Every verse with Father
Verses 801–900 of 1432 (page 9 of 15)
כֹּל מִסְפַּר רָאשֵׁי הָֽאָבוֹת לְגִבּוֹרֵי חָיִל אַלְפַּיִם וְשֵׁשׁ מֵאֽוֹת׃
The whole number of the chief of the fathers of the mighty men of valour were two thousand and six hundred.
וַיִּשְׁכַּב עֻזִּיָּהוּ עִם-אֲבֹתָיו וַיִּקְבְּרוּ אֹתוֹ עִם-אֲבֹתָיו בִּשְׂדֵה הַקְּבוּרָה אֲשֶׁר לַמְּלָכִים כִּי אָֽמְרוּ מְצוֹרָע הוּא וַיִּמְלֹךְ יוֹתָם בְּנוֹ תַּחְתָּֽיו׃
So Uzziah slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in the field of the burial which belonged to the kings; for they said, He is a leper: and Jotham his son reigned in his stead.
וַיַּעַשׂ הַיָּשָׁר בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה כְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר-עָשָׂה עֻזִּיָּהוּ אָבִיו רַק לֹא-בָא אֶל-הֵיכַל יְהוָה וְעוֹד הָעָם מַשְׁחִיתִֽים׃
And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Uzziah did: howbeit he entered not into the temple of the LORD. And the people did yet corruptly.
וַיִּשְׁכַּב יוֹתָם עִם-אֲבֹתָיו וַיִּקְבְּרוּ אֹתוֹ בְּעִיר דָּוִיד וַיִּמְלֹךְ אָחָז בְּנוֹ תַּחְתָּֽיו׃
And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.
בֶּן-עֶשְׂרִים שָׁנָה אָחָז בְּמָלְכוֹ וְשֵׁשׁ-עֶשְׂרֵה שָׁנָה מָלַךְ בִּירֽוּשָׁלִָם וְלֹֽא-עָשָׂה הַיָּשָׁר בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה כְּדָוִיד אָבִֽיו׃
Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: but he did not that which was right in the sight of the LORD, like David his father:
וַיַּֽהֲרֹג פֶּקַח בֶּן-רְמַלְיָהוּ בִּֽיהוּדָה מֵאָה וְעֶשְׂרִים אֶלֶף בְּיוֹם אֶחָד הַכֹּל בְּנֵי-חָיִל בְּעָזְבָם אֶת-יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתָֽם׃
For Pekah the son of Remaliah slew in Judah an hundred and twenty thousand in one day, which were all valiant men; because they had forsaken the LORD God of their fathers.
וְשָׁם הָיָה נָבִיא לַֽיהוָה עֹדֵד שְׁמוֹ וַיֵּצֵא לִפְנֵי הַצָּבָא הַבָּא לְשֹֽׁמְרוֹן וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם הִנֵּה בַּֽחֲמַת יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵֽי-אֲבוֹתֵיכֶם עַל-יְהוּדָה נְתָנָם בְּיֶדְכֶם וַתַּֽהַרְגוּ-בָם בְזַעַף עַד לַשָּׁמַיִם הִגִּֽיעַ׃
But a prophet of the LORD was there, whose name was Oded: and he went out before the host that came to Samaria, and said unto them, Behold, because the LORD God of your fathers was wroth with Judah, he hath delivered them into your hand, and ye have slain them in a rage that reacheth up unto heaven.
וּבְכָל-עִיר וָעִיר לִֽיהוּדָה עָשָׂה בָמוֹת לְקַטֵּר לֵֽאלֹהִים אֲחֵרִים וַיַּכְעֵס אֶת-יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי אֲבֹתָֽיו׃
And in every several city of Judah he made high places to burn incense unto other gods, and provoked to anger the LORD God of his fathers.
וַיִּשְׁכַּב אָחָז עִם-אֲבֹתָיו וַֽיִּקְבְּרֻהוּ בָעִיר בִּירוּשָׁלִַם כִּי לֹא הֱבִיאֻהוּ לְקִבְרֵי מַלְכֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיִּמְלֹךְ יְחִזְקִיָּהֽוּ בְנוֹ תַּחְתָּֽיו׃
And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, even in Jerusalem: but they brought him not into the sepulchres of the kings of Israel: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead.
וַיַּעַשׂ הַיָּשָׁר בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה כְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר-עָשָׂה דָּוִיד אָבִֽיו׃
And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that David his father had done.
וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם שְׁמָעוּנִי הַלְוִיִּם עַתָּה הִֽתְקַדְּשׁוּ וְקַדְּשׁוּ אֶת-בֵּית יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי אֲבֹֽתֵיכֶם וְהוֹצִיאוּ אֶת-הַנִּדָּה מִן-הַקֹּֽדֶשׁ׃
And said unto them, Hear me, ye Levites, sanctify now yourselves, and sanctify the house of the LORD God of your fathers, and carry forth the filthiness out of the holy place.
כִּֽי-מָעֲלוּ אֲבֹתֵינוּ וְעָשׂוּ הָרַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָֽה-אֱלֹהֵינוּ וַיַּֽעַזְבֻהוּ וַיַּסֵּבּוּ פְנֵיהֶם מִמִּשְׁכַּן יְהוָה וַיִּתְּנוּ-עֹֽרֶף׃
For our fathers have trespassed, and done that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD our God, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of the LORD, and turned their backs.
וְהִנֵּה נָֽפְלוּ אֲבוֹתֵינוּ בֶּחָרֶב וּבָנֵינוּ וּבְנוֹתֵינוּ וְנָשֵׁינוּ בַּשְּׁבִי עַל-זֹֽאת׃
For, lo, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this.
