JamesG2385, a servantG1401 of GodG2316 andG2532 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, to the twelveG1427 tribesG5443 whichG1722 are scattered abroadG1290, greetingG5463.
ParthiansG3934, andG2532 MedesG3370, andG2532 ElamitesG1639, andG2532 the dwellersG2730 in MesopotamiaG3318, andG5037 in JudaeaG2449, andG2532 CappadociaG2587, in PontusG4195, andG2532 AsiaG773,
PhrygiaG5435, andG5037+G2532 PamphyliaG3828, in EgyptG125, andG2532 in the partsG3313 of LibyaG3033 aboutG2596 CyreneG2957, andG2532 strangersG1927 of RomeG4514+G5037, JewsG2453 andG5037+G2532 proselytesG4339,
In the ninthH8671 yearH8141 of HosheaH1954 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804 tookH3920 SamariaH8111, and carriedH1540 IsraelH3478 awayH1540 into AssyriaH804, and placedH3427 them in HalahH2477 and in HaborH2249 by the riverH5104 of GozanH1470, and in the citiesH5892 of the MedesH4074.
And HezekiahH3169 sentH7971 to all IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063, and wroteH3789 lettersH107 also to EphraimH669 and ManassehH4519, that they should comeH935 to the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 at JerusalemH3389, to keepH6213 the passoverH6453 unto the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478.
For the kingH4428 had taken counselH3289, and his princesH8269, and all the congregationH6951 in JerusalemH3389, to keepH6213 the passoverH6453 in the secondH8145 monthH2320.
For they couldH3201 not keepH6213 it at that timeH6256, because the priestsH3548 had not sanctifiedH6942 themselves sufficientlyH4078+H1767, neither had the peopleH5971 gathered themselves togetherH622 to JerusalemH3389.
And the thingH1697 pleasedH3474+H5869 the kingH4428 and all the congregationH6951. {pleased…: Heb. was right in the eyes of the king}
So they establishedH5975 a decreeH1697 to make proclamationH5674+H6963 throughout all IsraelH3478, from BeershebaH884 even to DanH1835, that they should comeH935 to keepH6213 the passoverH6453 unto the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 at JerusalemH3389: for they had not doneH6213 it of a longH7230 time in such sort as it was writtenH3789.
So the postsH7323 wentH3212 with the lettersH107 fromH3027 the kingH4428 and his princesH8269 throughout all IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063, and according to the commandmentH4687 of the kingH4428, sayingH559, Ye childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, turn againH7725 unto the LORDH3068 GodH430 of AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and IsraelH3478, and he will returnH7725 to the remnantH7604 of you, that are escapedH6413 out of the handH3709 of the kingsH4428 of AssyriaH804. {from: Heb. from the hand}
And be not ye like your fathersH1, and like your brethrenH251, which trespassedH4603 against the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1, who therefore gave them upH5414 to desolationH8047, as ye seeH7200.
Now be ye not stiffneckedH7185+H6203, as your fathersH1 were, but yieldH5414 yourselvesH3027 unto the LORDH3068, and enterH935 into his sanctuaryH4720, which he hath sanctifiedH6942 for everH5769: and serveH5647 the LORDH3068 your GodH430, that the fiercenessH2740 of his wrathH639 may turn awayH7725 from you. {be ye…: Heb. harden not your necks} {yield…: Heb. give the hand}
For if ye turn againH7725 unto the LORDH3068, your brethrenH251 and your childrenH1121 shall find compassionH7356 beforeH6440 them that lead them captiveH7617, so that they shall come againH7725 into this landH776: for the LORDH3068 your GodH430 is graciousH2587 and mercifulH7349, and will not turn awayH5493 his faceH6440 from you, if ye returnH7725 unto him.
So the postsH7323 passedH5674 from cityH5892 to cityH5892 through the countryH776 of EphraimH669 and ManassehH4519 even unto ZebulunH2074: but they laughed them to scornH7832, and mockedH3932 them.
Nevertheless diversH582 of AsherH836 and ManassehH4519 and of ZebulunH2074 humbledH3665 themselves, and cameH935 to JerusalemH3389.
Also in JudahH3063 the handH3027 of GodH430 was to giveH5414 them oneH259 heartH3820 to doH6213 the commandmentH4687 of the kingH4428 and of the princesH8269, by the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068.
