Every verse with Congregation
Verses 101–200 of 251 (page 2 of 3)
וַתִּפְתַּח הָאָרֶץ אֶת-פִּיהָ וַתִּבְלַע אֹתָם וְאֶת-קֹרַח בְּמוֹת הָֽעֵדָה בַּֽאֲכֹל הָאֵשׁ אֵת חֲמִשִּׁים וּמָאתַיִם אִישׁ וַיִּֽהְיוּ לְנֵֽס׃
And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up together with Korah, when that company died, what time the fire devoured two hundred and fifty men: and they became a sign.
וַֽתַּעֲמֹדְנָה לִפְנֵי מֹשֶׁה וְלִפְנֵי אֶלְעָזָר הַכֹּהֵן וְלִפְנֵי הַנְּשִׂיאִם וְכָל-הָֽעֵדָה פֶּתַח אֹֽהֶל-מוֹעֵד לֵאמֹֽר׃
And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes and all the congregation, by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,
אָבִינוּ מֵת בַּמִּדְבָּר וְהוּא לֹֽא-הָיָה בְּתוֹךְ הָֽעֵדָה הַנּֽוֹעָדִים עַל-יְהוָה בַּֽעֲדַת-קֹרַח כִּֽי-בְחֶטְאוֹ מֵת וּבָנִים לֹא-הָיוּ לֽוֹ׃
Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the company of them that gathered themselves together against the LORD in the company of Korah; but died in his own sin, and had no sons.
כַּֽאֲשֶׁר מְרִיתֶם פִּי בְּמִדְבַּר-צִן בִּמְרִיבַת הָֽעֵדָה לְהַקְדִּישֵׁנִי בַמַּיִם לְעֵֽינֵיהֶם הֵם מֵֽי-מְרִיבַת קָדֵשׁ מִדְבַּר-צִֽן׃
For ye rebelled against my commandment in the desert of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the water before their eyes: that is the water of Meribah in Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.
יִפְקֹד יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי הָֽרוּחֹת לְכָל-בָּשָׂר אִישׁ עַל-הָֽעֵדָֽה׃
Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation,
אֲשֶׁר-יֵצֵא לִפְנֵיהֶם וַֽאֲשֶׁר יָבֹא לִפְנֵיהֶם וַֽאֲשֶׁר יֽוֹצִיאֵם וַֽאֲשֶׁר יְבִיאֵם וְלֹא תִֽהְיֶה עֲדַת יְהוָה כַּצֹּאן אֲשֶׁר אֵין-לָהֶם רֹעֶֽה׃
Which may go out before them, and which may go in before them, and which may lead them out, and which may bring them in; that the congregation of the LORD be not as sheep which have no shepherd.
וְהַֽעֲמַדְתָּ אֹתוֹ לִפְנֵי אֶלְעָזָר הַכֹּהֵן וְלִפְנֵי כָּל-הָֽעֵדָה וְצִוִּיתָה אֹתוֹ לְעֵֽינֵיהֶֽם׃
And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and give him a charge in their sight.
וְנָֽתַתָּה מֵהֽוֹדְךָ עָלָיו לְמַעַן יִשְׁמְעוּ כָּל-עֲדַת בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And thou shalt put some of thine honour upon him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient.
וְלִפְנֵי אֶלְעָזָר הַכֹּהֵן יַֽעֲמֹד וְשָׁאַל לוֹ בְּמִשְׁפַּט הָֽאוּרִים לִפְנֵי יְהוָה עַל-פִּיו יֵֽצְאוּ וְעַל-פִּיו יָבֹאוּ הוּא וְכָל-בְּנֵֽי-יִשְׂרָאֵל אִתּוֹ וְכָל-הָֽעֵדָֽה׃
And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask counsel for him after the judgment of Urim before the LORD: at his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he, and all the children of Israel with him, even all the congregation.
וַיַּעַשׂ מֹשֶׁה כַּֽאֲשֶׁר צִוָּה יְהוָה אֹתוֹ וַיִּקַּח אֶת-יְהוֹשֻׁעַ וַיַּֽעֲמִדֵהוּ לִפְנֵי אֶלְעָזָר הַכֹּהֵן וְלִפְנֵי כָּל-הָֽעֵדָֽה׃
And Moses did as the LORD commanded him: and he took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation:
וַיָּבִאוּ אֶל-מֹשֶׁה וְאֶל-אֶלְעָזָר הַכֹּהֵן וְאֶל-עֲדַת בְּנֵֽי-יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶת-הַשְּׁבִי וְאֶת-הַמַּלְקוֹחַ וְאֶת-הַשָּׁלָל אֶל-הַֽמַּחֲנֶה אֶל-עַֽרְבֹת מוֹאָב אֲשֶׁר עַל-יַרְדֵּן יְרֵחֽוֹ׃
And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by Jordan near Jericho.
וַיֵּצְאוּ מֹשֶׁה וְאֶלְעָזָר הַכֹּהֵן וְכָל-נְשִׂיאֵי הָֽעֵדָה לִקְרָאתָם אֶל-מִחוּץ לַֽמַּחֲנֶֽה׃
And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp.
