Verses 701–800 of 3586 (page 8 of 36)
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?
וְאַתֶּם קַמְתֶּם עַל-בֵּית אָבִי הַיּוֹם וַתַּֽהַרְגוּ אֶת-בָּנָיו שִׁבְעִים אִישׁ עַל-אֶבֶן אֶחָת וַתַּמְלִיכוּ אֶת-אֲבִימֶלֶךְ בֶּן-אֲמָתוֹ עַל-בַּֽעֲלֵי שְׁכֶם כִּי אֲחִיכֶם הֽוּא׃
And ye are risen up against my father's house this day, and have slain his sons, threescore and ten persons, upon one stone, and have made Abimelech, the son of his maidservant, king over the men of Shechem, because he is your brother;)
וְאִם-אַיִן תֵּצֵא אֵשׁ מֵֽאֲבִימֶלֶךְ וְתֹאכַל אֶת-בַּֽעֲלֵי שְׁכֶם וְאֶת-בֵּית מִלּוֹא וְתֵצֵא אֵשׁ מִבַּֽעֲלֵי שְׁכֶם וּמִבֵּית מִלּוֹא וְתֹאכַל אֶת-אֲבִימֶֽלֶךְ׃
But if not, let fire come out from Abimelech, and devour the men of Shechem, and the house of Millo; and let fire come out from the men of Shechem, and from the house of Millo, and devour Abimelech.
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:
לָבוֹא חֲמַס שִׁבְעִים בְּנֵֽי-יְרֻבָּעַל וְדָמָם לָשׂוּם עַל-אֲבִימֶלֶךְ אֲחִיהֶם אֲשֶׁר הָרַג אוֹתָם וְעַל בַּֽעֲלֵי שְׁכֶם אֲשֶׁר-חִזְּקוּ אֶת-יָדָיו לַֽהֲרֹג אֶת-אֶחָֽיו׃
That the cruelty done to the threescore and ten sons of Jerubbaal might come, and their blood be laid upon Abimelech their brother, which slew them; and upon the men of Shechem, which aided him in the killing of his brethren.
וַיָּשִׂימוּ לוֹ בַֽעֲלֵי שְׁכֶם מְאָֽרְבִים עַל רָאשֵׁי הֶֽהָרִים וַיִּגְזְלוּ אֵת כָּל-אֲשֶׁר-יַֽעֲבֹר עֲלֵיהֶם בַּדָּרֶךְ וַיֻּגַּד לַֽאֲבִימֶֽלֶךְ׃
And the men of Shechem set liers in wait for him in the top of the mountains, and they robbed all that came along that way by them: and it was told Abimelech.
וַיָּבֹא גַּעַל בֶּן-עֶבֶד וְאֶחָיו וַיַּֽעַבְרוּ בִּשְׁכֶם וַיִּבְטְחוּ-בוֹ בַּֽעֲלֵי שְׁכֶֽם׃
And Gaal the son of Ebed came with his brethren, and went over to Shechem: and the men of Shechem put their confidence in him.
וַיֹּאמֶר׀ גַּעַל בֶּן-עֶבֶד מִֽי-אֲבִימֶלֶךְ וּמִֽי-שְׁכֶם כִּי נַֽעַבְדֶנּוּ הֲלֹא בֶן-יְרֻבַּעַל וּזְבֻל פְּקִידוֹ עִבְדוּ אֶת-אַנְשֵׁי חֲמוֹר אֲבִי שְׁכֶם וּמַדּוּעַ נַֽעַבְדֶנּוּ אֲנָֽחְנוּ׃
And Gaal the son of Ebed said, Who is Abimelech, and who is Shechem, that we should serve him? is not he the son of Jerubbaal? and Zebul his officer? serve the men of Hamor the father of Shechem: for why should we serve him?
וַיַּרְא-גַּעַל אֶת-הָעָם וַיֹּאמֶר אֶל-זְבֻל הִנֵּה-עָם יוֹרֵד מֵֽרָאשֵׁי הֶֽהָרִים וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו זְבֻל אֵת צֵל הֶֽהָרִים אַתָּה רֹאֶה כָּֽאֲנָשִֽׁים׃
And when Gaal saw the people, he said to Zebul, Behold, there come people down from the top of the mountains. And Zebul said unto him, Thou seest the shadow of the mountains as if they were men.
וַיֵּצֵא גַעַל לִפְנֵי בַּֽעֲלֵי שְׁכֶם וַיִּלָּחֶם בַּֽאֲבִימֶֽלֶךְ׃
And Gaal went out before the men of Shechem, and fought with Abimelech.
וַֽיִּשְׁמְעוּ כָּֽל-בַּעֲלֵי מִֽגְדַּל-שְׁכֶם וַיָּבֹאוּ אֶל-צְרִיחַ בֵּית אֵל בְּרִֽית׃
And when all the men of the tower of Shechem heard that, they entered into an hold of the house of the god Berith.
וַיֻּגַּד לַֽאֲבִימֶלֶךְ כִּי הִֽתְקַבְּצוּ כָּֽל-בַּעֲלֵי מִֽגְדַּל-שְׁכֶֽם׃
And it was told Abimelech, that all the men of the tower of Shechem were gathered together.
וַיִּכְרְתוּ גַם-כָּל-הָעָם אִישׁ שׂוֹכֹה וַיֵּלְכוּ אַֽחֲרֵי אֲבִימֶלֶךְ וַיָּשִׂימוּ עַֽל-הַצְּרִיחַ וַיַּצִּיתוּ עֲלֵיהֶם אֶֽת-הַצְּרִיחַ בָּאֵשׁ וַיָּמֻתוּ גַּם כָּל-אַנְשֵׁי מִֽגְדַּל-שְׁכֶם כְּאֶלֶף אִישׁ וְאִשָּֽׁה׃
And all the people likewise cut down every man his bough, and followed Abimelech, and put them to the hold, and set the hold on fire upon them; so that all the men of the tower of Shechem died also, about a thousand men and women.
