And the angel of the LORD said unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.
אֲנִי הִנֵּה בְרִיתִי אִתָּךְ וְהָיִיתָ לְאַב הֲמוֹן גּוֹיִֽם׃
As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.
וְלֹֽא-יִקָּרֵא עוֹד אֶת-שִׁמְךָ אַבְרָם וְהָיָה שִׁמְךָ אַבְרָהָם כִּי אַב-הֲמוֹן גּוֹיִם נְתַתִּֽיךָ׃
Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.
וְיִֽתֶּן-לְךָ הָֽאֱלֹהִים מִטַּל הַשָּׁמַיִם וּמִשְׁמַנֵּי הָאָרֶץ וְרֹב דָּגָן וְתִירֹֽשׁ׃
Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine:
כִּי מְעַט אֲשֶׁר-הָיָה לְךָ לְפָנַי וַיִּפְרֹץ לָרֹב וַיְבָרֶךְ יְהוָה אֹֽתְךָ לְרַגְלִי וְעַתָּה מָתַי אֶֽעֱשֶׂה גַם-אָֽנֹכִי לְבֵיתִֽי׃
For it was little which thou hadst before I came, and it is now increased unto a multitude; and the LORD hath blessed thee since my coming: and now when shall I provide for mine own house also?
וְאַתָּה אָמַרְתָּ הֵיטֵב אֵיטִיב עִמָּךְ וְשַׂמְתִּי אֶֽת-זַרְעֲךָ כְּחוֹל הַיָּם אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא-יִסָּפֵר מֵרֹֽב׃
And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.

The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.
וּבְרֹב גְּאֽוֹנְךָ תַּֽהֲרֹס קָמֶיךָ תְּשַׁלַּח חֲרֹנְךָ יֹֽאכְלֵמוֹ כַּקַּֽשׁ׃
And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed them as stubble.
לְפִי׀ רֹב הַשָּׁנִים תַּרְבֶּה מִקְנָתוֹ וּלְפִי מְעֹט הַשָּׁנִים תַּמְעִיט מִקְנָתוֹ כִּי מִסְפַּר תְּבוּאֹת הוּא מֹכֵר לָֽךְ׃
According to the multitude of years thou shalt increase the price thereof, and according to the fewness of years thou shalt diminish the price of it: for according to the number of the years of the fruits doth he sell unto thee.
יְהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם הִרְבָּה אֶתְכֶם וְהִנְּכֶם הַיּוֹם כְּכֽוֹכְבֵי הַשָּׁמַיִם לָרֹֽב׃
The LORD your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.
לֹא מֵֽרֻבְּכֶם מִכָּל-הָֽעַמִּים חָשַׁק יְהוָה בָּכֶם וַיִּבְחַר בָּכֶם כִּֽי-אַתֶּם הַמְעַט מִכָּל-הָֽעַמִּֽים׃
The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people:
בְּשִׁבְעִים נֶפֶשׁ יָֽרְדוּ אֲבֹתֶיךָ מִצְרָיְמָה וְעַתָּה שָֽׂמְךָ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ כְּכֽוֹכְבֵי הַשָּׁמַיִם לָרֹֽב׃

Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things;
וְנִשְׁאַרְתֶּם בִּמְתֵי מְעָט תַּחַת אֲשֶׁר הֱיִיתֶם כְּכֽוֹכְבֵי הַשָּׁמַיִם לָרֹב כִּי-לֹא שָׁמַעְתָּ בְּקוֹל יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶֽיךָ׃
And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not obey the voice of the LORD thy God.

And they went out, they and all their hosts with them, much people, even as the sand that is upon the sea shore in multitude, with horses and chariots very many.
וּמָֽשַׁכְתִּי אֵלֶיךָ אֶל-נַחַל קִישׁוֹן אֶת-סִֽיסְרָא שַׂר-צְבָא יָבִין וְאֶת-רִכְבּוֹ וְאֶת-הֲמוֹנוֹ וּנְתַתִּיהוּ בְּיָדֶֽךָ׃

Count not thine handmaid for a daughter of Belial: for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken hitherto.
