Where Valley of Mizpeh appears in Scripture
כָּל-אֵלֶּה חָֽבְרוּ אֶל-עֵמֶק הַשִּׂדִּים הוּא יָם הַמֶּֽלַח׃
All these were joined together in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt sea.
וַיֵּצֵא מֶֽלֶךְ-סְדֹם וּמֶלֶךְ עֲמֹרָה וּמֶלֶךְ אַדְמָה וּמֶלֶךְ (צביים) צְבוֹיִם וּמֶלֶךְ בֶּלַע הִוא-צֹעַר וַיַּֽעַרְכוּ אִתָּם מִלְחָמָה בְּעֵמֶק הַשִּׂדִּֽים׃
And there went out the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (the same is Zoar;) and they joined battle with them in the vale of Siddim;
וְעֵמֶק הַשִׂדִּים בֶּֽאֱרֹת בֶּֽאֱרֹת חֵמָר וַיָּנֻסוּ מֶֽלֶךְ-סְדֹם וַֽעֲמֹרָה וַיִּפְּלוּ-שָׁמָּה וְהַנִּשְׁאָרִים הֶרָה נָּֽסוּ׃
And the vale of Siddim was full of slimepits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there; and they that remained fled to the mountain.
וַיֵּצֵא מֶֽלֶךְ-סְדֹם לִקְרָאתוֹ אַֽחֲרֵי שׁוּבוֹ מֵֽהַכּוֹת אֶת-כְּדָרְלָעֹמֶר וְאֶת-הַמְּלָכִים אֲשֶׁר אִתּוֹ אֶל-עֵמֶק שָׁוֵה הוּא עֵמֶק הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃
And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that were with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which is the king's dale.
וְהַמִּצְפָּה אֲשֶׁר אָמַר יִצֶף יְהוָה בֵּינִי וּבֵינֶךָ כִּי נִסָּתֵר אִישׁ מֵֽרֵעֵֽהוּ׃
And Mizpah; for he said, The LORD watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another.
וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ לֶךְ-נָא רְאֵה אֶת-שְׁלוֹם אַחֶיךָ וְאֶת-שְׁלוֹם הַצֹּאן וַֽהֲשִׁבֵנִי דָּבָר וַיִּשְׁלָחֵהוּ מֵעֵמֶק חֶבְרוֹן וַיָּבֹא שְׁכֶֽמָה׃
And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, see whether it be well with thy brethren, and well with the flocks; and bring me word again. So he sent him out of the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
וְהָֽעֲמָלֵקִי וְהַֽכְּנַעֲנִי יוֹשֵׁב בָּעֵמֶק מָחָר פְּנוּ וּסְעוּ לָכֶם הַמִּדְבָּר דֶּרֶךְ יַם-סֽוּף׃
(Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley.) To morrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
וַיִּקַּח יְהוֹשֻׁעַ אֶת-עָכָן בֶּן-זֶרַח וְאֶת-הַכֶּסֶף וְאֶת-הָֽאַדֶּרֶת וְֽאֶת-לְשׁוֹן הַזָּהָב וְֽאֶת-בָּנָיו וְֽאֶת-בְּנֹתָיו וְאֶת-שׁוֹרוֹ וְאֶת-חֲמֹרוֹ וְאֶת-צֹאנוֹ וְאֶֽת-אָהֳלוֹ וְאֶת-כָּל-אֲשֶׁר-לוֹ וְכָל-יִשְׂרָאֵל עִמּוֹ וַיַּֽעֲלוּ אֹתָם עֵמֶק עָכֽוֹר׃
And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the garment, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had: and they brought them unto the valley of Achor.
וַיָּקִימוּ עָלָיו גַּל-אֲבָנִים גָּדוֹל עַד הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה וַיָּשָׁב יְהוָה מֵֽחֲרוֹן אַפּוֹ עַל-כֵּן קָרָא שֵׁם הַמָּקוֹם הַהוּא עֵמֶק עָכוֹר עַד הַיּוֹם הַזֶּֽה׃
And they raised over him a great heap of stones unto this day. So the LORD turned from the fierceness of his anger. Wherefore the name of that place was called, The valley of Achor, unto this day.
וַיָּשִׂימוּ הָעָם אֶת-כָּל-הַֽמַּחֲנֶה אֲשֶׁר מִצְּפוֹן לָעִיר וְאֶת-עֲקֵבוֹ מִיָּם לָעִיר וַיֵּלֶךְ יְהוֹשֻׁעַ בַּלַּיְלָה הַהוּא בְּתוֹךְ הָעֵֽמֶק׃
And when they had set the people, even all the host that was on the north of the city, and their liers in wait on the west of the city, Joshua went that night into the midst of the valley.
אָז יְדַבֵּר יְהוֹשֻׁעַ לַֽיהוָה בְּיוֹם תֵּת יְהוָה אֶת-הָאֱמֹרִי לִפְנֵי בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיֹּאמֶר׀ לְעֵינֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל שֶׁמֶשׁ בְּגִבְעוֹן דּוֹם וְיָרֵחַ בְּעֵמֶק אַיָּלֽוֹן׃
Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.
הַֽכְּנַעֲנִי מִמִּזְרָח וּמִיָּם וְהָֽאֱמֹרִי וְהַֽחִתִּי וְהַפְּרִזִּי וְהַיְבוּסִי בָּהָר וְהַֽחִוִּי תַּחַת חֶרְמוֹן בְּאֶרֶץ הַמִּצְפָּֽה׃
And to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and to the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the mountains, and to the Hivite under Hermon in the land of Mizpeh.
