וַיֵּצֵא מֶלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיַּךְ אֶת-הַסּוּס וְאֶת-הָרָכֶב וְהִכָּה בַֽאֲרָם מַכָּה גְדוֹלָֽה׃
And the king of Israel went out, and smote the horses and chariots, and slew the Syrians with a great slaughter.
וַיִּגַּשׁ אִישׁ הָֽאֱלֹהִים וַיֹּאמֶר אֶל-מֶלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיֹּאמֶר כֹּֽה-אָמַר יְהוָה יַעַן אֲשֶׁר אָֽמְרוּ אֲרָם אֱלֹהֵי הָרִים יְהוָה וְלֹֽא-אֱלֹהֵי עֲמָקִים הוּא וְנָֽתַתִּי אֶת-כָּל-הֶֽהָמוֹן הַגָּדוֹל הַזֶּה בְּיָדֶךָ וִֽידַעְתֶּם כִּֽי-אֲנִי יְהוָֽה׃
And there came a man of God, and spake unto the king of Israel, and said, Thus saith the LORD, Because the Syrians have said, The LORD is God of the hills, but he is not God of the valleys, therefore will I deliver all this great multitude into thine hand, and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
וּמֶלֶךְ אֲרָם צִוָּה אֶת-שָׂרֵי הָרֶכֶב אֲשֶׁר-לוֹ שְׁלֹשִׁים וּשְׁנַיִם לֵאמֹר לֹא תִּלָּחֲמוּ אֶת-קָטֹן וְאֶת-גָּדוֹל כִּי אִֽם-אֶת-מֶלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל לְבַדּֽוֹ׃
But the king of Syria commanded his thirty and two captains that had rule over his chariots, saying, Fight neither with small nor great, save only with the king of Israel.
וַיִּקַּח אֶת-בְּנוֹ הַבְּכוֹר אֲשֶׁר-יִמְלֹךְ תַּחְתָּיו וַיַּֽעֲלֵהוּ עֹלָה עַל-הַחֹמָה וַיְהִי קֶֽצֶף-גָּדוֹל עַל-יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיִּסְעוּ מֵֽעָלָיו וַיָּשֻׁבוּ לָאָֽרֶץ׃
Then he took his eldest son that should have reigned in his stead, and offered him for a burnt offering upon the wall. And there was great indignation against Israel: and they departed from him, and returned to their own land.
וַיְהִי הַיּוֹם וַיַּֽעֲבֹר אֱלִישָׁע אֶל-שׁוּנֵם וְשָׁם אִשָּׁה גְדוֹלָה וַתַּֽחֲזֶק-בּוֹ לֶֽאֱכָל-לָחֶם וַֽיְהִי מִדֵּי עָבְרוֹ יָסֻר שָׁמָּה לֶֽאֱכָל-לָֽחֶם׃
And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a great woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was, that as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread.
וֶֽאֱלִישָׁע שָׁב הַגִּלְגָּלָה וְהָֽרָעָב בָּאָרֶץ וּבְנֵי הַנְּבִיאִים יֹֽשְׁבִים לְפָנָיו וַיֹּאמֶר לְנַֽעֲרוֹ שְׁפֹת הַסִּיר הַגְּדוֹלָה וּבַשֵּׁל נָזִיד לִבְנֵי הַנְּבִיאִֽים׃
And Elisha came again to Gilgal: and there was a dearth in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him: and he said unto his servant, Set on the great pot, and seethe pottage for the sons of the prophets.
וְנַֽעֲמָן שַׂר-צְבָא מֶֽלֶךְ-אֲרָם הָיָה אִישׁ גָּדוֹל לִפְנֵי אֲדֹנָיו וּנְשֻׂא פָנִים כִּי-בוֹ נָֽתַן-יְהוָה תְּשׁוּעָה לַֽאֲרָם וְהָאִישׁ הָיָה גִּבּוֹר חַיִל מְצֹרָֽע׃
Now Naaman, captain of the host of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honourable, because by him the LORD had given deliverance unto Syria: he was also a mighty man in valour, but he was a leper.
וַיִּגְּשׁוּ עֲבָדָיו וַיְדַבְּרוּ אֵלָיו וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ אָבִי דָּבָר גָּדוֹל הַנָּבִיא דִּבֶּר אֵלֶיךָ הֲלוֹא תַֽעֲשֶׂה וְאַף כִּֽי-אָמַר אֵלֶיךָ רְחַץ וּטְהָֽר׃
And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean?
וַיִּכְרֶה לָהֶם כֵּרָה גְדוֹלָה וַיֹּֽאכְלוּ וַיִּשְׁתּוּ וַֽיְשַׁלְּחֵם וַיֵּֽלְכוּ אֶל-אֲדֹֽנֵיהֶם וְלֹא-יָסְפוּ עוֹד גְּדוּדֵי אֲרָם לָבוֹא בְּאֶרֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And he prepared great provision for them: and when they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. So the bands of Syria came no more into the land of Israel.
וַיְהִי רָעָב גָּדוֹל בְּשֹׁמְרוֹן וְהִנֵּה צָרִים עָלֶיהָ עַד הֱיוֹת רֹאשׁ-חֲמוֹר בִּשְׁמֹנִים כֶּסֶף וְרֹבַע הַקַּב (חרי) (יונים) דִּבְיוֹנִים בַּֽחֲמִשָּׁה-כָֽסֶף׃
And there was a great famine in Samaria: and, behold, they besieged it, until an ass's head was sold for fourscore pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a cab of dove's dung for five pieces of silver.
וַֽאדֹנָי הִשְׁמִיעַ׀ אֶת-מַֽחֲנֵה אֲרָם קוֹל רֶכֶב קוֹל סוּס קוֹל חַיִל גָּדוֹל וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ אִישׁ אֶל-אָחִיו הִנֵּה שָֽׂכַר-עָלֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶת-מַלְכֵי הַֽחִתִּים וְאֶת-מַלְכֵי מִצְרַיִם לָבוֹא עָלֵֽינוּ׃
For the Lord had made the host of the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, even the noise of a great host: and they said one to another, Lo, the king of Israel hath hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us.
