Verses 1901–2000 of 5574 (page 20 of 56)
וּבְנֵי עֵלִי בְּנֵי בְלִיָּעַל לֹא יָֽדְעוּ אֶת-יְהוָֽה׃
Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the LORD.
וַתְּהִי חַטַּאת הַנְּעָרִים גְּדוֹלָה מְאֹד אֶת-פְּנֵי יְהוָה כִּי נִֽאֲצוּ הָֽאֲנָשִׁים אֵת מִנְחַת יְהוָֽה׃
Wherefore the sin of the young men was very great before the LORD: for men abhorred the offering of the LORD.
וּשְׁמוּאֵל מְשָׁרֵת אֶת-פְּנֵי יְהוָה נַעַר חָגוּר אֵפוֹד בָּֽד׃
But Samuel ministered before the LORD, being a child, girded with a linen ephod.
וּבֵרַךְ עֵלִי אֶת-אֶלְקָנָה וְאֶת-אִשְׁתּוֹ וְאָמַר יָשֵׂם יְהוָה לְךָ זֶרַע מִן-הָֽאִשָּׁה הַזֹּאת תַּחַת הַשְּׁאֵלָה אֲשֶׁר שָׁאַל לַֽיהוָה וְהָֽלְכוּ לִמְקוֹמֽוֹ׃
And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, The LORD give thee seed of this woman for the loan which is lent to the LORD. And they went unto their own home.
כִּֽי-פָקַד יְהוָה אֶת-חַנָּה וַתַּהַר וַתֵּלֶד שְׁלֹשָֽׁה-בָנִים וּשְׁתֵּי בָנוֹת וַיִּגְדַּל הַנַּעַר שְׁמוּאֵל עִם-יְהוָֽה׃
And the LORD visited Hannah, so that she conceived, and bare three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the LORD.
אַל בָּנָי כִּי לֽוֹא-טוֹבָה הַשְּׁמֻעָה אֲשֶׁר אָֽנֹכִי שֹׁמֵעַ מַֽעֲבִרִים עַם-יְהוָֽה׃
Nay, my sons; for it is no good report that I hear: ye make the LORD's people to transgress.
אִם-יֶֽחֱטָא אִישׁ לְאִישׁ וּפִֽלְלוֹ אֱלֹהִים וְאִם לַֽיהוָה יֶֽחֱטָא-אִישׁ מִי יִתְפַּלֶּל-לוֹ וְלֹא יִשְׁמְעוּ לְקוֹל אֲבִיהֶם כִּֽי-חָפֵץ יְהוָה לַֽהֲמִיתָֽם׃
If one man sin against another, the judge shall judge him: but if a man sin against the LORD, who shall intreat for him? Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto the voice of their father, because the LORD would slay them.
וְהַנַּעַר שְׁמוּאֵל הֹלֵךְ וְגָדֵל וָטוֹב גַּם עִם-יְהוָה וְגַם עִם-אֲנָשִֽׁים׃
And the child Samuel grew on, and was in favour both with the LORD, and also with men.
וַיָּבֹא אִישׁ-אֱלֹהִים אֶל-עֵלִי וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה הֲנִגְלֹה נִגְלֵיתִי אֶל-בֵּית אָבִיךָ בִּֽהְיוֹתָם בְּמִצְרַיִם לְבֵית פַּרְעֹֽה׃
And there came a man of God unto Eli, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Did I plainly appear unto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh's house?
לָכֵן נְאֻם-יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אָמוֹר אָמַרְתִּי בֵּֽיתְךָ וּבֵית אָבִיךָ יִתְהַלְּכוּ לְפָנַי עַד-עוֹלָם וְעַתָּה נְאֻם-יְהוָה חָלִילָה לִּי כִּֽי-מְכַבְּדַי אֲכַבֵּד וּבֹזַי יֵקָֽלּוּ׃
Wherefore the LORD God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.
וְהַנַּעַר שְׁמוּאֵל מְשָׁרֵת אֶת-יְהוָה לִפְנֵי עֵלִי וּדְבַר-יְהוָה הָיָה יָקָר בַּיָּמִים הָהֵם אֵין חָזוֹן נִפְרָֽץ׃
And the child Samuel ministered unto the LORD before Eli. And the word of the LORD was precious in those days; there was no open vision.
וְנֵר אֱלֹהִים טֶרֶם יִכְבֶּה וּשְׁמוּאֵל שֹׁכֵב בְּהֵיכַל יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר-שָׁם אֲרוֹן אֱלֹהִֽים׃
And ere the lamp of God went out in the temple of the LORD, where the ark of God was, and Samuel was laid down to sleep;
וַיִּקְרָא יְהוָה אֶל-שְׁמוּאֵל וַיֹּאמֶר הִנֵּֽנִי׃
That the LORD called Samuel: and he answered, Here am I.
וַיֹּסֶף יְהוָה קְרֹא עוֹד שְׁמוּאֵל וַיָּקָם שְׁמוּאֵל וַיֵּלֶךְ אֶל-עֵלִי וַיֹּאמֶר הִנְנִי כִּי קָרָאתָ לִי וַיֹּאמֶר לֹֽא-קָרָאתִי בְנִי שׁוּב שְׁכָֽב׃
And the LORD called yet again, Samuel. And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And he answered, I called not, my son; lie down again.
וּשְׁמוּאֵל טֶרֶם יָדַע אֶת-יְהוָה וְטֶרֶם יִגָּלֶה אֵלָיו דְּבַר-יְהוָֽה׃
Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, neither was the word of the LORD yet revealed unto him.
וַיֹּסֶף יְהוָה קְרֹא-שְׁמוּאֵל בַּשְּׁלִישִׁת וַיָּקָם וַיֵּלֶךְ אֶל-עֵלִי וַיֹּאמֶר הִנְנִי כִּי קָרָאתָ לִי וַיָּבֶן עֵלִי כִּי יְהוָה קֹרֵא לַנָּֽעַר׃
And the LORD called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And Eli perceived that the LORD had called the child.