וְאַל-תִּֽהְיוּ כַּאֲבֽוֹתֵיכֶם וְכַאֲחֵיכֶם אֲשֶׁר מָֽעֲלוּ בַּֽיהוָה אֱלֹהֵי אֲבֽוֹתֵיהֶם וַיִּתְּנֵם לְשַׁמָּה כַּֽאֲשֶׁר אַתֶּם רֹאִֽים׃
And be not ye like your fathers, and like your brethren, which trespassed against the LORD God of their fathers, who therefore gave them up to desolation, as ye see.
עַתָּה אַל-תַּקְשׁוּ עָרְפְּכֶם כַּאֲבֽוֹתֵיכֶם תְּנוּ-יָד לַֽיהוָה וּבֹאוּ לְמִקְדָּשׁוֹ אֲשֶׁר הִקְדִּישׁ לְעוֹלָם וְעִבְדוּ אֶת-יְהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם וְיָשֹׁב מִכֶּם חֲרוֹן אַפּֽוֹ׃
Now be ye not stiffnecked, as your fathers were, but yield yourselves unto the LORD, and enter into his sanctuary, which he hath sanctified for ever: and serve the LORD your God, that the fierceness of his wrath may turn away from you.
כָּל-לְבָבוֹ הֵכִין לִדְרוֹשׁ הָֽאֱלֹהִים׀ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתָיו וְלֹא כְּטָֽהֳרַת הַקֹּֽדֶשׁ׃
That prepareth his heart to seek God, the LORD God of his fathers, though he be not cleansed according to the purification of the sanctuary.
וַיְדַבֵּר יְחִזְקִיָּהוּ עַל-לֵב כָּל-הַלְוִיִּם הַמַּשְׂכִּילִים שֵֽׂכֶל-טוֹב לַֽיהוָה וַיֹּֽאכְלוּ אֶת-הַמּוֹעֵד שִׁבְעַת הַיָּמִים מְזַבְּחִים זִבְחֵי שְׁלָמִים וּמִתְוַדִּים לַֽיהוָה אֱלֹהֵי אֲבֽוֹתֵיהֶֽם׃
And Hezekiah spake comfortably unto all the Levites that taught the good knowledge of the LORD: and they did eat throughout the feast seven days, offering peace offerings, and making confession to the LORD God of their fathers.
וְאֵת הִתְיַחֵשׂ הַכֹּֽהֲנִים לְבֵית אֲבֽוֹתֵיהֶם וְהַלְוִיִּם מִבֶּן עֶשְׂרִים שָׁנָה וּלְמָעְלָה בְּמִשְׁמְרֽוֹתֵיהֶם בְּמַחְלְקֽוֹתֵיהֶֽם׃
Both to the genealogy of the priests by the house of their fathers, and the Levites from twenty years old and upward, in their charges by their courses;
הֲלֹא תֵֽדְעוּ מֶה עָשִׂיתִי אֲנִי וַֽאֲבוֹתַי לְכֹל עַמֵּי הָֽאֲרָצוֹת הֲיָכוֹל יָֽכְלוּ אֱלֹהֵי גּוֹיֵ הָֽאֲרָצוֹת לְהַצִּיל אֶת-אַרְצָם מִיָּדִֽי׃
Know ye not what I and my fathers have done unto all the people of other lands? were the gods of the nations of those lands any ways able to deliver their lands out of mine hand?
מִי בְּֽכָל-אֱלֹהֵי הַגּוֹיִם הָאֵלֶּה אֲשֶׁר הֶֽחֱרִימוּ אֲבוֹתַי אֲשֶׁר יָכוֹל לְהַצִּיל אֶת-עַמּוֹ מִיָּדִי כִּי יוּכַל אֱלֹהֵיכֶם לְהַצִּיל אֶתְכֶם מִיָּדִֽי׃
Who was there among all the gods of those nations that my fathers utterly destroyed, that could deliver his people out of mine hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out of mine hand?
וְעַתָּה אַל-יַשִּׁיא אֶתְכֶם חִזְקִיָּהוּ וְאַל-יַסִּית אֶתְכֶם כָּזֹאת וְאַל-תַּֽאֲמִינוּ לוֹ כִּי-לֹא יוּכַל כָּל-אֱלוֹהַ כָּל-גּוֹי וּמַמְלָכָה לְהַצִּיל עַמּוֹ מִיָּדִי וּמִיַּד אֲבוֹתָי אַף כִּי אֱֽלֹהֵיכֶם לֹֽא-יַצִּילוּ אֶתְכֶם מִיָּדִֽי׃
Now therefore let not Hezekiah deceive you, nor persuade you on this manner, neither yet believe him: for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of mine hand, and out of the hand of my fathers: how much less shall your God deliver you out of mine hand?
וַיִּשְׁכַּב יְחִזְקִיָּהוּ עִם-אֲבֹתָיו וַֽיִּקְבְּרֻהוּ בְּֽמַעֲלֵה קִבְרֵי בְנֵֽי-דָוִיד וְכָבוֹד עָֽשׂוּ-לוֹ בְמוֹתוֹ כָּל-יְהוּדָה וְיֹֽשְׁבֵי יְרֽוּשָׁלִָם וַיִּמְלֹךְ מְנַשֶּׁה בְנוֹ תַּחְתָּֽיו׃
And Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the chiefest of the sepulchres of the sons of David: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him honour at his death. And Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.
