 the sonH1121 of AmozH531 sawH2372 concerning JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389.
And it shall come to pass in the lastH319 daysH3117, that the mountainH2022 of the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004 shall be establishedH3559 in the topH7218 of the mountainsH2022, and shall be exaltedH5375 above the hillsH1389; and all nationsH1471 shall flowH5102 unto it. {established: or, prepared}
And manyH7227 peopleH5971 shall goH1980 and sayH559, ComeH3212 ye, and let us go upH5927 to the mountainH2022 of the LORDH3068, to the houseH1004 of the GodH430 of JacobH3290; and he will teachH3384 us of his waysH1870, and we will walkH3212 in his pathsH734: for out of ZionH6726 shall go forthH3318 the lawH8451, and the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 from JerusalemH3389.
And he shall judgeH8199 among the nationsH1471, and shall rebukeH3198 manyH7227 peopleH5971: and they shall beatH3807 their swordsH2719 into plowsharesH855, and their spearsH2595 into pruninghooksH4211: nationH1471 shall not lift upH5375 swordH2719 against nationH1471, neither shall they learnH3925 warH4421 any more. {pruninghooks: or, scythes}
O houseH1004 of JacobH3290, comeH3212 ye, and let us walkH3212 in the lightH216 of the LORDH3068.
Therefore thou hast forsakenH5203 thy peopleH5971 the houseH1004 of JacobH3290, because they be replenishedH4390 from the eastH6924, and are soothsayersH6049 like the PhilistinesH6430, and they pleaseH5606 themselves in the childrenH3206 of strangersH5237. {from…: or, more than the} {please…: or, abound with the}
Their landH776 also is fullH4390 of silverH3701 and goldH2091, neither is there any endH7097 of their treasuresH214; their landH776 is also fullH4390 of horsesH5483, neither is there any endH7097 of their chariotsH4818:
Their landH776 also is fullH4390 of idolsH457; they worshipH7812 the workH4639 of their own handsH3027, that which their own fingersH676 have madeH6213:
And the mean manH120 boweth downH7817, and the great manH376 humblethH8213 himself: therefore forgiveH5375 them not.
EnterH935 into the rockH6697, and hideH2934 thee in the dustH6083, forH6440 fearH6343 of the LORDH3068, and for the gloryH1926 of his majestyH1347.
The loftyH1365 looksH5869 of manH120 shall be humbledH8213, and the haughtinessH7312 of menH582 shall be bowed downH7817, and the LORDH3068 alone shall be exaltedH7682 in that dayH3117.
For the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 shall be upon every one that is proudH1343 and loftyH7311, and upon every one that is lifted upH5375; and he shall be brought lowH8213:
And upon all the cedarsH730 of LebanonH3844, that are highH7311 and lifted upH5375, and upon all the oaksH437 of BashanH1316,
And upon all the highH7311 mountainsH2022, and upon all the hillsH1389 that are lifted upH5375,
And upon every highH1364 towerH4026, and upon every fencedH1219 wallH2346,
And upon all the shipsH591 of TarshishH8659, and upon all pleasantH2532 picturesH7914. {pleasant…: Heb. pictures of desire}
And the loftinessH1365 of manH120 shall be bowed downH7817, and the haughtinessH7312 of menH582 shall be made lowH8213: and the LORDH3068 alone shall be exaltedH7682 in that dayH3117.
And the idolsH457 he shall utterlyH3632 abolishH2498. {he…: or, shall utterly pass away}
And they shall goH935 into the holesH4631 of the rocksH6697, and into the cavesH4247 of the earthH6083, forH6440 fearH6343 of the LORDH3068, and for the gloryH1926 of his majestyH1347, when he arisethH6965 to shake terriblyH6206 the earthH776. {of the earth: Heb. of the dust}
In that dayH3117 a manH120 shall castH7993 his idolsH457 of silverH3701, and his idolsH457 of goldH2091, which they made each one for himselfH6213 to worshipH7812, to the molesH2661+H6512 and to the batsH5847; {his idols of silver…: Heb. the idols of his silver, etc} {each…: or, for him}
To goH935 into the cleftsH5366 of the rocksH6697, and into the topsH5585 of the ragged rocksH5553, forH6440 fearH6343 of the LORDH3068, and for the gloryH1926 of his majestyH1347, when he arisethH6965 to shake terriblyH6206 the earthH776.
CeaseH2308 ye from manH120, whose breathH5397 is in his nostrilsH639: for wherein is he to be accounted ofH2803?
AriseH6965, shineH215; for thy lightH216 is comeH935, and the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 is risenH2224 upon thee. {shine…: or, be enlightened; for thy light cometh}
For, behold, the darknessH2822 shall coverH3680 the earthH776, and gross darknessH6205 the peopleH3816: but the LORDH3068 shall ariseH2224 upon thee, and his gloryH3519 shall be seenH7200 upon thee.
And the GentilesH1471 shall comeH1980 to thy lightH216, and kingsH4428 to the brightnessH5051 of thy risingH2225.
ThroughG1223 the tenderG4698 mercyG1656 of ourG2257 GodG2316; wherebyG1722+G3739 the dayspringG395 fromG1537 on highG5311 hath visitedG1980 usG2248, {tender…: or, bowels of the mercy} {dayspring: or, Sunrising, or, branch, Zac.3.8, esay II, I Malich.4.2, numb.24.17}
WhereforeG5101 thenG3767 serveth the lawG3551? It was addedG4369 because ofG5484 transgressionsG3847, tillG891+G3739 the seedG4690 should comeG2064 to whomG3739 the promise was madeG1861; and it was ordainedG1299 byG1223 angelsG32 inG1722 the handG5495 of a mediatorG3316.
ThereforeG1360 byG1537 the deedsG2041 of the lawG3551 there shallG1344 noG3956+G3756 fleshG4561 be justifiedG1344 in hisG846 sightG1799: forG1063 byG1223 the lawG3551 is the knowledgeG1922 of sinG266.
WhatG5101 shall we sayG2046 thenG3767? Is the lawG3551 sinG266? God forbidG3361+G1096. NayG235, I hadG1097 notG3756 knownG1097 sinG266, butG1508 byG1223 the lawG3551: forG1063+G5037 I hadG1492 notG3756 knownG1492 lustG1939, exceptG1508 the lawG3551 had saidG3004, Thou shaltG1937 notG3756 covetG1937. {lust: or, concupiscence}
WhereforeG5101 thenG3767 serveth the lawG3551? It was addedG4369 because ofG5484 transgressionsG3847, tillG891+G3739 the seedG4690 should comeG2064 to whomG3739 the promise was madeG1861; and it was ordainedG1299 byG1223 angelsG32 inG1722 the handG5495 of a mediatorG3316.
MoreoverG1161 the lawG3551 enteredG3922, thatG2443 the offenceG3900 might aboundG4121. ButG1161 whereG3757 sinG266 aboundedG4121, graceG5485 did much more aboundG5248:
BrethrenG80, I speakG3004 after the manner ofG2596 menG444; Though it be butG3676 a man'sG444 covenantG1242, yet if it be confirmedG2964, no manG3762 disannullethG114, orG2228 addeth theretoG1928. {covenant: or, testament}
NowG1161 to AbrahamG11 andG2532 hisG846 seedG4690 wereG4483 the promisesG1860 madeG4483. He saithG3004 notG3756, AndG2532 to seedsG4690, asG5613 ofG1909 manyG4183; butG235 asG5613 ofG1909 oneG1520, AndG2532 to thyG4675 seedG4690, whichG3739 isG2076 ChristG5547.
AndG1161 thisG5124 I sayG3004, that the covenantG1242, that was confirmed beforeG4300 ofG5259 GodG2316 inG1519 ChristG5547, the lawG3551, which wasG1096 four hundredG5071 andG2532 thirtyG5144 yearsG2094 afterG3326, cannotG3756 disannulG208, thatG1519 it should makeG2673 the promiseG1860 of none effectG2673.
WhatG5101 shall we sayG2046 thenG3767 that AbrahamG11 ourG2257 fatherG3962, as pertainingG2596 to the fleshG4561, hath foundG2147?
ForG1063 ifG1487 AbrahamG11 were justifiedG1344 byG1537 worksG2041, he hathG2192 whereof to gloryG2745; butG235 notG3756 beforeG4314 GodG2316.
ForG1063 whatG5101 saithG3004 the scriptureG1124+G1161? AbrahamG11 believedG4100 GodG2316, andG2532 it was countedG3049 unto himG846 forG1519 righteousnessG1343.
NowG1161 to him that workethG2038 isG3049 the rewardG3408 notG3756 reckonedG3049 ofG2596 graceG5485, butG235 ofG2596 debtG3783.
ButG1161 to him that workethG2038 notG3361, butG1161 believethG4100 onG1909 him that justifiethG1344 the ungodlyG765, hisG846 faithG4102 is countedG3049 forG1519 righteousnessG1343.
Even asG2509 DavidG1138 alsoG2532 describethG3004 the blessednessG3108 of the manG444, unto whomG3739 GodG2316 imputethG3049 righteousnessG1343 withoutG5565 worksG2041,
Saying, BlessedG3107 are they whoseG3739 iniquitiesG458 are forgivenG863, andG2532 whoseG3739 sinsG266 are coveredG1943.
BlessedG3107 is the manG435 to whomG3739 the LordG2962 willG3049 notG3364 imputeG3049 sinG266.
Cometh thisG3778 blessednessG3108 thenG3767 uponG1909 the circumcisionG4061 only, orG2228 uponG1909 the uncircumcisionG203 alsoG2532? forG1063 we sayG3004 thatG3754 faithG4102 was reckonedG3049 to AbrahamG11 forG1519 righteousnessG1343.
HowG4459 was itG3049 thenG3767 reckonedG3049? when he wasG5607 inG1722 circumcisionG4061, orG2228 inG1722 uncircumcisionG203? NotG3756 inG1722 circumcisionG4061, butG235 inG1722 uncircumcisionG203.
