 PRE FAC E. 
 
 The design of this publication is to present to the reader a 
 faithful expression of the mind of the Spirit, in our own lan- 
 guage. As the great mass of readers must become acquainted 
 with the words of inspiration through the medium of transla- 
 tions, it becomes an important object that such translations 
 should be correct ; and that, when they are obscure, either from 
 the practice of transferring words which belong to the original 
 languages, or from mistakes in rendering words, the obscurity 
 should be removed. So, if the terms used in a translation have 
 become obsolete, and are no longeremployed in writing or conver- 
 sation, no good reason can be assigned for not substituting others 
 in their place, which are understood. In the present work, 
 nothing beyond a careful revision of the version of King James 
 has been attempted ; followed by such corrections as the inte- 
 rests of truth and the original text seemed to require. 
 
 The Holy Scriptures were written in Hebrew, Chaldaic, 
 and Greek. The first translation of the Old Testament, was 
 made about the year 285 before the Christian era. It was exe- 
 cuted at Alexandria, in Egypt, into the Greek language, and is 
 called the " Septuagint," or the "Version of the Seventy." 
 The language spoken by the Saviour and his apostles was, pro- 
 bably, Syro-Chaldaic ; but, owing to the prevalence of the 
 Greek language, the New Testament was written in that lan- 
 guage. A translation of the New Testament was made, in 
 the Syriac, before the close of the second century. The first 
 translation in Latin was made early in the second century, and is 
 called " Itala," or " Oldltalic Version." Jerome's revision of 
 the "Italic" was made at the close of the fourth century, and is 
 termed the " Vulgate." At the Council of Trent, in 1545, the 
 Vulgate was declared to be the standard version of the Roman 
 Catholic Church, and to be of equal authority to the original 
 Scriptures. 
 
 The first English version of the Scriptures was executed 
 about the year 1290. The first translation of the New Testa- 
 ment ever published, was made by Wickliffe, in 1380. The 
 second, by William Tindal, in 1526. The first English Bible, 
 or complete translation of the Scriptures, printed, was by Miles 
 Coverdale, the first edition of which bears date 1535. Matthew's 
 version (which was a revision of Tindal's and Coverdale's) was 
 published in 1527; Cranmer's, in 1539; the Geneva, in 1560; 
 the Bishops', in 1568; the Douay, (Roman Catholic,) in 1610; 
 and the common version in 1611. A college of fifty-four per- 
 sons was appointed by King James I. to execute this version, 
 forty-seven of whom were engaged in the work. The king 
 imposed fifteen rules on these translators, to govern them in 
 the performance of their task. The first rule enjoined, that 
 " the language of the Bishops' Bible should be adhered to, re- 
 ceiving as few alterations as might be consistent with truth, and 
 to pass throughout, unless the original called plainly for an 
 amendment." The thirteenth rule enjoined, that " the trans- 
 lations of Tindal, Coverdale, Matthew, Whitchurch, (Cran- 
 mer,) and Geneva should be used, when they come closer to 
 the original than the Bishops' Bible." The third rule enjoined, 
 that " the old ecclesiastical words should be retained;" among 
 these were church, bishop, and baptize. 
 
 From these facts, and from comparing the translation of King 
 James with those which preceded it, nothing is more obvious, 
 than that the common version is but a revision of those executed 
 by Tindal, Coverdale, and others, and that, however excellent 
 it may be, the paramount praise, under God, is due to William 
 Tindal and Miles Coverdale. 
 
 Another tmng equally plain, is, that whatever may have been 
 the choice of King James's translators, they were restricted 
 from changing terms and translating words which obscure the 
 word of God. A foundation has thus been laid for perverting 
 the ordinances of Christ, and for consequent division among 
 Christians. 
 
 Owing to this fact and to other defects in the common ver- 
 sion, an opinion has prevailed to some extent, that it should be 
 revised and amended, or translated anew. In accordance with 
 this sentiment, new translations of the Bible, or revisions of the 
 common version, in whole or in part, have been made by 
 Thomson, Webster, Wesley, Scarlet, Wakefield, Dickenson, 
 Harwood, G. Campbell, Macknight, Stewart, Doddridge, and 
 some others. 
 
 These endeavours, in connection with the numberless at- 
 tempts by commentaries, sermons, and essays, to correct the 
 translation of many parts of King James's version, clearly in- 
 dicate that something effectual is needed. On account of the 
 failure of these efforts to satisfy entirely the public mind, some 
 have believed that all attempts to improve the common version 
 must fail. But obvious reasons have prevented the general 
 and cordial acceptance of any of the various essays to improve 
 the English Bible. Most of the best performances of tins sort 
 embrace but a small portion of the sacred writings, and were 
 avowedly written to elucidate, rather than to supersede the 
 common version. The several translations of the whole New 
 Testament seem not to have been adapted nor intended for com- 
 mon use. Add to this, that the version of King James wa3 
 published in all forms, at all prices, and at no price ; while no 
 publisher thought of competing in behalf of the improved ver- 
 sions, by similar appeals to public favour. The Bible, " with 
 amendments of the language, by Noah Webster, LL.D.," is, 
 however, by no means a failure ; and, were nothing better pro- 
 vided, would, it is believed, supersede the common version in 
 a few years. 
 
 That there exists ability to improve the common version, is 
 most certain. Conceding all that is asked in favour of the " wis- 
 dom and piety of King James's translators," and of the general 
 " fidelity, perspicuity, simplicity, energy, and dignity" of their 
 translation, it should be borne in mind, that "in the nature 
 of the case, those translators were precluded access to various 
 sources of biblical criticism and elucidation which are abundant- 
 ly enjoyed at the present day." "We have a far more ex- 
 tended biblical apparatus than they had, or could have enjoyed 
 at the period in which they lived." " The publication of poly- 
 glotts ; the collation of ancient manuscripts and versions ; the 
 multiplication of grammars, lexicons, concordances, and criti- 
 cal dissertations ; the enlarged comparison of the affinities of 
 oriental dialect ; the researches of travellers into the geography, 
 manners, customs, natural history of the East ; the more accu- 
 rate tables of chronology, coins, weights, and measures, and 
 the more advanced state of scriptural criticism ; have all tended 
 to enrich us with facilities for performing such a work to which 
 our fathers were strangers." " But, not to dwell upon these, 
 nor upon the embarrassments thrown in their way by the arbi- 
 trary restrictions growing out of the prejudice, the pedantry, 
 or the caprice of the monarch by whom they were employed, 
 the common version is marred by blemishes of another kind 
 for which we cannot find the same apology." A few of the 
 many imperfections will be specified. 
 
 1. A want of uniformity in spelling the same word; for

 instance, Judah, Judas ; Jewry, Judea; Isaiah, Esaias; Jere- 
 miah, Jeremy, Jeremias ; Joshua, Jesus ; Elijah, Elias. Many 
 deem these defects worthy of correction ; among whom are 
 some of the eastern missionaries, who have collected the proper 
 names of the Bible, and proposed a uniform spelling of them. 
 Judson, Yates, and their associates are advocates of the pro- 
 posed corrections. 
 
 2. A want of uniformity in rendering the same words and 
 phrases which occur in different places, but mean the same 
 thing ; a defect to be attributed to the magnitude of the work, 
 and to the number of translators engaged. " Nor," says Pro- 
 fessor Bush, " should we, perhaps, dissent from what the trans- 
 lators have said in justification of their not tying themselves 
 down to an ' absolute identity of phrasing.' As they remark, 
 it would, perhaps, ' savour more of curiosity than wisdom,' 
 that translators should feel bound, in every case, to render" 
 Hebrew and Greek words by precisely the same words in Eng- 
 lish. In the translation of Hebrew and Greek words a diver- 
 sity of language may be justifiable, and in some instances, per- 
 haps, for the sake of euphony, desirable, when a variety of 
 English terms can be found, which are perfectly synonymous, 
 to express the meaning of those Greek and Hebrew words. 
 For example, the same Greek or Hebrew word which signifies 
 'purpose,' might sometimes be rendered intent; and thinlt, 
 suppose ; journeying, travelling ; pain, ache ; and joy, glad- 
 7iess, &c. 
 
 " Yet it is obvious," says the professor, " that a more scru- 
 pulous exactness may be justly required in a translation of the 
 Scriptures, than in any other translation ; and the instances ad- 
 duced will show that the translators have actually transcended 
 all reasonable allowance on this score, not only often varying 
 the terms unnecessarily, but so as to deprive the unlearned 
 reader of the signal advantages to be gained in the study of the 
 Bible from comparing terms and phrases strictly parallel." 
 
 The justice of this criticism will be evident from the follow- 
 ing specimens :

 Other instances might be adduced, but these are sufficient to 
 show that the translators have varied the rendering of terms so 
 as to make them express different things, where they are used 
 by the inspired writers to mean the same things. Such a 
 blemish in the translation of the Bible is justly reprehensible, 
 and demands amendment. 
 
 3. Another cause for revising King James's version, is the 
 use of many antiquated terms and phrases, which obscure the 
 sense of the sacred writers. The following are selected as ex- 
 
 amples : albeit, bestead, bewray, cracknels, daysman, earing, 
 habergeon, holpen, kine, leasing, let, magnifical, mufflers, mu- 
 nition, purtenance, prevent, ensue, ravin, bruit, eschew, wax, 
 trow, dureth, minish, garner, wist, tache, tale, seethe, sod, sod- 
 den, chode with, we do you to wit, stricken in age, &c. &c. 
 
 4. The indelicate terms, which the translators have needlessly 
 used, ought to be changed, and can be, as every scholar knows, 
 so as to convey the meaning of the inspired penmen in lan- 
 guage plain and delicate. This correction should be made, not 
 to gratify the fastidious, for that would be impossible, but to 
 remove those reasonable objections which true modesty must 
 always entertain. 
 
 5. Another reason for amendment, is the frequent failure of the 
 common version to express the meaning of the original. Many 
 examples of this might be given, more or less important. Thus, 
 Luke xxiii. 15, reads : " Nothing worthy of death is done unto 
 him," instead of " hath been done by him," Again, Heb. vii. 
 18, 19, reads: " For there is verily a disannulling of the com- 
 mandment going before, for the weakness and unprofitableness 
 thereof. For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing 
 in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God." 
 Compare with this the following : "For there becometh an an- 
 nulling of the former commandment from its weakness and un- 
 profitableness, (for the law made nothing perfect,) and the 
 bringing in of a better hope, by which we draw near to God." 
 
 6. A most weighty objection to the common version is, that 
 it leaves several most important words untranslated, thereby 
 rendering ambiguous the positive commands of Christ. 
 
 Many versions of the Scriptures have been rendered of less 
 worth by this absurd practice of transferring words, when, at 
 the same time, other words, perfectly proper for expressing 
 their meaning, could have been found in the appropriate lan- 
 guages of those versions. It is for this fault that the English 
 Catholic version has been severely, and not undeservedly cen- 
 sured. On this point it is believed, that if common consent 
 and common usage have completely naturalized words borrowed 
 or transferred from the original, so that the English reader 
 would attach to them the same ideas which existed in the minds 
 of the inspired writers, then, and then only, no good reason can 
 be offered for a change. But when these borrowed words are 
 variously interpreted by different sects, it becomes an obvious 
 duty to return to first principles. Let the words be faith- 
 fully translated, that the reader may, in view of his responsi- 
 bility to the great Author of revelation, decide whether he will 
 receive or reject his word. To leave a single thought, which 
 God has revealed to man, shrouded in the darkness of ancient 
 languages, or obscured through the changes which time pro- 
 duces in our own, can only become those who wish to take 
 away the key of knowledge from mankind. The religion of 
 the Saviour requires no pious frauds. It "doth not hate the 
 light." An apology for presenting the word, the whole word, 
 and nothing hut the word, to those who use the English or any 
 other language, will hardly be demanded, unless by such men 
 as believe that " ignorance is the mother of devotion." What- 
 ever may become of the conflicting creeds of sects, the truth 
 of God must stand for ever. Let the truth utter its voice in the 
 language of every nation under the whole heaven. Let men 
 possess the poor and contrite spirit, that trembleth at the word 
 of Jehovah ; and then, though the distinctive tenets of sects 
 may fade away, the Sun of Righteousness will arise on all the 
 world, with healing in his beams.

 Note.— In many of the important changes which have been made 
 in the Old Testament, the language of the Common Version is retained 
 in the margin. This course could not be adopted in the New Testa- 
 ment, without excluding a large portion of the marginal readings and 
 references. Hence it was omitted.

 CHAPTER I. 
 
 1 The creation of heaven and earth, 3 of the light, 
 6 of the firmament, 9 of the earth separated from 
 the waters, 11 and made fruitful, 14 of the sun, 
 moon, and stars, 20 of fish and fowl, 24 of beasts 
 and cattle, 26 of man in the image of God. 29 Also 
 the appointment of food. 
 
 IN the "beginning ''God created the 
 heaven and the earth. 
 
 2 And the earth was desolate and empty ; 
 and darkness was upon the face of the 
 deep : c and the Spirit of God moved upon 
 the face of the waters. 
 
 3 ^And God said, e Let there be light : 
 and there was light. 
 
 4 And God saw the light, that it was 
 good: and God divided tthe light from 
 the darkness. 
 
 5 And God called the light 'Day, and 
 the darkness he called Night: tand the 
 evening and the morning were the first 
 day. 
 
 6 If And God said, *Let there be a 
 ffirmament in the midst of the waters, 
 and let it divide the waters from the 
 waters. 
 
 7 And God .made the firmament, *and 
 divided the waters which were under the 
 firmament from the waters which were 
 'above the firmament: and it was so. 
 
 8 And God called the firmament Hea- 
 ven: and the evening and the morning 
 were the second day. 
 
 9 U And God said, *Let the waters 
 under the heaven be gathered into one 
 place, and let the dry land appear : and it 
 was so. 
 
 10 And God called the dry land Earth ; 
 and the collection of waters he called 
 Seas ; and God saw that it was good. 
 
 11 And God said, Let the earth 'bring 
 forth tgrass, the herb yielding seed, and 
 the fruit-tree yielding m fruit after its kind, 
 whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: 
 and it was so. 
 
 12 And the earth brought forth grass, the 
 herb yielding seed after its kind, and the 
 tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in 
 itself, after its kind : and God saw that it 
 was good. 
 
 13 And the evening and the morning 
 were the third day. 
 
 14 If And God said, Let there be "lights 
 in the firmament of the heaven, to divide 
 tthe day from the night ; and let them be 
 for signs 4 of "seasons, and of days, and 
 of years 
 
 15 And let them be for lights in the fir- 
 mament of the heaven to give light upon 
 the earth : and it was so. 
 
 16 And God 'made two great lights ; the 
 greater light tto rule the day, and 'the 
 lesser light to rule the night: he made r the 
 stars also. 
 
 17 And God set them in the firmament 
 of the heaven to give light upon the earth, 
 
 18 And to 'rule over the day, and over 
 the night, and to divide the light from the 
 darkness: and God saw that i£ was good. 
 
 19 And the evening and the morning 
 were the fourth day.

 20 And God said, Let the waters bring 
 forth abundantly the ||moving creature 
 that hath 5 tlife, and 6 let the fowls fly above 
 the earth in thetopen firmament of heaven. 
 
 21 And "God created great 7 sea-monsters, 
 and every living creature that moveth, 
 which the waters brought forth abundantly 
 after their kind, and every winged tow) 
 after its kind : and God saw that it wa? 
 good. 
 
 22 And God blessed them, saying, '"Be 
 fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters 
 in the seas, and let fowls multiply in the 
 earth. 
 
 23 And the evening and the morning 
 were the fifth day. 
 
 24 If And God said, Let the earth bring 
 forth the living creature after its kind, 
 cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of 
 the earth after its kind : and it was so. 
 
 25 And God made the beast of the earth 
 after its kind, and cattle after their kind, 
 and every thing that creepeth upon the 
 earth after its kind : and God saw that it 
 was good. 
 
 26 If And God said, "Let us make man 
 in our image, after our likeness : and y \et 
 them have dominion over the fish of the 
 sea, and over the fowls of the air, and 
 over the cattle, and over all the earth, and 
 over every creeping thing that creepeth 
 upon the earth. 
 
 27 So God created man in his own image, 
 z in the image of God created he him; "male 
 and female created he them. 
 
 28 And God blessed them, and God said 
 to them, *Be fruitful, and multiply, and 
 replenish the earth, and subdue it: and 
 have dominion over the fish of the sea, 
 and over the fowls of the air, and over 
 every living thing that t moveth upon the 
 earth. 
 
 29 If And God said, Behold, I have given 
 you every herb t bearing seed, which is 
 upon the face of all the earth, and every 
 tree 8 on which is the fruit of a tree yield- 
 ing seed ; "to you it shall be for 9 food. 
 
 30 And to d every beast of the earth, and 
 to every "fowl of the air, and to every thing 
 that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there 
 is tlife, J have given every green herb for 
 l0 food : and it was so. 
 
 31 And 'God saw every thing that he had 
 made, and behold, it was very good. And 
 the evening and the morning were the 
 sixth day. 
 
 CHAPTER II. 
 
 1 The first sabbath. 4 The manner of the creation. 
 8 The planting of the garden of Eden, 10 and 
 the river thereof. 17 The tree of knowledge only 
 forbidden. 19, 20 The naming of the creatures. 
 21 The making of woman, and institution of 
 marriage. 
 
 THUS the heavens and the earth were 
 finished, and "all the host of them. 
 
 2 6 And on the seventh day God ended 
 his work which he had made; and he 
 rested on the seventh day from all his 
 work which he had made. 
 
 3 And God "blessed the seventh day, and 
 sanctified it: because that in it he had 
 
 1 
 
The garden of Eden. 
 
 rested from all his work which God tcre- 
 ated and made. 
 
 4 If "'This is the origin of the heavens 
 and of the earth when they were created, 
 in the day that Jehovah God made the 
 earth and the heavens, 
 
 5 And every 'plant of the field before it 
 was in the earth, and every herb of the 
 field before it grew : for Jehovah God had 
 not 'caused it to rain upon the earth, and 
 there was not a man ? to till the ground. 
 
 6 But || there went up a mist from the 
 earth, and watered the whole face of the 
 ground. 
 
 7 And Jehovah God formed man to/ the 
 Must of the ground, and 'breathed into his 
 'nostrils the breath of life; and 'man be- 
 came a 2 living soul. 
 
 8 If And Jehovah God planted m a garden 
 "eastward in "Eden ; and there p he put the 
 man whom he had formed. 
 
 9 And out of the ground made Jehovah 
 God to grow 'every tree that is pleasant 
 to the sight, and good for food ; the tree 
 of life also in the midst of the garden, 
 'and the tree of knowledge of good and 
 evil. 
 
 10 And a river went out of Eden to wa- 
 ter the garden : and from thence it was 
 parted, and became 3 four heads. 
 
 11 The name of the first is Pison: that 
 is it which encompasseth "the whole land 
 of Havilah, where there is gold ; 
 
 12 And the gold of that land is good : 
 "there is bdellium and the onyx-stone. 
 
 13 And the name of the second river is 
 Gihon : the same is it that encompasseth 
 the whole land of tEthiopia. 
 
 14 And the name of the third river is 
 *Hiddekel : that is it which goeth ||towards 
 the east of Assyria. And the fourth river 
 is Euphrates. 
 
 15 And Jehovah God took ||the man, and 
 *put him into the garden of Eden, to dress 
 it, and to keep it. 
 
 16 And Jehovah God commanded the 
 man, saying, Of every tree of the garden 
 tthou mayest freely eat : 
 
 17 'But of the tree of the knowledge of 
 good and evil, "thou shalt not eat of it: for 
 in the day that thou eatest thereof 'tthou 
 shalt surely die. 
 
 18 ^ And Jehovah God said, It is not 
 good that the man should be alone : C I will 
 make him a "helper suited to him. 
 
 19 'And out of the ground Jehovah God 
 formed every beast of the field, and every 
 fowl of the air, and 'brought them to 
 II Adam to see what he would call them ; 
 and whatever Adam called every living 
 creature, that ivas the name of it. 
 
 SO And Adam tgave names to all cattle, 
 and to the fowls of the air, and to every 
 beast of the field : but for Adam there was 
 not found a 6 helper suited to him. 
 
 21 And Jehovah God caused a ? deep 
 sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept; 
 and he took one of his ribs, and closed up 
 the flesh instead of it. 
 
 22 And the rib, which Jehovah God had 
 taken from man, tmade he a woman, and 
 'brought her to the man. 
 
 23 And Adam said, This is now 'Tjone of 
 my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall 
 be called tWoman, because she was 'taken 
 out of tman.

 24 'Therefore shall a man leave his father

 and his wife, and were not "ashamed. 
 
 CHAPTER III. 
 
 I The serpent deceiveth Eve. 6 Man's shameful fall. 
 9 God arraignelh them. 14 The serpent is cursed. 
 15 The promised seed. 16 The punishment of man- 
 kind. 21 Their first clothing. 22 Their casting 
 out of paradise. 
 
 OW "the serpent was 'more 'cunning 
 than any beast of the field which Je- 
 hovah God had made : and he said to the 
 woman, tYea, hath God said, Ye shall not 
 eat of every tree of the garden ? 
 
 2 And the woman said to the serpent, 
 We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the 
 garden : 
 
 3 c But of the fruit of the tree which is in 
 the midst of the garden, God hath said, 
 Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye 
 touch it, lest ye die. 
 
 4 ''And the serpent said to the woman, 
 Ye shall not surely die : 
 
 5 For God doth know, that in the day 
 ye eat of it, then 'your eyes shall be 
 opened ; and ye shall be as 2 gods, know- 
 ing good and evil. 
 
 6 And when the woman saw that the tree 
 was good for food, and that ii?was tplea- 
 sant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired 
 to make one wise ; she took of the fruit 
 thereof, 'and did eat; and gave also to her 
 husband with her, *and he did eat. 
 
 7 And 'the eyes of them both were open- 
 ed, 'and they knew that they were naked : 
 and they sewed fig-leaves together, and 
 made themselves Haprons. 
 
 8 And they heard 'the voice of Jehovah 
 God walking in the garden in the tcool of 
 the day : and Adam and his wife 'hid them- 
 selves from the presence of Jehovah God 
 amongst the trees of the garden. 
 
 9 And Jehovah God called to Adam, 
 and said to him, Where art thou ? 
 
 10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the 
 garden : m and I was afraid, because I was 
 naked ; and I hid myself. 
 
 II And he said, Who told thee that thou 
 wast naked ? Hast thou eaten of the tree 
 whereof I commanded thee, that thou 
 shouldest not eat? 
 
 12 And the man said, "The woman whom 
 thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of 
 the tree, and I did eat. 
 
 13 And Jehovah God said to the woman, 
 What is this that thou hast done ? And 
 the woman said, "The serpent Meceived 
 me, and I did eat. 
 
 14 And Jehovah God said p to the ser- 
 pent, Because thou hast done this, thou 
 art cursed above all cattle, and above 
 every beast of the field : upon thy belly 
 shalt thou go, and «dust shalt thou eat all 
 the days of thy life : 
 
 15 And I will put enmity between thee 
 and the woman, and between r thy seed and 
 her seed : 4 'he shall bruise thy head, and 
 thou shalt bruise his heel. 
 
 16 To the woman he said, I will greatly 
 multiply the sorrows of thy conception ; 
 "in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children : 
 "and thy desire shall be !|to thy husband, 
 and he shall 'rule over thee. 
 
 ±7 And to Adam he said, "Because thou 
 
Ihrth of Cain and Abel. 
 
 hast hearkened to the voice of thy wife, 
 *and hast eaten of the tree °of which I 
 commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not 
 eat of it: *cursed is the ground for thy 
 sake ; "in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the 
 days of thy life ; 
 
 18 d Thorns also and thistles shall it 
 tbring forth to thee; and 'thou shalt eat 
 the herb of the field : 
 
 19 'In the sweat of thy face shalt thou 
 eat bread, till thou return to the ground ; 
 for out of it wast thou taken : sfor dust 
 thou art, and A to dust, shalt thou return. 
 
 20 And Adam called his wife's name 
 tjlEve, because she was the mother of all 
 living. 
 
 21 For Adam also and for his wife did 
 Jehovah God make coats of skins, and 
 clothed them. 
 
 22 f _ And Jehovah God said, 'Behold, the 
 man is become as one of us, to know good 
 and evil. And now, lest he put forth his 
 hand, *and take also of the tree of life, and 
 eat, and live for ever : 
 
 23 Therefore Jehovah God sent him forth 
 from the garden of Eden, 'to till the ground 
 from which he was taken. 
 
 24 So he drove out the man: and he 
 placed m at the east of the garden of Eden 
 " 8 Cherubim, and a flaming sword which 
 turned every way, to keep the way of the 
 tree of life. 
 
 CHAPTER IV. 
 
 1 The birth, trade, and religion of Cain and Abel. 
 8 The murder of Abel. 11 The curse of Cain. 
 17 Enoch the first city. 19 Lamech and his two 
 wives. 25 The birth of Seth, 26 and JEnos. 
 
 ND Adam knew Eve his wife; and 
 she conceived and bore ||Cain, and 
 said, I have gotten a man from Jehovah. 
 
 2 And she again bore his brother tAbel. 
 And Abel was ta keeper of sheep, but Cain 
 was "a tiller of the ground. 
 
 3 And tin process of time it came to pass, 
 that Cain brought 'of the fruit of the ground 
 an offering to Jehovah. 
 
 4 And Abel, he also brought of the first- 
 lings of his tflock, and of the fat' thereof. 
 And Jehovah had d respect to Abel, and to 
 his offering : 
 
 5 But to Cain, and to his offering, he had 
 not respect. And Cain was very 'angry, 
 "and his countenance fell. 
 
 6 And Jehovah said to Cain, Why art 
 thou 2 angry ? and why is thy countenance 
 fallen ? 
 
 7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not ||be 
 accepted ? and if thou doest not well, sin 
 lieth at the door. And ||to thee shall be 
 his desire, and thou shalt rule over him. 
 
 8 And Cain talked with Abel his brother : 
 and it came to pass when they were in the 
 field, that Cain rose up against Abel his 
 brother, and 'slew him. 
 
 9 If And Jehovah said to Cain, 'Where 
 is Abel thy brother ? And he said, *I know 
 not : Am I my brother's keeper? 
 
 '10 And he said, What hast thou done ? 
 the voice of thy brother's tblood 'crieth to 
 me from the ground. 
 
 11 And now art thou cursed from the 
 'ground, which hath opened its mouth 
 to receive thy brother's blood from thy 
 hand. 
 
 12 When thou tillest the ground, it shall 
 not henceforth yield to thee its strength :

 13 And Cain said to Jehovah, ||My pu- 
 nishment is greater than I can bear. 
 
 14 *Behold, thou hast driven me out this 
 day from the face of the eartli ; and 'from 
 thy face shall I be hidden ; and I shall be 
 a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; 
 and it Svill come to pass, m that every one 
 that findeth me 5 will slay ine. 
 
 15 And Jehovah said to him, Therefore 
 whoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall 
 be taken on him "seven-fold. And Jeho- 
 vah, "appointed a sign for Cain, that no 
 one, on finding him, should kill him. 
 
 16 If And Cain 'went out from the pre- 
 sence of Jehovah, and dwelt in the land 
 of Nod, on the east of Eden. 
 
 17 And Cain knew his wife, and she con- 
 ceived, and bore tEnoch: and he builded 
 a city, 'and called the name of the city 
 after the name of his son Enoch. 
 
 18 And to Enoch was born Irad : and 
 Irad begot Mehujael : and Mehujael begot 
 Methusael : and Methusael begot tLa- 
 mech. 
 
 19 If And Lamech took to him two wives : 
 the name of the one was Adah, and the 
 name of the other Zillah. 
 
 20 And Adah bore Jabal : he was the 
 father of such as dwell in tents, and of 
 such as have cattle. 
 
 21 And his brother's name was Jubal : 
 he was the 'father of all such as handle the 
 harp and 'organ. 
 
 22 And Zillah, she also bore Tubal-cain, 
 an ^instructor of every artificer in brass 
 and iron: and the sister of Tubal-cain ivas 
 Naamah. 
 
 23 And Lamech said to his wives, Adah 
 and Zillah, Hear my voice, ye wives of 
 Lamech, hearken to my speech: for ||I 
 have slain a man to my wounding, and a 
 young man ||to my hurt. 
 
 24 'If Cain shall be avenged seven -fold, 
 truly Lamech seventy and seven-fold. 
 
 25 If And Adam knew his wife again, 
 and she bore a son, and 'called his name 
 t USetli : For God, said she, hath appointed 
 me another seed instead of Abel, whom 
 Cain slew. 
 
 26 And to Seth, "to him also there was 
 born a son ; and he called his name tEnos : 
 then began men !| ""to call upon the name 
 of Jehovah.

 The cause of the flood. 
 
 2 That the sons of God saw the daugh- 
 ters of men that they were fair ; and they 
 Hook them wives of all whom they chose. 
 
 3 And Jehovah said, c My Spirit shall 
 not always strive with man, d for that he 
 also is flesh : yet his days shall be a hun- 
 dred and twenty years. 
 
 4 There were giants in the earth in those 
 days ; and also after that, when the sons 
 of God came in to the daughters of men, 
 and they bore children to them : the same 
 became mighty men, who were of old, men 
 of renown. 
 
 5 ^f And God saw that the wickedness 
 of man was great in the earth, and that 
 
 every 'imagination of the thoughts of his 
 heart was only evil tcontinually. 
 
 6 And f Jehovah repented that he had 
 made man on the earth, and 
 him at Ms heart. 
 
 7 And Jehovah said, I will destroy man 
 whom I have created from the face of the 
 earth; tboth man and beast, and the creep- 
 ing thing, and the fowls of the air ; for it 
 repenteth me that I have made them. 
 
 8 But Noah "found 'favour in the 2 sight 
 of Jehovah. 
 
 9 ff 3 This is the history of Noah : 'Noah 
 was a just man, and 4 upright in his 6 time, 
 and Noah 'walked with God. 
 
 10 And Noah begot three sons, 'Shem, 
 Ham, and Japheth. 
 
 11 The earth also was corrupt "before 
 God ; and the earth was "filled with vio- 
 lence. 
 
 12 And God "looked upon the earth, and 
 behold, it was corrupt : for all flesh had 
 corrupted his way upon the earth. 
 
 13 And God said to Noah, *The end of 
 all flesh is come before me ; for the earth 
 is filled with violence through them : 'and 
 behold, I will destroy them ||with the 
 earth. 
 
 14 If Make thee an ark of 6 gopher-wood : 
 trooms shalt thou make in the ark, and 
 shalt pitch it within and without with 
 pitch. 
 
 15 And this is the fashion which thou 
 shalt make it of: The length of the ark 
 shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth 
 of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty 
 cubits. 
 
 16 A window shalt thou make to the ark, 
 and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above ; 
 and the door of the ark shalt thou set in 
 the side thereof: with lower, second, and 
 third stories shalt thou make it. 
 
 \7 'And behold, I, even I, do bring a 
 flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy 
 all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, 
 from under heaven : and every tiling that 
 is 'on the earth shall die. 
 
 18 But with thee will I establish my 
 "covenant : and s thou shalt come into the 
 ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and 
 thy sons' wives with thee. 
 
 19 And of every living thing of all flesh, 
 'two of every sort shalt thou bring into the 
 ark, to keep them alive with thee: they 
 shall be male and female. 
 
 20 Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle 
 after their kind, of every creeping thing 
 of the earth after its kind ; two of every 
 sort "shall come to thee, to keep them 
 alive.

 22 "Thus did Noah ; According to all 
 that God commanded him, so did he. 
 
 . CHAPTER VII. 
 
 1 Noah, with his family, and the living creatures, 
 enter into the ark. 17 The beginning, increase, 
 and continuance of the flood. 
 
 AND Jehovah said to Noah, "Come 
 thou and all thy house into the ark : 
 for thee have I seen righteous before me 
 in this generation. 
 
 2 Of every 'clean beast thou shalt take to 
 thee by tsevens, the male and his female ; 
 d and of beasts that are not clean by two, 
 the male and his female. 
 
 3 Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the 
 male and the female ; to keep seed alive 
 upon the face of all the earth. 
 
 4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it 
 to rain upon the earth 'forty days and forty 
 nights : and every living 'thing that I have 
 made will I tdestroy from oft .the face of 
 the earth. 
 
 5 •''And Noah did according to all that 
 Jehovah commanded him. 
 
 6 And Noah was six hundred years old 
 when the flood of waters was upon the 
 earth. 
 
 7 f *And Noah went in, and his sons, 
 and his wife, and his sons' wives with 
 him, into the ark, z from the waters of the 
 flood. 
 
 8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are 
 not clean, and of fowls, and of every 
 thing that creepeth upon the earth, 
 
 _ 9 There went in two and two to Noah 
 into the ark, the male and the female, as 
 God had commanded Noah. 
 
 10 And it came to pass, ||after seven days, 
 that the waters of me flood were upon the 
 earth. 
 
 11 If In the six hundredth year of Noah's 
 life, in the second month, the seventeenth 
 day of the month, the same day were all 
 *the fountains of the great deep broken 
 up, and the || 'windows of heaven were 
 opened. 
 
 12 'And the rain was upon the earth forty 
 days and forty nights. 
 
 13 In the self-same day 'entered Noah, 
 and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the 
 sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the 
 three wives of his sons with them, into 
 the ark : 
 
 14 "They, and every beast after its kind, 
 and all the cattle after their kind, and 
 every creeping thing that creepeth upon 
 the earth after its kind, and every fowl 
 after its kind, every bird of every fsort. 
 
 15 And they "went in to Noah into the 
 ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is 
 the breath of life. 
 
 16 And they that entered, went in male 
 and female of all flesh, "as God had com- 
 manded him : and Jehovah shut him in. 
 
 17 p And the flood was forty days upon 
 the earth : and the waters increased, and 
 bore up the ark, and it was lifted up above 
 the earth. 
 
 18 And the waters prevailed, and were 
 increased greatly upon the earth : 'and the 
 ark went upon the face of the waters.

 1 The waters subside. 4 The ark resteth on Ararat. 
 7 The raven and the dove. 15 Noah, being com- 
 manded, 18 goelh forth from the ark. 20 He 
 buildeth an altar, and offereth sacrifice, 21 which 
 God accepteth, and promiseth to curse the earth 
 no more. 
 
 AND God "remembered Noah, and 
 every living thing, and all the cattle 
 that were with him in the ark : 'and God 
 made a wind to pass over the earth, and 
 the waters 'subsided ; 
 
 2 'The fountains also of the deep, and 
 the windows of heaven were stopped, and 
 "the rain from heaven was restrained ; 
 
 3 And the waters returned from oft* the 
 earth tcontinually : and after the end 'of 
 the hundred and fifty days the waters 
 were abated. 
 
 4 And the ark rested in the seventh 
 month, on the seventeenth day of the 
 month, upon the mountains of Ararat. 
 
 5 And the waters tdecreased continually, 
 until the tenth month : in the tenth month, 
 on the first day of the month, were the 
 tops of the mountains seen. 
 
 6 If And it came to pass at the end of 
 forty days, that Noah opened the window 
 of the ark which he had made : 
 
 7 And he sent forth a raven, which went 
 forth tto and fro, until the waters were 
 dried up from off" the earth. 
 
 8 Also he sent forth a dove from him, to 
 see if the waters were abated from off the 
 face of the ground ; 
 
 9 But the dove found no rest for the sole 
 of her foot, and she returned to him 2 to 
 the ark ; for the waters were on the face 
 of the whole earth. Then he put forth 
 his hand, and took her, and tpulled her in 
 to him into the ark. 
 
 10 And he stayed yet other seven days, 
 and again he sent forth the dove out of the 
 ark. 
 
 11 And the dove came in to him in the 
 evening, and lo, in her mouth was an 
 olive-leaf pluckt off. So Noah knew that 
 the waters were abated from off the earth. 
 
 12 And he stayed yet other seven days, 
 and sent forth the dove ; which returned 
 not again to him any more. 
 
 13 If And it came to pass in the six hun- 
 dredth and first year, in the first month, 
 the first day of the month, the waters 
 were dried up from off the earth: and 
 Noah removed the covering of the ark, 
 
 5 
 
 

 God blesseth Noah. 
 
 and looked, and behold, the face of the 
 ground was dry. 
 
 14 And in tne second month, on the 
 seven and twentieth day of the month, 
 was the earth dried. 
 
 15 If And God spoke to Noah, saying, 
 
 16 Go forth from the ark, «thou, and thy 
 wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives 
 with thee. 
 
 17 Bring forth with thee *every living 
 thing that is with thee, of all flesh, both 
 of fowls, and of cattle, and of every 
 creeping thing that creepeth upon the 
 earth ; that they may breed abundantly in 
 the earth, and "be fruitful, and multiply 
 upon the earth. 
 
 18 And Noah went forth, and his sons, 
 and his wife, and his sons' wives with 
 him : 
 
 19 Every beast, every creeping thing, 
 and every fowl, and whatever creepeth 
 upon the earth, after their tkinds, went 
 forth out of the ark. 
 
 20 H And Noah builded an altar to Je- 
 hovah, and took of 'every clean beast, 
 and of every clean fowl, and offered 
 burnt-offerings on the altar. 
 
 21 And Jehovah smelled ! a t sweet 
 3 odour ; and Jehovah said in his heart, I 
 will not again m curse the ground any more 
 for man's sake ; Hhough the "imagination 
 of man's heart is evil from his youth : 
 "neither will I again smite any more every 
 living thing, as I have done. 
 
 22 ''tWhue the earth remaineth, Seed- 
 time and 6 harvest, and 7 cold and 8 heat, 
 and 'summer and 10 winter, and '"day and

 bidden. 8 God's covenant, 13 signified by the

 AND God blessed Noah and his sons, 
 and said to them, °Be fruitful, and 
 multiply, and replenish the earth. 
 
 2 "And the fear of you, and the dread of 
 you, shall be upon every beast of the 
 earth, and upon every fowl of the air, 
 upon all that moveth upon the earth, and 
 upon all the fishes of the sea ; into your 
 hand are they delivered. 
 
 3 c Every moving thing that liveth shall 
 be 'food for you; even as the ''green herb 
 have I given you 'all things. 
 
 4 'But flesh with the life of it, which is 
 its blood, shall ye not eat. 
 
 5 And surely your blood of your lives 
 will I require : s at the hand of every beast 
 will* I require it, and ''at the hand of man; 
 at the hand of every 'man's brother will I 
 require the life of man.

 image of God made he man. 
 
 7 And you, m be ye fruitful, and multiply;

 multiply therein.

 The covenant of the rainbow 
 
 lis with you, of the fowls, of the cattle, and 
 of every beast of the earth with you, from 
 all that go out of the ark, to every beast 
 of the earth. 
 
 11 And «I will establish my covenant 
 with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off 
 any more by the waters of a flood; neither 
 shall there any more be a flood to destroy 
 the earth. 
 
 12 And God said, 'This is the token of 
 the covenant which I make between me 
 and you, and every living creature that is 
 with you, for perpetual generations. 
 
 13 2 1 do set s my bow in the cloud, and it 
 shall be for a token of a covenant between 
 me and the earth. 
 
 14 And it shall come to pass, when I 
 bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow 
 shall be seen in the cloud : 
 
 15 And "I will remember my covenant, 
 which is between me and you, and every 
 living creature of all flesh ; and the waters 
 shall no more become a flood to destroy 
 all flesh. 
 
 16 And the bow shall be in the cloud ; 
 and I will look upon it, that I may re- 
 member *"the everlasting covenant between 
 God and every living creature of all flesh 
 that is upon the earth. 
 
 17 And God said to Noah, This is the 
 token of the covenant which I have estab- 
 lished between me and all flesh that is 
 upon the earth. 
 
 18 If And the sons of Noah that went 
 forth from the ark, were Shem, and Ham, 
 and Japheth : *and Ham is the father of 
 tCanaan. 
 
 19 "These are the three sons of Noah: 
 2 and by them was the whole earth over- 
 spread. 
 
 20 And Noah began to be "a husbandman, 
 and he planted a vineyard : 
 
 21 And he drank of the wine, *and was 
 drunken; and he was uncovered within 
 his tent. 
 
 22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw 
 the nakedness of his father, and told his 
 two brethren without. 
 
 23 "And Shem and Japheth took a gar- 
 ment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, 
 and went backwards, and covered the na- 
 kedness of their father: and their faces 
 were backwards, and they saw not their 
 father's nakedness. 
 
 24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and 
 knew what his younger son had done to 
 him. 
 
 25 And he said, d Cursed be Canaan ; 'a 
 servant of servants shall he be to his bre- 
 thren. 
 
 26 And he said, 'Blessed be Jehovah 
 God of Shem; and Canaan shall be || his 
 servant. 
 
 27 God shall ||enlarge Japheth, * and he 
 shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Ca- 
 naan shall be his servant. 
 
 28 ^ And Noah lived after the flood three 
 hundred and fifty years. 
 
 29 And all the days of Noah were nine 
 hundred and fifty years : and he died.

 the Hood. 
 
 2 'The sons of Japheth ; Gomer, and Ma- 
 gog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, 
 and Meshech, and Tiras. 
 
 3 And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, 
 and Riphath, and Togarmah. 
 
 4 And the sons of Javan ; Elishah, and 
 Tarshish, Kittim, and ||Dodanim. 
 
 5 By these were c the isles of the Gentiles 
 divided in their lands ; every one after his 
 tongue, after their families, in their na- 
 tions. 
 
 6 1f d And the sons of Ham; Cush, and 
 Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan. 
 
 7 And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Ha- 
 vilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sab- 
 techa; and the sons of Raamah; Slieba, 
 and Dedan. 
 
 8 And Cush begot Nimrod : he began to 
 be a mighty one in the earth. 
 
 9 He was a mighty e hunter s before Jeho- 
 vah : wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod 
 the mighty hunter before Jehovah. 
 
 10 ff And the beginning of his kingdom 
 was t 'Babylon, and Erech, and Accad, 
 and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. 
 
 11 Out of that land ||went forth Asshur, 
 and builded Nineveh, and ||the city Reho- 
 both, and Calah, 
 
 12 And Resen between Nineveh and 
 Calah: the same is a great city. 
 
 13 And Mizraim begot Ludim, and Ana- 
 mim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, 
 
 14 And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, ('; 2 from 
 whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim. 
 
 15 ^ And Canaan begot tZidon his first- 
 born, and Heth, 
 
 16 And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, 
 and the Girgasite, 
 
 17 And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and 
 the Sinite, 
 
 18 And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, 
 and the Hamathite: and afterward were 
 the families of the Canaanites spread 
 abroad. 
 
 19 'And the border of the Canaanites 
 was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, 
 to tGaza; as thou goest to Sodom and Go- 
 morrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even to 
 Lasha. 
 
 20 These are the sons of Ham, after their 
 families, after their tongues, in their coun- 
 tries, and in their nations. 
 
 21 if To Shem also, the father of all the 
 children of Eber, the brother of Japheth 
 the elder, even to him were children born. 
 
 22 The 'children of Shem; Elam, and 
 Asshur, and tArphaxad, and Lud, and 
 Aram. 
 
 23 And the children of Aram ; Uz, and 
 Hul, and Gether, and Mash. 
 
 24 And Arphaxad begot t ! Salah; and 
 Salah begot Eber. 
 
 25 ""And to Eber were born two sons: 
 the name of one was JPeleg, for in his 
 days was the earth divided ; and his bro- 
 ther's name was Joktan. 
 
 26 And Joktan begot Almodad, and She- 
 leph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah, 
 
 27 And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah, 
 
 28 And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba, 
 
 29 And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: 
 all these were the sons of Joktan. 
 
 30 And their dwelling was from Mesha, 
 as thou goest to Sephar, a mount of the east.

 CHAPTER XI. 
 
 1 One language in the world. 3 The building of 
 Babel. 5 The confusion of tongues. 10 The ge- 
 nerations of Shem. 27 The generations of Terah 
 the father of Abram. 31 Terah goeth from Ur to 
 Haran. 
 
 ND the whole earth was of one tlan- 
 guage, and of one tspeech. 
 
 2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed 
 ||from the east, that they found a plain in 
 the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there. 
 
 3 And tthey said one to another, 'Come, 
 let us make brick, and tburn them thorough- 
 ly. And they had brick for stone, and 
 2 bitumen had they for mortar. 
 
 4 And they said, 3 Come, let us build us 
 a city, and a tower, "whose top may reach 
 to heaven ; and let us make us a name, 
 lest we be scattered abroad upon the face 
 of the whole earth. 
 
 5 'And Jehovah came down to see the 
 city and the tower, which the children of 
 men were building. 
 
 6 And Jehovah said, Behold, c the people 
 is one, and they have all ''one language ; 
 and this they begin to do: and now nothing 
 will be restrained from them, which they 
 have 'imagined to do. 
 
 7 "Come, ^let us go down, and there con- 
 found their language, that they may «not 
 understand one another's speech. 
 
 8 So "Jehovah scattered them abroad 
 from thence "upon the face of all the earth : 
 and they left off to build the city. 
 
 9 Therefore is the name of it called ||Ba- 
 bel, "because Jehovah did there confound 
 the language of all the earth : and from 
 thence did Jehovah scatter them abroad 
 upon the face of all the earth. 
 
 10 If 'These are the generati ons of Shem : 
 Shem was a hundred years old, and begot 
 Arphaxad two years after the flood : 
 
 11 And Shem lived after he begot Ar- 
 phaxad five hundred years, and begot sons 
 and daughters. 
 
 12 And Arphaxad lived five and thirty 
 years, m and begot Salah. 
 
 13 And Arphaxad lived after he begot 
 Salah four hundred and three years, and 
 begot sons and daughters. 
 
 14 And Salah lived thirty years, and 
 begot Eber : 
 
 15 And Salah lived after he begot Ebei 
 four hundred and three years, and begot 
 sons and daughters. 
 
 16 "And Eber lived four and thirty years, 
 and begot Peleg : 
 
 17 And Eber lived after he begot Peleg 
 four hundred and thirty years, and begot 
 sons and daughters. 
 
 18 And Peleg lived thirty years, and be- 
 got Reu : 
 
 19 And Peleg lived after he begot Reu 
 two hundred and nine years, and begot 
 sons and daughters. 
 
 20 And Reu lived two and thirty years, 
 and begot 'Serug : 
 
 21 And Reu lived after he begot Serug 
 
 7 
 
(Sod calleth Abram. 
 
 two hundred and seven years, and begot 
 sons and daughters. 
 
 22 And Serug lived thirty years, and be 
 got Nahor : 
 
 23 And Serug lived after he begot Nahor 
 two hundred years, and begot sons and 
 daughters. 
 
 24 And Nahor lived nine and twenty 
 years, and begot 'Terah. 
 
 25 And Nahor lived after he begot Terah 
 a hundred and nineteen years, and begot 
 sons and daughters. 
 
 26 And Terah lived seventy years, and 
 "begot Abram, Nahor, and Haran. 
 
 27 If Now these are the generations of 
 Terah : Terah begot Abram, Nahor, and 
 Haran : and Haran begot Lot. 
 
 28 And Haran died before his father Te- 
 rah in the land of his birth, in Ur of the 
 Chaldees. 
 
 29 And Abram and Nahor took '•them- 
 selves wives : the name of Abram's wife 
 ivas 'Sarai ; and the name of Nahor's wife, 
 'Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father 
 of Milcah, and the father of Iscah. 
 
 SO But "Sarai was barren ; she had no 
 child. 
 
 31 And Terah "took Abram his son, and 
 Lot the son of Haran his son's son, and 
 Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram's 
 wife; and they went forth with them from 
 *Ur of the Chaldees, to go into "the land 
 of Canaan ; and they came to Haran, and 
 dwelt there. 
 
 32 And the days of Terah were two hun- 
 dred and five years: and Terah died in 
 Haran. 
 
 CHAPTER XII. 
 
 1 God calleth Abram, and blesseth him with a pro- 
 mise of Christ. 4 He departeth with Lot from 
 Haran. 6 He journeyeth through Canaan, 7 which 
 is promised him in a vision. 10 He is driven by 
 a famine into Egypt. 11 Fear maketh him feign 
 his wife to be his sister. 14 Pharaoh, having 
 taken her from him, by plagties is compelled to 
 restore her. 
 
 NOW "Jehovah had said to Abram, De- 
 part from thy country, and from thy 
 kindred, and from thy father's house, to a 
 land that I will shew thee : 
 
 2 *And I will make of thee a great nation, 
 c and I will bless thee, and make thy name 
 great ; d and thou shalt be a blessing : 
 
 3 'And I will bless them that bless thee, 
 and curse him that curseth thee : 'and in 
 thee shall all families of the earth be 
 blessed. 
 
 4 So Abram departed, as Jehovah had 
 spoken to him, and Lot went with him : 
 and Abram was seventy and five years 
 old when he departed out of Haran. 
 
 5 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and 
 Lot his brother's son, and all their sub- 
 stance that they had gathered, and f the 
 'persons that they had gotten A in Haran ; 
 and they went forth to go into the land of 
 Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they 
 came. 
 
 6 If And Abram 'passed through the land 
 to the place of 2 Shechem, Ho the 3 oaks of 
 Moreh. 'And the Canaanite was then in 
 the land. 
 
 7 m And Jehovah appeared to Abram, and 
 said, "To thy seed will I give this land : 
 and there he erected an "altar to Jehovah, 
 who ' had' appeared to him. 
 
 8 And he removed from thence to a

 mountain on the east of Beth-el, and 
 pitched his tent, having Beth-el on the 
 west, and 4 Ai on the east : and there he 
 erected an altar to Jehovah, and p called 
 upon the name of Jehovah. 
 
 9 And Abram journeyed, t 'going on still 
 towards the south. 
 
 10 If And there was r a famine in the land : 
 and Abram 'went down into Egypt to so- 
 journ there ; for the famine was 'grievous 
 in the land. 
 
 11 And it came to pass, when he was 
 come near to enter into Egypt, that he 
 said to Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know 
 that thou art "a fair woman to look upon : 
 
 12 Therefore it 6 will come to pass, when 
 the Egyptians shall see thee, that they 
 6 will say, This is his wife : and they ""will 
 kill me, but they will save thee alive. 
 
 13 *Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister : 
 that it may be well with me for thy sake ; 
 and 7 that I may live because of thee. 
 
 14 If And it came to pass, that when 
 Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyp- 
 tians "beheld the woman that she was 
 very fair. 
 
 15 The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, 
 and commended her before Pharaoh : and 
 the woman was 'taken into Pharaoh's 
 house. 
 
 16 And he "treated Abram well for her 
 sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and 
 he-asses, and men-servants, and maid- 
 servants, and she-asses, and camels. 
 
 17 And Jehovah afflicted Pharaoh and 
 his house with great plagues because of 
 Sarai, Abram's wife. 
 
 18 And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, 
 "What is this that thou hast done to me ? 
 why didst thou not tell me that she was 
 thy wife ? 
 
 19 Why saidst thou, She is my sister? 
 so I might have taken her to ^myself for a 
 wife : now therefore behold thy wife, take 
 her, and go thy way. 
 
 20 d And Pharaoh commanded his men 
 concerning him : and they sent him away, 
 and his wife, and all that he had. 
 
 CHAPTER XIII. 
 
 1 Abram and Lot return out of Egypt. 7 By dis- 
 agreement they part asunder. 10 Lot goeth to 
 wicked Sodom. 14 God reneweth the promise to 
 Abram. 18 He removeth to Hebron, and there 
 buildeth an altar. 
 
 AND Abram went up out of Egypt, he, 
 and his wife, and all that he had, and 
 Lot with him, "into the south. 
 
 2 'And Abram was very rich in cattle, 
 in silver, and in gold. 
 
 3 And he went on his journeys 'from the 
 south even to Beth-el, to the place where 
 his tent had been at the beginning, between 
 Beth-el and 'Ai; 
 
 4 To the d place of the altar, which he had 
 made there at * first: and there Abram 
 'called on the name of Jehovah. 
 
 5 If And Lot also, who went with Abram, 
 had flocks, and herds, and tents. 
 
 6 And 'the land was not able to bear 
 them, that they might dwell together: for 
 their substance was great, so that they 
 could not dwell together. 
 
 7 And there was «a strife between the 
 herdmen of Abram's cattle and the herd- 
 men of Lot's cattle: "and the Canaanite 
 

 Lot goelh to Sodom. 
 
 and the Perizzite dwelt then in 
 land. 
 
 8 And Abram said to Lot, *Let there be 
 no strife, I pray thee, between me and 
 thee, and between my herdmen and thy 
 herdmen ; for we are {brethren. 
 
 9 k Is not the whole land before thee? 
 Separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: 
 'if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will 
 go to the right ; or if thou depart to the 
 right hand, then I will go to the left. 
 
 10 And Lot lifted up Ms eyes, and be- 
 held all the plain of Jordan, that it was 
 well watered every where, before Jehovah 
 "destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, oS like 
 the garden of Jehovah, like the land of 
 Egypt, as thou comest to p Zoar. 
 
 11 Then Lot chose himself all the plain 
 of Jordan ; and Lot journeyed east : and 
 they separated themselves the one from 
 the other. 
 
 12 Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan, 
 and Lot "dwelt in the cities of the plain, 
 and "pitched his tent 4 at Sodom. 
 
 13 But the men of Sodom 'were wicked 
 and 'sinners before Jehovah, exceedingly. 
 
 14 If And Jehovah said to Abram, after 
 that Lot "was separated from him, Lift up 
 now thine eyes, and look from the place 
 where thou art, "northward, and south- 
 ward, and eastward, and westward : 
 
 15 For all the land which thou seest, r to 
 thee Avill I give it, and to thy seed for ever. 
 
 16 And Z I will make thy seed as the dust 
 of the earth : so that if a man can number 
 the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed 
 also be numbered. 
 
 17 Arise, walk through the land in the 
 length of it and in the breadth of it; for I 
 will give it to thee. 
 
 18 Then Abram removed his tent, and 
 came and "dwelt 5 among the oaks of Mam- 
 re, *which is in Hebron, and built there an 
 altar to Jehovah. 
 
 CHAPTER XIV. 
 
 1 The battle of four kings against five. 11 Lot is 
 taken prisoner. 14 Abram rescueth him. 18 Mel- 
 chizedek blesseth Abram. 20 Abram giveth him 
 tithes. 22 The rest of the spoil, his partners hav- 
 ing had their portions, he restoreth to the king 
 of Sodom. 
 
 AND it came to pass, in the days of Am- 
 raphel king "of Shinar, Arioch king 
 of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of 6 Elam, 
 and Tidal king of 'nations ; 
 
 2 That these made war with Bera king of 
 Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomor- 
 rah, Shinab king of 'Adman, and Sheme- 
 ber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela, 
 which *£s ''Zoar. 
 
 3 All these were joined together in the 
 vale of Siddim, 'which is the salt sea. 
 
 4 Twelve years 'they served Chedorlao- 
 mer, and in the thirteenth year they re- 
 belled. 
 
 5 And in the fourteenth year came Che- 
 dorlaomer, and the kings that were with 
 him, and smote the Rephaims *in Ashte- 
 roth Karnaim, and 'the Zuzims in Ham, 
 *and the Emims in ||Shaveh Kiriathaim, 
 
 6 'And the Horites in their mount Seir, 
 to ]|El-paran, which is by the Mesert. 
 
 7 And they returned, and came to En- 
 mishpat, which is Kadesh, and smote all the 
 country of the Amalekites, and also the 
 Amorites, that dwelt "in Hazezon-tamar.

 8 And there went out the king of Sodom, 
 and the king of Gomorrah, and the king 
 of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and 
 the king of Bela ( 4 which is Zoar;) and 
 they joined battle with them in the vale 
 of Siddim; 
 
 9 "With Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, 
 and with Tidal king of nations, and Am- 
 raphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of 
 Ellasar ; four kings with five. 
 
 10 And the vale of Siddim was full of 
 "bitumen-pits; and the kings of Sodom 
 and Gomorrah fled, and fell there : and 
 they that remained fled to the mountain. 
 
 11 And they took p all the goods of Sodom 
 and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and 
 went their way. 
 
 12 And they took Lot, Abram's 'bro- 
 ther's son, r wno dwelt in Sodom, and his 
 goods, and departed. 
 
 13 ^f And there came one that had escaped, 
 and told Abram the Hebrew ; for 5 he dwelt 
 6 among the oaks of Mamre the Amoritei 
 brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner : 
 'and these were confederate with Abram. 
 
 14 And when Abram heard that "his bro- 
 ther was taken captive, he Harmed his 
 Htrained servants, "born in his own house, 
 three hundred and eighteen, and pursued 
 them x to Dan. 
 
 15 And he divided himself against them, 
 he and his servants by night, and y smote 
 them, and pursued them to Hobah, which 
 is on the left hand of Damascus. 
 
 16 And he brought back z all the good9, 
 and also brought again his brother Lot, 
 and his goods, and the women also, and 
 the people. 
 
 17 If And the king of Sodom "went out to 
 meet him ('after his return from the slaugh- 
 ter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that 
 were with him,) at the valley of Shaveh, 
 which is the 'king's 'valley. 
 
 18 And "Melchizedek king of Salem 
 brought forth bread and wine : and he was 
 the priest of the most high God. 
 
 19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed 
 be Abram 8 by the most high God, 'pos- 
 sessor of heaven and earth : 
 
 20 And "blessed be the most high God, 
 who hath delivered thine enemies into thy 
 hand. And he gave him tithes 'of all. 
 
 21 And the king of Sodom said to Abram, 
 Give me the tpersons, and take the goods 
 to thyself. 
 
 22 And Abram said to the king of Sodom, 
 I *have lifted up my hand to Jehovah, the 
 most high God, 'the possessor of heaven 
 and earth, 
 
 23 That m I will not take from a thread 
 even to a shoe- 9 string, and that I will not 
 take any thing that is thine, lest thou 
 shouldest say, I have made Abram rich : 
 
 24 "Except that only which the young 
 men have eaten, and the portion of the 
 men "who went with me, Aner, Eshcol, 
 and Mamre ; let them take their portion. 
 
 CHAPTER XV. 
 
 1 God encourageth Abram. 2 Abram complatneth 
 for want of an heir. 4 God promiseth him a son, 
 
 and a multiplying of his seed. 6 Ahram is justi- 
 fied by faith. 7 Canaan is promised again, and 
 
 confirmed by a sign, 12 and a vision. 
 
 AFTER these things the word of Jeho- 
 vah came to Abram "in a vision, say- 
 
 9 
 
 
Abram is justified by faith. 
 
 ing, 'Fear not, Abram: I am thy c 'buckler, 
 and 2 thine exceeding ''great reward. 
 
 2 And Abram said, Lord Jehovah, what 
 wilt thou give me, 'seeing I go childless, 
 and the possessor of my house hvill be 
 this Eliezer of Damascus ? 
 
 3 And Abram said, Behold, to me thou 
 hast given no seed : and lo, Ame born in 
 my house is mine heir. 
 
 4 And behold, the word of Jehovah came 
 to him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; 
 but he that *shall 6 descend from thee shall 
 be thine heir. 
 
 5 And he brought him forth abroad, and 
 said, Look now towards heaven, and '"'count 
 the 'stars, if thou be able to number them : 
 and he said to him, *So shall thy seed be. 
 
 6 And he 'believed in Jehovah ; and he 
 ""counted it to him for righteousness. 
 
 7 And he said to him, I am Jehovah that 
 "brought thee out of °Ur of the Chaldees, 
 p to give thee this land to inherit it. 
 
 8 And he said, Lord Jehovah, 'whereby 
 shall I know that I shall inherit it ? 
 
 9 And he said to him, Bring me a heifer 
 of three years old, and a she-goat of three 
 years old, and a ram of three years old, 
 and a turtle-dove, and a young pigeon. 
 
 10 And he brought him all these, and 
 'divided them in the midst, and laid each 
 piece one against another : but "the birds 
 lie divided not. 
 
 11 And when the fowls came down upon 
 the carcasses, Abram drove them away. 
 
 12 And when the sun was going down, 
 'a deep sleep fell upon Abram ; and lo, a 
 horror of great darkness fell upon him. 
 
 13 And he said to Abram, Know 8 surely 
 "that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land 
 that is not theirs, and shall serve them ; 
 and "they shall afflict them four hundred 
 years ; 
 
 14 And also that nation whom they shall 
 serve, x will I judge : and afterward "shall 
 they come out with great substance. 
 
 15 And *tho» shalt go °to thy fathers in 
 peace ; 'thou shalt be buried in a good old 
 age. 
 
 16 But 'in the fourth generation they shall 
 come hither again : for the iniquity *of the 
 Amorites 'is not yet full. 
 
 17 And it came to pass, that when the 
 sun went down, and it was dark, behold a 
 smoking furnace, and ta burning lamp 
 that ^passed between those pieces. 
 
 18 In that same day Jehovah *made a co- 
 venant with Abram, saying, *To thy seed 
 have I given this land, from the torrent of 
 Egypt to the great river, the river Euphra- 
 tes: 
 
 19 The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and 
 the Kadmonites, 
 
 20 And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, 
 and the Rephaims, 
 
 21 And the Amorites, and the Canaan- 
 ites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.

 Sarai giveth Hagar to Abram. 
 
 2 d And Sarai said to Abram, Behold now, 
 Jehovah 'hath restrained me from bearing: 
 I pray thee / go in to my maid ; it may be 
 that I may tobtain children by her. And 
 Abram ^hearkened to the voice of Sarai. 
 
 3 And Sarai, Abram's wife, took Hagar 
 her maid the Egyptian, after Abram *had 
 dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and 
 gave her to her husband Abram to be his 
 wife. 
 
 4 "U And he went in to Hagar, and she 
 conceived : and when she saw that she 
 had conceived, her mistress was 'despised 
 in her 'sight. 
 
 5 And Sarai said to Abram, My wrong 
 be upon thee : I have given my maid into 
 thy bosom ; and when she saw that she had 
 conceived, I was despised in her 3 sight: 
 *Jehovah judge between me and thee. 
 
 6 'But Abram said to Sarai, "Behold, thy 
 maid is in thy hand; do to her tas it pleas- 
 eth thee. And when Sarai tdealt hardly 
 with her, "she fled from her face. 
 
 7 *\ And the angel of Jehovah found her 
 by a fountain of water in the Mesert, °by 
 the fountain in the way to p Shur. 
 
 8 And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maid, 
 whence earnest thou ? and whither wilt 
 thou go? And she said, I flee from the 
 face of my mistress Sarai. 
 
 9 And the angel of Jehovah said to her, 
 Return to thy mistress, and 'submit thy- 
 self under her hands. 
 
 10 And the angel of Jehovah said to her, 
 r I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, ' so' 
 that it shall not be numbered for multitude. 
 
 11 And the angel of Jehovah said to her, 
 Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear 
 a son, 'and shalt call his name ||Ishmael ; 
 because Jehovah hath heard thy affliction. 
 
 12 'And he will be a wild man ; his hand 
 will be against every man, and every man's 
 hand against him ; "and he shall dwell in 
 the presence of all his brethren. 
 
 13 And she called the name of Jehovah 
 5 who spoke to her, Thou God seest me : 
 for she said, Have I also here looked after 
 him *fhat seeth me ? 
 
 14 Wherefore the well was called "||Beer- 
 lahai-roi; behold, it is ^between Kadesh 
 and Bered. 
 
 15 If And "Hagar bore Abram a son: and 
 Abram called his son's name, whom Hagar 
 bore, 'Ishmael. 
 
 16 And Abram was fourscore and six 
 years old, when Hagar bore Ishmael to 
 Abram. 
 
 CHAPTER XVII. 
 
 1 God reneweth the covenant. 5 Abram his name is 
 changed in token of a greater blessing. 10 Cir- 
 cumcision is instituted. 15 Sarai her name is 
 changed, and she blessed. 17 Isaac is promised. 
 23 Abraham and Ishmael are circumcised. 
 
 AND when Abram was ninety -nine years 
 old, Jehovah "appeared to Abram, and 
 said to him, l I am the Almighty God; 
 'walk before me, and be thou |] * 'upright. 
 
 2 And I will make my covenant between 
 me and thee, and 'will multiply thee ex- 
 ceedingly. 
 
 3 And Abram s fell on his face : and God 
 talked with him, saying, 
 
 4 As for me, behold, my covenant is with 
 thee, and thou shalt be e a father of tmany 
 nations. 
 
 5 Neither shall thy name any more be 
 
Abrani's name is changed. 
 
 called Abram; but ''thy name shall be 
 HAbraham ; "for a father of many nations 
 have I made thee. 
 
 6 And I will make thee ^exceedingly 
 fruitful, and I will make "nations of thee; 
 and 'kings shall descend from thee. 
 
 7 And I will ""establish my covenant be- 
 tween me and thee, and thy seed after 
 thee, in their generations, for an everlast- 
 ing covenant; "to be a God to thee, and to 
 "thy seed after thee. 
 
 8 And p I will give to thee, and to thy seed 
 after thee, the land f wherein thou art a 
 stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an 
 everlasting possession; and r I will be their 
 God. 
 
 9 If And God said to Abraham, Thou 
 shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, 
 and thy seed after thee, in their genera- 
 tions. 
 
 10 This is my covenant, which ye shall 
 keep, between me and you, and thy seed 
 after thee; 'Every man-child among you 
 shall be circumcised. 
 
 11 And ye shall circumcise the flesh of 
 your foreskin ; and it shall be 'a token of 
 the covenant between me and you. 
 
 12 And the that is eight days old "shall 
 be circumcised among you, every male- 
 child in your generations, he that is born 
 in the house, or bought with money of any 
 stranger, who is not of thy seed . 
 
 13 He that is born in thy house, and lie 
 that is bought with thy money, must 3 surely 
 be circumcised: and my.covenant shall be 
 in your flesh for an everlasting covenant. 
 
 14 And the uncircumcised male-child, 
 whose flesh of his foreskin is not circum- 
 cised, that 4 person ""shall be cut off" from 
 his people ; he hath broken my covenant. 
 
 15 If And God said to Abraham, As for 
 Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her 
 name Sarai, but || Sarah shall her name be. 
 
 16 And I will bless her, *and give thee a 
 son also by her : yea, I will bless her, and 
 tshe shall be a mother y of nations ; kings 
 of people shall be of her. 
 
 17 Then Abraham fell upon his face, r and 
 laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child 
 be born to him who is a hundred years old r 
 and shall Sarah, who is ninety years old , 
 bear ? 
 
 18 And Abraham said to God, O that 
 Ishmael might live before thee ! 
 
 19 And God said, "Sarah thy wife shall 
 bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call 
 his name Isaac : and I will establish my 
 covenant with him for an everlasting cove- 
 nant, and with his seed after him. 
 
 20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: 
 Behold, I have blessed him, and will make 
 him fruitful, and 'will multiplv him ex- 
 ceedingly : 'twelve princes shall he beget, 
 ■•and I will make him a great nation. 
 
 21 But my covenant will I establish with 
 Isaac, 'whom Sarah shall bear to thee at 
 this set time in the next year. 
 
 22 And he ceased talking with him, and 
 God went up from Abraham. 
 
 23 "fl And Abraham took Ishmael his son, 
 and all that were born in his house, and 
 all that were bought with his money, every 
 male among the men of Abraham's house ; 
 and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin, 
 in the self-same day, as God had said to 
 him.

 24 And Abraham was ninety years old 
 and nine, when he was circumcised in the 
 flesh of his foreskin. 
 
 25 And Ishmael his son was thirteen 
 years old, when he was circumcised in 
 the flesh of his foreskin. 
 
 26 On that same day was Abraham 
 circumcised, and Ishmael his son ; 
 
 27 And ^all the men of his house, born in 
 the house, and bought with money of the 
 stranger, were circumcised with him. 
 
 CHAPTER XVIII. 
 
 1 Abraham entertaineth three angels. 9 Sarah is 
 reproved for laughing at the strange promise. 
 Yl-The destruction of Sodom is revealed to Abra- 
 ham. 23 Abraham maketh intercession for the 
 men thereof. 
 
 AND Jehovah appeared to him 'among 
 the "oaks of Manure: and he sat in 
 the tent-door in the heat of the day; 
 
 2 4 And he lifted up his eyes and looked, 
 and lo, three men stood by him : c and when 
 he saw them, he ran to meet them from the 
 tent-door, and bowed himself towards the 
 ground, 
 
 3 And said, My Lord, if now I have found 
 favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray 
 thee, from thy servant : 
 
 4 Let d a little water, I pray you, be 
 brought, and wash your feet, and rest 
 yourselves under the tree : 
 
 5 And 'I will bring a morsel of bread, 
 and ^comfort ye your hearts; after that 
 ye shall pass on : °for therefore tare ye 
 come to your servant. And they said, So 
 do, as thou hast said. 
 
 6 And Abraham hastened into the tent 
 to Sarah, and said, tMake ready quickly 
 three measures of fine meal, knead it, and 
 make cakes upon the hearth. 
 
 7 And Abraham ran to the herd, and 
 fetched a calf tender and good, and gave it 
 to a young man ; and he hastened to dressit. 
 
 8 And Mie took butter, and milk, and the 
 calf which he had dressed, and set it be- 
 fore them; and he stood by them under 
 the tree, and they did eat. 
 
