וַתָּבֹא יְרֽוּשָׁלְַמָה בְּחַיִל כָּבֵד מְאֹד גְּמַלִּים נֹֽשְׂאִים בְּשָׂמִים וְזָהָב רַב-מְאֹד וְאֶבֶן יְקָרָה וַתָּבֹא אֶל-שְׁלֹמֹה וַתְּדַבֵּר אֵלָיו אֵת כָּל-אֲשֶׁר הָיָה עִם-לְבָבָֽהּ׃
And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels that bare spices, and very much gold, and precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart.
וְכָל-הָאָרֶץ מְבַקְשִׁים אֶת-פְּנֵי שְׁלֹמֹה לִשְׁמֹעַ אֶת-חָכְמָתוֹ אֲשֶׁר-נָתַן אֱלֹהִים בְּלִבּֽוֹ׃
And all the earth sought to Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
מִן-הַגּוֹיִם אֲשֶׁר אָֽמַר-יְהוָה אֶל-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לֹֽא-תָבֹאוּ בָהֶם וְהֵם לֹֽא-יָבֹאוּ בָכֶם אָכֵן יַטּוּ אֶת-לְבַבְכֶם אַֽחֲרֵי אֱלֹֽהֵיהֶם בָּהֶם דָּבַק שְׁלֹמֹה לְאַֽהֲבָֽה׃
Of the nations concerning which the LORD said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in love.
וַיְהִי-לוֹ נָשִׁים שָׂרוֹת שְׁבַע מֵאוֹת וּפִֽלַגְשִׁים שְׁלֹשׁ מֵאוֹת וַיַּטּוּ נָשָׁיו אֶת-לִבּֽוֹ׃
And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart.
וַיְהִי לְעֵת זִקְנַת שְׁלֹמֹה נָשָׁיו הִטּוּ אֶת-לְבָבוֹ אַֽחֲרֵי אֱלֹהִים אֲחֵרִים וְלֹֽא-הָיָה לְבָבוֹ שָׁלֵם עִם-יְהוָה אֱלֹהָיו כִּלְבַב דָּוִיד אָבִֽיו׃
For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father.
וַיִּתְאַנַּף יְהוָה בִּשְׁלֹמֹה כִּֽי-נָטָה לְבָבוֹ מֵעִם יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל הַנִּרְאָה אֵלָיו פַּֽעֲמָֽיִם׃
And the LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the LORD God of Israel, which had appeared unto him twice,
וַיֹּאמֶר יָֽרָבְעָם בְּלִבּוֹ עַתָּה תָּשׁוּב הַמַּמְלָכָה לְבֵית דָּוִֽד׃
And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David:
אִֽם-יַעֲלֶה׀ הָעָם הַזֶּה לַֽעֲשׂוֹת זְבָחִים בְּבֵית-יְהוָה בִּירוּשָׁלִַם וְשָׁב לֵב הָעָם הַזֶּה אֶל-אֲדֹנֵיהֶם אֶל-רְחַבְעָם מֶלֶךְ יְהוּדָה וַֽהֲרָגֻנִי וְשָׁבוּ אֶל-רְחַבְעָם מֶֽלֶךְ-יְהוּדָֽה׃
If this people go up to do sacrifice in the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn again unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam king of Judah, and they shall kill me, and go again to Rehoboam king of Judah.
וַיַּעַל עַֽל-הַמִּזְבֵּחַ׀ אֲשֶׁר-עָשָׂה בְּבֵֽית-אֵל בַּֽחֲמִשָּׁה עָשָׂר יוֹם בַּחֹדֶשׁ הַשְּׁמִינִי בַּחֹדֶשׁ אֲשֶׁר-בָּדָא (מלבד) מִלִּבּוֹ וַיַּעַשׂ חָג לִבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיַּעַל עַל-הַמִּזְבֵּחַ לְהַקְטִֽיר׃
So he offered upon the altar which he had made in Beth-el the fifteenth day of the eighth month, even in the month which he had devised of his own heart; and ordained a feast unto the children of Israel: and he offered upon the altar, and burnt incense.
וָֽאֶקְרַע אֶת-הַמַּמְלָכָה מִבֵּית דָּוִד וָֽאֶתְּנֶהָ לָךְ וְלֹֽא-הָיִיתָ כְּעַבְדִּי דָוִד אֲשֶׁר שָׁמַר מִצְוֹתַי וַֽאֲשֶׁר-הָלַךְ אַֽחֲרַי בְּכָל-לְבָבוֹ לַֽעֲשׂוֹת רַק הַיָּשָׁר בְּעֵינָֽי׃

וַיֵּלֶךְ בְּכָל-חַטֹּאות אָבִיו אֲשֶׁר-עָשָׂה לְפָנָיו וְלֹֽא-הָיָה לְבָבוֹ שָׁלֵם עִם-יְהוָה אֱלֹהָיו כִּלְבַב דָּוִד אָבִֽיו׃
And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father.
וְהַבָּמוֹת לֹא-סָרוּ רַק לְבַב-אָסָא הָיָה שָׁלֵם עִם-יְהוָה כָּל-יָמָֽיו׃
But the high places were not removed: nevertheless Asa's heart was perfect with the LORD all his days.

Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the LORD God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again.
וַתֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו אִיזֶבֶל אִשְׁתּוֹ אַתָּה עַתָּה תַּֽעֲשֶׂה מְלוּכָה עַל-יִשְׂרָאֵל קוּם אֱכָל-לֶחֶם וְיִטַב לִבֶּךָ אֲנִי אֶתֵּן לְךָ אֶת-כֶּרֶם נָבוֹת הַיִּזְרְעֵאלִֽי׃

And he said unto him, Went not mine heart with thee, when the man turned again from his chariot to meet thee? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and oliveyards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and maidservants?
וַיִּסָּעֵר לֵב מֶֽלֶךְ-אֲרָם עַל-הַדָּבָר הַזֶּה וַיִּקְרָא אֶל-עֲבָדָיו וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם הֲלוֹא תַּגִּידוּ לִי מִי מִשֶּׁלָּנוּ אֶל-מֶלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was sore troubled for this thing; and he called his servants, and said unto them, Will ye not shew me which of us is for the king of Israel?