AndG2532 he receivedG2983 the signG4592 of circumcisionG4061, a sealG4973 of the righteousnessG1343 of the faithG4102 whichG3588 he had yet beingG1722 uncircumcisedG203: thatG1519 heG846 might beG1511 the fatherG3962 of allG3956 them that believeG4100, thoughG1223 they be not circumcisedG203; thatG1519 righteousnessG1343 might be imputedG3049 unto themG846 alsoG2532:
AndG2532 the fatherG3962 of circumcisionG4061 to them who are notG3756 ofG1537 the circumcisionG4061 onlyG3440, butG235 who alsoG2532 walkG4748 in the stepsG2487 of that faithG4102 of ourG2257 fatherG3962 AbrahamG11, which he had beingG1722 yet uncircumcisedG203.
ForG1063 the promiseG1860, that he should beG1511 theG846 heirG2818 of the worldG2889, was notG3756 to AbrahamG11, orG2228 to hisG846 seedG4690, throughG1223 the lawG3551, butG235 throughG1223 the righteousnessG1343 of faithG4102.
ForG1063 ifG1487 they which are ofG1537 the lawG3551 be heirsG2818, faithG4102 is made voidG2758, andG2532 the promiseG1860 made of none effectG2673:
BecauseG1063 the lawG3551 workethG2716 wrathG3709: forG1063 whereG3757 noG3756 lawG3551 isG2076, there is noG3761 transgressionG3847.
ThereforeG1223+G5124 it is ofG1537 faithG4102, thatG2443 it might be byG2596 graceG5485; to the endG1519 the promiseG1860 might beG1511 sureG949 to allG3956 the seedG4690; notG3756 to that onlyG3440 which is ofG1537 the lawG3551, butG235 to that alsoG2532 which is ofG1537 the faithG4102 of AbrahamG11; whoG3739 isG2076 the fatherG3962 of usG2257 allG3956,
(AsG2531 it is writtenG1125+G3754, I have madeG5087 theeG4571 a fatherG3962 of manyG4183 nationsG1484,) beforeG2713 him whomG3739 he believedG4100, even GodG2316, who quickenethG2227 the deadG3498, andG2532 callethG2564 those things which beG5607 notG3361 as thoughG5613 they wereG5607. {before him: or, like unto him}
WhoG3739 againstG3844 hopeG1680 believedG4100 inG1909 hopeG1680, thatG1519 heG846 might becomeG1096 the fatherG3962 of manyG4183 nationsG1484; accordingG2596 to that which was spokenG2046, SoG3779 shallG2071 thyG4675 seedG4690 beG2071.
AndG2532 being notG3361 weakG770 in faithG4102, he consideredG2657 notG3756 his ownG1438 bodyG4983 nowG2235 deadG3499, when he wasG5225 aboutG4225 an hundred years oldG1541, neither yetG2532 the deadnessG3500 of Sarah'sG4564 wombG3388:
He staggeredG1252 notG3756 atG1519 the promiseG1860 of GodG2316 through unbeliefG570; butG235 was strongG1743 in faithG4102, givingG1325 gloryG1391 to GodG2316;
AndG2532 being fully persuadedG4135 thatG3754, whatG3739 he had promisedG1861, he wasG2076 ableG1415 alsoG2532 to performG4160.
AndG2532 thereforeG1352 it was imputedG3049 to himG846 forG1519 righteousnessG1343.
NowG1161 it wasG1125 notG3756 writtenG1125 for his sakeG1223+G846 aloneG3440, thatG3754 it was imputedG3049 to himG846;
ButG235 forG1223 usG2248 alsoG2532, to whomG3739 it shall beG3195 imputedG3049, if we believeG4100 onG1909 him that raised upG1453 JesusG2424 ourG2257 LordG2962 fromG1537 the deadG3498;
WhoG3739 was deliveredG3860 forG1223 ourG2257 offencesG3900, andG2532 was raised againG1453 forG1223 ourG2257 justificationG1347.
So thenG5620 they which be ofG1537 faithG4102 are blessedG2127 withG4862 faithfulG4103 AbrahamG11.
NowG1161 faithG4102 isG2076 the substanceG5287 of things hoped forG1679, the evidenceG1650 of thingsG4229 notG3756 seenG991. {substance: or, ground, or, confidence}
ForG1063 byG1722 itG5026 the eldersG4245 obtained a good reportG3140.
Through faithG4102 we understandG3539 that the worldsG165 were framedG2675 by the wordG4487 of GodG2316, soG1519 that things whichG3588 are seenG991 wereG1096 notG3361 madeG1096 ofG1537 things which do appearG5316.
By faithG4102 AbelG6 offeredG4374 unto GodG2316 a more excellentG4119 sacrificeG2378 thanG3844 CainG2535, byG1223 whichG3739 he obtained witnessG3140 that he wasG1511 righteousG1342, GodG2316 testifyingG3140 ofG1909 hisG846 giftsG1435: andG2532 byG1223 itG846 he being deadG599 yetG2089 speakethG2980. {yet…: or, is yet spoken of}
By faithG4102 EnochG1802 was translatedG3346 that he shouldG1492 notG3361 seeG1492 deathG2288; andG2532 wasG2147 notG3756 foundG2147, becauseG1360 GodG2316 had translatedG3346 himG846: forG1063 beforeG4253 hisG846 translationG3331 he had this testimonyG3140, that he pleasedG2100 GodG2316.
ButG1161 withoutG5565 faithG4102 it is impossibleG102 to pleaseG2100 him: forG1063 he that comethG4334 to GodG2316 mustG1163 believeG4100 thatG3754 he isG2076, andG2532 that he isG1096 a rewarderG3406 of them that diligently seekG1567 himG846.
By faithG4102 NoahG3575, being warned of GodG5537 ofG4012 things notG3369 seenG991 as yetG3369, moved with fearG2125, preparedG2680 an arkG2787 toG1519 the savingG4991 of hisG846 houseG3624; byG1223 the whichG3739 he condemnedG2632 the worldG2889, andG2532 becameG1096 heirG2818 of the righteousnessG1343 which is byG2596 faithG4102. {moved…: or, being wary}
By faithG4102 AbrahamG11, when he was calledG2564 to go outG1831 intoG1519 a placeG5117 whichG3739 he should afterG3195 receiveG2983 forG1519 an inheritanceG2817, obeyedG5219; andG2532 he went outG1831, notG3361 knowingG1987 whitherG4226 he wentG2064.
By faithG4102 he sojournedG3939 inG1519 the landG1093 of promiseG1860, asG5613 in a strange countryG245, dwellingG2730 inG1722 tabernaclesG4633 withG3326 IsaacG2464 andG2532 JacobG2384, the heirs with himG4789 of the sameG846 promiseG1860:
ForG1063 he looked forG1551 a cityG4172 which hathG2192 foundationsG2310, whoseG3739 builderG5079 andG2532 makerG1217 is GodG2316.
Through faithG4102 alsoG2532 SaraG4564 herselfG846 receivedG2983 strengthG1411 toG1519 conceiveG2602 seedG4690, andG2532 was delivered of a childG5088 when she was pastG3844 ageG2540+G2244, becauseG1893 she judgedG2233 him faithfulG4103 who had promisedG1861.
ThereforeG1352 sprang thereG1080 evenG2532 ofG575 oneG1520, andG2532 himG5023 as good as deadG3499, so many asG2531 the starsG798 of the skyG3772 in multitudeG4128, andG2532 asG5616 the sandG285 whichG3588 is byG3844 the seaG2281 shoreG5491 innumerableG382.
TheseG3778 allG3956 diedG599 inG2596 faithG4102, notG3361 having receivedG2983 the promisesG1860, butG235 having seenG1492 themG846 afar offG4207, andG2532 were persuaded ofG3982 them, andG2532 embracedG782 them, andG2532 confessedG3670 thatG3754 they wereG1526 strangersG3581 andG2532 pilgrimsG3927 onG1909 the earthG1093. {in faith: Gr. according to faith}
ForG1063 they that sayG3004 such thingsG5108 declare plainlyG1718 thatG3754 they seekG1934 a countryG3968.
AndG2532 trulyG3303, ifG1487 they had been mindfulG3421 of thatG1565 country fromG575 whenceG3739 they came outG1831, they mightG302 have hadG2192 opportunityG2540 to have returnedG344.
ButG1161 nowG3570 they desireG3713 a betterG2909 country, that isG5123, an heavenlyG2032: whereforeG1352 GodG2316 isG1870 notG3756 ashamedG1870+G846 to be calledG1941 theirG846 GodG2316: forG1063 he hath preparedG2090 for themG846 a cityG4172.
By faithG4102 AbrahamG11, when he was triedG3985, offered upG4374 IsaacG2464: andG2532 he that had receivedG324 the promisesG1860 offered upG4374 his only begottenG3439 son,
OfG4314 whomG3739 it was saidG2980, ThatG3754 inG1722 IsaacG2464 shallG2564 thyG4671 seedG4690 be calledG2564: {of: or, to}
AccountingG3049 thatG3754 GodG2316 was ableG1415 to raise him upG1453, evenG2532 fromG1537 the deadG3498; from whenceG3606 alsoG2532 he receivedG2865 himG846 inG1722 a figureG3850.
By faithG4102 IsaacG2464 blessedG2127 JacobG2384 andG2532 EsauG2269 concerningG4012 things to comeG3195.
By faithG4102 JacobG2384, when he was a dyingG599, blessedG2127 bothG1538 the sonsG5207 of JosephG2501; andG2532 worshippedG4352, leaning uponG1909 the topG206 of hisG846 staffG4464.
By faithG4102 JosephG2501, when he diedG5053, made mentionG3421 ofG4012 the departingG1841 of the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474; andG2532 gave commandmentG1781 concerningG4012 hisG846 bonesG3747. {made…: or, remembered}
By faithG4102 MosesG3475, when he was bornG1080, was hidG2928 three monthsG5150 ofG5259 hisG846 parentsG3962, becauseG1360 they sawG1492 he was a properG791 childG3813; andG2532 they wereG5399 notG3756 afraidG5399 of the king'sG935 commandmentG1297.
By faithG4102 MosesG3475, when he was comeG1096 to yearsG3173, refusedG720 to be calledG3004 the sonG5207 of Pharaoh'sG5328 daughterG2364;
ChoosingG138 ratherG3123 to suffer afflictionG4778 with the peopleG2992 of GodG2316, thanG2228 to enjoy the pleasuresG2192+G619 of sinG266 for a seasonG4340;
EsteemingG2233 the reproachG3680 of ChristG5547 greaterG3187 richesG4149 thanG2233 the treasuresG2344 inG1722 EgyptG125: forG1063 he had respectG578 untoG1519 the recompence of the rewardG3405. {of Christ: or, for Christ}
By faithG4102 he forsookG2641 EgyptG125, notG3361 fearingG5399 the wrathG2372 of the kingG935: forG1063 he enduredG2594, asG5613 seeingG3708 him who is invisibleG517.