וַיָּשָׁב וַיִּבֶן אֶת-הַבָּמוֹת אֲשֶׁר נִתַּץ יְחִזְקִיָּהוּ אָבִיו וַיָּקֶם מִזְבְּחוֹת לַבְּעָלִים וַיַּעַשׂ אֲשֵׁרוֹת וַיִּשְׁתַּחוּ לְכָל-צְבָא הַשָּׁמַיִם וַֽיַּעֲבֹד אֹתָֽם׃
For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down, and he reared up altars for Baalim, and made groves, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.
וְלֹא אֹסִיף לְהָסִיר אֶת-רֶגֶל יִשְׂרָאֵל מֵעַל הָֽאֲדָמָה אֲשֶׁר הֶֽעֱמַדְתִּי לַאֲבֽוֹתֵיכֶם רַק׀ אִם-יִשְׁמְרוּ לַֽעֲשׂוֹת אֵת כָּל-אֲשֶׁר צִוִּיתִים לְכָל-הַתּוֹרָה וְהַֽחֻקִּים וְהַמִּשְׁפָּטִים בְּיַד-מֹשֶֽׁה׃
Neither will I any more remove the foot of Israel from out of the land which I have appointed for your fathers; so that they will take heed to do all that I have commanded them, according to the whole law and the statutes and the ordinances by the hand of Moses.
וּכְהָצֵר לוֹ חִלָּה אֶת-פְּנֵי יְהוָה אֱלֹהָיו וַיִּכָּנַע מְאֹד מִלִּפְנֵי אֱלֹהֵי אֲבֹתָֽיו׃
And when he was in affliction, he besought the LORD his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,
וַיִּשְׁכַּב מְנַשֶּׁה עִם-אֲבֹתָיו וַֽיִּקְבְּרֻהוּ בֵּיתוֹ וַיִּמְלֹךְ אָמוֹן בְּנוֹ תַּחְתָּֽיו׃
So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house: and Amon his son reigned in his stead.
וַיַּעַשׂ הָרַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה כַּֽאֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה מְנַשֶּׁה אָבִיו וּלְכָל-הַפְּסִילִים אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה מְנַשֶּׁה אָבִיו זִבַּח אָמוֹן וַיַּֽעַבְדֵֽם׃
But he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as did Manasseh his father: for Amon sacrificed unto all the carved images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them;
וְלֹא נִכְנַע מִלִּפְנֵי יְהוָה כְּהִכָּנַע מְנַשֶּׁה אָבִיו כִּי הוּא אָמוֹן הִרְבָּה אַשְׁמָֽה׃
And humbled not himself before the LORD, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but Amon trespassed more and more.
וַיַּעַשׂ הַיָּשָׁר בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה וַיֵּלֶךְ בְּדַרְכֵי דָּוִיד אָבִיו וְלֹא-סָר יָמִין וּשְׂמֹֽאול׃
And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the ways of David his father, and declined neither to the right hand, nor to the left.
וּבִשְׁמוֹנֶה שָׁנִים לְמָלְכוֹ וְהוּא עוֹדֶנּוּ נַעַר הֵחֵל לִדְרוֹשׁ לֵֽאלֹהֵי דָּוִיד אָבִיו וּבִשְׁתֵּים עֶשְׂרֵה שָׁנָה הֵחֵל לְטַהֵר אֶת-יְהוּדָה וִירוּשָׁלִַם מִן-הַבָּמוֹת וְהָאֲשֵׁרִים וְהַפְּסִלִים וְהַמַּסֵּכֽוֹת׃
For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet young, he began to seek after the God of David his father: and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, and the groves, and the carved images, and the molten images.
לְכוּ דִרְשׁוּ אֶת-יְהוָה בַּֽעֲדִי וּבְעַד הַנִּשְׁאָר בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל וּבִֽיהוּדָה עַל-דִּבְרֵי הַסֵּפֶר אֲשֶׁר נִמְצָא כִּֽי-גְדוֹלָה חֲמַת-יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר נִתְּכָה בָנוּ עַל אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא-שָׁמְרוּ אֲבוֹתֵינוּ אֶת-דְּבַר יְהוָה לַֽעֲשׂוֹת כְּכָל-הַכָּתוּב עַל-הַסֵּפֶר הַזֶּֽה׃
Go, inquire of the LORD for me, and for them that are left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book that is found: for great is the wrath of the LORD that is poured out upon us, because our fathers have not kept the word of the LORD, to do after all that is written in this book.
הִנְנִי אֹֽסִפְךָ אֶל-אֲבֹתֶיךָ וְנֶֽאֱסַפְתָּ אֶל-קִבְרוֹתֶיךָ בְּשָׁלוֹם וְלֹֽא-תִרְאֶינָה עֵינֶיךָ בְּכֹל הָֽרָעָה אֲשֶׁר אֲנִי מֵבִיא עַל-הַמָּקוֹם הַזֶּה וְעַל-יֹֽשְׁבָיו וַיָּשִׁיבוּ אֶת-הַמֶּלֶךְ דָּבָֽר׃
Behold, I will gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered to thy grave in peace, neither shall thine eyes see all the evil that I will bring upon this place, and upon the inhabitants of the same. So they brought the king word again.
וַיַּֽעֲמֵד אֵת כָּל-הַנִּמְצָא בִירֽוּשָׁלִַם וּבִנְיָמִן וַֽיַּעֲשׂוּ יוֹשְׁבֵי יְרֽוּשָׁלִַם כִּבְרִית אֱלֹהִים אֱלֹהֵי אֲבֽוֹתֵיהֶֽם׃
And he caused all that were present in Jerusalem and Benjamin to stand to it. And the inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of God, the God of their fathers.