וְיֵהוּא מִלֵּא יָדוֹ בַקֶּשֶׁת וַיַּךְ אֶת-יְהוֹרָם בֵּין זְרֹעָיו וַיֵּצֵא הַחֵצִי מִלִּבּוֹ וַיִּכְרַע בְּרִכְבּֽוֹ׃
And Jehu drew a bow with his full strength, and smote Jehoram between his arms, and the arrow went out at his heart, and he sunk down in his chariot.
וַיֵּלֶךְ מִשָּׁם וַיִּמְצָא אֶת-יְהֽוֹנָדָב בֶּן-רֵכָב לִקְרָאתוֹ וַֽיְבָרְכֵהוּ וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו הֲיֵשׁ אֶת-לְבָֽבְךָ יָשָׁר כַּֽאֲשֶׁר לְבָבִי עִם-לְבָבֶךָ וַיֹּאמֶר יְהֽוֹנָדָב יֵשׁ וָיֵשׁ תְּנָה אֶת-יָדֶךָ וַיִּתֵּן יָדוֹ וַיַּֽעֲלֵהוּ אֵלָיו אֶל-הַמֶּרְכָּבָֽה׃
And when he was departed thence, he lighted on Jehonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him: and he saluted him, and said to him, Is thine heart right, as my heart is with thy heart? And Jehonadab answered, It is. If it be, give me thine hand. And he gave him his hand; and he took him up to him into the chariot.
וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל-יֵהוּא יַעַן אֲשֶׁר-הֱטִיבֹתָ לַֽעֲשׂוֹת הַיָּשָׁר בְּעֵינַי כְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר בִּלְבָבִי עָשִׂיתָ לְבֵית אַחְאָב בְּנֵי רְבִעִים יֵֽשְׁבוּ לְךָ עַל-כִּסֵּא יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And the LORD said unto Jehu, Because thou hast done well in executing that which is right in mine eyes, and hast done unto the house of Ahab according to all that was in mine heart, thy children of the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel.
וְיֵהוּא לֹא שָׁמַר לָלֶכֶת בְּתֽוֹרַת-יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵֽי-יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּכָל-לְבָבוֹ לֹא סָר מֵעַל חַטֹּאות יָֽרָבְעָם אֲשֶׁר הֶֽחֱטִיא אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of the LORD God of Israel with all his heart: for he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam, which made Israel to sin.
וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוֹאָשׁ אֶל-הַכֹּֽהֲנִים כֹּל כֶּסֶף הַקֳּדָשִׁים אֲשֶׁר-יוּבָא בֵית-יְהוָה כֶּסֶף עוֹבֵר אִישׁ כֶּסֶף נַפְשׁוֹת עֶרְכּוֹ כָּל-כֶּסֶף אֲשֶׁר יַֽעֲלֶה עַל לֶב-אִישׁ לְהָבִיא בֵּית יְהוָֽה׃
And Jehoash said to the priests, All the money of the dedicated things that is brought into the house of the LORD, even the money of every one that passeth the account, the money that every man is set at, and all the money that cometh into any man's heart to bring into the house of the LORD,
הַכֵּה הִכִּיתָ אֶת-אֱדוֹם וּֽנְשָׂאֲךָ לִבֶּךָ הִכָּבֵד וְשֵׁב בְּבֵיתֶךָ וְלָמָּה תִתְגָּרֶה בְּרָעָה וְנָפַלְתָּה אַתָּה וִֽיהוּדָה עִמָּֽךְ׃
Thou hast indeed smitten Edom, and thine heart hath lifted thee up: glory of this, and tarry at home: for why shouldest thou meddle to thy hurt, that thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah with thee?
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.
יַעַן רַךְ-לְבָבְךָ וַתִּכָּנַע׀ מִפְּנֵי יְהוָה בְּֽשָׁמְעֲךָ אֲשֶׁר דִּבַּרְתִּי עַל-הַמָּקוֹם הַזֶּה וְעַל-יֹֽשְׁבָיו לִֽהְיוֹת לְשַׁמָּה וְלִקְלָלָה וַתִּקְרַע אֶת-בְּגָדֶיךָ וַתִּבְכֶּה לְפָנָי וְגַם אָֽנֹכִי שָׁמַעְתִּי נְאֻם-יְהוָֽה׃
Because thine heart was tender, and thou hast humbled thyself before the LORD, when thou heardest what I spake against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard thee, saith the LORD.
וַיַּֽעֲמֹד הַמֶּלֶךְ עַֽל-הָעַמּוּד וַיִּכְרֹת אֶֽת-הַבְּרִית׀ לִפְנֵי יְהוָה לָלֶכֶת אַחַר יְהוָה וְלִשְׁמֹר מִצְוֹתָיו וְאֶת-עֵדְוֹתָיו וְאֶת-חֻקֹּתָיו בְּכָל-לֵב וּבְכָל-נֶפֶשׁ לְהָקִים אֶת-דִּבְרֵי הַבְּרִית הַזֹּאת הַכְּתֻבִים עַל-הַסֵּפֶר הַזֶּה וַיַּֽעֲמֹד כָּל-הָעָם בַּבְּרִֽית׃
And the king stood by a pillar, and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes with all their heart and all their soul, to perform the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all the people stood to the covenant.
וְכָמֹהוּ לֹֽא-הָיָה לְפָנָיו מֶלֶךְ אֲשֶׁר-שָׁב אֶל-יְהוָה בְּכָל-לְבָבוֹ וּבְכָל-נַפְשׁוֹ וּבְכָל-מְאֹדוֹ כְּכֹל תּוֹרַת מֹשֶׁה וְאַֽחֲרָיו לֹא-קָם כָּמֹֽהוּ׃
And like unto him was there no king before him, that turned to the LORD with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; neither after him arose there any like him.