וְהַמֶּלֶךְ מְדַבֵּר אֶל-גֵּחֲזִי נַעַר אִישׁ-הָֽאֱלֹהִים לֵאמֹר סַפְּרָה-נָּא לִי אֵת כָּל-הַגְּדֹלוֹת אֲשֶׁר-עָשָׂה אֱלִישָֽׁע׃
And the king talked with Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, Tell me, I pray thee, all the great things that Elisha hath done.
וַיֹּאמֶר חֲזָהאֵל כִּי מָה עַבְדְּךָ הַכֶּלֶב כִּי יַֽעֲשֶׂה הַדָּבָר הַגָּדוֹל הַזֶּה וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלִישָׁע הִרְאַנִי יְהוָה אֹֽתְךָ מֶלֶךְ עַל-אֲרָֽם׃
And Hazael said, But what, is thy servant a dog, that he should do this great thing? And Elisha answered, The LORD hath shewed me that thou shalt be king over Syria.
וַיִּכְתֹּב אֲלֵיהֶם סֵפֶר׀ שֵׁנִית לֵאמֹר אִם-לִי אַתֶּם וּלְקֹלִי׀ אַתֶּם שֹֽׁמְעִים קְחוּ אֶת-רָאשֵׁי אַנְשֵׁי בְנֵי-אֲדֹֽנֵיכֶם וּבֹאוּ אֵלַי כָּעֵת מָחָר יִזְרְעֶאלָה וּבְנֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ שִׁבְעִים אִישׁ אֶת-גְּדֹלֵי הָעִיר מְגַדְּלִים אוֹתָֽם׃
Then he wrote a letter the second time to them, saying, If ye be mine, and if ye will hearken unto my voice, take ye the heads of the men your master's sons, and come to me to Jezreel by to morrow this time. Now the king's sons, being seventy persons, were with the great men of the city, which brought them up.
וַיַּךְ יֵהוּא אֵת כָּל-הַנִּשְׁאָרִים לְבֵית-אַחְאָב בְּיִזְרְעֶאל וְכָל-גְּדֹלָיו וּמְיֻדָּעָיו וְכֹֽהֲנָיו עַד-בִּלְתִּי הִשְׁאִֽיר-לוֹ שָׂרִֽיד׃
So Jehu slew all that remained of the house of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his great men, and his kinsfolks, and his priests, until he left him none remaining.
וְעַתָּה כָל-נְבִיאֵי הַבַּעַל כָּל-עֹֽבְדָיו וְכָל-כֹּֽהֲנָיו קִרְאוּ אֵלַי אִישׁ אַל-יִפָּקֵד כִּי זֶבַח גָּדוֹל לִי לַבַּעַל כֹּל אֲשֶׁר-יִפָּקֵד לֹא יִֽחְיֶה וְיֵהוּא עָשָׂה בְעָקְבָּה לְמַעַן הַֽאֲבִיד אֶת-עֹֽבְדֵי הַבָּֽעַל׃
Now therefore call unto me all the prophets of Baal, all his servants, and all his priests; let none be wanting: for I have a great sacrifice to do to Baal; whosoever shall be wanting, he shall not live. But Jehu did it in subtilty, to the intent that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal.
וַֽיְהִי כִּרְאוֹתָם כִּי-רַב הַכֶּסֶף בָּֽאָרוֹן וַיַּעַל סֹפֵר הַמֶּלֶךְ וְהַכֹּהֵן הַגָּדוֹל וַיָּצֻרוּ וַיִּמְנוּ אֶת-הַכֶּסֶף הַנִּמְצָא בֵית-יְהוָֽה׃
And it was so, when they saw that there was much money in the chest, that the king's scribe and the high priest came up, and they put up in bags, and told the money that was found in the house of the LORD.
(ויצוהו) וַיְצַוֶּה הַמֶּֽלֶךְ-אָחָז אֶת-אֽוּרִיָּה הַכֹּהֵן לֵאמֹר עַל הַמִּזְבֵּחַ הַגָּדוֹל הַקְטֵר אֶת-עֹֽלַת-הַבֹּקֶר וְאֶת-מִנְחַת הָעֶרֶב וְֽאֶת-עֹלַת הַמֶּלֶךְ וְאֶת-מִנְחָתוֹ וְאֵת עֹלַת כָּל-עַם הָאָרֶץ וּמִנְחָתָם וְנִסְכֵּיהֶם וְכָל-דַּם עֹלָה וְכָל-דַּם-זֶבַח עָלָיו תִּזְרֹק וּמִזְבַּח הַנְּחֹשֶׁת יִֽהְיֶה-לִּי לְבַקֵּֽר׃
And king Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest, saying, Upon the great altar burn the morning burnt offering, and the evening meat offering, and the king's burnt sacrifice, and his meat offering, with the burnt offering of all the people of the land, and their meat offering, and their drink offerings; and sprinkle upon it all the blood of the burnt offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice: and the brasen altar shall be for me to inquire by.
כִּֽי-קָרַע יִשְׂרָאֵל מֵעַל בֵּית דָּוִד וַיַּמְלִיכוּ אֶת-יָֽרָבְעָם בֶּן-נְבָט (וידא) וַיַּדַּח יָֽרָבְעָם אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵל מֵאַֽחֲרֵי יְהוָה וְהֶחֱטֵיאָם חֲטָאָה גְדוֹלָֽה׃
For he rent Israel from the house of David; and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king: and Jeroboam drave Israel from following the LORD, and made them sin a great sin.
כִּי אִֽם-אֶת-יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר הֶֽעֱלָה אֶתְכֶם מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם בְּכֹחַ גָּדוֹל וּבִזְרוֹעַ נְטוּיָה אֹתוֹ תִירָאוּ וְלוֹ תִֽשְׁתַּחֲווּ וְלוֹ תִזְבָּֽחוּ׃
But the LORD, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and a stretched out arm, him shall ye fear, and him shall ye worship, and to him shall ye do sacrifice.
וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵהֶם רַב-שָׁקֵה אִמְרוּ-נָא אֶל-חִזְקִיָּהוּ כֹּֽה-אָמַר הַמֶּלֶךְ הַגָּדוֹל מֶלֶךְ אַשּׁוּר מָה הַבִּטָּחוֹן הַזֶּה אֲשֶׁר בָּטָֽחְתָּ׃
And Rab-shakeh said unto them, Speak ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this wherein thou trustest?