וְקִרְיָתַיִם וְשִׂבְמָה וְצֶרֶת הַשַּׁחַר בְּהַר הָעֵֽמֶק׃
And Kirjathaim, and Sibmah, and Zareth-shahar in the mount of the valley,
וּבָעֵמֶק בֵּית הָרָם וּבֵית נִמְרָה וְסֻכּוֹת וְצָפוֹן יֶתֶר מַמְלְכוּת סִיחוֹן מֶלֶךְ חֶשְׁבּוֹן הַיַּרְדֵּן וּגְבֻל עַד-קְצֵה יָם-כִּנֶּרֶת עֵבֶר הַיַּרְדֵּן מִזְרָֽחָה׃
And in the valley, Beth-aram, and Beth-nimrah, and Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, Jordan and his border, even unto the edge of the sea of Chinnereth on the other side Jordan eastward.
וְעָלָה הַגְּבוּל׀ דְּבִרָה מֵעֵמֶק עָכוֹר וְצָפוֹנָה פֹּנֶה אֶל-הַגִּלְגָּל אֲשֶׁר-נֹכַח לְמַֽעֲלֵה אֲדֻמִּים אֲשֶׁר מִנֶּגֶב לַנָּחַל וְעָבַר הַגְּבוּל אֶל-מֵי-עֵין שֶׁמֶשׁ וְהָיוּ תֹֽצְאֹתָיו אֶל-עֵין רֹגֵֽל׃
And the border went up toward Debir from the valley of Achor, and so northward, looking toward Gilgal, that is before the going up to Adummim, which is on the south side of the river: and the border passed toward the waters of En-shemesh, and the goings out thereof were at En-rogel:
וְעָלָה הַגְּבוּל גֵּי בֶן-הִנֹּם אֶל-כֶּתֶף הַיְבוּסִי מִנֶּגֶב הִיא יְרֽוּשָׁלִָם וְעָלָה הַגְּבוּל אֶל-רֹאשׁ הָהָר אֲשֶׁר עַל-פְּנֵי גֵֽי-הִנֹּם יָמָּה אֲשֶׁר בִּקְצֵה עֵֽמֶק-רְפָאִים צָפֽוֹנָה׃
And the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom unto the south side of the Jebusite; the same is Jerusalem: and the border went up to the top of the mountain that lieth before the valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the end of the valley of the giants northward:
וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ בְּנֵי יוֹסֵף לֹֽא-יִמָּצֵא לָנוּ הָהָר וְרֶכֶב בַּרְזֶל בְּכָל-הַֽכְּנַעֲנִי הַיֹּשֵׁב בְּאֶֽרֶץ-הָעֵמֶק לַֽאֲשֶׁר בְּבֵית-שְׁאָן וּבְנוֹתֶיהָ וְלַֽאֲשֶׁר בְּעֵמֶק יִזְרְעֶֽאל׃
And the children of Joseph said, The hill is not enough for us: and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both they who are of Beth-shean and her towns, and they who are of the valley of Jezreel.
וְיָרַד הַגְּבוּל אֶל-קְצֵה הָהָר אֲשֶׁר עַל-פְּנֵי גֵּי בֶן-הִנֹּם אֲשֶׁר בְּעֵמֶק רְפָאִים צָפוֹנָה וְיָרַד גֵּי הִנֹּם אֶל-כֶּתֶף הַיְבוּסִי נֶגְבָּה וְיָרַד עֵין רֹגֵֽל׃
And the border came down to the end of the mountain that lieth before the valley of the son of Hinnom, and which is in the valley of the giants on the north, and descended to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of Jebusi on the south, and descended to En-rogel,
וְהָיוּ הֶֽעָרִים לְמַטֵּה בְּנֵי בִנְיָמִן לְמִשְׁפְּחֽוֹתֵיהֶם יְרִיחוֹ וּבֵית-חָגְלָה וְעֵמֶק קְצִֽיץ׃
Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho, and Beth-hoglah, and the valley of Keziz,
וַיְהִי יְהוָה אֶת-יְהוּדָה וַיֹּרֶשׁ אֶת-הָהָר כִּי לֹא לְהוֹרִישׁ אֶת-יֹֽשְׁבֵי הָעֵמֶק כִּי-רֶכֶב בַּרְזֶל לָהֶֽם׃
And the LORD was with Judah; and he drave out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.
וַיִּלְחֲצוּ הָֽאֱמֹרִי אֶת-בְּנֵי-דָן הָהָרָה כִּי-לֹא נְתָנוֹ לָרֶדֶת לָעֵֽמֶק׃
And the Amorites forced the children of Dan into the mountain: for they would not suffer them to come down to the valley:
וְשָׂרַי בְּיִשָּׂשכָר עִם-דְּבֹרָה וְיִשָּׂשכָר כֵּן בָּרָק בָּעֵמֶק שֻׁלַּח בְּרַגְלָיו בִּפְלַגּוֹת רְאוּבֵן גְּדֹלִים חִקְקֵי-לֵֽב׃
And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah; even Issachar, and also Barak: he was sent on foot into the valley. For the divisions of Reuben there were great thoughts of heart.
וְכָל-מִדְיָן וַֽעֲמָלֵק וּבְנֵי-קֶדֶם נֶֽאֶסְפוּ יַחְדָּו וַיַּֽעַבְרוּ וַֽיַּחֲנוּ בְּעֵמֶק יִזְרְעֶֽאל׃
Then all the Midianites and the Amalekites and the children of the east were gathered together, and went over, and pitched in the valley of Jezreel.
