Versliste
This is the wordH1697 that came unto JeremiahH3414 from the LORDH3068, afterH310 that the kingH4428 ZedekiahH6667 had madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with all the peopleH5971 which were at JerusalemH3389, to proclaimH7121 libertyH1865 unto them;
That every manH376 should let his manservantH5650, and every manH376 his maidservantH8198, being an HebrewH5680 or an HebrewessH5680, goH7971 freeH2670; that none should serveH5647 himself of them, to wit, of a JewH3064 his brotherH251.
Now when all the princesH8269, and all the peopleH5971, which had enteredH935 into the covenantH1285, heardH8085 that every oneH376 should let his manservantH5650, and every oneH376 his maidservantH8198, goH7971 freeH2670, that none should serveH5647 themselves of them any more, then they obeyedH8085, and let them goH7971.
But afterwardH310 they turnedH7725, and caused the servantsH5650 and the handmaidsH8198, whom they had let goH7971 freeH2670, to returnH7725, and brought them into subjectionH3533+H3533 for servantsH5650 and for handmaidsH8198.
Now these are the judgmentsH4941 which thou shalt setH7760 beforeH6440 them.
If thou buyH7069 an HebrewH5680 servantH5650, sixH8337 yearsH8141 he shall serveH5647: and in the seventhH7637 he shall go outH3318 freeH2670 for nothingH2600.
If he came inH935 by himselfH1610, he shall go outH3318 by himselfH1610: if he were marriedH1167+H802, then his wifeH802 shall go outH3318 with him. {by himself: Heb. with his body}
If his masterH113 have givenH5414 him a wifeH802, and she have bornH3205 him sonsH1121 or daughtersH1323; the wifeH802 and her childrenH3206 shall be her master'sH113, and he shall go outH3318 by himselfH1610.
And if the servantH5650 shall plainlyH559 sayH559, I loveH157 my masterH113, my wifeH802, and my childrenH1121; I will not go outH3318 freeH2670: {shall…: Heb. saying shall say}
Then his masterH113 shall bringH5066 him unto the judgesH430; he shall also bringH5066 him to the doorH1817, or unto the door postH4201; and his masterH113 shall boreH7527 his earH241 through with an aulH4836; and he shall serveH5647 him for everH5769.
And if a manH376 sellH4376 his daughterH1323 to be a maidservantH519, she shall not go outH3318 as the menservantsH5650 doH3318.
If she pleaseH7451+H5869 not her masterH113, who hath betrothedH3259 her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemedH6299: to sellH4376 her unto a strangeH5237 nationH5971 he shall have no powerH4910, seeing he hath dealt deceitfullyH898 with her. {please…: Heb. be evil in the eyes of, etc}
And if he have betrothedH3259 her unto his sonH1121, he shall dealH6213 with her after the mannerH4941 of daughtersH1323.
If he takeH3947 him anotherH312 wife; her foodH7607, her raimentH3682, and her duty of marriageH5772, shall he not diminishH1639.
And if he doH6213 not these threeH7969 unto her, then shall she go outH3318 freeH2600 without moneyH3701.
And if thy brotherH251 that dwelleth by thee be waxen poorH4134, and be soldH4376 unto thee; thou shalt not compelH5647 him to serveH5656 as a bondservantH5650: {compel…: Heb. serve thyself with him with the service, etc}
But as an hired servantH7916, and as a sojournerH8453, he shall be with thee, and shall serveH5647 thee unto the yearH8141 of jubileH3104:
And then shall he departH3318 from thee, both he and his childrenH1121 with him, and shall returnH7725 unto his own familyH4940, and unto the possessionH272 of his fathersH1 shall he returnH7725.
For they are my servantsH5650, which I brought forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714: they shall not be soldH4376 asH4466 bondmenH5650. {as…: Heb. with the sale of a bondman}
Thou shalt not ruleH7287 over him with rigourH6531; but shalt fearH3372 thy GodH430.
Both thy bondmenH5650, and thy bondmaidsH519, which thou shalt have, shall be of the heathenH1471 that are round aboutH5439 you; of them shall ye buyH7069 bondmenH5650 and bondmaidsH519.