הֵן הֵנָּה הָיוּ לִבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל בִּדְבַר בִּלְעָם לִמְסָר-מַעַל בַּֽיהוָה עַל-דְּבַר-פְּעוֹר וַתְּהִי הַמַּגֵּפָה בַּֽעֲדַת יְהוָֽה׃
Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the LORD.
שָׂא אֵת רֹאשׁ מַלְקוֹחַ הַשְּׁבִי בָּֽאָדָם וּבַבְּהֵמָה אַתָּה וְאֶלְעָזָר הַכֹּהֵן וְרָאשֵׁי אֲבוֹת הָֽעֵדָֽה׃
Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the congregation:
וְחָצִיתָ אֶת-הַמַּלְקוֹחַ בֵּין תֹּֽפְשֵׂי הַמִּלְחָמָה הַיֹּֽצְאִים לַצָּבָא וּבֵין כָּל-הָֽעֵדָֽה׃
And divide the prey into two parts; between them that took the war upon them, who went out to battle, and between all the congregation:
וַתְּהִי מֶֽחֱצַת הָֽעֵדָה מִן-הַצֹּאן שְׁלֹשׁ-מֵאוֹת אֶלֶף וּשְׁלֹשִׁים אֶלֶף שִׁבְעַת אֲלָפִים וַֽחֲמֵשׁ מֵאֽוֹת׃
(Now the half that pertained unto the congregation was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred sheep,
וַיָּבֹאוּ בְנֵֽי-גָד וּבְנֵי רְאוּבֵן וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ אֶל-מֹשֶׁה וְאֶל-אֶלְעָזָר הַכֹּהֵן וְאֶל-נְשִׂיאֵי הָֽעֵדָה לֵאמֹֽר׃
The children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spake unto Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of the congregation, saying,
הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר הִכָּה יְהוָה לִפְנֵי עֲדַת יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶרֶץ מִקְנֶה הִוא וְלַֽעֲבָדֶיךָ מִקְנֶֽה׃
Even the country which the LORD smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle:
וְהָיוּ לָכֶם הֶֽעָרִים לְמִקְלָט מִגֹּאֵל וְלֹא יָמוּת הָֽרֹצֵחַ עַד-עָמְדוֹ לִפְנֵי הָֽעֵדָה לַמִּשְׁפָּֽט׃
And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the avenger; that the manslayer die not, until he stand before the congregation in judgment.
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.
אֶֽת-הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה דִּבֶּר יְהוָה אֶל-כָּל-קְהַלְכֶם בָּהָר מִתּוֹךְ הָאֵשׁ הֶֽעָנָן וְהָֽעֲרָפֶל קוֹל גָּדוֹל וְלֹא יָסָף וַֽיִּכְתְּבֵם עַל-שְׁנֵי לֻחֹת אֲבָנִים וַֽיִּתְּנֵם אֵלָֽי׃
These words the LORD spake unto all your assembly in the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. And he wrote them in two tables of stone, and delivered them unto me.
וַיִּתֵּן יְהוָה אֵלַי אֶת-שְׁנֵי לוּחֹת הָֽאֲבָנִים כְּתֻבִים בְּאֶצְבַּע אֱלֹהִים וַֽעֲלֵיהֶם כְּֽכָל-הַדְּבָרִים אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר יְהוָה עִמָּכֶם בָּהָר מִתּוֹךְ הָאֵשׁ בְּיוֹם הַקָּהָֽל׃
And the LORD delivered unto me two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them was written according to all the words, which the LORD spake with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.
וַיִּכְתֹּב עַֽל-הַלֻּחֹת כַּמִּכְתָּב הָֽרִאשׁוֹן אֵת עֲשֶׂרֶת הַדְּבָרִים אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר יְהוָה אֲלֵיכֶם בָּהָר מִתּוֹךְ הָאֵשׁ בְּיוֹם הַקָּהָל וַיִּתְּנֵם יְהוָה אֵלָֽי׃
And he wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which the LORD spake unto you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly: and the LORD gave them unto me.
כְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר-שָׁאַלְתָּ מֵעִם יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ בְּחֹרֵב בְּיוֹם הַקָּהָל לֵאמֹר לֹא אֹסֵף לִשְׁמֹעַ אֶת-קוֹל יְהוָה אֱלֹהָי וְאֶת-הָאֵשׁ הַגְּדֹלָה הַזֹּאת לֹֽא-אֶרְאֶה עוֹד וְלֹא אָמֽוּת׃
According to all that thou desiredst of the LORD thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not.
לֹֽא-יָבֹא פְצֽוּעַ-דַּכָּא וּכְרוּת שָׁפְכָה בִּקְהַל יְהוָֽה׃
He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD.
לֹֽא-יָבֹא מַמְזֵר בִּקְהַל יְהוָה גַּם דּוֹר עֲשִׂירִי לֹא-יָבֹא לוֹ בִּקְהַל יְהוָֽה׃
A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD.