וּמִגְדַּל-עֹז הָיָה בְתוֹךְ-הָעִיר וַיָּנֻסוּ שָׁמָּה כָּל-הָֽאֲנָשִׁים וְהַנָּשִׁים וְכֹל בַּֽעֲלֵי הָעִיר וַֽיִּסְגְּרוּ בַּֽעֲדָם וַֽיַּעֲלוּ עַל-גַּג הַמִּגְדָּֽל׃
But there was a strong tower within the city, and thither fled all the men and women, and all they of the city, and shut it to them, and gat them up to the top of the tower.
וַיִּרְאוּ אִֽישׁ-יִשְׂרָאֵל כִּי מֵת אֲבִימֶלֶךְ וַיֵּֽלְכוּ אִישׁ לִמְקֹמֽוֹ׃
And when the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was dead, they departed every man unto his place.
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.
וַיָּקָם אַֽחֲרֵי אֲבִימֶלֶךְ לְהוֹשִׁיעַ אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵל תּוֹלָע בֶּן-פּוּאָה בֶּן-דּוֹדוֹ אִישׁ יִשָּׂשכָר וְהֽוּא-יֹשֵׁב בְּשָׁמִיר בְּהַר אֶפְרָֽיִם׃
And after Abimelech there arose to defend Israel Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar; and he dwelt in Shamir in mount Ephraim.
וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ הָעָם שָׂרֵי גִלְעָד אִישׁ אֶל-רֵעֵהוּ מִי הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר יָחֵל לְהִלָּחֵם בִּבְנֵי עַמּוֹן יִֽהְיֶה לְרֹאשׁ לְכֹל יֹֽשְׁבֵי גִלְעָֽד׃
And the people and princes of Gilead said one to another, What man is he that will begin to fight against the children of Ammon? he shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.
וַיִּבְרַח יִפְתָּח מִפְּנֵי אֶחָיו וַיֵּשֶׁב בְּאֶרֶץ טוֹב וַיִּֽתְלַקְּטוּ אֶל-יִפְתָּח אֲנָשִׁים רֵיקִים וַיֵּֽצְאוּ עִמּֽוֹ׃
Then Jephthah fled from his brethren, and dwelt in the land of Tob: and there were gathered vain men to Jephthah, and went out with him.
וַיְהִי מִקֵּץ׀ שְׁנַיִם חֳדָשִׁים וַתָּשָׁב אֶל-אָבִיהָ וַיַּעַשׂ לָהּ אֶת-נִדְרוֹ אֲשֶׁר נָדָר וְהִיא לֹֽא-יָדְעָה אִישׁ וַתְּהִי-חֹק בְּיִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And it came to pass at the end of two months, that she returned unto her father, who did with her according to his vow which he had vowed: and she knew no man. And it was a custom in Israel,
וַיִּצָּעֵק אִישׁ אֶפְרַיִם וַֽיַּעֲבֹר צָפוֹנָה וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ לְיִפְתָּח מַדּוּעַ׀ עָבַרְתָּ׀ לְהִלָּחֵם בִּבְנֵֽי-עַמּוֹן וְלָנוּ לֹא קָרָאתָ לָלֶכֶת עִמָּךְ בֵּֽיתְךָ נִשְׂרֹף עָלֶיךָ בָּאֵֽשׁ׃
And the men of Ephraim gathered themselves together, and went northward, and said unto Jephthah, Wherefore passedst thou over to fight against the children of Ammon, and didst not call us to go with thee? we will burn thine house upon thee with fire.
וַיֹּאמֶר יִפְתָּח אֲלֵיהֶם אִישׁ רִיב הָיִיתִי אֲנִי וְעַמִּי וּבְנֵֽי-עַמּוֹן מְאֹד וָֽאֶזְעַק אֶתְכֶם וְלֹֽא-הוֹשַׁעְתֶּם אוֹתִי מִיָּדָֽם׃
And Jephthah said unto them, I and my people were at great strife with the children of Ammon; and when I called you, ye delivered me not out of their hands.
וַיִּקְבֹּץ יִפְתָּח אֶת-כָּל-אַנְשֵׁי גִלְעָד וַיִּלָּחֶם אֶת-אֶפְרָיִם וַיַּכּוּ אַנְשֵׁי גִלְעָד אֶת-אֶפְרַיִם כִּי אָֽמְרוּ פְּלִיטֵי אֶפְרַיִם אַתֶּם גִּלְעָד בְּתוֹךְ אֶפְרַיִם בְּתוֹךְ מְנַשֶּֽׁה׃
Then Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim: and the men of Gilead smote Ephraim, because they said, Ye Gileadites are fugitives of Ephraim among the Ephraimites, and among the Manassites.
וַיִּלְכֹּד גִּלְעָד אֶֽת-מַעְבְּרוֹת הַיַּרְדֵּן לְאֶפְרָיִם וְֽהָיָה כִּי יֹֽאמְרוּ פְּלִיטֵי אֶפְרַיִם אֶֽעֱבֹרָה וַיֹּאמְרוּ לוֹ אַנְשֵֽׁי-גִלְעָד הַֽאֶפְרָתִי אַתָּה וַיֹּאמֶֽר׀ לֹֽא׃
And the Gileadites took the passages of Jordan before the Ephraimites: and it was so, that when those Ephraimites which were escaped said, Let me go over; that the men of Gilead said unto him, Art thou an Ephraimite? If he said, Nay;
וַיְהִי אִישׁ אֶחָד מִצָּרְעָה מִמִּשְׁפַּחַת הַדָּנִי וּשְׁמוֹ מָנוֹחַ וְאִשְׁתּוֹ עֲקָרָה וְלֹא יָלָֽדָה׃
And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren, and bare not.
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:
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.
וַתְּמַהֵר הָֽאִשָּׁה וַתָּרָץ וַתַּגֵּד לְאִישָׁהּ וַתֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו הִנֵּה נִרְאָה אֵלַי הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר-בָּא בַיּוֹם אֵלָֽי׃
And the woman made haste, and ran, and shewed her husband, and said unto him, Behold, the man hath appeared unto me, that came unto me the other day.
