King James Version 1611 with Strong's numbers
Versliste
The LORDH3068 hath swornH7650, and will not repentH5162, Thou art a priestH3548 for everH5769 after the orderH1700 of MelchizedekH4442.
ForG1063 thisG3778 MelchisedecG3198, kingG935 of SalemG4532, priestG2409 of the most highG5310 GodG2316, whoG3588 metG4876 AbrahamG11 returningG5290 fromG575 the slaughterG2871 of the kingsG935, andG2532 blessedG2127 himG846;
To whomG3739 alsoG2532 AbrahamG11 gaveG3307 a tenth partG1181 ofG575 allG3956; firstG4412+G3303 being by interpretationG2059 KingG935 of righteousnessG1343, andG1161 after thatG1899 alsoG2532 KingG935 of SalemG4532, which isG3603, KingG935 of peaceG1515;
Without fatherG540, without motherG282, without descentG35, havingG2192 neitherG3383 beginningG746 of daysG2250, norG3383 endG5056 of lifeG2222; butG1161 made likeG871 unto the SonG5207 of GodG2316; abidethG3306 a priestG2409 continuallyG1519+G1336. {without descent: Gr. without pedigree}
NowG1161 considerG2334 how greatG4080 this manG3778 was, unto whomG3739 evenG2532 the patriarchG3966 AbrahamG11 gaveG1325 the tenthG1181 ofG1537 the spoilsG205.
AndG2532 verilyG3303 they that are ofG1537 the sonsG5207 of LeviG3017, whoG3588 receiveG2983 the office of the priesthoodG2405, haveG2192 a commandmentG1785 to take tithesG586 of the peopleG2992 according toG2596 the lawG3551, that isG5123, of theirG846 brethrenG80, thoughG2539 they comeG1831 out ofG1537 the loinsG3751 of AbrahamG11:
ButG1161 he whose descent isG1075 notG3361 countedG1075 fromG1537 themG846 received tithesG1183 of AbrahamG11, andG2532 blessedG2127 him that hadG2192 the promisesG1860. {descent: or, pedigree}
AndG1161 withoutG5565 allG3956 contradictionG485 the lessG1640 is blessedG2127 ofG5259 the betterG2909.
AndG2532 hereG5602+G3303 menG444 that dieG599 receiveG2983 tithesG1181; butG1161 thereG1563 he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessedG3140 thatG3754 he livethG2198.
AndG2532 asG5613 I may so sayG2031+G2036, LeviG3017 alsoG2532, whoG3588 receivethG2983 tithesG1181, payed tithesG1183 inG1223 AbrahamG11.
ForG1063 he wasG2258 yetG2089 inG1722 the loinsG3751 of his fatherG3962, whenG3753 MelchisedecG3198 metG4876 himG846.
IfG1487+G3303 thereforeG3767 perfectionG5050 wereG2258 byG1223 the LeviticalG3020 priesthoodG2420, (forG1063 underG1909 itG846 the peopleG2992 received the lawG3549,) whatG5101 furtherG2089 needG5532 was there that anotherG2087 priestG2409 should riseG450 afterG2596 the orderG5010 of MelchisedecG3198, andG2532 notG3756 be calledG3004 afterG2596 the orderG5010 of AaronG2?
ForG1063 the priesthoodG2420 being changedG3346, there is madeG1096 ofG1537 necessityG318 a changeG3331 alsoG2532 of the lawG3551.
ForG1063 he ofG1909 whomG3739 these thingsG5023 are spokenG3004 pertainethG3348 to anotherG2087 tribeG5443, ofG575 whichG3739 no manG3762 gave attendanceG4337 at the altarG2379.
ForG1063 it is evidentG4271 thatG3754 ourG2257 LordG2962 sprangG393 out ofG1537 JudaG2455; ofG1519 whichG3739 tribeG5443 MosesG3475 spakeG2980 nothingG3762 concerningG4012 priesthoodG2420.
AndG2532 it isG2076 yetG2089 far moreG4054 evidentG2612: forG1487 that afterG2596 the similitudeG3665 of MelchisedecG3198 there arisethG450 anotherG2087 priestG2409,
WhoG3739 is madeG1096, notG3756 afterG2596 the lawG3551 of a carnalG4559 commandmentG1785, butG235 afterG2596 the powerG1411 of an endlessG179 lifeG2222.
ForG1063 he testifiethG3140+G3754, ThouG4771 art a priestG2409 forG1519 everG165 afterG2596 the orderG5010 of MelchisedecG3198.
ForG1063 there isG1096 verilyG3303 a disannullingG115 of the commandmentG1785 going beforeG4254 forG1223 the weaknessG772 andG2532 unprofitablenessG512 thereofG846.
ForG1063 the lawG3551 madeG5048 nothingG3762 perfectG5048, butG1161 the bringing inG1898 of a betterG2909 hopeG1680 did; byG1223 the whichG3739 we draw nighG1448 unto GodG2316. {the bringing…: or, it was the bringing in}
AndG2532 inasmuch asG2596+G3745 notG3756 withoutG5565 an oathG3728 he was made priest:
(ForG1063 those priestsG2409 wereG3303+G1526 madeG1096 withoutG5565 an oathG3728; butG1161 this withG3326 an oathG3728 byG1223 him that saidG3004 untoG4314 himG846, The LordG2962 swareG3660 andG2532 willG3338 notG3756 repentG3338, ThouG4771 art a priestG2409 forG1519 everG165 afterG2596 the orderG5010 of MelchisedecG3198:) {without…: or, without swearing of an oath}
ByG2596 so muchG5118 wasG1096 JesusG2424 madeG1096 a suretyG1450 of a betterG2909 testamentG1242.
AndG2532 theyG1526 trulyG3303 wereG1526+G1096 manyG4119 priestsG2409, because they were not sufferedG2967 to continueG3887 by reason ofG1223 deathG2288:
ButG1161 this man, becauseG1223 heG846 continuethG3306 everG1519+G165, hathG2192 an unchangeableG531 priesthoodG2420. {an…: or, which passeth not from one to another}
WhereforeG3606 he is ableG1410 alsoG2532 to save themG4982 toG1519 the uttermostG3838 that comeG4334 unto GodG2316 byG1223 himG846, seeing he everG3842 livethG2198 toG1519 make intercessionG1793 forG5228 themG846. {to the…: or, evermore}
ForG1063 suchG5108 an high priestG749 becameG4241 usG2254, who is holyG3741, harmlessG172, undefiledG283, separateG5563 fromG575 sinnersG268, andG2532 madeG1096 higher thanG5308 the heavensG3772;
WhoG3739 needethG2192+G318 notG3756 dailyG2596+G2250, asG5618 those high priestsG749, to offer upG399 sacrificeG2378, firstG4386 forG5228 his ownG2398 sinsG266, and thenG1899 for the people'sG2992: forG1063 thisG5124 he didG4160 onceG2178, when he offered upG399 himselfG1438.
ForG1063 the lawG3551 makethG2525 menG444 high priestsG749 which haveG2192 infirmityG769; butG1161 the wordG3056 of the oathG3728, whichG3588 was sinceG3326 the lawG3551, maketh the SonG5207, who is consecratedG5048 forG1519 evermoreG165. {consecrated: Gr. perfected}
And the holyH6944 garmentsH899 of AaronH175 shall be his sons'H1121 afterH310 him, to be anointedH4888 therein, and to be consecratedH4390+H3027 in them.
And stripH6584 AaronH175 of his garmentsH899, and putH3847 them upon EleazarH499 his sonH1121: and AaronH175 shall be gatheredH622 unto his people, and shall dieH4191 there.
ForG1063 thisG3778 MelchisedecG3198, kingG935 of SalemG4532, priestG2409 of the most highG5310 GodG2316, whoG3588 metG4876 AbrahamG11 returningG5290 fromG575 the slaughterG2871 of the kingsG935, andG2532 blessedG2127 himG846;
To whomG3739 alsoG2532 AbrahamG11 gaveG3307 a tenth partG1181 ofG575 allG3956; firstG4412+G3303 being by interpretationG2059 KingG935 of righteousnessG1343, andG1161 after thatG1899 alsoG2532 KingG935 of SalemG4532, which isG3603, KingG935 of peaceG1515;
Without fatherG540, without motherG282, without descentG35, havingG2192 neitherG3383 beginningG746 of daysG2250, norG3383 endG5056 of lifeG2222; butG1161 made likeG871 unto the SonG5207 of GodG2316; abidethG3306 a priestG2409 continuallyG1519+G1336. {without descent: Gr. without pedigree}
NowG1161 considerG2334 how greatG4080 this manG3778 was, unto whomG3739 evenG2532 the patriarchG3966 AbrahamG11 gaveG1325 the tenthG1181 ofG1537 the spoilsG205.

ButG1161 he whose descent isG1075 notG3361 countedG1075 fromG1537 themG846 received tithesG1183 of AbrahamG11, andG2532 blessedG2127 him that hadG2192 the promisesG1860. {descent: or, pedigree}
AndG1161 withoutG5565 allG3956 contradictionG485 the lessG1640 is blessedG2127 ofG5259 the betterG2909.
AndG2532 hereG5602+G3303 menG444 that dieG599 receiveG2983 tithesG1181; butG1161 thereG1563 he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessedG3140 thatG3754 he livethG2198.
AndG2532 asG5613 I may so sayG2031+G2036, LeviG3017 alsoG2532, whoG3588 receivethG2983 tithesG1181, payed tithesG1183 inG1223 AbrahamG11.
ForG1063 he wasG2258 yetG2089 inG1722 the loinsG3751 of his fatherG3962, whenG3753 MelchisedecG3198 metG4876 himG846.
IfG1487+G3303 thereforeG3767 perfectionG5050 wereG2258 byG1223 the LeviticalG3020 priesthoodG2420, (forG1063 underG1909 itG846 the peopleG2992 received the lawG3549,) whatG5101 furtherG2089 needG5532 was there that anotherG2087 priestG2409 should riseG450 afterG2596 the orderG5010 of MelchisedecG3198, andG2532 notG3756 be calledG3004 afterG2596 the orderG5010 of AaronG2?

ForG1063 suchG5108 an high priestG749 becameG4241 usG2254, who is holyG3741, harmlessG172, undefiledG283, separateG5563 fromG575 sinnersG268, andG2532 madeG1096 higher thanG5308 the heavensG3772;

AsG2531 he saithG3004 alsoG2532 inG1722 anotherG2087 place, ThouG4771 art a priestG2409 forG1519 everG165 afterG2596 the orderG5010 of MelchisedecG3198.
CalledG4316 ofG5259 GodG2316 an high priestG749 afterG2596 the orderG5010 of MelchisedecG3198.
WhitherG3699 the forerunnerG4274 isG1525 forG5228 usG2257 enteredG1525, even JesusG2424, madeG1096 an high priestG749 forG1519 everG165 afterG2596 the orderG5010 of MelchisedecG3198.
ForG1063 he testifiethG3140+G3754, ThouG4771 art a priestG2409 forG1519 everG165 afterG2596 the orderG5010 of MelchisedecG3198.
(ForG1063 those priestsG2409 wereG3303+G1526 madeG1096 withoutG5565 an oathG3728; butG1161 this withG3326 an oathG3728 byG1223 him that saidG3004 untoG4314 himG846, The LordG2962 swareG3660 andG2532 willG3338 notG3756 repentG3338, ThouG4771 art a priestG2409 forG1519 everG165 afterG2596 the orderG5010 of MelchisedecG3198:) {without…: or, without swearing of an oath}
And thou shalt setH5414 upon the tableH7979 shewbreadH3899 beforeH6440 me alwayH8548.
And thou shalt takeH3947 fine flourH5560, and bakeH644 twelveH6240 cakesH2471 thereof: twoH8147 tenth dealsH6241 shall be in oneH259 cakeH2471.
And thou shalt setH7760 them in twoH8147 rowsH4634, sixH8337 on a rowH4635, upon the pureH2889 tableH7979 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068.
And thou shalt putH5414 pureH2134 frankincenseH3828 upon each rowH4635, that it may be on the breadH3899 for a memorialH234, even an offering made by fireH801 unto the LORDH3068.
Every sabbathH7676 he shall set itH3117 in orderH6186 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 continuallyH8548, being taken from the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 by an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285.
