בִּלְעָדַי רַק אֲשֶׁר אָֽכְלוּ הַנְּעָרִים וְחֵלֶק הָֽאֲנָשִׁים אֲשֶׁר הָֽלְכוּ אִתִּי עָנֵר אֶשְׁכֹּל וּמַמְרֵא הֵם יִקְחוּ חֶלְקָֽם׃
Save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men which went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their portion.
וַתַּעַן רָחֵל וְלֵאָה וַתֹּאמַרְנָה לוֹ הַעוֹד לָנוּ חֵלֶק וְנַֽחֲלָה בְּבֵית אָבִֽינוּ׃
And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him, Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?
לֹא תֵֽאָפֶה חָמֵץ חֶלְקָם נָתַתִּי אֹתָהּ מֵֽאִשָּׁי קֹדֶשׁ קָֽדָשִׁים הִוא כַּֽחַטָּאת וְכָֽאָשָֽׁם׃
It shall not be baken with leaven. I have given it unto them for their portion of my offerings made by fire; it is most holy, as is the sin offering, and as the trespass offering.
וְנָתַן אַֽהֲרֹן עַל-שְׁנֵי הַשְּׂעִירִם גֹּֽרָלוֹת גּוֹרָל אֶחָד לַֽיהוָה וְגוֹרָל אֶחָד לַֽעֲזָאזֵֽל׃
And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the LORD, and the other lot for the scapegoat.
וְהִקְרִיב אַֽהֲרֹן אֶת-הַשָּׂעִיר אֲשֶׁר עָלָה עָלָיו הַגּוֹרָל לַֽיהוָה וְעָשָׂהוּ חַטָּֽאת׃
And Aaron shall bring the goat upon which the LORD's lot fell, and offer him for a sin offering.
וְהַשָּׂעִיר אֲשֶׁר עָלָה עָלָיו הַגּוֹרָל לַֽעֲזָאזֵל יָֽעֳמַד-חַי לִפְנֵי יְהוָה לְכַפֵּר עָלָיו לְשַׁלַּח אֹתוֹ לַֽעֲזָאזֵל הַמִּדְבָּֽרָה׃
But the goat, on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat, shall be presented alive before the LORD, to make an atonement with him, and to let him go for a scapegoat into the wilderness.
וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶֽל-אַהֲרֹן בְּאַרְצָם לֹא תִנְחָל וְחֵלֶק לֹֽא-יִהְיֶה לְךָ בְּתוֹכָם אֲנִי חֶלְקְךָ וְנַחֲלָתְךָ בְּתוֹךְ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou have any part among them: I am thy part and thine inheritance among the children of Israel.
אַךְ-בְּגוֹרָל יֵֽחָלֵק אֶת-הָאָרֶץ לִשְׁמוֹת מַטּוֹת-אֲבֹתָם יִנְחָֽלוּ׃
Notwithstanding the land shall be divided by lot: according to the names of the tribes of their fathers they shall inherit.
עַל-פִּי הַגּוֹרָל תֵּֽחָלֵק נַֽחֲלָתוֹ בֵּין רַב לִמְעָֽט׃
According to the lot shall the possession thereof be divided between many and few.
וַתְּהִי הַֽמֶּחֱצָה חֵלֶק הַיֹּֽצְאִים בַּצָּבָא מִסְפַּר הַצֹּאן שְׁלֹשׁ-מֵאוֹת אֶלֶף וּשְׁלֹשִׁים אֶלֶף וְשִׁבְעַת אֲלָפִים וַֽחֲמֵשׁ מֵאֽוֹת׃
And the half, which was the portion of them that went out to war, was in number three hundred thousand and seven and thirty thousand and five hundred sheep:
וְהִתְנַֽחַלְתֶּם אֶת-הָאָרֶץ בְּגוֹרָל לְמִשְׁפְּחֹֽתֵיכֶם לָרַב תַּרְבּוּ אֶת-נַֽחֲלָתוֹ וְלַמְעַט תַּמְעִיט אֶת-נַֽחֲלָתוֹ אֶל אֲשֶׁר-יֵצֵא לוֹ שָׁמָּה הַגּוֹרָל לוֹ יִֽהְיֶה לְמַטּוֹת אֲבֹֽתֵיכֶם תִּתְנֶחָֽלוּ׃
And ye shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance among your families: and to the more ye shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer ye shall give the less inheritance: every man's inheritance shall be in the place where his lot falleth; according to the tribes of your fathers ye shall inherit.
וַיְצַו מֹשֶׁה אֶת-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לֵאמֹר זֹאת הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר תִּתְנַֽחֲלוּ אֹתָהּ בְּגוֹרָל אֲשֶׁר צִוָּה יְהוָה לָתֵת לְתִשְׁעַת הַמַּטּוֹת וַֽחֲצִי הַמַּטֶּֽה׃
And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the land which ye shall inherit by lot, which the LORD commanded to give unto the nine tribes, and to the half tribe:
וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ אֶת-אֲדֹנִי צִוָּה יְהוָה לָתֵת אֶת-הָאָרֶץ בְּנַֽחֲלָה בְּגוֹרָל לִבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַֽאדֹנִי צֻוָּה בַֽיהוָה לָתֵת אֶֽת-נַחֲלַת צְלָפְחָד אָחִינוּ לִבְנֹתָֽיו׃
And they said, The LORD commanded my lord to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded by the LORD to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters.