And there assembledH622 at JerusalemH3389 muchH7227 peopleH5971 to keepH6213 the feastH2282 of unleavened breadH4682 in the secondH8145 monthH2320, a veryH3966 greatH7230 congregationH6951.
And they aroseH6965 and took awayH5493 the altarsH4196 that were in JerusalemH3389, and all the altars for incenseH6999 took they awayH5493, and castH7993 them into the brookH5158 KidronH6939.
Then they killedH7819 the passoverH6453 on the fourteenthH702+H6240 day of the secondH8145 monthH2320: and the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881 were ashamedH3637, and sanctifiedH6942 themselves, and brought inH935 the burnt offeringsH5930 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
And they stoodH5975 in their placeH5977 after their mannerH4941, according to the lawH8451 of MosesH4872 the manH376 of GodH430: the priestsH3548 sprinkledH2236 the bloodH1818, which they received of the handH3027 of the LevitesH3881. {their place: Heb. their standing}
For there were manyH7227 in the congregationH6951 that were not sanctifiedH6942: therefore the LevitesH3881 had the charge of the killingH7821 of the passoversH6453 for every one that was not cleanH2889, to sanctifyH6942 them unto the LORDH3068.
For a multitudeH4768 of the peopleH5971, even manyH7227 of EphraimH669, and ManassehH4519, IssacharH3485, and ZebulunH2074, had notH3808 cleansedH2891 themselves, yet did they eatH398 the passoverH6453 otherwise than it was writtenH3789. But HezekiahH3169 prayedH6419 for them, sayingH559, The goodH2896 LORDH3068 pardonH3722 every one
That preparethH3559 his heartH3824 to seekH1875 GodH430, the LORDH3068 GodH430 of his fathersH1, though he be not cleansed according to the purificationH2893 of the sanctuaryH6944.
And the LORDH3068 hearkenedH8085 to HezekiahH3169, and healedH7495 the peopleH5971.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 that were presentH4672 at JerusalemH3389 keptH6213 the feastH2282 of unleavened breadH4682 sevenH7651 daysH3117 with greatH1419 gladnessH8057: and the LevitesH3881 and the priestsH3548 praisedH1984 the LORDH3068 dayH3117 by dayH3117, singing with loudH5797 instrumentsH3627 unto the LORDH3068. {present: Heb. found} {loud…: Heb. instruments of strength}
And HezekiahH3169 spakeH1696 comfortablyH3820 unto all the LevitesH3881 that taughtH7919 the goodH2896 knowledgeH7922 of the LORDH3068: and they did eatH398 throughout the feastH4150 sevenH7651 daysH3117, offeringH2076 peaceH8002 offeringsH2077, and making confessionH3034 to the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1. {comfortably…: Heb. to the heart of all}
And the whole assemblyH6951 took counselH3289 to keepH6213 otherH312 sevenH7651 daysH3117: and they keptH6213 other sevenH7651 daysH3117 with gladnessH8057.
For HezekiahH2396 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 did giveH7311 to the congregationH6951 a thousandH505 bullocksH6499 and sevenH7651 thousandH505 sheepH6629; and the princesH8269 gaveH7311 to the congregationH6951 a thousandH505 bullocksH6499 and tenH6235 thousandH505 sheepH6629: and a great numberH7230 of priestsH3548 sanctifiedH6942 themselves. {did give: Heb. lifted up, or, offered} {gave: Heb. lifted up, or, offered}
And all the congregationH6951 of JudahH3063, with the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881, and all the congregationH6951 that came outH935 of IsraelH3478, and the strangersH1616 that came outH935 of the landH776 of IsraelH3478, and that dweltH3427 in JudahH3063, rejoicedH8055.
So there was greatH1419 joyH8057 in JerusalemH3389: for since the timeH3117 of SolomonH8010 the sonH1121 of DavidH1732 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 there was not the like in JerusalemH3389.