וַיֹּאמֶר עֵלִי לִשְׁמוּאֵל לֵךְ שְׁכָב וְהָיָה אִם-יִקְרָא אֵלֶיךָ וְאָֽמַרְתָּ דַּבֵּר יְהוָה כִּי שֹׁמֵעַ עַבְדֶּךָ וַיֵּלֶךְ שְׁמוּאֵל וַיִּשְׁכַּב בִּמְקוֹמֽוֹ׃
Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, LORD; for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
וַיָּבֹא יְהוָה וַיִּתְיַצַּב וַיִּקְרָא כְפַֽעַם-בְּפַעַם שְׁמוּאֵל׀ שְׁמוּאֵל וַיֹּאמֶר שְׁמוּאֵל דַּבֵּר כִּי שֹׁמֵעַ עַבְדֶּֽךָ׃
And the LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth.
וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל-שְׁמוּאֵל הִנֵּה אָֽנֹכִי עֹשֶׂה דָבָר בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר כָּל-שֹׁמְעוֹ תְּצִלֶּינָה שְׁתֵּי אָזְנָֽיו׃
And the LORD said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle.
וַיִּשְׁכַּב שְׁמוּאֵל עַד-הַבֹּקֶר וַיִּפְתַּח אֶת-דַּלְתוֹת בֵּית-יְהוָה וּשְׁמוּאֵל יָרֵא מֵֽהַגִּיד אֶת-הַמַּרְאָה אֶל-עֵלִֽי׃
And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of the LORD. And Samuel feared to shew Eli the vision.
וַיַּגֶּד-לוֹ שְׁמוּאֵל אֶת-כָּל-הַדְּבָרִים וְלֹא כִחֵד מִמֶּנּוּ וַיֹּאמַר יְהוָה הוּא הַטּוֹב בְּעֵינָו יַֽעֲשֶֽׂה׃
And Samuel told him every whit, and hid nothing from him. And he said, It is the LORD: let him do what seemeth him good.
וַיִּגְדַּל שְׁמוּאֵל וַֽיהוָה הָיָה עִמּוֹ וְלֹֽא-הִפִּיל מִכָּל-דְּבָרָיו אָֽרְצָה׃
And Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground.
וַיֵּדַע כָּל-יִשְׂרָאֵל מִדָּן וְעַד-בְּאֵר שָׁבַע כִּי נֶֽאֱמָן שְׁמוּאֵל לְנָבִיא לַֽיהוָֽה׃
And all Israel from Dan even to Beer-sheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the LORD.
וַיֹּסֶף יְהוָה לְהֵֽרָאֹה בְשִׁלֹה כִּֽי-נִגְלָה יְהוָה אֶל-שְׁמוּאֵל בְּשִׁלוֹ בִּדְבַר יְהוָֽה׃
And the LORD appeared again in Shiloh: for the LORD revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the LORD.
וַיָּבֹא הָעָם אֶל-הַֽמַּחֲנֶה וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ זִקְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לָמָּה נְגָפָנוּ יְהוָה הַיּוֹם לִפְנֵי פְלִשְׁתִּים נִקְחָה אֵלֵינוּ מִשִּׁלֹה אֶת-אֲרוֹן בְּרִית יְהוָה וְיָבֹא בְקִרְבֵּנוּ וְיֹֽשִׁעֵנוּ מִכַּף אֹֽיְבֵֽינוּ׃
And when the people were come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, Wherefore hath the LORD smitten us to day before the Philistines? Let us fetch the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of Shiloh unto us, that, when it cometh among us, it may save us out of the hand of our enemies.
וַיִּשְׁלַח הָעָם שִׁלֹה וַיִּשְׂאוּ מִשָּׁם אֵת אֲרוֹן בְּרִית-יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת יֹשֵׁב הַכְּרֻבִים וְשָׁם שְׁנֵי בְנֵֽי-עֵלִי עִם-אֲרוֹן בְּרִית הָֽאֱלֹהִים חָפְנִי וּפִֽינְחָֽס׃
So the people sent to Shiloh, that they might bring from thence the ark of the covenant of the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth between the cherubims: and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.
וַיְהִי כְּבוֹא אֲרוֹן בְּרִית-יְהוָה אֶל-הַֽמַּחֲנֶה וַיָּרִעוּ כָל-יִשְׂרָאֵל תְּרוּעָה גְדוֹלָה וַתֵּהֹם הָאָֽרֶץ׃
And when the ark of the covenant of the LORD came into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth rang again.
וַיִּשְׁמְעוּ פְלִשְׁתִּים אֶת-קוֹל הַתְּרוּעָה וַיֹּאמְרוּ מֶה קוֹל הַתְּרוּעָה הַגְּדוֹלָה הַזֹּאת בְּמַֽחֲנֵה הָֽעִבְרִים וַיֵּדְעוּ כִּי אֲרוֹן יְהוָה בָּא אֶל-הַֽמַּחֲנֶֽה׃
And when the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, What meaneth the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of the LORD was come into the camp.
וַיַּשְׁכִּמוּ אַשְׁדּוֹדִים מִֽמָּחֳרָת וְהִנֵּה דָגוֹן נֹפֵל לְפָנָיו אַרְצָה לִפְנֵי אֲרוֹן יְהוָה וַיִּקְחוּ אֶת-דָּגוֹן וַיָּשִׁבוּ אֹתוֹ לִמְקוֹמֽוֹ׃
And when they of Ashdod arose early on the morrow, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the earth before the ark of the LORD. And they took Dagon, and set him in his place again.