And it shall be Aaron'sH175 and his sons'H1121; and they shall eatH398 it in the holyH6918 placeH4725: for it is mostH6944 holyH6944 unto him of the offeringsH801 of the LORDH3068 made by fireH801 by a perpetualH5769 statuteH2706.
And thou shalt commandH6680 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, that they bringH3947 thee pureH2134 oilH8081 oliveH2132 beatenH3795 for the lightH3974, to cause the lampH5216 to burnH5927 alwaysH8548. {to burn: Heb. to ascend up}
In the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150 withoutH2351 the vailH6532, which is before the testimonyH5715, AaronH175 and his sonsH1121 shall orderH6186 it from eveningH6153 to morningH1242 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068: it shall be a statuteH2708 for everH5769 unto their generationsH1755 on the behalf of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872, sayingH559,
CommandH6680 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, that they bringH3947 unto thee pureH2134 oilH8081 oliveH2132 beatenH3795 for the lightH3974, to cause the lampsH5216 to burnH5927 continuallyH8548. {to cause: Heb. to cause to ascend}
WithoutH2351 the vailH6532 of the testimonyH5715, in the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150, shall AaronH175 orderH6186 it from the eveningH6153 unto the morningH1242 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 continuallyH8548: it shall be a statuteH2708 for everH5769 in your generationsH1755.
He shall orderH6186 the lampsH5216 upon the pureH2889 candlestickH4501 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 continuallyH8548.
And AaronH175 shall burnH6999 thereon sweetH5561 incenseH7004 every morningH1242: when he dressethH3190 the lampsH5216, he shall burn incenseH6999 upon it. {sweet incense: Heb. incense of spices}
And when AaronH175 lightethH5927 the lampsH5216 at evenH6153, he shall burn incenseH6999 upon it, a perpetualH8548 incenseH7004 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 throughout your generationsH1755. {lighteth: or setteth up: Heb. causeth to ascend} {at even: Heb. between the two evenings}
ThereforeG1223+G5124 weG2248 oughtG1163 to give the more earnestG4056 heedG4337 to the things which we have heardG191, lest at any timeG3379 we should let them slipG3901. {let…: Gr. run out as leaking vessels}
ForG1063 ifG1487 the wordG3056 spokenG2980 byG1223 angelsG32 wasG1096 stedfastG949, andG2532 everyG3956 transgressionG3847 andG2532 disobedienceG3876 receivedG2983 a justG1738 recompence of rewardG3405;
HowG4459 shall weG2249 escapeG1628, if we neglectG272 so greatG5082 salvationG4991; whichG3748 at the firstG746 beganG2983 to be spokenG2980 byG1223 the LordG2962, and was confirmedG950 untoG1519 usG2248 byG5259 them that heardG191 him;
GodG2316 also bearing them witnessG4901, bothG5037 with signsG4592 andG2532 wondersG5059, andG2532 with diversG4164 miraclesG1411, andG2532 giftsG3311 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151, according toG2596 his ownG846 willG2308? {gifts: or, distributions}
ForG1063 unto the angelsG32 hath heG5293 notG3756 put in subjectionG5293 the worldG3625 to comeG3195, whereofG4012+G3739 we speakG2980.
ButG1161 oneG5100 in a certain placeG4225 testifiedG1263, sayingG3004, WhatG5101 isG2076 manG444, thatG3754 thou art mindfulG3403 of himG846? orG2228 the sonG5207 of manG444, thatG3754 thou visitestG1980 himG846?
Thou madestG1642 himG846 a littleG1024+G5100 lowerG1642 thanG3844 the angelsG32; thou crownedstG4737 himG846 with gloryG1391 andG2532 honourG5092, andG2532 didst setG2525 himG846 overG1909 the worksG2041 of thyG4675 handsG5495: {lower…: or, while inferior to}
Thou hast putG5293 all thingsG3956 in subjectionG5293 underG5270 hisG846 feetG4228. ForG1063 inG1722 that he putG5293 allG3956 in subjection underG5293 himG846, he leftG863 nothing that is notG3762 put underG506 himG846. ButG1161 nowG3568 we seeG3708 not yetG3768 all thingsG3956 put underG5293 himG846.
ButG1161 we seeG991 JesusG2424, whoG3588 was madeG1642 a littleG1024+G5100 lowerG1642 thanG3844 the angelsG32 forG1223 the sufferingG3804 of deathG2288, crownedG4737 with gloryG1391 andG2532 honourG5092; thatG3704 heG1089 by the graceG5485 of GodG2316 should tasteG1089 deathG2288 forG5228 every manG3956. {for the: or, by the}
ForG1063 it becameG4241 himG846, forG1223 whomG3739 are all thingsG3956, andG2532 byG1223 whomG3739 are all thingsG3956, in bringingG71 manyG4183 sonsG5207 untoG1519 gloryG1391, to makeG5048 the captainG747 of theirG846 salvationG4991 perfectG5048 throughG1223 sufferingsG3804.
ForG1063 bothG5037 he that sanctifiethG37 andG2532 they who are sanctifiedG37 are allG3956 ofG1537 oneG1520: forG1223 whichG3739 causeG156 he isG1870 notG3756 ashamedG1870 to callG2564 themG846 brethrenG80,
SayingG3004, I will declareG518 thyG4675 nameG3686 unto myG3450 brethrenG80, inG1722 the midstG3319 of the churchG1577 will I sing praiseG5214 unto theeG4571.
AndG2532 againG3825, IG1473 willG2071 put my trustG3982 inG1909 himG846. AndG2532 againG3825, BeholdG2400 IG1473 andG2532 the childrenG3813 whichG3739 GodG2316 hath givenG1325 meG3427.
ForasmuchG1893 thenG3767 as the childrenG3813 are partakersG2841 of fleshG4561 andG2532 bloodG129, heG3348 alsoG2532 himselfG846 likewiseG3898 took partG3348 of the sameG846; thatG2443 throughG1223 deathG2288 he might destroyG2673 him that hadG2192 the powerG2904 of deathG2288, that isG5123, the devilG1228;
AndG2532 deliverG525 themG5128 whoG3745 throughG1223 fearG5401 of deathG2288 wereG2258 allG3956 their lifetimeG2198 subjectG1777 to bondageG1397.
ForG1063 verilyG1222 he tookG1949 notG3756 onG1949 him the nature of angelsG32; butG235 he took onG1949 him the seedG4690 of AbrahamG11. {took not…: Gr. taketh not hold of angels, but of the seed of Abraham he taketh hold}
WhereforeG3606 inG2596 all thingsG3956 it behoved himG3784 to be made likeG3666 unto his brethrenG80, thatG2443 he might beG1096 a mercifulG1655 andG2532 faithfulG4103 high priestG749 in things pertaining toG4314 GodG2316, toG1519 make reconciliation forG2433 the sinsG266 of the peopleG2992.
ForG1063 inG1722 thatG3739 heG3958 himselfG846 hath sufferedG3958 being temptedG3985, he is ableG1410 to succourG997 them that are temptedG3985.
SeeingG2192 thenG3767 that we haveG2192 a greatG3173 high priestG749, that is passed intoG1330 the heavensG3772, JesusG2424 the SonG5207 of GodG2316, let us hold fastG2902 our professionG3671.
ForG1063 we haveG2192 notG3756 an high priestG749 which cannotG3361+G1410 be touched with the feelingG4834 of ourG2257 infirmitiesG769; butG1161 wasG3985 inG2596 all pointsG3956 temptedG3985+G3987 likeG2596 asG3665 we are, yet withoutG5565 sinG266.
Let usG4334 thereforeG3767 comeG4334 boldlyG3326+G3954 unto the throneG2362 of graceG5485, thatG2443 we may obtainG2983 mercyG1656, andG2532 findG2147 graceG5485 to helpG996 inG1519 time of needG2121.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872 afterH310 the deathH4194 of the twoH8147 sonsH1121 of AaronH175, when they offeredH7126 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and diedH4191;
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, SpeakH1696 unto AaronH175 thy brotherH251, that he comeH935 not at all timesH6256 into the holyH6944 place withinH1004 the vailH6532 beforeH6440 the mercy seatH3727, which is upon the arkH727; that he dieH4191 not: for I will appearH7200 in the cloudH6051 upon the mercyH3727 seat.
ThusH2063 shall AaronH175 comeH935 into the holyH6944 place: with a youngH1121+H1241 bullockH6499 for a sin offeringH2403, and a ramH352 for a burnt offeringH5930.
He shall put onH3847 the holyH6944 linenH906 coatH3801, and he shall have the linenH906 breechesH4370 upon his fleshH1320, and shall be girdedH2296 with a linenH906 girdleH73, and with the linenH906 mitreH4701 shall he be attiredH6801: theseH1992 are holyH6944 garmentsH899; therefore shall he washH7364 his fleshH1320 in waterH4325, and so put them onH3847.
And he shall takeH3947 of the congregationH5712 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 twoH8147 kidsH8163 of the goatsH5795 for a sin offeringH2403, and oneH259 ramH352 for a burnt offeringH5930.
And AaronH175 shall offerH7126 his bullockH6499 of the sin offeringH2403, which is for himselfH1157, and make an atonementH3722 for himself, and for his houseH1004.
And he shall takeH3947 the twoH8147 goatsH8163, and presentH5975 them beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 at the doorH6607 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150.
And AaronH175 shall castH5414 lotsH1486 upon the twoH8147 goatsH8163; oneH259 lotH1486 for the LORDH3068, and the otherH259 lotH1486 for the scapegoatH5799. {scapegoat: Heb. Azazel}
And AaronH175 shall bringH7126 the goatH8163 upon which the LORD'SH3068 lotH1486 fellH5927, and offerH6213 him for a sin offeringH2403. {fell: Heb. went up}
But the goatH8163, on which the lotH1486 fellH5927 to be the scapegoatH5799, shall be presentedH5975 aliveH2416 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, to make an atonementH3722 with him, and to let him goH7971 for a scapegoatH5799 into the wildernessH4057.
And AaronH175 shall bringH7126 the bullockH6499 of the sin offeringH2403, which is for himself, and shall make an atonementH3722 for himself, and for his houseH1004, and shall killH7819 the bullockH6499 of the sin offeringH2403 which is for himself:
And he shall takeH3947 a censerH4289 fullH4393 of burningH784 coalsH1513 of fireH784 from off the altarH4196 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and his handsH2651 fullH4393 of sweetH5561 incenseH7004 beaten smallH1851, and bringH935 it withinH1004 the vailH6532:
And he shall putH5414 the incenseH7004 upon the fireH784 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, that the cloudH6051 of the incenseH7004 may coverH3680 the mercy seatH3727 that is upon the testimonyH5715, that he dieH4191 not:
And he shall takeH3947 of the bloodH1818 of the bullockH6499, and sprinkleH5137 it with his fingerH676 upon the mercy seatH3727 eastwardH6924; and beforeH6440 the mercy seatH3727 shall he sprinkleH5137 of the bloodH1818 with his fingerH676 sevenH7651 timesH6471.
Then shall he killH7819 the goatH8163 of the sin offeringH2403, that is for the peopleH5971, and bringH935 his bloodH1818 withinH1004 the vailH6532, and doH6213 with that bloodH1818 as he didH6213 with the bloodH1818 of the bullockH6499, and sprinkleH5137 it upon the mercy seatH3727, and beforeH6440 the mercy seatH3727:
And he shall make an atonementH3722 for the holyH6944 place, because of the uncleannessH2932 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and because of their transgressionsH6588 in all their sinsH2403: and so shall he doH6213 for the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150, that remainethH7931 among them in the midstH8432 of their uncleannessH2932. {remaineth: Heb. dwelleth}
And there shall be no manH120 in the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150 when he goethH935 in to make an atonementH3722 in the holyH6944 place, until he come outH3318, and have made an atonementH3722 for himself, and for his householdH1004, and for all the congregationH6951 of IsraelH3478.
And he shall go outH3318 unto the altarH4196 that is beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and make an atonementH3722 for it; and shall takeH3947 of the bloodH1818 of the bullockH6499, and of the bloodH1818 of the goatH8163, and putH5414 it upon the hornsH7161 of the altarH4196 round aboutH5439.