Then the priestsH3548 the LevitesH3881 aroseH6965 and blessedH1288 the peopleH5971: and their voiceH6963 was heardH8085, and their prayerH8605 cameH935 up to his holyH6944 dwelling placeH4583, even unto heavenH8064. {his holy…: Heb. the habitation of his holiness}
AndG1161 it came to passG1096 inG1722 thoseG1565 daysG2250, that there went outG1831 a decreeG1378 fromG3844 CaesarG2541 AugustusG828, that allG3956 the worldG3625 should be taxedG583. {taxed: or, enrolled}
(And thisG3778 taxingG582 wasG1096 firstG4413 madeG1096 when CyreniusG2958 was governorG2230 of SyriaG4947.)
AndG2532 allG3956 wentG4198 to be taxedG583, every oneG1538 intoG1519 his ownG2398 cityG4172.
AndG1161 JosephG2501 alsoG2532 went upG305 fromG575 GalileeG1056, out ofG1537 the cityG4172 of NazarethG3478, intoG1519 JudaeaG2449, untoG1519 the cityG4172 of DavidG1138, whichG3748 is calledG2564 BethlehemG965; (becauseG1223 heG846 wasG1511 ofG1537 the houseG3624 andG2532 lineageG3965 of DavidG1138:)
To be taxedG583 withG4862 MaryG3137 hisG846 espousedG3423 wifeG1135, beingG5607 great with childG1471.
AndG1161 so it wasG1096, that, whileG1722 theyG846 wereG1511 thereG1563, the daysG2250 were accomplishedG4130 that sheG846 should be deliveredG5088.
AndG2532 she brought forthG5088 herG846 firstbornG4416 sonG5207, andG2532 wrappedG4683 himG846 in swaddling clothesG4683, andG2532 laidG347 himG846 inG1722 a mangerG5336; becauseG1360 there wasG2258 noG3756 roomG5117 for themG846 inG1722 the innG2646.
AndG2532 there wereG2258 inG1722 the sameG846 countryG5561 shepherdsG4166 abiding in the fieldG63+G2532, keepingG5442 watchG5438 overG1909 theirG846 flockG4167 by nightG3571. {watch: or, the night watches}
AndG2532, loG2400, the angelG32 of the LordG2962 came uponG2186 themG846, andG2532 the gloryG1391 of the LordG2962 shone round aboutG4034 themG846: andG2532 they were soreG3173 afraidG5399+G5401.
AndG2532 the angelG32 saidG2036 unto themG846, FearG5399 notG3361: forG1063, beholdG2400, I bringG2097 youG5213 good tidingsG2097 of greatG3173 joyG5479, whichG3748 shall beG2071 to allG3956 peopleG2992.
ForG3754 unto youG5213 is bornG5088 this dayG4594 inG1722 the cityG4172 of DavidG1138 a SaviourG4990, whichG3739 isG2076 ChristG5547 the LordG2962.
AndG2532 thisG5124 shall be a signG4592 unto youG5213; Ye shall findG2147 the babeG1025 wrapped in swaddling clothesG4683, lyingG2749 inG1722 a mangerG5336.
AndG2532 suddenlyG1810 there wasG1096 withG4862 the angelG32 a multitudeG4128 of the heavenlyG3770 hostG4756 praisingG134 GodG2316, andG2532 sayingG3004,
GloryG1391 to GodG2316 inG1722 the highestG5310, andG2532 onG1909 earthG1093 peaceG1515, good willG2107 towardG1722 menG444.
AndG2532 it came to passG1096, asG5613 the angelsG32 were gone awayG565 fromG575 themG846 intoG1519 heavenG3772+G2532, the shepherdsG444+G4166 saidG2036 oneG240 toG4314 anotherG240, Let usG1330 nowG1211 goG1330 even untoG2193 BethlehemG965, andG2532 seeG1492 thisG5124 thingG4487 which is come to passG1096, whichG3739+G3588 the LordG2962 hath made knownG1107 unto usG2254. {the shepherds: Gr. the men the shepherds}
AndG2532 they cameG2064 with hasteG4692, andG2532+G5037 foundG429 MaryG3137, andG2532 JosephG2501, andG2532 the babeG1025 lyingG2749 inG1722 a mangerG5336.
AndG1161 when they had seenG1492 it, they made known abroadG1232 the sayingG4012+G4487 whichG3588 was toldG2980 themG846 concerningG4012 thisG5127 childG3813.
AndG2532 allG3956 they that heardG191 it wonderedG2296 atG4012 those things whichG3588 were toldG2980 themG4314+G846 byG5259 the shepherdsG4166.
