By faithG4102 IsaacG2464 blessedG2127 JacobG2384 andG2532 EsauG2269 concerningG4012 things to comeG3195.
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:
Having predestinatedG4309 usG2248 untoG1519 the adoption of childrenG5206 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 toG1519 himselfG846, accordingG2596 to the good pleasureG2107 of hisG846 willG2307,
PaulG3972, an apostleG652 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 byG1223 the willG2307 of GodG2316, to the saintsG40 which areG5607 atG1722 EphesusG2181, andG2532 to the faithfulG4103 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424:
GraceG5485 be to youG5213, andG2532 peaceG1515, fromG575 GodG2316 ourG2257 FatherG3962, andG2532 from the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
BlessedG2128 be the GodG2316 andG2532 FatherG3962 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, whoG3588 hath blessedG2127 usG2248 withG1722 allG3956 spiritualG4152 blessingsG2129 inG1722 heavenlyG2032 places inG1722 ChristG5547: {places: or, things}
According asG2531 he hath chosenG1586 usG2248 inG1722 himG846 beforeG4253 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889, that weG2248 should beG1511 holyG40 andG2532 without blameG299 beforeG2714 himG846 inG1722 loveG26:
Having predestinatedG4309 usG2248 untoG1519 the adoption of childrenG5206 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 toG1519 himselfG846, accordingG2596 to the good pleasureG2107 of hisG846 willG2307,
ToG1519 the praiseG1868 of the gloryG1391 of hisG846 graceG5485, whereinG1722+G3739 he hath madeG5487 usG2248 acceptedG5487 inG1722 the belovedG25.
InG1722 whomG3739 we haveG2192 redemptionG629 throughG1223 hisG846 bloodG129, the forgivenessG859 of sinsG3900, accordingG2596 to the richesG4149 of hisG846 graceG5485;
WhereinG3739 he hath aboundedG4052 towardG1519 usG2248 inG1722 allG3956 wisdomG4678 andG2532 prudenceG5428;
Having made knownG1107 unto usG2254 the mysteryG3466 of hisG846 willG2307, according toG2596 hisG846 good pleasureG2107 whichG3739 he hath purposedG4388 inG1722 himselfG846:
That inG1519 the dispensationG3622 of the fulnessG4138 of timesG2540 he might gather together in oneG346 all thingsG3956 inG1722 ChristG5547, bothG5037 whichG3588 are inG1722 heavenG3772, andG2532 whichG3588 are onG1909 earthG1093; even inG1722 himG846: {heaven: Gr. the heavens}
InG1722 whomG3739 alsoG2532 we have obtained an inheritanceG2820, being predestinatedG4309 according toG2596 the purposeG4286 of him who workethG1754 all thingsG3956 afterG2596 the counselG1012 of his ownG846 willG2307:
ThatG1519 weG2248 should beG1511 toG1519 the praiseG1868 of hisG846 gloryG1391, whoG3588 first trustedG4276 inG1722 ChristG5547. {trusted: or, hoped}
InG1722 whomG3739 yeG5210 alsoG2532 trusted, after that ye heardG191 the wordG3056 of truthG225, the gospelG2098 of yourG5216 salvationG4991: inG1722 whomG3739 alsoG2532 after that ye believedG4100, ye were sealed withG4972 that holyG40 SpiritG4151 of promiseG1860,
WhichG3739 isG2076 the earnestG728 of ourG2257 inheritanceG2817 untilG1519 the redemptionG629 of the purchased possessionG4047, untoG1519 the praiseG1868 of hisG846 gloryG1391.
WhereforeG1223+G5124 I alsoG2504, after I heardG191 ofG2596 yourG5209 faithG4102 inG1722 the LordG2962 JesusG2424, andG2532 loveG26 untoG1519 allG3956 the saintsG40,
CeaseG3973 notG3756 to give thanksG2168 forG5228 youG5216, makingG4160 mentionG3417 of youG5216 inG1909 myG3450 prayersG4335;
ThatG2443 the GodG2316 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, the FatherG3962 of gloryG1391, may giveG1325 unto youG5213 the spiritG4151 of wisdomG4678 andG2532 revelationG602 inG1722 the knowledgeG1922 of himG846: {in…: or, for the acknowledgement}
The eyesG3788 of yourG5216 understandingG1271 being enlightenedG5461; thatG1519 yeG5209 may knowG1492 whatG5101 isG2076 the hopeG1680 of hisG846 callingG2821, andG2532 whatG5101 the richesG4149 of the gloryG1391 of hisG846 inheritanceG2817 inG1722 the saintsG40,
AndG2532 whatG5101 is the exceedingG5235 greatnessG3174 of hisG846 powerG1411 toG1519 us-wardG2248 whoG3588 believeG4100, according toG2596 the workingG1753 of hisG846 mightyG2479 powerG2904, {his mighty power: Gr. the might of his power}
WhichG3739 he wroughtG1754 inG1722 ChristG5547, when he raisedG1453 himG846 fromG1537 the deadG3498, andG2532 setG2523 him atG1722 his ownG846 right handG1188 inG1722 the heavenlyG2032 places,
Far aboveG5231 allG3956 principalityG746, andG2532 powerG1849, andG2532 mightG1411, andG2532 dominionG2963, andG2532 everyG3956 nameG3686 that is namedG3687, notG3756 onlyG3440 inG1722 thisG5129 worldG165, butG235 alsoG2532 inG1722 that which is to comeG3195:
AndG2532 hath putG5293 allG3956 things underG5259 hisG846 feetG4228, andG2532 gaveG1325 himG846 to be the headG2776 overG5228 allG3956 things to the churchG1577,
WhichG3748 isG2076 hisG846 bodyG4983, the fulnessG4138 of him that fillethG4137 allG3956 inG1722 allG3956.
Now JephthahH3316 the GileaditeH1569 was a mighty manH1368 of valourH2428, and he was the sonH1121 of an harlotH802+H2181: and GileadH1568 begatH3205 JephthahH3316. {Jephthah: called Jephte} {an harlot: Heb. a woman an harlot}
And Gilead'sH1568 wifeH802 bareH3205 him sonsH1121; and his wife'sH802 sonsH1121 grew upH1431, and they thrust outH1644 JephthahH3316, and saidH559 unto him, Thou shalt not inheritH5157 in our father'sH1 houseH1004; for thou art the sonH1121 of a strangeH312 womanH802.
Then JephthahH3316 fledH1272 fromH6440 his brethrenH251, and dweltH3427 in the landH776 of TobH2897: and there were gatheredH3950 vainH7386 menH582 to JephthahH3316, and went outH3318 with him. {from: Heb. from the face}
And it came to pass in process of timeH3117, that the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 made warH3898 against IsraelH3478. {in process…: Heb. after days}
And it was so, that when the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 made warH3898 against IsraelH3478, the eldersH2205 of GileadH1568 wentH3212 to fetchH3947 JephthahH3316 out of the landH776 of TobH2897:
And they saidH559 unto JephthahH3316, ComeH3212, and be our captainH7101, that we may fightH3898 with the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983.
And JephthahH3316 saidH559 unto the eldersH2205 of GileadH1568, Did not ye hateH8130 me, and expelH1644 me out of my father'sH1 houseH1004? and why are ye comeH935 unto me now when ye are in distressH6887?
And the eldersH2205 of GileadH1568 saidH559 unto JephthahH3316, Therefore we turn againH7725 to thee now, that thou mayest goH1980 with us, and fightH3898 against the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and be our headH7218 over all the inhabitantsH3427 of GileadH1568.
And JephthahH3316 saidH559 unto the eldersH2205 of GileadH1568, If ye bring me home againH7725 to fightH3898 against the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and the LORDH3068 deliverH5414 them beforeH6440 me, shall I be your headH7218?
And the eldersH2205 of GileadH1568 saidH559 unto JephthahH3316, The LORDH3068 be witnessH8085 between us, if we doH6213 not so according to thy wordsH1697. {witness…: Heb. the hearer between us}
Then JephthahH3316 wentH3212 with the eldersH2205 of GileadH1568, and the peopleH5971 madeH7760 him headH7218 and captainH7101 over them: and JephthahH3316 utteredH1696 all his wordsH1697 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 in MizpehH4709.
And JephthahH3316 sentH7971 messengersH4397 unto the kingH4428 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, sayingH559, What hast thou to do with me, that thou art comeH935 against me to fightH3898 in my landH776?
And the kingH4428 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 answeredH559 unto the messengersH4397 of JephthahH3316, Because IsraelH3478 took awayH3947 my landH776, when they came upH5927 out of EgyptH4714, from ArnonH769 even unto JabbokH2999, and unto JordanH3383: now therefore restore those lands againH7725 peaceablyH7965.
And JephthahH3316 sentH7971 messengersH4397 againH3254 unto the kingH4428 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983:
And saidH559 unto him, Thus saithH559 JephthahH3316, IsraelH3478 took not awayH3947 the landH776 of MoabH4124, nor the landH776 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983:
But when IsraelH3478 came upH5927 from EgyptH4714, and walkedH3212 through the wildernessH4057 unto the RedH5488 seaH3220, and cameH935 to KadeshH6946;
Then IsraelH3478 sentH7971 messengersH4397 unto the kingH4428 of EdomH123, sayingH559, Let me, I pray thee, pass throughH5674 thy landH776: but the kingH4428 of EdomH123 would not hearkenH8085 thereto. And in like manner they sentH7971 unto the kingH4428 of MoabH4124: but he wouldH14 not consent: and IsraelH3478 abodeH3427 in KadeshH6946.
Then they went alongH3212 through the wildernessH4057, and compassedH5437 the landH776 of EdomH123, and the landH776 of MoabH4124, and cameH935 by the east sideH4217+H8121 of the landH776 of MoabH4124, and pitchedH2583 on the other sideH5676 of ArnonH769, but cameH935 not within the borderH1366 of MoabH4124: for ArnonH769 was the borderH1366 of MoabH4124.
And IsraelH3478 sentH7971 messengersH4397 unto SihonH5511 kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567, the kingH4428 of HeshbonH2809; and IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto him, Let us passH5674, we pray thee, through thy landH776 intoH5704 my placeH4725.
But SihonH5511 trustedH539 not IsraelH3478 to passH5674 through his coastH1366: but SihonH5511 gatheredH622 all his peopleH5971 togetherH622, and pitchedH2583 in JahazH3096, and foughtH3898 against IsraelH3478.
And the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 deliveredH5414 SihonH5511 and all his peopleH5971 into the handH3027 of IsraelH3478, and they smoteH5221 them: so IsraelH3478 possessedH3423 all the landH776 of the AmoritesH567, the inhabitantsH3427 of that countryH776.
And they possessedH3423 all the coastsH1366 of the AmoritesH567, from ArnonH769 even unto JabbokH2999, and from the wildernessH4057 even unto JordanH3383.
So now the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 hath dispossessedH3423 the AmoritesH567 from beforeH6440 his peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and shouldest thou possessH3423 it?
Wilt not thou possessH3423 that which ChemoshH3645 thy godH430 giveth thee to possessH3423? So whomsoever the LORDH3068 our GodH430 shall drive outH3423 from beforeH6440 us, them will we possessH3423.
And now art thou any thing betterH2896 than BalakH1111 the sonH1121 of ZipporH6834, kingH4428 of MoabH4124? did he everH7378 striveH7378 against IsraelH3478, or did he everH3898 fightH3898 against them,
While IsraelH3478 dweltH3427 in HeshbonH2809 and her townsH1323, and in AroerH6177 and her townsH1323, and in all the citiesH5892 that be along by the coastsH3027 of ArnonH769, threeH7969 hundredH3967 yearsH8141? why therefore did ye not recoverH5337 them within that timeH6256?
Wherefore I have not sinnedH2398 against thee, but thou doestH6213+H853 me wrongH7451 to warH3898 against me: the LORDH3068 the JudgeH8199 be judgeH8199 this dayH3117 between the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 and the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983.
Howbeit the kingH4428 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 hearkenedH8085 not unto the wordsH1697 of JephthahH3316 which he sentH7971 him.
Then the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 came upon JephthahH3316, and he passed overH5674 GileadH1568, and ManassehH4519, and passed overH5674 MizpehH4708 of GileadH1568, and from MizpehH4708 of GileadH1568 he passed overH5674 unto the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983.
And JephthahH3316 vowedH5087 a vowH5088 unto the LORDH3068, and saidH559, If thou shalt without failH5414 deliverH5414 the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 into mine handsH3027,
Then it shall be, that whatsoeverH3318 cometh forthH3318 of the doorsH1817 of my houseH1004 to meetH7125 me, when I returnH7725 in peaceH7965 from the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, shall surely be the LORD'SH3068, and I will offer it upH5927 for a burnt offeringH5930. {whatsoever…: Heb. that which cometh forth, which shall come forth} {and…: or, or I will offer it, etc}
So JephthahH3316 passed overH5674 unto the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 to fightH3898 against them; and the LORDH3068 deliveredH5414 them into his handsH3027.
And he smoteH5221 them from AroerH6177, even till thou comeH935 to MinnithH4511, even twentyH6242 citiesH5892, and unto the plainH58 of the vineyardsH3754+H64, with a veryH3966 greatH1419 slaughterH4347. Thus the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 were subduedH3665 beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478. {the plain: or, Abel}
And JephthahH3316 cameH935 to MizpehH4709 unto his houseH1004, and, behold, his daughterH1323 came outH3318 to meetH7125 him with timbrelsH8596 and with dancesH4246: and she was his only childH3173; beside her he had neither sonH1121 norH176 daughterH1323. {beside…: or, he had not of his own either son or daughter: Heb. of himself}
And it came to pass, when he sawH7200 her, that he rentH7167 his clothesH899, and saidH559, AlasH162, my daughterH1323! thou hast broughtH3766 me veryH3766 lowH3766, and thou art one of them that troubleH5916 me: for I have openedH6475 my mouthH6310 unto the LORDH3068, and I cannotH3201 go backH7725.
And she saidH559 unto him, My fatherH1, if thou hast openedH6475 thy mouthH6310 unto the LORDH3068, doH6213 to me according to that whichH834 hath proceededH3318 out of thy mouthH6310; forasmuchH310 as the LORDH3068 hath takenH6213 vengeanceH5360 for thee of thine enemiesH341, even of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983.
And she saidH559 unto her fatherH1, Let this thingH1697 be doneH6213 for me: let me aloneH7503 twoH8147 monthsH2320, that I may go upH3212 and downH3381 upon the mountainsH2022, and bewailH1058 my virginityH1331, I and my fellowsH7464+H7474. {go up…: Heb. go and go down}
And he saidH559, GoH3212. And he sent her awayH7971 for twoH8147 monthsH2320: and she wentH3212 with her companionsH7464, and bewailedH1058 her virginityH1331 upon the mountainsH2022.
And it came to pass at the endH7093 of twoH8147 monthsH2320, that she returnedH7725 unto her fatherH1, who didH6213 with her according to his vowH5088 which he had vowedH5087: and she knewH3045 no manH376. And it was a customH2706 in IsraelH3478, {custom: or, ordinance}
That the daughtersH1323 of IsraelH3478 wentH3212 yearlyH3117+H3117 to lamentH8567 the daughterH1323 of JephthahH3316 the GileaditeH1569 fourH702 daysH3117 in a yearH8141. {yearly: Heb. from year to year} {to lament: or, to talk with}
And the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 was in the countryH7704 of the PhilistinesH6430 sevenH7651 monthsH2320.
And the PhilistinesH6430 calledH7121 for the priestsH3548 and the divinersH7080, sayingH559, What shall we doH6213 to the arkH727 of the LORDH3068? tellH3045 us wherewith we shall sendH7971 it to his placeH4725.
And they saidH559, If ye send awayH7971 the arkH727 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, sendH7971 it not emptyH7387; but in any wiseH7725 returnH7725 him a trespass offeringH817: then ye shall be healedH7495, and it shall be knownH3045 to you why his handH3027 is not removedH5493 from you.
Then saidH559 they, What shall be the trespass offeringH817 which we shall returnH7725 to him? They answeredH559, FiveH2568 goldenH2091 emerodsH2914+H6076, and fiveH2568 goldenH2091 miceH5909, according to the numberH4557 of the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430: for oneH259 plagueH4046 was on you all, and on your lordsH5633. {you: Heb. them}
Wherefore ye shall makeH6213 imagesH6754 of your emerodsH2914+H6076, and imagesH6754 of your miceH5909 that marH7843 the landH776; and ye shall giveH5414 gloryH3519 unto the GodH430 of IsraelH3478: peradventure he will lightenH7043 his handH3027 from off you, and from off your godsH430, and from off your landH776.
Wherefore then do ye hardenH3513 your heartsH3824, as the EgyptiansH4714 and PharaohH6547 hardenedH3513 their heartsH3820? when he had wrought wonderfullyH5953 among them, did they not let the people goH7971, and they departedH3212? {wonderfully: or, reproachfully} {the people: Heb. them}
Now therefore makeH6213 aH259 newH2319 cartH5699, and takeH3947 twoH8147 milchH5763 kineH6510, on which there hath comeH5927 no yokeH5923, and tieH631 the kineH6510 to the cartH5699, and bringH7725 their calvesH1121 homeH1004 from themH310:
And takeH3947 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068, and layH5414 it upon the cartH5699; and putH7760 the jewelsH3627 of goldH2091, which ye returnH7725 him for a trespass offeringH817, in a cofferH712 by the sideH6654 thereof; and send it awayH7971, that it may goH1980.
And seeH7200, if it goeth upH5927 by the wayH1870 of his own coastH1366 to BethshemeshH1053, then he hath doneH6213 us this greatH1419 evilH7451: but if not, then we shall knowH3045 that it is not his handH3027 that smoteH5060 us: it was a chanceH4745 that happened to usH1961. {he: or, it}
And the menH582 did soH6213; and tookH3947 twoH8147 milchH5763 kineH6510, and tiedH631 them to the cartH5699, and shut upH3607 their calvesH1121 at homeH1004:
And they laidH7760 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 upon the cartH5699, and the cofferH712 with the miceH5909 of goldH2091 and the imagesH6754 of their emerodsH2914.
And the kineH6510 took the straightH3474 wayH1870 to the wayH1870 of BethshemeshH1053, and went alongH1980 the highwayH4546+H259, lowingH1600 as they wentH1980, and turned not asideH5493 to the right handH3225 or to the leftH8040; and the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430 wentH1980 afterH310 them unto the borderH1366 of BethshemeshH1053.
And they of BethshemeshH1053 were reapingH7114 their wheatH2406 harvestH7105 in the valleyH6010: and they lifted upH5375 their eyesH5869, and sawH7200 the arkH727, and rejoicedH8055 to seeH7200 it.
And the cartH5699 cameH935 into the fieldH7704 of JoshuaH3091, a BethshemiteH1030, and stoodH5975 there, where there was a greatH1419 stoneH68: and they claveH1234 the woodH6086 of the cartH5699, and offeredH5927 the kineH6510 a burnt offeringH5930 unto the LORDH3068.
And the LevitesH3881 took downH3381 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068, and the cofferH712 that was with it, wherein the jewelsH3627 of goldH2091 were, and putH7760 them on the greatH1419 stoneH68: and the menH582 of BethshemeshH1053 offeredH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 and sacrificedH2076 sacrificesH2077 the same dayH3117 unto the LORDH3068.