Through faithG4102 he keptG4160 the passoverG3957, andG2532 the sprinklingG4378 of bloodG129, lestG3363 he that destroyedG3645 the firstbornG4416 should touchG2345 themG846.
By faithG4102 they passed throughG1224 the RedG2063 seaG2281 asG5613 byG1223 dryG3584 land: whichG3739 the EgyptiansG124 assayingG3984 to doG2983 were drownedG2666.
By faithG4102 the wallsG5038 of JerichoG2410 fell downG4098, after they were compassedG2944 aboutG1909 sevenG2033 daysG2250.
By faithG4102 the harlotG4204 RahabG4460 perishedG4881 notG3756 with them that believed notG544, when she had receivedG1209 the spiesG2685 withG3326 peaceG1515. {that…: or, that were disobedient}
AndG2532 whatG5101 shall IG3004 moreG2089 sayG3004? forG1063 the timeG5550 would failG1952 meG3165 to tellG1334 ofG4012 GedeonG1066, andG5037 of BarakG913, andG2532 of SamsonG4546, andG2532 of JephthaeG2422; of DavidG1138 alsoG2532, andG5037 SamuelG4545, andG2532 of the prophetsG4396:
WhoG3739 throughG1223 faithG4102 subduedG2610 kingdomsG932, wroughtG2038 righteousnessG1343, obtainedG2013 promisesG1860, stoppedG5420 the mouthsG4750 of lionsG3023,
QuenchedG4570 the violenceG1411 of fireG4442, escapedG5343 the edgeG4750 of the swordG3162, out ofG575 weaknessG769 were made strongG1743, waxedG1096 valiantG2478 inG1722 fightG4171, turned to flightG2827 the armiesG3925 of the aliensG245.
WomenG1135 receivedG2983 theirG846 deadG3498 raised to life againG1537+G386: andG1161 othersG243 were torturedG5178, notG3756 acceptingG4327 deliveranceG629; thatG2443 they might obtainG5177 a betterG2909 resurrectionG386:
AndG1161 othersG2087 hadG2983 trialG3984 of cruel mockingsG1701 andG2532 scourgingsG3148, yeaG1161, moreoverG2089 of bondsG1199 andG2532 imprisonmentG5438:
They were stonedG3034, they were sawn asunderG4249, were temptedG3985, were slainG599 withG1722 the swordG5408+G3162: they wandered aboutG4022 inG1722 sheepskinsG3374 andG1722 goatskinsG122+G1192; being destituteG5302, afflictedG2346, tormentedG2558;
(Of whomG3739 the worldG2889 wasG2258 notG3756 worthyG514:) they wanderedG4105 inG1722 desertsG2047, andG2532 in mountainsG3735, andG2532 in densG4693 andG2532 cavesG3692 of the earthG1093.
AndG2532 theseG3778 allG3956, having obtained a good reportG3140 throughG1223 faithG4102, receivedG2865 notG3756 the promiseG1860:
GodG2316 having providedG4265 someG5100 betterG2909 thingG5100 forG4012 usG2257, thatG3363 theyG5048 withoutG5565 usG2257 shouldG5048 notG3363 be made perfectG5048. {provided: or, foreseen}
So thenG5620 they which be ofG1537 faithG4102 are blessedG2127 withG4862 faithfulG4103 AbrahamG11.
ChristG5547 hath redeemedG1805 usG2248 fromG1537 the curseG2671 of the lawG3551, being madeG1096 a curseG2671 forG5228 usG2257: forG1063 it is writtenG1125, CursedG1944 is every oneG3956 that hangethG2910 onG1909 a treeG3586:
(AsG2531 it is writtenG1125+G3754, I have madeG5087 theeG4571 a fatherG3962 of manyG4183 nationsG1484,) beforeG2713 him whomG3739 he believedG4100, even GodG2316, who quickenethG2227 the deadG3498, andG2532 callethG2564 those things which beG5607 notG3361 as thoughG5613 they wereG5607. {before him: or, like unto him}
WhoG3739 againstG3844 hopeG1680 believedG4100 inG1909 hopeG1680, thatG1519 heG846 might becomeG1096 the fatherG3962 of manyG4183 nationsG1484; accordingG2596 to that which was spokenG2046, SoG3779 shallG2071 thyG4675 seedG4690 beG2071.
AndG2532 being notG3361 weakG770 in faithG4102, he consideredG2657 notG3756 his ownG1438 bodyG4983 nowG2235 deadG3499, when he wasG5225 aboutG4225 an hundred years oldG1541, neither yetG2532 the deadnessG3500 of Sarah'sG4564 wombG3388:
He staggeredG1252 notG3756 atG1519 the promiseG1860 of GodG2316 through unbeliefG570; butG235 was strongG1743 in faithG4102, givingG1325 gloryG1391 to GodG2316;
AndG2532 being fully persuadedG4135 thatG3754, whatG3739 he had promisedG1861, he wasG2076 ableG1415 alsoG2532 to performG4160.
AndG2532 thereforeG1352 it was imputedG3049 to himG846 forG1519 righteousnessG1343.
NowG1161 it wasG1125 notG3756 writtenG1125 for his sakeG1223+G846 aloneG3440, thatG3754 it was imputedG3049 to himG846;
ButG235 forG1223 usG2248 alsoG2532, to whomG3739 it shall beG3195 imputedG3049, if we believeG4100 onG1909 him that raised upG1453 JesusG2424 ourG2257 LordG2962 fromG1537 the deadG3498;
WhoG3739 was deliveredG3860 forG1223 ourG2257 offencesG3900, andG2532 was raised againG1453 forG1223 ourG2257 justificationG1347.
AccountingG3049 thatG3754 GodG2316 was ableG1415 to raise him upG1453, evenG2532 fromG1537 the deadG3498; from whenceG3606 alsoG2532 he receivedG2865 himG846 inG1722 a figureG3850.
WhoG3739 alsoG2532 hath madeG2427 usG2248 ableG2427 ministersG1249 of the newG2537 testamentG1242; notG3756 of the letterG1121, butG235 of the spiritG4151: forG1063 the letterG1121 killethG615, butG1161 the spiritG4151 giveth lifeG2227. {giveth life: or, quickeneth}
ForG1161 IG1473 was aliveG2198 withoutG5565 the lawG3551 onceG4218: butG1161 when the commandmentG1785 cameG2064, sinG266 revivedG326, andG1161 IG1473 diedG599.
BrethrenG80, myG1699 heart'sG2588 desireG2107 andG2532 prayerG1162 toG4314 GodG2316 forG5228 IsraelG2474 isG2076, thatG3303+G1519 they might be savedG4991.
ForG1063 I bearG3140 themG846 recordG3140 thatG3754 they haveG2192 a zealG2205 of GodG2316, butG235 notG3756 accordingG2596 to knowledgeG1922.
ForG1063 they being ignorantG50 of God'sG2316 righteousnessG1343, andG2532 going aboutG2212 to establishG2476 their ownG2398 righteousnessG1343, haveG5293 notG3756 submitted themselvesG5293 unto the righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316.
ForG1063 ChristG5547 is the endG5056 of the lawG3551 forG1519 righteousnessG1343 to every oneG3956 that believethG4100.
ForG1063 MosesG3475 describethG1125 the righteousnessG1343 whichG3588 is ofG1537 the lawG3551, ThatG3754 the manG444 which doethG4160 those thingsG846 shall liveG2198 byG1722 themG846.
ButG1161 the righteousnessG1343 which is ofG1537 faithG4102 speakethG3004 on this wiseG3779, SayG2036 notG3361 inG1722 thineG4675 heartG2588, WhoG5101 shall ascendG305 intoG1519 heavenG3772? (that isG5123, to bringG2609 ChristG5547 downG2609 from above:)
OrG2228, WhoG5101 shall descendG2597 intoG1519 the deepG12? (that isG5123, to bring upG321 ChristG5547 againG321 fromG1537 the deadG3498.)
ButG235 whatG5101 saith itG3004? The wordG4487 isG2076 nighG1451 theeG4675, even inG1722 thyG4675 mouthG4750, andG2532 inG1722 thyG4675 heartG2588: that isG5123, the wordG4487 of faithG4102, whichG3739 we preachG2784;
ThatG3754 ifG1437 thou shalt confessG3670 withG1722 thyG4675 mouthG4750 the LordG2962 JesusG2424, andG2532 shalt believeG4100 inG1722 thineG4675 heartG2588 thatG3754 GodG2316 hath raisedG1453 himG846 fromG1537 the deadG3498, thou shalt be savedG4982.
ForG1063 with the heartG2588 man believethG4100 untoG1519 righteousnessG1343; andG1161 with the mouthG4750 confession is madeG3670 untoG1519 salvationG4991.
ForG1063 the scriptureG1124 saithG3004, WhosoeverG3956 believethG4100 onG1909 himG846 shallG2617 notG3756 be ashamedG2617.
ForG1063 there isG2076 noG3756 differenceG1293 betweenG5037 the JewG2453 andG2532 the GreekG1672: forG1063 the sameG846 LordG2962 over allG3956 is richG4147 untoG1519 allG3956 that call uponG1941 himG846.
ForG3956+G1063 whosoeverG3739+G302 shall call uponG1941 the nameG3686 of the LordG2962 shall be savedG4982.
HowG4459 thenG3767 shall they call onG1941 him inG1519 whomG3739 they haveG4100 notG3756 believedG4100? andG1161 howG4459 shall they believe inG4100 him of whomG3739 they haveG191 notG3756 heardG191? andG1161 howG4459 shall they hearG191 withoutG5565 a preacherG2784?
AndG1161 howG4459 shall they preachG2784, exceptG3362 they be sentG649? asG2531 it is writtenG1125, HowG5613 beautifulG5611 are the feet of themG4228 that preach the gospelG2097 of peaceG1515, and bring glad tidingsG2097 of good thingsG18!