לֹֽא-יָבֹא עַמּוֹנִי וּמֽוֹאָבִי בִּקְהַל יְהוָה גַּם דּוֹר עֲשִׂירִי לֹֽא-יָבֹא לָהֶם בִּקְהַל יְהוָה עַד-עוֹלָֽם׃
An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to their tenth generation shall they not enter into the congregation of the LORD for ever:
בָּנִים אֲשֶׁר-יִוָּֽלְדוּ לָהֶם דּוֹר שְׁלִישִׁי יָבֹא לָהֶם בִּקְהַל יְהוָֽה׃
The children that are begotten of them shall enter into the congregation of the LORD in their third generation.
וַיְדַבֵּר מֹשֶׁה בְּאָזְנֵי כָּל-קְהַל יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶת-דִּבְרֵי הַשִּׁירָה הַזֹּאת עַד תֻּמָּֽם׃
And Moses spake in the ears of all the congregation of Israel the words of this song, until they were ended.
לֹֽא-הָיָה דָבָר מִכֹּל אֲשֶׁר-צִוָּה מֹשֶׁה אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא-קָרָא יְהוֹשֻׁעַ נֶגֶד כָּל-קְהַל יִשְׂרָאֵל וְהַנָּשִׁים וְהַטַּף וְהַגֵּר הַֽהֹלֵךְ בְּקִרְבָּֽם׃
There was not a word of all that Moses commanded, which Joshua read not before all the congregation of Israel, with the women, and the little ones, and the strangers that were conversant among them.
וַיַּעַשׂ לָהֶם יְהוֹשֻׁעַ שָׁלוֹם וַיִּכְרֹת לָהֶם בְּרִית לְחַיּוֹתָם וַיִּשָּֽׁבְעוּ לָהֶם נְשִׂיאֵי הָֽעֵדָֽה׃
And Joshua made peace with them, and made a league with them, to let them live: and the princes of the congregation sware unto them.
וְלֹא הִכּוּם בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל כִּֽי-נִשְׁבְּעוּ לָהֶם נְשִׂיאֵי הָֽעֵדָה בַּֽיהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיִּלֹּנוּ כָל-הָֽעֵדָה עַל-הַנְּשִׂיאִֽים׃
And the children of Israel smote them not, because the princes of the congregation had sworn unto them by the LORD God of Israel. And all the congregation murmured against the princes.
וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ כָל-הַנְּשִׂיאִים אֶל-כָּל-הָעֵדָה אֲנַחְנוּ נִשְׁבַּעְנוּ לָהֶם בַּֽיהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְעַתָּה לֹא נוּכַל לִנְגֹּעַ בָּהֶֽם׃
But all the princes said unto all the congregation, We have sworn unto them by the LORD God of Israel: now therefore we may not touch them.
וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ אֲלֵיהֶם הַנְּשִׂיאִים יִֽחְיוּ וַיִּֽהְיוּ חֹֽטְבֵי עֵצִים וְשֹֽׁאֲבֵי-מַיִם לְכָל-הָעֵדָה כַּֽאֲשֶׁר דִּבְּרוּ לָהֶם הַנְּשִׂיאִֽים׃
And the princes said unto them, Let them live; but let them be hewers of wood and drawers of water unto all the congregation; as the princes had promised them.
וַיִּתְּנֵם יְהוֹשֻׁעַ בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא חֹֽטְבֵי עֵצִים וְשֹׁאֲבֵי מַיִם לָֽעֵדָה וּלְמִזְבַּח יְהוָה עַד-הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה אֶל-הַמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר יִבְחָֽר׃
And Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of the LORD, even unto this day, in the place which he should choose.
וַיִּקָּהֲלוּ כָּל-עֲדַת בְּנֵֽי-יִשְׂרָאֵל שִׁלֹה וַיַּשְׁכִּינוּ שָׁם אֶת-אֹהֶל מוֹעֵד וְהָאָרֶץ נִכְבְּשָׁה לִפְנֵיהֶֽם׃
And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled together at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of the congregation there. And the land was subdued before them.
וְיָשַׁב׀ בָּעִיר הַהִיא עַד-עָמְדוֹ לִפְנֵי הָֽעֵדָה לַמִּשְׁפָּט עַד-מוֹת הַכֹּהֵן הַגָּדוֹל אֲשֶׁר יִֽהְיֶה בַּיָּמִים הָהֵם אָז׀ יָשׁוּב הָֽרוֹצֵחַ וּבָא אֶל-עִירוֹ וְאֶל-בֵּיתוֹ אֶל-הָעִיר אֲשֶׁר-נָס מִשָּֽׁם׃
And he shall dwell in that city, until he stand before the congregation for judgment, and until the death of the high priest that shall be in those days: then shall the slayer return, and come unto his own city, and unto his own house, unto the city from whence he fled.
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.
וַֽיִּשְׁמְעוּ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיִּקָּהֲלוּ כָּל-עֲדַת בְּנֵֽי-יִשְׂרָאֵל שִׁלֹה לַֽעֲלוֹת עֲלֵיהֶם לַצָּבָֽא׃
And when the children of Israel heard of it, the whole congregation of the children of Israel gathered themselves together at Shiloh, to go up to war against them.
