Every verse with Blood
Verses 101–200 of 387 (page 2 of 4)
וְשָׂרַף אֶת-הַפָּרָה לְעֵינָיו אֶת-עֹרָהּ וְאֶת-בְּשָׂרָהּ וְאֶת-דָּמָהּ עַל-פִּרְשָׁהּ יִשְׂרֹֽף׃
And one shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn:
הֶן-עָם כְּלָבִיא יָקוּם וְכַֽאֲרִי יִתְנַשָּׂא לֹא יִשְׁכַּב עַד-יֹאכַל טֶרֶף וְדַם-חֲלָלִים יִשְׁתֶּֽה׃
Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up himself as a young lion: he shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, and drink the blood of the slain.
גֹּאֵל הַדָּם הוּא יָמִית אֶת-הָֽרֹצֵחַ בְּפִגְעוֹ-בוֹ הוּא יְמִתֶֽנּוּ׃
The revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he meeteth him, he shall slay him.
אוֹ בְאֵיבָה הִכָּהוּ בְיָדוֹ וַיָּמֹת מֽוֹת-יוּמַת הַמַּכֶּה רֹצֵחַֽ הוּא גֹּאֵל הַדָּם יָמִית אֶת-הָֽרֹצֵחַ בְּפִגְעוֹ-בֽוֹ׃
Or in enmity smite him with his hand, that he die: he that smote him shall surely be put to death; for he is a murderer: the revenger of blood shall slay the murderer, when he meeteth him.
וְשָֽׁפְטוּ הָֽעֵדָה בֵּין הַמַּכֶּה וּבֵין גֹּאֵל הַדָּם עַל הַמִּשְׁפָּטִים הָאֵֽלֶּה׃
Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the revenger of blood according to these judgments:
וְהִצִּילוּ הָֽעֵדָה אֶת-הָֽרֹצֵחַ מִיַּד גֹּאֵל הַדָּם וְהֵשִׁיבוּ אֹתוֹ הָֽעֵדָה אֶל-עִיר מִקְלָטוֹ אֲשֶׁר-נָס שָׁמָּה וְיָשַׁב בָּהּ עַד-מוֹת הַכֹּהֵן הַגָּדֹל אֲשֶׁר-מָשַׁח אֹתוֹ בְּשֶׁמֶן הַקֹּֽדֶשׁ׃
And the congregation shall deliver the slayer out of the hand of the revenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to the city of his refuge, whither he was fled: and he shall abide in it unto the death of the high priest, which was anointed with the holy oil.
וּמָצָא אֹתוֹ גֹּאֵל הַדָּם מִחוּץ לִגְבוּל עִיר מִקְלָטוֹ וְרָצַח גֹּאֵל הַדָּם אֶת-הָרֹצֵחַ אֵין לוֹ דָּֽם׃
And the revenger of blood find him without the borders of the city of his refuge, and the revenger of blood kill the slayer; he shall not be guilty of blood:
וְלֹֽא-תַחֲנִיפוּ אֶת-הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר אַתֶּם בָּהּ כִּי הַדָּם הוּא יַֽחֲנִיף אֶת-הָאָרֶץ וְלָאָרֶץ לֹֽא-יְכֻפַּר לַדָּם אֲשֶׁר שֻׁפַּךְ-בָּהּ כִּי-אִם בְּדַם שֹֽׁפְכֽוֹ׃
So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.
רַק הַדָּם לֹא תֹאכֵלוּ עַל-הָאָרֶץ תִּשְׁפְּכֶנּוּ כַּמָּֽיִם׃
Only ye shall not eat the blood; ye shall pour it upon the earth as water.
רַק חֲזַק לְבִלְתִּי אֲכֹל הַדָּם כִּי הַדָּם הוּא הַנָּפֶשׁ וְלֹֽא-תֹאכַל הַנֶּפֶשׁ עִם-הַבָּשָֽׂר׃
Only be sure that thou eat not the blood: for the blood is the life; and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh.
וְעָשִׂיתָ עֹֽלֹתֶיךָ הַבָּשָׂר וְהַדָּם עַל-מִזְבַּח יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ וְדַם-זְבָחֶיךָ יִשָּׁפֵךְ עַל-מִזְבַּח יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ וְהַבָּשָׂר תֹּאכֵֽל׃
And thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, upon the altar of the LORD thy God: and the blood of thy sacrifices shall be poured out upon the altar of the LORD thy God, and thou shalt eat the flesh.
רַק אֶת-דָּמוֹ לֹא תֹאכֵל עַל-הָאָרֶץ תִּשְׁפְּכֶנּוּ כַּמָּֽיִם׃
Only thou shalt not eat the blood thereof; thou shalt pour it upon the ground as water.
כִּי יִפָּלֵא מִמְּךָ דָבָר לַמִּשְׁפָּט בֵּֽין-דָּם׀ לְדָם בֵּֽין-דִּין לְדִין וּבֵין נֶגַע לָנֶגַע דִּבְרֵי רִיבֹת בִּשְׁעָרֶיךָ וְקַמְתָּ וְעָלִיתָ אֶל-הַמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר יִבְחַר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ בּֽוֹ׃
If there arise a matter too hard for thee in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, being matters of controversy within thy gates: then shalt thou arise, and get thee up into the place which the LORD thy God shall choose;
פֶּן-יִרְדֹּף גֹּאֵל הַדָּם אַֽחֲרֵי הָֽרֹצֵחַ כִּֽי-יֵחַם לְבָבוֹ וְהִשִּׂיגוֹ כִּֽי-יִרְבֶּה הַדֶּרֶךְ וְהִכָּהוּ נָפֶשׁ וְלוֹ אֵין מִשְׁפַּט-מָוֶת כִּי לֹא שֹׂנֵא הוּא לוֹ מִתְּמוֹל שִׁלְשֽׁוֹם׃
Lest the avenger of the blood pursue the slayer, while his heart is hot, and overtake him, because the way is long, and slay him; whereas he was not worthy of death, inasmuch as he hated him not in time past.