וַיֵּצֵא דָוִיד לִפְנֵיהֶם וַיַּעַן וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם אִם-לְשָׁלוֹם בָּאתֶם אֵלַי לְעָזְרֵנִי יִֽהְיֶה-לִּי עֲלֵיכֶם לֵבָב לְיָחַד וְאִֽם-לְרַמּוֹתַנִי לְצָרַי בְּלֹא חָמָס בְּכַפַּי יֵרֶא אֱלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתֵינוּ וְיוֹכַֽח׃
And David went out to meet them, and answered and said unto them, If ye be come peaceably unto me to help me, mine heart shall be knit unto you: but if ye be come to betray me to mine enemies, seeing there is no wrong in mine hands, the God of our fathers look thereon, and rebuke it.
מִזְּבֻלוּן יֽוֹצְאֵי צָבָא עֹֽרְכֵי מִלְחָמָה בְּכָל-כְּלֵי מִלְחָמָה חֲמִשִּׁים אָלֶף וְלַֽעֲדֹר בְּלֹא-לֵב וָלֵֽב׃
Of Zebulun, such as went forth to battle, expert in war, with all instruments of war, fifty thousand, which could keep rank: they were not of double heart.
כָּל-אֵלֶּה אַנְשֵׁי מִלְחָמָה עֹדְרֵי מַֽעֲרָכָה בְּלֵבָב שָׁלֵם בָּאוּ חֶבְרוֹנָה לְהַמְלִיךְ אֶת-דָּוִיד עַל-כָּל-יִשְׂרָאֵל וְגַם כָּל-שֵׁרִית יִשְׂרָאֵל לֵב אֶחָד לְהַמְלִיךְ אֶת-דָּוִֽיד׃
All these men of war, that could keep rank, came with a perfect heart to Hebron, to make David king over all Israel: and all the rest also of Israel were of one heart to make David king.
וַיְהִי אֲרוֹן בְּרִית יְהוָה בָּא עַד-עִיר דָּוִיד וּמִיכַל בַּת-שָׁאוּל נִשְׁקְפָה׀ בְּעַד הַֽחַלּוֹן וַתֵּרֶא אֶת-הַמֶּלֶךְ דָּוִיד מְרַקֵּד וּמְשַׂחֵק וַתִּבֶז לוֹ בְּלִבָּֽהּ׃
And it came to pass, as the ark of the covenant of the LORD came to the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looking out at a window saw king David dancing and playing: and she despised him in her heart.
הִֽתְהַלְלוּ בְּשֵׁם קָדְשׁוֹ יִשְׂמַח לֵב מְבַקְשֵׁי יְהוָֽה׃
Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.
וַיֹּאמֶר נָתָן אֶל-דָּוִיד כֹּל אֲשֶׁר בִּֽלְבָבְךָ עֲשֵׂה כִּי הָֽאֱלֹהִים עִמָּֽךְ׃
Then Nathan said unto David, Do all that is in thine heart; for God is with thee.
יְהוָה בַּֽעֲבוּר עַבְדְּךָ וּֽכְלִבְּךָ עָשִׂיתָ אֵת כָּל-הַגְּדוּלָּה הַזֹּאת לְהֹדִיעַ אֶת-כָּל-הַגְּדֻלּֽוֹת׃
O LORD, for thy servant's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all this greatness, in making known all these great things.
וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִיד לִשְׁלֹמֹה (בנו) בְּנִי אֲנִי הָיָה עִם-לְבָבִי לִבְנוֹת בַּיִת לְשֵׁם יְהוָה אֱלֹהָֽי׃
And David said to Solomon, My son, as for me, it was in my mind to build an house unto the name of the LORD my God:
עַתָּה תְּנוּ לְבַבְכֶם וְנַפְשְׁכֶם לִדְרוֹשׁ לַֽיהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם וְקוּמוּ וּבְנוּ אֶת-מִקְדַּשׁ יְהוָה הָֽאֱלֹהִים לְהָבִיא אֶת-אֲרוֹן בְּרִית-יְהוָה וּכְלֵי קֹדֶשׁ הָֽאֱלֹהִים לַבַּיִת הַנִּבְנֶה לְשֵׁם-יְהוָֽה׃
Now set your heart and your soul to seek the LORD your God; arise therefore, and build ye the sanctuary of the LORD God, to bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and the holy vessels of God, into the house that is to be built to the name of the LORD.
וַיָּקָם דָּוִיד הַמֶּלֶךְ עַל-רַגְלָיו וַיֹּאמֶר שְׁמָעוּנִי אַחַי וְעַמִּי אֲנִי עִם-לְבָבִי לִבְנוֹת בֵּית מְנוּחָה לַֽאֲרוֹן בְּרִית-יְהוָה וְלַֽהֲדֹם רַגְלֵי אֱלֹהֵינוּ וַֽהֲכִינוֹתִי לִבְנֽוֹת׃
Then David the king stood up upon his feet, and said, Hear me, my brethren, and my people: As for me, I had in mine heart to build an house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and for the footstool of our God, and had made ready for the building:
וְאַתָּה שְׁלֹמֹֽה-בְנִי דַּע אֶת-אֱלֹהֵי אָבִיךָ וְעָבְדֵהוּ בְּלֵב שָׁלֵם וּבְנֶפֶשׁ חֲפֵצָה כִּי כָל-לְבָבוֹת דּוֹרֵשׁ יְהוָה וְכָל-יֵצֶר מַֽחֲשָׁבוֹת מֵבִין אִֽם-תִּדְרְשֶׁנּוּ יִמָּצֵא לָךְ וְאִם-תַּֽעַזְבֶנּוּ יַזְנִֽיחֲךָ לָעַֽד׃
And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever.
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.
