Verses 701–800 of 3420 (page 8 of 35)
וְלֹא הִכּוּם בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל כִּֽי-נִשְׁבְּעוּ לָהֶם נְשִׂיאֵי הָֽעֵדָה בַּֽיהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיִּלֹּנוּ כָל-הָֽעֵדָה עַל-הַנְּשִׂיאִֽים׃
And the children of Israel smote them not, because the princes of the congregation had sworn unto them by the LORD God of Israel. And all the congregation murmured against the princes.
וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ כָל-הַנְּשִׂיאִים אֶל-כָּל-הָעֵדָה אֲנַחְנוּ נִשְׁבַּעְנוּ לָהֶם בַּֽיהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְעַתָּה לֹא נוּכַל לִנְגֹּעַ בָּהֶֽם׃
But all the princes said unto all the congregation, We have sworn unto them by the LORD God of Israel: now therefore we may not touch them.
וְעַתָּה אֲרוּרִים אַתֶּם וְלֹֽא-יִכָּרֵת מִכֶּם עֶבֶד וְחֹֽטְבֵי עֵצִים וְשֹֽׁאֲבֵי-מַיִם לְבֵית אֱלֹהָֽי׃
Now therefore ye are cursed, and there shall none of you be freed from being bondmen, and hewers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God.
וַיַּֽעֲנוּ אֶת-יְהוֹשֻׁעַ וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ כִּי הֻגֵּד הֻגַּד לַֽעֲבָדֶיךָ אֵת אֲשֶׁר צִוָּה יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ אֶת-מֹשֶׁה עַבְדּוֹ לָתֵת לָכֶם אֶת-כָּל-הָאָרֶץ וּלְהַשְׁמִיד אֶת-כָּל-יֹֽשְׁבֵי הָאָרֶץ מִפְּנֵיכֶם וַנִּירָא מְאֹד לְנַפְשֹׁתֵינוּ מִפְּנֵיכֶם וַֽנַּעֲשֵׂה אֶת-הַדָּבָר הַזֶּֽה׃
And they answered Joshua, and said, Because it was certainly told thy servants, how that the LORD thy God commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you, therefore we were sore afraid of our lives because of you, and have done this thing.
וְאַתֶּם אַֽל-תַּעֲמֹדוּ רִדְפוּ אַֽחֲרֵי אֹֽיְבֵיכֶם וְזִנַּבְתֶּם אוֹתָם אַֽל-תִּתְּנוּם לָבוֹא אֶל-עָרֵיהֶם כִּי נְתָנָם יְהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם בְּיֶדְכֶֽם׃
And stay ye not, but pursue after your enemies, and smite the hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their cities: for the LORD your God hath delivered them into your hand.
וַיַּכֶּה יְהוֹשֻׁעַ אֶת-כָּל-הָאָרֶץ הָהָר וְהַנֶּגֶב וְהַשְּׁפֵלָה וְהָֽאֲשֵׁדוֹת וְאֵת כָּל-מַלְכֵיהֶם לֹא הִשְׁאִיר שָׂרִיד וְאֵת כָּל-הַנְּשָׁמָה הֶֽחֱרִים כַּֽאֲשֶׁר צִוָּה יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
So Joshua smote all the country of the hills, and of the south, and of the vale, and of the springs, and all their kings: he left none remaining, but utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the LORD God of Israel commanded.
וְאֵת כָּל-הַמְּלָכִים הָאֵלֶּה וְאֶת-אַרְצָם לָכַד יְהוֹשֻׁעַ פַּעַם אֶחָת כִּי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל נִלְחָם לְיִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And all these kings and their land did Joshua take at one time, because the LORD God of Israel fought for Israel.
רַק לְשֵׁבֶט הַלֵּוִי לֹא נָתַן נַֽחֲלָה אִשֵּׁי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל הוּא נַֽחֲלָתוֹ כַּֽאֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר-לֽוֹ׃
Only unto the tribe of Levi he gave none inheritance; the sacrifices of the LORD God of Israel made by fire are their inheritance, as he said unto them.
וּלְשֵׁבֶט הַלֵּוִי לֹֽא-נָתַן מֹשֶׁה נַֽחֲלָה יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל הוּא נַֽחֲלָתָם כַּֽאֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר לָהֶֽם׃
But unto the tribe of Levi Moses gave not any inheritance: the LORD God of Israel was their inheritance, as he said unto them.
וַיִּגְּשׁוּ בְנֵֽי-יְהוּדָה אֶל-יְהוֹשֻׁעַ בַּגִּלְגָּל וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו כָּלֵב בֶּן-יְפֻנֶּה הַקְּנִזִּי אַתָּה יָדַעְתָּ אֶֽת-הַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר-דִּבֶּר יְהוָה אֶל-מֹשֶׁה אִישׁ-הָֽאֱלֹהִים עַל אֹֽדוֹתַי וְעַל אֹֽדוֹתֶיךָ בְּקָדֵשׁ בַּרְנֵֽעַ׃
Then the children of Judah came unto Joshua in Gilgal: and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite said unto him, Thou knowest the thing that the LORD said unto Moses the man of God concerning me and thee in Kadesh-barnea.
וְאַחַי אֲשֶׁר עָלוּ עִמִּי הִמְסִיו אֶת-לֵב הָעָם וְאָֽנֹכִי מִלֵּאתִי אַֽחֲרֵי יְהוָה אֱלֹהָֽי׃
Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people melt: but I wholly followed the LORD my God.
וַיִּשָּׁבַע מֹשֶׁה בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא לֵאמֹר אִם-לֹא הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר דָּֽרְכָה רַגְלְךָ בָּהּ לְךָ תִֽהְיֶה לְנַֽחֲלָה וּלְבָנֶיךָ עַד-עוֹלָם כִּי מִלֵּאתָ אַֽחֲרֵי יְהוָה אֱלֹהָֽי׃
And Moses sware on that day, saying, Surely the land whereon thy feet have trodden shall be thine inheritance, and thy children's for ever, because thou hast wholly followed the LORD my God.
עַל-כֵּן הָיְתָֽה-חֶבְרוֹן לְכָלֵב בֶּן-יְפֻנֶּה הַקְּנִזִּי לְֽנַחֲלָה עַד הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה יַעַן אֲשֶׁר מִלֵּא אַֽחֲרֵי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite unto this day, because that he wholly followed the LORD God of Israel.
וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוֹשֻׁעַ אֶל-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל עַד-אָנָה אַתֶּם מִתְרַפִּים לָבוֹא לָרֶשֶׁת אֶת-הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר נָתַן לָכֶם יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי אֲבֽוֹתֵיכֶֽם׃
And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, How long are ye slack to go to possess the land, which the LORD God of your fathers hath given you?
וְאַתֶּם תִּכְתְּבוּ אֶת-הָאָרֶץ שִׁבְעָה חֲלָקִים וַֽהֲבֵאתֶם אֵלַי הֵנָּה וְיָרִיתִי לָכֶם גּוֹרָל פֹּה לִפְנֵי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ׃
Ye shall therefore describe the land into seven parts, and bring the description hither to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the LORD our God.
לֹֽא-עֲזַבְתֶּם אֶת-אֲחֵיכֶם זֶה יָמִים רַבִּים עַד הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה וּשְׁמַרְתֶּם אֶת-מִשְׁמֶרֶת מִצְוַת יְהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶֽם׃
Ye have not left your brethren these many days unto this day, but have kept the charge of the commandment of the LORD your God.
וְעַתָּה הֵנִיחַ יְהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם לַֽאֲחֵיכֶם כַּֽאֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר לָהֶם וְעַתָּה פְּנוּ וּלְכוּ לָכֶם לְאָֽהֳלֵיכֶם אֶל-אֶרֶץ אֲחֻזַּתְכֶם אֲשֶׁר׀ נָתַן לָכֶם מֹשֶׁה עֶבֶד יְהוָה בְּעֵבֶר הַיַּרְדֵּֽן׃
And now the LORD your God hath given rest unto your brethren, as he promised them: therefore now return ye, and get you unto your tents, and unto the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you on the other side Jordan.
רַק׀ שִׁמְרוּ מְאֹד לַֽעֲשׂוֹת אֶת-הַמִּצְוָה וְאֶת-הַתּוֹרָה אֲשֶׁר צִוָּה אֶתְכֶם מֹשֶׁה עֶֽבֶד-יְהוָה לְאַֽהֲבָה אֶת-יְהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם וְלָלֶכֶת בְּכָל-דְּרָכָיו וְלִשְׁמֹר מִצְוֹתָיו וּלְדָבְקָה-בוֹ וּלְעָבְדוֹ בְּכָל-לְבַבְכֶם וּבְכָל-נַפְשְׁכֶֽם׃
But take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of the LORD charged you, to love the LORD your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.
כֹּה אָֽמְרוּ כֹּל׀ עֲדַת יְהוָה מָֽה-הַמַּעַל הַזֶּה אֲשֶׁר מְעַלְתֶּם בֵּֽאלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לָשׁוּב הַיּוֹם מֵאַֽחֲרֵי יְהוָה בִּבְנֽוֹתְכֶם לָכֶם מִזְבֵּחַ לִמְרָדְכֶם הַיּוֹם בַּֽיהוָֽה׃
Thus saith the whole congregation of the LORD, What trespass is this that ye have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following the LORD, in that ye have builded you an altar, that ye might rebel this day against the LORD?
וְאַךְ אִם-טְמֵאָה אֶרֶץ אֲחֻזַּתְכֶם עִבְרוּ לָכֶם אֶל-אֶרֶץ אֲחֻזַּת יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר שָֽׁכַן-שָׁם מִשְׁכַּן יְהוָה וְהֵאָֽחֲזוּ בְּתוֹכֵנוּ וּבַֽיהוָה אַל-תִּמְרֹדוּ וְאֹתָנוּ אֶל-תִּמְרֹדוּ בִּבְנֹֽתְכֶם לָכֶם מִזְבֵּחַ מִֽבַּלְעֲדֵי מִזְבַּח יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ׃
Notwithstanding, if the land of your possession be unclean, then pass ye over unto the land of the possession of the LORD, wherein the LORD's tabernacle dwelleth, and take possession among us: but rebel not against the LORD, nor rebel against us, in building you an altar beside the altar of the LORD our God.
אֵל׀ אֱלֹהִים׀ יְהוָה אֵל׀ אֱלֹהִים׀ יְהוָה הוּא יֹדֵעַ וְיִשְׂרָאֵל הוּא יֵדָע אִם-בְּמֶרֶד וְאִם-בְּמַעַל בַּֽיהוָה אַל-תּֽוֹשִׁיעֵנוּ הַיּוֹם הַזֶּֽה׃
The LORD God of gods, the LORD God of gods, he knoweth, and Israel he shall know; if it be in rebellion, or if in transgression against the LORD, (save us not this day,)
וְאִם-לֹא מִדְּאָגָה מִדָּבָר עָשִׂינוּ אֶת-זֹאת לֵאמֹר מָחָר יֹֽאמְרוּ בְנֵיכֶם לְבָנֵינוּ לֵאמֹר מַה-לָּכֶם וְלַֽיהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And if we have not rather done it for fear of this thing, saying, In time to come your children might speak unto our children, saying, What have ye to do with the LORD God of Israel?
חָלִילָה לָּנוּ מִמֶּנּוּ לִמְרֹד בַּֽיהוָה וְלָשׁוּב הַיּוֹם מֵאַֽחֲרֵי יְהוָה לִבְנוֹת מִזְבֵּחַ לְעֹלָה לְמִנְחָה וּלְזָבַח מִלְּבַד מִזְבַּח יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ אֲשֶׁר לִפְנֵי מִשְׁכָּנֽוֹ׃
God forbid that we should rebel against the LORD, and turn this day from following the LORD, to build an altar for burnt offerings, for meat offerings, or for sacrifices, beside the altar of the LORD our God that is before his tabernacle.
וַיִּיטַב הַדָּבָר בְּעֵינֵי בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיְבָֽרְכוּ אֱלֹהִים בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְלֹא אָֽמְרוּ לַֽעֲלוֹת עֲלֵיהֶם לַצָּבָא לְשַׁחֵת אֶת-הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר בְּנֵֽי-רְאוּבֵן וּבְנֵי-גָד יֹֽשְׁבִים בָּֽהּ׃
And the thing pleased the children of Israel; and the children of Israel blessed God, and did not intend to go up against them in battle, to destroy the land wherein the children of Reuben and Gad dwelt.