וַיִּשְׁמַע עֵלִי אֶת-קוֹל הַצְּעָקָה וַיֹּאמֶר מֶה קוֹל הֶֽהָמוֹן הַזֶּה וְהָאִישׁ מִהַר וַיָּבֹא וַיַּגֵּד לְעֵלִֽי׃
And when Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, What meaneth the noise of this tumult? And the man came in hastily, and told Eli.

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.
וַיַּעַן אֶחָד מֵֽעֲבָדָיו וַיֹּאמֶר וְיִקְחוּ-נָא חֲמִשָּׁה מִן-הַסּוּסִים הַֽנִּשְׁאָרִים אֲשֶׁר נִשְׁאֲרוּ-בָהּ הִנָּם כְּכָל-(ההמון) הֲמוֹן יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר נִשְׁאֲרוּ-בָהּ הִנָּם כְּכָל-הֲמוֹן יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר-תָּמּוּ וְנִשְׁלְחָה וְנִרְאֶֽה׃
And one of his servants answered and said, Let some take, I pray thee, five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city, (behold, they are as all the multitude of Israel that are left in it: behold, I say, they are even as all the multitude of the Israelites that are consumed:) and let us send and see.
בְּיַד מַלְאָכֶיךָ חֵרַפְתָּ׀ אֲדֹנָי וַתֹּאמֶר (ברכב) בְּרֹב רִכְבִּי אֲנִי עָלִיתִי מְרוֹם הָרִים יַרְכְּתֵי לְבָנוֹן וְאֶכְרֹת קוֹמַת אֲרָזָיו מִבְחוֹר בְּרֹשָׁיו וְאָבוֹאָה מְלוֹן קִצֹּה יַעַר כַּרְמִלּֽוֹ׃

וְאֵת יֶתֶר הָעָם הַנִּשְׁאָרִים בָּעִיר וְאֶת-הַנֹּֽפְלִים אֲשֶׁר נָֽפְלוּ עַל-הַמֶּלֶךְ בָּבֶל וְאֵת יֶתֶר הֶֽהָמוֹן הֶגְלָה נְבֽוּזַרְאֲדָן רַב-טַבָּחִֽים׃

These mentioned by their names were princes in their families: and the house of their fathers increased greatly.
וְגַם הַקְּרֽוֹבִים-אֲלֵיהֶם עַד-יִשָׂשכָר וּזְבֻלוּן וְנַפְתָּלִי מְבִיאִים לֶחֶם בַּֽחֲמוֹרִים וּבַגְּמַלִּים וּבַפְּרָדִים׀ וּֽבַבָּקָר מַֽאֲכָל קֶמַח דְּבֵלִים וְצִמּוּקִים וְיַֽיִן-וְשֶׁמֶן וּבָקָר וְצֹאן לָרֹב כִּי שִׂמְחָה בְּיִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
Moreover they that were nigh them, even unto Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, brought bread on asses, and on camels, and on mules, and on oxen, and meat, meal, cakes of figs, and bunches of raisins, and wine, and oil, and oxen, and sheep abundantly: for there was joy in Israel.
וּבַרְזֶל׀ לָרֹב לַֽמִּסְמְרִים לְדַלְתוֹת הַשְּׁעָרִים וְלַֽמְחַבְּרוֹת הֵכִין דָּוִיד וּנְחֹשֶׁת לָרֹב אֵין מִשְׁקָֽל׃
And David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates, and for the joinings; and brass in abundance without weight;

Also cedar trees in abundance: for the Zidonians and they of Tyre brought much cedar wood to David.
וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִיד שְׁלֹמֹה בְנִי נַעַר וָרָךְ וְהַבַּיִת לִבְנוֹת לַֽיהוָה לְהַגְדִּיל׀ לְמַעְלָה לְשֵׁם וּלְתִפְאֶרֶת לְכָל-הָאֲרָצוֹת אָכִינָה נָּא לוֹ וַיָּכֶן דָּוִיד לָרֹב לִפְנֵי מוֹתֽוֹ׃
And David said, Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be builded for the LORD must be exceeding magnifical, of fame and of glory throughout all countries: I will therefore now make preparation for it. So David prepared abundantly before his death.
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.