And he shall sprinkleH5137 of the bloodH1818 upon it with his fingerH676 sevenH7651 timesH6471, and cleanseH2891 it, and hallowH6942 it from the uncleannessH2932 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And when he hath made an endH3615 of reconcilingH3722 the holyH6944 place, and the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150, and the altarH4196, he shall bringH7126 the liveH2416 goatH8163:
And AaronH175 shall layH5564 bothH8147 his handsH3027 upon the headH7218 of the liveH2416 goatH8163, and confessH3034 over him all the iniquitiesH5771 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and all their transgressionsH6588 in all their sinsH2403, puttingH5414 them upon the headH7218 of the goatH8163, and shall send him awayH7971 by the handH3027 of a fitH6261 manH376 into the wildernessH4057: {a fit…: Heb. a man of opportunity}
And the goatH8163 shall bearH5375 upon him all their iniquitiesH5771 unto a landH776 not inhabitedH1509: and he shall let goH7971 the goatH8163 in the wildernessH4057. {not…: Heb. of separation}
And AaronH175 shall comeH935 into the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150, and shall put offH6584 the linenH906 garmentsH899, which he put onH3847 when he wentH935 into the holyH6944 place, and shall leaveH3240 them there:
And he shall washH7364 his fleshH1320 with waterH4325 in the holyH6918 placeH4725, and put onH3847 his garmentsH899, and come forthH3318, and offerH6213 his burnt offeringH5930, and the burnt offeringH5930 of the peopleH5971, and make an atonementH3722 for himself, and for the peopleH5971.
And the fatH2459 of the sin offeringH2403 shall he burnH6999 upon the altarH4196.
And he that let goH7971 the goatH8163 for the scapegoatH5799 shall washH3526 his clothesH899, and batheH7364 his fleshH1320 in waterH4325, and afterwardH310 comeH935 into the campH4264.
And the bullockH6499 for the sin offeringH2403, and the goatH8163 for the sin offeringH2403, whose bloodH1818 was brought inH935 to make atonementH3722 in the holyH6944 place, shall one carry forthH3318 withoutH2351 the campH4264; and they shall burnH8313 in the fireH784 their skinsH5785, and their fleshH1320, and their dungH6569.
And he that burnethH8313 them shall washH3526 his clothesH899, and batheH7364 his fleshH1320 in waterH4325, and afterwardH310 he shall comeH935 into the campH4264.
And this shall be a statuteH2708 for everH5769 unto you: that in the seventhH7637 monthH2320, on the tenthH6218 day of the monthH2320, ye shall afflictH6031 your soulsH5315, and doH6213 no workH4399 at all, whether it be one of your own countryH249, or a strangerH1616 that sojournethH1481 amongH8432 you:
For on that dayH3117 shall the priest make an atonementH3722 for you, to cleanseH2891 you, that ye may be cleanH2891 from all your sinsH2403 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068.
It shall be a sabbathH7676 of restH7677 unto you, and ye shall afflictH6031 your soulsH5315, by a statuteH2708 for everH5769.
And the priestH3548, whom he shall anointH4886, and whom he shall consecrateH4390+H3027 to minister in the priest's officeH3547 in his father'sH1 stead, shall make the atonementH3722, and shall put onH3847 the linenH906 clothesH899, even the holyH6944 garmentsH899: {consecrate: Heb. fill his hand}
And he shall make an atonementH3722 for the holyH6944 sanctuaryH4720, and he shall make an atonementH3722 for the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150, and for the altarH4196, and he shall make an atonementH3722 for the priestsH3548, and for all the peopleH5971 of the congregationH6951.
And this shall be an everlastingH5769 statuteH2708 unto you, to make an atonementH3722 for the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 for all their sinsH2403 onceH259 a yearH8141. And he didH6213 as the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 MosesH4872.
NeitherG3761 byG1223 the bloodG129 of goatsG5131 andG2532 calvesG3448, butG1161 byG1223 his ownG2398 bloodG129 he entered inG1525 onceG2178 intoG1519 the holy placeG39, having obtainedG2147 eternalG166 redemptionG3085 for us.
ForG1063 ChristG5547 isG1525 notG3756 enteredG1525 intoG1519 the holy placesG39 made with handsG5499, which are the figuresG499 of the trueG228; butG235 intoG1519 heavenG3772 itselfG846, nowG3568 to appearG1718 in the presenceG4383 of GodG2316 forG5228 usG2257:
And takeH7126 thou unto thee AaronH175 thy brotherH251, and his sonsH1121 with him, from amongH8432 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, that he may minister unto me in the priest's officeH3547, even AaronH175, NadabH5070 and AbihuH30, EleazarH499 and IthamarH385, Aaron'sH175 sonsH1121.
And thou shalt makeH6213 holyH6944 garmentsH899 for AaronH175 thy brotherH251 for gloryH3519 and for beautyH8597.
And thou shalt speakH1696 unto all that are wiseH2450 heartedH3820, whom I have filledH4390 with the spiritH7307 of wisdomH2451, that they may makeH6213 Aaron'sH175 garmentsH899 to consecrateH6942 him, that he may minister unto me in the priest's officeH3547.
And these are the garmentsH899 which they shall makeH6213; a breastplateH2833, and an ephodH646, and a robeH4598, and a broideredH8665 coatH3801, a mitreH4701, and a girdleH73: and they shall makeH6213 holyH6944 garmentsH899 for AaronH175 thy brotherH251, and his sonsH1121, that he may minister unto me in the priest's officeH3547.
And they shall takeH3947 goldH2091, and blueH8504, and purpleH713, and scarletH8144+H8438, and fine linenH8336.
And they shall makeH6213 the ephodH646 of goldH2091, of blueH8504, and of purpleH713, of scarletH8144+H8438, and fine twinedH7806 linenH8336, with cunningH2803 workH4639.
It shall have the twoH8147 shoulderpiecesH3802 thereof joinedH2266 at the twoH8147 edgesH7098 thereof; and so it shall be joined togetherH2266.
And the curious girdleH2805 of the ephodH642, which is upon it, shall be of the same, according to the workH4639 thereof; even of goldH2091, of blueH8504, and purpleH713, and scarletH8144+H8438, and fine twinedH7806 linenH8336. {curious: or, embroidered}
And thou shalt takeH3947 twoH8147 onyxH7718 stonesH68, and graveH6605 on them the namesH8034 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478:
SixH8337 of their namesH8034 on oneH259 stoneH68, and the other sixH8337 namesH8034 of the restH3498 on the otherH8145 stoneH68, according to their birthH8435.
With the workH4639 of an engraverH2796 in stoneH68, like the engravingsH6603 of a signetH2368, shalt thou engraveH6605 the twoH8147 stonesH68 with the namesH8034 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: thou shalt makeH6213 them to be setH4142 in ouchesH4865 of goldH2091.
And thou shalt putH7760 the twoH8147 stonesH68 upon the shouldersH3802 of the ephodH646 for stonesH68 of memorialH2146 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: and AaronH175 shall bearH5375 their namesH8034 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 upon his twoH8147 shouldersH3802 for a memorialH2146.
And thou shalt makeH6213 ouchesH4865 of goldH2091;
And twoH8147 chainsH8333 of pureH2889 goldH2091 at the endsH4020; of wreathenH5688 workH4639 shalt thou makeH6213 them, and fastenH5414 the wreathenH5688 chainsH8333 to the ouchesH4865.
And thou shalt makeH6213 the breastplateH2833 of judgmentH4941 with cunningH2803 workH4639; after the workH4639 of the ephodH646 thou shalt makeH6213 it; of goldH2091, of blueH8504, and of purpleH713, and of scarletH8144+H8438, and of fine twinedH7806 linenH8336, shalt thou makeH6213 it.
FoursquareH7251 it shall be being doubledH3717; a spanH2239 shall be the lengthH753 thereof, and a spanH2239 shall be the breadthH7341 thereof.
And thou shalt setH4390 in it settingsH4396 of stonesH68, even fourH702 rowsH2905 of stonesH68: the first rowH2905 shall be a sardiusH124, a topazH6357, and a carbuncleH1304: this shall be the firstH259 rowH2905. {set…: Heb. fill in it fillings of stone} {sardius: or, ruby}
And the secondH8145 rowH2905 shall be an emeraldH5306, a sapphireH5601, and a diamondH3095.
And the thirdH7992 rowH2905 a ligureH3958, an agateH7618, and an amethystH306.
And the fourthH7243 rowH2905 a berylH8658, and an onyxH7718, and a jasperH3471: they shall be setH7660 in goldH2091 in their inclosingsH4396. {inclosings: Heb. fillings}
And the stonesH68 shall be with the namesH8034 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, twelveH8147+H6240, according to their namesH8034, like the engravingsH6603 of a signetH2368; every oneH376 with his nameH8034 shall they be according to the twelveH8147+H6240 tribesH7626.
And thou shalt makeH6213 upon the breastplateH2833 chainsH8331 at the endsH1383 of wreathenH5688 workH4639 of pureH2889 goldH2091.
And thou shalt makeH6213 upon the breastplateH2833 twoH8147 ringsH2885 of goldH2091, and shalt putH5414 the twoH8147 ringsH2885 on the twoH8147 endsH7098 of the breastplateH2833.
And thou shalt putH5414 the twoH8147 wreathenH5688 chains of goldH2091 in the twoH8147 ringsH2885 which are on the endsH7098 of the breastplateH2833.
And the other twoH8147 endsH7098 of the twoH8147 wreathenH5688 chains thou shalt fastenH5414 in the twoH8147 ouchesH4865, and putH5414 them on the shoulderpiecesH3802 of the ephodH646 beforeH6440 itH4136.
And thou shalt makeH6213 twoH8147 ringsH2885 of goldH2091, and thou shalt putH7760 them upon the twoH8147 endsH7098 of the breastplateH2833 in the borderH8193 thereof, which is in the sideH5676 of the ephodH646 inwardH1004.
And twoH8147 other ringsH2885 of goldH2091 thou shalt makeH6213, and shalt putH5414 them on the twoH8147 sidesH3802 of the ephodH646 underneathH4295, towardH4136 the forepartH6440 thereof, over againstH5980 the other couplingH4225 thereof, aboveH4605 the curious girdleH2805 of the ephodH646.
And they shall bindH7405 the breastplateH2833 by the ringsH2885 thereof unto the ringsH2885 of the ephodH646 with a laceH6616 of blueH8504, that it may be above the curious girdleH2805 of the ephodH646, and that the breastplateH2833 be not loosedH2118 from the ephodH646.
And AaronH175 shall bearH5375 the namesH8034 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 in the breastplateH2833 of judgmentH4941 upon his heartH3820, when he goethH935 in unto the holyH6944 place, for a memorialH2146 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 continuallyH8548.
And thou shalt putH5414 in the breastplateH2833 of judgmentH4941 the UrimH224 and the ThummimH8550; and they shall be upon Aaron'sH175 heartH3820, when he goethH935 in beforeH6440 the LORDH3068: and AaronH175 shall bearH5375 the judgmentH4941 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 upon his heartH3820 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 continuallyH8548.
And thou shalt makeH6213 the robeH4598 of the ephodH646 allH3632 of blueH8504.
And there shall be an holeH6310 in the topH7218 of it, in the midstH8432 thereof: it shall have a bindingH8193 of wovenH707 workH4639 round aboutH5439 the holeH6310 of it, as it were the holeH6310 of an habergeonH8473, that it be not rentH7167.
And beneath upon the hemH7757 of it thou shalt makeH6213 pomegranatesH7416 of blueH8504, and of purpleH713, and of scarletH8144+H8438, round aboutH5439 the hemH7757 thereof; and bellsH6472 of goldH2091 betweenH8432 them round aboutH5439: {hem: or, skirts}
A goldenH2091 bellH6472 and a pomegranateH7416, a goldenH2091 bellH6472 and a pomegranateH7416, upon the hemH7757 of the robeH4598 round aboutH5439.
And it shall be upon AaronH175 to ministerH8334: and his soundH6963 shall be heardH8085 when he goethH935 in unto the holyH6944 place beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and when he comethH3318 out, that he dieH4191 not.