וַֽיִּקְרְאוּ בְּנֵֽי-רְאוּבֵן וּבְנֵי-גָד לַמִּזְבֵּחַ כִּי עֵד הוּא בֵּֽינֹתֵינוּ כִּי יְהוָה הָֽאֱלֹהִֽים׃
And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad called the altar Ed: for it shall be a witness between us that the LORD is God.
וְאַתֶּם רְאִיתֶם אֵת כָּל-אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה יְהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם לְכָל-הַגּוֹיִם הָאֵלֶּה מִפְּנֵיכֶם כִּי יְהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם הוּא הַנִּלְחָם לָכֶֽם׃
And ye have seen all that the LORD your God hath done unto all these nations because of you; for the LORD your God is he that hath fought for you.
וַֽיהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם הוּא יֶהְדֳּפֵם מִפְּנֵיכֶם וְהוֹרִישׁ אֹתָם מִלִּפְנֵיכֶם וִֽירִשְׁתֶּם אֶת-אַרְצָם כַּֽאֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר יְהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם לָכֶֽם׃
And the LORD your God, he shall expel them from before you, and drive them from out of your sight; and ye shall possess their land, as the LORD your God hath promised unto you.
לְבִלְתִּי-בוֹא בַּגּוֹיִם הָאֵלֶּה הַנִּשְׁאָרִים הָאֵלֶּה אִתְּכֶם וּבְשֵׁם אֱלֹֽהֵיהֶם לֹֽא-תַזְכִּירוּ וְלֹא תַשְׁבִּיעוּ וְלֹא תַֽעַבְדוּם וְלֹא תִֽשְׁתַּחֲווּ לָהֶֽם׃
That ye come not among these nations, these that remain among you; neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear by them, neither serve them, nor bow yourselves unto them:
כִּי אִם-בַּֽיהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם תִּדְבָּקוּ כַּֽאֲשֶׁר עֲשִׂיתֶם עַד הַיּוֹם הַזֶּֽה׃
But cleave unto the LORD your God, as ye have done unto this day.
אִישׁ-אֶחָד מִכֶּם יִרְדָּף-אָלֶף כִּי׀ יְהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם הוּא הַנִּלְחָם לָכֶם כַּֽאֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר לָכֶֽם׃
One man of you shall chase a thousand: for the LORD your God, he it is that fighteth for you, as he hath promised you.
וְנִשְׁמַרְתֶּם מְאֹד לְנַפְשֹֽׁתֵיכֶם לְאַֽהֲבָה אֶת-יְהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶֽם׃
Take good heed therefore unto yourselves, that ye love the LORD your God.
יָדוֹעַ תֵּֽדְעוּ כִּי לֹא יוֹסִיף יְהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם לְהוֹרִישׁ אֶת-הַגּוֹיִם הָאֵלֶּה מִלִּפְנֵיכֶם וְהָיוּ לָכֶם לְפַח וּלְמוֹקֵשׁ וּלְשֹׁטֵט בְּצִדֵּיכֶם וְלִצְנִנִים בְּעֵֽינֵיכֶם עַד-אֲבָדְכֶם מֵעַל הָֽאֲדָמָה הַטּוֹבָה הַזֹּאת אֲשֶׁר נָתַן לָכֶם יְהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶֽם׃
Know for a certainty that the LORD your God will no more drive out any of these nations from before you; but they shall be snares and traps unto you, and scourges in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you.
וְהִנֵּה אָֽנֹכִי הוֹלֵךְ הַיּוֹם בְּדֶרֶךְ כָּל-הָאָרֶץ וִֽידַעְתֶּם בְּכָל-לְבַבְכֶם וּבְכָל-נַפְשְׁכֶם כִּי לֹֽא-נָפַל דָּבָר אֶחָד מִכֹּל׀ הַדְּבָרִים הַטּוֹבִים אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר יְהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם עֲלֵיכֶם הַכֹּל בָּאוּ לָכֶם לֹֽא-נָפַל מִמֶּנּוּ דָּבָר אֶחָֽד׃
And, behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth: and ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing hath failed of all the good things which the LORD your God spake concerning you; all are come to pass unto you, and not one thing hath failed thereof.
וְהָיָה כַּֽאֲשֶׁר-בָּא עֲלֵיכֶם כָּל-הַדָּבָר הַטּוֹב אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר יְהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם אֲלֵיכֶם כֵּן יָבִיא יְהוָה עֲלֵיכֶם אֵת כָּל-הַדָּבָר הָרָע עַד-הַשְׁמִידוֹ אֽוֹתְכֶם מֵעַל הָֽאֲדָמָה הַטּוֹבָה הַזֹּאת אֲשֶׁר נָתַן לָכֶם יְהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶֽם׃
Therefore it shall come to pass, that as all good things are come upon you, which the LORD your God promised you; so shall the LORD bring upon you all evil things, until he have destroyed you from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you.
בְּעָבְרְכֶם אֶת-בְּרִית יְהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם אֲשֶׁר צִוָּה אֶתְכֶם וַֽהֲלַכְתֶּם וַֽעֲבַדְתֶּם אֱלֹהִים אֲחֵרִים וְהִשְׁתַּֽחֲוִיתֶם לָהֶם וְחָרָה אַף-יְהוָה בָּכֶם וַֽאֲבַדְתֶּם מְהֵרָה מֵעַל הָאָרֶץ הַטּוֹבָה אֲשֶׁר נָתַן לָכֶֽם׃
When ye have transgressed the covenant of the LORD your God, which he commanded you, and have gone and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them; then shall the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and ye shall perish quickly from off the good land which he hath given unto you.
וַיֶּֽאֱסֹף יְהוֹשֻׁעַ אֶת-כָּל-שִׁבְטֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל שְׁכֶמָה וַיִּקְרָא לְזִקְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וּלְרָאשָׁיו וּלְשֹֽׁפְטָיו וּלְשֹׁטְרָיו וַיִּֽתְיַצְּבוּ לִפְנֵי הָֽאֱלֹהִֽים׃
And Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and called for the elders of Israel, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers; and they presented themselves before God.
וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוֹשֻׁעַ אֶל-כָּל-הָעָם כֹּֽה-אָמַר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּעֵבֶר הַנָּהָר יָֽשְׁבוּ אֲבֽוֹתֵיכֶם מֵֽעוֹלָם תֶּרַח אֲבִי אַבְרָהָם וַֽאֲבִי נָחוֹר וַיַּֽעַבְדוּ אֱלֹהִים אֲחֵרִֽים׃
And Joshua said unto all the people, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Your fathers dwelt on the other side of the flood in old time, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nachor: and they served other gods.
וְעַתָּה יְראוּ אֶת-יְהוָה וְעִבְדוּ אֹתוֹ בְּתָמִים וּבֶֽאֱמֶת וְהָסִירוּ אֶת-אֱלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר עָֽבְדוּ אֲבֽוֹתֵיכֶם בְּעֵבֶר הַנָּהָר וּבְמִצְרַיִם וְעִבְדוּ אֶת-יְהוָֽה׃
Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD.
וְאִם רַע בְּֽעֵינֵיכֶם לַֽעֲבֹד אֶת-יְהוָה בַּֽחֲרוּ לָכֶם הַיּוֹם אֶת-מִי תַֽעֲבֹדוּן אִם אֶת-אֱלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר-עָֽבְדוּ אֲבֽוֹתֵיכֶם אֲשֶׁר (בעבר) מֵעֵבֶר הַנָּהָר וְאִם אֶת-אֱלֹהֵי הָֽאֱמֹרִי אֲשֶׁר אַתֶּם יֹֽשְׁבִים בְּאַרְצָם וְאָֽנֹכִי וּבֵיתִי נַֽעֲבֹד אֶת-יְהוָֽה׃
And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
וַיַּעַן הָעָם וַיֹּאמֶר חָלִילָה לָּנוּ מֵֽעֲזֹב אֶת-יְהוָה לַֽעֲבֹד אֱלֹהִים אֲחֵרִֽים׃
And the people answered and said, God forbid that we should forsake the LORD, to serve other gods;
כִּי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ הוּא הַמַּֽעֲלֶה אֹתָנוּ וְאֶת-אֲבוֹתֵינוּ מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם מִבֵּית עֲבָדִים וַֽאֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה לְעֵינֵינוּ אֶת-הָֽאֹתוֹת הַגְּדֹלוֹת הָאֵלֶּה וַֽיִּשְׁמְרֵנוּ בְּכָל-הַדֶּרֶךְ אֲשֶׁר הָלַכְנוּ בָהּ וּבְכֹל הָֽעַמִּים אֲשֶׁר עָבַרְנוּ בְּקִרְבָּֽם׃
For the LORD our God, he it is that brought up us and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and which did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way wherein we went, and among all the people through whom we passed:
וַיְגָרֶשׁ יְהוָה אֶת-כָּל-הָֽעַמִּים וְאֶת-הָֽאֱמֹרִי יֹשֵׁב הָאָרֶץ מִפָּנֵינוּ גַּם-אֲנַחְנוּ נַֽעֲבֹד אֶת-יְהוָה כִּי-הוּא אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ׃
And the LORD drave out from before us all the people, even the Amorites which dwelt in the land: therefore will we also serve the LORD; for he is our God.
וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוֹשֻׁעַ אֶל-הָעָם לֹא תֽוּכְלוּ לַֽעֲבֹד אֶת-יְהוָה כִּֽי-אֱלֹהִים קְדֹשִׁים הוּא אֵל-קַנּוֹא הוּא לֹֽא-יִשָּׂא לְפִשְׁעֲכֶם וּלְחַטֹּֽאותֵיכֶֽם׃
And Joshua said unto the people, Ye cannot serve the LORD: for he is an holy God; he is a jealous God; he will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins.
כִּי תַֽעַזְבוּ אֶת-יְהוָה וַֽעֲבַדְתֶּם אֱלֹהֵי נֵכָר וְשָׁב וְהֵרַע לָכֶם וְכִלָּה אֶתְכֶם אַֽחֲרֵי אֲשֶׁר-הֵיטִיב לָכֶֽם׃
If ye forsake the LORD, and serve strange gods, then he will turn and do you hurt, and consume you, after that he hath done you good.
וְעַתָּה הָסִירוּ אֶת-אֱלֹהֵי הַנֵּכָר אֲשֶׁר בְּקִרְבְּכֶם וְהַטּוּ אֶת-לְבַבְכֶם אֶל-יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
Now therefore put away, said he, the strange gods which are among you, and incline your heart unto the LORD God of Israel.
וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ הָעָם אֶל-יְהוֹשֻׁעַ אֶת-יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ נַֽעֲבֹד וּבְקוֹלוֹ נִשְׁמָֽע׃
And the people said unto Joshua, The LORD our God will we serve, and his voice will we obey.
וַיִּכְתֹּב יְהוֹשֻׁעַ אֶת-הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה בְּסֵפֶר תּוֹרַת אֱלֹהִים וַיִּקַּח אֶבֶן גְּדוֹלָה וַיְקִימֶהָ שָּׁם תַּחַת הָֽאַלָּה אֲשֶׁר בְּמִקְדַּשׁ יְהוָֽה׃
And Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God, and took a great stone, and set it up there under an oak, that was by the sanctuary of the LORD.
וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוֹשֻׁעַ אֶל-כָּל-הָעָם הִנֵּה הָאֶבֶן הַזֹּאת תִּֽהְיֶה-בָּנוּ לְעֵדָה כִּֽי-הִיא שָֽׁמְעָה אֵת כָּל-אִמְרֵי יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר עִמָּנוּ וְהָֽיְתָה בָכֶם לְעֵדָה פֶּֽן-תְּכַחֲשׁוּן בֵּאלֹֽהֵיכֶֽם׃
And Joshua said unto all the people, Behold, this stone shall be a witness unto us; for it hath heard all the words of the LORD which he spake unto us: it shall be therefore a witness unto you, lest ye deny your God.