ButG1161 MaryG3137 keptG4933 allG3956 these thingsG4487+G5023, and ponderedG4820 them inG1722 herG846 heartG2588.
AndG2532 the shepherdsG4166 returnedG1994, glorifyingG1392 andG2532 praisingG134 GodG2316 forG1909 all the thingsG3956 thatG3739 they had heardG191 andG2532 seenG1492, asG2531 it was toldG2980 untoG4314 themG846.
AndG2532 whenG3753 eightG3638 daysG2250 were accomplishedG4130 for the circumcisingG4059 of the childG3813+G2532, hisG846 nameG3686 was calledG2564 JESUSG2424, whichG3588 was so namedG2564 ofG5259 the angelG32 beforeG4253 heG846 was conceivedG4815 inG1722 the wombG2836.
AndG2532 whenG3753 the daysG2250 of herG846 purificationG2512 accordingG2596 to the lawG3551 of MosesG3475 were accomplishedG4130, they broughtG321 himG846 toG1519 JerusalemG2414, to presentG3936 him to the LordG2962;
(AsG2531 it is writtenG1125 inG1722 the lawG3551 of the LordG2962+G3754, EveryG3956 maleG730 that openethG1272 the wombG3388 shall be calledG2564 holyG40 to the LordG2962;)
AndG2532 to offerG1325 a sacrificeG2378 accordingG2596 to that which is saidG2046 inG1722 the lawG3551 of the LordG2962, A pairG2201 of turtledovesG5167, orG2228 twoG1417 youngG3502 pigeonsG4058.
AndG2532, beholdG2400, there wasG2258 a manG444 inG1722 JerusalemG2419, whoseG3739 nameG3686 was SimeonG4826; andG2532 the sameG3778 manG444 was justG1342 andG2532 devoutG2126, waitingG4327 for the consolationG3874 of IsraelG2474: andG2532 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 wasG2258 uponG1909 himG846.
AndG2532 it wasG2258 revealedG5537 unto himG846 byG5259 the HolyG40 GhostG4151, that he shouldG1492 notG3361 seeG1492 deathG2288, beforeG4250+G2228 he had seenG1492 the Lord'sG2962 ChristG5547.
AndG2532 he cameG2064 byG1722 the SpiritG4151 intoG1519 the templeG2411: andG2532 when the parentsG1118 broughtG1521 inG1722 the childG3813 JesusG2424, to doG4160+G846 forG4012 himG846 afterG2596 the customG1480 of the lawG3551,
ThenG2532 tookG1209 heG846 himG846 upG1209 inG1519 hisG846 armsG43, andG2532 blessedG2127 GodG2316, andG2532 saidG2036,
LordG1203, nowG3568 lettest thouG630 thyG4675 servantG1401 departG630 inG1722 peaceG1515, accordingG2596 to thyG4675 wordG4487:
ForG3754 mineG3450 eyesG3788 have seenG1492 thyG4675 salvationG4992,
WhichG3739 thou hast preparedG2090 beforeG2596 the faceG4383 of allG3956 peopleG2992;
A lightG5457 toG1519 lightenG602 the GentilesG1484, andG2532 the gloryG1391 of thyG4675 peopleG2992 IsraelG2474.
AndG2532 JosephG2501 andG2532 hisG846 motherG3384 marvelledG2258+G2296 atG1909 those things which were spokenG2980 ofG4012 himG846.
AndG2532 SimeonG4826 blessedG2127 themG846, andG2532 saidG2036 untoG4314 MaryG3137 hisG846 motherG3384, BeholdG2400, thisG3778 child is setG2749 forG1519 the fallG4431 andG2532 rising againG386 of manyG4183 inG1722 IsraelG2474; andG2532 forG1519 a signG4592 which shall be spoken againstG483;
(YeaG1161, a swordG4501 shall pierce throughG1330 thyG4675 ownG846 soulG5590 alsoG2532,) thatG3704 the thoughtsG1261 ofG1537 manyG4183 heartsG2588+G302 may be revealedG601.