וַיַּשְׁכֵּם יְרֻבַּעַל הוּא גִדְעוֹן וְכָל-הָעָם אֲשֶׁר אִתּוֹ וַֽיַּחֲנוּ עַל-עֵין חֲרֹד וּמַֽחֲנֵה מִדְיָן הָֽיָה-לוֹ מִצָּפוֹן מִגִּבְעַת הַמּוֹרֶה בָּעֵֽמֶק׃
Then Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, and all the people that were with him, rose up early, and pitched beside the well of Harod: so that the host of the Midianites were on the north side of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley.
וַיִּקְחוּ אֶת-צֵדָה הָעָם בְּיָדָם וְאֵת שׁוֹפְרֹֽתֵיהֶם וְאֵת כָּל-אִישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל שִׁלַּח אִישׁ לְאֹֽהָלָיו וּבִשְׁלֹשׁ-מֵאוֹת הָאִישׁ הֶֽחֱזִיק וּמַֽחֲנֵה מִדְיָן הָיָה לוֹ מִתַּחַת בָּעֵֽמֶק׃
So the people took victuals in their hand, and their trumpets: and he sent all the rest of Israel every man unto his tent, and retained those three hundred men: and the host of Midian was beneath him in the valley.
וּמִדְיָן וַֽעֲמָלֵק וְכָל-בְּנֵי-קֶדֶם נֹֽפְלִים בָּעֵמֶק כָּֽאַרְבֶּה לָרֹב וְלִגְמַלֵּיהֶם אֵין מִסְפָּר כַּחוֹל שֶֽׁעַל-שְׂפַת הַיָּם לָרֹֽב׃
And the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like grasshoppers for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand by the sea side for multitude.
וַיִּצָּֽעֲקוּ בְּנֵי עַמּוֹן וַֽיַּחֲנוּ בַּגִּלְעָד וַיֵּאָֽסְפוּ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַֽיַּחֲנוּ בַּמִּצְפָּֽה׃
Then the children of Ammon were gathered together, and encamped in Gilead. And the children of Israel assembled themselves together, and encamped in Mizpeh.
וַיֵּלֶךְ יִפְתָּח עִם-זִקְנֵי גִלְעָד וַיָּשִׂימוּ הָעָם אוֹתוֹ עֲלֵיהֶם לְרֹאשׁ וּלְקָצִין וַיְדַבֵּר יִפְתָּח אֶת-כָּל-דְּבָרָיו לִפְנֵי יְהוָה בַּמִּצְפָּֽה׃
Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and captain over them: and Jephthah uttered all his words before the LORD in Mizpeh.
וַיָּבֹא יִפְתָּח הַמִּצְפָּה אֶל-בֵּיתוֹ וְהִנֵּה בִתּוֹ יֹצֵאת לִקְרָאתוֹ בְתֻפִּים וּבִמְחֹלוֹת וְרַק הִיא יְחִידָה אֵֽין-לוֹ מִמֶּנּוּ בֵּן אוֹ-בַֽת׃
And Jephthah came to Mizpeh unto his house, and, behold, his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances: and she was his only child; beside her he had neither son nor daughter.
וְאֵין מַצִּיל כִּי רְֽחוֹקָה-הִיא מִצִּידוֹן וְדָבָר אֵין-לָהֶם עִם-אָדָם וְהִיא בָּעֵמֶק אֲשֶׁר לְבֵית-רְחוֹב וַיִּבְנוּ אֶת-הָעִיר וַיֵּשְׁבוּ בָֽהּ׃
And there was no deliverer, because it was far from Zidon, and they had no business with any man; and it was in the valley that lieth by Beth-rehob. And they built a city, and dwelt therein.
וַיֵּֽצְאוּ כָּל-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַתִּקָּהֵל הָֽעֵדָה כְּאִישׁ אֶחָד לְמִדָּן וְעַד-בְּאֵר שֶׁבַע וְאֶרֶץ הַגִּלְעָד אֶל-יְהוָה הַמִּצְפָּֽה׃
Then all the children of Israel went out, and the congregation was gathered together as one man, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, with the land of Gilead, unto the LORD in Mizpeh.
וַֽיִּשְׁמְעוּ בְּנֵי בִנְיָמִן כִּֽי-עָלוּ בְנֵֽי-יִשְׂרָאֵל הַמִּצְפָּה וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל דַּבְּרוּ אֵיכָה נִֽהְיְתָה הָֽרָעָה הַזֹּֽאת׃
(Now the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel were gone up to Mizpeh.) Then said the children of Israel, Tell us, how was this wickedness?
וְאִישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל נִשְׁבַּע בַּמִּצְפָּה לֵאמֹר אִישׁ מִמֶּנּוּ לֹֽא-יִתֵּן בִּתּוֹ לְבִנְיָמִן לְאִשָּֽׁה׃
Now the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpeh, saying, There shall not any of us give his daughter unto Benjamin to wife.
וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל מִי אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא-עָלָה בַקָּהָל מִכָּל-שִׁבְטֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל-יְהוָה כִּי הַשְּׁבוּעָה הַגְּדוֹלָה הָֽיְתָה לַֽאֲשֶׁר לֹֽא-עָלָה אֶל-יְהוָה הַמִּצְפָּה לֵאמֹר מוֹת יוּמָֽת׃
And the children of Israel said, Who is there among all the tribes of Israel that came up not with the congregation unto the LORD? For they had made a great oath concerning him that came up not to the LORD to Mizpeh, saying, He shall surely be put to death.