וְיָדַעְתִּי אֱלֹהַי כִּי אַתָּה בֹּחֵן לֵבָב וּמֵֽישָׁרִים תִּרְצֶה אֲנִי בְּיֹשֶׁר לְבָבִי הִתְנַדַּבְתִּי כָל-אֵלֶּה וְעַתָּה עַמְּךָ הַנִּמְצְאוּ-פֹה רָאִיתִי בְשִׂמְחָה לְהִֽתְנַדֶּב-לָֽךְ׃
I know also, my God, that thou triest the heart, and hast pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of mine heart I have willingly offered all these things: and now have I seen with joy thy people, which are present here, to offer willingly unto thee.
יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי אַבְרָהָם יִצְחָק וְיִשְׂרָאֵל אֲבֹתֵינוּ שֳׁמְרָה-זֹּאת לְעוֹלָם לְיֵצֶר מַחְשְׁבוֹת לְבַב עַמֶּךָ וְהָכֵן לְבָבָם אֵלֶֽיךָ׃
O LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, our fathers, keep this for ever in the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of thy people, and prepare their heart unto thee:
וְלִשְׁלֹמֹה בְנִי תֵּן לֵבָב שָׁלֵם לִשְׁמוֹר מִצְוֹתֶיךָ עֵדְוֹתֶיךָ וְחֻקֶּיךָ וְלַֽעֲשׂוֹת הַכֹּל וְלִבְנוֹת הַבִּירָה אֲשֶׁר-הֲכִינֽוֹתִי׃
And give unto Solomon my son a perfect heart, to keep thy commandments, thy testimonies, and thy statutes, and to do all these things, and to build the palace, for the which I have made provision.
וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים׀ לִשְׁלֹמֹה יַעַן אֲשֶׁר הָֽיְתָה זֹאת עִם-לְבָבֶךָ וְלֹֽא-שָׁאַלְתָּ עֹשֶׁר נְכָסִים וְכָבוֹד וְאֵת נֶפֶשׁ שֹֽׂנְאֶיךָ וְגַם-יָמִים רַבִּים לֹא שָׁאָלְתָּ וַתִּֽשְׁאַל-לְךָ חָכְמָה וּמַדָּע אֲשֶׁר תִּשְׁפּוֹט אֶת-עַמִּי אֲשֶׁר הִמְלַכְתִּיךָ עָלָֽיו׃
And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of thine enemies, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king:
וַיְהִי עִם-לְבַב דָּוִיד אָבִי לִבְנוֹת בַּיִת לְשֵׁם יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
Now it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.
וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל-דָּוִיד אָבִי יַעַן אֲשֶׁר הָיָה עִם-לְבָבְךָ לִבְנוֹת בַּיִת לִשְׁמִי הֱֽטִיבוֹתָ כִּי הָיָה עִם-לְבָבֶֽךָ׃
But the LORD said to David my father, Forasmuch as it was in thine heart to build an house for my name, thou didst well in that it was in thine heart:
וַיֹּאמַר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֵין-כָּמוֹךָ אֱלֹהִים בַּשָּׁמַיִם וּבָאָרֶץ שֹׁמֵר הַבְּרִית וְֽהַחֶסֶד לַֽעֲבָדֶיךָ הַהֹֽלְכִים לְפָנֶיךָ בְּכָל-לִבָּֽם׃
And said, O LORD God of Israel, there is no God like thee in the heaven, nor in the earth; which keepest covenant, and shewest mercy unto thy servants, that walk before thee with all their hearts:
וְאַתָּה תִּשְׁמַע מִן-הַשָּׁמַיִם מְכוֹן שִׁבְתֶּךָ וְסָלַחְתָּ וְנָֽתַתָּה לָאִישׁ כְּכָל-דְּרָכָיו אֲשֶׁר תֵּדַע אֶת-לְבָבוֹ כִּי אַתָּה לְבַדְּךָ יָדַעְתָּ אֶת-לְבַב בְּנֵי הָֽאָדָֽם׃
Then hear thou from heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and render unto every man according unto all his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou only knowest the hearts of the children of men:)
וְהֵשִׁיבוּ אֶל-לְבָבָם בָּאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר נִשְׁבּוּ-שָׁם וְשָׁבוּ׀ וְהִֽתְחַנְּנוּ אֵלֶיךָ בְּאֶרֶץ שִׁבְיָם לֵאמֹר חָטָאנוּ הֶֽעֱוִינוּ וְרָשָֽׁעְנוּ׃
Yet if they bethink themselves in the land whither they are carried captive, and turn and pray unto thee in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done amiss, and have dealt wickedly;
וְשָׁבוּ אֵלֶיךָ בְּכָל-לִבָּם וּבְכָל-נַפְשָׁם בְּאֶרֶץ שִׁבְיָם אֲשֶׁר-שָׁבוּ אֹתָם וְהִֽתְפַּֽלְלוּ דֶּרֶךְ אַרְצָם אֲשֶׁר נָתַתָּה לַֽאֲבוֹתָם וְהָעִיר אֲשֶׁר בָּחַרְתָּ וְלַבַּיִת אֲשֶׁר-בָּנִיתִי לִשְׁמֶֽךָ׃
If they return to thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, whither they have carried them captives, and pray toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, and toward the city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house which I have built for thy name:
וּבְיוֹם עֶשְׂרִים וּשְׁלֹשָׁה לַחֹדֶשׁ הַשְּׁבִיעִי שִׁלַּח אֶת-הָעָם לְאָֽהֳלֵיהֶם שְׂמֵחִים וְטוֹבֵי לֵב עַל-הַטּוֹבָה אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה יְהוָה לְדָוִיד וְלִשְׁלֹמֹה וּלְיִשְׂרָאֵל עַמּֽוֹ׃
And on the three and twentieth day of the seventh month he sent the people away into their tents, glad and merry in heart for the goodness that the LORD had shewed unto David, and to Solomon, and to Israel his people.
וַיְכַל שְׁלֹמֹה אֶת-בֵּית יְהוָה וְאֶת-בֵּית הַמֶּלֶךְ וְאֵת כָּל-הַבָּא עַל-לֵב שְׁלֹמֹה לַֽעֲשׂוֹת בְּבֵית-יְהוָה וּבְבֵיתוֹ הִצְלִֽיחַ׃
Thus Solomon finished the house of the LORD, and the king's house: and all that came into Solomon's heart to make in the house of the LORD, and in his own house, he prosperously effected.
