NowG1161 inG1722 the fifteenthG4003 yearG2094 of the reignG2231 of TiberiusG5086 CaesarG2541, PontiusG4194 PilateG4091 being governorG2230 of JudaeaG2449, andG2532 HerodG2264 being tetrarchG5075 of GalileeG1056, andG1161 hisG846 brotherG80 PhilipG5376 tetrarchG5075 of IturaeaG2484 andG2532 of the regionG5561 of TrachonitisG5139, andG2532 LysaniasG3078 the tetrarchG5075 of AbileneG9, {tetrarch: or, governor of four provinces}
AnnasG452 andG2532 CaiaphasG2533 beingG1909 the high priestsG749, the wordG4487 of GodG2316 cameG1096 untoG1909 JohnG2491 the sonG5207 of ZachariasG2197 inG1722 the wildernessG2048.
AndG2532 he cameG2064 intoG1519 allG3956 the country aboutG4066 JordanG2446, preachingG2784 the baptismG908 of repentanceG3341 forG1519 the remissionG859 of sinsG266;
AsG5613 it is writtenG1125 inG1722 the bookG976 of the wordsG3056 of EsaiasG2268 the prophetG4396, sayingG3004, The voiceG5456 of one cryingG994 inG1722 the wildernessG2048, Prepare yeG2090 the wayG3598 of the LordG2962, makeG4160 hisG846 pathsG5147 straightG2117.
EveryG3956 valleyG5327 shall beG2071 filledG4137, andG2532 everyG3956 mountainG3735 andG2532 hillG1015 shall be brought lowG5013; andG2532 the crookedG4646 shall be madeG1519 straightG2117, andG2532 the roughG5138 waysG3598 shall be madeG1519 smoothG3006;
AndG2532 allG3956 fleshG4561 shall seeG3700 the salvationG4992 of GodG2316.
ThenG3767 saidG3004 he to the multitudeG3793 that came forthG1607 to be baptizedG907 ofG5259 himG846, O generationG1081 of vipersG2191, whoG5101 hath warnedG5263 youG5213 to fleeG5343 fromG575 the wrathG3709 to comeG3195?
Bring forthG4160 thereforeG3767 fruitsG2590 worthyG514 of repentanceG3341, andG2532 beginG756 notG3361 to sayG3004 withinG1722 yourselvesG1438, We haveG2192 AbrahamG11 to our fatherG3962: forG1063 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, ThatG3754 GodG2316 is ableG1410 ofG1537 theseG5130 stonesG3037 to raise upG1453 childrenG5043 unto AbrahamG11. {worthy of: or, meet for}
AndG1161 nowG2235 alsoG2532 the axeG513 is laidG2749 untoG4314 the rootG4491 of the treesG1186: everyG3956 treeG1186 thereforeG3767 which bringethG4160 notG3361 forthG4160 goodG2570 fruitG2590 is hewn downG1581, andG2532 castG906 intoG1519 the fireG4442.
AndG2532 the peopleG3793 askedG1905 himG846, sayingG3004, WhatG5101 shall we doG4160 thenG3767?
He answerethG611 andG1161 saithG3004 unto themG846, He that hathG2192 twoG1417 coatsG5509, let him impartG3330 to him that hathG2192 noneG3361; andG2532 he that hathG2192 meatG1033, let him doG4160 likewiseG3668.
ThenG1161 cameG2064 alsoG2532 publicansG5057 to be baptizedG907, andG2532 saidG2036 untoG4314 himG846, MasterG1320, whatG5101 shall we doG4160?
AndG1161 he saidG2036 untoG4314 themG846, ExactG4238 noG3367 moreG4119 thanG3844 that which is appointedG1299 youG5213.
AndG1161 the soldiersG4754 likewiseG2532 demandedG1905 of himG846, sayingG3004, AndG2532 whatG5101 shall weG2249 doG4160? AndG2532 he saidG2036 untoG4314 themG846, Do violenceG1286 to no manG3367, neitherG3366 accuse any falselyG4811; andG2532 be contentG714 with yourG5216 wagesG3800. {Do violence…: or, Put no man in fear} {wages: or, allowance}
AndG1161 as the peopleG2992 were in expectationG4328, andG2532 all menG3956 musedG1260 inG1722 theirG846 heartsG2588 ofG4012 JohnG2491, whetherG3379 heG846 wereG1498 the ChristG5547, or notG3379; {in expectation: or, in suspense} {mused: or, reasoned, or, debated}
JohnG2491 answeredG611, sayingG3004 unto them allG537, IG1473 indeedG3303 baptizeG907 youG5209 with waterG5204; butG1161 one mightier thanG2478 IG3450 comethG2064, the latchetG2438 of whoseG3739+G846 shoesG5266 I amG1510 notG3756 worthyG2425 to unlooseG3089: heG846 shall baptizeG907 youG5209 withG1722 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 andG2532 with fireG4442:
WhoseG3739 fanG4425 is inG1722 hisG846 handG5495, andG2532 he will throughly purgeG1245 hisG846 floorG257, andG2532 will gatherG4863 the wheatG4621 intoG1519 hisG846 garnerG596; butG1161 the chaffG892 he will burnG2618 with fireG4442 unquenchableG762.