Moreover of the childrenH1121 of the strangersH8453 that do sojournH1481 among you, of them shall ye buyH7069, and of their familiesH4940 that are with you, which they begatH3205 in your landH776: and they shall be your possessionH272.
And ye shall take them as an inheritanceH5157 for your childrenH1121 afterH310 you, to inheritH3423 them for a possessionH272; they shall be your bondmenH5647 for everH5769: but over your brethrenH251 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, ye shall not ruleH7287 oneH376 over anotherH251 with rigourH6531. {they…: Heb. ye shall serve yourselves with them}
And if a sojournerH1616 or strangerH8453 wax richH5381 by theeH3027, and thy brotherH251 that dwelleth by him wax poorH4134, and sellH4376 himself unto the strangerH1616 or sojournerH8453 by thee, or to the stockH6133 of the stranger'sH1616 familyH4940: {wax rich…: Heb. his hand obtain, etc}
AfterH310 that he is soldH4376 he may be redeemed againH1353; oneH259 of his brethrenH251 may redeemH1350 him:
Either his uncleH1730, or his uncle'sH1730 sonH1121, may redeemH1350 him, or any that is nighH7607 of kinH1320 unto him of his familyH4940 may redeemH1350 him; or if he be ableH5381, he may redeemH1350 himselfH3027.
And he shall reckonH2803 with him that boughtH7069 him from the yearH8141 that he was soldH4376 to him unto the yearH8141 of jubileH3104: and the priceH3701 of his saleH4465 shall be according unto the numberH4557 of yearsH8141, according to the timeH3117 of an hired servantH7916 shall it be with him.
If there be yet manyH7227 yearsH8141 behind, accordingH6310 unto them he shall give againH7725 the price of his redemptionH1353 out of the moneyH3701 that he was boughtH4736 for.
And if there remainH7604 but fewH4592 yearsH8141 unto the yearH8141 of jubileH3104, then he shall countH2803 with him, and accordingH6310 unto his yearsH8141 shall he give him againH7725 the price of his redemptionH1353.
And as a yearlyH8141+H8141 hired servantH7916 shall he be with him: and the other shall not ruleH7287 with rigourH6531 over him in thy sightH5869.
And if he be not redeemedH1350 in these years, then he shall go outH3318 in the yearH8141 of jubileH3104, both he, and his childrenH1121 with him. {in these…: or, by these means}
For unto me the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 are servantsH5650; they are my servantsH5650 whom I brought forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714: I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430.
And if thy brotherH251, an Hebrew manH5680, or an Hebrew womanH5680, be soldH4376 unto thee, and serveH5647 thee sixH8337 yearsH8141; then in the seventhH7637 yearH8141 thou shalt let him goH7971 freeH2670 from thee.
And when thou sendestH7971 him out freeH2670 from thee, thou shalt not let him go awayH7971 emptyH7387:
Thou shalt furnishH6059 him liberallyH6059 out of thy flockH6629, and out of thy floorH1637, and out of thy winepressH3342: of that wherewith the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath blessedH1288 thee thou shalt giveH5414 unto him.
And thou shalt rememberH2142 that thou wast a bondmanH5650 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 redeemedH6299 thee: therefore I commandH6680 thee this thingH1697 to dayH3117.
And it shall be, if he sayH559 unto thee, I will not go awayH3318 from thee; because he lovethH157 thee and thine houseH1004, because he is wellH2895 with thee;
Then thou shalt takeH3947 an aulH4836, and thrustH5414 it through his earH241 unto the doorH1817, and he shall be thy servantH5650 for everH5769. And also unto thy maidservantH519 thou shalt doH6213 likewise.
It shall not seem hardH7185 unto theeH5869, when thou sendest him awayH7971 freeH2670 from thee; for he hath been worthH7939 a doubleH4932 hired servantH7916 to thee, in servingH5647 thee sixH8337 yearsH8141: and the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 shall blessH1288 thee in all that thou doestH6213.