וַיַּשְׁכִּמוּ בַבֹּקֶר מִֽמָּחֳרָת וְהִנֵּה דָגוֹן נֹפֵל לְפָנָיו אַרְצָה לִפְנֵי אֲרוֹן יְהוָה וְרֹאשׁ דָּגוֹן וּשְׁתֵּי׀ כַּפּוֹת יָדָיו כְּרֻתוֹת אֶל-הַמִּפְתָּן רַק דָּגוֹן נִשְׁאַר עָלָֽיו׃
And when they arose early on the morrow morning, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of the LORD; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off upon the threshold; only the stump of Dagon was left to him.
וַתִּכְבַּד יַד-יְהוָה אֶל-הָֽאַשְׁדּוֹדִים וַיְשִׁמֵּם וַיַּךְ אֹתָם (בעפלים) בַּטְּחֹרִים אֶת-אַשְׁדּוֹד וְאֶת-גְּבוּלֶֽיהָ׃
But the hand of the LORD was heavy upon them of Ashdod, and he destroyed them, and smote them with emerods, even Ashdod and the coasts thereof.
וַיְהִי אַֽחֲרֵי׀ הֵסַבּוּ אֹתוֹ וַתְּהִי יַד-יְהוָה׀ בָּעִיר מְהוּמָה גְּדוֹלָה מְאֹד וַיַּךְ אֶת-אַנְשֵׁי הָעִיר מִקָּטֹן וְעַד-גָּדוֹל וַיִּשָּֽׂתְרוּ לָהֶם (עפלים) טְחֹרִֽים׃
And it was so, that, after they had carried it about, the hand of the LORD was against the city with a very great destruction: and he smote the men of the city, both small and great, and they had emerods in their secret parts.
וַיְהִי אֲרוֹן-יְהוָה בִּשְׂדֵה פְלִשְׁתִּים שִׁבְעָה חֳדָשִֽׁים׃
And the ark of the LORD was in the country of the Philistines seven months.
וַיִּקְרְאוּ פְלִשְׁתִּים לַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְלַקֹּֽסְמִים לֵאמֹר מַֽה-נַּעֲשֶׂה לַֽאֲרוֹן יְהוָה הֽוֹדִעֻנוּ בַּמֶּה נְשַׁלְּחֶנּוּ לִמְקוֹמֽוֹ׃
And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, What shall we do to the ark of the LORD? tell us wherewith we shall send it to his place.
וּלְקַחְתֶּם אֶת-אֲרוֹן יְהוָה וּנְתַתֶּם אֹתוֹ אֶל-הָעֲגָלָה וְאֵת׀ כְּלֵי הַזָּהָב אֲשֶׁר הֲשֵֽׁבֹתֶם לוֹ אָשָׁם תָּשִׂימוּ בָֽאַרְגַּז מִצִּדּוֹ וְשִׁלַּחְתֶּם אֹתוֹ וְהָלָֽךְ׃
And take the ark of the LORD, and lay it upon the cart; and put the jewels of gold, which ye return him for a trespass offering, in a coffer by the side thereof; and send it away, that it may go.
וַיָּשִׂמוּ אֶת-אֲרוֹן יְהוָה אֶל-הָֽעֲגָלָה וְאֵת הָֽאַרְגַּז וְאֵת עַכְבְּרֵי הַזָּהָב וְאֵת צַלְמֵי טְחֹֽרֵיהֶֽם׃
And they laid the ark of the LORD upon the cart, and the coffer with the mice of gold and the images of their emerods.
וְהָֽעֲגָלָה בָּאָה אֶל-שְׂדֵה יְהוֹשֻׁעַ בֵּֽית-הַשִּׁמְשִׁי וַתַּֽעֲמֹד שָׁם וְשָׁם אֶבֶן גְּדוֹלָה וַֽיְבַקְּעוּ אֶת-עֲצֵי הָֽעֲגָלָה וְאֶת-הַפָּרוֹת הֶֽעֱלוּ עֹלָה לַֽיהוָֽה׃
And the cart came into the field of Joshua, a Beth-shemite, and stood there, where there was a great stone: and they clave the wood of the cart, and offered the kine a burnt offering unto the LORD.
וְהַלְוִיִּם הוֹרִידוּ׀ אֶת-אֲרוֹן יְהוָה וְאֶת-הָֽאַרְגַּז אֲשֶׁר-אִתּוֹ אֲשֶׁר-בּוֹ כְלֵֽי-זָהָב וַיָּשִׂמוּ אֶל-הָאֶבֶן הַגְּדוֹלָה וְאַנְשֵׁי בֵֽית-שֶׁמֶשׁ הֶֽעֱלוּ עֹלוֹת וַֽיִּזְבְּחוּ זְבָחִים בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא לַֽיהוָֽה׃
And the Levites took down the ark of the LORD, and the coffer that was with it, wherein the jewels of gold were, and put them on the great stone: and the men of Beth-shemesh offered burnt offerings and sacrificed sacrifices the same day unto the LORD.
וְאֵלֶּה טְחֹרֵי הַזָּהָב אֲשֶׁר הֵשִׁיבוּ פְלִשְׁתִּים אָשָׁם לַֽיהוָה לְאַשְׁדּוֹד אֶחָד לְעַזָּה אֶחָד לְאַשְׁקְלוֹן אֶחָד לְגַת אֶחָד לְעֶקְרוֹן אֶחָֽד׃
And these are the golden emerods which the Philistines returned for a trespass offering unto the LORD; for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Askelon one, for Gath one, for Ekron one;
וְעַכְבְּרֵי הַזָּהָב מִסְפַּר כָּל-עָרֵי פְלִשְׁתִּים לַֽחֲמֵשֶׁת הַסְּרָנִים מֵעִיר מִבְצָר וְעַד כֹּפֶר הַפְּרָזִי וְעַד׀ אָבֵל הַגְּדוֹלָה אֲשֶׁר הִנִּיחוּ עָלֶיהָ אֵת אֲרוֹן יְהוָה עַד הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה בִּשְׂדֵה יְהוֹשֻׁעַ בֵּֽית-הַשִּׁמְשִֽׁי׃
And the golden mice, according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five lords, both of fenced cities, and of country villages, even unto the great stone of Abel, whereon they set down the ark of the LORD: which stone remaineth unto this day in the field of Joshua, the Beth-shemite.