ButG235 they haveG5219 notG3756 allG3956 obeyedG5219 the gospelG2098. ForG1063 EsaiasG2268 saithG3004, LordG2962, whoG5101 hath believedG4100 ourG2257 reportG189? {our report: Gr. the hearing of us?} {report: or, preaching?}
So thenG686 faithG4102 cometh byG1537 hearingG189, andG1161 hearingG189 byG1223 the wordG4487 of GodG2316.
ButG235 I sayG3004, HaveG191 they notG3378 heardG191? Yes verilyG3304, theirG846 soundG5353 wentG1831 intoG1519 allG3956 the earthG1093, andG2532 theirG846 wordsG4487 untoG1519 the endsG4009 of the worldG3625.
ButG235 I sayG3004, DidG1097 notG3378 IsraelG2474 knowG1097? FirstG4413 MosesG3475 saithG3004, IG1473 will provokeG3863 youG5209 to jealousyG3863 byG1909 them that are noG3756 peopleG1484, and byG1909 a foolishG801 nationG1484 I will angerG3949 youG5209.
ButG1161 EsaiasG2268 is very boldG662, andG2532 saithG3004, I was foundG2147 of them that soughtG2212 meG1691 notG3361; I was madeG1096 manifestG1717 unto them that askedG1905 notG3361 afterG1905 meG1691.
ButG1161 toG4314 IsraelG2474 he saithG3004, AllG3650 day longG2250 I have stretched forthG1600 myG3450 handsG5495 untoG4314 a disobedientG544 andG2532 gainsayingG483 peopleG2992.
ForG1063 IG1473 throughG1223 the lawG3551 am deadG599 to the lawG3551, thatG2443 I might liveG2198 unto GodG2316.
ChristG5547 hath redeemedG1805 usG2248 fromG1537 the curseG2671 of the lawG3551, being madeG1096 a curseG2671 forG5228 usG2257: forG1063 it is writtenG1125, CursedG1944 is every oneG3956 that hangethG2910 onG1909 a treeG3586:
AccountingG3049 thatG3754 GodG2316 was ableG1415 to raise him upG1453, evenG2532 fromG1537 the deadG3498; from whenceG3606 alsoG2532 he receivedG2865 himG846 inG1722 a figureG3850.
(AsG2531 it is writtenG1125+G3754, I have madeG5087 theeG4571 a fatherG3962 of manyG4183 nationsG1484,) beforeG2713 him whomG3739 he believedG4100, even GodG2316, who quickenethG2227 the deadG3498, andG2532 callethG2564 those things which beG5607 notG3361 as thoughG5613 they wereG5607. {before him: or, like unto him}
AndG2532 sayingG3004+G3754, The timeG2540 is fulfilledG4137, andG2532 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 is at handG1448: repent yeG3340, andG2532 believeG4100+G1722 the gospelG2098.
WhereforeG5101 thenG3767 serveth the lawG3551? It was addedG4369 because ofG5484 transgressionsG3847, tillG891+G3739 the seedG4690 should comeG2064 to whomG3739 the promise was madeG1861; and it was ordainedG1299 byG1223 angelsG32 inG1722 the handG5495 of a mediatorG3316.
ForG1063 ChristG5547 is the endG5056 of the lawG3551 forG1519 righteousnessG1343 to every oneG3956 that believethG4100.
Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that I will makeH3772 a newH2319 covenantH1285 with the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, and with the houseH1004 of JudahH3063:
Not according to the covenantH1285 that I madeH3772 with their fathersH1 in the dayH3117 that I tookH2388 them by the handH3027 to bring them outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714; which my covenantH1285 they brakeH6565, although I was an husbandH1166 unto them, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: {although…: or, should I have continued an husband unto them?}
But this shall be the covenantH1285 that I will makeH3772 with the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; AfterH310 those daysH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, I will putH5414 my lawH8451 in their inward partsH7130, and writeH3789 it in their heartsH3820; and will be their GodH430, and they shall be my peopleH5971.
And they shall teachH3925 no more every manH376 his neighbourH7453, and every manH376 his brotherH251, sayingH559, KnowH3045 the LORDH3068: for they shall all knowH3045 me, from the leastH6996 of them unto the greatestH1419 of them, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: for I will forgiveH5545 their iniquityH5771, and I will rememberH2142 their sinH2403 no more.
ThereforeG3767 beingG5225 a prophetG4396, andG2532 knowingG1492 thatG3754 GodG2316 had swornG3660 with an oathG3727 to himG846, that ofG1537 the fruitG2590 of hisG846 loinsG3751, according toG2596 the fleshG4561, he would raise upG450 ChristG5547 to sitG2523 onG1909 hisG846 throneG2362;
The LORDH3068 hath swornH7650, and will not repentH5162, Thou art a priestH3548 for everH5769 after the orderH1700 of MelchizedekH4442.
A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. The LORDH3068 saidH5002 unto my LordH113, SitH3427 thou at my right handH3225, until I makeH7896 thine enemiesH341 thy footstoolH1916+H7272.
WhileG1161 the PhariseesG5330 were gathered togetherG4863, JesusG2424 askedG1905 themG846,
SayingG3004, WhatG5101 thinkG1380 yeG5213 ofG4012 ChristG5547? whoseG5101 sonG5207 is heG2076? They sayG3004 unto himG846, The Son of DavidG1138.
He saithG3004 unto themG846, HowG4459 thenG3767 doth DavidG1138 inG1722 spiritG4151 callG2564 himG846 LordG2962, sayingG3004,
The LORDG2962 saidG2036 unto myG3450 LordG2962, Sit thouG2521 onG1537 myG3450 right handG1188, tillG2193+G302 I makeG5087 thineG4675 enemiesG2190 thyG4675 footstoolG5286+G4228?
IfG1487 DavidG1138 thenG3767 callG2564 himG846 LordG2962, howG4459 is heG2076 hisG846 sonG5207?
Now it came to pass, as DavidH1732 satH3427 in his houseH1004, that DavidH1732 saidH559 to NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, Lo, I dwellH3427 in an houseH1004 of cedarsH730, but the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 remaineth under curtainsH3407.
Then NathanH5416 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, DoH6213 all that is in thine heartH3824; for GodH430 is with thee.
And it came to pass the same nightH3915, that the wordH1697 of GodH430 came to NathanH5416, sayingH559,
GoH3212 and tellH559 DavidH1732 my servantH5650, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Thou shalt not buildH1129 me an houseH1004 to dwell inH3427:
For I have not dwelt inH3427 an houseH1004 since the dayH3117 that I brought upH5927 IsraelH3478 unto this dayH3117; but have gone from tentH168 to tentH168, and from one tabernacleH4908 to another. {have gone: Heb. have been}
Wheresoever I have walkedH1980 with all IsraelH3478, spakeH1696 I a wordH1697 to anyH259 of the judgesH8199 of IsraelH3478, whom I commandedH6680 to feedH7462 my peopleH5971, sayingH559, Why have ye not builtH1129 me an houseH1004 of cedarsH730?
Now therefore thus shalt thou sayH559 unto my servantH5650 DavidH1732, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, I tookH3947 thee from the sheepcoteH5116, even from followingH310 the sheepH6629, that thou shouldest be rulerH5057 over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478: {from following: Heb. from after}
And I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast walkedH1980, and have cut offH3772 all thine enemiesH341 from beforeH6440 thee, and have madeH6213 thee a nameH8034 like the nameH8034 of the great menH1419 that are in the earthH776.
Also I will ordainH7760 a placeH4725 for my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and will plantH5193 them, and they shall dwellH7931 in their place, and shall be movedH7264 no more; neither shall the childrenH1121 of wickednessH5766 wasteH1086 them any moreH3254, as at the beginningH7223,
And since the timeH3117 that I commandedH6680 judgesH8199 to be over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478. Moreover I will subdueH3665 all thine enemiesH341. Furthermore I tellH5046 thee that the LORDH3068 will buildH1129 thee an houseH1004.
And it shall come to pass, when thy daysH3117 be expiredH4390 that thou must goH3212 to be with thy fathersH1, that I will raise upH6965 thy seedH2233 afterH310 thee, which shall be of thy sonsH1121; and I will establishH3559 his kingdomH4438.
He shall buildH1129 me an houseH1004, and I will stablishH3559 his throneH3678 forH5704 everH5769.
I will be his fatherH1, and he shall be my sonH1121: and I will not takeH5493 my mercyH2617 awayH5493 from him, as I tookH5493 it from him that was beforeH6440 thee:
But I will settleH5975 him in mine houseH1004 and in my kingdomH4438 for everH5769: and his throneH3678 shall be establishedH3559 forH5704 evermoreH5769.
According to all these wordsH1697, and according to all this visionH2377, so did NathanH5416 speakH1696 unto DavidH1732.
And DavidH1732 the kingH4428 cameH935 and satH3427 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and saidH559, Who am I, O LORDH3068 GodH430, and what is mine houseH1004, that thou hast broughtH935 me hithertoH1988?
And yet this was a small thingH6994 in thine eyesH5869, O GodH430; for thou hast also spokenH1696 of thy servant'sH5650 houseH1004 for a great while to comeH7350, and hast regardedH7200 me according to the estateH8448 of a manH120 of high degreeH4609, O LORDH3068 GodH430.
What canH3254 DavidH1732 speak moreH3254 to thee for the honourH3519 of thy servantH5650? for thou knowestH3045 thy servantH5650.
O LORDH3068, for thy servant'sH5650 sake, and according to thine own heartH3820, hast thou doneH6213 all this greatnessH1420, in making knownH3045 all these great thingsH1420. {great…: Heb. greatnesses}
O LORDH3068, there is none like thee, neither is there any GodH430 besideH2108 thee, according to all that we have heardH8085 with our earsH241.
And what oneH259 nationH1471 in the earthH776 is like thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, whom GodH430 wentH1980 to redeemH6299 to be his own peopleH5971, to makeH7760 thee a nameH8034 of greatnessH1420 and terriblenessH3372, by driving outH1644 nationsH1471 from beforeH6440 thy peopleH5971, whom thou hast redeemedH6299 out of EgyptH4714?
For thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 didst thou makeH5414 thine own peopleH5971 forH5704 everH5769; and thou, LORDH3068, becamest their GodH430.
Therefore now, LORDH3068, let the thingH1697 that thou hast spokenH1696 concerning thy servantH5650 and concerning his houseH1004 be establishedH539 forH5704 everH5769, and doH6213 as thou hast saidH1696.