כֹּה אָֽמְרוּ כֹּל׀ עֲדַת יְהוָה מָֽה-הַמַּעַל הַזֶּה אֲשֶׁר מְעַלְתֶּם בֵּֽאלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לָשׁוּב הַיּוֹם מֵאַֽחֲרֵי יְהוָה בִּבְנֽוֹתְכֶם לָכֶם מִזְבֵּחַ לִמְרָדְכֶם הַיּוֹם בַּֽיהוָֽה׃
Thus saith the whole congregation of the LORD, What trespass is this that ye have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following the LORD, in that ye have builded you an altar, that ye might rebel this day against the LORD?
הַמְעַט-לָנוּ אֶת-עֲוֹן פְּעוֹר אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא-הִטַּהַרְנוּ מִמֶּנּוּ עַד הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה וַיְהִי הַנֶּגֶף בַּֽעֲדַת יְהוָֽה׃
Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we are not cleansed until this day, although there was a plague in the congregation of the LORD,
וְאַתֶּם תָּשֻׁבוּ הַיּוֹם מֵאַֽחֲרֵי יְהוָה וְהָיָה אַתֶּם תִּמְרְדוּ הַיּוֹם בַּֽיהוָה וּמָחָר אֶֽל-כָּל-עֲדַת יִשְׂרָאֵל יִקְצֹֽף׃
But that ye must turn away this day from following the LORD? and it will be, seeing ye rebel to day against the LORD, that to morrow he will be wroth with the whole congregation of Israel.
הֲלוֹא׀ עָכָן בֶּן-זֶרַח מָעַל מַעַל בַּחֵרֶם וְעַֽל-כָּל-עֲדַת יִשְׂרָאֵל הָיָה קָצֶף וְהוּא אִישׁ אֶחָד לֹא גָוַע בַּֽעֲוֹנֽוֹ׃
Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the accursed thing, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? and that man perished not alone in his iniquity.
וַיִּשְׁמַע פִּֽינְחָס הַכֹּהֵן וּנְשִׂיאֵי הָֽעֵדָה וְרָאשֵׁי אַלְפֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר אִתּוֹ אֶת-הַדְּבָרִים אֲשֶׁר דִּבְּרוּ בְּנֵֽי-רְאוּבֵן וּבְנֵי-גָד וּבְנֵי מְנַשֶּׁה וַיִּיטַב בְּעֵֽינֵיהֶֽם׃
And when Phinehas the priest, and the princes of the congregation and heads of the thousands of Israel which were with him, heard the words that the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the children of Manasseh spake, it pleased them.
וַיָּשָׁב מִיָּמִים לְקַחְתָּהּ וַיָּסַר לִרְאוֹת אֵת מַפֶּלֶת הָֽאַרְיֵה וְהִנֵּה עֲדַת דְּבוֹרִים בִּגְוִיַּת הָֽאַרְיֵה וּדְבָֽשׁ׃
And after a time he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcase of the lion: and, behold, there was a swarm of bees and honey in the carcase of the lion.
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.
וַיִּֽתְיַצְּבוּ פִּנּוֹת כָּל-הָעָם כֹּל שִׁבְטֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל בִּקְהַל עַם הָֽאֱלֹהִים אַרְבַּע מֵאוֹת אֶלֶף אִישׁ רַגְלִי שֹׁלֵֽף חָֽרֶב׃
And the chief of all the people, even of all the tribes of Israel, presented themselves in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen that drew sword.
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.
וַיִּשְׁלְחוּ-שָׁם הָֽעֵדָה שְׁנֵים-עָשָׂר אֶלֶף אִישׁ מִבְּנֵי הֶחָיִל וַיְצַוּוּ אוֹתָם לֵאמֹר לְכוּ וְהִכִּיתֶם אֶת-יֽוֹשְׁבֵי יָבֵשׁ גִּלְעָד לְפִי-חֶרֶב וְהַנָּשִׁים וְהַטָּֽף׃
And the congregation sent thither twelve thousand men of the valiantest, and commanded them, saying, Go and smite the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead with the edge of the sword, with the women and the children.
וַֽיִּשְׁלְחוּ כָּל-הָעֵדָה וַֽיְדַבְּרוּ אֶל-בְּנֵי בִנְיָמִן אֲשֶׁר בְּסֶלַע רִמּוֹן וַיִּקְרְאוּ לָהֶם שָׁלֽוֹם׃
And the whole congregation sent some to speak to the children of Benjamin that were in the rock Rimmon, and to call peaceably unto them.
וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ זִקְנֵי הָֽעֵדָה מַה-נַּֽעֲשֶׂה לַנּֽוֹתָרִים לְנָשִׁים כִּֽי-נִשְׁמְדָה מִבִּנְיָמִן אִשָּֽׁה׃
Then the elders of the congregation said, How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing the women are destroyed out of Benjamin?