 9 If And they said to him. Where is Sarah 
 thy wife ? And he said, Behold, 'in the 
 tent. 
 
 10 And he said, I *will certainly return 
 to thee 'according to the time of life ; and 
 lo, '"Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And 
 Sarah heard it in the tent-door, which was 
 behind him. 
 
 11 Now "Abraham and Sarah were old 
 and 2 advanced in age; and it ceased to be 
 with Sarah "after the manner of women. 
 
 12 Therefore Sarah p laughed within her- 
 self, saying, 'After I am 3 become old shall 
 I have pleasure, my r lord being old also ? 
 
 13 And Jehovah said to Abraham, Where- 
 fore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall 1 4 surely 
 bear a child who am old ? 
 
 14 'Is any thing too hard for Jehovah? 
 'At the time appointed I will return to 
 thee, according to the time of life, and 
 Sarah shall have a son. 
 
 15 Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed, 
 not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; 
 but thou didst laugh. 
 
 16 If And the men rose up from thence, 
 and looked towards Sodom : and Abraham 
 went with them "to bring them on the way, 
 
 17 And Jehovah said, '"Shall 1 hide from 
 Abraham that thing which I do ; 
 
 11 
 
Abraham intercedeth for Sodom. 
 
 18 Seeing that Abraham shall surely be- 
 come a great and mighty nation, and all 
 the nations of the earth shall be ^blessed 
 In him ? 
 
 19 For I know him, "that he will com- 
 mand his children and his household after 
 him, and they 6 will keep the way of Jeho- 
 vah, to do justice and judgment; that Je- 
 hovah may bring upon Abraham that which 
 he hath spoken of nim. 
 
 20 And Jehovah said, Because *the cry 
 of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and be 
 cause their sin is very grievous, 
 
 21 °I will go down now, and see whether 
 they have done altogether according to the 
 cry of it, which is come to me; and if not, 
 *I will know. 
 
 22 And the men turned their faces from 
 thence, 'and went towards Sodom: but 
 Abraham ''stood yet before Jehovah. 
 
 23 If And Abraham 'drew near, and said, 
 'Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with 
 the wicked ? 
 
 24 * Terhaps there may be fifty righteous 
 within the city : wilt thou also destroy and 
 not spare the place for the fifty righteous 
 that are therein ? 
 
 25 That be far from thee to do after this 
 manner, to slay the righteous with the 
 wicked ; and *that the righteous should be 
 as the wicked, that be far from thee: 
 'Shall not the Judge of all the earth do 
 right ? 
 
 26 And Jehovah said, *If I find in Sodom 
 fifty righteous within the city, then I will 
 spare all the place for their sakes. 
 
 27 And Abraham answered and said, 
 'Behold now, I have taken upon me to 
 speak to Jehovah, 8 and I am m but dust 
 and ashes : 
 
 28 "Perhaps there may lack five of the 
 fifty righteous : wilt thou destroy all the 
 city for lack of five ? And he said, If I find 
 there forty and five, I will not destroy it. 
 
 29 And he spoke to him yet again, and 
 said, '"Perhaps there may be forty found 
 there. And he said, I will not do it for 
 forty's sake. 
 
 30 And he said to him, O let not "the 
 Lord be angry, and I will speak: ^Per- 
 haps there may be thirty found there. 
 And he said, I will not do it, if I find 
 thirty there. 
 
 31 And he said, Behold now, I have 
 taken upon me to speak to the Lord: 
 "Perhaps there may be twenty found 
 there. And he said, I will not destroy it 
 for twenty's sake. 
 
 32 And he said, "Oh let not the Lord be 
 angry, and I will speak yet but this once: 
 "Perhaps ten may be found there. "And 
 he said, I will not destroy it for ten's sake. 
 
 33 And Jehovah went his way, as soon 
 as he had "ceased to speak with Abraham: 
 and Abraham returned to his place.

 Lot is sent out of Sodom. 
 
 meet them; and he bowed himself with 
 his face towards the ground ; 
 
 2 And he said, Behold now, my lords, 
 "turn, I pray you, into your servant's 
 house, and tarry all night, and ''wash your 
 feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on 
 your 3 way. And they said, 'Nay; but we 
 will abide in the street all night. 
 
 3 And he pressed upon them greatly; 
 and they turned in to him, and entered 
 his house ; f and he made them a feast, 
 and did bake unleavened bread, and they 
 did eat. 
 
 4 If But before they lay down, the men 
 of the city, ewenthemen of Sodom, encom- 
 passed the house, 4 both old and young, 
 all the people from every quarter : 
 
 5 s And they called to Lot, and said to 
 him, Where are the men who came in to 
 thee this night? ''bring them out to us, that 
 we 'may know them. 
 
 6 And *Lot went out at the door to them, 
 and shut the door after him, 
 
 7 And said, I pray you, brethren, do not 
 so wickedly. 
 
 8 'Behold now, I have two daughters who 
 have not known man ; let me, Ipray you, 
 bring them out to you, and do ye to tnem 
 as is good in your 5 sight: only to these 
 men do nothing; "for therefore came they 
 under the shadow of my roof. 
 
 9 And they said, Stand back. And they 
 said again, This one man "came in to 
 sojourn, "and he will "surely be a judge : 
 now will we deal worse with thee than 
 with them. And they pressed 'hard upon 
 the man, even Lot, and came near to break 
 the door. 
 
 10 But the men put forth their hand, and 
 pulled Lot into the house to them, and 
 shut 8 the door. 
 
 11 And they smote the men p that were at 
 the door of the house with blindness, both 
 small and great: so that they wearied 
 themselves to find the door. 
 
 12 If And the men said to Lot, Hast thou 
 here any besides ? son-in-law, and thy 
 sons, and thy daughters, and "whomsoever 
 thou hast in the city, «bring them out of 
 this place : 
 
 13 For we will destroy this place, be- 
 cause '"their r cry hath become great before 
 the "face of Jehovah ; and 'Jehovah hath 
 sent us to destroy it. 
 
 14 And Lot went out, and spoke to his 
 sons-in-law, M2 who had married his daugh- 
 ters, and said, ""Arise, depart from this 
 place ; for Jehovah will destroy this city : 
 •but he seemed "like one that ,5 jested to 
 his sons-in-law. 
 
 15 If And when the morning arose, then 
 the angels hastened Lot, saying, "Arise, 
 take thy wife, and thy two daughters who 
 tare here, lest thou be consumed in the 
 "punishment of the city. 
 
 16 And while he lingered, the men laid 
 hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of 
 his wife, and upon the hand of his two 
 daughters; "Jehovah being merciful to 
 him ; 'and they brought him forth, and set 
 him without the city. 
 
 17 If And it came to pass, when they had 
 brought them forth abroad, that he said, 
 'Escape for thy life ; ''look not behind thee, 
 neither stay thou in all the plain : escape 
 to the mountain, lest thou be consumed. 
 
Sodom and Gomorrah destroyed. 
 
 18 And Lot said to them, Oh, "not so, 
 my Lord ! 
 
 19 Behold now, thy servant hath found 
 "favour in thy sight, and thou hast magni- 
 fied thy mercy, which thou hast shewed to 
 me ls by saving my life : and I cannot es- 
 cape to the mountain, lest some evil take 
 me, and I die : 
 
 20 Behold now, this city is near to flee 
 to, and it is a little one : Oh, let me escape 
 thither! (is it not a little one?) and ">I 
 shall live. 
 
 21 And he said to him, See, 'I have ac- 
 cepted tthee concerning this thing also, 
 that I will not overthrow this city, for 20 
 which thou hast spoken. 
 
 22 Haste, 2l escape thither ; for S I cannot 
 do any thing till thou be come thither: 
 therefore ''the name of the city was called 
 ||Zoar. 
 
 23 f The sun had trisen upon the earth 
 when Lot entered into Zoar. 
 
 24 Then 'Jehovah rained upon Sodom 
 and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire 
 from Jehovah out of heaven ; 
 
 25 And he overthrew those cities, and 
 all the plain, and all the inhabitants of 
 the cities, and Hhat which grew upon the 
 ground. 
 
 26 If But his wife looked back from be- 
 hind him, and she became 'a pillar of salt. 
 
 27 If And Abraham 22 went up early in 
 the morning to the place where m he ' had' 
 stood before Jehovah : 
 
 28 And he looked towards Sodom and 
 Gomorrah, and towards all the land of the 
 plain, and beheld, and lo, "the smoke of 
 the country went up as the smoke of a 
 "furnace. 
 
 29 If And it came to pass, when God de- 
 stroyed the cities of the plain, that God 
 "remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out 
 of the midst of the overthrow, when he 
 overthrew the cities in 24 which Lot dwelt. 
 
 30 If And Lot went up out of Zoar, and 
 p dwelt in the mountain, and his two daugh- 
 ters with him ; for he feared to dwell in 
 Zoar : and he dwelt in a cave, he, and his 
 two daughters. 
 
 31 And the first-born said to the younger, 
 Our father is old, and there is not a man 
 in the earth v to come in to us after the 
 manner of all the earth : 
 
 32 Come, let us make our father drink 
 wine, and we will lie with him, that we 
 'may preserve seed of our father. 
 
 33 And they made their father drink 
 wine that night : and the first-born went 
 in, and lay with her father ; and he per- 
 ceived not when she lay down, nor when 
 she arose._ 
 
 34 And it came to pass on the morrow, 
 that the first-born said to the younger, 
 Behold, I lay a5 last night with my father : 
 let us make him drink wine this night also ; 
 and go thou in, and lie with him, that we 
 may preserve seed of our father. 
 
 35 And they made their father drink wine 
 that night also: and the younger arose, 
 and lay with him ; and he perceived not 
 when she lay down, nor when she arose. 
 
 36 Thus f both the daughters of Lot 
 ^had conceived by their father. 
 
 37 And the first-born bore a son, and 
 called his name Moab: 'the same is the 
 father of the Moabites to this day.

 Abraham denieth his wife. 
 
 38 And the younger, she also bore a son, 
 and called his name Bcn-ammi: 'the same 
 is the father of the children of Ammon to 
 this day. 
 
 CHAPTER XX. 
 
 1 Abraham sojourneth at Gerar, 2 denieth his wife, 
 and loselh her. 3 Abimelech is reproved far her 
 in a dream. 9 He rebuketh Abraham, 14 restore! h 
 Sarah, 16 and reproveth her. 17 He is healed by 
 Abraham's prayer. 
 
 AND Abraham journeyed from "thence 
 towards the south country, and dwell- 
 ed between ''Kadesh and Shur, and "so- 
 journed in Gerar. 
 
 2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, 
 d She is my sister: And Abimelech king 
 of Gerar sent and "took Sarah. 
 
 3 But -^God came to Abimelech ! in a 
 dream by night, and said to him, ft Behold, 
 thou art but a dead man, 'on account of the 
 woman whom thou hast taken : for she is 
 ta man's wife. 
 
 4 But Abimelech had not come near her: 
 and he said, fLoRD, 'wilt thou slay also a 
 righteous nation ? 
 
 5 Said he not to me, She is my sister ? 
 and she, even she herself said, He is my 
 brother : *in the ||integrity of my heart and 
 innocency of my hands have I done this. 
 
 6 And God said to him in 3 the dream, 
 Yea, I know that thou didst this in the 
 integrity of thy heart; for l l also withheld 
 thee from sinning m against me : therefore 
 suffered I thee not to touch her. 
 
 7 Now therefore restore the man his wife ; 
 "for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for 
 thee, and thou shalt live : and if thou re- 
 store her not, "know thou that thou shalt 
 surely die, thou p and all that are thine. 
 
 8 Therefore Abimelech rose early in the 
 morning, and called all his servants, and 
 told all these things in their 4 hearing: and 
 the men were & greatly afraid. 
 
 9 Then Abimelech called Abraham, and 
 said to him, What hast thou done to us ? 
 andin what have I offended thee, 'that thou 
 hast brought on me and on my kingdom a 
 great sin? thou hast done deeds to me 
 'that ought not to be done. 
 
 10 And Abimelech said to Abraham, 
 What sawest thou, that thou hast done 
 this thing ? 
 
 11 And Abraham said, Because I thought, 
 Surely 'the fear of God is not in this place ; 
 and 'they will slay me for my wife's sake. 
 
 12 And yet indeed "she is my sister; she 
 is the daughter of my father, but not the 
 daughter of my mother : and she became 
 my wife. 
 
 13 And it came to pass, when r God caused 
 me to wander from my father's house, that 
 I said to her, This is thy kindness which 
 thou shalt shew to me; at every place whi- 
 ther we shall come, "say of me, He is my 
 brother. 
 
 14 And Abimelech *took sheep, and oxen, 
 and men-servants, and women-servants, 
 and gave them to Abraham, and restored to 
 him Sarah his wife. 
 
 15 And Abimelech said, Behold, "my land 
 is before thee: dwell twhere it pleaseth 
 thee. 
 
 16 And to Sarah he said, Behold; I have 
 given Hhy brother a thousand 6 shekels 
 of silver: "behold, he is to thee d a cover- 
 
 ing of the T eyea to all that 
 
 are 
 13

 thee, and with all ^others: thus she was 
 reproved. 
 
 17 U So Abraham 'prayed to God : and 
 God healed Abhnelech, and his wife, and 
 his maid-servants; and they bore children. 
 
 18 For Jehovah had /"made all the house- 
 hold of Abimelech unfruitful, because of 
 Sarah, Abraham's wife.

 said, and Jehovah did to Sarah *as 
 lie had spoken. 
 
 2 For Sarah 'conceived and bore Abra- 
 ham a son in his old age, d at the set time 
 of which God had spoken to him. 
 
 3 And Abraham called the name of his 
 son that was born to him, whom Sarah 
 bore to him, 'Isaac. 
 
 4 And Abraham 'circumcised his son 
 Isaac, being eight days old, ? as God had 
 commanded him. 
 
 5 And ^Abraham was a hundred years 
 old, when his son Isaac was born to him. 
 
 6 1f And Sarah said, 'God hath made me 
 laugh, so that all that hear 'will laugh 
 with me. 
 
 7 And she said, Who would have said to 
 Abraham, that Sarah should have given 
 children suck ? 'for I have borne him a son 
 in his old age. 
 
 8 And the child grew, and was weaned : 
 and Abraham made a great feast the same 
 day that Isaac was weaned. 
 
 9 H And Sarah saw the son of Hagar m the 
 Egyptian, "whom she had borne to Abra- 
 ham, "mocking. 
 
 10 Wherefore she said to Abraham, p Cast 
 out this bond -woman, and her son: for the 
 son of this bond-woman shall not be heir 
 with my son, even with Isaac. 
 
 11 And the thing was very grievous in 
 Abraham's sight, 'because of his son. 
 
 12 If And God said to Abraham, Let it 
 not be grievous in thy sight, because of the 
 lad, and because of thy bond-woman ; in 
 all that Sarah hath said to thee, hearken 
 to her voice : for r in Isaac shall thy seed 
 be called. 
 
 13 And also of the son of the bond-woman 
 will I make 'a nation, because he is thy 
 seed. 
 
 14 And Abraham rose up early in the 
 morning, and took bread, and a ' leathern' 
 bottle of water, and gave it to Hagar (put- 
 ting it on her shoulder) and the child, and 
 'sent her away: and she departed, and 
 wandered in the 'desert of Beer-sheba. 
 
 15 And the water was spent in the ' lea- 
 thern' bottle, and she cast the child under 
 one of the shrubs. 
 
 16 And she went, and sat 2 down over 
 against him, a good way off, as it were a 
 bow-shot: for she said, Let me not see 
 the death of the child. And she sat over 
 against him, and lifted up her voice, and 
 wept. 
 
 17 And "God heard the voice of the lad: 
 and the angel of God called to Hagar out 
 of heaven, and said to her, What ailefh 
 thee, Hagar ? Fear not ; for God hath 
 heard the voice of the lad where lie is.

 19 And *God opened her eyes, and she 
 saw a well of water : and she went, and 
 filled the ' leathern' bottle with water, and 
 gave the lad drink. 
 
 20 And God *was with the lad ; and he 
 grew, and dwelt in the Mesert, 2 and be- 
 came an archer. 
 
 21 And he dwelt in the Mesert of Paran: 
 and his mother "took for him a wife out of 
 the land of Egypt. 
 
 22 If And it came to pass at that time, 
 that 'Abimelech and Phichol the chief cap- 
 tain of his host spoke to Abraham, saying, 
 'God is with thee in all that thou doest : 
 
 23 Now therefore rf swear to me here by 
 God, tthat thou wilt not deal falsely with 
 me, nor with my son, nor with my son's 
 son : but according to the kindness that I 
 have done to thee, thou shalt do to me, and 
 to the land wherein thou hast sojourned. 
 
 24 And Abraham said, I will swear. 
 
 25 And Abraham reproved Abimelech 
 because of a well of water, which Abime- 
 lech's servants 'had violently taken away. 
 
 26 And Abimelech said, 1 5 know not who 
 hath done this thing: neither didst thou tell 
 me, neither yet have I heard of it, but to-day. 
 
 27 And Abraham took sheep and oxen, 
 and gave them to Abimelech : and both of 
 them Anade a covenant. 
 
 28 And Abraham set seven ewe-lambs of 
 the flock by themselves. 
 
 29 And Abimelech said to Abraham, 
 s What mean these seven ewe-lambs, which 
 thou hast set by themselves ? 
 
 30 And he said, For these seven ewe- 
 lambs shalt thou take of my hand, that 
 A they may be a witness for me that I have 
 digged this well. 
 
 31 Wherefore he 'called that place ||Beer- 
 sheba ; because there they swore both of 
 them. 
 
 32 Thus they made a covenant at Beer- 
 sheba: then Abimelech rose up, and Phi- 
 chol the chief captain of his host, and they 
 returned into the land of the Philistines. 
 
 33 f And Abraham planted a llgrove in 
 Beer-sheba, and 'called there on the name 
 of Jehovah, "the everlasting God. 
 
 34 And Abraham sojourned in the Philis- 
 tines' land many days. 
 
 CHAPTER XXII. 
 
 1 Abraham is called to offer Isaac. 3 He givetk 
 ■proof of his faith and obedience. 1 1 The angel 
 stayeth him. 13 Isaac is exchanged with a ram. 
 14 The place is called Jehovah-jireh. 15 Abraham 
 is blessed again. 20 Tlie generation of Nahor to 
 Rebekah. 
 
 AND it came to pass after these things, 
 that "God tried Abraham, and said 
 to him, Abraham: And he said, tBehold, 
 here I am. 
 
 2 And he said, Take now thy son, 'thine 
 only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and ?go 
 thou 'into the land of Moriah ; and ofter 
 him there for a burnt-offering upon one of 
 the mountains of which I will tell thee. 
 
 3 If And Abraham rose up early in the 
 morning, and saddled his ass, and took 
 two of his young men with him, and Isaac 
 his son, and 3 split the wood for the burnt- 
 offering, and rose up, and went to the place 
 of which God had told him. 
 
Trial of Abraham 's faith. 
 
 4 Then on the third day Abraham lifted 
 up his eyes, and saw the place afar oft'. 
 
 5 And Abraham said to his young men, 
 Abide ye here with the ass, and I and the 
 lad will go yonder and worship, and come 
 again to you. 
 
 6 And Abraham took the wood of the 
 burnt -offering, and d laid it upon Isaac his 
 son ; and he took the fire in his hand and 
 a knife : and they went both of them to- 
 gether. 
 
 7 And Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, 
 and said, My father : and lie said, tHere 
 am I, my son. And he said, Behold the 
 fire and the wood: but where is the ||lamb 
 for a burnt-offering ? 
 
 8 And Abraham said, My son, God will 
 provide himself a lamb for a burnt-offer- 
 ing : so they went both of them together. 
 
 9 And they came to the place of which 
 God had told him ; and Abraham built an 
 altar there, and laid the wood in order; 
 and bound Isaac his son, and 'laid him on 
 the altar upon the wood. 
 
 10 And Abraham stretched forth his hand, 
 and took the knife to slay his son. 
 
 11 And the angel of Jehovah called to 
 him from heaven, and said, Abraham, 
 Abraham. And he said, Here am I. 
 
 12 And he said, r Lay not thine hand upon 
 the lad, neither do thou any thing to him : 
 for ff now I know that thou fearest God, 
 seeing thou has not withheld thy son, thine 
 only son, from me. 
 
 13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and 
 looked, and behold, behind him a ram 
 caught in a thicket by his horns : and 
 Abraham went and took the ram, and of- 
 fered him up for a burnt-offering in the 
 stead of his son. 
 
 14 And Abraham called the name of that 
 place [|Jehovah-jireh : as it is said to this 
 day, In the mount of "Jehovah it will be 
 provided. 
 
 15 If And the angel of Jehovah called to 
 Abraham from heaven the second time, 
 
 16 And said, *By myself have I sworn, 
 saith Jehovah, 5 because thou hast done 
 this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, 
 thine only son : 
 
 17 That 6 I will surely, bless thee, and 7 I 
 will multiply thy seed "as the stars of the 
 heaven, *and as the sand which is upon 
 the sea-tshore; and 'thy seed shall possess 
 '"the gate of "their enemies ; 
 
 18 "And m thy seed shall all the nations 
 of the earth be blessed; "because thou hast 
 obeyed my voice. 
 
 19 So Abraham returned to his young 
 men, and they rose up, and went together 
 to p Beer-sheba; and Abraham dwelt at 
 Beer-sheba. 
 
 20 If And it came to pass after these 
 things, that it was told Abraham, saying, 
 Behold, «Milcah, she hath also borne child- 
 ren to thy brother Nahor ; 
 
 21 r Huz his first-born, and Buz his bro- 
 ther, and Kemuel the father 'of Aram, 
 
 22 And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, 
 and Jidlaph, and Bethuel. 
 
 23 And 'Bethuel begot "Rebekah : these 
 eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham's 
 brother. 
 
 24 And his concubine, whose name was 
 Reumah, she bore also Tebah, and Gaham, 
 and Thahash, and Maachah.

 1 The age and death of Sarah. 3 The purchase of 
 Mackpelah, 19 where Sarah was buried. 
 
 AND Sarah was a hundred and seven 
 and twenty years old : these were the 
 years of the life of Sarah. 
 
 2 And Sarah died in "Kirjath-arba; the 
 same is *Hebron in the land of Canaan : 
 and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, 
 and to weep for her. 
 
 3 Tf And Abraham stood up from before 
 his dead, and spoke to the sons of Heth, 
 saying, 
 
 4 'I am a stranger and a sojourner with 
 you : d give me a possession of a burying- 
 place with you, that I may bury my dead 
 out of my sight. 
 
 5 And the children of Heth answered 
 Abraham, saying to him, 
 
 6 Hear us, my lord ; thou art t'a mighty 
 prince among us : in the choice of our se- 
 pulchres bury thy dead: none of us shall 
 withhold from thee his sepulchre, but that 
 thou mayest bury thy dead. 
 
 7 And Abraham stood up and bowed him- 
 self to the people of the land, even to the 
 children of Heth. 
 
 8 And he 'talked with them, saying, If it 
 be your mind that I should bury my dead 
 out of my sight, hear me, and entreat for 
 me to Ephron the son of Zohar, 
 
 9 That lie may give me the cave of Mach- 
 pelah, which he hath, which is in the end 
 of his field ; for tas much money as it is 
 worth he shall give it me, for a possession 
 of a burying -place among you. 
 
 10 And Ephron dwelt among the children 
 of Heth. And Ephron the Hittite an- 
 swered Abraham in the Shearing of the 
 children of Heth, even of all that Avent in 
 at the gate of his city, saying, 
 
 11 e Nay, my lord, hear me: the field I give 
 thee, ana the cave that is therein, I give 
 it thee ; in the presence of the sons of my 
 people give I it 'to' thee: bury thy dead. 
 
 12 And Abraham bowed down himself 
 before the people of the land. 
 
 13 And he spoke to Ephron in the 'hear- 
 ing of the people of the land, saying, But 
 if thou wilt give it, I pray thee, hear me : 
 I will give thee money for the field : take 
 it of me, and I will bury my dead there. 
 
 14 And Ephron answered Abraham, say- 
 ing to him, 
 
 15 My lord, hearken to me : the land is 
 worth four hundred ''shekels of silver; 
 what is that betwixt me and thee ? bury 
 therefore thy dead. 
 
 16 And Abraham hearkened to Ephron, 
 and Abraham 'weighed to Ephron the sil- 
 ver which he had named in the "hearing of 
 the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of 
 silver, current money with the merchant. 
 
 17 1f And Hhe field of Ephron, which was 
 in Machpelah, which was^ before Mamre, 
 the field and the cave which was therein, 
 and all the trees that were in the field, that 
 were in all the "regions round about, were 
 made sure 
 
 18 To Abraham for a possession in the 
 presence of the children of Heth, before 
 all that went in at the gate of his city. 
 
 19 And after this, Abraham buried Sarah 
 his wife in the cave of the field of Mach- 
 pelah, before Mamre: the same is Hebron 
 in the land of Canaan. 
 
 15 
 
Abraham sendeth his servant 
 
 20 And the field, and the cave that is 
 therein 'were made sure to Abraham for a 
 possession of a burying-place, by the sons 
 of Heth. 
 
 CHAPTER XXIV. 
 
 1 Abraham sweareth his servant. 10 Tlie servant's 
 journey: 12 His prayer : 11 His sign. 15 Re- 
 bekah mceteth him, IS fulfillelh his sign, 22 re- 
 ceiveth jewels, 23 sheweth her kindred, 25 and 
 inviteth him home. 20 The servant blesseth God. 
 2S Laban enterlaineth him. 34 The servant shew- 
 eth his message. 50 Laban and Bethuel approve it. 
 58 Rebekah consenteth to go. 62 Isaac meeteth her. 
 
 AND Abraham "was oldonrffadvanced 
 in years: and Jehovah 'had blessed 
 Abraham in all things. 
 
 2 And Abraham said c to his eldest servant 
 of his house, that d ruled over all that he 
 had, 'Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my 
 thigh : 
 
 3 And I will make thee 'swear by Jeho- 
 vah, the God of heaven, and the God of 
 the earth, that f thou wilt not take a wife 
 for my son of the daughters of the Canaan - 
 ites among whom I dwell : 
 
 4 A But thou shalt go 'to my country, and 
 to my kindred, and take a wife 2 for my son 
 Isaac. 
 
 5 And the servant said to Mm, 3 Perhaps 
 the woman will not be willing to follow 
 me to this land : must 1 4 surely bring thy 
 son again to the land from whence thou 
 earnest ? 
 
 6 And Abraham said to him, Beware 
 thou, that thou bring not my son thither 
 again. 
 
 7 1f Jehovah God of heaven, who Hook 
 me from my father's house, and from the 
 land of my kindred, and who spoke to me, 
 and who swore to me, saying, 'To thy seed 
 will I give this land : OT he will send his 
 angel before thee, and thou shalt take a 
 wife 5 for my son from thence. 
 
 8 And if the woman will not be willing 
 to follow thee, then "thou shalt be clear 
 from this mine oath; only bring not my 
 son thither again. 
 
 9 And the servant put his hand under the 
 thigh of Abraham his master, and swore to 
 him concerning that matter. 
 
 10 If And the servant took ten camels, 
 of the camels of his master, and departed ; 
 (°J|for all the goods of his master were in 
 his hand ;) and he arose, and went to Me- 
 sopotamia, to p the city of Nahor. 
 
 11 And he made his camels kneel down 
 without the city by a well of water, at the 
 time of the evening, even the time t^when 
 women go out to draw water : 
 
 12 And he said, r O Jehovah God of my 
 master Abraham, I pray thee, ,7 give me 
 success this day, and shew kindness to my 
 master Abraham. 
 
 13 Behold, 'I stand here by the well of 
 water ; and "the daughters of the men of 
 the city come out to draw water : 
 
 14 And let it come to pass, that the dam- 
 sel to whom I shall say, Let down thy 
 'pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; 
 and she shall say, Drink, and I will give 
 thy camels drink also : let the same be she 
 "whom thou hast appointed for thy servant 
 Isaac ; and "thereby shall I know that thou 
 hast shewed kindness to my master. 
 
 15 If And it came to pass, before he had 
 done speaking, that behold, Rebekah came 
 out, who was born to Bethuel, son of *Mil-

 call, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's bro- 
 ther-, with her pitcher upon her shoulder. 
 
 16 And the damsel y was tvery fair to look 
 upon, a virgin ; neither had any man known 
 her : and she went down to the well, and 
 filled her pitcher, and came up. 
 
 17 And the servant ran to meet her, and 
 said, Let me, I pray thee, drink a little 
 water 10 from thy pitcher. 
 
 18 *And •she said, Drink, my lord : and 
 she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon 
 her hand, and gave him drink. 
 
 19 And when she had done giving him 
 drink, she said, I will draw water for thy 
 camels also, until they have done drinking. 
 
 20 And she hastened , and emptied her 
 pitcher into the trough, and ran again to 
 the well to draw water, and drew for all 
 his camels. 
 
 21 And the man, "watching her, held his 
 peace, 12 to know whether "Jehovah had 
 made his journey prosperous, or not. 
 
 22 And it came to pass, 13 when the ca- 
 mels had done drinking, that the man took 
 a golden *||ear-ring, of half a shekel weight, 
 and two bracelets for her hands of ten 
 shekels weight of gold, 
 
 23 And said, Whose daughter art thou ? 
 tell me, I pray thee : is there room in thy 
 father's house for us to lodge in ? 
 
 24 And she said to him, c l am the daugh- 
 ter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, whom 
 she bore to Nahor. 
 
 25 She said, moreover, to him, We have 
 both straw and provender enough, and 
 room to lodge in. 
 
 26 And the man d bowed down his head, 
 and worshipped Jehovah. 
 
 27 And he said, 'Blessed be Jehovah God 
 of my master Abraham, who hath not left 
 destitute my master of 'his mercy and his 
 "faithfulness : I being in the way, Jeho- 
 vah 4ed me to the house of my master's 
 brethren. 
 
 28 And the damsel ran, and told them of 
 her mother's house these things. 
 
 29 ^f And Rebekah had a brother, and his 
 name was ''Laban : and Laban ran out to 
 the man, to the well. 
 
 30 And it came to pass, when he saw the 
 ear-ring, and bracelets upon his sister's 
 hands, and when he heard the words of 
 Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus spoke the 
 man to me ; that he came to the man, and 
 behold, he stood by the camels at the 
 well. 
 
 31 And he said, Come in, "thou blessed 
 of Jehovah, wherefore standest thou with- 
 out ? for I have prepared the house, and 
 room for the camels. 
 
 32 If And the man came into the house : 
 and he ungirded his camels, and *gave 
 straw and provender for the camels, and 
 water to wash his feet, and the men's feet 
 that were with him. 
 
 33 And there was set n food before him to 
 eat : but he said, 'I will not eat until I have 
 told mine errand. And he said, Speak on. 
 
 34 And he said, I am Abraham's ser- 
 vant; 
 
 35 Jehovah "hath blessed my mas- 
 ter greatly, and he is become great : and 
 he hath given him flocks, and herds, and 
 silver, and gold, and men-servants, and 
 maid-servants, and camels, and asses. 
 
 36 And Sarah, my master's wife, "bore a

 son to my master when she was old : and 
 "to him hath he given ail that he hath. 
 
 37 And my master ? made me swear, say- 
 ing, Thou shalt not take a wife "for my 
 son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in 
 whose land I dwell : 
 
 38 «But thou shalt go to my father's house, 
 and to my kindred, and take a wife I8 for 
 my son. 
 
 39 'And I said to my master, "Perhaps 
 the woman will not follow me. 
 
 40 'And he said to me, Jehovah, 'before 
 whom I walk, will send his angel with 
 thee, and prosper thy way; and thou shalt 
 take a wife for my son ot my kindred, and 
 of my father's house. 
 
 41 "Then shalt thou be clear from this 
 mine oath, when thou comest to my kin- 
 dred ; and if they give not thee one, thou 
 shalt be clear from my oath. 
 
 42 And I came this day to the well, and 
 said, "0 Jehovah, God ot my master Abra- 
 ham, if now thou do prosper my way which 
 I go: 
 
 43 "Behold, I stand by the well of water; 
 and it shall come to pass, that when the 
 virgin cometh forth to draw water, and I 
 say to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little 
 water of thy pitcher to drink ; 
 
 44 And she say to me, Both drink thou, 
 and I will also draw for thy camels : let 
 the same be the woman whom Jehovah 
 hath appointed 20 for my master's son. 
 
 45 z And before I had done "speaking in 
 mine heart, behold, Rebekah came forth 
 with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she 
 went down to the well, and drew water : 
 and I said to her, Let me drink, I pray 
 thee. 
 
 46 And she made haste, and let down 
 her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, 
 Drink, and I will give thy camels drink 
 also: so I drank, and she made the camels 
 drink also. 
 
 47 And I asked her, and said, Whose 
 daughter art thou? And she said, The 
 daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom 
 Milcah bore to him : and I *put the ear- 
 ring upon her face, and the bracelets upon 
 her hands. 
 
 48 *And I bowed down my head, and 
 worshipped Jehovah, and blessed Jeho- 
 vah God of my master Abraham, who had 
 led me in the right way to take *my mas- 
 ter's brother's daughter to his son. 
 
 49 And now if ye will c deal kindly and 
 truly with my master, tell me : and if not, 
 tell me ; that I may turn to the right hand, 
 or to the left. 
 
 50 Then Laban and Bethuel answered, 
 and said, 'The thing proceedeth from Je- 
 hovah: we cannot 'speak to thee bad or 
 good. 
 
 51 Behold, Rebekah f is before thee, take 
 her, and go, and let her be thy master's 
 son's wife, as Jehovah hath spoken. 
 
 52 And it came to pass, that, when Abra- 
 ham's servant heard their words, he ? wor- 
 shipped Jehovah, bowing himself to the 
 earth. 
 
 53 And the servant brought forth fjewels 
 of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment, 
 and gave them to Rebekah. He gave also 
 to her brother and to her mother 'precious 
 things. 
 
 54 And they did eat and drink, he and

 55 And her brother and her mother said, 
 Let the damsel abide with us \\a few days, 
 at the least ten ; after that she snail go. 
 
 56 And he said to them, Hinder me not, 
 seeing Jehovah hath prospered my way: 
 send me away, that I may go to my master. 
 
 57 And they said, We will call the dam- 
 sel, and inquire 21 from her mouth. 
 
 58 And they called Rebekah, and said to 
 her, Wilt thou go with this man ? And 
 she said, I will go. 
 
 59 And they sent away Rebekah their 
 sister, and 'her nurse, and Abraham's ser- 
 vant, and his men. 
 
 60 And they blessed Rebekah, and said 
 to her, Thou art our sister: be thou m the 
 mother of thousands of millions, and "let 
 thy seed possess the gate of those who hate 
 them. 
 
 61 If And Rebekah arose, and her dam- 
 sels, and they rode upon the camels, and 
 followed the man : and the servant took 
 Rebekah, and went his way. 
 
 62 And Isaac came from the way of the 
 "well Lahai-roi ; for he dwelt in the south 
 country. 
 
 63 And Isaac went out Hto meditate ift 
 the field ^in the- evening: and he lifted up 
 his eyes, and saw,, and behold, the camel3 
 were coming. 
 
 64 And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and 
 when she saw Isaac, * she alighted ' from' 
 the camel. 
 
 65 For she had said to the servant, What 
 man is this that walketh in the field to 
 meet us ? And the servant had said, It is 
 my master : therefore she took a vail and 
 covered herself. 
 
 66 And the servant told Isaac all things 
 that he had done. 
 
 67 And Isaac brought her into his mother 
 Sarah's tent, and took Rebekah, and she 
 became his wife ; and he loved her : and 
 Isaac 'was comforted after his mother's 
 death. 
 
 CHAPTER XXV. 
 
 1 The sons of Abraham by Keturah. 5 The division 
 of his goods. 7 His age, and death. 9 His burial. 
 12 The generations of Ishmael. 17 His age, and 
 death. 21 Isaac prayeth for Rebekah, being bar- 
 ren. 22 The children strive > within her. 24 The 
 birth of Esau and Jacob. 27 Their difference. 
 29 Esau selleth his birthright. 
 
 THEN again Abraham took a wife, and 
 her name was Keturah. 
 
 2 And 'she bore him Zimran, and Jok- 
 shan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, 
 and Shuah. 
 
 3 And Jokshan begot Sheba, and Dedan. 
 And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, 
 and Letushim, and Leummim. 
 
 4 And the sons of Midian ; Ephah, and 
 Epher, and Hanoch, and Abidah, and El- 
 daah. All these were the children of Ke- 
 turah. 
 
 5 ^f And 'Abraham gave all that he had 
 to Isaac. 
 
 6 But to the sons of the concubines whom 
 Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and 
 sent them away from Isaac his son (while 
 he yet lived) eastward, to d the east coun- 
 try. 
 
 7 And these are the days of the years of 
 
 17 
 
 
 
7 'he birth of Esau and Jacob. 
 
 Abraham's life which he lived, a hundred 
 threescore and fifteen years. 
 
 8 Then Abraham 2 expired, and 'died in a 
 good old age, an old man, and full of years; 
 and %as gathered to his people. 
 
 9 And *his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried 
 him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field 
 of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, 
 •which is before Mamre ; 
 
 10 ''The field which Abraham purchased 
 of the sons of Heth : * there was Abraham 
 buried, and Sarah his wife. 
 
 11 If And it came to pass after the death 
 of Abraham, that God blessed his son 
 Isaac : and Isaac dwelt by the 'well La- 
 hai-roi. 
 
 12 "fl Now these are the generations of 
 Ishmael, Abraham's son, 'whom Hagar 
 the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bore to 
 Abraham. 
 
 13 And "these are the names of the sons 
 of Ishmael, by their names, according to 
 their generations : the first-born of Ishma- 
 el, 3 Nebaioth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, 
 and Mibsam, 
 
 14 And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa, 
 
 15 ||Hadar, and Tenia, Jetur, Naphish, 
 and Kedemah : 
 
 16 These are the sons of Ishmael, and 
 these are their names, by their towns, and 
 by their castles ; "twelve princes accord- 
 ing to their nations. 
 
 17 And these are the years of the life of 
 Ishmael : a hundred and thirty and seven 
 years : and "he ^expired and died, and was 
 gathered to his people. 
 
 18 ''And they dwelt from Havilah to 
 Shur, that is before Egypt, as thou goest 
 towards Assyria: and he tdied «in the pre- 
 sence of all his brethren. 
 
 19 1f And these are the generations of 
 Isaac, Abraham's son: "Abraham begot 
 Isaac : 
 
 20 And Isaac was forty years old when 
 he took Rebekah ^or a wife, 'the daughter 
 of Bethuel the Syrian of Padan-aram, 'the 
 sister to Laban the Syrian. 
 
 21 And Isaac entreated Jehovah for his 
 wife, because she was barren: "and Jeho- 
 vah was entreated of him, and "Rebekah 
 his wife conceived. 
 
 22 And the children struggled together 
 within her : and she said, If it be so, why 
 am I thus ? *And she went to inquire of 
 Jehovah. 
 
 23 And Jehovah said to her, 'Two na- 
 tions are 6 within thee, and two 'kinds of 
 people shall be separated from thy 8 body 
 and Hhe one people shall be stronger than 
 the other people ; and "the elder shall serve 
 the younger. 
 
 24 ^ And when her days to be delivered 
 were fulfilled, behold, there were twins 
 9 within her. 
 
 25 And the first 10 was born red, 'all over 
 like a hairy garment : and they called his 
 name Esau. 
 
 26 And after that "his brother was born, 
 and "his hand took hold on Esau's heel 
 and ''his name was called Jacob: and Isaac 
 was threescore years old when she bore 
 them. 
 
 27 And the boys grew : and Esau was e a 
 "skilful hunter, a man of the field ; and 
 Jacob was ^ w an upright man, e i welling in 
 tents.

 Esau came from the field, and he waa 
 faint. 
 
 30 And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I 
 pray thee, twith that same red pottage ; 
 for I am faint: therefore was his name

 and he swore to him: and 'he sold his 
 birthright to Jacob.

 tage of lentils ; and 'he did eat and drink, 
 and rose up, and went his way : thus Esau 
 despised his birthright. 
 
 CHAPTER XXVI. 
 
 1 Isaac, because of famine, went to Gerar. 2 God 
 instructeth, and blesseth him. 7 He is reproved 
 by Abirnelechfor denying his wife. 12 He grow- 
 eth rich. 18 He diggeth Esek, Sitnah, and Reho- 
 both. 26 Abimelech maketh a covenant with him 
 at Beer-sheba. 34 Esau's wives. 
 
 AND there was a famine in the land, 
 besides "the first famine that was in 
 the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to 
 'Abimelech king of the Philistines to Gerar. 
 
 2 And Jehovah appeared to him, and said, 
 Go not down into Egypt: dwell in the 
 land which I shall tell thee of. 
 
 3 d Sojourn in this land, and r I will be 
 with thee, and Avill bless thee: for to thee, 
 and to thy seed s l will give all these coun- 
 tries, and. I will perform Hhe oath which 
 I swore to Abraham thy father ; 
 
 4 And 1 will make thy seed to multiply 
 as the stars of heaven, and will give to thy 
 seed all these countries : 'and in thy seed 
 shall all the nations of the earth be blessed : 
 
 5 'Because that Abraham obeyed my 
 voice, and kept my charge, my command- 
 ments, my statutes, and my laws. 
 
 6 If And Isaac dwelt in Gerar : 
 
 7 And the men of the place asked him 
 'concerning his wife; and m he said, She 
 is my sister : for "he feared to say, She is 
 my wife; lest, said he, the men of the 
 place should kill me for Rebekah; be- 
 cause she "ivas fair to look upon. 
 
 8 And it came to pass when he had been 
 there a long time, that Abimelech king 
 of the Philistines looked out at a window, 
 and saw, and behold, Isaac was sporting 
 with Rebekah his wife. 
 
 9 And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, 
 Behold, 2 surely she is thy wife : and how 
 saidst thou, She is my sister ? And Isaac 
 said to him, Because I said, Lest I die for 
 her. 
 
 10 And Abimelech said, What is this 
 thou hast done to us ? one of the people 
 might 3 soon have lain with thy wife, and 
 "thou Vouldest have brought guiltiness 
 upon us. 
 
 11 And Abimelech charged all Ins peo- 
 ple, saying, He that 'toucheth this man or 
 his wife sKall surely be put to death. 
 
 12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and 
 treceived in the same year r a hundred- 
 fold : and Jehovah 'blessed him : 
 
TJie wells which Isaac digged. 
 
 CHAPTER XXVII. 
 
 IS And the man "became great, and 
 twent forward, and grew until he became 
 very great : 
 
 14 lor he had possession of flocks, and 
 possession of herds, and s a great number of 
 [[servants : and the Philistines "envied him 
 
 15 And all the wells ""which his father's 
 servants had digged in the days of Abra 
 ham his father, the Philistines had stopped 
 them, and filled them with earth. 
 
 16 And Abimelech said to Isaac, Go from 
 us : for x thou art much mightier than we 
 
 17 If And Isaac departed thence, and 
 pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, 
 and dwelt there. 
 
 18 And Isaac digged again the wells of 
 water which they nad digged in the days 
 of Abraham his father ; for the Philistines 
 had stopped them after the death of Abra 
 ham : y and he called their names after the 
 names by which Ids father had called them 
 
 19 And Isaac's servants 
 
 digged in 
 
 the 
 
 valley, and found there a well of tspring 
 ing water. 
 
 20 And the herdmen of Gerar » contended 
 with Isaac's herdmen, saying, The water 
 is ours : and he called the name of the 
 well l|Esek; because they strove with him. 
 
 21 And they digged another well, and 
 strove for that also : and he called the 
 name of it HSitnah. 
 
 22 And he removed from thence, and 
 digged another well ; and for that they 
 strove not: and he called the name of it 
 IIRehoboth; and he said, For now Jeho- 
 vah hath made room for us, and we shall 
 "be fruitful in the land. 
 
 23 And he went up from thence to Beer- 
 sheba. 
 
 24 And Jehovah appeared to him the 
 same night, and said, 6 I am the God of 
 Abraham thy father : "fear not, for ""I am 
 with thee, and will bless thee, and multi 
 ply thy seed for my servant Abraham's 
 sake. 
 
 25 And he ' built an altar there, and 
 •'called upon the name of Jehovah, and 
 pitched his tent there : and there Isaac's 
 servants digged a well. 
 
 26 IfThen Abimelech went to him from 
 Gerar, and Ahuzzath 8 his friend, *and 
 Phichol the chief captain of his army. 
 
 27 And Isaac said to them, Why have 
 ye come to me, seeing h ye hate me, and 
 have 'sent me away from you ? 
 
 28 And they said, tWe saw certainly 
 that Jehovah 'was with thee : and we said, 
 Let there be now an oath betwixt us, 
 even betwixt us and thee, and let us 
 make a covenant with thee : 
 
 29 tThat thou wilt do us no hurt, as we 
 have not touched thee, and as we have 
 done to thee nothing but good, and have 
 sent thee away in peace : 'thou art now 
 the blessed of Jehovah. 
 
 30 CT And he made them a feast, and they 
 did eat and drink. 
 
 31 And they rose up 9 early in the morn- 
 ing, and "swore one to another: and Isaac 
 sent them away, and they departed from 
 him in peace. 
 
 32 And it came to pass the same day, 
 that Isaac's servants came and told him 
 concerning the well wliich they had dig- 
 ged, and 9aid to him, We have found 
 water.

 Jacob deceiveth his father. 
 
 33 And he called it ||Shebah : "therefore

 34 fAnd Esau was forty years old when 
 he took to wife Judith the daughter of 
 Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath the 
 daughter of Elon the Hittite : 
 
 35 "And they 'were ta grief of mind to 
 Isaac and to Rebekah. 
 
 CHAPTER XXVII. 
 
 1 Isaac sendeth Esau for igame. 6 Rebekah instruct- 
 eth Jacob to obtain the blessing. 15 Jacob under 
 the person of Esau obtaineth it. 30 Esau bringeth 
 2 game. 33 Isaac trembleth. 34 Esau complaineth, 
 and by importunity obtaineth a blessing. 41 He 
 threateneth Jacob. 42 Rebekah disappointeth it. 
 
 AND it came to pass, that when Isaac 
 was old, and °his eyes were dim, so 
 that he could not see, he called Esau his 
 eldest son, and said to him, My son : and 
 he said to him, Behold, here am I. 
 
 2 And he said, Behold now, I am old, I 
 'know not the day of my death : 
 
 3 e Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy 
 weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go 
 out to the field, and ttake 3 some game for 
 me; 
 
 4 And make me 4 pleasant meat, such as 
 I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat ; 
 that 5 I d may bless thee before I die. 
 
 5 And Rebekah heard when Isaac spoke 
 to Esau his son : and Esau went to the 
 field to hunt for 6 game, and to bring it. 
 
 6 If And Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son, 
 saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak 
 to Esau thy brother, saying, 
 
 7 Bring me 7 game, and make me 8 pleasant 
 meat, that I may eat, and bless thee be- 
 fore Jehovah, before my death. 
 
 8 Now therefore, my son, "obey my voice, 
 according to that which I command thee. 
 
 9 Go now to the flock, and bring me from 
 thence two good kids of the goats; and I 
 will make 'of them 9/ pleasant meat for 
 thy father, such as he loveth : 
 
 10 And thou shalt bring it to thy father, 
 that he may eat, and that he e may bless 
 thee before his death. 
 
 11 And Jacob said to Rebekah his mo- 
 ther, Behold, ft Esau my brother is a hairy 
 man, and I am a smooth man : 
 
 12 My father 10 perhaps will 'feel me, and 
 I shall seem to him as a deceiver ; and I 
 shall _ bring *a curse upon me, and not a 
 blessing. 
 
 13 And his mother said to him, 'Upon 
 me be thy curse, my son; only obey my 
 voice, and go bring them to me. 
 
 14 And he went, and took, and brought 
 them to his mother: and his mother m made 
 "pleasant meat, such as his father loved. 
 
 15 And Rebekah took ^'goodly 12 garments 
 of her eldest son Esau, which were with 
 her in the house, and put them upon Ja- 
 cob her younger son : 
 
 16 And she put the skins of the kids of 
 the goats upon his hands, and upon the 
 smooth part of his neck. 
 
 17 And she gave the ^pleasant meat and 
 the bread, which she had prepared, into 
 the hand of her son Jacob. 
 
 18 If And he came to his father, and said, 
 My father. And he said, Here am 1; 
 who art thou, my son ? 
 
 19 And Jacob said to his father, I «m 
 Esau thy first-born ; 1 have done accord- 
 
 19 
 
 
Jacob obtaineth the. blessing. 
 
 ing as thou badest me : arise, I pray thee, 
 sit and eat of my "game, "that 15 thou mayest 
 bless me. 
 
 20 And Isaac said to his son, How is it 
 that thou hast found it so quickly, my 
 son ? And he said, Because Jehovah thy 
 God brought it tto me. 
 
 21 And Isaac said to Jacob, Come near, 
 I pray thee, that I *may feel thee, my son, 
 whether thou be my very son Esau, or not. 
 
 22 And Jacob went near to Isaac his fa- 
 ther ; and he felt him, and said, The voice 
 is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the 
 hands of Esau. 
 
 23 And he "discerned him not, because 
 'his hands were hairy, 17 like his brother 
 Esau's hands : so he blessed him. 
 
 24 And he said, Art thou my very son 
 Esau ? And he said, I am. 
 
 25 And he said, Bring it near to me, and 
 I will eat of my son's '%ame, 'that 19 I may 
 bless thee. And he brought it near to him, 
 and he did eat: and he brought him wine, 
 and he drank. 
 
 26 And his father Isaac said to Mm, Come 
 near now, and kiss me, my son. 
 
 27 And he came near, and kissed him : 
 and he smelled the smell of his raiment, 
 and blessed him, and said, See, 'the smell 
 of my son is as the smell of a field which 
 Jehovah hath blessed : 
 
 28 Therefore 'God give thee of "the dew 
 of heaven, and "the fatness of the earth, 
 and 'plenty of 20 corn and ' new' wine : 
 
 29 *Let people serve thee, and nations 
 bow down to thee ; be lord over thy bre- 
 thren, and z let thy mother's sons bow down 
 to thee: "cursed be every one that curseth 
 thee, and blessed be he that blesseth 
 thee. 
 
 30 If And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac 
 had made an end oi blessing Jacob, and 
 Jacob was yet 21 scarcely gone out from the 
 
 Eresence of Isaac his father, that Esau his 
 rother came in from his hunting. 
 
 31 And he also had made ^pleasant meat, 
 and brought it to his father ; and said to 
 his father, Let my father arise, and 'eat 
 of his son's M game, that thou mayest bless 
 me. 
 
 32 And Isaac his father said to him, Who 
 art thou ? And he said, I am thy son, thy 
 first-born, Esau. 
 
 33 And Isaac ttrembled very exceeding- 
 ly, and said, Who ? where is he that hath 
 "hunted game, and brought it me, and I 
 have eaten of all before thou earnest, and 
 have blessed him? yea, c and he shall be 
 blessed. 
 
 34 And when Esau heard the words of 
 his father, d he cried with a great and 23 ex- 
 ceedingly bitter cry, and said to his father, 
 Bless me, even me also, O my father ! 
 
 35 And he said, Thy brother came with 
 26 cunning, and hath taken away thy bless- 
 ing. 
 
 36 And he said, e Is not he 21 named ||Ja- 
 cob ? for he hath supplanted me these two 
 times : ^he took away my birth-right ; and 
 behold, now he hath taken away my bless- 
 ing. And he said, Hast thou not reserved 
 a blessing for me ? 
 
 37 And Isaac answered and said to Esau, 
 Behold, I have made him thy lord, and 
 all his brethren have I given to him for 
 servants ; and "with corn and ' new' wine

 38 And Esau said to his father, Hast thou 
 but ' this' one blessing, my father ? bless 
 me, even me also, O my father ! And Esau 
 lifted up his voice, 'and wept. 
 
 39 And Isaac his father answered, and 
 said to him, Behold, *thy dwelling shall be 
 ||the 28 fertility of the earth, and of the dew 
 of heaven from above ; 
 
 40 And by thy sword shalt thou live, 
 and 'shalt serve thy brother: and m it shall 
 come to pass when thou shalt have the 
 dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke 
 from off thy neck. 
 
 41 If And Esau "hated Jacob because of 
 the blessing wherewith his father blessed 
 him : and Esau said in his heart, "The 
 days of mourning for my father are at 
 hand, p then will I slay my brother Jacob. 
 
 42 And these words of Esau her elder 
 son were told to Rebekah : and she sent 
 and called Jacob her younger son, and 
 said to him, Behold, thy brother Esau, 
 29 concerning thee, doth 'comfort himself, 
 purposing to kill thee. 
 
 43 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice : 
 and arise, flee thou to Laban my brother, 
 to Haran ; 
 
 44 And tarry with him a few days, until 
 thy brother's fury turn away ; 
 
 45 Until thy brother's anger turn away 
 from thee, and he forget that which thou 
 hast done to him : then I will send, and 
 fetch thee from thence. Why should I be 
 deprived also of you both in one day? 
 
 46 And Rebekah said to Isaac, 'I am 
 weary of my life, because of the daugh- 
 ters of Heth : 'if Jacob take a wife of the 
 daughters of Heth, such as these who are 
 of the daughters of the land, what good 
 30 will my life do me ? 
 
 CHAPTER XXVIII. 
 
 1 Isaac blesseth Jacob, and sendeth him to Padan- 
 aram. 6 Esau marrieth Mahalath the daughter 
 of lshmael. 10 The vision of Jacob's ladder. 18 
 The stone of Beth-el. 20 Jacob's vow. 
 
 AND Isaac called Jacob, and "blessed 
 him, and charged him, and said to 
 him, 'Thou shalt not take a wife of the 
 daughters of Canaan. 
 
 2 "Arise, go to "Tadan-aram, to the house 
 of 'Bethuel thy mother's father ; and take 
 thee a wife from thence of the daughters 
 of ■''Laban thy mother's brother. 
 
 3 fAnd 'God Almighty bless thee, and 
 make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that 
 thou mayest be ta multitude of people ; 
 
 4 And give thee *the blessing of Abra- 
 ham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee ; 
 that thou mayest inherit' the land t '"where - 
 in thou art a stranger, which God gave to 
 Abraham. 
 
 5 And Isaac sent away Jacob: and he 
 went to Padan-aram to Laban, son of 
 Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Re- 
 bekah, Jacob's and Esau's mother. 
 
 6 If When Esau saw that Isaac had 
 blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Pa- 
 dan-aram, to take him a wife from thence ; 
 and that as he blessed him, he gave him a 
 charge, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife 
 of the daughters of Canaan ; 
 
 7 And that Jacob obeyed his father, and 
 his mother, and was gone to Padan-aram : 
 
The vision of Jacob's ladder. 
 
 8 And Esau seeing Hhat the daughters of 
 Canaan tpleased not Isaac his father ; 
 
 9 Then went Esau to Ishmael, and took 
 to the wives whom he had, 'Mahalath, the 
 daughter of Ishmael, Abraham's son, m the 
 sister of 2 Nebaioth, to be his wife. 
 
 10 If And Jacob "went out from Beer- 
 sheba, and went towards "Haran. 
 
 11 And lie lighted upon a certain place, 
 and tarried there all night, because the 
 sun was set : and he took of the stones of 
 that place, and put them for his pillows, 
 and lay down in that place. 3 
 
 12 And he 'dreamed, and behold, a lad- 
 der • was' set up on the earth, and the top 
 of it reached to heaven : and behold, 'the 
 angels of God ascending and descending 
 on it. 
 
 13 'And behold, Jehovah stood above it, 
 and said, 'I am Jehovah God of Abraham 
 thy father, and the God of Isaac : 'the land 
 on which thou liest, to thee will I give it, 
 and to thy seed. 
 
 14 And "thy seed shall be as the dust of 
 the earth ; and thou shalt tspread abroad 
 ■"to the west, and to the east, and to the 
 north, and to the south: and in thee and 
 ^n thy seed shall all the families of the 
 earth be blessed. 
 
 15 And behold, "I Hvill be with thee, and 
 will z keep thee in all places whither thou 
 
 f;oest, and will "bring thee again into this 
 and: for *I will not leave thee, "amtil I 
 have done that of which I have spoken to 
 thee. 
 
 16 *ft And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, 
 and he said, Surely Jehovah is in d this 
 place ; and I knew it not. 
 
 \7 And he was afraid, and said, How 
 dreadful is this place ! this is none other 
 than the house of God, and this is the gate 
 of heaven. 
 
 18 And Jacob rose up early in the morn- 
 ing, and took the stone that he had put for 
 his pillows, and 'set it up for a pillar, %id 
 poured oil upon the top of it. 
 
 19 And he called the name of g that place 
 IIBeth-el : but the name of that city was 
 called Luz at s first. 
 
 20 *And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If 
 'God will be with me, and will keep me 
 
 this way that I go, and will give me 
 ''food to eat, and raiment to put on, 
 
 21 So that 'I come again to my father's 
 house in peace; "then shall Jehovah be 
 my God : 
 
 22 And this stone, which I have set for 
 a pillar, "shall be God's house : "and of 
 all that thou shalt give me, I will surely 
 give the tenth to thee. 
 
 CHAPTER XXIX. 
 
 1 Jacob cometh to the well of Haran. 6 He taketh 
 acquaintance of Rachel. 13 Laban entertaineth 
 him. 18 Jacob covenanteth for Rachel. 23 He is 
 deceived with Leah. 28 He marrieth also Rachel, 
 and serveth for her seven years more. 32 Leah 
 beareth Reuben, 33 Simeon, 34 Levi, 35 and Judah. 
 
 THEN Jacob went on his journey, "and 
 came into the land of the tpeople of 
 the east. 
 
 2 And he looked, and behold, a well in 
 the field, and lo, there were three flocks 
 of sheep lying by it ; for out of that well 
 they watered the flocks : and a great stone 
 was upon the well's mouth. 
 
 3 And thither were all the flocks gather -

 ed : and they rolled the stone from the 
 well's mouth and watered the sheep, and 
 put the stone again upon the well's mouth 
 in its place. 
 
 4 And Jacob said to them, My brethren, 
 Avhence are ye ? And they said, We 
 are of Haran. 
 
 5 And he said to them, Know ye Laban 
 the son of Nahor ? And they said, We 
 know him. 
 
 6 And he said to them, i h Is he well ? 
 And they said, He is well : and behold, 
 Rachel his daughter cometh with the 
 sheep. 
 
 7 And he said, Lo, Ut is yet high day, 
 neither is it time that the cattle should be 
 gathered together: water ye the sheep, 
 and go and feed them. 
 
 8 And they said, We cannot, until all 
 the flocks are collected, and till they roll 
 the stone from the well's mouth; then we 
 water the sheep. 
 
 9 If And while he was yet speaking with 
 them, 'Rachel came with her father's sheep : 
 for she kept them. 
 
 10 And it came to pass, when Jacob saw 
 Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's 
 brother, and the sheep of Laban his mo- 
 ther's brother, that Jacob went near, and 
 ^rolled the stone from the well's mouth, 
 and watered the flock of Laban his mo- 
 ther's brother. 
 
 11 And Jacob 'kissed Rachel, and lifted 
 up his voice, and wept. 
 
 12 And Jacob told Rachel that he was 
 mer father's brother, and that he was Re.- 
 bekah's son; J and she ran and told her 
 father. 
 
 13 And it came to pass when Laban 
 heard the ttidings of Jacob his sister's 
 son, that A he' ran to meet him, and em- 
 braced him, and kissed him, "and brought 
 him- to his house. And he told Laban all 
 these things. 
 
 14 And Laban said to him, 'Surely thou 
 art my bone and my flesh : and he abode 
 with him tthe space of a month. 
 
 15 If And Laban said to Jacob, Because 
 thou art my brother, shouldest thou there- 
 fore serve me for 'nothing ? tell me, what 
 shall thy wages be ? 
 
 16 And Laban had two daughters : the 
 name of the elder was Lean, and the 
 name of the younger was Rachel. 
 
 17 Leah was 2 weak-eyed, but Rachel 
 was beautiful and 3 of comely form. 
 
 18 And Jacob loved Rachel ; and said, 
 *I will serve thee seven years for Rachel 
 thy younger daughter. 
 
 19 And Laban said, It is better that I 
 give her to thee, than that I should give 
 her to another man : abide with me. 
 
 20 And Jacob 'served seven years for 
 Rachel; and they seemed to him but a 
 few days, for the love he had to her. 
 
 21 1 And Jacob said to Laban, Give me 
 my wife (for my days are fulfilled) that I 
 may m go m to her. 
 
 22 And Laban assembled all the men of 
 the place, and "made a feast. 
 
 23 And it came to pass in the evening, 
 that he took Leah his daughter, and 
 brought her to him ; and he went in to her. 
 
 24 And Laban gave to his daughter Leah, 
 Zilpah his maid, for a hand -maid. 
 
 25 And it came to pass, that in the morn- 
 
 21 
 
Jacob marrieth Leah and Rachel. 
 
 ing, behold, it was Leah : and he said to 
 Laban, What is this thou hast done to me ? 
 did not I serve with thee for Rachel? 
 wherefore then hast thou 'deceived me ? 
 
 26 And Laban said, It must not be so 
 done in our country, tto give the younger 
 before the first-born. 
 
 27 "Fulfil her week, and we will give 
 thee this also, for the service which thou 
 shalt serve with me yet seven other years. 
 
 28 And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her 
 week : and he gave him Rachel his daugh- 
 ter as a wife also. 
 
 29 And Laban gave to Rachel his daugh- 
 ter, Bilhah his handmaid, to be her maid. 
 
 SO And he went in also to Rachel, and 
 he 'loved also Rachel more than Leah, 
 and served with him 5 yet seven other 
 years. 
 
 31 If And when Jehovah r saw that Leah 
 was hated, he t5 made her fruitful: but 
 Rachel was barren. 
 
 32 And Leah conceived, and bore a son ; 
 and she called his name ||Reuben : for she 
 said, Surely Jehovah hath 'looked upon 
 my affliction ; now therefore my husband 
 will love me. 
 
 33 And she conceived again, and bore a 
 son; and said, Because Jehovah hath 
 heard that I was hated, he hath therefore 
 given me this son also : and she called his 
 name HSimeon. 
 
 34 And she conceived again, and bore a 
 son; and said, Now this time will my 
 husband be joined to me, because I have 
 borne him three sons : therefore was his 
 name called ||Levi. 
 
 35 And she conceived again, and bore a 
 son : and she said, Now will I praise Je- 
 hovah: therefore she called nis name 
 "HJudah, and tleft bearing. 
 
 CHAPTER XXX. 
 
 1 Rachel, in grief for her barrenness, giveth Bilhah 
 her maid to Jacob. She beareth Dan and Naphta- 
 li. 9 Leah giveth Zilpah her maid, who beareth 
 Gad and Asher. 14 Reuben findeth mandrakes, 
 with which Leah buyeth her husband of Rachel. 
 17 Leah beareth Issachar, Zebulun, and Dinah. 
 22 Rachel beareth Joseph. 25 Jacob desireth to 
 depart. 27 Laban stayeth him on a new covenant. 
 37 Jacob's policy, whereby he became rich. 
 
 AND when Rachel saw that "she bore 
 Jacob no children, Rachel 'envied her 
 sister; and said to Jacob, Give me child- 
 ren, c or else I die. 
 
 2 And Jacob's anger was kindled against 
 Rachel ; and he said, d Am I in God's stead, 
 who hath withheld 'thee from bearing ? 
 
 3 And she said, Behold 'my maid Buhah, 
 
 to in to her; %id she shall bear upon my 
 nees, *that I may also thave children by 
 her. 
 
 4 And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid 
 2 *for a wife : and Jacob went in to her. 
 
 5 And Bilhah conceived, and bore Jacob 
 a son. 
 
 6 And Rachel said, God hath "judged 
 me, and hath also heard my voice, and 
 hath given me a son : therefore called she 
 his name ||Dan. 
 
 7 And Bilhah, Rachel's maid, conceived 
 again, and bore Jacob a second son. 
 
 8 And Rachel said, With tgreat wrest- 
 lings have I wrestled with my sister, and 
 I have prevailed : and she called his name 
 PNaphtali.

 Children bom to Jacob. 
 
 ing, she took Zilpah, her maid, and 'gave 
 her 3 to Jacob for a wife. 
 
 10 And Zilpah, Leah's maid, bore Jacob 
 a son. 
 
 11 And Leah said, A troop cometh: and 
 she called his name ||Gad. 
 
 12 And Zilpah, Leah's maid, bore Jacob 
 a second son. 
 
 13 And Leah said, tHappy am I, for the 
 daughters m will call me blessed : and she 
 called his name || Asher. 
 
 14 1 And Reuben went in the days of 
 wheat-harvest, and found mandrakes in 
 the field, and brought them to his mother 
 Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, "Give 
 me, I pray thee, ' some' of thy son's man- 
 drakes. 
 
 15 And she said to her, "Is it a small 
 matter that thou hast taken my husband ? 
 and wouldest thou take away my son's 
 mandrakes also? And Rachel said, There- 
 fore he shall lie with thee to-night for thy 
 son's mandrakes. 
 
 16 And Jacob came from the field in 
 the evening, and Leah went out to meet 
 him, and said, Thou must come in to me ; 
 for surely I have hired thee with my son's 
 mandrakes. And he lay with her that 
 night. 
 
 17 And God hearkened to Leah, and she 
 conceived, and bore Jacob the fifth son. 
 
 18 And Leah said, God hath given me 
 my hire, because I have given my maiden 
 to my husband : and she called his name 
 || Issachar. 
 
 19 And Leah conceived again, and bore 
 Jacob the sixth son. 
 
 20 And Leah said, God hath endowed 
 me with a good dowry ; now. will my hus- 
 band dwell with me, because I have borne 
 him six sons: and she called his name 
 pZebulun. 
 
 21 And afterwards she bore a daughter, 
 and called her name ||Dinah. 
 
 22 If And God 'remembered Rachel, and 
 God hearkened to her, and r4 made her 
 fruitful. 
 
 23 And she conceived, and bore a son ; 
 and said, God hath taken away *my re- 
 proach : 
 
 24 And she called his name HJoseph ; and 
 said, 'Jehovah shall add to me another 
 son. 
 
 25 If And it came to pass, when Rachel 
 had borne Joseph, that Jacob said to La- 
 ban, "Send me away, that I may go to 
 •"mine own place, and to my country. 
 
 26 Give me my wives and my children,* 
 for whom I have served thee, and let me 
 go : for thou knowest my service which I 
 have done thee. 
 
 27 And Laban said to him, I pray thee, 
 if I have found favour in 5 thy sight, tarry: 
 for y I have learned by experience that Je- 
 hovah hath blessed me z for thy sake. 
 
 28 And he said, "Appoint me thy wages, 
 and I will give 6 them. 
 
 29 And he said to him, 'Thou knowest 
 how I have served thee, and how thy cat- 
 tle was with me. 
 
 30 For it was little which thou hadst be- 
 fore I came, and it is now tincreased to a 
 multitude; and Jehovah hath blessed thee 
 tsince my coming : and now, when shall 
 I 'provide for mine own 'household also? 
 
 31 And he said, What shall I give thee? 
 
Jacob becometh rich. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXI. 
 
 And Jacob said, Thou shalt not give me 
 any thing. If thou wilt do tins thing for 
 me, I will again feed and keep thy flock : 
 
 32 I will pass through all thy flock to- 
 day, removing from thence all the speck- 
 lea and spotted cattle, and all the "black 
 cattle among the sheep, and the spotted 
 and speckled among the goats: and d of 
 such snail be my hire. 
 
 33 So shall my "righteousness answer for 
 me tin time to come, when it shall come 
 for my hire before thy face : every one that 
 is not speckled and spotted among the 
 goats, and 9 black among the sheep, that 
 shall be counted stolen '°by me. 
 
 34 And Laban said, Behold, I would 
 1 that' it might be according to thy word. 
 
 35 And he removed that day the he-goats 
 that were ring -streaked and spotted, and 
 all the she-goats that were speckled and 
 spotted, and every one that had some white 
 in it, and all the "black among the sheep, 
 and gave them into the hands of his sons. 
 
 36 And he set three days' journey betwixt 
 himself and Jacob : and Jacob fed the rest 
 of Laban's flocks. 
 
 37 If And f Jacob took him rods of green 
 poplar, and of the 12 almond-tree and 
 | 3 plane-tree; and "peeled white streaks 
 in them, and made the white appear 
 which ivas in the rods. 
 
 38 And he set the rods which he had 
 | 5 peeled before the flocks in the gutters 
 in the watering-troughs when the flocks 
 came to drink ; that they should conceive 
 when they came to drink. 
 
 39 And the flocks conceived before the 
 rods, and brought forth cattle ring-streak- 
 ed, speckled, and spotted. 
 
 40 And Jacob separated the lambs, 
 and set the faces of the flocks towards the 
 ring-streaked, and all the 16 black in the 
 flock of Laban : and he put his own flocks 
 by themselves, and put them not to La- 
 ban's cattle. 
 
 41 And it came to pass whenever the 
 stronger cattle did conceive, that Jacob 
 laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle 
 in the gutters, that they might conceive 
 among the rods. 
 