AndG2532+G3767 manyG4183 otherG2087 thingsG4183+G3303 in his exhortationG3870 preachedG2097 he unto the peopleG2992.
ButG1161 HerodG2264 the tetrarchG5076, being reprovedG1651 byG5259 himG846 forG4012 HerodiasG2266 hisG846 brotherG80 Philip'sG5376 wifeG1135, andG2532 forG4012 allG3956 the evilsG4190 whichG3739 HerodG2264 had doneG4160,
AddedG4369 yetG2532 thisG5124 aboveG1909 allG3956, thatG2532 he shut upG2623 JohnG2491 inG1722 prisonG5438.
NowG1161 when allG537 the peopleG2992 were baptizedG1722+G907, it came to passG1096, that JesusG2424 alsoG2532 being baptizedG907, andG2532 prayingG4336, the heavenG3772 was openedG455,
AndG2532 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 descendedG2597 in a bodilyG4984 shapeG1491 likeG5616 a doveG4058 uponG1909 himG846, andG2532 a voiceG5456 cameG1096 fromG1537 heavenG3772, which saidG3004, ThouG4771 artG1488 myG3450 belovedG27 SonG5207; inG1722 theeG4671 I am well pleasedG2106.
AndG2532 JesusG2424 himselfG846 beganG756 to beG2258 aboutG5616 thirtyG5144 years of ageG2094, beingG5607 (asG5613 was supposedG3543) the sonG5207 of JosephG2501, which was the son of HeliG2242,

And I hatedH8130 EsauH6215, and laidH7760 his mountainsH2022 and his heritageH5159 wasteH8077 for the dragonsH8568 of the wildernessH4057.
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.
ButG1161 goG4198 ratherG3123 toG4314 the lostG622 sheepG4263 of the houseG3624 of IsraelG2474.
ButG1161 he answeredG611 and saidG2036, I amG649 notG3756 sentG649 butG1508 untoG1519 the lostG622 sheepG4263 of the houseG3624 of IsraelG2474.
Then saidH559 God, CallH7121 his nameH8034 LoammiH3818: for ye are not my peopleH5971, and I will not be your God. {Loammi: that is, Not my people}
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}
NowG1161 inG1722 the fifteenthG4003 yearG2094 of the reignG2231 of TiberiusG5086 CaesarG2541, PontiusG4194 PilateG4091 being governorG2230 of JudaeaG2449, andG2532 HerodG2264 being tetrarchG5075 of GalileeG1056, andG1161 hisG846 brotherG80 PhilipG5376 tetrarchG5075 of IturaeaG2484 andG2532 of the regionG5561 of TrachonitisG5139, andG2532 LysaniasG3078 the tetrarchG5075 of AbileneG9, {tetrarch: or, governor of four provinces}
ThouH607, O kingH4430, art a kingH4430 of kingsH4430: for the GodH426 of heavenH8065 hath givenH3052 thee a kingdomH4437, powerH2632, and strengthH8632, and gloryH3367.
AndG2532 they shall fallG4098 by the edgeG4750 of the swordG3162, andG2532 shall be led away captiveG163 intoG1519 allG3956 nationsG1484: andG2532 JerusalemG2419 shall beG2071 trodden downG3961 ofG5259 the GentilesG1484, untilG891 the timesG2540 of the GentilesG1484 be fulfilledG4137.
And I will sowH2232 her unto me in the earthH776; and I will have mercyH7355 upon her that had not obtained mercyH7355+H3818; and I will sayH559 to them which were not my peopleH5971, Thou art my peopleH5971; and they shall sayH559, Thou art my GodH430.