Let it even be establishedH539, that thy nameH8034 may be magnifiedH1431 forH5704 everH5769, sayingH559, The LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 is the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, even a GodH430 to IsraelH3478: and let the houseH1004 of DavidH1732 thy servantH5650 be establishedH3559 beforeH6440 thee.
For thou, O my GodH430, hast toldH1540+H241 thy servantH5650 that thou wilt buildH1129 him an houseH1004: therefore thy servantH5650 hath foundH4672 in his heart to prayH6419 beforeH6440 thee. {hast…: Heb. hast revealed the ear of thy servant}
And now, LORDH3068, thou art GodH430, and hast promisedH1696 this goodnessH2896 unto thy servantH5650:
Now therefore let it pleaseH2974 thee to blessH1288 the houseH1004 of thy servantH5650, that it may be beforeH6440 thee for everH5769: for thou blessestH1288, O LORDH3068, and it shall be blessedH1288 for everH5769. {let…: or, it hath pleased thee}
And it came to pass, when the kingH4428 satH3427 in his houseH1004, and the LORDH3068 had given him restH5117 round aboutH5439 from all his enemiesH341;
That the kingH4428 saidH559 unto NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, SeeH7200 now, I dwellH3427 in an houseH1004 of cedarH730, but the arkH727 of GodH430 dwellethH3427 withinH8432 curtainsH3407.
And NathanH5416 saidH559 to the kingH4428, GoH3212, doH6213 all that is in thine heartH3824; for the LORDH3068 is with thee.
And it came to pass that nightH3915, that the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto NathanH5416, sayingH559,
GoH3212 and tellH559 my servantH5650 DavidH1732, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Shalt thou buildH1129 me an houseH1004 for me to dwell inH3427? {my servant…: Heb. to my servant, to David}
Whereas I have not dweltH3427 in any houseH1004 since the timeH3117 that I brought upH5927 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 out of EgyptH4714, even to this dayH3117, but have walkedH1980 in a tentH168 and in a tabernacleH4908.
In all the places wherein I have walkedH1980 with all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 spakeH1696 I a wordH1697 with anyH259 of the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, whom I commandedH6680 to feedH7462 my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, sayingH559, Why buildH1129 ye not me an houseH1004 of cedarH730? {any of…: any of the judges}
Now therefore so shalt thou sayH559 unto my servantH5650 DavidH1732, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, I tookH3947 thee from the sheepcoteH5116, from followingH310 the sheepH6629, to be rulerH5057 over my peopleH5971, over IsraelH3478: {from following: Heb. from after}
And I was with thee whithersoever thou wentestH1980, and have cut offH3772 all thine enemiesH341 out of thy sightH6440, and have madeH6213 thee a greatH1419 nameH8034, like unto the nameH8034 of the greatH1419 men that are in the earthH776. {out of…: Heb. from thy face}
Moreover I will appointH7760 a placeH4725 for my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and will plantH5193 them, that they may dwellH7931 in a place of their own, and moveH7264 no more; neither shall the childrenH1121 of wickednessH5766 afflictH6031 them any moreH3254, as beforetimeH7223,
And as since the timeH3117 that I commandedH6680 judgesH8199 to be over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and have caused thee to restH5117 from all thine enemiesH341. Also the LORDH3068 tellethH5046 thee that he will makeH6213 thee an houseH1004.
And when thy daysH3117 be fulfilledH4390, and thou shalt sleepH7901 with thy fathersH1, I will set upH6965 thy seedH2233 afterH310 thee, which shall proceedH3318 out of thy bowelsH4578, and I will establishH3559 his kingdomH4467.
He shall buildH1129 an houseH1004 for my nameH8034, and I will stablishH3559 the throneH3678 of his kingdomH4467 forH5704 everH5769.
I will be his fatherH1, and he shall be my sonH1121. If he commit iniquityH5753, I will chastenH3198 him with the rodH7626 of menH582, and with the stripesH5061 of the childrenH1121 of menH120:
But my mercyH2617 shall not depart awayH5493 from him, as I tookH5493 it from SaulH7586, whom I put awayH5493 beforeH6440 thee.
And thine houseH1004 and thy kingdomH4467 shall be establishedH539 forH5704 everH5769 beforeH6440 thee: thy throneH3678 shall be establishedH3559 forH5704 everH5769.
According to all these wordsH1697, and according to all this visionH2384, so did NathanH5416 speakH1696 unto DavidH1732.
Then wentH935 kingH4428 DavidH1732 in, and satH3427 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and he saidH559, Who am I, O LordH136 GODH3069? and what is my houseH1004, that thou hast broughtH935 me hithertoH1988?
And this was yet a small thingH6994 in thy sightH5869, O LordH136 GODH3069; but thou hast spokenH1696 also of thy servant'sH5650 houseH1004 for a great while to comeH7350. And is this the mannerH8452 of manH120, O LordH136 GODH3069? {manner: Heb. law}
And what canH3254 DavidH1732 sayH1696 moreH3254 unto thee? for thou, LordH136 GODH3069, knowestH3045 thy servantH5650.
For thy word'sH1697 sake, and according to thine own heartH3820, hast thou doneH6213 all these great thingsH1420, to make thy servantH5650 knowH3045 them.
Wherefore thou art greatH1431, O LORDH3068 GodH430: for there is none like thee, neither is there any GodH430 besideH2108 thee, according to all that we have heardH8085 with our earsH241.
And what oneH259 nationH1471 in the earthH776 is like thy peopleH5971, even like IsraelH3478, whom GodH430 wentH1980 to redeemH6299 for a peopleH5971 to himself, and to makeH7760 him a nameH8034, and to doH6213 for you great thingsH1420 and terribleH3372, for thy landH776, beforeH6440 thy peopleH5971, which thou redeemedstH6299 to thee from EgyptH4714, from the nationsH1471 and their godsH430?
For thou hast confirmedH3559 to thyself thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 to be a peopleH5971 unto thee forH5704 everH5769: and thou, LORDH3068, art becomeH1961 their GodH430.
And now, O LORDH3068 GodH430, the wordH1697 that thou hast spokenH1696 concerning thy servantH5650, and concerning his houseH1004, establishH6965 it forH5704 everH5769, and doH6213 as thou hast saidH1696.
And let thy nameH8034 be magnifiedH1431 forH5704 everH5769, sayingH559, The LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 is the GodH430 over IsraelH3478: and let the houseH1004 of thy servantH5650 DavidH1732 be establishedH3559 beforeH6440 thee.
For thou, O LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, GodH430 of IsraelH3478, hast revealedH1540+H241 to thy servantH5650, sayingH559, I will buildH1129 thee an houseH1004: therefore hath thy servantH5650 foundH4672 in his heartH3820 to prayH6419 this prayerH8605 unto thee. {revealed: Heb. opened the ear}
And now, O LordH136 GODH3069, thou art that GodH430, and thy wordsH1697 be trueH571, and thou hast promisedH1696 this goodnessH2896 unto thy servantH5650:
Therefore now let it pleaseH2974 thee to blessH1288 the houseH1004 of thy servantH5650, that it may continue for everH5769 beforeH6440 thee: for thou, O LordH136 GODH3069, hast spokenH1696 it: and with thy blessingH1293 let the houseH1004 of thy servantH5650 be blessedH1288 for everH5769. {let it…: Heb. be thou pleased and bless}
And there shall come forthH3318 a rodH2415 out of the stemH1503 of JesseH3448, and a BranchH5342 shall growH6509 out of his rootsH8328:
For JudahH3063 prevailedH1396 above his brethrenH251, and of him came the chief rulerH5057; but the birthrightH1062 was Joseph'sH3130:) {chief…: or, prince}
IfG1487+G3303 thereforeG3767 perfectionG5050 wereG2258 byG1223 the LeviticalG3020 priesthoodG2420, (forG1063 underG1909 itG846 the peopleG2992 received the lawG3549,) whatG5101 furtherG2089 needG5532 was there that anotherG2087 priestG2409 should riseG450 afterG2596 the orderG5010 of MelchisedecG3198, andG2532 notG3756 be calledG3004 afterG2596 the orderG5010 of AaronG2?
ForG1063 the priesthoodG2420 being changedG3346, there is madeG1096 ofG1537 necessityG318 a changeG3331 alsoG2532 of the lawG3551.
ForG1063 he ofG1909 whomG3739 these thingsG5023 are spokenG3004 pertainethG3348 to anotherG2087 tribeG5443, ofG575 whichG3739 no manG3762 gave attendanceG4337 at the altarG2379.
ForG1063 it is evidentG4271 thatG3754 ourG2257 LordG2962 sprangG393 out ofG1537 JudaG2455; ofG1519 whichG3739 tribeG5443 MosesG3475 spakeG2980 nothingG3762 concerningG4012 priesthoodG2420.
AndG2532 it isG2076 yetG2089 far moreG4054 evidentG2612: forG1487 that afterG2596 the similitudeG3665 of MelchisedecG3198 there arisethG450 anotherG2087 priestG2409,
WhoG3739 is madeG1096, notG3756 afterG2596 the lawG3551 of a carnalG4559 commandmentG1785, butG235 afterG2596 the powerG1411 of an endlessG179 lifeG2222.
ForG1063 he testifiethG3140+G3754, ThouG4771 art a priestG2409 forG1519 everG165 afterG2596 the orderG5010 of MelchisedecG3198.
ForG1063 whosoeverG3748 shall keepG5083 the wholeG3650 lawG3551, and yetG1161 offendG4417 inG1722 oneG1520 point, he isG1096 guiltyG1777 of allG3956.
ForG1063 the priesthoodG2420 being changedG3346, there is madeG1096 ofG1537 necessityG318 a changeG3331 alsoG2532 of the lawG3551.
ForG1063 heG846 isG2076 ourG2257 peaceG1515, whoG3588 hath madeG4160 bothG297 oneG1520, andG2532 hath broken downG3089 the middle wallG3320 of partitionG5418 between us;
He shewethH5046 his wordH1697+H1697 unto JacobH3290, his statutesH2706 and his judgmentsH4941 unto IsraelH3478. {his word: Heb. his words}
To the chief MusicianH5329, A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. The LORDH3068 hearH6030 thee in the dayH3117 of troubleH6869; the nameH8034 of the GodH430 of JacobH3290 defendH7682 thee; {defend…: Heb. set thee on an high place}
SendH7971 thee helpH5828 from the sanctuaryH6944, and strengthenH5582 thee out of ZionH6726; {thee help: Heb. thy help} {strengthen: Heb. support}
RememberH2142 all thy offeringsH4503, and acceptH1878 thy burnt sacrificeH5930; SelahH5542. {accept: Heb. turn to ashes: or, make fat}
GrantH5414 thee according to thine own heartH3824, and fulfilH4390 all thy counselH6098.