וְעַתָּה בָּחַרְתִּי וְהִקְדַּשְׁתִּי אֶת-הַבַּיִת הַזֶּה לִֽהְיוֹת-שְׁמִי שָׁם עַד-עוֹלָם וְהָיוּ עֵינַי וְלִבִּי שָׁם כָּל-הַיָּמִֽים׃
For now have I chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be there for ever: and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually.
וּמַֽלְכַּת-שְׁבָא שָֽׁמְעָה אֶת-שֵׁמַע שְׁלֹמֹה וַתָּבוֹא לְנַסּוֹת אֶת-שְׁלֹמֹה בְחִידוֹת בִּירֽוּשָׁלִַם בְּחַיִל כָּבֵד מְאֹד וּגְמַלִּים נֹֽשְׂאִים בְּשָׂמִים וְזָהָב לָרֹב וְאֶבֶן יְקָרָה וַתָּבוֹא אֶל-שְׁלֹמֹה וַתְּדַבֵּר עִמּוֹ אֵת כָּל-אֲשֶׁר הָיָה עִם-לְבָבָֽהּ׃
And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to prove Solomon with hard questions at Jerusalem, with a very great company, and camels that bare spices, and gold in abundance, and precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart.
וְכֹל מַלְכֵי הָאָרֶץ מְבַקְשִׁים אֶת-פְּנֵי שְׁלֹמֹה לִשְׁמֹעַ אֶת-חָכְמָתוֹ אֲשֶׁר-נָתַן הָֽאֱלֹהִים בְּלִבּֽוֹ׃
And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, that God had put in his heart.
וְאַֽחֲרֵיהֶם מִכֹּל שִׁבְטֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל הַנֹּֽתְנִים אֶת-לְבָבָם לְבַקֵּשׁ אֶת-יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל בָּאוּ יְרוּשָׁלִַם לִזְבּוֹחַ לַֽיהוָה אֱלֹהֵי אֲבֽוֹתֵיהֶֽם׃
And after them out of all the tribes of Israel such as set their hearts to seek the LORD God of Israel came to Jerusalem, to sacrifice unto the LORD God of their fathers.
וַיַּעַשׂ הָרָע כִּי לֹא הֵכִין לִבּוֹ לִדְרוֹשׁ אֶת-יְהוָֽה׃
And he did evil, because he prepared not his heart to seek the LORD.
וַיִּקָּֽבְצוּ עָלָיו אֲנָשִׁים רֵקִים בְּנֵי בְלִיַּעַל וַיִּֽתְאַמְּצוּ עַל-רְחַבְעָם בֶּן-שְׁלֹמֹה וּרְחַבְעָם הָיָֽה נַעַר וְרַךְ-לֵבָב וְלֹא הִתְחַזַּק לִפְנֵיהֶֽם׃
And there are gathered unto him vain men, the children of Belial, and have strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tenderhearted, and could not withstand them.
וַיָּבֹאוּ בַבְּרִית לִדְרוֹשׁ אֶת-יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי אֲבֽוֹתֵיהֶם בְּכָל-לְבָבָם וּבְכָל-נַפְשָֽׁם׃
And they entered into a covenant to seek the LORD God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul;
וַיִּשְׂמְחוּ כָל-יְהוּדָה עַל-הַשְּׁבוּעָה כִּי בְכָל-לְבָבָם נִשְׁבָּעוּ וּבְכָל-רְצוֹנָם בִּקְשֻׁהוּ וַיִּמָּצֵא לָהֶם וַיָּנַח יְהוָה לָהֶם מִסָּבִֽיב׃
And all Judah rejoiced at the oath: for they had sworn with all their heart, and sought him with their whole desire; and he was found of them: and the LORD gave them rest round about.
וְהַבָּמוֹת לֹא-סָרוּ מִיִּשְׂרָאֵל רַק לְבַב-אָסָא הָיָה שָׁלֵם כָּל-יָמָֽיו׃
But the high places were not taken away out of Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.
כִּי יְהוָה עֵינָיו מְשֹֽׁטְטוֹת בְּכָל-הָאָרֶץ לְהִתְחַזֵּק עִם-לְבָבָם שָׁלֵם אֵלָיו נִסְכַּלְתָּ עַל-זֹאת כִּי מֵעַתָּה יֵשׁ עִמְּךָ מִלְחָמֽוֹת׃
For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars.
וַיִּגְבַּהּ לִבּוֹ בְּדַרְכֵי יְהוָה וְעוֹד הֵסִיר אֶת-הַבָּמוֹת וְאֶת-הָֽאֲשֵׁרִים מִֽיהוּדָֽה׃
And his heart was lifted up in the ways of the LORD: moreover he took away the high places and groves out of Judah.
אֲבָל דְּבָרִים טוֹבִים נִמְצְאוּ עִמָּךְ כִּֽי-בִעַרְתָּ הָֽאֲשֵׁרוֹת מִן-הָאָרֶץ וַֽהֲכִינוֹתָ לְבָֽבְךָ לִדְרֹשׁ הָֽאֱלֹהִֽים׃
Nevertheless there are good things found in thee, in that thou hast taken away the groves out of the land, and hast prepared thine heart to seek God.
וַיְצַו עֲלֵיהֶם לֵאמֹר כֹּה תַֽעֲשׂוּן בְּיִרְאַת יְהוָה בֶּֽאֱמוּנָה וּבְלֵבָב שָׁלֵֽם׃
And he charged them, saying, Thus shall ye do in the fear of the LORD, faithfully, and with a perfect heart.
אַךְ הַבָּמוֹת לֹא-סָרוּ וְעוֹד הָעָם לֹֽא-הֵכִינוּ לְבָבָם לֵֽאלֹהֵי אֲבֹֽתֵיהֶֽם׃
Howbeit the high places were not taken away: for as yet the people had not prepared their hearts unto the God of their fathers.