AndG1161 she shall bring forthG5088 a sonG5207, andG2532 thou shalt callG2564 hisG846 nameG3686 JESUSG2424: forG1063 heG846 shall saveG4982 hisG846 peopleG2992 fromG575 theirG846 sinsG266. {JESUS: that is, Saviour, Heb}
And he walkedH3212 in the wayH1870 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478, as didH6213 the houseH1004 of AhabH256: for the daughterH1323 of AhabH256 was his wifeH802: and he didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068.
And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to ElijahH452 the TishbiteH8664, sayingH559,
AriseH6965, go downH3381 to meetH7125 AhabH256 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, which is in SamariaH8111: behold, he is in the vineyardH3754 of NabothH5022, whither he is gone downH3381 to possessH3423 it.
And thou shalt speakH1696 unto him, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Hast thou killedH7523, and also taken possessionH3423? And thou shalt speakH1696 unto him, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, In the placeH4725 where dogsH3611 lickedH3952 the bloodH1818 of NabothH5022 shall dogsH3611 lickH3952 thy bloodH1818, even thine.
And AhabH256 saidH559 to ElijahH452, Hast thou foundH4672 me, O mine enemyH341? And he answeredH559, I have foundH4672 thee: because thou hast soldH4376 thyself to workH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068.
Behold, I will bringH935 evilH7451 upon thee, and will take awayH1197 thy posterityH310, and will cut offH3772 from AhabH256 him that pissethH8366 against the wallH7023, and him that is shut upH6113 and leftH5800 in IsraelH3478,
And will makeH5414 thine houseH1004 like the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, and like the houseH1004 of BaashaH1201 the sonH1121 of AhijahH281, for the provocationH3708 wherewith thou hast provoked me to angerH3707, and made IsraelH3478 to sinH2398.
And of JezebelH348 also spakeH1696 the LORDH3068, sayingH559, The dogsH3611 shall eatH398 JezebelH348 by the wallH2426 of JezreelH3157. {wall: or, ditch}
Him that diethH4191 of AhabH256 in the cityH5892 the dogsH3611 shall eatH398; and him that diethH4191 in the fieldH7704 shall the fowlsH5775 of the airH8064 eatH398.
But there was none like unto AhabH256, which did sellH4376 himself to workH6213 wickednessH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, whom JezebelH348 his wifeH802 stirred upH5496. {stirred…: or, incited}
And he did veryH3966 abominablyH8581 in followingH3212+H310 idolsH1544, according to all things as didH6213 the AmoritesH567, whom the LORDH3068 cast outH3423 beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
Thou shalt not bow downH7812 thyself to them, nor serveH5647 them: for I the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 am a jealousH7067 GodH410, visitingH6485 the iniquityH5771 of the fathersH1 upon the childrenH1121 unto the thirdH8029 and fourthH7256 generation of them that hateH8130 me;
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto JehuH3058, Because thou hast done wellH2895 in executingH6213 that which is rightH3477 in mine eyesH5869, and hast doneH6213 unto the houseH1004 of AhabH256 according to all that was in mine heartH3824, thy childrenH1121 of the fourthH7243 generation shall sitH3427 on the throneH3678 of IsraelH3478.
Him that diethH4191 of AhabH256 in the cityH5892 the dogsH3611 shall eatH398; and him that diethH4191 in the fieldH7704 shall the fowlsH5775 of the airH8064 eatH398.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of JehoiakimH3079 kingH4428 of JudahH3063; He shall have none to sitH3427 upon the throneH3678 of DavidH1732: and his dead bodyH5038 shall be cast outH7993 in the dayH3117 to the heatH2721, and in the nightH3915 to the frostH7140.
He shall be buriedH6912 with the burialH6900 of an assH2543, drawnH5498 and cast forthH7993 beyondH1973 the gatesH8179 of JerusalemH3389.
And it came to pass at that timeH6256, that JudahH3063 went downH3381 from his brethrenH251, and turnedH5186 in to a certainH376 AdullamiteH5726, whose nameH8034 was HirahH2437.
And JudahH3063 sawH7200 there a daughterH1323 of a certainH376 CanaaniteH3669, whose nameH8034 was ShuahH7770; and he took herH3947, and went inH935 unto her.
And she conceivedH2029, and bareH3205 a sonH1121; and he calledH7121 his nameH8034 ErH6147.
And she conceivedH2029 again, and bareH3205 a sonH1121; and she calledH7121 his nameH8034 OnanH209.
And she yet again conceivedH3254, and bareH3205 a sonH1121; and calledH7121 his nameH8034 ShelahH7956: and he was at ChezibH3580, when she bareH3205 him.
And JudahH3063 tookH3947 a wifeH802 for ErH6147 his firstbornH1060, whose nameH8034 was TamarH8559.