וְהָיוּ לְאֶחָד מִבְּנֵי שִׁבְטֵי בְנֵֽי-יִשְׂרָאֵל לְנָשִׁים וְנִגְרְעָה נַֽחֲלָתָן מִנַּֽחֲלַת אֲבֹתֵינוּ וְנוֹסַף עַל נַֽחֲלַת הַמַּטֶּה אֲשֶׁר תִּֽהְיֶינָה לָהֶם וּמִגֹּרַל נַֽחֲלָתֵנוּ יִגָּרֵֽעַ׃
And if they be married to any of the sons of the other tribes of the children of Israel, then shall their inheritance be taken from the inheritance of our fathers, and shall be put to the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall it be taken from the lot of our inheritance.
עַל-כֵּן לֹֽא-הָיָה לְלֵוִי חֵלֶק וְנַֽחֲלָה עִם-אֶחָיו יְהוָה הוּא נַֽחֲלָתוֹ כַּֽאֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ לֽוֹ׃
Wherefore Levi hath no part nor inheritance with his brethren; the LORD is his inheritance, according as the LORD thy God promised him.
וּשְׂמַחְתֶּם לִפְנֵי יְהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם אַתֶּם וּבְנֵיכֶם וּבְנֹתֵיכֶם וְעַבְדֵיכֶם וְאַמְהֹֽתֵיכֶם וְהַלֵּוִי אֲשֶׁר בְּשַֽׁעֲרֵיכֶם כִּי אֵין לוֹ חֵלֶק וְנַֽחֲלָה אִתְּכֶֽם׃
And ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God, ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your menservants, and your maidservants, and the Levite that is within your gates; forasmuch as he hath no part nor inheritance with you.
וְהַלֵּוִי אֲשֶׁר-בִּשְׁעָרֶיךָ לֹא תַֽעַזְבֶנּוּ כִּי אֵין לוֹ חֵלֶק וְנַֽחֲלָה עִמָּֽךְ׃
And the Levite that is within thy gates; thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee.
וּבָא הַלֵּוִי כִּי אֵֽין-לוֹ חֵלֶק וְנַֽחֲלָה עִמָּךְ וְהַגֵּר וְהַיָּתוֹם וְהָֽאַלְמָנָה אֲשֶׁר בִּשְׁעָרֶיךָ וְאָֽכְלוּ וְשָׂבֵעוּ לְמַעַן יְבָֽרֶכְךָ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ בְּכָל-מַֽעֲשֵׂה יָֽדְךָ אֲשֶׁר תַּֽעֲשֶֽׂה׃
And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee,) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest.
לֹֽא-יִהְיֶה לַכֹּֽהֲנִים הַלְוִיִּם כָּל-שֵׁבֶט לֵוִי חֵלֶק וְנַֽחֲלָה עִם-יִשְׂרָאֵל אִשֵּׁי יְהוָה וְנַֽחֲלָתוֹ יֹֽאכֵלֽוּן׃
The priests the Levites, and all the tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and his inheritance.
חֵלֶק כְּחֵלֶק יֹאכֵלוּ לְבַד מִמְכָּרָיו עַל-הָֽאָבֽוֹת׃
They shall have like portions to eat, beside that which cometh of the sale of his patrimony.
כִּי חֵלֶק יְהוָֹה עַמּוֹ יַֽעֲקֹב חֶבֶל נַֽחֲלָתֽוֹ׃
For the LORD's portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.
בְּגוֹרַל נַֽחֲלָתָם כַּֽאֲשֶׁר צִוָּה יְהוָה בְּיַד-מֹשֶׁה לְתִשְׁעַת הַמַּטּוֹת וַֽחֲצִי הַמַּטֶּֽה׃
By lot was their inheritance, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses, for the nine tribes, and for the half tribe.
כִּֽי-הָיוּ בְנֵֽי-יוֹסֵף שְׁנֵי מַטּוֹת מְנַשֶּׁה וְאֶפְרָיִם וְלֹֽא-נָתְנוּ חֵלֶק לַלְוִיִּם בָּאָרֶץ כִּי אִם-עָרִים לָשֶׁבֶת וּמִגְרְשֵׁיהֶם לְמִקְנֵיהֶם וּלְקִנְיָנָֽם׃
For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim: therefore they gave no part unto the Levites in the land, save cities to dwell in, with their suburbs for their cattle and for their substance.
וַיְהִי הַגּוֹרָל לְמַטֵּה בְּנֵי יְהוּדָה לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָם אֶל-גְּבוּל אֱדוֹם מִדְבַּר-צִן נֶגְבָּה מִקְצֵה תֵימָֽן׃
This then was the lot of the tribe of the children of Judah by their families; even to the border of Edom the wilderness of Zin southward was the uttermost part of the south coast.
וּלְכָלֵב בֶּן-יְפֻנֶּה נָתַן חֵלֶק בְּתוֹךְ בְּנֵֽי-יְהוּדָה אֶל-פִּי יְהוָה לִֽיהוֹשֻׁעַ אֶת-קִרְיַת אַרְבַּע אֲבִי הָֽעֲנָק הִיא חֶבְרֽוֹן׃
And unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a part among the children of Judah, according to the commandment of the LORD to Joshua, even the city of Arba the father of Anak, which city is Hebron.