וְלֹא יִשָּׁפֵךְ דָּם נָקִי בְּקֶרֶב אַרְצְךָ אֲשֶׁר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ נֹתֵן לְךָ נַֽחֲלָה וְהָיָה עָלֶיךָ דָּמִֽים׃
That innocent blood be not shed in thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and so blood be upon thee.
וְשָֽׁלְחוּ זִקְנֵי עִירוֹ וְלָֽקְחוּ אֹתוֹ מִשָּׁם וְנָֽתְנוּ אֹתוֹ בְּיַד גֹּאֵל הַדָּם וָמֵֽת׃
Then the elders of his city shall send and fetch him thence, and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may die.
לֹֽא-תָחוֹס עֵֽינְךָ עָלָיו וּבִֽעַרְתָּ דַֽם-הַנָּקִי מִיִּשְׂרָאֵל וְטוֹב לָֽךְ׃
Thine eye shall not pity him, but thou shalt put away the guilt of innocent blood from Israel, that it may go well with thee.
וְעָנוּ וְאָֽמְרוּ יָדֵינוּ לֹא (שפכה) שָֽׁפְכוּ אֶת-הַדָּם הַזֶּה וְעֵינֵינוּ לֹא רָאֽוּ׃
And they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it.
כַּפֵּר לְעַמְּךָ יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר-פָּדִיתָ יְהוָה וְאַל-תִּתֵּן דָּם נָקִי בְּקֶרֶב עַמְּךָ יִשְׂרָאֵל וְנִכַּפֵּר לָהֶם הַדָּֽם׃
Be merciful, O LORD, unto thy people Israel, whom thou hast redeemed, and lay not innocent blood unto thy people of Israel's charge. And the blood shall be forgiven them.
וְאַתָּה תְּבַעֵר הַדָּם הַנָּקִי מִקִּרְבֶּךָ כִּֽי-תַעֲשֶׂה הַיָּשָׁר בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָֽה׃
So shalt thou put away the guilt of innocent blood from among you, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of the LORD.
כִּי תִבְנֶה בַּיִת חָדָשׁ וְעָשִׂיתָ מַֽעֲקֶה לְגַגֶּךָ וְלֹֽא-תָשִׂים דָּמִים בְּבֵיתֶךָ כִּֽי-יִפֹּל הַנֹּפֵל מִמֶּֽנּוּ׃
When thou buildest a new house, then thou shalt make a battlement for thy roof, that thou bring not blood upon thine house, if any man fall from thence.
אָרוּר לֹקֵחַ שֹׁחַד לְהַכּוֹת נֶפֶשׁ דָּם נָקִי וְאָמַר כָּל-הָעָם אָמֵֽן׃
Cursed be he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person. And all the people shall say, Amen.
חֶמְאַת בָּקָר וַֽחֲלֵב צֹאן עִם-חֵלֶב כָּרִים וְאֵילִים בְּנֵֽי-בָשָׁן וְעַתּוּדִים עִם-חֵלֶב כִּלְיוֹת חִטָּה וְדַם-עֵנָב תִּשְׁתֶּה-חָֽמֶר׃
Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape.
אַשְׁכִּיר חִצַּי מִדָּם וְחַרְבִּי תֹּאכַל בָּשָׂר מִדַּם חָלָל וְשִׁבְיָה מֵרֹאשׁ פַּרְעוֹת אוֹיֵֽב׃
I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy.
הַרְנִינוּ גוֹיִם עַמּוֹ כִּי דַם-עֲבָדָיו יִקּוֹם וְנָקָם יָשִׁיב לְצָרָיו וְכִפֶּר אַדְמָתוֹ עַמּֽוֹ׃
Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, and to his people.
וְהָיָה כֹּל אֲשֶׁר-יֵצֵא מִדַּלְתֵי בֵיתֵךְ׀ הַחוּצָה דָּמוֹ בְרֹאשׁוֹ וַֽאֲנַחְנוּ נְקִיִּם וְכֹל אֲשֶׁר יִֽהְיֶה אִתָּךְ בַּבַּיִת דָּמוֹ בְרֹאשֵׁנוּ אִם-יָד תִּֽהְיֶה-בּֽוֹ׃
And it shall be, that whosoever shall go out of the doors of thy house into the street, his blood shall be upon his head, and we will be guiltless: and whosoever shall be with thee in the house, his blood shall be on our head, if any hand be upon him.
לָנוּס שָׁמָּה רוֹצֵחַ מַכֵּה-נֶפֶשׁ בִּשְׁגָגָה בִּבְלִי-דָעַת וְהָיוּ לָכֶם לְמִקְלָט מִגֹּאֵל הַדָּֽם׃
That the slayer that killeth any person unawares and unwittingly may flee thither: and they shall be your refuge from the avenger of blood.
