Verses 501–600 of 686 (page 6 of 7)
וּבְגִבְעוֹן יָֽשְׁבוּ אֲבִֽי-גִבְעוֹן (יעואל) יְעִיאֵל וְשֵׁם אִשְׁתּוֹ מַֽעֲכָֽה׃
And in Gibeon dwelt the father of Gibeon, Jehiel, whose wife's name was Maachah:
וַיִּקַּח דָּוִיד עוֹד נָשִׁים בִּירֽוּשָׁלִָם וַיּוֹלֶד דָּוִיד עוֹד בָּנִים וּבָנֽוֹת׃
And David took more wives at Jerusalem: and David begat more sons and daughters.
וַיְחַלֵּק לְכָל-אִישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל מֵאִישׁ וְעַד-אִשָּׁה לְאִישׁ כִּכַּר-לֶחֶם וְאֶשְׁפָּר וַֽאֲשִׁישָֽׁה׃
And he dealt to every one of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine.
בֶּן-אִשָּׁה מִן-בְּנוֹת דָּן וְאָבִיו אִישׁ-צֹרִי יוֹדֵעַ לַֽעֲשׂוֹת בַּזָּֽהָב-וּבַכֶּסֶף בַּנְּחֹשֶׁת בַּבַּרְזֶל בָּֽאֲבָנִים וּבָֽעֵצִים בָּֽאַרְגָּמָן בַּתְּכֵלֶת וּבַבּוּץ וּבַכַּרְמִיל וּלְפַתֵּחַ כָּל-פִּתּוּחַ וְלַחְשֹׁב כָּל-מַֽחֲשָׁבֶת אֲשֶׁר יִנָּֽתֶן-לוֹ עִם-חֲכָמֶיךָ וְֽחַכְמֵי אֲדֹנִי דָּוִיד אָבִֽיךָ׃
The son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his father was a man of Tyre, skilful to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, in iron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson; also to grave any manner of graving, and to find out every device which shall be put to him, with thy cunning men, and with the cunning men of my lord David thy father.
וְאֶת-בַּת-פַּרְעֹה הֶֽעֱלָה שְׁלֹמֹה מֵעִיר דָּוִיד לַבַּיִת אֲשֶׁר בָּֽנָה-לָהּ כִּי אָמַר לֹֽא-תֵשֵׁב אִשָּׁה לִי בְּבֵית דָּוִיד מֶֽלֶךְ-יִשְׂרָאֵל כִּֽי-קֹדֶשׁ הֵמָּה אֲשֶׁר-בָּֽאָה אֲלֵיהֶם אֲרוֹן יְהוָֽה׃
And Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharaoh out of the city of David unto the house that he had built for her: for he said, My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places are holy, whereunto the ark of the LORD hath come.
וַיִּֽקַּֽח-לוֹ רְחַבְעָם אִשָּׁה אֶת-מָחֲלַת (בן) בַּת-יְרִימוֹת בֶּן-דָּוִיד אֲבִיהַיִל בַּת-אֱלִיאָב בֶּן-יִשָֽׁי׃
And Rehoboam took him Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David to wife, and Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse;
וַיֶּֽאֱהַב רְחַבְעָם אֶת-מַֽעֲכָה בַת-אַבְשָׁלוֹם מִכָּל-נָשָׁיו וּפִילַגְשָׁיו כִּי נָשִׁים שְׁמוֹנֶֽה-עֶשְׂרֵה נָשָׂא וּפִֽילַגְשִׁים שִׁשִּׁים וַיּוֹלֶד עֶשְׂרִים וּשְׁמוֹנָה בָּנִים וְשִׁשִּׁים בָּנֽוֹת׃
And Rehoboam loved Maachah the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines: (for he took eighteen wives, and threescore concubines; and begat twenty and eight sons, and threescore daughters.)
וַיָּבֶן וַיִּפְרֹץ מִכָּל-בָּנָיו לְֽכָל-אַרְצוֹת יְהוּדָה וּבִנְיָמִן לְכֹל עָרֵי הַמְּצֻרוֹת וַיִּתֵּן לָהֶם הַמָּזוֹן לָרֹב וַיִּשְׁאַל הֲמוֹן נָשִֽׁים׃
And he dealt wisely, and dispersed of all his children throughout all the countries of Judah and Benjamin, unto every fenced city: and he gave them victual in abundance. And he desired many wives.
וַיִּתְחַזֵּק אֲבִיָּהוּ וַיִּשָּׂא-לוֹ נָשִׁים אַרְבַּע עֶשְׂרֵה וַיּוֹלֶד עֶשְׂרִים וּשְׁנַיִם בָּנִים וְשֵׁשׁ עֶשְׂרֵה בָּנֽוֹת׃
But Abijah waxed mighty, and married fourteen wives, and begat twenty and two sons, and sixteen daughters.
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.
וְכָל-יְהוּדָה עֹֽמְדִים לִפְנֵי יְהוָה גַּם-טַפָּם נְשֵׁיהֶם וּבְנֵיהֶֽם׃
And all Judah stood before the LORD, with their little ones, their wives, and their children.