וַֽיַּעֲמֹד רַב-שָׁקֵה וַיִּקְרָא בְקוֹל-גָּדוֹל יְהוּדִית וַיְדַבֵּר וַיֹּאמֶר שִׁמְעוּ דְּבַר-הַמֶּלֶךְ הַגָּדוֹל מֶלֶךְ אַשּֽׁוּר׃
Then Rab-shakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language, and spake, saying, Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria:
אָנָּה יְהוָה זְכָר-נָא אֵת אֲשֶׁר הִתְהַלַּכְתִּי לְפָנֶיךָ בֶּֽאֱמֶת וּבְלֵבָב שָׁלֵם וְהַטּוֹב בְּעֵינֶיךָ עָשִׂיתִי וַיֵּבְךְּ חִזְקִיָּהוּ בְּכִי גָדֽוֹל׃
I beseech thee, O LORD, remember now how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.
עֲלֵה אֶל-חִלְקִיָּהוּ הַכֹּהֵן הַגָּדוֹל וְיַתֵּם אֶת-הַכֶּסֶף הַמּוּבָא בֵּית יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר אָֽסְפוּ שֹֽׁמְרֵי הַסַּף מֵאֵת הָעָֽם׃
Go up to Hilkiah the high priest, that he may sum the silver which is brought into the house of the LORD, which the keepers of the door have gathered of the people:
וַיֹּאמֶר חִלְקִיָּהוּ הַכֹּהֵן הַגָּדוֹל עַל-שָׁפָן הַסֹּפֵר סֵפֶר הַתּוֹרָה מָצָאתִי בְּבֵית יְהוָה וַיִּתֵּן חִלְקִיָּה אֶת-הַסֵּפֶר אֶל-שָׁפָן וַיִּקְרָאֵֽהוּ׃
And Hilkiah the high priest said unto Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of the LORD. And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan, and he read it.
לְכוּ דִרְשׁוּ אֶת-יְהוָה בַּֽעֲדִי וּבְעַד-הָעָם וּבְעַד כָּל-יְהוּדָה עַל-דִּבְרֵי הַסֵּפֶר הַנִּמְצָא הַזֶּה כִּֽי-גְדוֹלָה חֲמַת יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר-הִיא נִצְּתָה בָנוּ עַל אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא-שָׁמְעוּ אֲבֹתֵינוּ עַל-דִּבְרֵי הַסֵּפֶר הַזֶּה לַֽעֲשׂוֹת כְּכָל-הַכָּתוּב עָלֵֽינוּ׃
Go ye, inquire of the LORD for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that is found: for great is the wrath of the LORD that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not hearkened unto the words of this book, to do according unto all that which is written concerning us.
וַיַּעַל הַמֶּלֶךְ בֵּית-יְהוָה וְכָל-אִישׁ יְהוּדָה וְכָל-יֹֽשְׁבֵי יְרֽוּשָׁלִַם אִתּוֹ וְהַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהַנְּבִיאִים וְכָל-הָעָם לְמִקָּטֹן וְעַד-גָּדוֹל וַיִּקְרָא בְאָזְנֵיהֶם אֶת-כָּל-דִּבְרֵי סֵפֶר הַבְּרִית הַנִּמְצָא בְּבֵית יְהוָֽה׃
And the king went up into the house of the LORD, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, both small and great: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant which was found in the house of the LORD.
וַיְצַו הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶת-חִלְקִיָּהוּ הַכֹּהֵן הַגָּדוֹל וְאֶת-כֹּֽהֲנֵי הַמִּשְׁנֶה וְאֶת-שֹֽׁמְרֵי הַסַּף לְהוֹצִיא מֵֽהֵיכַל יְהוָה אֵת כָּל-הַכֵּלִים הָֽעֲשׂוּיִם לַבַּעַל וְלָֽאֲשֵׁרָה וּלְכֹל צְבָא הַשָּׁמָיִם וַֽיִּשְׂרְפֵם מִחוּץ לִירֽוּשָׁלִַם בְּשַׁדְמוֹת קִדְרוֹן וְנָשָׂא אֶת-עֲפָרָם בֵּֽית-אֵֽל׃
And the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the door, to bring forth out of the temple of the LORD all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the grove, and for all the host of heaven: and he burned them without Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron, and carried the ashes of them unto Beth-el.
אַךְ׀ לֹא-שָׁב יְהוָה מֵֽחֲרוֹן אַפּוֹ הַגָּדוֹל אֲשֶׁר-חָרָה אַפּוֹ בִּֽיהוּדָה עַל כָּל-הַכְּעָסִים אֲשֶׁר הִכְעִיסוֹ מְנַשֶּֽׁה׃
Notwithstanding the LORD turned not from the fierceness of his great wrath, wherewith his anger was kindled against Judah, because of all the provocations that Manasseh had provoked him withal.
וַיִּשְׂרֹף אֶת-בֵּית-יְהוָה וְאֶת-בֵּית הַמֶּלֶךְ וְאֵת כָּל-בָּתֵּי יְרֽוּשָׁלִַם וְאֶת-כָּל-בֵּית גָּדוֹל שָׂרַף בָּאֵֽשׁ׃
And he burnt the house of the LORD, and the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great man's house burnt he with fire.
וַיָּקֻמוּ כָל-הָעָם מִקָּטֹן וְעַד-גָּדוֹל וְשָׂרֵי הַֽחֲיָלִים וַיָּבֹאוּ מִצְרָיִם כִּי יָֽרְאוּ מִפְּנֵי כַשְׂדִּֽים׃
And all the people, both small and great, and the captains of the armies, arose, and came to Egypt: for they were afraid of the Chaldees.
וַיֵּלֶךְ דָּוִיד הָלוֹךְ וְגָדוֹל וַֽיהוָה צְבָאוֹת עִמּֽוֹ׃
So David waxed greater and greater: for the LORD of hosts was with him.
וַיִּֽתְיַצְּבוּ בְתוֹךְ-הַחֶלְקָה וַיַּצִּילוּהָ וַיַּכּוּ אֶת-פְּלִשְׁתִּים וַיּוֹשַׁע יְהוָה תְּשׁוּעָה גְדוֹלָֽה׃
And they set themselves in the midst of that parcel, and delivered it, and slew the Philistines; and the LORD saved them by a great deliverance.