AndG2532 there wasG2258 one AnnaG451, a prophetessG4398, the daughterG2364 of PhanuelG5323, ofG1537 the tribeG5443 of AserG768: sheG3778+G846 was of a greatG4183+G1722 ageG2250+G4260, and had livedG2198 withG3326 an husbandG435 sevenG2033 yearsG2094 fromG575 herG846 virginityG3932;
AndG2532 sheG3778 was a widowG5503 of aboutG5613 fourscoreG3589 and fourG5064 yearsG2094, whichG3739 departedG868 notG3756 fromG575 the templeG2411, but servedG3000 God with fastingsG3521 andG2532 prayersG1162 nightG3571 andG2532 dayG2250.
AndG2532 sheG3778+G846 coming inG2186 thatG846 instantG5610 gave thanks likewiseG437 unto the LordG2962, andG2532 spakeG2980 ofG4012 himG846 to allG3956 them that lookedG4327 for redemptionG3085 inG1722 JerusalemG2419. {Jerusalem: or, Israel}
AndG2532 whenG5613 they had performedG5055 all thingsG537 accordingG2596 to the lawG3551 of the LordG2962, they returnedG5290 intoG1519 GalileeG1056, toG1519 their ownG846 cityG4172 NazarethG3478.
AndG1161 the childG3813 grewG837, andG2532 waxed strongG2901 in spiritG4151, filledG4137 with wisdomG4678: andG2532 the graceG5485 of GodG2316 wasG2258 uponG1909 himG846.
NowG2532 hisG846 parentsG1118 wentG4198 toG1519 JerusalemG2419 everyG2596 yearG2094 at the feastG1859 of the passoverG3957.
AndG2532 whenG3753 he wasG1096 twelveG1427 years oldG2094, theyG846 went upG305 toG1519 JerusalemG2414 afterG2596 the customG1485 of the feastG1859.
AndG2532 when they had fulfilledG5048 the daysG2250, asG1722 theyG846 returnedG5290, the childG3816 JesusG2424 tarried behindG5278 inG1722 JerusalemG2419; andG2532 JosephG2501 andG2532 hisG846 motherG3384 knewG1097 notG3756 of it.
ButG1161 they, supposingG3543 himG846 to have beenG1511 inG1722 the companyG4923, wentG2064 a day'sG2250 journeyG3598; andG2532 they soughtG327 himG846 amongG1722 their kinsfolkG4773 andG2532+G1722 acquaintanceG1110.
AndG2532 when they foundG2147 himG846 notG3361, they turned back againG5290 toG1519 JerusalemG2419, seekingG2212 himG846.
AndG2532 it came to passG1096, that afterG3326 threeG5140 daysG2250 they foundG2147 himG846 inG1722 the templeG2411, sittingG2516 inG1722 the midstG3319 of the doctorsG1320, bothG2532 hearingG191 themG846, andG2532 askingG1905 themG846 questionsG1905.
AndG1161 allG3956 that heardG191 himG846 were astonishedG1839 atG1909 hisG846 understandingG4907 andG2532 answersG612.
AndG2532 when they sawG1492 himG846, they were amazedG1605: andG2532 hisG846 motherG3384 saidG2036 untoG4314 himG846, SonG5043, whyG5101 hast thouG4160 thusG3779 dealtG4160 with usG2254? beholdG2400, thyG4675 fatherG3962 and IG2504 have soughtG2212 theeG4571 sorrowingG3600.
AndG2532 he saidG2036 untoG4314 themG846, HowG5101 is it thatG3754 ye soughtG2212 meG3165? wist yeG1492 notG3756 thatG3754 IG3165 mustG1163 beG1511 aboutG1722 myG3450 Father's businessG3962?
AndG2532 theyG846 understoodG4920 notG3756 the sayingG4487 whichG3739 he spakeG2980 unto themG846.
AndG2532 he went downG2597 withG3326 themG846, andG2532 cameG2064 toG1519 NazarethG3478, andG2532 wasG2258 subjectG5293 unto themG846: butG2532 hisG846 motherG3384 keptG1301 allG3956 theseG5023 sayingsG4487 inG1722 herG846 heartG2588.