וְכִי יִרְדֹּף גֹּאֵל הַדָּם אַֽחֲרָיו וְלֹֽא-יַסְגִּרוּ אֶת-הָֽרֹצֵחַ בְּיָדוֹ כִּי בִבְלִי-דַעַת הִכָּה אֶת-רֵעֵהוּ וְלֹֽא-שֹׂנֵא הוּא לוֹ מִתְּמוֹל שִׁלְשֽׁוֹם׃
And if the avenger of blood pursue after him, then they shall not deliver the slayer up into his hand; because he smote his neighbour unwittingly, and hated him not beforetime.
אֵלֶּה הָיוּ עָרֵי הַמּֽוּעָדָה לְכֹל׀ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְלַגֵּר הַגָּר בְּתוֹכָם לָנוּס שָׁמָּה כָּל-מַכֵּה-נֶפֶשׁ בִּשְׁגָגָה וְלֹא יָמוּת בְּיַד גֹּאֵל הַדָּם עַד-עָמְדוֹ לִפְנֵי הָֽעֵדָֽה׃
These were the cities appointed for all the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them, that whosoever killeth any person at unawares might flee thither, and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until he stood before the congregation.
לָבוֹא חֲמַס שִׁבְעִים בְּנֵֽי-יְרֻבָּעַל וְדָמָם לָשׂוּם עַל-אֲבִימֶלֶךְ אֲחִיהֶם אֲשֶׁר הָרַג אוֹתָם וְעַל בַּֽעֲלֵי שְׁכֶם אֲשֶׁר-חִזְּקוּ אֶת-יָדָיו לַֽהֲרֹג אֶת-אֶחָֽיו׃
That the cruelty done to the threescore and ten sons of Jerubbaal might come, and their blood be laid upon Abimelech their brother, which slew them; and upon the men of Shechem, which aided him in the killing of his brethren.
(ויעש) וַיַּעַט הָעָם אֶל-(שלל) הַשָּׁלָל וַיִּקְחוּ צֹאן וּבָקָר וּבְנֵי בָקָר וַיִּשְׁחֲטוּ-אָרְצָה וַיֹּאכַל הָעָם עַל-הַדָּֽם׃
And the people flew upon the spoil, and took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and slew them on the ground: and the people did eat them with the blood.
וַיַּגִּידוּ לְשָׁאוּל לֵאמֹר הִנֵּה הָעָם חֹטִאים לַֽיהוָה לֶֽאֱכֹל עַל-הַדָּם וַיֹּאמֶר בְּגַדְתֶּם גֹּלּוּ-אֵלַי הַיּוֹם אֶבֶן גְּדוֹלָֽה׃
Then they told Saul, saying, Behold, the people sin against the LORD, in that they eat with the blood. And he said, Ye have transgressed: roll a great stone unto me this day.
וַיֹּאמֶר שָׁאוּל פֻּצוּ בָעָם וַֽאֲמַרְתֶּם לָהֶם הַגִּישׁוּ אֵלַי אִישׁ שׁוֹרוֹ וְאִישׁ שְׂיֵהוּ וּשְׁחַטְתֶּם בָּזֶה וַֽאֲכַלְתֶּם וְלֹֽא-תֶחֶטְאוּ לַֽיהוָה לֶֽאֱכֹל אֶל-הַדָּם וַיַּגִּשׁוּ כָל-הָעָם אִישׁ שׁוֹרוֹ בְיָדוֹ הַלַּיְלָה וַיִּשְׁחֲטוּ-שָֽׁם׃
And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people, and say unto them, Bring me hither every man his ox, and every man his sheep, and slay them here, and eat; and sin not against the LORD in eating with the blood. And all the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and slew them there.
וַיָּשֶׂם אֶת-נַפְשׁוֹ בְכַפּוֹ וַיַּךְ אֶת-הַפְּלִשְׁתִּי וַיַּעַשׂ יְהוָה תְּשׁוּעָה גְדוֹלָה לְכָל-יִשְׂרָאֵל רָאִיתָ וַתִּשְׂמָח וְלָמָּה תֶֽחֱטָא בְּדָם נָקִי לְהָמִית אֶת-דָּוִד חִנָּֽם׃
For he did put his life in his hand, and slew the Philistine, and the LORD wrought a great salvation for all Israel: thou sawest it, and didst rejoice: wherefore then wilt thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David without a cause?
וְעַתָּה אֲדֹנִי חַי-יְהוָה וְחֵֽי-נַפְשְׁךָ אֲשֶׁר מְנָֽעֲךָ יְהוָה מִבּוֹא בְדָמִים וְהוֹשֵׁעַ יָֽדְךָ לָךְ וְעַתָּה יִֽהְיוּ כְנָבָל אֹֽיְבֶיךָ וְהַֽמְבַקְשִׁים אֶל-אֲדֹנִי רָעָֽה׃
Now therefore, my lord, as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, seeing the LORD hath withholden thee from coming to shed blood, and from avenging thyself with thine own hand, now let thine enemies, and they that seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.
וְלֹא תִֽהְיֶה זֹאת׀ לְךָ לְפוּקָה וּלְמִכְשׁוֹל לֵב לַֽאדֹנִי וְלִשְׁפָּךְ-דָּם חִנָּם וּלְהוֹשִׁיעַ אֲדֹנִי לוֹ וְהֵיטִב יְהוָה לַֽאדֹנִי וְזָֽכַרְתָּ אֶת-אֲמָתֶֽךָ׃
That this shall be no grief unto thee, nor offence of heart unto my lord, either that thou hast shed blood causeless, or that my lord hath avenged himself: but when the LORD shall have dealt well with my lord, then remember thine handmaid.