וַיְבַקֵּשׁ אֶת-אֲחַזְיָהוּ וַֽיִּלְכְּדֻהוּ וְהוּא מִתְחַבֵּא בְשֹֽׁמְרוֹן וַיְבִאֻהוּ אֶל-יֵהוּא וַיְמִיתֻהוּ וַֽיִּקְבְּרֻהוּ כִּי אָֽמְרוּ בֶּן-יְהֽוֹשָׁפָט הוּא אֲשֶׁר-דָּרַשׁ אֶת-יְהוָה בְּכָל-לְבָבוֹ וְאֵין לְבֵית אֲחַזְיָהוּ לַעְצֹר כֹּחַ לְמַמְלָכָֽה׃
And he sought Ahaziah: and they caught him, (for he was hid in Samaria,) and brought him to Jehu: and when they had slain him, they buried him: Because, said they, he is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart. So the house of Ahaziah had no power to keep still the kingdom.
וַיְהִי אַחֲרֵי-כֵן הָיָה עִם-לֵב יוֹאָשׁ לְחַדֵּשׁ אֶת-בֵּית יְהוָֽה׃
And it came to pass after this, that Joash was minded to repair the house of the LORD.
וַיַּעַשׂ הַיָּשָׁר בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה רַק לֹא בְּלֵבָב שָׁלֵֽם׃
And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, but not with a perfect heart.
אָמַרְתָּ הִנֵּה הִכִּיתָ אֶת-אֱדוֹם וּנְשָֽׂאֲךָ לִבְּךָ לְהַכְבִּיד עַתָּה שְׁבָה בְּבֵיתֶךָ לָמָּה תִתְגָּרֶה בְּרָעָה וְנָפַלְתָּ אַתָּה וִֽיהוּדָה עִמָּֽךְ׃
Thou sayest, Lo, thou hast smitten the Edomites; and thine heart lifteth thee up to boast: abide now at home; why shouldest thou meddle to thine hurt, that thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah with thee?
וּכְחֶזְקָתוֹ גָּבַהּ לִבּוֹ עַד-לְהַשְׁחִית וַיִּמְעַל בַּֽיהוָה אֱלֹהָיו וַיָּבֹא אֶל-הֵיכַל יְהוָה לְהַקְטִיר עַל-מִזְבַּח הַקְּטֹֽרֶת׃
But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction: for he transgressed against the LORD his God, and went into the temple of the LORD to burn incense upon the altar of incense.
עַתָּה עִם-לְבָבִי לִכְרוֹת בְּרִית לַֽיהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְיָשֹׁב מִמֶּנּוּ חֲרוֹן אַפּֽוֹ׃
Now it is in mine heart to make a covenant with the LORD God of Israel, that his fierce wrath may turn away from us.
וַיַּעַן יְחִזְקִיָּהוּ וַיֹּאמֶר עַתָּה מִלֵּאתֶם יֶדְכֶם לַֽיהוָה גֹּשׁוּ וְהָבִיאוּ זְבָחִים וְתוֹדוֹת לְבֵית יְהוָה וַיָּבִיאוּ הַקָּהָל זְבָחִים וְתוֹדוֹת וְכָל-נְדִיב לֵב עֹלֽוֹת׃
Then Hezekiah answered and said, Now ye have consecrated yourselves unto the LORD, come near and bring sacrifices and thank offerings into the house of the LORD. And the congregation brought in sacrifices and thank offerings; and as many as were of a free heart burnt offerings.
רַק הַכֹּֽהֲנִים הָיוּ לִמְעָט וְלֹא יָֽכְלוּ לְהַפְשִׁיט אֶת-כָּל-הָֽעֹלוֹת וַֽיְחַזְּקוּם אֲחֵיהֶם הַלְוִיִּם עַד-כְּלוֹת הַמְּלָאכָה וְעַד יִתְקַדְּשׁוּ הַכֹּֽהֲנִים כִּי הַלְוִיִּם יִשְׁרֵי לֵבָב לְהִתְקַדֵּשׁ מֵהַכֹּֽהֲנִֽים׃
But the priests were too few, so that they could not flay all the burnt offerings: wherefore their brethren the Levites did help them, till the work was ended, and until the other priests had sanctified themselves: for the Levites were more upright in heart to sanctify themselves than the priests.
גַּם בִּֽיהוּדָה הָֽיְתָה יַד הָֽאֱלֹהִים לָתֵת לָהֶם לֵב אֶחָד לַֽעֲשׂוֹת מִצְוַת הַמֶּלֶךְ וְהַשָּׂרִים בִּדְבַר יְהוָֽה׃
Also in Judah the hand of God was to give them one heart to do the commandment of the king and of the princes, by the word of the LORD.
כָּל-לְבָבוֹ הֵכִין לִדְרוֹשׁ הָֽאֱלֹהִים׀ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתָיו וְלֹא כְּטָֽהֳרַת הַקֹּֽדֶשׁ׃
That prepareth his heart to seek God, the LORD God of his fathers, though he be not cleansed according to the purification of the sanctuary.
וַיְדַבֵּר יְחִזְקִיָּהוּ עַל-לֵב כָּל-הַלְוִיִּם הַמַּשְׂכִּילִים שֵֽׂכֶל-טוֹב לַֽיהוָה וַיֹּֽאכְלוּ אֶת-הַמּוֹעֵד שִׁבְעַת הַיָּמִים מְזַבְּחִים זִבְחֵי שְׁלָמִים וּמִתְוַדִּים לַֽיהוָה אֱלֹהֵי אֲבֽוֹתֵיהֶֽם׃
And Hezekiah spake comfortably unto all the Levites that taught the good knowledge of the LORD: and they did eat throughout the feast seven days, offering peace offerings, and making confession to the LORD God of their fathers.
וּבְכָֽל-מַעֲשֶׂה אֲשֶׁר-הֵחֵל׀ בַּֽעֲבוֹדַת בֵּית-הָֽאֱלֹהִים וּבַתּוֹרָה וּבַמִּצְוָה לִדְרֹשׁ לֵֽאלֹהָיו בְּכָל-לְבָבוֹ עָשָׂה וְהִצְלִֽיחַ׃
And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart, and prospered.