וְהִנֵּה בְעָנְיִי הֲכִינוֹתִי לְבֵית-יְהוָה זָהָב כִּכָּרִים מֵֽאָה-אֶלֶף וְכֶסֶף אֶלֶף אֲלָפִים כִּכָּרִים וְלַנְּחֹשֶׁת וְלַבַּרְזֶל אֵין מִשְׁקָל כִּי לָרֹב הָיָה וְעֵצִים וַֽאֲבָנִים הֲכִינוֹתִי וַֽעֲלֵיהֶם תּוֹסִֽיף׃
Now, behold, in my trouble I have prepared for the house of the LORD an hundred thousand talents of gold, and a thousand thousand talents of silver; and of brass and iron without weight; for it is in abundance: timber also and stone have I prepared; and thou mayest add thereto.
וְעִמְּךָ לָרֹב עֹשֵׂי מְלָאכָה חֹֽצְבִים וְחָֽרָשֵׁי אֶבֶן וָעֵץ וְכָל-חָכָם בְּכָל-מְלָאכָֽה׃
Moreover there are workmen with thee in abundance, hewers and workers of stone and timber, and all manner of cunning men for every manner of work.
וּֽכְכָל-כֹּחִי הֲכִינוֹתִי לְבֵית-אֱלֹהַי הַזָּהָב׀ לַזָּהָב וְהַכֶּסֶף לַכֶּסֶף וְהַנְּחֹשֶׁת לַנְּחֹשֶׁת הַבַּרְזֶל לַבַּרְזֶל וְהָֽעֵצִים לָֽעֵצִים אַבְנֵי-שֹׁהַם וּמִלּוּאִים אַבְנֵי-פוּךְ וְרִקְמָה וְכֹל אֶבֶן יְקָרָה וְאַבְנֵי-שַׁיִשׁ לָרֹֽב׃
Now I have prepared with all my might for the house of my God the gold for things to be made of gold, and the silver for things of silver, and the brass for things of brass, the iron for things of iron, and wood for things of wood; onyx stones, and stones to be set, glistering stones, and of divers colours, and all manner of precious stones, and marble stones in abundance.
יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ כֹל הֶֽהָמוֹן הַזֶּה אֲשֶׁר הֲכִינֹנוּ לִבְנֽוֹת-לְךָ בַיִת לְשֵׁם קָדְשֶׁךָ מִיָּֽדְךָ (היא) הוּא וּלְךָ הַכֹּֽל׃
O LORD our God, all this store that we have prepared to build thee an house for thine holy name cometh of thine hand, and is all thine own.
וַיִּזְבְּחוּ לַֽיהוָה׀ זְבָחִים וַיַּֽעֲלוּ עֹלוֹת לַֽיהוָה לְֽמָחֳרַת הַיּוֹם הַהוּא פָּרִים אֶלֶף אֵלִים אֶלֶף כְּבָשִׂים אֶלֶף וְנִסְכֵּיהֶם וּזְבָחִים לָרֹב לְכָל-יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And they sacrificed sacrifices unto the LORD, and offered burnt offerings unto the LORD, on the morrow after that day, even a thousand bullocks, a thousand rams, and a thousand lambs, with their drink offerings, and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel:
וַיִּתֵּן הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶת-הַכֶּסֶף וְאֶת-הַזָּהָב בִּירֽוּשָׁלִַם כָּֽאֲבָנִים וְאֵת הָֽאֲרָזִים נָתַן כַּשִּׁקְמִים אֲשֶׁר-בַּשְּׁפֵלָה לָרֹֽב׃
And the king made silver and gold at Jerusalem as plenteous as stones, and cedar trees made he as the sycomore trees that are in the vale for abundance.
וּלְהָכִין לִי עֵצִים לָרֹב כִּי הַבַּיִת אֲשֶׁר-אֲנִי בוֹנֶה גָּדוֹל וְהַפְלֵֽא׃
Even to prepare me timber in abundance: for the house which I am about to build shall be wonderful great.
וַיַּעַשׂ שְׁלֹמֹה כָּל-הַכֵּלִים הָאֵלֶּה לָרֹב מְאֹד כִּי לֹא נֶחְקַר מִשְׁקַל הַנְּחֹֽשֶׁת׃
Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance: for the weight of the brass could not be found out.