וַיֵּצֵא הַגּוֹרָל לִבְנֵי יוֹסֵף מִיַּרְדֵּן יְרִיחוֹ לְמֵי יְרִיחוֹ מִזְרָחָה הַמִּדְבָּר עֹלֶה מִֽירִיחוֹ בָּהָר בֵּֽית-אֵֽל׃
And the lot of the children of Joseph fell from Jordan by Jericho, unto the water of Jericho on the east, to the wilderness that goeth up from Jericho throughout mount Beth-el,
וַיְהִי הַגּוֹרָל לְמַטֵּה מְנַשֶּׁה כִּי-הוּא בְּכוֹר יוֹסֵף לְמָכִיר בְּכוֹר מְנַשֶּׁה אֲבִי הַגִּלְעָד כִּי הוּא הָיָה אִישׁ מִלְחָמָה וַֽיְהִי-לוֹ הַגִּלְעָד וְהַבָּשָֽׁן׃
There was also a lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he was the firstborn of Joseph; to wit, for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead: because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan.
וַֽיְדַבְּרוּ בְּנֵי יוֹסֵף אֶת-יְהוֹשֻׁעַ לֵאמֹר מַדּוּעַ נָתַתָּה לִּי נַֽחֲלָה גּוֹרָל אֶחָד וְחֶבֶל אֶחָד וַֽאֲנִי עַם-רָב עַד אֲשֶׁר-עַד-כֹּה בֵּֽרְכַנִי יְהוָֽה׃
And the children of Joseph spake unto Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given me but one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing I am a great people, forasmuch as the LORD hath blessed me hitherto?
וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוֹשֻׁעַ אֶל-בֵּית יוֹסֵף לְאֶפְרַיִם וְלִמְנַשֶּׁה לֵאמֹר עַם-רַב אַתָּה וְכֹחַ גָּדוֹל לָךְ לֹֽא-יִהְיֶה לְךָ גּוֹרָל אֶחָֽד׃
And Joshua spake unto the house of Joseph, even to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, Thou art a great people, and hast great power: thou shalt not have one lot only:
וְהִֽתְחַלְּקוּ אֹתָהּ לְשִׁבְעָה חֲלָקִים יְהוּדָה יַֽעֲמֹד עַל-גְּבוּלוֹ מִנֶּגֶב וּבֵית יוֹסֵף יַֽעַמְדוּ עַל-גְּבוּלָם מִצָּפֽוֹן׃
And they shall divide it into seven parts: Judah shall abide in their coast on the south, and the house of Joseph shall abide in their coasts on the north.
וְאַתֶּם תִּכְתְּבוּ אֶת-הָאָרֶץ שִׁבְעָה חֲלָקִים וַֽהֲבֵאתֶם אֵלַי הֵנָּה וְיָרִיתִי לָכֶם גּוֹרָל פֹּה לִפְנֵי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ׃
Ye shall therefore describe the land into seven parts, and bring the description hither to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the LORD our God.
כִּי אֵֽין-חֵלֶק לַלְוִיִּם בְּקִרְבְּכֶם כִּֽי-כְהֻנַּת יְהוָה נַֽחֲלָתוֹ וְגָד וּרְאוּבֵן וַֽחֲצִי שֵׁבֶט הַֽמְנַשֶּׁה לָֽקְחוּ נַֽחֲלָתָם מֵעֵבֶר לַיַּרְדֵּן מִזְרָחָה אֲשֶׁר נָתַן לָהֶם מֹשֶׁה עֶבֶד יְהוָֽה׃
But the Levites have no part among you; for the priesthood of the LORD is their inheritance: and Gad, and Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh, have received their inheritance beyond Jordan on the east, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave them.
וַיָּקֻמוּ הָֽאֲנָשִׁים וַיֵּלֵכוּ וַיְצַו יְהוֹשֻׁעַ אֶת-הַהֹֽלְכִים לִכְתֹּב אֶת-הָאָרֶץ לֵאמֹר לְכוּ וְהִתְהַלְּכוּ בָאָרֶץ וְכִתְבוּ אוֹתָהּ וְשׁוּבוּ אֵלַי וּפֹה אַשְׁלִיךְ לָכֶם גּוֹרָל לִפְנֵי יְהוָה בְּשִׁלֹֽה׃
And the men arose, and went away: and Joshua charged them that went to describe the land, saying, Go and walk through the land, and describe it, and come again to me, that I may here cast lots for you before the LORD in Shiloh.
וַיֵּֽלְכוּ הָֽאֲנָשִׁים וַיַּֽעַבְרוּ בָאָרֶץ וַיִּכְתְּבוּהָ לֶֽעָרִים לְשִׁבְעָה חֲלָקִים עַל-סֵפֶר וַיָּבֹאוּ אֶל-יְהוֹשֻׁעַ אֶל-הַֽמַּחֲנֶה שִׁלֹֽה׃
And the men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities into seven parts in a book, and came again to Joshua to the host at Shiloh.
וַיַּשְׁלֵךְ לָהֶם יְהוֹשֻׁעַ גּוֹרָל בְּשִׁלֹה לִפְנֵי יְהוָה וַיְחַלֶּק-שָׁם יְהוֹשֻׁעַ אֶת-הָאָרֶץ לִבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל כְּמַחְלְקֹתָֽם׃
And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD: and there Joshua divided the land unto the children of Israel according to their divisions.
וַיַּעַל גּוֹרַל מַטֵּה בְנֵֽי-בִנְיָמִן לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָם וַיֵּצֵא גְּבוּל גּֽוֹרָלָם בֵּין בְּנֵי יְהוּדָה וּבֵין בְּנֵי יוֹסֵֽף׃
And the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their families: and the coast of their lot came forth between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph.