וַיֵּלֶךְ בְּדֶרֶךְ׀ מַלְכֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל כַּֽאֲשֶׁר עָשׂוּ בֵּית אַחְאָב כִּי בַּת-אַחְאָב הָיְתָה לּוֹ אִשָּׁה וַיַּעַשׂ הָרַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָֽה׃
And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, like as did the house of Ahab: for he had the daughter of Ahab to wife: and he wrought that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD.
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:
וַיַּֽעֲלוּ בִֽיהוּדָה וַיִּבְקָעוּהָ וַיִּשְׁבּוּ אֵת כָּל-הָֽרְכוּשׁ הַנִּמְצָא לְבֵית-הַמֶּלֶךְ וְגַם-בָּנָיו וְנָשָׁיו וְלֹא נִשְׁאַר-לוֹ בֵּן כִּי אִם-יְהֽוֹאָחָז קְטֹן בָּנָֽיו׃
And they came up into Judah, and brake into it, and carried away all the substance that was found in the king's house, and his sons also, and his wives; so that there was never a son left him, save Jehoahaz, the youngest of his sons.
וַתִּקַּח יְהֽוֹשַׁבְעַת בַּת-הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶת-יוֹאָשׁ בֶּן-אֲחַזְיָהוּ וַתִּגְנֹב אֹתוֹ מִתּוֹךְ בְּנֵֽי-הַמֶּלֶךְ הַמּוּמָתִים וַתִּתֵּן אֹתוֹ וְאֶת-מֵֽינִקְתּוֹ בַּֽחֲדַר הַמִּטּוֹת וַתַּסְתִּירֵהוּ יְהֽוֹשַׁבְעַת בַּת-הַמֶּלֶךְ יְהוֹרָם אֵשֶׁת יְהֽוֹיָדָע הַכֹּהֵן כִּי הִיא הָֽיְתָה אֲחוֹת אֲחַזְיָהוּ מִפְּנֵי עֲתַלְיָהוּ וְלֹא הֱמִיתָֽתְהוּ׃
But Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king's sons that were slain, and put him and his nurse in a bedchamber. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of king Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest, (for she was the sister of Ahaziah,) hid him from Athaliah, so that she slew him not.
וַיִּשָּׂא-לוֹ יְהֽוֹיָדָע נָשִׁים שְׁתָּיִם וַיּוֹלֶד בָּנִים וּבָנֽוֹת׃
And Jehoiada took for him two wives; and he begat sons and daughters.
וַיִּשְׁלַח יוֹאָשׁ מֶֽלֶךְ-יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל-אֲמַצְיָהוּ מֶֽלֶךְ-יְהוּדָה לֵאמֹר הַחוֹחַ אֲשֶׁר בַּלְּבָנוֹן שָׁלַח אֶל-הָאֶרֶז אֲשֶׁר בַּלְּבָנוֹן לֵאמֹר תְּנָֽה-אֶת-בִּתְּךָ לִבְנִי לְאִשָּׁה וַֽתַּעֲבֹר חַיַּת הַשָּׂדֶה אֲשֶׁר בַּלְּבָנוֹן וַתִּרְמֹס אֶת-הַחֽוֹחַ׃
And Joash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and there passed by a wild beast that was in Lebanon, and trode down the thistle.
וַיִּשְׁבּוּ בְנֵֽי-יִשְׂרָאֵל מֵֽאֲחֵיהֶם מָאתַיִם אֶלֶף נָשִׁים בָּנִים וּבָנוֹת וְגַם-שָׁלָל רָב בָּֽזְזוּ מֵהֶם וַיָּבִיאוּ אֶת-הַשָּׁלָל לְשֹֽׁמְרֽוֹן׃
And the children of Israel carried away captive of their brethren two hundred thousand, women, sons, and daughters, and took also away much spoil from them, and brought the spoil to Samaria.
וְהִנֵּה נָֽפְלוּ אֲבוֹתֵינוּ בֶּחָרֶב וּבָנֵינוּ וּבְנוֹתֵינוּ וְנָשֵׁינוּ בַּשְּׁבִי עַל-זֹֽאת׃
For, lo, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this.
וּלְהִתְיַחֵשׂ בְּכָל-טַפָּם נְשֵׁיהֶם וּבְנֵיהֶם וּבְנֽוֹתֵיהֶם לְכָל-קָהָל כִּי בֶאֱמֽוּנָתָם יִתְקַדְּשׁוּ-קֹֽדֶשׁ׃
And to the genealogy of all their little ones, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, through all the congregation: for in their set office they sanctified themselves in holiness:
וַיֵּלֶךְ חִלְקִיָּהוּ וַֽאֲשֶׁר הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶל-חֻלְדָּה הַנְּבִיאָה אֵשֶׁת׀ שַׁלֻּם בֶּן-(תוקהת) תָּקְהַת בֶּן-חַסְרָה שׁוֹמֵר הַבְּגָדִים וְהִיא יוֹשֶׁבֶת בִּירֽוּשָׁלִַם בַּמִּשְׁנֶה וַיְדַבְּרוּ אֵלֶיהָ כָּזֹֽאת׃
And Hilkiah, and they that the king had appointed, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvath, the son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the college:) and they spake to her to that effect.