 42 But when the cattle were feeble, he 
 
 Eut them not in : so the feebler were La- 
 an's, and the stronger Jacob's. 
 
 43 And the man ^increased exceedingly, 
 and "had "many cattle, and maid-servants, 
 and men-servants, and camels, and asses. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXI.

 AND he heard the words of Laban's 
 sons, saying, Jacob hath taken away 
 all that was our father's ; and of that which 
 was our father's hath he gotten all this 
 "glory. 
 
 2 And Jacob beheld *the countenance of 
 Laban, and behold, it was not towards 
 him tas before. 
 
 3 And Jehovah said to Jacob, ''Return to 
 the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred ; 
 and I will be with thee.

 Jacob fleeth from Laban. 
 
 5 And said to them, e I see your father's 
 countenance, that it is not towards me as 
 before : but the God of my father s hath 
 been with me. 
 
 6 And s ye know that with all my power 
 I have served your father. 
 
 7 And your father hath deceived me, and 
 ^changed my wages 'ten times: but God 
 *suffered him not to hurt me. 
 
 8 If he said thus, 'The speckled shall be 
 thy wages ; then all the cattle bore speck- 
 led : and if he said thus, The ring-streaked 
 shall be thy hire; then 'all the cattle bore 
 ring-streaked. 
 
 9 Thus God hath m taken away the cattle 
 of your father, and given them to me. 
 
 10 And it came to pass at the time that 
 the cattle conceived, that I lifted up mine 
 eyes, and saw in a dream, and behold, the 
 
 rams which leaped upon the cattle tvere 
 ring-streaked, speckled, and grizzled. 
 
 11 And "the angel of God spoke to me in 
 a dream, saying, Jacob : and I said, Here 
 am I. 
 
 12 And he said, Lift up now thine eyes 
 and see, all the rams which leap upon the 
 cattle are ring-streaked, speckled, and 
 grizzled : for °I have seen all that Laban 
 doeth to thee. 
 
 13 I am the God of Beth-el, 'where thou 
 anointedst the pillar, and where thou vow- 
 edst a vow to me : now 'arise, get thee out 
 from this land, and return to the land of 
 thy kindred. 
 
 14 And Rachel and Leah answered, and 
 said to him, r Is there yet any portion or 
 inheritance for us in our father's house ? 
 
 15 Are we not counted 2 by him strangers ? 
 for 'he hath sold us, and hath quite devour- 
 ed also our money. 
 
 16 For all the riches which God hath 
 taken from our father, 3 they are ours, and 
 our children's: now then, whatever God 
 hath said to thee, do. 
 
 17 U Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons 
 and his wives upon camels ; ' 
 
 18 And he 4 droye away all his cattle, and 
 all his goods which he had gotten, the cat- 
 tle of his getting, which he had gotten in 
 Padan-aram.; 5 to go to Isaac his father in 
 the land of Canaan. 
 
 19 And Laban went to shear his sheep : 
 and Rachel had stolen the f images that 
 were her father's. 
 
 20 And Jacob stole away 6 twithout the 
 knowledge of Laban the Syrian, in that 
 he told him not that he 'would flee. 
 
 21 So he fled with all that he had ; and 
 he rose up, and passed over the river, and 
 "set his face towards the mount Gilead. 
 
 And it was told Laban on the third 
 day, that Jacob had fled. 
 
 23 And he took I his brethren with him, 
 and pursued after him seven days' jour- 
 ney : and they overtook him in the mount 
 Gilead. 
 
 24 And God "came to Laban the Syrian 
 in a dream by night, and said to him, Take 
 heed that thou z speak not to Jacob teither 
 good or bad. 
 
 25 f Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now 
 Jacob had pitched his tent in the mount : 
 and Laban with his brethren pitched in 
 the mount of Gilead. 
 
 26 And Laban said to Jacob, What hast 
 thou done, that thou hast stolen away 
 
 23 
 
Jacob's complaint of Laban. 
 
 "without my knowledge, and "carried 
 away my daughters, 'like captives taken 
 with the sword? 
 
 27 Wherefore didst thou flee away se- 
 cretly, and tsteal away from me, and didst 
 not tell me, that I might have sent thee 
 away with mirth, and with songs, with 
 "tabret, and with harp ? 
 
 28 And hast not suffered me 'to kiss my 
 sons, and my daughters ? 'thou hast now 
 done foolishly in so doing. 
 
 29 It is in the power of my hand to do 
 you hurt: but the d God ot your father 
 spoke to me '"last night, saying, Take 
 thou heed that thou speak not to Jacob 
 either good or bad. 
 
 30 And now, though thou wouldest u by 
 all means go, because thou 13 greatly long 
 edst after thy father's house ; yet where 
 fore hast thou ^stolen my 14 gods ? 
 
 31 And Jacob answered and said to 
 Laban, Because I was afraid : for I said, 
 I5 Perhaps thou wouldest take by force thy 
 daughters from me. 
 
 32 With whomsoever thou findest thy 
 gods, 4et him not live: before our bre- 
 thren discern thou what is thine with me, 
 and take it to thee : for Jacob knew not 
 that Rachel had stolen them. 
 
 33 And Laban went into Jacob's tent, 
 and into Leah's tent, and into the two 
 maid-servants' tents ; but he found them 
 not. Then went he out of Leah's tent, 
 and entered into Rachel's tent. 
 
 34 Now Rachel had taken the images, 
 and put them in the camel's 16 saddle, and 
 sat upon them. And Laban tsearched all 
 the tent, but found them not. 
 
 35 And she said to her father, Let it not 
 displease my lord that I cannot "rise up 
 before thee ; for the custom of women is 
 upon me. And he searched, but found 
 not the images. 
 
 36 If And Jacob was "angry, and ^con- 
 tended with Laban : and Jacob answered, 
 and said to Laban, What is my trespass ? 
 what is my sin, that thou hast so hotly 
 pursued after me ? 
 
 37 l9 Though thou hast searched all my 
 stuff, what hast thou found of all thy 
 household-stuff? set it here before my 
 brethren, and thy brethren, that they may 
 judge between us both. 
 
 38 20 These twenty years have I been with 
 thee ; thy ewes and thy she -goats have not 
 cast their young, and the rams of thy flock 
 have I not eaten. 
 
 39 That which was torn 2l by beast,s, I 
 brought not to thee ; I bore the loss of it ; 
 of k my hand didst thou require it, whether 
 stolen by day, or stolen by night. 
 
 40 Thus I was; in the day the ^heat 
 consumed me, and the ^cold by night; 
 and my sleep departed from mine eyes. 
 
 41 Thus have I been twenty years in 
 thy house: I'served thee fourteen years 
 for thy two daughters, and six years for 
 thy cattle : and m thou hast changed my 
 wages ten times. 
 
 42 "Except the God of my father, the 
 God of Abraham, and "the Fear of Isaac 
 had been **for me, surely thou "wouldest 
 have sent me away now empty. 'God hath 
 seen mine affliction, and the labour of my 
 hands, and 'rebuked thee 26 last night.

 The covenant between them. 
 
 Jacob, These daughters are my daughters, 
 and these children are my children, and 
 these cattle are my cattle, and all that thou 
 seest is mine; and what can I do this 
 day to these my daughters, or to their 
 children which they have borne ? 
 
 44 Now therefore come thou, iet us make 
 a covenant, I and thou ; 'and let it be for 
 a witness between me and thee. 
 
 45 And Jacob took a stone, and set it 
 up for a pillar. 
 
 46 And Jacob said to his brethren, Gather 
 stones ; and they took stones, and made a 
 heap : and they did eat there upon the heap. 
 
 47 And Laban called it HJegar-sahadu- 
 tha : but Jacob called it ||Galeed : 
 
 48 And Laban said, "This heap is a 
 witness between me and thee this day. 
 Therefore was the name of it called Ga- 
 Ieed: 
 
 49 And *[|Mizpah; for he said, Jehovah 
 watch between me and thee, when we are 
 absent one from another. 
 
 50 If thou shalt afflict my daughters, or 
 if thou shalt take other wives besides my 
 daughters ; no man is with us ; see, God 
 is witness between me and thee. 
 
 51 And Laban said to Jacob, Behold 
 this heap, and behold this pillar, which I 
 have cast between me and thee ; 
 
 52 This heap be witness, and this pillar 
 be witness, that I will not pass over this 
 heap to thee, and that thou shalt not pass 
 over this heap and this pillar to me, for 
 harm. 
 
 53 The God of Abraham, and the God 
 of Nahor, the God of their father, "judge 
 between us. And Jacob *swore by "the 
 Fear of his father Isaac. 
 
 54 Then Jacob ||offered sacrifice upon 
 the mount, and called his brethren to eat 
 27 food : and they did eat ^food, and tarried 
 all night in the mount. 
 
 55 And early in the morning Laban rose 
 up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, 
 and 'blessed them : and Laban departed, 
 and 'returned to his place.

 'the tcountry of Edom. 
 
 4 And he commanded them, saying, 
 'Thus shall ye speak to my lord Esau ; 
 Thy servant Jacob saith thus, I have so- 
 journed with Laban, and stayed there un- 
 til now: 
 
 5 And / I have oxen, and asses, flocks, 
 and men-servants, and women-servants: 
 and I have sent to tell my lord, that g I 
 may find 'favour in thy sight. 
 
 6 If And the messengers returned to Ja- 
 cob, saying, We came to thy brother Esau, 
 and also A he cometh to meet thee, and four 
 hundred men with him. 
 
 7 Then Jacob was greatly afraid, and 
 •distressed: and he divided the people 
 
Jacob's message to Esau. 
 
 3 who were with him, and the flocks, and 
 herds, and the camels into two bands ; 
 
 8 And said, If Esau should come to the 
 one company, and smite it. then the other 
 company which is left shall escape. 
 
 9 t*And Jacob said, '0 God of my father 
 Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, 
 Jehovah "who saidst to me, Return to 
 thy country, and to thy kindred, and I 
 will deal well with thee : 
 
 10 tl am not worthy of the least of all 
 the "mercies, and of all the 4 faithfulness, 
 which thou hast shewed to thy servant : 
 for with "my staff I passed over this Jor- 
 dan, and now I am become two bands. 
 
 11 ^Deliver me, I pray thee, from the 
 hand of my brother, from the hand or 
 Esau : for I fear him, lest he will come 
 and smite me, and 'the mother twith the 
 children. 
 
 12 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. 
 
 13 If And he lodged there that same night, 
 and took of that which 5 he owned 'a pre- 
 sent for Esau his brother ; 
 
 14 Two hundred she-goats and twenty 
 he-goats, two hundred ewes and twenty 
 rams, 
 
 15 Thirty milch camels with their colts, 
 forty cows and ten bulls, twenty she- 
 asses and ten foals. 
 
 16 And he delivered them into the hand 
 of his servants, 6 each drove by 7 itself ; and 
 said to his servants, Pass over before me, 
 and put a space between drove and drove. 
 
 17 And he commanded the foremost, 
 saying, When Esau my brother meeteth 
 thee, and asketh thee, saying, Whose art 
 thou ? and whither goest thou ? and whose 
 are these before thee ? 
 
 18 Then thou shalt say, They s are thy 
 servant Jacob's : it is a present sent to my 
 lord Esau : and behold also he is behind us. 
 
 19 And so he commanded the second, 
 and the third, and all that followed the 
 droves, saying, 9 In this manner shall ye 
 speak to Esau, when ye find him. 
 
 20 And say ye moreover, Behold, thy 
 servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, 
 I will 'appease him with the present that 
 
 foeth before me, and afterward I will see 
 is face; '"perhaps he will accept tof me. 
 
 21 So "the present went over before 
 him; ^but he lodged that night in the 
 company. 
 
 22 And he rose up that night, and took 
 his two wives, and his two women-ser- 
 vants, and his eleven sons "and passed 
 over the ford Jabbok. 
 
 23 And he took them, and tsent them 
 over the brook, and sent over that 'which' 
 he had. 
 
 24 If And Jacob was left alone ; and there 
 "wrestled a man with him, until the tbreak- 
 ing of the day. 
 
 25 And when he saw that he prevailed 
 not against him, he touched the hollow of 
 his thigh : and "the hollow of Jacob's thigh 
 was out of joint, as he wrestled with him. 
 
 26 And "he said, Let me go, for the day 
 breaketh : and he said, a I will not let thee 
 go, except thou bless me. 
 
 27 And he said to him, What is thy 
 name ? And he said, Jacob.

 28 And he said, 'Thy name shall be call-

 "Wherefore is it that thou enquirest after

 not of the sinew which shrunk, which is

 CHAPTER XXXIII. 
 
 1 The kindness of Jacob and Esau at their meeting. 
 17 Jacob cometh to Succoth. 18 At Shalem he 
 buyeth a field, and buildeth an altar called El- 
 elohe-Israel. 
 
 AND Jacob lifted up his eyes, and look- 
 ed, and behold, °Esau came, and with 
 him four hundred men. And he divided 
 the children to Leah, and to Rachel, and 
 to the two handmaids. 
 
 2 And he put the handmaids and their 
 children foremost, and Leah and her 
 children after, and Rachel and Joseph 
 hindermost. 
 
 3 And hepassed 'onbefore them, and ''bow- 
 ed himself to the ground seven times, until 
 he came near to his brother. 
 
 4 'And Esau ran to meet him, and em- 
 braced him, d and fell on his neck, and 
 kissed him : and they wept. 
 
 5 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the 
 women and the children, and said, Who 
 are those twith thee ? And he said, The 
 children 'which God hath graciously given 
 thy servant. 
 
 6 Then the handmaidens came near, they 
 and their children, and they bowed them- 
 selves. 
 
 7 And Leah also with her children came 
 near, and bowed themselves ; and after 
 came Joseph near and Rachel, and they 
 bowed themselves. 
 
 8 And he said, tWhat meanest thou by 
 'all this drove which I met ? And he said, 
 
 These are ff to find z favour in the sight of 
 my lord. 
 
 9 And Esau said, I have enough, my 
 brother ; tkeep that ' which' thou nast to 
 thyself. 
 
 10 And Jacob said, Nay, I pray thee, if 
 now I have found 'favour in thy sight, 
 then receive my present 4 from my hand : 
 6 because I "have seen thy face, as though 
 I had seen the face of God, and thou wast 
 pleased with me. 
 
 11 Take, I pray thee, *'my blessing that 
 is brought to thee ; because God hath 
 dealt 6 kindly with me, and because I 
 have tenough : *and he urged him, and he 
 took it. 
 
 12 And he said, Let us take our journey, 
 and let us go, and I will go before thee. 
 
 13 And he said to him, My lord knoweth 
 that the children are tender, and the flocks 
 and herds T suckling their young are with 
 me, and if men should over-drive them 
 one day, all ihe flock 'would die. 
 
 25 
 
The Shechemites circumcised, 
 
 14 Let my lord, I pray thee, pass 9 on 
 before his servant: and I will lead on 
 softly, according tas the cattle that goeth 
 before me and the children ' may' be able 
 to endure; until I come to my lord 'to 
 Seir. 
 
 15 And Esau said, Let me now tleave 
 with thee some of the '"people that are 
 with me : And he said, f'Why so ? m Let 
 me find "favour in the sight of my lord. 
 
 16 *|f So Esau returned that day on his 
 way to Seir. 
 
 1" And Jacob journeyed to "Succoth, and 
 built him a house, ana made booths for his 
 cattle : therefore the name of the place is 
 called HSuccoth. 
 
 18 ^f And Jacob came to "Shalem, a city 
 of || p Shechem, which is in the land of 
 Canaan, when he came from Padan-aram ; 
 and pitched his tent before the city. 
 
 19 And 'he bought a "portion of a field, 
 where he had spread his tent, '"from the 
 hand of the children of ||Hamor, Shechem's 
 father, for a hundred "pieces of money. 
 
 20 And he erected there an altar, and 
 'called it ||El-elohe-Israel. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXIV. 
 
 1 Dinah is ^humbled by Shechem. i He sueth to marry 
 her. 13 The sons of Jacob offer the condition of 
 circumcision to the Shechemites. 20 Hamor and 
 Shechem persuade them to accept it. 25 The sons 
 of Jacob, upon that advantage, slay them, 27 and 
 spoil their city. 30 Jacob reproueth Simeon and 
 Levi. 
 
 AND "Dinah the daughter of Leah, 
 whom she bore to Jacob, 'went out to 
 see the daughters of the land. 
 
 2 And when Shechem the son of Hamor 
 the Hivite, prince of the country, c saw her, 
 he d took her, and lay with her, and 2 humbled 
 her. 
 
 3 And his soul 3 cleaved to Dinah the 
 daughter of Jacob, and he loved the dam- 
 sel, and spoke t kindly to the damsel. 
 
 4 And Shechem 'spoke to his father Ha- 
 mor, saying, 5 Get me this damsel 6 for a 
 wife. 
 
 5 And Jacob heard that he had defiled 
 Dinah his daughter : now his sons were 
 with his cattle in the field: and Jacob 
 'held Ms peace until they were come. 
 
 6 If Ancf Hamor the father of Shechem 
 went out to Jacob to 'talk with him. 
 
 7 And the sons of Jacob came out of the 
 field when they heard it: and the men 
 were grieved, and they ? were very 8 angry, 
 because he *had wrought folly 9 against 
 Israel, in lying with Jacob's daughter; 
 •which thing ought not to be done. 
 
 8 And Hamor '"talked with them, saying, 
 The soul of my son Shechem longetn for 
 your daughter: I pray you give her 'to' 
 him "for a wife. 
 
 9 And make ye marriages with us, and 
 give your daughters to us, and take our 
 daughters to you. 
 
 10 And ye shall dwell with us : and Hhe 
 land shall be before you ; dwell and 
 'trade ye therein, and "get you posses- 
 sions therein. 
 
 11 And Shechem said to her father, and 
 to her brethren, Let me find "favour in 
 your "sight, and what ye shall say to me, 
 1 will give. 
 
 12 Ask me "ever so much "dowry and 
 gift, and I will give according as ye shall

 13 And the sons of Jacob answered She- 
 chem and Hamor his father "deceitfully, 
 and said, Because he had defiled Dinah 
 their sister : 
 
 14 And they said to them, We cannot 
 do this thing, to give our sister to one that 
 is uncircumcised : for *that "would be a 
 reproach to us : 
 
 15 But in this will we consent to you : 
 If ye will be as we "are, that every male 
 of you be circumcised ; 
 
 16 Then will we give our daughters to 
 you, and we will take your daughters to 
 us, and we will dwell with you, and we 
 will become one people. 
 
 17 But if ye will not hearken to us, to 
 be circumcised; then will we take our 
 daughter, and we will be gone. 
 
 18 And their words pleased Hamor, and 
 Shechem, Hamor's son. 
 
 19 And the young man deferred not to 
 do the thing, because he had delight in 
 Jacob's daughter : and he was 'more ho- 
 nourable than all the house of his father. 
 
 20 ^ And Hamor and Shechem his son 
 came to the gate of their city, and "talked 
 with the men of their city, saying, 
 
 21 These men are peaceable with us, 
 therefore let them dwell in the land, and 
 trade therein : for the land, behold, it is 
 large enough for them : let us take their 
 daughters to us for wives, and let us give 
 them our daughters. 
 
 22 Only herein will the men consent to 
 us " to dwell with us, to be one people, if 
 every male among us be circumcised, as 
 they are circumcised. 
 
 23 Will not their cattle, and their sub- 
 stance, and every beast of theirs be ours ? 
 only let us consent to them, and they will 
 dwell witli us. 
 
 24 And to Hamor, and to Shechem his 
 son, hearkened all that 'went out of the 
 gate of his city: and every male was cir- 
 cumcised, all that went out of the gate of 
 his city. 
 
 25 If And it came to pass on the third 
 day, when they were sore, that two of the 
 sons of Jacob, 'Simeon and Levi, Dinah's 
 brethren, took each man his sword, and 
 came upon the city boldly, and slew all 
 the males. 
 
 26 And they slew Hamor and Shechem 
 his son with the tedge of the sword, and 
 took Dinah out of Shechem's house, and 
 went out. 
 
 27 The sons of Jacob came upon the 
 slain, and spoiled the city; because they 
 had defiled their sister. 
 
 28 They took their sheep, and their oxen, 
 and their asses, and that which urns in 
 the city, and that which was in the field. 
 
 29 And all their wealth,- and all then- 
 little ones, and their wives they took cap- 
 tives, and spoiled even all that was in the 
 house. 
 
 30 And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, 
 'Ye have "troubled me l2 "by making me 
 hateful among the inhabitants of the land, 
 among the Canaanites, and the Perizzites : 
 "and I being few in number, they 21 will 
 gather themselves together against me, 
 and slay me, and I shall be destroyed, I 
 and my ^household.

 Jacob buildeth an altar at Bethel. ■ CHAPTERS XXXV

 CHAPTER XXXV. 
 
 1 God sendeth Jacob to Beth-el. 2 He ^cleanseth his 
 house 2 from idols. 6 He buildeth an altar at Beth-el. 
 8 Deborah dieth at Allon-bachuth. 9 God blesseth 
 Jacob at Beth-el. 16 Rachel travaileth of Benja- 
 min, and dieth in the way to Edar. 22 Reuben 
 lieth with Bilhah. 23 The sons of Jacob. 27 Ja- 
 cob cometh to Isaac at Hebron. 28 The age, death, 
 and burial of Isaac. 
 
 AND God said to Jacob, Arise, go up 
 to a Beth-el, and dwell there: and 
 make there an altar to God, 'who appeared 
 to thee c when thou fleddest from the face 
 of Esau thy brother. 
 
 2 Then Jacob said to his ^household, and 
 to all that were with him, Put away 'the 
 3 strange gods that are among you, and -^be 
 clean and change your garments : 
 
 3 And let us arise, and go up to Beth-el; 
 and I will make there an altar to God, 
 e who answered me in the day of my dis- 
 tress, "and was with me in the way which 
 I went. 
 
 4 And they gave to Jacob all the strange 
 gods which were in their hand, and all 
 their 'ear-rings which were in their ears ; 
 and Jacob 4 buried them under Hhe oak 
 which was by Shechem. 
 
 5 And they journeyed: and ! the terror 
 of God was upon the cities that were round 
 about them, and they did not pursue after 
 the sons of Jacob. 
 
 6 If So Jacob came to m Luz, which is in 
 the land of Canaan (that is Beth-el) he 
 and all the people that were with him. 
 
 7 And he "built there an altar, and call- 
 ed the place ||El-beth-el ; because "there 
 God appeared to him, when he fled from 
 the face of his brother. 
 
 8 BufDeborah, Rebekah's nurse, died, 
 and she was buried, beneath Beth-el, un- 
 der an oak: and the name of it was called 
 llAllon-bachuth. 
 
 9 If And ? God appeared to Jacob again 
 when he 5 had come from Padan-aram ; and 
 blessed him. 
 
 10 And God said to him, Thy name is

 more Jacob, 'but Israel shall be thy name ;

 11 And God said to him, 'I am God Al- 
 mighty: be fruitful and multiply; "a na- 
 tion and a company of nations shall be of 
 thee, and kings shall come 6 from thy loins. 
 
 12 And the land "which I gave Abraham 
 and Isaac, to thee I will give it, and to thy 
 seed after thee will I give the land. 
 
 13 And God *went up from him, in the 
 place where he talked with him. 
 
 14 And Jacob "set up a pillar in the place 
 where he talked with him, even a pillar of 
 stone: and he poured a drink-offering 
 thereon, and he poured oil thereon.

 place where God liad spoken with him, 
 'Beth-el.

 CHAPTER XXXVII. 
 
 2 Joseph is hated '6j/ his brethren. 5 His two dreams. 
 1 3 Jacob sendeth him to visit his brethren. 1 8 His 
 brethren conspire his death. 21 Reuben saveth 
 him. 26 They sell him to the Ishmaelites. 31 His 
 father, deceived by the bloody coat, mourneth for 
 him. 36 He is sold to Potiphar in Egypt. 
 
 AND Jacob dwelt in the land t°in which 
 his father was a stranger, in the land 
 of Canaan. 
 
 2 2 This is the history of Jacob : Joseph 
 being seventeen years old, was feeding the 
 flock with his brethren, and the lad ivas 
 with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons 
 of Zilpah, his father's wives : and Joseph 
 brought to 3 their father 'their evil re- 
 port. 
 
 3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all 
 his children, because he was the son of 
 his old age : and he made him a *long 
 robe. 
 
 4 And when his brethren saw that their 
 father loved him more than all his bre- 
 thren, they d hated him, and could not 
 speak peaceably to him. 
 
 5 ^ And Joseph dreamed a dream, and 
 he told it ' to' his brethren : and they hated 
 him yet the more. 
 
 6 And he said to them, Hear, I pray you, 
 this dream which I have dreamed : 
 
 7 For 'behold, we were binding sheaves 
 in the field, and lo, my sheaf arose, and 
 also stood upright; and behold, your 
 sheaves stood round about, and made 
 obeisance to my sheaf. 
 
 8 And his brethren said to him, Shalt 
 thou indeed reign over us ? or shalt thou 
 indeed have dominion over us ? And they 
 hated him yet the more for his dreams and 
 for his words. 
 
 9 1f And he dreamed yet another dream, 
 and told it 'to' his brethren, and said, Be- 
 hold, I have dreamed a dream more : and 
 
Joseph is sold to the Ishmaelites. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXVIII. 
 
 His father moumethfor him. 
 
 behold, 'the sun and the moon and 4 eleven 
 stars made obeisance to me. 
 
 10 And he told it to his father, and to his 
 brethren : and his father rebuked him, and 
 said to him, What is this dream that thou 
 hast dreamed ? Shall I and thy mother and 
 f thy brethren indeed come to bow down 
 ourselves to thee to the earth ? 
 
 11 And "his brethren envied him; but 
 his father 'observed the saying. 
 
 12 If And his brethren went to feed their 
 father's flock in Shechem. 
 
 13 And Israel said to Joseph, Do not thy 
 brethren feed the flock in Shechem ? Come, 
 and I will send thee fo them. And he said 
 to him, Here am I. 
 
 14 And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, 
 tsee whether it be well with thy brethren, 
 and well with the flocks; ana bring me 
 word again. So he sent him out of the 
 vale of *Hebron, and he came to Shechem. 
 
 15 If And a certain man found him, and 
 behold, he was wandering in the field: 
 and the man asked him, saying, What 
 seekest thou ? 
 
 16 And he said, I seek my brethren:' 
 'tell me, I pray thee, where they feed 
 their flocks. 
 
 17 And the man said, They are departed 
 hence : for I heard them say, Let us go to 
 Dothan. And Joseph went after Ms bre- 
 thren, and found them in '"Dothan. 
 
 18 And when they saw him afar off, even 
 before he came near to them, "they con- 
 spired against him to slay him. 
 
 19 And they said one to another, Behold 
 this tdreamer cometh. 
 
 20 "Come now therefore, and let us slay 
 him, and cast him into some pit ; and we 
 will say, Some 5 evil beast hath devoured 
 him ; and we shall see what will become 
 of his dreams. 
 
 21 And ? Reuben heard it, and he deli- 
 vered Mm out of their hands; and said, 
 Let us not kill Mm. 
 
 22 And Reuben said to them, Shed no 
 blood, but cast Mm into this pit that is in 
 the "waste region, and lay no hand upon 
 him ; that he might rid him out of their 
 hands, to deliver nim to his father again. 
 
 23 ^f And it came to pass when Joseph 
 was come to his brethren, that they stnpt 
 Joseph out of Ms robe, his long robe that 
 was on him. 
 
 24 And they took Mm, and cast Mm into 
 a pit : and the pit was empty, there was no 
 water in it. 
 
 25 'And they sat down to eat 7 food : and 
 they lifted up their eyes and looked, and 
 behold, a company of ^Ishmaelites came 
 from Gilead, with their camels bearing 
 spicery, and 'balm, and myrrh, going to 
 carry it down to Egypt. 
 
 26 And Judah said to his brethren, What 
 profit is it if we slay our brother, and 'con- 
 ceal his blood ? 
 
 27 Come, and let us sell him to the Ish- 
 maelites, and "let not our hand be upon 
 him; for he is *our brother, and "our flesh: 
 and his brethren twere content. 
 
 28 Then there passed by *Midianites, 
 merchant-men ; and they drew and lifted 
 up Joseph out of the pit, 'and sold Joseph 
 to the Ishmaelites for 'twenty ^shekels of 
 silver : and they brought Joseph into Egypt. 
 
 29 ^ And Reuben returned to the pit;

 certain Canaanite, whose name was e Shu- 
 ah ; and he took her, and went in to her. 
 
 3 And she conceived, and bore a son; 
 and he called his name ''Er. 
 
 4 And she conceived again, and bore a 
 son ; and she called his name e Onan. 
 
 5 And she yet again conceived and bore 
 a son ; and called his name 'Shelah : and 
 he was at Chezib, when she bore hint. 
 
 6 And Judah ? took a wife for Er his first- 
 born, whose name was Tamar. 
 
 7 And ft Er, Judah's first-born, was wicked 
 in the sight of Jehovah; 'and Jehovah 
 slew him. 
 
 8 And Judah said to Onan, Go in to *thy 
 brother's wife, and marry her, and raise 
 up 'children for thy brother. 
 
 9 And Onan knew that the 2 cMldren would 
 not be 'his : and it came to pass, when he 
 went in to his brother's wife, that he pol- 
 luted himself, lest that he should give 
 4 children to his brother. 
 
 10 And the thing which he did tdispleased 
 Jehovah : wherefore he slew m him also. 
 
 11 Then said Judah to Tamar his daugh- 
 ter-in-law, "Remain a widow at thy father's 
 house, till Shelah my son be grown ; (for 
 he said, Lest 'perhaps he die also as his 
 brethren did:) and Tamar went and dwelt 
 "in her father's house. 
 
 12 ^ And tin process of time, the daugh- 
 ter of Shuah, Judah's wife died : and Ju- 
 dah p was comforted, and went up to his 
 sheep-shearers to Timnath, he and Ms 
 friend Hirah the Adullamite. 
 
 13 And it was told Tamar, saying, Be- 
 hold, thy father-in-law goeth up 'to Tim- 
 nath, to shear Ms sheep. 
 
 14 And she put her widow's garments 
 off from her, and covered herself with a 
 
 29 
 
Tamar deceiveth Judah. 
 
 vail, and wrapped herself, and 'sat m tan 
 open place, which is by the way to Tim- 
 nath : for she saw 'that Shelah was grown, 
 and she was not given to him 6 as a wife. 
 
 15 When Judah saw her, he thought her 
 to be a harlot; because she had covered 
 her face. 
 
 16 And lie turned to her by the way, and 
 said, 'Come, I pray thee, let me come in 
 to thee ; (for he knew not that she was his 
 daughter-in-law:) and she said, What wilt 
 thou give me, that thou mayest come in to 
 me? 
 
 17 And he said, "I will send thee, ta kid 
 from the flock : and she said, ""Wilt thou 
 give me a pledge, till thou send it? 
 
 18 And he said, What pledge shall I give 
 thee? and she said, x Thy "seal, and thy 
 seal -string, and thy staff that is in thy 
 hand : and he gave them to her, and she 
 conceived by him. 
 
 19 And she arose and went away and 
 'laid by her vail from her, and put on the 
 garments of her widowhood. 
 
 20 And Judah sent the kid by the hand 
 of his friend the Adullamite, to receive 
 his pledge from the woman's hand: but 
 he found her not. 
 
 21 Then he asked the men of that place, 
 saying, Where is the harlot that was 
 llopenly by the way-side? And they said, 
 There was no harlot in this place. 
 
 22 And he returned to Judah, and said, 
 I cannot -find her; and also the men of the 
 place said, tliat there was no harlot in this 
 place. 
 
 23 And Judah said, Let her take it to 
 her, lest we tbe shamed: behold, I sent 
 this kid, and thou hast not found her. 
 
 24 f And it came to pass about three 
 months after, that it was told Judah, say- 
 ing, Tamar thy daughter-in-law hath flay- 
 ed the harlot; and also, behold, she 9 hath 
 conceived by lewdness. And Judah said, 
 Bring her forth, °and let her be burnt. 
 
 25 When she was brought forth, she sent 
 to her father-in-law, saying, By the man 
 whose these are, w have I conceived: and she 
 said, 'Discern, I pray thee, whose are these, 
 e the "seal and the seal-string, and staff. 
 
 26 And Judah ^acknowledged, n and said, 
 'She hath been more righteous than I ; be- 
 cause that ^1 gave her not to Shelah my 
 son : and he knew her again ff no more. 
 
 27 If And it came to pass in the time of 
 her travail, that behold, 13 she had twins. 
 
 28 And it came to pass when she tra- 
 vailed, that the one put 14 forth his hand ; 
 and the midwife took and bound upon his 
 hand a I5 crimson thread, saying, This 16 was 
 born first. 
 
 29 And it came to pass as he drew back 
 his hand, that behold, his brother "was 
 born; and she said, ||How hast thou 
 broken forth? this breach be upon thee: 
 therefore his name was called || *Pharez. 
 
 30 And afterward ls his brother was born 
 that had the scarlet thread upon his hand ; 
 and his name was called Zarah.

 Joseph refuseth his mistress. 
 
 captain of the guard, an Egyptian, 'bought 
 him 'from the hands of the Ishmaelites, 
 who had brought him down thither. 
 
 2 And 'Jehovah was with Joseph, and he 
 was a prosperous man : and he was in the 
 house of his master the Egyptian. 
 
 3 And his master saw that Jehovah was 
 with him, and that Jehovah rf made all that 
 he did to prosper in his hand. 
 
 4 And Joseph 'found 2 favour in his sight, 
 and he served him: and he made him 
 ^overseer over his house, and all that he 
 had he put into his hand. 
 
 5 And it came to pass from the time that 
 he had made him overseer in his house, and 
 over all that he had, that ^Jehovah blessed 
 the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; 
 and the blessing of Jehovah was upon all 
 that he had in the house, and in the field. 
 
 6 And he left all that he had in Joseph's 
 hand; and he knew not 3 any thing he had, 
 Excepting the food which he did eat : and 
 Josepn *was a goodly person, and 5 of fair 
 appearance. 
 
 7 If And it came to pass after these things, 
 that his master's wire cast her eyes upon 
 Joseph : and she said, 'Lie with me. 
 
 8 But he refused, and said to his master's 
 wife, Behold, my master 6 knoweth not 
 what is with me in the house, and he hath 
 committed all that he hath to my hand ; 
 
 9 There is none greater in this house than 
 I; neither hath he kept back any thing 
 from me, but thee, because thou art his 
 wife : ft how then can I do this great wick- 
 edness, and 'sin against God ? 
 
 10 And it came to pass, as she spoke to 
 Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not 
 to her, to lie by her, or to be with her. 
 
 11 And it came to pass about this time, 
 that Joseph went into the house to do his 
 business ; and there were none of the men 
 of the house there within. 
 
 12 And m she caught him by his garment, 
 saying, Lie with me : and he left his gar- 
 ment in her hand, and fled, and 7 went out. 
 
 13 And it came to pass, when she saw 
 that he had left his garment in her hand, 
 and had fled forth, 
 
 14 That she called to the men of her 
 house, and spoke to them, saying, See, he 
 hath brought in a Hebrew to us to "insult 
 us : he came in to me to lie with me, and 
 I cried with a tloud voice : 
 
 15 And it came to pass, when he heard 
 that I lifted up my voice and cried, that 
 he left his garment 9 by me, and fled, and 
 '"went out. 
 
 16 And she laid up his garment by her, 
 until his lord came home. 
 
 17 And she "spoke to him according to 
 these words, saying, The Hebrew servant 
 whom thou hast brought to us, came in to 
 me to "insult me: 
 
 18 And it came to pass as I lifted up my 
 voice and cried, that he left his garment 
 12 by me, and fled out. 
 
 19 And it came to pass, when his master 
 heard the words of his wife, which she 
 spoke to him, saying, After this manner 
 did thy servant to me; that his "wrath was 
 kindled. 
 
 20 And Joseph's master took him, and 
 ''put him into the 'prison, a place where 
 the, king's prisoners were bound : and he 
 was Ihere in the prison. 
 
Joseph interpret eth the dreams 
 
 21 If But Jehovah was with Joseph, and 
 tshewed him mercy, and 'gave him favour 
 in the sight of the keeper of the prison. 
 
 22 And the keeper of the prison 'commit- 
 ted to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that 
 were in the prison; and whatever they 
 did there, was done by him. 
 
 23 The keeper of the prison looked not 
 to any tiling that was under his hand; be- 
 cause 'Jehovah was with him: and that 
 which he did, Jehovah made it to prosper. 
 
 CHAPTER XL. 
 
 1 The ^cup-bearer and baker of Pharaoh in prison 
 4 Joseph hath charge of them. 5 He interpreteth 
 their dreams. 20 They come to pass according to 
 his interpretation. 23 The ingratitude of the 2 cup- 
 bearer. 
 
 AND it came to pass after these things, 
 that the o3 cup-bearer of the king of 
 Egypt and his baker had offended their 
 lord the king of Egypt. 
 
 2 And Pharaoh was i4 angry against two 
 of his officers, against the chief of the Cup- 
 bearers, and against the chief of the bakers. 
 
 3 'And he put them in 6 custody in the 
 house of the captain of the guard, into the 
 prison, the place where Joseph was bound. 
 
 4 And the captain of the guard charged 
 Joseph with them, and he served them; 
 and they continued a season in 'custody. 
 
 5 If And they dreamed a dream both of 
 them, each man his dream in one night, 
 each man according to the interpretation 
 of his dream; the s cup-bearer and the 
 baker of the king of Egypt, who were 
 bound in the prison. 
 
 6 And Joseph came in to them in the 
 morning, and looked upon them, and be 
 hold, they were sad. 
 
 7 And he asked Pharaoh's officers that 
 were with him in the 9 custody of his lord's 
 house, saying, Wherefore flook ye so sadly 
 to-day? 
 
 8 And they said to him, rf We have dream 
 ed a dream, and there is no interpreter of 
 it. And Joseph said to them, 'Bo not in- 
 terpretations belong to God? Tell me 
 them, I pray you. 
 
 9 And the chief 10 cup-bearer told his 
 dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my 
 dream, behold, a vine was before me ; 
 
 10 And "on the vine were three branches 
 and it was as though it budded, and 12 its 
 blossoms shot forth; and the clusters 
 thereof brought forth ripe grapes : 
 
 11 And Pharaoh's cup was in my hand : 
 and I took the grapes, and pressed them 
 into Pharaoh's cup, and I gave the cup 
 into Pharaoh's hand. 
 
 12 And Joseph said to him, ^This is the 
 interpretation of it : The three branches 
 g are three days: 
 
 13 Yet withm three days shall Pharaoh 
 * II lift up thy head, and restore thee to thy 
 "station : and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh's 
 cup into his hand, after the former manner 
 when thou wast his 14 cup-beai«er. 
 
 14 But ; I5 remember me when it shall be 
 well with thee, and *shew kindness, I pray 
 thee, to me, and make mention of me to 
 Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house: 
 
 15 For indeed I was stolen away from 
 the land of the Hebrews: ! and here also 
 have I done nothing that they should put 
 me into the dungeon.

 interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, 
 I also was in my dream, and behold, I had 
 three 16 ||baskets 'of white bread' on my 
 head : 
 
 17 And in the uppermost basket there 
 v tvere all kinds of fbaked food for Pha- 
 raoh : and the birds did eat them out of 
 the basket upon my head. 
 
 18 And Joseph answered, and said, "'This 
 is the interpretation thereof: The three 
 baskets are three days : 
 
 19 "Yet within three days shall Pharaoh 
 lift up thy head from off thee, and shall 
 
 hang thee on a tree ; and the birds shall 
 eat thy flesh from off thee. 
 
 20 If And it came to pass the third day, 
 which was Pharaoh's "birth -day, that he 
 p made a feast to all his servants : and he 
 
 lifted up the head of the chief "cup- 
 bearer and of the chief baker among his 
 servants. 
 
 21 And he 'restored the chief 19 cup- 
 bearer to his 20 office again : and 'he gave 
 the cup into Pharaoh's hand : 
 
 22 But he 'hanged the chief baker, as 
 Joseph had interpreted to them. 
 
 23 Yet did not the chief 21 cup-bearer re- 
 member Joseph, but "forgot him. 
 
 CHAPTER XLI. 
 
 1 Pharaoh's two dreams. 25 Joseph interpreteth 
 them. 33 He giveth Pharaoh counsel. 38 Joseph 
 is advanced. 50 He begetteth Manasseh and 
 Ephraim. 54 The famine beginneth. 
 
 AND it came to pass at the end of two l 
 years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and be- 
 hold, he stood by the river. 
 
 2 And behold, there came up out of the 
 river seven 2 comely heifers and fat-fleshed ; 
 and they fed in a meadow. 
 
 3 And behold, seven other s heifers came 
 up after them out of the river, Uncomely 
 and lean-fleshed ; and stood by the other 
 5 heifers upon the brink of the river. 
 
 4 And the 6 uncomely and lean-fleshed 
 heifers did eat up the seven 'comely and 
 fat heifers. So Pharaoh awoke. 
 
 5 And he slept and dreamed the second 
 time: and behold, seven 8 ears of corn came 
 up upon one stalk, trank and good. 
 
 6 And behold, seven thin ears and blasted 
 with the east wind sprung up after them. 
 
 7 And the seven thin ears devoured the 
 seven rank and full ears. And Pharaoh 
 awoke, and behold, it was a dream. 
 
 8 And it came to pass in the morning, 
 "that his spirit was troubled ; and he sent 
 and called for all Hhe magicians of Egypt, 
 and all the c wise men thereof: and Pha- 
 raoh told them his dreams ; but there were 
 none that could interpret them to Pharaoh. 
 
 9 If Then spoke the chief 9 cup-bearer to 
 Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults 
 this day: 
 
 10 Pharaoh was dl0 angry with his servants, 
 'and put me in "custody in the captain of 
 the guard's house, both me, and the chief 
 baker : 
 
 11 And Ave dreamed a dream in one 
 night, I and he : we dreamed each man 
 according to the interpretation of his 
 dream. 
 
 12 And there was there with us a young 
 man, a Hebrew, ^servant to the captain of 
 the guard ; and we told him, and he *in- 
 terpreted to us our dreams; to each man 
 according to his dream he did interpret. 
 
 31 
 
Joseph interpreted Pharaoh's dreams. 
 
 13 And it came to pass, 'as he interpreted 
 to us, so it was : me he restored to ,2 my 
 station, and him he hanged. 
 
 14 1[ *Then Pharaoh sent and called Jo- 
 seph , and they 'tbrought him hastily m out 
 of the dungeon : and he shaved himself, 
 and changed his raiment, and came in to 
 Pharaoh. 
 
 15 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I have 
 dreamed a dream, and there are none that 
 can interpret it: "and I have heard 13 it said 
 of thee, that ||thou canst understand a 
 dream to interpret it. 
 
 16 And Joseph answered Pharaoh, say- 
 ing, "It is not "in me: p God may give 
 Pharaoh an answer of peace. 
 
 17 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, 'In my 
 dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of 
 the river : 
 
 18 And behold, there came up out of 
 the river seven 16 heifers, fat-fleshed, and 
 "comely ; and they fed in a meadow : 
 
 19 And behold, seven other 1S heifers 
 came up after them, poor, and very 19 un- 
 comely, and lean-fleshed, such as I never 
 saw in all the land of Egypt for badness : 
 
 20 And the lean and the 20 uncomely 
 "heifers did eat up the first seven fat 
 "heifers : 
 
 21 And when they had teaten them up, 
 it could not be known that they had eaten 
 them ; but they were still ^uncomely, as 
 at the beginning. So I awoke. 
 
 22 And I saw in my dream, and behold, 
 seven ears came up M on one stalk, full and 
 good : 
 
 23 And behold, seven ears, || withered, 
 thin, and blasted with the east wind, 
 sprung up after them : 
 
 24 And the thin ears devoured the seven 
 good ears: and r I told this to the magi- 
 cians ; but there were none that could ex- 
 plain it to me. 
 
 25 If And Joseph said to Pharaoh, The 
 dream of Pharaoh is one: 'God hath shew- 
 ed Pharaoh what he is about to do. 
 
 26 The seven good K heifers are seven 
 years ; and the seven good ears are seven 
 years : the dream is 26 one. 
 
 27 And the seven thin and ^uncomely 
 heifers that came up after them are seven 
 years ; and the seven empty ears blasted 
 with the east wind shall be 'seven years 
 of famine. 
 
 28 "This is the thing which I have spoken 
 to Pharaoh : what God is about to do he 
 sheweth to Pharaoh- 
 
 29 Behold, there come x seven years of 
 great plenty throughout all the land of 
 Egypt : 
 
 30 And there shall "arise after them seven 
 years of famine ; and all the plenty shall 
 be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the 
 famine r shall consume the land : 
 
 31 And the plenty shall not be known in 
 the land by reason of that famine follow- 
 ing : for it shall be very tgrievous. 
 
 32 And ^because the dream was doubled 
 to Pharaoh 29 ; it is because the "thing is 
 II established by God, and God will shortly 
 bring it to pass. 
 
 33 Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a 
 man discreet and wise, and set him over 
 the land of Egypt. 
 
 34 Let Pharaoh do this, and let him ap- 
 point Hofficers over the land, and 'take up

 35 And c let them gather all the food of 
 those good years that come, and lay up 
 corn under the hand of Pharaoh ; and let 
 them keep food in the cities. 
 
 36 And that food shall be for store to the 
 land against the seven years of famine, 
 which shall be in the land of Egypt ; that 
 the land || ''perish not through the famine. 
 
 37 If And "the thing was good in the "sight 
 of Pharaoh, and in the 31 sight of all his 
 servants. 
 
 38 And Pharaoh said to his servants, 
 Can we find such a one as this is, a man 
 / in whom the 32 spirit of God is ? 
 
 39 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, ^Because 
 that God hath shewed thee all this, there 
 is no one so discreet and wise as thou art : 
 
 40 ff Thou shalt be over my house, and 
 according to thy word shall all my people 
 
 tbe ^guided : only in the throne will I be 
 greater than thou. 
 
 41 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, See, I 
 have A set thee over all the land of Egypt. 
 
 42 And Pharaoh 'took off" his 35 seal-ring 
 from his hand, and put it upon Joseph's 
 hand, and ''arrayed him in "garments of 
 llfine linen, 'and put a gold chain about his 
 neck; 
 
 43 And he made him to ride in the second 
 chariot which he had : "and they cried be- 
 fore him, || tBow the knee : and he made 
 him rider "over all the land of Egypt. 
 
 44 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I am 
 Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man 
 lift up his hand or foot in all the land of 
 Egypt. 
 
 45 And Pharaoh called Joseph's name 
 39 Zaphnath-paaneah; and he gave him for a 
 wife Asenath the daughter of Poti-pherah 
 Hpriest of On : and Joseph went out over 
 all the land of Egypt. 
 
 46 If And Joseph was thirty years old 
 when he "stood before Pharaoh king of 
 Egypt: and Joseph went out from the 
 presence of Pharaoh, and went through- 
 out all the land of Egypt. 
 
 47 And in the seven plenteous years the 
 earth brought forth by liandfuls. 
 
 48 And he gathered up all the food of the 
 seven years which were in the land of 
 Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities : 
 the food of the field which was round about 
 every city, laid he up in the same. 
 
 49 And Joseph gathered 3s corn 'as the 
 sand of the sea, very much, until he left 
 numbering; for it ivas without number. 
 
 50 'And to Joseph were born two sons 
 before the years of famine came : whom 
 Asenath the daughter of Poti-pherah Hpriest 
 of On bore to him. 
 
 51 And Joseph called the name of the 
 first-born ||Manasseh ; For God, said he, 
 hath made me forget all my "sorrow, and 
 all my father's house. 
 
 52 And the name of the second called he 
 HEphraim: For God hath caused me to be 
 'fruitful in the land of my affliction. 
 
 53 If And the seven years of plenteous- 
 ness that was in the land of Egypt, were 
 ended. . 
 
 54 s And the seven years of 40 famine be- 
 gan to come, 'according as Joseph had said : 
 and the 41 famine was in all lands; but in 
 all the land of Egypt there was bread. 
 
Joseph's brethren come to bay corn. 
 
 55 And when all the land of Egypt was 
 42 famishing, the people cried to Pharaoh 
 for bread: and Pharaoh said to all the 
 Egyptians, Go to Joseph; what he saith to 
 you, do. 
 
 56 And the famine was over all the face 
 of the earth : and Joseph opened tall the 
 store-houses, and "sold to the Egyptians ; 
 and the famine 43 became grievous in the 
 land of Egypt. 
 
 57 "And all countries came into Egypt to 
 Joseph 44 to buy corn; because ** the famine 
 was so 46 grievous in all lands. 
 
 CHAPTER XLII. 
 
 1 Jacob sendeth his ten sons to buy corn in Egypt. 
 16 They are imprisoned by Joseph for spies. 18 
 They are set at liberty, on condition to bring 
 Benjamin. 21 They have remorse for Joseph. 24 
 Simeon is kept for a pledge. 25 They return with 
 corn, and their money. 29 Their relation to Ja- 
 cob. 36 Jacob refuseth to send Benjamin. 
 
 NOW when "Jacob saw that there was 
 corn in Egypt, Jacob said to his sons, 
 Why do ye look one upon another ? 
 
 2 And he said, Behold I have heard that 
 there is corn in Egypt: J go down thither, 
 and buy for us from thence ; that we may 
 4 live, and not die. 
 
 3 If And Joseph's ten brethren went down 
 to buy corn in Egypt. 
 
 4 But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob 
 sent not with his brethren: for he said, 
 c Lest 2 perhaps mischief befall him. 
 
 5 And the sons of Israel came to buy 
 corn among those that came : for the fa- 
 mine was *in the land of Canaan. 
 
 6 And Joseph was the governor 'over the 
 land, and he it was that sold to all the 
 people of the land : and Joseph's brethren 
 came, and f bowed down themselves before 
 him with their faces to the earth. 
 
 7 And Joseph saw his brethren, and he 
 knew them, but made himself strange to 
 them, and spoke troughly to them ; and he 
 said to them, Whence come ye? And 
 they said, From the land of Canaan to 
 buy food. 
 
 8 And Joseph knew his brethren, but 
 they knew not him. 
 
 9 And Joseph ^remembered the dreams 
 which he ' had' dreamed Concerning them, 
 and said to them, Ye are spies ; to see the 
 nakedness of the land ye are come. 
 
 10 And they said to him, Nay, my lord, 
 but to buy food are thy servants come. 
 
 11 We are all one man's sons; we are 
 4 true men ; thy servants are no spies. 
 
 12 And he said to them, Nay, but to see 
 the nakedness of the land ye are come. 
 
 13 And they said, Thy servants are 
 twelve brethren, the sons of one man in 
 the land of Canaan: and behold, the 
 youngest is this day with our father, and 
 one hs 5 no more. 
 
 14 And Joseph said to them, That is it 
 that I spoke to you, saying, Ye are spies : 
 
 15 By this ye shall be proved : 'By the 
 life of Pharaoh ye shall not go forth hence, 
 except your youngest brother come hither. 
 
 16 Send one of you, and let him fetch 
 your brother, and ye shall be tkept in 
 prison, that your words may be proved, 
 whether there be any truth in you : or else, 
 by the life of Pharaoh, surely ye are spies. 
 
 17 And he tput them altogether in cus- 
 tody three days.

 18 And Joseph said to them the third day, 
 This do, and live ; for I fear God : 
 
 19 If ye ''are true men, let one of your 
 brethren be bound in the house of your 
 prison : go ye, carry corn for the famine 
 of your houses : 
 
 20 But 'bring your youngest brother to 
 me ; so shall your words be verified, and 
 ye shall not die. And they did so. 
 
 21 If And they said one to another, "We 
 are 8 truly guilty concerning our brother, 
 in that we saw the anguish of his soul, 
 when he besought us, and we would not 
 hear ; "therefore is this distress come upon 
 us. 
 
 22 And Reuben answered them, saying, 
 "Did I not speak to you, saying, Do not sin 
 against the child; and ye would not hear? 
 therefore behold also his blood is p required. 
 
 23 And they knew not that Joseph un- 
 derstood them ; for the spoke to them by 
 an interpreter. 
 
 24 And he turned himself from them, 
 and went; and returned to them again, 
 and 9 taiked with them, and took from 
 them Simeon, and bound him before their 
 eyes. 
 
 25 If Then Joseph commanded to fill their 
 sacks with corn, and to restore 10 each man's 
 money into his sack, and to give them pro- 
 vision for the way: and «thus did he to 
 them. 
 
 26 And they "loaded their asses with the 
 corn, and departed thence. 
 
 27 And as 'one of them opened his sack 
 to give his ass provender in the inn, he 
 espied his money: for behold, it was in 
 his sack's mouth. 
 
 28 And he said to his brethren, My mo- 
 ney is restored ; and lo, it is even in my 
 sack: and their heart tfailed them, and 
 they were afraid, saying one to another, 
 What is this that God hath done to us ? 
 
 29 If And they came to Jacob their father 
 to the land of Canaan, and told him all 
 that 12 had befallen them, saying, 
 
 30 The man who is the lord of the land, 
 'spoke troughly to us, and took us for spies 
 or the country. 
 
 31 And we said to him, We are true men; 
 we are no spies : 
 
 32 We li are twelve brethren, sons of our 
 father: one is 14 no more, and the youngest 
 is this day with our father in the land of 
 Canaan. 
 
 33 And the man, the lord of the country, 
 said to us, 'By this shall I know that ye 
 are true men : leave one of your brethren 
 here with me, and take food for the famine 
 of your households, and be gone : 
 
 34 And bring your youngest brother to 
 me : then shall I know that ye are no spies, 
 but that ye are true men : so will I deliver 
 you your brother, and ye shall "traffick in 
 the land. 
 
 35 If And it came to pass as they emptied 
 their sacks, that behold, I,5 each man's bun- 
 dle of money was in Ids sack ; and when 
 both they and their father saw the bundles 
 of money, they were afraid. 
 
 36 And Jacob their father said to them, 
 Me have ye "bereaved of my children: Jo- 
 seph is 16 no more, and Simeon is "no more, 
 and ye will take Benjamin away: all these 
 things are against me. 
 
 37 And Reuben spoke to his father, say- 
 
Benjamin sent with the rest. 
 
 ing, Slay my two sons, if I bring him not 
 to thee: deliver him into my hand, and I 
 will bring him to thee again. 
 38 And he said. My son shall not go 
 down with you ; for 2 his brother is dead, 
 and he is left alone : "if mischief befall 
 him by the way in which ye go, then 18 will 
 ye 'bring down my gray hairs with sorrow 
 to the "grave. 
 
 CHAPTER XLIII. 
 
 1 Jacob is hardly persuaded to send Benjamin. 15 
 Joseph enteriaineth his brethren. 31 He maketh 
 them a/east. 
 
 AND the famine was a 'grievous in the 
 land. 
 
 2 And it came to pass, when they had 
 eaten up the corn which they had brought 
 out of Egypt, their father said to them, 
 Go again, buy us a little food. 
 
 3 And Judah spoke to him, saying, The 
 man tdid solemnly protest to us, saying, Ye 
 shall not see my face, except your 'brother 
 be with you. 
 
 4 If thou wilt send our brother with us, 
 we will go down and buy thee food : 
 
 5 But if thou wilt not send him we will 
 not go down : for the man said to us, Ye 
 shall not see my face, except your bi other 
 be with you. 
 
 6 And Israel said, Wherefore dealt ye 
 so ill with me, as to tell the man whether 
 ye had yet a brother ? 
 
 7 And they said, The man tasked us 
 2 strictly respecting our state, and 3 our 
 kindred, saying, Is your father yet alive? 
 have ye another brother ? and we told him 
 according to the ttenor of these words: 
 tCould we certainly know that he would 
 say, Bring your brother down ? 
 
 8 And Judah said to Israel his father, 
 Send the lad with me, and we will arise 
 and go; that we may live, and not die, 
 both we, and thou, and also our little ones. 
 
 9 I will 4 answer for him ; 5 from my hand 
 shalt thou require him : "if I bring him not 
 to thee, and set him before thee, then let 
 me bear the blame for ever : 
 
 10 For except we had lingered, surely 
 now we had returned tthis second time. 
 
 11 And their father Israel said to them, 
 If it must be so now, do this ; take of the 
 best fruits 6 of the land in your vessels, 
 and d carry down the man a present, a little 
 'balm, and a little honey, spices, and myrrh, 
 nuts, and almonds : 
 
 12 And take double money in your hand ; 
 and the money 'that was brought again in 
 the mouth of your sacks, carry it again in 
 your hand ; 'perhaps it toas an oversight : 
 
 13 Take also your brother, and arise, go 
 again to the man : 
 
 14 And God Almighty give you mercy 
 before the man, that he may send away 
 your other brother, and Benjamin : s ||If I 
 be bereaved of my children, I am bereaved. 
 
 15 f And the men took that present, and 
 they took double money in their hand, and 
 Benjamin ; and rose up, and went down 
 to Egypt, and stood before Joseph. 
 
 16 And when Joseph saw Benjamin with 
 'them, he said to the *ruler of his house, 
 
 Bring these men home, and tslay, and 
 make ready: for these men shall tdine 
 with me at noon. 
 
 17 And the man did as Joseph bade : and

 to the inn, that we opened our sacks, and 
 behold, 9 each man's money was in the 
 mouth of his sack, our money in full 
 weight : and we have brought it again in 
 our hand. 
 
 22 And other money have we brought 
 down in our hands to buy food : we 10 know 
 not who put our money in our sacks. 
 
 23 And he said, Peace be to you, fear not: 
 your God, and the God of your father, hath . 
 given you treasure in your sacks : tl had 
 your money. And he brought Simeon out 
 to them. 
 
 24 And the man brought the men into 
 Joseph's house, and 'gave them water, and 
 they washed their feet ; and he gave their 
 asses provender. 
 
 25 And they made ready the present 
 against Joseph came at noon: for they 
 heard that they should eat "food there. 
 
 26 II And when Joseph came home, they 
 brought him the present which was in their 
 hand into the house, and "bowed them- 
 selves to him to the earth. 
 
 27 And he asked them of their twelfare, 
 and said, fls your father well, the old man 
 "of whom ye spoke ? Is he yet alive ? 
 
 28 And they answered, Thy servant our 
 father is in good health, he is yet alive: 
 "and they bowed down their heads, and 
 12 prostrated themselves. 
 
 29 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw 
 his brother Benjamin, 'his mother's son, 
 and said, Is this your younger brother, «of 
 whom ye spoke to me? And he said, God 
 be gracious to thee, my son. 
 
 30 And Joseph made haste ; for r his bowels 
 did yearn 13 towards his brother: and he 
 sought where to weep; and he entered 
 into his chamber, and s wept there. 
 
 31 And he washed his face, and went 
 out, and refrained himself, and said, Set 
 on " 4 food. 
 
 32 And they set on for him by himself, 
 and for them by themselves, and for the 
 Egyptians who did eat with him, by them- 
 selves : because the Egyptians might not 
 eat 15 food with the Hebrews; for that is "an 
 abomination to the Egyptians. 
 
 33 And they sat before him, the first-born 
 according to his birth-right, and the young- 
 est according to his youth : and the men 
 "wondered one at another. 
 
 34 And he took and sent messes to them 
 from before him: but Benjamin's mess 
 was x five times "as much as any of theirs. 
 And they drank, and twere merry with him. 
 
 CHAPTER XLIV. 
 
 1 Joseph's policy to stay his brethren. 14 Judah's 
 humble supplication to Joseph. 
 
 AND he commanded tthe steward of his 
 house, saying, Fill the men's sacks 
 
His policy to stay them. 
 
 with food, as much as they can carry, and 
 put 'each man's money in his sack's mouth. 
 
 2 And put my cup, the silver cup, in the 
 sack's mouth of the youngest, and his corn 
 money : and he did according to the word 
 that J oseph had spoken. 
 
 3 As soon as the morning was light, the 
 men were sent away, they, and their asses. 
 
 4 And when they had gone out of the 
 city, and not yet far off, Joseph said to his 
 steward, 2 Rise, follow after the men ; and 
 when thou dost overtake them, say to them, 
 Wherefore have ye rewarded evil for good? 
 
 5 Is not this it in which my lord drink - 
 eth, and by which indeed he ||divineth ? ye 
 have done evil in so doing. 
 
 6 If And he overtook them, and he spoke 
 to them these same words. 
 
 7 And they said to him, Wherefore saith 
 my lord these words ? 3 Far be it that thy 
 servants should do "such a thing : 
 
 8 Behold, "the money which we found in 
 our sacks' mouths, we brought again to 
 thee out of the land of Canaan : how then 
 should we steal out of thy lord's house 
 silver or gold ? 
 
 9 With whomsoever of thy servants it be 
 found, 'both let him die, and we also will 
 be my lord's bondmen. 
 
 10 And he said, Now also let it be ac- 
 cording to your words : he with .whom it 
 is found shall be my servant; and ye shall 
 be blameless. 
 
 11 Then they speedily took down s each 
 man his sack to the ground, and opened 
 6 each man his sack. 
 
 12 And he searched, and began at the 
 eldest, and 'ended at the youngest: and 
 the cup was found in Benjamin's sack. 
 
 13 Then they 'rent their clothes, and 
 8 loaded 9 each man his ass, and returned 
 to the city. 
 
 14 If And Judah and his brethren came 
 to Joseph's house, (for he was yet there :) 
 and they d fell before him on the ground. 
 
 15 And Joseph said to them, What deed 
 is this that ye have done ? 10 know ye not 
 that such a man as I can certainly ||divine? 
 
 16 And Judah said, What shall we say 
 to my lord ? what shall we speak ? or how 
 shall we clear ourselves ? God hath found 
 out the iniquity of thy servants : behold 
 e we are my lord's servants, both we, and 
 he also with whom the cup is found. 
 
 17 And he said, f "Far be it that I should 
 do so : but the man in whose hand the cup 
 is found, he shall be my servant ; and as 
 for you, 12 go ye up in peace to your father. 
 
 18 If Then Judah came near to him, and 
 said, my lord, let thy servant, I pray 
 thee, speak a word in my lord's ,3 hearing, 
 and g \et not thine anger burn against thy 
 servant: for thou art even as Pharaoh. 
 
 19 My lord asked his servants, saying, 
 Have ye a father, or a brother? 
 
 20 And we said to my lord, We have a 
 father, an old man, and *a child of his old 
 age, a little one: and his brother is dead, 
 and he alone is left of his mother, and his 
 father loveth him. 
 
 21 And thou saidst to thy servants, "Bring 
 him down to me, that I may set mine eyes 
 upon him. 
 
 22 And we said to my lord, The lad can- 
 not leave his father: for if he should leave 
 his father, his father would die.

 Judah's humble supplication. 
 
 23 And thou saidst to thy servants, *Ex- 
 cept your youngest brother come down 
 with you, ye shall see my face no more. 
 
 24 And it came to pass, when we came 
 up to thy servant my father, we told hiin 
 the words of my lord. 
 
 25 And 'our father said, Go again, and 
 buy us a little food. 
 
 26 And we said, We cannot go down : 
 if our youngest brother be with us, then 
 will we go down; for we may not see the 
 man's face, except our youngest brother 
 be with us. 
 
 97 And thy servant my father said to us, 
 Ye know that m my wife bore me two sons : 
 
 28 And the one went out from me, and I 
 said, "Surely he is torn in pieces; and I 
 have not seen him since. 
 
 29 And if ye "take this also from me, and 
 mischief befall him, ye M will bring down 
 my gray hairs with sorrow to the 15 grave. 
 
 30 Now therefore when I come to thy 
 servant my father, and the lad be not with 
 us ; (seeing that p his life is bound up in the 
 lad's life ;J 
 
 31 It l6 will come to pass, when he seeth 
 that the lad is not with us, that he will 
 die: and thy servants shall bring down 
 the gray hairs of thy servant our father 
 with sorrow to the "grave. 
 
 32 For thy servant became surety for the 
 lad to my father, saying, 'If 1 bring him 
 not to thee, then 1 18 will bear the blame to 
 my father for ever. 
 
 33 Now therefore, I pray thee, iet thy 
 servant abide instead of the lad a bond- 
 man to my lord; and let the lad go up 
 with his brethren. 
 
 34 For how shall I go up to my father, 
 and the lad be not with me ? lest 19 perhaps 
 I see the evil that 20 will tcome on my father. 
 
 CHAPTER XLV. 
 
 1 Joseph maketh himself known to his brethren. 5 He 
 comforteth them in God's providence. 9 He sendeth 
 for his father. 16 Pharaoh confirmeth it. 21 Jo- 
 seph furnisheth them for their journey, and exhort- 
 eth them to concord. 25 Jacob is revived with the 
 news. 
 
 THEN Joseph could not refrain himself 
 before all 'those who stood by him ; 
 and he cried, Cause every man to go out 
 from me: and there stood no man with 
 him, while Joseph made himself known to 
 his brethren. 
 
 2 And he twept aloud; and the Egyp- 
 tians, 2 even the household of Pharaoh 
 heard. 
 
 3 And Joseph said to his brethren, a I am 
 Joseph; doth my father yet live? And 
 his brethren could not answer him ; for 
 they were 'terrified at his presence. 
 
 4 And Joseph said to his brethren, Come 
 near to me, I pray you: and they came 
 near. And he said, I am Joseph your 
 brother, 'whom ye sold into Egypt. 
 
 5 Now therefore c be not grieved, tnor 
 angry with yourselves, that ye sold me 
 hither : d for God did send me before you 
 to preserve life. 
 
 6 For these two years hath the famine 
 been in the land : and yet there are five 
 years in 4 which there shall neither be 
 'plowing nor harvest. 
 
 7 And God sent me before you, tto pre- 
 serve you a posterity in the earth, and to 
 save your lives by a great deliverance. 
 
Joseph sendelh for his father. 
 
 8 So now it was not you that sent me 
 hither, but God : and he hath made me "a 
 father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, 
 and a ruler throughout all the land of 
 Egypt. 
 
 •9 Haste ye, and go up to my father, and 
 say to him, Thus saith thy son Joseph, 
 God hath made me lord of all Egypt; 
 come down to me, tarry not: 
 
 10 And 'thou shalt dwell in the land of 
 Goshen, and thou shalt be near to me, 
 thou, and thy children, and thy children's 
 children, and thy flocks, and thy herds, 
 and all that thou hast : 
 
 11 And there will I nourish thee, (for yet 
 there are five years of famine ;) lest thou, 
 and thy household, and all that thou hast 
 come to poverty. 
 
 12 Ana behold, your eyes see, and the 
 eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is 
 'my mouth that speaketh to you. 
 
 13 And ye shall tell my father of all my 
 glory in Egypt, and of all that ye have 
 seen : and ye shall haste, and *bring down 
 my father hither. 
 
 14 And he fell upon his brother Benja- 
 min's neck, and wept; and Benjamin 
 wept upon his neck. 
 
 15 Moreover, he kissed all his brethren, 
 and wept upon them : and after that his 
 brethren talked with him. 
 
 16 U And the 6 report of this was heard 
 in Pharaoh's house, saying, Joseph's bre- 
 thren are come : and it tpleased Pharaoh 
 well, and his servants. 
 
 17 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Say to 
 thy brethren, This do ye; 'load your 
 beasts, and go 9 forth to the land of Canaan ; 
 
 18 And take your father, and your house- 
 holds, and come to me: and I will give 
 you the good of the land of Egypt, and ye 
 shall eat the fat of the land. 
 
 19 Now thou art commanded, this do ye; 
 take you wagons out of the land of Egypt 
 for your little ones, and for your wives, 
 and bring your father, and come. 
 
 20 Also fregard not your stuff: for the 
 good of all the land of Egypt is yours. 
 
 21 And the children of Israel did so : 
 and Joseph gave them wagons, according 
 to the t commandment of Pharaoh, ana 
 gave them provision for the way. 
 
 22 To all of them he gave each man 
 changes of raiment : but to Benjamin he 
 gave three hundred ^shekels of silver, and 
 *five changes of raiment. 
 
 23 And to his father he sent after this 
 manner; ten asses tladen with the good 
 things of Egypt, and ten she-asses laden 
 with corn and bread and meat for his fa- 
 ther by the way. 
 
 24 So he sent his brethren away, and they 
 departed : and he said to them, See that 
 ye contend notby the way. 
 
 25 If And they went up out of Egypt, and 
 came into the land of Canaan to Jacob 
 their father, 
 
 26 And told him, saying, Joseph is yet 
 alive, and he is governor over all the land 
 of Egypt. 'And tJacob's "heart fainted, 
 for he believed them not. 
 
 27 And they told him all the words of 
 Joseph, which he had said to them : and 
 when he saw the wagons which Joseph 
 had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob 
 their father revived :

 I Jacob is comforted by God at Beer-sheba : 5 Thence 
 lie with his company goeth into Egypt. 8 The 
 number of his family that went into Egypt. 28 
 Joseph meeteth Jacob. 31 He instructeth his breth- 
 ren how to answer to Pharaoh. 
 
 AND Israel took his journey with all 
 that he had, and came to "Beer-sheba, 
 and offered sacrifices to the God of his 
 father Isaac. 
 