וַיָּקָם וַיֵּלֶךְ מָנוֹחַ אַֽחֲרֵי אִשְׁתּוֹ וַיָּבֹא אֶל-הָאִישׁ וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ הַֽאַתָּה הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר-דִּבַּרְתָּ אֶל-הָֽאִשָּׁה וַיֹּאמֶר אָֽנִי׃
And Manoah arose, and went after his wife, and came to the man, and said unto him, Art thou the man that spakest unto the woman? And he said, I am.
וַיְהִי׀ בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִי וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ לְאֵֽשֶׁת-שִׁמְשׁוֹן פַּתִּי אֶת-אִישֵׁךְ וְיַגֶּד-לָנוּ אֶת-הַחִידָה פֶּן-נִשְׂרֹף אוֹתָךְ וְאֶת-בֵּית אָבִיךְ בָּאֵשׁ הַלְיָרְשֵׁנוּ קְרָאתֶם לָנוּ הֲלֹֽא׃
And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said unto Samson's wife, Entice thy husband, that he may declare unto us the riddle, lest we burn thee and thy father's house with fire: have ye called us to take that we have? is it not so?
וַיֹּאמְרוּ לוֹ אַנְשֵׁי הָעִיר בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִי בְּטֶרֶם יָבֹא הַחַרְסָה מַה-מָּתוֹק מִדְּבַשׁ וּמֶה עַז מֵֽאֲרִי וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם לוּלֵא חֲרַשְׁתֶּם בְּעֶגְלָתִי לֹא מְצָאתֶם חִֽידָתִֽי׃
And the men of the city said unto him on the seventh day before the sun went down, What is sweeter than honey? and what is stronger than a lion? And he said unto them, If ye had not plowed with my heifer, ye had not found out my riddle.
וַתִּצְלַח עָלָיו רוּחַ יְהוָה וַיֵּרֶד אַשְׁקְלוֹן וַיַּךְ מֵהֶם׀ שְׁלֹשִׁים אִישׁ וַיִּקַּח אֶת-חֲלִיצוֹתָם וַיִּתֵּן הַֽחֲלִיפוֹת לְמַגִּידֵי הַֽחִידָה וַיִּחַר אַפּוֹ וַיַּעַל בֵּית אָבִֽיהוּ׃
And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and slew thirty men of them, and took their spoil, and gave change of garments unto them which expounded the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father's house.
וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ אִישׁ יְהוּדָה לָמָה עֲלִיתֶם עָלֵינוּ וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ לֶֽאֱסוֹר אֶת-שִׁמְשׁוֹן עָלִינוּ לַֽעֲשׂוֹת לוֹ כַּֽאֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה לָֽנוּ׃
And the men of Judah said, Why are ye come up against us? And they answered, To bind Samson are we come up, to do to him as he hath done to us.
וַיֵּֽרְדוּ שְׁלֹשֶׁת אֲלָפִים אִישׁ מִֽיהוּדָה אֶל-סְעִיף סֶלַע עֵיטָם וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ לְשִׁמְשׁוֹן הֲלֹא יָדַעְתָּ כִּֽי-מֹשְׁלִים בָּנוּ פְּלִשְׁתִּים וּמַה-זֹּאת עָשִׂיתָ לָּנוּ וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם כַּֽאֲשֶׁר עָשׂוּ לִי כֵּן עָשִׂיתִי לָהֶֽם׃
Then three thousand men of Judah went to the top of the rock Etam, and said to Samson, Knowest thou not that the Philistines are rulers over us? what is this that thou hast done unto us? And he said unto them, As they did unto me, so have I done unto them.
וַיִּמְצָא לְחִֽי-חֲמוֹר טְרִיָּה וַיִּשְׁלַח יָדוֹ וַיִּקָּחֶהָ וַיַּךְ-בָּהּ אֶלֶף אִֽישׁ׃
And he found a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men therewith.
וַיֹּאמֶר שִׁמְשׁוֹן בִּלְחִי הַֽחֲמוֹר חֲמוֹר חֲמֹֽרָתָיִם בִּלְחִי הַֽחֲמוֹר הִכֵּיתִי אֶלֶף אִֽישׁ׃
And Samson said, With the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon heaps, with the jaw of an ass have I slain a thousand men.
וַיַּֽעֲלוּ אֵלֶיהָ סַרְנֵי פְלִשְׁתִּים וַיֹּאמְרוּ לָהּ פַּתִּי אוֹתוֹ וּרְאִי בַּמֶּה כֹּחוֹ גָדוֹל וּבַמֶּה נוּכַל לוֹ וַֽאֲסַרְנוּהוּ לְעַנּוֹתוֹ וַֽאֲנַחְנוּ נִתַּן-לָךְ אִישׁ אֶלֶף וּמֵאָה כָּֽסֶף׃
And the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and said unto her, Entice him, and see wherein his great strength lieth, and by what means we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to afflict him: and we will give thee every one of us eleven hundred pieces of silver.
וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלֶיהָ שִׁמְשׁוֹן אִם-יַֽאַסְרֻנִי בְּשִׁבְעָה יְתָרִים לַחִים אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא-חֹרָבוּ וְחָלִיתִי וְהָיִיתִי כְּאַחַד הָֽאָדָֽם׃
And Samson said unto her, If they bind me with seven green withs that were never dried, then shall I be weak, and be as another man.
וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלֶיהָ אִם-אָסוֹר יַֽאַסְרוּנִי בַּֽעֲבֹתִים חֲדָשִׁים אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא-נַעֲשָׂה בָהֶם מְלָאכָה וְחָלִיתִי וְהָיִיתִי כְּאַחַד הָֽאָדָֽם׃
And he said unto her, If they bind me fast with new ropes that never were occupied, then shall I be weak, and be as another man.
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.