וַיֹּאמְרוּ מִי אֶחָד מִשִּׁבְטֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא-עָלָה אֶל-יְהוָה הַמִּצְפָּה וְהִנֵּה לֹא בָא-אִישׁ אֶל-הַֽמַּחֲנֶה מִיָּבֵישׁ גִּלְעָד אֶל-הַקָּהָֽל׃
And they said, What one is there of the tribes of Israel that came not up to Mizpeh to the LORD? And, behold, there came none to the camp from Jabesh-gilead to the assembly.
וּבֵית שֶׁמֶשׁ קֹֽצְרִים קְצִיר-חִטִּים בָּעֵמֶק וַיִּשְׂאוּ אֶת-עֵֽינֵיהֶם וַיִּרְאוּ אֶת-הָאָרוֹן וַֽיִּשְׂמְחוּ לִרְאֽוֹת׃
And they of Beth-shemesh were reaping their wheat harvest in the valley: and they lifted up their eyes, and saw the ark, and rejoiced to see it.
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.
וַיִּשְׁמְעוּ פְלִשְׁתִּים כִּֽי-הִתְקַבְּצוּ בְנֵֽי-יִשְׂרָאֵל הַמִּצְפָּתָה וַיַּֽעֲלוּ סַרְנֵֽי-פְלִשְׁתִּים אֶל-יִשְׂרָאֵל וַֽיִּשְׁמְעוּ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיִּֽרְאוּ מִפְּנֵי פְלִשְׁתִּֽים׃
And when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together to Mizpeh, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard it, they were afraid of the Philistines.
וַיֵּצְאוּ אַנְשֵׁי יִשְׂרָאֵל מִן-הַמִּצְפָּה וַֽיִּרְדְּפוּ אֶת-פְּלִשְׁתִּים וַיַּכּוּם עַד-מִתַּחַת לְבֵית כָּֽר׃
And the men of Israel went out of Mizpeh, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, until they came under Beth-car.
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.
וְהָלַךְ מִדֵּי שָׁנָה בְּשָׁנָה וְסָבַב בֵּֽית-אֵל וְהַגִּלְגָּל וְהַמִּצְפָּה וְשָׁפַט אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵל אֵת כָּל-הַמְּקוֹמוֹת הָאֵֽלֶּה׃
And he went from year to year in circuit to Beth-el, and Gilgal, and Mizpeh, and judged Israel in all those places.
וַיַּצְעֵק שְׁמוּאֵל אֶת-הָעָם אֶל-יְהוָה הַמִּצְפָּֽה׃
And Samuel called the people together unto the LORD to Mizpeh;
וְשָׁאוּל וְאִֽישׁ-יִשְׂרָאֵל נֶֽאֶסְפוּ וַֽיַּחֲנוּ בְּעֵמֶק הָֽאֵלָה וַיַּֽעַרְכוּ מִלְחָמָה לִקְרַאת פְּלִשְׁתִּֽים׃
And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and pitched by the valley of Elah, and set the battle in array against the Philistines.
וְשָׁאוּל וְהֵמָּה וְכָל-אִישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּעֵמֶק הָֽאֵלָה נִלְחָמִים עִם-פְּלִשְׁתִּֽים׃
Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, were in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.
וַיֹּאמֶר הַכֹּהֵן חֶרֶב גָּלְיָת הַפְּלִשְׁתִּי אֲשֶׁר-הִכִּיתָ׀ בְּעֵמֶק הָֽאֵלָה הִנֵּה-הִיא לוּטָה בַשִּׂמְלָה אַֽחֲרֵי הָֽאֵפוֹד אִם-אֹתָהּ תִּֽקַּח-לְךָ קָח כִּי אֵין אַחֶרֶת זֽוּלָתָהּ בָּזֶה וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִד אֵין כָּמוֹהָ תְּנֶנָּה לִּֽי׃
And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom thou slewest in the valley of Elah, behold, it is here wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod: if thou wilt take that, take it: for there is no other save that here. And David said, There is none like that; give it me.
וַיִּרְאוּ אַנְשֵֽׁי-יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר-בְּעֵבֶר הָעֵמֶק וַֽאֲשֶׁר׀ בְּעֵבֶר הַיַּרְדֵּן כִּֽי-נָסוּ אַנְשֵׁי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְכִי-מֵתוּ שָׁאוּל וּבָנָיו וַיַּֽעַזְבוּ אֶת-הֶֽעָרִים וַיָּנֻסוּ וַיָּבֹאוּ פְלִשְׁתִּים וַיֵּֽשְׁבוּ בָּהֶֽן׃
And when the men of Israel that were on the other side of the valley, and they that were on the other side Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook the cities, and fled; and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.
וּפְלִשְׁתִּים בָּאוּ וַיִּנָּֽטְשׁוּ בְּעֵמֶק רְפָאִֽים׃
The Philistines also came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
וַיֹּסִפוּ עוֹד פְּלִשְׁתִּים לַֽעֲלוֹת וַיִּנָּֽטְשׁוּ בְּעֵמֶק רְפָאִֽים׃
And the Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
וְאַבְשָׁלֹם לָקַח וַיַּצֶּב-לוֹ (בחיו) בְחַיָּיו אֶת-מַצֶּבֶת אֲשֶׁר בְּעֵֽמֶק-הַמֶּלֶךְ כִּי אָמַר אֵֽין-לִי בֵן בַּֽעֲבוּר הַזְכִּיר שְׁמִי וַיִּקְרָא לַמַּצֶּבֶת עַל-שְׁמוֹ וַיִּקָּרֵא לָהּ יַד אַבְשָׁלוֹם עַד הַיּוֹם הַזֶּֽה׃
Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and reared up for himself a pillar, which is in the king's dale: for he said, I have no son to keep my name in remembrance: and he called the pillar after his own name: and it is called unto this day, Absalom's place.