 2 And God spoke to Israel c in the visions 
 of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob ! and 
 he said, Here am I. 
 
 3 And he said, I am God, 'the God of 
 thy father: fear not to go down into Egypt;

 tion: 
 
 4 f I will go down with thee into Egypt ; 
 and I will also surely 'bring thee up again:

 eyes. 
 
 5 And 'Jacob rose up from Beer-sheba :

 father, and their little ones, and their wives,

 ren, and my father's "household, who were

 ther, before Pharaoh. 11 He giveth them habita- 
 tion and maintenance. 13 He getteth all the Egyp-

 Pharaoh. 22 The priests' land was not bought. 
 23 He letteth the land to them, for a fifth part. 28 
 Jacob's age. 29 He sweareth Joseph to bury him

 He presenteth Jacob to Pharaoh 
 
 have come to sojourn in the land : for thy 
 servants have no pasture for their flocks, 
 *for the famine is z grievous in the land of 
 Canaan : now therefore, we pray thee, let 
 thy servants ''dwell in the land of Goshen. 
 
 5 And Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, 
 Thy father and thy brethren are come to 
 thee: 
 
 6 'The land of Egypt is before thee ; in the 
 best of the land make thy father and breth- 
 ren to dwell ; ''in the land of Goshen let 
 them dwell ; and if thou knowest any men 
 of activity among them, then make them 
 rulers over my cattle. 
 
 7 And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, 
 and set him before Pharaoh : and Jacob 
 blessed Pharaoh. 
 
 8 And Pharaoh said to Jacob, tHow old 
 art thou ? 
 
 9 And Jacob said to Pharaoh, 'The days 
 of the years of my Sojourning are a hun- 
 dred and thirty years : m few and evil have 
 the days of the years of my life been, and 
 "have not attained to the days of the years 
 of the life of my fathers in the days of 
 their 4 sojourning. 
 
 10 And Jacob "blessed Pharaoh, and went 
 out from before Pharaoh. 
 
 11 If And Joseph placed his father and his 
 brethren, and gave them a possession in 
 the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, 
 in the land ol p Rameses, «as Pharaoh had 
 commanded. 
 
 12 And Joseph nourished his father, and 
 his brethren, and all his father's household, 
 with bread Htaccording to their families. 
 
 13 ^f And there was no bread in all the 
 land ; for the famine was very 6 grievous, 
 r so that the land of Egypt, and allthe land 
 of Canaan, fainted by reason of the famine. 
 
 14 "And Joseph gathered up all the mo- 
 ney that was found in the land of Egypt, 
 and in the land of Canaan, for the corn 
 which they bought: and Joseph brought 
 the money into Pharaoh's house. 
 
 15 And when money failed in the land 
 of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all 
 the Egyptians came to Joseph, and said, 
 Give us Dread : for 'why should we die in 
 thy presence? for the money faileth. 
 
 16 And Joseph said, Give your cattle ; and 
 I will give you for your cattle, if money fail. 
 
 17 And they brought their cattle to Jo- 
 seph : and Joseph gave them bread in ex- 
 change for horses, and for the flocks, and 
 for the cattle of the herds, and for the 
 asses ; and he Sustained them with bread, 
 for all their cattle, for that year. 
 
 18 When that year was ended, they came 
 to him the second year, and said to him, 
 We will not hide it from my lord, that 
 our money is spent; my lord also hath 
 our herds of cattle : there is not 7 any thing 
 left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies 
 and our lands : 
 
 19 Wherefore shall we die before thine 
 eyes, both we and our land ? buy us and 
 our land for bread, and we and our land 
 will be servants to Pharaoh : and give us 
 seed, that we may live, and not die, that 
 the land be not desolate. 
 
 20 And Joseph bought all the land of 
 Egypt for Pharaoh ; for the Egyptians sold 
 8 each man his field, because the famine 
 prevailed over them : so the land became 
 Pharaoh's. 
 
 37 
 
Israel multiplied in Goshen. 
 
 21 And as for the people, he removed 
 them to cities from one end of the borders 
 of Egypt even to the other end thereof. 
 
 22 "Only the land of the Hpriests bought 
 he not ; for the priests had a portion as- 
 signed them "by Pharaoh, and did eat their 
 portion which Pharaoh gave them ; where- 
 fore they sold not their lands. 
 
 23 Then Joseph said to the people, Be- 
 hold, I have bought you this day and your 
 land for Pharaoh: lo, here is seed for you, 
 and ye shall sow the land. 
 
 24 And it shall come to pass in the in- 
 crease, that ye shall give the fifth part to 
 Pharaoh, and four parts shall be your own, 
 for seed of the field, and for your food, and 
 for them of your households, and for food 
 for your little ones. 
 
 25 And they said, Thou hast saved our 
 lives : *let us find 10 favour in the sight of my 
 lord, and we will be Pharaoh's servants. 
 
 26 And Joseph made it a law over the 
 land of Egypt to this day, that Pharaoh 
 should have the fifth part; "except the 
 land of the Hpriests only, which became 
 not Pharaoh's. 
 
 27 f And Israel *dwelt in the land of 
 Egypt, in the country of Goshen; and they 
 had possessions therein, and "grew, and 
 multiplied exceedingly. 
 
 28 And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt 
 seventeen years : so tthe whole age of Ja- 
 cob was a hundred forty and seven years. 
 
 29 And the time 'drew nigh that Israel 
 must die : and he called his son Joseph, 
 and said to him, If now I have found "favour 
 in thy sight, c put, I pray thee, thy hand under 
 my thigh, and d deal kindly and truly with 
 me ; 'bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt : 
 
 30 But 'I will lie with my fathers, and 
 thou shalt carry me out of Egypt, and ? bury 
 me in their burying-place. And he said, 
 I will do as thou hast said. 
 
 31 And he said, Swear to me : and he 
 swore to him. And "Israel bowed himself 
 upon the bed's head. 
 
 CHAPTER XL VIII. 
 
 1 Joseph toith his sons visiteth his sick father. 2 Ja- 
 cob strengthened himself to bless them. 3 He re- 
 peateth the promise. 5 He taketh Ephraim and 
 Manasseh as his own. 7 He telleth Joseph of his 
 mothers grave. 9 He blesseth Ephraim and Ma- 
 nasseh. 17 He preferreth the younger before the 
 elder. 21 He prophesieth their return to Canaan. 
 
 AND it came to pass after these things, 
 that one told Joseph, Behold, they fa- 
 ther is sick : and he took with him his two 
 sons, Manasseh and Ephraim. 
 
 2 And one told Jacob, and said, Behold, 
 thy son Joseph cometh to thee : and Israel 
 strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed. 
 
 3 And Jacob said to Joseph, God Al- 
 mighty appeared to me at "Luz in the land 
 of Canaan, and blessed me, 
 
 4 And said to me, Behold, I will make 
 thee fruitful, and multiply thee, and I will 
 make of thee a multitude of people ; and 
 will give this land to thy seed after thee, 
 for an everlasting possession. 
 
 5 If And now, thy c two sons, Ephraim 
 and Manasseh, who were born to thee in 
 the land of Egypt, before I came to thee 
 into Egypt, are mine : as Reuben and Si- 
 meon, they shall be mine.

 after them, shall be thine, and shall be

 7 And as for me, when I came from Pa-

 Canaan, in the way, when yet there was 
 but a little way to come to Ephrath : and 
 I buried her there in the way of Ephrath, 
 the same is Beth-lehem. 
 
 8 And Israel beheld Joseph's sons, and 
 said, Who are these ? 
 
 9 And Joseph said to Ms father, 'They 
 are my sons, whom God hath given me in 
 this place. And he said, Bring them, I 
 pray thee, to me, and f I will bless them. 
 
 10 (Now s the eyes of Israel were tdim for 
 age; 2 he could not see :) And he brought 
 them near to him ; and "he kissed them, 
 and embraced them. 
 
 11 And Israel said to Joseph, 'I had not 
 thought to see thy face : and lo, God hath 
 shewed me also thy seed. 
 
 12 And Joseph brought them out from 
 between his knees, and he bowed himself 
 with his face to the earth. 
 
 13 And Joseph took them both, Ephraim 
 in his right hand towards Israel's left hand, 
 and Manasseh in his left hand towards Is- 
 rael's right hand, and brought them near 
 to him. 
 
 14 And Israel stretched out his right 
 hand, and laid it upon Ephraim's head, 
 who was the younger, and his left hand 
 upon Manasseh's head, *guiding his hands 
 3 knowingly ; for Manasseh was the first- 
 born. 
 
 15 If And foe blessed Joseph, and said, 
 God, "before whom my fathers Abraham 
 and Isaac did walk, the God who fed me 
 all my life long to this day, 
 
 16 The Angel " 4 who delivered 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 
 tgrow to a multitude in the midst of the 
 earth. 
 
 17 And when Joseph saw that his father 
 'laid his right hand upon the head of Ephra- 
 im, it ||displeased him : and he held up his 
 father's hand, to remove it from Ephraim's 
 head to Manasseh's head. 
 
 18 And Joseph said to his father, Not so, 
 my father : for this is the first-born ; put 
 thy right hand upon his head. 
 
 19 And his father refused, and said, 'I 
 know it, my son, I know it: he also shall 
 become a people, and he also shall be great : 
 but truly ins younger brother shall be 
 greater than he, and his seed shall become 
 a tmultitude of nations. 
 
 20 And he blessed them that day, say- 
 ing, * 5 By thee shall Israel bless, saying, 
 God make thee as Ephraim and as Manas- 
 seh: and he set Ephraim before Manasseh. 
 
 21 And Israel said to Joseph, Behold, I 
 die ; but 'God 5 will be with you, and bring 
 you again to the land of your fathers. 
 
 22 Moreover "I have given to thee one 
 portion above thy brethren, which I took 
 out of the hand x of the Amorite with my 
 sword and with my bow.

 blessed them.

 them, I 'am to be gathered to my people : 
 rf bury me with my fathers 'in the cave that 
 is in the field of Ephron the Hittite, 
 
 30 In the cave that is in the field of 
 Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the 
 land of Canaan, 5 which Abraham bought 
 with the field of Ephron the Hittite, for a 
 possession of a burying-place. 
 
 31 ( s There they buried Abraham and Sa- 
 rah his wife ; ''there they buried Isaac and 
 Rebekah Ids wife; and there I buried 
 Leah.) 
 
 32 The purchase of the field and of the 
 cave that is therein, was from the children 
 of Heth. 
 
 33 And when Jacob had made an end of 
 commanding his sons, he gathered up his 
 feet into the bed, and 20 expired, and 'was 
 gathered to his people. 
 
 CHAPTER L. 
 
 1 The mourning for Jacob. 4 Joseph getteth leave of 
 Pharaoh to go to bury him. 7 The funeral. 15 
 Joseph comforteth his brethren, who craved his 
 pardon. 22 His age. 23 He seeth the third gene- 
 ration of his sons. 24 He prophesieth to his breth- 
 ren of their return. 25 He taketh an oath of them 
 for his bones. 26 He dieth, and is embalmed. 
 
 AND Joseph "fell upon his father's face, 
 and 'wept upon him, and kissed him. 
 
 2 And Joseph commanded his servants 
 the physicians to 'embalm his father : and 
 the physicians embalmed Israel. 
 
 3 And forty days were fulfilled for him ; 
 for so are fulfilled the days of those who 
 are embalmed : and the Egyptians fmourn- 
 ed for him threescore and ten days. 
 
 4 And when the days of his mourning 
 were past, Joseph spoke to 'the house ol 
 Pharaoh saying, If now I have found 'fa- 
 vour in your 2 sight, speak, I pray you, in 
 the 3 hearing of Pharaoh, saying, 
 
 5 '"My father made me swear saying, Lo, 
 I die : in my grave «which I have digged 
 for me in the land of Canaan, there shalt 
 thou bury me. Now therefore let me go 
 up, I pray thee, and bury my father, and 
 I will come again. 
 
 6 And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy 
 father, according as he made thee swear. 
 
 7 If And Joseph went up to bury his fa- 
 ther : and with him went up all the ser- 
 vants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, 
 and all the elders of the land of Egypt, 
 
 8 And all the house of Joseph, and his 
 brethren, and his father's house : only their 
 little ones, and their flocks, and their 
 herds, they left in the land of Goshen. 
 
 39 
 
The burial of Jacob. 
 
 9 And there went up with him both cha- 
 riots and horsemen : and it was a veiy 
 great company. 
 
 10 And they came to the threshing -floor 
 of Atad, which is beyond Jordan, and there 
 they "mourned with a great and very ''griev- 
 ous lamentation : "and he made a mourning 
 for his father seven days. 
 
 11 And when the inhabitants of the land, 
 the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the 
 floor of Atad, they said, This is a grievous 
 mourning to the Egyptians: wherefore the 
 name of it was called ||Abel-mizraim, 6 it 
 is beyond Jordan. 
 
 12 And his sons did to him according as 
 he ' had' commanded them : 
 
 13 For *his sons carried him into the land 
 of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of 
 the field of Machpelah, which Abraham 
 'bought with the field for a possession of a 
 burying-place of Ephron the Hittite, be- 
 fore Mamre. 
 
 14 If And Joseph returned into Egypt, he 
 and his brethren, and all that went up with 
 him to bury his father, after he had buried 
 his father. 
 
 15 If And when Joseph's brethren saw 
 that their father was dead, m they said, Jo- 
 seph will "perhaps hate us, and will certainly 
 requite us all the evil which we did to him. 
 
 16 And they tsent a messenger to Joseph, 
 saying, Thy father did command before he 
 died, saying, 
 
 17 7 Thus shall ye say to Joseph, Forgive, 
 I pray thee now, the trespass of thy breth- 
 ren, and their sin ; "for they did to thee

 trespass of the servants of "the God of thy

 to him. 
 
 18 And his brethren also went and p fel'l 
 down before his face : and they said, Be- 
 hold, we s are thy servants. 
 
 19 And Joseph said to them, 'Fear not : 
 r for am I in the place of God ? 
 
 20 'But as for you, ye thought evil against 
 me; but 'God meant it 9 for good, to bring 
 to pass, as it is this day, to save 10 many 
 people alive. 
 
 21 Now therefore fear ye not: °I will 
 nourish you, and your little ones. And 
 he comforted them, and spoke tkindly to 
 them. 
 
 22 f And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and 
 his father's house: and Josepli lived a 
 hundred and ten years. 
 
 23 And Joseph saw Ephraim's children 
 x of the third generation: y the children al- 
 so of Machir, the son of Manasseh, *were 
 tbrought up upon Joseph's knees. 
 
 24 And Joseph said to his brethren, I 
 die ; and "God will surely visit you, and 
 bring you "up from this land, to the land 
 " respecting' which he swore to Abraham, 
 to Isaac, and to Jacob. 
 
 25 And 'Joseph took an oath of the child- 
 ren of Israel, saying, God will surely visit 
 you, and ye shall carry up my bones from 
 hence. 
 
 26 So Joseph died, being a hundred and 
 ten years old : and they ^embalmed him, 
 and lie was put into a coffin in Egypt. 
 
 THE SECOND BOOK OF MOSES, CALLED EXODUS. 
 
 CHAPTER I. 
 
 1 The children of Israel, after Joseph's death, do 
 multiply. 8 The more they are oppressed by a new 
 king, the more they multiply. 15 The godliness 
 of the midwives, in saving the men-children alive. 
 22 Pharaoh commandeth the male children to be 
 cast into the river. 
 
 NOW "these are the names of the child- 
 ren of Israel, who came into Egypt ; 
 every man and his household came with 
 Jacob. 
 
 2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah, 
 
 3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin, 
 
 4 Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher, 
 
 5 And all the 'persons that came 2 from 
 the tloins of Jacob were 'seventy 3 persons : 
 for Joseph was in Egypt already. 
 
 6 And 'Joseph died, and all his brethren, 
 and all that generation. 
 
 7 If d And the children of Israel were fruit- 
 ful, and increased abundantly, and multi- 
 plied, and 4 became exceedingly mighty ; 
 and the land was filled with them. 
 
 8 Now there 'arose up a new king over 
 Egypt, who knew not Joseph. 
 
 9 And he said to his people, Behold, 'the 
 people of the children of Israel are more 
 and mightier than we. 
 
 10 s Come on, let us Meal wisely with 
 them, lest they multiply, and it come to 
 pass, that, when there falleth out any war, 
 they join also to our enemies, and fight 
 against us, and so 6 gq up out of the land. 
 
 11 Therefore they did set over them task- 
 masters, 'to afflict them with their *bur-

 dens. And they built for Pharaoh trea-

 12 tBut the more they afflicted them, the 
 more they multiplied and grew. And they 
 were grieved because of the children of 
 Israel. 
 
 13 And the Egyptians made the children 
 of Israel to serve with rigour. 
 
 14 And they m made their lives bitter with 
 hard bondage, "in mortar, and in brick, 
 and in all 6 kinds of service in the field : 
 all their service wherein they made them 
 serve was with rigour. 
 
 15 f And the king of Egypt spoke to the 
 Hebrew midwives, (of whom the name of 
 one was Shiphrah, and the name of the 
 other Puah ;) 
 
 16 And he said, When ye do the office 
 of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and 
 see them upon the 'bathing-vessels; if it 
 be a son, then ye shall kill him ; but if it 
 be a daughter, then she shall live. 
 
 17 But the midwives "feared God, and 
 did not y as the king of Egypt commanded 
 them, but saved the male-children alive. 
 
 18 And the king of Egypt called for the 
 midwives, and said to them, Why have ye 
 done this thing, and have saved the male- 
 children alive ? 
 
 19 And 'the midwives said to Pharaoh, 
 Because the Hebrew women are not as the 
 Egyptian women ; for they are lively, and 
 are delivered 8 before the midwives come 
 in to them. 
 
 20 'Therefore God dealt well with the

 midwives: and the people multiplied, and 
 'became very mighty. 
 
 £1 And it came to pass, because the mid- 
 wives feared God, 'that he 10 made them 
 households. 
 
 22 And Pharaoh charged all his people, 
 saying, 'Every son that is born ye shall 
 cast into the river, and every daughter ye 
 shall save alive. 
 
 CHAPTER II. 
 
 1 Moses is horn, 3 and in an ark cast into the flags. 
 5 He is found, and brought up by Pharaoh's daugh- 
 ter. 11 He slayeth an Egyptian. 13 He reprov- 
 eth a Hebrew. 15 He fleeth into Midian. 21 He 
 marrieth Zipporah. 22 Gershom is born. 23 God 
 respect eth the Israelites' cry. 
 
 AND there went a a man of the house of 
 Levi, and took \for a 'wife a daughter 
 of Levi. 
 
 2 And the woman conceived and bore a 
 son : and 'when she saw him that he was 
 a goodly child, she hid him three months. 
 
 3 And. when she could not longer hide 
 him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, 
 and daubed it with 2 bitumen and with 
 
 fiitch, and put the child therein ; and she 
 aid it in the flags by the river's brink. 
 
 4 'And his sister stood afar off", to 3 know 
 what would be done to him. 
 
 5 f And the daughter of Pharaoh came 
 down to wash herself at the river; and her 
 maidens walked along by the river's side : 
 and when she saw the ark among the flags, 
 she sent her maid to bring it. 
 
 6 And when she had opened it, she saw 
 the child: and behold, the babe wept. 
 And she had compassion on him, and 
 said, This is one of the Hebrews' children. 
 
 7 Then said his sister to Pharaoh's daugh- 
 ter, Shall I go, and call to thee a nurse of 
 the Hebrew women, that she may nurse 
 the child for thee ? 
 
 8 And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, 
 Go. And the maid went and called the 
 child's mother. - 
 
 9 And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, 
 Take this child away and nurse it for me, 
 and I will give thee thy wages. And the 
 woman took the child and nursed it. 
 
 10 And the child grew, and she brought 
 him to Pharaoh's daughter, and he became 
 •her son. And she called his name ||Mo- 
 ses : and she said, Because I drew him out 
 of the water. 
 
 11 If And it came to pass in those days, 
 %hen Moses was grown, that he went out 
 to his brethren, and looked on their e bur- 
 dens : and he spied an Egyptian smiting 
 a Hebrew, one of his brethren. 
 
 12 And he looked this way and that way, 
 and when he saw that there was no man, 
 he *slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the 
 sand. 
 
 13 And 'when he Went out the second 
 day, behold, two men of the Hebrews 
 strove together: and he said to him that 
 did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy 
 fellow ? 
 
 14 And he said, ''Who made thee ta 
 prince and a judge over us? intendest 
 thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyp- 
 tian? And Moses feared, and said, Sure- 
 ly this thing is known. 
 
 15 Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, 
 he sought to slay Moses. But 'Moses fled

 the man ? call him, that he may eat 6 food. 
 
 21 And Moses was content to dwell with 
 the man: and he gave Moses 'Zipporah 
 his daughter. 
 
 22 And she bore him a son, and he called 
 his name || 'Gershom; for he said, I have 
 been "a stranger in a strange land. 
 
 23 Tf And it came topass, *in process of 
 time, that the king of Egypt died : and the 
 children of Israel ^sighed by reason of the 
 bondage, and they cried; and z their cry 
 came up to God, by reason of the bondage. 
 
 24 And God "heard their groaning, and 
 God 'remembered his 'covenant with Abra- 
 ham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. 
 
 25 And God d looked upon the children 
 of Israel, and t'had respect to them. 
 
 CHAPTER III. 
 
 1 Moses keepeth Jethro's flock. 2 God appeareth to 
 him in a burning bush. 9 He sendeth him to deli- 
 vet- Israel. 14 The name of God. 15 His message 
 to Israel. 
 
 NOW Moses kept the flock of Jethro his 
 father-in-law, the priest of Midian : 
 and he led the flock to the back side of the 
 desert, and came to 'the 'mountain of God, 
 even to Horeb. 
 
 2 And 'the Angel of Jehovah appeared to 
 him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a 
 bush; and he looked, and behold, the bush 
 burned with fire, and the bush was not 
 consumed. 
 
 3 And Moses said, I will now turn aside, 
 and see this d great sight, why the bush is 
 not burnt. 
 
 4 And when Jehovah saw that he turned 
 aside to see, God called e to him out of the 
 midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses ! 
 And he said, Here am I. 
 
 5 And he said, Draw not nigh hither: 
 ^put off" thy shoes from 2 thy feet ; for 
 the place whereon thou standest is holy 
 ground. 
 
 6 Moreover he said, e I am the God of thy 
 father, the God of Abraham, the God of 
 Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses 
 hid his face; for *he was afraid to look 
 upon God. 
 
 7 *f And Jehovah said, I have surely seen 
 the affliction of my people who are in 
 Egypt, and 'have heard their cry *by rea- 
 son of their taskmasters; for ! I know their 
 sorrows : 
 
 8 And m I am come down to "deliver them 
 from the hand of the Egyptians, and to 
 bring them up out of that land, "to a good 
 land, and a large, to a land ^flowing with 
 milk and honey; to the place of «the Ca- 
 
 4] ' 
 
Moses sent to deliver Israel. 
 
 naanites, and the Hittites, and the Amor- 
 ites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, 
 and the Jebusites. 
 
 9 Now therefore, behold, the cry of the 
 children of Israel is come to me: and I 
 have also seen the 'oppression wherewith 
 the Egyptians oppress them. 
 
 10 'Come now therefore, and I will send 
 thee to Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring 
 forth my people, the children of Israel, out 
 of Egypt. 
 
 11 U And Moses said to God, "Who am 
 I, that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I 
 should bring forth the children of Israel 
 out of Egypt ? 
 
 12 And lie said, l3 But I will be with thee; 
 and this shall be a token to thee, that I have 
 sent thee : When thou hast brought forth 
 the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve 
 God upon this mountain. 
 
 13 And Moses said to God, Behold, when I 
 come to the children of Israel , and slial I say 
 to them, The God of your fathers hath sent 
 me to you; and they shall say to me, What 
 is his name ? What shall I say to them ? 
 
 14 And God said to Moses, 4 I AM THAT 
 I AM : And he said, Thus shalt thou say 
 to the children of Israel, y I AM hath sent 
 me to you. 
 
 15 And God said moreover to Moses, 
 Thus shalt thou say to the children of Is- 
 rael, Jehovah God of your fathers, the God 
 of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God 
 of Jacob, hath sent me to you : this is *my 
 name for ever, and this is my memorial to 
 all generations. 
 
 16 Go, and "gather the elders of Israel 
 together, and say to them, Jehowh God 
 of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of 
 Isaac, and of Jacob, 'hath' appeared to 
 me, saying, *I have surely visited you, and 
 seen that which is done to you in Egypt : 
 
 17 And I have said, C I will bring you up 
 out of the affliction of Egypt, to the land 
 of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and 
 the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the 
 Hivites, and the Jebusites, to a land flow- 
 ing with milk and honey. 
 
 18 And d they shall hearken to thy voice ; 
 and 'thou shalt come, thou and the elders 
 of Israel, to the king of Egypt, and ye 
 shall say to him, Jehovah God of the He- 
 brews hath ■'met with us ; and now let us 
 go (we beseech thee) three days' journey 
 into the 5 desert, that Ave may sacrifice to 
 Jehovah our God. 
 
 19 If And I am sure that the king of 
 Egypt ewill not let you go, || 6 except by a 
 mighty hand. 
 
 20 'For I will A stretch out my hand, and 
 smite Egypt with 'all my wonders which I 
 will do in the midst thereof: and *after 
 that he will let you go. 
 
 21 And ' I will give this people favour in 
 the sight of the Egyptians: and it shall 
 come to pass, that, when ye go, ye shall 
 not go empty : 
 
 22 "But every woman shall borrow of her 
 neighbour, and of her that sojourneth in 
 her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of 
 gold, and raiment : and ye shall put them 
 upon your sons, and upon your daughters: 
 and n ye shall spoil ||the Egyptians.

 Moses receiveth signs from God. 
 
 appointed to assist him. 18 Moses departeth from 
 Jethro. 21 God's message to Pharaoh. 24 Zippo- 
 rah circumciseth her son. 27 Aaron is sent to meet 
 Moses. 31 The people believeth them. 
 
 AND Moses answered and said, But, 
 behold, they will not believe me, nor 
 hearken to my voice: for they will say, 
 Jehovah hath not appeared to thee. 
 
 2 And Jehovah said to him, What is that 
 in thy hand ? And he said, °A rod. 
 
 3 And he said, Cast it on the ground- 
 And he cast it on the ground, and it be- 
 came a serpent : and Moses fled from be- 
 fore it. 
 
 4 And Jehovah said to Moses, Put forth 
 thy hand, and take it by the tail. And he 
 put forth his hand, and caught it, and it 
 became a rod in his hand : 
 
 5 That they may 'believe that 'Jehovah 
 God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, 
 the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, 
 hath appeared to thee. 
 
 6 If And Jehovah said furthermore to 
 him, Put now thy hand into thy bosom. 
 And he put his hand into his bosom : and 
 when he took it out, behold, his hand was 
 leprous '"like snow. 
 
 7 And he said, Put thy hand into thy 
 bosom again. And he put his hand into 
 his bosom again, and drew it out of his 
 bosom, and behold, e it was turned again as 
 his other flesh. 
 
 8 And it shall come to pass, if they will 
 not believe thee, neither hearken to the 
 voice of the first sign, that they will be- 
 lieve the voice of the latter sign. 
 
 9 And it shall come to pass, if they will 
 not believe also these two signs, neither 
 hearken to thy voice, that thou shalt 
 take 'some' of the water of the river, 
 and pour it upon the dry land: and ■'"the 
 water which thou takest out of the river, 
 t 2 it shall even become blood upon the dry 
 land. 
 
 10 f And Moses said to Jehovah, O my 
 Lord, I am not teloquent, neither thereto- 
 fore, nor since thou hast spoken to thy 
 servant : but g l am slow of speech, and of 
 a slow tongue. 
 
 11 And Jehovah said to him, A Who hath 
 made man's mouth? or who maketh the 
 dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind ? 
 have not I Jehovah ? 
 
 12 Now therefore go, and I will be 'with 
 thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt 
 say. 
 
 13 And he said, O my Lord, *send, I pray 
 thee, by the hand of him whom thou fwilt 
 send. 
 
 14 And the anger of Jehovah was kin- 
 dled against Moses, and he said, Is not 
 Aaron the Levite thy brother? I know 
 that he can speak well. And also, behold, 
 1 he cometh forth to meet thee : and when 
 he seeth thee, he will be glad in his heart. 
 
 15 And m thou shalt speak to him, and 
 "put words in his mouth: and I will be 
 with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and 
 "will teach you what ye shall do. 
 
 16 And he shall 3 speak for thee to the 
 people : and he shall be, even he shall be 
 to thee instead of a mouth, and ^thou shalt 
 be to him instead of God. 
 
 17 And thou shalt take 'this rod in thy 
 hand, with which thou shalt do signs. 
 
 18 If And Moses went, and returned to 
 
Moses returneth to Egypt. 
 
 tJethro his father-in-law, and said to him, 
 Let me go, I pray thee, and return to my 
 brethren who are in Egypt, and see whe- 
 ther they 4 are yet alive. And Jethro said 
 to Moses, Go in peace. 
 
 19 And Jehovah said to Moses in Midi- 
 an, Go, return into Egypt: for r all the 
 men are dead who sought thy life. 
 
 20 And Moses took his wife, and his 
 sons, and set them upon an ass, and he 
 returned to the land of Egypt. And Mo- 
 ses took 'the rod of God in his hand. 
 
 21 And Jehovah said to Moses, When 
 thou goest to return into Egypt, see that 
 thou do all those 'wonders before Pharaoh 
 which I have put in thy hand : but "I will 
 harden his heart 'so' that he 6 will not let 
 the people go. 
 
 22 And thou shalt say to Pharaoh, Thus 
 saith Jehovah, 'Israel is my son, ''even my 
 first-born. 
 
 23 And I say to thee, Let my son go, 
 that he may serve me : and if thou refuse 
 to let him go, behold, "I will slay thy son, 
 even thy first-born. 
 
 24 If And it came to pass by the way in 
 the inn, that Jehovah "met him, and sought 
 to 'kill him. 
 
 25 Then Zipporah took c a sharp ||stone, 
 and cut off the foreskin of her son, and 
 tcast it at his feet, and said, Surely a 
 bloody husband art thou to me. 
 
 26 So he let him go: then she said, A 
 bloody husband thou art, because of the 
 circumcision. 
 
 _ 27 If And Jehovah said to Aaron, Go 
 into the 6 desert d to meet Moses. And he 
 went, and met him 7 at 'the mount of God, 
 and kissed him. 
 
 28 And Moses -told Aaron all the words 
 of Jehovah who had sent him, and all the 
 'signs which he had commanded him. 
 
 29 If And Moses and Aaron "went, and 
 gathered together all the elders of the 
 children of Israel. s 
 
 SO And Aaron spoke all the words which 
 Jehovah had spoken to Moses, and did the 
 signs in the sight of the people. 
 
 31 And the people 'believed : and when 
 they heard that Jehovah had 'visited the 
 children of Israel, and that he m had looked 
 upon their affliction, then "they bowed 
 their heads and worshipped. 
 
 CHAPTER V. 
 
 1 Pharaoh chideth Moses and Aaron for their mes- 
 sage. 5 He increaseth the Israelites' task. 15 He 
 checketh their complaints. 19 They cry out upon 
 Moses and Aaron. 22 Moses complaineth to 
 God. 
 
 AND afterward Moses and Aaron went 
 in, and told Pharaoh, Thus saith Je- 
 hovah God of Israel, Let my people go, 
 that they may hold "a feast to me in the 
 'desert. 
 
 2 And Pharaoh said, 'Who is Jehovah, 
 that I should obey his voice to let Israel 
 go ? I know not Jehovah, 'neither will I 
 let Israel so. 
 
 3 And they said, The God of the He- 
 brews hath met with us : let us go, we 
 pray thee, three days' journey into the 
 desert, and sacrifice to Jehovah our God; 
 lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or 
 with the sword.

 5 And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people 
 of the land now are Anany, and ye make 
 them rest from their burdens. 
 
 6 And Pharaoh commanded the same day 
 the ^taskmasters of the people, and their 
 officers, saying, 
 
 7 Ye shall no more give the people straw 
 to make brick, as heretofore : let them go 
 and gather straw for themselves. 
 
 8 And the 4 number of the bricks which 
 they did make heretofore, ye shall lay upon 
 them j ye shall not diminish 6 any thing 
 thereof: for they e are idle ; therefore they 
 cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our 
 God. 
 
 9 tLet there more work be laid upon the 
 men, that they may labour therein: and 
 let them not regard 7 false words. 
 
 10 ^f And the taskmasters of the people 
 went out, and their officers, and they 
 spoke to the people, saying, Thus saith 
 Pharaoh, I will not give you straw. 
 
 11 Go ye, get you straw where ye can 
 find it: yet not 8 any part of your work 
 shall be diminished. 
 
 12 So the people were scattered abroad 
 throughout all the land of Egypt, to gather 
 stubble instead of straw. 
 > 13 And the taskmasters hasted them, say- 
 ing, Fulfil your works, your tdaily tasks, 
 as when there was straw. 
 
 14 And the officers of the children of 
 Israel, whom Pharaoh's taskmasters had 
 set over them, were beaten, and 9 asked, 
 Wherefore have ye not fulfilled your task 
 in making brick, both yesterday and to- 
 day, as heretofore ? 
 
 15 *f Then the officers of the children of 
 Israel came and cried to Pharaoh, saying, 
 Wherefore dealest thou thus with thy ser- 
 vants ? 
 
 16 There is no straw given to thy ser- 
 vants, and they say to us, Make brick: 
 and behold, thy servants are beaten ; but 
 the fault is in thine own people. 
 
 17 But he said, Ye are idle, ye are idle : 
 therefore ye say, Let us go, and do sacri- 
 fice to Jehovah. 
 
 18 Go therefore now, and work: for there 
 shall no straw be given you, yet shall ye 
 deliver the '"number of bricks. 
 
 19 And the officers of the children of 
 Israel did see that they were in ' an' evil 
 case, after it was said, Ye shall not "di- 
 minish at all the number of bricks of your 
 daily task. 
 
 20 If And they met Moses and Aaron, 
 who stood in the way, as they came forth 
 from Pharaoh : 
 
 21 "And they said to them, Jehovah look 
 upon you, and judge; because ye have 
 made ,2 us tto be abhorred in the "sight of 
 Pharaoh, and in the w sight of his servants, 
 I5 by putting a sword in their hand to slay 
 us. 
 
 22 And Moses returned to Jehovah, and 
 said, Lord, wherefore hast thou so 16 ill- 
 treated this people? why is it that thou 
 hast sent me r 
 
 23 For since I came to Pharaoh to speak 
 in thy name, he hath done evil to this 
 people: tneither hast thou delivered thy 
 people at all.

God reneweth his promise. 
 
 CHAPTER VI. 
 
 1 God reneweth his promise by his name JEHOVAH. 
 14 The genealogy of Reuben, 15 of Simeon, 16 of 
 Levi, of whom came Moses and Aaron. 
 
 THEN Jehovah said to Moses, Now 
 shalt thou see what I will do to Pha- 
 raoh : for "with a strong hand shall he let 
 them go, and with a strong hand ''shall he 
 drive them out of his land. 
 
 2 And God spoke to Moses, and said to 
 him, I am Jehovah : 
 
 3 And I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, 
 and to Jacob by the name of c God Almighty, 
 but by my name ''JEHOVAH was I not 
 known to them. 
 
 4 'And I have also established my cove- 
 nant with them, ■%> give them the land 
 of Canaan, the land of their Sojourning, 
 wherein they were strangers. 
 
 5 And e I have also heard the groaning 
 of the children of Israel, whom the Egyp- 
 tians keep in bondage : and I have remem- 
 bered my covenant. 
 
 6 Wherefore say to the children of Is- 
 rael, *I am Jehovah, and 'I will bring you 
 out from under the burdens of the Egyp- 
 tians, and I will 2 deliver you from their 
 bondage, and I will 'redeem you with a 
 stretched-out arm, and with great judg- 
 ments : 
 
 7 And I will 'take you to 3 myself for a 
 people, and "*I will be to you a God : and 
 ye shall know that I am Jehovah your 
 God, who bringeth you out "from under 
 the burdens of the Egyptians. 
 
 8 And I will bring you in to the land, 
 concerning the which I did t "swear to 
 give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Ja- 
 cob ; and I will give it you for a heritage : 
 I am Jehovah. 
 
 9 If And Moses 4 spoke thus to the child- 
 ren of Israel : 'but they hearkened not to 
 Moses, for languish of spirit, and for cruel 
 bondage. 
 
 10 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 
 
 11 Go, 5 speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt, 
 that he let the children of Israel go out of 
 his land. 
 
 12 And Moses spoke before Jehovah, 
 saying, Behold, the children of Israel 
 have 'not hearkened to me; how then 
 shall Pharaoh hear me, 'who am of uncir- 
 cumcised lips ? 
 
 13 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, and to 
 Aaron, and gave them a charge to the 
 children of Israel, and to Pharaoh king 
 of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel

 The genealogy of Levi. 
 
 the years of the life of Kohath were a 
 hundred thirty and three years. 
 
 19 And z the sons of Merari ; Mahali and 
 Mushi : these are the families of Levi, ac- 
 cording to their generations. 
 
 20 And "Amram took him Jochebed his 
 father's sister to wife ; and she bore him 
 Aaron and Moses. And the years of the 
 life of Amram were a hundred and thirty 
 and seven years. 
 
 21 If And 'the sons of Izhar ; Korah, and 
 Nepheg, and Zichri. 
 
 22 And c the sons of Uzziel ; Mishael, 
 and Elzaphan, and Zithri. 
 
 23 And Aaron took him Elisheba daugh- 
 ter of d Amminadab, sister of Naashon to 
 wife ; and she bore him 'Nadab and Abi- 
 hu, Eleazar and Ithamar. 
 
 24 And the * sons of Korah ; Assir, and 
 Elkanah, and Abiasaph : these are the fa- 
 milies of the Korhites. 
 
 25 And Eleazar, Aaron's son, took him 
 one of the daughters of Putiel Hor a wife ; 
 and ? she bore him Phinehas : these are the 
 heads of the fathers of the Levites, accord- 
 ing to their families. 
 
 26 These are that Aaron and Moses, *to 
 whom Jehovah said, Bring out the child- 
 ren of Israel from the land of Egypt ac- 
 cording to their 'armies. 
 
 27 These are they who *spoke to Pharaoh 
 king of Egypt, 'to bring out the children 
 of Israel from Egypt : these are that Mo- 
 ses and Aaron. 
 
 28 If And it came to pass on the day when 
 Jehovah spoke to Moses in the land of 
 Egypt, 
 
 29 That Jehovah spoke to Moses, say- 
 ing, m I am Jehovah : "speak thou to Pha- 
 raoh king of* Egypt all that I say to thee. 
 
 30 And Moses said before Jehovah, Be- 
 hold, °I am of uncircumcised lips, and how 
 shall Pharaoh hearken to me ? 
 
 CHAPTER VII. 
 
 1 Moses is encouraged to go to Pharaoh. 7 His age. 
 8 His rod is turned into a serpent. 1 1 The sor- 
 cerers do the like. 13 Pharaoh's heart is harden- 
 ed. 14 God's message to Pharaoh. 19 The river 
 is turned into blood. 
 
 AND Jehovah said to Moses, See, I have 
 made thee al a god to Pharaoh: and 
 Aaron thy brother shall be 'thy prophet. 
 
 2 Thou c shalt speak all that I command 
 thee : and Aaron thy brother shall speak 
 to Pharaoh, that he send the children of 
 Israel out of his land. 
 
 3 And d I will harden Pharaoh's heart, 
 and 'multiply my f signs and my wonders 
 in the land of Egypt. 
 
 4 But Pharaoh *will not hearken to you, 
 e that I may lay my hand upon Egypt, and 
 bring forth mine armies, and my people 
 the children of Israel out of the land of 
 Egypt, ft by great judgments.. 
 
 5 And the Egyptians 'shall know that I 
 am Jehovah, when I *stretch forth my 
 hand upon Egypt, and bring out the child- 
 ren of Israel from among them. 
 
 6 And Moses and Aaron 'did as Jehovah 
 commanded them, so did they. 
 
 7 And Moses was "fourscore years old, 
 and Aaron fourscore and three years old, 
 when they spoke to Pharaoh. 
 
 8 If And Jehovah spoke to Moses, and to 
 Aaron, saying, 
 
The river is turned into blood. 
 
 9 When Pharaoh shall speak to you, say- 
 ing, "Shew a miracle for you : then thou 
 shalt say to Aaron, "Take thy rod, and cast 
 it before Pharaoh, and it shall become a 
 serpent. 
 
 10 If And Moses and Aaron went in to 
 Pharaoh, and they did 3 'as Jehovah had 
 commanded : And Aaron cast down his 
 rod before Pharaoh, and before his ser- 
 vants, and it 'became a serpent. 
 
 11 Then Pharaoh also 'called the wise 
 men, and 'the sorcerers : now the magi- 
 cians of Egypt, they also 'did in like man- 
 ner with their enchantments. 
 
 12 For they cast down 4 each man his rod, 
 and they became serpents : but Aaron's 
 rod swallowed up their rods. 
 
 13 And he hardened Pharaoh's heart ' so' 
 that he hearkened not to them ; "as Jeho- 
 vah had said. 
 
 14 If And Jehovah said to Moses, 'Pha- 
 raoh's heart is hardened, he refuseth to let 
 the people go. 
 
 15 5 Go to Pharaoh in the morning; lo, 
 he goeth out to the water, and thou shalt 
 stand by the river's brink 6 to meet him : 
 and "the rod which was turned to a serpent 
 shalt thou take in thy hand. 
 
 16 And thou shalt say to him, * Jehovah 
 God of the Hebrews hath sent me to thee, 
 saying, Let my people go, a that they may 
 serve me in the 'desert : and behold, hi- 
 therto thou wouldest not hear. 
 
 17 Thus saith Jehovah, 8 By this thou 
 shalt know that I am Jehovah: behold, I 
 will smite with the rod that is in my hand 
 upon the waters which are in the river, and 
 'they shall be turned d to blood. 
 
 18 And the fish that 9 «re in the river shall 
 die, and the river shall 10 become putrid: and 
 the Egyptians shall 'loathe to drink of the 
 water of the river. 
 
 19 If And Jehovah spoke to Moses, Say 
 to Aaron, Take thy rod, and ' stretch out 
 thy hand upon the waters of Egypt, upon 
 their streams, upon their rivers, and upon 
 their ponds, and upon all their t "collec- 
 tions of water, that they may become blood : 
 and that there may be blood throughout 
 all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of 
 wood, and in vessels of stone. 
 
 20 And Moses and Aaron did so, as Je- 
 hovah commanded ; and he ^lifted up the 
 rod and smote the waters that were in the 
 river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the 
 sight of his servants ; and all the ^waters 
 that were in the river were turned into 
 blood. 
 
 21 And the fish that n were in the river 
 died ; and the river "became putrid, and the 
 Egyptians { could not drink of the water of 
 the river ; and there was blood throughout 
 all the land of Egypt. 
 
 22 *And the magicians of Egypt did so 
 with their enchantments : and Pharaoh's 
 heart was hardened, neither did he hearken 
 to them ; 'as Jehovah had said. 
 
 23 And Pharaoh turned and went into 
 his house, neither did he "give heed even 
 to this. 
 
 24 And all the Egyptians digged round 
 about the river for water to drink ; for 
 they could not drink of the water of the 
 river. 
 
 25 And seven days were fulfilled after 
 that Jehovah had smitten the river

 The plagues of frogs and lice. 
 CHAPTER VIII. 
 
 1 Frogs are sent. 8 Pharaoh 'entreateth Moses, 12 
 and Moses by prayer removeth them away. 16 The 
 dust is turned into lice, which the magicians could 
 not do. 20 T7te swarms of flies. 25 Pharaoh in- 
 clineth to let the people go, 32 but yet is hardened. 
 
 AND Jehovah spoke to Moses, Go to 
 Pharaoh, and say to him, Thus saith 
 Jehovah, Let my people go "that they may 
 serve me. 
 
 2 And if thou 'refuse to let them go, be- 
 hold, I will smite all thy Regions with 
 frogs : 
 
 3 And the river shall bring forth frogs 
 abundantly, which shall go up and come 
 into thy house, and into "thy bed-chamber, 
 and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy 
 servants, and upon thy people, and into 
 thine ovens, and into thy ||kneading 3 bowls : 
 
 4 And the frogs shall come up both on 
 thee, and upon thy people, and upon all 
 thy servants. 
 
 5 If And Jehovah spoke to Moses, Say 
 to Aaron, 'Stretch forth thy hand with thy 
 rod over the streams, over the rivers, and 
 over the ponds, and cause frogs to come 
 up upon the land of Egypt. 
 
 6 And Aaron stretched out his hand over 
 the waters of Egypt ; and f the frogs came 
 up, and covered the land of Egypt. 
 
 7 s And the magicians did so with their 
 enchantments, and brought up frogs upon 
 the land of Egypt. 
 
 8 ^ Then Pharaoh called for Moses and 
 Aaron, and said, *Entreat Jehovah that he 
 may take away the frogs from me, and from 
 my people : and I will let the people go, 
 that they may 4 sacrifice to Jehovah. 
 
 9 And Moses said to Pharaoh, Glory over 
 me: ||when shall I entreat for thee and 
 for thy servants, and for thy people, tto 
 destroy the frogs from thee, and thy houses, 
 that they may remain in the river only ? 
 
 10 And he said, ||To-morrow. And he 
 said, Be it according to thy word; that 
 thou mayest know thatWiere is no onelike 
 Jehovah our God. 
 
 11 And the frogs shall depart from thee, 
 and from thy houses, and from thy servants, 
 and from thy people ; they shall remain in 
 the river only. 
 
 12 And Moses and Aaron went out from 
 Pharaoh: and Moses *cried to Jehovah, 
 because of the frogs which he had brought 
 against Pharaoh. 
 
 13 And Jehovah did according to the 
 word of Moses : and the frogs died out of 
 the houses, out of the villages, and out of 
 the fields. 
 
 14 And they gathered them 6 into many 
 heaps: and the land 7 had an offensive 
 odour. 
 
 15 But when Pharaoh saw that there 
 was ' respite, m he hardened his heart, and 
 hearkened not to them ; as Jehovah had 
 said. 
 
 16 If And Jehovah said to Moses, Say to 
 Aaron, Stretch out thy rod, and smite the 
 dust of the land, that it may become 9 lice 
 throughout all the land of Egypt. 
 
 17 And they did so ; for Aaron stretched 
 out his hand with his rod, and smote the. 
 dust of the earth, and "it became lice l0 on 
 man and "on beast: all the dust of the 
 land became lice throughout all the land 
 of Egypt. 
 
 45 
 
The plague of flies. 
 
 18 And "the magicians did so with their 
 enchantments to bring forth lice, but they 
 p could not: so there were lice upon man, 
 and upon beast. 
 
 19 Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, 
 This is 'the finger of God : and Pharaoh's 
 'heart was hardened, and he hearkened 
 not to them ; as Jehovah had said. 
 
 20 If And Jehovah said to Moses, 'Rise 
 up early in the morning, and stand before 
 Pharaoh; (lo, he cometh forth to the wa- 
 ter;) and say to him, Thus saith Jehovah, 
 'Let my people go, that they may serve me : 
 
 21 12 But, if thou wilt not let my people 
 go, behold, I will send ||swarms of flies 
 upon thee, and upon thy servants, and 
 upon thy people, and into thy houses: 
 and the houses of the Egyptians shall be 
 full of swarms of flies, and also the ground 
 whereon they are. 
 
 22 And "I will "separate in that day the 
 land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, 
 ' so' that no swarms of flies shall be there ; 
 to the end thou mayest know that I am 
 Jehovah in the midst of the earth. 
 
 23 And I will put ta division between 
 my people and thy people: || to-morrow 
 shall this sign be. 
 
 24 And Jehovah did so : and "there came 
 a grievous swarm of flies into the house of 
 Pharaoh, and into his servants' houses, 
 and into all the land of Egypt : the land 
 was Hcorrupted by reason of the swarm of 
 flies. 
 
 25 If And Pharaoh called for Moses, and 
 for Aaron, and said, Go ye, sacrifice to 
 your God in the land. 
 
 26 And Moses said, It is not "proper so 
 to do ; for we shall sacrifice "the abomina- 
 tion of the Egyptians to Jehovah our God : 
 Lo, shall we sacrifice the abomination of 
 the Egyptians before their eyes, and will 
 they not stone us ? 
 
 27 We will go 'three days' journey into 
 the l5 desert, and sacrifice to Jehovah our 
 God, as "he shall command us. 
 
 28 And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, 
 that ye may sacrifice to Jehovah your God 
 in the 16 desert ; only ye shall not go very 
 far away: 'entreat for me. 
 
 29 And Moses said, Behold, I go out 
 from thee, and I will entreat Jehovah 
 that the swarms of flies may depart from 
 Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his 
 people, to-morrow: but let not Pharaoh 
 c deal deceitfully any more, l7 by not letting 
 the people go to sacrifice to Jehovah. 
 
 30 And Moses went out from Pharaoh, 
 and ^entreated Jehovah : 
 
 31 And Jehovah did according to the 
 word of Moses ; and he removed the 
 swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his 
 servants, and from his people; there re- 
 mained not one. 
 
 32 And Pharaoh 'hardened his heart at 
 this time also, neither would he let the 
 peopte go.

 blisters. 13 His message about the hail. 22 The 
 plague of hail. 27 Pharaoh 2 entreateth Moses, 
 35 but yet is hardened. 
 
 THEN Jehovah said to Moses, "Go 3 to 
 Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith Je- 
 hovah God of the Hebrews, Let my peo- 
 ple go, that they may serve me.

 shall be a very grievous murrain. 
 
 4 And ^Jehovah shall Separate between

 and there shall nothing die of all that is

 the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it to- 
 wards the heaven in the sight of Pharaoh. 
 
 9 And it shall become small dust in all 
 the land of Egypt, and shall be ? a 6 boil 
 breaking forth with 'blisters upon man, 
 and upon beast, throughout all the land of 
 Egypt. 
 
 10 And they took ashes of the furnace, 
 and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses 
 sprinkled it up towards heaven: and it 
 became ''a 8 boil breaking forth with 'blis- 
 ters upon man, and upon beast. 
 
 11 And the 'magicians could not stand 
 before. Moses, because of the I0 boil : for 
 the "boil was upon the magicians, and 
 upon all the Egyptians. 
 
 12 And Jehovah hardened the heart of 
 Pharaoh, and he hearkened not to them ; 
 as Jehovah had spoken to Moses. 
 
 13 f And Jehovah said to Moses, 'Rise 
 up early in the morning, and stand before 
 Pharaoh, and say to him, Thus saith Jeho- 
 vah God of the Hebrews, Let my people 
 go, that they may serve me. 
 
 14 For I will at this time send all my 
 plagues upon thy heart, and upon thy ser- 
 vants, and upon thy people: m that thou 
 mayest know that there is none like me in 
 all the earth. 
 
 15 For now I will "stretch out my hand, 
 that I may smite thee and thy people with 
 pestilence ; and thou shalt be cut off" from 
 the earth. 
 
 16 And in very deed for "this cause have 
 I traised thee up, to shew i2 by thee my 
 power; and that my name may be declared 
 throughout all the earth. 
 
 17 As yet ls opposest thou thyself against 
 my people, that thou wilt not let them go? 
 
 18 Behold, to-morrow about this time I 
 will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, 
 such as hath not been in Egypt since the 
 foundation thereof even until now. 
 
 19 Send therefore now, and gather thy 
 cattle, and all that thou hast in the field : 
 for upon every man and beast which shall 
 be found in the field, and shall not be 
 brought home, the hail shall come down 
 upon them, and they shall die. 
 
 20 He that feared the word of Jehovah 
 among the servants of Pharaoh made his 
 servants and his cattle flee into the houses • 
 
The plague of hail. 
 
 21 And he that tregarded not the word 
 of Jehovah left his servants and his cattle 
 in the field. 
 
 22 If And Jehovah said to Moses, Stretch 
 forth thy hand towards heaven, that there 
 may be p hail in all the land of Egypt, upon 
 man, and upon beast, and upon every herb 
 of the field, throughout the land of Egypt. 
 
 23 And Moses stretched forth Ids rod 
 towards heaven, and-«jEH0VAH sent thun- 
 der and hail, and the fire ran along upon 
 the ground : and Jehovah rained hail upon 
 the land of Egypt. 
 
 24 So there was hail, and fire mingled 
 with the hail, very grievous, such as there 
 had been none like it in all the land of 
 Egypt since it became a nation. 
 
 25 And the hail smote throughout all the 
 land of Egypt all that was in the field, 
 both man and beast, and the hail r smote 
 every herb of the field and broke every 
 tree of the field. 
 
 26 'Only in the land of Goshen, where 
 the children of Israel were, was there no 
 hail. 
 
 27 If And Pharaoh sent and called for 
 Moses and Aaron, and said to them, 'I 
 have sinned this time : "Jehovah is right- 
 eous, and I and my people are wicked. 
 
 28 'Entreat Jehovah (for it is enough) 
 that there be no more tmighty thunderings 
 and hail ; and I will let you go, and ye 
 shall stay no longer. 
 
 29 And Moses said to him, As soon as I 
 shall have gone out of the city, I will 
 "spread abroad my hands to Jehovah; and 
 the thunder shall cease, neither shall there 
 be any more hail ; that thou mayest know 
 that the z earth is Jehovah's. 
 
 30 But as for thee and thy servants, a I 
 know that ye will not yet fear Jehovah 
 God. 
 
 31 And the flax and the barley is were 
 smitten : 'for the barley was in the ear, 
 and the flax was ,6 in the flower. 
 
 32 But the wheat and the rye were not 
 smitten : for they were tnot grown up. 
 
 33 And Moses went out of the city from 
 Pharaoh, and 'spread abroad his hands to 
 Jehovah : and the thunders and hail ceased, 
 and the rain was not poured upon the 
 earth. 
 
 34 And when Pharaoh saw that the rain 
 and the hail and the thunders had ceased, 
 he sinned yet more, and hardened his 
 heart, he and his servants. 
 
 35 And d the heart of Pharaoh was harden- 
 ed, neither would he let the children of 
 Israel go; as Jehovah had spoken tby 
 Moses.

 AND Jehovah said to Moses, Go 2 to 
 Pharaoh: "for I have hardened his 
 heart, and the heart of his servants ; 'that 
 I might shew these my signs before him : 
 
 2 And that 'thou mayest tell in the bear- 
 ing of thy son, and of thy son's son, what 
 things I have wrought in Egypt, and my 
 signs which I have done among them ; that

 raoh, and said to him, Thus saith Jehovah 
 God of the Hebrews, How long wilt thou 
 refuse to d humble thyself before me ? Let 
 my people go, that they may serve me. 
 
 4 5 But, if thou refuse to let my people 
 go, behold, to-morrow will I bring the 
 "'locusts into thy 'territory : 
 
 5 And they shall cover the tface of the 
 earth, ' so' that one cannot be able to see 
 the earth : and •''they shall eat the residue 
 of that which is escaped, which remaineth 
 to you from the hail, and shall eat every 
 tree which grovveth for you out of the field : 
 
 6 And they *shall fill thy houses, and the 
 houses of all thy servants, and the houses 
 of all the Egyptians ; which neither thy 
 fathers, nor thy fathers' fathers have seen, 
 since the day that they were upon the 
 earth to this day. And he turned himself, 
 and went out from Pharaoh. 
 
 7 And Pharaoh's servants said to him, 
 How long shall this man be A a snare to us? 
 Let the men go, that they may serve Je- 
 hovah their God : Knowest thou not yet 
 that Egypt is destroyed ? 
 
 8 And Moses and Aaron were brought 
 again to Pharaoh : and he said to them, 
 Go, serve Jehovah your God : but twho 
 are they that shall go ? _ 
 
 9 And Moses said, "We will go with our 
 young and with our old, with our sons and 
 with our daughters, with our flocks and 
 with our herds will we go : for *'we must 
 hold a feast to Jehovah. 
 
 10 And he said to them, Let Jehovah be 
 so with you, as I will let you go, and your 
 little ones: look to it ; for evil is before 
 you. 
 
 11 Not so : go now ye that are men, and 
 serve Jehovah; for that ye desired. And 
 they were driven out from Pharoah's pre- 
 sence. 
 
 12 ^ And Jehovah said to Moses, *Stretch 
 out thy hand over the land of Egypt for the 
 locusts, that they may come up upon the 
 land of Egypt, and 'eat every herb of the 
 land, even all that the hail hath left. 
 
 13 And Moses stretched forth his rod 
 over the land of Egypt, and Jehovah 
 brought an east wind '[over the land all 
 that day, and all that night : and when it 
 was morning, the east wind brought the 
 locusts. 
 
 14 And m the locusts went up over all the 
 land of Egypt, and rested in all the Re- 
 gions of Egypt : very grievous were they ; 
 "before them there were no such locusts 
 as they, neither after them shall be such. 
 
 15 For they "covered the face of the whole 
 earth, so that the land was darkened; and 
 they p did eat every herb of the land, and 
 all the fruit of the trees which the hail had 
 left: and there remained not any green 
 thing 10 among the trees, or "among the 
 herbs of the field, through all the land of 
 Egypt. 
 
 16 ^ Then Pharaoh tcalled for Moses and 
 Aaron in haste ; and he said, 'I have sin- 
 ned against Jehovah your God, and against 
 you. 
 
 17 Now therefore forgive, I pray thee, 
 my sin only this once, and 'entreat Jeho- 
 vah your God that he may take away from 
 me this death only. 
 
 18 And he 'went out from Pharaoh, and 
 entreated Jehovah. 
 
 47 
 
The plague of darkness. 
 
 19 And Jehovah turned a mighty strong 
 west wind which '^carried away the lo- 
 custs, and "drove them 'into the Red sea: 
 there remained not one locust in all the 
 "regions of Egypt. 
 
 20 But Jehovah "hardened Pharaoh's 
 heart, so that he would not let the children 
 of Israel go. 
 
 21 If Ana Jehovah said to Moses, *Stretch 
 out thy hand towards heaven, that there 
 may be darkness over the land of Egypt, 
 teven darkness which may be felt. 
 
 22 And Moses stretched forth his hand 
 towards heaven : and there was a "thick 
 darkness in all the land of Egypt three 
 days : 
 
 23 They saw not one another, neither 
 rose any from his place for three days : 
 'but all the children of Israel had light in 
 their dwellings. 
 
 24 ^f And Pharaoh called to Moses, and 
 "said, Go ye, serve Jehovah : only let your 
 flocks and your herds 15 stay : let your 
 *little ones also go with you. 
 
 25 And Moses said, Thou must give tus 
 also sacrifices, and burnt-offerings, that 
 we may sacrifice to Jehovah our God. 
 
 26 Our cattle also shall go with us ; there 
 shall not a hoof be left behind : for there- 
 of must we take to serve Jehovah our 
 God ; and we know not with what we 
 must serve Jehovah, until we come thither. 
 
 27 If But Jehovah 'hardened Pharaoh's 
 heart, and he would not let them go. 
 
 28 And Pharaoh said to him, 16 Go from 
 me, take heed to thyself, see my face no 
 more : for in that day thou seest my face, 
 thou shalt die. 
 
 29 And Moses said, Thou hast spoken 
 well, d I will see thy face again no more. 
 
 CHAPTER XI. 
 
 I God's message to the Israelites to ask jewels of 
 their neighbours. 4 Moses threateneth Pharaoh 
 with the death of the first-born. 
 
 A ND Jehovah said to Moses, Yet will 
 -*■*- I bring one plague more upon Pha- 
 raoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he will 
 let you go hence: "when he shall let you 
 go, he snail surely thrust you out hence 
 altogether. 
 
 2 Speak now in the 'hearing of the peo- 
 
 Ele, and let every man ask of his neigh- 
 our, and every woman of her neighbour, 
 'jewels of silver, and jewels of gold. 
 
 3 c And Jehovah gave the people favour 
 in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover, 
 the man^Moses was very great in the land 
 of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh's ser- 
 vants, and in the sight of the people. 
 
 4 And Moses said. Thus saith Jehovah, 
 'About midnight will I go out into the 
 midst of Egypt : 
 
 5 And 'all the first-born in the land of 
 Egypt shall die, from the first-born of 
 Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even 
 to the first-born of the maid-servant that 
 is behind the 2 mill ; and all the first-born 
 of beasts. 
 
 6 e And there shall be a great cry throughout 
 all the land of Egypt, such as there hath been 
 none like it, nor shall be like it any more. 
 
 7 "But against any of the children of Is- 
 rael 'shall not a dog 3 point his tongue, 
 against man or beast : that ye may know 
 that Jehovah doth put a difference be- 
 tween the Egyptians and Israel.

 1 The beginning of the year is changed. 3 The pass- 
 over is instituted. 11 The rite of the passover. 
 15 Unleavened bread. 29 The first-born are slain. 
 31 The Israelites are driven out of the land. 37 
 They come to Succoth. 43 The ordinance of the

 AND Jehovah spoke to Moses and 
 Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, 
 
 2 "This month shall be to you the begin- 
 ning of months : it shall be the first month 
 of the year to you. 
 
 3 If Speak ye to all the congregation of 
 Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this 
 month they shall take to them every man 
 a Hlamb according to the house of their fa- 
 thers, a lamb for a house : 
 
 4 And if the household be too small for 
 the lamb, let him and his neighbour next 
 to his house take it according to the num- 
 ber of the 'persons : 2 each man according 
 to his eating shall make your count for the 
 lamb. 
 
 5 Your lamb shall be 'without blemish, a 
 male tof the first year: ye shall take it out 
 from the sheep or from the goats : 
 
 6 And ye shall keep it up until the "four- 
 teenth day of the same month: and the 
 whole assembly of the congregation of Is- 
 rael shall kill it tin the evening. 
 
 7 And they shall take ' some' of the blood, 
 and strike it on the two side-posts, and on 
 the ^lintel of the houses, wherein they shall 
 eat it. 
 
 8 And they shall eat the flesh in that night, 
 Coasted with fire, and ^unleavened bread ; 
 and with bitter herbs they shall eat it. 
 
 9 Eat not of it raw, nor 5 boiled at all 
 with water, but 6 roasted with fire; his 
 head with his legs, and with 7 his inwards. 
 
 10 'And ye shall let nothing of it remain 
 until the morning : and that which remain - 
 eth of it until the morning ye shall burn 
 with fire. 
 
 11 If And thus shall ye eat it; with your 
 loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and 
 your staff in your hand : and ye shall eat 
 it in haste ; *it is Jehovah's passover. 
 
 12 For I *will pass through the land ot 
 Egypt this night, and will smite all the 
 first-born in the land of Egypt, both man 
 and beast: and 'against all the || 8 gods of 
 Egypt I will execute judgment: *I am Je- 
 hovah. 
 
 IS And the blood shall be to you for a 
 token upon the houses where ye are: and 
 when I see the blood, I will pass over you, 
 and the plague shall not be upon you tto 
 destroy you, when I smite the land of 
 Egypt. 
 
 14 And this day shall be to you 'for a 
 
The first-bom of Egypt slain. 
 
 memorial ; and ye shall keep it a "'feast to 
 Jehovah throughout your generations : ve 
 shall keep it a feast "by an ordinance for 
 ever. 
 
 15 "Seven days shall ye eat unleavened 
 bread; even the first day ye shall put away 
 leaven out of your houses : for whosoever 
 eateth leavened bread, from the first day 
 until the seventh day, 'that 9 person shall 
 be cut oflf from Israel. 
 
 16 And 10 on the first day there shall be «a 
 holy convocation, and on the seventh day : 
 there shall be a holy convocation to you : 
 no "kind of work shall be done in them, 
 ^excepting that which every tman must 
 eat, that only may be done ,3 by you. 
 
 17 And ye shall obserye the feast of un- 
 leavened bread; for r in this same day 
 have I brought your armies out of the land 
 of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this 
 day in your generations by an ordinance 
 for ever. 
 
 18 If 'In the first month, on the fourteenth 
 day of the .month 14 in the evening, ye shall 
 eat unleavened bread, until the one and 
 twentieth day of the month l5 in the evening. 
 
 19 'Seven days shall there be no leaven 
 found in your nouses: for whoever eateth 
 that which is leavened, "even that 16 person 
 shall be cut off from the congregation of 
 Israel, whether he be a stranger, or born 
 in the land. 
 
 20 Ye shall eat nothing leavened : in all 
 
 Eour habitations shall ye eat unleavened 
 read. 
 
 21 If Then Moses called for all the elders 
 of Israel, and said to them, *Draw out, and 
 take you a ||lamb, according to your fami- 
 lies, and kill the passover. 
 
 22 s And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, 
 and dip it in the blood that is in the bason, 
 and strike the lintel and the two side-posts 
 with the blood that is in the bason: and 
 none of you shall go out at the door of his 
 house until the morning. N 
 
 23 "For Jehovah will pass through to 
 smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth 
 the blood upon the lintel, and on the two 
 side-posts, Jehovah will pass over the door, 
 and 4 will not suffer the destroyer to come 
 in to your houses to smite you. 
 
 24 And ye shall observe this thing for an 
 ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever. 
 
 25 And it shall come to pass, when ye 
 "are come to the land which Jehovah will 
 give you, ''according as he hath promised, 
 that ye shall keep this service. 
 
 26 'And it shall come to pass, when your 
 children shall say to you, What mean ye 
 by this service ? 
 
 27 That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice 
 of Jehovah's passover, who passed over 
 the houses of the children of Israel in 
 Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and 
 delivered our houses. And the people 
 'bowed the head and worshipped. 
 
 28 And the children of Israel went away,

 and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; 
 and there was a ""great cry in Egypt: for 
 there was not a house where there was not 
 one dead. 
 
 31 If And "he called for Moses and Aaron 
 by night, and said, Arise, K and depart from 
 among my people, "both ye and the children 
 of Israel : and go, serve Jehovah, as ye 
 have said. 
 
 32 'Also take your flocks and your herds, 
 as ye have said, and be gone : and 'bless 
 me also. 
 
 33 r And the Egyptians were urgent upon 
 the people, that they might send them out 
 of the land in haste; tor they said, 'We 
 19 are all dead men. 
 
 34 And the people took their dough before 
 it was leavened, their ||kneading 20 bowls 
 being bound up in their clothes upon their 
 shoulders. 
 
 35 And the children of Israel did accord- 
 ing to the word of Moses : and they bor- 
 rowed of the Egyptians 'jewels of silver, 
 and jewels of gold, and raiment. 
 
 36 "And Jehovah gave the people favour 
 in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they 
 lent to them such things as they requested: 
 and 'they spoiled the Egyptians. 
 
 37 If Ana "the children of Israel jour- 
 neyed from *Rameses to Succoth, about 
 "six hundred thousand on foot that were 
 men, besides children. 
 
 38 And ta mixed multitude went up also 
 with them; and flocks, and herds, even 
 very 21 many cattle. 
 
 39 And they baked unleavened cakes of 
 the dough which they brought forth out of 
 Egypt, for it was not leavened: because 
 they were thrust out of Egypt, and could 
 not tarry, neither had they prepared for 
 themselves any ^victuals. 
 
 40 If Now the sojourning of the children 
 of Israel who dwelt in Egypt, was 'four 
 hundred and thirty years. 
 
 41 And it came to pass, at the end of the 
 four hundred and thirty years, even the 
 same day it came to pass, that all ''the 
 hosts of Jehovah departed from the land 
 of Egypt. 
 
 42 It is t e a night to be 23 observed to Je- 
 hovah, for bringing them out from the land 
 of Egypt : this is that night of Jehovah to 
 be observed ^by all the children of Israel 
 in their generations. 
 
 43 ^[ And Jehovah said to Moses and 
 Aaron, This is Hhe ordinance of the pass; 
 over : there shall no stranger eat thereof: 
 
 44 But every man's servant that is bought 
 for money, when thou hast ^circumcised 
 him, then shall he eat thereof. 
 
 45 *A foreigner, ^or a hired servant shall 
 not eat thereof. 
 
 46 In one house shall it be eaten ; thnu 
 shalt not carry forth a any of the flesh 
 abroad out of the house : 'neither shall ye 
 break a bone thereof. 
 
 47 *AU the congregation of Israel shall 
 tkeep it. 
 
 48 And 'when a stranger shall sojourn 
 with thee, and will keep the passover to 
 Jehovah, let all his males be circumcised, 
 and then let him come near and keep it • 
 and he shall be as one that is born in th? 
 land: for no uncircumcised person shall 
 eat thereof. 
 
 49 "One law shall be to him that is home-

The first-born sanctified to God. 
 
 born, and to the stranger that sojourneth 
 among you. 
 
 50 1 hus did all the children of Israel ; 
 as Jehovah commanded Moses and Aaron, 
 so did they. 
 
 51 "And it came to pass the self-same 
 day, that Jehovah did bring the children 
 of Israel out of the land of Egypt "by their 
 armies. 
 
 CHAPTER XIII. 
 