וּבָרוּךְ טַעְמֵךְ וּבְרוּכָה אָתְּ אֲשֶׁר כְּלִתִנִי הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה מִבּוֹא בְדָמִים וְהֹשֵׁעַ יָדִי לִֽי׃
And blessed be thy advice, and blessed be thou, which hast kept me this day from coming to shed blood, and from avenging myself with mine own hand.
וְעַתָּה אַל-יִפֹּל דָּמִי אַרְצָה מִנֶּגֶד פְּנֵי יְהוָה כִּֽי-יָצָא מֶלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל לְבַקֵּשׁ אֶת-פַּרְעֹשׁ אֶחָד כַּֽאֲשֶׁר יִרְדֹּף הַקֹּרֵא בֶּֽהָרִֽים׃
Now therefore, let not my blood fall to the earth before the face of the LORD: for the king of Israel is come out to seek a flea, as when one doth hunt a partridge in the mountains.
וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו דָּוִד (דמיך) דָּמְךָ עַל-רֹאשֶׁךָ כִּי פִיךָ עָנָה בְךָ לֵאמֹר אָֽנֹכִי מֹתַתִּי אֶת-מְשִׁיחַ יְהוָֽה׃
And David said unto him, Thy blood be upon thy head; for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I have slain the LORD's anointed.
מִדַּם חֲלָלִים מֵחֵלֶב גִּבּוֹרִים קֶשֶׁת יְהוֹנָתָן לֹא נָשׂוֹג אָחוֹר וְחֶרֶב שָׁאוּל לֹא תָשׁוּב רֵיקָֽם׃
From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan turned not back, and the sword of Saul returned not empty.
וַיָּשָׁב אַבְנֵר חֶבְרוֹן וַיַּטֵּהוּ יוֹאָב אֶל-תּוֹךְ הַשַּׁעַר לְדַּבֵּר אִתּוֹ בַּשֶּׁלִי וַיַּכֵּהוּ שָׁם הַחֹמֶשׁ וַיָּמָת בְּדַם עֲשָׂה-אֵל אָחִֽיו׃
And when Abner was returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside in the gate to speak with him quietly, and smote him there under the fifth rib, that he died, for the blood of Asahel his brother.
וַיִּשְׁמַע דָּוִד מֵאַחֲרֵי כֵן וַיֹּאמֶר נָקִי אָֽנֹכִי וּמַמְלַכְתִּי מֵעִם יְהוָה עַד-עוֹלָם מִדְּמֵי אַבְנֵר בֶּן-נֵֽר׃
And afterward when David heard it, he said, I and my kingdom are guiltless before the LORD for ever from the blood of Abner the son of Ner:
אַף כִּֽי-אֲנָשִׁים רְשָׁעִים הָֽרְגוּ אֶת-אִישׁ-צַדִּיק בְּבֵיתוֹ עַל-מִשְׁכָּבוֹ וְעַתָּה הֲלוֹא אֲבַקֵּשׁ אֶת-דָּמוֹ מִיֶּדְכֶם וּבִֽעַרְתִּי אֶתְכֶם מִן-הָאָֽרֶץ׃
How much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous person in his own house upon his bed? shall I not therefore now require his blood of your hand, and take you away from the earth?
וַתֹּאמֶר יִזְכָּר-נָא הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶת-יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ (מהרבית) מֵהַרְבַּת גֹּאֵל הַדָּם לְשַׁחֵת וְלֹא יַשְׁמִידוּ אֶת-בְּנִי וַיֹּאמֶר חַי-יְהוָה אִם-יִפֹּל מִשַּֽׂעֲרַת בְּנֵךְ אָֽרְצָה׃
Then said she, I pray thee, let the king remember the LORD thy God, that thou wouldest not suffer the revengers of blood to destroy any more, lest they destroy my son. And he said, As the LORD liveth, there shall not one hair of thy son fall to the earth.
וְכֹֽה-אָמַר שִׁמְעִי בְּקַֽלְלוֹ צֵא צֵא אִישׁ הַדָּמִים וְאִישׁ הַבְּלִיָּֽעַל׃
And thus said Shimei when he cursed, Come out, come out, thou bloody man, and thou man of Belial:
הֵשִׁיב עָלֶיךָ יְהוָה כֹּל׀ דְּמֵי בֵית-שָׁאוּל אֲשֶׁר מָלַכְתָּ (תחתו) תַּחְתָּיו וַיִּתֵּן יְהוָה אֶת-הַמְּלוּכָה בְּיַד אַבְשָׁלוֹם בְּנֶךָ וְהִנְּךָ בְּרָעָתֶךָ כִּי אִישׁ דָּמִים אָֽתָּה׃
The LORD hath returned upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned; and the LORD hath delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son: and, behold, thou art taken in thy mischief, because thou art a bloody man.
וַֽעֲמָשָׂא מִתְגֹּלֵל בַּדָּם בְּתוֹךְ הַֽמְסִלָּה וַיַּרְא הָאִישׁ כִּֽי-עָמַד כָּל-הָעָם וַיַּסֵּב אֶת-עֲמָשָׂא מִן-הַֽמְסִלָּה הַשָּׂדֶה וַיַּשְׁלֵךְ עָלָיו בֶּגֶד כַּֽאֲשֶׁר רָאָה כָּל-הַבָּא עָלָיו וְעָמָֽד׃
And Amasa wallowed in blood in the midst of the highway. And when the man saw that all the people stood still, he removed Amasa out of the highway into the field, and cast a cloth upon him, when he saw that every one that came by him stood still.