And thou shalt makeH6213 a plateH6731 of pureH2889 goldH2091, and graveH6605 upon it, like the engravingsH6603 of a signetH2368, HOLINESSH6944 TO THE LORDH3068.
And thou shalt putH7760 it on a blueH8504 laceH6616, that it may be upon the mitreH4701; upon the forefrontH6440+H4136 of the mitreH4701 it shall be.
And it shall be upon Aaron'sH175 foreheadH4696, that AaronH175 may bearH5375 the iniquityH5771 of the holy thingsH6944, which the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 shall hallowH6942 in all their holyH6944 giftsH4979; and it shall be alwaysH8548 upon his foreheadH4696, that they may be acceptedH7522 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068.
And thou shalt embroiderH7660 the coatH3801 of fine linenH8336, and thou shalt makeH6213 the mitreH4701 of fine linenH8336, and thou shalt makeH6213 the girdleH73 of needleworkH7551+H4639.
And for Aaron'sH175 sonsH1121 thou shalt makeH6213 coatsH3801, and thou shalt makeH6213 for them girdlesH73, and bonnetsH4021 shalt thou makeH6213 for them, for gloryH3519 and for beautyH8597.
And thou shalt putH3847 them upon AaronH175 thy brotherH251, and his sonsH1121 with him; and shalt anointH4886 them, and consecrateH4390+H3027 them, and sanctifyH6942 them, that they may minister unto me in the priest's officeH3547. {consecrate…: Heb. fill their hand}
And thou shalt makeH6213 them linenH906 breechesH4370 to coverH3680 their nakednessH1320+H6172; from the loinsH4975 even unto the thighsH3409 they shall reach: {their…: Heb. flesh of their nakedness} {reach: Heb. be}
And they shall be upon AaronH175, and upon his sonsH1121, when they comeH935 in unto the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150, or when they come nearH5066 unto the altarH4196 to ministerH8334 in the holyH6944 place; that they bearH5375 not iniquityH5771, and dieH4191: it shall be a statuteH2708 for everH5769 unto him and his seedH2233 afterH310 him.
InG1722 the beginningG746 wasG2258 the WordG3056, andG2532 the WordG3056 wasG2258 withG4314 GodG2316, andG2532 the WordG3056 wasG2258 GodG2316.
The sameG3778 wasG2258 inG1722 the beginningG746 withG4314 GodG2316.
All thingsG3956 were madeG1096 byG1223 himG846; andG2532 withoutG5565 himG846 wasG1096 notG3761 any thingG1520 madeG1096 thatG3739 was madeG1096.
AndG2532 the WordG3056 was madeG1096 fleshG4561, andG2532 dweltG4637 amongG1722 usG2254, (andG2532 we beheldG2300 hisG846 gloryG1391, the gloryG1391 asG5613 of the only begottenG3439 ofG3844 the FatherG3962,) fullG4134 of graceG5485 andG2532 truthG225.
WhoseG3739 are the fathersG3962, andG2532 ofG1537 whomG3739 as concerningG2596 the fleshG4561 ChristG5547 came, whoG5607 is overG1909 allG3956, GodG2316 blessedG2128 forG1519 everG165. AmenG281.
AndG2532 no manG3762 hath ascended upG305 toG1519 heavenG3772, butG1508 he that came downG2597 fromG1537 heavenG3772, even the SonG5207 of manG444 whichG3588 isG5607 inG1722 heavenG3772.
The firstG4413 manG444 is ofG1537 the earthG1093, earthyG5517: the secondG1208 manG444 is the LordG2962 fromG1537 heavenG3772.
SayingG3004, WhereG4226 isG2076 he that is bornG5088 KingG935 of the JewsG2453? forG1063 we have seenG1492 hisG846 starG792 inG1722 the eastG395, andG2532 are comeG2064 to worshipG4352 himG846.
PilateG4091 thereforeG3767 saidG2036 unto himG846, ArtG1488 thouG4771 a kingG935 thenG3766? JesusG2424 answeredG611, ThouG4771 sayestG3004 thatG3754 IG1473 amG1510 a kingG935. ToG1519 thisG5124 end wasG1080 IG1473 bornG1080, andG2532 forG1519 thisG5124 cause came IG2064 intoG1519 the worldG2889, thatG2443 I should bear witnessG3140 unto the truthG225. Every oneG3956 that isG5607 ofG1537 the truthG225 hearethG191 myG3450 voiceG5456.
ForG1063 thisG5124 isG2076 myG3450 bloodG129 of the newG2537 testamentG1242, whichG3588 is shedG1632 forG4012 manyG4183 forG1519 the remissionG859 of sinsG266.
NeitherG3761 byG1223 the bloodG129 of goatsG5131 andG2532 calvesG3448, butG1161 byG1223 his ownG2398 bloodG129 he entered inG1525 onceG2178 intoG1519 the holy placeG39, having obtainedG2147 eternalG166 redemptionG3085 for us.
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.
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 the WordG3056 was madeG1096 fleshG4561, andG2532 dweltG4637 amongG1722 usG2254, (andG2532 we beheldG2300 hisG846 gloryG1391, the gloryG1391 asG5613 of the only begottenG3439 ofG3844 the FatherG3962,) fullG4134 of graceG5485 andG2532 truthG225.
AndG2532 weG2249 believeG4100 andG2532 are sureG1097 thatG3754 thouG4771 artG1488 that ChristG5547, the SonG5207 of the livingG2198 GodG2316.
AndG2532 he that sentG3992 meG3165 isG2076 withG3326 meG1700: the FatherG3962 hathG863 notG3756 leftG863 meG3165 aloneG3441; forG3754 IG1473 doG4160 alwaysG3842 those things that pleaseG701 himG846.
And they did beatH7554 the goldH2091 intoH854 thin platesH6341, and cutH7112 it into wiresH6616, to workH6213+H8432 it in the blueH8504, and in the purpleH713, and in the scarletH8144+H8438, and in the fine linenH8336, with cunningH2803 workH4639.
ForG1063 suchG5108 an high priestG749 becameG4241 usG2254, who is holyG3741, harmlessG172, undefiledG283, separateG5563 fromG575 sinnersG268, andG2532 madeG1096 higher thanG5308 the heavensG3772;
ForG1063 suchG5108 an high priestG749 becameG4241 usG2254, who is holyG3741, harmlessG172, undefiledG283, separateG5563 fromG575 sinnersG268, andG2532 madeG1096 higher thanG5308 the heavensG3772;
ThoughG2539 he wereG5607 a SonG5207, yet learned heG3129 obedienceG5218 byG575 the things whichG3739 he sufferedG3958;
He shall put onH3847 the holyH6944 linenH906 coatH3801, and he shall have the linenH906 breechesH4370 upon his fleshH1320, and shall be girdedH2296 with a linenH906 girdleH73, and with the linenH906 mitreH4701 shall he be attiredH6801: theseH1992 are holyH6944 garmentsH899; therefore shall he washH7364 his fleshH1320 in waterH4325, and so put them onH3847.
AndG2532 weG2249 believeG4100 andG2532 are sureG1097 thatG3754 thouG4771 artG1488 that ChristG5547, the SonG5207 of the livingG2198 GodG2316.
ButG1161 ChristG5547 being comeG3854 an high priestG749 of good thingsG18 to comeG3195, byG1223 a greaterG3187 andG2532 more perfectG5046 tabernacleG4633, notG3756 made with handsG5499, that is to sayG5123, notG3756 of thisG5026 buildingG2937;
NeitherG3761 byG1223 the bloodG129 of goatsG5131 andG2532 calvesG3448, butG1161 byG1223 his ownG2398 bloodG129 he entered inG1525 onceG2178 intoG1519 the holy placeG39, having obtainedG2147 eternalG166 redemptionG3085 for us.
ForG1063 ifG1487 the bloodG129 of bullsG5022 andG2532 of goatsG5131, andG2532 the ashesG4700 of an heiferG1151 sprinklingG4472 the uncleanG2840, sanctifiethG37 toG4314 the purifyingG2514 of the fleshG4561:
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}
AndG2532 for thisG5124 causeG1223 he isG2076 the mediatorG3316 of the newG2537 testamentG1242, thatG3704 by meansG1096 of deathG2288, forG1519 the redemptionG629 of the transgressionsG3847 that were underG1909 the firstG4413 testamentG1242, they which are calledG2564 might receiveG2983 the promiseG1860 of eternalG166 inheritanceG2817.
ForG1063 whereG3699 a testamentG1242 is, there must also of necessityG318 beG5342 the deathG2288 of the testatorG1303. {be: or, be brought in}
ForG1063 a testamentG1242 is of forceG949 afterG1909 men are deadG3498: otherwiseG1893 it is ofG2480 noG3379 strengthG2480 at allG3379 whileG3753 the testatorG1303 livethG2198.
WhereuponG3606 neitherG3761 the firstG4413 testament was dedicatedG1457 withoutG5565 bloodG129. {dedicated: or, purified}
ForG1063 whenG5259 MosesG3475 had spokenG2980 everyG3956 preceptG1785 to allG3956 the peopleG2992 accordingG2596 to the lawG3551, he tookG2983 the bloodG129 of calvesG3448 andG2532 of goatsG5131, withG3326 waterG5204, andG2532 scarletG2847 woolG2053, andG2532 hyssopG5301, and sprinkledG4472 bothG5037 the bookG975+G846, andG2532 allG3956 the peopleG2992, {scarlet: or, purple}
SayingG3004, ThisG5124 is the bloodG129 of the testamentG1242 whichG3739 GodG2316 hath enjoinedG1781 untoG4314 youG5209.
MoreoverG1161+G3668 he sprinkledG4472 with bloodG129 bothG2532 the tabernacleG4633, andG2532 allG3956 the vesselsG4632 of the ministryG3009.
AndG2532 almostG4975 all thingsG3956 areG2511 byG2596 the lawG3551 purgedG2511 withG1722 bloodG129; andG2532 withoutG5565 shedding of bloodG130 isG1096 noG3756 remissionG859.
It was thereforeG3767 necessaryG318 that the patternsG5262 of thingsG3303 inG1722 the heavensG3772 should be purifiedG2511 with theseG5125; butG1161 the heavenly thingsG2032 themselvesG846 with betterG2909 sacrificesG2378 thanG3844 theseG5025.
ForG1063 ChristG5547 isG1525 notG3756 enteredG1525 intoG1519 the holy placesG39 made with handsG5499, which are the figuresG499 of the trueG228; butG235 intoG1519 heavenG3772 itselfG846, nowG3568 to appearG1718 in the presenceG4383 of GodG2316 forG5228 usG2257:
NorG3761 yet thatG2443 he should offerG4374 himselfG1438 oftenG4178, asG5618 the high priestG749 enterethG1525 intoG1519 the holy placeG39 everyG2596 yearG1763 withG1722 bloodG129 of othersG245;
For thenG1893 mustG1163 heG846 oftenG4178 have sufferedG3958 sinceG575 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889: butG1161 nowG3568 onceG530 inG1909 the endG4930 of the worldG165 hath he appearedG5319 toG1519 put awayG115 sinG266 byG1223 the sacrificeG2378 of himselfG846.
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.
BlowH8628 ye the trumpetH7782 in ZionH6726, and sound an alarmH7321 in my holyH6944 mountainH2022: let all the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 trembleH7264: for the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 comethH935, for it is nigh at handH7138; {trumpet: or, cornet}
A dayH3117 of darknessH2822 and of gloominessH653, a dayH3117 of cloudsH6051 and of thick darknessH6205, as the morningH7837 spreadH6566 upon the mountainsH2022: a greatH7227 peopleH5971 and a strongH6099; there hath not beenH1961 everH5769 the like, neither shall be any moreH3254 afterH310 it, even to the yearsH8141 of manyH1755 generationsH1755. {of many…: Heb. of generation and generation}
A fireH784 devourethH398 beforeH6440 them; and behindH310 them a flameH3852 burnethH3857: the landH776 is as the gardenH1588 of EdenH5731 beforeH6440 them, and behindH310 them a desolateH8077 wildernessH4057; yea, and nothing shall escapeH6413 them.
The appearanceH4758 of them is as the appearanceH4758 of horsesH5483; and as horsemenH6571, so shall they runH7323.