וַיֵּצֵא הַגּוֹרָל הַשֵּׁנִי לְשִׁמְעוֹן לְמַטֵּה בְנֵֽי-שִׁמְעוֹן לְמִשְׁפְּחוֹתָם וַֽיְהִי נַֽחֲלָתָם בְּתוֹךְ נַֽחֲלַת בְּנֵֽי-יְהוּדָֽה׃
And the second lot came forth to Simeon, even for the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families: and their inheritance was within the inheritance of the children of Judah.
מֵחֶבֶל בְּנֵי יְהוּדָה נַֽחֲלַת בְּנֵי שִׁמְעוֹן כִּֽי-הָיָה חֵלֶק בְּנֵֽי-יְהוּדָה רַב מֵהֶם וַיִּנְחֲלוּ בְנֵֽי-שִׁמְעוֹן בְּתוֹךְ נַֽחֲלָתָֽם׃
Out of the portion of the children of Judah was the inheritance of the children of Simeon: for the part of the children of Judah was too much for them: therefore the children of Simeon had their inheritance within the inheritance of them.
וַיַּעַל הַגּוֹרָל הַשְּׁלִישִׁי לִבְנֵי זְבוּלֻן לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָם וַיְהִי גְּבוּל נַֽחֲלָתָם עַד-שָׂרִֽיד׃
And the third lot came up for the children of Zebulun according to their families: and the border of their inheritance was unto Sarid:
לְיִשָּׂשכָר יָצָא הַגּוֹרָל הָֽרְבִיעִי לִבְנֵי יִשָּׂשכָר לְמִשְׁפְּחוֹתָֽם׃
And the fourth lot came out to Issachar, for the children of Issachar according to their families.
וַיֵּצֵא הַגּוֹרָל הַֽחֲמִישִׁי לְמַטֵּה בְנֵֽי-אָשֵׁר לְמִשְׁפְּחוֹתָֽם׃
And the fifth lot came out for the tribe of the children of Asher according to their families.
לִבְנֵי נַפְתָּלִי יָצָא הַגּוֹרָל הַשִּׁשִּׁי לִבְנֵי נַפְתָּלִי לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָֽם׃
The sixth lot came out to the children of Naphtali, even for the children of Naphtali according to their families.
לְמַטֵּה בְנֵי-דָן לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָם יָצָא הַגּוֹרָל הַשְּׁבִיעִֽי׃
And the seventh lot came out for the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families.
אֵלֶּה הַנְּחָלֹת אֲשֶׁר נִֽחֲלוּ אֶלְעָזָר הַכֹּהֵן׀ וִֽיהוֹשֻׁעַ בִּן-נוּן וְרָאשֵׁי הָֽאָבוֹת לְמַטּוֹת בְּנֵֽי-יִשְׂרָאֵל׀ בְּגוֹרָל׀ בְּשִׁלֹה לִפְנֵי יְהוָה פֶּתַח אֹהֶל מוֹעֵד וַיְכַלּוּ מֵֽחַלֵּק אֶת-הָאָֽרֶץ׃
These are the inheritances, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel, divided for an inheritance by lot in Shiloh before the LORD, at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. So they made an end of dividing the country.
וַיֵּצֵא הַגּוֹרָל לְמִשְׁפְּחֹת הַקְּהָתִי וַיְהִי לִבְנֵי אַֽהֲרֹן הַכֹּהֵן מִן-הַלְוִיִּם מִמַּטֵּה יְהוּדָה וּמִמַּטֵּה הַשִּׁמְעֹנִי וּמִמַּטֵּה בִנְיָמִן בַּגּוֹרָל עָרִים שְׁלֹשׁ עֶשְׂרֵֽה׃
And the lot came out for the families of the Kohathites: and the children of Aaron the priest, which were of the Levites, had by lot out of the tribe of Judah, and out of the tribe of Simeon, and out of the tribe of Benjamin, thirteen cities.
וְלִבְנֵי קְהָת הַנּֽוֹתָרִים מִמִּשְׁפְּחֹת מַטֵּֽה-אֶפְרַיִם וּֽמִמַּטֵּה-דָן וּמֵֽחֲצִי מַטֵּה מְנַשֶּׁה בַּגּוֹרָל עָרִים עָֽשֶׂר׃
And the rest of the children of Kohath had by lot out of the families of the tribe of Ephraim, and out of the tribe of Dan, and out of the half tribe of Manasseh, ten cities.
וְלִבְנֵי גֵֽרְשׁוֹן מִמִּשְׁפְּחוֹת מַטֵּֽה-יִשָּׂשכָר וּמִמַּטֵּֽה-אָשֵׁר וּמִמַּטֵּה נַפְתָּלִי וּמֵֽחֲצִי מַטֵּה מְנַשֶּׁה בַבָּשָׁן בַּגּוֹרָל עָרִים שְׁלֹשׁ עֶשְׂרֵֽה׃
And the children of Gershon had by lot out of the families of the tribe of Issachar, and out of the tribe of Asher, and out of the tribe of Naphtali, and out of the half tribe of Manasseh in Bashan, thirteen cities.
וַיִּתְּנוּ בְנֵֽי-יִשְׂרָאֵל לַלְוִיִּם אֶת-הֶֽעָרִים הָאֵלֶּה וְאֶת-מִגְרְשֵׁיהֶן כַּֽאֲשֶׁר צִוָּה יְהוָה בְּיַד-מֹשֶׁה בַּגּוֹרָֽל׃
And the children of Israel gave by lot unto the Levites these cities with their suburbs, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.