וַיַּךְ בְּאַנְשֵׁי בֵֽית-שֶׁמֶשׁ כִּי רָאוּ בַּֽאֲרוֹן יְהוָה וַיַּךְ בָּעָם שִׁבְעִים אִישׁ חֲמִשִּׁים אֶלֶף אִישׁ וַיִּֽתְאַבְּלוּ הָעָם כִּֽי-הִכָּה יְהוָה בָּעָם מַכָּה גְדוֹלָֽה׃
And he smote the men of Beth-shemesh, because they had looked into the ark of the LORD, even he smote of the people fifty thousand and threescore and ten men: and the people lamented, because the LORD had smitten many of the people with a great slaughter.
וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ אַנְשֵׁי בֵֽית-שֶׁמֶשׁ מִי יוּכַל לַֽעֲמֹד לִפְנֵי יְהוָה הָֽאֱלֹהִים הַקָּדוֹשׁ הַזֶּה וְאֶל-מִי יַֽעֲלֶה מֵֽעָלֵֽינוּ׃
And the men of Beth-shemesh said, Who is able to stand before this holy LORD God? and to whom shall he go up from us?
וַֽיִּשְׁלְחוּ מַלְאָכִים אֶל-יֽוֹשְׁבֵי קִרְיַת-יְעָרִים לֵאמֹר הֵשִׁבוּ פְלִשְׁתִּים אֶת-אֲרוֹן יְהוָה רְדוּ הַֽעֲלוּ אֹתוֹ אֲלֵיכֶֽם׃
And they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kirjath-jearim, saying, The Philistines have brought again the ark of the LORD; come ye down, and fetch it up to you.
וַיָּבֹאוּ אַנְשֵׁי׀ קִרְיַת יְעָרִים וַֽיַּעֲלוּ אֶת-אֲרוֹן יְהוָה וַיָּבִאוּ אֹתוֹ אֶל-בֵּית אֲבִֽינָדָב בַּגִּבְעָה וְאֶת-אֶלְעָזָר בְּנוֹ קִדְּשׁוּ לִשְׁמֹר אֶת-אֲרוֹן יְהוָֽה׃
And the men of Kirjath-jearim came, and fetched up the ark of the LORD, and brought it into the house of Abinadab in the hill, and sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the LORD.
וַיְהִי מִיּוֹם שֶׁבֶת הָֽאָרוֹן בְּקִרְיַת יְעָרִים וַיִּרְבּוּ הַיָּמִים וַיִּֽהְיוּ עֶשְׂרִים שָׁנָה וַיִּנָּהוּ כָּל-בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל אַֽחֲרֵי יְהוָֽה׃
And it came to pass, while the ark abode in Kirjath-jearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented after the LORD.
וַיֹּאמֶר שְׁמוּאֵל אֶל-כָּל-בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל לֵאמֹר אִם-בְּכָל-לְבַבְכֶם אַתֶּם שָׁבִים אֶל-יְהוָה הָסִירוּ אֶת-אֱלֹהֵי הַנֵּכָר מִתּֽוֹכְכֶם וְהָֽעַשְׁתָּרוֹת וְהָכִינוּ לְבַבְכֶם אֶל-יְהוָה וְעִבְדֻהוּ לְבַדּוֹ וְיַצֵּל אֶתְכֶם מִיַּד פְּלִשְׁתִּֽים׃
And Samuel spake unto all the house of Israel, saying, If ye do return unto the LORD with all your hearts, then put away the strange gods and Ashtaroth from among you, and prepare your hearts unto the LORD, and serve him only: and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.
וַיָּסִירוּ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶת-הַבְּעָלִים וְאֶת-הָֽעַשְׁתָּרֹת וַיַּֽעַבְדוּ אֶת-יְהוָה לְבַדּֽוֹ׃
Then the children of Israel did put away Baalim and Ashtaroth, and served the LORD only.
וַיֹּאמֶר שְׁמוּאֵל קִבְצוּ אֶת-כָּל-יִשְׂרָאֵל הַמִּצְפָּתָה וְאֶתְפַּלֵּל בַּֽעַדְכֶם אֶל-יְהוָֽה׃
And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpeh, and I will pray for you unto the LORD.
וַיִּקָּֽבְצוּ הַמִּצְפָּתָה וַיִּֽשְׁאֲבוּ-מַיִם וַֽיִּשְׁפְּכוּ׀ לִפְנֵי יְהוָה וַיָּצוּמוּ בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא וַיֹּאמְרוּ שָׁם חָטָאנוּ לַֽיהוָה וַיִּשְׁפֹּט שְׁמוּאֵל אֶת-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל בַּמִּצְפָּֽה׃
And they gathered together to Mizpeh, and drew water, and poured it out before the LORD, and fasted on that day, and said there, We have sinned against the LORD. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpeh.
וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ בְנֵֽי-יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל-שְׁמוּאֵל אַל-תַּֽחֲרֵשׁ מִמֶּנּוּ מִזְּעֹק אֶל-יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ וְיֹֽשִׁעֵנוּ מִיַּד פְּלִשְׁתִּֽים׃
And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to cry unto the LORD our God for us, that he will save us out of the hand of the Philistines.
וַיִּקַּח שְׁמוּאֵל טְלֵה חָלָב אֶחָד (ויעלה) וַיַּעֲלֵהוּ עוֹלָה כָּלִיל לַֽיהוָה וַיִּזְעַק שְׁמוּאֵל אֶל-יְהוָה בְּעַד יִשְׂרָאֵל וַֽיַּעֲנֵהוּ יְהוָֽה׃
And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered it for a burnt offering wholly unto the LORD: and Samuel cried unto the LORD for Israel; and the LORD heard him.