וּמִבְּנֵי הַכֹּהֲנִים בְּנֵי חֳבַיָּה בְּנֵי הַקּוֹץ בְּנֵי בַרְזִלַּי אֲשֶׁר לָקַח מִבְּנוֹת בַּרְזִלַּי הַגִּלְעָדִי אִשָּׁה וַיִּקָּרֵא עַל-שְׁמָֽם׃
And of the children of the priests: the children of Habaiah, the children of Koz, the children of Barzillai; which took a wife of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and was called after their name:
וּכְהִתְפַּלֵּל עֶזְרָא וּכְהִתְוַדֹּתוֹ בֹּכֶה וּמִתְנַפֵּל לִפְנֵי בֵּית הָֽאֱלֹהִים נִקְבְּצוּ אֵלָיו מִיִּשְׂרָאֵל קָהָל רַב-מְאֹד אֲנָשִׁים וְנָשִׁים וִֽילָדִים כִּֽי-בָכוּ הָעָם הַרְבֵּה-בֶֽכֶה׃
Now when Ezra had prayed, and when he had confessed, weeping and casting himself down before the house of God, there assembled unto him out of Israel a very great congregation of men and women and children: for the people wept very sore.
וַיַּעַן שְׁכַנְיָה בֶן-יְחִיאֵל מִבְּנֵי (עולם) עֵילָם וַיֹּאמֶר לְעֶזְרָא אֲנַחְנוּ מָעַלְנוּ בֵֽאלֹהֵינוּ וַנֹּשֶׁב נָשִׁים נָכְרִיּוֹת מֵֽעַמֵּי הָאָרֶץ וְעַתָּה יֵשׁ-מִקְוֶה לְיִשְׂרָאֵל עַל-זֹֽאת׃
And Shechaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered and said unto Ezra, We have trespassed against our God, and have taken strange wives of the people of the land: yet now there is hope in Israel concerning this thing.
וְעַתָּה נִֽכְרָת-בְּרִית לֵֽאלֹהֵינוּ לְהוֹצִיא כָל-נָשִׁים וְהַנּוֹלָד מֵהֶם בַּֽעֲצַת אֲדֹנָי וְהַֽחֲרֵדִים בְּמִצְוַת אֱלֹהֵינוּ וְכַתּוֹרָה יֵֽעָשֶֽׂה׃
Now therefore let us make a covenant with our God to put away all the wives, and such as are born of them, according to the counsel of my lord, and of those that tremble at the commandment of our God; and let it be done according to the law.
וַיָּקָם עֶזְרָא הַכֹּהֵן וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵהֶם אַתֶּם מְעַלְתֶּם וַתֹּשִׁיבוּ נָשִׁים נָכְרִיּוֹת לְהוֹסִיף עַל-אַשְׁמַת יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And Ezra the priest stood up, and said unto them, Ye have transgressed, and have taken strange wives, to increase the trespass of Israel.
וְעַתָּה תְּנוּ תוֹדָה לַֽיהוָה אֱלֹהֵֽי-אֲבֹתֵיכֶם וַֽעֲשׂוּ רְצוֹנוֹ וְהִבָּֽדְלוּ מֵֽעַמֵּי הָאָרֶץ וּמִן-הַנָּשִׁים הַנָּכְרִיּֽוֹת׃
Now therefore make confession unto the LORD God of your fathers, and do his pleasure: and separate yourselves from the people of the land, and from the strange wives.
יַֽעֲמְדוּ-נָא שָׂרֵינוּ לְֽכָל-הַקָּהָל וְכֹל׀ אֲשֶׁר בֶּֽעָרֵינוּ הַֽהֹשִׁיב נָשִׁים נָכְרִיּוֹת יָבֹא לְעִתִּים מְזֻמָּנִים וְעִמָּהֶם זִקְנֵי-עִיר וָעִיר וְשֹֽׁפְטֶיהָ עַד לְהָשִׁיב חֲרוֹן אַף-אֱלֹהֵינוּ מִמֶּנּוּ עַד לַדָּבָר הַזֶּֽה׃
Let now our rulers of all the congregation stand, and let all them which have taken strange wives in our cities come at appointed times, and with them the elders of every city, and the judges thereof, until the fierce wrath of our God for this matter be turned from us.
וַיְכַלּוּ בַכֹּל אֲנָשִׁים הַֽהֹשִׁיבוּ נָשִׁים נָכְרִיּוֹת עַד יוֹם אֶחָד לַחֹדֶשׁ הָֽרִאשֽׁוֹן׃
And they made an end with all the men that had taken strange wives by the first day of the first month.
וַיִּמָּצֵא מִבְּנֵי הַכֹּֽהֲנִים אֲשֶׁר הֹשִׁיבוּ נָשִׁים נָכְרִיּוֹת מִבְּנֵי יֵשׁוּעַ בֶּן-יֽוֹצָדָק וְאֶחָיו מַֽעֲשֵׂיָה וֶֽאֱלִיעֶזֶר וְיָרִיב וּגְדַלְיָֽה׃
And among the sons of the priests there were found that had taken strange wives: namely, of the sons of Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren; Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah.