וַיָּסַר יֹֽאשִׁיָּהוּ אֶת-כָּל-הַתֹּעֵבוֹת מִֽכָּל-הָאֲרָצוֹת אֲשֶׁר לִבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַֽיַּעֲבֵד אֵת כָּל-הַנִּמְצָא בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל לַֽעֲבוֹד אֶת-יְהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיהֶם כָּל-יָמָיו לֹא סָרוּ מֵֽאַחֲרֵי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי אֲבֽוֹתֵיהֶֽם׃
And Josiah took away all the abominations out of all the countries that pertained to the children of Israel, and made all that were present in Israel to serve, even to serve the LORD their God. And all his days they departed not from following the LORD, the God of their fathers.
וְהָכִונוּ לְבֵית-אֲבֽוֹתֵיכֶם כְּמַחְלְקֽוֹתֵיכֶם בִּכְתָב דָּוִיד מֶלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל וּבְמִכְתַּב שְׁלֹמֹה בְנֽוֹ׃
And prepare yourselves by the houses of your fathers, after your courses, according to the writing of David king of Israel, and according to the writing of Solomon his son.
וְעִמְדוּ בַקֹּדֶשׁ לִפְלוּגֹּת בֵּית הָֽאָבוֹת לַֽאֲחֵיכֶם בְּנֵי הָעָם וַֽחֲלֻקַּת בֵּֽית-אָב לַלְוִיִּֽם׃
And stand in the holy place according to the divisions of the families of the fathers of your brethren the people, and after the division of the families of the Levites.
וַיָּסִירוּ הָֽעֹלָה לְתִתָּם לְמִפְלַגּוֹת לְבֵית-אָבוֹת לִבְנֵי הָעָם לְהַקְרִיב לַֽיהוָה כַּכָּתוּב בְּסֵפֶר מֹשֶׁה וְכֵן לַבָּקָֽר׃
And they removed the burnt offerings, that they might give according to the divisions of the families of the people, to offer unto the LORD, as it is written in the book of Moses. And so did they with the oxen.
וַיַּֽעֲבִירֻהוּ עֲבָדָיו מִן-הַמֶּרְכָּבָה וַֽיַּרְכִּיבֻהוּ עַל רֶכֶב הַמִּשְׁנֶה אֲשֶׁר-לוֹ וַיּֽוֹלִיכֻהוּ יְרוּשָׁלִַם וַיָּמָת וַיִּקָּבֵר בְּקִבְרוֹת אֲבֹתָיו וְכָל-יְהוּדָה וִירוּשָׁלִַם מִֽתְאַבְּלִים עַל-יֹֽאשִׁיָּֽהוּ׃
His servants therefore took him out of that chariot, and put him in the second chariot that he had; and they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died, and was buried in one of the sepulchres of his fathers. And all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.
וַיִּקְחוּ עַם-הָאָרֶץ אֶת-יְהֽוֹאָחָז בֶּן-יֹֽאשִׁיָּהוּ וַיַּמְלִיכֻהוּ תַֽחַת-אָבִיו בִּירֽוּשָׁלִָֽם׃
Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in his father's stead in Jerusalem.
וַיִּשְׁלַח יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי אֲבֽוֹתֵיהֶם עֲלֵיהֶם בְּיַד מַלְאָכָיו הַשְׁכֵּם וְשָׁלוֹחַ כִּֽי-חָמַל עַל-עַמּוֹ וְעַל-מְעוֹנֽוֹ׃
And the LORD God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising up betimes, and sending; because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling place:
וַיָּקוּמוּ רָאשֵׁי הָֽאָבוֹת לִֽיהוּדָה וּבִנְיָמִן וְהַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם לְכֹל הֵעִיר הָֽאֱלֹהִים אֶת-רוּחוֹ לַֽעֲלוֹת לִבְנוֹת אֶת-בֵּית יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר בִּירֽוּשָׁלִָֽם׃
Then rose up the chief of the fathers of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, with all them whose spirit God had raised, to go up to build the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem.
וְאֵלֶּה הָֽעֹלִים מִתֵּל מֶלַח תֵּל חַרְשָׁא כְּרוּב אַדָּן אִמֵּר וְלֹא יָֽכְלוּ לְהַגִּיד בֵּית-אֲבוֹתָם וְזַרְעָם אִם מִיִּשְׂרָאֵל הֵֽם׃
And these were they which went up from Tel-melah, Tel-harsa, Cherub, Addan, and Immer: but they could not shew their father's house, and their seed, whether they were of Israel:
וּמֵֽרָאשֵׁי הָֽאָבוֹת בְּבוֹאָם לְבֵית יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר בִּירֽוּשָׁלִָם הִֽתְנַדְּבוּ לְבֵית הָֽאֱלֹהִים לְהַֽעֲמִידוֹ עַל-מְכוֹנֽוֹ׃
And some of the chief of the fathers, when they came to the house of the LORD which is at Jerusalem, offered freely for the house of God to set it up in his place:
וְרַבִּים מֵהַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם וְרָאשֵׁי הָֽאָבוֹת הַזְּקֵנִים אֲשֶׁר רָאוּ אֶת-הַבַּיִת הָֽרִאשׁוֹן בְּיָסְדוֹ זֶה הַבַּיִת בְּעֵינֵיהֶם בֹּכִים בְּקוֹל גָּדוֹל וְרַבִּים בִּתְרוּעָה בְשִׂמְחָה לְהָרִים קֽוֹל׃
But many of the priests and Levites and chief of the fathers, who were ancient men, that had seen the first house, when the foundation laid of this house was before their eyes, wept with a loud voice; and many shouted aloud for joy:
וַיִּגְּשׁוּ אֶל-זְרֻבָּבֶל וְאֶל-רָאשֵׁי הָֽאָבוֹת וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ לָהֶם נִבְנֶה עִמָּכֶם כִּי כָכֶם נִדְרוֹשׁ לֵֽאלֹהֵיכֶם (ולא) וְלוֹ׀ אֲנַחְנוּ זֹֽבְחִים מִימֵי אֵסַר חַדֹּן מֶלֶךְ אַשּׁוּר הַמַּֽעֲלֶה אֹתָנוּ פֹּֽה׃
Then they came to Zerubbabel, and to the chief of the fathers, and said unto them, Let us build with you: for we seek your God, as ye do; and we do sacrifice unto him since the days of Esar-haddon king of Assur, which brought us up hither.
וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם זְרֻבָּבֶל וְיֵשׁוּעַ וּשְׁאָר רָאשֵׁי הָֽאָבוֹת לְיִשְׂרָאֵל לֹֽא-לָכֶם וָלָנוּ לִבְנוֹת בַּיִת לֵֽאלֹהֵינוּ כִּי אֲנַחְנוּ יַחַד נִבְנֶה לַֽיהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל כַּֽאֲשֶׁר צִוָּנוּ הַמֶּלֶךְ כּוֹרֶשׁ מֶֽלֶךְ-פָּרָֽס׃
But Zerubbabel, and Jeshua, and the rest of the chief of the fathers of Israel, said unto them, Ye have nothing to do with us to build an house unto our God; but we ourselves together will build unto the LORD God of Israel, as king Cyrus the king of Persia hath commanded us.
בָּרוּךְ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתֵינוּ אֲשֶׁר נָתַן כָּזֹאת בְּלֵב הַמֶּלֶךְ לְפָאֵר אֶת-בֵּית יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר בִּירֽוּשָׁלִָֽם׃
Blessed be the LORD God of our fathers, which hath put such a thing as this in the king's heart, to beautify the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem:
וְאֵלֶּה רָאשֵׁי אֲבֹֽתֵיהֶם וְהִתְיַחְשָׂם הָֽעֹלִים עִמִּי בְּמַלְכוּת אַרְתַּחְשַׁסְתְּא הַמֶּלֶךְ מִבָּבֶֽל׃
These are now the chief of their fathers, and this is the genealogy of them that went up with me from Babylon, in the reign of Artaxerxes the king.
וָאֹֽמְרָה אֲלֵהֶם אַתֶּם קֹדֶשׁ לַֽיהוָה וְהַכֵּלִים קֹדֶשׁ וְהַכֶּסֶף וְהַזָּהָב נְדָבָה לַֽיהוָה אֱלֹהֵי אֲבֹֽתֵיכֶֽם׃
And I said unto them, Ye are holy unto the LORD; the vessels are holy also; and the silver and the gold are a freewill offering unto the LORD God of your fathers.
שִׁקְדוּ וְשִׁמְרוּ עַֽד-תִּשְׁקְלוּ לִפְנֵי שָׂרֵי הַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם וְשָׂרֵֽי-הָאָבוֹת לְיִשְׂרָאֵל בִּירֽוּשָׁלִָם הַלִּשְׁכוֹת בֵּית יְהוָֽה׃
Watch ye, and keep them, until ye weigh them before the chief of the priests and the Levites, and chief of the fathers of Israel, at Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of the LORD.
מִימֵי אֲבֹתֵינוּ אֲנַחְנוּ בְּאַשְׁמָה גְדֹלָה עַד הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה וּבַעֲוֺנֹתֵינוּ נִתַּנּוּ אֲנַחְנוּ מְלָכֵינוּ כֹֽהֲנֵינוּ בְּיַד׀ מַלְכֵי הָֽאֲרָצוֹת בַּחֶרֶב בַּשְּׁבִי וּבַבִּזָּה וּבְבֹשֶׁת פָּנִים כְּהַיּוֹם הַזֶּֽה׃
Since the days of our fathers have we been in a great trespass unto this day; and for our iniquities have we, our kings, and our priests, been delivered into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, and to a spoil, and to confusion of face, as it is this day.
וְעַתָּה תְּנוּ תוֹדָה לַֽיהוָה אֱלֹהֵֽי-אֲבֹתֵיכֶם וַֽעֲשׂוּ רְצוֹנוֹ וְהִבָּֽדְלוּ מֵֽעַמֵּי הָאָרֶץ וּמִן-הַנָּשִׁים הַנָּכְרִיּֽוֹת׃
Now therefore make confession unto the LORD God of your fathers, and do his pleasure: and separate yourselves from the people of the land, and from the strange wives.
וַיַּֽעֲשׂוּ-כֵן בְּנֵי הַגּוֹלָה וַיִּבָּֽדְלוּ עֶזְרָא הַכֹּהֵן אֲנָשִׁים רָאשֵׁי הָֽאָבוֹת לְבֵית אֲבֹתָם וְכֻלָּם בְּשֵׁמוֹת וַיֵּֽשְׁבוּ בְּיוֹם אֶחָד לַחֹדֶשׁ הָֽעֲשִׂירִי לְדַרְיוֹשׁ הַדָּבָֽר׃
And the children of the captivity did so. And Ezra the priest, with certain chief of the fathers, after the house of their fathers, and all of them by their names, were separated, and sat down in the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter.
תְּהִי נָא אָזְנְךָֽ-קַשֶּׁבֶת וְֽעֵינֶיךָ פְתֻוּחוֹת לִשְׁמֹעַ אֶל-תְּפִלַּת עַבְדְּךָ אֲשֶׁר אָֽנֹכִי מִתְפַּלֵּל לְפָנֶיךָ הַיּוֹם יוֹמָם וָלַיְלָה עַל-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל עֲבָדֶיךָ וּמִתְוַדֶּה עַל-חַטֹּאות בְּנֵֽי-יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר חָטָאנוּ לָךְ וַֽאֲנִי וּבֵית-אָבִי חָטָֽאנוּ׃
Let thine ear now be attentive, and thine eyes open, that thou mayest hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee now, day and night, for the children of Israel thy servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against thee: both I and my father's house have sinned.