 1 The first-born are sanctified to God. 3 The memo- 
 rial of the passover is commanded. 1 1 The first- 
 lings of beasts are set apart. 17 The Israelites go 
 out of Egypt, and carry hseph's bones with them. 
 20 They come to Etham. 21 God guideth them by a 
 pillar of a cloud, and a pillar of fire. 
 
 A ND Jehovah spoke to Moses, say- 
 -£*- ing, 
 
 2 "Sanctify to me all the first-born, what- 
 ever ' is first brought forth among the 
 children of Israel, both of man and of 
 beast : it is mine. 
 
 3 ^ And Moses said to the people, 'Re- 
 member this day, in which ye came out 
 from Egypt, out of the house of t 2 bond- 
 men; for c by strength of hand Jehovah 
 brought you out from this place : d there 
 shall no leavened bread be eaten. 
 
 4 "This day came ye out, in the month 
 3 Abib. 
 
 5 If And it shall be when Jehovah shall 
 /4 have brought thee into the land of the 
 Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the 
 Amorites, and the Hivites, and the Jebu- 
 sites, which he r swore to thy fathers to 
 give thee, a land flowing with milk and 
 honey ; A that thou shalt keep this service 
 in this month. 
 
 6 'Seven days shalt thou eat unleavened 
 bread, and in the seventh day shall be a 
 feast to Jehovah. 
 
 7 Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven 
 days : and there shall 'no leavened bread 
 be seen with thee, neither shall there be 
 leaven seen with thee in all thy quarters. 
 
 8 f And thou shalt 'shew thy son in that 
 day, saying, This is done because of that 
 which Jehovah did to me when I came 
 forth out of Egypt. 
 
 9 And it shall be for m a sign to thee upon 
 thine hand, and for a memorial between 
 6 thine eyes ; that Jehovah's law r^ay be in 
 thy mouth : for with a strong hi nd hath 
 Jehovah brought thee out of Egypt. 
 
 10 "Thou shalt therefore keep tms ordi- 
 nance in its season from year to year. 
 
 11 If And it shall be when Jehovah shall 
 'have brought thee into the land of the 
 Canaanites, as he swore to thee and to thy 
 fathers, and shall 8 have given it to thee ; 
 
 12 "That thou shalt tset apart to Jehovah 
 all that 9 are first brought forth ; and every 
 firstling that cometh of a beast which thou 
 hast, the males shall be Jehovah's. 
 
 13 And 'every firstling of an ass thou 
 shalt redeem with a ||lamb ; and if thou 
 wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break 
 its neck : and all the first-born of man 
 among thy children 'shalt thou redeem. 
 
 14 If r And it shall be when thy son ask- 
 eth thee tin time to come, saying, What is 
 this? that thou shalt say to him, 'By 
 strength of hand Jehovah brought us out 
 from Egypt, from the house of 10 bondmen :

 had let the people go, that God led them 
 not through the way of the land of the 
 Philistines, although that was near; for 
 God said, Lest "perhaps the people *re- 
 pent when they see war, and "they return 
 to Egypt. 
 
 18 But God *led the people about, through 
 the way of the "desert of the Red sea : 
 and the children of Israel went up || ,5 arm- 
 ed from the land of Egypt. 
 
 19 And Moses took the bones of Joseph 
 with him : for he had is strictly sworn the 
 children of Israel, saying, "God will surely 
 visit you ; and ye shall carry up my bones 
 away hence with you.

 day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the 
 way ; and by night in a pillar of fire, to 
 give them light : to go by day and night. 
 
 22 He took not away the pillar of the 
 cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by 
 night, from before the people. 
 
 CHAPTER XIV. 
 
 1 God instructeth the Israelites in their journey. 5 
 Pharaoh pursueth after them. 10 The Israelites 
 murmur. 13 Moses comforteth them. 15 God in- 
 structeth Moses. 19 The cloud removeth behind the 
 camp. 21 The Israelites pass through the Red sea, 
 23 which drowneth the Egyptians. 
 
 \ ND Jehovah spoke to Moses, say- 
 ing, 
 
 2 Speak to the children of Israel, "that 
 they turn and encamp before 6 Pi-hahiroth, 
 between c Migdol and the sea, over against 
 Baal-zephon : before it shall ye encamp 
 by the sea. 
 
 3 For Pharaoh will say 'concerning the 
 children of Israel, rf Thev are entangled in 
 the land, the 2 desert hatn shut them in. 
 
 4 And e I will harden Pharaoh's heart, 
 ' so' that he shall 3 pursue after them ; and 
 IAvill be honoured upon Pharaoh, and upon 
 all his host ; «that the Egyptians may know 
 that I am Jehovah. And they did so. 
 
 5 f And it was told the king of Egypt 
 that the people ' had' fled : and *the heart 
 of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned 
 against the people, and they said, Why 
 have we done this, that we have let Israel 
 go from serving us ? 
 
 6 And he made ready his chariot, and 
 took his people with him : 
 
 7 And he took 'six hundred chosen cha- 
 riots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and 
 4 chosen warriors in all. 
 
 8 And Jehovah 'hardened the heart of 
 Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued 
 after the children oflsrael ; and 'the child- 
 ren of Israel went out 5 by a high hand. 
 
 9 But the ""Egyptians pursued after them 
 (all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, 
 and his horsemen, and his army; and 
 
Pharaoh pursueth the Israelites. 
 
 overtook them encamping by the sea, be- 
 side Pi-hahiroth, before Baal -zephon. 
 
 JO f And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the 
 children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and 
 behold, the Egyptians marched after them ; 
 and they were 6 greatly afraid: and the 
 children of Israel "cried to Jehovah. 
 
 11 "And they said to Moses, Because 
 there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou 
 taken us away to die in the 'desert? 
 Wherefore hast thou deak thus with us, 
 to carry us forth out of Egypt ? 
 
 12 'Is not this the word that we did tell 
 thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that 
 we may serve the Egyptians ? For it had 
 been better for us to serve the Egyptians, 
 than that we should die in the 8 desert. 
 
 13 If And Moses said to the people, 'Fear 
 ye not, stand 'firmly, and see the salvation 
 of Jehovah, which he will 10 work for you 
 to-day : ||for the Egyptians whom ye have 
 seen to-day, ye shall see them again no more 
 for ever. 
 
 14 'Jehovah shall fight for you, and ye 
 shall "'remain quiet. 
 
 15 ^f And Jehovah said to Moses, Where- 
 fore criest thou to me ? Speak to the child- 
 ren of Israel, that they go forward : 
 
 16 But 'lift thou up thy rod, and stretch 
 out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: 
 and the children of Israel shall go on dry 
 ground I2 in the midst of the sea. 
 
 17 And I, behold, I will "harden the 
 hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall 
 follow them : and I will *get 13 myself ho- 
 nour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, 
 upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen. 
 
 18 And the Egyptians *shall know that I 
 am Jehovah, when I ' shall' have gotten 
 "myself honour upon Pharaoh, upon his 
 chariots, and upon his horsemen. 
 
 19 If And the angel of God *\vho went 
 before the camp of Israel, removed, and 
 went behind them; and the pillar of the 
 cloud went from before their face, and 
 stood behind them : 
 
 20 And it came between the camp of the 
 Egyptians and the camp of Israel ; and a it 
 was a cloud and darkness to them, but it 
 gave light by night to these : so that the 
 one came not near the other all the night. 
 
 21 And Moses 'stretched out his hand 
 over the sea; and Jehovah caused the sea 
 to go back by a strong east wind all that 
 night, and c made the sea dry land, and the 
 waters were ''divided. 
 
 22 And 'the children of Israel went into 
 the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: 
 and the waters were f & wall to them on 
 their right hand, and on their left. 
 
 23 ^f_ And the Egyptians pursued, and 
 went in after them, to the midst of the sea, 
 even all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and 
 his horsemen. 
 
 _ 24 And it came to pass, that in the morn- 
 ing-watch *Jehovah looked 15 forth on the 
 host of the Egyptians through the pillar 
 of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the 
 host of the Egyptians, 
 
 25 And took off their chariot-wheels, 
 || I6 and caused them to drive heavily: so

 for them against the Egyptians.

 CHAPTER XV. The Egyptians drowned in the lied Sea. 
 
 ters may come again upon the Egyptians, 
 upon their chariots, and upon their horse- 
 men. 
 
 27 And Moses stretched forth his hand 
 over the sea, and the sea 'returned to its 
 strength when the morning appeared ; and 
 the Egyptians fled against it; and Jeho- 
 vah toverthrew the Egyptians in the midst 
 of the sea. 
 
 28 And m the waters returned, and "cover- 
 ed the chariots, and the horsemen, and all 
 the host of Pharaoh that came into the 
 sea after them: there remained not so 
 much as one of them. 
 
 29 But "the children of Israel walked 
 upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and 
 the waters were a wall to them on their 
 right hand, and on their left. 
 
 30 Thus Jehovah p saved Israel that day 
 from the hand of the Egyptians : and Is- 
 rael «saw the Egyptians dead upon the 
 sea- shore. 
 
 31 And Israel saw that great twork which 
 Jehovah did upon the Egyptians: and the 
 people feared Jehovah, and 'believed Je- 
 hovah, and his servant Moses. 
 
 CHAPTER XV. 
 
 1 Moses' song. 22 The people want water. 23 The 
 waters at Marah are bitter. 25 A tree sweeteneth 
 them. 27 At Elim are twelve ^fountains, and seven- 
 ty palm-trees. 
 
 THEN sung "Moses and the children 
 of Israel this song to Jehovah, and 
 spoke, saying, I will 'sing to Jehovah, for 
 he hath triumphed gloriously ; the horse 
 and his rider hath he thrown into the sea. 
 
 2 Jehovah is my strength and c song, and 
 he 2 hath become my salvation: he is my 
 God, and I will 3 celebrate him ; my ''fa- 
 ther's God, and I 'will exalt him. 
 
 3 Jehovah is a man of Avar : Jehovah is 
 his f name. 
 
 4 Tharaoh's chariots and his host hath 
 he cast into the sea : "his chosen 4 warriors 
 also are sunk in the Red sea. 
 
 5 *The depths have covered them : 'they 
 6 went down into the deep like a stone. 
 
 6 '"Thy right hand, O Jehovah, 6 hath be- 
 come glorious in power : thy right hand, O 
 Jehovah, hath dashed in pieces the enemy. 
 
 7 And in the greatness of thine "excel- 
 lency thou hast 'overthrown those who rose 
 up against thee: thou sentest forth thy 
 wrath, which "consumed them ''as stubble. 
 
 8 And 'with the blast of thy nostrils the 
 waters were 7 piled up, 'the floods stood 
 upright as an neap, and the depths were 
 congealed in the heart of the sea. 
 
 9 s The enemy said, I will pursue, I will 
 overtake, I will 'divide the spoil : my 'de- 
 sire shall be satisfied upon them; I will 
 draw my sword, my hand shall || 9 seize 
 them. 
 
 10 Thou didst "blow with thy wind, x the 
 sea covered them: they sunk like lead in 
 the mighty waters. . 
 
 11 "Who is like thee, O Jehovah, among 
 the || 10 gods ? who is like thee, glorious in 
 holiness, fearful in praises, "doing won- 
 ders ? 
 
 12 Thou stretched st out 'thy right hand, 
 the earth swallowed them. 
 
 13 Thou in thy mercy hast c led forth the 
 people whom, thou hast redeemed : thou 
 hast guided them in thy strength to ''thy 
 holy habitation.

 14 'The people shall hear, and "quake : 
 '"terror shall "seize the inhabitants of 
 u Philistia. 
 
 15 'Then "the princes of Edom shall be 
 amazed: 'the mighty men of Moab, trem- 
 bling shall 16 seize them ; *all the inhabitants 
 of Canaan shall melt away. 
 
 16 'Fear and dread shall fall upon them ; 
 by the greatness of thine arm they shall 
 be as stul "as a stone ; till thy people pass 
 over, Jehovah, till the people pass over, 
 "whom thou hast purchased. 
 
 1" Thou shalt bring them in, and "plant 
 them in the mountain of thine inheritance, 
 in the place, Jehovah, which thou hast 
 mads for thy self to dwell in ; in the Sanc- 
 tuary, Jehovah, which thy hands have 
 established. 
 
 18 'Jehovah shall reign 17 for ever and 
 ever. 
 
 19 For the r horse of Pharaoh went in with 
 his chariots and with his horsemen into 
 the sea, and 'Jehovah brought again the 
 waters of the sea upon them : but the child- 
 ren of Israel went on dry land in the midst 
 of the sea. 
 
 20 1f And Miriam 'the prophetess, "the 
 sister of Aaron, *took a 18 tabret in her 
 hand ; and all the women went out after 
 her, "with 19 tabrets, and with dances. 
 
 21 And Miriam l20 answered them, "Sing 
 ye to Jehovah, for he hath triumphed glo- 
 riously : the horse and his rider hath he 
 thrown into the sea. 
 
 22 So Moses brought Israel from the Red 
 sea, and they went out into the Z1 desert of 
 *Shur; and they went three days in the 
 82 Jesert, and found no water. 
 
 23 TJ And when they came to c Marah, 
 they could not drink of the waters of Ma- 
 rah; for they were bitter: therefore the 
 name of it was called ||Marah. 
 
 24 And the people ''murmured against 
 Moses, saying, What shall we drink ? 
 
 25 And he "cried to Jehovah, and Je- 
 hovah shewed him a tree, f which when he 
 had cast into the waters, the waters were 
 made sweet : there he *made for them ^an 
 ordinance and M a statute, and there "he 
 proved them, 
 
 26 And said, 'If thou wilt diligently 
 hearken to the voice of Jehovah thy God, 
 and wilt do that which is right in his sight, 
 and wilt give ear to his commandments, 
 and keep all his statutes, I will put none 
 of those *diseases upon thee, which I have 
 brought upon the Egyptians : for I am Je- 
 hovah 'that healeth thee. 
 
 27 f m And they came to Elim, where were 
 twelve S5 fountains of water, and threescore 
 and ten palm-trees: and they encamped 
 there by the waters.

 children of Israel 'murmured against Mo- 
 ses and Aaron in the 8 desert : 
 
 3 And the children of Israel said to them, 
 d4 that we had died by the hand of Je- 
 hovah in the land of Egypt, 'when we sat 
 by the flesh-pots, and when we did eat 
 bread to the full : for ye have brought us 
 forth into this 5 desert, to kill this whole 
 assembly with hunger. 
 
 4 If Then said Jehovah to Moses, Be- 
 hold, I will rain '"bread from heaven for 
 you ; and the people shall go out and ga- 
 ther ta certain rate 6 each day, that I may 
 *prove them, whether they will walk in my 
 law, or 'not. 
 
 5 And it shall come to pass, that on the 
 sixth day they shall prepare that which 
 they bring in; and A it shall be twice as 
 much as they gather daily. 
 
 6 And Moses and Aaron said to all the 
 children of Israel, 'At 8 evening, then ye 
 shall know that Jehovah hath brought you 
 out from the land of Egypt : 
 
 7 And in the morning, then ye shall see 
 *the glory of Jehovah : 'because he hear- 
 eth your murmurings against Jehovah: 
 And 'what arc we, that ye murmur against 
 us? 
 
 8 And Moses said, This shall be when 
 Jehovah shall give you in the evening 
 flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to 
 the full ; '"because Jehovah heareth your 
 murmurings which ye murmur against 
 him : and what are we ? your murmurings 
 are not against us, but "against Jehovah. 
 
 9 If And Moses spoke to Aaron, Say to 
 all the congregation of the children of Is- 
 rael, "Come near before Jehovah : for he 
 hath heard your murmurings. 
 
 10 And it came to pass, as Aaron spoke 
 to the whole congregation of the children 
 of Israel, that they looked towards the 
 "desert, and behold, the glory of Jehovah 
 "appeared in the cloud. 
 
 11 If And Jehovah spoke to Moses, say- 
 ing, 
 
 12 'I have heard the murmurings of the 
 children of Israel ; speak to them, saying, 
 'At "evening ye shall eat flesh, and in the 
 morning ye shall be filled with bread : and 
 ye shall know that I am Jehovah your 
 God. 
 
 13 And it came to pass, that at ''evening 
 'the quails came up, and covered the camp : 
 and in the morning 'the dew lay around 
 the host. 
 
 14 And when the dew that lay was gone 
 up, behold, upon the face of the ' 4 desert 
 there lay "a small round thing, as small as 
 the hoar frost on the ground : 
 
 15 And when the children of Israel saw 
 it, they said one to another, ||It is 16 manna: 
 for they ' 6 knew not what it was. And 
 Moses said to them, x This is the bread 
 which Jehovah hath given you to eat. 
 
 16 If This is the thing which Jehovah 
 hath commanded, Gather of it every man 
 according to his eating: "an omer tfor 
 every man according to the number of 
 your tpersons, take ye every >man for them 
 who are in his "tent. 
 
 17 And the children of Israel did so, and 
 gathered, some more, some less. 
 
 18 And when they did "measure it with 
 an omer, z he that gathered much had no- 
 thing over, and he that gathered little had 
 
The ordering of the manna.

 Jlmalek discomfited. 
 
 no lack: they gathered every man accord- 
 ing to his eating. 
 
 19 And Moses said, Let no man leave 
 ' any' of it till the morning. 
 
 20 Notwithstanding, they hearkened not 
 to Moses; but some of them left 'some' of 
 it until the morning, and it bred worms, 
 and 19 became putrid : and Moses was 
 20 angry with them. 
 
 21 And they gathered it every morning, 
 every man according to his eating: and 
 when the sun Z1 became hot it melted. 
 
 22 ^ And it came to pass, that on the 
 sixth day they gathered twice as much 
 bread, two omers for one man: and all 
 the rulers of the congregation came and 
 told Moses. 
 
 23 And he said to them, This is that 
 which Jehovah hath said, To-morrow is 
 "the rest of the holy sabbath to- Jehovah : 
 bake that which ye will bake to-day, and 
 ^boil that ' which' ye will ^boil ; and that 
 which remairleth over, lay up for 24 your- 
 selves to be kept until the morning. 
 
 24 And they laid it up till the morning, 
 as Moses ^ commanded: and it did not 
 i26 putrefy, neither was there any worm 
 therein. 
 
 25 And Moses said, Eat that to-day; for 
 to-day is a sabbath to Jehovah; to-day ye 
 will not find it in the field. 
 
 26 c Six days ye shall gather it; but on 
 the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in 
 it there shall be none. 
 
 27 f And it came to pass, that there went 
 out some of the people on the seventh day 
 27 to gather, and they found none. 
 
 28 And Jehovah said to Moses, How long 
 d refuse ye to keep my commandments and 
 my laws ? 
 
 29 See, 28 because Jehovah hath given you 
 the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the 
 sixth day the bread of two days : abide ye 
 every man in his place, let no man go out 
 of his place on the seventh aay. 
 
 30 So the people rested on the seventh 
 day. 
 
 31 And the house of Israel called the 
 name thereof Manna: and e it was like 
 coriander-seed, white ; and the taste of it 
 was like wafers 29 with honey. 
 
 32 U And Moses said, This is the thing 
 which Jehovah commandeth, Fill an omer 
 of it to be kept for your ^posterity ; that 
 they may see the bread wherewith I have 
 fed you in the 3I desert, when I brought you 
 forth from the land of Egypt. 
 
 33 And Moses said to Aaron, 'Take a 
 pot, and put an omer full of manna there- 
 in, and lay it up before Jehovah, to be 
 kept for your generations. 
 
 34 As Jehovah commanded Moses, so 
 Aaron laid it up ^before the Testimony, to 
 be kept. 
 
 35 And the children of Israel did eat 
 manna "forty years, "until they came to a 
 land inhabited : they did eat manna, until 
 they came to the borders of the land of 
 Canaan. 
 
 36 Now an omer is the tenth part of an 
 ephah.

 AND "all the congregation of the children 
 of Israel journeyed from the 2 desert 
 of Sin, after their journeys, according to 
 the commandment of Jehovah, and pitch- 
 ed in Rephidim : and there was no water 
 for the people to drink. 
 
 2 'Wherefore the people 'strove with 
 Moses, and said, Give us water that we 
 may drink. And Moses said to them, 
 Why 4 strive ye with me? wherefore do 
 ye "tempt Jehovah ? 
 
 3 And the people thirsted there for- wa- 
 ter; and the people ''murmured against 
 Moses, and said, Wherefore is this that 
 thou hast brought us up out of Egypt to 
 kill us and our children and our cattle 
 with thirst ? 
 
 4 And Moses 'cried to Jehovah, saying, 
 What shall I do to this people ? they 5 are 
 almost ready to 'stone me. 
 
 5 And Jehovah said to Moses, /Go on 
 before the people, and take with thee 
 'some' of the elders of Israel: and thy 
 rod, wherewith Hhou 6 didst smite the 
 river, take in thine hand, and go. 
 
 6 'Behold, I will stand before thee there 
 upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt 
 smite the rock, and there shall come water 
 out of it, that the people may drink. And 
 Moses did so in the sight of the elders of 
 Israel. 
 
 7 And he called the name of the place 
 *||Massah, and ||Meribah, because of the 
 7 strife of the children of Israel, and be- 
 cause they tempted Jehovah, saying, Is 
 Jehovah among us, or not ? 
 
 8 ^f 'Then came Amalek, and fought with 
 Israel in Rephidim. 
 
 9 And Moses said to '"Joshua, Choose us 
 out men, and go out, fight with Amalek : 
 to-morrow I will stand on the top of the 
 hill with "the rod of God in my hand. 
 
 10 So Joshua did as Moses had said to 
 him, and fought with Amalek : and Moses, 
 Aaron, and Hur, went up to the top of the 
 hill. 
 
 11 And it came to pass, when Moses 
 "held up his hand, that Israel prevailed : 
 and when he let down his hand, Amalek 
 prevailed. 
 
 12 But Moses' hands were heavy; and 
 they took a stone, and put it under him, 
 and he sat thereon : and Aaron and Hur 
 stayed up his hands, the one on the one 
 side, and the other on the other side ; and 
 his hands were steady until the going down 
 of the sun. 
 
 13 And Joshua discomfited Amalek and 
 his people with the edge of the sword. 
 
 14 And Jehovah said to Moses, 'Write 
 this/or a memorial in a book, and rehearse 
 it in the ears of Joshua : for «I will utterly 
 8 blot the remembrance of Amalek from 
 under heaven. 
 
 15 And Moses built an altar, and called 
 the name of it || JEHOVAH - 9 my-banner : 
 
 16 For he said, [IBecause IJehovah hath 
 sworn that Jehovah will have war with 
 Amalek from generation to generation. 
 
 CHAPTER XVIII. 
 
 1 Jcthro bringeth to Moses his wife and two sons. 7 
 Moses entertaineth him. 13 Jethro's counsel is 
 accepted. 27 Jethro departeth. 
 
 WHEN "Jethro the priest of Midian, 
 Moses' father-in -law, heard of all 
 that "God had done for Moses, and for 
 
 53 
 
 
 
Mises entertaineth Jethro. 
 
 Israel his people, and that Jehovah had 
 brought Israel out of Egypt : 
 
 2 Then Jethro, Moses' lather -in-law, took 
 Zipporah, Moses' wife, 'after he had sent 
 her back, 
 
 3 And her ''two sons ; of whom the 'name 
 of the one was ||Gershom ; (for he said, I 
 have been "a stranger in a strange land :) 
 
 4 And the name of the other was ||Elie- 
 zer ; (for the God of my father, said he, 
 ivas my help, and delivered me from the 
 sword of Pharaoh :) 
 
 5 And Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, came 
 with his sons and his wife to Moses into the 
 Mesert, where he encamped at f the mount 
 of God : 
 
 6 And he said to Moses, I thy father-in- 
 law Jethro am come to thee, and thy wife, 
 and her two sons with her. 
 
 7 If And Moses s went out to meet his 
 father-in-law, and did obeisance, and 
 ''kissed him: and they asked each other 
 of their twelfare : and they came into the 
 tent. 
 
 8 And Moses told his father-in-law all 
 that Jehovah had done to Pharaoh, and to 
 the Egyptians for Israel's sake, and all the 
 'distress that had tcome upon them by the 
 way, and how Jehovah 'had' 'delivered 
 them. 
 
 9 And Jethro rejoiced for all the good- 
 ness which Jehovah had done to Israel, 
 whom he had delivered out of the hand of 
 the Egyptians. 
 
 10 And Jethro said, 'Blessed be Jehovah, 
 who hath delivered you out of the hand of 
 the Egyptians, and out of the hand of Pha- 
 raoh, who hath delivered the people from 
 under the hand of the Egyptians. 
 
 11 Now I know that Jehovah is 'greater 
 than all gods: m for in the thing wherein 
 they dealt "proudly, he was above them. 
 
 12 And Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, took 
 a burnt-offering and sacrifices for God: 
 and Aaron came, and all the elders of Is- 
 rael to eat 4 food with Moses' father-in-law 
 "before God. 
 
 13 If And it came to pass on the morrow, 
 that Moses sat to judge the people : and 
 the people stood by Moses from the morn- 
 ing to the evening. 
 
 14 And when Moses' father-in-law saw 
 all that he did to the people, he said, What 
 is this thing that thou doest to the people ? 
 Why sittest thou thyself alone, and all the 
 people stand by thee from morning 5 until 
 evening. 
 
 15 And Moses said to his father-in-law, 
 Because p the people come to me to inquire 
 of God : 
 
 16 When they have 'a matter, they come 
 to me, and I judge between tone and an- 
 other, and I do r make them know the Or- 
 dinances of God, and his laws. 
 
 17 And Moses' father-in-law said to him, 
 The thing that thou doest is not good. 
 
 18 tThou wilt surely wear away, both 
 thou, and this people 7 who are with thee : 
 for this thing is too heavy for thee ; s thou 
 art not able to perform it thyself alone. 
 
 19 Hearken now to my voice, I will give 
 thee counsel, and 'God shall be with thee: 
 Be thou "for the people 8 before God, that 
 thou mayest "bring the causes to God : 
 
 20 And thou shalt "teach them ordinances 
 and laws, and shalt shew them the way

 Jethro'' s counsel to Moses. 
 
 wherein they must walk, and "the work 
 that they must do. 
 
 21 Moreover, thou shalt provide out of 
 all the people, 'able men, such as 'fear God, 
 d men of truth, 'hating 9 unjust gain ; and 
 place such over them to be rulers of thou - 
 sands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of 
 fifties, and rulers of tens : 
 
 22 And let them judge the people -'at all 
 seasons : ff and it shall be, that every great 
 matter they shall bring to thee, but every 
 small matter they shall judge : I0 to make 
 it lighter for thee, for they will bear the 
 burden with thee. 
 
 23 If thou shalt do this thing, and God 
 command thee so, then thou shalt be 'able 
 to endure, and all "these people shall also 
 go to 'their place in peace. 
 
 24 So Moses hearkened to the voice of 
 his father-in-law, and did all that he had 
 said. 
 
 25 And 'Moses chose able men out of all 
 Israel, and made them heads over the peo- 
 ple, rulers of thousands, rulers of hun- 
 dreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens. 
 
 26 And they m judged the people at all 
 seasons : the "hard causes they brought to 
 Moses, but every small matter they judged 
 themselves. 
 
 27 U And Moses let his father-in-law 
 depart : and "he went his way into his own 
 land. 
 
 CHAPTER XIX. 
 
 1 The people come to Sinai. 3 God's message by Mo- 
 ses to the people out of the mount. 8 The.people's 
 answer returned again. 10 The people are pre- 
 pared against the third day. 12 The -mountain 
 must not be touched. 16 The fearful presence of 
 God upon the mount. 
 
 IN the third month, when the children 
 of Israel were gone forth out of the land 
 of Egypt, the same day "came they into the 
 'desert of Sinai. 
 
 2 For they had departed from *Rephi- 
 dim, and had come to the desert of Sinai, 
 and had pitched in the 2 desert ; and there 
 Israel encamped before 'the mount. 
 
 3 And d Moses went up to God, and Je- 
 hovah 'called to him from the mountain, 
 saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house 
 of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel ; 
 
 4 'Ye have seen what I did to the Egyp- 
 tians, and how S I bore you on eagles' wings, 
 and brought you to myself. 
 
 5 Now A therefore, if ye will obey my voice 
 indeed, and keep my covenant, then 'ye 
 shall be a 3 treasure to me above all people: 
 for 'all the earth is mine : 
 
 6 And ye shall be to me a 'kingdom of 
 priests, and a m holy nation. These are the 
 words which thou shalt speak to the child- 
 ren of Israel. 
 
 7 If And Moses came and called for the 
 elders of the people, and laid before their 
 faces all these words which Jehovah ' had' 
 commanded him. 
 
 8 And "all the people answered together, 
 and said, All that Jehovah hath spoken 
 we will do. And Moses returned the 
 words of the people to Jehovah. 
 
 9 And Jehovah said to Moses, Lo, I come 
 to thee °in a Mark cloud, 'that the people 
 may hear when I speak with thee, and 'be- 
 lieve thee for ever. And Moses told the 
 words of the people to Jehovah. 
 
 10 If And Jehovah said to Moses, Go to 
 
The people pui ified at Sinai. 
 
 the people, and r5 purify them to-day and 
 to-morrow, and let them 'wash their 
 clothes, 
 
 11 And be ready 6 by the third day : for 
 the third day Jehovah 'will come down in 
 the sight of all the people upon mount Si- 
 nai. 
 
 12 And thou shalt set bounds to the peo- 
 ple round about, saying, Take heed to 
 yourselves, that ye go not up into the 
 mount, or touch the border of it : "whoso- 
 ever toucheth the mount shall be surely 
 put to death : 
 
 13 There shall not a hand touch it, but 
 he shall surely be stoned or shot through : 
 whether it be beast or man, it shall not 
 live: when the || x trumpet soundeth long, 
 they shall come up to the mount. 
 
 14 U And Moses went down from the 
 mount to the people, and s 'purified the 
 people ; and they washed their clothes. 
 
 15 And he said to the people, *Be ready 
 8 by the third day : a come not at your wives. 
 _ 16 1f And it came to pass on the third day 
 in the morning, that there were thunders 
 and lightnings, and a c9 heavy cloud upon 
 the mount, and the d voice of the trumpet 
 "exceedingly loud ; so that all the people 
 that n were in the camp "trembled. 
 
 17 And f Moses brought forth the people 
 out of the camp to meet with God ; and 
 they stood at the 12 lower part of the mount. 
 
 18 And ' all' Amount Sinai 13 smoked, be- 
 cause Jehovah descended upon it "in fire : 
 •and the smoke thereof ascended as the 
 smoke of a furnace, and *the whole mount 
 trembled greatly. 
 
 19 And when the voice of the trumpet 
 sounded, M and 15 became louder and louder, 
 "Moses spoke, and "God answered him by 
 a voice. 
 
 20 And Jehovah came down upon mount 
 Sinai, on the top of the mount : and Je- 
 hovah called Moses up to the top of the 
 mount ; and Moses went up. 
 
 21 And Jehovah said to Moses, Go 
 down, tcharge the people, lest they break 
 through to Jehovah "to gaze, and many 
 of them perish. 
 
 22 And let the priests also who come 
 near to Jehovah, pl6 purify themselves, lest 
 Jehovah « "burst forth upon them. 
 
 23 And Moses said to Jehovah, The 
 people cannot come* up to mount Sinai : 
 for thou chargedest us, saying, r Set bounds 
 about the mount, and 18 treat it as holy. 
 
 24 And Jehovah said to him, 19 Go, get 
 thee down, and thou shalt come up, thou, 
 and Aaron with thee : but let not the 
 priests and the people break through, to 
 come up to Jehovah, lest he 20 burst forth 
 upon them. 
 
 25 So Moses went down to the people, 
 and spoke to them.

 28 For an ox that goreth. 33 For him that is an oc- 
 casion of harm. • ■ 
 
 NOW these are the judgments which 
 thou shalt "set before them. 
 
 2 If thou buy a Hebrew servant, six 
 years he shall serve : and in the seventh he 
 shall go out free for nothing. 
 
 3 If ne came in tby himself, he shall go 
 out by himself : if he were married, then 
 his wife shall go out with him. 
 
 4 If his master have given him a wife, 
 and she have borne him sons or daughters, 
 the wife and her children shall be her mas- 
 ter's, and he shall go out by himself. 
 
 5 'And if the servant tshall plainly say, 
 I love my master, my wife, and my child- 
 ren ; 1 will not go out free : 
 
 6 Then his master shall bring him to the 
 ■"judges : he shall also bring him to the door, 
 or to the door-post : and his master shall 
 •bore his ear through with an awl ; and he 
 shall serve him for ever. 
 
 7 If And if a man -feell his daughter to be 
 a maid-servant, she shall not go out f as the 
 men-servants do. 
 
 8 If she tplease not her master, who hath 
 betrothed her to himself, then shall he let 
 her be redeemed : to sell her to a strange 
 nation he shall have no power, seeing he 
 hath dealt deceitfully with her. 
 
 9 And if he have betrothed her to his son, 
 he shall deal with her after the manner of 
 daughters. 
 
 10 If he take him another wife ; her food, 
 her raiment, /"and her duty of marriage 
 shall he not diminish. 
 
 11 And if he do not these three to her, 
 then shall she go out free without money. 
 
 12 1 'He that smiteth a man, so that he 
 die, shall be surely jmt to death. 
 
 13 And *if a man lie not in wait, but God 
 "cause him to fall into his hand ; then m I 
 will appoint thee a place whither he shall 
 flee. 
 
 14 But if a man come "presumptuously 
 upon his neighbour, to slay him 2 by crafti- 
 ness ; "thou shalt take him from mine altar, 
 that he may die. 
 
 15 If And he that smiteth his father, or 
 his mother, shall be surely put to death. 
 
 16 lAnd '"he that stealeth a man, and 
 'selleth him, or if he be 'found in his hand, 
 he shall surely be put to death. 
 
 17 If And s he that ||curseth his father or 
 his mother, shall surely be put to death. 
 
 18 ff And if men strive together, and one 
 smite Hanother with a stone, or with his fist, 
 and he die not, but keepeth his bed : 
 
 19 If he rise again, and walk abroad 'up- 
 on his staff, then shall he that smote him 
 be Unpunished: only he shall pay for tthe 
 loss of his time, and. shall cause him to be 
 thoroughly healed.

 4 If the 2 thing stolen be certainly 'found 
 in his hand alive, whether it be ox, or ass, 
 or sheep; he shall 'restore double. 
 
 5 Tf If a man shall cause a field or vine- 
 yard to be eaten, and shall put in his

 or for any 5 kind of lost thing which an- 
 other ^ay say is his : the 'cause of both 
 parties shall come before the judges ; and

 10 If a man deliver to his neighbour an 
 ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or any beast to 
 keep; and it die, or be hurt, or driven

 11 Then shall an *oath of Jehovah be

 CHAPTER XXIV. 
 
 1 Moses is called up into the mountain. 3 'Die peo- 
 ple promise obedience. 4 Moses buildeth an altar 
 and twelve pillars. 6 He sprinkleth the blood of 
 the covenant. 9 The glory of God appeareth. 14 
 Aaron and Hur have the charge of the people. 15 
 Moses goeth into the mountain, where he continu- 
 eth forty days and forty nights. 
 
 AND he said to Moses, Come up to Je- 
 hovah, thou, and Aaron, "Nadab, and 
 Abihu, & and seventy of the elders of Is- 
 rael ; and worship ye afar off. 
 
 2 And Moses 'alone shall come near Je- 
 hovah: but they shall not come 'near; 
 neither shall the people 2 come up with him. 
 
 3 If And Moses came and told the people 
 all the words of Jehovah, and all the 
 judgments: and all the people answered 
 with one voice, and said, d All the words 
 which Jehovah hath said will we do. 
 
 4 And Moses 'wrote all the words of Je- 
 hovah, and rose up early in the morning, 
 and builded an altar under the 3 mountain, 
 and twelve ■'pillars according to the twelve 
 tribes of Israel. 
 
 5 And he sent young men of the children 
 of Israel, who offered burnt-offerings, and 
 sacrificed 4 thank -offerings of oxen to Je- 
 hovah. 
 
 6 And Moses Hook half of the blood, and 
 put it in basons ; and half of the blood he 
 sprinkled on the altar. 
 
 7 And he Hook the book of the covenant, 
 and read in the 5 hearing of the people: 
 and they said, 'All that Jehovah hath said 
 will we do, and be obedient. 
 
 8 And Moses took the blood, and sprin- 
 kled it on the people, and said, Behold, 
 Hhe blood of the covenant, which Jehovah 
 hath made with you concerning all these 
 words.' 
 
 9 ^f Then 'went up Moses, and Aaron, 
 Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the 
 elders of Israel : 
 
 10 And they m saw the God of Israel : and 
 there was under his feet as it were a 6 work 
 of "transparent-stone, even like "heaven 
 itself in clearness. 
 
 11 And upon the nobles of the children 
 of Israel he y laid not his hand : also 'they 
 saw God, and did r eat and drink. 
 
 12 f And Jehovah said to Moses, 'Come 
 up to me into the mount, and be there : 
 and I will give thee 'tables of stone, and a 
 law, and commandments which I have 
 written ; 'to teach them. 
 
 13 And Moses rose up, and "his 8 minister 
 Joshua : and Moses ""went up into the 
 mount of God. 
 
 14 And he said to the elders, Tarry ye 
 here for us, until we come again to you : 
 and behold, Aaron and Hur are with you : 
 if any man have any matters 9 , let him 
 come to them. 
 
 15 And Moses went up into the mount, 
 and * 10 the cloud covered the mount. 
 
 16 And "the glory of Jehovah abode upon 
 mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six 
 days: and the seventh day he called to 
 Moses out of the midst of the cloud.

 18 And Moses went into the midst of the 
 cloud, and 12 went up into the mount : and 
 "Moses was in the mount forty days and 
 forty nights.

 bullock, and two rams without blemish, 
 
 2 And 'unleavened bread, and cakes un-

 unleavened anointed with oil : qfwheaten 
 flour shalt thou make them. 
 
 3 And thou shalt put them into one bask- 
 et, and bring them in the basket, with the

 8 And ''thou shalt bring his sons, and put 
 coats upon them. 
 
 9 And thou shalt gird them with girdles 
 (Aaron and his sons) and tput the 6 caps 
 on them ; and 'the priest's office shall be 
 
The sacrifice and ceremonies 
 
 theirs for a perpetual 7 ordinance : and thou 
 shalt t "consecrate Aaron and his sons. 
 
 10 And thou shalt cause 8 the bullock to 
 be brought before the °tent of the congre- 
 gation ; and 'Aaron and his sons shall put 
 their hands upon the head of the bullock. 
 
 11 And thou shalt kill the bullock be- 
 fore Jehovah, by the door of the l0 tent of 
 the congregation. 
 
 12 And thou m shalt take ' some' of the 
 blood of the bullock, and put it upon "the 
 horns of the altar with thy hnger, and pour 
 all the blood beside the bottom of the altar. 
 
 13 And "thou shalt take all the fat that 
 covereth the inwards, and [| the caul that is 
 above the liver, and the two kidneys, and 
 the fat that is upon them, and burn them 
 upon the altar. 
 
 14 But 'the flesh of the bullock, and his 
 skin, and his "ordure shalt thou burn with 
 fire without the camp : it is a sin-offering. 
 
 15 If 'Thou shalt also take one ram ; and 
 Aaron and his sons shall r put their hands 
 upon the head of the ram. 
 
 16 And thou shalt slay the ram, and thou 
 shalt take his blood, and sprinkle it round 
 about upon the altar. 
 
 17 And thou shalt cut the ram in pieces, 
 and wash the inwards of him, and his legs, 
 and put them to his pieces, and ||to his 
 head. 
 
 18 And thou shalt burn the whole ram 
 upon the altar : it is a burnt-offering to Je- 
 hovah : it is a 'sweet ,2 odour, an offering 
 made by fire to Jehovah. 
 
 19 *[f 'And thou shalt take the other ram ; 
 and Aaron and his sons shall put their 
 hands upon the head of the ram. 
 
 20 Then shalt thou kill the ram, and take 
 'some' of his blood, and put it upon the 
 tip of the right ear of Aaron, and upon the 
 tip of the right ear of his sons, and upon 
 the thumb of their right hand, and upon 
 the great toe of their right foot, and sprin- 
 kle the blood upon the altar round about. 
 
 21 And thou shalt take ' some' of the 
 blood that is upon the altar, and of "the 
 anointing oil, and sprinkle it upon Aaron, 
 and upon his garments, and upon his sons, 
 and upon the garments of his sons with 
 him : and w he shall be hallowed, and his 
 garments, and his sons, and his sons' gar- 
 ments with him. 
 
 22 Also thou shalt take of the ram the 
 fat and the "tail, and the fat that covereth 
 the inwards, and the caul above the liver, 
 and the two kidneys, and the fat that is 
 upon them, and the right shoulder: for it 
 is a ram of consecration : 
 
 23 *And one loaf of bread, and one cake 
 of oiled bread, and one wafer out of the 
 basket of the unleavened bread, that is 
 before Jehovah. 
 
 24 And thou shalt put all in the hands of 
 Aaron, and in the hands of his sons ; and 
 shalt t "wave them for a wave-offering be- 
 fore Jehovah. 
 
 25 *And thou shalt receive them "from 
 their hands, and burn them upon the altar 
 for a burnt- offering, for a sweet 15 odour be- 
 fore Jehovah : it is an offering made by 
 fire to Jehovah. 
 
 26 And thou shalt take "the breast of the 
 ram of Aaron's consecration, and wave it 
 for a wave-offering before Jehovah : and 
 *it shall be thy part.

 s shall be his sons' after him, *to be anoint- 
 ed therein, and to be consecrated in them. 
 
 30 And t "that son who is priest in his stead 
 shall put them on 'seven days, when he 
 cometh into the ,9 tent of the congregation 
 to minister in the holy place. 
 
 31 ^ And thou shalt take the ram of the 
 consecration, and i20 boil his flesh in the 
 holy place. 
 
 32 And Aaron and his sons shall eat the 
 flesh of the ram, and the *bread that is in 
 the basket, by the door of the '"tent of the 
 congregation. 
 
 33 And '"they shall eat those things where- 
 with the atonement was made, to conse- 
 crate and to sanctify them : "but a stran- 
 ger shall not eat thereof, because they are 
 holy. 
 
 34 And if 22 any of the flesh of the conse- 
 crations, or of the bread, remain to the 
 morning, then "thou shalt burn the remain- 
 der with fire : it shall not be eaten, because 
 it is holy. 
 
 35 Ana thus shalt thou do to Aaron, and 
 to his sons, according to all things which 
 I have commanded thee : 'seven days shalt 
 thou consecrate them. 
 
 36 And thou shalt 'offer ^each day a 
 bullock/o?* a sin-offering for atonement ; 
 and thou shalt cleanse the altar, when thou 
 hast made an atonement for it, 'and thou 
 shalt anoint it, to ^hallow it. 
 
 37 Seven days thou shalt make an atone- 
 ment for the altar, and 25 hallow it ; 'and it 
 shall be an altar most holy : ' whatever 
 toucheth the altar shall be 26 hallowed. 
 
 38 If Now this is that which thou shalt 
 offer upon the altar; "two lambs of the first 
 year "day by day continually. 
 
 39 The one lamb thou shalt offer *in the 
 morning; and the other lamb thou shalt 
 offer at 27 evening : 
 
 40 And with the one lamb a tenth 28 part 
 of flour mingled with the fourth part of a 
 hin of beaten oil : and the fourth part of a 
 hin of wine/or a drink-offering. 
 
 41 And the other lamb thou shalt "offer 
 at 29 evening, and shalt do thereto accord- 
 ing to the 30 meal-offering of the morning, 
 and according to the drink-offering there- 
 of, for a sweet 31 odour, an offering made by 
 fire to Jehovah. 
 
 42 This shall be z n continual burnt-offer- 
 ing throughout your generations at the door 
 of the 32 tent of the congregation before Je- 
 hovah : "where I will meet you to speak 
 there to thee. 
 
 43 And there I will meet with the child- 
 ren of Israel, and \\the 33 tent 'shall be 
 sanctified by my glory. 
 
 44 And I will sanctify the ^ent of the 
 congregation, and the altar: I will c sanc-

 out of the land of Egypt, that I may dwell 
 among them : I am Jehovah their God.

 I The altar of incense. 11 The ransom of Hives. 
 17 The brazen laver. 22 The holy anointing oil. 
 34 The composition of the perfume. 
 
 AND thou shalt make "an altar 'to burn 
 incense upon : of 2 acacia-wood shalt 
 thou make it. 
 
 2 A cubit shall be the length thereof, and 
 a cubit the breadth thereof ; square shall 
 it be ; and two cubits shall be the height 
 thereof: the horns thereof shall be of the 
 same. 
 
 3 And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, 
 the ttop thereof, and the tsides thereof round 
 about, and the horns thereof; and thou 
 shalt make to it a crown of gold round 
 about. 
 
 4 And two golden rings shalt thou make 
 to it under the crown of it, by the two 
 tcorners thereof, upon the two sides of it 
 shalt thou make it; and they shall be for 
 places for the staves to bear it 3 with. 
 
 5 And thou shalt make the staves of 
 4 acacia-wood, and overlay them with gold. 
 
 6 And thou shalt put it before the vail 
 that is by the ark of the testimony, be- 
 fore the 'mercy-seat that is over the testi 
 mony, where I will meet with thee. 
 
 _ 7 And Aaron shall burn thereon t ''sweet 
 incense every morning : when 'he 5 trimmeth 
 the lamps, he shall burn incense upon it. 
 
 8 And when Aaron || tlighteth the lamps 
 tat 6 evening, he shall burn incense upon 
 it; a perpetual incense before Jehovah, 
 throughout your generations. 
 
 9 Ye shall offer no ^'unlawful incense 
 thereon, nor burnt-sacrifice, nor 8 meal- 
 offering ; neither shall ye pour drink-offer- 
 ing thereon. 
 
 10 And ^Aaron shall make an atonement 
 upon the horns of it once in a year, with 
 the blood of the sin-offering of atonements : 
 once in the year shall he make atonement 
 upon it throughout your generations : it is 
 most holy to Jehovah. 
 
 II % And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 
 
 12 'When thou takest the sum of the 
 children of Israel after ttheir number, then 
 shall they give 9 each man 'a ransom for his 
 lo life to Jehovah, when thou numberest 
 them : that there be no 'plague among 
 them when thou numberest them. 
 
 13 'This they shall give, every one that 
 
 Easseth among them that are numbered, 
 alf a shekel, after the shekel of the sanc- 
 tuary : ( m a shekel is twenty "gerahs :) "a 
 half shekel shall be the offering of Jehovah. 
 
 14 Every one that passeth among them 
 that are numbered, from twenty years old 
 and above, shall give an offering to Jehovah. 
 
 15 The "rich shall not tgive more, and the 
 poor shall not tgive less than half a shekel, 
 when they give an offering to Jehovah to 
 make an ^atonement for your 12 lives. 
 
 16 And thou shalt take the atonement- 
 money of the children of Israel, and 'shalt 
 appoint it for the service of the 13 tent of the

 17 1T And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 
 
 18 'Thou shalt also make a laver of brass, 
 and its foot also of brass, to wash 15 m: and 
 thou shalt 'put it between the 16 tent of 
 the congregation and the altar, and thou 
 shalt put water therein. 
 
 19 For Aaron and his sons "shall wash 
 their hands and their feet thereat : 
 
 20 When they go into the "tent of the 
 congregation, they shall wash with water, 
 that they die not: or when they come near 
 to the altar to minister, to burn offering 
 made by fire to Jehovah : 
 
 21 So they shall wash their hands and 
 their feet, that they die not : and ™it shall 
 be ,8 an ordinance for ever to them, even to 
 him and to his seed throughout their gene- 
 rations. 
 
 22 ^f Moreover, Jehovah spoke to Moses, 
 saying, 
 
 23 Take thou also to thee * 19 the best 
 spices, of pure "myrrh five hundred shekels, 
 and of sweet cinnamon half ^as much, even 
 two hundred and fifty shekels, and of sweet 
 z2I cane two hundred and fifty shekels, 
 
 24 And of "cassia five hundred shekels, 
 ^according to the shekel of the sanctuary, 
 and of oil-olive a 4 hin : 
 
 25 And thou shalt make it an oil of holy 
 ointment, an ointment ^compounded after 
 the art of the 24 perfumer: it shall be 'a 
 holy anointing oil. 
 
 26 d And thou shalt anoint the ^tent of 
 the congregation therewith, and the ark of 
 the testimony, 
 
 27 And the table and all its vessels, and 
 the candlestick and its vessels, and the 
 altar of incense, 
 
 28 And the altar of burnt-offering with 
 all its vessels, and the laver and its foot. 
 
 29 And thou shalt 26 hallow them, that 
 they may be most holy : 'whatsoever touch- 
 eth them shall be holy. 
 
 30 / And thou shalt anoint Aaron and his 
 sons, and consecrate them, that they may 
 minister to me in the priest's office. 
 
 31 And thou shalt speak to the children 
 ©f Israel, saying, This shall be a holy- 
 anointing oil to me throughout your gener- 
 ations. 
 
 32 Upon man's flesh shall it not be pour- 
 ed, neither shall ye make any other like it, 
 after the composition of it : ? it is holy, and 
 it shall be holy to you. 
 
 33 'Whoever compoundeth any like it, 
 or whoever putteth any of it upon a 
 stranger, 'shall even be cut off from his 
 people.

 to thee sweet spices, '"liquid myrrh, and 
 onycha, and galbanum ; these sweet spices 
 with pure frankincense : of each shall 
 there be a like weight : 
 
 35 And thou shalt make it a 28 perfumed 
 incense 'according to the art of the per- 
 fumer, ttempered together, pure and holy. 
 
 56 And thou shalt beat some of it very 
 small, and put of it before the testimony

 1 Bezaleel and Aholiab are called and ]fitted for the

 the sabbath is again commanded. 18 Moses re- 
 ceiveth the two tables.

 2 "See, I have called by name Bezaleel 
 the 'son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the 
 tribe of Judah : 
 
 3 And I have "filled him with the spirit of 
 God, in wisdom, and in Understanding, 
 and in knowledge, and in all manner of 
 workmanship, 
 
 4 To devise 3 skilful works, to work in 
 gold, and in silver, and in brass, 
 
 5 And in cutting of stones to set them, 
 and in carving of timber, to work in all 
 manner of workmanship. 
 
 6 And I, behold, I have given with him 
 d Aholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe 
 of Dan; and in the hearts of all that are 
 'wise-hearted I have put wisdom; that 
 they may make all that I have command- 
 ed thee : 
 
 7 'The 4 tentof the congregation, and s the 
 ark of the testimony, and *the mercy; seat 
 that is thereupon, and all the t furniture

 in the priest's office, 
 
 11 "And the anointing oil, and p sweet in- 
 cense for the holy place : according to all 
 that I have commanded thee shall they do. 
 
 12 If And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 
 
 13 Speak thou also to the children of Is- 
 rael, saying, q 7 Truly my sabbaths ye shall 
 keep : for it is a sign between me and you 
 throughout your generations ; that ye may 
 know that I am Jehovah who doth sanc- 
 tify you. 
 
 14 "Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore : 
 for it is holy to you. Every one that ^ro- 
 faneth it shall surely be put to death : for 
 * whoever doeth any work therein, that 
 "person shall be cut off from among his 
 people. 
 
 15 'Six days may work be done, but in 
 the "seventh is the sabbath of rest, tholy 
 to Jehovah : whoever doeth any work in 
 the sabbath-day he shall surely be put to 
 death. 
 
 16 Wherefore the children of Israel shall 
 keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath 
 throughout their generations, for a per 
 petual covenant.

 ses cometh down with the tables. 19 He breaketh 
 them. 20 He destroyeth the calf. 22 Aaron's ex- 
 cuse for himself. 25 Moses causeth the idolaters 
 to be slain. 30 He prayeth for the people. 
 
 AND when the people saw that Mo3es 
 "delayed to come down from the 
 mount, the people gathered themselves to- 
 gether to Aaron, and said to him, "Arise, 
 make us gods who shall 'go before us : for 
 as for this Moses, the man that brought 
 us up out of the land of Egypt, we 9 know 
 not what is become of him. 
 
 2 And Aaron said to them, Break off the 
 d golden ear-rings which are in the ears of 
 your wives, of your sons, and of your 
 daughters, and bring them to me. 
 
 3 And all the people broke off the golden 
 ear-rings which were in their ears, and 
 brought them to Aaron. 
 
 4 'And he received them 4 from their hand, 
 and fashioned it with a graving tool, after 
 he had made it a molten calf: and they 
 said, These 5 are thy 6 gods, O Israel, who 
 brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. 
 
 5 And when Aaron saw it, he built an 
 altar before it ; and Aaron made {procla- 
 mation, and said, To-morrow is a feast to 
 Jehovah. 
 
 6 And they rose up early on the morrow, 
 and offered burnt-offerings, and brought 
 7 thank-offerings : and the ^people sat down 
 to eat and to drink, and rose up to play. 
 
 7 If And Jehovah said to Moses, *Go, 
 get thee down : for thy people, whom thou 
 broughtest out of the land of Egypt, 'have 
 corrupted themselves : 
 
 8 They have turned aside quickly from 
 the way which *I commanded them : they 
 have made them a molten calf, and have 
 worshipped it, and have sacrificed to it, 
 and said, 'These *are thy gods, O Israel, 
 who have brought thee up out of the land 
 of Egypt. 
 
 9 And Jehovah said to Moses, m I have 
 seen this people, and behold, 9 they are a 
 stiff-necked people: 
 
 10 Now therefore, "let me alone, that 
 "my wrath may '"become hot against them, 
 and that I may consume them: and p l 
 will make of thee a great nation. 
 
 11 'And Moses besought t Jehovah his 
 God, and said, n O Jehovah ! why doth thy 
 wrath 12 become hot against thy people, 
 whom thou hast brought forth out of the 
 land of Egypt, with great power, and with 
 a mighty hand ? 
 
 12 'Wherefore should the Egyptians 
 speak and say, For mischief did he bring 
 them out, to slay them in the mountains, 
 and to consume them from the face of the 
 earth ? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and 
 'repent of this evil against thy people. 
 
 13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Is- 
 rael, thy servants, to whom thou * 13 didst 
 swear by thine own self, and saidst to 
 them, "I will multiply your seed as the 
 stars of heaven, and all this land that I 
 have spoken of will I give to your seed, 
 and they shall inherit it for ever. 
 
 65 
 
Moses breuketh the tables. 
 
 14 And Jehovah "repented of the evil 
 which he thought to do to his people. 
 
 15 *\\ And *Mose9 turned, and went down 
 from the mount, and the two tables of- the 
 testimony were in his hand : the tables 
 were written on both their sides; on the 
 one side and on the other were they writ- 
 ten. 
 
 16 And the "tables were the work of God, 
 and the writing was the writing of God, 
 "engraven upon the tables. 
 
 \7 And when Joshua heard the noise of 
 the people as they shouted, he said to Mo- 
 ses, There is a noise of war in the camp. 
 
 18 And he said, It is not the voice of them 
 that shout for mastery, neither is it the 
 voice of them that cry for t being over- 
 come : but the noise of them that sing do 
 I hear. 
 
 19 If And it came to pass as soon as he 
 came nigh to the camp, that z he saw the 
 calf, and the dancing : and Moses' anger 
 l5 became hot, and he cast the tables from 
 his hands, and broke them beneath the 
 mount. 
 
 20 "And he took the calf which they had 
 made, and burnt it in the fire, and ground 
 it to powder, and strewed it upon the wa- 
 ter, and made the children of Israel drink 
 of it. 
 
 21 And Moses said to Aaron, *What did 
 this people to thee, that thou hast brought 
 so great a sin upon them ? 
 
 22 And Aaron said, Let not the anger of 
 my lord 16 become hot: thou knowest the 
 people, that they are "wicked. 
 
 23 For they said to me, ''Make us gods 
 who shall go before us: for as for this 
 Moses, the man that brought us up out of 
 the land of Egypt, we I8 know not what is 
 become of him. 
 
 24 And I said to them, Whoever hath 
 any gold, let them break it off. So they 
 gave it me : then I cast it into the fire, and 
 there c came out this calf. 
 
 25 If And when Moses saw that the peo- 
 ple were 'naked, (for Aaron 4iad made 
 them naked to their 19 overthrow among 
 ttheir enemies.) 
 
 26 Then Moses stood in the gate of the 
 camp, and said, Who is on Jehovah's side ? 
 let him come to me. And all the sons of 
 Levi gathered themselves together to him. 
 
 87 And he said to them, Thus saith Jeho- 
 vah God of Israel, Put ^each man his sword 
 by his 21 thigh, and go in and out from gate 
 to gate throughout the camp, and *slay 
 ^each man his brother, and ^each man his 
 companion, and 24 each man his neighbour. 
 
 28 And the children of Levi did accord- 
 ing to the word of Moses : and there fell 
 of the people that day about three thou- 
 sand men. 
 
 29 ''||For Moses had said, tConsecrate 
 yourselves to-day to Jehovah, even every 
 man upon his son, and upon Ids brother ; 
 that he may bestow upon you a blessing 
 this day. 
 
 30 t And it came to pass on the morrow, 
 that Moses said to the people, l Ye have 
 sinned a great sin : and now I will go up 
 to Jehovah ; !25 perhaps I shall m make an 
 atonement for your sin. 
 
 31 And Moses "returned to Jehovah, and 
 said, Oh, this people have sinned a great 
 sin, and have "made them gods of gold.

 Jehovah talketh with Moses openly. 
 
 32 Yet now, if thou wilt, forgive their sin : 
 and if not, 'blot me, I pray thee, 'out of 
 thy book which thou hast written. 
 
 33 And Jehovah said to Moses, ' Who- 
 ever hath sinned against me, him will I 
 blot out of my book. 
 
 34 Therefore now go, lead the people to 
 the place of which I have spoken to thee : 
 'Behold, mine Angel shall go before thee: 
 nevertheless, 'in the day when I visit, I 
 will visit their sin upon them. 
 
 35 And Jehovah plagued the people, be- 
 cause "they made the calf which Aaron 
 made. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXIII. 
 
 1 JEHOVAH refuseth to go as he had promised with 
 the people. 4 The people murmur thereat. 7 The 
 tabernacle is removed out of the camp. 9 JEHO- 
 VAH talketh familiarly with Moses. 12 Moses 
 desireth to see the glory of God. 
 
 AND Jehovah said to Moses, Depart 
 and go up hence, thou "and the peo- 
 ple whom thou hast brought up out of the 
 land of Egypt, to the land which I swore 
 to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, say- 
 ing, 'To thy seed will I give it : 
 
 2 c And I will send an angel before thee ; 
 d and I will drive out the Canaanite, the 
 Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Periz- 
 zite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite : 
 
 3 'To a land flowing with milk and honey : 
 ■''for I will not go up in the midst of thee ; 
 for thou art a ? stiff-necked people : lest *I 
 consume thee in the way. 
 
 4 *lf And when the people heard these 
 evil tidings 'they mourned : *and no man 
 did put on him his ornaments. 
 
 5 For Jehovah had said to Moses, Say to 
 the children of Israel, 'Yeare a stiff-necked 
 people : I will come 'down m into the midst 
 of thee in a moment, and consume thee : 
 therefore now put off thy ornaments from 
 thee, that I may "know what to do to thee. 
 
 6 And the children of Israel stripped 
 themselves of their ornaments by the mount 
 Horeb. 
 
 7 And Moses took the 2 tent, and pitched 
 it without the camp afar off from the camp, 
 "and called it the 3 Tent of the Congrega- 
 tion. And it came to pass, that every one 
 who 'sought Jehovah, went out to the 
 4 tent of the congregation, which was with- 
 out the camp. 
 
 8 And it came to pass when Moses went 
 out to the 5 tent, 6 all the people rose up, 
 and stood 7 each man q at his tent-door, and 
 looked after Moses, until he was gone into 
 the 8 tent. 
 
 9 And it came to pass, as Moses entered 
 into the "tent, the cloudy pillar descended, 
 and stood at the door of the 10 tent, and 
 JEHOV£H r ta\ked with Moses. 
 
 10 And all the people saw the cloudy 
 pillar stand at the "tent-door : and all the 
 people rose up and 'worshipped 12 each man 
 in his tent-door. 
 
 11 And 'Jehovah spoke to Moses face to 
 face, as a man speaketh to his friend. And 
 he turned again into the camp ; but "his 
 servant Joshua the son of Nun, a young 
 man, departed not out of the ,3 tent. 
 
 12 If And Moses 'had' said to Jehovah, 
 See, x thou sayest to me, Bring up this 
 people: and thou hast not let me know 
 whom thou will send with me. Yet 
 thou hast said, "I know thee by name, 
 
Moses desireth to see the glory of God. CHAPTER XXXIV. 
 
 GocPs covenant with the people. 
 
 and thou hast also found "favour in my 
 sight. 
 
 13 Now therefore, I pray thee, r if I have 
 found l5 favour in thy sight, "shew me now 
 thy way, that I may know thee, that I may 
 find '"favour in thy sight: and consider 
 that this nation is 'thy people. 
 
 14 And he said, c My presence shall go 
 with thee, and I will give thee ''rest. 
 
 15 And he said to him, 'If thy presence 
 go not with me, carry us not up hence. 
 
 16 For IT how shall it be known here that 
 I and thy people have found 18 favour in thy 
 sight ? Us it not in that thou goest with 
 us ? So *shall we be ^distinguished, I and 
 thy people, from all the people that are 
 upon the face of the earth. 
 
 17 And Jehovah said to Moses, *I will 
 do this thing also that thou hast spoken : 
 for 'thou hast found 20 favour in my sight, 
 and I know thee by name. 
 
 18 And he said, I beseech thee, shew me 
 *thy glory. 
 
 19 And he said, 'I will make all my good- 
 ness pass before thee, and I will proclaim 
 the name of Jehovah before thee ; m and 
 will be "gracious to whom I will be gra- 
 cious, and will shew mercy 21 to whom I 
 will shew mercy. 
 
 20 And he said, Thou canst not see my 
 face : for "there ^can no man see me, and 
 live. 
 
 21 And Jehovah said, Behold, there is a 
 place by me, and thou shalt stand upon 
 M the rock : 
 
 22 And it shall come to pass, while my 
 glory passeth by, that I will put thee ''in a 
 cleft of the rock ; and will 'cover thee with 
 my hand while I pass by : 
 
 23 And I will take away my hand, and 
 thou shalt see my back parts : but my face 
 shall 'not be seen. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXIV. 
 
 1 The tables are renewed. 5 The name of JEHOVAH 
 ' proclaimed. 8 Moses entreateth God to go with 
 them. 10 God maketh a covenant with them, re- 
 peating certain duties of the first table. 28 Mo- 
 ses after forty days in the mount cometh down 
 with the tables. 29 His face shineth, and he cover- 
 eth it with a vail. 
 
 AND Jehovah said to Moses, "Hew thee 
 two tables of stone like ' the first : 'and 
 I will write upon these tables the words 
 that were in the first tables which thou 
 didst break. 
 
 2 And be ready in the morning, and come 
 up in the morning to mount Sinai, and pre- 
 sent thyself there to me "in the top of the 
 mount. 
 
 3 And no man shall ''come up with thee, 
 neither let any man be seen throughout all 
 the mount: neither let the flocks nor herds 
 feed before that mount. 
 
 4 1 And he hewed two tables of stone, 
 like z the first; and Moses rose up early in 
 the morning, and went up to mount Sinai, 
 as Jehovah had commanded him, and took 
 in his hand the two tables of stone. 
 
 5 And Jehovah descended in the cloud, 
 and stood with him there, and "proclaimed 
 the name of Jehovah. 
 
 6 And Jehovah passed by before him, 
 and proclaimed, Jehovah, Jehovah 'God, 
 merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and 
 abundant in ^goodness and 'truth, 
 
 7 'Keeping mercy for thousands, 'forgiv-

 ing iniquity and transgression and sin, and 
 'that will by no means clear the guilty; 
 visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon 
 the children, and upon the children's child- 
 ren, to the third and to the fourth gene- 
 ration. 
 
 8 And Moses made haste, and "'bowed 
 his head towards the earth, and worship- 
 ped. 
 
 9 And he said, If now I have found fa- 
 vour in thy sight, O Lord, "let my Lord, I 
 pray thee, go among us (for °*they are a 
 stift-necked people) and pardon our ini- 
 quity and our sin, and take us for nhine 
 inheritance. 
 
 10 If And he said, Behold, «I make a co- 
 venant: before all thy people I will r do 
 6 wonders, such as have not been done in 
 all the earth, nor in any nation : and all 
 the people among whom thou art shall see 
 the work of Jehovah : for it is *a terrible 
 thing that I will do with thee. 
 
 11 'Observe thou that which I command 
 thee this day: Behold, "I drive out before 
 thee the A.morite, and the Canaanite, and 
 the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the 
 Hivite, and the Jebusite. 
 
 12 "Take heed to thyself, lest thou make 
 a covenant with the inhabitants of the land 
 whither thou goest, lest it be for ?a snare 
 in the midst of thee : 
 
 13 But ye shall * destroy their altars, 
 break their timages, and "cut down their 
 groves : 
 
 14 For thou shalt worship *no other god : 
 for Jehovah, whose 'name is Jealous, is a 
 ^jealous God : 
 
 # 15 'Lest thou make a covenant with the 
 inhabitants of the land, and they 'go lewd- 
 ly after their gods, and 7 sacrifice to their 
 gods, and one f call thee, and thou "eat of 
 his sacrifice ; 
 
 16 And thou take of 'their daughters to 
 thy sons, and their daughters ft go 8 lewdly 
 after their gods, and make thy sons go 
 9 lewdly after their gods. 
 
 17 'Thou shalt make thee no molten gods. 
 
 18 ^ The feast of "unleavened bread shalt 
 thou keep. Seven days shalt thou eat un- 
 leavened bread, as I commanded thee, in 
 the time of the month Abib : for in the 
 "month Abib thou earnest out from Egypt. 
 
 19 "All that I0 are^ first brought forth are 
 mine : and every firstling among thy cat- 
 tle, whether ox or sheep, that is male. 
 
 20 But ''the firstling of an ass thou shalt 
 redeem with a ||lamb : and if thou redeem 
 him not, then shalt thou break his neck. 
 All the first-born of thy sons thou shalt 
 redeem. And none shall appear before 
 me 'empty. 
 
 21 t r Six days thou shalt work, but on 
 the seventh day thou shalt rest: in "plow- 
 ing-time and in harvest thou shalt rest. 
 
 22 U 'And thou shalt observe the feast of 
 weeks, of the first-fruits of wheat-harVest, 
 and the feast of in -gathering at the tyear's 
 end. 
 
 23 ^f 'Thrice in the year shall all your 
 male-children appear before the Lord Je- 
 hovah, the God of Israel. 
 
 24 For I will "cast out the nations before 
 thee, and ^enlarge thv borders: "neither 
 shall any man desire thy land, when thou 
 shalt go up to appear before Jehovah thy 
 God thrice in the year, 
 
 67 
 
Moses'' face shineth. 
 
 25 Thou shalt not offer the blood of my 
 sacrifice with leaven, "neither shall the 
 sacrifice of the feast of the passover be 
 left until the morning. 
 
 26 'The first of the first-fruits of thy land 
 thou shalt bring to the house of Jehovah 
 thy God. Thou shalt not 12 boil a kid in 
 its mother's milk. 
 
 27 And Jehovah said to Moses, Write 
 thou d these words : for after the tenor of 
 these words I have made a covenant with 
 thee, and with Israel. 
 
 28 'And he was there with Jehovah forty 
 days and forty nights ; he did neither eat 
 bread nor drink water. And 'He wrote 
 upon the tables the words of the covenant, 
 the ten t "commandments. 
 
 29 If And it came to pass when Moses 
 came down from mount Sinai (with the 
 'two tables of testimony in Moses' hand, 
 when he came down from the mount) that 
 Moses 14 knew not that A the skin of his face 
 shone, while He talked with him. 
 
 30 And when Aaron and all the children 
 of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of 
 his face shone, and they were afraid to 
 come nigh him. 
 
 31 And Moses called to them; and Aaron 
 and all the rulers of the congregation re- 
 turned to him: and Moses talked with 
 them. 
 
 32 And afterward all the children of Is- 
 rael came nigh : ; and he gave them in com- 
 mandment all that Jehovah had spoken 
 with him in mount Sinai. 
 
 33 And ™when Moses had done speaking 
 with them, he put *a vail on his face. 
 
 34 But 'when Moses went in before Je- 
 hovah to speak with him, he took the vail 
 off, until he came out. And he came out 
 and spoke to the children of Israel that 
 which he was commanded. 
 
 35 And the children of Israel saw the 
 face of Moses, that the skin of Moses' 
 face shone : and Moses put the vail upon 
 his face again, until he went in to speak 
 with Him. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXV. 
 
 1 The sabbath. 4 The free gifts for the tabernacle. 
 20 The readiness of the people to offer. 30 Beza- 
 leel and Aholiab are called to the work. 
 
 AND Moses gathered all the congrega- 
 tion of the children of Israel together, 
 and said to them, "These are the words 
 which Jehovah hath commanded, that ye 
 should do them. 
 
 2 'Six days shall work be done, but on 
 the seventh day there shall be to you ta 
 holy day, a sabbath of rest to Jehovah : 
 whosoever doeth work therein shall be put 
 to death. 
 