And when the fiveH2568 lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430 had seenH7200 it, they returnedH7725 to EkronH6138 the same dayH3117.
And these are the goldenH2091 emerodsH2914 which the PhilistinesH6430 returnedH7725 for a trespass offeringH817 unto the LORDH3068; for AshdodH795 oneH259, for GazaH5804 oneH259, for AskelonH831 oneH259, for GathH1661 oneH259, for EkronH6138 oneH259;
And the goldenH2091 miceH5909, according to the numberH4557 of all the citiesH5892 of the PhilistinesH6430 belonging to the fiveH2568 lordsH5633, both of fencedH4013 citiesH5892, and of countryH6521 villagesH3724, even unto the greatH1419 stone of AbelH59, whereon they set downH3240 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068: which stone remaineth unto this dayH3117 in the fieldH7704 of JoshuaH3091, the BethshemiteH1030. {great…: or, great stone}
And he smoteH5221 the menH376 of BethshemeshH1053, because they had lookedH7200 into the arkH727 of the LORDH3068, even he smoteH5221 of the peopleH5971 fiftyH2572 thousandH505 and threescore and tenH7657 menH582: and the peopleH5971 lamentedH56, because the LORDH3068 had smittenH5221 many of the peopleH5971 with a greatH1419 slaughterH4347.
And the menH582 of BethshemeshH1053 saidH559, Who is ableH3201 to standH5975 beforeH6440 this holyH6918 LORDH3068 GodH430? and to whom shall he go upH5927 from us?
And they sentH7971 messengersH4397 to the inhabitantsH3427 of KirjathjearimH7157, sayingH559, The PhilistinesH6430 have brought againH7725 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068; come ye downH3381, and fetch it upH5927 to you.
Behold, I and the childrenH3206 whom the LORDH3068 hath givenH5414 me are for signsH226 and for wondersH4159 in IsraelH3478 from the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, which dwellethH7931 in mountH2022 ZionH6726.
BlessedH835 is the manH376 that walkethH1980 not in the counselH6098 of the ungodlyH7563, nor standethH5975 in the wayH1870 of sinnersH2400, nor sittethH3427 in the seatH4186 of the scornfulH3887. {ungodly: or, wicked}
But his delightH2656 is in the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068; and in his lawH8451 doth he meditateH1897 dayH3119 and nightH3915.
And he shall be like a treeH6086 plantedH8362 by the riversH6388 of waterH4325, that bringeth forthH5414 his fruitH6529 in his seasonH6256; his leafH5929 also shall not witherH5034; and whatsoever he doethH6213 shall prosperH6743. {wither: Heb. fade}
The ungodlyH7563 are not so: but are like the chaffH4671 which the windH7307 driveth awayH5086.
Therefore the ungodlyH7563 shall not standH6965 in the judgmentH4941, nor sinnersH2400 in the congregationH5712 of the righteousH6662.
For the LORDH3068 knowethH3045 the wayH1870 of the righteousH6662: but the wayH1870 of the ungodlyH7563 shall perishH6.
ForG1063 whatG4169 gloryG2811 is it, ifG1487, whenG2532 ye be buffetedG2852 for your faultsG264, ye shall take it patientlyG5278? butG235 ifG1487, when ye do wellG15, andG2532 sufferG3958 for it, ye take it patientlyG5278, thisG5124 is acceptableG5485 withG3844 GodG2316. {acceptable: or, thank}
Neither shalt thou make marriagesH2859 with them; thy daughterH1323 thou shalt not giveH5414 unto his sonH1121, nor his daughterH1323 shalt thou takeH3947 unto thy sonH1121.
And it came to pass a longH7227 timeH3117 afterH310 that the LORDH3068 had given restH5117 unto IsraelH3478 from all their enemiesH341 round aboutH5439, that JoshuaH3091 waxed oldH2204 and strickenH935 in ageH3117. {stricken…: Heb. come into days}
And JoshuaH3091 calledH7121 for all IsraelH3478, and for their eldersH2205, and for their headsH7218, and for their judgesH8199, and for their officersH7860, and saidH559 unto them, I am oldH2204 and strickenH935 in ageH3117:
And ye have seenH7200 all that the LORDH3068 your GodH430 hath doneH6213 unto all these nationsH1471 becauseH6440 of you; for the LORDH3068 your GodH430 is he that hath foughtH3898 for you.
BeholdH7200, I have dividedH5307 unto you by lot these nationsH1471 that remainH7604, to be an inheritanceH5159 for your tribesH7626, from JordanH3383, with all the nationsH1471 that I have cut offH3772, even unto the greatH1419 seaH3220 westwardH3996+H8121. {westward: Heb. at the sunset}
And the LORDH3068 your GodH430, he shall expelH1920 them from beforeH6440 you, and driveH3423 them from out of your sightH6440; and ye shall possessH3423 their landH776, as the LORDH3068 your GodH430 hath promisedH1696 unto you.
Be ye therefore veryH3966 courageousH2388 to keepH8104 and to doH6213 all that is writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the lawH8451 of MosesH4872, that ye turnH5493 not aside therefrom to the right handH3225 or to the leftH8040;
That ye comeH935 not among these nationsH1471, these that remainH7604 among you; neither make mentionH2142 of the nameH8034 of their godsH430, nor cause to swearH7650 by them, neither serveH5647 them, nor bowH7812 yourselves unto them:
But cleaveH1692 unto the LORDH3068 your GodH430, as ye have doneH6213 unto this dayH3117. {But cleave…: or, For if ye will cleave, etc}
For the LORDH3068 hath driven outH3423 from beforeH6440 you greatH1419 nationsH1471 and strongH6099: but as for you, no manH376 hath been able to standH5975 beforeH6440 you unto this dayH3117. {For the LORD…: or, Then the LORD will drive}
OneH259 manH376 of you shall chaseH7291 a thousandH505: for the LORDH3068 your GodH430, he it is that fightethH3898 for you, as he hath promisedH1696 you.
Take goodH3966 heedH8104 therefore unto yourselvesH5315, that ye loveH157 the LORDH3068 your GodH430. {yourselves: Heb. your souls}
Else if ye do in any wiseH7725 go backH7725, and cleaveH1692 unto the remnantH3499 of these nationsH1471, even these that remainH7604 among you, and shall make marriagesH2859 with them, and go inH935 unto them, and they to you:
KnowH3045 for a certaintyH3045 that the LORDH3068 your GodH430 will no moreH3254 drive outH3423 any of these nationsH1471 from beforeH6440 you; but they shall be snaresH6341 and trapsH4170 unto you, and scourgesH7850 in your sidesH6654, and thornsH6796 in your eyesH5869, until ye perishH6 from off this goodH2896 landH127 which the LORDH3068 your GodH430 hath givenH5414 you.
And, behold, this dayH3117 I am goingH1980 the wayH1870 of all the earthH776: and ye knowH3045 in all your heartsH3824 and in all your soulsH5315, that not oneH259 thingH1697 hath failedH5307 of all the goodH2896 thingsH1697 which the LORDH3068 your GodH430 spakeH1696 concerning you; all are come to passH935 unto you, and not oneH259 thingH1697 hath failedH5307 thereof.
Therefore it shall come to pass, that as all goodH2896 thingsH1697 are comeH935 upon you, which the LORDH3068 your GodH430 promisedH1696 you; so shall the LORDH3068 bringH935 upon you all evilH7451 thingsH1697, until he have destroyedH8045 you from off this goodH2896 landH127 which the LORDH3068 your GodH430 hath givenH5414 you.
When ye have transgressedH5674 the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430, which he commandedH6680 you, and have goneH1980 and servedH5647 otherH312 godsH430, and bowedH7812 yourselves to them; then shall the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 be kindledH2734 against you, and ye shall perishH6 quicklyH4120 from off the goodH2896 landH776 which he hath givenH5414 unto you.
But kingH4428 SolomonH8010 lovedH157 manyH7227 strangeH5237 womenH802, together with the daughterH1323 of PharaohH6547, women of the MoabitesH4125, AmmonitesH5984, EdomitesH130, ZidoniansH6722, and HittitesH2850; {together…: or, beside}
Of the nationsH1471 concerning which the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, Ye shall not go inH935 to them, neither shall they come inH935 unto you: for surelyH403 they will turn awayH5186 your heartH3824 afterH310 their godsH430: SolomonH8010 claveH1692 unto these in loveH157.
And he had sevenH7651 hundredH3967 wivesH802, princessesH8282, and threeH7969 hundredH3967 concubinesH6370: and his wivesH802 turned awayH5186 his heartH3820.
For it came to pass, whenH6256 SolomonH8010 was oldH2209, that his wivesH802 turned awayH5186 his heartH3824 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430: and his heartH3824 was not perfectH8003 with the LORDH3068 his GodH430, as was the heartH3824 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1.
For SolomonH8010 wentH3212 afterH310 AshtorethH6253 the goddessH430 of the ZidoniansH6722, and afterH310 MilcomH4445 the abominationH8251 of the AmmonitesH5984.
And SolomonH8010 didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, and went not fullyH4390 afterH310 the LORDH3068, as did DavidH1732 his fatherH1. {went…: Heb. fulfilled not after}
Then did SolomonH8010 buildH1129 an high placeH1116 for ChemoshH3645, the abominationH8251 of MoabH4124, in the hillH2022 that is beforeH6440 JerusalemH3389, and for MolechH4432, the abominationH8251 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983.
And likewise didH6213 he for all his strangeH5237 wivesH802, which burnt incenseH6999 and sacrificedH2076 unto their godsH430.
And the LORDH3068 was angryH599 with SolomonH8010, because his heartH3824 was turnedH5186 from the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, which had appearedH7200 unto him twiceH6471,
And had commandedH6680 him concerning this thingH1697, that he should not goH3212 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430: but he keptH8104 not that which the LORDH3068 commandedH6680.
Wherefore the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto SolomonH8010, Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not keptH8104 my covenantH1285 and my statutesH2708, which I have commandedH6680 thee, I will surelyH7167 rendH7167 the kingdomH4467 from thee, and will giveH5414 it to thy servantH5650. {is done…: Heb. is with thee}
Notwithstanding in thy daysH3117 I will not doH6213 it for DavidH1732 thy father'sH1 sake: but I will rendH7167 it out of the handH3027 of thy sonH1121.
HowbeitH7535 I will not rend awayH7167 all the kingdomH4467; but will giveH5414 oneH259 tribeH7626 to thy sonH1121 for DavidH1732 my servant'sH5650 sake, and for Jerusalem'sH3389 sake which I have chosenH977.
And the LORDH3068 stirred upH6965 an adversaryH7854 unto SolomonH8010, HadadH1908 the EdomiteH130: he was of the king'sH4428 seedH2233 in EdomH123.
For it came to pass, when DavidH1732 was in EdomH123, and JoabH3097 the captainH8269 of the hostH6635 was gone upH5927 to buryH6912 the slainH2491, after he had smittenH5221 every maleH2145 in EdomH123;
(For sixH8337 monthsH2320 did JoabH3097 remainH3427 there with all IsraelH3478, until he had cut offH3772 every maleH2145 in EdomH123:)
That HadadH111 fledH1272, he and certainH582 EdomitesH130 of his father'sH1 servantsH5650 with him, to goH935 into EgyptH4714; HadadH1908 being yet a littleH6996 childH5288.
And they aroseH6965 out of MidianH4080, and cameH935 to ParanH6290: and they tookH3947 menH582 with them out of ParanH6290, and they cameH935 to EgyptH4714, unto PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714; which gaveH5414 him an houseH1004, and appointedH559 him victualsH3899, and gaveH5414 him landH776.
And HadadH1908 foundH4672 greatH3966 favourH2580 in the sightH5869 of PharaohH6547, so that he gaveH5414 him to wifeH802 the sisterH269 of his own wifeH802, the sisterH269 of TahpenesH8472 the queenH1377.
And the sisterH269 of TahpenesH8472 bareH3205 him GenubathH1592 his sonH1121, whom TahpenesH8472 weanedH1580 inH8432 Pharaoh'sH6547 houseH1004: and GenubathH1592 was in Pharaoh'sH6547 householdH1004 amongH8432 the sonsH1121 of PharaohH6547.
And when HadadH1908 heardH8085 in EgyptH4714 that DavidH1732 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and that JoabH3097 the captainH8269 of the hostH6635 was deadH4191, HadadH1908 saidH559 to PharaohH6547, Let me departH7971, that I may goH3212 to mine own countryH776. {Let…: Heb. Send me away}
Then PharaohH6547 saidH559 unto him, But what hast thou lackedH2638 with me, that, behold, thou seekestH1245 to goH3212 to thine own countryH776? And he answeredH559, Nothing: howbeit let me goH7971 in any wiseH7971. {Nothing: Heb. Not}
And GodH430 stirred him upH6965 another adversaryH7854, RezonH7331 the sonH1121 of EliadahH450, which fledH1272 from his lordH113 HadadezerH1909 kingH4428 of ZobahH6678:
And he gatheredH6908 menH582 unto him, and became captainH8269 over a bandH1416, when DavidH1732 slewH2026 them of Zobah: and they wentH3212 to DamascusH1834, and dweltH3427 therein, and reignedH4427 in DamascusH1834.
And he was an adversaryH7854 to IsraelH3478 all the daysH3117 of SolomonH8010, beside the mischiefH7451 that HadadH1908 did: and he abhorredH6973 IsraelH3478, and reignedH4427 over SyriaH758.
And JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, an EphrathiteH673 of ZeredaH6868, Solomon'sH8010 servantH5650, whose mother'sH517 nameH8034 was ZeruahH6871, a widowH490 womanH802, even he lifted upH7311 his handH3027 against the kingH4428.
And this was the causeH1697 that he lifted upH7311 his handH3027 against the kingH4428: SolomonH8010 builtH1129 MilloH4407, and repairedH5462 the breachesH6556 of the cityH5892 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1. {repaired: Heb. closed}
And the manH376 JeroboamH3379 was a mighty manH1368 of valourH2428: and SolomonH8010 seeingH7200 the young manH5288 that he was industriousH6213+H4399, he made him rulerH6485 over all the chargeH5447 of the houseH1004 of JosephH3130. {was industrious: Heb. did work} {charge: Heb. burden}
And it came to pass at that timeH6256 when JeroboamH3379 went outH3318 of JerusalemH3389, that the prophetH5030 AhijahH281 the ShiloniteH7888 foundH4672 him in the wayH1870; and he had cladH3680 himself with a newH2319 garmentH8008; and they twoH8147 were alone in the fieldH7704:
And AhijahH281 caughtH8610 the newH2319 garmentH8008 that was on him, and rentH7167 it in twelveH8147+H6240 piecesH7168:
And he saidH559 to JeroboamH3379, TakeH3947 thee tenH6235 piecesH7168: for thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, Behold, I will rendH7167 the kingdomH4467 out of the handH3027 of SolomonH8010, and will giveH5414 tenH6235 tribesH7626 to thee:
(But he shall have oneH259 tribeH7626 for my servantH5650 David'sH1732 sake, and for Jerusalem'sH3389 sake, the cityH5892 which I have chosenH977 out of all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478:)
Because that they have forsakenH5800 me, and have worshippedH7812 AshtorethH6253 the goddessH430 of the ZidoniansH6722, ChemoshH3645 the godH430 of the MoabitesH4124, and MilcomH4445 the godH430 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and have not walkedH1980 in my waysH1870, to doH6213 that which is rightH3477 in mine eyesH5869, and to keep my statutesH2708 and my judgmentsH4941, as did DavidH1732 his fatherH1.
Howbeit I will not takeH3947 the whole kingdomH4467 out of his handH3027: but I will makeH7896 him princeH5387 all the daysH3117 of his lifeH2416 for DavidH1732 my servant'sH5650 sake, whom I choseH977, because he keptH8104 my commandmentsH4687 and my statutesH2708:
But I will takeH3947 the kingdomH4410 out of his son'sH1121 handH3027, and will giveH5414 it unto thee, even tenH6235 tribesH7626.
And unto his sonH1121 will I giveH5414 oneH259 tribeH7626, that DavidH1732 my servantH5650 may have a lightH5216 alwayH3117 beforeH6440 me in JerusalemH3389, the cityH5892 which I have chosenH977 me to putH7760 my nameH8034 there. {light: Heb. lamp, or, candle}
And I will takeH3947 thee, and thou shalt reignH4427 according to all that thy soulH5315 desirethH183, and shalt be kingH4428 over IsraelH3478.
And it shall be, if thou wilt hearkenH8085 unto all that I commandH6680 thee, and wilt walkH1980 in my waysH1870, and doH6213 that is rightH3477 in my sightH5869, to keepH8104 my statutesH2708 and my commandmentsH4687, as DavidH1732 my servantH5650 didH6213; that I will be with thee, and buildH1129 thee a sureH539 houseH1004, as I builtH1129 for DavidH1732, and will giveH5414 IsraelH3478 unto thee.
And I will for this afflictH6031 the seedH2233 of DavidH1732, but not for everH3117.
SolomonH8010 soughtH1245 therefore to killH4191 JeroboamH3379. And JeroboamH3379 aroseH6965, and fledH1272 into EgyptH4714, unto ShishakH7895 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, and was in EgyptH4714 until the deathH4194 of SolomonH8010.
And the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of SolomonH8010, and all that he didH6213, and his wisdomH2451, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the actsH1697 of SolomonH8010? {acts: or, words, or, things}
And the timeH3117 that SolomonH8010 reignedH4427 in JerusalemH3389 over all IsraelH3478 was fortyH705 yearsH8141. {time: Heb. days}
And SolomonH8010 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and was buriedH6912 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1: and RehoboamH7346 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead. {Rehoboam: Gr. Roboam}
Now when EzraH5830 had prayedH6419, and when he had confessedH3034, weepingH1058 and casting himself downH5307 beforeH6440 the houseH1004 of GodH430, there assembledH6908 unto him out of IsraelH3478 a veryH3966 greatH7227 congregationH6951 of menH582 and womenH802 and childrenH3206: for the peopleH5971 weptH1058 veryH7235 soreH1059. {wept…: Heb. wept a great weeping}
And ShechaniahH7935 the sonH1121 of JehielH3171, one of the sonsH1121 of ElamH5867, answeredH6030 and saidH559 unto EzraH5830, We have trespassedH4603 against our GodH430, and have takenH3427 strangeH5237 wivesH802 of the peopleH5971 of the landH776: yet now there isH3426 hopeH4723 in IsraelH3478 concerning this thing.
Now therefore let us makeH3772 a covenantH1285 with our GodH430 to put awayH3318 all the wivesH802, and such as are bornH3205 of them, according to the counselH6098 of my lordH136, and of those that trembleH2730 at the commandmentH4687 of our GodH430; and let it be doneH6213 according to the lawH8451. {to put…: Heb. to bring forth}
AriseH6965; for this matterH1697 belongeth unto thee: we also will be with thee: be of good courageH2388, and doH6213 it.
Then aroseH6965 EzraH5830, and made the chiefH8269 priestsH3548, the LevitesH3881, and all IsraelH3478, to swearH7650 that they should doH6213 according to this wordH1697. And they swareH7650.
Then EzraH5830 rose upH6965 from beforeH6440 the houseH1004 of GodH430, and wentH3212 into the chamberH3957 of JohananH3076 the sonH1121 of EliashibH475: and when he cameH3212 thither, he did eatH398 no breadH3899, nor drinkH8354 waterH4325: for he mournedH56 because of the transgressionH4604 of them that had been carried awayH1473.