AndG2532 JesusG2424 increasedG4298 in wisdomG4678 andG2532 statureG2244, andG2532 in favourG5485 withG3844 GodG2316 andG2532 manG444. {stature: or, age}
UntoG1519 whichG3739 promise ourG2257 twelve tribesG1429, instantlyG1722+G1616 servingG3000 God dayG2250 andG2532 nightG3571, hopeG1679 to comeG2658. ForG4012 whichG3739 hope's sakeG1680, kingG935 AgrippaG67, I am accusedG1458 ofG5259 the JewsG2453. {day and night: Gr. night and day}
AndG1161 JesusG2424 saidG2036 unto themG846, VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, ThatG3754 yeG5210 whichG3588 have followedG190 meG3427, inG1722 the regenerationG3824 whenG3752 the SonG5207 of manG444 shall sitG2523 inG1909 the throneG2362 of hisG846 gloryG1391, yeG5210 alsoG2532 shall sitG2523 uponG1909 twelveG1427 thronesG2362, judgingG2919 the twelveG1427 tribesG5443 of IsraelG2474.
ThatG2443 ye may eatG2068 andG2532 drinkG4095 atG1909 myG3450 tableG5132 inG1722 myG3450 kingdomG932, andG2532 sitG2523 onG1909 thronesG2362 judgingG2919 the twelveG1427 tribesG5443 of IsraelG2474.
AndG5037 hadG2192 a wallG5038 greatG3173 andG2532 highG5308, and hadG2192 twelveG1427 gatesG4440, andG2532 atG1909 the gatesG4440 twelveG1427 angelsG32, andG2532 namesG3686 written thereonG1924, whichG3739 areG2076 the names of the twelveG1427 tribesG5443 of the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474:
AndG2532 he gaveG1325 himG846 the covenantG1242 of circumcisionG4061: andG2532 soG3779 Abraham begatG1080 IsaacG2464, andG2532 circumcisedG4059 himG846 the eighthG3590 dayG2250; andG2532 IsaacG2464 begat JacobG2384; andG2532 JacobG2384 begat the twelveG1427 patriarchsG3966.
ForG1063 I wouldG2309 notG3756, brethrenG80, that yeG5209 should be ignorantG50 of thisG5124 mysteryG3466, lestG3363 ye should beG5600 wiseG5429 inG3844 your own conceitsG1438; thatG3754 blindnessG4457 inG575 partG3313 is happenedG1096 to IsraelG2474, untilG891+G3739 the fulnessG4138 of the GentilesG1484 be come inG1525. {blindness: or, hardness}
AndG2532 soG3779 allG3956 IsraelG2474 shall be savedG4982: asG2531 it is writtenG1125, There shall comeG2240 out ofG1537 SionG4622 the DelivererG4506, andG2532 shall turn awayG654 ungodlinessG763 fromG575 JacobG2384:
ThereforeG3767 letG1097 allG3956 the houseG3624 of IsraelG2474 knowG1097 assuredlyG806, thatG3754 GodG2316 hath madeG4160 that sameG5126 JesusG2424, whomG3739 yeG5210 have crucifiedG4717, bothG2532 LordG2962 andG2532 ChristG5547.
And it came to pass, when RehoboamH7346 had establishedH3559 the kingdomH4438, and had strengthenedH2393 himself, he forsookH5800 the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068, and all IsraelH3478 with him.
And saidH559 unto the LevitesH3881 that taughtH995+H4000 all IsraelH3478, which were holyH6918 unto the LORDH3068, PutH5414 the holyH6944 arkH727 in the houseH1004 which SolomonH8010 the sonH1121 of DavidH1732 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 did buildH1129; it shall not be a burdenH4853 upon your shouldersH3802: serveH5647 now the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and his peopleH5971 IsraelH3478,
WhenG1161 HerodG2264 the kingG935 had heardG191 these things, he was troubledG5015, andG2532 allG3956 JerusalemG2414 withG3326 himG846.
The burdenH4853 of the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 in the landH776 of HadrachH2317, and DamascusH1834 shall be the restH4496 thereof: when the eyesH5869 of manH120, as of all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, shall be toward the LORDH3068.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; ThisH1454 shall be the borderH1366, whereby ye shall inheritH5157 the landH776 according to the twelveH8147+H6240 tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478: JosephH3130 shall have two portionsH2256.
Then rose upH6965 the chiefH7218 of the fathersH1 of JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144, and the priestsH3548, and the LevitesH3881, with all them whose spiritH7307 GodH430 had raisedH5782, to go upH5927 to buildH1129 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 which is in JerusalemH3389.