אֵלֶּה מִבְּנֵי-גָד רָאשֵׁי הַצָּבָא אֶחָד לְמֵאָה הַקָּטָן וְהַגָּדוֹל לְאָֽלֶף׃
These were of the sons of Gad, captains of the host: one of the least was over an hundred, and the greatest over a thousand.
כִּי לְעֶת-יוֹם בְּיוֹם יָבֹאוּ עַל-דָּוִיד לְעָזְרוֹ עַד-לְמַֽחֲנֶה גָדוֹל כְּמַֽחֲנֵה אֱלֹהִֽים׃
For at that time day by day there came to David to help him, until it was a great host, like the host of God.
כִּי גָדוֹל יְהוָה וּמְהֻלָּל מְאֹד וְנוֹרָא הוּא עַל-כָּל-אֱלֹהִֽים׃
For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised: he also is to be feared above all gods.
וָאֶֽהְיֶה עִמְּךָ בְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר הָלַכְתָּ וָֽאַכְרִית אֶת-כָּל-אֽוֹיְבֶיךָ מִפָּנֶיךָ וְעָשִׂיתִֽי לְךָ שֵׁם כְּשֵׁם הַגְּדוֹלִים אֲשֶׁר בָּאָֽרֶץ׃
And I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast walked, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee, and have made thee a name like the name of the great men that are in the earth.
וַיְהִי עָלַי דְּבַר-יְהוָה לֵאמֹר דָּם לָרֹב שָׁפַכְתָּ וּמִלְחָמוֹת גְּדֹלוֹת עָשִׂיתָ לֹֽא-תִבְנֶה בַיִת לִשְׁמִי כִּי דָּמִים רַבִּים שָׁפַכְתָּ אַרְצָה לְפָנָֽי׃
But the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars: thou shalt not build an house unto my name, because thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in my sight.
וַיַּפִּילוּ גּֽוֹרָלוֹת מִשְׁמֶרֶת לְעֻמַּת כַּקָּטֹן כַּגָּדוֹל מֵבִין עִם-תַּלְמִֽיד׃
And they cast lots, ward against ward, as well the small as the great, the teacher as the scholar.
וַיַּפִּילוּ גֽוֹרָלוֹת כַּקָּטֹן כַּגָּדוֹל לְבֵית אֲבוֹתָם לְשַׁעַר וָשָֽׁעַר׃
And they cast lots, as well the small as the great, according to the house of their fathers, for every gate.
וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִיד הַמֶּלֶךְ לְכָל-הַקָּהָל שְׁלֹמֹה בְנִי אֶחָד בָּֽחַר-בּוֹ אֱלֹהִים נַעַר וָרָךְ וְהַמְּלָאכָה גְדוֹלָה כִּי לֹא לְאָדָם הַבִּירָה כִּי לַֽיהוָה אֱלֹהִֽים׃
Furthermore David the king said unto all the congregation, Solomon my son, whom alone God hath chosen, is yet young and tender, and the work is great: for the palace is not for man, but for the LORD God.
וַיִּשְׂמְחוּ הָעָם עַל-הִֽתְנַדְּבָם כִּי בְּלֵב שָׁלֵם הִֽתְנַדְּבוּ לַֽיהוָה וְגַם דָּוִיד הַמֶּלֶךְ שָׂמַח שִׂמְחָה גְדוֹלָֽה׃
Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered willingly, because with perfect heart they offered willingly to the LORD: and David the king also rejoiced with great joy.
וַיֹּֽאכְלוּ וַיִּשְׁתּוּ לִפְנֵי יְהוָה בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא בְּשִׂמְחָה גְדוֹלָה וַיַּמְלִיכוּ שֵׁנִית לִשְׁלֹמֹה בֶן-דָּוִיד וַיִּמְשְׁחוּ לַֽיהוָה לְנָגִיד וּלְצָדוֹק לְכֹהֵֽן׃
And did eat and drink before the LORD on that day with great gladness. And they made Solomon the son of David king the second time, and anointed him unto the LORD to be the chief governor, and Zadok to be priest.
וַיֹּאמֶר שְׁלֹמֹה לֵֽאלֹהִים אַתָּה עָשִׂיתָ עִם-דָּוִיד אָבִי חֶסֶד גָּדוֹל וְהִמְלַכְתַּנִי תַּחְתָּֽיו׃
And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast shewed great mercy unto David my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead.
עַתָּה חָכְמָה וּמַדָּע תֶּן-לִי וְאֵֽצְאָה לִפְנֵי הָֽעָם-הַזֶּה וְאָבוֹאָה כִּֽי-מִי יִשְׁפֹּט אֶת-עַמְּךָ הַזֶּה הַגָּדֽוֹל׃
Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy people, that is so great?
וְהַבַּיִת אֲשֶׁר-אֲנִי בוֹנֶה גָּדוֹל כִּֽי-גָדוֹל אֱלֹהֵינוּ מִכָּל-הָֽאֱלֹהִֽים׃
And the house which I build is great: for great is our God above all gods.
וּלְהָכִין לִי עֵצִים לָרֹב כִּי הַבַּיִת אֲשֶׁר-אֲנִי בוֹנֶה גָּדוֹל וְהַפְלֵֽא׃
Even to prepare me timber in abundance: for the house which I am about to build shall be wonderful great.
וְאֵת׀ הַבַּיִת הַגָּדוֹל חִפָּה עֵץ בְּרוֹשִׁים וַיְחַפֵּהוּ זָהָב טוֹב וַיַּעַל עָלָיו תִּֽמֹרִים וְשַׁרְשְׁרֹֽת׃
And the greater house he cieled with fir tree, which he overlaid with fine gold, and set thereon palm trees and chains.
וַיַּעַשׂ חֲצַר הַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהָֽעֲזָרָה הַגְּדוֹלָה וּדְלָתוֹת לָֽעֲזָרָה וְדַלְתֽוֹתֵיהֶם צִפָּה נְחֹֽשֶׁת׃
Furthermore he made the court of the priests, and the great court, and doors for the court, and overlaid the doors of them with brass.