וְהַמֶּלֶךְ שְׁלֹמֹה וְכָל-עֲדַת יִשְׂרָאֵל הַנּֽוֹעָדִים עָלָיו לִפְנֵי הָֽאָרוֹן מְזַבְּחִים צֹאן וּבָקָר אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא-יִסָּפְרוּ וְלֹא יִמָּנוּ מֵרֹֽב׃
Also king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel that were assembled unto him before the ark, sacrificed sheep and oxen, which could not be told nor numbered for multitude.
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.
וַתִּתֵּן לַמֶּלֶךְ מֵאָה וְעֶשְׂרִים׀ כִּכַּר זָהָב וּבְשָׂמִים לָרֹב מְאֹד וְאֶבֶן יְקָרָה וְלֹא הָיָה כַּבֹּשֶׂם הַהוּא אֲשֶׁר-נָֽתְנָה מַֽלְכַּת-שְׁבָא לַמֶּלֶךְ שְׁלֹמֹֽה׃
And she gave the king an hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices great abundance, and precious stones: neither was there any such spice as the queen of Sheba gave king Solomon.
וַיִּתֵּן הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶת-הַכֶּסֶף בִּירֽוּשָׁלִַם כָּֽאֲבָנִים וְאֵת הָֽאֲרָזִים נָתַן כַּשִּׁקְמִים אֲשֶׁר-בַּשְּׁפֵלָה לָרֹֽב׃
And the king made silver in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar trees made he as the sycomore trees that are in the low plains in abundance.
וַיָּבֶן וַיִּפְרֹץ מִכָּל-בָּנָיו לְֽכָל-אַרְצוֹת יְהוּדָה וּבִנְיָמִן לְכֹל עָרֵי הַמְּצֻרוֹת וַיִּתֵּן לָהֶם הַמָּזוֹן לָרֹב וַיִּשְׁאַל הֲמוֹן נָשִֽׁים׃
And he dealt wisely, and dispersed of all his children throughout all the countries of Judah and Benjamin, unto every fenced city: and he gave them victual in abundance. And he desired many wives.
וְעַתָּה׀ אַתֶּם אֹֽמְרִים לְהִתְחַזֵּק לִפְנֵי מַמְלֶכֶת יְהוָה בְּיַד בְּנֵי דָוִיד וְאַתֶּם הָמוֹן רָב וְעִמָּכֶם עֶגְלֵי זָהָב אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה לָכֶם יָֽרָבְעָם לֵֽאלֹהִֽים׃
And now ye think to withstand the kingdom of the LORD in the hand of the sons of David; and ye be a great multitude, and there are with you golden calves, which Jeroboam made you for gods.
וַיִּקְרָא אָסָא אֶל-יְהוָה אֱלֹהָיו וַיֹּאמַר יְהוָה אֵֽין-עִמְּךָ לַעְזֹר בֵּין רַב לְאֵין כֹּחַ עָזְרֵנוּ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ כִּֽי-עָלֶיךָ נִשְׁעַנּוּ וּבְשִׁמְךָ בָאנוּ עַל-הֶֽהָמוֹן הַזֶּה יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ אַתָּה אַל-יַעְצֹר עִמְּךָ אֱנֽוֹשׁ׃
And Asa cried unto the LORD his God, and said, LORD, it is nothing with thee to help, whether with many, or with them that have no power: help us, O LORD our God; for we rest on thee, and in thy name we go against this multitude. O LORD, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee.
וְגַם-אָֽהֳלֵי מִקְנֶה הִכּוּ וַיִּשְׁבּוּ צֹאן לָרֹב וּגְמַלִּים וַיָּשֻׁבוּ יְרֽוּשָׁלִָֽם׃
They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep and camels in abundance, and returned to Jerusalem.
וַיִּקְבֹּץ אֶת-כָּל-יְהוּדָה וּבִנְיָמִן וְהַגָּרִים עִמָּהֶם מֵֽאֶפְרַיִם וּמְנַשֶּׁה וּמִשִּׁמְעוֹן כִּֽי-נָפְלוּ עָלָיו מִיִּשְׂרָאֵל לָרֹב בִּרְאֹתָם כִּֽי-יְהוָה אֱלֹהָיו עִמּֽוֹ׃
And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and the strangers with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh, and out of Simeon: for they fell to him out of Israel in abundance, when they saw that the LORD his God was with him.