Now when the adversariesH6862 of JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144 heardH8085 that the childrenH1121 of the captivityH1473 buildedH1129 the templeH1964 unto the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478; {the children…: Heb. the sons of the transportation}
Also the childrenH1121 of those that had been carried awayH1473, which were come outH935 of the captivityH7628, offeredH7126 burnt offeringsH5930 unto the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, twelveH8147+H6240 bullocksH6499 for all IsraelH3478, ninetyH8673 and sixH8337 ramsH352, seventyH7657 and sevenH7651 lambsH3532, twelveH8147+H6240 he goatsH6842 for a sin offeringH2403: all this was a burnt offeringH5930 unto the LORDH3068.
ForG1063 the giftsG5486 andG2532 callingG2821 of GodG2316 are without repentanceG278.
NeitherG1161+G3756 pray IG2065 forG4012 theseG5130 aloneG3440, butG235 forG4012 them alsoG2532 which shall believeG4100 onG1519 meG1691 throughG1223 theirG846 wordG3056;
ThatG2443 they allG3956 may beG5600 oneG1520; asG2531 thouG4771, FatherG3962, art inG1722 meG1698, and IG2504 inG1722 theeG4671, thatG2443 theyG846 alsoG2532 may beG5600 oneG1520 inG1722 usG2254: thatG2443 the worldG2889 may believeG4100 thatG3754 thouG4771 hast sentG649 meG3165.
FatherG3962, I willG2309 thatG2443 they alsoG2548, whomG3739 thou hast givenG1325 meG3427, beG5600 withG3326 meG1700 whereG3699 IG1473 amG1510; thatG2443 they may beholdG2334 myG1699 gloryG1391, whichG3739 thou hast givenG1325 meG3427: forG3754 thou lovedstG25 meG3165 beforeG4253 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889.
And AhabH256 toldH5046 JezebelH348 all that ElijahH452 had doneH6213, and withal how he had slainH2026 all the prophetsH5030 with the swordH2719.
Then JezebelH348 sentH7971 a messengerH4397 unto ElijahH452, sayingH559, So let the godsH430 doH6213 to me, and moreH3254 also, if I makeH7760 not thy lifeH5315 as the lifeH5315 of oneH259 of them by to morrowH4279 about this timeH6256.
And when he sawH7200 that, he aroseH6965, and wentH3212 for his lifeH5315, and cameH935 to BeershebaH884, which belongeth to JudahH3063, and leftH3240 his servantH5288 there.
But he himself wentH1980 a day'sH3117 journeyH1870 into the wildernessH4057, and cameH935 and sat downH3427 under aH259 juniper treeH7574: and he requestedH7592 for himselfH5315 that he might dieH4191; and saidH559, It is enoughH7227; now, O LORDH3068, take awayH3947 my lifeH5315; for I am not betterH2896 than my fathersH1. {for himself: Heb. for his life}
And as he layH7901 and sleptH3462 under aH259 juniper treeH7574, behold, then an angelH4397 touchedH5060 him, and saidH559 unto him, AriseH6965 and eatH398.
And he lookedH5027, and, behold, there was a cakeH5692 baken on the coalsH7529, and a cruseH6835 of waterH4325 at his headH4763. And he did eatH398 and drinkH8354, and laid him downH7901 againH7725. {head: Heb. bolster}
And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 came againH7725 the second timeH8145, and touchedH5060 him, and saidH559, AriseH6965 and eatH398; because the journeyH1870 is too greatH7227 for thee.
And he aroseH6965, and did eatH398 and drinkH8354, and wentH3212 in the strengthH3581 of that meatH396 fortyH705 daysH3117 and fortyH705 nightsH3915 unto HorebH2722 the mountH2022 of GodH430.
And he cameH935 thither unto a caveH4631, and lodgedH3885 there; and, behold, the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to him, and he saidH559 unto him, What doest thou here, ElijahH452?
And he saidH559, I have been veryH7065 jealousH7065 for the LORDH3068 GodH430 of hostsH6635: for the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 have forsakenH5800 thy covenantH1285, thrown downH2040 thine altarsH4196, and slainH2026 thy prophetsH5030 with the swordH2719; and I, even I only, am leftH3498; and they seekH1245 my lifeH5315, to take it awayH3947.