וַיִּתְּנוּ יָדָם לְהוֹצִיא נְשֵׁיהֶם וַֽאֲשֵׁמִים אֵֽיל-צֹאן עַל-אַשְׁמָתָֽם׃
And they gave their hands that they would put away their wives; and being guilty, they offered a ram of the flock for their trespass.
כָּל-אֵלֶּה (נשאי) נָשְׂאוּ נָשִׁים נָכְרִיּוֹת וְיֵשׁ מֵהֶם נָשִׁים וַיָּשִׂימוּ בָּנִֽים׃
All these had taken strange wives: and some of them had wives by whom they had children.
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.
וּמִן-הַכֹּהֲנִים בְּנֵי חֳבַיָּה בְּנֵי הַקּוֹץ בְּנֵי בַרְזִלַּי אֲשֶׁר לָקַח מִבְּנוֹת בַּרְזִלַּי הַגִּלְעָדִי אִשָּׁה וַיִּקָּרֵא עַל-שְׁמָֽם׃
And of the priests: the children of Habaiah, the children of Koz, the children of Barzillai, which took one of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite to wife, and was called after their name.
וַיָּבִיא עֶזְרָא הַכֹּהֵן אֶֽת-הַתּוֹרָה לִפְנֵי הַקָּהָל מֵאִישׁ וְעַד-אִשָּׁה וְכֹל מֵבִין לִשְׁמֹעַ בְּיוֹם אֶחָד לַחֹדֶשׁ הַשְּׁבִיעִֽי׃
And Ezra the priest brought the law before the congregation both of men and women, and all that could hear with understanding, upon the first day of the seventh month.
וַיִּקְרָא-בוֹ לִפְנֵי הָֽרְחוֹב אֲשֶׁר׀ לִפְנֵי שַֽׁעַר-הַמַּיִם מִן-הָאוֹר עַד-מַֽחֲצִית הַיּוֹם נֶגֶד הָֽאֲנָשִׁים וְהַנָּשִׁים וְהַמְּבִינִים וְאָזְנֵי כָל-הָעָם אֶל-סֵפֶר הַתּוֹרָֽה׃
And he read therein before the street that was before the water gate from the morning until midday, before the men and the women, and those that could understand; and the ears of all the people were attentive unto the book of the law.
וּשְׁאָר הָעָם הַכֹּֽהֲנִים הַלְוִיִּם הַשּֽׁוֹעֲרִים הַמְשֹֽׁרְרִים הַנְּתִינִים וְֽכָל-הַנִּבְדָּל מֵֽעַמֵּי הָֽאֲרָצוֹת אֶל-תּוֹרַת הָֽאֱלֹהִים נְשֵׁיהֶם בְּנֵיהֶם וּבְנֹֽתֵיהֶם כֹּל יוֹדֵעַ מֵבִֽין׃
And the rest of the people, the priests, the Levites, the porters, the singers, the Nethinims, and all they that had separated themselves from the people of the lands unto the law of God, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, every one having knowledge, and having understanding;
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.
גַּם׀ בַּיָּמִים הָהֵם רָאִיתִי אֶת-הַיְּהוּדִים הֹשִׁיבוּ נָשִׁים (אשדודיות) אַשְׁדֳּדִיּוֹת (עמוניות) אַשְׁדֳּדִיּוֹת מֽוֹאֲבִיּֽוֹת׃
In those days also saw I Jews that had married wives of Ashdod, of Ammon, and of Moab:
הֲלוֹא עַל-אֵלֶּה חָטָֽא-שְׁלֹמֹה מֶלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל וּבַגּוֹיִם הָֽרַבִּים לֹֽא-הָיָה מֶלֶךְ כָּמֹהוּ וְאָהוּב לֵֽאלֹהָיו הָיָה וַיִּתְּנֵהוּ אֱלֹהִים מֶלֶךְ עַל-כָּל-יִשְׂרָאֵל גַּם-אוֹתוֹ הֶֽחֱטִיאוּ הַנָּשִׁים הַנָּכְרִיּֽוֹת׃
Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? yet among many nations was there no king like him, who was beloved of his God, and God made him king over all Israel: nevertheless even him did outlandish women cause to sin.
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?
גַּם וַשְׁתִּי הַמַּלְכָּה עָֽשְׂתָה מִשְׁתֵּה נָשִׁים בֵּית הַמַּלְכוּת אֲשֶׁר לַמֶּלֶךְ אֲחַשְׁוֵרֽוֹשׁ׃
Also Vashti the queen made a feast for the women in the royal house which belonged to king Ahasuerus.
כִּֽי-יֵצֵא דְבַר-הַמַּלְכָּה עַל-כָּל-הַנָּשִׁים לְהַבְזוֹת בַּעְלֵיהֶן בְּעֵֽינֵיהֶן בְּאָמְרָם הַמֶּלֶךְ אֲחַשְׁוֵרוֹשׁ אָמַר לְהָבִיא אֶת-וַשְׁתִּי הַמַּלְכָּה לְפָנָיו וְלֹא-בָֽאָה׃
For this deed of the queen shall come abroad unto all women, so that they shall despise their husbands in their eyes, when it shall be reported, The king Ahasuerus commanded Vashti the queen to be brought in before him, but she came not.