וַיְהִי רָעָב בִּימֵי דָוִד שָׁלֹשׁ שָׁנִים שָׁנָה אַֽחֲרֵי שָׁנָה וַיְבַקֵּשׁ דָּוִד אֶת-פְּנֵי יְהוָה וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל-שָׁאוּל וְאֶל-בֵּית הַדָּמִים עַל-אֲשֶׁר-הֵמִית אֶת-הַגִּבְעֹנִֽים׃
Then there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David inquired of the LORD. And the LORD answered, It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he slew the Gibeonites.
וַיֹּאמֶר חָלִילָה לִּי יְהוָה מֵֽעֲשֹׂתִי זֹאת הֲדַם הָֽאֲנָשִׁים הַהֹֽלְכִים בְּנַפְשׁוֹתָם וְלֹא אָבָה לִשְׁתּוֹתָם אֵלֶּה עָשׂוּ שְׁלֹשֶׁת הַגִּבֹּרִֽים׃
And he said, Be it far from me, O LORD, that I should do this: is not this the blood of the men that went in jeopardy of their lives? therefore he would not drink it. These things did these three mighty men.
וְגַם אַתָּה יָדַעְתָּ אֵת אֲשֶׁר-עָשָׂה לִי יוֹאָב בֶּן-צְרוּיָה אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה לִשְׁנֵֽי-שָׂרֵי צִבְאוֹת יִשְׂרָאֵל לְאַבְנֵר בֶּן-נֵר וְלַֽעֲמָשָׂא בֶן-יֶתֶר וַיַּהַרְגֵם וַיָּשֶׂם דְּמֵֽי-מִלְחָמָה בְּשָׁלֹם וַיִּתֵּן דְּמֵי מִלְחָמָה בַּחֲגֹֽרָתוֹ אֲשֶׁר בְּמָתְנָיו וּֽבְנַעֲלוֹ אֲשֶׁר בְּרַגְלָֽיו׃
Moreover thou knowest also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, and what he did to the two captains of the hosts of Israel, unto Abner the son of Ner, and unto Amasa the son of Jether, whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war upon his girdle that was about his loins, and in his shoes that were on his feet.
וְעַתָּה אַל-תְּנַקֵּהוּ כִּי אִישׁ חָכָם אָתָּה וְיָֽדַעְתָּ אֵת אֲשֶׁר תַּֽעֲשֶׂה-לּוֹ וְהֽוֹרַדְתָּ אֶת-שֵֽׂיבָתוֹ בְּדָם שְׁאֽוֹל׃
Now therefore hold him not guiltless: for thou art a wise man, and knowest what thou oughtest to do unto him; but his hoar head bring thou down to the grave with blood.
וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ הַמֶּלֶךְ עֲשֵׂה כַּֽאֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר וּפְגַע-בּוֹ וּקְבַרְתּוֹ וַֽהֲסִירֹתָ׀ דְּמֵי חִנָּם אֲשֶׁר שָׁפַךְ יוֹאָב מֵֽעָלַי וּמֵעַל בֵּית אָבִֽי׃
And the king said unto him, Do as he hath said, and fall upon him, and bury him; that thou mayest take away the innocent blood, which Joab shed, from me, and from the house of my father.
וְהֵשִׁיב יְהוָה אֶת-דָּמוֹ עַל-רֹאשׁוֹ אֲשֶׁר פָּגַע בִּשְׁנֵֽי-אֲנָשִׁים צַדִּקִים וְטֹבִים מִמֶּנּוּ וַיַּֽהַרְגֵם בַּחֶרֶב וְאָבִי דָוִד לֹא יָדָע אֶת-אַבְנֵר בֶּן-נֵר שַׂר-צְבָא יִשְׂרָאֵל וְאֶת-עֲמָשָׂא בֶן-יֶתֶר שַׂר-צְבָא יְהוּדָֽה׃
And the LORD shall return his blood upon his own head, who fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with the sword, my father David not knowing thereof, to wit, Abner the son of Ner, captain of the host of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the host of Judah.
וְשָׁבוּ דְמֵיהֶם בְּרֹאשׁ יוֹאָב וּבְרֹאשׁ זַרְעוֹ לְעֹלָם וּלְדָוִד וּלְזַרְעוֹ וּלְבֵיתוֹ וּלְכִסְאוֹ יִֽהְיֶה שָׁלוֹם עַד-עוֹלָם מֵעִם יְהוָֽה׃
Their blood shall therefore return upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever: but upon David, and upon his seed, and upon his house, and upon his throne, shall there be peace for ever from the LORD.
וְהָיָה׀ בְּיוֹם צֵֽאתְךָ וְעָֽבַרְתָּ אֶת-נַחַל קִדְרוֹן יָדֹעַ תֵּדַע כִּי מוֹת תָּמוּת דָּֽמְךָ יִֽהְיֶה בְרֹאשֶֽׁךָ׃
For it shall be, that on the day thou goest out, and passest over the brook Kidron, thou shalt know for certain that thou shalt surely die: thy blood shall be upon thine own head.
וַֽיִּקְרְאוּ בְּקוֹל גָּדוֹל וַיִּתְגֹּֽדְדוּ כְּמִשְׁפָּטָם בַּֽחֲרָבוֹת וּבָֽרְמָחִים עַד-שְׁפָךְ-דָּם עֲלֵיהֶֽם׃
And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them.