 3 c Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your 
 habitations upon the sabbath-day. 
 
 4 If And Moses spoke to all the congre- 
 gation of the children of Israel, saying, 
 "This is the thing which Jehovah 'hath' 
 commanded, saying, 
 
 5 Take ye from among you an offering to 
 Jehovah : ' whoever is of a willing heart, 
 let him bring it, an offering 'for Jehovah ;

 children of Israel departed from the pre- 
 sence of Moses. 
 
 21 And they came, every one 'whose 
 heart excited him, and every one whom 
 his spirit made willing, and they brought 
 Jehovah's offering to the work ot the 8 tent 
 of the congregation, and for all its service, 
 and for the holy garments. 
 
 22 And they came, both men and women, 
 as many as were willing-hearted, and 
 brought 9 clasps, and ear-rings, and rings, 
 and 10 drops, all jewels of gold : and every 
 man that offered, offered an offering of 
 gold to Jehovah. 
 
 23 And "every man with whom was found 
 blue, and purple, and "crimson, and fine 
 linen, and goats' hair, and red skins of 
 rams, and badgers' skins, brought them. 
 
 24 Every one that did offer an offering 
 of silver and brass brought Jehovah's of- 
 fering: and every man with whom was 
 found ^acacia-wood for any work of the 
 service, brought it. 
 
 25 And all the women that were "wise- 
 hearted did spin with their hands, and 
 brought that which they had spun, both of 
 blue, and of purple, and of "crimson, and 
 of fine linen. 
 
 26 And all the women whose heart stir- 
 red them up in wisdom spun goats' hair. 
 
 27 And 'the rulers brought onyx-stones, 
 and stones to be set, for the ephod, and 
 for the breast-plate ; 
 
 28 And "spice, and oil for the light, and 
 for the anointing oil, and for the sweet 
 incense. 
 
 29 The children of Israel brought a *wil- 
 ling offering to Jehovah, every man and 
 woman, whose heart made them willing to 
 bring, for all manner of work which Jeho- 
 
Bezuleel and Aholidb called. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXVI. 
 
 1 "he curtains and boards. 
 
 vah had commanded to be made by the 
 hand of Moses. 
 
 30 % And Moses said to the children of 
 Israel, See, "Jehovah hath called by name 
 Bezaleel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, 
 of the tribe of Judah ; 
 
 31 And he hath filled him with the spirit 
 of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and 
 in knowledge, and in all manner of work- 
 manship ; 
 
 32 And to devise "skilful works, to work 
 in gold, and in silver, and in brass, 
 
 33 And in the cutting of stones, to set 
 them, and in carving of wood, to make 
 any 15 kind of skilful work. 
 
 34 And he hath put in his heart that he 
 may teach, both he, and 'Aholiab, the son 
 of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. 
 
 35 Them hath he 'filled with wisdom of 
 heart, to work all manner of work, of the 
 engraver, and of the 16 skilful workman, 
 and of the embroiderer, in blue, and in 
 purple, in "crimson, and in fine linen, and 
 of the weaver, even of them that do any 
 work, and of those that devise 16 skilful 
 work. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXVI. 
 
 1 The offerings are delivered to the workmen. 5 The 
 liberality of the people is restrained. 8 The cur- 
 tains of Cherubim. 14 The curtains of goats 1 hair. 
 19 The covering of skins. 20 The hoards with their 
 sockets. 31 The bars. 35 The vail. 37 The hang- 
 ing for the door. 
 THEN wrought Bezaleel and Aholiab, 
 and every "wise -hearted man, in whom 
 Jehovah 'had' put wisdom and under- 
 standing to know how to work all 2 kinds 
 of work for the service of the 'sanctuary, 
 according to all that Jehovah had com- 
 manded. 
 
 2 And Moses called Bezaleel and Aho- 
 liab, and every wise-hearted man, in whose 
 heart Jehovah had put wisdom, even every 
 one 'whose heart excited him to come to 
 the work to do it : 
 
 3 And they received of Moses all the 
 offering which the children of Israel fliad 
 brought for the work of the service of the 
 sanctuary, to make it 3 . And they brought 
 yet to him free-offerings every morn- 
 ing. 
 
 4 And all the wise men, that wrought all 
 the work of the sanctuary, came every man 
 from his work which they made ; 
 
 5 ^ And they spoke to Moses, saying, 
 'The people bring much more than enough 
 for the service of the work which Jehovah 
 commanded to make. 
 
 6 And Moses gave commandment, and 
 they caused it to be proclaimed throughout 
 the camp, saying, Let neither man nor 
 woman make any more work for the offer 
 ing of the sanctuary. So the people were 
 restrained from bringing. 
 
 7 For the stuff they had was sufficient for 
 all the work to make it, and too much. 
 
 8 If •''And every wise-hearted man among 
 them that wrought the work of the taber 
 nacle made ten curtains of fine twined 
 linen, and blue, and purple, and 4 crimson 
 with 5 cherubim of 6 skilful work made he 
 them. 
 
 9 The length of one curtain was twenty 
 and eight cubits, and the breadth of one

 edge of one curtain from the selvedge in 
 the coupling: likewise he made in the 
 uttermost side of another curtain, in the 
 coupling of the second. 
 
 12 fFitty loops made he in one curtain, 
 and fifty loops made he in the edge of the 
 curtain which was in the coupling of the 
 second : the loops s stood over against each 
 other. 
 
 13 And he made fifty 9 hooks of gold, 
 and coupled the curtains one to another 
 with the 10 hooks. So it became one "taber-

 14 ^f ''And he made curtains of goats' 
 hair for I2 a tent over the tabernacle : ele- 
 ven curtains he made them. 
 
 15 The length of one curtain was thirty 
 cubits, and four cubits ivas the breadth of 
 one curtain : the eleven curtains were of 
 one "measure. 
 
 16 And he coupled five curtains by them- 
 selves, and six curtains by themselves. 
 
 17 And he made fifty loops upon the ut- 
 termost edge of the curtain in the coupling, 
 and fifty loops made he upon the edge of 
 the curtain which coupleth the second ; 
 
 18 And he made fifty u hooks of brass to 
 couple the tent together, that it might be 
 one. 
 
 19 'And he made a covering for the tent 
 of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering 
 of badgers' skins above that.

 nacle of 15 acacia-wood, standing up. 
 
 21 The length of a board was ten cubits, 
 and the breadth of a board one cubit and 
 a half. 
 
 22 One board had two tenons, I6 set. in 
 order one against another: thus did he 
 make for all the boards of the tabernacle. 
 
 23 And he made boards for the taber- 
 nacle; twenty boards for the south side 
 southward : 
 
 24 And forty sockets of silver he made 
 under the twenty boards; two sockets 
 under one board for its two tenons, and 
 two sockets under another board for its 
 two tenons. 
 
 25 And for the "second side of the taber- 
 nacle ,8 on the north 19 side, he made twenty 
 boards, 
 
 26 And their forty sockets of silver ; two 
 sockets under one board, and two sockets 
 under another board. 
 
 27 And for the sides of the tabernacle 
 westward he made six boards. 
 
 28 And two boards made he for the cor- 
 ners of the tabernacle in the two sides. 
 
 29 And they were coupled beneath, and 
 coupled together at the head thereof, to 
 one ring : thus he did to both of them in 
 both the corners. 
 
 30 And there were eight boards; and 
 their sockets were sixteen sockets of sil- 
 ver, tunder 20 each board two sockets. 
 
 31 If And he made 'bars qf 2l acacia-Avood ; 
 five for the boards of the one side of the

 work, to do service in the holy place, and 
 made the holy garments for Aaron ; 'as 
 Jehovah ' had' commanded Moses. 
 
 2 d And he made the ephod of gold, blue, 
 and purple, and 4 crimson, and fine twined 
 linen. 
 
 3 And they did beat the gold into thin 
 plates, and cut it into threads, to work it 
 in the blue, and in the purple, and in the 
 6 crimson, and in the fine linen, with 'skil- 
 ful work. 
 
 4 They made shoulder-pieces for it, to 
 couple it together : by the two edges was 
 it coupled together. 
 
 5 And the curious girdle of his ephod, 
 that was upon it, toas of the same, accord- 
 ing to the work thereof; of gold, blue, and 
 purple, and 8 crimson, and fine twined 
 linen ; as Jehovah ' had' commanded Mo- 
 ses. 
 
 6 If 'And they wrought onyx-stones en- 
 closed in 'sockets of gold, engraved 10 like 
 the engravings of a seal, with the names 
 of the children of Israel. 
 
 7 And he put them on the shoulders of 
 the ephod, that they should be stones for a 
 'memorial to the children of Israel; as 
 Jehovah ' had' commanded Moses. 
 
 8 If «And he made the breast-plate of 
 "skilful work, like the work of the ephod ; 
 of gold, blue, and purple, and "crimson, 
 and fine twined linen. 
 
 9 It was square ; they made the breast- 
 plate double : a span was the length there- 
 of, and a span the breadth thereof, being 
 doubled. 
 
 10 *And they set in it four rows of stones: 
 
 71

 "sockets ofgold in their enclosings. 
 
 14 And the stones were according to the 
 names of the children of Israel, twelve, 
 according to their names, like the engrav- 
 ings of a ,5 seal, each one with his name, 
 according to the twelve tribes. 
 
 15 And they made upon the breast-plate 
 chains at the ends, o/ wreathen work of 
 pure gold. 
 
 16 And they made two '"sockets of gold, 
 and two gold rings, and put the two rings 
 17 on the two ends of the breast-plate. 
 
 17 And they put the two wreathen chains 
 of gold in the two rings on the ends of the

 18 And the two ends of the two wreathen 
 chains ihey fastened 18 on the two "sockets, 
 and put them on the shoulder-pieces of 
 the ephod, before it. 
 
 19 And they made two rings of gold, and 
 put them on the two ends of the breast- 
 plate, upon the border of it, which was on 
 the side of the ephod inward. 
 
 20 And they made two other golden rings, 
 and put them on the two sides of the ephod 
 underneath, towards the forepart of it, 
 over against the other coupling thereof, 
 above the curious girdle of the ephod : 
 _ 21 And they did bind the breast-plate by 
 its rings to the rings of the ephod with a 
 20 cord of blue, that it might be above the 
 curious girdle of the ephod, and that the 
 breast-plate might not be loosed from the 
 ephod; as Jehovah 'had' commanded 
 Moses. 
 
 22 ^[ 'And he made the robe of the ephod 
 of woven work, all of blue. 
 
 23 And there was a hole in the midst 
 of the robe, as the hole of a 21 coat of mail, 
 with a ^border round about the hole, that 
 it should not rend. 
 
 24 And they made upon the 23 skirts of 
 the robe pomegranates of blue, and purple, 
 and 24 crimson, and twined linen. 
 
 i 25 And they made *bells of pure gold, 
 and put the bells between the pomegra- 
 nates upon the 23 skirts of the robe, round 
 about between the pomegranates ;

 pomegranate, round about the 2C skirts of 
 the robe to minister in ; as Jehovah ' had' 
 commanded Moses.

 29 "And a girdle o/fine twined linen, and 
 blue, and purple, and 30 crimson, of needle- 
 work ; as Jehovah ' had' commanded 
 Moses. 
 
 30 If 'And they made the plate of the holy 
 crown of pure gold, and wrote upon it a 
 writing, like to the engravings of a 31 seal, 
 32 HOLINESS TO JEHOVAH.

 sons to the door of the 'tent of the congre- 
 gation, and wash them with water. 
 
 13 And thou shalt put upon Aaron the 
 holy garments, m and anoint nim, and sanc- 
 tify him ; that he may minister to me in 
 the priest's office. 
 
 14 And thou shalt bring his sons, and 
 clothe them with coats : 
 
 15 And thou shalt anoint them, as thou 
 didst anoint their father, that they may 
 minister to me in the priest's office: for 
 their anointing shall surely be "an ever- 
 lasting priesthood throughout their gene- 
 rations. 
 
 16 Thus did Moses; according to all that 
 Jehovah ' had' commanded him, so did he. 
 
 17 If And it came to pass in the first 
 month, in the second year, on the first day 
 of the month, that the "tabernacle was 
 reared up. 
 
 18 And Moses reared up the tabernacle, 
 and fastened its sockets, and set up the 
 boards thereof, and put in the bars there- 
 of, and reared up its pillars. 
 
 19 And he spread abroad the tent over 
 the tabernacle, and put the covering of the 
 tent above upon it; as Jehovah 'had' com- 
 manded Moses. 
 
 20 f And he took and put ?the testimony 
 into the ark, and set the staves on the ark, 
 and put the mercy-seat above upon the 
 ark: 
 
 21 And he brought the ark into the taber- 
 nacle, and 'set up the vail of the covering, 
 and covered the ark of the testimony; as 
 Jehovah ' had' commanded Moses. 
 
 22 f r And lie put the table in the tent of 
 the congregation, upon the, side of the ta- 
 bernacle northward, without the vail. 
 
 23 'And he set the bread in order upon 
 it before Jehovah ; as Jehovah had com- 
 manded Moses.

 2 Speak to the children of Israel, and say 
 to them, c If any man of you bring an offer- 
 ing to Jehovah, ye shall bring your offer- 
 ing of the cattle, even of the nerd, and of 
 the flock. 
 
 3 If his offering be a burnt-sacrifice of the 
 herd, let him offer a male ^without blemish :

 door of the 3 tent of the congregation before 
 Jehovah.

 head of the burnt-offering ; and it shall be 
 ■''accepted for him ? to make atonement for

 vah concerning things which ought not to 
 be done, and shall do against any of them: 
 
 3 'If the priest that is anointed do sin ac- 
 cording to the sin of the people ; then let 
 him bring for his sin which heliath. sinned, 
 c a' young bullock without blemish to Jeho- 
 vah for a sin-offering. 
 
 4 And he shall bring the bullock d to the 
 door of the 2 tent of the congregation be- 
 fore Jehovah ; and shall lay his hand upon 
 the bullock's head, and kill the bullock be- 
 fore Jehovah. 
 
 5 And the priest that is anointed 'shall 
 take 'some' of the bullock's blood, and 
 bring it to the 'tent of the congregation : 
 
 6 And the priest shall dip his finger in 
 the blood, and sprinkle 'some' of the 
 blood seven times before Jehovah, before 
 the vail of the sanctuary. 
 
 7 And the priest shall ^put some of the 
 blood upon the horns of the altar of sweet 
 incense, before Jehovah which is in the 
 "tent of the congregation ; and shall pour 
 ? all the blood of the bullock at the bottom 
 of the altar of the burnt-offering, which is 
 at the door of the 5 tent of the congrega- 
 tion.

 Israel sin through ignorance, "and the 
 thing be '"hidden from the eyes of the as- 
 sembly, and they have done "something 
 against any of the commandments of Je- 
 hovah concerning things which should 
 not be done, and are guilty ; 
 
 14 When the sin which they have sinned 
 against it is known, then the congregation 
 shall offer a young bullock for the sin, and 
 bring him before the 12 tent of the congre- 
 gation. 
 
 15 And the elders of the congregation 
 "shall lay their hands upon the head of the 
 bullock before Jehovah: and the bullock 
 shall be killed before Jehovah.

 bring ' some' of the bullock's blood to the 
 l3 tent of the congregation : 
 
 17 And the priest shall dip his finger in 
 some of the blood, and sprinkle it seven 
 times before Jehovah, even before the vail. 
 
 18 And he shall put some of the blood 
 upon the horns of the altar which is before 
 Jehovah, that is in the 14 tent of the con- 
 gregation, and shall pour out all the blood 
 at the bottom of the altar of the burnt-of-

 shall make an atonement for them, and it 
 shall be forgiven them.

 burnt-offering, according to the || n6 custom : 
 "and the priest shall make an atonement 
 for him for his sin which he hath sinned, 
 and it shall be forgiven him. 
 
 11 ^ But if he be not able to bring two 
 turtle-doves, or two young pigeons ; then 
 he that sinned shall bring for his offering 
 the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for 
 a sin-offering ; p he shall put no oil upon it, 
 neither shall he put any frankincense 
 thereon : for it is a sin-offering. 
 
 12 Then shall he bring it to the priest, 
 and the priest shall take his handful of it,

 the altar, 'according to the offerings made 
 by fire to Jehovah : it is a sin -offering.

 ment for him 'concerning his sin that he 
 hath sinned in one of these, and it shall be 
 forgiven him : and 'the remnant shall be 
 the priest's, as a 8 meal-off'ering. 
 
 14 1[ And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 
 
 15 "If a 'person commit a trespass, and 
 sin through ignorance, in the holy things 
 of Jehovah ; then *he shall bring for his 
 trespass to Jehovah a ram without blemish 
 out of the flocks, with thy estimation by 
 shekels of silver, "according to *the shekel 
 of the sanctuary, for a trespass-offering : 
 
 16 And he shall make amends for the 
 harm that he hath done in the holy thing, 
 and 2 shall add the fifth part thereto, and 
 give it to the priest : "and the priest shall 
 make an atonement for him with the ram 
 of the trespass-offering, and it shall be 
 forgiven him. 
 
 17 If And if a * "person sin, and commit 
 any of these things which are forbidden to 
 be done by the commandments of Jeho- 
 vah; 'though he 12 knew it not, yet is he. 
 d guilty, and shall bear his iniquity. 
 
 18 'And he shall bring a ram without 
 blemish out of the flock, with thy estima - 
 tion, for a trespass-offering to the priest ; 
 %id the priest shall make an atonement 
 for him concerning his ignorance wherein 
 he erred and ,3 knew it not, and it shall be 
 forgiven him. 
 
 19 It is a trespass-offering: 4ie hath 
 certainly trespassed against Jehovah.

 The law of the burnt-offering, 14 and of the ^meal- 
 offering. 19 The offering at the consecration of a 
 priest. 24 The law of the sin-offering. 
 
 AND Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 
 2 If a 3 person sin, and "commit a tres- 
 pass against Jehovah, and *lie to his neigh- 
 bour in that 'which was delivered him to 
 keep, or in ||t 4 trust, or in a thing taken

The law of the burnt-offering. 
 
 3 Or 'have found that which was lost, and 
 lieth concerning it, and ^sweareth falsely ; 
 in any of all these that a man doeth, sin- 
 ning therein : 
 
 4 Then it shall be, because he hath sin- 
 ned and is guilty, that he shall restore that 
 which he took violently away, or the thing 
 which he hath 6 extorted, or that which was 
 delivered him to keep, or the lost thing 
 which he ' hath' found, 
 
 5 Or all that about which he hath sworn 
 falsely; he shall even ^restore it in the 
 principal, and shall add the fifth part more 
 thereto, and give it to him to whom it 7 be- 
 longeth, || tin the day of his trespass-offering'. 
 
 6 And he shall bring his trespass -offering 
 to Jehovah, *a ram without blemish out of 
 the flock, with thy estimation, for a tres- 
 pass-offering, to the priest : 
 
 7 'And the priest snail make an atone- 
 ment for him before Jehovah : and it shall 
 be forgiven him for any thing of all that 
 he hath done in trespassing therein. 
 
 8 If And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 
 
 9 Command Aaron and his sons, saying, 
 This is the law of the burnt-offering : It is 
 the burnt-offering, ||because of the burning 
 upon the altar allnight to the morning, and 
 the fire of the altar shall be burning in it. 
 
 10 'And the priest shall put on his linen 
 garment, and his linen 8 drawers shall he 
 put upon his flesh, and take up the ashes 
 which the fire hath consumed with the 
 burnt-offering on the altar, and he shall 
 put them 'beside the altar. * 
 
 11 And m he shall put off* his garments, 
 and put on other garments, and carry forth 
 the ashes without the camp "to a clean 
 place. 
 
 12 And the fire upon the altar shall be 
 burning on it ; it shall not be put out : and 
 the priest shall burn wood on it every 
 morning, and lay the burnt-offering in 
 order upon it; and he shall^burn thereon 
 "the fat of the 9 thank-offerings. 
 
 13 The fire shall ever be burning upon 
 the altar ; it shall never go out. 
 
 14 f PAnd this is the law of the 10 meal- 
 off'ering. The sons of Aaron shall offer it 
 before Jehovah, before the altar. 
 
 15 And he shall take of it his handful, of 
 the flour of the "meal-offering, and of the 
 oil thereof, and all the frankincense which 
 is upon the 12 meal-offering, and shall burn 
 it upon the altar for a sweet "odour, even 
 the 'memorial of it, to Jehovah. 
 
 16 And the remainder thereof shall Aaron 
 and his sons eat : 'with unleavened bread 
 shall it be eaten in the holy place ; in the 
 court of the "tent of the congregation they 
 shall eat it.

 ing, and half thereof at night. 
 
 21 In a pan it shall be made with oil ; 
 and when it is "fried, thou shalt bring it 
 in : and the I8 cooked pieces of the 19 meal- 
 oftering shalt thou offer for a sweet 20 odour 
 to Jehovah. 
 
 22 And the priest of his sons ''that is 
 anointed in his stead shall offer it : It is 
 21 an ordinance for ever to Jehovah; 'it 
 shall be wholly burnt. 
 
 23 For every 22 meal-offering for the priest 
 shall be wholly burnt: it shall not be eaten. 
 
 24 If And Jehovah spoke to Moses, say- 
 ing, 
 
 25 Speak to Aaron and to his sons, say- 
 ing, /This is the law of the sin-offering: 
 ? In the place where the burnt-offering is 
 killed shall the sin-offering be killed be- 
 fore Jehovah : A it is most holy. 
 
 26 'The priest that ott'ereth it for sin shall 
 eat it : *in the holy place shall it be eaten, 
 in the court of the 23 tent of the congrega- 
 tion 
 
 27 'Whatever shall touch the flesh there- 
 of shall be holy: and when there is sprin- 
 kled ' some' of the blood thereof upon any 
 garment, thou shalt wash that whereon it 
 was sprinkled in the holy place. 
 
 28 But the earthen vessel wherein it is 
 24 boiled ""shall be broken: and if it be 
 25 boiled in a brazen pot, it shall be both 
 scoured, and rinsed in water. 
 
 29 "All the males among the priests shall 
 eat thereof: "it is most holy. 
 
 30 *And no sin-offering, of which any of 
 the blood is brought into the 26 tent of the 
 congregation to 27 inake atonement 28 in 
 the no\y place, shall be eaten: it shall be 
 burnt in the fire. 
 
 CHAPTER VII. 
 
 1 The law of the trespass-offering, II and of the 
 1 thank-offerings, 12 whether it be for a thanks- 
 giving, 16 or a voiv, or a free-will-offering, 22 
 The fat, 26 and the blood, are forbidden. 28 The 
 priests' portion in the Hhank-offerings. 
 
 LIKEWISE "this is the law of the tres- 
 pass-offering : 'it is most holy. 
 
 2 c In the place where they kill the burnt- 
 offering shall they kill the trespass-offer- 
 ing: and the blood thereof shall he sprinkle 
 round about upon the altar. 
 
 3 And he shall offer of it "all the fat 
 thereof; the 3 tail, and the fat that covereth 
 the inwards, 
 
 4 And the two kidneys, and the fat that 
 is on them, which is by the flanks, and the 
 caul that is above the liver, with the kid- 
 neys, it shall he take away : 
 
 5 And the priest shall burn them upon 
 the altar for an offering made by fire to 
 Jehovah : it is a trespass-offering. 
 
 6 'Every male among the priests shall eat 
 thereof: it shall be eaten in the holy place: 
 / it is most holy. 
 
 7 As the sin-offering is, so is f the tres- 
 pass-offering : there is one law for them : 
 the priest that maketh atonement 'there- 
 with shall have it. 
 
 8 And the priest that oftereth any man's 
 burnt-offering, even the priest shall have 
 to himself the. skin of the burnt-offering 
 which he hath offered. 
 
 9 And *all the meat-offering that is baken 
 
 77 
 
 
The law of the thank-offerings. 
 
 in the oven, and all that is dressed in the 
 4 pot, and ||in the pan, shall be the priest's 
 that oft'ereth it. 
 
 10 And every 5 meal-offering mingled with 
 oil, and dry, shall all the sons of Aaron 
 have, one as much as another. 
 
 11 And 'this is the law of the sacrifice 
 of "thank-offerings, which he shall offer to 
 Jehovah. 
 
 12 If lie offer it for a thanksgiving, then 
 lie shall offer with the sacrifice of thanks- 
 giving unleavened cakes mingled with oil, 
 and unleavened wafers 'anointed with oil, 
 and cakes mingled with oil, of fine flour, 
 fried. 
 
 13 Besides the cakes, he shall offer for his 
 offering, 'leavened bread, with the sacrifice 
 of thanksgiving of his 'thank-offerings. 
 
 14 And of it lie shall offer one out of the 
 whole oblation for a heave-offering to Je- 
 hovah, m and it shall be the priest's that 
 sprinkleth the blood of the 8 thank-offerings. 
 
 15 "And the flesh of the sacrifice of his 
 9 thank-ofterings for thanksgiving shall be 
 eaten the same day that it is ottered ; he 
 shall not leave any of it until the morning. 
 
 16 But "if the sacrifice of his ottering be 
 a vow, or a voluntary offering, it shall be 
 eaten the same day that he offereth his 
 sacrifice : and on the morrow also the re- 
 mainder of it shall be eaten : 
 
 17 But the remainder of the flesh of the 
 sacrifice on the third day shall be burnt 
 with fire. 
 
 18 And if any of the flesh of the sacri- 
 fice of his 10 thank : offerings be eaten at all 
 on the third day, it shall not be accepted, 
 neither shall it be ^imputed to him that 
 offereth it: it shall be an 'abomination, and 
 the person that eateth of it shall bear his 
 iniquity. 
 
 19 And the flesh that toucheth any un- 
 clean thing shall not be eaten ; it shall be 
 burnt with fire : and as for the flesh, all 
 that be clean shall eat thereof. 
 
 20 But the "person that eateth o^the flesh 
 of the sacrifice of 12 thank-offerings that 
 ^belong to Jehovah, 'having his unclean- 
 ness upon him, even that "person 'shall be 
 cut off from his people. 
 
 21 Moreover, the "person that shall touch 
 any unclean thing, as 'the uncleanness of 
 man, or any "unclean beast, or any ""abo- 
 minable unclean thing, and eat of the flesh 
 of the sacrifice of 16 thank-oft'erings which 
 pertain to Jehovah, even that "person 
 x shall be cut off from his people. 
 
 22 ^[ And Jehovah spoke to Moses, say- 
 ing, 
 
 23 Speak to the children of Israel, say- 
 ing, y Ye shall eat no 18 kind of fat, of ox, 
 or of sheep, or of goat. 
 
 24 And the fat of the tbeast that dieth of 
 itself, and the fat of that which is torn I9 by 
 beasts, may be used in any other use : but 
 ye shall 20 by no means eat of it. 
 
 25 For whoever eateth the fat of the 
 beast, of which men offer an offering made 
 by fire to Jehovah, even the "person that 
 eateth it shall be cut off from his people. 
 
 26 'Moreover, ye shall eat no ^kind of 
 blood, whether it be of fowl or of beast, 
 in any of your dwellings. 
 
 27 Whatever ** person it be that eateth 
 any "kind of blood, even that ^person shall 
 be cut off from his people.

 The priests' portion. 
 
 28 f And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 
 
 29 Speak to the children oT Israel, say- 
 ing, "He that oft'ereth the sacrifice of his 
 2S thank-qfferings to Jehovah, shall bring 
 his oblation to Jehovah of the sacrifice of 
 his 27 thank-offerings. 
 
 30 'His own hands shall bring the offer- 
 ings of Jehovah made by fire; the fat with 
 the breast, it shall he bring, that the breast 
 may be waved for a wave-ottering before 
 Jehovah. 
 
 31 d And the priest shall burn the fat upon 
 the altar : 'but the breast shall be Aaron's 
 and his sons'. 
 
 32 And (the right shoulder shall ye give 
 to the priest for a heave-offering of the 
 sacrifices of your 2s thank-oft'erings. 
 
 33 He among the sons of Aaron that of- 
 fereth the blood of the 29 thank-offerings, 
 and the fat, shall have the right shoulder 
 for his part. 
 
 34 For *the wave-breast and the heave- 
 shoulder have I taken of the children of 
 Israel from off the sacrifices of their ^thank- 
 offerings, and have given them to Aaron 
 the priest, and to his sons, by 31 an ordi- 
 nance for ever, from among the children 
 of Israel. 
 
 35 II This is the portion of the anointing 
 of Aaron, and of the anointing of his sons, 
 out of the offerings of Jehovah made by 
 tire, in the day when he presented them to 
 minister to Jehovah in the priest's office; 
 
 36 Which Jehovah commanded to be 
 given them 32 by the children of Israel ft in 
 the day that he anointed them, by M an or- 
 dinance for ever throughout their genera- 
 tions. 
 
 37 This is the law 'of the burnt-ofterins, 
 *of the w meal -offering, 'and of the sin -of- 
 fering, m and of the trespass-offering, "and 
 of 'the consecrations, and "of the sacrifice 
 of the 35 thank-offerings ; 
 
 38 Which Jehovah commanded Moses 
 in mount Sinai, in the day that he com- 
 manded the children of Israel ''to offer their 
 oblations to Jehovah, in the 3G desert of Si- 
 
 nai. 
 
 CHAPTER VIII. 
 
 1 Moses consecrateth Aaron and his sons. 14 Tlieir 
 sin-offering. 18 Their burnt-offering. 22 The 
 ram of consecrations. 31 The place and time of 
 their consecration. 
 
 AND Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 
 2 "Take Aaron and his sons with him, 
 and 'the garments, and c the anointing oil, 
 and a bullock for the sin-offering, and two 
 rams, and a basket of unleavened bread ; 
 
 3 And gather thou all the congregation 
 together to the door of the 'tent of the 
 congregation. 
 
 4 And Moses did as Jehovah command- 
 ed him; and the assembly was gathered 
 together to the door of the 2 tent of the con- 
 gregation. 
 
 5 And Moses said to the congregation, 
 d This is the thing which Jehovah * hath' 
 commanded to be done. 
 
 6 And Moses brought Aaron and his sons, 
 'and 'washed them with water. 
 
 7 ^And he put upon him the g coat, and 
 girded him with the girdle, and clothed 
 him with the robe, and put the ephod upon 
 him, and he girded him with the curious 
 girdle of the ephod, and bound it to him 
 therewith. 
 
Aaron and his sons consecrated. 
 
 8 And he put the breast-plate upon him: 
 also he "put in the breast-plate the 'Lights 
 and the ""Perfections. 
 
 9 'And he put the 6 turban upon his head ; 
 also upon the 'turban, even upon 8 its front, 
 did he put the golden plate, the holy crown ; 
 as Jehovah ' had' Commanded Moses. 
 
 10 'And Moses took the anointing oil, and 
 anointed the tabernacle and all that was 
 therein, and sanctified them. 
 
 11 And he sprinkled thereof upon the 
 altar seven times, and anointed the altar 
 and all its vessels, both the laver and its 
 foot, to sanctify them. 
 
 12 And he "poured ' some' of the anoint- 
 ing oil upon Aaron's head, and anointed 
 him, to sanctify him. 
 
 13 "And Moses brought Aaron's sons, and 
 put coats upon them, and girded them with 
 girdles, ana tput 9 caps upon them; as Je- 
 hovah ' had' commanded Moses. 
 
 14 "And he brought the bullock for the 
 sin-offering : and Aaron and his sons ''laid 
 their hands upon the head of the bullock 
 for the sin-offering. 
 
 15 And he slew it ; 'and Moses took the 
 blood, and put it upon the horns of the al- 
 tar round about with his finger, and puri- 
 fied the altar, and poured the blood at the 
 bottom of the altar, and sanctified it, to 
 make '"atonement upon it. 
 
 16 "And he took all the fat that was upon 
 the inwards, and the caul above the liver, 
 and the two kidneys, and their fat, and 
 Moses burned it upon the altar. 
 
 17 But the bullock, and his hide, his 
 flesh, and his "ordure, he burnt with fire 
 without the camp ; as Jehovah 'command- 
 ed Moses. 
 
 18 % 'And he brought the ram for the 
 burnt-offering: and Aaron and his sons 
 laid their hands upon the head of the ram. 
 
 19 And he killed it; and Moses sprin- 
 kled the blood upon the altar, round about. 
 
 20 And he cut the ram in pieces; and 
 Moses burnt the head, and the pieces, and 
 the fat. 
 
 21 And he washed the inwards and the 
 legs in water; and Moses burnt the whole 
 ram upon the altar : it was a burnt-sacri- 
 fice for a sweet ^odour, and an offering 
 made by fire to Jehovah; "as Jehovah 
 ' had' commanded Moses. 
 
 22 f And w he brought the other ram, the 
 ram of consecration : and Aaron and his 
 sons laid their hands upon the head of the 
 ram. 
 
 23 And he slew it; and Moses took 
 ' some' of the blood of it, and put it upon 
 the tip of Aaron's right ear, and upon the 
 thumb of his right nand, and upon the 
 great toe of his right foot. 
 
 24 And he brought Aaron's sons, and 
 Moses put ' some' of the blood upon the tip 
 of their right ears, and upon the thumbs 
 of their right hands, and upon the great 
 toes of their right feet : and Moses sprin- 
 kled the blood upon the altar round about. 
 
 25 "And he took the fat, and the "tail, 
 and all the fat that was upon the inwards, 
 and the caul above the liver, and the two 
 kidneys, and their fat, and the right shoul- 
 der: 
 
 26 *And out of the basket of unleavened 
 bread, that was before Jehovah, he took 
 one unleavened cake, and a cake of oiled

 fat, and upon the right shoulder : 
 
 27 And he put all *upon Aaron's hands, 
 and upon his sons' hands, and waved them 
 for a wave-offering before Jehovah. 
 
 28 "And Moses took them from off" their 
 hands, and burnt them on the altar upon the 
 burnt-offering: they were consecrations 
 for a sweet "odour : it n was an offering 
 made by fire to Jehovah. 
 
 29 And Moses took the breast, and wav- 
 ed it for a wave-offering before Jehovah : 
 for of the ram of consecration it was Mo- 
 ses' 'part ; as Jehovah ' had' commanded 
 Moses. 
 
 30 And 'Moses took * some' of the anoint- 
 ing oil, and ' some' of the blood which was 
 upon the altar, and sprinkled it upon 
 Aaron, and upon his garments, and upon 
 his sons, and upon his sons' garments with 
 him ; and sanctified Aaron, and his gar- 
 ments, and his sons, and his sons' gar- 
 ments with him. 
 
 31 ^[ And Moses said to Aaron and to his 
 sons, d Boil the flesh at the door of the 
 16 tent of the congregation ; and there eat 
 it with the bread that is in the basket of 
 consecrations, as I commanded, saying, 
 Aaron and his sons shall eat it. 
 
 32 'And that which remaineth of the flesh 
 and of the bread shall ye burn with fire. 
 
 33 And ye shall not go out of the door 
 of the "tent of the congregation in seven 
 days, until the days of your consecration 
 be at- an end : for •'seven days shall he 
 consecrate you. 
 
 34 s As he hath done this day, so Jehovah 
 hath commanded to do, to make an atone- 
 ment for you. 
 
 35 Therefore shall ye abide at the door 
 of the 18 tent of the congregation day and 
 night seven days, and ''keep the charge of 
 Jehovah, that ye die not : for so I am com- 
 manded. 
 
 36 So Aaron and his sons did all things 
 which Jehovah ' had' commanded by the 
 hand of Moses. 
 
 CHAPTER IX. 
 
 1 The first offerings of Aaron, for himself and the 
 people. 8 The sin-offering, 12 and the burnt-of- 
 fering for himself. 15 The offerings for the peo- 
 ple. 23 Moses and Aaron bless the people. 24 Fire 
 cometh from JEHOVAH, upon the altar. 
 
 AND "it came to pass on the eighth day, 
 that Moses called Aaron and his sons, 
 and the elders of Israel ; 
 
 2 And he said to Aaron, 'Take thee a 
 young calf for a sin-offering, 'and a ram 
 for a burnt-offering, without blemish, and 
 offer them before Jehovah. 
 
 3 And to the children of Israel thou 
 shalt speak, saying, d Take ye a kid of the 
 goats for a sin-offering ; and a calf and a 
 lamb, both of the first year, without blem- 
 ish, for a burnt-offering ; 
 
 4 Also a bullock and a ram for 'thank- 
 offerings, to sacrifice before Jehovah ; and 
 *a meal-offering mingled with oil : for -^to- 
 day Jehovah will appear to you. 
 
 5 If And they brought that which Moses 
 commanded before the tabernacle of the 
 congregation: and all the congregation 
 drew near and stood before Jehovah. 
 
 6 And Moses said, This is the thing 
 which Jehovah ' hath' commanded that ye 
 
 79 
 
Aaron's offerings for the people. 
 
 should do: and *the glory of Jehovah 
 shall appear to you. 
 
 7 And Moses said to Aaron, Go to the 
 altar, and A off'er thy sin-offering, and thy 
 burnt-offering, and make an atonement 
 for thyself, and for the people : and 'offer 
 the offering of the people, and make an 
 atonement for them; as Jehovah com- 
 manded. 
 
 8 If Aaron therefore went to the altar, 
 and slew the calf of the sin-offering, which 
 teas for himself. 
 
 9 *And the sons of Aaron brought the 
 blood to him : and he dipped his finger in 
 the blood, and 'put it upon the horns of the 
 altar, and poured out the blood at the bot- 
 tom of the altar : 
 
 10 m But the fat, and the kidneys, and the 
 caul above the liver of the sin-offering, he 
 burnt upon the altar ; "as Jehovah ' had' 
 commanded Moses. 
 
 11 "And the flesh and the hide he burnt 
 with fire without the camp. 
 
 12 And he slew the burnt-offering ; and 
 Aaron's sons presented to him the blood, 
 y which he sprinkled round about upon the 
 altar. 
 
 13 'And they presented the burnt-offer- 
 ing to him, with the pieces thereof, and 
 the head: and he burnt them upon the 
 altar. 
 
 14 "And he did wash the inwards and 
 the legs and burnt them upon the burnt- 
 offering on the altar. 
 
 15 1f 'And he brought the people's offer- 
 ing, and took the goat, which was the sin- 
 offering for the people, and slew it, and 
 offered it for sin, as the first. 
 
 16 And he brought the burnt- offering, 
 and offered it 'according to the || 2 custom. 
 
 17 And he broughfthe meal -offering, and 
 ttook a handful thereof, and burnt if upon 
 the altar, ^besides the burnt-sacrifice of

 18 He slew also the bullock and the ram 
 for y a. sacrifice of 3 thank-offerings, which 
 teas for the people : and Aaron's sons pre- 
 sented to him the blood, which he sprinkled 
 upon the altar round about. 
 
 19 And the fat of the bullock, and of the 
 ram, the 4 tail , and that which covereih 
 the inwards, and the kidneys, and the 
 caul above the liver : 
 
 20 And they put the fat upon the breasts, 
 2 and he burnt the fat upon the altar : 
 
 21 And the breasts and the right shoulder 
 Aaron waved "for a wave-offering before 
 Jehovah ; as Moses commanded. 
 
 22 And Aaron lifted up his hand towards 
 the people, 'and blessed them ; and came 
 down from offering of the sin-offering, and 
 the burnt-offering, and 5 thank-ofterings. 
 
 23 And Moses and Aaron went into the 
 "tent of the congregation, and came out, 
 and blessed the people : c and the glory of 
 Jehovah appeared to all the people. 
 
 24 And ''there came a fire out from be- 
 fore Jehovah, and consumed upon the 
 altar the burnt-offering and the fat : which 
 when all the people saw, "they shouted, 
 and fell on their faces.

 Nadab and Abihu slain. 
 
 The law of eating the holy things. 16 Aaron's 
 excuse for transgressing thereof. 
 
 AND "Nadab and Abihu, the sons of 
 Aaron, Hook 2 each of them his censer, 
 and put fire therein, and put incense 
 thereon, and offered c 3 unlawful fire before 
 Jehovah, which he commanded them not. 
 
 2 And there d4 came forth fire from Jeho- 
 vah, and devoured them, and they died 
 before- Jehovah. 
 
 3 Then Moses said to Aaron, This is 
 that ' which' Jehovah spoke, saying, I will 
 be 5 reverenced by them 'that come nigh 
 me, and before all the people I will be 
 'glorified. s And Aaron held his peace. 
 
 4 And Moses called Mishael and Elza- 
 phan, the sons of *Uzziel the uncle of 
 Aaron, and said to them, Come near, 
 'carry your brethren from before the sanc- 
 tuary out of the camp. 
 
 5 So they went near, and carried them in 
 their coats out of the camp; as Moses 
 had said. 
 
 6 And Moses said to Aaron, and to Ele- 
 azar and to Ithamar, his sons, HJncover 
 not your heads, neither rend your clothes ; 
 lest ye die, and lest 'wrath come upon all 
 the people : but let your brethren, the 
 whole house of Israel, bewail the burning 
 which Jehovah hath kindled. 
 
 7 m And ye shall not go out from the door 
 of the 6 tent of the congregation, lest ye 
 die : "for the anointing oil of Jehovah is 
 upon you. And they did according to the 
 word of Moses. 
 
 8 If And Jehovah spoke to Aaron, saying, 
 
 9 "Do not drink wine nor strong drink, 
 thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go 
 into the 7 tent of the congregation, lest ye 
 die: it shall be 8 an ordinance for ever 
 throughout your generations : 
 
 10 And that ye may p put ' a' difference 
 between holy and unholy, and between un- 
 clean and clean ; 
 
 11 'And that ye may teach the children 
 of Israel all the Ordinances which Jeho- 
 vah hath spoken to them by the hand of 
 Moses. 
 
 12 If And Moses spoke to Aaron, and to 
 Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons that were 
 left, Take the 10 meal-offering that remain- 
 eth of the offerings of Jehovah made by 
 fire, and eat it without leaven beside the 
 altar : for 'it is most holy : 
 
 13 And ye shall eat it in the holy place, 
 because it is "thine appointed portion, and 
 thy sons' "appointed portion, of the sacri- 
 fices of Jehovah made by fire : for 'so I 
 am commanded. 
 
 14 And "the wave-breast and heave- 
 shoulder shall ye eat in a clean place ; 
 thou, and thy sons, and thy daughters with 
 thee : for they 13 are thine appointed por- 
 tion, and thy sons' "appointed portion, 
 which are given out of the sacrifices of 
 15 thank-offerings of the children of Israel. 
 
 15 "The heave-shoulder and the wave- 
 breast shall they bring, with the offerings 
 made by fire of the fat, to wave it for a 
 wave-offering before Jehovah ; and it shall 
 be thine, and thy sons' with thee, by 16 an 
 ordinance for ever ; as Jehovah hath com- 
 manded. 
 
 16 f And Moses diligently .sought "the 
 
 §oat of the sin-offering, and behold, it was 
 urnt: and he was angry with Eleazar 
 
The distinction of meats 
 
 and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron who were 
 left alive, saying, 
 
 17 * Wherefore have ye not eaten the sin- 
 offering in the holy place, seeing it is most 
 holy, and God hath given it you to bear 
 the iniquity of the congregation, to make 
 atonement for them before Jehovah. 
 
 18 Behold, "the blood of it was not 
 brought in within the holy place : ye should 
 indeed have eaten it in the holy place, *as 
 I commanded. 
 
 19 And Aaron said to Moses, Behold, 
 'this day have they offered their sin-offer- 
 ing, and their burnt-offering before Jeho- 
 vah ; and such things have befallen me : 
 and if I had eaten the sin-offering to-day, 
 d "would it have been 18 right in the sight of 
 Jehovah ? 
 
 20 And when Moses heard that, 19 it was 
 right in his sight. 
 
 CHAPTER XI. 
 
 1 What beasts may, 4 and what may not be eaten. 9 
 What fishes. 13 What fowls. 29 The creeping 
 things which are unclean. 
 
 AND Jehovah spoke to Moses and to 
 Aaron, saying to them, 
 
 2 Speak to the children of Israel, saying, 
 "These are the beasts which ye may eat 
 among all the beasts that are on the earth. 
 
 3 Whatever parteth the hoof, and is 
 cloven-footed, and cheweth the cud among 
 the beasts, that shall ye eat. 
 
 4 Nevertheless, these shall ye not eat, of 
 them that chew the cud, or of them that 
 divide the hoof: as the camel, because he 
 cheweth the cud, but divideth not the 
 hoof; he is unclean to you. 
 
 5 And the "coney, because he cheweth 
 the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is 
 unclean to you. 
 
 6 And the hare, because he cheweth the 
 cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is un- 
 clean to you. 
 
 7 And the swine, though v he divide the 
 hoof, and be cloven-footed, yet he cheweth 
 not the cud ; e he is unclean to you. 
 
 8 Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their 
 carcass shall ye not touch ; ^they are un- 
 clean to you. 
 
 9 f 'These shall ye eat, of all that are in 
 the waters : whatever hath fins and scales 
 in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, 
 them shall ye eat. 
 
 10 And all that have not fins and scales 
 in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that 
 move in the waters, and of any living thing 
 which is in the waters, they shall be an 
 •''abomination to you : 
 
 11 They shall be even an abomination to 
 you : ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye 
 shall have their carcasses in abomination. 
 
 12 Whatever hath no fins nor scales in 
 the waters, that shall be an abomination to 
 you. 
 
 13 If *And these are they which ye shall 
 have in abomination among the fowls ; they 
 shall not be eaten, they are an abomina- 
 tion: The eagle, and the *ossifrage, and 
 the *ospray, 
 
 14 And the vulture, and the kite after 
 his kind ; 
 
 15 Every raven after his kind ; 
 
 16 And the *owl, and the nighthawk, and 
 the cuckoo, and the hawk after his kind, 
 
 17 And the little owl, and the cormorant, 
 and the great owl,

 28 And he that beareth the carcass of 
 them shall wash his clothes, and be un-

 29 If These also shall be unclean to you

 45 'For I am Jehovah 2l who bringeth you

 unclean and the clean, and between the

 may not be eaten. 
 
 CHAPTER XII. 
 
 1 The purification of women after child-birth. 6 Her 
 offerings for her purifying. 
 
 AND Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 
 2 Speak to the children of Israel, say- 
 ing, If a "woman have conceived seed, and 
 borne a man-child : then 'she shall be un- 
 clean seven days ; 'according to the days 
 of the separation for her infirmity shall she 
 be unclean. 
 
 3 And in the d eighth day 'he shall be cir- 
 cumcised. 
 
 4 And she shall then continue in 2 her 
 purification three and thirty days : she 
 shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come 
 into the sanctuary, until the days of her 
 purifying 3 are fulfilled. 
 
 5 But if she bear a female-child, then she 
 shall be unclean two weeks, as in her se- 
 paration : and she shall continue in 4 her 
 purifying three-score and six days. 
 
 6 And 'when the days of her purifying 
 are fulfilled, for a son, or for a daughter, 
 she shall bring a lamb tof the first year for 
 a burnt-offering, and a young pigeon, or a 
 turtle-dove, for a sin-offering, to the door 
 of the 6 tent of the congregation, to the 
 priest : 
 
 7 Who shall offer it before Jehovah, and 
 make an atonement for her ; and she shall 
 be cleansed from the issue of her blood. 
 This is the law for her that hath borne a 
 male or a female.

 CHAPTER XIII. 
 
 The laws and tokens whereby the priest is to be 
 guided in discerning the leprosy. 
 
 AND Jehovah spoke to Moses and 
 Aaron, saying, 
 
 2 When a man shall have in the skin of 
 his flesh a Arising, a a scab, or bright spot, 
 and it be in the skin of his flesh like the 
 plague of leprosy ; 'then he shall bebrought 
 to Aaron the priest, or to one of his sons 
 the priests : 
 
 3 And the priest shall look on the plague 
 in the skin of the flesh : and when the 
 hair in the plague is turned white, and the 
 plague in sight Hs deeper than the skin of 
 his flesh, it is a plague of leprosy : and the 
 priest shall look on him, and pronounce 
 him unclean. 
 
 4 If the bright spot be white in the skin 
 of his flesh, and in sight be not deeper than 
 the skin, and the hair thereof be not turn- 
 ed white ; then the priest shall shut up 
 him that hath the plague seven days : 
 
 5 And the priest shall look on him the 
 seventh day : and behold, if the plague in 
 his sight be at a stay, and the plague spread 
 not in the skin ; then the priest shall shut 
 him up seven days more : 
 
 6 And the priest shall look on him again 
 the seventh day : and behold, if the plague 
 be somewhat 2 pale, and the plague spread 
 not in the skin, the priest shall pronounce 
 him clean : it is but a scab : and he 'shall 
 wash his clothes, and be clean. 
 
 7 But if the scab spread much abroad in 
 the skin, after that he hath been seen 3 by 
 the priest for his cleansing, he shall be 
 seen 4 by the priest again': 
 
 8 And if the priest see, that behold, the 
 scab spreadeth in the skin, then the priest 
 shall pronounce him unclean : it is a leprosy. 
 
 9 f When the plague of leprosy is in a 
 man, then he shall be brought to the priest : 
 
 10 d And the priest shall see him: and 
 behold, if the rising be white in the skin, 
 and it have turned the hair white, and 
 there be 1 6 a mark of raw flesh in the rising : 
 
 11 It is an old leprosy in the skin of his 
 flesh, and the priest shall pronounce him 
 unclean, and shall not shut him up : for 
 he is unclean. 
 
 12 And if a leprosy break out abroad in 
 the skin, and the leprosy cover all the skin 
 of him that hath the plague from his head 
 even to his foot, wheresoever the priest 
 looketh ; 
 
 13 Then the priest shall consider: and 
 behold, if the leprosy have covered all his 
 flesh, he shall pronounce him clean that 
 hath the plague : it is all turned white : he 
 is clean. 
 
 14 But when raw flesh appeareth in him, 
 he shall be unclean. 
 
 15 And the priest shall see the raw flesh, 
 and pronounce him to be unclean : for the 
 raw flesh is unclean : it is a leprosy. 
 
 16 Or if the raw flesh turn again, and be 
 changed into white, he shall come to the 
 priest ; 
 
 17 And the priest shall see him : and be- 
 hold, if the plague be turned into white ; 
 then the priest shall pronounce him clean 
 that hath the plague : he is clean. 
 
Tlie laivs and tokens 
 
 18 If The flesh also, in which, even in the 
 skin thereof, was a c6 boil, and is healed, 
 
 19 And in the place of the 7 boil there be 
 a white rising, or a bright spot, white, and 
 somewhat reddish, and it be shewed to the 
 priest ; 
 
 20 And if, when the priest seeth it, be- 
 hold, it be in sight lower than the skin, 
 and the hair thereof be turned white ; the 
 priest shall pronounce him unclean : it is 
 a plague of leprosy broken out of the 8 boil. 
 
 21 But if the priest look on it, and be- 
 hold, there be no white hairs therein, and 
 if it be not lower than the skin, but be 
 somewhat 9 pale ; then the priest shall shut 
 him up seven days : 
 
 22 And if it spread much abroad in the 
 skin, then the priest shall pronounce him 
 unclean : it is a plague. 
 
 23 But if the bright spot stay in its place, 
 and spread not, it is a 10 scar of a boil ; 
 and the priest shall pronounce him clean. 
 
 24 If Or if there be any flesh, in the skin 
 whereof there is ta hot burning, and the 
 "raw flesh that burneth have a white bright 
 spot, somewhat reddish, or white ; 
 
 25 Then the priest shall look upon it 
 and behold, if the hair in the bright spot 
 be turned Avhite, and it be in sight deeper 
 than the skin : it is a leprosy broken out 
 of the burning : wherefore the priest shall 
 pronounce him unclean : it is the plague 
 of leprosy. 
 
 26 But if* the priest look on it, and be- 
 hold, there be no white hair in the bright 
 spot, and it be no lower than the other skin, 
 but be somewhat 12 pale; then the priest 
 shall shut him up seven days^ 
 
 27 And the priest shall look upon him 
 the seventh day : and if it be spread much 
 abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pro- 
 nounce him unclean : it is the plague of 
 leprosy. 
 
 28 And if the bright spot stay in its place, 
 and spread not in the skin, but it be some- 
 what 13 pale ; it is a rising of the burning, 
 and the priest shall pronounce him clean : 
 for it is M a scar of the burning. 
 
 29 If If a man or a woman have a plague 
 upon the head or the beard ; 
 
 30 Then the priest shall see the plague : 
 and behold, if it be in sight deeper than 
 the skin, and there be in it a yellow thin 
 hair; then the priest shall pronounce him 
 unclean : it is a dry scall, even a leprosy 
 upon the head or beard. 
 
 31 And if the priest look on the plague 
 of the scall, and behold, it ls is not in sight 
 deeper than the skin, and that there is no 
 black hair in it ; then the priest shall shut 
 up him that hath the plague of the scall 
 seven days : 
 
 32 And 16 on the seventh day the priest 
 shall look on the plague : and behold, if 
 the scall spread not, and there be in it no 
 yellow hair, and the scall be not in sight 
 deeper than the skin ; 
 
 33 He shall be shaven, but the scall shall 
 he not shave ; and the priest shall shut up 
 him that hath the scall seven days more : 
 
 34 And in the seventh day the priest shall 
 look on the scall : and behold, if the scall 
 be not spread in the skin, nor be in sight 
 deeper than the skin ; then the priest shall 
 
 f renounce him clean : and he shall wash 
 is clothes, and be clean.

 and behold, if the scall be spread in the 
 skin, the priest shall not seek for yellow

 37 But if the scall be in his sight at a 
 stay, and that there is black hair grown up 
 therein ; the scall is healed, he is clean : 
 and the priest shall pronounce him clean. 
 
 38 Tf It a man also or a woman have in 
 the skin of their flesh bright spots, even 
 white bright spots ; 
 
 39 Then the priest shall look : and be- 
 hold, i/"the bright spots in the skin of their 
 flesh be "palish white ; it is a 18 white spot 
 that groweth in the skin ; he is clean. 
 
 40 And the man whose thair is fallen off" 
 his head, he is bald ; yet is he clean. 
 
 41 And he that hath his hair fallen off 
 from the part of his head towards his face, 
 he is forehead-bald ; yet is he clean. 
 
 42 And if there be in the bald head, or 
 bald forehead, a white reddish sore ; it is 
 a leprosy sprung up in his bald head, or his 
 bald forehead. 
 
 43 Then the priest shall look upon it: 
 and behold, if the rising of the sore be 
 white reddish in his bald head, or in his 
 bald forehead, as the leprosy appeareth in 
 the skin of the flesh ; 
 
 44 He is a leprous man, he is unclean : 
 the priest shall pronounce him utterly un- 
 clean ; his plague is in his head. 
 
 45 And the leper in whom the plague is, 
 his clothes shallbe rent, and his head bare, 
 and he shall 'put a covering upon his upper 
 lip, and shall cry, ^Unclean, unclean. 
 
 46 All the days wherein the plague sliall 
 be in him he shall be defiled ; he is un- 
 clean : he shall dwell alone, ''without the 
 camp shall his habitation be. 
 
 47 If The garment also that the plague of 
 leprosy is in, whether it be a woollen gar- 
 ment, or a linen garment ; 
 
 48 Whether it be in the warp, or woof, 
 of linen, or of woollen: whether in a skin, 
 or in any tthing made of skin : 
 
 49 And if the plague be greenish or red- 
 dish in the garment, or in the skin, either 
 in the warp, or in the woof, or in any tthing 
 of skin; it is a plague of leprosy, and shall 
 be shewed to the priest : 
 
 50 And the priest shall look upon the 
 plague, and shut up it that hath the plague 
 seven days : 
 
 51 And he shall look on the plague on 
 the seventh day : if the plague be spread 
 in the garment, either in the warp, or in 
 the woof, or in a skin, or in any work that 
 is made of skin ; the plague is 'a fretting 
 leprosy ; it is unclean. 
 
 52 He shall therefore burn that garment, 
 whether warp or woof, in woollen or in 
 linen, or any thing of skin, wherein the 
 plague is: for it is a fretting leprosy; it 
 shall be burnt in the fire. 
 
 53 And if the priest shall look, and be- 
 hold, the plague be not spread in the gar- 
 ment, either in the warp or in the woof, or 
 in any thing of skin ; 
 
 54 Then the priest shall command that 
 they wash the thing wherein the plague is, 
 and he shall shut it up seven days more : 
 
 55 And the priest shall look on the plague 
 after that it is washed: and behold, if 
 
 83 
 

 Rites and sacrifices 
 
 the plague have not changed its colour, 
 and the plague be not spread ; it is unclean ; 
 thou shalt burn it in the fire ; it is 20 a hol- 
 low, ^whether it be bare within or without. 
 
 56 And if the priest look, and behold, 
 the plague be somewhat 21 pale after the 
 washing of it ; then he shall rend it out 
 of the garment, or out of the skin, or out 
 of the warp, or out of the woof : 
 
 57 And if it appear still in the garment, 
 either in the warp, or in the woof, or in 
 any thing of skm ; it is a spreading 
 plague : thou shalt burn that wherein the 
 plague is with fire. 
 
 58 And the garment, either warp, or woof, 
 or whatever thing of skin it be, which 
 thou shalt wash, if the plague be departed 
 from them, then it shall be washed the se- 
 cond time, and shall be clean. 
 
 59 This is the law of the plague of le- 
 prosy in a garment of woollen or linen, 
 either in the warp or woof, or any thing 
 of skins, to pronounce it clean, or to pro- 
 nounce it unclean. 
 
 CHAPTER XIV. 
 
 1 The rites and sacrifices in the cleansing of the 
 leper. 33 The signs of leprosy in a house. 43 The 
 cleansing of that house. 
 
 AND Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 
 2 This shall be the law of the leper 
 in the day of his cleansing : He "shall be 
 brought to the priest : 
 
 3 And the pnest shall go forth out of the 
 camp : and the priest shall look, and be- 
 hold, if the plague of leprosy be healed in 
 the leper ; 
 
 4 Then shall the priest command to take 
 for him that is to De cleansed two ||birds 
 alive and clean, and 'cedar-wood, and 
 "crimson, and ''hyssop. 
 
 5 And the priest shall command that one 
 of the birds be kdled in an earthen vessel, 
 over 2 fresh water. 
 
 6 As for the living bird, he shall take it, 
 and the cedar-wood, and the 3 crimson, and 
 the hyssop, and shall dip them, and the 
 living bird, in the blood of the bird that 
 was killed over the 4 fresh water. 
 
 7 And he shall 'sprinkle upon him that is 
 to be cleansed from the leprosy 'seven 
 times, and shall pronounce him clean, and 
 shall let the living bird loose tinto the 
 open field. 
 
 8 And he that is to be cleansed *shall 
 "wash his clothes, and shave off all his hair, 
 *and 6 bathe himself in water, that he may 
 be clean : and after that he shall come into 
 the camp, and 'shall tarry abroad out of 
 his tent seven days. 
 
 9 But it shall be on the seventh day, that 
 he shall shave all his hair off his head, and 
 his beard, and his eye-brows, even all his 
 hair he shall shave off; and he shall wash 
 his clothes, also he shall 7 bathe his flesh in 
 water, and he shall be clean. 
 
 10 And on the eighth day *he shall take 
 two he-lambs without blemish, and one 
 ewe-lamb tof the first year without blemish, 
 and three tenth- 8 parts of fine flour for '& 
 "meal -offering, mingled with oil, and one 
 log of oil. 
 
 11 And the priest that maketh him clean, 
 shall present the man that is to be made 
 clean, and those things, before Jehovah, 
 at the door of the 10 tent of the congregation. 
 
 12 And the priest shall take one he-lamb,

 13 And he shall slay the lamb "in the place 
 where he shall kill the sin-offering and the 
 burnt-offering, in the holy place : for 'as the 
 sin-offering is the priest's, so is the tres- 
 pass-offering : «it is most holy. 
 
 14 And the priest shall take some of the 
 blood of the trespass-offering, and the 
 priest shall put it 'upon the tip of the right 
 ear of him that is to De cleansed, and upon 
 the thumb of his right hand, and upon the 
 great toe of his right foot. 
 
 15 And the priest shall take some of the 
 log of oil, and "pour it into the palm of

 16 And the priest shall 12 dip his right

 and shall "sprinkle ' some' of the oil with 
 his finger seven times before Jehovah. 
 
 17 And ' some' of the rest of the oil that 
 is in his hand, shall the priest put upon 
 the tip of the right ear of him that is to be 
 cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right 
 hand, and upon the great toe of his right 
 foot, upon the blood of the trespass-offering. 
 
 18 And the remnant of the oil that is in 
 the priest's hand he shall pour upon the 
 head of him that is to be cleansed : 'and 
 the priest shall make an atonement for him 
 before Jehovah. 
 
 19 And the priest shall offer 'the sin-of- 
 fering, and make an atonement for him 
 that is to be cleansed from his unclean - 
 ness ; and afterward he shall kill the 
 burnt-offering. 
 
 20 And the priest shall offer the burnt- 
 offering and the "meal-offering upon the 
 altar: and the priest shall make an atone- 
 ment for him, and he shall be clean. 
 
 21 And "if he be poor, and tcannot get so 
 much; then he shall take one lamb for a.

 atonement for Trim, and one tenth - 15 part 
 of fine flour mingled with oil for a ,6 meal- 
 offering, and a log of oil ; 
 
 22 "And two turtle-doves, or two young 
 pigeons, such as he is able to get; and the 
 one shall be a sin-offering, and the other a 
 burnt-offering. 
 
 23 *And he shall bring them on the eighth 
 day for his cleansing to the priest, to the

 fore Jehovah. 
 
 24 "And the priest shall take the lamb of 
 the trespass-offering, and the log of oil, 
 and the priest shall wave them for a wave-

 25 And he shall kill the lamb of the tres- 
 pass-offering, z and the priest shall take

 26 And the priest shall pour ' some' of

 27 And the priest shall sprinkle with his 
 right finger some of the oil that is in his

 28 And the priest shall put ' some' of the 
 oil that is in his hand, upon the tip of the 
 right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and

 Signs of leprosy in a house.

 of him that is to be cleansed, to make an 
 atonement for him before Jehovah. 
 
 30 And he shall offer the one of "the tur-

 he can get ; 
 
 31 Even such as he is able to get, the one 
 for a sin-offering, and the other/or a burnt- 
 offering, with the 18 meal -offering. And the 
 priest shall make an atonement for him 
 that is to be cleansed, before Jehovah. 
 
 32 This is the law of him in whom is the 
 plague of leprosy, whose hand is not able 
 to get h that which belongeth to his cleans- 
 ing. 
 
 33 If And Jehovah spoke to Moses and 
 to Aaron, saying, 
 
 34 'When ye "shall have come into the 
 land of Canaan, which I give to you for a 
 possession, and I put the plague of leprosy 
 in a house of the land of your possession ; 
 
 35 And he that owneth the house shall 
 come and tell the priest, saying, It seemeth 
 to me there is as it were d a plague in the 
 house : 
 
 36 Then the priest shall command that 
 they Hempty the house, before the priest go 
 into it to see the plague, that all that is in 
 the house be not made unclean; and after- 
 ward the priest shall go in to see the house : 
 
 37 And he shall look on the plague, and 
 behold, if the plague be in the walls of the 
 house, with hollow streaks, greenish, or 
 reddish, which in sight are lower than the 
 wall ; 
 
 38 Then the priest shall go out of the 
 house to the door of the house, and shut 
 up the house seven days : 
 
 39 And the priest shall come again the 
 seventh day, and shall look ; and behold, 
 if the plague be spread in the walls of the 
 house ; 
 
 40 Then the priest shall command that 
 they take away the stones in which the 
 plague is, and they shall cast them into an 
 unclean place without the city: 
 
 41 And he shall cause the house to be 
 scraped within round about, and they 
 shall pour out the dust that they scrape 
 off without the city into an unclean 
 place : 
 
 42 And they shall take other stones, and 
 
 Eut them in the place of those stones ; and 
 e shall take other mortar, and shall plaster 
 the house. 
 
 43 And if the plague come again, and 
 break out in the house, after that he hath 
 taken away the stones, and after he hath 
 scraped the house, and after it is plas- 
 tered ; 
 
 44 Then the priest shall come and look ; 
 and behold, if the plague be spread in the 
 house, it is 'a. fretting leprosy in the house: 
 it is unclean. 
 
 45 And he shall break down the house, 
 the stones of it, and the timber thereof, 
 and all the mortar of the house : and he 
 shall carry them forth out of the city into 
 an unclean place. 
 
 46 Moreover, he that goeth into the house

 AND Jehovah spoke to Moses and to 
 Aaron, saying, 
 
 2 Speak to the children of Israel, and 
 say to them, "When any man hath 'an 
 ||issue ^n his flesh, because of his issue he 
 is unclean. 
 
 3 And this shall be his uncleanness in his 
 issue : whether his flesh run with his issue, 
 or his flesh be stopped from his issue, it is 
 his uncleanness. 
 
 4 Every bed whereon he lieth that hath 
 the issue, is unclean: and every tthing 
 whereon he sitteth, shall be unclean. 
 
 5 And whoever toucheth his bed, shall 
 wash his clothes, 'and bathe himself in wa-

 6 And he that sitteth on any thing where- 
 on he sat that hath the issue, shall wash 
 his clothes, and bathe himself in water, 
 and be unclean until the 4 evening. 
 
 7 And he that toucheth the flesh of him 
 that hath the issue, shall wash his clothes, 
 and bathe himself in water, and be unclean 
 until the 'evening. 
 
 8 And if he that hath the issue spit upon 
 him that is clean ; then he shall wash his 
 clothes, and bathe himself in water, and 
 be unclean until the "evening. 
 
 9 And whatever saddle he rideth upon 
 that hath the issue, shall be unclean. 
 
 10 And whoever toucheth any thing 
 that was under him, shall be unclean until 
 the 'evening : and he that beareth any of 
 those things, shall wash his clothes, and 
 bathe himself in water, and be unclean 
 until the 8 evening. 
 
 11 And whomsoever he toucheth that hath

The uncleanness of men and women. 
 
 the issue (and hath not rinsed his hands in 
 water) he shall wash his clothes, and bathe 
 himself in water, and be unclean until the 
 9 evening. 
 
 12 And the "Vessel of earth that he touch- 
 eth who hath the issue, shall be broken : 
 and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed 
 in water. 
 
 13 And when he that hath an issue is 
 cleansed of his issue ; then d he shall num- 
 ber to himself seven days for his cleansing, 
 and wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh 
 in '"fresh water, and shall be clean. 
 
 14 And on the eighth day he shall take 
 to him e two turtle-doves, or two young 
 
 Sigeons, and come before Jehovah, to the 
 oor of the "tent of the congregation, and 
 give them to the priest : 
 
 15 And the priest shall offer them, 'the 
 one for a sin-offering, and the other for a 
 burnt-offering ; *and the priest shall make 
 an atonement for him before Jehovah for 
 his issue. 
 
 16 And *if any 12 man hath an infirmity of 
 self-pollution, then he shall I3 bathe all his 
 flesh in water, and be unclean until the 
 "evening. 
 
 17 And every garment, and every skin 
 whereon is the l5 issue of the pollution, shall 
 be washed with water, and be unclean until 
 the ,6 evening. 
 
 18 The woman also with whom man shall 
 lie "carnally, they shall both bathe them- 
 selves in water, and 'be unclean until the 
 '"evening. 
 
 19 If And *if a woman have an issue, and 
 her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall 
 be tput apart seven days : and whoever 
 toucheth her shall be unclean until the 
 "evening. 
 
 _ 20 And every thing that she lieth upon 
 in her separation shall be unclean : every 
 Uiing also that she sitteth upon shall be 
 unclean. 
 
 21 And whoever toucheth her bed shall 
 wash his clothes, and bathe himself in wa- 
 ter, and be unclean until the 20 evening. 
 
 22 And whoever toucheth any thing

 23 And if it be on her bed, or on any thing 
 whereon she sitteth, when he toucheth it 
 he shall be unclean until the 22 evening. 
 
 24 And ! if any man lie with her at all, 
 and her "impurity be upon him, he shall 
 be unclean seven days: and all the bed 
 whereon he lieth shall be unclean. 
 
 25 And if m a woman have an issue of her 
 blood many days out of the time of her 
 separation, or if it run beyond the time of 
 her separation; all the days of the issue 
 of her uncleanness shall be as the days 
 of her separation ; she shall be unclean. 
 
 26 Every bed whereon she lieth all the 
 days of her issue shall be to her as the bed 
 of her separation : and whatever she 
 sitteth upon shall be unclean, as the un- 
 cleanness of her separation. 
 
 27 And whoever toucheth those things 
 shall be unclean, and shall wash his 
 clothes, and bathe himself in water, and 
 be unclean until the 24 evening. 
 
 28 But "if she be cleansed of her issue, 
 then she shall number to herself seven 
 days, and after that she shall be clean.

 1 How the high priest must enter into the holy place. 
 11 The sin-offering for himself. 15 Tlie sin-of- 
 fering for the people. 20 The scape-goat. 29 The 
 yearly feast of the expiations. 
 