וַיֵּֽרְדוּ (שלשים) שְׁלֹשָׁה מֵֽהַשְּׁלֹשִׁים רֹאשׁ וַיָּבֹאוּ אֶל-קָצִיר אֶל-דָּוִד אֶל-מְעָרַת עֲדֻלָּם וְחַיַּת פְּלִשְׁתִּים חֹנָה בְּעֵמֶק רְפָאִֽים׃
And three of the thirty chief went down, and came to David in the harvest time unto the cave of Adullam: and the troop of the Philistines pitched in the valley of Rephaim.
וְהַמֶּלֶךְ אָסָא הִשְׁמִיעַ אֶת-כָּל-יְהוּדָה אֵין נָקִי וַיִּשְׂאוּ אֶת-אַבְנֵי הָֽרָמָה וְאֶת-עֵצֶיהָ אֲשֶׁר בָּנָה בַּעְשָׁא וַיִּבֶן בָּם הַמֶּלֶךְ אָסָא אֶת-גֶּבַע בִּנְיָמִן וְאֶת-הַמִּצְפָּֽה׃
Then king Asa made a proclamation throughout all Judah; none was exempted: and they took away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasha had builded; and king Asa built with them Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.
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.
וַיִּשְׁמְעוּ כָל-שָׂרֵי הַֽחֲיָלִים הֵמָּה וְהָֽאֲנָשִׁים כִּֽי-הִפְקִיד מֶֽלֶךְ-בָּבֶל אֶת-גְּדַלְיָהוּ וַיָּבֹאוּ אֶל-גְּדַלְיָהוּ הַמִּצְפָּה וְיִשְׁמָעֵאל בֶּן-נְתַנְיָה וְיֽוֹחָנָן בֶּן-קָרֵחַ וּשְׂרָיָה בֶן-תַּנְחֻמֶת הַנְּטֹֽפָתִי וְיַֽאֲזַנְיָהוּ בֶּן-הַמַּעֲכָתִי הֵמָּה וְאַנְשֵׁיהֶֽם׃
And when all the captains of the armies, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, there came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan the son of Careah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of a Maachathite, they and their men.
וַיְהִי׀ בַּחֹדֶשׁ הַשְּׁבִיעִי בָּא יִשְׁמָעֵאל בֶּן-נְתַנְיָה בֶּן-אֱלִישָׁמָע מִזֶּרַע הַמְּלוּכָה וַֽעֲשָׂרָה אֲנָשִׁים אִתּוֹ וַיַּכּוּ אֶת-גְּדַלְיָהוּ וַיָּמֹת וְאֶת-הַיְּהוּדִים וְאֶת-הַכַּשְׂדִּים אֲשֶׁר-הָיוּ אִתּוֹ בַּמִּצְפָּֽה׃
But it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, came, and ten men with him, and smote Gedaliah, that he died, and the Jews and the Chaldees that were with him at Mizpah.
וַיִּרְאוּ כָּל-אִישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר-בָּעֵמֶק כִּי נָסוּ וְכִי-מֵתוּ שָׁאוּל וּבָנָיו וַיַּֽעַזְבוּ עָֽרֵיהֶם וַיָּנֻסוּ וַיָּבֹאוּ פְלִשְׁתִּים וַיֵּֽשְׁבוּ בָּהֶֽם׃
And when all the men of Israel that were in the valley saw that they fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, then they forsook their cities, and fled: and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.
וַיֵּֽרְדוּ שְֽׁלוֹשָׁה מִן-הַשְּׁלוֹשִׁים רֹאשׁ עַל-הַצֻּר אֶל-דָּוִיד אֶל-מְעָרַת עֲדֻלָּם וּמַֽחֲנֵה פְלִשְׁתִּים חֹנָה בְּעֵמֶק רְפָאִֽים׃
Now three of the thirty captains went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam; and the host of the Philistines encamped in the valley of Rephaim.
אֵלֶּה הֵם אֲשֶׁר עָֽבְרוּ אֶת-הַיַּרְדֵּן בַּחֹדֶשׁ הָֽרִאשׁוֹן וְהוּא מְמַלֵּא עַל-כָּל-(גדיתיו) גְּדוֹתָיו וַיַּבְרִיחוּ אֶת-כָּל-הָעֲמָקִים לַמִּזְרָח וְלַֽמַּעֲרָֽב׃
These are they that went over Jordan in the first month, when it had overflown all his banks; and they put to flight all them of the valleys, both toward the east, and toward the west.
וּפְלִשְׁתִּים בָּאוּ וַֽיִּפְשְׁטוּ בְּעֵמֶק רְפָאִֽים׃
And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
וַיֹּסִיפוּ עוֹד פְּלִשְׁתִּים וַֽיִּפְשְׁטוּ בָּעֵֽמֶק׃
And the Philistines yet again spread themselves abroad in the valley.