וַיִּתֵּן שָׂרֵי מִלְחָמוֹת עַל-הָעָם וַיִּקְבְּצֵם אֵלָיו אֶל-רְחוֹב שַׁעַר הָעִיר וַיְדַבֵּר עַל-לְבָבָם לֵאמֹֽר׃
And he set captains of war over the people, and gathered them together to him in the street of the gate of the city, and spake comfortably to them, saying,
וְלֹֽא-כִגְמֻל עָלָיו הֵשִׁיב יְחִזְקִיָּהוּ כִּי גָבַהּ לִבּוֹ וַיְהִי עָלָיו קֶצֶף וְעַל-יְהוּדָה וִירֽוּשָׁלִָֽם׃
But Hezekiah rendered not again according to the benefit done unto him; for his heart was lifted up: therefore there was wrath upon him, and upon Judah and Jerusalem.
וַיִּכָּנַע יְחִזְקִיָּהוּ בְּגֹבַהּ לִבּוֹ הוּא וְיוֹשְׁבֵי יְרֽוּשָׁלִָם וְלֹא-בָא עֲלֵיהֶם קֶצֶף יְהוָה בִּימֵי יְחִזְקִיָּֽהוּ׃
Hezekiah Notwithstanding humbled himself for the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of the LORD came not upon them in the days of Hezekiah.
וְכֵן בִּמְלִיצֵי׀ שָׂרֵי בָּבֶל הַֽמְשַׁלְּחִים עָלָיו לִדְרֹשׁ הַמּוֹפֵת אֲשֶׁר הָיָה בָאָרֶץ עֲזָבוֹ הָֽאֱלֹהִים לְנַסּוֹתוֹ לָדַעַת כָּל-בִּלְבָבֽוֹ׃
Howbeit in the business of the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent unto him to inquire of the wonder that was done in the land, God left him, to try him, that he might know all that was in his heart.
יַעַן רַךְ-לְבָבְךָ וַתִּכָּנַע׀ מִלִּפְנֵי אֱלֹהִים בְּשָׁמְעֲךָ אֶת-דְּבָרָיו עַל-הַמָּקוֹם הַזֶּה וְעַל-יֹשְׁבָיו וַתִּכָּנַע לְפָנַי וַתִּקְרַע אֶת-בְּגָדֶיךָ וַתֵּבְךְּ לְפָנָי וְגַם-אֲנִי שָׁמַעְתִּי נְאֻם-יְהוָֽה׃
Because thine heart was tender, and thou didst humble thyself before God, when thou heardest his words against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, and humbledst thyself before me, and didst rend thy clothes, and weep before me; I have even heard thee also, saith the LORD.
וַיַּֽעֲמֹד הַמֶּלֶךְ עַל-עָמְדוֹ וַיִּכְרֹת אֶֽת-הַבְּרִית לִפְנֵי יְהוָה לָלֶכֶת אַֽחֲרֵי יְהוָה וְלִשְׁמוֹר אֶת-מִצְוֹתָיו וְעֵֽדְוֹתָיו וְחֻקָּיו בְּכָל-לְבָבוֹ וּבְכָל-נַפְשׁוֹ לַֽעֲשׂוֹת אֶת-דִּבְרֵי הַבְּרִית הַכְּתוּבִים עַל-הַסֵּפֶר הַזֶּֽה׃
And the king stood in his place, and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies, and his statutes, with all his heart, and with all his soul, to perform the words of the covenant which are written in this book.
וְגַם בַּמֶּלֶךְ נְבֽוּכַדְנֶאצַּר מָרָד אֲשֶׁר הִשְׁבִּיעוֹ בֵּֽאלֹהִים וַיֶּקֶשׁ אֶת-עָרְפּוֹ וַיְאַמֵּץ אֶת-לְבָבוֹ מִשּׁוּב אֶל-יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And he also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart from turning unto the LORD God of Israel.
וַיַּֽעֲשׂוּ חַג-מַצּוֹת שִׁבְעַת יָמִים בְּשִׂמְחָה כִּי׀ שִׂמְּחָם יְהוָה וְֽהֵסֵב לֵב מֶֽלֶךְ-אַשּׁוּר עֲלֵיהֶם לְחַזֵּק יְדֵיהֶם בִּמְלֶאכֶת בֵּית-הָֽאֱלֹהִים אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy: for the LORD had made them joyful, and turned the heart of the king of Assyria unto them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.
כִּי עֶזְרָא הֵכִין לְבָבוֹ לִדְרוֹשׁ אֶת-תּוֹרַת יְהוָה וְלַֽעֲשֹׂת וּלְלַמֵּד בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל חֹק וּמִשְׁפָּֽט׃
For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the law of the LORD, and to do it, and to teach in Israel statutes and judgments.
בָּרוּךְ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתֵינוּ אֲשֶׁר נָתַן כָּזֹאת בְּלֵב הַמֶּלֶךְ לְפָאֵר אֶת-בֵּית יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר בִּירֽוּשָׁלִָֽם׃
Blessed be the LORD God of our fathers, which hath put such a thing as this in the king's heart, to beautify the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem:
וַיֹּאמֶר לִי הַמֶּלֶךְ מַדּוּעַ׀ פָּנֶיךָ רָעִים וְאַתָּה אֵֽינְךָ חוֹלֶה אֵין זֶה כִּי-אִם רֹעַֽ לֵב וָֽאִירָא הַרְבֵּה מְאֹֽד׃
Wherefore the king said unto me, Why is thy countenance sad, seeing thou art not sick? this is nothing else but sorrow of heart. Then I was very sore afraid,
וָֽאָקוּם׀ לַיְלָה אֲנִי וַֽאֲנָשִׁים׀ מְעַט עִמִּי וְלֹֽא-הִגַּדְתִּי לְאָדָם מָה אֱלֹהַי נֹתֵן אֶל-לִבִּי לַֽעֲשׂוֹת לִירֽוּשָׁלִָם וּבְהֵמָה אֵין עִמִּי כִּי אִם-הַבְּהֵמָה אֲשֶׁר אֲנִי רֹכֵב בָּֽהּ׃
And I arose in the night, I and some few men with me; neither told I any man what my God had put in my heart to do at Jerusalem: neither was there any beast with me, save the beast that I rode upon.