וְיֵֽדְעוּ כָּל-הַקָּהָל הַזֶּה כִּֽי-לֹא בְּחֶרֶב וּבַֽחֲנִית יְהוֹשִׁיעַ יְהוָה כִּי לַֽיהוָה הַמִּלְחָמָה וְנָתַן אֶתְכֶם בְּיָדֵֽנוּ׃
And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD's, and he will give you into our hands.
וְהַמֶּלֶךְ שְׁלֹמֹה וְכָל-עֲדַת יִשְׂרָאֵל הַנּֽוֹעָדִים עָלָיו אִתּוֹ לִפְנֵי הָֽאָרוֹן מְזַבְּחִים צֹאן וּבָקָר אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא-יִסָּפְרוּ וְלֹא יִמָּנוּ מֵרֹֽב׃
And king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled unto him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be told nor numbered for multitude.
וַיַּסֵּב הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶת-פָּנָיו וַיְבָרֶךְ אֵת כָּל-קְהַל יִשְׂרָאֵל וְכָל-קְהַל יִשְׂרָאֵל עֹמֵֽד׃
And the king turned his face about, and blessed all the congregation of Israel: (and all the congregation of Israel stood;)
וַיַּֽעֲמֹד שְׁלֹמֹה לִפְנֵי מִזְבַּח יְהוָה נֶגֶד כָּל-קְהַל יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיִּפְרֹשׂ כַּפָּיו הַשָּׁמָֽיִם׃
And Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven:
וַֽיַּעְמֹד וַיְבָרֶךְ אֵת כָּל-קְהַל יִשְׂרָאֵל קוֹל גָּדוֹל לֵאמֹֽר׃
And he stood, and blessed all the congregation of Israel with a loud voice, saying,
וַיַּעַשׂ שְׁלֹמֹה בָֽעֵת-הַהִיא׀ אֶת-הֶחָג וְכָל-יִשְׂרָאֵל עִמּוֹ קָהָל גָּדוֹל מִלְּבוֹא חֲמָת׀ עַד-נַחַל מִצְרַיִם לִפְנֵי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ שִׁבְעַת יָמִים וְשִׁבְעַת יָמִים אַרְבָּעָה עָשָׂר יֽוֹם׃
And at that time Solomon held a feast, and all Israel with him, a great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath unto the river of Egypt, before the LORD our God, seven days and seven days, even fourteen days.
וַֽיִּשְׁלְחוּ וַיִּקְרְאוּ-לוֹ (ויבאו) וַיָּבֹא יָֽרָבְעָם וְכָל-קְהַל יִשְׂרָאֵל וַֽיְדַבְּרוּ אֶל-רְחַבְעָם לֵאמֹֽר׃
That they sent and called him. And Jeroboam and all the congregation of Israel came, and spake unto Rehoboam, saying,
וַיְהִי כִּשְׁמֹעַ כָּל-יִשְׂרָאֵל כִּֽי-שָׁב יָֽרָבְעָם וַֽיִּשְׁלְחוּ וַיִּקְרְאוּ אֹתוֹ אֶל-הָעֵדָה וַיַּמְלִיכוּ אֹתוֹ עַל-כָּל-יִשְׂרָאֵל לֹא הָיָה אַֽחֲרֵי בֵית-דָּוִד זֽוּלָתִי שֵֽׁבֶט-יְהוּדָה לְבַדּֽוֹ׃
And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was come again, that they sent and called him unto the congregation, and made him king over all Israel: there was none that followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only.
וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִיד לְכֹל׀ קְהַל יִשְׂרָאֵל אִם-עֲלֵיכֶם טוֹב וּמִן-יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ נִפְרְצָה נִשְׁלְחָה עַל-אַחֵינוּ הַנִּשְׁאָרִים בְּכֹל אַרְצוֹת יִשְׂרָאֵל וְעִמָּהֶם הַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם בְּעָרֵי מִגְרְשֵׁיהֶם וְיִקָּֽבְצוּ אֵלֵֽינוּ׃
And David said unto all the congregation of Israel, If it seem good unto you, and that it be of the LORD our God, let us send abroad unto our brethren every where, that are left in all the land of Israel, and with them also to the priests and Levites which are in their cities and suburbs, that they may gather themselves unto us:
וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ כָֽל-הַקָּהָל לַֽעֲשׂוֹת כֵּן כִּֽי-יָשַׁר הַדָּבָר בְּעֵינֵי כָל-הָעָֽם׃
And all the congregation said that they would do so: for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.
וְעַתָּה לְעֵינֵי כָל-יִשְׂרָאֵל קְהַל-יְהוָה וּבְאָזְנֵי אֱלֹהֵינוּ שִׁמְרוּ וְדִרְשׁוּ כָּל-מִצְוֹת יְהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם לְמַעַן תִּֽירְשׁוּ אֶת-הָאָרֶץ הַטּוֹבָה וְהִנְחַלְתֶּם לִבְנֵיכֶם אַֽחֲרֵיכֶם עַד-עוֹלָֽם׃
Now therefore in the sight of all Israel the congregation of the LORD, and in the audience of our God, keep and seek for all the commandments of the LORD your God: that ye may possess this good land, and leave it for an inheritance for your children after you for ever.
וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִיד הַמֶּלֶךְ לְכָל-הַקָּהָל שְׁלֹמֹה בְנִי אֶחָד בָּֽחַר-בּוֹ אֱלֹהִים נַעַר וָרָךְ וְהַמְּלָאכָה גְדוֹלָה כִּי לֹא לְאָדָם הַבִּירָה כִּי לַֽיהוָה אֱלֹהִֽים׃
Furthermore David the king said unto all the congregation, Solomon my son, whom alone God hath chosen, is yet young and tender, and the work is great: for the palace is not for man, but for the LORD God.
וַיְבָרֶךְ דָּוִיד אֶת-יְהוָה לְעֵינֵי כָּל-הַקָּהָל וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִיד בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אָבִינוּ מֵֽעוֹלָם וְעַד-עוֹלָֽם׃
Wherefore David blessed the LORD before all the congregation: and David said, Blessed be thou, LORD God of Israel our father, for ever and ever.
וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִיד לְכָל-הַקָּהָל בָּֽרְכוּ-נָא אֶת-יְהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם וַיְבָרֲכוּ כָֽל-הַקָּהָל לַֽיהוָה אֱלֹהֵי אֲבֹֽתֵיהֶם וַיִּקְּדוּ וַיִּֽשְׁתַּחֲווּ לַֽיהוָה וְלַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃
And David said to all the congregation, Now bless the LORD your God. And all the congregation blessed the LORD God of their fathers, and bowed down their heads, and worshipped the LORD, and the king.
וַיֵּֽלְכוּ שְׁלֹמֹה וְכָל-הַקָּהָל עִמּוֹ לַבָּמָה אֲשֶׁר בְּגִבְעוֹן כִּי-שָׁם הָיָה אֹהֶל מוֹעֵד הָֽאֱלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה מֹשֶׁה עֶֽבֶד-יְהוָה בַּמִּדְבָּֽר׃
So Solomon, and all the congregation with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for there was the tabernacle of the congregation of God, which Moses the servant of the LORD had made in the wilderness.
וּמִזְבַּח הַנְּחֹשֶׁת אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה בְּצַלְאֵל בֶּן-אוּרִי בֶן-חוּר שָׂם לִפְנֵי מִשְׁכַּן יְהוָה וַיִּדְרְשֵׁהוּ שְׁלֹמֹה וְהַקָּהָֽל׃
Moreover the brasen altar, that Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, he put before the tabernacle of the LORD: and Solomon and the congregation sought unto it.
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.
וַיַּסֵּב הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶת-פָּנָיו וַיְבָרֶךְ אֵת כָּל-קְהַל יִשְׂרָאֵל וְכָל-קְהַל יִשְׂרָאֵל עוֹמֵֽד׃
And the king turned his face, and blessed the whole congregation of Israel: and all the congregation of Israel stood.
וַֽיַּעֲמֹד לִפְנֵי מִזְבַּח יְהוָה נֶגֶד כָּל-קְהַל יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיִּפְרֹשׂ כַּפָּֽיו׃
And he stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands:
כִּֽי-עָשָׂה שְׁלֹמֹה כִּיּוֹר נְחֹשֶׁת וַֽיִּתְּנֵהוּ בְּתוֹךְ הָֽעֲזָרָה חָמֵשׁ אַמּוֹת אָרְכּוֹ וְחָמֵשׁ אַמּוֹת רָחְבּוֹ וְאַמּוֹת שָׁלוֹשׁ קֽוֹמָתוֹ וַיַּֽעֲמֹד עָלָיו וַיִּבְרַךְ עַל-בִּרְכָּיו נֶגֶד כָּל-קְהַל יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיִּפְרֹשׂ כַּפָּיו הַשָּׁמָֽיְמָה׃
For Solomon had made a brasen scaffold, of five cubits long, and five cubits broad, and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court: and upon it he stood, and kneeled down upon his knees before all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven,
וַיַּעַשׂ שְׁלֹמֹה אֶת-הֶחָג בָּעֵת הַהִיא שִׁבְעַת יָמִים וְכָל-יִשְׂרָאֵל עִמּוֹ קָהָל גָּדוֹל מְאֹד מִלְּבוֹא חֲמָת עַד-נַחַל מִצְרָֽיִם׃
Also at the same time Solomon kept the feast seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath unto the river of Egypt.