וַיְהִי שְׁמוּאֵל מַֽעֲלֶה הָֽעוֹלָה וּפְלִשְׁתִּים נִגְּשׁוּ לַמִּלְחָמָה בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל וַיַּרְעֵם יְהוָה׀ בְּקוֹל-גָּדוֹל בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא עַל-פְּלִשְׁתִּים וַיְהֻמֵּם וַיִּנָּֽגְפוּ לִפְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And as Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel: but the LORD thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and discomfited them; and they were smitten before Israel.
וַיִּקַּח שְׁמוּאֵל אֶבֶן אַחַת וַיָּשֶׂם בֵּֽין-הַמִּצְפָּה וּבֵין הַשֵּׁן וַיִּקְרָא אֶת-שְׁמָהּ אֶבֶן הָעָזֶר וַיֹּאמַר עַד-הֵנָּה עֲזָרָנוּ יְהוָֽה׃
Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name of it Eben-ezer, saying, Hitherto hath the LORD helped us.
וַיִּכָּֽנְעוּ הַפְּלִשְׁתִּים וְלֹֽא-יָסְפוּ עוֹד לָבוֹא בִּגְבוּל יִשְׂרָאֵל וַתְּהִי יַד-יְהוָה בַּפְּלִשְׁתִּים כֹּל יְמֵי שְׁמוּאֵֽל׃
So the Philistines were subdued, and they came no more into the coast of Israel: and the hand of the LORD was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.
וּתְשֻֽׁבָתוֹ הָֽרָמָתָה כִּֽי-שָׁם בֵּיתוֹ וְשָׁם שָׁפָט אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיִּֽבֶן-שָׁם מִזְבֵּחַ לַֽיהוָֽה׃
And his return was to Ramah; for there was his house; and there he judged Israel; and there he built an altar unto the LORD.
וַיֵּרַע הַדָּבָר בְּעֵינֵי שְׁמוּאֵל כַּֽאֲשֶׁר אָֽמְרוּ תְּנָה-לָּנוּ מֶלֶךְ לְשָׁפְטֵנוּ וַיִּתְפַּלֵּל שְׁמוּאֵל אֶל-יְהוָֽה׃
But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the LORD.
וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל-שְׁמוּאֵל שְׁמַע בְּקוֹל הָעָם לְכֹל אֲשֶׁר-יֹֽאמְרוּ אֵלֶיךָ כִּי לֹא אֹֽתְךָ מָאָסוּ כִּֽי-אֹתִי מָאֲסוּ מִמְּלֹךְ עֲלֵיהֶֽם׃
And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.
וַיֹּאמֶר שְׁמוּאֵל אֵת כָּל-דִּבְרֵי יְהוָה אֶל-הָעָם הַשֹּֽׁאֲלִים מֵֽאִתּוֹ מֶֽלֶךְ׃
And Samuel told all the words of the LORD unto the people that asked of him a king.
וּזְעַקְתֶּם בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא מִלִּפְנֵי מַלְכְּכֶם אֲשֶׁר בְּחַרְתֶּם לָכֶם וְלֹֽא-יַעֲנֶה יְהוָה אֶתְכֶם בַּיּוֹם הַהֽוּא׃
And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the LORD will not hear you in that day.
וַיִּשְׁמַע שְׁמוּאֵל אֵת כָּל-דִּבְרֵי הָעָם וַֽיְדַבְּרֵם בְּאָזְנֵי יְהוָֽה׃
And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he rehearsed them in the ears of the LORD.
וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל-שְׁמוּאֵל שְׁמַע בְּקוֹלָם וְהִמְלַכְתָּ לָהֶם מֶלֶךְ וַיֹּאמֶר שְׁמוּאֵל אֶל-אַנְשֵׁי יִשְׂרָאֵל לְכוּ אִישׁ לְעִירֽוֹ׃
And the LORD said to Samuel, Hearken unto their voice, and make them a king. And Samuel said unto the men of Israel, Go ye every man unto his city.
וַֽיהוָה גָּלָה אֶת-אֹזֶן שְׁמוּאֵל יוֹם אֶחָד לִפְנֵי בֽוֹא-שָׁאוּל לֵאמֹֽר׃
Now the LORD had told Samuel in his ear a day before Saul came, saying,
וּשְׁמוּאֵל רָאָה אֶת-שָׁאוּל וַֽיהוָה עָנָהוּ הִנֵּה הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר אָמַרְתִּי אֵלֶיךָ זֶה יַעְצֹר בְּעַמִּֽי׃
And when Samuel saw Saul, the LORD said unto him, Behold the man whom I spake to thee of! this same shall reign over my people.
וַיִּקַּח שְׁמוּאֵל אֶת-פַּךְ הַשֶּׁמֶן וַיִּצֹק עַל-רֹאשׁוֹ וַיִּשָּׁקֵהוּ וַיֹּאמֶר הֲלוֹא כִּֽי-מְשָׁחֲךָ יְהוָה עַל-נַֽחֲלָתוֹ לְנָגִֽיד׃
Then Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said, Is it not because the LORD hath anointed thee to be captain over his inheritance?
וְצָֽלְחָה עָלֶיךָ רוּחַ יְהוָה וְהִתְנַבִּיתָ עִמָּם וְנֶהְפַּכְתָּ לְאִישׁ אַחֵֽר׃
And the Spirit of the LORD will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man.