And ErH6147, Judah'sH3063 firstbornH1060, was wickedH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068; and the LORDH3068 slewH4191 him.
And JudahH3063 saidH559 unto OnanH209, Go inH935 unto thy brother'sH251 wifeH802, and marryH2992 her, and raise upH6965 seedH2233 to thy brotherH251.
And OnanH209 knewH3045 that the seedH2233 should not be his; and it came to pass, whenH518 he went inH935 unto his brother'sH251 wifeH802, that he spilledH7843 it on the groundH776, lestH1115 that he should giveH5414 seedH2233 to his brotherH251.
And the thing whichH834 he didH6213 displeasedH3415+H5869 the LORDH3068: wherefore he slewH4191 him also. {displeased…: Heb. was evil in the eyes of the Lord}
Then saidH559 JudahH3063 to TamarH8559 his daughter in lawH3618, RemainH3427 a widowH490 at thy father'sH1 houseH1004, till ShelahH7956 my sonH1121 be grownH1431: for he saidH559, Lest peradventure he dieH4191 also, as his brethrenH251 did. And TamarH8559 wentH3212 and dweltH3427 in her father'sH1 houseH1004.
And in processH7235 of timeH3117 the daughterH1323 of ShuahH7770 Judah'sH3063 wifeH802 diedH4191; and JudahH3063 was comfortedH5162, and went upH5927 unto his sheepshearersH1494+H6629 to TimnathH8553, he and his friendH7453 HirahH2437 the AdullamiteH5726. {in process…: Heb. the days were multiplied}
And it was toldH5046 TamarH8559, sayingH559, Behold thy father in lawH2524 goeth upH5927 to TimnathH8553 to shearH1494 his sheepH6629.
And she putH5493 her widow'sH491 garmentsH899 offH5493 from her, and covered herH3680 with a vailH6809, and wrapped herselfH5968, and sat inH3427 an openH5869 placeH6607, which is by the wayH1870 to TimnathH8553; for she sawH7200 that ShelahH7956 was grownH1431, and she was not givenH5414 unto him to wifeH802. {an open…: Heb. the door of eyes, or, of Enajim}
When JudahH3063 saw herH7200, he thoughtH2803 her to be an harlotH2181; because she had coveredH3680 her faceH6440.
And he turnedH5186 unto her by the wayH1870, and saidH559, Go toH3051, I pray thee, let me come inH935 unto thee; (for he knewH3045 not that she was his daughter in lawH3618.) And she saidH559, What wilt thou giveH5414 me, that thou mayest come inH935 unto me?
And he saidH559, I will sendH7971 thee a kidH5795+H1423 from the flockH6629. And she saidH559, Wilt thou giveH5414 me a pledgeH6162, till thou sendH7971 it? {a kid: Heb. a kid of the goats}
And he saidH559, WhatH834 pledgeH6162 shall I giveH5414 thee? And she saidH559, Thy signetH2368, and thy braceletsH6616, and thy staffH4294 that is in thine handH3027. And he gaveH5414 it her, and came inH935 unto her, and she conceivedH2029 by him.
And she aroseH6965, and went awayH3212, and laid byH5493 her vailH6809 from her, and put onH3847 the garmentsH899 of her widowhoodH491.
And JudahH3063 sentH7971 the kidH1423+H5795 by the handH3027 of his friendH7453 the AdullamiteH5726, to receiveH3947 his pledgeH6162 from the woman'sH802 handH3027: but he found herH4672 not.
Then he askedH7592 the menH582 of that placeH4725, sayingH559, Where is the harlotH6948, that was openlyH5869 by the way sideH1870? And they saidH559, There was no harlotH6948 in thisH2088 place. {openly: or, in Enajim}
And he returnedH7725 to JudahH3063, and saidH559, I cannotH3808 findH4672 her; and also the menH582 of the placeH4725 saidH559, that there was no harlotH6948 in this place.
And JudahH3063 saidH559, Let her takeH3947 it to her, lest we be shamedH937: behold, I sentH7971 this kidH1423, and thou hast not foundH4672 her. {be shamed: Heb. become a contempt}
And it came to pass about threeH7969 monthsH2320 after, that it was toldH5046 JudahH3063, sayingH559, TamarH8559 thy daughter in lawH3618 hath played the harlotH2181; and also, behold, she is with childH2030 by whoredomH2183. And JudahH3063 saidH559, Bring her forthH3318, and let her be burntH8313.