וְעַל-הַבָּקָר הָֽרֹעִים בַּשָּׁרוֹן (שטרי) שִׁרְטַי הַשָּֽׁרוֹנִי וְעַל-הַבָּקָר בָּֽעֲמָקִים שָׁפָט בֶּן-עַדְלָֽי׃
And over the herds that fed in Sharon was Shitrai the Sharonite: and over the herds that were in the valleys was Shaphat the son of Adlai:
וְאָסָא הַמֶּלֶךְ לָקַח אֶת-כָּל-יְהוּדָה וַיִּשְׂאוּ אֶת-אַבְנֵי הָֽרָמָה וְאֶת-עֵצֶיהָ אֲשֶׁר בָּנָה בַּעְשָׁא וַיִּבֶן בָּהֶם אֶת-גֶּבַע וְאֶת-הַמִּצְפָּֽה׃
Then Asa the king took all Judah; and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasha was building; and he built therewith Geba and Mizpah.
וּבַיּוֹם הָֽרְבִעִי נִקְהֲלוּ לְעֵמֶק בְּרָכָה כִּי-שָׁם בֵּרֲכוּ אֶת-יְהוָה עַל-כֵּן קָֽרְאוּ אֶת-שֵׁם הַמָּקוֹם הַהוּא עֵמֶק בְּרָכָה עַד-הַיּֽוֹם׃
And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of Berachah; for there they blessed the LORD: therefore the name of the same place was called, The valley of Berachah, unto this day.
וְעַל-יָדָם הֶֽחֱזִיק מְלַטְיָה הַגִּבְעֹנִי וְיָדוֹן הַמֵּרֹנֹתִי אַנְשֵׁי גִבְעוֹן וְהַמִּצְפָּה לְכִסֵּא פַּחַת עֵבֶר הַנָּהָֽר׃
And next unto them repaired Melatiah the Gibeonite, and Jadon the Meronothite, the men of Gibeon, and of Mizpah, unto the throne of the governor on this side the river.
וְאֵת שַׁעַר הָעַיִן הֶֽחֱזִיק שַׁלּוּן בֶּן-כָּל-חֹזֶה שַׂר פֶּלֶךְ הַמִּצְפָּה הוּא יִבְנֶנּוּ וִיטַֽלְלֶנּוּ (ויעמידו) וְיַעֲמִיד דַּלְתֹתָיו מַנְעֻלָיו וּבְרִיחָיו וְאֵת חוֹמַת בְּרֵכַת הַשֶּׁלַח לְגַן-הַמֶּלֶךְ וְעַד-הַֽמַּעֲלוֹת הַיּֽוֹרְדוֹת מֵעִיר דָּוִֽיד׃
But the gate of the fountain repaired Shallun the son of Col-hozeh, the ruler of part of Mizpah; he built it, and covered it, and set up the doors thereof, the locks thereof, and the bars thereof, and the wall of the pool of Siloah by the king's garden, and unto the stairs that go down from the city of David.
וַיְחַזֵּק עַל-יָדוֹ עֵזֶר בֶּן-יֵשׁוּעַ שַׂר הַמִּצְפָּה מִדָּה שֵׁנִית מִנֶּגֶד עֲלֹת הַנֶּשֶׁק הַמִּקְצֹֽעַ׃
And next to him repaired Ezer the son of Jeshua, the ruler of Mizpah, another piece over against the going up to the armoury at the turning of the wall.
הֲֽתִקְשָׁר-רֵים בְּתֶלֶם עֲבֹתוֹ אִם-יְשַׂדֵּד עֲמָקִים אַחֲרֶֽיךָ׃
Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee?
יַחְפְּרוּ בָעֵמֶק וְיָשִׂישׂ בְּכֹחַ יֵצֵא לִקְרַאת-נָֽשֶׁק׃
He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: he goeth on to meet the armed men.
אֱלֹהִים׀ דִּבֶּר בְּקָדְשׁוֹ אֶעְלֹזָה אֲחַלְּקָה שְׁכֶם וְעֵמֶק סֻכּוֹת אֲמַדֵּֽד׃
God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
לָבְשׁוּ כָרִים׀ הַצֹּאן וַעֲמָקִים יַֽעַטְפוּ-בָר יִתְרוֹעֲעוּ אַף-יָשִֽׁירוּ׃
The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.
עֹבְרֵי׀ בְּעֵמֶק הַבָּכָא מַעְיָן יְשִׁיתוּהוּ גַּם-בְּרָכוֹת יַעְטֶה מוֹרֶֽה׃
Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.
אֱלֹהִים׀ דִּבֶּר בְּקָדְשׁוֹ אֶעְלֹזָה אֲחַלְּקָה שְׁכֶם וְעֵמֶק סֻכּוֹת אֲמַדֵּֽד׃
God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
אֲנִי חֲבַצֶּלֶת הַשָּׁרוֹן שֽׁוֹשַׁנַּת הָעֲמָקִֽים׃
I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.
וְהָיָה כֶּֽאֱסֹף קָצִיר קָמָה וּזְרֹעוֹ שִׁבֳּלִים יִקְצוֹר וְהָיָה כִּמְלַקֵּט שִׁבֳּלִים בְּעֵמֶק רְפָאִֽים׃
And it shall be as when the harvestman gathereth the corn, and reapeth the ears with his arm; and it shall be as he that gathereth ears in the valley of Rephaim.
וַיְהִי מִבְחַר-עֲמָקַיִךְ מָלְאוּ רָכֶב וְהַפָּרָשִׁים שֹׁת שָׁתוּ הַשָּֽׁעְרָה׃
And it shall come to pass, that thy choicest valleys shall be full of chariots, and the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate.
כִּי כְהַר-פְּרָצִים יָקוּם יְהוָה כְּעֵמֶק בְּגִבְעוֹן יִרְגָּז לַעֲשׂוֹת מַעֲשֵׂהוּ זָר מַעֲשֵׂהוּ וְלַֽעֲבֹד עֲבֹדָתוֹ נָכְרִיָּה עֲבֹדָתֽוֹ׃
For the LORD shall rise up as in mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act.