And they made proclamationH5674+H6963 throughout JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 unto all the childrenH1121 of the captivityH1473, that they should gather themselves togetherH6908 unto JerusalemH3389;
And that whosoever would not comeH935 within threeH7969 daysH3117, according to the counselH6098 of the princesH8269 and the eldersH2205, all his substanceH7399 should be forfeitedH2763, and himself separatedH914 from the congregationH6951 of those that had been carried awayH1473. {forfeited: Heb. devoted}
Then all the menH582 of JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144 gathered themselves togetherH6908 unto JerusalemH3389 within threeH7969 daysH3117. It was the ninthH8671 monthH2320, on the twentiethH6242 day of the monthH2320; and all the peopleH5971 satH3427 in the streetH7339 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, tremblingH7460 because of this matterH1697, and for the great rainH1653. {the great…: Heb. the showers}
And EzraH5830 the priestH3548 stood upH6965, and saidH559 unto them, Ye have transgressedH4603, and have takenH3427 strangeH5237 wivesH802, to increaseH3254 the trespassH819 of IsraelH3478. {have taken: Heb. have caused to dwell, or, have brought back}
Now therefore makeH5414 confessionH8426 unto the LORDH3068 GodH430 of your fathersH1, and doH6213 his pleasureH7522: and separateH914 yourselves from the peopleH5971 of the landH776, and from the strangeH5237 wivesH802.
Then all the congregationH6951 answeredH6030 and saidH559 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963, As thou hast saidH1697, so must we doH6213.
ButH61 the peopleH5971 are manyH7227, and it is a timeH6256 of much rainH1653, and we are not ableH3581 to standH5975 withoutH2351, neither is this a workH4399 of oneH259 dayH3117 or twoH8147: for we are manyH7235 that have transgressedH6586 in this thingH1697. {we are many…: or, we have greatly offended in this thing}
Let now our rulersH8269 of all the congregationH6951 standH5975, and let all them which have takenH3427 strangeH5237 wivesH802 in our citiesH5892 comeH935 at appointedH2163 timesH6256, and with them the eldersH2205 of every cityH5892, and the judgesH8199 thereof, until the fierceH2740 wrathH639 of our GodH430 for this matterH1697 be turnedH7725 from us. {for this…: or, till this matter be dispatched}
Only JonathanH3129 the sonH1121 of AsahelH6214 and JahaziahH3167 the sonH1121 of TikvahH8616 were employedH5975 about this matter: and MeshullamH4918 and ShabbethaiH7678 the LeviteH3881 helpedH5826 them. {were…: Heb. stood}
And the childrenH1121 of the captivityH1473 did soH6213. And EzraH5830 the priestH3548, with certainH582 chiefH7218 of the fathersH1, after the houseH1004 of their fathersH1, and all of them by their namesH8034, were separatedH914, and sat downH3427 in the firstH259 dayH3117 of the tenthH6224 monthH2320 to examineH1875 the matterH1697.
And they made an endH3615 with all the menH582 that had takenH3427 strangeH5237 wivesH802 by the firstH259 dayH3117 of the firstH7223 monthH2320.
And among the sonsH1121 of the priestsH3548 there were foundH4672 that had takenH3427 strangeH5237 wivesH802: namely, of the sonsH1121 of JeshuaH3442 the sonH1121 of JozadakH3136, and his brethrenH251; MaaseiahH4641, and EliezerH461, and JaribH3402, and GedaliahH1436.
And they gaveH5414 their handsH3027 that they would put awayH3318 their wivesH802; and being guiltyH818, they offered a ramH352 of the flockH6629 for their trespassH819.
And of the sonsH1121 of ImmerH564; HananiH2607, and ZebadiahH2069.
And of the sonsH1121 of HarimH2766; MaaseiahH4641, and ElijahH452, and ShemaiahH8098, and JehielH3171, and UzziahH5818.

Of the singersH7891 also; EliashibH475: and of the portersH7778; ShallumH7967, and TelemH2928, and UriH221.
Moreover of IsraelH3478: of the sonsH1121 of ParoshH6551; RamiahH7422, and JeziahH3150, and MalchiahH4441, and MiaminH4326, and EleazarH499, and MalchijahH4441, and BenaiahH1141.
And of the sonsH1121 of ElamH5867; MattaniahH4983, ZechariahH2148, and JehielH3171, and AbdiH5660, and JeremothH3406, and EliahH452.

Of the sonsH1121 also of BebaiH893; JehohananH3076, HananiahH2608, ZabbaiH2140+H2079, and AthlaiH6270.
And of the sonsH1121 of BaniH1137; MeshullamH4918, MalluchH4409, and AdaiahH5718, JashubH3437, and ShealH7594, and RamothH7433.
And of the sonsH1121 of PahathmoabH6355; AdnaH5733, and ChelalH3636, BenaiahH1141, MaaseiahH4641, MattaniahH4983, BezaleelH1212, and BinnuiH1131, and ManassehH4519.
And of the sonsH1121 of HarimH2766; EliezerH461, IshijahH3449, MalchiahH4441, ShemaiahH8098, ShimeonH8095,

Of the sonsH1121 of HashumH2828; MattenaiH4982, MattathahH4992, ZabadH2066, ElipheletH467, JeremaiH3413, ManassehH4519, and ShimeiH8096.

All these had takenH5375+H5375 strangeH5237 wivesH802: and some of them hadH3426 wivesH802 by whom they hadH7760 childrenH1121.
For I knowH3045 him, thatH834 he will commandH6680 his childrenH1121 and his householdH1004 after himH310, and they shall keepH8104 the wayH1870 of the LORDH3068, to doH6213 justiceH6666 and judgmentH4941; that the LORDH3068 may bringH935 upon AbrahamH85 that which he hath spokenH1696 of him.
PaulG3972, a servantG1401 of GodG2316, andG1161 an apostleG652 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, according toG2596 the faithG4102 of God'sG2316 electG1588, andG2532 the acknowledgingG1922 of the truthG225 whichG3588 is afterG2596 godlinessG2150;
InG1909 hopeG1680 of eternalG166 lifeG2222, whichG3739 GodG2316, that cannot lieG893, promisedG1861 beforeG4253 the worldG166 beganG5550; {In: or, For}
ButG1161 hathG5319 in dueG2398 timesG2540 manifestedG5319 hisG846 wordG3056 throughG1722 preachingG2782, whichG3739 is committedG4100 unto meG1473 according toG2596 the commandmentG2003 of GodG2316 ourG2257 SaviourG4990;
To TitusG5103, mine ownG1103 sonG5043 afterG2596 the commonG2839 faithG4102: GraceG5485, mercyG1656, and peaceG1515, fromG575 GodG2316 the FatherG3962 andG2532 the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 ourG2257 SaviourG4990.
For thisG5127 causeG5484 left IG2641 theeG4571 inG1722 CreteG2914, thatG2443 thou shouldest set in orderG1930 the things that are wantingG3007, andG2532 ordainG2525 eldersG4245 in everyG2596 cityG4172, asG5613 IG1473 had appointedG1299 theeG4671: {wanting: or, left undone}
If anyG1536 beG2076 blamelessG410, the husbandG435 of oneG3391 wifeG1135, havingG2192 faithfulG4103 childrenG5043 notG3361 accusedG1722+G2724 of riotG810 orG2228 unrulyG506.
ForG1063 a bishopG1985 mustG1163 beG1511 blamelessG410, asG5613 the stewardG3623 of GodG2316; notG3361 selfwilledG829, notG3361 soon angryG3711, notG3361 given to wineG3943, noG3361 strikerG4131, notG3361 given to filthy lucreG146;
ButG235 a lover of hospitalityG5382, a lover of good menG5358, soberG4998, justG1342, holyG3741, temperateG1468; {men: or, things}
Holding fastG472 the faithfulG4103 wordG3056 asG2596 he hath been taughtG1322, thatG2443 he may beG5600 ableG1415 byG1722 soundG5198 doctrineG1319 bothG2532 to exhortG3870 andG2532 to convinceG1651 the gainsayersG483. {as…: or, in teaching}
ForG1063 there areG1526 manyG4183 unrulyG506 andG2532 vain talkersG3151 andG2532 deceiversG5423, speciallyG3122 they ofG1537 the circumcisionG4061:
WhoseG3739 mouthsG1993 mustG1163 be stoppedG1993, whoG3748 subvertG396 wholeG3650 housesG3624, teachingG1321 things whichG3739 they oughtG1163 notG3361, forG5484 filthyG150 lucre'sG2771 sakeG5484.
OneG5100 ofG1537 themselvesG846, even a prophetG4396 of theirG846 ownG2398, saidG2036, The CretiansG2912 are alwayG104 liarsG5583, evilG2556 beastsG2342, slowG692 belliesG1064.
ThisG3778 witnessG3141 isG2076 trueG227. WhereforeG1223+G3739+G156 rebukeG1651 themG846 sharplyG664, thatG2443 they may be soundG5198 inG1722 the faithG4102;
NotG3361 giving heedG4337 to JewishG2451 fablesG3454, andG2532 commandmentsG1785 of menG444, that turn fromG654 the truthG225.
Unto the pureG2513 all thingsG3956 are pureG3303+G2513: butG1161 unto them that are defiledG3392 andG2532 unbelievingG571 is nothingG3762 pureG2513; butG235 evenG2532 theirG846 mindG3563 andG2532 conscienceG4893 is defiledG3392.
They professG3670 that they knowG1492 GodG2316; butG1161 in worksG2041 they denyG720 him, beingG5607 abominableG947, andG2532 disobedientG545, andG2532 untoG4314 everyG3956 goodG18 workG2041 reprobateG96. {reprobate: or, void of judgment}
A man'sH120 giftH4976 maketh roomH7337 for him, and bringethH5148 him beforeH6440 great menH1419.
Now the LORDH3068 had saidH559 unto AbramH87, Get thee outH3212 of thy countryH776, and from thy kindredH4138, and from thy father'sH1 houseH1004, unto a landH776 that I will shewH7200 thee:
And I will make of theeH6213 a greatH1419 nationH1471, and I will blessH1288 thee, and makeH1431 thy nameH8034 greatH1431; and thou shalt be a blessingH1293:
And I will blessH1288 them that blessH1288 thee, and curseH779 him that cursethH7043 thee: and in thee shall all familiesH4940 of the earthH127 be blessedH1288.
So AbramH87 departedH3212, as the LORDH3068 had spokenH1696 unto him; and LotH3876 wentH3212 with him: and AbramH87 was seventyH7657+H8141 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he departedH3318 out of HaranH2771.
And AbramH87 tookH3947 SaraiH8297 his wifeH802, and LotH3876 his brother'sH251 sonH1121, and all their substanceH7399 that they had gatheredH7408, and the soulsH5315 that they had gottenH6213 in HaranH2771; and they went forthH3318 to goH3212 into the landH776 of CanaanH3667; and into the landH776 of CanaanH3667 they cameH935.
And AbramH87 passed throughH5674 the landH776 unto the placeH4725 of SichemH7927, unto the plainH436 of MorehH4176. And the CanaaniteH3669 was thenH227 in the landH776.
And the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 unto AbramH87, and saidH559, Unto thy seedH2233 will I giveH5414 thisH2063 landH776: and there buildedH1129 he an altarH4196 unto the LORDH3068, who appearedH7200 unto him.
And he removedH6275 from thence unto a mountainH2022 on the eastH6924 of BethelH1008, and pitchedH5186 his tentH168, having BethelH1008 on the westH3220, and HaiH5857 on the eastH6924: and there he buildedH1129 an altarH4196 unto the LORDH3068, and calledH7121 upon the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068.
And AbramH87 journeyedH5265, going onH1980 stillH5265 toward the southH5045. {going…: Heb. in going and journeying}
And there was a famineH7458 in the landH776: and AbramH87 went downH3381 into EgyptH4714 to sojournH1481 there; for the famineH7458 was grievousH3515 in the landH776.
And it came to pass, whenH834 he was come nearH7126 to enterH935 into EgyptH4714, that he saidH559 unto SaraiH8297 his wifeH802, BeholdH2009 nowH4994, I knowH3045 that thou art a fairH3303 womanH802 to look uponH4758:
Therefore it shall come to pass, when the EgyptiansH4713 shall seeH7200 thee, that they shall sayH559, This is his wifeH802: and they will killH2026 me, but they will save thee aliveH2421.
SayH559, I pray theeH4994, thou art my sisterH269: thatH4616 it may be wellH3190 with me for thy sake; and my soulH5315 shall liveH2421 because of theeH1558.
And it came to pass, that, when AbramH87 was comeH935 into EgyptH4714, the EgyptiansH4713 beheldH7200 the womanH802 that she was veryH3966 fairH3303.
The princesH8269 also of PharaohH6547 sawH7200 her, and commendedH1984 her beforeH413 PharaohH6547: and the womanH802 was takenH3947 into Pharaoh'sH6547 houseH1004.
And he entreatedH3190 AbramH87 wellH3190 for her sake: and he had sheepH6629, and oxenH1241, and he assesH2543, and menservantsH5650, and maidservantsH8198, and she assesH860, and camelsH1581.
And the LORDH3068 plaguedH5060 PharaohH6547 and his houseH1004 with greatH1419 plaguesH5061 because ofH1697 SaraiH8297 Abram'sH87 wifeH802.
And PharaohH6547 calledH7121 AbramH87, and saidH559, What is this that thou hast doneH6213 unto me? why didst thou not tellH5046 me that she was thy wifeH802?
Why saidst thouH559, She is my sisterH269? so I might have takenH3947 her to me to wifeH802: now therefore behold thy wifeH802, takeH3947 her, and go thy wayH3212.
And PharaohH6547 commandedH6680 his menH582 concerning him: and they sent him awayH7971, and his wifeH802, and all that he had.
ThisG3778 witnessG3141 isG2076 trueG227. WhereforeG1223+G3739+G156 rebukeG1651 themG846 sharplyG664, thatG2443 they may be soundG5198 inG1722 the faithG4102;
And it came to passH1961, that when IsaacH3327 was oldH2204, and his eyesH5869 were dimH3543, so that he could not seeH7200, he calledH7121 EsauH6215 his eldestH1419 sonH1121, and saidH559 unto him, My sonH1121: and he saidH559 unto him, Behold, here am I.
And he saidH559, Behold now, I am oldH2204, I knowH3045 not the dayH3117 of my deathH4194:
Now therefore takeH5375, I pray thee, thy weaponsH3627, thy quiverH8522 and thy bowH7198, and go outH3318 to the fieldH7704, and takeH6679 me some venisonH6718+H6720; {take: Heb. hunt}
And makeH6213 me savoury meatH4303, such asH834 I loveH157, and bringH935 it to me, that I may eatH398; that my soulH5315 may blessH1288 thee beforeH2962 I dieH4191.
And RebekahH7259 heardH8085 when IsaacH3327 spakeH1696 to EsauH6215 his sonH1121. And EsauH6215 wentH3212 to the fieldH7704 to huntH6679 for venisonH6718, and to bringH935 it.
And RebekahH7259 spakeH559 unto JacobH3290 her sonH1121, sayingH559, Behold, I heardH8085 thy fatherH1 speakH1696 unto EsauH6215 thy brotherH251, sayingH559,
BringH935 me venisonH6718, and makeH6213 me savoury meatH4303, that I may eatH398, and blessH1288 thee beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 beforeH6440 my deathH4194.
Now therefore, my sonH1121, obeyH8085 my voiceH6963 according to that whichH834 I commandH6680 thee.
GoH3212 now to the flockH6629, and fetchH3947 me from thence twoH8147 goodH2896 kidsH1423 of the goatsH5795; and I will makeH6213 them savoury meatH4303 for thy fatherH1, such as he lovethH157:
And thou shalt bringH935 it to thy fatherH1, that he may eatH398, and thatH834 he may blessH1288 thee beforeH6440 his deathH4194.
And JacobH3290 saidH559 to RebekahH7259 his motherH517, Behold, EsauH6215 my brotherH251 is a hairyH8163 manH376, and I am a smoothH2509 manH376:
My fatherH1 peradventure will feelH4959 me, and I shall seemH5869 to him as a deceiverH8591; and I shall bringH935 a curseH7045 upon me, and not a blessingH1293.
And his motherH517 saidH559 unto him, Upon me be thy curseH7045, my sonH1121: only obeyH8085 my voiceH6963, and goH3212 fetchH3947 me them.
And he wentH3212, and fetchedH3947, and broughtH935 them to his motherH517: and his motherH517 madeH6213 savoury meatH4303, such as his fatherH1 lovedH157.
And RebekahH7259 tookH3947 goodlyH2532 raimentH899 of her eldestH1419 sonH1121 EsauH6215, which were with her in the houseH1004, and put them uponH3847 JacobH3290 her youngerH6996 sonH1121: {goodly: Heb. desirable}
And she putH3847 the skinsH5785 of the kidsH1423 of the goatsH5795 upon his handsH3027, and upon the smoothH2513 of his neckH6677:
And she gaveH5414 the savoury meatH4303 and the breadH3899, which she had preparedH6213, into the handH3027 of her sonH1121 JacobH3290.
And he cameH935 unto his fatherH1, and saidH559, My fatherH1: and he saidH559, Here am I; who art thou, my sonH1121?
And JacobH3290 saidH559 unto his fatherH1, I am EsauH6215 thy firstbornH1060; I have doneH6213 according as thou badestH1696 me: ariseH6965, I pray thee, sitH3427 and eatH398 of my venisonH6718, that thy soulH5315 may blessH1288 me.
And IsaacH3327 saidH559 unto his sonH1121, How is it that thou hast foundH4672 it so quicklyH4116, my sonH1121? And he saidH559, Because the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 broughtH7136 it to meH6440. {to me: Heb. before me}
And IsaacH3327 saidH559 unto JacobH3290, Come nearH5066, I pray thee, that I may feelH4184 thee, my sonH1121, whether thou be my veryH2088 sonH1121 EsauH6215 or not.
And JacobH3290 went nearH5066 unto IsaacH3327 his fatherH1; and he feltH4959 him, and saidH559, The voiceH6963 is Jacob'sH3290 voiceH6963, but the handsH3027 are the handsH3027 of EsauH6215.
And he discernedH5234 him not, because his handsH3027 were hairyH8163, as his brotherH251 Esau'sH6215 handsH3027: so he blessedH1288 him.
And he saidH559, Art thou my very sonH1121 EsauH6215? And he saidH559, I am.
And he saidH559, Bring it nearH5066 to me, and I will eatH398 of my son'sH1121 venisonH6718, that my soulH5315 may blessH1288 thee. And he brought it nearH5066 to him, and he did eatH398: and he broughtH935 him wineH3196, and he drankH8354.
And his fatherH1 IsaacH3327 saidH559 unto him, Come nearH5066 now, and kissH5401 me, my sonH1121.