וְדִבַּרְתָּ אֵלָיו לֵאמֹר כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה הֲרָצַחְתָּ וְגַם-יָרָשְׁתָּ וְדִבַּרְתָּ אֵלָיו לֵאמֹר כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה בִּמְקוֹם אֲשֶׁר לָֽקְקוּ הַכְּלָבִים אֶת-דַּם נָבוֹת יָלֹקּוּ הַכְּלָבִים אֶת-דָּֽמְךָ גַּם-אָֽתָּה׃
And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou killed, and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine.
וַתַּֽעֲלֶה הַמִּלְחָמָה בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא וְהַמֶּלֶךְ הָיָה מָֽעֳמָד בַּמֶּרְכָּבָה נֹכַח אֲרָם וַיָּמָת בָּעֶרֶב וַיִּצֶק דַּֽם-הַמַּכָּה אֶל-חֵיק הָרָֽכֶב׃
And the battle increased that day: and the king was stayed up in his chariot against the Syrians, and died at even: and the blood ran out of the wound into the midst of the chariot.
וַיִּשְׁטֹף אֶת-הָרֶכֶב עַל׀ בְּרֵכַת שֹֽׁמְרוֹן וַיָּלֹקּוּ הַכְּלָבִים אֶת-דָּמוֹ וְהַזֹּנוֹת רָחָצוּ כִּדְבַר יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר דִּבֵּֽר׃
And one washed the chariot in the pool of Samaria; and the dogs licked up his blood; and they washed his armour; according unto the word of the LORD which he spake.
וַיַּשְׁכִּימוּ בַבֹּקֶר וְהַשֶּׁמֶשׁ זָֽרְחָה עַל-הַמָּיִם וַיִּרְאוּ מוֹאָב מִנֶּגֶד אֶת-הַמַּיִם אֲדֻמִּים כַּדָּֽם׃
And they rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone upon the water, and the Moabites saw the water on the other side as red as blood:
וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ דָּם זֶה הָֽחֳרֵב נֶֽחֶרְבוּ הַמְּלָכִים וַיַּכּוּ אִישׁ אֶת-רֵעֵהוּ וְעַתָּה לַשָּׁלָל מוֹאָֽב׃
And they said, This is blood: the kings are surely slain, and they have smitten one another: now therefore, Moab, to the spoil.
וְהִכִּיתָה אֶת-בֵּית אַחְאָב אֲדֹנֶיךָ וְנִקַּמְתִּי דְּמֵי׀ עֲבָדַי הַנְּבִיאִים וּדְמֵי כָּל-עַבְדֵי יְהוָה מִיַּד אִיזָֽבֶל׃
And thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy master, that I may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the LORD, at the hand of Jezebel.
אִם-לֹא אֶת-דְּמֵי נָבוֹת וְאֶת-דְּמֵי בָנָיו רָאִיתִי אֶמֶשׁ נְאֻם-יְהוָה וְשִׁלַּמְתִּי לְךָ בַּחֶלְקָה הַזֹּאת נְאֻם-יְהוָה וְעַתָּה שָׂא הַשְׁלִכֵהוּ בַּחֶלְקָה כִּדְבַר יְהוָֽה׃
Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons, saith the LORD; and I will requite thee in this plat, saith the LORD. Now therefore take and cast him into the plat of ground, according to the word of the LORD.
וַיֹּאמֶר (שמטהו) שִׁמְטוּהָ וַֽיִּשְׁמְטוּהָ וַיִּז מִדָּמָהּ אֶל-הַקִּיר וְאֶל-הַסּוּסִים וַֽיִּרְמְסֶֽנָּה׃
And he said, Throw her down. So they threw her down: and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses: and he trode her under foot.
וַיַּקְטֵר אֶת-עֹֽלָתוֹ וְאֶת-מִנְחָתוֹ וַיַּסֵּךְ אֶת-נִסְכּוֹ וַיִּזְרֹק אֶת-דַּֽם-הַשְּׁלָמִים אֲשֶׁר-לוֹ עַל-הַמִּזְבֵּֽחַ׃
And he burnt his burnt offering and his meat offering, and poured his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings, upon the altar.
(ויצוהו) וַיְצַוֶּה הַמֶּֽלֶךְ-אָחָז אֶת-אֽוּרִיָּה הַכֹּהֵן לֵאמֹר עַל הַמִּזְבֵּחַ הַגָּדוֹל הַקְטֵר אֶת-עֹֽלַת-הַבֹּקֶר וְאֶת-מִנְחַת הָעֶרֶב וְֽאֶת-עֹלַת הַמֶּלֶךְ וְאֶת-מִנְחָתוֹ וְאֵת עֹלַת כָּל-עַם הָאָרֶץ וּמִנְחָתָם וְנִסְכֵּיהֶם וְכָל-דַּם עֹלָה וְכָל-דַּם-זֶבַח עָלָיו תִּזְרֹק וּמִזְבַּח הַנְּחֹשֶׁת יִֽהְיֶה-לִּי לְבַקֵּֽר׃
And king Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest, saying, Upon the great altar burn the morning burnt offering, and the evening meat offering, and the king's burnt sacrifice, and his meat offering, with the burnt offering of all the people of the land, and their meat offering, and their drink offerings; and sprinkle upon it all the blood of the burnt offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice: and the brasen altar shall be for me to inquire by.
וְגַם דָּם נָקִי שָׁפַךְ מְנַשֶּׁה הַרְבֵּה מְאֹד עַד אֲשֶׁר-מִלֵּא אֶת-יְרֽוּשָׁלִַם פֶּה לָפֶה לְבַד מֵֽחַטָּאתוֹ אֲשֶׁר הֶֽחֱטִיא אֶת-יְהוּדָה לַֽעֲשׂוֹת הָרַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָֽה׃
Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, till he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another; beside his sin wherewith he made Judah to sin, in doing that which was evil in the sight of the LORD.