We will rejoiceH7442 in thy salvationH3444, and in the nameH8034 of our GodH430 we will set up our bannersH1713: the LORDH3068 fulfilH4390 all thy petitionsH4862.
Now knowH3045 I that the LORDH3068 savethH3467 his anointedH4899; he will hearH6030 him from his holyH6944 heavenH8064 with the savingH3468 strengthH1369 of his right handH3225. {his holy…: Heb. the heaven of his holiness} {with…: Heb. by the strength of the salvation of}
Some trust in chariotsH7393, and some in horsesH5483: but we will rememberH2142 the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430.
They are brought downH3766 and fallenH5307: but we are risenH6965, and stand uprightH5749.
SaveH3467, LORDH3068: let the kingH4428 hearH6030 us whenH3117 we callH7121.
SpeakH1696 thou also unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, VerilyH389 my sabbathsH7676 ye shall keepH8104: for it is a signH226 between me and you throughout your generationsH1755; that ye may knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068 that doth sanctifyH6942 you.
And they took their journeyH5265 from ElimH362, and all the congregationH5712 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 cameH935 unto the wildernessH4057 of SinH5512, which is between ElimH362 and SinaiH5514, on the fifteenthH2568+H6240 dayH3117 of the secondH8145 monthH2320 after their departing outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
And the whole congregationH5712 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 murmuredH3885 against MosesH4872 and AaronH175 in the wildernessH4057:
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto them, Would to GodH4310+H5414 we had diedH4191 by the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, when we satH3427 by the fleshH1320 potsH5518, and when we did eatH398 breadH3899 to the fullH7648; for ye have brought us forthH3318 into this wildernessH4057, to killH4191 this whole assemblyH6951 with hungerH7458.
Then saidH559 the LORDH3068 unto MosesH4872, Behold, I will rainH4305 breadH3899 from heavenH8064 for you; and the peopleH5971 shall go outH3318 and gatherH3950 a certain rateH1697 every dayH3117+H3117, that I may proveH5254 them, whether they will walkH3212 in my lawH8451, or no. {a certain…: Heb. the portion of a day in his day}
And it shall come to pass, that on the sixthH8345 dayH3117 they shall prepareH3559 that whichH834 they bring inH935; and it shall be twiceH4932 as much as they gatherH3950 dailyH3117+H3117.
And MosesH4872 and AaronH175 saidH559 unto all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, At evenH6153, then ye shall knowH3045 that the LORDH3068 hath brought you outH3318 from the landH776 of EgyptH4714:
And in the morningH1242, then ye shall seeH7200 the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068; for that he hearethH8085 your murmuringsH8519 against the LORDH3068: and what are weH5168, that ye murmurH3885+H3885 against us?
And MosesH4872 saidH559, This shall be, when the LORDH3068 shall giveH5414 you in the eveningH6153 fleshH1320 to eatH398, and in the morningH1242 breadH3899 to the fullH7646; for that the LORDH3068 hearethH8085 your murmuringsH8519 which ye murmurH3885 against him: and what are weH5168? your murmuringsH8519 are not against us, but against the LORDH3068.
And MosesH4872 spakeH559 unto AaronH175, SayH559 unto all the congregationH5712 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, Come nearH7126 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068: for he hath heardH8085 your murmuringsH8519.
And it came to pass, as AaronH175 spakeH1696 unto the whole congregationH5712 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, that they lookedH6437 toward the wildernessH4057, and, behold, the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 in the cloudH6051.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872, sayingH559,
I have heardH8085 the murmuringsH8519 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: speakH1696 unto them, sayingH559, At evenH996+H6153 ye shall eatH398 fleshH1320, and in the morningH1242 ye shall be filledH7646 with breadH3899; and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430.
And it came to pass, that at evenH6153 the quailsH7958 came upH5927, and coveredH3680 the campH4264: and in the morningH1242 the dewH2919 layH7902 round aboutH5439 the hostH4264.
And when the dewH2919 that layH7902 was gone upH5927, behold, upon the faceH6440 of the wildernessH4057 there lay a smallH1851 round thingH2636, as smallH1851 as the hoar frostH3713 on the groundH776.
And when the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 sawH7200 it, they saidH559 oneH376 to anotherH251, It is mannaH4478: for they wistH3045 not what it was. And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto them, This is the breadH3899 which the LORDH3068 hath givenH5414 you to eatH402. {It is…: or, What is this? or, It is a portion}
This is the thingH1697 whichH834 the LORDH3068 hath commandedH6680, GatherH3950 of it every manH376 accordingH6310 to his eatingH400, an omerH6016 for every manH1538, according to the numberH4557 of your personsH5315; takeH3947 ye every manH376 for them which are in his tentsH168. {for every…: Heb. by the poll, or, head} {persons: Heb. souls}
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 didH6213 so, and gatheredH3950, some moreH7235, some lessH4591.
And when they did meteH4058 it with an omerH6016, he that gathered muchH7235 had nothing overH5736, and he that gathered littleH4591 had no lackH2637; they gatheredH3950 every manH376 accordingH6310 to his eatingH400.
And MosesH4872 saidH559, Let no manH376 leaveH3498 of it till the morningH1242.
Notwithstanding they hearkenedH8085 not unto MosesH4872; but someH582 of them leftH3498 of it until the morningH1242, and it bredH7311 wormsH8438, and stankH887: and MosesH4872 was wrothH7107 with them.
And they gatheredH3950 it every morningH1242, every manH376 accordingH6310 to his eatingH400: and when the sunH8121 waxed hotH2552, it meltedH4549.
And it came to pass, that on the sixthH8345 dayH3117 they gatheredH3950 twiceH4932 as much breadH3899, twoH8147 omersH6016 for oneH259 man: and all the rulersH5387 of the congregationH5712 cameH935 and toldH5046 MosesH4872.
And he saidH559 unto them, This is that which the LORDH3068 hath saidH1696, To morrowH4279 is the restH7677 of the holyH6944 sabbathH7676 unto the LORDH3068: bakeH644 that which ye will bakeH644 to day, and seetheH1310 that ye will seetheH1310; and that whichH3605 remaineth overH5736 lay upH3240 for you to be keptH4931 until the morningH1242.
And they laid it upH3240 till the morningH1242, as MosesH4872 badeH6680: and it did not stinkH887, neither was there any wormH7415 therein.
And MosesH4872 saidH559, EatH398 that to dayH3117; for to dayH3117 is a sabbathH7676 unto the LORDH3068: to dayH3117 ye shall not findH4672 it in the fieldH7704.
SixH8337 daysH3117 ye shall gatherH3950 it; but on the seventhH7637 dayH3117, which is the sabbathH7676, in it there shall be none.
And it came to pass, that there went outH3318 some of the peopleH5971 on the seventhH7637 dayH3117 for to gatherH3950, and they foundH4672 none.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, How long refuseH3985 ye to keepH8104 my commandmentsH4687 and my lawsH8451?
SeeH7200, for that the LORDH3068 hath givenH5414 you the sabbathH7676, therefore he givethH5414 you on the sixthH8345 dayH3117 the breadH3899 of two daysH3117; abideH3427 ye every manH376 in his place, let no manH376 go outH3318 of his placeH4725 on the seventhH7637 dayH3117.
So the peopleH5971 restedH7673 on the seventhH7637 dayH3117.
And the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 calledH7121 the nameH8034 thereof MannaH4478: and it was like corianderH1407 seedH2233, whiteH3836; and the tasteH2940 of it was like wafersH6838 made with honeyH1706.
And MosesH4872 saidH559, This is the thingH1697 which the LORDH3068 commandethH6680, FillH4393 an omerH6016 of it to be keptH4931 for your generationsH1755; that they may seeH7200 the breadH3899 wherewith I have fedH398 you in the wildernessH4057, when I brought you forthH3318 from the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto AaronH175, TakeH3947 aH259 potH6803, and putH5414 an omerH6016 fullH4393 of mannaH4478 therein, and lay it upH3240 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, to be keptH4931 for your generationsH1755.
As the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 MosesH4872, so AaronH175 laid it upH3240 beforeH6440 the TestimonyH5715, to be keptH4931.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 did eatH398 mannaH4478 fortyH705 yearsH8141, until they cameH935 to a landH776 inhabitedH3427; they did eatH398 mannaH4478, until they cameH935 unto the bordersH7097 of the landH776 of CanaanH3667.
Now an omerH6016 is the tenthH6224 part of an ephahH374.
And all the congregationH5712 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 journeyedH5265 from the wildernessH4057 of SinH5512, after their journeysH4550, according to the commandmentH6310 of the LORDH3068, and pitchedH2583 in RephidimH7508: and there was no waterH4325 for the peopleH5971 to drinkH8354.
Wherefore the peopleH5971 did chideH7378 with MosesH4872, and saidH559, GiveH5414 us waterH4325 that we may drinkH8354. And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto them, Why chideH7378 ye with me? wherefore do ye temptH5254 the LORDH3068?
And the peopleH5971 thirstedH6770 there for waterH4325; and the peopleH5971 murmuredH3885 against MosesH4872, and saidH559, Wherefore is this that thou hast broughtH5927 us up out of EgyptH4714, to killH4191 us and our childrenH1121 and our cattleH4735 with thirstH6772?
And MosesH4872 criedH6817 unto the LORDH3068, sayingH559, What shall I doH6213 unto this peopleH5971? they be almostH4592 ready to stoneH5619 me.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, Go onH5674 beforeH6440 the peopleH5971, and takeH3947 with thee of the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478; and thy rodH4294, wherewith thou smotestH5221 the riverH2975, takeH3947 in thine handH3027, and goH1980.
Behold, I will standH5975 beforeH6440 thee there upon the rockH6697 in HorebH2722; and thou shalt smiteH5221 the rockH6697, and there shall comeH3318 waterH4325 out of it, that the peopleH5971 may drinkH8354. And MosesH4872 didH6213 so in the sightH5869 of the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478.