וַיַּצְעֵק שְׁמוּאֵל אֶת-הָעָם אֶל-יְהוָה הַמִּצְפָּֽה׃
And Samuel called the people together unto the LORD to Mizpeh;
וַיֹּאמֶר׀ אֶל-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל כֹּֽה-אָמַר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אָֽנֹכִי הֶֽעֱלֵיתִי אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵל מִמִּצְרָיִם וָֽאַצִּיל אֶתְכֶם מִיַּד מִצְרַיִם וּמִיַּד כָּל-הַמַּמְלָכוֹת הַלֹּֽחֲצִים אֶתְכֶֽם׃
And said unto the children of Israel, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all kingdoms, and of them that oppressed you:
וְאַתֶּם הַיּוֹם מְאַסְתֶּם אֶת-אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם אֲשֶׁר-הוּא מוֹשִׁיעַ לָכֶם מִכָּל-רָעֽוֹתֵיכֶם וְצָרֹֽתֵיכֶם וַתֹּאמְרוּ לוֹ כִּי-מֶלֶךְ תָּשִׂים עָלֵינוּ וְעַתָּה הִֽתְיַצְּבוּ לִפְנֵי יְהוָה לְשִׁבְטֵיכֶם וּלְאַלְפֵיכֶֽם׃
And ye have this day rejected your God, who himself saved you out of all your adversities and your tribulations; and ye have said unto him, Nay, but set a king over us. Now therefore present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes, and by your thousands.
וַיִּשְׁאֲלוּ-עוֹד בַּֽיהוָה הֲבָא עוֹד הֲלֹם אִישׁ וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה הִנֵּה-הוּא נֶחְבָּא אֶל-הַכֵּלִֽים׃
Therefore they inquired of the LORD further, if the man should yet come thither. And the LORD answered, Behold, he hath hid himself among the stuff.
וַיֹּאמֶר שְׁמוּאֵל אֶל-כָּל-הָעָם הַרְּאִיתֶם אֲשֶׁר בָּֽחַר-בּוֹ יְהוָה כִּי אֵין כָּמֹהוּ בְּכָל-הָעָם וַיָּרִעוּ כָל-הָעָם וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ יְחִי הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃
And Samuel said to all the people, See ye him whom the LORD hath chosen, that there is none like him among all the people? And all the people shouted, and said, God save the king.
וַיְדַבֵּר שְׁמוּאֵל אֶל-הָעָם אֵת מִשְׁפַּט הַמְּלֻכָה וַיִּכְתֹּב בַּסֵּפֶר וַיַּנַּח לִפְנֵי יְהוָה וַיְשַׁלַּח שְׁמוּאֵל אֶת-כָּל-הָעָם אִישׁ לְבֵיתֽוֹ׃
Then Samuel told the people the manner of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book, and laid it up before the LORD. And Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house.
וַיִּקַּח צֶמֶד בָּקָר וַֽיְנַתְּחֵהוּ וַיְשַׁלַּח בְּכָל-גְּבוּל יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּיַד הַמַּלְאָכִים׀ לֵאמֹר אֲשֶׁר אֵינֶנּוּ יֹצֵא אַֽחֲרֵי שָׁאוּל וְאַחַר שְׁמוּאֵל כֹּה יֵֽעָשֶׂה לִבְקָרוֹ וַיִּפֹּל פַּֽחַד-יְהוָה עַל-הָעָם וַיֵּֽצְאוּ כְּאִישׁ אֶחָֽד׃
And he took a yoke of oxen, and hewed them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the coasts of Israel by the hands of messengers, saying, Whosoever cometh not forth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done unto his oxen. And the fear of the LORD fell on the people, and they came out with one consent.
וַיֹּאמֶר שָׁאוּל לֹֽא-יוּמַת אִישׁ בַּיּוֹם הַזֶּה כִּי הַיּוֹם עָשָֽׂה-יְהוָה תְּשׁוּעָה בְּיִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And Saul said, There shall not a man be put to death this day: for to day the LORD hath wrought salvation in Israel.
וַיֵּֽלְכוּ כָל-הָעָם הַגִּלְגָּל וַיַּמְלִכוּ שָׁם אֶת-שָׁאוּל לִפְנֵי יְהוָה בַּגִּלְגָּל וַיִּזְבְּחוּ-שָׁם זְבָחִים שְׁלָמִים לִפְנֵי יְהוָה וַיִּשְׂמַח שָׁם שָׁאוּל וְכָל-אַנְשֵׁי יִשְׂרָאֵל עַד-מְאֹֽד׃
And all the people went to Gilgal; and there they made Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal; and there they sacrificed sacrifices of peace offerings before the LORD; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.
הִנְנִי עֲנוּ בִי נֶגֶד יְהוָה וְנֶגֶד מְשִׁיחוֹ אֶת-שׁוֹר׀ מִי לָקַחְתִּי וַֽחֲמוֹר מִי לָקַחְתִּי וְאֶת-מִי עָשַׁקְתִּי אֶת-מִי רַצּוֹתִי וּמִיַּד-מִי לָקַחְתִּי כֹפֶר וְאַעְלִים עֵינַי בּוֹ וְאָשִׁיב לָכֶֽם׃
Behold, here I am: witness against me before the LORD, and before his anointed: whose ox have I taken? or whose ass have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I oppressed? or of whose hand have I received any bribe to blind mine eyes therewith? and I will restore it you.
וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם עֵד יְהוָה בָּכֶם וְעֵד מְשִׁיחוֹ הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה כִּי לֹא מְצָאתֶם בְּיָדִי מְאוּמָה וַיֹּאמֶר עֵֽד׃
And he said unto them, The LORD is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that ye have not found ought in my hand. And they answered, He is witness.
וַיֹּאמֶר שְׁמוּאֵל אֶל-הָעָם יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה אֶת-מֹשֶׁה וְאֶֽת-אַהֲרֹן וַֽאֲשֶׁר הֶֽעֱלָה אֶת-אֲבֹֽתֵיכֶם מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרָֽיִם׃
And Samuel said unto the people, It is the LORD that advanced Moses and Aaron, and that brought up your fathers out of the land of Egypt.