וְגַם דַּֽם-הַנָּקִי אֲשֶׁר שָׁפָךְ וַיְמַלֵּא אֶת-יְרֽוּשָׁלִַם דָּם נָקִי וְלֹֽא-אָבָה יְהוָה לִסְלֹֽחַ׃
And also for the innocent blood that he shed: for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; which the LORD would not pardon.
וַיֹּאמֶר חָלִילָה לִּי מֵֽאֱלֹהַי מֵֽעֲשׂוֹת זֹאת הֲדַם הָֽאֲנָשִׁים הָאֵלֶּה אֶשְׁתֶּה בְנַפְשׁוֹתָם כִּי בְנַפְשׁוֹתָם הֱבִיאוּם וְלֹא אָבָה לִשְׁתּוֹתָם אֵלֶּה עָשׂוּ שְׁלֹשֶׁת הַגִּבּוֹרִֽים׃
And said, My God forbid it me, that I should do this thing: shall I drink the blood of these men that have put their lives in jeopardy? for with the jeopardy of their lives they brought it. Therefore he would not drink it. These things did these three mightiest.
וַיְהִי עָלַי דְּבַר-יְהוָה לֵאמֹר דָּם לָרֹב שָׁפַכְתָּ וּמִלְחָמוֹת גְּדֹלוֹת עָשִׂיתָ לֹֽא-תִבְנֶה בַיִת לִשְׁמִי כִּי דָּמִים רַבִּים שָׁפַכְתָּ אַרְצָה לְפָנָֽי׃
But the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars: thou shalt not build an house unto my name, because thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in my sight.
וְהָֽאֱלֹהִים אָמַר לִי לֹֽא-תִבְנֶה בַיִת לִשְׁמִי כִּי אִישׁ מִלְחָמוֹת אַתָּה וְדָמִים שָׁפָֽכְתָּ׃
But God said unto me, Thou shalt not build an house for my name, because thou hast been a man of war, and hast shed blood.
וְכָל-רִיב אֲשֶׁר-יָבוֹא עֲלֵיכֶם מֵֽאֲחֵיכֶם׀ הַיֹּֽשְׁבִים בְּעָֽרֵיהֶם בֵּֽין-דָּם׀ לְדָם בֵּין-תּוֹרָה לְמִצְוָה לְחֻקִּים וּלְמִשְׁפָּטִים וְהִזְהַרְתֶּם אֹתָם וְלֹא יֶאְשְׁמוּ לַֽיהוָה וְהָֽיָה-קֶצֶף עֲלֵיכֶם וְעַל-אֲחֵיכֶם כֹּה תַֽעֲשׂוּן וְלֹא תֶאְשָֽׁמוּ׃
And what cause soever shall come to you of your brethren that dwell in their cities, between blood and blood, between law and commandment, statutes and judgments, ye shall even warn them that they trespass not against the LORD, and so wrath come upon you, and upon your brethren: this do, and ye shall not trespass.
וּבְלֶכְתָּם מִמֶּנּוּ כִּֽי-עָזְבוּ אֹתוֹ (במחליים) בְּמַחֲלוּיִם רַבִּים הִתְקַשְּׁרוּ עָלָיו עֲבָדָיו בִּדְמֵי בְּנֵי יְהֽוֹיָדָע הַכֹּהֵן וַיַּֽהַרְגֻהוּ עַל-מִטָּתוֹ וַיָּמֹת וַֽיִּקְבְּרֻהוּ בְּעִיר דָּוִיד וְלֹא קְבָרֻהוּ בְּקִבְרוֹת הַמְּלָכִֽים׃
And when they were departed from him, (for they left him in great diseases,) his own servants conspired against him for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest, and slew him on his bed, and he died: and they buried him in the city of David, but they buried him not in the sepulchres of the kings.
וַֽיִּשְׁחֲטוּ הַבָּקָר וַיְקַבְּלוּ הַכֹּֽהֲנִים אֶת-הַדָּם וַֽיִּזְרְקוּ הַמִּזְבֵּחָה וַיִּשְׁחֲטוּ הָֽאֵלִים וַיִּזְרְקוּ הַדָּם הַמִּזְבֵּחָה וַֽיִּשְׁחֲטוּ הַכְּבָשִׂים וַיִּזְרְקוּ הַדָּם הַמִּזְבֵּֽחָה׃
So they killed the bullocks, and the priests received the blood, and sprinkled it on the altar: likewise, when they had killed the rams, they sprinkled the blood upon the altar: they killed also the lambs, and they sprinkled the blood upon the altar.
וַיִּשְׁחָטוּם הַכֹּהֲנִים וַֽיְחַטְּאוּ אֶת-דָּמָם הַמִּזְבֵּחָה לְכַפֵּר עַל-כָּל-יִשְׂרָאֵל כִּי לְכָל-יִשְׂרָאֵל אָמַר הַמֶּלֶךְ הָֽעוֹלָה וְהַֽחַטָּֽאת׃
And the priests killed them, and they made reconciliation with their blood upon the altar, to make an atonement for all Israel: for the king commanded that the burnt offering and the sin offering should be made for all Israel.