And he came nearH5066, and kissedH5401 him: and he smelledH7306 the smellH7381 of his raimentH899, and blessedH1288 him, and saidH559, SeeH7200, the smellH7381 of my sonH1121 is as the smellH7381 of a fieldH7704 which the LORDH3068 hath blessedH1288:
Therefore GodH430 giveH5414 thee of the dewH2919 of heavenH8064, and the fatnessH4924 of the earthH776, and plentyH7230 of cornH1715 and wineH8492:
Let peopleH5971 serveH5647 thee, and nationsH3816 bow downH7812 to thee: beH1933 lordH1376 over thy brethrenH251, and let thy mother'sH517 sonsH1121 bow downH7812 to thee: cursedH779 be every one that cursethH779 thee, and blessedH1288 be he that blessethH1288 thee.
And it came to pass, as soon as IsaacH3327 had made an endH3615 of blessingH1288 JacobH3290, and JacobH3290 was yetH389 scarceH3318 gone outH3318 from the presenceH6440 of IsaacH3327 his fatherH1, that EsauH6215 his brotherH251 came inH935 from his huntingH6718.
And he also had madeH6213 savoury meatH4303, and brought itH935 unto his fatherH1, and saidH559 unto his fatherH1, Let my fatherH1 ariseH6965, and eatH398 of his son'sH1121 venisonH6718, that thy soulH5315 may blessH1288 me.
And IsaacH3327 his fatherH1 saidH559 unto him, Who art thou? And he saidH559, I am thy sonH1121, thy firstbornH1060 EsauH6215.
And IsaacH3327 trembledH2729 veryH1419 exceedinglyH3966+H2731, and saidH559, Who? whereH645 is he that hath takenH6679 venisonH6718, and broughtH935 it me, and I have eatenH398 of all before thou camestH935, and have blessedH1288 him? yea, and he shall be blessedH1288. {trembled…: Heb. trembled with a great trembling greatly} {taken: Heb. hunted}
And when EsauH6215 heardH8085 the wordsH1697 of his fatherH1, he criedH6817 with a greatH1419 and exceedingH3966 bitterH4751 cryH6818, and saidH559 unto his fatherH1, BlessH1288 me, even me also, O my fatherH1.
And he saidH559, Thy brotherH251 cameH935 with subtiltyH4820, and hath taken awayH3947 thy blessingH1293.
And he saidH559, Is not he rightlyH3588 namedH7121+H8034 JacobH3290? for he hath supplanted meH6117 theseH2088 two timesH6471: he took awayH3947 my birthrightH1062; and, behold, now he hath taken awayH3947 my blessingH1293. And he saidH559, Hast thou not reservedH680 a blessingH1293 for me? {Jacob: that is, A supplanter}
And IsaacH3327 answeredH6030 and saidH559 unto EsauH6215, Behold, I have madeH7760 him thy lordH1376, and all his brethrenH251 have I givenH5414 to him for servantsH5650; and with cornH1715 and wineH8492 have I sustainedH5564 him: and what shall I doH6213 nowH645 unto thee, my sonH1121? {sustained: or, supported}
And EsauH6215 saidH559 unto his fatherH1, Hast thou but oneH259 blessingH1293, my fatherH1? blessH1288 me, even me also, O my fatherH1. And EsauH6215 lifted upH5375 his voiceH6963, and weptH1058.
And IsaacH3327 his fatherH1 answeredH6030 and saidH559 unto him, Behold, thy dwellingH4186 shall be the fatnessH4924 of the earthH776, and of the dewH2919 of heavenH8064 from aboveH5920; {the fatness: or, of the fatness}
And by thy swordH2719 shalt thou liveH2421, and shalt serveH5647 thy brotherH251; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominionH7300, that thou shalt breakH6561 his yokeH5923 from off thy neckH6677.
And EsauH6215 hatedH7852 JacobH3290 becauseH5921 of the blessingH1293 wherewithH834 his fatherH1 blessed himH1288: and EsauH6215 saidH559 in his heartH3820, The daysH3117 of mourningH60 for my fatherH1 are at handH7126; then will I slayH2026 my brotherH251 JacobH3290.
And these wordsH1697 of EsauH6215 her elderH1419 sonH1121 were toldH5046 to RebekahH7259: and she sentH7971 and calledH7121 JacobH3290 her youngerH6996 sonH1121, and saidH559 unto him, Behold, thy brotherH251 EsauH6215, as touching thee, doth comfortH5162 himself, purposing to killH2026 thee.
Now therefore, my sonH1121, obeyH8085 my voiceH6963; and ariseH6965, fleeH1272 thou to LabanH3837 my brotherH251 to HaranH2771;
And tarryH3427 with him a fewH259 daysH3117, untilH834 thy brother'sH251 furyH2534 turn awayH7725;
Until thy brother'sH251 angerH639 turn awayH7725 from thee, and he forgetH7911 that which thou hast doneH6213 to him: then I will sendH7971, and fetchH3947 thee from thence: whyH4100 should I be deprivedH7921 also of you bothH8147 in oneH259 dayH3117?
And RebekahH7259 saidH559 to IsaacH3327, I am wearyH6973 of my lifeH2416 becauseH6440 of the daughtersH1323 of HethH2845: if JacobH3290 takeH3947 a wifeH802 of the daughtersH1323 of HethH2845, such as these which are of the daughtersH1323 of the landH776, what goodH4100 shall my lifeH2416 do me?
I was almostH4592 in all evilH7451 in the midstH8432 of the congregationH6951 and assemblyH5712.
Do not drinkH8354 wineH3196 nor strong drinkH7941, thou, nor thy sonsH1121 with thee, when ye goH935 into the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150, lest ye dieH4191: it shall be a statuteH2708 for everH5769 throughout your generationsH1755:
By faithG4102 IsaacG2464 blessedG2127 JacobG2384 andG2532 EsauG2269 concerningG4012 things to comeG3195.
And it came to pass in the daysH3117 of AmraphelH569 kingH4428 of ShinarH8152, AriochH746 kingH4428 of EllasarH495, ChedorlaomerH3540 kingH4428 of ElamH5867, and TidalH8413 kingH4428 of nationsH1471;
That these madeH6213 warH4421 withH854 BeraH1298 kingH4428 of SodomH5467, and with BirshaH1306 kingH4428 of GomorrahH6017, ShinabH8134 kingH4428 of AdmahH126, and ShemeberH8038 kingH4428 of ZeboiimH6636, and the kingH4428 of BelaH1106, which isH1931 ZoarH6820.
All these were joined togetherH2266 in the valeH6010 of SiddimH7708, whichH1931 is the saltH4417 seaH3220.
TwelveH6240+H8147 yearsH8141 they servedH5647+H853 ChedorlaomerH3540, and in the thirteenthH7969+H6240 yearH8141 they rebelledH4775.
And in the fourteenthH6240+H702 yearH8141 cameH935 ChedorlaomerH3540, and the kingsH4428 that were with him, and smoteH5221 the RephaimsH7497 in Ashteroth KarnaimH6255, and the ZuzimsH2104 in HamH1990, and the EmimsH368 in Shaveh KiriathaimH7741, {Shaveh…: or, The plain of Kiriathaim}
And the HoritesH2752 in their mountH2042 SeirH8165, unto ElparanH364, which is byH5921 the wildernessH4057. {Elparan: or, The plain of Paran}
And they returnedH7725, and cameH935 toH413 EnmishpatH5880, which is KadeshH6946, and smoteH5221 all the countryH7704 of the AmalekitesH6003, and also the AmoritesH567, that dweltH3427 in HazezontamarH2688.
And there went outH3318 the kingH4428 of SodomH5467, and the kingH4428 of GomorrahH6017, and the kingH4428 of AdmahH126, and the kingH4428 of ZeboiimH6636, and the kingH4428 of BelaH1106 (the sameH1931 is ZoarH6820;) and they joinedH6186 battleH4421 with them in the valeH6010 of SiddimH7708;
With ChedorlaomerH3540 the kingH4428 of ElamH5867, and with TidalH8413 kingH4428 of nationsH1471, and AmraphelH569 kingH4428 of ShinarH8152, and AriochH746 kingH4428 of EllasarH495; fourH702 kingsH4428 with fiveH2568.
And the valeH6010 of SiddimH7708 was full ofH875 slimepitsH875+H2564; and the kingsH4428 of SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017 fledH5127, and fellH5307 there; and they that remainedH7604 fledH5127 to the mountainH2022.
And they tookH3947 all the goodsH7399 of SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017, and all their victualsH400, and went their wayH3212.
And they tookH3947 LotH3876, Abram'sH87 brother'sH251 sonH1121, who dweltH3427 in SodomH5467, and his goodsH7399, and departedH3212.
And there cameH935 one that had escapedH6412, and toldH5046 AbramH87 the HebrewH5680; for he dweltH7931 in the plainH436 of MamreH4471 the AmoriteH567, brotherH251 of EshcolH812, and brotherH251 of AnerH6063: and these were confederateH1167+H1285 with AbramH87.
And when AbramH87 heardH8085 that his brotherH251 was taken captiveH7617, he armedH7324 his trainedH2593 servants, bornH3211 in his own houseH1004, threeH7969 hundredH3967 and eighteenH6240+H8083, and pursuedH7291 them unto DanH1835. {armed: or, led forth} {trained: or, instructed}
And he dividedH2505 himself against them, he and his servantsH5650, by nightH3915, and smoteH5221 them, and pursuedH7291 them unto HobahH2327, which is on the left handH8040 of DamascusH1834.
And he brought backH7725 all the goodsH7399, and also brought againH7725 his brotherH251 LotH3876, and his goodsH7399, and the womenH802 also, and the peopleH5971.
And the kingH4428 of SodomH5467 went outH3318 to meetH7125 him afterH310 his returnH7725 from the slaughterH5221 of ChedorlaomerH3540, and of the kingsH4428 that were with him, at the valleyH6010 of ShavehH7740, whichH1931 is the king'sH4428 daleH6010.
And MelchizedekH4442 kingH4428 of SalemH8004 brought forthH3318 breadH3899 and wineH3196: and he was the priestH3548 of the most highH5945 GodH410.
And he blessedH1288 him, and saidH559, BlessedH1288 be AbramH87 of the most highH5945 GodH410, possessorH7069 of heavenH8064 and earthH776:
And blessedH1288 be the most highH5945 GodH410, which hath deliveredH4042 thine enemiesH6862 into thy handH3027. And he gaveH5414 him tithesH4643 of all.
And the kingH4428 of SodomH5467 saidH559 unto AbramH87, GiveH5414 me the personsH5315, and takeH3947 the goodsH7399 to thyself. {persons: Heb. souls}
And AbramH87 saidH559 to the kingH4428 of SodomH5467, I have lift upH7311 mine handH3027 unto the LORDH3068, the most highH5945 GodH410, the possessorH7069 of heavenH8064 and earthH776,
That I will notH518 take from a threadH2339 even to a shoelatchetH5275+H8288, and that I will notH518 takeH3947 any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest sayH559, I have madeH6238 AbramH87 richH6238:
SaveH1107 only that whichH834 the young menH5288 have eatenH398, and the portionH2506 of the menH582 which wentH1980 withH854 me, AnerH6063, EshcolH812, and MamreH4471; let themH1992 takeH3947 their portionH2506.
SpeakH1696 unto AaronH175 and unto his sonsH1121, sayingH559, On this wiseH3541 ye shall blessH1288 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559 unto them,
The LORDH3068 blessH1288 thee, and keepH8104 thee:
The LORDH3068 make his faceH6440 shineH215 upon thee, and be graciousH2603 unto thee:
The LORDH3068 lift upH5375 his countenanceH6440 upon thee, and giveH7760 thee peaceH7965.
And they shall putH7760 my nameH8034 upon the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478; and I will blessH1288 them.
And it came to passH1961, that when IsaacH3327 was oldH2204, and his eyesH5869 were dimH3543, so that he could not seeH7200, he calledH7121 EsauH6215 his eldestH1419 sonH1121, and saidH559 unto him, My sonH1121: and he saidH559 unto him, Behold, here am I.
And he saidH559, Behold now, I am oldH2204, I knowH3045 not the dayH3117 of my deathH4194:
Now therefore takeH5375, I pray thee, thy weaponsH3627, thy quiverH8522 and thy bowH7198, and go outH3318 to the fieldH7704, and takeH6679 me some venisonH6718+H6720; {take: Heb. hunt}
And makeH6213 me savoury meatH4303, such asH834 I loveH157, and bringH935 it to me, that I may eatH398; that my soulH5315 may blessH1288 thee beforeH2962 I dieH4191.
And RebekahH7259 heardH8085 when IsaacH3327 spakeH1696 to EsauH6215 his sonH1121. And EsauH6215 wentH3212 to the fieldH7704 to huntH6679 for venisonH6718, and to bringH935 it.
And RebekahH7259 spakeH559 unto JacobH3290 her sonH1121, sayingH559, Behold, I heardH8085 thy fatherH1 speakH1696 unto EsauH6215 thy brotherH251, sayingH559,
BringH935 me venisonH6718, and makeH6213 me savoury meatH4303, that I may eatH398, and blessH1288 thee beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 beforeH6440 my deathH4194.
Now therefore, my sonH1121, obeyH8085 my voiceH6963 according to that whichH834 I commandH6680 thee.
GoH3212 now to the flockH6629, and fetchH3947 me from thence twoH8147 goodH2896 kidsH1423 of the goatsH5795; and I will makeH6213 them savoury meatH4303 for thy fatherH1, such as he lovethH157:
And thou shalt bringH935 it to thy fatherH1, that he may eatH398, and thatH834 he may blessH1288 thee beforeH6440 his deathH4194.
And JacobH3290 saidH559 to RebekahH7259 his motherH517, Behold, EsauH6215 my brotherH251 is a hairyH8163 manH376, and I am a smoothH2509 manH376:
My fatherH1 peradventure will feelH4959 me, and I shall seemH5869 to him as a deceiverH8591; and I shall bringH935 a curseH7045 upon me, and not a blessingH1293.
And his motherH517 saidH559 unto him, Upon me be thy curseH7045, my sonH1121: only obeyH8085 my voiceH6963, and goH3212 fetchH3947 me them.
And he wentH3212, and fetchedH3947, and broughtH935 them to his motherH517: and his motherH517 madeH6213 savoury meatH4303, such as his fatherH1 lovedH157.
And RebekahH7259 tookH3947 goodlyH2532 raimentH899 of her eldestH1419 sonH1121 EsauH6215, which were with her in the houseH1004, and put them uponH3847 JacobH3290 her youngerH6996 sonH1121: {goodly: Heb. desirable}
And she putH3847 the skinsH5785 of the kidsH1423 of the goatsH5795 upon his handsH3027, and upon the smoothH2513 of his neckH6677:
And she gaveH5414 the savoury meatH4303 and the breadH3899, which she had preparedH6213, into the handH3027 of her sonH1121 JacobH3290.
And he cameH935 unto his fatherH1, and saidH559, My fatherH1: and he saidH559, Here am I; who art thou, my sonH1121?
And JacobH3290 saidH559 unto his fatherH1, I am EsauH6215 thy firstbornH1060; I have doneH6213 according as thou badestH1696 me: ariseH6965, I pray thee, sitH3427 and eatH398 of my venisonH6718, that thy soulH5315 may blessH1288 me.
And IsaacH3327 saidH559 unto his sonH1121, How is it that thou hast foundH4672 it so quicklyH4116, my sonH1121? And he saidH559, Because the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 broughtH7136 it to meH6440. {to me: Heb. before me}
And IsaacH3327 saidH559 unto JacobH3290, Come nearH5066, I pray thee, that I may feelH4184 thee, my sonH1121, whether thou be my veryH2088 sonH1121 EsauH6215 or not.
And JacobH3290 went nearH5066 unto IsaacH3327 his fatherH1; and he feltH4959 him, and saidH559, The voiceH6963 is Jacob'sH3290 voiceH6963, but the handsH3027 are the handsH3027 of EsauH6215.
And he discernedH5234 him not, because his handsH3027 were hairyH8163, as his brotherH251 Esau'sH6215 handsH3027: so he blessedH1288 him.
And he saidH559, Art thou my very sonH1121 EsauH6215? And he saidH559, I am.
And he saidH559, Bring it nearH5066 to me, and I will eatH398 of my son'sH1121 venisonH6718, that my soulH5315 may blessH1288 thee. And he brought it nearH5066 to him, and he did eatH398: and he broughtH935 him wineH3196, and he drankH8354.
And his fatherH1 IsaacH3327 saidH559 unto him, Come nearH5066 now, and kissH5401 me, my sonH1121.
And he came nearH5066, and kissedH5401 him: and he smelledH7306 the smellH7381 of his raimentH899, and blessedH1288 him, and saidH559, SeeH7200, the smellH7381 of my sonH1121 is as the smellH7381 of a fieldH7704 which the LORDH3068 hath blessedH1288:
Therefore GodH430 giveH5414 thee of the dewH2919 of heavenH8064, and the fatnessH4924 of the earthH776, and plentyH7230 of cornH1715 and wineH8492:
Let peopleH5971 serveH5647 thee, and nationsH3816 bow downH7812 to thee: beH1933 lordH1376 over thy brethrenH251, and let thy mother'sH517 sonsH1121 bow downH7812 to thee: cursedH779 be every one that cursethH779 thee, and blessedH1288 be he that blessethH1288 thee.
And it came to pass, as soon as IsaacH3327 had made an endH3615 of blessingH1288 JacobH3290, and JacobH3290 was yetH389 scarceH3318 gone outH3318 from the presenceH6440 of IsaacH3327 his fatherH1, that EsauH6215 his brotherH251 came inH935 from his huntingH6718.
And he also had madeH6213 savoury meatH4303, and brought itH935 unto his fatherH1, and saidH559 unto his fatherH1, Let my fatherH1 ariseH6965, and eatH398 of his son'sH1121 venisonH6718, that thy soulH5315 may blessH1288 me.
And IsaacH3327 his fatherH1 saidH559 unto him, Who art thou? And he saidH559, I am thy sonH1121, thy firstbornH1060 EsauH6215.
And IsaacH3327 trembledH2729 veryH1419 exceedinglyH3966+H2731, and saidH559, Who? whereH645 is he that hath takenH6679 venisonH6718, and broughtH935 it me, and I have eatenH398 of all before thou camestH935, and have blessedH1288 him? yea, and he shall be blessedH1288. {trembled…: Heb. trembled with a great trembling greatly} {taken: Heb. hunted}
And when EsauH6215 heardH8085 the wordsH1697 of his fatherH1, he criedH6817 with a greatH1419 and exceedingH3966 bitterH4751 cryH6818, and saidH559 unto his fatherH1, BlessH1288 me, even me also, O my fatherH1.
And he saidH559, Thy brotherH251 cameH935 with subtiltyH4820, and hath taken awayH3947 thy blessingH1293.
And he saidH559, Is not he rightlyH3588 namedH7121+H8034 JacobH3290? for he hath supplanted meH6117 theseH2088 two timesH6471: he took awayH3947 my birthrightH1062; and, behold, now he hath taken awayH3947 my blessingH1293. And he saidH559, Hast thou not reservedH680 a blessingH1293 for me? {Jacob: that is, A supplanter}
And IsaacH3327 answeredH6030 and saidH559 unto EsauH6215, Behold, I have madeH7760 him thy lordH1376, and all his brethrenH251 have I givenH5414 to him for servantsH5650; and with cornH1715 and wineH8492 have I sustainedH5564 him: and what shall I doH6213 nowH645 unto thee, my sonH1121? {sustained: or, supported}
And EsauH6215 saidH559 unto his fatherH1, Hast thou but oneH259 blessingH1293, my fatherH1? blessH1288 me, even me also, O my fatherH1. And EsauH6215 lifted upH5375 his voiceH6963, and weptH1058.