וְהָיָה הַשָּׁרוֹן לִנְוֵה-צֹאן וְעֵמֶק עָכוֹר לְרֵבֶץ בָּקָר לְעַמִּי אֲשֶׁר דְּרָשֽׁוּנִי׃
And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for the herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought me.
הִנְנִי אֵלַיִךְ יֹשֶׁבֶת הָעֵמֶק צוּר הַמִּישֹׁר נְאֻם-יְהוָה הָאֹֽמְרִים מִֽי-יֵחַת עָלֵינוּ וּמִי יָבוֹא בִּמְעוֹנוֹתֵֽינוּ׃
Behold, I am against thee, O inhabitant of the valley, and rock of the plain, saith the LORD; which say, Who shall come down against us? or who shall enter into our habitations?
וְכָל-הָעֵמֶק הַפְּגָרִים׀ וְהַדֶּשֶׁן וְכָֽל-(השרמות) הַשְּׁדֵמוֹת עַד-נַחַל קִדְרוֹן עַד-פִּנַּת שַׁעַר הַסּוּסִים מִזְרָחָה קֹדֶשׁ לַֽיהוָה לֹֽא-יִנָּתֵשׁ וְֽלֹא-יֵהָרֵס עוֹד לְעוֹלָֽם׃
And the whole valley of the dead bodies, and of the ashes, and all the fields unto the brook of Kidron, unto the corner of the horse gate toward the east, shall be holy unto the LORD; it shall not be plucked up, nor thrown down any more for ever.
וַאֲנִי הִנְנִי יֹשֵׁב בַּמִּצְפָּה לַֽעֲמֹד לִפְנֵי הַכַּשְׂדִּים אֲשֶׁר יָבֹאוּ אֵלֵינוּ וְאַתֶּם אִסְפוּ יַיִן וְקַיִץ וְשֶׁמֶן וְשִׂמוּ בִּכְלֵיכֶם וּשְׁבוּ בְּעָרֵיכֶם אֲשֶׁר-תְּפַשְׂתֶּֽם׃
As for me, behold, I will dwell at Mizpah to serve the Chaldeans, which will come unto us: but ye, gather ye wine, and summer fruits, and oil, and put them in your vessels, and dwell in your cities that ye have taken.
וְיוֹחָנָן בֶּן-קָרֵחַ אָמַר אֶל-גְּדַלְיָהוּ בַסֵּתֶר בַּמִּצְפָּה לֵאמֹר אֵלְכָה נָּא וְאַכֶּה אֶת-יִשְׁמָעֵאל בֶּן-נְתַנְיָה וְאִישׁ לֹא יֵדָע לָמָּה יַכֶּכָּה נֶּפֶשׁ וְנָפֹצוּ כָּל-יְהוּדָה הַנִּקְבָּצִים אֵלֶיךָ וְאָבְדָה שְׁאֵרִית יְהוּדָֽה׃
Then Johanan the son of Kareah spake to Gedaliah in Mizpah secretly, saying, Let me go, I pray thee, and I will slay Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and no man shall know it: wherefore should he slay thee, that all the Jews which are gathered unto thee should be scattered, and the remnant in Judah perish?
וַיְהִי׀ בַּחֹדֶשׁ הַשְּׁבִיעִי בָּא יִשְׁמָעֵאל בֶּן-נְתַנְיָה בֶן-אֱלִישָׁמָע מִזֶּרַע הַמְּלוּכָה וְרַבֵּי הַמֶּלֶךְ וַעֲשָׂרָה אֲנָשִׁים אִתּוֹ אֶל-גְּדַלְיָהוּ בֶן-אֲחִיקָם הַמִּצְפָּתָה וַיֹּאכְלוּ שָׁם לֶחֶם יַחְדָּו בַּמִּצְפָּֽה׃
Now it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, and the princes of the king, even ten men with him, came unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and there they did eat bread together in Mizpah.
וְאֵת כָּל-הַיְּהוּדִים אֲשֶׁר-הָיוּ אִתּוֹ אֶת-גְּדַלְיָהוּ בַּמִּצְפָּה וְאֶת-הַכַּשְׂדִּים אֲשֶׁר נִמְצְאוּ-שָׁם אֵת אַנְשֵׁי הַמִּלְחָמָה הִכָּה יִשְׁמָעֵֽאל׃
Ishmael also slew all the Jews that were with him, even with Gedaliah, at Mizpah, and the Chaldeans that were found there, and the men of war.
וַיֵּצֵא יִשְׁמָעֵאל בֶּן-נְתַנְיָה לִקְרָאתָם מִן-הַמִּצְפָּה הֹלֵךְ הָלֹךְ וּבֹכֶה וַֽיְהִי כִּפְגֹשׁ אֹתָם וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם בֹּאוּ אֶל-גְּדַלְיָהוּ בֶן-אֲחִיקָֽם׃
And Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went forth from Mizpah to meet them, weeping all along as he went: and it came to pass, as he met them, he said unto them, Come to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam.