הֲלֹא הַכּוּשִׁים וְהַלּוּבִים הָיוּ לְחַיִל׀ לָרֹב לְרֶכֶב וּלְפָֽרָשִׁים לְהַרְבֵּה מְאֹד וּבְהִשָּֽׁעֶנְךָ עַל-יְהוָה נְתָנָם בְּיָדֶֽךָ׃
Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubims a huge host, with very many chariots and horsemen? yet, because thou didst rely on the LORD, he delivered them into thine hand.
וַיָּכֶן יְהוָה אֶת-הַמַּמְלָכָה בְּיָדוֹ וַיִּתְּנוּ כָל-יְהוּדָה מִנְחָה לִיהֽוֹשָׁפָט וַיְהִי-לוֹ עֹֽשֶׁר-וְכָבוֹד לָרֹֽב׃
Therefore the LORD stablished the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat presents; and he had riches and honour in abundance.
וַיְהִי לִיהֽוֹשָׁפָט עֹשֶׁר וְכָבוֹד לָרֹב וַיִּתְחַתֵּן לְאַחְאָֽב׃
Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honour in abundance, and joined affinity with Ahab.
וַיֵּרֶד לְקֵץ שָׁנִים אֶל-אַחְאָב לְשֹׁמְרוֹן וַיִּֽזְבַּֽח-לוֹ אַחְאָב צֹאן וּבָקָר לָרֹב וְלָעָם אֲשֶׁר עִמּוֹ וַיְסִיתֵהוּ לַֽעֲלוֹת אֶל-רָמֹת גִּלְעָֽד׃
And after certain years he went down to Ahab to Samaria. And Ahab killed sheep and oxen for him in abundance, and for the people that he had with him, and persuaded him to go up with him to Ramoth-gilead.
וַיָּבֹאוּ וַיַּגִּידוּ לִיהֽוֹשָׁפָט לֵאמֹר בָּא עָלֶיךָ הָמוֹן רָב מֵעֵבֶר לַיָּם מֵֽאֲרָם וְהִנָּם בְּחַֽצְצוֹן תָּמָר הִיא עֵין גֶּֽדִי׃
Then there came some that told Jehoshaphat, saying, There cometh a great multitude against thee from beyond the sea on this side Syria; and, behold, they be in Hazazon-tamar, which is En-gedi.
אֱלֹהֵינוּ הֲלֹא תִשְׁפָּט-בָּם כִּי אֵין בָּנוּ כֹּחַ לִפְנֵי הֶֽהָמוֹן הָרָב הַזֶּה הַבָּא עָלֵינוּ וַֽאֲנַחְנוּ לֹא נֵדַע מַֽה-נַּעֲשֶׂה כִּי עָלֶיךָ עֵינֵֽינוּ׃
O our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee.
וַיֹּאמֶר הַקְשִׁיבוּ כָל-יְהוּדָה וְיֹֽשְׁבֵי יְרֽוּשָׁלִַם וְהַמֶּלֶךְ יְהֽוֹשָׁפָט כֹּֽה-אָמַר יְהוָה לָכֶם אַתֶּם אַל-תִּֽירְאוּ וְאַל-תֵּחַתּוּ מִפְּנֵי הֶֽהָמוֹן הָרָב הַזֶּה כִּי לֹא לָכֶם הַמִּלְחָמָה כִּי לֵֽאלֹהִֽים׃
And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the LORD unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's.
וִֽיהוּדָה בָּא עַל-הַמִּצְפֶּה לַמִּדְבָּר וַיִּפְנוּ אֶל-הֶהָמוֹן וְהִנָּם פְּגָרִים נֹֽפְלִים אַרְצָה וְאֵין פְּלֵיטָֽה׃
And when Judah came toward the watch tower in the wilderness, they looked unto the multitude, and, behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none escaped.