Like the noiseH6963 of chariotsH4818 on the topsH7218 of mountainsH2022 shall they leapH7540, like the noiseH6963 of a flameH3851 of fireH784 that devourethH398 the stubbleH7179, as a strongH6099 peopleH5971 set in battleH4421 arrayH6186.
Before their faceH6440 the peopleH5971 shall be much painedH2342: all facesH6440 shall gatherH6908 blacknessH6289. {blackness: Heb. pot}
They shall runH7323 like mighty menH1368; they shall climbH5927 the wallH2346 like menH582 of warH4421; and they shall marchH3212 every oneH376 on his waysH1870, and they shall not breakH5670 their ranksH734:
Neither shall oneH376 thrustH1766 anotherH251; they shall walkH3212 every oneH1397 in his pathH4546: and when they fallH5307 upon the swordH7973, they shall not be woundedH1214. {sword: or, dart}
They shall run to and froH8264 in the cityH5892; they shall runH7323 upon the wallH2346, they shall climb upH5927 upon the housesH1004; they shall enter inH935 at the windowsH2474 like a thiefH1590.
The earthH776 shall quakeH7264 beforeH6440 them; the heavensH8064 shall trembleH7493: the sunH8121 and the moonH3394 shall be darkH6937, and the starsH3556 shall withdrawH622 their shiningH5051:
And the LORDH3068 shall utterH5414 his voiceH6963 beforeH6440 his armyH2428: for his campH4264 is veryH3966 greatH7227: for he is strongH6099 that executethH6213 his wordH1697: for the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 is greatH1419 and veryH3966 terribleH3372; and who can abideH3557 it?
Therefore also now, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, turnH7725 ye even to me with all your heartH3824, and with fastingH6685, and with weepingH1065, and with mourningH4553:
And rendH7167 your heartH3824, and not your garmentsH899, and turnH7725 unto the LORDH3068 your GodH430: for he is graciousH2587 and mercifulH7349, slowH750 to angerH639, and of greatH7227 kindnessH2617, and repentethH5162 him of the evilH7451.
Who knowethH3045 if he will returnH7725 and repentH5162, and leaveH7604 a blessingH1293 behindH310 him; even a meat offeringH4503 and a drink offeringH5262 unto the LORDH3068 your GodH430?
BlowH8628 the trumpetH7782 in ZionH6726, sanctifyH6942 a fastH6685, callH7121 a solemn assemblyH6116:
GatherH622 the peopleH5971, sanctifyH6942 the congregationH6951, assembleH6908 the eldersH2205, gatherH622 the childrenH5768, and those that suckH3243 the breastsH7699: let the bridegroomH2860 go forthH3318 of his chamberH2315, and the brideH3618 out of her closetH2646.
Let the priestsH3548, the ministersH8334 of the LORDH3068, weepH1058 between the porchH197 and the altarH4196, and let them sayH559, SpareH2347 thy peopleH5971, O LORDH3068, and giveH5414 not thine heritageH5159 to reproachH2781, that the heathenH1471 should rule overH4910 them: wherefore should they sayH559 among the peopleH5971, Where is their GodH430? {rule over: or, use a byword against}
Then will the LORDH3068 be jealousH7065 for his landH776, and pityH2550 his peopleH5971.
Yea, the LORDH3068 will answerH6030 and sayH559 unto his peopleH5971, Behold, I will sendH7971 you cornH1715, and wineH8492, and oilH3323, and ye shall be satisfiedH7646 therewith: and I will no more makeH5414 you a reproachH2781 among the heathenH1471:
But I will remove far offH7368 from you the northernH6830 army, and will driveH5080 him into a landH776 barrenH6723 and desolateH8077, with his faceH6440 toward the eastH6931 seaH3220, and his hinder partH5490 toward the utmostH314 seaH3220, and his stinkH889 shall come upH5927, and his ill savourH6709 shall come upH5927, because he hath doneH6213 great thingsH1431. {hath…: Heb. hath magnified to do}
FearH3372 not, O landH127; be gladH1523 and rejoiceH8055: for the LORDH3068 will doH6213 great thingsH1431. {will…: Heb. hath magnified to do}
Be not afraidH3372, ye beastsH929 of the fieldH7704: for the pasturesH4999 of the wildernessH4057 do springH1876, for the treeH6086 bearethH5375 her fruitH6529, the fig treeH8384 and the vineH1612 do yieldH5414 their strengthH2428.
Be gladH1523 then, ye childrenH1121 of ZionH6726, and rejoiceH8055 in the LORDH3068 your GodH430: for he hath givenH5414 you the former rainH4175 moderatelyH6666, and he will cause to come downH3381 for you the rainH1653, the former rainH4175, and the latter rainH4456 in the firstH7223 month. {the former rain moderately: or, a teacher of righteousness} {moderately: Heb. according to righteousness}
And the floorsH1637 shall be fullH4390 of wheatH1250, and the fatsH3342 shall overflowH7783 with wineH8492 and oilH3323.
And I will restoreH7999 to you the yearsH8141 that the locustH697 hath eatenH398, the cankerwormH3218, and the caterpillerH2625, and the palmerwormH1501, my greatH1419 armyH2428 which I sentH7971 among you.
And ye shall eatH398 in plentyH398, and be satisfiedH7646, and praiseH1984 the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430, that hath dealtH6213 wondrouslyH6381 with you: and my peopleH5971 shall neverH5769 be ashamedH954.
And ye shall knowH3045 that I am in the midstH7130 of IsraelH3478, and that I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and none else: and my peopleH5971 shall neverH5769 be ashamedH954.
And it shall come to pass afterwardH310, that I will pour outH8210 my spiritH7307 upon all fleshH1320; and your sonsH1121 and your daughtersH1323 shall prophesyH5012, your old menH2205 shall dreamH2492 dreamsH2472, your young menH970 shall seeH7200 visionsH2384:
And also upon the servantsH5650 and upon the handmaidsH8198 in those daysH3117 will I pour outH8210 my spiritH7307.
And I will shewH5414 wondersH4159 in the heavensH8064 and in the earthH776, bloodH1818, and fireH784, and pillarsH8490 of smokeH6227.
The sunH8121 shall be turnedH2015 into darknessH2822, and the moonH3394 into bloodH1818, beforeH6440 the greatH1419 and the terribleH3372 dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 comeH935.
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall callH7121 on the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 shall be deliveredH4422: for in mountH2022 ZionH6726 and in JerusalemH3389 shall be deliveranceH6413, as the LORDH3068 hath saidH559, and in the remnantH8300 whom the LORDH3068 shall callH7121.
AndG2532 whenG1722 the dayG2250 of PentecostG4005 was fully comeG4845, they wereG2258 allG537 with one accordG3661 inG1909 one placeG846.
AndG2532 suddenlyG869 there cameG1096 a soundG2279 fromG1537 heavenG3772 asG5618 of a rushingG5342 mightyG972 windG4157, andG2532 it filledG4137 allG3650 the houseG3624 whereG3757 they wereG2258 sittingG2521.
AndG2532 there appearedG3700 unto themG846 clovenG1266 tonguesG1100 like asG5616 of fireG4442, andG5037 it satG2523 uponG1909 eachG1538+G1520 of themG846.
AndG2532 they wereG4130 allG537 filledG4130 with the HolyG40 GhostG4151, andG2532 beganG756 to speak withG2980 otherG2087 tonguesG1100, asG2531 the SpiritG4151 gaveG1325 themG846 utteranceG669.
AndG1161 there wereG2258 dwellingG2730 atG1722 JerusalemG2419 JewsG2453, devoutG2126 menG435, out ofG575 everyG3956 nationG1484 underG5259 heavenG3772.
NowG1161 when thisG5026 wasG1096 noised abroadG5456, the multitudeG4128 came togetherG4905, andG2532 were confoundedG4797, becauseG3754 that everyG1538 manG1520 heardG191 themG846 speakG2980 in his ownG2398 languageG1258. {was…: Gr. voice was made confounded: or, troubled in mind}
AndG1161 they wereG1839 allG3956 amazedG1839 andG2532 marvelledG2296, sayingG3004 one to anotherG4314+G240, BeholdG2400, areG1526 notG3756 allG3956 theseG3778 whichG3588 speakG2980 GalilaeansG1057?
AndG2532 howG4459 hearG191 weG2249 everyG1538 man in ourG2257 ownG2398 tongueG1258, whereinG1722+G3739 we were bornG1080?
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,
CretesG2912 andG2532 ArabiansG690, we do hearG191 themG846 speakG2980 in ourG2251 tonguesG1100 the wonderful worksG3167 of GodG2316.
AndG1161 they wereG1839 allG3956 amazedG1839, andG2532 were in doubtG1280, sayingG3004 oneG243 toG4314 anotherG243, WhatG5101 meanethG2309+G302+G1511 thisG5124?
OthersG2087 mockingG5512 saidG3004+G3754, These men areG1526 fullG3325 of new wineG1098.
ButG1161 PeterG4074, standing upG2476 withG4862 the elevenG1733, lifted upG1869 hisG846 voiceG5456, andG2532 saidG669 unto themG846, Ye menG435 of JudaeaG2453, andG2532 allG537 ye that dwellG2730 at JerusalemG2419, beG2077 thisG5124 knownG1110 unto youG5213, andG2532 hearkenG1801 to myG3450 wordsG4487:
ForG1063 theseG3778 areG3184 notG3756 drunkenG3184, asG5613 yeG5210 supposeG5274, seeingG1063 it isG2076 but the thirdG5154 hourG5610 of the dayG2250.
ButG235 thisG5124 isG2076 that which was spokenG2046 byG1223 the prophetG4396 JoelG2493;
AndG2532 it shall come to passG2071 inG1722 the lastG2078 daysG2250, saithG3004 GodG2316, I will pour outG1632 ofG575 myG3450 SpiritG4151 uponG1909 allG3956 fleshG4561: andG2532 yourG5216 sonsG5207 andG2532 yourG5216 daughtersG2364 shall prophesyG4395, andG2532 yourG5216 young menG3495 shall seeG3700 visionsG3706, andG2532 yourG5216 old menG4245 shall dreamG1797 dreamsG1798:
AndG2532+G1065 onG1909 myG3450 servantsG1401 andG2532 onG1909 myG3450 handmaidensG1399 I will pour outG1632 inG1722 thoseG1565 daysG2250 ofG575 myG3450 SpiritG4151; andG2532 they shall prophesyG4395:
AndG2532 I will shewG1325 wondersG5059 inG1722 heavenG3772 aboveG507, andG2532 signsG4592 inG1909 the earthG1093 beneathG2736; bloodG129, andG2532 fireG4442, andG2532 vapourG822 of smokeG2586:
The sunG2246 shall be turnedG3344 intoG1519 darknessG4655, andG2532 the moonG4582 intoG1519 bloodG129, beforeG2228+G4250 that greatG3173 andG2532 notableG2016 dayG2250 of the LordG2962 comeG2064:
AndG2532 it shall come to passG2071, that whosoeverG3739+G3956+G302 shall call onG1941 the nameG3686 of the LordG2962 shall be savedG4982.
Ye menG435 of IsraelG2475, hearG191 theseG5128 wordsG3056; JesusG2424 of NazarethG3480, a manG435 approvedG584 ofG575 GodG2316 amongG1519 youG5209 by miraclesG1411 andG2532 wondersG5059 andG2532 signsG4592, whichG3739 GodG2316 didG4160 byG1223 himG846 inG1722 the midstG3319 of youG5216, asG2531 ye yourselvesG846 alsoG2532 knowG1492:
HimG5126, being deliveredG1560 by the determinateG3724 counselG1012 andG2532 foreknowledgeG4268 of GodG2316, ye have takenG2983, and byG1223 wickedG459 handsG5495 have crucifiedG4362 and slainG337:
WhomG3739 GodG2316 hath raised upG450, having loosedG3089 the painsG5604 of deathG2288: becauseG2530 it wasG2258 notG3756 possibleG1415 that heG846 should be holdenG2902 ofG5259 itG846.