וְגַם אֶל-הַנָּכְרִי אֲשֶׁר לֹא מֵֽעַמְּךָ יִשְׂרָאֵל הוּא וּבָא׀ מֵאֶרֶץ רְחוֹקָה לְמַעַן שִׁמְךָ הַגָּדוֹל וְיָֽדְךָ הַֽחֲזָקָה וּֽזְרוֹעֲךָ הַנְּטוּיָה וּבָאוּ וְהִֽתְפַּֽלְלוּ אֶל-הַבַּיִת הַזֶּֽה׃
Moreover concerning the stranger, which is not of thy people Israel, but is come from a far country for thy great name's sake, and thy mighty hand, and thy stretched out arm; if they come and pray in this house;
וַיַּעַשׂ שְׁלֹמֹה אֶת-הֶחָג בָּעֵת הַהִיא שִׁבְעַת יָמִים וְכָל-יִשְׂרָאֵל עִמּוֹ קָהָל גָּדוֹל מְאֹד מִלְּבוֹא חֲמָת עַד-נַחַל מִצְרָֽיִם׃
Also at the same time Solomon kept the feast seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath unto the river of Egypt.
וַיַּעַשׂ הַמֶּלֶךְ כִּסֵּא-שֵׁן גָּדוֹל וַיְצַפֵּהוּ זָהָב טָהֽוֹר׃
Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold.
וְכֹל אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא-יִדְרֹשׁ לַֽיהוָה אֱלֹהֵֽי-יִשְׂרָאֵל יוּמָת לְמִן-קָטֹן וְעַד-גָּדוֹל לְמֵאִישׁ וְעַד-אִשָּֽׁה׃
That whosoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.
וַיִּשָּֽׁבְעוּ לַֽיהוָה בְּקוֹל גָּדוֹל וּבִתְרוּעָה וּבַחֲצֹֽצְרוֹת וּבְשֽׁוֹפָרֽוֹת׃
And they sware unto the LORD with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets.
וַיִּקְבְּרֻהוּ בְקִבְרֹתָיו אֲשֶׁר כָּֽרָה-לוֹ בְּעִיר דָּוִיד וַיַּשְׁכִּיבֻהוּ בַּמִּשְׁכָּב אֲשֶׁר מִלֵּא בְּשָׂמִים וּזְנִים מְרֻקָּחִים בְּמִרְקַחַת מַֽעֲשֶׂה וַיִּשְׂרְפוּ-לוֹ שְׂרֵפָה גְּדוֹלָה עַד-לִמְאֹֽד׃
And they buried him in his own sepulchres, which he had made for himself in the city of David, and laid him in the bed which was filled with sweet odours and divers kinds of spices prepared by the apothecaries' art: and they made a very great burning for him.
וּמֶלֶךְ אֲרָם צִוָּה אֶת-שָׂרֵי הָרֶכֶב אֲשֶׁר-לוֹ לֵאמֹר לֹא תִּלָּחֲמוּ אֶת-הַקָּטֹן אֶת-הַגָּדוֹל כִּי אִֽם-אֶת-מֶלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל לְבַדּֽוֹ׃
Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of the chariots that were with him, saying, Fight ye not with small or great, save only with the king of Israel.
וַיָּקֻמוּ הַלְוִיִּם מִן-בְּנֵי הַקְּהָתִים וּמִן-בְּנֵי הַקָּרְחִים לְהַלֵּל לַֽיהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּקוֹל גָּדוֹל לְמָֽעְלָה׃
And the Levites, of the children of the Kohathites, and of the children of the Korhites, stood up to praise the LORD God of Israel with a loud voice on high.
הִנֵּה יְהוָה נֹגֵף מַגֵּפָה גְדוֹלָה בְּעַמֶּךָ וּבְבָנֶיךָ וּבְנָשֶׁיךָ וּבְכָל-רְכוּשֶֽׁךָ׃
Behold, with a great plague will the LORD smite thy people, and thy children, and thy wives, and all thy goods:
וַיַּעַשׂ׀ בִּירֽוּשָׁלִַם חִשְּׁבֹנוֹת מַֽחֲשֶׁבֶת חוֹשֵׁב לִֽהְיוֹת עַל-הַמִּגְדָּלִים וְעַל-הַפִּנּוֹת לִירוֹא בַּֽחִצִּים וּבָֽאֲבָנִים גְּדֹלוֹת וַיֵּצֵא שְׁמוֹ עַד-לְמֵרָחוֹק כִּֽי-הִפְלִיא לְהֵֽעָזֵר עַד כִּֽי-חָזָֽק׃
And he made in Jerusalem engines, invented by cunning men, to be on the towers and upon the bulwarks, to shoot arrows and great stones withal. And his name spread far abroad; for he was marvellously helped, till he was strong.
וַֽיִּתְּנֵהוּ יְהוָה אֱלֹהָיו בְּיַד מֶלֶךְ אֲרָם וַיַּכּוּ-בוֹ וַיִּשְׁבּוּ מִמֶּנּוּ שִׁבְיָה גְדוֹלָה וַיָּבִיאוּ דַּרְמָשֶׂק וְגַם בְּיַד-מֶלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל נִתָּן וַיַּךְ-בּוֹ מַכָּה גְדוֹלָֽה׃
Wherefore the LORD his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria; and they smote him, and carried away a great multitude of them captives, and brought them to Damascus. And he was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who smote him with a great slaughter.
וַיַּֽעֲשׂוּ בְנֵֽי-יִשְׂרָאֵל הַנִּמְצְאִים בִּירֽוּשָׁלִַם אֶת-חַג הַמַּצּוֹת שִׁבְעַת יָמִים בְּשִׂמְחָה גְדוֹלָה וּֽמְהַלְלִים לַֽיהוָה יוֹם׀ בְּיוֹם הַלְוִיִּם וְהַכֹּֽהֲנִים בִּכְלֵי-עֹז לַֽיהוָֽה׃
And the children of Israel that were present at Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness: and the Levites and the priests praised the LORD day by day, singing with loud instruments unto the LORD.
וַתְּהִי שִׂמְחָֽה-גְדוֹלָה בִּירֽוּשָׁלִָם כִּי מִימֵי שְׁלֹמֹה בֶן-דָּוִיד מֶלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל לֹא כָזֹאת בִּירֽוּשָׁלִָֽם׃
So there was great joy in Jerusalem: for since the time of Solomon the son of David king of Israel there was not the like in Jerusalem.