וַתְּיַשְּׁנֵהוּ עַל-בִּרְכֶּיהָ וַתִּקְרָא לָאִישׁ וַתְּגַלַּח אֶת-שֶׁבַע מַחְלְפוֹת רֹאשׁוֹ וַתָּחֶל לְעַנּוֹתוֹ וַיָּסַר כֹּחוֹ מֵֽעָלָֽיו׃
And she made him sleep upon her knees; and she called for a man, and she caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head; and she began to afflict him, and his strength went from him.
וְהַבַּיִת מָלֵא הָֽאֲנָשִׁים וְהַנָּשִׁים וְשָׁמָּה כֹּל סַרְנֵי פְלִשְׁתִּים וְעַל-הַגָּג כִּשְׁלֹשֶׁת אֲלָפִים אִישׁ וְאִשָּׁה הָֽרֹאִים בִּשְׂחוֹק שִׁמְשֽׁוֹן׃
Now the house was full of men and women; and all the lords of the Philistines were there; and there were upon the roof about three thousand men and women, that beheld while Samson made sport.
וַֽיְהִי-אִישׁ מֵֽהַר-אֶפְרָיִם וּשְׁמוֹ מִיכָֽיְהוּ׃
And there was a man of mount Ephraim, whose name was Micah.
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.
בַּיָּמִים הָהֵם אֵין מֶלֶךְ בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל אִישׁ הַיָּשָׁר בְּעֵינָיו יַֽעֲשֶֽׂה׃
In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
וַיֵּלֶךְ הָאִישׁ מֵֽהָעִיר מִבֵּית לֶחֶם יְהוּדָה לָגוּר בַּֽאֲשֶׁר יִמְצָא וַיָּבֹא הַר-אֶפְרַיִם עַד-בֵּית מִיכָה לַֽעֲשׂוֹת דַּרְכּֽוֹ׃
And the man departed out of the city from Bethlehem-judah to sojourn where he could find a place: and he came to mount Ephraim to the house of Micah, as he journeyed.
וַיּוֹאֶל הַלֵּוִי לָשֶׁבֶת אֶת-הָאִישׁ וַיְהִי הַנַּעַר לוֹ כְּאַחַד מִבָּנָֽיו׃
And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was unto him as one of his sons.
וַיִּשְׁלְחוּ בְנֵי-דָן׀ מִֽמִּשְׁפַּחְתָּם חֲמִשָּׁה אֲנָשִׁים מִקְצוֹתָם אֲנָשִׁים בְּנֵי-חַיִל מִצָּרְעָה וּמֵֽאֶשְׁתָּאֹל לְרַגֵּל אֶת-הָאָרֶץ וּלְחָקְרָהּ וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ אֲלֵהֶם לְכוּ חִקְרוּ אֶת-הָאָרֶץ וַיָּבֹאוּ הַר-אֶפְרַיִם עַד-בֵּית מִיכָה וַיָּלִינוּ שָֽׁם׃
And the children of Dan sent of their family five men from their coasts, men of valour, from Zorah, and from Eshtaol, to spy out the land, and to search it; and they said unto them, Go, search the land: who when they came to mount Ephraim, to the house of Micah, they lodged there.
וַיֵּֽלְכוּ חֲמֵשֶׁת הָֽאֲנָשִׁים וַיָּבֹאוּ לָיְשָׁה וַיִּרְאוּ אֶת-הָעָם אֲשֶׁר-בְּקִרְבָּהּ יוֹשֶֽׁבֶת-לָבֶטַח כְּמִשְׁפַּט צִֽדֹנִים שֹׁקֵט׀ וּבֹטֵחַ וְאֵין-מַכְלִים דָּבָר בָּאָרֶץ יוֹרֵשׁ עֶצֶר וּרְחוֹקִים הֵמָּה מִצִּידֹנִים וְדָבָר אֵין-לָהֶם עִם-אָדָֽם׃
Then the five men departed, and came to Laish, and saw the people that were therein, how they dwelt careless, after the manner of the Zidonians, quiet and secure; and there was no magistrate in the land, that might put them to shame in any thing; and they were far from the Zidonians, and had no business with any man.
וַיִּסְעוּ מִשָּׁם מִמִּשְׁפַּחַת הַדָּנִי מִצָּרְעָה וּמֵֽאֶשְׁתָּאֹל שֵֽׁשׁ-מֵאוֹת אִישׁ חָגוּר כְּלֵי מִלְחָמָֽה׃
And there went from thence of the family of the Danites, out of Zorah and out of Eshtaol, six hundred men appointed with weapons of war.
וַֽיַּעֲנוּ חֲמֵשֶׁת הָֽאֲנָשִׁים הַהֹֽלְכִים לְרַגֵּל אֶת-הָאָרֶץ לַיִשׁ וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ אֶל-אֲחֵיהֶם הַיְדַעְתֶּם כִּי יֵשׁ בַּבָּתִּים הָאֵלֶּה אֵפוֹד וּתְרָפִים וּפֶסֶל וּמַסֵּכָה וְעַתָּה דְּעוּ מַֽה-תַּעֲשֽׂוּ׃
Then answered the five men that went to spy out the country of Laish, and said unto their brethren, Do ye know that there is in these houses an ephod, and teraphim, and a graven image, and a molten image? now therefore consider what ye have to do.
וְשֵׁשׁ-מֵאוֹת אִישׁ חֲגוּרִים כְּלֵי מִלְחַמְתָּם נִצָּבִים פֶּתַח הַשָּׁעַר אֲשֶׁר מִבְּנֵי-דָֽן׃
And the six hundred men appointed with their weapons of war, which were of the children of Dan, stood by the entering of the gate.
וַֽיַּעֲלוּ חֲמֵשֶׁת הָֽאֲנָשִׁים הַהֹֽלְכִים לְרַגֵּל אֶת-הָאָרֶץ בָּאוּ שָׁמָּה לָֽקְחוּ אֶת-הַפֶּסֶל וְאֶת-הָאֵפוֹד וְאֶת-הַתְּרָפִים וְאֶת-הַמַּסֵּכָה וְהַכֹּהֵן נִצָּב פֶּתַח הַשַּׁעַר וְשֵׁשׁ-מֵאוֹת הָאִישׁ הֶֽחָגוּר כְּלֵי הַמִּלְחָמָֽה׃
And the five men that went to spy out the land went up, and came in thither, and took the graven image, and the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image: and the priest stood in the entering of the gate with the six hundred men that were appointed with weapons of war.