ForG1063 DavidG1138 speakethG3004 concerningG1519 himG846, I foresawG4308 the LordG2962 alwaysG1223+G3956 beforeG1799 myG3450 face, forG3754 he isG2076 onG1537 myG3450 right handG1188, thatG3363 I shouldG4531 notG3363 be movedG4531:
ThereforeG1223+G5124 didG2165 myG3450 heartG2588 rejoiceG2165, andG2532 myG3450 tongueG1100 was gladG21; moreoverG1161+G2089 alsoG2532 myG3450 fleshG4561 shall restG2681 inG1909 hopeG1680:
BecauseG3754 thou wiltG1459 notG3756 leaveG1459 myG3450 soulG5590 inG1519 hellG86, neitherG3761 wilt thou sufferG1325 thineG4675 Holy OneG3741 to seeG1492 corruptionG1312.
Thou hast made knownG1107 to meG3427 the waysG3598 of lifeG2222; thou shalt makeG4137 meG3165 fullG4137 of joyG2167 withG3326 thyG4675 countenanceG4383.
MenG435 and brethrenG80, letG2036 meG1832 freelyG3326+G3954 speakG2036 untoG4314 youG5209 ofG4012 the patriarchG3966 DavidG1138, thatG3754 he isG5053 bothG2532 deadG5053 andG2532 buriedG2290, andG2532 hisG846 sepulchreG3418 isG2076 withG1722 usG2254 untoG891 thisG5026 dayG2250. {let me: or, I may}
ThereforeG3767 beingG5225 a prophetG4396, andG2532 knowingG1492 thatG3754 GodG2316 had swornG3660 with an oathG3727 to himG846, that ofG1537 the fruitG2590 of hisG846 loinsG3751, according toG2596 the fleshG4561, he would raise upG450 ChristG5547 to sitG2523 onG1909 hisG846 throneG2362;
He seeing this beforeG4275 spakeG2980 ofG4012 the resurrectionG386 of ChristG5547, thatG3754 hisG846 soulG5590 wasG2641 notG3756 leftG2641 inG1519 hellG86, neitherG3761 hisG846 fleshG4561 did seeG1492 corruptionG1312.
ThisG5126 JesusG2424 hathG450 GodG2316 raised upG450, whereofG3739 weG2249 allG3956 areG2070 witnessesG3144.
ThereforeG3767 beingG5312 by the right handG1188 of GodG2316 exaltedG5312, andG5037 having receivedG2983 ofG3844 the FatherG3962 the promiseG1860 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151, he hath shed forthG1632 thisG5124, whichG3739 yeG5210 nowG3568 seeG991 andG2532 hearG191.
ForG1063 DavidG1138 is notG3756 ascendedG305 intoG1519 the heavensG3772: butG1161 he saithG3004 himselfG846, The LORDG2962 saidG2036 unto myG3450 LordG2962, Sit thouG2521 onG1537 myG3450 right handG1188,
UntilG2193 I makeG302+G5087 thyG4675 foesG2190 thyG4675 footstoolG4228+G5286.
ThereforeG3767 letG1097 allG3956 the houseG3624 of IsraelG2474 knowG1097 assuredlyG806, thatG3754 GodG2316 hath madeG4160 that sameG5126 JesusG2424, whomG3739 yeG5210 have crucifiedG4717, bothG2532 LordG2962 andG2532 ChristG5547.
NowG1161 when they heardG191 this, they were prickedG2660 in their heartG2588, andG5037 saidG2036 untoG4314 PeterG4074 andG2532 to the restG3062 of the apostlesG652, MenG435 and brethrenG80, whatG5101 shall we doG4160?
ThenG1161 PeterG4074 saidG5346 untoG4314 themG846, RepentG3340, andG2532 be baptizedG907 every oneG1538 of youG5216 inG1909 the nameG3686 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 forG1519 the remissionG859 of sinsG266, andG2532 ye shall receiveG2983 the giftG1431 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151.
ForG1063 the promiseG1860 isG2076 unto youG5213, andG2532 to yourG5216 childrenG5043, andG2532 to allG3956 that are afar offG1519+G3112, even as many asG3745 the LordG2962 ourG2257 GodG2316 shall callG302+G4341.
AndG5037 with manyG4119 otherG2087 wordsG3056 did he testifyG1263 andG2532 exhortG3870, sayingG3004, Save yourselvesG4982 fromG575 thisG5026 untowardG4646 generationG1074.
ThenG3303+G3767 they that gladlyG780 receivedG588 hisG846 wordG3056 were baptizedG907: andG2532 the sameG1565 dayG2250 there were addedG4369 unto them aboutG5616 three thousandG5153 soulsG5590.
AndG1161 they continuedG2258 stedfastlyG4342 in the apostles'G652 doctrineG1322 andG2532 fellowshipG2842, andG2532 in breakingG2800 of breadG740, andG2532 in prayersG4335.
AndG1161 fearG5401 came uponG1096 everyG3956 soulG5590: andG5037 manyG4183 wondersG5059 andG2532 signsG4592 were doneG1096 byG1223 the apostlesG652.
AndG1161 allG3956 that believedG4100 wereG2258 togetherG1909+G846, andG2532 hadG2192 all thingsG537 commonG2839;
AndG2532 soldG4097 their possessionsG2933 andG2532 goodsG5223, andG2532 partedG1266 themG846 to allG3956 men, asG2530 every manG5100 hadG302+G2192 needG5532.
AndG5037 they, continuingG4342 dailyG2596+G2250 with one accordG3661 inG1722 the templeG2411, andG5037 breakingG2806 breadG740 fromG2596 house to houseG3624, did eatG3335 their meatG5160 withG1722 gladnessG20 andG2532 singlenessG858 of heartG2588, {from…: or, at home}
PraisingG134 GodG2316, andG2532 havingG2192 favourG5485 withG4314 allG3650 the peopleG2992. AndG1161 the LordG2962 addedG4369 to the churchG1577 dailyG2596+G2250 such as should be savedG4982.
Now therefore, if ye will obeyH8085 my voiceH6963 indeedH8085, and keepH8104 my covenantH1285, then ye shall be a peculiar treasureH5459 unto me above all peopleH5971: for all the earthH776 is mine:
And ye shall be unto me a kingdomH4467 of priestsH3548, and an holyH6918 nationH1471. These are the wordsH1697 which thou shalt speakH1696 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
Now therefore, if ye will obeyH8085 my voiceH6963 indeedH8085, and keepH8104 my covenantH1285, then ye shall be a peculiar treasureH5459 unto me above all peopleH5971: for all the earthH776 is mine:
ButG1161 yeG5210 are a chosenG1588 generationG1085, a royalG934 priesthoodG2406, an holyG40 nationG1484, a peculiarG1519+G4047 peopleG2992; thatG3704 ye should shew forthG1804 the praisesG703 of him who hath calledG2564 youG5209 out ofG1537 darknessG4655 intoG1519 hisG846 marvellousG2298 lightG5457: {peculiar: or, purchased} {praises: or, virtues}
AndG2532 whenG1722 the dayG2250 of PentecostG4005 was fully comeG4845, they wereG2258 allG537 with one accordG3661 inG1909 one placeG846.
AndG2532 suddenlyG869 there cameG1096 a soundG2279 fromG1537 heavenG3772 asG5618 of a rushingG5342 mightyG972 windG4157, andG2532 it filledG4137 allG3650 the houseG3624 whereG3757 they wereG2258 sittingG2521.
AndG2532 there appearedG3700 unto themG846 clovenG1266 tonguesG1100 like asG5616 of fireG4442, andG5037 it satG2523 uponG1909 eachG1538+G1520 of themG846.
AndG2532 they wereG4130 allG537 filledG4130 with the HolyG40 GhostG4151, andG2532 beganG756 to speak withG2980 otherG2087 tonguesG1100, asG2531 the SpiritG4151 gaveG1325 themG846 utteranceG669.
AndG1161 there wereG2258 dwellingG2730 atG1722 JerusalemG2419 JewsG2453, devoutG2126 menG435, out ofG575 everyG3956 nationG1484 underG5259 heavenG3772.
NowG1161 when thisG5026 wasG1096 noised abroadG5456, the multitudeG4128 came togetherG4905, andG2532 were confoundedG4797, becauseG3754 that everyG1538 manG1520 heardG191 themG846 speakG2980 in his ownG2398 languageG1258. {was…: Gr. voice was made confounded: or, troubled in mind}
AndG1161 they wereG1839 allG3956 amazedG1839 andG2532 marvelledG2296, sayingG3004 one to anotherG4314+G240, BeholdG2400, areG1526 notG3756 allG3956 theseG3778 whichG3588 speakG2980 GalilaeansG1057?
AndG2532 howG4459 hearG191 weG2249 everyG1538 man in ourG2257 ownG2398 tongueG1258, whereinG1722+G3739 we were bornG1080?
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,
CretesG2912 andG2532 ArabiansG690, we do hearG191 themG846 speakG2980 in ourG2251 tonguesG1100 the wonderful worksG3167 of GodG2316.
AndG1161 they wereG1839 allG3956 amazedG1839, andG2532 were in doubtG1280, sayingG3004 oneG243 toG4314 anotherG243, WhatG5101 meanethG2309+G302+G1511 thisG5124?
OthersG2087 mockingG5512 saidG3004+G3754, These men areG1526 fullG3325 of new wineG1098.
ButG1161 PeterG4074, standing upG2476 withG4862 the elevenG1733, lifted upG1869 hisG846 voiceG5456, andG2532 saidG669 unto themG846, Ye menG435 of JudaeaG2453, andG2532 allG537 ye that dwellG2730 at JerusalemG2419, beG2077 thisG5124 knownG1110 unto youG5213, andG2532 hearkenG1801 to myG3450 wordsG4487:
ForG1063 theseG3778 areG3184 notG3756 drunkenG3184, asG5613 yeG5210 supposeG5274, seeingG1063 it isG2076 but the thirdG5154 hourG5610 of the dayG2250.
ButG235 thisG5124 isG2076 that which was spokenG2046 byG1223 the prophetG4396 JoelG2493;
AndG2532 it shall come to passG2071 inG1722 the lastG2078 daysG2250, saithG3004 GodG2316, I will pour outG1632 ofG575 myG3450 SpiritG4151 uponG1909 allG3956 fleshG4561: andG2532 yourG5216 sonsG5207 andG2532 yourG5216 daughtersG2364 shall prophesyG4395, andG2532 yourG5216 young menG3495 shall seeG3700 visionsG3706, andG2532 yourG5216 old menG4245 shall dreamG1797 dreamsG1798:
AndG2532+G1065 onG1909 myG3450 servantsG1401 andG2532 onG1909 myG3450 handmaidensG1399 I will pour outG1632 inG1722 thoseG1565 daysG2250 ofG575 myG3450 SpiritG4151; andG2532 they shall prophesyG4395:
AndG2532 I will shewG1325 wondersG5059 inG1722 heavenG3772 aboveG507, andG2532 signsG4592 inG1909 the earthG1093 beneathG2736; bloodG129, andG2532 fireG4442, andG2532 vapourG822 of smokeG2586:
The sunG2246 shall be turnedG3344 intoG1519 darknessG4655, andG2532 the moonG4582 intoG1519 bloodG129, beforeG2228+G4250 that greatG3173 andG2532 notableG2016 dayG2250 of the LordG2962 comeG2064:
AndG2532 it shall come to passG2071, that whosoeverG3739+G3956+G302 shall call onG1941 the nameG3686 of the LordG2962 shall be savedG4982.
Ye menG435 of IsraelG2475, hearG191 theseG5128 wordsG3056; JesusG2424 of NazarethG3480, a manG435 approvedG584 ofG575 GodG2316 amongG1519 youG5209 by miraclesG1411 andG2532 wondersG5059 andG2532 signsG4592, whichG3739 GodG2316 didG4160 byG1223 himG846 inG1722 the midstG3319 of youG5216, asG2531 ye yourselvesG846 alsoG2532 knowG1492:
HimG5126, being deliveredG1560 by the determinateG3724 counselG1012 andG2532 foreknowledgeG4268 of GodG2316, ye have takenG2983, and byG1223 wickedG459 handsG5495 have crucifiedG4362 and slainG337:
WhomG3739 GodG2316 hath raised upG450, having loosedG3089 the painsG5604 of deathG2288: becauseG2530 it wasG2258 notG3756 possibleG1415 that heG846 should be holdenG2902 ofG5259 itG846.