וַֽיְהִי לִבְנֵי אַֽהֲרֹן מִמִּשְׁפְּחוֹת הַקְּהָתִי מִבְּנֵי לֵוִי כִּי לָהֶם הָיָה הַגּוֹרָל רִֽאישֹׁנָֽה׃
Which the children of Aaron, being of the families of the Kohathites, who were of the children of Levi, had: for theirs was the first lot.
וּלְמִשְׁפְּחוֹת בְּנֵֽי-קְהָת הַלְוִיִּם הַנּֽוֹתָרִים מִבְּנֵי קְהָת וַֽיְהִי עָרֵי גֽוֹרָלָם מִמַּטֵּה אֶפְרָֽיִם׃
And the families of the children of Kohath, the Levites which remained of the children of Kohath, even they had the cities of their lot out of the tribe of Ephraim.
כָּל-הֶעָרִים לִבְנֵי מְרָרִי לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָם הַנּֽוֹתָרִים מִמִּשְׁפְּחוֹת הַלְוִיִּם וַֽיְהִי גּֽוֹרָלָם עָרִים שְׁתֵּים עֶשְׂרֵֽה׃
So all the cities for the children of Merari by their families, which were remaining of the families of the Levites, were by their lot twelve cities.
וּגְבוּל נָֽתַן-יְהוָה בֵּינֵנוּ וּבֵֽינֵיכֶם בְּנֵֽי-רְאוּבֵן וּבְנֵי-גָד אֶת-הַיַּרְדֵּן אֵין-לָכֶם חֵלֶק בַּֽיהוָה וְהִשְׁבִּיתוּ בְנֵיכֶם אֶת-בָּנֵינוּ לְבִלְתִּי יְרֹא אֶת-יְהוָֽה׃
For the LORD hath made Jordan a border between us and you, ye children of Reuben and children of Gad; ye have no part in the LORD: so shall your children make our children cease from fearing the LORD.
כִּי עֵד הוּא בֵּינֵינוּ וּבֵֽינֵיכֶם וּבֵין דֹּֽרוֹתֵינוּ אַֽחֲרֵינוּ לַֽעֲבֹד אֶת-עֲבֹדַת יְהוָה לְפָנָיו בְּעֹֽלוֹתֵינוּ וּבִזְבָחֵינוּ וּבִשְׁלָמֵינוּ וְלֹֽא-יֹאמְרוּ בְנֵיכֶם מָחָר לְבָנֵינוּ אֵין-לָכֶם חֵלֶק בַּֽיהוָֽה׃
But that it may be a witness between us, and you, and our generations after us, that we might do the service of the LORD before him with our burnt offerings, and with our sacrifices, and with our peace offerings; that your children may not say to our children in time to come, Ye have no part in the LORD.
וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוּדָה לְשִׁמְעוֹן אָחִיו עֲלֵה אִתִּי בְגֹֽרָלִי וְנִֽלָּחֲמָה בַּֽכְּנַעֲנִי וְהָֽלַכְתִּי גַם-אֲנִי אִתְּךָ בְּגֽוֹרָלֶךָ וַיֵּלֶךְ אִתּוֹ שִׁמְעֽוֹן׃
And Judah said unto Simeon his brother, Come up with me into my lot, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise will go with thee into thy lot. So Simeon went with him.
וְעַתָּה זֶה הַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר נַֽעֲשֶׂה לַגִּבְעָה עָלֶיהָ בְּגוֹרָֽל׃
But now this shall be the thing which we will do to Gibeah; we will go up by lot against it;
וּמִי יִשְׁמַע לָכֶם לַדָּבָר הַזֶּה כִּי כְּחֵלֶק׀ הַיֹּרֵד בַּמִּלְחָמָה וּֽכְחֵלֶק הַיֹּשֵׁב עַל-הַכֵּלִים יַחְדָּו יַֽחֲלֹֽקוּ׃
For who will hearken unto you in this matter? but as his part is that goeth down to the battle, so shall his part be that tarrieth by the stuff: they shall part alike.
וְשָׁם נִקְרָא אִישׁ בְּלִיַּעַל וּשְׁמוֹ שֶׁבַע בֶּן-בִּכְרִי אִישׁ יְמִינִי וַיִּתְקַע בַּשֹּׁפָר וַיֹּאמֶר אֵֽין-לָנוּ חֵלֶק בְּדָוִד וְלֹא נַֽחֲלָה-לָנוּ בְּבֶן-יִשַׁי אִישׁ לְאֹֽהָלָיו יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And there happened to be there a man of Belial, whose name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjamite: and he blew a trumpet, and said, We have no part in David, neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to his tents, O Israel.
וַיַּרְא כָּל-יִשְׂרָאֵל כִּי לֹֽא-שָׁמַע הַמֶּלֶךְ אֲלֵהֶם וַיָּשִׁבוּ הָעָם אֶת-הַמֶּלֶךְ׀ דָּבָר׀ לֵאמֹר מַה-לָּנוּ חֵלֶק בְּדָוִד וְלֹֽא-נַחֲלָה בְּבֶן-יִשַׁי לְאֹֽהָלֶיךָ יִשְׂרָאֵל עַתָּה רְאֵה בֵֽיתְךָ דָּוִד וַיֵּלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל לְאֹֽהָלָֽיו׃
So when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your tents, O Israel: now see to thine own house, David. So Israel departed unto their tents.