וְעַל-יָדוֹ עֵדֶן וּמִנְיָמִן וְיֵשׁוּעַ וּֽשְׁמַעְיָהוּ אֲמַרְיָהוּ וּשְׁכַנְיָהוּ בְּעָרֵי הַכֹּֽהֲנִים בֶּֽאֱמוּנָה לָתֵת לַֽאֲחֵיהֶם בְּמַחְלְקוֹת כַּגָּדוֹל כַּקָּטָֽן׃
And next him were Eden, and Miniamin, and Jeshua, and Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, in the cities of the priests, in their set office, to give to their brethren by courses, as well to the great as to the small:
וַיִּקְרְאוּ בְקוֹל-גָּדוֹל יְהוּדִית עַל-עַם יְרֽוּשָׁלִַם אֲשֶׁר עַל-הַֽחוֹמָה לְיָֽרְאָם וּֽלְבַהֲלָם לְמַעַן יִלְכְּדוּ אֶת-הָעִֽיר׃
Then they cried with a loud voice in the Jews' speech unto the people of Jerusalem that were on the wall, to affright them, and to trouble them; that they might take the city.
וַיָּבֹאוּ אֶל-חִלְקִיָּהוּ׀ הַכֹּהֵן הַגָּדוֹל וַֽיִּתְּנוּ אֶת-הַכֶּסֶף הַמּוּבָא בֵית-אֱלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר אָסְפֽוּ-הַלְוִיִּם שֹֽׁמְרֵי הַסַּף מִיַּד מְנַשֶּׁה וְאֶפְרַיִם וּמִכֹּל שְׁאֵרִית יִשְׂרָאֵל וּמִכָּל-יְהוּדָה וּבִנְיָמִן (וישבי) וַיָּשֻׁבוּ יְרֽוּשָׁלִָֽם׃
And when they came to Hilkiah the high priest, they delivered the money that was brought into the house of God, which the Levites that kept the doors had gathered of the hand of Manasseh and Ephraim, and of all the remnant of Israel, and of all Judah and Benjamin; and they returned to Jerusalem.
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.
וַיַּעַל הַמֶּלֶךְ בֵּית-יְהוָה וְכָל-אִישׁ יְהוּדָה וְיֹֽשְׁבֵי יְרֽוּשָׁלִַם וְהַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם וְכָל-הָעָם מִגָּדוֹל וְעַד-קָטָן וַיִּקְרָא בְאָזְנֵיהֶם אֶת-כָּל-דִּבְרֵי סֵפֶר הַבְּרִית הַנִּמְצָא בֵּית יְהוָֽה׃
And the king went up into the house of the LORD, and all the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the priests, and the Levites, and all the people, great and small: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant that was found in the house of the LORD.
וְכֹל כְּלֵי בֵּית הָֽאֱלֹהִים הַגְּדֹלִים וְהַקְּטַנִּים וְאֹֽצְרוֹת בֵּית יְהוָה וְאֹֽצְרוֹת הַמֶּלֶךְ וְשָׂרָיו הַכֹּל הֵבִיא בָבֶֽל׃
And all the vessels of the house of God, great and small, and the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king, and of his princes; all these he brought to Babylon.
וַֽיַּעֲנוּ בְּהַלֵּל וּבְהוֹדֹת לַֽיהוָה כִּי טוֹב כִּֽי-לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּוֹ עַל-יִשְׂרָאֵל וְכָל-הָעָם הֵרִיעוּ תְרוּעָה גְדוֹלָה בְהַלֵּל לַֽיהוָה עַל הוּסַד בֵּית-יְהוָֽה׃
And they sang together by course in praising and giving thanks unto the LORD; because he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the LORD, because the foundation laid. of the house of the LORD was
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:
וְאֵין הָעָם מַכִּירִים קוֹל תְּרוּעַת הַשִּׂמְחָה לְקוֹל בְּכִי הָעָם כִּי הָעָם מְרִיעִים תְּרוּעָה גְדוֹלָה וְהַקּוֹל נִשְׁמַע עַד-לְמֵֽרָחֽוֹק׃
So that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people: for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard afar off.
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.
וְאַֽחֲרֵי כָּל-הַבָּא עָלֵינוּ בְּמַֽעֲשֵׂינוּ הָֽרָעִים וּבְאַשְׁמָתֵנוּ הַגְּדֹלָה כִּי׀ אַתָּה אֱלֹהֵינוּ חָשַׂכְתָּֽ לְמַטָּה מֵֽעֲוֹנֵנוּ וְנָתַתָּה לָּנוּ פְּלֵיטָה כָּזֹֽאת׃
And after all that is come upon us for our evil deeds, and for our great trespass, seeing that thou our God hast punished us less than our iniquities deserve, and hast given us such deliverance as this;
וַיַּֽעְנוּ כָֽל-הַקָּהָל וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ קוֹל גָּדוֹל כֵּן (כדבריך) כִּדְבָרְךָ עָלֵינוּ לַֽעֲשֽׂוֹת׃
Then all the congregation answered and said with a loud voice, As thou hast said, so must we do.
וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ לִי הַֽנִּשְׁאָרִים אֲשֶֽׁר-נִשְׁאֲרוּ מִן-הַשְּׁבִי שָׁם בַּמְּדִינָה בְּרָעָה גְדֹלָה וּבְחֶרְפָּה וְחוֹמַת יְרֽוּשָׁלִַם מְפֹרָצֶת וּשְׁעָרֶיהָ נִצְּתוּ בָאֵֽשׁ׃
And they said unto me, The remnant that are left of the captivity there in the province are in great affliction and reproach: the wall of Jerusalem also is broken down, and the gates thereof are burned with fire.
וָֽאֹמַר אָֽנָּא יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי הַשָּׁמַיִם הָאֵל הַגָּדוֹל וְהַנּוֹרָא שֹׁמֵר הַבְּרִית וָחֶסֶד לְאֹֽהֲבָיו וּלְשֹֽׁמְרֵי מִצְוֹתָֽיו׃
And said, I beseech thee, O LORD God of heaven, the great and terrible God, that keepeth covenant and mercy for them that love him and observe his commandments:
וְהֵם עֲבָדֶיךָ וְעַמֶּךָ אֲשֶׁר פָּדִיתָ בְּכֹֽחֲךָ הַגָּדוֹל וּבְיָֽדְךָ הַֽחֲזָקָֽה׃
Now these are thy servants and thy people, whom thou hast redeemed by thy great power, and by thy strong hand.