וַיֹּאמְרוּ לוֹ הַֽחֲרֵשׁ שִֽׂים-יָדְךָ עַל-פִּיךָ וְלֵךְ עִמָּנוּ וֶֽהְיֵה-לָנוּ לְאָב וּלְכֹהֵן הֲטוֹב׀ הֱיֽוֹתְךָ כֹהֵן לְבֵית אִישׁ אֶחָד אוֹ הֱיֽוֹתְךָ כֹהֵן לְשֵׁבֶט וּלְמִשְׁפָּחָה בְּיִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And they said unto him, Hold thy peace, lay thine hand upon thy mouth, and go with us, and be to us a father and a priest: is it better for thee to be a priest unto the house of one man, or that thou be a priest unto a tribe and a family in Israel?
הֵמָּה הִרְחִיקוּ מִבֵּית מִיכָה וְהָֽאֲנָשִׁים אֲשֶׁר בַּבָּתִּים אֲשֶׁר עִם-בֵּית מִיכָה נִֽזְעֲקוּ וַיַּדְבִּיקוּ אֶת-בְּנֵי-דָֽן׃
And when they were a good way from the house of Micah, the men that were in the houses near to Micah's house were gathered together, and overtook the children of Dan.
וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ אֵלָיו בְּנֵי-דָן אַל-תַּשְׁמַע קֽוֹלְךָ עִמָּנוּ פֶּֽן-יִפְגְּעוּ בָכֶם אֲנָשִׁים מָרֵי נֶפֶשׁ וְאָֽסַפְתָּה נַפְשְׁךָ וְנֶפֶשׁ בֵּיתֶֽךָ׃
And the children of Dan said unto him, Let not thy voice be heard among us, lest angry fellows run upon thee, and thou lose thy life, with the lives of thy household.
וְאֵין מַצִּיל כִּי רְֽחוֹקָה-הִיא מִצִּידוֹן וְדָבָר אֵין-לָהֶם עִם-אָדָם וְהִיא בָּעֵמֶק אֲשֶׁר לְבֵית-רְחוֹב וַיִּבְנוּ אֶת-הָעִיר וַיֵּשְׁבוּ בָֽהּ׃
And there was no deliverer, because it was far from Zidon, and they had no business with any man; and it was in the valley that lieth by Beth-rehob. And they built a city, and dwelt therein.
וַֽיְהִי בַּיָּמִים הָהֵם וּמֶלֶךְ אֵין בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל וַיְהִי׀ אִישׁ לֵוִי גָּר בְּיַרְכְּתֵי הַר-אֶפְרַיִם וַיִּֽקַּֽח-לוֹ אִשָּׁה פִילֶגֶשׁ מִבֵּית לֶחֶם יְהוּדָֽה׃
And it came to pass in those days, when there was no king in Israel, that there was a certain Levite sojourning on the side of mount Ephraim, who took to him a concubine out of Bethlehem-judah.
וַיָּקָם אִישָׁהּ וַיֵּלֶךְ אַֽחֲרֶיהָ לְדַבֵּר עַל-לִבָּהּ (להשיבו) לַהֲשִׁיבָהּ וְנַֽעֲרוֹ עִמּוֹ וְצֶמֶד חֲמֹרִים וַתְּבִיאֵהוּ בֵּית אָבִיהָ וַיִּרְאֵהוּ אֲבִי הַֽנַּעֲרָה וַיִּשְׂמַח לִקְרָאתֽוֹ׃
And her husband arose, and went after her, to speak friendly unto her, and to bring her again, having his servant with him, and a couple of asses: and she brought him into her father's house: and when the father of the damsel saw him, he rejoiced to meet him.
וַיֵּֽשְׁבוּ וַיֹּֽאכְלוּ שְׁנֵיהֶם יַחְדָּו וַיִּשְׁתּוּ וַיֹּאמֶר אֲבִי הַֽנַּעֲרָה אֶל-הָאִישׁ הֽוֹאֶל-נָא וְלִין וְיִטַב לִבֶּֽךָ׃
And they sat down, and did eat and drink both of them together: for the damsel's father had said unto the man, Be content, I pray thee, and tarry all night, and let thine heart be merry.
וַיָּקָם הָאִישׁ לָלֶכֶת וַיִּפְצַר-בּוֹ חֹֽתְנוֹ וַיָּשָׁב וַיָּלֶן שָֽׁם׃
And when the man rose up to depart, his father in law urged him: therefore he lodged there again.
וַיָּקָם הָאִישׁ לָלֶכֶת הוּא וּפִֽילַגְשׁוֹ וְנַֽעֲרוֹ וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ חֹֽתְנוֹ אֲבִי הַֽנַּעֲרָה הִנֵּה נָא רָפָה הַיּוֹם לַֽעֲרוֹב לִֽינוּ-נָא הִנֵּה חֲנוֹת הַיּוֹם לִין פֹּה וְיִיטַב לְבָבֶךָ וְהִשְׁכַּמְתֶּם מָחָר לְדַרְכְּכֶם וְהָֽלַכְתָּ לְאֹֽהָלֶֽךָ׃
And when the man rose up to depart, he, and his concubine, and his servant, his father in law, the damsel's father, said unto him, Behold, now the day draweth toward evening, I pray you tarry all night: behold, the day groweth to an end, lodge here, that thine heart may be merry; and to morrow get you early on your way, that thou mayest go home.
וְלֹֽא-אָבָה הָאִישׁ לָלוּן וַיָּקָם וַיֵּלֶךְ וַיָּבֹא עַד-נֹכַח יְבוּס הִיא יְרֽוּשָׁלִָם וְעִמּוֹ צֶמֶד חֲמוֹרִים חֲבוּשִׁים וּפִֽילַגְשׁוֹ עִמּֽוֹ׃
But the man would not tarry that night, but he rose up and departed, and came over against Jebus, which is Jerusalem; and there were with him two asses saddled, his concubine also was with him.