וַיַּֽעֲמֹד יְהֽוֹשָׁפָט בִּקְהַל יְהוּדָה וִירֽוּשָׁלִַם בְּבֵית יְהוָה לִפְנֵי הֶֽחָצֵר הַֽחֲדָשָֽׁה׃
And Jehoshaphat stood in the congregation of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the LORD, before the new court,
וְיַֽחֲזִיאֵל בֶּן-זְכַרְיָהוּ בֶּן-בְּנָיָה בֶּן-יְעִיאֵל בֶּן-מַתַּנְיָה הַלֵּוִי מִן-בְּנֵי אָסָף הָֽיְתָה עָלָיו רוּחַ יְהוָה בְּתוֹךְ הַקָּהָֽל׃
Then upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, came the Spirit of the LORD in the midst of the congregation;
וַיִּכְרֹת כָּל-הַקָּהָל בְּרִית בְּבֵית הָֽאֱלֹהִים עִם-הַמֶּלֶךְ וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם הִנֵּה בֶן-הַמֶּלֶךְ יִמְלֹךְ כַּֽאֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר יְהוָה עַל-בְּנֵי דָוִֽיד׃
And all the congregation made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And he said unto them, Behold, the king's son shall reign, as the LORD hath said of the sons of David.
וַיִּקְרָא הַמֶּלֶךְ לִיהֽוֹיָדָע הָרֹאשׁ וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ מַדּוּעַ לֹֽא-דָרַשְׁתָּ עַל-הַלְוִיִּם לְהָבִיא מִֽיהוּדָה וּמִירֽוּשָׁלִַם אֶת-מַשְׂאַת מֹשֶׁה עֶֽבֶד-יְהוָה וְהַקָּהָל לְיִשְׂרָאֵל לְאֹהֶל הָֽעֵדֽוּת׃
And the king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said unto him, Why hast thou not required of the Levites to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the collection, according to the commandment of Moses the servant of the LORD, and of the congregation of Israel, for the tabernacle of witness?
וַיַּֽעֲזֹב הֶֽחָלוּץ אֶת-הַשִּׁבְיָה וְאֶת-הַבִּזָּה לִפְנֵי הַשָּׂרִים וְכָל-הַקָּהָֽל׃
So the armed men left the captives and the spoil before the princes and all the congregation.
וַיַּגִּישׁוּ אֶת-שְׂעִירֵי הַֽחַטָּאת לִפְנֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ וְהַקָּהָל וַיִּסְמְכוּ יְדֵיהֶם עֲלֵיהֶֽם׃
And they brought forth the he goats for the sin offering before the king and the congregation; and they laid their hands upon them:
וְכָל-הַקָּהָל מִֽשְׁתַּחֲוִים וְהַשִּׁיר מְשׁוֹרֵר וְהַחֲצֹֽצְרוֹת (מחצצרים) מַחְצְרִים הַכֹּל עַד לִכְלוֹת הָֽעֹלָֽה׃
And all the congregation worshipped, and the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded: and all this continued until the burnt offering was finished.
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.
וַיְהִי מִסְפַּר הָֽעֹלָה אֲשֶׁר הֵבִיאוּ הַקָּהָל בָּקָר שִׁבְעִים אֵילִים מֵאָה כְּבָשִׂים מָאתָיִם לְעֹלָה לַֽיהוָה כָּל-אֵֽלֶּה׃
And the number of the burnt offerings, which the congregation brought, was threescore and ten bullocks, an hundred rams, and two hundred lambs: all these were for a burnt offering to the LORD.
וַיִּוָּעַץ הַמֶּלֶךְ וְשָׂרָיו וְכָל-הַקָּהָל בִּירֽוּשָׁלִָם לַֽעֲשׂוֹת הַפֶּסַח בַּחֹדֶשׁ הַשֵּׁנִֽי׃
For the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the congregation in Jerusalem, to keep the passover in the second month.
וַיִּישַׁר הַדָּבָר בְּעֵינֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ וּבְעֵינֵי כָּל-הַקָּהָֽל׃
And the thing pleased the king and all the congregation.
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.
כִּֽי-רַבַּת בַּקָּהָל אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא-הִתְקַדָּשׁוּ וְהַלְוִיִּם עַל-שְׁחִיטַת הַפְּסָחִים לְכֹל לֹא טָהוֹר לְהַקְדִּישׁ לַֽיהוָֽה׃
For there were many in the congregation that were not sanctified: therefore the Levites had the charge of the killing of the passovers for every one that was not clean, to sanctify them unto the LORD.
וַיִּוָּֽעֲצוּ כָּל-הַקָּהָל לַֽעֲשׂוֹת שִׁבְעַת יָמִים אֲחֵרִים וַיַּֽעֲשׂוּ שִׁבְעַת-יָמִים שִׂמְחָֽה׃
And the whole assembly took counsel to keep other seven days: and they kept other seven days with gladness.
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.
וַֽיִּשְׂמְחוּ׀ כָּל-קְהַל יְהוּדָה וְהַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם וְכָל-הַקָּהָל הַבָּאִים מִיִּשְׂרָאֵל וְהַגֵּרִים הַבָּאִים מֵאֶרֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵל וְהַיּֽוֹשְׁבִים בִּֽיהוּדָֽה׃
And all the congregation of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and all the congregation that came out of Israel, and the strangers that came out of the land of Israel, and that dwelt in Judah, rejoiced.