And he saidH559, Go forthH3318, and standH5975 upon the mountH2022 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068. And, behold, the LORDH3068 passed byH5674, and a greatH1419 and strongH2389 windH7307 rentH6561 the mountainsH2022, and brake in piecesH7665 the rocksH5553 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068; but the LORDH3068 was not in the windH7307: and afterH310 the windH7307 an earthquakeH7494; but the LORDH3068 was not in the earthquakeH7494:
And afterH310 the earthquakeH7494 a fireH784; but the LORDH3068 was not in the fireH784: and afterH310 the fireH784 a stillH1827 smallH1851 voiceH6963.
And it was so, when ElijahH452 heardH8085 it, that he wrappedH3874 his faceH6440 in his mantleH155, and went outH3318, and stoodH5975 in the entering inH6607 of the caveH4631. And, behold, there came a voiceH6963 unto him, and saidH559, What doest thou here, ElijahH452?
And he saidH559, I have been veryH7065 jealousH7065 for the LORDH3068 GodH430 of hostsH6635: because the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 have forsakenH5800 thy covenantH1285, thrown downH2040 thine altarsH4196, and slainH2026 thy prophetsH5030 with the swordH2719; and I, even I only, am leftH3498; and they seekH1245 my lifeH5315, to take it awayH3947.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto him, GoH3212, returnH7725 on thy wayH1870 to the wildernessH4057 of DamascusH1834: and when thou comestH935, anointH4886 HazaelH2371 to be kingH4428 over SyriaH758:
And JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of NimshiH5250 shalt thou anointH4886 to be kingH4428 over IsraelH3478: and ElishaH477 the sonH1121 of ShaphatH8202 of AbelmeholahH65 shalt thou anointH4886 to be prophetH5030 in thy room. {Elisha: Gr. Eliseus}
And it shall come to pass, that him that escapethH4422 the swordH2719 of HazaelH2371 shall JehuH3058 slayH4191: and him that escapethH4422 from the swordH2719 of JehuH3058 shall ElishaH477 slayH4191.
Yet I have leftH7604 me sevenH7651 thousandH505 in IsraelH3478, all the kneesH1290 which have not bowedH3766 unto BaalH1168, and every mouthH6310 which hath not kissedH5401 him. {I have…: or, I will leave}
So he departedH3212 thence, and foundH4672 ElishaH477 the sonH1121 of ShaphatH8202, who was plowingH2790 with twelveH8147+H6240 yokeH6776 of oxen beforeH6440 him, and he with the twelfthH8147+H6240: and ElijahH452 passedH5674 by him, and castH7993 his mantleH155 upon him.
And he leftH5800 the oxenH1241, and ranH7323 afterH310 ElijahH452, and saidH559, Let me, I pray thee, kissH5401 my fatherH1 and my motherH517, and then I will followH3212+H310 thee. And he saidH559 unto him, Go backH3212 againH7725: for what have I doneH6213 to thee? {Go…: Heb. Go return}
And he returned backH7725 from himH310, and tookH3947 a yokeH6776 of oxenH1241, and slewH2076 them, and boiledH1310 their fleshH1320 with the instrumentsH3627 of the oxenH1241, and gaveH5414 unto the peopleH5971, and they did eatH398. Then he aroseH6965, and wentH3212 afterH310 ElijahH452, and ministeredH8334 unto him.
EliasG2243 wasG2258 a manG444 subject to like passions asG3663 we areG2254, andG2532 he prayedG4336 earnestlyG4335 that it mightG1026 notG3361 rainG1026: andG2532 it rainedG1026 notG3756 onG1909 the earthG1093 by the space of threeG5140 yearsG1763 andG2532 sixG1803 monthsG3376. {subject…: of the same nature, that is, a fellow mortal} {earnestly: or, in his prayer}
AndG2532 he prayedG4336 againG3825, andG2532 the heavenG3772 gaveG1325 rainG5205, andG2532 the earthG1093 brought forthG985 herG846 fruitG2590.
NowG1161 the GodG2316 of hopeG1680 fillG4137 youG5209 with allG3956 joyG5479 andG2532 peaceG1515 inG1722 believingG4100, thatG1519 yeG5209 may aboundG4052 inG1722 hopeG1680, throughG1722 the powerG1411 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151.