וַיָּבֹא יְהֽוֹשָׁפָט וְעַמּוֹ לָבֹז אֶת-שְׁלָלָם וַיִּמְצְאוּ בָהֶם לָרֹב וּרְכוּשׁ וּפְגָרִים וּכְלֵי חֲמֻדוֹת וַיְנַצְּלוּ לָהֶם לְאֵין מַשָּׂא וַיִּֽהְיוּ יָמִים שְׁלוֹשָׁה בֹּֽזְזִים אֶת-הַשָּׁלָל כִּי רַב-הֽוּא׃
And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away the spoil of them, they found among them in abundance both riches with the dead bodies, and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away: and they were three days in gathering of the spoil, it was so much.
וַיְהִי בְּעֵת יָבִיא אֶת-הָֽאָרוֹן אֶל-פְּקֻדַּת הַמֶּלֶךְ בְּיַד הַלְוִיִּם וְכִרְאוֹתָם כִּי-רַב הַכֶּסֶף וּבָא סוֹפֵר הַמֶּלֶךְ וּפְקִיד כֹּהֵן הָרֹאשׁ וִיעָרוּ אֶת-הָאָרוֹן וְיִשָּׂאֻהוּ וִֽישִׁיבֻהוּ אֶל-מְקֹמוֹ כֹּה עָשׂוּ לְיוֹם׀ בְּיוֹם וַיַּֽאַסְפוּ-כֶסֶף לָרֹֽב׃
Now it came to pass, that at what time the chest was brought unto the king's office by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money, the king's scribe and the high priest's officer came and emptied the chest, and took it, and carried it to his place again. Thus they did day by day, and gathered money in abundance.
כִּי בְמִצְעַר אֲנָשִׁים בָּאוּ׀ חֵיל אֲרָם וַֽיהוָה נָתַן בְּיָדָם חַיִל לָרֹב מְאֹד כִּי עָֽזְבוּ אֶת-יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי אֲבֽוֹתֵיהֶם וְאֶת-יוֹאָשׁ עָשׂוּ שְׁפָטִֽים׃
For the army of the Syrians came with a small company of men, and the LORD delivered a very great host into their hand, because they had forsaken the LORD God of their fathers. So they executed judgment against Joash.
וּבָנָיו (ורב) יִרֶב הַמַּשָּׂא עָלָיו וִיסוֹד בֵּית הָֽאֱלֹהִים הִנָּם כְּתוּבִים עַל-מִדְרַשׁ סֵפֶר הַמְּלָכִים וַיִּמְלֹךְ אֲמַצְיָהוּ בְנוֹ תַּחְתָּֽיו׃
Now concerning his sons, and the greatness of the burdens laid upon him, and the repairing of the house of God, behold, they are written in the story of the book of the kings. And Amaziah his son reigned in his stead.
הוּא בָּנָה אֶת-שַׁעַר בֵּית-יְהוָה הָֽעֶלְיוֹן וּבְחוֹמַת הָעֹפֶל בָּנָה לָרֹֽב׃
He built the high gate of the house of the LORD, and on the wall of Ophel he built much.
וְגַם-עֹלָה לָרֹב בְּחֶלְבֵי הַשְּׁלָמִים וּבַנְּסָכִים לָֽעֹלָה וַתִּכּוֹן עֲבוֹדַת בֵּית-יְהוָֽה׃
And also the burnt offerings were in abundance, with the fat of the peace offerings, and the drink offerings for every burnt offering. So the service of the house of the LORD was set in order.
וַיַּֽעֲמִידוּ דָבָר לְהַֽעֲבִיר קוֹל בְּכָל-יִשְׂרָאֵל מִבְּאֵֽר-שֶׁבַע וְעַד-דָּן לָבוֹא לַֽעֲשׂוֹת פֶּסַח לַֽיהוָה אֱלֹהֵֽי-יִשְׂרָאֵל בִּירֽוּשָׁלִָם כִּי לֹא לָרֹב עָשׂוּ כַּכָּתֽוּב׃
So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beer-sheba even to Dan, that they should come to keep the passover unto the LORD God of Israel at Jerusalem: for they had not done it of a long time in such sort as it was written.