ForG1063 DavidG1138 speakethG3004 concerningG1519 himG846, I foresawG4308 the LordG2962 alwaysG1223+G3956 beforeG1799 myG3450 face, forG3754 he isG2076 onG1537 myG3450 right handG1188, thatG3363 I shouldG4531 notG3363 be movedG4531:
ThereforeG1223+G5124 didG2165 myG3450 heartG2588 rejoiceG2165, andG2532 myG3450 tongueG1100 was gladG21; moreoverG1161+G2089 alsoG2532 myG3450 fleshG4561 shall restG2681 inG1909 hopeG1680:
BecauseG3754 thou wiltG1459 notG3756 leaveG1459 myG3450 soulG5590 inG1519 hellG86, neitherG3761 wilt thou sufferG1325 thineG4675 Holy OneG3741 to seeG1492 corruptionG1312.
Thou hast made knownG1107 to meG3427 the waysG3598 of lifeG2222; thou shalt makeG4137 meG3165 fullG4137 of joyG2167 withG3326 thyG4675 countenanceG4383.
MenG435 and brethrenG80, letG2036 meG1832 freelyG3326+G3954 speakG2036 untoG4314 youG5209 ofG4012 the patriarchG3966 DavidG1138, thatG3754 he isG5053 bothG2532 deadG5053 andG2532 buriedG2290, andG2532 hisG846 sepulchreG3418 isG2076 withG1722 usG2254 untoG891 thisG5026 dayG2250. {let me: or, I may}
ThereforeG3767 beingG5225 a prophetG4396, andG2532 knowingG1492 thatG3754 GodG2316 had swornG3660 with an oathG3727 to himG846, that ofG1537 the fruitG2590 of hisG846 loinsG3751, according toG2596 the fleshG4561, he would raise upG450 ChristG5547 to sitG2523 onG1909 hisG846 throneG2362;
He seeing this beforeG4275 spakeG2980 ofG4012 the resurrectionG386 of ChristG5547, thatG3754 hisG846 soulG5590 wasG2641 notG3756 leftG2641 inG1519 hellG86, neitherG3761 hisG846 fleshG4561 did seeG1492 corruptionG1312.
ThisG5126 JesusG2424 hathG450 GodG2316 raised upG450, whereofG3739 weG2249 allG3956 areG2070 witnessesG3144.
ThereforeG3767 beingG5312 by the right handG1188 of GodG2316 exaltedG5312, andG5037 having receivedG2983 ofG3844 the FatherG3962 the promiseG1860 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151, he hath shed forthG1632 thisG5124, whichG3739 yeG5210 nowG3568 seeG991 andG2532 hearG191.
ForG1063 DavidG1138 is notG3756 ascendedG305 intoG1519 the heavensG3772: butG1161 he saithG3004 himselfG846, The LORDG2962 saidG2036 unto myG3450 LordG2962, Sit thouG2521 onG1537 myG3450 right handG1188,
UntilG2193 I makeG302+G5087 thyG4675 foesG2190 thyG4675 footstoolG4228+G5286.
ThereforeG3767 letG1097 allG3956 the houseG3624 of IsraelG2474 knowG1097 assuredlyG806, thatG3754 GodG2316 hath madeG4160 that sameG5126 JesusG2424, whomG3739 yeG5210 have crucifiedG4717, bothG2532 LordG2962 andG2532 ChristG5547.
NowG1161 when they heardG191 this, they were prickedG2660 in their heartG2588, andG5037 saidG2036 untoG4314 PeterG4074 andG2532 to the restG3062 of the apostlesG652, MenG435 and brethrenG80, whatG5101 shall we doG4160?
ThenG1161 PeterG4074 saidG5346 untoG4314 themG846, RepentG3340, andG2532 be baptizedG907 every oneG1538 of youG5216 inG1909 the nameG3686 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 forG1519 the remissionG859 of sinsG266, andG2532 ye shall receiveG2983 the giftG1431 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151.
ForG1063 the promiseG1860 isG2076 unto youG5213, andG2532 to yourG5216 childrenG5043, andG2532 to allG3956 that are afar offG1519+G3112, even as many asG3745 the LordG2962 ourG2257 GodG2316 shall callG302+G4341.
AndG5037 with manyG4119 otherG2087 wordsG3056 did he testifyG1263 andG2532 exhortG3870, sayingG3004, Save yourselvesG4982 fromG575 thisG5026 untowardG4646 generationG1074.
ThenG3303+G3767 they that gladlyG780 receivedG588 hisG846 wordG3056 were baptizedG907: andG2532 the sameG1565 dayG2250 there were addedG4369 unto them aboutG5616 three thousandG5153 soulsG5590.
AndG1161 they continuedG2258 stedfastlyG4342 in the apostles'G652 doctrineG1322 andG2532 fellowshipG2842, andG2532 in breakingG2800 of breadG740, andG2532 in prayersG4335.
AndG1161 fearG5401 came uponG1096 everyG3956 soulG5590: andG5037 manyG4183 wondersG5059 andG2532 signsG4592 were doneG1096 byG1223 the apostlesG652.
AndG1161 allG3956 that believedG4100 wereG2258 togetherG1909+G846, andG2532 hadG2192 all thingsG537 commonG2839;
AndG2532 soldG4097 their possessionsG2933 andG2532 goodsG5223, andG2532 partedG1266 themG846 to allG3956 men, asG2530 every manG5100 hadG302+G2192 needG5532.
AndG5037 they, continuingG4342 dailyG2596+G2250 with one accordG3661 inG1722 the templeG2411, andG5037 breakingG2806 breadG740 fromG2596 house to houseG3624, did eatG3335 their meatG5160 withG1722 gladnessG20 andG2532 singlenessG858 of heartG2588, {from…: or, at home}
PraisingG134 GodG2316, andG2532 havingG2192 favourG5485 withG4314 allG3650 the peopleG2992. AndG1161 the LordG2962 addedG4369 to the churchG1577 dailyG2596+G2250 such as should be savedG4982.
MyG3450 little childrenG5040, these thingsG5023 write IG1125 unto youG5213, thatG3363 ye sinG264 notG3363. AndG2532 ifG1437 any manG5100 sinG264, we haveG2192 an advocateG3875 withG4314 the FatherG3962, JesusG2424 ChristG5547 the righteousG1342:
(I stoodH5975 between the LORDH3068 and you at that timeH6256, to shewH5046 you the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068: for ye were afraidH3372 by reasonH6440 of the fireH784, and went not upH5927 into the mountH2022;) sayingH559,
Go thou nearH7126, and hearH8085 all that the LORDH3068 our GodH430 shall sayH559: and speakH1696 thou unto us all that the LORDH3068 our GodH430 shall speakH1696 unto thee; and we will hearH8085 it, and doH6213 it.
And MosesH4872 besoughtH2470+H6440 the LORDH3068 his GodH430, and saidH559, LORDH3068, why doth thy wrathH639 wax hotH2734 against thy peopleH5971, which thou hast brought forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 with greatH1419 powerH3581, and with a mightyH2389 handH3027? {the LORD: Heb. the face of the LORD}
Wherefore should the EgyptiansH4714 speakH559, and sayH559, For mischiefH7451 did he bringH3318 them out, to slayH2026 them in the mountainsH2022, and to consumeH3615 them from the faceH6440 of the earthH127? TurnH7725 from thy fierceH2740 wrathH639, and repentH5162 of this evilH7451 against thy peopleH5971.
RememberH2142 AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and IsraelH3478, thy servantsH5650, to whom thou swarestH7650 by thine own self, and saidstH1696 unto them, I will multiplyH7235 your seedH2233 as the starsH3556 of heavenH8064, and all this landH776 that I have spokenH559 of will I giveH5414 unto your seedH2233, and they shall inheritH5157 it for everH5769.
And the LORDH3068 repentedH5162 of the evilH7451 which he thoughtH1696 to doH6213 unto his peopleH5971.
And it came to pass on the morrowH4283, that MosesH4872 saidH559 unto the peopleH5971, Ye have sinnedH2398 a greatH1419 sinH2401: and now I will go upH5927 unto the LORDH3068; peradventureH194 I shall make an atonementH3722 forH1157 your sinH2403.
And MosesH4872 returnedH7725 unto the LORDH3068, and saidH559, OhH577, this peopleH5971 have sinnedH2398 a greatH1419 sinH2401, and have madeH6213 them godsH430 of goldH2091.
Yet now, if thou wilt forgiveH5375 their sinH2403--; and if not, blotH4229 me, I pray thee, out of thy bookH5612 which thou hast writtenH3789.
ButG1161 nowG3570 hath he obtainedG5177 a more excellentG1313 ministryG3009, by how muchG3745 alsoG2532 he isG2076 the mediatorG3316 of a betterG2909 covenantG1242, whichG3748 was establishedG3549 uponG1909 betterG2909 promisesG1860. {covenant: or, testament}
AndG2532 for thisG5124 causeG1223 he isG2076 the mediatorG3316 of the newG2537 testamentG1242, thatG3704 by meansG1096 of deathG2288, forG1519 the redemptionG629 of the transgressionsG3847 that were underG1909 the firstG4413 testamentG1242, they which are calledG2564 might receiveG2983 the promiseG1860 of eternalG166 inheritanceG2817.
AndG2532 to JesusG2424 the mediatorG3316 of the newG3501 covenantG1242, andG2532 to the bloodG129 of sprinklingG4473, that speakethG2980 better thingsG2909 thanG3844 that of AbelG6. {covenant: or, testament}
ForG1063 there is oneG1520 GodG2316, andG2532 oneG1520 mediatorG3316 between GodG2316 andG2532 menG444, the manG444 ChristG5547 JesusG2424;
ForG1063 thisG5124 is goodG2570 andG2532 acceptableG587 in the sightG1799 of GodG2316 ourG2257 SaviourG4990;
WhoG3739 will haveG2309 allG3956 menG444 to be savedG4982, andG2532 to comeG2064 untoG1519 the knowledgeG1922 of the truthG225.
WhereforeG5101 thenG3767 serveth the lawG3551? It was addedG4369 because ofG5484 transgressionsG3847, tillG891+G3739 the seedG4690 should comeG2064 to whomG3739 the promise was madeG1861; and it was ordainedG1299 byG1223 angelsG32 inG1722 the handG5495 of a mediatorG3316.
NowG1161 a mediatorG3316 isG2076 notG3756 a mediator of oneG1520, butG1161 GodG2316 isG2076 oneG1520.
ForG1063 there is oneG1520 GodG2316, andG2532 oneG1520 mediatorG3316 between GodG2316 andG2532 menG444, the manG444 ChristG5547 JesusG2424;
ButG1161 nowG3570 hath he obtainedG5177 a more excellentG1313 ministryG3009, by how muchG3745 alsoG2532 he isG2076 the mediatorG3316 of a betterG2909 covenantG1242, whichG3748 was establishedG3549 uponG1909 betterG2909 promisesG1860. {covenant: or, testament}
AndG2532 for thisG5124 causeG1223 he isG2076 the mediatorG3316 of the newG2537 testamentG1242, thatG3704 by meansG1096 of deathG2288, forG1519 the redemptionG629 of the transgressionsG3847 that were underG1909 the firstG4413 testamentG1242, they which are calledG2564 might receiveG2983 the promiseG1860 of eternalG166 inheritanceG2817.
AndG2532 to JesusG2424 the mediatorG3316 of the newG3501 covenantG1242, andG2532 to the bloodG129 of sprinklingG4473, that speakethG2980 better thingsG2909 thanG3844 that of AbelG6. {covenant: or, testament}
ForG1063 thisG3778 MelchisedecG3198, kingG935 of SalemG4532, priestG2409 of the most highG5310 GodG2316, whoG3588 metG4876 AbrahamG11 returningG5290 fromG575 the slaughterG2871 of the kingsG935, andG2532 blessedG2127 himG846;
To whomG3739 alsoG2532 AbrahamG11 gaveG3307 a tenth partG1181 ofG575 allG3956; firstG4412+G3303 being by interpretationG2059 KingG935 of righteousnessG1343, andG1161 after thatG1899 alsoG2532 KingG935 of SalemG4532, which isG3603, KingG935 of peaceG1515;
Without fatherG540, without motherG282, without descentG35, havingG2192 neitherG3383 beginningG746 of daysG2250, norG3383 endG5056 of lifeG2222; butG1161 made likeG871 unto the SonG5207 of GodG2316; abidethG3306 a priestG2409 continuallyG1519+G1336. {without descent: Gr. without pedigree}
NowG1161 considerG2334 how greatG4080 this manG3778 was, unto whomG3739 evenG2532 the patriarchG3966 AbrahamG11 gaveG1325 the tenthG1181 ofG1537 the spoilsG205.