And IsaacH3327 his fatherH1 answeredH6030 and saidH559 unto him, Behold, thy dwellingH4186 shall be the fatnessH4924 of the earthH776, and of the dewH2919 of heavenH8064 from aboveH5920; {the fatness: or, of the fatness}
And by thy swordH2719 shalt thou liveH2421, and shalt serveH5647 thy brotherH251; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominionH7300, that thou shalt breakH6561 his yokeH5923 from off thy neckH6677.
And EsauH6215 hatedH7852 JacobH3290 becauseH5921 of the blessingH1293 wherewithH834 his fatherH1 blessed himH1288: and EsauH6215 saidH559 in his heartH3820, The daysH3117 of mourningH60 for my fatherH1 are at handH7126; then will I slayH2026 my brotherH251 JacobH3290.
And these wordsH1697 of EsauH6215 her elderH1419 sonH1121 were toldH5046 to RebekahH7259: and she sentH7971 and calledH7121 JacobH3290 her youngerH6996 sonH1121, and saidH559 unto him, Behold, thy brotherH251 EsauH6215, as touching thee, doth comfortH5162 himself, purposing to killH2026 thee.
Now therefore, my sonH1121, obeyH8085 my voiceH6963; and ariseH6965, fleeH1272 thou to LabanH3837 my brotherH251 to HaranH2771;
And tarryH3427 with him a fewH259 daysH3117, untilH834 thy brother'sH251 furyH2534 turn awayH7725;
Until thy brother'sH251 angerH639 turn awayH7725 from thee, and he forgetH7911 that which thou hast doneH6213 to him: then I will sendH7971, and fetchH3947 thee from thence: whyH4100 should I be deprivedH7921 also of you bothH8147 in oneH259 dayH3117?
And RebekahH7259 saidH559 to IsaacH3327, I am wearyH6973 of my lifeH2416 becauseH6440 of the daughtersH1323 of HethH2845: if JacobH3290 takeH3947 a wifeH802 of the daughtersH1323 of HethH2845, such as these which are of the daughtersH1323 of the landH776, what goodH4100 shall my lifeH2416 do me?
And JacobH3290 calledH7121 unto his sonsH1121, and saidH559, Gather yourselves togetherH622, that I may tellH5046 you that which shall befallH7122 you in the lastH319 daysH3117.
Gather yourselves togetherH6908, and hearH8085, ye sonsH1121 of JacobH3290; and hearkenH8085 unto IsraelH3478 your fatherH1.
ReubenH7205, thou art my firstbornH1060, my mightH3581, and the beginningH7225 of my strengthH202, the excellencyH3499 of dignityH7613, and the excellencyH3499 of powerH5794:
UnstableH6349 as waterH4325, thou shalt not excelH3498; because thou wentest upH5927 to thy father'sH1 bedH4904; then defiledst thouH2490 it: he went upH5927 to my couchH3326. {thou shalt…: Heb. do not thou excel} {he went…: or, my couch is gone}
SimeonH8095 and LeviH3878 are brethrenH251; instrumentsH3627 of crueltyH2555 are in their habitationsH4380. {instruments…: or, their swords are weapons of violence}
O my soulH5315, comeH935 not thou into their secretH5475; unto their assemblyH6951, mine honourH3519, be not thou unitedH3161: for in their angerH639 they slewH2026 a manH376, and in their selfwillH7522 they digged downH6131 a wallH7794. {digged…: or, houghed oxen}
CursedH779 be their angerH639, for it was fierceH5794; and their wrathH5678, for it was cruelH7185: I will divideH2505 them in JacobH3290, and scatterH6327 them in IsraelH3478.
JudahH3063, thou art he whom thy brethrenH251 shall praiseH3034: thy handH3027 shall be in the neckH6203 of thine enemiesH341; thy father'sH1 childrenH1121 shall bow downH7812 before thee.
JudahH3063 is a lion'sH738 whelpH1482: from the preyH2964, my sonH1121, thou art gone upH5927: he stooped downH3766, he couchedH7257 as a lionH738, and as an old lionH3833; who shall rouse him upH6965?
The sceptreH7626 shall not departH5493 from JudahH3063, nor a lawgiverH2710 from between his feetH7272, untilH3588 ShilohH7886 comeH935; and unto him shall the gatheringH3349 of the peopleH5971 be.
BindingH631 his foalH5895 unto the vineH1612, and his ass'sH860 coltH1121 unto the choice vineH8321; he washedH3526 his garmentsH3830 in wineH3196, and his clothesH5497 in the bloodH1818 of grapesH6025:
His eyesH5869 shall be redH2447 with wineH3196, and his teethH8127 whiteH3836 with milkH2461.
ZebulunH2074 shall dwellH7931 at the havenH2348 of the seaH3220; and he shall be for an havenH2348 of shipsH591; and his borderH3411 shall be unto ZidonH6721.
IssacharH3485 is a strongH1634 assH2543 couching downH7257 between two burdensH4942:
And he sawH7200 that restH4496 was goodH2896, and the landH776 that it was pleasantH5276; and bowedH5186 his shoulderH7926 to bearH5445, and became a servantH5647 unto tributeH4522.
DanH1835 shall judgeH1777 his peopleH5971, as oneH259 of the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478.
DanH1835 shall be a serpentH5175 by the wayH1870, an adderH8207 in the pathH734, that bitethH5391 the horseH5483 heelsH6119, so that his riderH7392 shall fallH5307 backwardH268. {an adder: Heb. an arrow-snake}
I have waited forH6960 thy salvationH3444, O LORDH3068.
GadH1410, a troopH1416 shall overcomeH1464 him: but he shall overcomeH1464 at the lastH6119.
Out of AsherH836 his breadH3899 shall be fatH8082, and he shall yieldH5414 royalH4428 daintiesH4574.
NaphtaliH5321 is a hindH355 let looseH7971: he givethH5414 goodlyH8233 wordsH561.
JosephH3130 is a fruitfulH6509 boughH1121, even a fruitfulH6509 boughH1121 by a wellH5869; whose branchesH1323 runH6805 over the wallH7791: {branches: Heb. daughters}
The archersH1167+H2671 have sorely grieved himH4843, and shotH7232 at him, and hated himH7852:
But his bowH7198 abodeH3427 in strengthH386, and the armsH2220 of his handsH3027 were made strongH6339 by the handsH3027 of the mightyH46 God of JacobH3290; (from thence is the shepherdH7462, the stoneH68 of IsraelH3478:)
Even by the GodH410 of thy fatherH1, who shall helpH5826 thee; and byH854 the AlmightyH7706, who shall blessH1288 thee with blessingsH1293 of heavenH8064 aboveH5920, blessingsH1293 of the deepH8415 that liethH7257 under, blessingsH1293 of the breastsH7699, and of the wombH7356:
The blessingsH1293 of thy fatherH1 have prevailedH1396 above the blessingsH1293 of my progenitorsH2029 unto the utmost boundH8379 of the everlastingH5769 hillsH1389: they shall be on the headH7218 of JosephH3130, and on the crown of the headH6936 of him that was separateH5139 from his brethrenH251.
BenjaminH1144 shall ravinH2963 as a wolfH2061: in the morningH1242 he shall devourH398 the preyH5706, and at nightH6153 he shall divideH2505 the spoilH7998.
All these are the twelveH6240+H8147 tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478: and this is it that their fatherH1 spakeH1696 unto them, and blessedH1288 them; everyH834 oneH376 according to his blessingH1293 he blessedH1288 them.
And he chargedH6680 them, and saidH559 unto them, I am to be gatheredH622 unto my peopleH5971: buryH6912 me with my fathersH1 in the caveH4631 that is in the fieldH7704 of EphronH6085 the HittiteH2850,
In the caveH4631 that is in the fieldH7704 of MachpelahH4375, which is beforeH6440 MamreH4471, in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, which AbrahamH85 boughtH7069 with the fieldH7704 of EphronH6085 the HittiteH2850 for a possessionH272 of a buryingplaceH6913.
There they buriedH6912 AbrahamH85 and SarahH8283 his wifeH802; there they buriedH6912 IsaacH3327 and RebekahH7259 his wifeH802; and there I buriedH6912 LeahH3812.
The purchaseH4735 of the fieldH7704 and of the caveH4631 that is therein was from the childrenH1121 of HethH2845.
And when JacobH3290 had made an endH3615 of commandingH6680 his sonsH1121, he gathered upH622 his feetH7272 into the bedH4296, and yielded up the ghostH1478, and was gatheredH622 unto his peopleH5971.
And it came to pass afterH310 these thingsH1697, that one toldH559 JosephH3130, Behold, thy fatherH1 is sickH2470: and he tookH3947 with him his twoH8147 sonsH1121, ManassehH4519 and EphraimH669.
And one toldH5046 JacobH3290, and saidH559, Behold, thy sonH1121 JosephH3130 comethH935 unto thee: and IsraelH3478 strengthenedH2388 himself, and satH3427 upon the bedH4296.
And JacobH3290 saidH559 unto JosephH3130, GodH410 AlmightyH7706 appearedH7200 unto me at LuzH3870 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, and blessedH1288 me,
And saidH559 unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitfulH6509, and multiplyH7235 thee, and I will makeH5414 of thee a multitudeH6951 of peopleH5971; and will giveH5414 this landH776 to thy seedH2233 after theeH310 for an everlastingH5769 possessionH272.
And now thy twoH8147 sonsH1121, EphraimH669 and ManassehH4519, which were bornH3205 unto thee in the landH776 of EgyptH4714 beforeH5704 I cameH935 unto thee into EgyptH4714, are mine; as ReubenH7205 and SimeonH8095, they shall be mine.
And thy issueH4138, which thou begettestH3205 afterH310 them, shall be thine, and shall be calledH7121 afterH5921 the nameH8034 of their brethrenH251 in their inheritanceH5159.
And as for me, when I cameH935 from PadanH6307, RachelH7354 diedH4191 by me in the landH776 of CanaanH3667 in the wayH1870, whenH5750 yet there was but a littleH3530 wayH776 to comeH935 unto EphrathH672: and I buried herH6912 there in the wayH1870 of EphrathH672; the same is BethlehemH1035.
And IsraelH3478 beheldH7200 Joseph'sH3130 sonsH1121, and saidH559, Who are these?
And JosephH3130 saidH559 unto his fatherH1, They are my sonsH1121, whom GodH430 hath givenH5414 me in this place. And he saidH559, Bring themH3947, I pray thee, unto me, and I will blessH1288 them.
Now the eyesH5869 of IsraelH3478 were dimH3513 for ageH2207, so that he couldH3201 not seeH7200. And he brought them nearH5066 unto him; and he kissedH5401 them, and embracedH2263 them. {dim: Heb. heavy}
And IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto JosephH3130, I had not thoughtH6419 to seeH7200 thy faceH6440: and, lo, GodH430 hath shewedH7200 me also thy seedH2233.
And JosephH3130 brought them outH3318 from betweenH5973 his kneesH1290, and he bowedH7812 himself with his faceH639 to the earthH776.
And JosephH3130 tookH3947 them bothH8147, EphraimH669 in his right handH3225 toward Israel'sH3478 left handH8040, and ManassehH4519 in his left handH8040 toward Israel'sH3478 right handH3225, and brought them nearH5066 unto him.
And IsraelH3478 stretched outH7971 his right handH3225, and laidH7896 it upon Ephraim'sH669 headH7218, who was the youngerH6810, and his left handH8040 upon Manasseh'sH4519 headH7218, guidingH7919 his handsH3027 wittinglyH7919; for ManassehH4519 was the firstbornH1060.
And he blessedH1288 JosephH3130, and saidH559, GodH430, beforeH6440 whom my fathersH1 AbrahamH85 and IsaacH3327 did walkH1980, the GodH430 which fedH7462 me all my life longH5750 unto this dayH3117,
The AngelH4397 which redeemedH1350 me from all evilH7451, blessH1288 the ladsH5288; and let my nameH8034 be namedH7121 on them, and the nameH8034 of my fathersH1 AbrahamH85 and IsaacH3327; and let them growH1711 into a multitudeH7230 in the midstH7130 of the earthH776. {grow: Heb. as fishes do increase}
And when JosephH3130 sawH7200 that his fatherH1 laidH7896 his rightH3225 handH3027 upon the headH7218 of EphraimH669, it displeasedH3415+H5869 him: and he held upH8551 his father'sH1 handH3027, to removeH5493 it from Ephraim'sH669 headH7218 unto Manasseh'sH4519 headH7218. {displeased…: was evil in his eyes}
And JosephH3130 saidH559 unto his fatherH1, Not so, my fatherH1: for this is the firstbornH1060; putH7760 thy right handH3225 upon his headH7218.
And his fatherH1 refusedH3985, and saidH559, I knowH3045 it, my sonH1121, I knowH3045 it: he also shall become a peopleH5971, and he also shall be greatH1431: but trulyH199 his youngerH6996 brotherH251 shall be greaterH1431 than he, and his seedH2233 shall become a multitudeH4393 of nationsH1471. {multitude: Heb. fulness}
And he blessedH1288 them that dayH3117, sayingH559, In thee shall IsraelH3478 blessH1288, sayingH559, GodH430 makeH7760 thee as EphraimH669 and as ManassehH4519: and he setH7760 EphraimH669 beforeH6440 ManassehH4519.
And IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto JosephH3130, Behold, I dieH4191: but GodH430 shall be with you, and bring you againH7725 unto the landH776 of your fathersH1.
Moreover I have givenH5414 to thee oneH259 portionH7926 above thy brethrenH251, which I tookH3947 out of the handH3027 of the AmoriteH567 with my swordH2719 and with my bowH7198.
And SarahH8283 was an hundredH3967+H8141 and sevenH7651+H8141 and twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH2416: these were the yearsH8141 of the lifeH2416 of SarahH8283.
And SarahH8283 diedH4191 in KirjatharbaH7153; the same is HebronH2275 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667: and AbrahamH85 cameH935 to mournH5594 for SarahH8283, and to weepH1058 for her.
And AbrahamH85 stood upH6965 from beforeH6440 his deadH4191, and spakeH1696 unto the sonsH1121 of HethH2845, sayingH559,
I am a strangerH1616 and a sojournerH8453 with you: giveH5414 me a possessionH272 of a buryingplaceH6913 with you, that I may buryH6912 my deadH4191 out of my sightH6440.
And the childrenH1121 of HethH2845 answeredH6030 AbrahamH85, sayingH559 unto him,
Hear usH8085, my lordH113: thou art a mightyH430 princeH5387 among usH8432: in the choiceH4005 of our sepulchresH6913 buryH6912 thy deadH4191; noneH3808+H376 of us shall withholdH3607 from thee his sepulchreH6913, but that thou mayest buryH6912 thy deadH4191. {a mighty…: Heb. a prince of God}
And AbrahamH85 stood upH6965, and bowedH7812 himself to the peopleH5971 of the landH776, even to the childrenH1121 of HethH2845.
And he communedH1696 with them, sayingH559, If it beH3426 your mindH5315 that I should buryH6912 my deadH4191 out of my sightH6440; hearH8085 me, and intreatH6293 for me to EphronH6085 the sonH1121 of ZoharH6714,
That he may giveH5414 me the caveH4631 of MachpelahH4375, which he hath, which is in the endH7097 of his fieldH7704; for as muchH4392 moneyH3701 as it is worthH4392 he shall give itH5414 me for a possessionH272 of a buryingplaceH6913 amongst youH8432. {as much…: Heb. full money}
And EphronH6085 dweltH3427 amongH8432 the childrenH1121 of HethH2845: and EphronH6085 the HittiteH2850 answeredH6030 AbrahamH85 in the audienceH241 of the childrenH1121 of HethH2845, even of all that went inH935 at the gateH8179 of his cityH5892, sayingH559, {audience: Heb. ears}
NayH3808, my lordH113, hear meH8085: the fieldH7704 give IH5414 thee, and the caveH4631 that is therein, I give itH5414 thee; in the presenceH5869 of the sonsH1121 of my peopleH5971 giveH5414 I it thee: buryH6912 thy deadH4191.
And AbrahamH85 bowed downH7812 himself beforeH6440 the peopleH5971 of the landH776.
And he spakeH1696 unto EphronH6085 in the audienceH241 of the peopleH5971 of the landH776, sayingH559, But if thou wilt give it, I pray theeH3863, hearH8085 me: I will giveH5414 thee moneyH3701 for the fieldH7704; takeH3947 it of me, and I will buryH6912 my deadH4191 there.
And EphronH6085 answeredH6030 AbrahamH85, sayingH559 unto him,
My lordH113, hearkenH8085 unto me: the landH776 is worth fourH702 hundredH3967 shekelsH8255 of silverH3701; what is that betwixtH996 me and thee? buryH6912 therefore thy deadH4191.
And AbrahamH85 hearkenedH8085 unto EphronH6085; and AbrahamH85 weighedH8254 to EphronH6085 the silverH3701, which he had namedH1696 in the audienceH241 of the sonsH1121 of HethH2845, fourH702 hundredH3967 shekelsH8255 of silverH3701, currentH5674 money with the merchantH5503.
And the fieldH7704 of EphronH6085, which was in MachpelahH4375, which was beforeH6440 MamreH4471, the fieldH7704, and the caveH4631 which was therein, and all the treesH6086 that were in the fieldH7704, that were in all the bordersH1366 round aboutH5439, were made sureH6965
Unto AbrahamH85 for a possessionH4736 in the presenceH5869 of the childrenH1121 of HethH2845, before all that went inH935 at the gateH8179 of his cityH5892.
And afterH310 thisH3651, AbrahamH85 buriedH6912 SarahH8283 his wifeH802 in the caveH4631 of the fieldH7704 of MachpelahH4375 beforeH6440 MamreH4471: the same is HebronH2275 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667.
And the fieldH7704, and the caveH4631 that is therein, were made sureH6965 unto AbrahamH85 for a possessionH272 of a buryingplaceH6913 by the sonsH1121 of HethH2845.
And the LORDH3068 visitedH6485 SarahH8283 as he had saidH559, and the LORDH3068 didH6213 unto SarahH8283 as he had spokenH1696.
For SarahH8283 conceivedH2029, and bareH3205 AbrahamH85 a sonH1121 in his old ageH2208, at the set timeH4150 of which GodH430 had spokenH1696 to him.
And AbrahamH85 calledH7121 the nameH8034 of his sonH1121 that was bornH3205 unto him, whom SarahH8283 bareH3205 to him, IsaacH3327.
And AbrahamH85 circumcisedH4135 his sonH1121 IsaacH3327 being eightH8083 daysH3117 oldH1121, as GodH430 had commandedH6680 him.
And AbrahamH85 was an hundredH3967 yearsH8141 oldH1121, when his sonH1121 IsaacH3327 was bornH3205 unto him.
And SarahH8283 saidH559, GodH430 hath madeH6213 me to laughH6712, so that all that hearH8085 will laughH6711 with me.
And she saidH559, Who would have saidH4448 unto AbrahamH85, that SarahH8283 should have given childrenH1121 suckH3243? for I have bornH3205 him a sonH1121 in his old ageH2208.
And the childH3206 grewH1431, and was weanedH1580: and AbrahamH85 madeH6213 a greatH1419 feastH4960 the same dayH3117 that IsaacH3327 was weanedH1580.