And he calledH7121 the nameH8034 of the placeH4725 MassahH4532, and MeribahH4809, because of the chidingH7379 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and because they temptedH5254 the LORDH3068, sayingH559, IsH3426 the LORDH3068 amongH7130 us, or not? {Massah: that is, Temptation} {Meribah: that is, Chiding, or, Strife}
Then cameH935 AmalekH6002, and foughtH3898 with IsraelH3478 in RephidimH7508.
And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, Choose us outH977 menH582, and go outH3318, fightH3898 with AmalekH6002: to morrowH4279 I will standH5324 on the topH7218 of the hillH1389 with the rodH4294 of GodH430 in mine handH3027. {Joshua: called Jesus}
So JoshuaH3091 didH6213 as MosesH4872 had saidH559 to him, and foughtH3898 with AmalekH6002: and MosesH4872, AaronH175, and HurH2354 went upH5927 to the topH7218 of the hillH1389.
And it came to pass, when MosesH4872 held upH7311 his handH3027, that IsraelH3478 prevailedH1396: and when he let downH5117 his handH3027, AmalekH6002 prevailedH1396.
But Moses'H4872 handsH3027 were heavyH3515; and they tookH3947 a stoneH68, and putH7760 it under him, and he satH3427 thereon; and AaronH175 and HurH2354 stayed upH8551 his handsH3027, the one on the one sideH259, and the other on the other sideH259; and his handsH3027 were steadyH530 until the going downH935 of the sunH8121.
And JoshuaH3091 discomfitedH2522 AmalekH6002 and his peopleH5971 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, WriteH3789 this for a memorialH2146 in a bookH5612, and rehearseH7760 it in the earsH241 of JoshuaH3091: for I will utterlyH4229 put outH4229 the remembranceH2143 of AmalekH6002 from under heavenH8064.
And MosesH4872 builtH1129 an altarH4196, and calledH7121 the nameH8034 of it JehovahnissiH3071: {Jehovahnissi: that is, The LORD my banner}
For he saidH559, Because the LORDH3050 hath swornH3027+H3676 that the LORDH3068 will have warH4421 with AmalekH6002 from generationH1755 to generationH1755. {Because…: or, Because the hand of Amalek is against the throne of the LORD, therefore, etc} {the LORD hath…: Heb. the hand upon the throne of the LORD}
Moreover also I gaveH5414 them my sabbathsH7676, to be a signH226 between me and them, that they might knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068 that sanctifyH6942 them.
And it came to pass in the seventhH7637 yearH8141, in the fifthH2549 month, the tenthH6218 day of the monthH2320, that certainH582 of the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 cameH935 to enquireH1875 of the LORDH3068, and satH3427 beforeH6440 me.
Then came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, speakH1696 unto the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478, and sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Are ye comeH935 to enquireH1875 of me? As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, I will not be enquiredH1875 of by you.
Wilt thou judgeH8199 them, sonH1121 of manH120, wilt thou judgeH8199 them? cause them to knowH3045 the abominationsH8441 of their fathersH1: {Wilt…: or, Wilt thou plead for them}
And sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; In the dayH3117 when I choseH977 IsraelH3478, and lifted upH5375 mine handH3027 unto the seedH2233 of the houseH1004 of JacobH3290, and made myself knownH3045 unto them in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, when I liftedH5375 up mine handH3027 unto them, sayingH559, I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430; {lifted…: or, sware}
In the dayH3117 that I lifted upH5375 mine handH3027 unto them, to bring them forthH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 into a landH776 that I had espiedH8446 for them, flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706, which is the gloryH6643 of all landsH776:
Then saidH559 I unto them, Cast ye awayH7993 every manH376 the abominationsH8251 of his eyesH5869, and defileH2930 not yourselves with the idolsH1544 of EgyptH4714: I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430.
But they rebelledH4784 against me, and wouldH14 not hearkenH8085 unto me: they did not every manH376 cast awayH7993 the abominationsH8251 of their eyesH5869, neither did they forsakeH5800 the idolsH1544 of EgyptH4714: then I saidH559, I will pour outH8210 my furyH2534 upon them, to accomplishH3615 my angerH639 against them in the midstH8432 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
But I wroughtH6213 for my name'sH8034 sake, that it should not be pollutedH2490 beforeH5869 the heathenH1471, amongH8432 whom they were, in whose sightH5869 I made myself knownH3045 unto them, in bringing them forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
Wherefore I caused them to go forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and broughtH935 them into the wildernessH4057.
And I gaveH5414 them my statutesH2708, and shewedH3045 them my judgmentsH4941, which if a manH120 doH6213, he shall even liveH2425 in them. {shewed…: Heb. made them to know}
Moreover also I gaveH5414 them my sabbathsH7676, to be a signH226 between me and them, that they might knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068 that sanctifyH6942 them.
But the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 rebelledH4784 against me in the wildernessH4057: they walkedH1980 not in my statutesH2708, and they despisedH3988 my judgmentsH4941, which if a manH120 doH6213, he shall even liveH2425 in them; and my sabbathsH7676 they greatlyH3966 pollutedH2490: then I saidH559, I would pour outH8210 my furyH2534 upon them in the wildernessH4057, to consumeH3615 them.
But I wroughtH6213 for my name'sH8034 sake, that it should not be pollutedH2490 beforeH5869 the heathenH1471, in whose sightH5869 I brought them outH3318.
Yet also I lifted upH5375 my handH3027 unto them in the wildernessH4057, that I would not bringH935 them into the landH776 which I had givenH5414 them, flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706, which is the gloryH6643 of all landsH776;
Because they despisedH3988 my judgmentsH4941, and walkedH1980 not in my statutesH2708, but pollutedH2490 my sabbathsH7676: for their heartH3820 wentH1980 afterH310 their idolsH1544.
Nevertheless mine eyeH5869 sparedH2347 them from destroyingH7843 them, neither did I makeH6213 an endH3617 of them in the wildernessH4057.
But I saidH559 unto their childrenH1121 in the wildernessH4057, WalkH3212 ye not in the statutesH2706 of your fathersH1, neither observeH8104 their judgmentsH4941, nor defileH2930 yourselves with their idolsH1544:
I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430; walkH3212 in my statutesH2708, and keepH8104 my judgmentsH4941, and doH6213 them;
And hallowH6942 my sabbathsH7676; and they shall be a signH226 between me and you, that ye may knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430.
Notwithstanding the childrenH1121 rebelledH4784 against me: they walkedH1980 not in my statutesH2708, neither keptH8104 my judgmentsH4941 to doH6213 them, which if a manH120 doH6213, he shall even liveH2425 in them; they pollutedH2490 my sabbathsH7676: then I saidH559, I would pour outH8210 my furyH2534 upon them, to accomplishH3615 my angerH639 against them in the wildernessH4057.
Nevertheless I withdrewH7725 mine handH3027, and wroughtH6213 for my name'sH8034 sake, that it should not be pollutedH2490 in the sightH5869 of the heathenH1471, in whose sightH5869 I brought them forthH3318.
I lifted upH5375 mine handH3027 unto them also in the wildernessH4057, that I would scatterH6327 them among the heathenH1471, and disperseH2219 them through the countriesH776;
Because they had not executedH6213 my judgmentsH4941, but had despisedH3988 my statutesH2708, and had pollutedH2490 my sabbathsH7676, and their eyesH5869 were afterH310 their fathers'H1 idolsH1544.
Wherefore I gaveH5414 them also statutesH2706 that were not goodH2896, and judgmentsH4941 whereby they should not liveH2421;
And I pollutedH2930 them in their own giftsH4979, in that they caused to pass throughH5674 the fire all that openethH6363 the wombH7356, that I might make them desolateH8074, to the end that they might knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
Therefore, sonH1121 of manH120, speakH1696 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, and sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Yet in this your fathersH1 have blasphemedH1442 me, in that they have committedH4603 a trespassH4604 against me. {committed…: Heb. trespassed a trespass}
For when I had broughtH935 them into the landH776, for the which I lifted upH5375 mine handH3027 to giveH5414 it to them, then they sawH7200 every highH7311 hillH1389, and all the thickH5687 treesH6086, and they offeredH2076 there their sacrificesH2077, and there they presentedH5414 the provocationH3708 of their offeringH7133: there also they madeH7760 their sweetH5207 savourH7381, and poured outH5258 there their drink offeringsH5262.
Then I saidH559 unto them, What is the high placeH1116 whereunto ye goH935? And the nameH8034 thereof is calledH7121 BamahH1117 unto this dayH3117. {I said…: or, I told them what the high place was, or, Bamah}
Wherefore sayH559 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Are ye pollutedH2930 after the mannerH1870 of your fathersH1? and commit ye whoredomH2181 afterH310 their abominationsH8251?
For when ye offerH5375 your giftsH4979, when ye make your sonsH1121 to pass throughH5674 the fireH784, ye polluteH2930 yourselves with all your idolsH1544, even unto this dayH3117: and shall I be enquiredH1875 of by you, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478? As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, I will not be enquiredH1875 of by you.
And that which comethH5927 into your mindH7307 shall not be at all, that ye sayH559, We will beH1961 as the heathenH1471, as the familiesH4940 of the countriesH776, to serveH8334 woodH6086 and stoneH68.
As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, surely with a mightyH2389 handH3027, and with a stretched outH5186 armH2220, and with furyH2534 poured outH8210, will I ruleH4427 over you:
And I will bring you outH3318 from the peopleH5971, and will gatherH6908 you out of the countriesH776 wherein ye are scatteredH6327, with a mightyH2389 handH3027, and with a stretched outH5186 armH2220, and with furyH2534 poured outH8210.
And I will bringH935 you into the wildernessH4057 of the peopleH5971, and there will I pleadH8199 with you faceH6440 to faceH6440.
Like as I pleadedH8199 with your fathersH1 in the wildernessH4057 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, so will I pleadH8199 with you, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
And I will cause you to passH5674 under the rodH7626, and I will bringH935 you into the bondH4562 of the covenantH1285: {bond: or, delivering}
And I will purge outH1305 from among you the rebelsH4775, and them that transgressH6586 against me: I will bring them forthH3318 out of the countryH776 where they sojournH4033, and they shall not enterH935 into the landH127 of IsraelH3478: and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
As for you, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; GoH3212 ye, serveH5647 ye every oneH376 his idolsH1544, and hereafterH310 also, if ye will not hearkenH8085 unto me: but polluteH2490 ye my holyH6944 nameH8034 no more with your giftsH4979, and with your idolsH1544.