וָֽאֹמַר לַמֶּלֶךְ הַמֶּלֶךְ לְעוֹלָם יִֽחְיֶה מַדּוּעַ לֹֽא-יֵרְעוּ פָנַי אֲשֶׁר הָעִיר בֵּית-קִבְרוֹת אֲבֹתַי חֲרֵבָה וּשְׁעָרֶיהָ אֻכְּלוּ בָאֵֽשׁ׃
And said unto the king, Let the king live for ever: why should not my countenance be sad, when the city, the place of my fathers' sepulchres, lieth waste, and the gates thereof are consumed with fire?
וָֽאֹמַר לַמֶּלֶךְ אִם-עַל-הַמֶּלֶךְ טוֹב וְאִם-יִיטַב עַבְדְּךָ לְפָנֶיךָ אֲשֶׁר תִּשְׁלָחֵנִי אֶל-יְהוּדָה אֶל-עִיר קִבְרוֹת אֲבֹתַי וְאֶבְנֶֽנָּה׃
And I said unto the king, If it please the king, and if thy servant have found favour in thy sight, that thou wouldest send me unto Judah, unto the city of my fathers' sepulchres, that I may build it.
וְאֵלֶּה הָֽעוֹלִים מִתֵּל מֶלַח תֵּל חַרְשָׁא כְּרוּב אַדּוֹן וְאִמֵּר וְלֹא יָֽכְלוּ לְהַגִּיד בֵּית-אֲבוֹתָם וְזַרְעָם אִם מִיִּשְׂרָאֵל הֵֽם׃
And these were they which went up also from Tel-melah, Tel-haresha, Cherub, Addon, and Immer: but they could not shew their father's house, nor their seed, whether they were of Israel.
וּמִקְצָת רָאשֵׁי הָֽאָבוֹת נָֽתְנוּ לַמְּלָאכָה הַתִּרְשָׁתָא נָתַן לָֽאוֹצָר זָהָב דַּרְכְּמֹנִים אֶלֶף מִזְרָקוֹת חֲמִשִּׁים כָּתְנוֹת כֹּֽהֲנִים שְׁלֹשִׁים וַֽחֲמֵשׁ מֵאֽוֹת׃
And some of the chief of the fathers gave unto the work. The Tirshatha gave to the treasure a thousand drams of gold, fifty basons, five hundred and thirty priests' garments.
וּמֵֽרָאשֵׁי הָֽאָבוֹת נָֽתְנוּ לְאוֹצַר הַמְּלָאכָה זָהָב דַּרְכְּמוֹנִים שְׁתֵּי רִבּוֹת וְכֶסֶף מָנִים אַלְפַּיִם וּמָאתָֽיִם׃
And some of the chief of the fathers gave to the treasure of the work twenty thousand drams of gold, and two thousand and two hundred pound of silver.
וּבַיּוֹם הַשֵּׁנִי נֶֽאֶסְפוּ רָאשֵׁי הָֽאָבוֹת לְכָל-הָעָם הַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם אֶל-עֶזְרָא הַסֹּפֵר וּלְהַשְׂכִּיל אֶל-דִּבְרֵי הַתּוֹרָֽה׃
And on the second day were gathered together the chief of the fathers of all the people, the priests, and the Levites, unto Ezra the scribe, even to understand the words of the law.
וַיִּבָּֽדְלוּ זֶרַע יִשְׂרָאֵל מִכֹּל בְּנֵי נֵכָר וַיַּֽעַמְדוּ וַיִּתְוַדּוּ עַל-חַטֹּאתֵיהֶם וַעֲוֺנוֹת אֲבֹֽתֵיהֶֽם׃
And the seed of Israel separated themselves from all strangers, and stood and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers.
וַתֵּרֶא אֶת-עֳנִי אֲבֹתֵינוּ בְּמִצְרָיִם וְאֶת-זַֽעֲקָתָם שָׁמַעְתָּ עַל-יַם-סֽוּף׃
And didst see the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and heardest their cry by the Red sea;
וְהֵם וַֽאֲבֹתֵינוּ הֵזִידוּ וַיַּקְשׁוּ אֶת-עָרְפָּם וְלֹא שָֽׁמְעוּ אֶל-מִצְוֹתֶֽיךָ׃
But they and our fathers dealt proudly, and hardened their necks, and hearkened not to thy commandments,
וּבְנֵיהֶם הִרְבִּיתָ כְּכֹֽכְבֵי הַשָּׁמָיִם וַתְּבִיאֵם אֶל-הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר-אָמַרְתָּ לַאֲבֹֽתֵיהֶם לָבוֹא לָרָֽשֶׁת׃
Their children also multipliedst thou as the stars of heaven, and broughtest them into the land, concerning which thou hadst promised to their fathers, that they should go in to possess it.
וְעַתָּה אֱלֹהֵינוּ הָאֵל הַגָּדוֹל הַגִּבּוֹר וְהַנּוֹרָא שׁוֹמֵר הַבְּרִית וְהַחֶסֶד אַל-יִמְעַט לְפָנֶיךָ אֵת כָּל-הַתְּלָאָה אֲֽשֶׁר-מְצָאַתְנוּ לִמְלָכֵינוּ לְשָׂרֵינוּ וּלְכֹֽהֲנֵינוּ וְלִנְבִיאֵנוּ וְלַֽאֲבֹתֵינוּ וּלְכָל-עַמֶּךָ מִימֵי מַלְכֵי אַשּׁוּר עַד הַיּוֹם הַזֶּֽה׃
Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the terrible God, who keepest covenant and mercy, let not all the trouble seem little before thee, that hath come upon us, on our kings, on our princes, and on our priests, and on our prophets, and on our fathers, and on all thy people, since the time of the kings of Assyria unto this day.