AndG2532 verilyG3303 they that are ofG1537 the sonsG5207 of LeviG3017, whoG3588 receiveG2983 the office of the priesthoodG2405, haveG2192 a commandmentG1785 to take tithesG586 of the peopleG2992 according toG2596 the lawG3551, that isG5123, of theirG846 brethrenG80, thoughG2539 they comeG1831 out ofG1537 the loinsG3751 of AbrahamG11:
ButG1161 he whose descent isG1075 notG3361 countedG1075 fromG1537 themG846 received tithesG1183 of AbrahamG11, andG2532 blessedG2127 him that hadG2192 the promisesG1860. {descent: or, pedigree}
AndG1161 withoutG5565 allG3956 contradictionG485 the lessG1640 is blessedG2127 ofG5259 the betterG2909.
AndG2532 hereG5602+G3303 menG444 that dieG599 receiveG2983 tithesG1181; butG1161 thereG1563 he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessedG3140 thatG3754 he livethG2198.
AndG2532 asG5613 I may so sayG2031+G2036, LeviG3017 alsoG2532, whoG3588 receivethG2983 tithesG1181, payed tithesG1183 inG1223 AbrahamG11.
ForG1063 he wasG2258 yetG2089 inG1722 the loinsG3751 of his fatherG3962, whenG3753 MelchisedecG3198 metG4876 himG846.
IfG1487+G3303 thereforeG3767 perfectionG5050 wereG2258 byG1223 the LeviticalG3020 priesthoodG2420, (forG1063 underG1909 itG846 the peopleG2992 received the lawG3549,) whatG5101 furtherG2089 needG5532 was there that anotherG2087 priestG2409 should riseG450 afterG2596 the orderG5010 of MelchisedecG3198, andG2532 notG3756 be calledG3004 afterG2596 the orderG5010 of AaronG2?
ForG1063 the priesthoodG2420 being changedG3346, there is madeG1096 ofG1537 necessityG318 a changeG3331 alsoG2532 of the lawG3551.
ForG1063 he ofG1909 whomG3739 these thingsG5023 are spokenG3004 pertainethG3348 to anotherG2087 tribeG5443, ofG575 whichG3739 no manG3762 gave attendanceG4337 at the altarG2379.
ForG1063 it is evidentG4271 thatG3754 ourG2257 LordG2962 sprangG393 out ofG1537 JudaG2455; ofG1519 whichG3739 tribeG5443 MosesG3475 spakeG2980 nothingG3762 concerningG4012 priesthoodG2420.
AndG2532 it isG2076 yetG2089 far moreG4054 evidentG2612: forG1487 that afterG2596 the similitudeG3665 of MelchisedecG3198 there arisethG450 anotherG2087 priestG2409,
WhoG3739 is madeG1096, notG3756 afterG2596 the lawG3551 of a carnalG4559 commandmentG1785, butG235 afterG2596 the powerG1411 of an endlessG179 lifeG2222.
ForG1063 he testifiethG3140+G3754, ThouG4771 art a priestG2409 forG1519 everG165 afterG2596 the orderG5010 of MelchisedecG3198.
ForG1063 there isG1096 verilyG3303 a disannullingG115 of the commandmentG1785 going beforeG4254 forG1223 the weaknessG772 andG2532 unprofitablenessG512 thereofG846.
ForG1063 the lawG3551 madeG5048 nothingG3762 perfectG5048, butG1161 the bringing inG1898 of a betterG2909 hopeG1680 did; byG1223 the whichG3739 we draw nighG1448 unto GodG2316. {the bringing…: or, it was the bringing in}
AndG2532 inasmuch asG2596+G3745 notG3756 withoutG5565 an oathG3728 he was made priest:
(ForG1063 those priestsG2409 wereG3303+G1526 madeG1096 withoutG5565 an oathG3728; butG1161 this withG3326 an oathG3728 byG1223 him that saidG3004 untoG4314 himG846, The LordG2962 swareG3660 andG2532 willG3338 notG3756 repentG3338, ThouG4771 art a priestG2409 forG1519 everG165 afterG2596 the orderG5010 of MelchisedecG3198:) {without…: or, without swearing of an oath}
ByG2596 so muchG5118 wasG1096 JesusG2424 madeG1096 a suretyG1450 of a betterG2909 testamentG1242.
AndG2532 theyG1526 trulyG3303 wereG1526+G1096 manyG4119 priestsG2409, because they were not sufferedG2967 to continueG3887 by reason ofG1223 deathG2288:
ButG1161 this man, becauseG1223 heG846 continuethG3306 everG1519+G165, hathG2192 an unchangeableG531 priesthoodG2420. {an…: or, which passeth not from one to another}
WhereforeG3606 he is ableG1410 alsoG2532 to save themG4982 toG1519 the uttermostG3838 that comeG4334 unto GodG2316 byG1223 himG846, seeing he everG3842 livethG2198 toG1519 make intercessionG1793 forG5228 themG846. {to the…: or, evermore}
ForG1063 suchG5108 an high priestG749 becameG4241 usG2254, who is holyG3741, harmlessG172, undefiledG283, separateG5563 fromG575 sinnersG268, andG2532 madeG1096 higher thanG5308 the heavensG3772;
WhoG3739 needethG2192+G318 notG3756 dailyG2596+G2250, asG5618 those high priestsG749, to offer upG399 sacrificeG2378, firstG4386 forG5228 his ownG2398 sinsG266, and thenG1899 for the people'sG2992: forG1063 thisG5124 he didG4160 onceG2178, when he offered upG399 himselfG1438.
ForG1063 the lawG3551 makethG2525 menG444 high priestsG749 which haveG2192 infirmityG769; butG1161 the wordG3056 of the oathG3728, whichG3588 was sinceG3326 the lawG3551, maketh the SonG5207, who is consecratedG5048 forG1519 evermoreG165. {consecrated: Gr. perfected}
The LORDH3068 hath swornH7650, and will not repentH5162, Thou art a priestH3548 for everH5769 after the orderH1700 of MelchizedekH4442.
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.
Now therefore, if ye will obeyH8085 my voiceH6963 indeedH8085, and keepH8104 my covenantH1285, then ye shall be a peculiar treasureH5459 unto me above all peopleH5971: for all the earthH776 is mine:
And ye shall be unto me a kingdomH4467 of priestsH3548, and an holyH6918 nationH1471. These are the wordsH1697 which thou shalt speakH1696 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
ButG1161 yeG5210 are a chosenG1588 generationG1085, a royalG934 priesthoodG2406, an holyG40 nationG1484, a peculiarG1519+G4047 peopleG2992; thatG3704 ye should shew forthG1804 the praisesG703 of him who hath calledG2564 youG5209 out ofG1537 darknessG4655 intoG1519 hisG846 marvellousG2298 lightG5457: {peculiar: or, purchased} {praises: or, virtues}
ContinueG4342 in prayerG4335, and watchG1127 inG1722 the sameG846 withG1722 thanksgivingG2169;
WithalG260 prayingG4336 alsoG2532 forG4012 usG2257, thatG2443 GodG2316 would openG455 unto usG2254 a doorG2374 of utteranceG3056, to speakG2980 the mysteryG3466 of ChristG5547, forG1223 whichG3739 I amG1210 alsoG2532 in bondsG1210:
ThatG2443 I may makeG5319 itG846 manifestG5319, asG5613 IG3165 oughtG1163 to speakG2980.
WalkG4043 inG1722 wisdomG4678 towardG4314 them that are withoutG1854, redeemingG1805 the timeG2540.
Let yourG5216 speechG3056 be alwayG3842 withG1722 graceG5485, seasonedG741 with saltG217, that ye may knowG1492 howG4459 yeG5209 oughtG1163 to answerG611 everyG1538 manG1520.
I beseechG3870 youG5209 thereforeG3767, brethrenG80, byG1223 the merciesG3628 of GodG2316, that ye presentG3936 yourG5216 bodiesG4983 a livingG2198 sacrificeG2378, holyG40, acceptableG2101 unto GodG2316, which is yourG5216 reasonableG3050 serviceG2999.
AndG2532 beG4964 notG3361 conformedG4964 to thisG5129 worldG165: butG235 be ye transformedG3339 by the renewingG342 of yourG5216 mindG3563, thatG1519 yeG5209 may proveG1381 whatG5101 is that goodG18, andG2532 acceptableG2101, andG2532 perfectG5046, willG2307 of GodG2316.
ForG1063 I sayG3004, throughG1223 the graceG5485 givenG1325 unto meG3427, to every manG3956 that isG5607 amongG1722 youG5213, notG3361 to think of himself moreG3844 highlyG5252 thanG3739 he oughtG1163 to thinkG5426; butG235 to thinkG5426 soberlyG1519+G4993, according asG5613 GodG2316 hath dealtG3307 to every manG1538 the measureG3358 of faithG4102. {soberly: Gr. to sobriety}
ForG1063 asG2509 we haveG2192 manyG4183 membersG3196 inG1722 oneG1520 bodyG4983, andG1161 allG3956 membersG3196 haveG2192 notG3756 the sameG846 officeG4234:
SoG3779 weG2070, being manyG4183, areG2070 oneG1520 bodyG4983 inG1722 ChristG5547, andG1161 everyG2596 oneG1520 membersG3196 one of anotherG240.
HavingG2192 thenG1161 giftsG5486 differingG1313 accordingG2596 to the graceG5485 that is givenG1325 to usG2254, whetherG1535 prophecyG4394, let us prophesy accordingG2596 to the proportionG356 of faithG4102;
OrG1535 ministryG1248, let us wait onG1722 our ministeringG1248: orG1535 he that teachethG1321, onG1722 teachingG1319;
OrG1535 he that exhortethG3870, onG1722 exhortationG3874: he that givethG3330, let him do it withG1722 simplicityG572; he that rulethG4291, withG1722 diligenceG4710; he that sheweth mercyG1653, withG1722 cheerfulnessG2432. {giveth: or, imparteth} {with simplicity: or, liberally}
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.
The LORDH3068 hath swornH7650, and will not repentH5162, Thou art a priestH3548 for everH5769 after the orderH1700 of MelchizedekH4442.
NowG1161 weG2249 have receivedG2983, notG3756 the spiritG4151 of the worldG2889, butG235 the spiritG4151 whichG3588 is ofG1537 GodG2316; thatG2443 we might knowG1492 the things that are freely givenG5483 to usG2254 ofG5259 GodG2316.
ButG1161 this man, becauseG1223 heG846 continuethG3306 everG1519+G165, hathG2192 an unchangeableG531 priesthoodG2420. {an…: or, which passeth not from one to another}
WhereforeG3606 he is ableG1410 alsoG2532 to save themG4982 toG1519 the uttermostG3838 that comeG4334 unto GodG2316 byG1223 himG846, seeing he everG3842 livethG2198 toG1519 make intercessionG1793 forG5228 themG846. {to the…: or, evermore}
ForG1063 suchG5108 an high priestG749 becameG4241 usG2254, who is holyG3741, harmlessG172, undefiledG283, separateG5563 fromG575 sinnersG268, andG2532 madeG1096 higher thanG5308 the heavensG3772;
WhoG3739 needethG2192+G318 notG3756 dailyG2596+G2250, asG5618 those high priestsG749, to offer upG399 sacrificeG2378, firstG4386 forG5228 his ownG2398 sinsG266, and thenG1899 for the people'sG2992: forG1063 thisG5124 he didG4160 onceG2178, when he offered upG399 himselfG1438.
ForG1063 the lawG3551 makethG2525 menG444 high priestsG749 which haveG2192 infirmityG769; butG1161 the wordG3056 of the oathG3728, whichG3588 was sinceG3326 the lawG3551, maketh the SonG5207, who is consecratedG5048 forG1519 evermoreG165. {consecrated: Gr. perfected}