וְעַתָּה הִֽתְיַצְּבוּ וְאִשָּֽׁפְטָה אִתְּכֶם לִפְנֵי יְהוָה אֵת כָּל-צִדְקוֹת יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר-עָשָׂה אִתְּכֶם וְאֶת-אֲבֽוֹתֵיכֶֽם׃
Now therefore stand still, that I may reason with you before the LORD of all the righteous acts of the LORD, which he did to you and to your fathers.
כַּֽאֲשֶׁר-בָּא יַֽעֲקֹב מִצְרָיִם וַיִּזְעֲקוּ אֲבֽוֹתֵיכֶם אֶל-יְהוָה וַיִּשְׁלַח יְהוָה אֶת-מֹשֶׁה וְאֶֽת-אַהֲרֹן וַיּוֹצִיאוּ אֶת-אֲבֹֽתֵיכֶם מִמִּצְרַיִם וַיֹּֽשִׁבוּם בַּמָּקוֹם הַזֶּֽה׃
When Jacob was come into Egypt, and your fathers cried unto the LORD, then the LORD sent Moses and Aaron, which brought forth your fathers out of Egypt, and made them dwell in this place.
וַֽיִּשְׁכְּחוּ אֶת-יְהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיהֶם וַיִּמְכֹּר אֹתָם בְּיַד סִֽיסְרָא שַׂר-צְבָא חָצוֹר וּבְיַד-פְּלִשְׁתִּים וּבְיַד מֶלֶךְ מוֹאָב וַיִּֽלָּחֲמוּ בָּֽם׃
And when they forgat the LORD their God, he sold them into the hand of Sisera, captain of the host of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab, and they fought against them.
וַיִּזְעֲקוּ אֶל-יְהוָה (ויאמר) וַיֹּאמְרוּ חָטָאנוּ כִּי עָזַבְנוּ אֶת-יְהוָה וַנַּֽעֲבֹד אֶת-הַבְּעָלִים וְאֶת-הָֽעַשְׁתָּרוֹת וְעַתָּה הַצִּילֵנוּ מִיַּד אֹֽיְבֵינוּ וְנַֽעַבְדֶֽךָּ׃
And they cried unto the LORD, and said, We have sinned, because we have forsaken the LORD, and have served Baalim and Ashtaroth: but now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve thee.
וַיִּשְׁלַח יְהוָה אֶת-יְרֻבַּעַל וְאֶת-בְּדָן וְאֶת-יִפְתָּח וְאֶת-שְׁמוּאֵל וַיַּצֵּל אֶתְכֶם מִיַּד אֹֽיְבֵיכֶם מִסָּבִיב וַתֵּֽשְׁבוּ בֶּֽטַח׃
And the LORD sent Jerubbaal, and Bedan, and Jephthah, and Samuel, and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on every side, and ye dwelled safe.
וַתִּרְאוּ כִּֽי-נָחָשׁ מֶלֶךְ בְּנֵֽי-עַמּוֹן בָּא עֲלֵיכֶם וַתֹּאמְרוּ לִי לֹא כִּי-מֶלֶךְ יִמְלֹךְ עָלֵינוּ וַֽיהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם מַלְכְּכֶֽם׃
And when ye saw that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon came against you, ye said unto me, Nay; but a king shall reign over us: when the LORD your God was your king.
וְעַתָּה הִנֵּה הַמֶּלֶךְ אֲשֶׁר בְּחַרְתֶּם אֲשֶׁר שְׁאֶלְתֶּם וְהִנֵּה נָתַן יְהוָה עֲלֵיכֶם מֶֽלֶךְ׃
Now therefore behold the king whom ye have chosen, and whom ye have desired! and, behold, the LORD hath set a king over you.
אִם-תִּֽירְאוּ אֶת-יְהוָה וַֽעֲבַדְתֶּם אֹתוֹ וּשְׁמַעְתֶּם בְּקוֹלוֹ וְלֹא תַמְרוּ אֶת-פִּי יְהוָה וִֽהְיִתֶם גַּם-אַתֶּם וְגַם-הַמֶּלֶךְ אֲשֶׁר מָלַךְ עֲלֵיכֶם אַחַר יְהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶֽם׃
If ye will fear the LORD, and serve him, and obey his voice, and not rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then shall both ye and also the king that reigneth over you continue following the LORD your God:
וְאִם-לֹא תִשְׁמְעוּ בְּקוֹל יְהוָה וּמְרִיתֶם אֶת-פִּי יְהוָה וְהָֽיְתָה יַד-יְהוָה בָּכֶם וּבַאֲבֹֽתֵיכֶֽם׃
But if ye will not obey the voice of the LORD, but rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then shall the hand of the LORD be against you, as it was against your fathers.
גַּם-עַתָּה הִתְיַצְּבוּ וּרְאוּ אֶת-הַדָּבָר הַגָּדוֹל הַזֶּה אֲשֶׁר יְהוָה עֹשֶׂה לְעֵֽינֵיכֶֽם׃
Now therefore stand and see this great thing, which the LORD will do before your eyes.
הֲלוֹא קְצִיר-חִטִּים הַיּוֹם אֶקְרָא אֶל-יְהוָה וְיִתֵּן קֹלוֹת וּמָטָר וּדְעוּ וּרְאוּ כִּֽי-רָעַתְכֶם רַבָּה אֲשֶׁר עֲשִׂיתֶם בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה לִשְׁאוֹל לָכֶם מֶֽלֶךְ׃
Is it not wheat harvest to day? I will call unto the LORD, and he shall send thunder and rain; that ye may perceive and see that your wickedness is great, which ye have done in the sight of the LORD, in asking you a king.