וַיִּשְׁבְּ׀ יִשְׁמָעֵאל אֶת-כָּל-שְׁאֵרִית הָעָם אֲשֶׁר בַּמִּצְפָּה אֶת-בְּנוֹת הַמֶּלֶךְ וְאֶת-כָּל-הָעָם הַנִּשְׁאָרִים בַּמִּצְפָּה אֲשֶׁר הִפְקִיד נְבֽוּזַרְאֲדָן רַב-טַבָּחִים אֶת-גְּדַלְיָהוּ בֶּן-אֲחִיקָם וַיִּשְׁבֵּם יִשְׁמָעֵאל בֶּן-נְתַנְיָה וַיֵּלֶךְ לַעֲבֹר אֶל-בְּנֵי עַמּֽוֹן׃
Then Ishmael carried away captive all the residue of the people that were in Mizpah, even the king's daughters, and all the people that remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard had committed to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam: and Ishmael the son of Nethaniah carried them away captive, and departed to go over to the Ammonites.
וַיָּסֹבּוּ כָּל-הָעָם אֲשֶׁר-שָׁבָה יִשְׁמָעֵאל מִן-הַמִּצְפָּה וַיָּשֻׁבוּ וַיֵּלְכוּ אֶל-יֽוֹחָנָן בֶּן-קָרֵֽחַ׃
So all the people that Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah cast about and returned, and went unto Johanan the son of Kareah.
וַיִּקַּח יוֹחָנָן בֶּן-קָרֵחַ וְכָל-שָׂרֵי הַחֲיָלִים אֲשֶׁר-אִתּוֹ אֵת כָּל-שְׁאֵרִית הָעָם אֲשֶׁר הֵשִׁיב מֵאֵת יִשְׁמָעֵאל בֶּן-נְתַנְיָה מִן-הַמִּצְפָּה אַחַר הִכָּה אֶת-גְּדַלְיָה בֶּן-אֲחִיקָם גְּבָרִים אַנְשֵׁי הַמִּלְחָמָה וְנָשִׁים וְטַף וְסָרִסִים אֲשֶׁר הֵשִׁיב מִגִּבְעֽוֹן׃
Then took Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, all the remnant of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, from Mizpah, after that he had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, even mighty men of war, and the women, and the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought again from Gibeon:
בָּאָה קָרְחָה אֶל-עַזָּה נִדְמְתָה אַשְׁקְלוֹן שְׁאֵרִית עִמְקָם עַד-מָתַי תִּתְגּוֹדָֽדִי׃
Baldness is come upon Gaza; Ashkelon is cut off with the remnant of their valley: how long wilt thou cut thyself?
וְיָבֹא שֹׁדֵד אֶל-כָּל-עִיר וְעִיר לֹא תִמָּלֵט וְאָבַד הָעֵמֶק וְנִשְׁמַד הַמִּישֹׁר אֲשֶׁר אָמַר יְהוָֽה׃
And the spoiler shall come upon every city, and no city shall escape: the valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed, as the LORD hath spoken.
מַה-תִּתְהַֽלְלִי בָּֽעֲמָקִים זָב עִמְקֵךְ הַבַּת הַשּֽׁוֹבֵבָה הַבֹּֽטְחָה בְּאֹצְרֹתֶיהָ מִי יָבוֹא אֵלָֽי׃
Wherefore gloriest thou in the valleys, thy flowing valley, O backsliding daughter? that trusted in her treasures, saying, Who shall come unto me?
וְהָיָה בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא וְשָֽׁבַרְתִּי אֶת-קֶשֶׁת יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּעֵמֶק יִזְרְעֶֽאל׃
And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.
וְנָתַתִּי לָהּ אֶת-כְּרָמֶיהָ מִשָּׁם וְאֶת-עֵמֶק עָכוֹר לְפֶתַח תִּקְוָה וְעָנְתָה שָּׁמָּה כִּימֵי נְעוּרֶיהָ וִּכְיוֹם עֲלוֹתָהּ מֵאֶֽרֶץ-מִצְרָֽיִם׃
And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
שִׁמְעוּ-זֹאת הַכֹּהֲנִים וְהַקְשִׁיבוּ׀ בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל וּבֵית הַמֶּלֶךְ הַאֲזִינוּ כִּי לָכֶם הַמִּשְׁפָּט כִּֽי-פַח הֱיִיתֶם לְמִצְפָּה וְרֶשֶׁת פְּרוּשָׂה עַל-תָּבֽוֹר׃
Hear ye this, O priests; and hearken, ye house of Israel; and give ye ear, O house of the king; for judgment is toward you, because ye have been a snare on Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor.
וְקִבַּצְתִּי אֶת-כָּל-הַגּוֹיִם וְהוֹרַדְתִּים אֶל-עֵמֶק יְהֽוֹשָׁפָט וְנִשְׁפַּטְתִּי עִמָּם שָׁם עַל-עַמִּי וְנַחֲלָתִי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר פִּזְּרוּ בַגּוֹיִם וְאֶת-אַרְצִי חִלֵּֽקוּ׃
I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.
יֵעוֹרוּ וְיַעֲלוּ הַגּוֹיִם אֶל-עֵמֶק יְהֽוֹשָׁפָט כִּי שָׁם אֵשֵׁב לִשְׁפֹּט אֶת-כָּל-הַגּוֹיִם מִסָּבִֽיב׃
Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about.
הֲמוֹנִים הֲמוֹנִים בְּעֵמֶק הֶֽחָרוּץ כִּי קָרוֹב יוֹם יְהוָה בְּעֵמֶק הֶחָרֽוּץ׃
Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.
וְנָמַסּוּ הֶֽהָרִים תַּחְתָּיו וְהָעֲמָקִים יִתְבַּקָּעוּ כַּדּוֹנַג מִפְּנֵי הָאֵשׁ כְּמַיִם מֻגָּרִים בְּמוֹרָֽד׃
And the mountains shall be molten under him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, and as the waters that are poured down a steep place.