וּלְהִתְיַחֵשׂ בְּכָל-טַפָּם נְשֵׁיהֶם וּבְנֵיהֶם וּבְנֽוֹתֵיהֶם לְכָל-קָהָל כִּי בֶאֱמֽוּנָתָם יִתְקַדְּשׁוּ-קֹֽדֶשׁ׃
And to the genealogy of all their little ones, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, through all the congregation: for in their set office they sanctified themselves in holiness:
כָּל-הַקָּהָל כְּאֶחָד אַרְבַּע רִבּוֹא אַלְפַּיִם שְׁלֹשׁ-מֵאוֹת שִׁשִּֽׁים׃
The whole congregation together was forty and two thousand three hundred and threescore,
וּכְהִתְפַּלֵּל עֶזְרָא וּכְהִתְוַדֹּתוֹ בֹּכֶה וּמִתְנַפֵּל לִפְנֵי בֵּית הָֽאֱלֹהִים נִקְבְּצוּ אֵלָיו מִיִּשְׂרָאֵל קָהָל רַב-מְאֹד אֲנָשִׁים וְנָשִׁים וִֽילָדִים כִּֽי-בָכוּ הָעָם הַרְבֵּה-בֶֽכֶה׃
Now when Ezra had prayed, and when he had confessed, weeping and casting himself down before the house of God, there assembled unto him out of Israel a very great congregation of men and women and children: for the people wept very sore.
וְכֹל אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא-יָבוֹא לִשְׁלֹשֶׁת הַיָּמִים כַּֽעֲצַת הַשָּׂרִים וְהַזְּקֵנִים יָֽחֳרַם כָּל-רְכוּשׁוֹ וְהוּא יִבָּדֵל מִקְּהַל הַגּוֹלָֽה׃
And that whosoever would not come within three days, according to the counsel of the princes and the elders, all his substance should be forfeited, and himself separated from the congregation of those that had been carried away.
וַיַּֽעְנוּ כָֽל-הַקָּהָל וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ קוֹל גָּדוֹל כֵּן (כדבריך) כִּדְבָרְךָ עָלֵינוּ לַֽעֲשֽׂוֹת׃
Then all the congregation answered and said with a loud voice, As thou hast said, so must we do.
יַֽעֲמְדוּ-נָא שָׂרֵינוּ לְֽכָל-הַקָּהָל וְכֹל׀ אֲשֶׁר בֶּֽעָרֵינוּ הַֽהֹשִׁיב נָשִׁים נָכְרִיּוֹת יָבֹא לְעִתִּים מְזֻמָּנִים וְעִמָּהֶם זִקְנֵי-עִיר וָעִיר וְשֹֽׁפְטֶיהָ עַד לְהָשִׁיב חֲרוֹן אַף-אֱלֹהֵינוּ מִמֶּנּוּ עַד לַדָּבָר הַזֶּֽה׃
Let now our rulers of all the congregation stand, and let all them which have taken strange wives in our cities come at appointed times, and with them the elders of every city, and the judges thereof, until the fierce wrath of our God for this matter be turned from us.
גַּם-חָצְנִי נָעַרְתִּי וָֽאֹמְרָה כָּכָה יְנַעֵר הָֽאֱלֹהִים אֶת-כָּל-הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא-יָקִים אֶת-הַדָּבָר הַזֶּה מִבֵּיתוֹ וּמִיגִיעוֹ וְכָכָה יִֽהְיֶה נָעוּר וָרֵק וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ כָֽל-הַקָּהָל אָמֵן וַֽיְהַלְלוּ אֶת-יְהוָה וַיַּעַשׂ הָעָם כַּדָּבָר הַזֶּֽה׃
Also I shook my lap, and said, So God shake out every man from his house, and from his labour, that performeth not this promise, even thus be he shaken out, and emptied. And all the congregation said, Amen, and praised the LORD. And the people did according to this promise.
כָּל-הַקָּהָל כְּאֶחָד אַרְבַּע רִבּוֹא אַלְפַּיִם שְׁלֹשׁ-מֵאוֹת וְשִׁשִּֽׁים׃
The whole congregation together was forty and two thousand three hundred and threescore,
וַיָּבִיא עֶזְרָא הַכֹּהֵן אֶֽת-הַתּוֹרָה לִפְנֵי הַקָּהָל מֵאִישׁ וְעַד-אִשָּׁה וְכֹל מֵבִין לִשְׁמֹעַ בְּיוֹם אֶחָד לַחֹדֶשׁ הַשְּׁבִיעִֽי׃
And Ezra the priest brought the law before the congregation both of men and women, and all that could hear with understanding, upon the first day of the seventh month.
וַיַּֽעֲשׂוּ כָֽל-הַקָּהָל הַשָּׁבִים מִן-הַשְּׁבִי׀ סֻכּוֹת וַיֵּֽשְׁבוּ בַסֻּכּוֹת כִּי לֹֽא-עָשׂוּ מִימֵי יֵשׁוּעַ בִּן-נוּן כֵּן בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל עַד הַיּוֹם הַהוּא וַתְּהִי שִׂמְחָה גְּדוֹלָה מְאֹֽד׃
And all the congregation of them that were come again out of the captivity made booths, and sat under the booths: for since the days of Jeshua the son of Nun unto that day had not the children of Israel done so. And there was very great gladness.