וְאֶת-אִיזֶבֶל יֹֽאכְלוּ הַכְּלָבִים בְּחֵלֶק יִזְרְעֶאל וְאֵין קֹבֵר וַיִּפְתַּח הַדֶּלֶת וַיָּנֹֽס׃
And the dogs shall eat Jezebel in the portion of Jezreel, and there shall be none to bury her. And he opened the door, and fled.
וַיָּשֻׁבוּ וַיַּגִּידוּ לוֹ וַיֹּאמֶר דְּבַר-יְהוָה הוּא אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר בְּיַד-עַבְדּוֹ אֵֽלִיָּהוּ הַתִּשְׁבִּי לֵאמֹר בְּחֵלֶק יִזְרְעֶאל יֹֽאכְלוּ הַכְּלָבִים אֶת-בְּשַׂר אִיזָֽבֶל׃
Wherefore they came again, and told him. And he said, This is the word of the LORD, which he spake by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel shall dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel:
(והית) וְֽהָיְתָה נִבְלַת אִיזֶבֶל כְּדֹמֶן עַל-פְּנֵי הַשָּׂדֶה בְּחֵלֶק יִזְרְעֶאל אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא-יֹאמְרוּ זֹאת אִיזָֽבֶל׃
And the carcase of Jezebel shall be as dung upon the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel; so that they shall not say, This is Jezebel.
וְאֵלֶּה מֽוֹשְׁבוֹתָם לְטִֽירוֹתָם בִּגְבוּלָם לִבְנֵי אַֽהֲרֹן לְמִשְׁפַּחַת הַקְּהָתִי כִּי לָהֶם הָיָה הַגּוֹרָֽל׃
Now these are their dwelling places throughout their castles in their coasts, of the sons of Aaron, of the families of the Kohathites: for theirs was the lot.
וְלִבְנֵי קְהָת הַנּֽוֹתָרִים מִמִּשְׁפַּחַת הַמַּטֶּה מִֽמַּחֲצִית מַטֵּה חֲצִי מְנַשֶּׁה בַּגּוֹרָל עָרִים עָֽשֶׂר׃
And unto the sons of Kohath, which were left of the family of that tribe, were cities given out of the half tribe, namely, out of the half tribe of Manasseh, by lot, ten cities.
לִבְנֵי מְרָרִי לְמִשְׁפְּחוֹתָם מִמַּטֵּה רְאוּבֵן וּֽמִמַּטֵּה-גָד וּמִמַּטֵּה זְבֻלוּן בַּגּוֹרָל עָרִים שְׁתֵּים עֶשְׂרֵֽה׃
Unto the sons of Merari were given by lot, throughout their families, out of the tribe of Reuben, and out of the tribe of Gad, and out of the tribe of Zebulun, twelve cities.
וַיִּתְּנוּ בַגּוֹרָל מִמַּטֵּה בְנֵֽי-יְהוּדָה וּמִמַּטֵּה בְנֵֽי-שִׁמְעוֹן וּמִמַּטֵּה בְּנֵי בִנְיָמִן אֵת הֶֽעָרִים הָאֵלֶּה אֲשֶׁר-יִקְרְאוּ אֶתְהֶם בְּשֵׁמֽוֹת׃
And they gave by lot out of the tribe of the children of Judah, and out of the tribe of the children of Simeon, and out of the tribe of the children of Benjamin, these cities, which are called by their names.
וַיַּחְלְקוּם בְּגֽוֹרָלוֹת אֵלֶּה עִם-אֵלֶּה כִּֽי-הָיוּ שָֽׂרֵי-קֹדֶשׁ וְשָׂרֵי הָֽאֱלֹהִים מִבְּנֵי אֶלְעָזָר וּבִבְנֵי אִֽיתָמָֽר׃
Thus were they divided by lot, one sort with another; for the governors of the sanctuary, and governors of the house of God, were of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar.
וַיֵּצֵא הַגּוֹרָל הָֽרִאשׁוֹן לִיהוֹיָרִיב לִֽידַעְיָה הַשֵּׁנִֽי׃
Now the first lot came forth to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah,
וַיַּפִּילוּ גַם-הֵם גּֽוֹרָלוֹת לְעֻמַּת׀ אֲחֵיהֶם בְּנֵֽי-אַהֲרֹן לִפְנֵי דָוִיד הַמֶּלֶךְ וְצָדוֹק וַֽאֲחִימֶלֶךְ וְרָאשֵׁי הָֽאָבוֹת לַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְלַלְוִיִּם אָבוֹת הָרֹאשׁ לְעֻמַּת אָחִיו הַקָּטָֽן׃
These likewise cast lots over against their brethren the sons of Aaron in the presence of David the king, and Zadok, and Ahimelech, and the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levites, even the principal fathers over against their younger brethren.
וַיַּפִּילוּ גּֽוֹרָלוֹת מִשְׁמֶרֶת לְעֻמַּת כַּקָּטֹן כַּגָּדוֹל מֵבִין עִם-תַּלְמִֽיד׃
And they cast lots, ward against ward, as well the small as the great, the teacher as the scholar.
וַיֵּצֵא הַגּוֹרָל הָֽרִאשׁוֹן לְאָסָף לְיוֹסֵף גְּדַלְיָהוּ הַשֵּׁנִי הֽוּא-וְאֶחָיו וּבָנָיו שְׁנֵים עָשָֽׂר׃
Now the first lot came forth for Asaph to Joseph: the second to Gedaliah, who with his brethren and sons were twelve:
וַיַּפִּילוּ גֽוֹרָלוֹת כַּקָּטֹן כַּגָּדוֹל לְבֵית אֲבוֹתָם לְשַׁעַר וָשָֽׁעַר׃
And they cast lots, as well the small as the great, according to the house of their fathers, for every gate.