וַיֵּאָֽסְפוּ יְרֽוּשָׁלִַם עַם-רָב לַֽעֲשׂוֹת אֶת-חַג הַמַּצּוֹת בַּחֹדֶשׁ הַשֵּׁנִי קָהָל לָרֹב מְאֹֽד׃
And there assembled at Jerusalem much people to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation.
כִּי חִזְקִיָּהוּ מֶֽלֶךְ-יְהוּדָה הֵרִים לַקָּהָל אֶלֶף פָּרִים וְשִׁבְעַת אֲלָפִים צֹאן וְהַשָּׂרִים הֵרִימוּ לַקָּהָל פָּרִים אֶלֶף וְצֹאן עֲשֶׂרֶת אֲלָפִים וַיִּֽתְקַדְּשׁוּ כֹֽהֲנִים לָרֹֽב׃
For Hezekiah king of Judah did give to the congregation a thousand bullocks and seven thousand sheep; and the princes gave to the congregation a thousand bullocks and ten thousand sheep: and a great number of priests sanctified themselves.
וְכִפְרֹץ הַדָּבָר הִרְבּוּ בְנֵֽי-יִשְׂרָאֵל רֵאשִׁית דָּגָן תִּירוֹשׁ וְיִצְהָר וּדְבַשׁ וְכֹל תְּבוּאַת שָׂדֶה וּמַעְשַׂר הַכֹּל לָרֹב הֵבִֽיאוּ׃
And as soon as the commandment came abroad, the children of Israel brought in abundance the firstfruits of corn, wine, and oil, and honey, and of all the increase of the field; and the tithe of all things brought they in abundantly.
וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו עֲזַרְיָהוּ הַכֹּהֵן הָרֹאשׁ לְבֵית צָדוֹק וַיֹּאמֶר מֵֽהָחֵל הַתְּרוּמָה לָבִיא בֵית-יְהוָה אָכוֹל וְשָׂבוֹעַ וְהוֹתֵר עַד-לָרוֹב כִּי יְהוָה בֵּרַךְ אֶת-עַמּוֹ וְהַנּוֹתָר אֶת-הֶֽהָמוֹן הַזֶּֽה׃
And Azariah the chief priest of the house of Zadok answered him, and said, Since the people began to bring the offerings into the house of the LORD, we have had enough to eat, and have left plenty: for the LORD hath blessed his people; and that which is left is this great store.
וַיִּתְחַזַּק וַיִּבֶן אֶת-כָּל-הַֽחוֹמָה הַפְּרוּצָה וַיַּעַל עַל-הַמִּגְדָּלוֹת וְלַחוּצָה הַֽחוֹמָה אַחֶרֶת וַיְחַזֵּק אֶת-הַמִּלּוֹא עִיר דָּוִיד וַיַּעַשׂ שֶׁלַח לָרֹב וּמָֽגִנִּֽים׃
Also he strengthened himself, and built up all the wall that was broken, and raised it up to the towers, and another wall without, and repaired Millo in the city of David, and made darts and shields in abundance.
חִזְקוּ וְאִמְצוּ אַל-תִּֽירְאוּ וְאַל-תֵּחַתּוּ מִפְּנֵי מֶלֶךְ אַשּׁוּר וּמִלִּפְנֵי כָּל-הֶֽהָמוֹן אֲשֶׁר-עִמּוֹ כִּֽי-עִמָּנוּ רַב מֵֽעִמּֽוֹ׃
Be strong and courageous, be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that is with him: for there be more with us than with him:
וְעָרִים עָשָׂה לוֹ וּמִקְנֵה-צֹאן וּבָקָר לָרֹב כִּי נָֽתַן-לוֹ אֱלֹהִים רְכוּשׁ רַב מְאֹֽד׃
Moreover he provided him cities, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance: for God had given him substance very much.
וַֽיִּלְכְּדוּ עָרִים בְּצֻרוֹת וַֽאֲדָמָה שְׁמֵנָה וַיִּֽירְשׁוּ בָּתִּים מְלֵֽאִים-כָּל-טוּב בֹּרוֹת חֲצוּבִים כְּרָמִים וְזֵיתִים וְעֵץ מַֽאֲכָל לָרֹב וַיֹּֽאכְלוּ וַֽיִּשְׂבְּעוּ וַיַּשְׁמִינוּ וַיִּֽתְעַדְּנוּ בְּטֽוּבְךָ הַגָּדֽוֹל׃
And they took strong cities, and a fat land, and possessed houses full of all goods, wells digged, vineyards, and oliveyards, and fruit trees in abundance: so they did eat, and were filled, and became fat, and delighted themselves in thy great goodness.