 \ ND Jehovah spoke to Moses after "the 
 -^*- death of the two sons of Aaron, when 
 they offered before Jehovah, and died : 
 
 2 And Jehovah said to Moses, Speak to 
 Aaron thy brother, that he 'come not at all 
 times into the holy place within the vail, 
 before the mercy-seat, which is upon the 
 ark ; that he die not : for c l will appear in 
 the cloud upon the mercy-seat. 
 
 3 Thus shall Aaron d come into the holy 
 place: "With a young bullock for a sin- 
 offering, and a ram for a burnt-offering. 
 
 4 He shall put on -the holy linen coat, 
 and he shall have the linen 'drawers upon 
 his flesh, and shall be girded with a linen 
 girdle, and with the linen 2 turban shall he 
 be attired: these are holy garments ; there- 
 fore ff shall he 3 bathe his flesh in water, and 
 so put them on. 
 
 5 And he shall take 4 from Hhe. congrega- 
 tion of the children of Israel two kids of 
 the goats for a sin-offering, and one ram 
 for a burnt-offering. 
 
 6 And Aaron shall offer his bullock of 
 the sin-offering, which is for himself, and 
 'make an atonement for himself, and for 
 his house. 
 
 7 And he shall take the two goats, and 
 present them before Jehovah at the door 
 of the 5 tent of the congregation. 
 
 8 And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two 
 goats ; one lot for Jehovah, and the other 
 lot for the t 6 scape-a;oat. 
 
 9 And Aaron shall bring the goat upon 
 which Jehovah's lot tfell, and offer him 
 for a sin-offering. 
 
 10 But the goat on which the lot fell to 
 be the scape-goat, shall be presented alive 
 before Jehovah, to make *an atonement 
 with him, and to let hiin go for a scape- 
 goat into the 'desert. 
 
 11 And Aaron shall bring the bullock of 
 the sin-offering, which is for himself, and 
 shall make an atonement for himself, and 
 for his house, and shall kill the bullock 
 of the sin-offering which is for himself: 
 
 12 And he shall take 'a censer full of 
 burning coals of fire from off the altar be- 
 fore Jehovah, and his hands full of "sweet 
 
TVie scape-goat. 
 
 incense beaten small, and bring it within 
 the vail : 
 
 13 "And he shall put the incense upon 
 the fire before Jehovah, that the cloud of 
 the incense may; cover the "mercy-seat that 
 is upon the testimony, that he die not. 
 
 14 And p he shall take ' some' of the blood 
 of the bullock, and 'sprinkle it with his 
 finger upon the mercy-seat eastward : and 
 
 CHAPTER XVII. 
 
 he sprinkle 
 finger seven 
 
 before the mercy-seat shall 
 * some' of the blood with his 
 times. 
 
 15 If 'Then shall he kill the goat of the 
 sin-offering that is for the people, and 
 bring his blood 'within the vail, and do 
 with that blood as he did with the blood of 
 the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the mer- 
 cy-seat, and before the mercy-seat : 
 
 16 And he shall 'make an atonement for 
 the holy place, because of the unclean- 
 ness of the children of Israel, and because 
 of their transgressions in all their sins : 
 and so shall he do for the 8 tent of the con- 
 gregation that 1 9 abideth among them in the 
 midst of their uncleanness. 
 
 17 "And there shall be no man in the 
 ]°tent of the congregation when he goeth 
 in to make an atonement in the holy place, 
 until he come out, and have made an atone- 
 ment for himself, and for his household, 
 and for all the congregation of Israel. 
 
 18 And he shall go out to the altar that 
 is before Jehovah, and x make an atone- 
 ment for it ; and shall take ' some' of the 
 blood of the bullock, and of the blood of 
 the goat, and put it upon the horns of the 
 altar round about. 
 
 19 And he shall sprinkle ' some' of the 
 blood upon it with his finger seven times, 
 and cleanse it, and "hallow it from the un- 
 cleanness of the children of Israel. 
 
 20 If And when he hath made an end 
 of z "making atonement for the holy place, 
 and the 12 tent of the congregation, and the 
 altar, he shall bring the live goat ' near' : 
 
 21 And Aaron shall lay both his hands 
 upon the head of the live goat, and con- 
 fess over him all the iniquities of the 
 children of Israel, and all their transgres- 
 sions in all their sins, ol3 and he shall put 
 them upon the head of the goat, and shall 
 send him away by the hand of t a fit man 
 into the "desert : 
 
 22 And the goat shall 'bear upon him all 
 their iniquities to a land t not inhabited : 
 and he shall let go the goat in the ^desert. 
 
 23 And Aaron shall come into the 16 tent 
 of the congregation, c and shall put off the 
 linen garments which he put on when he 
 went into the holy place, and shall leave 
 them there : 
 
 24 And he shall "bathe his flesh 18 in 
 water in the holy place, and put on his 
 garments, and come forth, d and offer his 
 burnt-offering, and the burnt-offering of 
 the people, and make an atonement for 
 himself, and for the people. 
 
 25 And 'the fat of the sin-offering shall 
 he burn upon the altar. 
 
 26 And he that let go the goat for the 
 scape-goat shall wash his clothes, ^and 
 bathe nis flesh in water, and afterward 
 come into the camp.

 1 The blood of all slain beasts must be offered to 
 JEHOVAH at the door of the tabernacle. 7 They 
 must not offer to Udols. 10 All eating of blood is 
 forbidden, 15 and all that dieth alone, or is torn.

 2 Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and 
 to all the children of Israel, and say to 
 them, This is the thing which Jehovah 
 hath commanded, saying, 
 
 3 Whatever man there be of the house 
 of Israel, "that killeth an ox, or lamb, or 
 goat in the camp, or that killeth it out of 
 the camp, 
 
 4 4 And bringeth it not to the door of the 
 ^ent of the congregation, to offer an offer- 
 ing to Jehovah before the 3 tent of Jeho- 
 vah : blood shall be 'imputed to that man , 
 he hath shed blood ; and that man ''shall be 
 cut off from among his people : 
 
 5 To the end that the children of Israel 
 may bring their sacrifices 'which they offer 
 in the open field, even that they may bring 
 them to Jehovah, to the door of the 4 tent 
 of the congregation, to the priest, and offer 
 them/or 5 thank-offerings to Jehovah.

 children of Israel, or of the strangers that

 eaten ; he snail even 'pour out the blood 
 thereof, and 'cover it with dust. 
 
 14 "For it is the life of all flesh, the blood 
 of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said 
 to the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the 
 blood of no ,7 kind of flesh : for the life of 
 all flesh is the blood thereof: whoever 
 eateth it shall be cut off. 
 
 15 "And every 18 person that eateth tthat 
 which died of itself, or that which was torn 
 19 by beasts, [whether it be one of your own 
 country, or a stranger) "he shall both wash 
 his clothes, *and bathe himself in water, 
 and be unclean until ^evening: then shall 
 he be clean. 
 
 16 But if he wash them not, nor bathe 
 his flesh ; then "he shall bear his iniquity.

 kedness. 
 
 12 Thou shalt not uncover the naked- 
 ness of thy father's sister : she is thy fa- 
 ther's near kinswoman. 
 
 13 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness 
 of thy mother's sister : for she is thy mo- 
 ther's near kinswoman. 
 
 14 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness 
 of thy father's brother, thou shalt not ap- 
 proach to his wife : she is thine aunt. 
 
 15 "Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness 
 of thy daughter-in-law : she is thy son's 
 wife, thou shalt not uncover her naked- 
 ness. 
 
 16 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness 
 of thy brother's wife : it is thy brother's 
 nakedness. 
 
 17 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness 
 of a woman and her daughter, neither shalt 
 thou take her son's daughter, or her daugh- 
 ter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness ; 
 for they are her near kinswomen : it is 
 wickedness. 
 
 18 Neither shalt thou take 6 one wife to 
 another, Ho rival her, to uncover her 
 nakedness, besides the other in her life- 
 time. 
 
 19 'Also thou shalt not approach to a 
 woman to uncover her nakedness, as long 
 as she is put apart for her uncleanness. 
 
 20 Moreover, thou shalt not lie carnally 
 with thy neighbour's wife, to defile thyself

 any woman stand before a beast to lie 
 down thereto: it is z7 pollution. 
 
 24 "Defile not ye yourselves in any of 
 these things : 'for in all these the nations 
 are defiled which I cast out before you : 
 
 25 And the land is defiled : therefore I 
 do 'Visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and 
 the land itself "vomiteth out her inhabit-

 commit any of these abominations ; neither 
 any of your own nation, nor any stranger

 27 (For all these abominations have the 
 men of the land done, who were before 
 you, and the land is defiled ;) 
 
 28 That the land 9 vomit you not out also,

 nations that were before you. 
 
 29 For whoever shall commit any of 
 these abominations, even the "persons that 
 commit them shall be cut off from among 
 their people. 
 
 30 Therefore shall ye keep ,2 my charge,

 it, and on the morrow : and if 3 any thing 
 remain until the third day, it shall be burnt 
 in the fire. 
 
 7 And if it be eaten at all on the third 
 day, it is abominable ; it shall not be ac- 
 cepted. 
 
 8 Therefore every one that eateth it shall 
 bear his iniquity, because he hath profaned 
 the hallowed thing of Jehovah ; and that 
 4 person shall be cut off from among his 
 people. 
 
 9 if And ? when ye reap the harvest of

 corners of thy field, neither shalt thou 
 gather the gleanings of 'thy harvest.

 AND Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 
 2 "Again thou shalt say to the child-

 children of Israel, or of the strangers that 
 sojourn in Israel, that giveth any of his seed 
 to Molech, he shall surelv be put to death

Ji repetition 
 
 the people of the land shall stone him with 
 stones. 
 
 3 And C I will set my face against that 
 man, and will cut him oft" from among his 
 people ; because he hath given ' some' of 
 his seed to Molech, to d defile my sanc- 
 tuary, and 'to profane my holy name. 
 
 4 And if the people of the land do 'in 
 any way hide their eyes from the man, 
 when he giveth of his seed to Molech, and 
 ^kill him not; 
 
 5 Then fl will set my face against that 
 man, and *against his family, and will cut 
 him off, and all that 'go 2 lewdly after him, 
 to commit lewdness with Molech, from 
 among their people. 
 
 6 If And *tne ''person that turneth after 
 such as have familiar spirits, and after 
 wizards, to go 5 lewdly after them, I will 
 even set my face against that ^person, and 
 will cut him off from among his people. 
 
 7 ^ 'Sanctify yourselves therefore and be 
 ye holy : for I am Jehovah your God. 
 
 8 m And ye shall keep 'mine ordinances, 
 and do them: "I am Jehovah who sanc- 
 tify you. 
 
 9 \ "For every one that curseth his father 
 or his mother, shall be surely put to death : 
 he hath cursed his father or his mother : 
 y his blood shall be upon hiin. 
 
 10 If And 'the man that committeth adul- 
 tery with 8 a man's wife, even he that com- 
 mitteth adultery with his neighbour's wife, 
 the adulterer and the adulteress shall 
 surely be put to death. 
 
 11 r And the man that lieth with his fa- 
 ther's wife hath uncovered his father's 
 nakedness : both of them shall surely be 
 put to death: their blood shall be upon 
 them. 
 
 12 'And if a man lie with his daughter- 
 in-law, both of them shall surely be put to 
 death : 'they have wrought pollution ; their 
 blood shall be upon them. 
 
 13 "If a man also lie with mankind, as he 
 lieth with a woman, both of them have 
 committed an abomination : they shall 
 surely be put to death ; their blood shall 
 be upon them. 
 
 14 x And if a man take a wife and her 
 mother, it is wickedness: they shall be 
 burnt with fire, both he and they: that 
 there be no wickedness among you. 
 
 15 "And if a man lie with a beast, he 
 shall surely be put to death : and ye shall 
 slay the beast. 
 
 16 And if a woman approach to any beast, 
 and lie down thereto, thou shalt kill the 
 woman and the beast; they shall surely 
 be put to death ; their blood shall be upon 
 them. 
 
 17 "And if a man shall take his sister, his 
 father's daughter, or his mother's daughter, 
 and see her nakedness, and she see his 
 nakedness: it is an 10 abomination; and 
 they shall be cut off in the sight of their 
 people : he hath uncovered his sister's 
 nakedness ; he shall bear his iniquity. 
 
 18 "And if a man shall lie with a woman 
 having her sickness, and shall uncover her 
 nakedness ; he hath tdiscovered her foun- 
 tain, and she hath uncovered the fountain 
 of her blood : and both of them shall be 
 cut off from among their people.

 ter, and for his brother, 
 
 3 And for his sister a virgin, that is nigh

 may he be defiled. 
 
 4 But he shall not defile himself, being-

 himself. 
 
 5 They shall not make baldness upon 
 their head, neither shall they shave off the 
 corner of their beard, nor make any cut-

 6 T^hey shall be holy to their God, and

 mayest thou offer for a free-will-offering; 
 but for a vow it shall not be accepted. 
 
 24 Ye shall not offer to Jehovah that 
 which is bruised, or crushed, or broken, or 
 cut; neither shall ye make any offering 
 thereof 'in your land. 
 
 25 Neither *from a stranger's hand shall 
 ye offer ''the M food of your God of any of 
 these ; because their "'corruption is in them, 
 and blemishes ™are in them: fhey shall 
 not be accepted for you.

 is brought forth, then it shall be seven days 
 under the dam ; and from the eighth day 
 and henceforth it shall be accepted for an 
 offering made by fire to Jehovah.

 shall not kill it 'and her young both in one 
 day. 
 
 29 And when ye will ""offer a sacrifice of 
 thanksgiving to Jehovah, offer it at your 
 own will. 
 
 30 On the same day it shall be eaten up, 
 ye shall leave "none of it until the mor- 
 row : I am Jehovah. 
 
 31 "Therefore shall ye keep my command- 
 ments, and do them : I am Jehovah. 
 
 32 ^Neither shall ye ^pollute my holy 
 name; but *I will be 26 regarded as holy 
 among the children of Israel : I am Je-

 Egypt, to be your God : I am Jehovah.

 5 "In the fourteenth day of the first month

 of the first year for a burnt-offering to 
 Jehovah. 
 
 13 *And the 4 meal -offering thereof shall 
 be two tenth-^parts of fine flour mingled 
 with oil, an offering made by fire to Jeho- 
 vah for a sweet 6 odour : and the drink of- 
 fering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth 
 part of a hin. 
 
 14 And ye shall eat neither bread, nor 
 parched corn, nor 'fresh ears, until the 
 self-same day that ye ' shall' have brought 
 an offering to your God : It shall be *an 
 ordinance for ever throughout your gene- 
 rations in all your dwellings. 
 
 15 If And 'ye shall count to you from the 
 morrow after the sabbath, from the day 
 that ye brought the sheaf of the wave-of- 
 fering; seven sabbaths shall be complete:' 
 
 16 Even to the morrow after the seventh 
 sabbath shall ye number "fifty days ; and

 baken with leaven, they are "the first-fruits 
 to Jehovah. 
 
 18 And ye shall offer with the bread seven 
 lambs without blemish of the first year, 
 and one young bullock, and two rams: 
 they shall be for a burnt-offering to Jeho- 
 vah, with their "meal-offering, and their 
 drink-offerings, even an offering made by 
 fire of sweet 12 odour to Jehovah. 
 
 19 Then ye shall sacrifice p one kid of the 
 goats for a sin-offering, and two Iambs of

 reapest, 'neither shalt thou gather any 
 gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave 
 them to the poor, and to the stranger : I

 not be afflicted in that same day, 2 he shall 
 be cut off from among his people. 
 
 30 And whatever "person it be that 
 doeth any work in that same day, "the same 
 I9 person will I destroy from among his 
 people. 
 
 31 Ye shall do no ^kind of work. It 
 shall be 21 an ordinance for ever throughout 
 your generations in all your dwellings. 
 
 32 It shall be to you a sabbath of rest, and 
 ye shall afflict your souls : in the ninth day 
 of the month at 22 evening, from ^evening 
 to ^evening, shall ye t 25 keep your sabbath. 
 
 33 If And Jehovah spoke to Moses, say-

 vocation: ye shall do no servile work 
 therein. 
 
 36 Seven days ye shall offer an offering 
 made by fire to Jehovah : c on the eighth 
 day shall be a holy convocation to you, 
 and ye shall offer an offering made by fire

 39 28 Also in the fifteenth day of the 
 seventh month, when ye-' shall' have g ga-

 eighth day shall be a sabbath. 
 
 40 And h ye shall take you on the first 
 day the t boughs of goodly trees, branches 
 of palm-trees, and the boughs of thick 
 trees, and wdlows of the brook ; 'and ye

 the light, t to cause the lamps to burn con- 
 tinually.

 5 set it in order from the evening to the

 shall be 6 an ordinance for ever in your

 4 He shall ' set in' order the lamps Upon 
 6 the pure candlestick before Jehovah con-

 5 If And thou shalt take fine flour, and 
 bake twelve 'cakes thereof: two tenth - 
 7 parts shall be in one cake. 
 
 6 And thou shalt set them in two rows, 
 six on a row, ''upon the pure table before 
 Jehovah. 
 
 7 And thou shalt put pure frankincense 
 upon each row, that it may be on the 
 bread for a memorial, even an offering 8 to 
 Jehovah. 
 
 8 'Every sabbath he shall set it in order 
 before Jehovah continually, being taken 
 from the children of Israel by an everlast-

 9 And ■''it shall be Aaron's and his sons';

 Jehovah 9 by a perpetual .'"ordinance. 
 
 10 ^ And the son of an Israelitish wo- 
 man, whose father was an Egyptian, went 
 out among the children of Israel ; and this 
 son of the Israelitish ivoman and a man 
 of Israel strove together in the camp ; 
 
 11 And the Israelitish woman's son 
 ""reviled the name of JEHOVAH, and 
 •cursed : and they 'brought him to Moses :

 the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan :) 
 
 12 And they 'put him in ^custody, t '"that

 out the camp ; and let all that heard him 
 "lay their hands upon his head, and let all 
 the congregation stone him. 
 
 15 And thou shalt speak to the children 
 of Israel, saying, Whoever 13 curseth his 
 God "shall bear his sin. 
 
 16 And he that ^revileth the name of 
 Jehovah, he shall surely be put to death, 
 and all the congregation shall certainly 
 stone him : as well the stranger, as he that 
 is born in the land, when he I5 revileth the

 him with stones : and the children of Israel

 ing of obedience. . 23 The redemption of land. 29 
 Of houses. 35 Compassion of the poor. 39 The

 AND Jehovah spoke to Moses in mount 
 Sinai, saying, 
 
 2 Speak to the children of Israel, and 
 say to them, When ye come into the land 
 which I give you, then shall the land tkeep 
 "a sabbath to Jehovah. 
 
 3 Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and 
 six years thou shalt prune ,thy vineyard, 
 and gather in the fruit thereof; 
 
 4 But in the seventh year shall be a sab- 
 bath of rest to the land, a sabbath Ho Je- 
 hovah : thou shalt neither sow thy field, 
 nor prune thy vineyard. 
 
 5 'That which groweth of its own accord 
 of thy harvest, thou shalt not reap, neither 
 gather the grapes t of 2 thine unpruned vine : 
 for it is a year of rest to the land. 
 
 6 And the sabbath of the land shall be 
 *food for you ; for thee, and for thy ser- 
 vant, and for thy maid, and for thy hired 
 servant, and for thy stranger that sojourn- 
 eth with thee, 
 
 7 And for thy cattle, and for the beast 
 that are in thy land, shall all the increase 
 thereof be 4 food. 
 
 8 If And thou shalt number seven sab- 
 baths of years to thee, seven times seven 
 years ; and the space of the seven sab- 
 baths of years shall be unto thee forty and 
 nine years. 
 
 9 Then shalt thou cause the trumpet tof 
 the jubilee to sound, on the tenth day of 
 the seventh month, c in the day of atone- 
 ment shall ye make the trumpet sound 
 throughout all your land. 
 
 10 And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, 
 and ''proclaim liberty throughout all the 
 land to all the inhabitants thereof : it shall 
 be a jubilee to you ; 'and ye shall return 
 every man to his possession, and ye shall 
 return every man to his family. 
 
 11 A jubilee shall that fiftieth year be to 
 you : -tye shall not sow, neither reap that 
 which groweth of itself in it, nor gather 
 the grapes in it of 5 thine unpruned vine. 
 
 12 For it is the jubilee ; it shall be holy 
 to you : f ye shall eat the increase thereof 
 out of the field. ? 
 
 13 "In the year of this jubilee ye shall 
 return every man to his possession. 
 
 14 And if thou sell 6 any thing to thy 
 neighbour, or buy 7 any thing of thy neigh- 
 bour's hand, *ye shall not oppress one 
 another : 
 
 15 ^According to the number of years 
 after the jubilee, thou shalt buy of thy 
 neighbour, and according to the number 
 of years of the fruits he shall sell to thee : 
 
 16 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 to thee. 
 
 17 'Ye shall not therefore oppress one 
 another ; m but thou shalt fear thy God : 
 for I am Jehovah your God. 
 
 18 If "Wherefore ye shall do 8 mine ordi- 
 nances, and keep my judgments, and do 
 them ; "and ye shall dwell in the land in 
 safety. 
 
 19 And the land shall yield its fruit, and 
 "ye shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in 
 safety. 
 
 20 And if ye shall say, « What shall we 
 eat the seventh year? behold, r we shall 
 not sow nor gather in our increase : 
 
 21 Then I will 'command my blessing 
 upon you in the sixth year, and it shall 
 bring forth fruit for three years. 
 
 22 'And ye shall sow the eighth year, and 
 eat yet of "old fruit until the ninth year ; 
 until its fruits come in ye shall eat of the 
 old store. 
 
 23 1f The land shall not be sold || tfor 
 ever; for ^the land is mine, for ye are 
 "strangers and sojourners with me. 
 
 24 And in all the land of your possession 
 ye shall grant a redemption for the land. 
 
 -25 If z li thy brother 9 have become poor, 
 and hath sold away some of his possession, 
 and if "any of his '"kindred come to redeem 
 it, then shall he redeem that which his 
 brother sold. 
 
 26 And if the man have none to redeem 
 it, and thimself be able to redeem it ; 
 
 27 Then 'let him count the years of the 
 sale thereof, and restore the overplus to 
 the man to whom he sold it ; that he may 
 return to his possession. 
 
 28 But if he be not able to restore it to 
 him, then that which is sold shall remain 
 in the hand of him that hath bought it until 
 the year of jubilee : c and in the jubilee it 
 shall go out, and he shall return to his 
 possession. 
 
 29 And if a man sell a dwelling-house in 
 a walled city, then he may redeem it with- 
 in a whole year after it is sold : ivithin a 
 full year may he redeem it. 
 
 30 And if it be not redeemed within the 
 space of a full year.then the house that is in 
 the walled city shall be established for ever 
 to him that bought it, throughout his gene- 
 rations : it shall not go out in the jubilee. 
 
 31 But the houses of the villages which 
 have no walls round about them, shall be 
 counted as the fields of the country : tthey 
 may be redeemed, and they shall go out in 
 the jubilee. 
 
 32 Notwithstanding d the cities of the Le- 
 vites, and the houses of the cities of their 
 possession, may the Levites redeem at any 
 time. 
 
 33 And if ||a man purchase of the Levites, 
 then the house that was sold, and the city 
 of his possession 'shall go out in the year 
 of jubilee; for the houses of the cities of 
 the Levites are their pos«ession among the 
 children of Israel. 
 
 34 But ■''the field of the suburbs of their 
 cities may not be sold, for it is their per- 
 petual possession. 
 
 35 If And if thy brother "have become 
 poor, and tfallen into decay with thee ; 
 then thou shalt t^relieve him: yea, though 
 he be a stranger, or a sojourner ; that he 
 may live with thee.

 36 "Take thou no "interest of him, or in- 
 crease ; but 'tear thy God ; that thy brother 
 may live with thee. 
 
 37 Thou shalt not give him thy money 
 upon "interest, nor lend him thy victuals 
 for increase. 
 
 38 *I am Jehovah your God, who brought 
 you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give 
 you the land of Canaan, and to be your 
 God. 
 
 39 If And 'if thy brother that dwelleth by 
 thee "have become poor, and be sold to 
 thee ; thou shalt not tcompei him to serve 
 as a 15 bond-servant : 
 
 40 But as a 16 hired servant, and as a so- 
 journer he shall be with thee, and shall 
 serve thee to the year of jubilee : 
 
 41 And then shall he depart from thee, 
 both he and his children "with him, and 
 shall return to his own family, and "to the 
 possession of his fathers shall he return. 
 
 42 For they are "my "servants whom I 
 brought forth out of the land of Egypt ; 
 they shall not be sold as 1 18 bond-men. 
 
 43 'Thou shalt not rule over him 'with 
 rigour, but 'shalt fear thy God. 
 
 44 Both thy bond-men, and thy bond- 
 maids, whom thou shalt have, shall he of 
 the heathen that are round about you ; of 
 them shall ye buy bond-men and 19 bond- 
 maids. 
 
 45 Moreover, of 'the children of the 
 strangers that do sojourn among you, of 
 them shall ye buy, and of their families 
 that are with you, whom they begot in 
 your land : and they shall be your posses- 
 sion. 
 
 46 And 'ye shall take them as an inherit- 
 ance for your children after you, to inherit 
 them for a possession, tthey shall be your 
 bond-men tor ever : but over your breth- 
 ren the children of Israel, "ye shall not 
 rule one over another with rigour. 
 
 47 If And if a sojourner or a stranger 
 t^become rich by thee, and z thy brother 
 that dwelleth by him 21 become poor, and 
 sell himself to the stranger or sojourner 
 by thee, or to the stock of the stranger's 
 family : 
 
 48 After that he is sold he may be re- 
 deemed again; one of his brethren may 
 "redeem him : 
 
 49 Either his uncle, or his uncle's son 
 may redeem him, or any that is ^nearly 
 related to him of his family may redeem 
 him; or if 'he be able, he may redeem 
 himself. 
 
 50 And he shall reckon with him that 
 bought him, from the year that he was sold 
 to him, to the year of jubilee : and the price 
 of his sale shall be according to the num- 
 ber of years, "according to the time of a 
 hired servant shall it be with him. 
 
 51 If there be yet many years behind, ac- 
 cording to them he shall give again the price 
 of his redemption out of the money that 
 he was bought for. 
 
 52 And if there remain but few years to 
 the year of jubilee, then he shall count 
 with him, and according to his years shall 
 he give him again the price of his redemp- 
 tion. 
 
 53 And as a yearly hired servant shall he 
 be with him : and the other shall not rule 
 with rigour over him in thy sight.

 1 Of idolatry. 2 Religiousness. 3 A blessing to 
 them that keep the commandments. 14 A curse to 
 those that break them. 40 God promiseth to re- 
 member them that repent. 
 
 YE shall make you "no idols nor graven 
 image, neither rear you up a ||standing 
 image, neither shall ye set up any [| t 'carv- 
 ed stone in your land, to bow down to it : 
 for I am Jehovah your God. 
 
 2 If 'Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and re- 
 verence my sanctuary : I am Jehovah. 
 
 3 *[f c If ye walk in my statutes and keep 
 my commandments, and do them ; 
 
 4 ''Then I will give you 2 showers in 3 sea- 
 son, 'and the land shall yield its increase, 
 and the trees of the field shall yield their 
 fruit : 
 
 5 And ■''your threshing shall reach to the 
 vintage, and the vintage shall reach to the 
 sowing-time ; and s ye shall eat your bread 
 to the full, and 'dwell in your land safely. 
 
 6 And 'I will give peace in the land, and 
 *ye shall lie down, and none shall make 
 you afraid: and I will t 4 remove 'evil beasts 
 out of the land, neither shall m the sword 
 go through your land. 
 
 7 And ye shall chase your enemies, and 
 they shall fall before you by the sword. 
 
 8 And "five of you shall chase a hundred, 
 and a hundred of you shall put ten thou- 
 sand to flight : ana your enemies shall fall 
 before you by the sword. 
 
 9 For 1 will "have respect to you, and 
 p make you fruitful, and multiply you, and 
 establish my covenant with you. 
 
 10 And ye shall eat 'old store, and bring 
 forth the old because of the new. 
 
 11 r And I will set my tabernacle among 
 you : and 5 I will not 'abhor you. 
 
 12 'And I will walk among you, and "will 
 be your God, and ye shall be my people. 
 
 13 w l am Jehovah your God, who brought 
 you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye 
 should not be their bond-men, *and I have 
 broken the 6 bows of your yoke, and made 
 you go 'erect. 
 
 14 If *But if ye will not hearken to me, 
 and will not do all these commandments ; 
 
 15 And if ye shall 'despise ^ine ordi- 
 nances, or if your soul abhor my judg- 
 ments, so that ye will not do all my com- 
 mand ments, but that ye break my covenant : 
 
 16 I also will do this to you, I will even 
 appoint tover you "terror, 'consumption, 
 and the burning 9 fever, that shall 'con- 
 sume the eyes, and cause w your life to pine 
 away : and ^e shall sow your seed in vain ; 
 for your enemies shall eat it. 
 
 17 And 'I will set my face against you, 
 and fye shall be slain before your- ene- 
 mies : ff they that hate you shall reign over 
 you, and *ye shall flee when none pursueth 
 you. 
 
 18 And if ye will not yet for all this 
 hearken to me, then I will punish you 
 'seven times more for your sins. 
 
 19 And I will 'break the pride of your 
 power; and I 'will make your heaven 
 "like iron, and your earth ,2 like brass : 
 
 95 
 
.5 curse denounced for disobedience. 
 
 20 And your "strength shall be spent in 
 vain: for "your land shall not yield its 
 increase, neither shall the trees of the 
 land yield their fruits. 
 
 21 If And if ye walk ||contrary to me, 
 and will not hearken to me, I will "smite 
 you seven times more according to your 
 sins. 
 
 22 °I will also send wild beasts among 
 you, which shall u bereave you of your 
 children, and destroy your cattle, and 
 make you few in number, and p your high- 
 ways shall be desolate. 
 
 23 And if ye 'will not be reformed by 
 me by these things, but will walk contrary 
 to me; 
 
 24 ""Then will I also walk contrary to 
 you, and will 13 smite you yet seven times 
 for your sins. 
 
 25 And 'I will bring a sword upon you, 
 that shall 16 inflict the vengeance of my 
 covenant : and when ye are gathered to- 
 gether within your cities, 'I will send the 
 pestilence among you : and ye shall be 
 delivered into the hand of the enemy. 
 
 26 u Jind when I ' shall' have broken the 
 staff of your bread, ten women shall bake 
 your bread in one oven, and they shall 
 deliver you your bread again by weight : 
 and x ye shall eat and not be satisfied. 
 
 2T And "if ye will not for all this hearken 
 to me, but walk contrary to me ; 
 
 28 Then I will walk contrary to you also 
 *in fury ; and I , even I, will chastise you 
 seven times for your sins. 
 
 29 "And ye shall eat the flesh of your 
 sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall 
 ye eat. 
 
 30 And b I will destroy your high places, 
 and cut down your "images, and 'cast your 
 carcasses upon the carcasses of your idols, 
 and 18 I will d abhor you. 
 
 31 'And I will make your cities ,9 ruins, 
 and 'bring your sanctuaries to desolation, 
 and I will not smell the 20 fragrance of your 
 sweet odours. 
 
 32 s And I will bring the land into deso- 
 lation : and your enemies who dwell there- 
 in shall be ^astonished at it. 
 
 33 And 'I will scatter you among the hea- 
 then, and will draw out a sword after you: 
 and your land shall be desolate, and your 
 cities 21 ruins. 
 
 34 'Then shall the land enjoy its sabbaths, 
 as long as it lieth desolate, and ye are in 
 your enemies' land; even then shall the 
 land rest, and enjoy its sabbaths. 
 
 35 As long as it lieth desolate it shall 
 rest ; because it did not rest in your 'sab-

 given by vow. 14 Of a house. 16 Of afield, and 
 the redemption thereof. 28 No devoted thing may 
 be redeemed. 32 The tithe may not be changed. 
 
 AND Jehovah spoke to Moses, saving, 
 2 Speak to the children of Israel, and 
 say to them, "When a man shall Conse- 
 crate any thing for a vow, the persons 
 shall be for Jehovah, by thine estimation. 
 
 3 And thine estimation shall be, of the 
 male from twenty years old even to sixty 
 years old, even thine estimation shall be 
 fifty shekels of silver, "according to the 
 sheicel of the sanctuary. 
 
 4 And if it be a female, then thine esti- 
 mation shall be thirty shekels. 
 
 5 And if it be from five years old even to 
 twenty years old, then thine estimation 
 shall be of the male twenty shekels, and 
 for the female ten shekels. 
 
 6 And if it be from a month old even to 
 five years old, then thine estimation shall 
 be of the male five shekels of silver, and 
 for the female thine estimation shall be 
 three shekels of silver. 
 
 7 And if it be from sixty years old and 
 above ; if it be a male, then thine estima- 
 tion shall be fifteen shekels, and for the 
 female ten shekels. 
 
 8 But if he be poorer than thine estima- 
 tion, then he shall present himself before 
 the priest, and the priest shall value him : 
 according to his ability that vowed shall 
 the priest value him.

 CHAPTER. XXVII. 
 
 JSo devoted thing redeemable 
 
 9 And if it be a beast of which men bring 
 an offering to Jehovah, all that any man 
 giveth of such to Jehovah shall be holy. 
 
 10 He shall not alter it, nor change it, a 
 good for a bad, or a bad for a good : and 
 if he shall at all change beast for beast, 
 then it and the exchange thereof shall be 
 holy. 
 
 11 And if it be any unclean beast, of 
 which they do not offer a sacrifice to Je- 
 hovah, then he shall present the beast 
 before the priest : 
 
 12 And the priest shall value it, whether 
 it be good or bad : tas thou valuest it who 
 art the priest, so shall it be. 
 
 13 c But if he will at all redeem it, then 
 he shall add a fifth part thereof to thine 
 estimation. 
 
 14 1f And when a man shall sanctify his 
 house to be holy to Jehovah, then the 
 priest shall estimate it, whether it be good 
 or bad : as the priest shall estimate it, so 
 shall it stand. 
 
 15 'And if he that sanctified it will re- 
 deem his house, then he shall add the fifth 
 part of the money of thine estimation to it, 
 and it shall be his. 
 
 16 And if a man shall sanctify to Jeho- 
 vah some part of a field of his possession, 
 then thine estimation shall be according to 
 the seed thereof: ||a homer of barley seed 
 shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver. 
 
 17 If he sanctify his field from the year 
 of jubilee, according to thine estimation 
 it shall stand. 
 
 18 But if he sanctify his field after the 
 jubilee, then the priest shall 'reckon to 
 him the money according to the years that 
 remain, even to the year of the jubilee, and 
 it shall be abated from thine estimation. 
 
 19 'And if he that sanctified the field 
 will 4 by any means redeem it, then he shall 
 add the fifth part of the money of thine 
 estimation to it, and it shall -be assured to 
 him. 
 
 20 And if he will not redeem the field, 
 or if he have sold the field to another man, 
 it shall not be redeemed any more. 
 
 21 But the field, f when it goeth out in the 
 jubilee, shall be holy to Jehovah, as a field 
 Mevoted : 'the possession thereof shall be

 12 And I, behold, f I have taken the Le- 
 vites from among the children of Israel, 
 instead of all the first-born 7 that are first 
 brought forth among the children of Is- 
 rael : therefore the Levites shall be mine ; 
 
 13 Because "all the first-born are mine ; 
 'for on the day that I smote all the first- 
 born in the land of Egypt, I hallowed to 
 me all the first-born in Israel, both man

 Aaron shall come, and his sons, and they 
 shall take down ''the covering vail, and 
 cover the c ark of testimony with it : 
 
 6 And shall put thereon the covering of 
 badger's skins, and shall spread over it a 
 cloth wholly of blue, and shall put in 'the 
 staves thereof. 
 
 7 And upon the r table of "presence-bread 
 they shall spread a cloth of blue, and put 
 thereon the dishes, and the spoons, and the 
 bowls, and 7 bowls to pour with : and the 
 continual bread shall be thereon : 
 
 8 And they shall spread upon them a 
 cloth of s crimson, and cover the same with 
 a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put 
 in the staves thereof. 
 
 9 And they shall take a cloth of blue, 
 and cover the "candlestick of the light, 
 •and its lamps, and its tongs, and its snuft'- 
 dishes, and all the oil-vessels thereof, 
 wherewith they minister to it : 
 
 10 And they shall put it, and all the ves- 
 sels thereof, within a covering of badgers' 
 skins, and shall put it upon a bar. 
 
 11 And upon 'the golden altar they shall 
 spread a cloth of blue, and cover it with a 
 covering of badgers' skins, and shall put 
 to the staves thereof. 
 
 12 And they shall take all the instru- 
 ments of ministry, wherewith they minister 
 in the sanctuary, and put them in a cloth of 
 blue, and cover them with a covering of 
 badgers' skins, and shall put them on a bar. 
 
 13 And they shall take away the ashes 
 from the altar, and spread a purple cloth 
 thereon : 
 
 14 And they shall put upon it all the 
 vessels thereof, wherewith they minister 
 about it, even the censers, the flesh-hooks, 
 and the shovels, and the || basons, all the 
 vessels of the altar; and they shall spread 
 upon it a covering of badgers' skins, and 
 put to the staves of it. 
 
 15 And when Aaron and his sons have 
 made an end of covering the sanctuary, 
 and all the vessels of the sanctuary, as the 
 camp is to set forward ; after that, 'the 
 sons of Kohath shall come to bear it : m but 
 they shall not touch any holy thing, lest 
 they die. "These things are the burden 
 of the sons of Kohath in the 9 tent of the 
 congregation. 
 
 16 1 And to the office of Eleazar the son 
 of Aaron the priest pertaineth "the oil for 
 the light, and the ? sweet incense, and 9 the 
 daily 10 meal-oftering, and the 'anointing 
 oil, and the oversight of all the tabernacle, 
 and of all that therein is, in the sanctuary, 
 and in the vessels thereof. . 
 
 17 If And Jehovah spoke to Moses and 
 to Aaron, saying, 
 
 18 "Cause ye not the tribe of the families 
 of the Kohathites to be cut off from among 
 the Levites : 
 
 19 But thus do to them, that they may 
 live, and not die, when they approach to 
 s the most holy things : Aaron and his sons 
 shall go in, and appoint them every one 
 to his service and to his burden : 
 
 20 'But they shall not go in to see when 
 the holy things are covered,- lest they die.

 shon, ^according to the houses of their 
 fathers, by their families ;

 them; all that enter in tto perform the 
 service, to do the work in the "tent of the 
 congregation. 
 
 24 This is the service of the families of 
 the Gershonites, to serve, and for Hburdens : 
 
 25 And x they shall bear the curtains of 
 the tabernacle, and the "tent of the con- 
 gregation, its covering, and the covering 
 of the badgers' skins that is above upon it, 
 and the hanging for the door of the taber- 
 nacle of the congregation,

 the hanging for the door of the gate of the

 27 15 By the tcommandment of Aaron and 
 his sons shall be all the service of the 
 sons of the Gershonites, in all their bur- 
 dens, and in all their service : and ye shall 
 appoint to them in charge all their burdens. 
 
 28 This is the service of the families of 
 the sons of Gershon in the 16 tent of the 
 congregation : and their charge shall be 
 under the hand of Ithamar the son of 
 Aaron the priest. 
 
 29 If As for the sons of Merari, thou 
 shalt number them after their families, by 
 the house of their fathers ; 
 
 30 y From thirty years old and upwards 
 even to fifty years old shalt thou number 
 them, every one that entereth into the

 service, in the 19 tent of the congregation,

 Aaron the priest.

 CHAPTER V. 
 
 1 Tlie unclean are removed out of the camp. 5 Resti- 
 tution is to be made in trespasses. 1 1 The trial 
 of jealousy. 
 
 AND Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 
 2 Command the children of Israel, 
 that they put out of the camp every "leper, 
 and every one that hath an 'issue, and 
 whoever is defiled by the 'dead : 
 
 3 Both male and female shall ye put out, 
 without the camp shall ye put them ; that 
 they defile not their camps, d in the midst 
 of which I dwell. 
 
 4 And the children of Israel did so, and 
 put them out without the camp : as Jeho- 
 vah spoke to Moses, so did the children 
 of Israel. 
 
 5 If And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 
 
 6 Speak to the children of Israel, 'When 
 a man or woman shall commit any sin that 
 men commit, to do a trespass against Je- 
 hovah, and that person be guilty ; 
 
 7 * Then they shall confess their sin which 
 they have done : and he shall recompense 
 his trespass *with the principal thereof, and 
 add to it the fifth part thereof, and give it 
 to him against whom he hath trespassed. 
 
 8 But if the man have no kinsman to re- 
 
The trial of jealousy. 
 
 compense the trespass to, let the trespass 
 be recompensed to Jehovah, even to the 
 priest; besides Hhe ram of the atonement, 
 whereby an atonement shall be made for 
 him. 
 
 9 And every || ''offering of all the holy 
 things of the children of Israel, which 
 they bring to the priest, shall be his. 
 
 10 And every man's hallowed things shall 
 be his : whatever any man giveth the 
 priest, it shall be 'his. 
 
 11 If And Jehovah spoke to Moses, say- 
 ing. 
 
 12 Speak to the children of Israel, and 
 say to them, If any man's wife go aside, 
 and commit a trespass against him, 
 
 13 And a man 'lie with her carnally, and 
 it be hidden from the eyes of her husband, 
 and be kept close, and she be defiled, and 
 there be no witness against her, neither 
 she be taken Hn the act ; 
 
 14 And the spirit of jealousy come upon 
 him, and he be jealous of Jus wife, and she 
 be defiled : or if the spirit of jealousy 
 come upon him, and he be jealous of his 
 wife, and she be not defiled : 
 
 ■ 15 Then shall the man bring his wife to 
 the priest, and he shall bring her offering 
 for her, the tenth part of an ephah of bar- 
 ley-meal ; he shall pour no oil upon it, nor 
 put frankincense thereon; for it is 2 a meal- 
 offering of jealousy, 3 a meal-offering of 
 memorial, "bringing iniquity to remem- 
 brance. 
 
 16 And the priest shall bring her near, 
 and shall set her before Jehovah. 
 _ 17 And the priest shall take holy water 
 in an earthen vessel ; and of the dust that 
 is "on the floor of the tabernacle the priest 
 shall take, and put it into the water : 
 
 18 And the priest shall set the woman 
 before Jehovah, and uncover the woman's 
 head, and put the ' meal'-offering of me- 
 morial in her hands, which is. the jealousy- 
 meal -offering: and the priest shall have in 
 his hand the bitter water that causeth the 
 curse : 
 
 19 And the priest shall charge her by an 
 oath, and say to the woman, If no man 
 have lain with thee, and if thou hast not 
 gone aside to uncleanness || fwith another 
 instead of thy husband, be thou free from 
 this bitter water that causeth the curse : 
 
 20 But if thou hast gone aside to another 
 instead of thy husband, and if thou be de- 
 filed, and some man have lain with thee 
 besides thy husband : 
 
 21 Then the priest shall "charge the wo- 
 man with an oath of cursing, and the priest 
 shall say to the woman, "Jehovah make 
 thee a curse and an "imprecation among 
 thy people, when Jehovah doth make thy 
 thigh to t 'wither, and thy belly to swell ; 
 
 22 And this water that causeth the curse 
 p shall go into thy bowels, to make thy belly 
 to swell, and thy thigh to "wither: 'And 
 the woman shall say, amen, amen. 
 
 23 And the priest shall write these curses 
 in a book, and he shall blot them out with 
 the bitter water : 
 
 24 And he shall cause the woman to drink 
 the bitter water that causeth the curse: 
 and the water that causeth the curse shall 
 enter into her, and become bitter. 
 
 25 Then the priest shall take the '"jea-

 CHAPTER VI. 
 
 1 The law of the Nazarites. 22 The form of bless- 
 ing the people. 
 
 AND Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 
 2 Speak to the children of Israel, and 
 say to them, When either man or woman 
 shall || "separate themselves to vow a vow 
 of a Nazarite, to separate themselves to 
 Jehovah : 
 
 3 'He shall separate himself from wine 
 and strong drink, and shall drink no vine- 
 gar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, 
 neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes, 
 nor eat 'fresh grapes, or dried. 
 
 4 All the days of his || separation shall he eat 
 nothing that is made of the t 2 wine-vine, 
 from the 3 unripe grapes even to the husk. 
 
 5 All the days of the vow of his separa- 
 tion there shall no 'razor come upon his 
 head : until the days be fulfilled, in which 
 he separateth himself to Jehovah, he shall 
 be holy, and shall let the locks of the hair 
 of his head grow. 
 
 6 All the days that he separateth himself to 
 Jehovah, d he shall come 4 near no dead body. 
 
 7 'He shall not make himself unclean for 
 his father, or for his mother, for his bro- 
 ther, or for his sister, when they die : be- 
 cause the tconsecration of his God is upon 
 his head. 
 
 8 All the- days of his separation he is holy 
 to Jehovah. 
 
 9 And if any man die very suddenly by 
 him, and he hath defiled the head of his 
 consecration ; then he shall ^shave his head 
 in the day of his cleansing, on the seventh 
 day shall he shave it. 
 
 10 And r on the eighth day he shall bring 
 two turtles, or two young pigeons, to the 
 priest, to the door of the 5 tent of the con- 
 gregation : 
 
 11 And the priest shall offer the one for 
 a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt- 
 offering, and make an atonement for him, 
 for that he sinned by the dead, and shall 
 hallow his head that same day. 
 
 12 And he shall consecrate to Jehovah 
 
 103 
 
The law of the Nazarite. 
 
 the days of his separation, and shall bring 
 a lamb of the first year "for a trespass-of- 
 fering : but the days that were before shall 
 tbe lost, because his separation was defiled. 
 
 13 f And this is the law of the Nazarite : 
 'When the days of his separation are ful- 
 filled, he shall be brought to the door of 
 the 6 tent of the congregation : 
 
 14 And he shall offer his offering to Je- 
 hovah, one he-lamb of the first year with- 
 out blemish for a burnt-offering, and one 
 ewe-lamb of the first year without blemish 
 'for a sin-offering, and one ram without 
 blemish 'for 'thank -offerings, 
 
 15 And a basket of unleavened bread, 
 ""cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, and 
 wafers of unleavened bread "anointed 
 with oil, and their 8 meal-offering and their 
 "drink-offerings. 
 
 16 And the priest shall bring them be- 
 fore Jehovah, and shall offer his sin-offer- 
 ing, and his burnt-offering : 
 
 17 And he shall offer the ram for a sacri- 
 fice of 9 thank-offerings to Jehovah, with 
 the basket of unleavened bread : the priest 
 shall offer also his 10 meal-offering, and his 
 drink-offering. 
 
 18 p And the Nazarite shall shave the 
 head of his separation at the door of the 
 "tent of the congregation, and shall take 
 the hair of the head of his separation, and 
 put it in the fire which is under the sacri- 
 fice of the 12 thank-offerings. 
 
 19 And the priest shall take the '"boiled 
 shoulder of the ram, and one unleavened 
 cake out of the basket, and one unlea- 
 vened wafer, and r shall put them upon the 
 hands of the Nazarite, after the hair of 
 his separation is shaven : 
 
 20 And the priest shall wave them for a 
 wave-offering before Jehovah: 'this is 
 holy for the priest, with the wave-breast, 
 and. heave-shoulder: and after that, the 
 Nazarite may drink wine. 
 
 21 This is the law of the Nazarite who 
 hath vowed, and of his offering to Jeho- 
 vah for his separation, besides that that 
 his hand shall get : according to the vow 
 which he vowed, so he must do "accord- 
 ing to the law of his separation. 
 
 22 If And J ehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 
 
 23 Speak to Aaron and to his sons, say- 
 ing, 15 Thus 'ye shall bless the children of 
 Israel, saying to them, 
 
 24 Jehovah bless thee, and "keep thee : 
 
 25 Jehovah ""make his face shine upon 
 thee, and *be gracious to thee : 
 
 26 ^Jehovah lift up his countenance upon 
 thee, and 'give thee peace. 
 
 27 "And they shall put my name upon the 
 children of Israel, and 'I will bless them

 9 A And thou shalt bring the Levites be- 
 fore the 4 tent of the congregation 1 : 'and 
 thou shalt gather the whole assembly of 
 the children of Israel together : 
 
 10 And thou shalt bring the Levites be- 
 fore Jehovah: and the children of Israel 
 *shall put their hands upon the Levites : 
 
 11 And Aaron shall toffer the Levites 
 before Jehovah for an toffering of the 
 children of Israel, that tthey may execute 
 the service of Jehovah. 
 
 12 'And the Levites shall lay their hands 
 upon the heads of the bullocks : and thou 
 shalt offer the one for a sin-offering, and 
 the other for a burnt-offering, to Jehovah, 
 to make an atonement for the Levites. 
 
 13 And thou shalt set the Levites before 
 Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them 
 for an offering to Jehovah. 
 
 14 Thus shalt thou separate the Levites 
 from among the children of Israel : and 
 the Levites shall be "mine. 
 
 15 And after that shall the Levites go in 
 to do the service of the 5 tent of the con- 
 gregation : and thou shalt cleanse them, 
 and "offer them for an offering. 
 
 16 For they are wholly givan to me from 
 among the children of Israel; "instead of 
 such as 6 are first brought forth, even instead 
 of the first-born of all the children of Is- 
 rael,.have I taken them to me. 
 
 17 ''For all the first-born of the children 
 of Israel are mine, both man and beast : 
 on the day that I smote every first-born in 
 the land of Egypt I sanctified them for 
 myself. 
 
 18 And I have taken the Levites for all 
 the first-born of the children of Israel. 
 
 19 And «I have given the Levites as ta 
 gift to Aaron and to his sons from among 
 the children of Israel, to do the service of 
 the children of Israel in the 'tent of the 
 congregation, and to make an atonement 
 for the children of Israel : 'that there be 
 no plague among the children of Israel, 
 when the children of Israel come nigh to 
 the sanctuary. 
 
 20 And Moses, and Aaron, and all the 
 congregation of the children of Israel, did 
 to the Levites according to all that Jeho- 
 vah ' had' commanded Moses concerning 
 the Levites, so did the children of Israel 
 to them. 
 
 21 'And the Levites were purified, and 
 they washed their clothes ; 'and Aaron of- 
 fered them as an offering before Jehovah; 
 and Aaron made an atonement for them 
 to cleanse them. 
 
 22 "And after that went the Levites in to 
 do their service in the "tent of the congre- 
 gation before Aaron, and before his sons : 
 *as Jehovah had commanded Moses con- 
 cerning the Levites, so did they to them. 
 
 23 f And Jehovah spoke toMoses,saying, 
 
 24 This is Hhat which belongeth to the 
 Levites : »From twenty and five years old 
 and upwards they shall go in tto wait upon 
 the service of the 10 tent of the congrega- 
 tion: 
 
 25 And from the age of fifty years they 
 shall tcease waiting upon the service there- 
 of, and shall serve no more : 
 
 26 But shall minister with their brethren 
 
The passover again commanded. CHAPTER IX. The cloud guideth the Israelites.

 Thus shalt thou do to the Levites "con 
 cerning their charge. 
 
 CHAPTER IX. 
 
 1 The passover is commanded again. 6 A second 
 passover allowed for them that were unclean or 
 absent. 15 The cloud guideth the removings and 
 encampings of the Israelites. 
 
 AND Jehovah spoke to Moses in the 
 'desert of Sinai, in the first month of 
 the second year after they 2 had come out 
 of the land of Egypt, saying, 
 
 2 Let the children of Israel also keep 
 "the passover at its appointed season. 
 
 3 In the fourteenth day of this month, tat 
 3 evening, ye shall keep it in its appointed 
 season : according to all the rites of it, and 
 according to all the ceremonies thereof, 
 shall ye keep it. 
 
 4 And Moses spoke to the children of 
 Israel, that they should keep the passover. 
 
 5 And 'they kept the passover on the 
 fourteenth day of the first month at ''even- 
 ing in the 5 desert of Sinai : according to 
 all that Jehovah 'had' commanded Moses, 
 so did the children of Israel. 
 
 6 If And there were certain men, who 
 were "defiled by the dead body of a man, 
 ' so' that they could not keep the passover 
 on that day : d and they came before Moses 
 and before Aaron on that day : 
 
 7 And those men said to him, "We are 
 defiled by the dead body of a man : where- 
 fore are we kept back, that we may not 
 offer an offering of Jehovah in its appoint- 
 ed season among the children of Israel ? 
 
 8 And Moses said to them, Stand still, 
 and 'I will hear what Jehovah will com- 
 mand concerning you. 
 
 9 If And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 
 
 10 Speak to the children of Israel, saying, 
 If any man of you or of your posterity 
 shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, 
 or be in a journey afar off, yet he shall 
 keep the passover to Jehovah. 
 
 11 'The fourteenth day of the second 
 month at 6 evening they shall keep it, and 
 *eat it with unleavened bread and bitter 
 herbs. 
 
 12 "They shall leave none of it to the 
 morning, 'nor break any bone of it : *ac- 
 cording to all the ordinances of the pass- 
 over they shall keep it. 
 
 < 13 But the man that is clean, and is not 
 in a journey, and forbeareth to keep the 
 passover, even the same 'person 'shall be 
 cut off from among his people : because 
 he "brought not the offering of Jehovah 
 in its appointed season, that man shall 
 "bear his sin. 
 
 14 And if a stranger shall sojourn among 
 you, and will keep the passover to Jeho- 
 vah; according to the ordinance of the 
 passover, and according to the 8 custom 
 thereof, so shall he do : "ye shall have one 
 ordinance both for the stranger, and for 
 him that was born in the land. 
 
 15 If And 'on the day that the tabernacle 
 was reared up, the cloud covered the ta- 
 bernacle, and the tent of the testimony: 
 and «at 9 evening there was upon the taber- 
 nacle as it were the appearance of fire, 
 until the morning. 
 
 16 So it was always: the cloud covered it 
 by day, and the appearance of fire by night.

 17 And when the cloud r was taken up 
 from the tabernacle, then after that the 
 children of Israel journeyed : and in the 
 place where the cloud abode, there the 
 children of Israel pitched their tents. 
 
 18 At the commandment of Jehovah the 
 children of Israel journeyed, and at the 
 commandment of Jehovah they pitched : 
 8 as long as the cloud abode upon the taber- 
 nacle they rested in their tents. 
 
 19 And when the cloud ttarried long 
 upon the tabernacle many days, then the 
 children of Israel 'kept the charge of Je- 
 hovah, and journeyed not. 
 
 20 And so it was, when the cloud was a 
 few days upon the tabernacle ; according 
 to the commandment of Jehovah they 
 abode in their tents, and according to the 
 commandment of Jehovah they journeyed. 
 
 21 And so it was, when the cloud tabode 
 from 10 evening to the morning, and that 
 the cloud was taken up in the morning, 
 then they journeyed : whether it was by 
 day or by night that the cloud was taken 
 up, they journeyed. 
 
 22 Or whether it were two days, or a 
 month, or "a year, that the cloud tarried 
 upon the tabernacle, remaining thereon, 
 the children of Israel "abode in their tents, 
 and journeyed not : but when it was taken 
 up, they journeyed. 
 
 23 At the commandment of Jehovah they 
 rested in their tents, and at the command- 
 ment of Jehovah they journeyed: they 
 *kept the charge of Jehovah, and the com- 
 mandment of Jehovah by the hand of 
 Moses. 
 
 CHAPTER X. 
 
 1 The use of the silver trumpets. 11 The Israelites 
 remove from Sinai to Paran. The order of their 
 march. 29 Hobab is entreated by Moses not to 
 leave them. 33 The blessing of Moses at the remov- 
 ing and resting of the ark. 
 
 AND Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 
 2 Make thee two trumpets of silver ; 
 of 'turned work shalt thou make them : 
 that thou mayest use them for the "calling 
 of the assembly, and for the journeying 
 of the camps. 
 
 3 And when 4 they shall blow with them, 
 all the assembly shall assemble themselves 
 to thee at the door of the 2 tent of the con- 
 gregation. 
 
 4 And if they blow but with one trumpet, 
 then the princes, who are "heads of the 
 thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves 
 to thee. 
 
 5 When ye blow an alarm, then ''the camps 
 that lie on the east parts shall go forward. 
 
 6 When ye blow an alarm the second 
 time, then the camps that lie 'on the south 
 side shall take their journey : they shall 
 blow an alarm for their journeys. 
 
 7 But when the congregation is to be 
 gathered together, 'ye shall blow, but ye 
 shall not *sound an alarm. 
 
 8 ''And the sons of Aaron, the priests, 
 shall blow with the trumpets; and they 
 shall be to you for an ordinance for ever 
 throughout your generations. 
 
 9 And 'if ye go to war in your land 
 against the enemy that *oppresseth you, 
 then ye shall blow an alarm with the 
 trumpets; and ye shall be 'remembered 
 before Jehovah your God, and ye shall be 
 saved from your enemies. 
 
 10? 
 
The order of the Israelites' march. 
 
 10 Also m in the day of your gladness, 
 and in your solemn days, and in the be- 
 ginnings of your months, ye shall blow with 
 the trumpets over your burnt-offerings, 
 and over the sacrifices of your "thank-of- 
 ferings; that they may be to you "for a 
 memorial before your God : I am Jehovah 
 your God. 
 
 11 H And it came to pass on the twenti- 
 eth day of the second month, in the second 
 year, that the cloud "was taken up from 
 off the tabernacle of the testimony. 
 
 12 And the children of Israel took p their 
 journeys out of the a6 desert of Sinai; and 
 the cloud rested in the r6 desert of Paran. 
 
 13 And they first took their journey 'ac- 
 cording to the commandment of Jehovah 
 by the nand of Moses. 
 
 14 If 'In the first place went the standard 
 of the camp of the children of Judah ac- 
 cording to their armies : and over his host 
 was "Nahshon the son of Amminadab. 
 
 15 And over the host of the tribe of the 
 children of Issachar was Nathaneel the 
 son of Zuar. 
 
 16 And over the host of the tribe of the 
 children of Zebulun was Eliab the son of 
 Helon. 
 
 17 And x the tabernacle was taken down ; 
 and the sons of Gershon and the sons of 
 Merari set forward, "bearing the taber- 
 nacle. 
 
 18 If And Hhe standard of the camp of 
 Reuben set forward according to their 
 armies : and over his host was Elizur the 
 son of Shedeur. 
 
 19 And over the host of the tribe of the 
 children of Simeon was Shelumiel the son 
 of Zurishaddai. 
 
 20 And over the host of the tribe of the 
 children of Gad was Eliasaph the son of 
 Deuel. 
 
 21 And the Kohathites set forward, bear- 
 ing the "sanctuary: and \\the others did 
 set up the tabernacle against they came. 
 
 22 If And *the standard of the camp of 
 the children of Ephraim set forward ac- 
 cording to then- armies : and oyer his host 
 was Elishama the son of Ammihud. 
 
 23 And over the host of the tribe of the 
 children of Manasseh was Gamaliel the 
 son of Pedahzur. 
 
 24 And over the host of the tribe of the 
 children of Benjamin was Abidan the 
 son of Gideoni. 
 
 25 If And the standard of the camp of 
 the children of Dan set forward, which 
 was the rere-ward of all the camps through- 
 out their hosts : and over his host was 
 Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai. 
 
 26 And over the host of the tribe of the 
 children of Asher was Pagiel the son of 
 Ocran. 
 
 27 And over the host of the tribe of the 
 children of Naphtali was Ahira the son 
 of Enan. 
 
 28 fThus were the journeyings of the 
 children of Israel according to their armies, 
 when they set forward. 
 
 29 If And Moses said to Hobab, the son 
 of e Raguel the Midianite, Moses' father- 
 in-law, We are journeying to the place of 
 which Jehovah said, / 1 will give it 'to' 
 you : come thou with us, and 'we will do 
 thee good : for ''Jehovah hath spoken good 
 concerning Israel. '

 34 And "the cloud of Jehovah was s over 
 them by day, when they went out of the 
 camp. 
 
 35 And it came to pass, when the ark 
 set forward, that Moses said, "Rise up, 
 Jehovah, and let thine enemies be scat- 
 tered ; and let them that hate thee flee 
 before thee. 
 
 36 And when it rested, he said, Return, O 
 Jehovah to the tmany thousands of Israel. 
 
 CHAPTER XI. 
 
 I The burning at Taberah quenched by Moses' prayer. 
 4 The people Hong for flesh, and loathe manna. 
 10 Moses complaineth of his charge. 16 God di- 
 I'ideth his burden unto seventy elders. 31 Quails 
 are given in wrath at Kibroth-hattaavah. 
 
 A ND "when the people || complained, tit 
 -^*- displeased Jehovah: and Jehovah 
 heard it : 'and his anger was kindled ; and 
 the c fire of Jehovah burnt among them, 
 and consumed them that were in the utter- 
 most parts of the camp. 
 
 2 And the people cried to Moses; and 
 when Moses d prayed to Jehovah, the fire 
 twas quenched. 
 
 3 And he called the name of the place 
 || Taberah : because the fire of Jehovah 
 burnt among them. 
 
 4 If And the 'mixed multitude that was 
 among them t 2 longed : and the children of 
 Israel also twept again, and said, ■'"Who 
 shall give us flesh to eat ? 
 
 5 s We remember the fish which we did 
 eat in Egypt freely ; the cucumbers, and 
 the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, 
 and the garlic. 
 
 6 But now ft3 we are dried away ; there is 
 nothing at all, besides this manna, before 
 our eyes. 
 
 7 And 'the manna was as coriander-seed, 
 and the tcolour thereof as the colour of 
 "bdellium. 
 
 8 And the people "hurried about, and 
 gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat 
 it in a mortar, and 5 boiled it in ^ots, and 
 made cakes of it : and 'the taste of it was 
 like a sweet-cake made with fresh oil. 
 
 9 And ""when the dew fell upon the 
 camp in the night, the manna fell upon it. 
 
 10 If Then Moses heard the people weep 
 throughout their families, every man in 
 the door of his tent : and "the anger of 
 Jehovah was kindled greatly; Moses also 
 was displeased. 
 
 II "And Moses said to Jehovah, Where- 
 fore hast thou afflicted thy servant ? and 
 wherefore have I not found favour in thy 
 sight, that thou layest the burden of all 
 this people upon me ? 
 
 12 Have I conceived all this people ? 
 have I begotten them, that thou shouldest 
 
Quails are given in wrath. 
 
 say to me, p Carry them in thy bosom, as aj 
 'nursing -father beareth the sucking child, 
 to the land which thou r8 hast sworn to 
 their fathers ? 
 
 13 'Whence should I have flesh to give 
 to all this people ? for they weep to me, 
 saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat. 
 
 14 '1 am not able to bear all this people 
 alone, because it is too heavy for me. 
 
 15 And if thou deal thus with me, "kill 
 me, I pray thee, 9 at once, if I have found 
 favour in thy sight ; and let me not *see 
 my wretchedness. 
 
 16 If And Jehovah said to Moses, Gather 
 to me "seventy men of the elders of Israel, 
 whom thou knowest to be the elders of 
 the people, and 'officers over them ; and 
 bring them to the tabernacle of the con- 
 gregation, that they may stand there with 
 thee. 
 
 17 And I will a come down and talk with 
 thee there : and 1 will take ' some' of the 
 spirit which is upon thee, and will put it 
 upon them ; and they shall bear the burden 
 of the people with thee, that thou bear it 
 not thyself alone. 
 
 18 And say thou to the people, cl0 Pre- 
 pare yourselves "by to-morrow, and ye 
 shall eat flesh : for ye have wept d in the 
 ^hearing of Jehovah, saying, Who shall 
 give us flesh to eat ? 'for it was well with 
 us in Egypt : therefore Jehovah will give 
 you flesh, and ye shall eat. 
 
 19 Ye shall not eat one day, nor two 
 days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor 
 twenty days; 
 
 20 f £iit even a t whole month, until it 
 come out at your nostrils, and it be loath- 
 some to you: because that ye have de- 
 spised Jehovah who is among you, and 
 have wept before him, saying, *Why came 
 we forth out of Egypt? 
 
 21 And Moses said, *The people among 
 whom I am, are six hundred thousand foot- 
 men ; and thou hast said, I will give them 
 flesh, that they may eat a whole month. 
 
 22 ^hall the flocks and the herds be slain 
 for them, to suffice them ? or shall all the 
 fish of the sea be gathered together for 
 them, to suffice them ? 
 
 23 And Jehovah said to Moses, *Is Je- 
 hovah's hand "become short? thou shalt 
 see now whether hnj word shall come to 
 pass to thee, or not. 
 
 24 If And Moses went out, and told the 
 people the words of Jehovah, and ""gather- 
 ed the seventy men of the elders of the 
 people, and set them round about the ta 
 bernacle. 
 
 25 And Jehovah "came down in 14 the 
 cloud, and spoke to him, and took ' some' 
 of the spirit that was upon him, and gave 
 it to the seventy elders : and it came to 
 pass, that "when the spirit rested upon 
 them, 'they prophesied, and did not cease. 
 
 26 But there remained two of the men in 
 the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, 
 and the name of the other Medad: and the 
 Spirit rested upon them ; and they were of 
 them that were written,but 'went not out to 
 the 16 tent: and they prophesied in the camp. 
 
 27 And there ran a young man, and told 
 Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do 
 prophesy in the camp.

 a day's journey on the other side, round 
 about the camp, and as it were two cubits 
 high upon the face of the earth. 
 
 32 And the people stood up all that day, 
 and all that night, and all the next day, 
 and they gathered 18 their quails: he that 
 gathered least gathered ten "homers : and 
 they spread them all abroad for themselves 
 round about the camp. 
 
 33 And while the x flesh was yet between 
 their teeth, 19 before it was chewed, the 
 wrath of Jehovah was kindled against the 
 people, and Jehovah smote the people 
 with a very great plague. 
 
 34 And he called the name of that place 
 20 Kibroth-hattaavah : because there they 
 buried the people that 2I longed. 
 
 35 y Jind the people journeyed from Ki- 
 broth-hattaavah to Hazeroth : and tabode 
 at Hazeroth. 
 
 CHAPTER XII. 
 
 1 God rebuketh the sedition of Miriam, and Aaron. 
 10 Miriam's leprosy is healed at the prayer of 
 Moses. 14 God commandeth her to be shut out of 
 the host. 
 
 AND Miriam and Aaron spoke against 
 Moses because of the HEthiopian wo- 
 man whom he had married : for "he had 
 tmarried an Ethiopian woman. 
 
 2 And they said, Hath Jehovah indeed 
 spoken only by Moses ? 'hath he not spoken 
 also by us r And Jehovah "heard it. 
 
 3 (Now the man Moses was very meek, 
 above all the men who were upon the face 
 of the earth.) 
 
 4 'And Jehovah spoke suddenly to Mo- 
 ses, and to Aaron, and to Miriam, Come 
 out ye three to the 'tent of the congrega- 
 tion. And they three came out. 
 
 5 'And Jehovah came down in the pillar 
 of the cloud, and stood in the door of the 
 2 tent, and called Aaron and Miriam : and 
 they both came forth. 
 
 6 And he said, Hear now my words : If 
 there be a prophet among you, I Jehovah 
 will make myself known to him g 'm a 
 vision, and will speak to him A in a dream. 
 
 7 *My servant Moses is not so, *who is 
 faithful in all ! my house. 
 
 8 With him wdl I speak "mouth to mouth, 
 even "apparently, and not in dark speeches ; 
 and "the 3 appearance of Jehovah shall he 
 behold : wherefore then ''were ye not afraid 
 to speak against my servant Moses ? 
 
 9 And the anger of Jehovah was kindled 
 against them ; and he departed. 
 
 10 And the cloud departed from off the 
 tabernacle; and 'behold, Miriam became 
 'leprous, white as snow : and Aaron looked 
 upon Miriam, and behold, she was leprous. 
 
 11 And Aaron said to Moses, Alas, my 
 lord, I beseech thee, 'lay not the sin upon 
 us, wherein we have done foolishly, and 
 wherein we have sinned.

The names of the spies. 
 
 12 Let her not be 'as one dead, of whom 
 the flesh is half consumed when he 4 is 
 born of his mother. 
 
 13 And Moses cried to Jehovah, saying, 
 Heal her now, God, I beseech thee. 
 
 14 If And Jehovah said to Moses, "If her 
 father had but spit in her face, should she 
 not be ashamed seven days? let her be 
 x shut out from the camp seven days, and 
 after that let her be received in again. 
 
 15 y And Miriam was shut out from the 
 camp seven days : and the people journey- 
 ed not till Miriam was brought in again. 
 
 16 And afterward the people removed 
 from *Hazeroth, and pitched in the 5 desert 
 of Paran. 
 
 CHAPTER XIII. 
 
 1 The names of the men who were sent to search the 
 land. 17 Their instructions. 21 Their acts. 26 
 Their relation. 
 
 AND Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 
 2 "Send thou men, that they may 
 search the land of Canaan, which I give to 
 the children of Israel : of every tribe of 
 their fathers shall ye send a man, 'each 
 one a 2 prince among them. 
 
 3 And Moses by the commandment of 
 Jehovah sent them 'from the Mesert of 
 Paran : all those men were heads of the 
 children of Israel. 
 
 4 And these were their names: Of the 
 tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of 
 Zaccur. 
 
 5 Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the 
 son of Hori. 
 