And SarahH8283 sawH7200 the sonH1121 of HagarH1904 the EgyptianH4713, which she had bornH3205 unto AbrahamH85, mockingH6711.
Wherefore she saidH559 unto AbrahamH85, Cast outH1644 this bondwomanH519 and her sonH1121: for the sonH1121 of this bondwomanH519 shall not be heirH3423 with my sonH1121, even with IsaacH3327.
And the thingH1697 was veryH3966 grievousH3415 in Abraham'sH85 sightH5869 becauseH182 of his sonH1121.
And GodH430 saidH559 unto AbrahamH85, Let it not be grievousH3415 in thy sightH5869 because of the ladH5288, and because of thy bondwomanH519; in all that SarahH8283 hath saidH559 unto thee, hearkenH8085 unto her voiceH6963; for in IsaacH3327 shall thy seedH2233 be calledH7121.
And also of the sonH1121 of the bondwomanH519 will I makeH7760 a nationH1471, because he is thy seedH2233.
And AbrahamH85 rose up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and tookH3947 breadH3899, and a bottleH2573 of waterH4325, and gaveH5414 it unto HagarH1904, puttingH7760 it on her shoulderH7926, and the childH3206, and sent her awayH7971: and she departedH3212, and wanderedH8582 in the wildernessH4057 of BeershebaH884.
And the waterH4325 was spentH3615 inH4480 the bottleH2573, and she castH7993 the childH3206 under oneH259 of the shrubsH7880.
And she wentH3212, and sat her downH3427 over againstH5048 him a good way offH7368, as it were a bowshotH2909+H7198: for she saidH559, Let me not seeH7200 the deathH4194 of the childH3206. And she satH3427 over against him, and lift upH5375 her voiceH6963, and weptH1058.
And GodH430 heardH8085 the voiceH6963 of the ladH5288; and the angelH4397 of GodH430 calledH7121 to HagarH1904 out of heavenH8064, and saidH559 unto her, What aileth thee, HagarH1904? fearH3372 not; for GodH430 hath heardH8085 the voiceH6963 of the ladH5288 where he is.
AriseH6965, lift upH5375 the ladH5288, and holdH2388 him in thine handH3027; for I will makeH7760 him a greatH1419 nationH1471.
And GodH430 openedH6491 her eyesH5869, and she sawH7200 a wellH875 of waterH4325; and she wentH3212, and filledH4390 the bottleH2573 with waterH4325, and gaveH8248 the ladH5288 drinkH8248.
And GodH430 was with the ladH5288; and he grewH1431, and dweltH3427 in the wildernessH4057, and became an archerH7235+H7199.
And he dweltH3427 in the wildernessH4057 of ParanH6290: and his motherH517 tookH3947 him a wifeH802 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
And it came to pass at that timeH6256, that AbimelechH40 and PhicholH6369 the chief captainH8269 of his hostH6635 spakeH559 unto AbrahamH85, sayingH559, GodH430 is with thee in all that thou doestH6213:
Now therefore swearH7650 unto me hereH2008 by GodH430 that thou wilt not deal falselyH8266 with me, nor with my sonH5209, nor with my son's sonH5220: but according to the kindnessH2617 that I have doneH6213 unto thee, thou shalt doH6213 unto me, and to the landH776 wherein thou hast sojournedH1481. {that thou…: Heb. if thou shalt lie unto me}
And AbrahamH85 saidH559, I will swearH7650.
And AbrahamH85 reprovedH3198 AbimelechH40 becauseH182 of a wellH875 of waterH4325, which Abimelech'sH40 servantsH5650 had violently taken awayH1497.
And AbimelechH40 saidH559, I wotH3045 not who hath doneH6213 this thingH1697: neitherH3808 didst thou tellH5046 me, neitherH3808 yet heardH8085 I of it, butH1115 to dayH3117.
And AbrahamH85 tookH3947 sheepH6629 and oxenH1241, and gaveH5414 them unto AbimelechH40; and both of themH8147 madeH3772 a covenantH1285.
And AbrahamH85 setH5324 sevenH7651 ewe lambsH3535 of the flockH6629 by themselves.
And AbimelechH40 saidH559 unto AbrahamH85, WhatH2008 mean these sevenH7651 ewe lambsH3535 which thou hast setH5324 by themselves?
And he saidH559, For these sevenH7651 ewe lambsH3535 shalt thou takeH3947 of my handH3027, thatH5668 they may be a witnessH5713 unto me, that I have diggedH2658 this wellH875.
Wherefore he calledH7121 that placeH4725 BeershebaH884; because there they swareH7650 both of themH8147. {Beersheba: that is, The well of the oath}
Thus they madeH3772 a covenantH1285 at BeershebaH884: then AbimelechH40 rose upH6965, and PhicholH6369 the chief captainH8269 of his hostH6635, and they returnedH7725 into the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430.
And Abraham plantedH5193 a groveH815 in BeershebaH884, and calledH7121 there on the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, the everlastingH5769 GodH410. {grove: or, tree}
And AbrahamH85 sojournedH1481 in the Philistines'H6430 landH776 manyH7227 daysH3117.
NowG1161 a certainG5100 man wasG2258 sickG770, named LazarusG2976, ofG575 BethanyG963+G1537, the townG2968 of MaryG3137 andG2532 herG846 sisterG79 MarthaG3136.
(It wasG2258 that MaryG3137 whichG3588 anointedG218 the LordG2962 with ointmentG3464, andG2532 wipedG1591 hisG846 feetG4228 with herG846 hairG2359, whoseG3739 brotherG80 LazarusG2976 was sickG770.)
ThereforeG3767 his sistersG79 sentG649 untoG4314 himG846, sayingG3004, LordG2962, beholdG2396, he whomG3739 thou lovestG5368 is sickG770.
WhenG1161 JesusG2424 heardG191 that, he saidG2036, ThisG3778 sicknessG769 isG2076 notG3756 untoG4314 deathG2288, butG235 forG5228 the gloryG1391 of GodG2316, thatG2443 the SonG5207 of GodG2316 might be glorifiedG1392 therebyG1223+G846.
NowG1161 JesusG2424 lovedG25 MarthaG3136, andG2532 herG846 sisterG79, andG2532 LazarusG2976.
WhenG5613 he had heardG191 thereforeG3767 thatG3754 he was sickG770, he abodeG3306 twoG1417 daysG2250 stillG5119+G3303 inG1722 the same placeG5117 whereG3739 he wasG2258.
ThenG1899 afterG3326 thatG5124 saith heG3004 to his disciplesG3101, Let us goG71 intoG1519 JudaeaG2449 againG3825.
His disciplesG3101 sayG3004 unto himG846, MasterG4461, the JewsG2453 of lateG3568 soughtG2212 to stoneG3034 theeG4571; andG2532 goest thouG5217 thitherG1563 againG3825?
JesusG2424 answeredG611, Are thereG1526 notG3780 twelveG1427 hoursG5610 in the dayG2250? IfG1437 any manG5100 walkG4043 inG1722 the dayG2250, he stumblethG4350 notG3756, becauseG3754 he seethG991 the lightG5457 of thisG5127 worldG2889.
ButG1161 ifG1437 a manG5100 walkG4043 inG1722 the nightG3571, he stumblethG4350, becauseG3754 there isG2076 noG3756 lightG5457 inG1722 himG846.
These thingsG5023 saidG2036 heG846: andG2532 afterG3326 thatG5124 he saithG3004 unto themG846, OurG2257 friendG5384 LazarusG2976 sleepethG2837; butG235 I goG4198, thatG2443 I may awakeG1852 himG846 out of sleepG1852.
ThenG3767 saidG2036 hisG846 disciplesG3101, LordG2962, ifG1487 he sleepG2837, he shall do wellG4982.
HowbeitG1161 JesusG2424 spakeG2046 ofG4012 hisG846 deathG2288: butG1161 theyG1565 thoughtG1380 thatG3754 he had spokenG3004 ofG4012 taking of restG2838 in sleepG5258.
ThenG5119+G3767 saidG2036 JesusG2424 unto themG846 plainlyG3954, LazarusG2976 is deadG599.
AndG2532 I am gladG5463 forG1223 your sakesG5209 thatG3754 I wasG2252+G2258 notG3756 thereG1563, to the intentG2443 ye may believeG4100; neverthelessG235 let us goG71 untoG4314 himG846.
ThenG3767 saidG2036 ThomasG2381, whichG3588 is calledG3004 DidymusG1324, unto his fellowdisciplesG4827, Let usG71 alsoG2532 goG71, thatG2443 weG2249 may dieG599 withG3326 himG846.
ThenG3767 when JesusG2424 cameG2064, he foundG2147 that heG846 hadG2192 lain inG1722 the graveG3419 fourG5064 daysG2250 alreadyG2235.
NowG1161 BethanyG963 wasG2258 nighG1451 unto JerusalemG2414, aboutG5613 fifteenG1178 furlongsG4712 offG575: {about…: that is, about two miles}
AndG2532 manyG4183 ofG1537 the JewsG2453 cameG2064 toG4314 MarthaG3136 andG2532 MaryG3137+G4012, toG2443 comfortG3888 themG846 concerningG4012 theirG846 brotherG80.
ThenG3767 MarthaG3136, as soon asG5613 she heardG191 thatG3754 JesusG2424 was comingG2064, went and metG5221 himG846: butG1161 MaryG3137 satG2516 still inG1722 the houseG3624.
ThenG3767 saidG2036 MarthaG3136 untoG4314 JesusG2424, LordG2962, ifG1487 thou hadst beenG2258 hereG5602, myG3450 brotherG80+G302 hadG2348 notG3756 diedG2348.
ButG235 I knowG1492, that evenG2532 nowG3568, whatsoeverG3754+G3745+G302 thou wilt askG154 of GodG2316, GodG2316 will giveG1325 it theeG4671.
JesusG2424 saithG3004 unto herG846, ThyG4675 brotherG80 shall rise againG450.
MarthaG3136 saithG3004 unto himG846, I knowG1492 thatG3754 he shall rise againG450 inG1722 the resurrectionG386 atG1722 the lastG2078 dayG2250.
JesusG2424 saidG2036 unto herG846, IG1473 amG1510 the resurrectionG386, andG2532 the lifeG2222: he that believethG4100 inG1519 meG1691, thoughG2579 he were deadG599, yet shall he liveG2198:
AndG2532 whosoeverG3956 livethG2198 andG2532 believethG4100 inG1519 meG1691 shallG599 neverG3364+G1519+G165 dieG599. Believest thouG4100 thisG5124?
She saithG3004 unto himG846, YeaG3483, LordG2962: IG1473 believeG4100 thatG3754 thouG4771 artG1488 the ChristG5547, the SonG5207 of GodG2316, whichG3588 should comeG2064 intoG1519 the worldG2889.
AndG2532 when she hadG2036 soG5023 saidG2036, she went her wayG565, andG2532 calledG5455 MaryG3137 herG846 sisterG79 secretlyG2977, sayingG2036, The MasterG1320 is comeG3918, andG2532 calleth forG5455 theeG4571.
As soon asG5613 sheG1565 heardG191 that, she aroseG1453 quicklyG5035, andG2532 cameG2064 untoG4314 himG846.
NowG1161 JesusG2424 wasG2064 not yetG3768 comeG2064 intoG1519 the townG2968, butG235 wasG2258 inG1722 that placeG5117 whereG3699 MarthaG3136 metG5221 himG846.
The JewsG2453 thenG3767 whichG3588 wereG5607 withG3326 herG846 inG1722 the houseG3614, andG2532 comfortedG3888 herG846, when they sawG1492 MaryG3137, thatG3754 she rose upG450 hastilyG5030 andG2532 went outG1831, followedG190 herG846, sayingG3004+G3754, She goethG5217 untoG1519 the graveG3419 toG2443 weepG2799 thereG1563.
ThenG3767 whenG5613 MaryG3137 was comeG2064 whereG3699 JesusG2424 wasG2258, and sawG1492 himG846, she fell downG4098 atG1519 hisG846 feetG4228, sayingG3004 unto himG846, LordG2962, ifG1487 thou hadst beenG2258 hereG5602, myG3450 brotherG80 hadG302 notG3756 diedG599.
WhenG5613 JesusG2424 thereforeG3767 sawG1492 herG846 weepingG2799, andG2532 the JewsG2453 also weepingG2799 which cameG4905 with herG846, he groanedG1690 in the spiritG4151, andG2532 was troubledG5015+G1438, {was troubled: Gr. he troubled himself}
AndG2532 saidG2036, WhereG4226 have ye laidG5087 himG846? They saidG3004 unto himG846, LordG2962, comeG2064 andG2532 seeG1492.
ThenG3767 saidG3004 the JewsG2453, BeholdG2396 howG4459 he lovedG5368 himG846!
AndG1161 someG5100 ofG1537 themG846 saidG2036, CouldG1410 notG3756 this manG3778, whichG3588 openedG455 the eyesG3788 of the blindG5185, have causedG4160 thatG2443 evenG2532 this manG3778 shouldG599 notG3361 have diedG599?
JesusG2424 thereforeG3767 againG3825 groaningG1690 inG1722 himselfG1438 comethG2064 toG1519 the graveG3419+G1161. It wasG2258 a caveG4693, andG2532 a stoneG3037 layG1945 uponG1909 itG846.
JesusG2424 saidG3004, Take ye awayG142 the stoneG3037. MarthaG3136, the sisterG79 of him that was deadG2348, saithG3004 unto himG846, LordG2962, by this timeG2235 he stinkethG3605: forG1063 he hath beenG2076 dead four daysG5066.
JesusG2424 saithG3004 unto herG846, Said IG2036 notG3756 unto theeG4671, thatG3754, ifG1437 thou wouldest believeG4100, thou shouldest seeG3700 the gloryG1391 of GodG2316?
ThenG3767 they took awayG142 the stoneG3037 from the place whereG3757 the deadG2348 wasG2258 laidG2749. AndG1161 JesusG2424 liftedG142 upG507 his eyesG3788, andG2532 saidG2036, FatherG3962, I thankG2168 theeG4671 thatG3754 thou hast heardG191 meG3450.
AndG1161 IG1473 knewG1492 thatG3754 thou hearestG191 meG3450 alwaysG3842: butG235 becauseG1223 of the peopleG3793 whichG3588 stand byG4026 I saidG2036 it, thatG2443 they may believeG4100 thatG3754 thouG4771 hast sentG649 meG3165.
AndG2532 when he thusG5023 had spokenG2036, he criedG2905 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, LazarusG2976, comeG1204 forthG1854.
AndG2532 he that was deadG2348 came forthG1831, boundG1210 handG5495 andG2532 footG4228 with graveclothesG2750: andG2532 hisG846 faceG3799 was bound aboutG4019 with a napkinG4676. JesusG2424 saithG3004 unto themG846, LooseG3089 himG846, andG2532 let himG863 goG5217.
ThenG3767 manyG4183 ofG1537 the JewsG2453 whichG3588 cameG2064 toG4314 MaryG3137, andG2532 had seenG2300 the things whichG3739 JesusG2424 didG4160, believedG4100 onG1519 himG846.
ButG1161 someG5100 ofG1537 themG846 went their waysG565 toG4314 the PhariseesG5330, andG2532 toldG2036 themG846 what thingsG3739 JesusG2424 had doneG4160.
ThenG3767 gatheredG4863 the chief priestsG749 andG2532 the PhariseesG5330 a councilG4892, andG2532 saidG3004, WhatG5101 do weG4160? forG3754 thisG3778 manG444 doethG4160 manyG4183 miraclesG4592.
IfG1437 we letG863 himG846 thusG3779 aloneG863, allG3956 men will believeG4100 onG1519 himG846: andG2532 the RomansG4514 shall comeG2064 andG2532 take awayG142 bothG2532 ourG2257 placeG5117 andG2532 nationG1484.
AndG1161 oneG1520+G5100 ofG1537 themG846, named CaiaphasG2533, beingG5607 the high priestG749 that sameG1565 yearG1763, saidG2036 unto themG846, YeG5210 knowG1492 nothing at allG3756+G3762,
NorG3761 considerG1260 thatG3754 it is expedientG4851 for usG2254, thatG2443 oneG1520 manG444 should dieG599 forG5228 the peopleG2992, andG2532 that the wholeG3650 nationG1484 perishG622 notG3361.
AndG1161 thisG5124 spake heG2036 notG3756 ofG575 himselfG1438: butG235 beingG5607 high priestG749 thatG1565 yearG1763, he prophesiedG4395 thatG3754 JesusG2424 shouldG3195 dieG599 for thatG5228 nationG1484;
AndG2532 notG3756 for thatG5228 nationG1484 onlyG3440, butG235 thatG2443 alsoG2532 he should gather togetherG4863 inG1519 oneG1520 the childrenG5043 of GodG2316 that were scattered abroadG1287.
ThenG3767 fromG575 thatG1565 dayG2250 forth they took counsel togetherG4823 for toG2443 putG615 himG846 to deathG615.
JesusG2424 thereforeG3767 walkedG4043 no moreG3765 openlyG3954 amongG1722 the JewsG2453; butG235 wentG565 thenceG1564 untoG1519 a countryG5561 nearG1451 to the wildernessG2048, intoG1519 a cityG4172 calledG3004 EphraimG2187, and thereG2546 continuedG1304 withG3326 hisG846 disciplesG3101.
AndG1161 the Jews'G2453 passoverG3957 wasG2258 nigh at handG1451: andG2532 manyG4183 wentG305 out ofG1537 the countryG5561 upG1519 to JerusalemG2414 beforeG4253 the passoverG3957, toG2443 purifyG48 themselvesG1438.
ThenG3767 sought they forG2212 JesusG2424, andG2532 spakeG3004 amongG3326 themselvesG240, as they stoodG2476 inG1722 the templeG2411, WhatG5101 thinkG1380 yeG5213, thatG3754 he willG2064 notG3364 comeG2064 toG1519 the feastG1859?
NowG1161 bothG2532 the chief priestsG749 andG2532 the PhariseesG5330 had givenG1325 a commandmentG1785, thatG2443, ifG1437 any manG5100 knewG1097 whereG4226 he wereG2076, he should shewG3377 it, thatG3704 they might takeG4084 himG846.
By faithG4102 IsaacG2464 blessedG2127 JacobG2384 andG2532 EsauG2269 concerningG4012 things to comeG3195.
And he putH7760 garrisonsH5333 in EdomH123; throughout all EdomH123 putH7760 he garrisonsH5333, and all they of EdomH123 became David'sH1732 servantsH5650. And the LORDH3068 preservedH3467 DavidH1732 whithersoever he wentH1980.
In his daysH3117 the EdomitesH123 revoltedH6586 from under the dominionH3027 of JudahH3063, and madeH4427 themselves a kingH4428. {dominion: Heb. hand}
And savioursH3467 shall come upH5927 on mountH2022 ZionH6726 to judgeH8199 the mountH2022 of EsauH6215; and the kingdomH4410 shall be the LORD'SH3068.
AndG2532 he beganG756 againG3825 to teachG1321 byG3844 the sea sideG2281: andG2532 there was gatheredG4863 untoG4314 himG846 a greatG4183 multitudeG3793, so thatG5620 heG846 enteredG1684 intoG1519 a shipG4143, and satG2521 inG1722 the seaG2281; andG2532 the wholeG3956 multitudeG3793 wasG2258 byG4314 the seaG2281 onG1909 the landG1093.