וַיָּסֻרוּ שָׁם לָבוֹא לָלוּן בַּגִּבְעָה וַיָּבֹא וַיֵּשֶׁב בִּרְחוֹב הָעִיר וְאֵין אִישׁ מְאַסֵּֽף-אוֹתָם הַבַּיְתָה לָלֽוּן׃
And they turned aside thither, to go in and to lodge in Gibeah: and when he went in, he sat him down in a street of the city: for there was no man that took them into his house to lodging.
וְהִנֵּה׀ אִישׁ זָקֵן בָּא מִֽן-מַעֲשֵׂהוּ מִן-הַשָּׂדֶה בָּעֶרֶב וְהָאִישׁ מֵהַר אֶפְרַיִם וְהוּא-גָר בַּגִּבְעָה וְאַנְשֵׁי הַמָּקוֹם בְּנֵי יְמִינִֽי׃
And, behold, there came an old man from his work out of the field at even, which was also of mount Ephraim; and he sojourned in Gibeah: but the men of the place were Benjamites.
וַיִּשָּׂא עֵינָיו וַיַּרְא אֶת-הָאִישׁ הָֽאֹרֵחַ בִּרְחֹב הָעִיר וַיֹּאמֶר הָאִישׁ הַזָּקֵן אָנָה תֵלֵךְ וּמֵאַיִן תָּבֽוֹא׃
And when he had lifted up his eyes, he saw a wayfaring man in the street of the city: and the old man said, Whither goest thou? and whence comest thou?
וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו עֹֽבְרִים אֲנַחְנוּ מִבֵּֽית-לֶחֶם יְהוּדָה עַד-יַרְכְּתֵי הַר-אֶפְרַיִם מִשָּׁם אָנֹכִי וָֽאֵלֵךְ עַד-בֵּית לֶחֶם יְהוּדָה וְאֶת-בֵּית יְהוָה אֲנִי הֹלֵךְ וְאֵין אִישׁ מְאַסֵּף אוֹתִי הַבָּֽיְתָה׃
And he said unto him, We are passing from Bethlehem-judah toward the side of mount Ephraim; from thence am I: and I went to Bethlehem-judah, but I am now going to the house of the LORD; and there is no man that receiveth me to house.
וַיֹּאמֶר הָאִישׁ הַזָּקֵן שָׁלוֹם לָךְ רַק כָּל-מַחְסֽוֹרְךָ עָלָי רַק בָּֽרְחוֹב אַל-תָּלַֽן׃
And the old man said, Peace be with thee; howsoever let all thy wants lie upon me; only lodge not in the street.
הֵמָּה מֵֽיטִיבִים אֶת-לִבָּם וְהִנֵּה אַנְשֵׁי הָעִיר אַנְשֵׁי בְנֵֽי-בְלִיַּעַל נָסַבּוּ אֶת-הַבַּיִת מִֽתְדַּפְּקִים עַל-הַדָּלֶת וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ אֶל-הָאִישׁ בַּעַל הַבַּיִת הַזָּקֵן לֵאמֹר הוֹצֵא אֶת-הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר-בָּא אֶל-בֵּֽיתְךָ וְנֵֽדָעֶֽנּוּ׃
Now as they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, certain sons of Belial, beset the house round about, and beat at the door, and spake to the master of the house, the old man, saying, Bring forth the man that came into thine house, that we may know him.
וַיֵּצֵא אֲלֵיהֶם הָאִישׁ בַּעַל הַבַּיִת וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵהֶם אַל-אַחַי אַל-תָּרֵעוּ נָא אַֽחֲרֵי אֲשֶׁר-בָּא הָאִישׁ הַזֶּה אַל-בֵּיתִי אַֽל-תַּעֲשׂוּ אֶת-הַנְּבָלָה הַזֹּֽאת׃
And the man, the master of the house, went out unto them, and said unto them, Nay, my brethren, nay, I pray you, do not so wickedly; seeing that this man is come into mine house, do not this folly.
הִנֵּה בִתִּי הַבְּתוּלָה וּפִֽילַגְשֵׁהוּ אוֹצִֽיאָה-נָּא אוֹתָם וְעַנּוּ אוֹתָם וַֽעֲשׂוּ לָהֶם הַטּוֹב בְּעֵֽינֵיכֶם וְלָאִישׁ הַזֶּה לֹא תַֽעֲשׂוּ דְּבַר הַנְּבָלָה הַזֹּֽאת׃
Behold, here is my daughter a maiden, and his concubine; them I will bring out now, and humble ye them, and do with them what seemeth good unto you: but unto this man do not so vile a thing.
וְלֹֽא-אָבוּ הָֽאֲנָשִׁים לִשְׁמֹעַֽ לוֹ וַיַּֽחֲזֵק הָאִישׁ בְּפִילַגְשׁוֹ וַיֹּצֵא אֲלֵיהֶם הַחוּץ וַיֵּֽדְעוּ אוֹתָהּ וַיִּֽתְעַלְּלוּ-בָהּ כָּל-הַלַּיְלָה עַד-הַבֹּקֶר וַֽיְשַׁלְּחוּהָ (בעלות) כַּעֲלוֹת הַשָּֽׁחַר׃
But the men would not hearken to him: so the man took his concubine, and brought her forth unto them; and they knew her, and abused her all the night until the morning: and when the day began to spring, they let her go.
וַתָּבֹא הָֽאִשָּׁה לִפְנוֹת הַבֹּקֶר וַתִּפֹּל פֶּתַח בֵּית-הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר-אֲדוֹנֶיהָ שָּׁם עַד-הָאֽוֹר׃
Then came the woman in the dawning of the day, and fell down at the door of the man's house where her lord was, till it was light.
וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלֶיהָ קוּמִי וְנֵלֵכָה וְאֵין עֹנֶה וַיִּקָּחֶהָ עַֽל-הַחֲמוֹר וַיָּקָם הָאִישׁ וַיֵּלֶךְ לִמְקֹמֽוֹ׃
And he said unto her, Up, and let us be going. But none answered. Then the man took her up upon an ass, and the man rose up, and gat him unto his place.
וַיֵּֽצְאוּ כָּל-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַתִּקָּהֵל הָֽעֵדָה כְּאִישׁ אֶחָד לְמִדָּן וְעַד-בְּאֵר שֶׁבַע וְאֶרֶץ הַגִּלְעָד אֶל-יְהוָה הַמִּצְפָּֽה׃
Then all the children of Israel went out, and the congregation was gathered together as one man, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, with the land of Gilead, unto the LORD in Mizpeh.
וַיִּֽתְיַצְּבוּ פִּנּוֹת כָּל-הָעָם כֹּל שִׁבְטֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל בִּקְהַל עַם הָֽאֱלֹהִים אַרְבַּע מֵאוֹת אֶלֶף אִישׁ רַגְלִי שֹׁלֵֽף חָֽרֶב׃
And the chief of all the people, even of all the tribes of Israel, presented themselves in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen that drew sword.
וַיַּעַן הָאִישׁ הַלֵּוִי אִישׁ הָֽאִשָּׁה הַנִּרְצָחָה וַיֹּאמַר הַגִּבְעָתָה אֲשֶׁר לְבִנְיָמִן בָּאתִי אֲנִי וּפִֽילַגְשִׁי לָלֽוּן׃
And the Levite, the husband of the woman that was slain, answered and said, I came into Gibeah that belongeth to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to lodge.
וַיָּקֻמוּ עָלַי בַּֽעֲלֵי הַגִּבְעָה וַיָּסֹבּוּ עָלַי אֶת-הַבַּיִת לָיְלָה אוֹתִי דִּמּוּ לַֽהֲרֹג וְאֶת-פִּֽילַגְשִׁי עִנּוּ וַתָּמֹֽת׃
And the men of Gibeah rose against me, and beset the house round about upon me by night, and thought to have slain me: and my concubine have they forced, that she is dead.
וַיָּקָם כָּל-הָעָם כְּאִישׁ אֶחָד לֵאמֹר לֹא נֵלֵךְ אִישׁ לְאָֽהֳלוֹ וְלֹא נָסוּר אִישׁ לְבֵיתֽוֹ׃
And all the people arose as one man, saying, We will not any of us go to his tent, neither will we any of us turn into his house.
וְלָקַחְנוּ עֲשָׂרָה אֲנָשִׁים לַמֵּאָה לְכֹל׀ שִׁבְטֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וּמֵאָה לָאֶלֶף וְאֶלֶף לָֽרְבָבָה לָקַחַת צֵדָה לָעָם לַֽעֲשׂוֹת לְבוֹאָם לְגֶבַע בִּנְיָמִן כְּכָל-הַנְּבָלָה אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה בְּיִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And we will take ten men of an hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and an hundred of a thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, to fetch victual for the people, that they may do, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the folly that they have wrought in Israel.
וַיֵּֽאָסֵף כָּל-אִישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל-הָעִיר כְּאִישׁ אֶחָד חֲבֵרִֽים׃
So all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, knit together as one man.
וַֽיִּשְׁלְחוּ שִׁבְטֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲנָשִׁים בְּכָל-שִׁבְטֵי בִנְיָמִן לֵאמֹר מָה הָֽרָעָה הַזֹּאת אֲשֶׁר נִֽהְיְתָה בָּכֶֽם׃
And the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, What wickedness is this that is done among you?
וְעַתָּה תְּנוּ אֶת-הָֽאֲנָשִׁים בְּנֵֽי-בְלִיַּעַל אֲשֶׁר בַּגִּבְעָה וּנְמִיתֵם וּנְבַֽעֲרָה רָעָה מִיִּשְׂרָאֵל וְלֹא אָבוּ בִּנְיָמִן לִשְׁמֹעַ בְּקוֹל אֲחֵיהֶם בְּנֵֽי-יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
Now therefore deliver us the men, the children of Belial, which are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and put away evil from Israel. But the children of Benjamin would not hearken to the voice of their brethren the children of Israel:
וַיִּתְפָּֽקְדוּ בְנֵי בִנְיָמִן בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא מֵהֶעָרִים עֶשְׂרִים וְשִׁשָּׁה אֶלֶף אִישׁ שֹׁלֵֽף חָרֶב לְבַד מִיֹּֽשְׁבֵי הַגִּבְעָה הִתְפָּקְדוּ שְׁבַע מֵאוֹת אִישׁ בָּחֽוּר׃
And the children of Benjamin were numbered at that time out of the cities twenty and six thousand men that drew sword, beside the inhabitants of Gibeah, which were numbered seven hundred chosen men.
מִכֹּל׀ הָעָם הַזֶּה שְׁבַע מֵאוֹת אִישׁ בָּחוּר אִטֵּר יַד-יְמִינוֹ כָּל-זֶה קֹלֵעַ בָּאֶבֶן אֶל-הַֽשַּׂעֲרָה וְלֹא יַֽחֲטִֽא׃
Among all this people there were seven hundred chosen men lefthanded; every one could sling stones at an hair breadth, and not miss.
וְאִישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל הִתְפָּֽקְדוּ לְבַד מִבִּנְיָמִן אַרְבַּע מֵאוֹת אֶלֶף אִישׁ שֹׁלֵֽף חָרֶב כָּל-זֶה אִישׁ מִלְחָמָֽה׃
And the men of Israel, beside Benjamin, were numbered four hundred thousand men that drew sword: all these were men of war.
וַיֵּצֵא אִישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל לַמִּלְחָמָה עִם-בִּנְיָמִן וַיַּֽעַרְכוּ אִתָּם אִֽישׁ-יִשְׂרָאֵל מִלְחָמָה אֶל-הַגִּבְעָֽה׃
And the men of Israel went out to battle against Benjamin; and the men of Israel put themselves in array to fight against them at Gibeah.