וַיִּפֹּל הַגּוֹרָל מִזְרָחָה לְשֶֽׁלֶמְיָהוּ וּזְכַרְיָהוּ בְנוֹ יוֹעֵץ׀ בְּשֶׂכֶל הִפִּילוּ גּֽוֹרָלוֹת וַיֵּצֵא גֽוֹרָלוֹ צָפֽוֹנָה׃
And the lot eastward fell to Shelemiah. Then for Zechariah his son, a wise counseller, they cast lots; and his lot came out northward.
וְכָל-יִשְׂרָאֵל כִּי לֹֽא-שָׁמַע הַמֶּלֶךְ לָהֶם וַיָּשִׁיבוּ הָעָם אֶת-הַמֶּלֶךְ׀ לֵאמֹר מַה-לָּנוּ חֵלֶק בְּדָוִיד וְלֹֽא-נַחֲלָה בְּבֶן-יִשַׁי אִישׁ לְאֹֽהָלֶיךָ יִשְׂרָאֵל עַתָּה רְאֵה בֵֽיתְךָ דָּוִיד וַיֵּלֶךְ כָּל-יִשְׂרָאֵל לְאֹֽהָלָֽיו׃
And when all Israel saw that the king would not hearken unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? and we have none inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to your tents, O Israel: and now, David, see to thine own house. So all Israel went to their tents.
וָֽאָשִׁיב אוֹתָם דָּבָר וָֽאוֹמַר לָהֶם אֱלֹהֵי הַשָּׁמַיִם הוּא יַצְלִיחַֽ לָנוּ וַֽאֲנַחְנוּ עֲבָדָיו נָקוּם וּבָנִינוּ וְלָכֶם אֵֽין-חֵלֶק וּצְדָקָה וְזִכָּרוֹן בִּירֽוּשָׁלִָֽם׃
Then answered I them, and said unto them, The God of heaven, he will prosper us; therefore we his servants will arise and build: but ye have no portion, nor right, nor memorial, in Jerusalem.
וְהַגּֽוֹרָלוֹת הִפַּלְנוּ עַל-קֻרְבַּן הָֽעֵצִים הַכֹּֽהֲנִים הַלְוִיִּם וְהָעָם לְהָבִיא לְבֵית אֱלֹהֵינוּ לְבֵית-אֲבֹתֵינוּ לְעִתִּים מְזֻמָּנִים שָׁנָה בְשָׁנָה לְבַעֵר עַל-מִזְבַּח יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ כַּכָּתוּב בַּתּוֹרָֽה׃
And we cast the lots among the priests, the Levites, and the people, for the wood offering, to bring it into the house of our God, after the houses of our fathers, at times appointed year by year, to burn upon the altar of the LORD our God, as it is written in the law:
וַיֵּֽשְׁבוּ שָׂרֵֽי-הָעָם בִּירֽוּשָׁלִָם וּשְׁאָר הָעָם הִפִּילוּ גֽוֹרָלוֹת לְהָבִיא׀ אֶחָד מִן-הָֽעֲשָׂרָה לָשֶׁבֶת בִּירֽוּשָׁלִַם עִיר הַקֹּדֶשׁ וְתֵשַׁע הַיָּדוֹת בֶּֽעָרִֽים׃
And the rulers of the people dwelt at Jerusalem: the rest of the people also cast lots, to bring one of ten to dwell in Jerusalem the holy city, and nine parts to dwell in other cities.
בַּחֹדֶשׁ הָֽרִאשׁוֹן הוּא-חֹדֶשׁ נִיסָן בִּשְׁנַת שְׁתֵּים עֶשְׂרֵה לַמֶּלֶךְ אֲחַשְׁוֵרוֹשׁ הִפִּיל פּוּר הוּא הַגּוֹרָל לִפְנֵי הָמָן מִיּוֹם׀ לְיוֹם וּמֵחֹדֶשׁ לְחֹדֶשׁ שְׁנֵים-עָשָׂר הוּא-חֹדֶשׁ אֲדָֽר׃
In the first month, that is, the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, they cast Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, to the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar.
כִּי הָמָן בֶּֽן-הַמְּדָתָא הָֽאֲגָגִי צֹרֵר כָּל-הַיְּהוּדִים חָשַׁב עַל-הַיְּהוּדִים לְאַבְּדָם וְהִפִּיל פּוּר הוּא הַגּוֹרָל לְהֻמָּם וּֽלְאַבְּדָֽם׃
Because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had devised against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast Pur, that is, the lot, to consume them, and to destroy them;
לְחֵלֶק יַגִּיד רֵעִים וְעֵינֵי בָנָיו תִּכְלֶֽנָה׃
He that speaketh flattery to his friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail.
זֶה׀ חֵֽלֶק-אָדָם רָשָׁע מֵאֱלֹהִים וְנַחֲלַת אִמְרוֹ מֵאֵֽל׃
This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed unto him by God.
זֶה׀ חֵֽלֶק-אָדָם רָשָׁע׀ עִם-אֵל וְֽנַחֲלַת עָרִיצִים מִשַּׁדַּי יִקָּֽחוּ׃
This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty.