AndG2532 he taughtG1321 themG846 many thingsG4183 byG1722 parablesG3850, andG2532 saidG3004 unto themG846 inG1722 hisG846 doctrineG1322,
HearkenG191; BeholdG2400, there went outG1831 a sowerG4687 to sowG4687:
AndG2532 it came to passG1096, asG1722 he sowedG4687, someG3739+G3303 fellG4098 byG3844 the way sideG3598, andG2532 the fowlsG4071 of the airG3772 cameG2064 andG2532 devouredG2719 itG846 upG2719.
AndG1161 someG243 fellG4098 onG1909 stony groundG4075, whereG3699 it hadG2192 notG3756 muchG4183 earthG1093; andG2532 immediatelyG2112 it sprang upG1816, becauseG1223 it hadG2192 noG3361 depthG899 of earthG1093:
ButG1161 whenG393 the sunG2246 was upG393, it was scorchedG2739; andG2532 becauseG1223 it hadG2192 noG3361 rootG4491, it withered awayG3583.
AndG2532 someG243 fellG4098 amongG1519 thornsG173, andG2532 the thornsG173 grew upG305, andG2532 chokedG4846 itG846, andG2532 it yieldedG1325 noG3756 fruitG2590.
AndG2532 otherG243 fellG4098 onG1519 goodG2570 groundG1093, andG2532 did yieldG1325 fruitG2590 that sprang upG305 andG2532 increasedG837; andG2532 brought forthG5342, someG1520 thirtyG5144, andG2532 someG1520 sixtyG1835, andG2532 someG1520 an hundredG1540.
AndG2532 he saidG3004 unto themG846, He that hathG2192 earsG3775 to hearG191, let him hearG191.
AndG1161 whenG3753 he wasG1096 aloneG2651, they that were aboutG4012 himG846 withG4862 the twelveG1427 askedG2065 of himG846 the parableG3850.
AndG2532 he saidG3004 unto themG846, Unto youG5213 it is givenG1325 to knowG1097 the mysteryG3466 of the kingdomG932 of GodG2316: butG1161 unto themG1565 that are withoutG1854, all these thingsG3956 are doneG1096 inG1722 parablesG3850:
ThatG2443 seeingG991 they may seeG991, andG2532 notG3361 perceiveG1492; andG2532 hearingG191 they may hearG191, andG2532 notG3361 understandG4920; lest at any timeG3379 they should be convertedG1994, andG2532 their sinsG265 should be forgivenG863 themG846.
AndG2532 he saidG3004 unto themG846, Know yeG1492 notG3756 thisG5026 parableG3850? andG2532 how thenG4459 will ye knowG1097 allG3956 parablesG3850?
The sowerG4687 sowethG4687 the wordG3056.
AndG1161 theseG3778 are theyG1526 byG3844 the way sideG3598, whereG3699 the wordG3056 is sownG4687; butG2532 whenG3752 they have heardG191, SatanG4567 comethG2064 immediatelyG2112, andG2532 taketh awayG142 the wordG3056 that was sownG4687 inG1722 theirG846 heartsG2588.
AndG2532 theseG3778 are theyG1526 likewiseG3668 which are sownG4687 onG1909 stony groundG4075; whoG3739, whenG3752 they have heardG191 the wordG3056, immediatelyG2112 receiveG2983 itG846 withG3326 gladnessG5479;
AndG2532 haveG2192 noG3756 rootG4491 inG1722 themselvesG1438, andG235 so endureG1526 but for a timeG4340: afterwardG1534, when afflictionG2347 orG2228 persecutionG1375 arisethG1096 forG1223 the word's sakeG3056, immediatelyG2112 they are offendedG4624. {offended: or, stumbled, or, caused to fall into sin}
AndG2532 theseG3778 areG1526 they which areG1526 sownG4687 amongG1519 thornsG173; such asG3778 hearG191 the wordG3056,
AndG2532 the caresG3308 of thisG5127 worldG165, andG2532 the deceitfulnessG539 of richesG4149, andG2532 the lustsG1939 ofG4012 other thingsG3062 entering inG1531, chokeG4846 the wordG3056, andG2532 it becomethG1096 unfruitfulG175. {lusts: or, inordinate desires}
AndG2532 theseG3778 areG1526 they which are sownG4687 onG1909 goodG2570 groundG1093; such asG3748 hearG191 the wordG3056, andG2532 receiveG3858 it, andG2532 bring forth fruitG2592, someG1520 thirtyfoldG5144, someG2532+G1520 sixtyG1835, andG2532 someG1520 an hundredG1540.
AndG2532 he saidG3004 unto themG846, IsG3385 a candleG3088 broughtG2064 toG2443 be putG5087 underG5259 a bushelG3426, orG2228 underG5259 a bedG2825? and notG3756 toG2443 be setG2007 onG1909 a candlestickG3087? {bushel: the word in the original signifieth a less measure}
ForG1063 there isG2076 nothingG3756 hidG2927+G5100, whichG3739 shallG5319 notG3362 be manifestedG5319; neitherG3761 was any thing keptG1096 secretG614, butG235 thatG2443 it should comeG2064 abroadG1519+G5318.
If any manG1536 haveG2192 earsG3775 to hearG191, let him hearG191.
AndG2532 he saidG3004 unto themG846, Take heedG991 whatG5101 ye hearG191: withG1722 whatG3739 measureG3358 ye meteG3354, it shall be measuredG3354 to youG5213: andG2532 unto youG5213 that hearG191 shall more be givenG4369.
ForG1063+G302 he thatG3739 hathG2192, to himG846 shall be givenG1325: andG2532 he thatG3739 hathG2192 notG3756, fromG575 himG846 shall be takenG142 evenG2532 that whichG3739 he hathG2192.
AndG2532 he saidG3004, SoG3779 isG2076 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316, asG5613 ifG1437 a manG444 should castG906 seedG4703 intoG1909 the groundG1093;
AndG2532 should sleepG2518, andG2532 riseG1453 nightG3571 andG2532 dayG2250, andG2532 the seedG4703 should springG985 andG2532 grow upG3373, heG846 knowethG1492 notG3756 howG5613.
ForG1063 the earthG1093 bringeth forth fruitG2592 of herselfG844; firstG4412 the bladeG5528, thenG1534 the earG4719, after thatG1534 the fullG4134 cornG4621 inG1722 the earG4719.
ButG1161 whenG3752 the fruitG2590 is brought forthG3860, immediatelyG2112 he putteth inG649 the sickleG1407, becauseG3754 the harvestG2326 is comeG3936. {brought…: or, ripe}
AndG2532 he saidG3004, WhereuntoG5101 shall we likenG3666 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316? orG2228 withG1722 whatG4169 comparisonG3850 shall we compareG3846 itG846?
It is likeG5613 a grainG2848 of mustard seedG4615, whichG3739, whenG3752 it is sownG4687 inG1909 the earthG1093, is lessG3398 than allG3956 the seedsG4690 that beG2076 inG1909 the earthG1093:
ButG2532 whenG3752 it is sownG4687, it groweth upG305, andG2532 becomethG1096 greater thanG3187 allG3956 herbsG3001, andG2532 shooteth outG4160 greatG3173 branchesG2798; so thatG5620 the fowlsG4071 of the airG3772 mayG1410 lodgeG2681 underG5259 the shadowG4639 of itG846.
AndG2532 with manyG4183 suchG5108 parablesG3850 spake heG2980 the wordG3056 unto themG846, asG2531 they were ableG1410 to hearG191 it.
ButG1161 withoutG5565 a parableG3850 spakeG2980 he notG3756 unto themG846: andG1161 when they were aloneG2398+G2596, he expoundedG1956 all thingsG3956 to hisG846 disciplesG3101.
AndG2532 theG1722 sameG1565 dayG2250, when the evenG3798 was comeG1096, he saithG3004 unto themG846, Let us pass overG1330 untoG1519 the other sideG4008.
AndG2532 when they had sent awayG863 the multitudeG3793, they tookG3880 himG846 even asG5613 he wasG2258 inG1722 the shipG4143. AndG1161 there wereG2258 alsoG2532 withG3326 himG846 otherG243 little shipsG4142.
AndG2532 there aroseG1096 a greatG3173 stormG2978 of windG417, andG1161 the wavesG2949 beatG1911 intoG1519 the shipG4143, so thatG5620 itG846 wasG1072 nowG2235 fullG1072.
AndG2532 heG846 wasG2258 inG1909 the hinder part of the shipG4403, asleepG2518 onG1909 a pillowG4344: andG2532 they awakeG1326 himG846, andG2532 sayG3004 unto himG846, MasterG1320, carestG3199 thouG4671 notG3756 thatG3754 we perishG622?
AndG2532 he aroseG1326, and rebukedG2008 the windG417, andG2532 saidG2036 unto the seaG2281, PeaceG4623, be stillG5392. AndG2532 the windG417 ceasedG2869, andG2532 there wasG1096 a greatG3173 calmG1055.
AndG2532 he saidG2036 unto themG846, WhyG5101 are yeG2075 soG3779 fearfulG1169? how is itG4459 that ye haveG2192 noG3756 faithG4102?
AndG2532 they fearedG5399 exceedinglyG5401+G3173, andG2532 saidG3004 oneG240 toG4314 anotherG240, WhatG5101 manner of manG686 isG2076 thisG3778, thatG3754 evenG2532 the windG417 andG2532 the seaG2281 obeyG5219 himG846?
And it came to passH1961, that when IsaacH3327 was oldH2204, and his eyesH5869 were dimH3543, so that he could not seeH7200, he calledH7121 EsauH6215 his eldestH1419 sonH1121, and saidH559 unto him, My sonH1121: and he saidH559 unto him, Behold, here am I.
And he saidH559, Behold now, I am oldH2204, I knowH3045 not the dayH3117 of my deathH4194:
Now therefore takeH5375, I pray thee, thy weaponsH3627, thy quiverH8522 and thy bowH7198, and go outH3318 to the fieldH7704, and takeH6679 me some venisonH6718+H6720; {take: Heb. hunt}
And makeH6213 me savoury meatH4303, such asH834 I loveH157, and bringH935 it to me, that I may eatH398; that my soulH5315 may blessH1288 thee beforeH2962 I dieH4191.
And RebekahH7259 heardH8085 when IsaacH3327 spakeH1696 to EsauH6215 his sonH1121. And EsauH6215 wentH3212 to the fieldH7704 to huntH6679 for venisonH6718, and to bringH935 it.
And RebekahH7259 spakeH559 unto JacobH3290 her sonH1121, sayingH559, Behold, I heardH8085 thy fatherH1 speakH1696 unto EsauH6215 thy brotherH251, sayingH559,
BringH935 me venisonH6718, and makeH6213 me savoury meatH4303, that I may eatH398, and blessH1288 thee beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 beforeH6440 my deathH4194.
Now therefore, my sonH1121, obeyH8085 my voiceH6963 according to that whichH834 I commandH6680 thee.
GoH3212 now to the flockH6629, and fetchH3947 me from thence twoH8147 goodH2896 kidsH1423 of the goatsH5795; and I will makeH6213 them savoury meatH4303 for thy fatherH1, such as he lovethH157:
And thou shalt bringH935 it to thy fatherH1, that he may eatH398, and thatH834 he may blessH1288 thee beforeH6440 his deathH4194.
And JacobH3290 saidH559 to RebekahH7259 his motherH517, Behold, EsauH6215 my brotherH251 is a hairyH8163 manH376, and I am a smoothH2509 manH376:
My fatherH1 peradventure will feelH4959 me, and I shall seemH5869 to him as a deceiverH8591; and I shall bringH935 a curseH7045 upon me, and not a blessingH1293.
And his motherH517 saidH559 unto him, Upon me be thy curseH7045, my sonH1121: only obeyH8085 my voiceH6963, and goH3212 fetchH3947 me them.
And he wentH3212, and fetchedH3947, and broughtH935 them to his motherH517: and his motherH517 madeH6213 savoury meatH4303, such as his fatherH1 lovedH157.
And RebekahH7259 tookH3947 goodlyH2532 raimentH899 of her eldestH1419 sonH1121 EsauH6215, which were with her in the houseH1004, and put them uponH3847 JacobH3290 her youngerH6996 sonH1121: {goodly: Heb. desirable}
And she putH3847 the skinsH5785 of the kidsH1423 of the goatsH5795 upon his handsH3027, and upon the smoothH2513 of his neckH6677:
And she gaveH5414 the savoury meatH4303 and the breadH3899, which she had preparedH6213, into the handH3027 of her sonH1121 JacobH3290.
And he cameH935 unto his fatherH1, and saidH559, My fatherH1: and he saidH559, Here am I; who art thou, my sonH1121?
And JacobH3290 saidH559 unto his fatherH1, I am EsauH6215 thy firstbornH1060; I have doneH6213 according as thou badestH1696 me: ariseH6965, I pray thee, sitH3427 and eatH398 of my venisonH6718, that thy soulH5315 may blessH1288 me.
And IsaacH3327 saidH559 unto his sonH1121, How is it that thou hast foundH4672 it so quicklyH4116, my sonH1121? And he saidH559, Because the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 broughtH7136 it to meH6440. {to me: Heb. before me}
And IsaacH3327 saidH559 unto JacobH3290, Come nearH5066, I pray thee, that I may feelH4184 thee, my sonH1121, whether thou be my veryH2088 sonH1121 EsauH6215 or not.
And JacobH3290 went nearH5066 unto IsaacH3327 his fatherH1; and he feltH4959 him, and saidH559, The voiceH6963 is Jacob'sH3290 voiceH6963, but the handsH3027 are the handsH3027 of EsauH6215.
And he discernedH5234 him not, because his handsH3027 were hairyH8163, as his brotherH251 Esau'sH6215 handsH3027: so he blessedH1288 him.
And he saidH559, Art thou my very sonH1121 EsauH6215? And he saidH559, I am.
And he saidH559, Bring it nearH5066 to me, and I will eatH398 of my son'sH1121 venisonH6718, that my soulH5315 may blessH1288 thee. And he brought it nearH5066 to him, and he did eatH398: and he broughtH935 him wineH3196, and he drankH8354.
And his fatherH1 IsaacH3327 saidH559 unto him, Come nearH5066 now, and kissH5401 me, my sonH1121.
And he came nearH5066, and kissedH5401 him: and he smelledH7306 the smellH7381 of his raimentH899, and blessedH1288 him, and saidH559, SeeH7200, the smellH7381 of my sonH1121 is as the smellH7381 of a fieldH7704 which the LORDH3068 hath blessedH1288:
Therefore GodH430 giveH5414 thee of the dewH2919 of heavenH8064, and the fatnessH4924 of the earthH776, and plentyH7230 of cornH1715 and wineH8492:
Let peopleH5971 serveH5647 thee, and nationsH3816 bow downH7812 to thee: beH1933 lordH1376 over thy brethrenH251, and let thy mother'sH517 sonsH1121 bow downH7812 to thee: cursedH779 be every one that cursethH779 thee, and blessedH1288 be he that blessethH1288 thee.
And it came to pass, as soon as IsaacH3327 had made an endH3615 of blessingH1288 JacobH3290, and JacobH3290 was yetH389 scarceH3318 gone outH3318 from the presenceH6440 of IsaacH3327 his fatherH1, that EsauH6215 his brotherH251 came inH935 from his huntingH6718.
And he also had madeH6213 savoury meatH4303, and brought itH935 unto his fatherH1, and saidH559 unto his fatherH1, Let my fatherH1 ariseH6965, and eatH398 of his son'sH1121 venisonH6718, that thy soulH5315 may blessH1288 me.
And IsaacH3327 his fatherH1 saidH559 unto him, Who art thou? And he saidH559, I am thy sonH1121, thy firstbornH1060 EsauH6215.
And IsaacH3327 trembledH2729 veryH1419 exceedinglyH3966+H2731, and saidH559, Who? whereH645 is he that hath takenH6679 venisonH6718, and broughtH935 it me, and I have eatenH398 of all before thou camestH935, and have blessedH1288 him? yea, and he shall be blessedH1288. {trembled…: Heb. trembled with a great trembling greatly} {taken: Heb. hunted}
And when EsauH6215 heardH8085 the wordsH1697 of his fatherH1, he criedH6817 with a greatH1419 and exceedingH3966 bitterH4751 cryH6818, and saidH559 unto his fatherH1, BlessH1288 me, even me also, O my fatherH1.
And he saidH559, Thy brotherH251 cameH935 with subtiltyH4820, and hath taken awayH3947 thy blessingH1293.
And he saidH559, Is not he rightlyH3588 namedH7121+H8034 JacobH3290? for he hath supplanted meH6117 theseH2088 two timesH6471: he took awayH3947 my birthrightH1062; and, behold, now he hath taken awayH3947 my blessingH1293. And he saidH559, Hast thou not reservedH680 a blessingH1293 for me? {Jacob: that is, A supplanter}
And IsaacH3327 answeredH6030 and saidH559 unto EsauH6215, Behold, I have madeH7760 him thy lordH1376, and all his brethrenH251 have I givenH5414 to him for servantsH5650; and with cornH1715 and wineH8492 have I sustainedH5564 him: and what shall I doH6213 nowH645 unto thee, my sonH1121? {sustained: or, supported}
And EsauH6215 saidH559 unto his fatherH1, Hast thou but oneH259 blessingH1293, my fatherH1? blessH1288 me, even me also, O my fatherH1. And EsauH6215 lifted upH5375 his voiceH6963, and weptH1058.
And IsaacH3327 his fatherH1 answeredH6030 and saidH559 unto him, Behold, thy dwellingH4186 shall be the fatnessH4924 of the earthH776, and of the dewH2919 of heavenH8064 from aboveH5920; {the fatness: or, of the fatness}
And by thy swordH2719 shalt thou liveH2421, and shalt serveH5647 thy brotherH251; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominionH7300, that thou shalt breakH6561 his yokeH5923 from off thy neckH6677.
And EsauH6215 hatedH7852 JacobH3290 becauseH5921 of the blessingH1293 wherewithH834 his fatherH1 blessed himH1288: and EsauH6215 saidH559 in his heartH3820, The daysH3117 of mourningH60 for my fatherH1 are at handH7126; then will I slayH2026 my brotherH251 JacobH3290.
And these wordsH1697 of EsauH6215 her elderH1419 sonH1121 were toldH5046 to RebekahH7259: and she sentH7971 and calledH7121 JacobH3290 her youngerH6996 sonH1121, and saidH559 unto him, Behold, thy brotherH251 EsauH6215, as touching thee, doth comfortH5162 himself, purposing to killH2026 thee.
Now therefore, my sonH1121, obeyH8085 my voiceH6963; and ariseH6965, fleeH1272 thou to LabanH3837 my brotherH251 to HaranH2771;
And tarryH3427 with him a fewH259 daysH3117, untilH834 thy brother'sH251 furyH2534 turn awayH7725;
Until thy brother'sH251 angerH639 turn awayH7725 from thee, and he forgetH7911 that which thou hast doneH6213 to him: then I will sendH7971, and fetchH3947 thee from thence: whyH4100 should I be deprivedH7921 also of you bothH8147 in oneH259 dayH3117?