וַיֹּאמֶר אֲדֹֽנִי-בֶזֶק שִׁבְעִים׀ מְלָכִים בְּֽהֹנוֹת יְדֵיהֶם וְרַגְלֵיהֶם מְקֻצָּצִים הָיוּ מְלַקְּטִים תַּחַת שֻׁלְחָנִי כַּֽאֲשֶׁר עָשִׂיתִי כֵּן שִׁלַּם-לִי אֱלֹהִים וַיְבִיאֻהוּ יְרֽוּשָׁלִַם וַיָּמָת שָֽׁם׃
And Adoni-bezek said, Threescore and ten kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered their meat under my table: as I have done, so God hath requited me. And they brought him to Jerusalem, and there he died.
וְגַם אָמַרְתִּי לֹֽא-אֲגָרֵשׁ אוֹתָם מִפְּנֵיכֶם וְהָיוּ לָכֶם לְצִדִּים וֵאלֹהֵיהֶם יִֽהְיוּ לָכֶם לְמוֹקֵֽשׁ׃
Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you.
וַיַּֽעַזְבוּ אֶת-יְהוָה׀ אֱלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתָם הַמּוֹצִיא אוֹתָם מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם וַיֵּֽלְכוּ אַֽחֲרֵי׀ אֱלֹהִים אֲחֵרִים מֵֽאֱלֹהֵי הָֽעַמִּים אֲשֶׁר סְבִיבוֹתֵיהֶם וַיִּֽשְׁתַּחֲווּ לָהֶם וַיַּכְעִסוּ אֶת-יְהוָֽה׃
And they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the people that were round about them, and bowed themselves unto them, and provoked the LORD to anger.
וְגַם אֶל-שֹֽׁפְטֵיהֶם לֹא שָׁמֵעוּ כִּי זָנוּ אַֽחֲרֵי אֱלֹהִים אֲחֵרִים וַיִּֽשְׁתַּחֲווּ לָהֶם סָרוּ מַהֵר מִן-הַדֶּרֶךְ אֲשֶׁר הָֽלְכוּ אֲבוֹתָם לִשְׁמֹעַ מִצְוֹת-יְהוָה לֹא-עָשׂוּ כֵֽן׃
And yet they would not hearken unto their judges, but they went a whoring after other gods, and bowed themselves unto them: they turned quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in, obeying the commandments of the LORD; but they did not so.
וְהָיָה׀ בְּמוֹת הַשּׁוֹפֵט יָשֻׁבוּ וְהִשְׁחִיתוּ מֵֽאֲבוֹתָם לָלֶכֶת אַֽחֲרֵי אֱלֹהִים אֲחֵרִים לְעָבְדָם וּלְהִשְׁתַּֽחֲוֹת לָהֶם לֹא הִפִּילוּ מִמַּעַלְלֵיהֶם וּמִדַּרְכָּם הַקָּשָֽׁה׃
And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they returned, and corrupted themselves more than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down unto them; they ceased not from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way.
וַיִּקְחוּ אֶת-בְּנֽוֹתֵיהֶם לָהֶם לְנָשִׁים וְאֶת-בְּנֽוֹתֵיהֶם נָֽתְנוּ לִבְנֵיהֶם וַיַּֽעַבְדוּ אֶת-אֱלֹֽהֵיהֶֽם׃
And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods.
וַיַּֽעֲשׂוּ בְנֵֽי-יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶת-הָרַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה וַֽיִּשְׁכְּחוּ אֶת-יְהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיהֶם וַיַּֽעַבְדוּ אֶת-הַבְּעָלִים וְאֶת-הָֽאֲשֵׁרֽוֹת׃
And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and forgat the LORD their God, and served Baalim and the groves.
וְאֵהוּד׀ בָּא אֵלָיו וְהֽוּא-יֹשֵׁב בַּֽעֲלִיַּת הַמְּקֵרָה אֲשֶׁר-לוֹ לְבַדּוֹ וַיֹּאמֶר אֵהוּד דְּבַר-אֱלֹהִים לִי אֵלֶיךָ וַיָּקָם מֵעַל הַכִּסֵּֽא׃
And Ehud came unto him; and he was sitting in a summer parlour, which he had for himself alone. And Ehud said, I have a message from God unto thee. And he arose out of his seat.
וַתִּשְׁלַח וַתִּקְרָא לְבָרָק בֶּן-אֲבִינֹעַם מִקֶּדֶשׁ נַפְתָּלִי וַתֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו הֲלֹא צִוָּה׀ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵֽי-יִשְׂרָאֵל לֵךְ וּמָֽשַׁכְתָּ בְּהַר תָּבוֹר וְלָֽקַחְתָּ עִמְּךָ עֲשֶׂרֶת אֲלָפִים אִישׁ מִבְּנֵי נַפְתָּלִי וּמִבְּנֵי זְבֻלֽוּן׃
And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedesh-naphtali, and said unto him, Hath not the LORD God of Israel commanded, saying, Go and draw toward mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun?
וַיַּכְנַע אֱלֹהִים בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא אֵת יָבִין מֶֽלֶךְ-כְּנָעַן לִפְנֵי בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
So God subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before the children of Israel.
שִׁמְעוּ מְלָכִים הַֽאֲזִינוּ רֹֽזְנִים אָֽנֹכִי לַֽיהוָה אָֽנֹכִי אָשִׁירָה אֲזַמֵּר לַֽיהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, even I, will sing unto the LORD; I will sing praise to the LORD God of Israel.
הָרִים נָֽזְלוּ מִפְּנֵי יְהוָה זֶה סִינַי מִפְּנֵי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
The mountains melted from before the LORD, even that Sinai from before the LORD God of Israel.
יִבְחַר אֱלֹהִים חֲדָשִׁים אָז לָחֶם שְׁעָרִים מָגֵן אִם-יֵֽרָאֶה וָרֹמַח בְּאַרְבָּעִים אֶלֶף בְּיִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
They chose new gods; then was war in the gates: was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?
וַיִּשְׁלַח יְהוָה אִישׁ נָבִיא אֶל-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם כֹּֽה-אָמַר יְהוָה׀ אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אָֽנֹכִי הֶֽעֱלֵיתִי אֶתְכֶם מִמִּצְרַיִם וָֽאֹצִיא אֶתְכֶם מִבֵּית עֲבָדִֽים׃
That the LORD sent a prophet unto the children of Israel, which said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I brought you up from Egypt, and brought you forth out of the house of bondage;
וָֽאֹמְרָה לָכֶם אֲנִי יְהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם לֹא תִֽירְאוּ אֶת-אֱלֹהֵי הָֽאֱמֹרִי אֲשֶׁר אַתֶּם יֽוֹשְׁבִים בְּאַרְצָם וְלֹא שְׁמַעְתֶּם בְּקוֹלִֽי׃
And I said unto you, I am the LORD your God; fear not the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but ye have not obeyed my voice.
וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו מַלְאַךְ הָֽאֱלֹהִים קַח אֶת-הַבָּשָׂר וְאֶת-הַמַּצּוֹת וְהַנַּח אֶל-הַסֶּלַע הַלָּז וְאֶת-הַמָּרַק שְׁפוֹךְ וַיַּעַשׂ כֵּֽן׃
And the angel of God said unto him, Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and lay them upon this rock, and pour out the broth. And he did so.
וּבָנִיתָ מִזְבֵּחַ לַֽיהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ עַל רֹאשׁ הַמָּעוֹז הַזֶּה בַּמַּֽעֲרָכָה וְלָֽקַחְתָּ אֶת-הַפָּר הַשֵּׁנִי וְהַֽעֲלִיתָ עוֹלָה בַּֽעֲצֵי הָֽאֲשֵׁרָה אֲשֶׁר תִּכְרֹֽת׃
And build an altar unto the LORD thy God upon the top of this rock, in the ordered place, and take the second bullock, and offer a burnt sacrifice with the wood of the grove which thou shalt cut down.
וַיֹּאמֶר יוֹאָשׁ לְכֹל אֲשֶׁר-עָֽמְדוּ עָלָיו הַֽאַתֶּם׀ תְּרִיבוּן לַבַּעַל אִם-אַתֶּם תּֽוֹשִׁיעוּן אוֹתוֹ אֲשֶׁר יָרִיב לוֹ יוּמַת עַד-הַבֹּקֶר אִם-אֱלֹהִים הוּא יָרֶב לוֹ כִּי נָתַץ אֶֽת-מִזְבְּחֽוֹ׃
And Joash said unto all that stood against him, Will ye plead for Baal? will ye save him? he that will plead for him, let him be put to death whilst it is yet morning: if he be a god, let him plead for himself, because one hath cast down his altar.
וַיֹּאמֶר גִּדְעוֹן אֶל-הָֽאֱלֹהִים אִם-יֶשְׁךָ מוֹשִׁיעַ בְּיָדִי אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵל כַּֽאֲשֶׁר דִּבַּֽרְתָּ׃
And Gideon said unto God, If thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said,
וַיֹּאמֶר גִּדְעוֹן אֶל-הָאֱלֹהִים אַל-יִחַר אַפְּךָ בִּי וַֽאֲדַבְּרָה אַךְ הַפָּעַם אֲנַסֶּה נָּא-רַק-הַפַּעַם בַּגִּזָּה יְהִי-נָא חֹרֶב אֶל-הַגִּזָּה לְבַדָּהּ וְעַל-כָּל-הָאָרֶץ יִֽהְיֶה-טָּֽל׃
And Gideon said unto God, Let not thine anger be hot against me, and I will speak but this once: let me prove, I pray thee, but this once with the fleece; let it now be dry only upon the fleece, and upon all the ground let there be dew.
וַיַּעַשׂ אֱלֹהִים כֵּן בַּלַּיְלָה הַהוּא וַֽיְהִי-חֹרֶב אֶל-הַגִּזָּה לְבַדָּהּ וְעַל-כָּל-הָאָרֶץ הָיָה טָֽל׃
And God did so that night: for it was dry upon the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground.
וַיַּעַן רֵעֵהוּ וַיֹּאמֶר אֵין זֹאת בִּלְתִּי אִם-חֶרֶב גִּדְעוֹן בֶּן-יוֹאָשׁ אִישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל נָתַן הָֽאֱלֹהִים בְּיָדוֹ אֶת-מִדְיָן וְאֶת-כָּל-הַֽמַּחֲנֶֽה׃
And his fellow answered and said, This is nothing else save the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel: for into his hand hath God delivered Midian, and all the host.
בְּיֶדְכֶם נָתַן אֱלֹהִים אֶת-שָׂרֵי מִדְיָן אֶת-עֹרֵב וְאֶת-זְאֵב וּמַה-יָּכֹלְתִּי עֲשׂוֹת כָּכֶם אָז רָֽפְתָה רוּחָם מֵֽעָלָיו בְּדַבְּרוֹ הַדָּבָר הַזֶּֽה׃
God hath delivered into your hands the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb: and what was I able to do in comparison of you? Then their anger was abated toward him, when he had said that.
וַיְהִי כַּֽאֲשֶׁר מֵת גִּדְעוֹן וַיָּשׁוּבוּ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיִּזְנוּ אַֽחֲרֵי הַבְּעָלִים וַיָּשִׂימוּ לָהֶם בַּעַל בְּרִית לֵֽאלֹהִֽים׃
And it came to pass, as soon as Gideon was dead, that the children of Israel turned again, and went a whoring after Baalim, and made Baal-berith their god.
וְלֹא זָֽכְרוּ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶת-יְהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיהֶם הַמַּצִּיל אוֹתָם מִיַּד כָּל-אֹֽיְבֵיהֶם מִסָּבִֽיב׃
And the children of Israel remembered not the LORD their God, who had delivered them out of the hands of all their enemies on every side:
וַיַּגִּדוּ לְיוֹתָם וַיֵּלֶךְ וַֽיַּעֲמֹד בְּרֹאשׁ הַר-גְּרִזִים וַיִּשָּׂא קוֹלוֹ וַיִּקְרָא וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם שִׁמְעוּ אֵלַי בַּֽעֲלֵי שְׁכֶם וְיִשְׁמַע אֲלֵיכֶם אֱלֹהִֽים׃
And when they told it to Jotham, he went and stood in the top of mount Gerizim, and lifted up his voice, and cried, and said unto them, Hearken unto me, ye men of Shechem, that God may hearken unto you.
וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם הַזַּיִת הֶֽחֳדַלְתִּי אֶת-דִּשְׁנִי אֲשֶׁר-בִּי יְכַבְּדוּ אֱלֹהִים וַֽאֲנָשִׁים וְהָלַכְתִּי לָנוּעַ עַל-הָֽעֵצִֽים׃
But the olive tree said unto them, Should I leave my fatness, wherewith by me they honour God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees?
וַתֹּאמֶר לָהֶם הַגֶּפֶן הֶֽחֳדַלְתִּי אֶת-תִּירוֹשִׁי הַֽמְשַׂמֵּחַ אֱלֹהִים וַֽאֲנָשִׁים וְהָלַכְתִּי לָנוּעַ עַל-הָֽעֵצִֽים׃
And the vine said unto them, Should I leave my wine, which cheereth God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees?
וַיִּשְׁלַח אֱלֹהִים רוּחַ רָעָה בֵּין אֲבִימֶלֶךְ וּבֵין בַּֽעֲלֵי שְׁכֶם וַיִּבְגְּדוּ בַֽעֲלֵי-שְׁכֶם בַּֽאֲבִימֶֽלֶךְ׃
Then God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem; and the men of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech:
וַיֵּֽצְאוּ הַשָּׂדֶה וַֽיִּבְצְרוּ אֶת-כַּרְמֵיהֶם וַֽיִּדְרְכוּ וַֽיַּעֲשׂוּ הִלּוּלִים וַיָּבֹאוּ בֵּית אֱֽלֹהֵיהֶם וַיֹּֽאכְלוּ וַיִּשְׁתּוּ וַֽיְקַלְלוּ אֶת-אֲבִימֶֽלֶךְ׃
And they went out into the fields, and gathered their vineyards, and trode the grapes, and made merry, and went into the house of their god, and did eat and drink, and cursed Abimelech.
וַיָּשֶׁב אֱלֹהִים אֵת רָעַת אֲבִימֶלֶךְ אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה לְאָבִיו לַֽהֲרֹג אֶת-שִׁבְעִים אֶחָֽיו׃
Thus God rendered the wickedness of Abimelech, which he did unto his father, in slaying his seventy brethren:
וְאֵת כָּל-רָעַת אַנְשֵׁי שְׁכֶם הֵשִׁיב אֱלֹהִים בְּרֹאשָׁם וַתָּבֹא אֲלֵיהֶם קִֽלֲלַת יוֹתָם בֶּן-יְרֻבָּֽעַל׃
And all the evil of the men of Shechem did God render upon their heads: and upon them came the curse of Jotham the son of Jerubbaal.
וַיֹּסִיפוּ׀ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לַֽעֲשׂוֹת הָרַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה וַיַּֽעַבְדוּ אֶת-הַבְּעָלִים וְאֶת-הָֽעַשְׁתָּרוֹת וְאֶת-אֱלֹהֵי אֲרָם וְאֶת-אֱלֹהֵי צִידוֹן וְאֵת׀ אֱלֹהֵי מוֹאָב וְאֵת אֱלֹהֵי בְנֵֽי-עַמּוֹן וְאֵת אֱלֹהֵי פְלִשְׁתִּים וַיַּֽעַזְבוּ אֶת-יְהוָה וְלֹא עֲבָדֽוּהוּ׃
And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and the gods of Syria, and the gods of Zidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines, and forsook the LORD, and served not him.
וַֽיִּזְעֲקוּ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל-יְהוָה לֵאמֹר חָטָאנוּ לָךְ וְכִי עָזַבְנוּ אֶת-אֱלֹהֵינוּ וַֽנַּעֲבֹד אֶת-הַבְּעָלִֽים׃
And the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, saying, We have sinned against thee, both because we have forsaken our God, and also served Baalim.
וְאַתֶּם עֲזַבְתֶּם אוֹתִי וַתַּֽעַבְדוּ אֱלֹהִים אֲחֵרִים לָכֵן לֹֽא-אוֹסִיף לְהוֹשִׁיעַ אֶתְכֶֽם׃
Yet ye have forsaken me, and served other gods: wherefore I will deliver you no more.
לְכוּ וְזַֽעֲקוּ אֶל-הָאֱלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר בְּחַרְתֶּם בָּם הֵמָּה יוֹשִׁיעוּ לָכֶם בְּעֵת צָֽרַתְכֶֽם׃
Go and cry unto the gods which ye have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of your tribulation.
וַיָּסִירוּ אֶת-אֱלֹהֵי הַנֵּכָר מִקִּרְבָּם וַיַּֽעַבְדוּ אֶת-יְהוָה וַתִּקְצַר נַפְשׁוֹ בַּֽעֲמַל יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And they put away the strange gods from among them, and served the LORD: and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel.
וַיִּתֵּן יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵֽי-יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶת-סִיחוֹן וְאֶת-כָּל-עַמּוֹ בְּיַד יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיַּכּוּם וַיִּירַשׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל אֵת כָּל-אֶרֶץ הָֽאֱמֹרִי יוֹשֵׁב הָאָרֶץ הַהִֽיא׃
And the LORD God of Israel delivered Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they smote them: so Israel possessed all the land of the Amorites, the inhabitants of that country.
וְעַתָּה יְהוָה׀ אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל הוֹרִישׁ אֶת-הָאֱמֹרִי מִפְּנֵי עַמּוֹ יִשְׂרָאֵל וְאַתָּה תִּֽירָשֶֽׁנּוּ׃
So now the LORD God of Israel hath dispossessed the Amorites from before his people Israel, and shouldest thou possess it?
הֲלֹא אֵת אֲשֶׁר יוֹרִֽישְׁךָ כְּמוֹשׁ אֱלֹהֶיךָ אוֹתוֹ תִירָשׁ וְאֵת כָּל-אֲשֶׁר הוֹרִישׁ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ מִפָּנֵינוּ אוֹתוֹ נִירָֽשׁ׃
Wilt not thou possess that which Chemosh thy god giveth thee to possess? So whomsoever the LORD our God shall drive out from before us, them will we possess.
כִּי הִנָּךְ הָרָה וְיֹלַדְתְּ בֵּן וּמוֹרָה לֹֽא-יַעֲלֶה עַל-רֹאשׁוֹ כִּֽי-נְזִיר אֱלֹהִים יִֽהְיֶה הַנַּעַר מִן-הַבָּטֶן וְהוּא יָחֵל לְהוֹשִׁיעַ אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵל מִיַּד פְּלִשְׁתִּֽים׃
For, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come on his head: for the child shall be a Nazarite unto God from the womb: and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.