וַנִּבְנֶה אֶת-הַחוֹמָה וַתִּקָּשֵׁר כָּל-הַֽחוֹמָה עַד-חֶצְיָהּ וַיְהִי לֵב לָעָם לַֽעֲשֽׂוֹת׃
So built we the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof: for the people had a mind to work.
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 אֵלָיו לֵאמֹר לֹא נִֽהְיָה כַּדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה אֲשֶׁר אַתָּה אוֹמֵר כִּי מִֽלִּבְּךָ אַתָּה בוֹדָֽאם׃
Then I sent unto him, saying, There are no such things done as thou sayest, but thou feignest them out of thine own heart.
וַיִּתֵּן אֱלֹהַי אֶל-לִבִּי וָֽאֶקְבְּצָה אֶת-הַֽחֹרִים וְאֶת-הַסְּגָנִים וְאֶת-הָעָם לְהִתְיַחֵשׂ וָֽאֶמְצָא סֵפֶר הַיַּחַשׂ הָֽעוֹלִים בָּרִֽאשׁוֹנָה וָֽאֶמְצָא כָּתוּב בּֽוֹ׃
And my God put into mine heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be reckoned by genealogy. And I found a register of the genealogy of them which came up at the first, and found written therein,
וּמָצָאתָ אֶת-לְבָבוֹ נֶֽאֱמָן לְפָנֶיךָ וְכָרוֹת עִמּוֹ הַבְּרִית לָתֵת אֶת-אֶרֶץ הַכְּנַֽעֲנִי הַֽחִתִּי הָֽאֱמֹרִי וְהַפְּרִזִּי וְהַיְבוּסִי וְהַגִּרְגָּשִׁי לָתֵת לְזַרְעוֹ וַתָּקֶם אֶת-דְּבָרֶיךָ כִּי צַדִּיק אָֽתָּה׃
And foundest his heart faithful before thee, and madest a covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Jebusites, and the Girgashites, to give it, I say, to his seed, and hast performed thy words; for thou art righteous:
בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִי כְּטוֹב לֵב-הַמֶּלֶךְ בַּיָּיִן אָמַר לִמְהוּמָן בִּזְּתָא חַרְבוֹנָא בִּגְתָא וַֽאֲבַגְתָא זֵתַר וְכַרְכַּס שִׁבְעַת הַסָּרִיסִים הַמְשָׁרְתִים אֶת-פְּנֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ אֲחַשְׁוֵרֽוֹשׁ׃
On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven chamberlains that served in the presence of Ahasuerus the king,
וַיֵּצֵא הָמָן בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא שָׂמֵחַ וְטוֹב לֵב וְכִרְאוֹת הָמָן אֶֽת-מָרְדֳּכַי בְּשַׁעַר הַמֶּלֶךְ וְלֹא-קָם וְלֹא-זָע מִמֶּנּוּ וַיִּמָּלֵא הָמָן עַֽל-מָרְדֳּכַי חֵמָֽה׃
Then went Haman forth that day joyful and with a glad heart: but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king's gate, that he stood not up, nor moved for him, he was full of indignation against Mordecai.
וַיָּבוֹא הָמָן וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ הַמֶּלֶךְ מַה-לַעֲשׂוֹת בָּאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר הַמֶּלֶךְ חָפֵץ בִּֽיקָרוֹ וַיֹּאמֶר הָמָן בְּלִבּוֹ לְמִי יַחְפֹּץ הַמֶּלֶךְ לַֽעֲשׂוֹת יְקָר יוֹתֵר מִמֶּֽנִּי׃
So Haman came in. And the king said unto him, What shall be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour? Now Haman thought in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honour more than to myself?
וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ אֲחַשְׁוֵרוֹשׁ וַיֹּאמֶר לְאֶסְתֵּר הַמַּלְכָּה מִי הוּא זֶה וְאֵֽי-זֶה הוּא אֲשֶׁר-מְלָאוֹ לִבּוֹ לַֽעֲשׂוֹת כֵּֽן׃
Then the king Ahasuerus answered and said unto Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume in his heart to do so?
וַיְהִי כִּי הִקִּיפוּ יְמֵי הַמִּשְׁתֶּה וַיִּשְׁלַח אִיּוֹב וַֽיְקַדְּשֵׁם וְהִשְׁכִּים בַּבֹּקֶר וְהֶֽעֱלָה עֹלוֹת מִסְפַּר כֻּלָּם כִּי אָמַר אִיּוֹב אוּלַי חָֽטְאוּ בָנַי וּבֵרֲכוּ אֱלֹהִים בִּלְבָבָם כָּכָה יַֽעֲשֶׂה אִיּוֹב כָּל-הַיָּמִֽים׃
And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.
וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל-הַשָּׂטָן הֲשַׂמְתָּ לִבְּךָ עַל-עַבְדִּי אִיּוֹב כִּי אֵין כָּמֹהוּ בָּאָרֶץ אִישׁ תָּם וְיָשָׁר יְרֵא אֱלֹהִים וְסָר מֵרָֽע׃
And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?
וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל-הַשָּׂטָן הֲשַׂמְתָּ לִבְּךָ אֶל-עַבְדִּי אִיּוֹב כִּי אֵין כָּמֹהוּ בָּאָרֶץ אִישׁ תָּם וְיָשָׁר יְרֵא אֱלֹהִים וְסָר מֵרָע וְעֹדֶנּוּ מַֽחֲזִיק בְּתֻמָּתוֹ וַתְּסִיתֵנִי בוֹ לְבַלְּעוֹ חִנָּֽם׃
And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.