And RebekahH7259 saidH559 to IsaacH3327, I am wearyH6973 of my lifeH2416 becauseH6440 of the daughtersH1323 of HethH2845: if JacobH3290 takeH3947 a wifeH802 of the daughtersH1323 of HethH2845, such as these which are of the daughtersH1323 of the landH776, what goodH4100 shall my lifeH2416 do me?
AndG2532 I sawG1492 inG1909 the right handG1188 of him that satG2521 onG1909 the throneG2362 a bookG975 writtenG1125 withinG2081 andG2532 on the backsideG3693, sealedG2696 with sevenG2033 sealsG4973.
AndG2532 I sawG1492 a strongG2478 angelG32 proclaimingG2784 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, WhoG5101 isG2076 worthyG514 to openG455 the bookG975, andG2532 to looseG3089 the sealsG4973 thereofG846?
AndG2532 no manG3762 inG1722 heavenG3772, norG3761 inG1909 earthG1093, neitherG3761 underG5270 the earthG1093, was ableG1410 to openG455 the bookG975, neitherG3761 to lookG991 thereonG846.
AndG2532 IG1473 weptG2799 muchG4183, becauseG3754 no manG3762 was foundG2147 worthyG514 to openG455 andG2532 to readG314 the bookG975, neitherG3777 to lookG991 thereonG846.
AndG2532 oneG1520 ofG1537 the eldersG4245 saithG3004 unto meG3427, WeepG2799 notG3361: beholdG2400, the LionG3023 ofG5607+G1537 the tribeG5443 of JudaG2455, the RootG4491 of DavidG1138, hath prevailedG3528 to openG455 the bookG975, andG2532 to looseG3089 the sevenG2033 sealsG4973 thereofG846.
AndG2532 I beheldG1492, andG2532, loG2400, inG1722 the midstG3319 of the throneG2362 andG2532 of the fourG5064 beastsG2226, andG2532 inG1722 the midstG3319 of the eldersG4245, stoodG2476 a LambG721 asG5613 it had been slainG4969, havingG2192 sevenG2033 hornsG2768 andG2532 sevenG2033 eyesG3788, whichG3739 areG1526 the sevenG2033 SpiritsG4151 of GodG2316 sent forthG649 intoG1519 allG3956 the earthG1093.
AndG2532 he cameG2064 andG2532 tookG2983 the bookG975 out ofG1537 the right handG1188 of him that satG2521 uponG1909 the throneG2362.
AndG2532 whenG3753 he had takenG2983 the bookG975, the fourG5064 beastsG2226 andG2532 fourG5064 and twentyG1501 eldersG4245 fell downG4098 beforeG1799 the LambG721, havingG2192 every one of themG1538 harpsG2788, andG2532 goldenG5552 vialsG5357 fullG1073 of odoursG2368, whichG3739 areG1526 the prayersG4335 of saintsG40. {odours: or, incense}
AndG2532 they sungG103 a newG2537 songG5603, sayingG3004, Thou artG1488 worthyG514 to takeG2983 the bookG975, andG2532 to openG455 the sealsG4973 thereofG846: forG3754 thou wast slainG4969, andG2532 hast redeemedG59 usG2248 to GodG2316 byG1722 thyG4675 bloodG129 out ofG1537 everyG3956 kindredG5443, andG2532 tongueG1100, andG2532 peopleG2992, andG2532 nationG1484;
AndG2532 hast madeG4160 usG2248 unto ourG2257 GodG2316 kingsG935 andG2532 priestsG2409: andG2532 we shall reignG936 onG1909 the earthG1093.
AndG2532 I beheldG1492, andG2532 I heardG191 the voiceG5456 of manyG4183 angelsG32 round aboutG2943 the throneG2362 andG2532 the beastsG2226 andG2532 the eldersG4245: andG2532 the numberG706 of themG846 wasG2258 ten thousandG3461 times ten thousandG3461, andG2532 thousandsG5505 of thousandsG5505;
SayingG3004 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, WorthyG514 isG2076 the LambG721 that was slainG4969 to receiveG2983 powerG1411, andG2532 richesG4149, andG2532 wisdomG4678, andG2532 strengthG2479, andG2532 honourG5092, andG2532 gloryG1391, andG2532 blessingG2129.
AndG2532 everyG3956 creatureG2938 whichG3739 isG2076 inG1722 heavenG3772, andG2532 onG1722 the earthG1093, andG2532 underG5270 the earthG1093, andG2532 such asG3739 areG2076 inG1909 the seaG2281, andG2532 allG3956 that are inG1722 themG846, heard IG191 sayingG3004, BlessingG2129, andG2532 honourG5092, andG2532 gloryG1391, andG2532 powerG2904, be unto him that sittethG2521 uponG1909 the throneG2362, andG2532 unto the LambG721 forG1519 everG165 and everG165.
AndG2532 the fourG5064 beastsG2226 saidG3004, AmenG281. AndG2532 the fourG5064 and twentyG1501 eldersG4245 fell downG4098 andG2532 worshippedG4352 him that livethG2198 forG1519 everG165 and everG165.
InG1722 the mean timeG3739, when there were gathered togetherG1996 an innumerable multitudeG3461 of peopleG3793, insomuch thatG5620 they trodeG2662 one upon anotherG240, he beganG756 to sayG3004 untoG4314 hisG846 disciplesG3101 first of allG4412, BewareG4337 yeG1438 ofG575 the leavenG2219 of the PhariseesG5330, whichG3748 isG2076 hypocrisyG5272.
ForG1161 there isG2076 nothingG3762 coveredG4780, thatG3739 shallG601 notG3756 be revealedG601; neitherG2532 hidG2927, thatG3739 shallG1097 notG3756 be knownG1097.
ThereforeG473+G3739 whatsoeverG3745 ye have spokenG2036 inG1722 darknessG4653 shall be heardG191 inG1722 the lightG5457; andG2532 that whichG3739 ye have spokenG2980 inG4314 the earG3775 inG1722 closetsG5009 shall be proclaimedG2784 uponG1909 the housetopsG1430.
AndG1161 I sayG3004 unto youG5213 myG3450 friendsG5384, BeG5399 notG3361 afraidG5399 of themG575 that killG615 the bodyG4983, andG2532 afterG3326 thatG5023 haveG2192 noG3361+G5100 moreG4055 that they can doG4160.
ButG1161 I will forewarnG5263 youG5213 whomG5101 ye shall fearG5399: FearG5399 him, which afterG3326 he hath killedG615 hathG2192 powerG1849 to castG1685 intoG1519 hellG1067; yeaG3483, I sayG3004 unto youG5213, FearG5399 himG5126.
AreG4453 notG3780 fiveG4002 sparrowsG4765 soldG4453 for twoG1417 farthingsG787, andG2532 notG3756 oneG1520 ofG1537 themG846 isG2076 forgottenG1950 beforeG1799 GodG2316?
ButG235 even the veryG2532 hairsG2359 of yourG5216 headG2776 areG705 allG3956 numberedG705. FearG5399 notG3361 thereforeG3767: ye are of more valueG1308 than manyG4183 sparrowsG4765.
AlsoG1161 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, WhosoeverG3956+G3739+G302 shall confessG3670+G1722 meG1698 beforeG1715 menG444+G1722, himG846 shallG3670 the SonG5207 of manG444 alsoG2532 confessG3670 beforeG1715 the angelsG32 of GodG2316:
ButG1161 he that deniethG720 meG3165 beforeG1799 menG444 shall be deniedG533 beforeG1799 the angelsG32 of GodG2316.
AndG2532 whosoeverG3956+G3739 shall speakG2046 a wordG3056 againstG1519 the SonG5207 of manG444, it shall be forgivenG863 himG846: butG1161 unto him that blasphemethG987 againstG1519 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 it shallG863 notG3756 be forgivenG863.
AndG1161 whenG3752 they bringG4374 youG5209 untoG1909 the synagoguesG4864, andG2532 unto magistratesG746, andG2532 powersG1849, takeG3309 ye noG3361 thoughtG3309 howG4459 orG2228 what thingG5101 ye shall answerG626, orG2228 whatG5101 ye shall sayG2036:
ForG1063 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 shall teachG1321 youG5209 inG1722 the sameG846 hourG5610 whatG3739 ye oughtG1163 to sayG2036.
AndG1161 oneG5100 ofG1537 the companyG3793 saidG2036 unto himG846, MasterG1320, speakG2036 to myG3450 brotherG80, that he divideG3307 the inheritanceG2817 withG3326 meG1700.
AndG1161 he saidG2036 unto himG846, ManG444, whoG5101 madeG2525 meG3165 a judgeG1348 orG2228 a dividerG3312 overG1909 youG5209?
AndG1161 he saidG2036 untoG4314 themG846, Take heedG3708, andG2532 bewareG5442 ofG575 covetousnessG4124: forG3754 a man'sG5100+G846 lifeG2222 consistethG2076 notG3756 inG1722 the abundanceG4052 ofG1537 the things which heG846 possessethG5224.
AndG1161 he spakeG2036 a parableG3850 untoG4314 themG846, sayingG3004, The groundG5561 of a certainG5100 richG4145 manG444 brought forth plentifullyG2164:
AndG2532 he thoughtG1260 withinG1722 himselfG1438, sayingG3004, WhatG5101 shall I doG4160, becauseG3754 I haveG2192 noG3756 room whereG4226 to bestowG4863 myG3450 fruitsG2590?
AndG2532 he saidG2036, ThisG5124 will I doG4160: I will pull downG2507 myG3450 barnsG596, andG2532 buildG3618 greaterG3187; andG2532 thereG1563 will I bestowG4863 allG3956 myG3450 fruitsG1081 andG2532 myG3450 goodsG18.
AndG2532 I will sayG2046 to myG3450 soulG5590, SoulG5590, thou hastG2192 muchG4183 goodsG18 laid upG2749 forG1519 manyG4183 yearsG2094; take thine easeG373, eatG5315, drinkG4095, and be merryG2165.
ButG1161 GodG2316 saidG2036 unto himG846, Thou foolG878, thisG5026 nightG3571 thyG4675 soulG5590 shall be requiredG523 ofG575 theeG4675: thenG1161 whoseG5101 shall those things beG2071, whichG3739 thou hast providedG2090? {thy…: Gr. do they require thy soul}
SoG3779 is he that layeth up treasureG2343 for himselfG1438, andG2532 isG4147 notG3361 richG4147 towardG1519 GodG2316.
AndG1161 he saidG2036 untoG4314 hisG846 disciplesG3101, ThereforeG1223+G5124 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, TakeG3309 noG3361 thoughtG3309 for yourG5216 lifeG5590, whatG5101 ye shall eatG5315; neitherG3366 for the bodyG4983, whatG5101 ye shall put onG1746.
The lifeG5590 isG2076 moreG4119 than meatG5160, andG2532 the bodyG4983 is more than raimentG1742.
ConsiderG2657 the ravensG2876: forG3754 they neitherG3756 sowG4687 norG3761 reapG2325; whichG3739 neitherG3756 haveG2076 storehouseG5009 norG3761 barnG596; andG2532 GodG2316 feedethG5142 themG846: how muchG4214 moreG3123 areG1308 yeG5210 better thanG1308 the fowlsG4071?
AndG1161 whichG5101 ofG1537 youG5216 with taking thoughtG3309 canG1410 addG4369 toG1909 hisG846 statureG2244 oneG1520 cubitG4083?
IfG1487 ye thenG3767 beG1410 notG3777 able to doG1410 that thing which is leastG1646, whyG5101 take ye thoughtG3309 forG4012 the restG3062?
ConsiderG2657 the liliesG2918 howG4459 they growG837: they toilG2872 notG3756, they spinG3514 notG3761; and yetG1161 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, that SolomonG4672 inG1722 allG3956 hisG846 gloryG1391 wasG4016 notG3761 arrayedG4016 likeG5613 oneG1520 of theseG5130.
IfG1487 thenG1161 GodG2316 soG3779 clotheG294 the grassG5528, whichG5607 is to dayG4594 inG1722 the fieldG68, andG2532 to morrowG839 is castG906 intoG1519 the ovenG2823; how muchG4214 moreG3123 will he clothe youG5209, O ye of little faithG3640?
AndG2532 seekG2212 notG3361 yeG5210 whatG5101 ye shall eatG5315, orG2228 whatG5101 ye shall drinkG4095+G2532, neitherG3361 be ye of doubtful mindG3349. {neither…: or, live not in careful suspense}
ForG1063 allG3956 these thingsG5023 doG1934 the nationsG1484 of the worldG2889 seek afterG1934: andG1161 yourG5216 FatherG3962 knowethG1492 thatG3754 ye have needG5535 of these thingsG5130.
But ratherG4133 seek yeG2212 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316; andG2532 allG3956 these thingsG5023 shall be addedG4369 unto youG5213.
FearG5399 notG3361, littleG3398 flockG4168; forG3754 it isG2106 yourG5216 Father'sG3962 good pleasureG2106 to giveG1325 youG5213 the kingdomG932.
SellG4453 that yeG5216 haveG5224, andG2532 giveG1325 almsG1654; provideG4160 yourselvesG1438 bagsG905 which waxG3822 notG3361 oldG3822, a treasureG2344 inG1722 the heavensG3772 that faileth notG413, whereG3699 noG3756 thiefG2812 approachethG1448, neitherG3761 mothG4597 corruptethG1311.
ForG1063 whereG3699 yourG5216 treasureG2344 isG2076, thereG1563 willG2071 yourG5216 heartG2588 beG2071 alsoG2532.
LetG2077 yourG5216 loinsG3751 beG2077 girded aboutG4024, andG2532 your lightsG3088 burningG2545;
AndG2532 ye yourselvesG5210 likeG3664 unto menG444 that waitG4327 for theirG1438 lordG2962, whenG4219 he will returnG360 fromG1537 the weddingG1062; thatG2443 when he comethG2064 andG2532 knockethG2925, they may openG455 unto himG846 immediatelyG2112.
BlessedG3107 are thoseG1565 servantsG1401, whomG3739 the lordG2962 when he comethG2064 shall findG2147 watchingG1127: verilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, thatG3754 he shall gird himselfG4024, andG2532 makeG347 themG846 to sit down to meatG347, andG2532 will come forthG3928 and serveG1247 themG846.
AndG2532 ifG1437 he shall comeG2064 inG1722 the secondG1208 watchG5438, orG2532 comeG2064 inG1722 the thirdG5154 watchG5438, andG2532 findG2147 them soG3779, blessedG3107 areG1526 thoseG1565 servantsG1401.
AndG1161 thisG5124 knowG1097, thatG3754 ifG1487 the goodman of the houseG3617 had knownG1492 whatG4169 hourG5610 the thiefG2812 would comeG2064+G302, he would have watchedG1127, andG2532+G302 notG3756 have sufferedG863 hisG846 houseG3624 to be broken throughG1358.
BeG1096 yeG5210 thereforeG3767 readyG2092 alsoG2532: forG3754+G3739 the SonG5207 of manG444 comethG2064 at an hourG5610 when ye thinkG1380 notG3756.
ThenG1161 PeterG4074 saidG2036 unto himG846, LordG2962, speakest thouG3004 thisG5026 parableG3850 untoG4314 usG2248, orG2228 evenG2532 toG4314 allG3956?
AndG1161 the LordG2962 saidG2036, WhoG5101 thenG686 isG2076 that faithfulG4103 andG2532 wiseG5429 stewardG3623, whomG3739 his lordG2962 shall make rulerG2525 overG1909 hisG846 householdG2322, to giveG1325 them their portion of meatG4620 inG1722 due seasonG2540?
BlessedG3107 is thatG1565 servantG1401, whomG3739 hisG846 lordG2962 when he comethG2064 shall findG2147 soG3779 doingG4160.
Of a truthG230 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, thatG3754 he will make himG846 rulerG2525 overG1909 allG3956 that heG846 hathG5224.
But andG1161 ifG1437 thatG1565 servantG1401 sayG2036 inG1722 hisG846 heartG2588, MyG3450 lordG2962 delayethG5549 his comingG2064; andG2532 shall beginG756 to beatG5180 the menservantsG3816 andG2532 maidensG3814, andG5037 to eatG2068 andG2532 drinkG4095, andG2532 to be drunkenG3182;
The lordG2962 of thatG1565 servantG1401 will comeG2240 inG1722 a dayG2250 whenG3739 he lookethG4328 notG3756 forG4328 him, andG2532 atG1722 an hourG5610 whenG3739 he isG1097 notG3756 awareG1097, andG2532 will cutG1371 himG846 in sunderG1371, andG2532 will appointG5087 him hisG846 portionG3313 withG3326 the unbelieversG571. {cut…: or, cut him off}
AndG1161 thatG1565 servantG1401, whichG3588 knewG1097 hisG1438 lord'sG2962 willG2307, andG2532 preparedG2090 notG3361 himself, neitherG3366 didG4160 accordingG4314 to hisG846 willG2307, shall be beatenG1194 with manyG4183 stripes.
ButG1161 he that knewG1097 notG3361, andG1161 did commitG4160 things worthyG514 of stripesG4127, shall be beatenG1194 with fewG3641 stripes. ForG1161 unto whomsoeverG3739+G3956 muchG4183 is givenG1325, ofG3844 himG846 shall be muchG4183 requiredG2212: andG2532 to whom menG3739 have committedG3908 muchG4183, of himG846 they will askG154 the moreG4055.
I am comeG2064 to sendG906 fireG4442 onG1519 the earthG1093; andG2532 whatG5101 will IG2309, ifG1487 it beG381 alreadyG2235 kindledG381?
ButG1161 I haveG2192 a baptismG908 to be baptized withG907; andG2532 howG4459 am I straitenedG4912 tillG2193+G3739 it be accomplishedG5055! {straitened: or, pained}
Suppose yeG1380 thatG3754 I am comeG3854 to giveG1325 peaceG1515 onG1722 earthG1093? I tellG3004 youG5213, NayG3780; butG235 ratherG2228 divisionG1267:
ForG1063 fromG575 henceforthG3568 there shall beG2071 fiveG4002 inG1722 oneG1520 houseG3624 dividedG1266, threeG5140 againstG1909 twoG1417, andG2532 twoG1417 againstG1909 threeG5140.
The fatherG3962 shall be dividedG1266 againstG1909 the sonG5207, andG2532 the sonG5207 againstG1909 the fatherG3962; the motherG3384 againstG1909 the daughterG2364, andG2532 the daughterG2364 againstG1909 the motherG3384; the mother in lawG3994 againstG1909 herG846 daughter in lawG3565, andG2532 the daughter in lawG3565 againstG1909 herG846 mother in lawG3994.
AndG1161 he saidG3004 alsoG2532 to the peopleG3793, WhenG3752 ye seeG1492 a cloudG3507 riseG393 out ofG575 the westG1424, straightwayG2112 ye sayG3004, There comethG2064 a showerG3655; andG2532 soG3779 it isG1096.
AndG2532 whenG3752 ye see the south windG3558 blowG4154, ye sayG3004+G3754, There will beG2071 heatG2742; andG2532 it cometh to passG1096.
Ye hypocritesG5273, ye canG1492 discernG1381 the faceG4383 of the skyG3772 andG2532 of the earthG1093; butG1161 how is itG4459 that ye do notG3756 discernG1381 thisG5126 timeG2540?
YeaG1161, and whyG5101 evenG2532 ofG575 yourselvesG1438 judge yeG2919 notG3756 what is rightG1342?