וַתָּבֹא הָֽאִשָּׁה וַתֹּאמֶר לְאִישָׁהּ לֵאמֹר אִישׁ הָֽאֱלֹהִים בָּא אֵלַי וּמַרְאֵהוּ כְּמַרְאֵה מַלְאַךְ הָֽאֱלֹהִים נוֹרָא מְאֹד וְלֹא שְׁאִלְתִּיהוּ אֵֽי-מִזֶּה הוּא וְאֶת-שְׁמוֹ לֹֽא-הִגִּיד לִֽי׃
Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of God came unto me, and his countenance was like the countenance of an angel of God, very terrible: but I asked him not whence he was, neither told he me his name:
וַיֹּאמֶר לִי הִנָּךְ הָרָה וְיֹלַדְתְּ בֵּן וְעַתָּה אַל-תִּשְׁתִּי׀ יַיִן וְשֵׁכָר וְאַל-תֹּֽאכְלִי כָּל-טֻמְאָה כִּֽי-נְזִיר אֱלֹהִים יִֽהְיֶה הַנַּעַר מִן-הַבֶּטֶן עַד-יוֹם מוֹתֽוֹ׃
But he said unto me, Behold, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink, neither eat any unclean thing: for the child shall be a Nazarite to God from the womb to the day of his death.
וַיֶּעְתַּר מָנוֹחַ אֶל-יְהוָה וַיֹּאמַר בִּי אֲדוֹנָי אִישׁ הָֽאֱלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר שָׁלַחְתָּ יָבוֹא-נָא עוֹד אֵלֵינוּ וְיוֹרֵנוּ מַֽה-נַּעֲשֶׂה לַנַּעַר הַיּוּלָּֽד׃
Then Manoah intreated the LORD, and said, O my Lord, let the man of God which thou didst send come again unto us, and teach us what we shall do unto the child that shall be born.
וַיִּשְׁמַע הָֽאֱלֹהִים בְּקוֹל מָנוֹחַ וַיָּבֹא מַלְאַךְ הָֽאֱלֹהִים עוֹד אֶל-הָֽאִשָּׁה וְהִיא יוֹשֶׁבֶת בַּשָּׂדֶה וּמָנוֹחַ אִישָׁהּ אֵין עִמָּֽהּ׃
And God hearkened to the voice of Manoah; and the angel of God came again unto the woman as she sat in the field: but Manoah her husband was not with her.
וַיֹּאמֶר מָנוֹחַ אֶל-אִשְׁתּוֹ מוֹת נָמוּת כִּי אֱלֹהִים רָאִֽינוּ׃
And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God.
וַיִּבְקַע אֱלֹהִים אֶת-הַמַּכְתֵּשׁ אֲשֶׁר-בַּלֶּחִי וַיֵּֽצְאוּ מִמֶּנּוּ מַיִם וַיֵּשְׁתְּ וַתָּשָׁב רוּחוֹ וַיֶּחִי עַל-כֵּן׀ קָרָא שְׁמָהּ עֵין הַקּוֹרֵא אֲשֶׁר בַּלֶּחִי עַד הַיּוֹם הַזֶּֽה׃
But God clave an hollow place that was in the jaw, and there came water thereout; and when he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived: wherefore he called the name thereof En-hakkore, which is in Lehi unto this day.
וַיַּגֶּד-לָהּ אֶת-כָּל-לִבּוֹ וַיֹּאמֶר לָהּ מוֹרָה לֹֽא-עָלָה עַל-רֹאשִׁי כִּֽי-נְזִיר אֱלֹהִים אֲנִי מִבֶּטֶן אִמִּי אִם-גֻּלַּחְתִּי וְסָר מִמֶּנִּי כֹחִי וְחָלִיתִי וְהָיִיתִי כְּכָל-הָֽאָדָֽם׃
That he told her all his heart, and said unto her, There hath not come a razor upon mine head; for I have been a Nazarite unto God from my mother's womb: if I be shaven, then my strength will go from me, and I shall become weak, and be like any other man.
וְסַרְנֵי פְלִשְׁתִּים נֶֽאֱסְפוּ לִזְבֹּחַ זֶֽבַח-גָּדוֹל לְדָגוֹן אֱלֹֽהֵיהֶם וּלְשִׂמְחָה וַיֹּאמְרוּ נָתַן אֱלֹהֵינוּ בְּיָדֵנוּ אֵת שִׁמְשׁוֹן אֽוֹיְבֵֽנוּ׃
Then the lords of the Philistines gathered them together for to offer a great sacrifice unto Dagon their god, and to rejoice: for they said, Our god hath delivered Samson our enemy into our hand.
וַיִּרְאוּ אֹתוֹ הָעָם וַֽיְהַלְלוּ אֶת-אֱלֹֽהֵיהֶם כִּי אָֽמְרוּ נָתַן אֱלֹהֵינוּ בְיָדֵנוּ אֶת-אוֹיְבֵנוּ וְאֵת מַֽחֲרִיב אַרְצֵנוּ וַֽאֲשֶׁר הִרְבָּה אֶת-חֲלָלֵֽינוּ׃
And when the people saw him, they praised their god: for they said, Our god hath delivered into our hands our enemy, and the destroyer of our country, which slew many of us.
וַיִּקְרָא שִׁמְשׁוֹן אֶל-יְהוָה וַיֹּאמַר אֲדֹנָי יֱהוִֹה זָכְרֵנִי נָא וְחַזְּקֵנִי נָא אַךְ הַפַּעַם הַזֶּה הָֽאֱלֹהִים וְאִנָּֽקְמָה נְקַם-אַחַת מִשְּׁתֵי עֵינַי מִפְּלִשְׁתִּֽים׃
And Samson called unto the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes.
וְהָאִישׁ מִיכָה לוֹ בֵּית אֱלֹהִים וַיַּעַשׂ אֵפוֹד וּתְרָפִים וַיְמַלֵּא אֶת-יַד אַחַד מִבָּנָיו וַֽיְהִי-לוֹ לְכֹהֵֽן׃
And the man Micah had an house of gods, and made an ephod, and teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest.