וַיִּשְׁמַע סַנְבַלַּט הַחֹֽרֹנִי וְטֽוֹבִיָּה הָעֶבֶד הָֽעַמֹּנִי וַיֵּרַע לָהֶם רָעָה גְדֹלָה אֲשֶׁר-בָּא אָדָם לְבַקֵּשׁ טוֹבָה לִבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
When Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, heard of it, it grieved them exceedingly that there was come a man to seek the welfare of the children of Israel.
וַיָּקָם אֶלְיָשִׁיב הַכֹּהֵן הַגָּדוֹל וְאֶחָיו הַכֹּֽהֲנִים וַיִּבְנוּ אֶת-שַׁעַר הַצֹּאן הֵמָּה קִדְּשׁוּהוּ וַֽיַּעֲמִידוּ דַּלְתֹתָיו וְעַד-מִגְדַּל הַמֵּאָה קִדְּשׁוּהוּ עַד מִגְדַּל חֲנַנְאֵֽל׃
Then Eliashib the high priest rose up with his brethren the priests, and they builded the sheep gate; they sanctified it, and set up the doors of it; even unto the tower of Meah they sanctified it, unto the tower of Hananeel.
אַֽחֲרָיו הֶֽחֱרָה הֶֽחֱזִיק בָּרוּךְ בֶּן-(זבי) זַכַּי מִדָּה שֵׁנִית מִן-הַמִּקְצוֹעַ עַד-פֶּתַח בֵּית אֶלְיָשִׁיב הַכֹּהֵן הַגָּדֽוֹל׃
After him Baruch the son of Zabbai earnestly repaired the other piece, from the turning of the wall unto the door of the house of Eliashib the high priest.
אַֽחֲרָיו הֶֽחֱזִיקוּ הַתְּקֹעִים מִדָּה שֵׁנִית מִנֶּגֶד הַמִּגְדָּל הַגָּדוֹל הַיּוֹצֵא וְעַד חוֹמַת הָעֹֽפֶל׃
After them the Tekoites repaired another piece, over against the great tower that lieth out, even unto the wall of Ophel.
וָאֵרֶא וָֽאָקוּם וָֽאֹמַר אֶל-הַֽחֹרִים וְאֶל-הַסְּגָנִים וְאֶל-יֶתֶר הָעָם אַל-תִּֽירְאוּ מִפְּנֵיהֶם אֶת-אֲדֹנָי הַגָּדוֹל וְהַנּוֹרָא זְכֹרוּ וְהִֽלָּחֲמוּ עַל-אֲחֵיכֶם בְּנֵיכֶם וּבְנֹֽתֵיכֶם נְשֵׁיכֶם וּבָֽתֵּיכֶֽם׃
And I looked, and rose up, and said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Be not ye afraid of them: remember the Lord, which is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses.
וַתְּהִי צַֽעֲקַת הָעָם וּנְשֵׁיהֶם גְּדוֹלָה אֶל-אֲחֵיהֶם הַיְּהוּדִֽים׃
And there was a great cry of the people and of their wives against their brethren the Jews.
וַיִּמָּלֵךְ לִבִּי עָלַי וָֽאָרִיבָה אֶת-הַֽחֹרִים וְאֶת-הַסְּגָנִים וָאֹֽמְרָה לָהֶם מַשָּׁא אִישׁ-בְּאָחִיו אַתֶּם (נשאים) נֹשִׁים וָֽאֶתֵּן עֲלֵיהֶם קְהִלָּה גְדוֹלָֽה׃
Then I consulted with myself, and I rebuked the nobles, and the rulers, and said unto them, Ye exact usury, every one of his brother. And I set a great assembly against them.
וָֽאֶשְׁלְחָה עֲלֵיהֶם מַלְאָכִים לֵאמֹר מְלָאכָה גְדוֹלָה אֲנִי עֹשֶׂה וְלֹא אוּכַל לָרֶדֶת לָמָּה תִשְׁבַּת הַמְּלָאכָה כַּֽאֲשֶׁר אַרְפֶּהָ וְיָֽרַדְתִּי אֲלֵיכֶֽם׃
And I sent messengers unto them, saying, I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down: why should the work cease, whilst I leave it, and come down to you?
וְהָעִיר רַֽחֲבַת יָדַיִם וּגְדוֹלָה וְהָעָם מְעַט בְּתוֹכָהּ וְאֵין בָּתִּים בְּנוּיִֽם׃
Now the city was large and great: but the people were few therein, and the houses were not builded.
וַיְבָרֶךְ עֶזְרָא אֶת-יְהוָה הָֽאֱלֹהִים הַגָּדוֹל וַיַּֽעֲנוּ כָל-הָעָם אָמֵן׀ אָמֵן בְּמֹעַל יְדֵיהֶם וַיִּקְּדוּ וַיִּֽשְׁתַּחֲוֻּ לַֽיהוָה אַפַּיִם אָֽרְצָה׃
And Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God. And all the people answered, Amen, Amen, with lifting up their hands: and they bowed their heads, and worshipped the LORD with their faces to the ground.
וַיֵּֽלְכוּ כָל-הָעָם לֶֽאֱכֹל וְלִשְׁתּוֹת וּלְשַׁלַּח מָנוֹת וְלַֽעֲשׂוֹת שִׂמְחָה גְדוֹלָה כִּי הֵבִינוּ בַּדְּבָרִים אֲשֶׁר הוֹדִיעוּ לָהֶֽם׃
And all the people went their way to eat, and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great mirth, because they had understood the words that were declared unto them.
וַיַּֽעֲשׂוּ כָֽל-הַקָּהָל הַשָּׁבִים מִן-הַשְּׁבִי׀ סֻכּוֹת וַיֵּֽשְׁבוּ בַסֻּכּוֹת כִּי לֹֽא-עָשׂוּ מִימֵי יֵשׁוּעַ בִּן-נוּן כֵּן בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל עַד הַיּוֹם הַהוּא וַתְּהִי שִׂמְחָה גְּדוֹלָה מְאֹֽד׃
And all the congregation of them that were come again out of the captivity made booths, and sat under the booths: for since the days of Jeshua the son of Nun unto that day had not the children of Israel done so. And there was very great gladness.