When she was brought forthH3318, she sentH7971 to her father in lawH2524, sayingH559, By the manH376, whose these are, am I with childH2030: and she saidH559, DiscernH5234, I pray thee, whose are these, the signetH2858, and braceletsH6616, and staffH4294.
And JudahH3063 acknowledgedH5234 them, and saidH559, She hath been more righteousH6663 than I; because that I gaveH5414 her not to ShelahH7956 my sonH1121. And he knew herH3045 againH3254 no more.
And it came to pass in the timeH6256 of her travailH3205, that, behold, twinsH8380 were in her wombH990.
And it came to pass, when she travailedH3205, that the one put outH5414 his handH3027: and the midwifeH3205 tookH3947 and boundH7194 upon his handH3027 a scarlet threadH8144, sayingH559, This came outH3318 firstH7223.
And it came to pass, as he drew backH7725 his handH3027, that, behold, his brotherH251 came outH3318: and she saidH559, How hast thou broken forthH6555? this breachH6556 be upon thee: therefore his nameH8034 was calledH7121 PharezH6557. {How hast…: or, Wherefore hast thou made this breach against thee?} {Pharez: that is A breach}
And afterwardH310 came outH3318 his brotherH251, that had the scarlet threadH8144 upon his handH3027: and his nameH8034 was calledH7121 ZarahH2226.
An AmmoniteH5984 or MoabiteH4125 shall not enterH935 into the congregationH6951 of the LORDH3068; even to their tenthH6224 generationH1755 shall they not enterH935 into the congregationH6951 of the LORDH3068 forH5704 everH5769:
Neither shall he regardH995 the GodH430 of his fathersH1, nor the desireH2532 of womenH802, nor regardH995 any godH433: for he shall magnifyH1431 himself above all.
And LotH3876 went upH5927 out of ZoarH6820, and dweltH3427 in the mountainH2022, and his twoH8147 daughtersH1323 with him; for he fearedH3372 to dwellH3427 in ZoarH6820: and he dweltH3427 in a caveH4631, he and his twoH8147 daughtersH1323.
And the firstbornH1067 saidH559 unto the youngerH6810, Our fatherH1 is oldH2204, and there is not a manH376 in the earthH776 to come inH935 unto us after the mannerH1870 of all the earthH776:
ComeH3212, let us makeH8248 our fatherH1 drinkH8248 wineH3196, and we will lieH7901 with him, that we may preserveH2421 seedH2233 of our fatherH1.
And they madeH8248 their fatherH1 drinkH8248 wineH3196 that nightH3915: and the firstbornH1067 went inH935, and layH7901 with her fatherH1; and he perceivedH3045 not when she lay downH7901, nor when she aroseH6965.
And it came to pass on the morrowH4283, that the firstbornH1067 saidH559 unto the youngerH6810, Behold, I layH7901 yesternightH570 with my fatherH1: let us make him drinkH8248 wineH3196 this nightH3915 also; and go thou inH935, and lieH7901 with him, that we may preserveH2421 seedH2233 of our fatherH1.
And they madeH8248 their fatherH1 drinkH8248 wineH3196 thatH1931 nightH3915 also: and the youngerH6810 aroseH6965, and layH7901 with him; and he perceivedH3045 not when she lay downH7901, nor when she aroseH6965.
Thus were bothH8147 the daughtersH1323 of LotH3876 with childH2029 by their fatherH1.
And the firstbornH1067 bareH3205 a sonH1121, and calledH7121 his nameH8034 MoabH4124: the sameH1931 is the fatherH1 of the MoabitesH4124 unto this dayH3117.
And the youngerH6810, she also bareH3205 a sonH1121, and calledH7121 his nameH8034 BenammiH1151: the same is the fatherH1 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 unto this dayH3117.
AndG2532 the angelG32 answeredG611 and saidG2036 unto herG846, The HolyG40 GhostG4151 shall comeG1904 uponG1909 theeG4571, andG2532 the powerG1411 of the HighestG5310 shall overshadowG1982 theeG4671: thereforeG1352 alsoG2532 that holy thingG40 which shall be bornG1080 ofG1537 theeG4675 shall be calledG2564 the SonG5207 of GodG2316.
How muchG4214 moreG3123 shallG2511 the bloodG129 of ChristG5547, whoG3739 throughG1223 the eternalG166 SpiritG4151 offeredG4374 himselfG1438 without spotG299 to GodG2316, purgeG2511 yourG5216 conscienceG4893 fromG575 deadG3498 worksG2041 toG1519 serveG3000 the livingG2198 GodG2316? {spot: or, fault}