וּמֶה׀ חֵלֶק אֱלוֹהַּ מִמָּעַל וְֽנַחֲלַת שַׁדַּי מִמְּרֹמִֽים׃
For what portion of God is there from above? and what inheritance of the Almighty from on high?
אַעֲנֶה אַף-אֲנִי חֶלְקִי אֲחַוֶּה דֵעִי אַף-אָֽנִי׃
I said, I will answer also my part, I also will shew mine opinion.
יְֽהוָה מְנָת-חֶלְקִי וְכוֹסִי אַתָּה תּוֹמִיךְ גּוֹרָלִֽי׃
The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
מִֽמְתִים יָדְךָ׀ יְהוָה מִֽמְתִים מֵחֶלֶד חֶלְקָם בַּֽחַיִּים וּֽצְפוּנְךָ תְּמַלֵּא בִטְנָם יִשְׂבְּעוּ בָנִים וְהִנִּיחוּ יִתְרָם לְעוֹלְלֵיהֶֽם׃
From men which are thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.
יְחַלְּקוּ בְגָדַי לָהֶם וְעַל-לְבוּשִׁי יַפִּילוּ גוֹרָֽל׃
They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
אִם-רָאִיתָ גַנָּב וַתִּרֶץ עִמּוֹ וְעִם מְנָאֲפִים חֶלְקֶֽךָ׃
When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers.
כָּלָה שְׁאֵרִי וּלְבָבִי צוּר-לְבָבִי וְחֶלְקִי אֱלֹהִים לְעוֹלָֽם׃
My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.
חֶלְקִי יְהוָה אָמַרְתִּי לִשְׁמֹר דְּבָרֶֽיךָ׃
Thou art my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep thy words.
כִּי לֹא יָנוּחַ שֵׁבֶט הָרֶשַׁע עַל גּוֹרַל הַֽצַּדִּיקִים לְמַעַן לֹא-יִשְׁלְחוּ הַצַּדִּיקִים בְּעַוְלָתָה יְדֵיהֶֽם׃
For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.
זָעַקְתִּי אֵלֶיךָ יְהוָה אָמַרְתִּי אַתָּה מַחְסִי חֶלְקִי בְּאֶרֶץ הַֽחַיִּים׃
I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.
גּוֹרָלְךָ תַּפִּיל בְּתוֹכֵנוּ כִּיס אֶחָד יִהְיֶה לְכֻלָּֽנוּ׃
Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:
הִטַּתּוּ בְּרֹב לִקְחָהּ בְּחֵלֶק שְׂפָתֶיהָ תַּדִּיחֶֽנּוּ׃
With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.
בַּחֵיק יוּטַל אֶת-הַגּוֹרָל וּמֵיְהוָה כָּל-מִשְׁפָּטֽוֹ׃
The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the LORD.
מִדְיָנִים יַשְׁבִּית הַגּוֹרָל וּבֵין עֲצוּמִים יַפְרִֽיד׃
The lot causeth contentions to cease, and parteth between the mighty.
וְכֹל אֲשֶׁר שָֽׁאֲלוּ עֵינַי לֹא אָצַלְתִּי מֵהֶם לֹֽא-מָנַעְתִּי אֶת-לִבִּי מִכָּל-שִׂמְחָה כִּֽי-לִבִּי שָׂמֵחַ מִכָּל-עֲמָלִי וְזֶֽה-הָיָה חֶלְקִי מִכָּל-עֲמָלִֽי׃
And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them, I withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced in all my labour: and this was my portion of all my labour.
כִּי-יֵשׁ אָדָם שֶׁעֲמָלוֹ בְּחָכְמָה וּבְדַעַת וּבְכִשְׁרוֹן וּלְאָדָם שֶׁלֹּא עָֽמַל-בּוֹ יִתְּנֶנּוּ חֶלְקוֹ גַּם-זֶה הֶבֶל וְרָעָה רַבָּֽה׃
For there is a man whose labour is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in equity; yet to a man that hath not laboured therein shall he leave it for his portion. This also is vanity and a great evil.
וְרָאִיתִי כִּי אֵין טוֹב מֵאֲשֶׁר יִשְׂמַח הָאָדָם בְּֽמַעֲשָׂיו כִּי-הוּא חֶלְקוֹ כִּי מִי יְבִיאֶנּוּ לִרְאוֹת בְּמֶה שֶׁיִּהְיֶה אַחֲרָֽיו׃
Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?
הִנֵּה אֲשֶׁר-רָאִיתִי אָנִי טוֹב אֲשֶׁר-יָפֶה לֶֽאֶכוֹל-וְלִשְׁתּוֹת וְלִרְאוֹת טוֹבָה בְּכָל-עֲמָלוֹ׀ שֶׁיַּעֲמֹל תַּֽחַת-הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ מִסְפַּר יְמֵֽי-(חיו) חַיָּיו אֲשֶׁר-נָֽתַן-לוֹ הָאֱלֹהִים כִּי-הוּא חֶלְקֽוֹ׃
Behold that which I have seen: it is good and comely for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labour that he taketh under the sun all the days of his life, which God giveth him: for it is his portion.
גַּם כָּֽל-הָאָדָם אֲשֶׁר נָֽתַן-לוֹ הָאֱלֹהִים עֹשֶׁר וּנְכָסִים וְהִשְׁלִיטוֹ לֶאֱכֹל מִמֶּנּוּ וְלָשֵׂאת אֶת-חֶלְקוֹ וְלִשְׂמֹחַ בַּעֲמָלוֹ זֹה מַתַּת אֱלֹהִים הִֽיא׃
Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this is the gift of God.