וְנִשְׁמַע פִּתְגָם הַמֶּלֶךְ אֲשֶֽׁר-יַעֲשֶׂה בְּכָל-מַלְכוּתוֹ כִּי רַבָּה הִיא וְכָל-הַנָּשִׁים יִתְּנוּ יְקָר לְבַעְלֵיהֶן לְמִגָּדוֹל וְעַד-קָטָֽן׃
And when the king's decree which he shall make shall be published throughout all his empire, (for it is great,) all the wives shall give to their husbands honour, both to great and small.
וְיַפְקֵד הַמֶּלֶךְ פְּקִידִים בְּכָל-מְדִינוֹת מַלְכוּתוֹ וְיִקְבְּצוּ אֶת-כָּל-נַעֲרָֽה-בְתוּלָה טוֹבַת מַרְאֶה אֶל-שׁוּשַׁן הַבִּירָה אֶל-בֵּית הַנָּשִׁים אֶל-יַד הֵגֶא סְרִיס הַמֶּלֶךְ שֹׁמֵר הַנָּשִׁים וְנָתוֹן תַּמְרוּקֵיהֶֽן׃
And let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that they may gather together all the fair young virgins unto Shushan the palace, to the house of the women, unto the custody of Hege the king's chamberlain, keeper of the women; and let their things for purification be given them:
וַיְהִי בְּהִשָּׁמַע דְּבַר-הַמֶּלֶךְ וְדָתוֹ וּֽבְהִקָּבֵץ נְעָרוֹת רַבּוֹת אֶל-שׁוּשַׁן הַבִּירָה אֶל-יַד הֵגָי וַתִּלָּקַח אֶסְתֵּר אֶל-בֵּית הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶל-יַד הֵגַי שֹׁמֵר הַנָּשִֽׁים׃
So it came to pass, when the king's commandment and his decree was heard, and when many maidens were gathered together unto Shushan the palace, to the custody of Hegai, that Esther was brought also unto the king's house, to the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women.
וַתִּיטַב הַנַּֽעֲרָה בְעֵינָיו וַתִּשָּׂא חֶסֶד לְפָנָיו וַיְבַהֵל אֶת-תַּמְרוּקֶיהָ וְאֶת-מָֽנוֹתֶהָ לָתֵת לָהּ וְאֵת שֶׁבַע הַנְּעָרוֹת הָֽרְאֻיוֹת לָֽתֶת-לָהּ מִבֵּית הַמֶּלֶךְ וַיְשַׁנֶּהָ וְאֶת-נַֽעֲרוֹתֶיהָ לְטוֹב בֵּית הַנָּשִֽׁים׃
And the maiden pleased him, and she obtained kindness of him; and he speedily gave her her things for purification, with such things as belonged to her, and seven maidens, which were meet to be given her, out of the king's house: and he preferred her and her maids unto the best place of the house of the women.
וּבְכָל-יוֹם וָיוֹם מָרְדֳּכַי מִתְהַלֵּךְ לִפְנֵי חֲצַר בֵּית-הַנָּשִׁים לָדַעַת אֶת-שְׁלוֹם אֶסְתֵּר וּמַה-יֵּֽעָשֶׂה בָּֽהּ׃
And Mordecai walked every day before the court of the women's house, to know how Esther did, and what should become of her.
וּבְהַגִּיעַ תֹּר נַֽעֲרָה וְנַֽעֲרָה לָבוֹא׀ אֶל-הַמֶּלֶךְ אֲחַשְׁוֵרוֹשׁ מִקֵּץ הֱיוֹת לָהּ כְּדָת הַנָּשִׁים שְׁנֵים עָשָׂר חֹדֶשׁ כִּי כֵּן יִמְלְאוּ יְמֵי מְרֽוּקֵיהֶן שִׁשָּׁה חֳדָשִׁים בְּשֶׁמֶן הַמֹּר וְשִׁשָּׁה חֳדָשִׁים בַּבְּשָׂמִים וּבְתַמְרוּקֵי הַנָּשִֽׁים׃
Now when every maid's turn was come to go in to king Ahasuerus, after that she had been twelve months, according to the manner of the women, (for so were the days of their purifications accomplished, to wit, six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet odours, and with other things for the purifying of the women;)
וּבָזֶה הַֽנַּעֲרָה בָּאָה אֶל-הַמֶּלֶךְ אֵת כָּל-אֲשֶׁר תֹּאמַר יִנָּתֵֽן לָהּ לָבוֹא עִמָּהּ מִבֵּית הַנָּשִׁים עַד-בֵּית הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃
Then thus came every maiden unto the king; whatsoever she desired was given her to go with her out of the house of the women unto the king's house.