Moreover the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SayH559 now to the rebelliousH4805 houseH1004, KnowH3045 ye not what these things mean? tellH559 them, Behold, the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 is comeH935 to JerusalemH3389, and hath takenH3947 the kingH4428 thereof, and the princesH8269 thereof, and ledH935 them with him to BabylonH894;
And hath takenH3947 of the king'sH4410 seedH2233, and madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with him, and hath takenH935 an oathH423 of him: he hath also takenH3947 the mightyH352 of the landH776: {taken an…: Heb. brought him to an oath}
That the kingdomH4467 might be baseH8217, that it might not lift itself upH5375, but that by keepingH8104 of his covenantH1285 it might standH5975. {but…: Heb. to keep his covenant, to stand to it}
But he rebelledH4775 against him in sendingH7971 his ambassadorsH4397 into EgyptH4714, that they might giveH5414 him horsesH5483 and muchH7227 peopleH5971. Shall he prosperH6743? shall he escapeH4422 that doethH6213 such things? or shall he breakH6565 the covenantH1285, and be deliveredH4422?
As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, surely in the placeH4725 where the kingH4428 dwelleth that made him kingH4427, whose oathH423 he despisedH959, and whose covenantH1285 he brakeH6565, even with him in the midstH8432 of BabylonH894 he shall dieH4191.
Neither shall PharaohH6547 with his mightyH1419 armyH2428 and greatH7227 companyH6951 makeH6213 for him in the warH4421, by casting upH8210 mountsH5550, and buildingH1129 fortsH1785, to cut offH3772 manyH7227 personsH5315:
Seeing he despisedH959 the oathH423 by breakingH6565 the covenantH1285, when, lo, he had givenH5414 his handH3027, and hath doneH6213 all these things, he shall not escapeH4422.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; As I liveH2416, surely mine oathH423 that he hath despisedH959, and my covenantH1285 that he hath brokenH6331, even it will I recompenseH5414 upon his own headH7218.
And I will spreadH6566 my netH7568 upon him, and he shall be takenH8610 in my snareH4686, and I will bringH935 him to BabylonH894, and will pleadH8199 with him there for his trespassH4603 that he hath trespassedH4604 against me.
And all his fugitivesH4015 with all his bandsH102 shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719, and they that remainH7604 shall be scatteredH6566 toward all windsH7307: and ye shall knowH3045 that I the LORDH3068 have spokenH1696 it.
For a dreamH2472 comethH935 through the multitudeH7230 of businessH6045; and a fool'sH3684 voiceH6963 is known by multitudeH7230 of wordsH1697.
O EphraimH669, what shall I doH6213 unto thee? O JudahH3063, what shall I doH6213 unto thee? for your goodnessH2617 is as a morningH1242 cloudH6051, and as the earlyH7925 dewH2919 it goeth awayH1980. {goodness: or, mercy, or, kindness}
Then Pharaoh'sH6547 armyH2428 was come forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714: and when the ChaldeansH3778 that besiegedH6696 JerusalemH3389 heardH8085 tidingsH8088 of them, they departedH5927 from JerusalemH3389.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; Thus shall ye sayH559 to the kingH4428 of JudahH3063, that sentH7971 you unto me to enquireH1875 of me; Behold, Pharaoh'sH6547 armyH2428, which is come forthH3318 to helpH5833 you, shall returnH7725 to EgyptH4714 into their own landH776.
And the ChaldeansH3778 shall come againH7725, and fightH3898 against this cityH5892, and takeH3920 it, and burnH8313 it with fireH784.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; DeceiveH5377 not yourselvesH5315, sayingH559, The ChaldeansH3778 shall surelyH1980 departH3212 from us: for they shall not departH3212. {yourselves: Heb. your souls}
For though ye had smittenH5221 the whole armyH2428 of the ChaldeansH3778 that fightH3898 against you, and there remainedH7604 but woundedH1856 menH582 among them, yet should they rise upH6965 every manH376 in his tentH168, and burnH8313 this cityH5892 with fireH784. {wounded: Heb. thrust through}