וַיַּֽעַמְדוּ עַל-עָמְדָם כְּמִשְׁפָּטָם כְּתוֹרַת מֹשֶׁה אִישׁ-הָֽאֱלֹהִים הַכֹּֽהֲנִים זֹֽרְקִים אֶת-הַדָּם מִיַּד הַלְוִיִּֽם׃
And they stood in their place after their manner, according to the law of Moses the man of God: the priests sprinkled the blood, which they received of the hand of the Levites.
אֶרֶץ אַל-תְּכַסִּי דָמִי וְֽאַל-יְהִי מָקוֹם לְזַעֲקָתִֽי׃
O earth, cover not thou my blood, and let my cry have no place.
(ואפרחו) וְאֶפְרֹחָיו יְעַלְעוּ-דָם וּבַאֲשֶׁר חֲלָלִים שָׁם הֽוּא׃
Her young ones also suck up blood: and where the slain are, there is she.
תְּאַבֵּד דֹּבְרֵי כָזָב אִישׁ-דָּמִים וּמִרְמָה יְתָעֵב׀ יְהוָֽה׃
Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.
כִּֽי-דֹרֵשׁ דָּמִים אוֹתָם זָכָר לֹֽא-שָׁכַח צַעֲקַת עֲנָוִֽים׃
When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.
יִרְבּוּ עַצְּבוֹתָם אַחֵר מָהָרוּ בַּל-אַסִּיךְ נִסְכֵּיהֶם מִדָּם וּֽבַל-אֶשָּׂא אֶת-שְׁמוֹתָם עַל-שְׂפָתָֽי׃
Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.
אַל-תֶּאֱסֹף עִם-חַטָּאִים נַפְשִׁי וְעִם-אַנְשֵׁי דָמִים חַיָּֽי׃
Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men:
מַה-בֶּצַע בְּדָמִי בְּרִדְתִּי אֶל שָׁחַת הֲיוֹדְךָ עָפָר הֲיַגִּיד אֲמִתֶּֽךָ׃
What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?
הַֽאוֹכַל בְּשַׂר אַבִּירִים וְדַם עַתּוּדִים אֶשְׁתֶּֽה׃
Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
הַצִּילֵנִי מִדָּמִים׀ אֱֽלֹהִים אֱלֹהֵי תְּשׁוּעָתִי תְּרַנֵּן לְשׁוֹנִי צִדְקָתֶֽךָ׃
Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
וְאַתָּה אֱלֹהִים׀ תּוֹרִדֵם׀ לִבְאֵר שַׁחַת אַנְשֵׁי דָמִים וּמִרְמָה לֹא-יֶחֱצוּ יְמֵיהֶם וַאֲנִי אֶבְטַח-בָּֽךְ׃
But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee.
יִשְׂמַח צַדִּיק כִּי-חָזָה נָקָם פְּעָמָיו יִרְחַץ בְּדַם הָרָשָֽׁע׃
The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
הַצִּילֵנִי מִפֹּעֲלֵי אָוֶן וּֽמֵאַנְשֵׁי דָמִים הוֹשִׁיעֵֽנִי׃
Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.
לְמַעַן׀ תִּֽמְחַץ רַגְלְךָ בְּדָם לְשׁוֹן כְּלָבֶיךָ מֵאֹיְבִים מִנֵּֽהוּ׃
That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thine enemies, and the tongue of thy dogs in the same.
מִתּוֹךְ וּמֵחָמָס יִגְאַל נַפְשָׁם וְיֵיקַר דָּמָם בְּעֵינָֽיו׃
He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight.
וַיַּהֲפֹךְ לְדָם יְאֹרֵיהֶם וְנֹזְלֵיהֶם בַּל-יִשְׁתָּיֽוּן׃
And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they could not drink.
שָׁפְכוּ דָמָם׀ כַּמַּיִם סְֽבִיבוֹת יְֽרוּשָׁלִָם וְאֵין קוֹבֵֽר׃
Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them.
לָמָּה׀ יֹאמְרוּ הַגּוֹיִם אַיֵּה אֱֽלֹהֵיהֶם יִוָּדַע בַּגּוֹיִם לְעֵינֵינוּ נִקְמַת דַּֽם-עֲבָדֶיךָ הַשָּׁפֽוּךְ׃
Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God? let him be known among the heathen in our sight by the revenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed.
יָגוֹדּוּ עַל-נֶפֶשׁ צַדִּיק וְדָם נָקִי יַרְשִֽׁיעוּ׃
They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
הָפַךְ אֶת-מֵימֵיהֶם לְדָם וַיָּמֶת אֶת-דְּגָתָֽם׃
He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.
וַיִּֽשְׁפְּכוּ דָם נָקִי דַּם-בְּנֵיהֶם וּֽבְנוֹתֵיהֶם אֲשֶׁר זִבְּחוּ לַעֲצַבֵּי כְנָעַן וַתֶּחֱנַף הָאָרֶץ בַּדָּמִֽים׃
And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.
אִם-תִּקְטֹל אֱלוֹהַּ׀ רָשָׁע וְאַנְשֵׁי דָמִים סוּרוּ מֶֽנִּי׃
Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.
אִם-יֹאמְרוּ לְכָה אִתָּנוּ נֶאֶרְבָה לְדָם נִצְפְּנָה לְנָקִי חִנָּֽם׃
If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:
כִּי רַגְלֵיהֶם לָרַע יָרוּצוּ וִֽימַהֲרוּ לִשְׁפָּךְ-דָּֽם׃
For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.
וְהֵם לְדָמָם יֶאֱרֹבוּ יִצְפְּנוּ לְנַפְשֹׁתָֽם׃
And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.