בָּעֶרֶב׀ הִיא בָאָה וּבַבֹּקֶר הִיא שָׁבָה אֶל-בֵּית הַנָּשִׁים שֵׁנִי אֶל-יַד שַֽׁעֲשְׁגַז סְרִיס הַמֶּלֶךְ שֹׁמֵר הַפִּֽילַגְשִׁים לֹֽא-תָבוֹא עוֹד אֶל-הַמֶּלֶךְ כִּי אִם-חָפֵץ בָּהּ הַמֶּלֶךְ וְנִקְרְאָה בְשֵֽׁם׃
In the evening she went, and on the morrow she returned into the second house of the women, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king's chamberlain, which kept the concubines: she came in unto the king no more, except the king delighted in her, and that she were called by name.
וּבְהַגִּיעַ תֹּר-אֶסְתֵּר בַּת-אֲבִיחַיִל דֹּד מָרְדֳּכַי אֲשֶׁר לָקַֽח-לוֹ לְבַת לָבוֹא אֶל-הַמֶּלֶךְ לֹא בִקְשָׁה דָּבָר כִּי אִם אֶת-אֲשֶׁר יֹאמַר הֵגַי סְרִיס-הַמֶּלֶךְ שֹׁמֵר הַנָּשִׁים וַתְּהִי אֶסְתֵּר נֹשֵׂאת חֵן בְּעֵינֵי כָּל-רֹאֶֽיהָ׃
Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king's chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed. And Esther obtained favour in the sight of all them that looked upon her.
וַיֶּֽאֱהַב הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶת-אֶסְתֵּר מִכָּל-הַנָּשִׁים וַתִּשָּׂא-חֵן וָחֶסֶד לְפָנָיו מִכָּל-הַבְּתוּלֹת וַיָּשֶׂם כֶּֽתֶר-מַלְכוּת בְּרֹאשָׁהּ וַיַּמְלִיכֶהָ תַּחַת וַשְׁתִּֽי׃
And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained grace and favour in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti.
וְנִשְׁלוֹחַ סְפָרִים בְּיַד הָֽרָצִים אֶל-כָּל-מְדִינוֹת הַמֶּלֶךְ לְהַשְׁמִיד לַֽהֲרֹג וּלְאַבֵּד אֶת-כָּל-הַיְּהוּדִים מִנַּעַר וְעַד-זָקֵן טַף וְנָשִׁים בְּיוֹם אֶחָד בִּשְׁלוֹשָׁה עָשָׂר לְחֹדֶשׁ שְׁנֵים-עָשָׂר הוּא-חֹדֶשׁ אֲדָר וּשְׁלָלָם לָבֽוֹז׃
And the letters were sent by posts into all the king's provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, even upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to take the spoil of them for a prey.
כָּל-עַבְדֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ וְעַם-מְדִינוֹת הַמֶּלֶךְ יֽוֹדְעִים אֲשֶׁר כָּל-אִישׁ וְאִשָּׁה אֲשֶׁר יָבֽוֹא-אֶל-הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶל-הֶֽחָצֵר הַפְּנִימִית אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא-יִקָּרֵא אַחַת דָּתוֹ לְהָמִית לְבַד מֵֽאֲשֶׁר יֽוֹשִׁיט-לוֹ הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶת-שַׁרְבִיט הַזָּהָב וְחָיָה וַֽאֲנִי לֹא נִקְרֵאתִי לָבוֹא אֶל-הַמֶּלֶךְ זֶה שְׁלוֹשִׁים יֽוֹם׃
All the king's servants, and the people of the king's provinces, do know, that whosoever, whether man or woman, shall come unto the king into the inner court, who is not called, there is one law of his to put him to death, except such to whom the king shall hold out the golden sceptre, that he may live: but I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days.
וַיִּתְאַפַּק הָמָן וַיָּבוֹא אֶל-בֵּיתוֹ וַיִּשְׁלַח וַיָּבֵא אֶת-אֹֽהֲבָיו וְאֶת-זֶרֶשׁ אִשְׁתּֽוֹ׃
Nevertheless Haman refrained himself: and when he came home, he sent and called for his friends, and Zeresh his wife.
וַתֹּאמֶר לוֹ זֶרֶשׁ אִשְׁתּוֹ וְכָל-אֹֽהֲבָיו יַֽעֲשׂוּ-עֵץ גָּבֹהַּ חֲמִשִּׁים אַמָּה וּבַבֹּקֶר׀ אֱמֹר לַמֶּלֶךְ וְיִתְלוּ אֶֽת-מָרְדֳּכַי עָלָיו וּבֹֽא-עִם-הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶל-הַמִּשְׁתֶּה שָׂמֵחַ וַיִּיטַב הַדָּבָר לִפְנֵי הָמָן וַיַּעַשׂ הָעֵֽץ׃
Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends unto him, Let a gallows be made of fifty cubits high, and to morrow speak thou unto the king that Mordecai may be hanged thereon: then go thou in merrily with the king unto the banquet. And the thing pleased Haman; and he caused the gallows to be made.