וָאֹֽמְרָה לַלְוִיִּם אֲשֶׁר יִֽהְיוּ מִֽטַּהֲרִים וּבָאִים שֹֽׁמְרִים הַשְּׁעָרִים לְקַדֵּשׁ אֶת-יוֹם הַשַּׁבָּת גַּם-זֹאת זָכְרָה-לִּי אֱלֹהַי וְחוּסָה עָלַי כְּרֹב חַסְדֶּֽךָ׃
And I commanded the Levites that they should cleanse themselves, and that they should come and keep the gates, to sanctify the sabbath day. Remember me, O my God, concerning this also, and spare me according to the greatness of thy mercy.
וַיְסַפֵּר לָהֶם הָמָן אֶת-כְּבוֹד עָשְׁרוֹ וְרֹב בָּנָיו וְאֵת כָּל-אֲשֶׁר גִּדְּלוֹ הַמֶּלֶךְ וְאֵת אֲשֶׁר נִשְּׂאוֹ עַל-הַשָּׂרִים וְעַבְדֵי הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃
And Haman told them of the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and all the things wherein the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king.
כִּי׀ מָרְדֳּכַי הַיְּהוּדִי מִשְׁנֶה לַמֶּלֶךְ אֲחַשְׁוֵרוֹשׁ וְגָדוֹל לַיְּהוּדִים וְרָצוּי לְרֹב אֶחָיו דֹּרֵשׁ טוֹב לְעַמּוֹ וְדֹבֵר שָׁלוֹם לְכָל-זַרְעֽוֹ׃
For Mordecai the Jew was next unto king Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews, and accepted of the multitude of his brethren, seeking the wealth of his people, and speaking peace to all his seed.
פַּחַד קְרָאַנִי וּרְעָדָה וְרֹב עַצְמוֹתַי הִפְחִֽיד׃
Fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake.
הֲרֹב דְּבָרִים לֹא יֵעָנֶה וְאִם-אִישׁ שְׂפָתַיִם יִצְדָּֽק׃
Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man full of talk be justified?
מַה-יָּעַצְתָּ לְלֹא חָכְמָה וְתֻשִׁיָּה לָרֹב הוֹדָֽעְתָּ׃
How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom? and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?
כִּי אֶֽעֱרוֹץ׀ הָמוֹן רַבָּה וּבוּז-מִשְׁפָּחוֹת יְחִתֵּנִי וָאֶדֹּם לֹא-אֵצֵא פָֽתַח׃
Did I fear a great multitude, or did the contempt of families terrify me, that I kept silence, and went not out of the door?
אָמַרְתִּי יָמִים יְדַבֵּרוּ וְרֹב שָׁנִים יֹדִיעוּ חָכְמָֽה׃
I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.
וְהוּכַח בְּמַכְאוֹב עַל-מִשְׁכָּבוֹ (וריב) וְרוֹב עֲצָמָיו אֵתָֽן׃
He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain:
מֵרֹב עֲשׁוּקִים יַזְעִיקוּ יְשַׁוְּעוּ מִזְּרוֹעַ רַבִּֽים׃
By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty.
שַׁדַּי לֹֽא-מְצָאנֻהוּ שַׂגִּיא-כֹחַ וּמִשְׁפָּט וְרֹב-צְדָקָה לֹא יְעַנֶּֽה׃
Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict.
יִשְׂחַק לַהֲמוֹן קִרְיָה תְּשֻׁאוֹת נֹגֵשׂ לֹא יִשְׁמָֽע׃
He scorneth the multitude of the city, neither regardeth he the crying of the driver.
וַאֲנִי בְּרֹב חַסְדְּךָ אָבוֹא בֵיתֶךָ אֶשְׁתַּחֲוֶה אֶל-הֵֽיכַל-קָדְשְׁךָ בְּיִרְאָתֶֽךָ׃
But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.