וַיָּקָם עַֽל-מַֽעֲלֵה הַלְוִיִּם יֵשׁוּעַ וּבָנִי קַדְמִיאֵל שְׁבַנְיָה בֻּנִּי שֵׁרֵֽבְיָה בָּנִי כְנָנִי וַֽיִּזְעֲקוּ בְּקוֹל גָּדוֹל אֶל-יְהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיהֶֽם׃
Then stood up upon the stairs, of the Levites, Jeshua, and Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani, and cried with a loud voice unto the LORD their God.
אַף כִּֽי-עָשׂוּ לָהֶם עֵגֶל מַסֵּכָה וַיֹּאמְרוּ זֶה אֱלֹהֶיךָ אֲשֶׁר הֶֽעֶלְךָ מִמִּצְרָיִם וַֽיַּעֲשׂוּ נֶֽאָצוֹת גְּדֹלֽוֹת׃
Yea, when they had made them a molten calf, and said, This is thy God that brought thee up out of Egypt, and had wrought great provocations;
וַֽיִּלְכְּדוּ עָרִים בְּצֻרוֹת וַֽאֲדָמָה שְׁמֵנָה וַיִּֽירְשׁוּ בָּתִּים מְלֵֽאִים-כָּל-טוּב בֹּרוֹת חֲצוּבִים כְּרָמִים וְזֵיתִים וְעֵץ מַֽאֲכָל לָרֹב וַיֹּֽאכְלוּ וַֽיִּשְׂבְּעוּ וַיַּשְׁמִינוּ וַיִּֽתְעַדְּנוּ בְּטֽוּבְךָ הַגָּדֽוֹל׃
And they took strong cities, and a fat land, and possessed houses full of all goods, wells digged, vineyards, and oliveyards, and fruit trees in abundance: so they did eat, and were filled, and became fat, and delighted themselves in thy great goodness.
וַיַּמְרוּ וַֽיִּמְרְדוּ בָּךְ וַיַּשְׁלִכוּ אֶת-תּוֹרָֽתְךָ אַֽחֲרֵי גַוָּם וְאֶת-נְבִיאֶיךָ הָרָגוּ אֲשֶׁר-הֵעִידוּ בָם לַֽהֲשִׁיבָם אֵלֶיךָ וַֽיַּעֲשׂוּ נֶֽאָצוֹת גְּדוֹלֹֽת׃
Nevertheless they were disobedient, and rebelled against thee, and cast thy law behind their backs, and slew thy prophets which testified against them to turn them to thee, and they wrought great provocations.
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.
וּתְבֽוּאָתָהּ מַרְבָּה לַמְּלָכִים אֲשֶׁר-נָתַתָּה עָלֵינוּ בְּחַטֹּאותֵינוּ וְעַל גְּוִיֹּתֵינוּ מֹֽשְׁלִים וּבִבְהֶמְתֵּנוּ כִּרְצוֹנָם וּבְצָרָה גְדוֹלָה אֲנָֽחְנוּ׃
And it yieldeth much increase unto the kings whom thou hast set over us because of our sins: also they have dominion over our bodies, and over our cattle, at their pleasure, and we are in great distress.
וַֽאֲחֵיהֶם גִּבּוֹרֵי חַיִל מֵאָה עֶשְׂרִים וּשְׁמֹנָה וּפָקִיד עֲלֵיהֶם זַבְדִּיאֵל בֶּן-הַגְּדוֹלִֽים׃
And their brethren, mighty men of valour, an hundred twenty and eight: and their overseer was Zabdiel, the son of one of the great men.
וָאַֽעֲלֶה אֶת-שָׂרֵי יְהוּדָה מֵעַל לַֽחוֹמָה וָאַֽעֲמִידָה שְׁתֵּי תוֹדֹת גְּדוֹלֹת וְתַֽהֲלֻכֹת לַיָּמִין מֵעַל לַֽחוֹמָה לְשַׁעַר הָֽאַשְׁפֹּֽת׃
Then I brought up the princes of Judah upon the wall, and appointed two great companies of them that gave thanks, whereof one went on the right hand upon the wall toward the dung gate:
וַיִּזְבְּחוּ בַיּוֹם-הַהוּא זְבָחִים גְּדוֹלִים וַיִּשְׂמָחוּ כִּי הָֽאֱלֹהִים שִׂמְּחָם שִׂמְחָה גְדוֹלָה וְגַם הַנָּשִׁים וְהַיְלָדִים שָׂמֵחוּ וַתִּשָּׁמַע שִׂמְחַת יְרֽוּשָׁלִַם מֵֽרָחֽוֹק׃
Also that day they offered great sacrifices, and rejoiced: for God had made them rejoice with great joy: the wives also and the children rejoiced: so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even afar off.
וַיַּעַשׂ לוֹ לִשְׁכָּה גְדוֹלָה וְשָׁם הָיוּ לְפָנִים נֹֽתְנִים אֶת-הַמִּנְחָה הַלְּבוֹנָה וְהַכֵּלִים וּמַעְשַׂר הַדָּגָן הַתִּירוֹשׁ וְהַיִּצְהָר מִצְוַת הַלְוִיִּם וְהַמְשֹֽׁרְרִים וְהַשֹּׁעֲרִים וּתְרוּמַת הַכֹּֽהֲנִֽים׃
And he had prepared for him a great chamber, where aforetime they laid the meat offerings, the frankincense, and the vessels, and the tithes of the corn, the new wine, and the oil, which was commanded to be given to the Levites, and the singers, and the porters; and the offerings of the priests.
וְלָכֶם הֲנִשְׁמַע לַֽעֲשֹׂת אֵת כָּל-הָֽרָעָה הַגְּדוֹלָה הַזֹּאת לִמְעֹל בֵּֽאלֹהֵינוּ לְהֹשִׁיב נָשִׁים נָכְרִיּֽוֹת׃
Shall we then hearken unto you to do all this great evil, to transgress against our God in marrying strange wives?