וְאֶת-מְלָכֵינוּ שָׂרֵינוּ כֹּֽהֲנֵינוּ וַֽאֲבֹתֵינוּ לֹא עָשׂוּ תּֽוֹרָתֶךָ וְלֹא הִקְשִׁיבוּ אֶל-מִצְוֹתֶיךָ וּלְעֵדְוֹתֶיךָ אֲשֶׁר הַֽעִידֹתָ בָּהֶֽם׃
Neither have our kings, our princes, our priests, nor our fathers, kept thy law, nor hearkened unto thy commandments and thy testimonies, wherewith thou didst testify against them.
הִנֵּה אֲנַחְנוּ הַיּוֹם עֲבָדִים וְהָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר-נָתַתָּה לַֽאֲבֹתֵינוּ לֶֽאֱכֹל אֶת-פִּרְיָהּ וְאֶת-טוּבָהּ הִנֵּה אֲנַחְנוּ עֲבָדִים עָלֶֽיהָ׃
Behold, we are servants this day, and for the land that thou gavest unto our fathers to eat the fruit thereof and the good thereof, behold, we are servants in it:
וְהַגּֽוֹרָלוֹת הִפַּלְנוּ עַל-קֻרְבַּן הָֽעֵצִים הַכֹּֽהֲנִים הַלְוִיִּם וְהָעָם לְהָבִיא לְבֵית אֱלֹהֵינוּ לְבֵית-אֲבֹתֵינוּ לְעִתִּים מְזֻמָּנִים שָׁנָה בְשָׁנָה לְבַעֵר עַל-מִזְבַּח יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ כַּכָּתוּב בַּתּוֹרָֽה׃
And we cast the lots among the priests, the Levites, and the people, for the wood offering, to bring it into the house of our God, after the houses of our fathers, at times appointed year by year, to burn upon the altar of the LORD our God, as it is written in the law:
וְאֶחָיו רָאשִׁים לְאָבוֹת מָאתַיִם אַרְבָּעִים וּשְׁנָיִם וַֽעֲמַשְׁסַי בֶּן-עֲזַרְאֵל בֶּן-אַחְזַי בֶּן-מְשִׁלֵּמוֹת בֶּן-אִמֵּֽר׃
And his brethren, chief of the fathers, two hundred forty and two: and Amashai the son of Azareel, the son of Ahasai, the son of Meshillemoth, the son of Immer,
וּבִימֵי יֽוֹיָקִים הָיוּ כֹֽהֲנִים רָאשֵׁי הָֽאָבוֹת לִשְׂרָיָה מְרָיָה לְיִרְמְיָה חֲנַנְיָֽה׃
And in the days of Joiakim were priests, the chief of the fathers: of Seraiah, Meraiah; of Jeremiah, Hananiah;
הַלְוִיִּם בִּימֵי אֶלְיָשִׁיב יֽוֹיָדָע וְיֽוֹחָנָן וְיַדּוּעַ כְּתוּבִים רָאשֵׁי אָבוֹת וְהַכֹּהֲנִים עַל-מַלְכוּת דָּֽרְיָוֶשׁ הַפָּֽרְסִֽי׃
The Levites in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, and Johanan, and Jaddua, were recorded chief of the fathers: also the priests, to the reign of Darius the Persian.
בְּנֵי לֵוִי רָאשֵׁי הָֽאָבוֹת כְּתוּבִים עַל-סֵפֶר דִּבְרֵי הַיָּמִים וְעַד-יְמֵי יֽוֹחָנָן בֶּן-אֶלְיָשִֽׁיב׃
The sons of Levi, the chief of the fathers, were written in the book of the chronicles, even until the days of Johanan the son of Eliashib.
הֲלוֹא כֹה עָשׂוּ אֲבֹתֵיכֶם וַיָּבֵא אֱלֹהֵינוּ עָלֵינוּ אֵת כָּל-הָֽרָעָה הַזֹּאת וְעַל הָעִיר הַזֹּאת וְאַתֶּם מֽוֹסִיפִים חָרוֹן עַל-יִשְׂרָאֵל לְחַלֵּל אֶת-הַשַּׁבָּֽת׃
Did not your fathers thus, and did not our God bring all this evil upon us, and upon this city? yet ye bring more wrath upon Israel by profaning the sabbath.
וַיְהִי אֹמֵן אֶת-הֲדַסָּה הִיא אֶסְתֵּר בַּת-דֹּדוֹ כִּי אֵין לָהּ אָב וָאֵם וְהַנַּֽעֲרָה יְפַת-תֹּאַר וְטוֹבַת מַרְאֶה וּבְמוֹת אָבִיהָ וְאִמָּהּ לְקָחָהּ מָרְדֳּכַי לוֹ לְבַֽת׃
And he brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle's daughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the maid was fair and beautiful; whom Mordecai, when her father and mother were dead, took for his own daughter.
כִּי אִם-הַֽחֲרֵשׁ תַּֽחֲרִישִׁי בָּעֵת הַזֹּאת רֶוַח וְהַצָּלָה יַֽעֲמוֹד לַיְּהוּדִים מִמָּקוֹם אַחֵר וְאַתְּ וּבֵית-אָבִיךְ תֹּאבֵדוּ וּמִי יוֹדֵעַ אִם-לְעֵת כָּזֹאת הִגַּעַתְּ לַמַּלְכֽוּת׃
For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father's house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?