וַיְסַפֵּר הָמָן לְזֶרֶשׁ אִשְׁתּוֹ וּלְכָל-אֹהֲבָיו אֵת כָּל-אֲשֶׁר קָרָהוּ וַיֹּאמְרוּ לוֹ חֲכָמָיו וְזֶרֶשׁ אִשְׁתּוֹ אִם מִזֶּרַע הַיְּהוּדִים מָרְדֳּכַי אֲשֶׁר הַחִלּוֹתָ לִנְפֹּל לְפָנָיו לֹֽא-תוּכַל לוֹ כִּֽי-נָפוֹל תִּפּוֹל לְפָנָֽיו׃
And Haman told Zeresh his wife and all his friends every thing that had befallen him. Then said his wise men and Zeresh his wife unto him, If Mordecai be of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou shalt not prevail against him, but shalt surely fall before him.
אֲשֶׁר נָתַן הַמֶּלֶךְ לַיְּהוּדִים׀ אֲשֶׁר בְּכָל-עִיר-וָעִיר לְהִקָּהֵל וְלַֽעֲמֹד עַל-נַפְשָׁם לְהַשְׁמִיד וְלַֽהֲרֹג וּלְאַבֵּד אֶת-כָּל-חֵיל עַם וּמְדִינָה הַצָּרִים אֹתָם טַף וְנָשִׁים וּשְׁלָלָם לָבֽוֹז׃
Wherein the king granted the Jews which were in every city to gather themselves together, and to stand for their life, to destroy, to slay, and to cause to perish, all the power of the people and province that would assault them, both little ones and women, and to take the spoil of them for a prey,
וַתֹּאמֶר לוֹ אִשְׁתּוֹ עֹֽדְךָ מַֽחֲזִיק בְּתֻמָּתֶךָ בָּרֵךְ אֱלֹהִים וָמֻֽת׃
Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die.
אָדָם יְלוּד אִשָּׁה קְצַר יָמִים וּֽשְׂבַֽע-רֹֽגֶז׃
Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.
מָֽה-אֱנוֹשׁ כִּֽי-יִזְכֶּה וְכִֽי-יִצְדַּק יְלוּד אִשָּֽׁה׃
What is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
רוּחִֽי זָרָה לְאִשְׁתִּי וְחַנֹּתִי לִבְנֵי בִטְנִֽי׃
My breath is strange to my wife, though I intreated for the children's sake of mine own body.
וּמַה-יִּצְדַּק אֱנוֹשׁ עִם-אֵל וּמַה-יִּזְכֶּה יְלוּד אִשָּֽׁה׃
How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?
אִם-נִפְתָּה לִבִּי עַל-אִשָּׁה וְעַל-פֶּתַח רֵעִי אָרָֽבְתִּי׃
If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or if I have laid wait at my neighbour's door;
תִּטְחַן לְאַחֵר אִשְׁתִּי וְעָלֶיהָ יִכְרְעוּן אֲחֵרִֽין׃
Then let my wife grind unto another, and let others bow down upon her.
וְלֹא נִמְצָא נָשִׁים יָפוֹת כִּבְנוֹת אִיּוֹב בְּכָל-הָאָרֶץ וַיִּתֵּן לָהֶם אֲבִיהֶם נַחֲלָה בְּתוֹךְ אֲחֵיהֶֽם׃
And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.
כְּמוֹ שַׁבְּלוּל תֶּמֶס יַהֲלֹךְ נֵפֶל אֵשֶׁת בַּל-חָזוּ שָֽׁמֶשׁ׃
As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away: like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun.
יִֽהְיוּ-בָנָיו יְתוֹמִים וְאִשְׁתּוֹ אַלְמָנָֽה׃
Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
אֶשְׁתְּךָ׀ כְּגֶפֶן פֹּרִיָּה בְּיַרְכְּתֵי בֵיתֶךָ בָּנֶיךָ כִּשְׁתִלֵי זֵיתִים סָבִיב לְשֻׁלְחָנֶֽךָ׃
Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.
לְהַצִּילְךָ מֵאִשָּׁה זָרָה מִנָּכְרִיָּה אֲמָרֶיהָ הֶחֱלִֽיקָה׃
To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;
יְהִֽי-מְקוֹרְךָ בָרוּךְ וּשְׂמַח מֵאֵשֶׁת נְעוּרֶֽךָ׃
Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.
לִשְׁמָרְךָ מֵאֵשֶׁת רָע מֵֽחֶלְקַת לָשׁוֹן נָכְרִיָּֽה׃
To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.
כִּי בְעַד-אִשָּׁה זוֹנָה עַֽד-כִּכַּר לָחֶם וְאֵשֶׁת אִישׁ נֶפֶשׁ יְקָרָה תָצֽוּד׃
For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life.
כֵּן הַבָּא אֶל-אֵשֶׁת רֵעֵהוּ לֹא יִנָּקֶה כָּֽל-הַנֹּגֵעַ בָּֽהּ׃
So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.
נֹאֵף אִשָּׁה חֲסַר-לֵב מַֽשְׁחִית נַפְשׁוֹ הוּא יַעֲשֶֽׂנָּה׃
But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.
לִשְׁמָרְךָ מֵאִשָּׁה זָרָה מִנָּכְרִיָּה אֲמָרֶיהָ הֶחֱלִֽיקָה׃
That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words.
וְהִנֵּה אִשָּׁה לִקְרָאתוֹ שִׁית זוֹנָה וּנְצֻרַת לֵֽב׃
And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.