וַיִּקְרָא שְׁמוּאֵל אֶל-יְהוָה וַיִּתֵּן יְהוָה קֹלֹת וּמָטָר בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא וַיִּירָא כָל-הָעָם מְאֹד אֶת-יְהוָה וְאֶת-שְׁמוּאֵֽל׃
So Samuel called unto the LORD; and the LORD sent thunder and rain that day: and all the people greatly feared the LORD and Samuel.
וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ כָל-הָעָם אֶל-שְׁמוּאֵל הִתְפַּלֵּל בְּעַד-עֲבָדֶיךָ אֶל-יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ וְאַל-נָמוּת כִּֽי-יָסַפְנוּ עַל-כָּל-חַטֹּאתֵינוּ רָעָה לִשְׁאֹל לָנוּ מֶֽלֶךְ׃
And all the people said unto Samuel, Pray for thy servants unto the LORD thy God, that we die not: for we have added unto all our sins this evil, to ask us a king.
וַיֹּאמֶר שְׁמוּאֵל אֶל-הָעָם אַל-תִּירָאוּ אַתֶּם עֲשִׂיתֶם אֵת כָּל-הָֽרָעָה הַזֹּאת אַךְ אַל-תָּסוּרוּ מֵאַֽחֲרֵי יְהוָה וַֽעֲבַדְתֶּם אֶת-יְהוָה בְּכָל-לְבַבְכֶֽם׃
And Samuel said unto the people, Fear not: ye have done all this wickedness: yet turn not aside from following the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart;
כִּי לֹֽא-יִטֹּשׁ יְהוָה אֶת-עַמּוֹ בַּֽעֲבוּר שְׁמוֹ הַגָּדוֹל כִּי הוֹאִיל יְהוָה לַֽעֲשׂוֹת אֶתְכֶם לוֹ לְעָֽם׃
For the LORD will not forsake his people for his great name's sake: because it hath pleased the LORD to make you his people.
גַּם אָֽנֹכִי חָלִילָה לִּי מֵֽחֲטֹא לַֽיהוָה מֵֽחֲדֹל לְהִתְפַּלֵּל בַּֽעַדְכֶם וְהֽוֹרֵיתִי אֶתְכֶם בְּדֶרֶךְ הַטּוֹבָה וְהַיְשָׁרָֽה׃
Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you: but I will teach you the good and the right way:
אַךְ׀ יְראוּ אֶת-יְהוָה וַֽעֲבַדְתֶּם אֹתוֹ בֶּֽאֱמֶת בְּכָל-לְבַבְכֶם כִּי רְאוּ אֵת אֲשֶׁר-הִגְדִּל עִמָּכֶֽם׃
Only fear the LORD, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you.
וָֽאֹמַר עַתָּה יֵֽרְדוּ פְלִשְׁתִּים אֵלַי הַגִּלְגָּל וּפְנֵי יְהוָה לֹא חִלִּיתִי וָֽאֶתְאַפַּק וָאַֽעֲלֶה הָֽעֹלָֽה׃
Therefore said I, The Philistines will come down now upon me to Gilgal, and I have not made supplication unto the LORD: I forced myself therefore, and offered a burnt offering.
וַיֹּאמֶר שְׁמוּאֵל אֶל-שָׁאוּל נִסְכָּלְתָּ לֹא שָׁמַרְתָּ אֶת-מִצְוַת יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ אֲשֶׁר צִוָּךְ כִּי עַתָּה הֵכִין יְהוָה אֶת-מַֽמְלַכְתְּךָ אֶל-יִשְׂרָאֵל עַד-עוֹלָֽם׃
And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly: thou hast not kept the commandment of the LORD thy God, which he commanded thee: for now would the LORD have established thy kingdom upon Israel for ever.
וְעַתָּה מַמְלַכְתְּךָ לֹֽא-תָקוּם בִּקֵּשׁ יְהוָה לוֹ אִישׁ כִּלְבָבוֹ וַיְצַוֵּהוּ יְהוָה לְנָגִיד עַל-עַמּוֹ כִּי לֹא שָׁמַרְתָּ אֵת אֲשֶֽׁר-צִוְּךָ יְהוָֽה׃
But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the LORD hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the LORD hath commanded him to be captain over his people, because thou hast not kept that which the LORD commanded thee.
וַֽאֲחִיָּה בֶן-אֲחִטוּב אֲחִי אִֽיכָבוֹד׀ בֶּן-פִּֽינְחָס בֶּן-עֵלִי כֹּהֵן׀ יְהוָה בְּשִׁלוֹ נֹשֵׂא אֵפוֹד וְהָעָם לֹא יָדַע כִּי הָלַךְ יֽוֹנָתָֽן׃
And Ahiah, the son of Ahitub, Ichabod's brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the LORD's priest in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. And the people knew not that Jonathan was gone.
וַיֹּאמֶר יְהֽוֹנָתָן אֶל-הַנַּעַר׀ נֹשֵׂא כֵלָיו לְכָה וְנַעְבְּרָה אֶל-מַצַּב הָֽעֲרֵלִים הָאֵלֶּה אוּלַי יַֽעֲשֶׂה יְהוָה לָנוּ כִּי אֵין לַֽיהוָה מַעְצוֹר לְהוֹשִׁיעַ בְּרַב אוֹ בִמְעָֽט׃
And Jonathan said to the young man that bare his armour, Come, and let us go over unto the garrison of these uncircumcised: it may be that the LORD will work for us: for there is no restraint to the LORD to save by many or by few.
וְאִם-כֹּה יֹֽאמְרוּ עֲלוּ עָלֵינוּ וְעָלִינוּ כִּֽי-נְתָנָם יְהוָה בְּיָדֵנוּ וְזֶה-לָּנוּ הָאֽוֹת׃
But if they say thus, Come up unto us; then we will go up: for the LORD hath delivered them into our hand: and this shall be a sign unto us.