וַיֵּֽצְאוּ בְנֵֽי-בִנְיָמִן מִן-הַגִּבְעָה וַיַּשְׁחִיתוּ בְיִשְׂרָאֵל בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא שְׁנַיִם וְעֶשְׂרִים אֶלֶף אִישׁ אָֽרְצָה׃
And the children of Benjamin came forth out of Gibeah, and destroyed down to the ground of the Israelites that day twenty and two thousand men.
וַיִּתְחַזֵּק הָעָם אִישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיֹּסִפוּ לַֽעֲרֹךְ מִלְחָמָה בַּמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר-עָרְכוּ שָׁם בַּיּוֹם הָֽרִאשֽׁוֹן׃
And the people the men of Israel encouraged themselves, and set their battle again in array in the place where they put themselves in array the first day.
וַיֵּצֵא בִנְיָמִן׀ לִקְרָאתָם׀ מִֽן-הַגִּבְעָה בַּיּוֹם הַשֵּׁנִי וַיַּשְׁחִיתוּ בִבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל עוֹד שְׁמֹנַת עָשָׂר אֶלֶף אִישׁ אָרְצָה כָּל-אֵלֶּה שֹׁלְפֵי חָֽרֶב׃
And Benjamin went forth against them out of Gibeah the second day, and destroyed down to the ground of the children of Israel again eighteen thousand men; all these drew the sword.
וַיֵּֽצְאוּ בְנֵֽי-בִנְיָמִן לִקְרַאת הָעָם הָנְתְּקוּ מִן-הָעִיר וַיָּחֵלּוּ לְהַכּוֹת מֵֽהָעָם חֲלָלִים כְּפַעַם׀ בְּפַעַם בַּֽמְסִלּוֹת אֲשֶׁר אַחַת עֹלָה בֵֽית-אֵל וְאַחַת גִּבְעָתָה בַּשָּׂדֶה כִּשְׁלֹשִׁים אִישׁ בְּיִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And the children of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city; and they began to smite of the people, and kill, as at other times, in the highways, of which one goeth up to the house of God, and the other to Gibeah in the field, about thirty men of Israel.
וְכֹל׀ אִישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל קָמוּ מִמְּקוֹמוֹ וַיַּֽעַרְכוּ בְּבַעַל תָּמָר וְאֹרֵב יִשְׂרָאֵל מֵגִיחַ מִמְּקֹמוֹ מִמַּֽעֲרֵה-גָֽבַע׃
And all the men of Israel rose up out of their place, and put themselves in array at Baal-tamar: and the liers in wait of Israel came forth out of their places, even out of the meadows of Gibeah.
וַיָּבֹאוּ מִנֶּגֶד לַגִּבְעָה עֲשֶׂרֶת אֲלָפִים אִישׁ בָּחוּר מִכָּל-יִשְׂרָאֵל וְהַמִּלְחָמָה כָּבֵדָה וְהֵם לֹא יָֽדְעוּ כִּֽי-נֹגַעַת עֲלֵיהֶם הָֽרָעָֽה׃
And there came against Gibeah ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and the battle was sore: but they knew not that evil was near them.
וַיִּגֹּף יְהוָה׀ אֶֽת-בִּנְיָמִן לִפְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיַּשְׁחִיתוּ בְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּבִנְיָמִן בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא עֶשְׂרִים וַֽחֲמִשָּׁה אֶלֶף וּמֵאָה אִישׁ כָּל-אֵלֶּה שֹׁלֵֽף חָֽרֶב׃
And the LORD smote Benjamin before Israel: and the children of Israel destroyed of the Benjamites that day twenty and five thousand and an hundred men: all these drew the sword.
וַיִּרְאוּ בְנֵֽי-בִנְיָמִן כִּי נִגָּפוּ וַיִּתְּנוּ אִֽישׁ-יִשְׂרָאֵל מָקוֹם לְבִנְיָמִן כִּי בָֽטְחוּ אֶל-הָאֹרֵב אֲשֶׁר שָׂמוּ אֶל-הַגִּבְעָֽה׃
So the children of Benjamin saw that they were smitten: for the men of Israel gave place to the Benjamites, because they trusted unto the liers in wait which they had set beside Gibeah.
וְהַמּוֹעֵד הָיָה לְאִישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל עִם-הָֽאֹרֵב הֶרֶב לְהַֽעֲלוֹתָם מַשְׂאַת הֶֽעָשָׁן מִן-הָעִֽיר׃
Now there was an appointed sign between the men of Israel and the liers in wait, that they should make a great flame with smoke rise up out of the city.
וַיַּֽהֲפֹךְ אִֽישׁ-יִשְׂרָאֵל בַּמִּלְחָמָה וּבִנְיָמִן הֵחֵל לְהַכּוֹת חֲלָלִים בְּאִֽישׁ-יִשְׂרָאֵל כִּשְׁלֹשִׁים אִישׁ כִּי אָֽמְרוּ אַךְ נִגּוֹף נִגָּף הוּא לְפָנֵינוּ כַּמִּלְחָמָה הָרִֽאשֹׁנָֽה׃
And when the men of Israel retired in the battle, Benjamin began to smite and kill of the men of Israel about thirty persons: for they said, Surely they are smitten down before us, as in the first battle.
וְאִישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל הָפַךְ וַיִּבָּהֵל אִישׁ בִּנְיָמִן כִּי רָאָה כִּֽי-נָגְעָה עָלָיו הָֽרָעָֽה׃
And when the men of Israel turned again, the men of Benjamin were amazed: for they saw that evil was come upon them.
וַיִּפְנוּ לִפְנֵי אִישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל-דֶּרֶךְ הַמִּדְבָּר וְהַמִּלְחָמָה הִדְבִּיקָתְהוּ וַֽאֲשֶׁר מֵהֶעָרִים מַשְׁחִיתִים אוֹתוֹ בְּתוֹכֽוֹ׃
Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel unto the way of the wilderness; but the battle overtook them; and them which came out of the cities they destroyed in the midst of them.