אֵשֶׁת כְּסִילוּת הֹֽמִיָּה פְּתַיּוּת וּבַל-יָדְעָה מָּֽה׃
A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing.
אֵֽשֶׁת-חֵן תִּתְמֹךְ כָּבוֹד וְעָרִיצִים יִתְמְכוּ-עֹֽשֶׁר׃
A gracious woman retaineth honour: and strong men retain riches.
נֶזֶם זָהָב בְּאַף חֲזִיר אִשָּׁה יָפָה וְסָרַת טָֽעַם׃
As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion.
אֵֽשֶׁת-חַיִל עֲטֶרֶת בַּעְלָהּ וּכְרָקָב בְּעַצְמוֹתָיו מְבִישָֽׁה׃
A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.
חַכְמוֹת נָשִׁים בָּנְתָה בֵיתָהּ וְאִוֶּלֶת בְּיָדֶיהָ תֶהֶרְסֶֽנּוּ׃
Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.
מָצָא אִשָּׁה מָצָא טוֹב וַיָּפֶק רָצוֹן מֵיְהוָֽה׃
Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.
הַוֹּת לְאָבִיו בֵּן כְּסִיל וְדֶלֶף טֹרֵד מִדְיְנֵי אִשָּֽׁה׃
A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.
בַּיִת וָהוֹן נַחֲלַת אָבוֹת וּמֵיְהוָה אִשָּׁה מַשְׂכָּֽלֶת׃
House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the LORD.
טוֹב לָשֶׁבֶת עַל-פִּנַּת-גָּג מֵאֵשֶׁת מִדְיָנִים וּבֵית חָֽבֶר׃
It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.
טוֹב שֶׁבֶת בְּאֶֽרֶץ-מִדְבָּר מֵאֵשֶׁת (מדונים) מִדְיָנִים וָכָֽעַס׃
It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman.
טוֹב שֶׁבֶת עַל-פִּנַּת-גָּג מֵאֵשֶׁת (מדונים) מִדְיָנִים וּבֵית חָֽבֶר׃
It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman and in a wide house.
דֶּלֶף טוֹרֵד בְּיוֹם סַגְרִיר וְאֵשֶׁת (מדונים) מִדְיָנִים נִשְׁתָּוָֽה׃
A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.
כֵּן׀ דֶּרֶךְ אִשָּׁה מְנָאָפֶת אָכְלָה וּמָחֲתָה פִיהָ וְאָמְרָה לֹֽא-פָעַלְתִּי אָֽוֶן׃
Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness.
אַל-תִּתֵּן לַנָּשִׁים חֵילֶךָ וּדְרָכֶיךָ לַֽמְחוֹת מְלָכִֽין׃
Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings.
אֵֽשֶׁת-חַיִל מִי יִמְצָא וְרָחֹק מִפְּנִינִים מִכְרָֽהּ׃
Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
שֶׁקֶר הַחֵן וְהֶבֶל הַיֹּפִי אִשָּׁה יִרְאַת-יְהוָה הִיא תִתְהַלָּֽל׃
Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.
וּמוֹצֶא אֲנִי מַר מִמָּוֶת אֶת-הָֽאִשָּׁה אֲשֶׁר-הִיא מְצוֹדִים וַחֲרָמִים לִבָּהּ אֲסוּרִים יָדֶיהָ טוֹב לִפְנֵי הָאֱלֹהִים יִמָּלֵט מִמֶּנָּה וְחוֹטֵא יִלָּכֶד בָּֽהּ׃
And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands as bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her.
אֲשֶׁר עוֹד-בִּקְשָׁה נַפְשִׁי וְלֹא מָצָאתִי אָדָם אֶחָד מֵאֶלֶף מָצָאתִי וְאִשָּׁה בְכָל-אֵלֶּה לֹא מָצָֽאתִי׃
Which yet my soul seeketh, but I find not: one man among a thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not found.
רְאֵה חַיִּים עִם-אִשָּׁה אֲשֶׁר-אָהַבְתָּ כָּל-יְמֵי חַיֵּי הֶבְלֶךָ אֲשֶׁר נָֽתַן-לְךָ תַּחַת הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ כֹּל יְמֵי הֶבְלֶךָ כִּי הוּא חֶלְקְךָ בַּֽחַיִּים וּבַעֲמָלְךָ אֲשֶׁר-אַתָּה עָמֵל תַּחַת הַשָּֽׁמֶשׁ׃
Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun.
אִם-לֹא תֵדְעִי לָךְ הַיָּפָה בַּנָּשִׁים צְֽאִי-לָךְ בְּעִקְבֵי הַצֹּאן וּרְעִי אֶת-גְּדִיֹּתַיִךְ עַל מִשְׁכְּנוֹת הָרֹעִֽים׃
If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, and feed thy kids beside the shepherds' tents.
מַה-דּוֹדֵךְ מִדּוֹד הַיָּפָה בַּנָּשִׁים מַה-דּוֹדֵךְ מִדּוֹד שֶׁכָּכָה הִשְׁבַּעְתָּֽנוּ׃
What is thy beloved more than another beloved, O thou fairest among women? what is thy beloved more than another beloved, that thou dost so charge us?