For in mine holyH6944 mountainH2022, in the mountainH2022 of the heightH4791 of IsraelH3478, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, there shall all the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, all of them in the landH776, serveH5647 me: there will I acceptH7521 them, and there will I requireH1875 your offeringsH8641, and the firstfruitsH7225 of your oblationsH4864, with all your holy thingsH6944. {firstfruits: or, chief}
I will acceptH7521 you with your sweetH5207 savourH7381, when I bring you outH3318 from the peopleH5971, and gatherH6908 you out of the countriesH776 wherein ye have been scatteredH6327; and I will be sanctifiedH6942 in you beforeH5869 the heathenH1471. {sweet…: Heb. savour of rest}
And ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, when I shall bringH935 you into the landH127 of IsraelH3478, into the countryH776 for the which I lifted upH5375 mine handH3027 to giveH5414 it to your fathersH1.
And there shall ye rememberH2142 your waysH1870, and all your doingsH5949, wherein ye have been defiledH2930; and ye shall lotheH6962 yourselves in your own sightH6440 for all your evilsH7451 that ye have committedH6213.
And ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, when I have wroughtH6213 with you for my name'sH8034 sake, not according to your wickedH7451 waysH1870, nor according to your corruptH7843 doingsH5949, O ye houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
Moreover the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, setH7760 thy faceH6440 towardH1870 the southH8486, and dropH5197 thy word toward the southH1864, and prophesyH5012 against the forestH3293 of the southH5045 fieldH7704;
And sayH559 to the forestH3293 of the southH5045, HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068; Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I will kindleH3341 a fireH784 in thee, and it shall devourH398 every greenH3892 treeH6086 in thee, and every dryH3002 treeH6086: the flamingH3852 flameH7957 shall not be quenchedH3518, and all facesH6440 from the southH5045 to the northH6828 shall be burnedH6866 therein.
And all fleshH1320 shall seeH7200 that I the LORDH3068 have kindledH1197 it: it shall not be quenchedH3518.
Then saidH559 I, AhH162 LordH136 GODH3069! they sayH559 of me, Doth he not speakH4911 parablesH4912?
ForG1063 whenG3752 the GentilesG1484, whichG3588 haveG2192 notG3361 the lawG3551, doG4160 by natureG5449 the thingsG3588 contained in the lawG3551, theseG3778, havingG2192 notG3361 the lawG3551, areG1526 a lawG3551 unto themselvesG1438:
WeG2249 who are JewsG2453 by natureG5449, andG2532 notG3756 sinnersG268 ofG1537 the GentilesG1484,
ForG3754 if anyG1536 beG2076 a hearerG202 of the wordG3056, andG2532 notG3756 a doerG4163, heG3778 is likeG1503 unto a manG435 beholdingG2657 hisG846 naturalG1078 faceG4383 inG1722 a glassG2072:
ThereforeG1360 byG1537 the deedsG2041 of the lawG3551 there shallG1344 noG3956+G3756 fleshG4561 be justifiedG1344 in hisG846 sightG1799: forG1063 byG1223 the lawG3551 is the knowledgeG1922 of sinG266.
O wretchedG5005 manG444 that I amG1473! whoG5101 shall deliverG4506 meG3165 fromG1537 the bodyG4983 of thisG5127 deathG2288? {the body…: or, this body of death}
WhereforeG5620 the lawG3551 wasG1096 ourG2257 schoolmasterG3807 to bring us untoG1519 ChristG5547, thatG2443 we might be justifiedG1344 byG1537 faithG4102.
Have ye sufferedG3958 so many thingsG5118 in vainG1500? if it be yetG1489+G2532 in vainG1500. {so many: or, so great}
And thou shalt set boundsH1379 unto the peopleH5971 round aboutH5439, sayingH559, Take heedH8104 to yourselves, that ye go not upH5927 into the mountH2022, or touchH5060 the borderH7097 of it: whosoever touchethH5060 the mountH2022 shall be surelyH4191 put to deathH4191:
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872, sayingH559,
SanctifyH6942 unto me all the firstbornH1060, whatsoever openethH6363 the wombH7358 among the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, both of manH120 and of beastH929: it is mine.
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 it shall be when the LORDH3068 shall bringH935 thee into the landH776 of the CanaanitesH3669, and the HittitesH2850, and the AmoritesH567, and the HivitesH2340, and the JebusitesH2983, which he swareH7650 unto thy fathersH1 to giveH5414 thee, a landH776 flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706, that thou shalt keepH5647 this serviceH5656 in this monthH2320.
SevenH7651 daysH3117 thou shalt eatH398 unleavened breadH4682, and in the seventhH7637 dayH3117 shall be a feastH2282 to the LORDH3068.
Unleavened breadH4682 shall be eatenH398 sevenH7651 daysH3117; and there shall no leavened breadH2557 be seenH7200 with thee, neither shall there be leavenH7603 seenH7200 with thee in all thy quartersH1366.
And thou shalt shewH5046 thy sonH1121 in that dayH3117, sayingH559, This is done because ofH5668 thatH2088 which the LORDH3068 didH6213 unto me when I came forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714.
And it shall be for a signH226 unto thee upon thine handH3027, and for a memorialH2146 between thine eyesH5869, that the LORD'SH3068 lawH8451 may be in thy mouthH6310: for with a strongH2389 handH3027 hath the LORDH3068 brought thee outH3318 of EgyptH4714.
Thou shalt therefore keepH8104 this ordinanceH2708 in his seasonH4150 from yearH3117 to yearH3117.
And it shall be when the LORDH3068 shall bringH935 thee into the landH776 of the CanaanitesH3669, as he swareH7650 unto thee and to thy fathersH1, and shall giveH5414 it thee,
That thou shalt set apartH5674 unto the LORDH3068 all that openethH6363 the matrixH7358, and every firstlingH6363 that comethH7698 of a beastH929 which thou hast; the malesH2145 shall be the LORD'SH3068. {set…: Heb. cause to pass over}
And every firstlingH6363 of an assH2543 thou shalt redeemH6299 with a lambH7716; and if thou wilt not redeemH6299 it, then thou shalt break his neckH6202: and all the firstbornH1060 of manH120 among thy childrenH1121 shalt thou redeemH6299. {lamb: or, kid}
And it shall be when thy sonH1121 askethH7592 thee in time to comeH4279, sayingH559, What is this? that thou shalt sayH559 unto him, By strengthH2392 of handH3027 the LORDH3068 brought us outH3318 from EgyptH4714, from the houseH1004 of bondageH5650: {in…: Heb. to morrow}
And it came to pass, when PharaohH6547 would hardlyH7185 let us goH7971, that the LORDH3068 slewH2026 all the firstbornH1060 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, both the firstbornH1060 of manH120, and the firstbornH1060 of beastH929: therefore I sacrificeH2076 to the LORDH3068 all that openethH6363 the matrixH7358, being malesH2145; but all the firstbornH1060 of my childrenH1121 I redeemH6299.
And it shall be for a tokenH226 upon thine handH3027, and for frontletsH2903 between thine eyesH5869: for by strengthH2392 of handH3027 the LORDH3068 brought us forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714.
And it came to pass, when PharaohH6547 had let the peopleH5971 goH7971, that GodH430 ledH5148 them not through the wayH1870 of the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430, althoughH3588 that was nearH7138; for GodH430 saidH559, Lest peradventure the peopleH5971 repentH5162 when they seeH7200 warH4421, and they returnH7725 to EgyptH4714:
But GodH430 ledH5437 the peopleH5971 aboutH5437, through the wayH1870 of the wildernessH4057 of the RedH5488 seaH3220: and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 went upH5927 harnessedH2571 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714. {harnessed: or, by five in a rank}
And MosesH4872 tookH3947 the bonesH6106 of JosephH3130 with him: for he had straitlyH7650 swornH7650 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, GodH430 will surelyH6485 visitH6485 you; and ye shall carry upH5927 my bonesH6106 awayH5927 hence with you.
And they took their journeyH5265 from SuccothH5523, and encampedH2583 in EthamH864, in the edgeH7097 of the wildernessH4057.
And the LORDH3068 wentH1980 beforeH6440 them by dayH3119 in a pillarH5982 of a cloudH6051, to leadH5148 them the wayH1870; and by nightH3915 in a pillarH5982 of fireH784, to give them lightH215; to goH3212 by dayH3119 and nightH3915:
He took not awayH4185 the pillarH5982 of the cloudH6051 by dayH3119, nor the pillarH5982 of fireH784 by nightH3915, from beforeH6440 the peopleH5971.
And the peopleH5971 stoodH5975 afar offH7350, and MosesH4872 drew nearH5066 unto the thick darknessH6205 where GodH430 was.
Thou shalt not bow downH7812 thyself to them, nor serveH5647 them: for I the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 am a jealousH7067 GodH410, visitingH6485 the iniquityH5771 of the fathersH1 upon the childrenH1121 unto the thirdH8029 and fourthH7256 generation of them that hateH8130 me;
And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto the peopleH5971, Ye cannotH3201 serveH5647 the LORDH3068: for he is an holyH6918 GodH430; he is a jealousH7072 GodH410; he will not forgiveH5375 your transgressionsH6588 nor your sinsH2403.
And one criedH7121 unto another, and saidH559, HolyH6918, holyH6918, holyH6918, is the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635: the whole earthH776 is fullH4393 of his gloryH3519. {one…: Heb. this cried to this} {the whole…: Heb. his glory is the fulness of the whole earth}
Then answeredH7725+H1697 I them, and saidH559 unto them, The GodH430 of heavenH8064, he will prosperH6743 us; therefore we his servantsH5650 will ariseH6965 and buildH1129: but ye have no portionH2506, nor rightH6666, nor memorialH2146, in JerusalemH3389.
I have manifestedG5319 thyG4675 nameG3686 unto the menG444 whichG3739 thou gavestG1325 meG3427 out ofG1537 the worldG2889: thineG4674 they wereG2258, andG2532 thou gavestG1325 themG846 meG1698; andG2532 they have keptG5083 thyG4675 wordG3056.