כִּֽי-שְׁאַל-נָא לְדֹר רִישׁוֹן וְכוֹנֵן לְחֵקֶר אֲבוֹתָֽם׃
For inquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thyself to the search of their fathers:
גַּם-שָׂב גַּם-יָשִׁישׁ בָּנוּ כַּבִּיר מֵאָבִיךָ יָמִֽים׃
With us are both the grayheaded and very aged men, much elder than thy father.
אֲשֶׁר-חֲכָמִים יַגִּידוּ וְלֹא כִֽחֲדוּ מֵאֲבוֹתָֽם׃
Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hid it:
לַשַּׁחַת קָרָאתִי אָבִי אָתָּה אִמִּי וַאֲחֹתִי לָֽרִמָּֽה׃
I have said to corruption, Thou art my father: to the worm, Thou art my mother, and my sister.
אָב אָנֹכִֽי לָֽאֶבְיוֹנִים וְרִב לֹא-יָדַעְתִּי אֶחְקְרֵֽהוּ׃
I was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I searched out.
וְעַתָּה׀ שָֽׂחֲקוּ עָלַי צְעִירִים מִמֶּנִּי לְיָמִים אֲשֶׁר-מָאַסְתִּי אֲבוֹתָם לָשִׁית עִם-כַּלְבֵי צֹאנִֽי׃
But now they that are younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I would have disdained to have set with the dogs of my flock.
כִּי מִנְּעוּרַי גְּדֵלַנִי כְאָב וּמִבֶּטֶן אִמִּי אַנְחֶֽנָּה׃
(For from my youth he was brought up with me, as with a father, and I have guided her from my mother's womb;)
הֲיֵשׁ-לַמָּטָר אָב אוֹ מִי-הוֹלִיד אֶגְלֵי-טָֽל׃
Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops of dew?
וְלֹא נִמְצָא נָשִׁים יָפוֹת כִּבְנוֹת אִיּוֹב בְּכָל-הָאָרֶץ וַיִּתֵּן לָהֶם אֲבִיהֶם נַחֲלָה בְּתוֹךְ אֲחֵיהֶֽם׃
And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.
בְּךָ בָּטְחוּ אֲבֹתֵינוּ בָּטְחוּ וַֽתְּפַלְּטֵֽמוֹ׃
Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.
כִּי-אָבִי וְאִמִּי עֲזָבוּנִי וַֽיהוָה יַֽאַסְפֵֽנִי׃
When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.
שִׁמְעָֽה תְפִלָּתִי׀ יְהוָה וְשַׁוְעָתִי׀ הַאֲזִינָה אֶֽל-דִּמְעָתִי אַֽל-תֶּחֱרַשׁ כִּי גֵר אָנֹכִי עִמָּךְ תּוֹשָׁב כְּכָל-אֲבוֹתָֽי׃
Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were.
אֱלֹהִים׀ בְּאָזְנֵינוּ שָׁמַעְנוּ אֲבוֹתֵינוּ סִפְּרוּ-לָנוּ פֹּעַל פָּעַלְתָּ בִֽימֵיהֶם בִּימֵי קֶֽדֶם׃
We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.
שִׁמְעִי-בַת וּרְאִי וְהַטִּי אָזְנֵךְ וְשִׁכְחִי עַמֵּךְ וּבֵית אָבִֽיךְ׃
Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father's house;
תַּחַת אֲבֹתֶיךָ יִהְיוּ בָנֶיךָ תְּשִׁיתֵמוֹ לְשָׂרִים בְּכָל-הָאָֽרֶץ׃
Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth.
תָּבוֹא עַד-דּוֹר אֲבוֹתָיו עַד-נֵצַח לֹא יִרְאוּ-אֽוֹר׃
He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light.
אֲבִי יְתוֹמִים וְדַיַּן אַלְמָנוֹת אֱלֹהִים בִּמְעוֹן קָדְשֽׁוֹ׃
A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.
אֲשֶׁר שָׁמַעְנוּ וַנֵּדָעֵם וַאֲבוֹתֵינוּ סִפְּרוּ-לָֽנוּ׃
Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.
וַיָּקֶם עֵדוּת׀ בְּֽיַעֲקֹב וְתוֹרָה שָׂם בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר צִוָּה אֶת-אֲבוֹתֵינוּ לְהוֹדִיעָם לִבְנֵיהֶֽם׃
For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children:
וְלֹא יִהְיוּ׀ כַּאֲבוֹתָם דּוֹר סוֹרֵר וּמֹרֶה דּוֹר לֹא-הֵכִין לִבּוֹ וְלֹא-נֶאֶמְנָה אֶת-אֵל רוּחֽוֹ׃
And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God.
נֶגֶד אֲבוֹתָם עָשָׂה פֶלֶא בְּאֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם שְׂדֵה-צֹֽעַן׃
Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
וַיִּסֹּגוּ וַֽיִּבְגְּדוּ כַּאֲבוֹתָם נֶהְפְּכוּ כְּקֶשֶׁת רְמִיָּֽה׃
But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.
הוּא יִקְרָאֵנִי אָבִי אָתָּה אֵלִי וְצוּר יְשׁוּעָתִֽי׃
He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.
אֲשֶׁר נִסּוּנִי אֲבוֹתֵיכֶם בְּחָנוּנִי גַּם-רָאוּ פָעֳלִֽי׃
When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.
כְּרַחֵם אָב עַל-בָּנִים רִחַם יְהוָה עַל-יְרֵאָֽיו׃
Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.