 6 c Of the tribe of Judah, ''Caleb the son 
 of Jephunneh. 
 
 7 Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son 
 of Joseph. 
 
 8 Of the tribe of Ephraim, e Oshea the 
 son of Nun. 
 
 9 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the 
 son of Raphu. 
 
 10 Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the 
 son of Sodi. 
 
 11 Of the tribe of Joseph, namely of the 
 tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi. 
 
 12 Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son 
 of Gemalli. 
 
 13 Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son 
 of Michael. 
 
 14 Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the 
 son of Vophsi. 
 
 15 Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of 
 Machi. 
 
 16 These are the names of the men whom 
 Moses sent to spy out the land. And 
 Moses called ^Hoshea the son of Nun, 
 Jehoshua. 
 
 17 If And Moses sent them to spy out the 
 land of Canaan, and said to them. Go ye 
 up this way ^southward, and go up into 'the 
 mountain : 
 
 18 And see the land, what it is; and the 
 
 Eeople that dwelleth therein, whether they 
 e strong or weak, few or many ; 
 
 19 And what the land. is that they dwell 
 in, whether it be good or bad ; and what 
 cities they be that they dwell in, whether 
 in tents, or in strong holds ; 
 
 20 And what the land is, whether it be 
 "fertile or barren, whether there be wood 
 therein, or not. And "be ye of good cou- 
 rage, and bring of the fruit of the land. 
 Now the time was the time of the first 
 ripe grapes.

 Their evil report of the land. 
 
 21 If So they went up, and searched the 
 land 'from the "desert of Zin to m Rehob, 
 as men come to Hamath. 
 
 22 And they ascended by the south, and 
 came to Hebron; where "Ahiman, Sheshai, 
 and Talmai, "the children of Anak, were. 
 (Now 'Hebron was built seven years be- 
 fore 5 Zoan in Egypt.) 
 
 23 r And they came to the ||brook of Eshcol, 
 and cut down from thence a branch with 
 one cluster of grapes, and they bore it be- 
 tween two upon a 7 pole; and they brought 
 
 some' of the pomegranates, and of the 
 figs. 
 
 24 The place was called the ||brook []Esh- 
 col, because of the cluster of grapes which 
 the children of Israel cut down from 
 thence. 
 
 25 And they returned from searching of 
 the land after forty days. 
 
 26 If And they went and came to Moses, 
 and to Aaron, and to all the congregation 
 of the children of Israel, s to the wilderness 
 of Paran, to 'Kadesh ; and brought back 
 word to them, and to all the congregation, 
 and shewed them the fruit of the land. 
 
 27 And they told him, and said, We 
 came to the land whither thou sentest us, 
 and surely it floweth with "milk and honey; 
 *and this is the fruit of it. 
 
 28 Nevertheless, *the people s are strong 
 that dwell in the land, and the cities are 
 9 fortified, and very great: and moreover, 
 we saw "the children of Anak there. 
 
 29 "The Amalekites dwell in the land of 
 the south : and the Hittites, and the Jebu- 
 sites, and the Amorites, dwell in the 
 mountains ; and the Canaanites dwell by 
 the sea, and by the 10 shore of Jordan. 
 
 30 And 'Caleb stilled the people before 
 Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and 
 possess it ; for we are well able to over- 
 come it. 
 
 31 c But the men that went up with him 
 said, "We "are not able to go up against the 
 people; for they are stronger than we. 
 
 32 And they ^brought up an evil report 
 of the land which they had searched, to 
 the children of Israel, saying, The land 
 through which we have gone to search it, 
 is a land that eateth up the inhabitants 
 thereof; and 'all the people that we saw 
 in it are tmen of a great stature. 
 
 33 And there we saw the giants, -^the 
 sons of Anak, who come of the giants : 
 and we were as in our own sight e as I2 lo- 
 custs, and so we were "in their sight. 
 
 CHAPTER XIV. 
 
 1 The people murmur at the news. 6 Joshua and 
 Caleb labour to still them. 11 God threateneth 
 them. 13 Moses persuadeth God, and obtaineth 
 pardon. 26 The murmurers are deprived of enter- 
 ing into the land. 36 The men who raised the 
 evil report die by a plague. 40 The people that 
 would invade the land against the will of God are 
 smitten. 
 
 AND all the congregation lifted up their 
 voice, and cried; and "the people 
 wept that night. 
 
 2 'And all the children of Israel mur- 
 mured against Moses and against Aaron . 
 and the whole congregation said to them, 
 ■O that we had died in the land of Egypt ! 
 or c2 that we had died in this 3 desert ! 
 
 3 And wherefore hath Jehovah brought 
 us to this larid, to fall by the sword, that 
 
The people murmur at the news. 
 
 our wives and our children should be a 
 prey ? were it not better for us to return 
 into Egypt ? 
 
 4 And they said one to another, ''Let us 
 make a captain, and 'let us return into 
 Egypt. 
 
 5 Then f Moses and Aaron fell on their 
 faces before all the assembly of the con- 
 gregation of the children of Israel . 
 
 6 If e And Joshua the son of Nun, and 
 Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were of 
 them that searched the land, rent their 
 clothes : 
 
 7 And they spoke to all the company of 
 the children of Israel, saying, *The land, 
 which we passed through to search it, is an 
 exceeding good land. 
 
 8 If Jehovah "delight in us, then he will 
 bring us into this land, and give it us; *a 
 land which floweth with milk and honey. 
 
 9 Only 'rebel 4 y e n °t against Jehovah, 
 •"neither fear ye the people of the land : 
 for "they are bread for us : their tdefence 
 is departed from them, "and Jehovah is 
 with us : fear them not. 
 
 10 p But all the congregation 5 spoke of 
 stoning them with stones. And 'the glory 
 of Jehovah appeared in the 6 tent of the 
 congregation before all the children of 
 Israel. 
 
 11 If And Jehovah said to Moses, How 
 long will this people r7 despise me ? and how 
 long will it be 8 before they 'believe me, for 
 all the signs which I have shewed among 
 them ? 
 
 12 I will smite them with the pestilence, 
 and disinherit them, and 'will make of 
 thee a greater nation and mightier than 
 they. 
 
 13 If And "Moses said to Jehovah, Then 
 the Egyptians 9 will hear it, (for thou 
 broughtest up this people in thy might 
 from among them ;) 
 
 14 And they will tell it tb the inhabi- 
 tants of this land : *for they have heard 
 that thou Jehovah art among this people, 
 that thou Jehovah art seen face to face, 
 and that "thy cloud standeth over them, 
 and that thou goest before them, by day- 
 time in a pillar of a cloudj and in a pillar 
 of fire by night. 
 
 15 If Now ifthou shalt kill all this people 
 as one man, then the nations who have 
 heard the '"report of thee will speak, saving, 
 
 16 Because Jehovah was not *able to 
 bring this people into the land which he 
 swore to them, therefore he hath slain them 
 in the "desert. 
 
 17 And now, I beseech thee, let the 
 power of l2 the Lord be great, according as 
 thou hast spoken, saying, . 
 
 18 Jehovah is "long-suffering, and of 
 great mercy, forgiving iniquity and trans- 
 gression, and by no means clearing the 
 guilty, 'visiting the iniquity of the fathers 
 upon the children to the third and fourth 
 generation. 
 
 19 'Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity 
 of this people ^according to the greatness 
 of thy mercy, and 'as thou hast forgiven 
 this people, from Egypt even ||until now. 
 
 20 And Jehovah said, I have pardoned 
 'according to thy word : 
 
 21 But as truly as I live, *all the earth 
 shall be filled with the glory of Jehovah. 
 
 22 ''Because all those men who have seen

 my glory, and my miracles, which I did in

 23 'tSurely they shall not see the land

 (each day for a year) shall ye bear your 
 iniquities, even forty years 'and ye shall 
 know ||my ^withdrawing. 
 
 35 fj Jehovah have said, I will surely do 
 it to all f this evil congregation, that are 
 gathered together against me : in this M de- 
 sert they shall be consumed, and there they 
 shall die. 
 
 36 'And the men whom Moses sent to 
 search the land, who returned, and made 
 all the congregation to murmur against 
 him, by bringing up a slander upon the 
 land, 
 
 37 Even those men that did bring up the 
 evil report upon the land, 'died by the 
 plague before Jehovah. 
 
 38 *But Joshua the son of Nun* and 
 Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were of 
 the men that went to search the land, 
 lived still. 
 
 39 And Moses told these sayings to all 
 the children of Israel : 'and the people 
 mourned greatly. 
 
 40 ^ And they rose up early in the morn- 
 ing, and ^went up to the top of the moun- 
 tain, saying, Lo, m we are here, and will go 
 up to the place which Jehovah hath pro- 
 mised : for we have sinned.

The law of the meal-offering. 
 
 41 And Moses said, Wherefore now do 
 ye transgress "the commandment of Jeho- 
 vah ? but it shall not prosper. 
 
 42 °Go not up, for Jehovah is not among 
 you ; that ye l>e not smitten before your 
 enemies. 
 
 43 For the Amalekites and the Canaan- 
 ites are there before you, and ye shall fall 
 by the sword : ^because ye are turned away 
 from Jehovah, therefore Jehovah will not 
 be with you. 
 
 44 'But they presumed to go up to the 
 26 top of the mountain: nevertheless the 
 ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and Mo- 
 ses, departed not out of the camp. 
 
 45 "Then the Amalekites came down, and 
 the Canaanites who dwelt in that ^moun- 
 tain, and smote them, and discomfited 
 them, even to 'Hormah. 
 
 CHAPTER XV. 
 
 I Tlie law of the ^meal-offering and the drink-offer- 
 ing. 13, 29 The stranger is under the same law. 
 17 The law of the first of the tyneal for a heave- 
 offering. 22 The sacrifice for sins of ignorance. 
 30 The punishment of presumption. 32 He that 
 violated the sabbath is stoned. 37 The law of 
 fringes. 
 
 AND Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 
 2 a Speak to the children of Israel, and 
 say to them, When ye 3 shall have come 
 into the land of your habitations, which I 
 give to you, 
 
 3 And 'will make an offering by fire to 
 Jehovah, a burnt-offering, or a sacrifice 
 c in tperforming a vow, or in a free-will- 
 offering, or ''in your solemn feasts, to make 
 a e sweet 4 odour to Jehovah, of the herd, or 
 of the flock : 
 
 4 Then 'shall he that offereth his offering 
 to Jehovah bring ? a 5 meal-offering of a 
 tenth- 6 part of flour mingled "with the 
 fourth part of a hin of oil. 
 
 5 'And the fourth part of a hin of wine 
 for a drink-offering shalt thou prepare 
 with the burnt-offering or sacrifice, for 
 one lamb. 
 
 6 'Or for a ram, thou shalt prepare for a 
 7 meal-offering two tenth- 8 parts of flour 
 mingled with the third part of a hin of oil. 
 
 7 And for a drink-offering thou shalt offer 
 the third part of a hin of wine, for a sweet 
 9 odour to Jehovah. 
 
 8 And when thou preparest a bullock for 
 a burnt-offering, or for a sacrifice in per- 
 forming a vow, or no thank-offerings to Je- 
 hovah : 
 
 9 Then shall he bring ™with a bullock a 
 
 II meal -offering of three tenth- 12 parts of flour 
 mingled with half a hin of oil. 
 
 _ 10 And thou shalt bring for a drink-offer- 
 ing half a hin of wine, for an offering made 
 by fire, of a sweet 13 odour to Jehovah : 
 
 11 "Thus shall it be done for one bullock, 
 or for one ram, or for a lamb, or a kid. 
 
 12 According to the number that ye shall 
 prepare, so shall ye do to every one ac- 
 cording to their number. 
 
 13 All that are born u in the country shall 
 do these things after this manner, in offer- 
 ing an offering made by fire, of a sweet 
 ,5 odour to Jehovah. 
 
 14 And if a stranger sojourn with you, or 
 whoever be among you in your genera- 
 tions, and will offer an offering made by 
 fire, of a sweet 16 odour to Jehovah ; as ye 
 do, so he shall do.

 15 p One ordinance shall be both for you 
 of the congregation, and also for the stran-

 shall the stranger be before Jehovah. 
 
 16 One law and one "custom shall be for 
 you, and for the stranger that sojourneth 
 with you. 
 
 17 If And Jehovah spoke to Moses, say- 
 ing, • 
 
 18 'Speak to the children of Israel, and 
 say to them, When ye come into the land 
 whither I bring you, 
 
 19 Then it shall be, that when ye eat of 
 the bread of the land, ye shall offer up a 
 heave-offering to Jehovah. 
 
 20 'Ye shall offer up a cake of the first of 
 your l8 meal for a heave-offering : as ye do 
 'the heave-offering of the threshing-floor, 
 so shall ye heave it. 
 
 21 Of the first of your 19 meal ye shall give 
 to Jehovah a heave-offering in your gene-

 served all these commandments which 
 Jehovah hath spoken to Moses, 
 
 23 Even all that Jehovah hath com- 
 manded you by the hand of Moses, from 
 the day 20 when Jehovah commanded Mo- 
 ses, and henceforward among your gene-

 24 Then it shall be, *if n any thing be

 22 odour to Jehovah, "with its 23 meal -offer- 
 ing, and its drink-offering, according to 
 the H^custom, and z one kid of the goats

 25 "And the priest shall make an atone-

 ren of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them ;

 their offering, a sacrifice made by fire to 
 Jehovah, and their sin-offering before Je-

 the fringe of the ^corners a cord of blue :

 which ye use "to 35 commit lewdness.

 CHAPTER XVI. 
 
 1 The rebellion of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. 
 23 Moses separateth the people from the rebels' 
 tents. 31 The earth swalloweth up Korah, and a 
 fire consumeth others. 36 The censers are reserved 
 to holy use. 41 Fourteen thousand and seven hun- 
 dred are slain by a plague for murmuring against 
 Moses and Aaron. 46 Aaron by incense stayeth 
 the plague. 
 
 NOW "Korah, the son of Izhar, the son 
 of Kohath, the son of Levi ; and Da- 
 than and Abiram, the sons of Eliab ; and 
 On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, 
 took men; 
 
 2 And they rose up before Moses, with 
 certain of the children of Israel, two hun 
 dred and fifty princes of the assembly, 
 *famous in the congregation, men of re 
 nown: 
 
 3 And they gathered themselves together 
 against Moses and against Aaron, and said 
 to them, tFe take too much upon you, see- 
 ing d all the congregation are holy, every 
 one of them, 'and Jehovah is among them: 
 wherefore then do ye raise yourselves above 
 the congregation of Jehovah ? 
 
 4 And when Moses heard it, ^he fell upon 
 his face : 
 
 5 And he spoke to Korah and to all his 
 Congregation, saying, Even to morrow Je- 
 hovah will shew who are his, and who is 
 *holy ; and will cause him to come near to 
 him : even him whom he hath "chosen will 
 he cause to '"come near to him. 
 
 6 This do; Take you censers, Korah, 
 and all his Congregation ; 
 
 7 And put fire therein, and put incense 
 in them before Jehovah to-morrow: and 
 it shall be that the man whom Jehovah 
 doth choose, he shall be holy : ye take too 
 much upon you, ye sons of Levi. 
 
 8 And Moses said to Korah, Hear, I pray 
 you, ye sons of Levi : 
 
 9 Seemeth it but *a small thing to you, 
 that the God of Israel hath 'separated you

 you near to himself to do the service ot

 before the congregation to minister to the in ? 
 
 10 And he hath brought thee near to him, 
 and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with 
 thee : and seek ye the priesthood also ? 
 
 11 For which cause both thou and all thy 
 Congregation are gathered together against 
 Jehovah: m and what is Aaron, that ye 
 murmur against him ? 
 
 12 If And Moses sent to call Dathan and 
 Abiram, the sons of Eliab : who said, We 
 will not come up : 
 
 13 n Is it a small thing that thou hast 
 brought us up out of a land that fioweth 
 with milk and honey, to kill us in the 4 de- 
 sert, except thou "make thyself altogether 
 a prince over us ? 
 
 14 Moreover, thou hast not brought us 
 into p a land that fioweth with milk and 
 honey, or given us inheritance of fields and 
 vineyards : wilt thou tput out the eyes of 
 these men ? we will not come up. 
 
 15 And Moses was very 5 angry, and said 
 to Jehovah, 'Respect not thou their offer- 
 ing : r I have not taken one ass from them, 
 neither have I hurt one of them. 
 
 16 And Moses said to Korah, s Be thou 
 and all thy Congregation 'before Jehovah, 
 thou, and they, and Aaron, to-morrow : 
 
 17 And take 'each man his censer, and 
 
 Jut incense in them, and bring ye before 
 ehovah Cach man his censer, two hun- 
 dred and fifty censers ; thou also and 
 Aaron each of you his censer. 
 
 18 And they took Cach man his censer, 
 and put fire in them, and laid incense 
 thereon, and stood in the door of the "tent 
 of the congregation with Moses and Aaron. 
 
 19 And Korah gathered all the congrega- 
 tion against them to the door of the "tent 
 of the congregation: and "the glory of Je- 
 hovah appeared to all the congregation. 
 
 20 And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to 
 Aaron, saying, 
 
 21 'Separate yourselves from among this 
 congregation, that I may "consume them in 
 a moment. 
 
 22 And they 2 fell upon their faces, and 
 said, O God, "the God of the spirits of all 
 flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be 
 12 angry with all the congregation ? 
 
 23 if And Jehovah spoke to Moses, say- 
 ing- 
 
 24 Speak to the congregation, saying, 
 
 13 Go ye up from about the 14 tent of Koran, 
 Dathan, and Abiram. 
 
 25 And Moses rose up, and went to Da- 
 than and Abiram ; and the elders of Israel 
 followed him. 
 
 26 And he spoke to the congregation, say- 
 ing, 'Depart, I pray you, from the tents of 
 these wicked men, and touch nothing of 
 theirs, lest ye be consumed in all their sins. 
 
 27 So they ,5 went up from the tent of 
 Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every 
 side : and Dathan and Abiram came out, 
 and stood in the door of their tents, and 
 their wives, and their sons, and their little 
 children. 
 
 28 And Moses said, c By this ye shall 
 know that Jehovah hath sent me to do all 
 these works ; for I have not done them d of 
 mine own mind. 
 
 29 If these men die tthe common death 
 
 113 
 
The earth swulloweth them up. 
 
 of all men, or if* they be "visited "accord- 
 ing to the visitation of all men; then 
 Jehovah hath not sent me. 
 
 30 But if Jehovah t "create 'a new tiling, 
 and the earth open her mouth, and swallow 
 them up, with all that ls belong to them, 
 and they *go down I9 alive into the ^pit; 
 then ye shall understand that these men 
 have "despised Jehovah. 
 
 31 If ''And it came to pass, as he had made 
 an end of speaking all these words, that 
 the ground ^split asunder that was under 
 them : 
 
 32 ^Even the earth opened her mouth, 
 and swallowed them up, and their ^house- 
 holds, and *all the men that "^belonged to 
 Korah, and all their goods. 
 
 33 They, and all that ^belonged to them, 
 went down alive into the pit, and the earth 
 closed upon them: and they perished from 
 among the ^assembly. 
 
 34 And all Israel that were round about 
 them, fled at the cry of them : for they 
 said, Lest the earth swallow us up also. 
 
 35 And there *came out a fire from Je- 
 hovah, and consumed 'the two hundred 
 and fifty men who offered incense. 
 
 36 If And Jehovah spoke to Moses, say- 
 ing, 
 
 37 Speak to Eleazar the son of Aaron the 
 priest, that he take up the censers out of 
 the burning, and scatter thou the fire 
 yonder ; for "they are hallowed. 
 
 38 The censers of these "sinners against 
 their own souls, let them 28 beat them thin 
 for a covering of the altar: for they 
 offered them before Jehovah, therefore 
 they are hallowed : "and they shall be a 
 sign to the children of Israel. 
 
 39 And Eleazar the priest took the brazen 
 censers, wherewith they that were burnt 
 had offered; and they were ^beaten thin 
 for a covering of the altar : 
 
 40 To be a memorial to the children of 
 Israel, J that no stranger, who is not of the 
 seed of Aaron, come near to offer incense 
 before Jehovah ; that he be not as Korah, 
 and as his '"congregation : as Jehovah 
 said to him by the hand of Moses. 
 
 41 If But on the morrow 'all the congre- 
 gation of the children of Israel murmured 
 against Moses and against Aaron, saying, 
 Ye have killed the people of Jehovah. 
 
 42 And it came to pass when the congre- 
 gation was gathered against Moses and 
 against Aaron, that they looked towards 
 the 3I tent of the congregation: and behold, 
 the cloud covered it, and 'the glory of Je- 
 hovah appeared. 
 
 43 And Moses and Aaron came before 
 the m tent of the congregation. 
 
 44 If And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 
 
 45 <33 Rise ye up from among this congre- 
 gation, that I may consume them as m a 
 moment. And "they fell upon their faces. 
 
 46 1f And Moses said to Aaron, Take a 
 censer, and put fire therein from off the 
 altar, and put on incense, and go quickly 
 
 . to the congregation, and make an atone- 
 *ment for them: "for there is wrath gone 
 out from Jehovah ; the plague is begun. 
 A7 And Aaron took as Moses command- 
 ed, and ran into the midst of the congre- 
 gation ; and behold, the plague was begun 
 among the people : and he put on incense, 
 and made an atonement for the people.

 CHAPTER XVII. 
 
 1 Aaron's rod among all the rods of the tribes only 
 flour isheth. 10 It is left for a monument against 
 the rebels. 
 
 AND Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 
 2 Speak to the children of Israel, and 
 take of every one of them a rod according 
 to the house of their fathers, of all their 
 princes according to the house of their 
 fathers, twelve rods : write thou 'each 
 man's name upon his rod. 
 
 3 And thou shalt write Aaron's name 
 upon the rod of Levi : for one rod shall be 
 for the head of the house of their fathers. 
 
 4 And thou shalt lay them up in the ^ent 
 of the congregation before the testimony, 
 "where I will meet with you. 
 
 5 And it shall come to pass, that the 
 man's rod 'whom I shall choose shall blos- 
 som : and I will make to cease from me 
 the murmurings of the children of Israel, 
 'whereby they murmur against you. 
 
 6 "U And Moses spoke to the children of 
 Israel, and eveiy one of their princes gave 
 him ta rod "each, for each prince one, ac- 
 cording to their fathers' houses, even 
 twelve rods : and the rod of Aaron was 
 among their rods. 
 
 7 And Moses laid up the rods before 
 Jehovah in ""the Hent of witness. 
 
 8 And it came to pass, that on the morrow 
 Moses went into the tabernacle of witness : 
 and behold, the rod of Aaron for the house 
 of Levi was budded, and brought forth 
 buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded 
 almonds. 
 
 9 And Moses brought out all the rods 
 from before Jehovah to all the children 
 of Israel : and they looked, and took 5 each 
 man his rod. 
 
 10 \ And Jehovah said to Moses, Bring 
 'Aaron's rod again before the testimony, 
 to be kept -for a 6 sign against the trebels ; 
 ? and thou shalt quite take away their mur- 
 murings from me, that they die not. 
 
 11 And Moses did so: as Jehovah com- 
 manded him, so did he. 
 
 12 And the children of Israel spoke to 
 Moses, saying, Behold, we die, we perish, 
 we all perish. 
 
 13 A Whoever cometh 7 at all near to the 
 tabernacle of Jehovah shall die : shall we 
 be consumed with dying ? 
 
 CHAPTER XVIII. 
 
 1 The charge of the priests and Levites. 9 The 
 priests' portion. 21 The Levites' portion. 25 
 The heave-offering to the priests out of the Levites' 
 portion. 
 
 AND Jehovah said to Aaron, °Thou, 
 and thy sons, and thy father's house 
 with thee, shall 'bear the iniquity of the 
 sanctuary : and thou and thy sons with 
 thee shall bear the iniquity of your priest- 
 hood. 
 
 2 And thy brethren also of the tribe of 
 Levi, the tribe of thy father, bring thou 
 with thee, that they may be 'joined to thee, 
 
The portion of the priests. 
 
 CHAPTER XVIII. 
 
 The portion of the Levites 
 
 and ^minister to thee : but 'thou and thy 
 sons with thee shall minister before the 
 'tent of witness. 
 
 3 And they shall keep thy charge, and 
 ■the charge of all the 2 tent : 'only they 
 shall not come nigh the vessels of the sanc- 
 tuary and the altar, that neither they, nor 
 ye also, die. 
 
 4 And they shall be joined to thee, and 
 keep the charge of the tabernacle of the 
 congregation, for all the service of the 
 3 tent : 'and a stranger shall not come nigh 
 to you. 
 
 5 And ye shall keep the charge of the 
 sanctuary, and the charge of the altar; 
 'that there be no wrath any more upon the 
 children of Israel. 
 
 6 And I, behold, I have m taken your 
 brethren the Levites from among the child- 
 ren of Israel : "to you they are given as a 
 gift for Jehovah, to do the service of the 
 tent of the congregation. 
 
 7 Therefore "thou and thy sons with thee 
 shall keep your priest's office for every 
 thing of the altar, and ''within the vail ; 
 and ye shall serve: I have given your 
 priest's office to you as a service of gift : 
 and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be 
 put to death. 
 
 8 If And Jehovah spoke to Aaron, Be- 
 hold, «I also have given thee the charge of 
 my heave -offerings of all the hallowed 
 things of the children of Israel ; to thee 
 have I given them r by reason of the anoint- 
 ing, and to thy sons, by an ordinance for 
 ever. 
 
 9 This shall be thine of the most holy 
 things reserved from the fire : every obla- 
 tion of theirs, every ,6 meal -offering of 
 theirs, and every 'sin-offering of theirs, 
 and every "trespass-offering of theirs, 
 which they shall render to me, shall be 
 most holy for thee and for thy sons. 
 
 10 x In the most holy place -shalt thou eat 
 it ; every male shall eat it : it shall be holy 
 to thee. 
 
 11 And this is thine ; "the heave-offering 
 of their gift, with all the wave-offerings of 
 the children of Israel : I have given them 
 to thee, and to thy sons, and to thy daugh- 
 ters with thee, by 6 an ordinance for ever : 
 "every one that is clean in thy house shall 
 eat of it. 
 
 12 *All the tbest of the ' fresh' oil, and 
 all the best of the ' new' wine and of the 
 'grain, c the first-fruits of them which they 
 shall offer to Jehovah, them have I given 
 thee. 
 
 13 And whatever is first ripe in the 
 land, d which they shall bring to Jehovah, 
 shall be thine ; 'every one that is clean in 
 thy house shall eat of it. 
 
 14 •'Every thing devoted in Israel shall 
 be thine. 
 
 15 Every thing ff "first brought forth of all 
 flesh, which they bring to Jehovah, whether 
 it be of men or beasts, shall be thine : 
 nevertheless, the first-born of man shalt 
 thou surely redeem, and the firstling of 
 unclean beasts shalt thou redeem. 
 
 16 And those that are to be redeemed 
 from a month old shalt thou redeem, 'ac-

 salt for ever before Jehovah to thee and to 
 thy seed with thee.

 shalt have no inheritance in their land, 
 neither shalt thou have any part among 
 them : ? I am thy part and thine inherit- 
 ance among the children of Israel.

 26 Thus speak to the Levites, and say to 
 them, When ye take of the children of 
 Israel the tithes which I have given you 
 from them for your inheritance, then ye 
 shall offer up a heave-offering of it for 
 Jehovah, even °a tenth part of the "tithe.

 reckoned to you, as though it were the

 ing to Jehovah of all your tithes which ye 
 receive of the children of Israel ; and ye 
 shall give thereof Jehovah's heave-offer- 
 ing to Aaron the priest. 
 
 29 Out of all your gifts ye shall offer 
 every heave-offering of Jehovah, of all 
 the tbest thereof, even the hallowed part 
 thereof out of it. 
 
 30 Therefore thou shalt say to them, 
 When ye have heaved the best thereof 
 from it, then it shall be counted to the 
 Levites as the increase of the threshing- 
 floor, and as the increase of the wine- 
 press. 
 
 31 And ye shall eat it in every place, ye 
 and your households : for it is d youv reward 
 for your service in the tent of the congre- 
 gation.

The water of separation. 
 
 CHAPTER XIX. 
 
 1 The water of separation made of the ashes of a red 
 heifer. 11 The law for the use of it in purification 
 of the unclean. 
 
 AND Jehovah spoke to Moses and to 
 Aaron, saying, 
 
 2 This is the ordinance of the law which 
 Jehovah hath commanded, saying, Speak 
 to the children of Israel, that they bring 
 thee a red heifer without spot, wherein is 
 no blemish, "and upon which never came 
 a yoke : 
 
 3 And ye shall give her to Eleazar the 
 priest, that he may bring her forth without 
 the camp, and one shall slay her before his 
 face: 
 
 4 And Eleazar the priest shall take ' some' 
 of her blood with his finger, and 'sprinkle 
 of her blood directly before the 'tent of the 
 congregation seven times : 
 
 5 And one shall burn the heifer in his 
 sight; d her skin, and her flesh, and her 
 blood, with her 2 ordure, shall he burn : 
 
 6 And the priest shall take "cedar-wood, 
 and hyssop, and 3 crimson, and cast it into 
 the midst of the burning of the heifer. 
 
 7 f Then the priest shall wash his clothes, 
 and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and 
 afterward he shall come into the camp, and 
 the priest shall be unclean until the ''even- 
 ing. 
 
 8 And he that burneth her shall wash his 
 clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in 
 water, and shall be unclean until the 
 'evening. 
 
 9 Ana a man that is clean shall gather 
 up *the ashes of the heifer, and lay them 
 up without the camp in a clean place, and 
 it shall be kept for the congregation of the 
 children of Israel *for a water of separa- 
 tion : it is a purification for sin. 
 
 10 And he that gathereth the ashes of the 
 heifer shall wash his clothes, and be un- 
 clean until the 6 evening: and it shall be 
 to the children of Israel, and to the stran- 
 ger that sojourneth among them, for 7 an 
 ordinance for ever. 
 
 11 II 'He that toucheth the dead body of 
 any tman shall be unclean seven days. 
 
 12 *He shall purify himself with it on the 
 third day, and on the seventh day he shall 
 be clean : but if he purify not himself the 
 third day, then the seventh day he shall 
 not be clean. 
 
 13 Whoever toucheth the dead body of 
 any man that is dead, and purifieth not 
 himself, 'defileth the tabernacle of Jeho- 
 vah ; and that 8 person shall be cut oft" from 
 Israel : because m the water of separation 
 was not sprinkled upon him, he shall be 
 unclean; "his uncleanness is yet upon him. 
 
 14 This is the law, when a man dieth in 
 a tent: all that come into the tent, and all 
 that is in the tent shall be unclean seven 
 days. 
 
 15 And every "open vessel which hath no 
 covering bound upon it, is unclean. 
 
 16 And T whoever toucheth one that is 
 slain with a sword in the open fields, or a 
 dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, 
 shall be unclean seven days. 
 
 17 And for an unclean person they shall 
 take of the fashes of the burnt Vieifer of 
 
 Eurification for sin, and t 10 fresh water shall 
 e put thereto in a vessel : 
 
 18 And a clean person shall take 'hyssop,

 shall be cut oft from among the congrega- 
 tion, because he hath 'defiled the sanctuary

 not been sprinkled upon him; he is un- 
 clean.

 of separation shall wash his clothes; and

 shall be unclean until "evening.

 CHAPTER XX. 
 
 1 The children of Israel come to Zin, where Miriam 
 dieth. 2 Tliey murmur for want of water. 1 Mo- 
 ses smiting the rock bringethforth water at Meri- 
 bah. 14 Moses at Kadesh desireth passage through 
 Edom, which is denied him. 22 At mount Hot 
 Aaron resigneth his place to Eleazar, and dieth. 
 
 THEN "came the children of Israel, 
 even the whole congregation, into the 
 desert of Zin in the first month : and the 
 people abode in Kadesh ; and 'Miriam died 
 there, and was buried there. 
 
 2 "And there was no water for the con- 
 gregation : d and they gathered themselves 
 together against Moses and against Aaron. 
 
 3 And the people "strove with Moses, 
 and spoke, saying, 2 that we had died 
 Avhen our brethren died before Jehovah ! 
 
 4 And ff why have ye brought up the con- 
 gregation of Jehovah into this 3 desert, that 
 we and our cattle should die there ? 
 
 5 And wherefore have ye made us to 
 come up out of Egypt, to bring us into this 
 evil place? it is no place of seed, or of 
 figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates; nei- 
 ther is there any water to drink. 
 
 6 And Moses and Aaron went from the 
 presence of the assembly to the door of the 
 "tent of the congregation, and *they fell 
 upon their faces : and 'the glory of Jeho- 
 vah appeared to them. 
 
 7 y[ And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 
 
 8 *Take the rod, and gather thou the 
 assembly together, thou and Aaron thy 
 brother, and speak ye to the rock before 
 their eyes ; and it shall give forth its wa- 
 ter, and 'thou shalt bring forth to them 
 water out of the rock : so thou shalt give 
 the congregation and their beasts drink. 
 
 9 And Moses took the rod m from before 
 Jehovah, as he 'had' commanded him. 
 
 10 And Moses and Aaron gathered the 
 congregation together before the rock, and 
 he said to them, "Hear now, ye rebels; 
 must we fetch you water out of this rock ? 
 
 11 And Moses lifted up his hand, and 
 with his rod he smote the rock twice : and 
 "the water came out abundantly, and the 
 congregation drank, and their beasts also 
 

 Aaron dieth upon mount Hor. 
 
 12 f And Jehovah spoke to Moses and 
 Aaron, Because r ye believed me not* to 
 « 5 cause me to be reverenced in the sight 
 of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall 
 not bring this congregation into the land 
 which I nave given them. 
 
 13 'This is the water of ||Meribah; be- 
 cause the children of Israel strove with 
 Jehovah, and he was 6 reverenced by them. 
 
 14 1f 'And Moses sent messengers from 
 Kadesh to the king of Edom, 'Thus saith 
 thy brother Israel, Thou knowest all the 
 'distress that hath tbefallen us : 
 
 15 "How our fathers went down into 
 Egypt, "'and we have dwelt in Egypt a 
 long time ; *and the Egyptians vexed us, 
 ana our fathers : 
 
 16 And "when we cried to Jehovah, he 
 heard our voice, and "sent an angel, and 
 hath brought us forth out of Egypt: and 
 behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the 
 uttermost of thy border : 
 
 17 "Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy 
 country: we will not pass through the 
 fields, or through the vineyards, neither 
 will we drink of the water of the wells : 
 we will go by the king's high-way, we 
 will not turn to the right hand nor to the 
 left, until we * shall' nave passed thy bor- 
 ders. 
 
 18 And Edom said to him, Thou shalt 
 not pass by me, lest I come out against 
 thee with the sword. 
 
 19 And the children of Israel said to 
 him, We will go by the high-way: and if 
 I and my cattle drink of thy water, 'then 
 I will pay for it : I will only, without doing 
 any thing else, go through on my feet. 
 
 20 Andhe said, 'Thou shalt notgo through. 
 And Edom came ou t against him with 8 many 
 people, and with a strong hand. 
 
 21 Thus Edom ''refused to give Israel 
 passage through his border : wherefore Is- 
 rael turned away from him. ■> 
 
 22 If And the children of Israel, even the 
 whole congregation, journeyed from 'Ka- 
 desh, *and came to mount Hor. 
 
 23 And Jehovah spoke to Moses and 
 Aaron in mount Hor, by the 9 border of the 
 land of Edom, saying, 
 
 24 Aaron shall be 'gathered to his people : 
 for he shall not enter into the land which 
 I have given to the children of Israel, be- 
 cause 'ye rebelled against my tword at the 
 water of Meribah. 
 
 25 'Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and 
 bring them up to mount Hor : 
 
 26 And strip Aaron of his garments, and 
 put them upon Eleazar his son : and Aaron 
 shall be gathered to his people, and shall 
 die there. 
 
 27 And Moses did as Jehovah 'had' com- 
 manded : and they went up into mount 
 Hor in the sight of all the congregation. . 
 
 28 'And Moses stripped Aaron of his 
 garments, and put them upon Eleazar his 
 son ; and m Aaron died there in the top of 
 the mount : and Moses and Eleazar came 
 down from the mount. 
 
 29 And when all the congregation saw 
 that Aaron was dead, they 10 wept for Aaron 
 "thirty days, even all the house of Israel.

 ed by a brazen serpent. 10 Sundry journeys of 
 the Israelites. 21 Sihon is overcome, 33 and Og. 
 
 AND when "king Arad the Canaanite. 
 who dwelt in the south, heard 2 it said 
 that Israel came 'by the way of 3 these re- 
 gions ; then he fought against Israel, and 
 took some of them prisoners. 
 
 2 "And Israel vowed a vow to Jehovah, 
 and said, If thou wilt indeed deliver this 
 people into my hand, then d I will utterly 
 destroy their cities. 
 
 3 And Jehovah hearkened to the voice 
 of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites; 
 and they utterly destroyed them and their 
 cities: and he called the name of the place 
 HHormah. 
 
 4 U And 'they journeyed from mount Hor 
 by the way of the Red sea, to 'compass 
 the land of Edom : and the soul of the 
 people was much ||t 4 vexed because of the 
 way. 
 
 5 And the people ff spoke against God, and 
 against Moses, 'Wherefore nave ye brought 
 us up out of Egypt to die in the 6 desert ? 
 for there is no bread, neither is there any 
 
 water ; and 
 
 !6 we loathe this light bread. 
 
 6 And 'Jehovah sent I7 burmng serpents 
 among the people ; and they bit the people ; 
 and 8 many people of Israel died. 
 
 7 If "Therefore the people came to Mo- 
 ses, and said, We have sinned, for |"we 
 have spoken against Jehovah, and against 
 thee ; "pray to Jehovah, that he take away 
 the serpents from us. And Moses prayed 
 for the people. 
 
 8 And Jehovah said to Moses, Make 
 thee a 'burning serpent, and set it upon a 
 pole : and it shall come to pass, that every 
 one who is bitten, when he looketh upon it, 
 shall live. 
 
 9 And 'Moses made a serpent of brass, 
 and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, 
 that if a serpent had bitten any man, when 
 he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived. 
 
 10 If And the children of Israel set for- 
 ward, and 'pitched in Oboth. 
 
 11 And they journeyed from Oboth, and 
 'pitched at ||Ije-abarim, in the l0 desert which 
 is before Moab, towards the sun-rising. 
 
 12 If 'From thence they removed, and 
 pitched in the valley of Zared. 
 
 13 From thence they removed, and pitch- 
 ed on the other side of Arnon, which is in 
 the "desert that cometh out of the ,2 border 
 of the Amorites : for 'Arnon is the border 
 of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites. 
 
 14 Wherefore it is said in the book of the 
 wars of Jehovah, ||What he did in the 
 13 Supah, and in the brooks of Arnon. 
 
 15 And at the stream of the brooks that 
 "turneth to the dwelling of Ar, "and 
 t I5 joineth upon the border of Moab. 
 
 16 And from thence they went *to Beer: 
 that is the well of which Jehovah spoke to 
 Moses, Gather the people together, and I 
 will give them water. 
 
 17 If "Then Israel sung this song, tSpring 
 up, O well ; Using ye to it : 
 
 18 The '"leaders digged the well, the 
 nobles of the people digged it, by the direc- 
 tion of z the law-giver, with their staves. 
 And from the "desert they went to Matta- 
 nah: 
 
 19 And from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and 
 from Nahaliel to Bamoth : 
 
 20 And from Bamoth in the valley, that 
 
 117 
 
Sihon and Og are overcome. 
 
 is in the tcountry of Moab, to the top of 
 HPisgah, which looketh "towards pthe 
 waste. 
 21 II And 'Israel sent messengers to Sihon 
 king of the Amorites, saying, 
 
 22 'Let me pass through thy land : we 
 will not turn into the fields, or into the 
 vineyards; we will not drink of the waters 
 of the 19 wells : , but we will go along by the 
 king's high-way, until we be past thy 
 borders. 
 
 23 d And Sihon would not suffer Israel to 
 pass through his border : but Sihon gather- 
 ed all his people together, and went out 
 against Israel into the 20 desert: 'and he 
 came to Jahaz, and fought against Israel : 
 
 24 And f Israel smote him with the edge 
 of the sword, and possessed his land from 
 Arnon to Jabbok, even to the children of 
 Ammon : for the border of the children of 
 Ammon was strong. 
 
 25 And Israel took all these cities : and 
 Israel_ dwelt in all the cities .of the Amo- 
 rites, in Heshbon, and in all the tvillages 
 thereof. 
 
 26 For Heshbon was the city of Sihon 
 the king of the Amorites, who had fought 
 against the former king of Moab, and taken 
 all his land out of his hand, even to Arnon. 
 
 27 Wherefore they that speak in proverbs 
 say, Come into Heshbon, let the city of 
 Sihon be built and prepared. 
 
 28 For there is a *fire gone out of Hesh- 
 bon, a flame from the city of Sihon: it hath 
 consumed ft Ar of Moab, and the lords of 
 the high places of Arnon. 
 
 26 Wo to thee, Moab ! thou art undone, 
 
 people of 'Chemosh : he hath given his 
 sons that escaped, and his daughters, into 
 captivity to Sihon king of the Amorites. 
 
 30 We have shot at them ; Heshbon is 
 perished even Ho Dibon, and we have laid 
 them waste even to Nophah, which reach- 
 eth to 'Medeba. 
 
 31 % Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the 
 Amorites. 
 
 32 And Moses sent to spy out "Jazer, 
 and they took the villages thereof, and 
 drove out the Amorites who ivere there. 
 
 33 f "And they turned and went upby the 
 way of Bashan : and Og the king of JBashan 
 went out against them, he, and all his 
 people, to the battle "at Edrei. 
 
 34 And Jehovah said to Moses, p Fear 
 him not : for I have delivered him into thy 
 hand, and all his people, and his land ; and 
 'thou shalt do to him as thou didst to Si- 
 hon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at 
 Heshbon. 
 
 35 |"So they smote him, and his sons, and 
 all his people, until there was none left him 
 alive : and they possessed his land.

 AND "the children of Israel set forward, 
 and pitched in the plains of Moab on 
 •this side Jordan by Jericho. 
 
 2 If And 'Balak the son of Zippor saw 
 all that Israel had done to the Amorites. 
 
 3 And 'Moab was 2 greatly afraid of the 
 people, because they were many: and Moab 
 was 'terrified because of the children of

 Balak sendeth for Balaam. 
 
 4 And Moab said to "the elders of Mi- 
 dian, Now 4 will this Assembly lick up all 
 that are round about us, as the ox licketh 
 up the grass of the field. And Balak the 
 son of Zippor was king of the Moabites at 
 that time. 
 
 5 'He sent messengers therefore to Ba- 
 laam the son of Beor to 'Pethor, which is 
 by the river of the land of the children of 
 his people, to call him, saying, Behold, 
 there is a people come out from Egypt: 
 behold, they cover the tface of the earth, 
 and they abide over against me : 
 
 6 Come now therefore, I pray thee, 
 g6 Curse this people for me; for they are 
 too mighty for me : 'perhaps I shall pre- 
 vail, that we may smite them, and that I 
 may drive them out of the land : for I 
 8 know that he whom thou blessest is bless- 
 ed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed. 
 
 7 And the elders of Moab and the elders 
 of Midian departed with *the rewards of 
 divination in their hand; and they came 
 to Balaam, and spoke to him the words of 
 Balak. 
 
 8 And he said to them, 'Lodge here this 
 night, and I will bring you word again, as 
 Jehovah shall speak to me : and the princes 
 of Moab abode with Balaam. 
 
 9 'And God came to Balaam, and said, 
 What men are these with thee ? 
 
 10 And Balaam said to God, Balak the 
 son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent to 
 me, saying, 
 
 11 Behold, there is a people come out ot 
 Egypt, which covereth the face of the 
 earth : come now, 9 curse them for me ; 
 perhaps tl shall be able to overcome them, 
 and drive them out. 
 
 12 And God said to Balaam, Thou shalt 
 not go with them ; thou shalt not curse the 
 people: 'for they are blessed. 
 
 13 And Balaam rose up in the morning, 
 and said to the princes of Balak, 10 Go to 
 your land : for Jehovah refuseth to give 
 me leave to go with you. 
 
 14 And the princes of Moab rose up, and 
 they went to Balak, and said, Balaam re- 
 fuseth to come with us. 
 
 15 If And Balak sent yet again princes, 
 "many, and more honourable than they. 
 
 16 And they came to Balaam, and said 
 to him, Thus saith Balak the son of Zip- 
 por, tLet nothing, I pray thee, hinder thee 
 from coming to me : 
 
 17 For I will promote thee to very great 
 honour, and I will do whatever thou 
 sayest to me : m come therefore, I pray thee, 
 curse 12 this people for me. 
 
 18 And Balaam answered and said to the 
 servants of Balak, "If Balak would give 
 me his house full of silver and gold, °I 
 cannot go beyond the word of Jehovah 
 my God, to do less or more. 
 
 19 Now therefore, I pray you, 'tarry ye 
 also here this night, that I may know what 
 Jehovah will say to me more. 
 
 20 'And God came to Balaam at night, 
 and said to him, If the men come to call 
 thee, rise up, and go with them ; but "Vet 
 the 13 thing which I shall say to thee, that 
 shalt thou do. 
 
 21 And Balaam rose up in the morning, 
 and saddled his ass, and went with the 
 princes of Moab. 
 
 22 f And God's anger was kindled be-

 CHAPTER XXII. 
 
 cause he went : 'and the, angel of Jehovah 
 stood in the way for an adversary against 
 him. Now he was riding upon his ass, 
 and his two servants were with him. 
 
 23 And 'the ass saw the angel of Jehovah 
 standing in the way, and his sword drawn 
 in his hand : and the ass turned aside out 
 of the way, and went into the field : and 
 Balaam smote the ass, to turn her into the 
 way. 
 
 24 But the angel of Jehovah stood in a 
 path of the vineyards, a wall being on this 
 side, and a wall on that side. 
 
 25 And when the ass saw the angel of 
 Jehovah, she thrust herself to the wall, 
 and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall : 
 and he smote her again. 
 
 26 And the angel of Jehovah went further, 
 and stood in a narrow place, where was 
 no way to turn either to the right hand or 
 to the left. 
 
 27" And when the ass saw the angel of 
 Jehovah, she fell down under Balaam: 
 and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he 
 smote the ass with a "rod. 
 
 28 And Jehovah "opened the mouth of 
 the ass, and she said to Balaam, What 
 have I done to thee, that thou hast smitten 
 me these three times ? 
 
 29 And Balaam said to the ass, Because 
 thou hast mocked me : I would there were 
 a sword in my hand, 'for now would I kill 
 thee. 
 
 30 "And the ass said to Balaam, Am not 
 I thine ass, tupon which thou hast ridden 
 ||ever since I was thine to this day? was I 
 ever wont to do so to thee ? And he said, 
 Nay. 
 
 31 Then Jehovah 'opened the eyes of 
 Balaam, and he saw the angel of Jehovah 
 standing in the way, and his sword drawn 
 in his hand : and he "bowed down his head, 
 and ||fell flat on his face. 
 
 32 And the angel of Jehovah said to him, 
 "Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these 
 three times? behold, I went out 15 to be 
 an adversary to thee, because thy way is 
 *perverse before me : 
 
 33 And the ass saw me, and turned from 
 me these three times : unless she had turn- 
 ed from me, surely now also I had slain 
 thee, and saved her alive. 
 
 34 And Balaam said to the angel of Je- 
 hovah, C I have sinned ; for I knew not that 
 thou stoodest in the way against me : now 
 therefore, if it tdisplease thee, I will 16 turn 
 back. 
 
 35 And the angel of Jehovah said to Ba 
 laam, Go with the men : d but only the word 
 that I shall speak to thee, that thou shalt 
 speak: so Balaam went with the princes 
 of Balak. 
 
 36 If And when Balak heard that Balaam 
 was come, 'he went out to meet him to a 
 city of Moab, %hich is in the border of 
 Arnon, which is in the utmost "region. 
 
 37 And Balak said to Balaam, Did I not 
 earnestly send to thee to call thee? where- 
 fore earnest thou not ? am I not able in- 
 deed e to promote thee to honour ? 
 
 38 And Balaam said to Balak, Lo, I am 
 come to thee : have I now any power at 
 all to say any thing ? Hhe word that God 
 putteth in my mouth, that shall I speak. 
 
 39 And Balaam went with Balak, and 
 they came to ||Kirjath-huzoth.

 Balaam's parables. 
 
 40 And Balak offered oxen and sheep, 
 and sent to Balaam, and to the princes 
 that were with him. 
 
 41 And it came to pass on the morrow, 
 that Balak took Balaam, and brought him 
 up into the 'high places of Baal, that thence 
 he might see the utmost part of the people* 
 
 CHAPTER XXIII. 
 
 1, 13, 28 Balak's sacrifice. 7, 18 Balaam's parable. 
 
 AND Balaam said to Balak, "Build me 
 here seven altars, and prepare me 
 here seven oxen and seven rams. 
 
 2 And Balak did as Balaam had spoken ; 
 and Balak and Balaam 'offered on ^each 
 altar a bullock and a ram. 
 
 3 And Balaam said to Balak, 'Stand by 
 thy burnt-offering, and I will go : 2 perhaps 
 Jehovah will come d to meet me: and what- 
 ever he sheweth me I will tell thee. And 
 || he went 3 upon a hill. 
 
 4 'And God met Balaam : and he said to 
 him, I have prepared seven altars, and I 
 have offered upon *each altar a bullock and 
 a ram. 
 
 5 And Jehovah 'put a word in Balaam's 
 mouth, and said, Return to Balak, and 
 thus thou shalt speak. 
 
 6 And he returned to him, and lo, he 
 stood by his burnt-sacrifice, he, and all the 
 princes of Moab. 
 
 7 And he s took up his parable, and said, 
 Balak the king of Moab hath brought me 
 from 5 Syria, out of the mountains of the 
 east, saying, "Come, 6 curse Jacob, for me, 
 and come, * 'execrate Israel. 
 
 8 *How shall I curse, whom God hath not 
 cursed ? or how shall I 8 execrate, whom 
 Jehovah hath not 9 execrated ? 
 
 9 For from the top of the rocks I see 
 him, and from the hills I behold him : lo, 
 'the people shall dwell alone, and m shall 
 not be reckoned among the nations. 
 
 10 "Who can count the dust of Jacob, 
 and the number of the fourth part of Israel ? 
 Let 1me die "the death of the righteous, 
 and let my last end be like his ! 
 
 11 And Balak said to Balaam, What 
 hast thou done to me ? ''I took thee to curse 
 mine enemies, and behold, thou hast bless- 
 ed them altogether. 
 
 12 And he answered and said, 'Must I 
 not take heed to speak that which Jeho- 
 vah hath put in my mouth ? 
 
 13 And Balak said to him, Come, I pray 
 thee, with me to another place, from 
 whence thou mayest see them : thou shalt 
 see but the utmost part of them, and shall 
 not see them all: and curse 9 them, for 
 me, from thence. 
 
 14 1 And he brought him into the field 
 of Zophim, to the top of || Pisgah, r and 
 built seven altars, and offered a bullock 
 and a ram on 10 each altar. 
 
 15 And he said to Balak, Stand here by 
 thy burnt-offering, while I meet JEHO- 
 VAH yonder. 
 
 16 And Jehovah met Balaam, and 'put 
 a word in his mouth, and said, Go again to 
 Balak, and say thus. 
 
 17 And when he came to him, behold, 
 he stood by his burnt-offering, and the 
 princes of Moab with him. And Balak 
 said to him, What hath Jehovah spoken ? 
 
 18 And.he took up his parable, and said, 
 'Rise up, Balak, and hear ; hearken to me, 
 thou son of Zippor : 
 
 1 119 
 
Balaam's prophecy of Israel's happiness NUMBERS. 
 
 19 "God is not a man, that he should lie; 
 neither the son of man, that he should re 
 pent : hath he said, and shall he not do it? 
 or hath he spoken, and shall lve not make 
 it good ? 
 
 20 Behold, I have received command- 
 ment to bless : and x he hath blessed, and 
 
 1 cannot reverse it. 
 
 21 »He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, 
 neither hath he seen perverseness in Is- 
 rael : 'Jehovah his God 'is with him, "and 
 the shout of a king is among them. 
 
 22 'God brought them out of Egypt ; he 
 hath as it were c the "swiftness of a ' f buft'alo. 
 
 23 Surely there is no enchantment ||a- 
 gainst Jacob, neither is there any divina- 
 tion against Israel : according to 13 the time 
 it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, 
 d What hath God wrought ! 
 
 24 Behold, the people shall rise up e as a 
 great lion, and lift up himself as a young 
 Hon : 'he shall not lie down until he eat of 
 the prey, and drink the blood of the slain. 
 
 25 If And Balak said to Balaam, Neither 
 curse them at all, nor bless them at all. 
 
 26 But Balaam answered and said to 
 Balak, Told not I thee, saying, «A11 that 
 Jehovah speaketh, that I must do ? 
 
 27 If And Balak said to Balaam, *Come, 
 I pray thee, I will bring thee to another 
 place ; 14 perhaps it will please God that 
 thou mayest curse "them, for me, from 
 thence. 
 
 28 And Balak brought Balaam to. the top 
 of Peor, that looketh * 16 towards the waste. 
 
 29 And Balaam said to Balak, *Build me 
 here seven altars, and prepare me here 
 seven bullocks and seven rams. 
 
 30 And Balak did as Balaam had said, and 
 offered a bullock and a ram on "each altar. 
 
 CHAPTER XXIV. 
 
 1 Balaam, leaving divinations, prophesieth the hap- 
 piness of Israel. 10 Balak in anger dismisseth 
 him. 15 He prophesieth of the Star of Jacob, and 
 the destruction of some nations. 
 
 AND when Balaam saw that it pleased 
 Jehovah to bless Israel, he went not, 
 as at "other times, tto seek for enchant- 
 ments, but he set his face towards the 'de- 
 sert. 
 
 2 And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he 
 saw Israel 'abiding in his tents according 
 to their tribes, and the Spirit of God came 
 upon him. 
 
 3 ''And he took up his parable, and said, 
 Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the 
 man whose eyes are open hath said : 
 
 4 He hath said, who heard the words of 
 God, who saw the vision of the Almighty, 
 •falling into a trance, but having his eyes 
 open: 
 
 5 How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, 
 and thy tabernacles, O Israel ! 
 
 6 2 Like the valleys are they spread forth, 
 'like gardens by the 4 river, -^like aloe- 
 trees, *which Jehovah hath planted, and 
 6 like cedar -trees beside the waters. 
 
 7 He shall pour the water out of his 
 buckets, and his seed shall be *in 'great 
 waters, and his king shall be higher than 
 'Agag, and his 'kingdom shall be exalted. 
 
 8 ! God brought him forth out of Egypt : 
 he hath as it were the 'swiftness of a 'buf- 
 falo: he shall m eat up the nations his 
 enemies, and shall "break their bones, and 
 "pierce them 10 with his arrows.

 9 'He couched, he lay down as a lion, 
 and as a great lion : who shall stir him up? 
 'Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and 
 cursed is he that curseth thee. 
 
 10 If And Balak's anger was kindled 
 against Balaam, and he r smote his hands 
 together: and Balak said to Balaam, *I 
 called thee to curse mine enemies, and be- 
 hold, thou has altogether blessed them 
 these three times. 
 
 11 Therefore now flee thou to thy place : 
 'I thought to promote thee to great honour; 
 but lo, Jehovah hath kept thee back from 
 honour. 
 
 12 And Balaam said to Balak, Did I not 
 speak also to thy messengers which thou 
 sentest to me, saying, 
 
 13 "If Balak would give me his house 
 full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond 
 the commandment of Jehovah, to do either 
 good or bad of mine own mind ; but what 
 Jehovah saith, that will I speak ? 
 
 14 And now, behold, I go to my people : 
 come therefore, and x l will "foretell to 
 thee what this people shall do to thy peo- 
 ple "in the latter days. 
 
 15 1f*And he took up his parable, and 
 said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, 
 and the man whose eyes are open hath 
 said; 
 
 16 He hath said, who heard the words of 
 God, and knew the knowledge of the Most 
 High, who saw the vision of the Almighty, 
 falling into a trance, but having his eyes 
 open: 
 
 17 °I shall see him, but not now : I shall 
 behold him, but not nigh : there shall come 
 *a Star out of Jacob, and 'a Sceptre shall 
 rise out of Israel, and shall || 12 pierce the 
 two sides of Moab, and destroy all the 
 "children of pride. 
 
 18 And d Edom shall be a possession, 
 Seir also shall be a possession for his ene- 
 mies ; and Israel shall do valiantly. 
 
 19 e Out of Jacob shall come he that shall 
 have dominion, and shall destroy him that 
 remaineth of the city. 
 
 20 If And when he looked on Amalek, 
 he took up his parable, and said, Amalek 
 was ||the hrst of the nations, but his latter 
 end \\shall be that he perish for ever. 
 
 21 And he looked on the Kenites, and 
 took up his parable, and said, Strong is thy 
 dwelling-place, and thou puttest thy nest 
 in a rock. 
 
 22 Nevertheless, tthe Kenite shall be 
 wasted, || until Asshur shall carry thee 
 away captive. 
 
 23 And he took up his parable, and said, 
 Alas, who shall live when God doeth this ! 
 
 24 And ships shall come from the coast 
 of /u Chittim, and shall afflict Asshur, and 
 shall afflict ff,5 Eber, and he also shall perish 
 for ever. 
 
 25 And Balaam rose up, and went and 
 "returned to his place: and Balak also 
 went his way. 
 
 CHAPTER XXV. 
 
 1 Israel at Shittim commit ^lewdness and idolatry. 
 6 Phinehas killeth Zimri and Cozbi. 10 God 
 therefore giveth him an everlasting priesthood. 
 16 The Midianites are to be vexed. 
 
 AND Israel abode in "Shittim, and the 
 people began to commit lewdness 
 with the daughters of Moab. 
 2 And they called the people to d the 
 
Zimri and Cozbi slain. 
 
 sacrifices of their gods ; and the people 
 did eat, and 'bowed down to their gods. 
 
 3 And Israel joined himself to Baal-peor : 
 and 'the anger of Jehovah was kindled 
 against Israel. 
 
 4 And Jehovah said to Moses, s Take all 
 the 3 chiefs of the people, and hang them 
 up 4 for Jehovah against the sun, fhat the 
 fierce anger of Jehovah may be turned 
 away from Israel. 
 
 5 And Moses said to 'the judges of Is- 
 rael, *Slay ye 5 each one his men that were 
 joined to Baal-peor. 
 
 6 If And, behold, one of the children of 
 Israel came and brought to his brethren a 
 Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, 
 and in the sight of all the congregation of 
 the children of Israel, 'who were weeping 
 before the door of the 6 tent of the congre- 
 gation. 
 
 7 And "when Phinehas, "the son of Elea- 
 zar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, 
 he rose up from among the congregation, 
 and took a 'lance in his hand ; 
 
 8 And he went after the man of Israel 
 into the tent, and thrust both of them 
 through, the man of Israel, and the wo- 
 man through her 8 body: So "the plague 
 was stayed from the children of Israel. 
 
 9 And p those that died in the plague were 
 twenty and four thousand. 
 
 10 If And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 
 
 11 'Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son 
 of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath 
 away from the children of Israel (while he

 that I consumed not the children of Israel 
 in r my jealousy. 
 
 12 Wherefore say, "Behold, I give to him 
 my covenant of 9 peace : 
 
 13 And he shall have it, and 'his seed after 
 him, even the covenant of "an everlasting 
 priesthood; because he was x zealous for 
 his God, and "made an atonement for the 
 children of Israel. 
 
 14 Now the name of the Israelite that 
 was slain, even that was slain with the 
 Midianitish woman, was Zimri, the son 
 of Salu, a prince of a tchief house among 
 the Simeonites. 
 
 15 And the name of the Midianitish 
 woman that was slain was Cozbi the 
 daughter of *Zur; he was head over a peo- 
 ple, and of a chief house in Midian. 
 
 16 *\ And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 
 
 17 °Vex the Midianites and smite them : 
 
 18 For they vex you with their 'wiles, 
 wherewith they have '"deceived you in the 
 matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, 
 the daughter of a prince of Midian, their 
 sister, who was slain in the day of the 
 plague for Peor's sake.

 2 "Take the sum of all the congregation

 53 *To these the land shall be divided 
 for an inheritance, according to the num- 
 ber of names. 
 
 54 'To many thou shalt tgive the more 
 inheritance, and to few thou shalt tgive

 "■divided by lot : according to the names 
 of the tribes of their fathers they shall in- 
 herit. 
 
 56 According to the lot shall the posses- 
 sion thereof be divided between many 
 and few. 
 
 57 f "And these are they that were num- 
 bered of the Levites after their families :

 them were twenty and three thousand, all 
 males from a month old and upward : /for 
 they were not numbered among the child- 
 ren of Israel, because there was 'no in- 
 heritance given them among the children 
 of Israel.

 by Moses and Eleazar the priest, who 
 numbered the children of Israel "in the 
 plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho. 
 
 64 "But among these there was not a man 
 of them whom Moses and Aaron the priest 
 numbered, when they numbered the child- 
 ren of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai.

 them, They "shall surely die in the "desert.

 Joshua the son of Nun.

 CHAPTER XXVII. 
 
 1 The daughters of Zelophehad ^entreat for an in- 
 heritance. 6 The law of inheritances. 12 Moses, 
 being told of his death, sueth for a successor. 18 
 Joshua is appointed to succeed him. 
 
 THEN came the daughters of "Zelophe- 
 had, the son of Hepher, the son of 
 Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Ma- 
 nasseh, of the families of Manasseh the 
 son of Joseph : and these are the names 
 of his daughters ; Mahlah, Noah, and Ho- 
 glah, and Milcah, and Tirzah. 
 
 2 And they stood before Moses, and be- 
 fore Eleazar the priest, and before the 
 princes, and all the congregation, by the 
 door of the 2 tent of the congregation say- 
 ing. 
 
 3 Our father 'died in the Mesert, and he 
 was not in the 4 congregation of them that 
 gathered themselves together against Je- 
 hovah "in the company of Korah; but 
 died in his own sin, and had no sons. 
 
 4 Why should the name of our father be 
 t 5 taken away from among his family, be- 
 cause he hath no son ? ''Give to us there- 
 fore a possession among the brethren of 
 our father. 
 
 5 And Moses 'brought their cause before 
 Jehovah. 
 
 6 ^ And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 
 
 7 The daughters of Zelophehad speak 
 right : ■''thou shalt surely give them a pos- 
 session of an inheritance among their 
 father's brethren; and thou shalt cause 
 the inheritance of their father to pass to 
 them. 
 
 8 And thou shalt speak to the children 
 of Israel, saying, If a man die, and have 
 no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance 
 to pass to his daughter. 
 
 9 And if he have no daughter, then ye 
 shall give his inheritance to his brethren. 
 
 10 And if he have no brethren, then ye 
 shall give his inheritance -to his father's 
 brethren. 
 
 11 And if his father have no brethren, 
 then ye shall give his inheritance to his 
 kinsman that is next to him of his family, 
 and he shall possess it : and it shall be to 
 the children of Israel e6 an ordinance of 
 judgment, as Jehovah commanded Moses. 
 
 12 ^f Ami Jehovah said to Moses, A7 Go 
 up into this mount Abarim, and see the 
 land which I have given to the children of 
 Israel. 
 
 13 And when thou hast seen it, thou also 
 'shalt be gathered to thy people, as Aaron 
 thy brother was gathered. 
 
 14 For ye 'rebelled against my command- 
 ment in the desert of Zin, in the strife of 
 the congregation, to 'reverence me at the 
 water before their eyes : that is the 'water 
 of Meribah in Kadesh in the 9 desert of Zin. 
 
 15 If And Moses spoke to Jehovah, saying, 
 
 16 Let Jehovah, "the God of the spirits 
 «>f all flesh, set a man over the congrega- 
 tion. 
 
 17 Who may go out before them, and 
 who may go in before them, and who may 
 lead them out, and who may bring them 
 in ; that the congregation or Jehovah be 
 not "as sheep which have no shepherd. 
 
 18 Tf And Jehovah said to Moses, Take 
 thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man p in 
 whom is the spirit, and 'lay thy hand upon 
 him;

 1 Offerings are to be observed. 3 The continual 
 burnt-offering. 9 The offering on the sabbath, 11 
 on the new moons, 16 at the passover, 26 in the 
 day of first-fruits. 
 
 AND Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 
 2 Command the children of Israel, 
 and say to them, My offering, and "my 
 food for my sacrifices made by fire, for 
 ta sweet 2 odour to me, shall ye observe to 
 offer to me in their 3 season. 
 
 3 And thou shalt say to them, 'This is 
 the offering made by fire which ye shall 
 offer to Jehovah ; two lambs of the first 
 year without spot tday by day, for a con- 
 tinual burnt-offering. 
 
 4 The one lamb shalt thou offer in the 
 morning, and the other lamb shalt thou 
 offer tat 4 evening : 
 
 5 And c a tenth part of an ephah of flour 
 for a ''meat-offering, mingled with the 
 fourth part of a e hin of beaten oil. 
 
 6 It is_ f& continual burnt-offering, which 
 was s ofl'ered in mount Sinai for a sweet 
 6 odour, a sacrifice made by fire to Jehovah. 
 
 7 And the drink-offering thereof shall be 
 the fourth part of a hin for the one lamb : 
 ? in the holy place shalt thou cause the 
 strong 7 drink to be poured to Jehovah for 
 a drink-offering : 
 
 8 And the other lamb shalt thou offer at 
 8 evening : as the 9 meal-offering of the 
 morning, and as the drink-offering there- 
 of, thou shalt offer it, a sacrifice made by 
 fire, of a sweet 10 odour to Jehovah. 
 
 9 If And on the sabbath-day two lambs 
 of the first year without spot, and two 
 tenth-"parts of flour for a lz meal -offering, 
 mingled with oil, and the drink-offering 
 thereof: 
 
 10 This is the burnt-offering of every 
 sabbath, beside the continual burnt-offer- 
 ing, and its drink-offering. 
 
 11 If And In the beginnings of your 
 months ye shall offer a burnt-offering to Je- 
 hovah ; two young bullocks, and one ram, 
 seven lambs of the first year without spot; 
 
 12 And *three tenth- ,3 parts of flour for a 
 14 meal-offering, mingled with oil, for one 
 bullock ; and two tenth-^parts of flour foi

Tlie offerings to Jehovah 
 
 14 And their drink-offerings shall be half 
 a hin of wine to a bullock, and the third 
 part of a hin to a ram, and a fourth part

 fering of every month throughout the 
 months of the year. 
 
 15 And 'one kid of the goats for a sin- 
 offering to Jehovah shall be offered, besides 
 the continual burnt-offering, and its drink- 
 offering.

 is the feast : seven days shall unleavened 
 bread be eaten. 
 
 18 In the "first day shall be a holy con- 
 vocation ; ye shall do no manner of servile

 19 But ye shall offer a sacrifice made by

 21 A several tenth- 24 part shalt thou offer

 22 And ? one goat for a sin-offering, to 
 make an atonement for you. 
 
 23 Ye shall offer these beside the burnt- 
 offering in the morning, which is for a con- 
 tinual burnt-offering. 
 
 24 After this manner ye shall offer daily 
 throughout the seven days, the meat of the 
 sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet 25 odour 
 to Jehovah : it shall be offered beside the 
 continual burnt-offering, and its drink- 
 offering. 
 
 25 And r on the seventh day ye shall have 
 a holy convocation ; ye shall do no servile 
 work. 
 
 26 If Also 'in the day of the first-fruits, 
 when ye bring a new 26 meal -offering to

 3 If a woman also vow a vow to Jeho- 
 vah, and bind herself by a bond, being in 
 her father's house in her youth ; 
 
 4 And her father hear her vow, and her 
 bond wherewith she hath bound ^herself, 
 and her. father shall hold his peace at her ; 
 then all her vows shall stand, and every 
 bond wherewith she hath bound 3 herself 
 shall stand. 
 
 5 But if her father disallow her in the 
 day that he heareth, not any of her vows 
 or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound 
 4 herself shall stand ; and Jehovah shall 
 forgive her, because her father 6 restrained 
 her. 
 
 6 And if she had at all a husband when 
 tshe vowed, or uttered 6 any thing out of 
 her lips, wherewith she bound 'herself: 
 
 7 And her husband heard it, and held 
 his peace at her in the day that he heard 
 it: then her vows shall stand, and her 
 bonds wherewith she bound 8 herself shall 
 stand. 
 
 8 But if her husband ^restrained her on 
 the day that he heard it, then he shall make 
 her vow which she vowed, and that which 
 she uttered with her lips, wherewith she 
 bound '"herself, of none effect ; and Je- 
 hovah shall forgive her. 
 
 9 But every vow of a widow, and of her 
 that is divorced, wherewith they have 
 bound "themselves, shall stand against her. 
 
 10 And if she vowed in her husband's 
 house, or bound I2 herself by a bond with 
 an oath ; 
 
 11 And her husband heard it, and held 
 his peace at her, and "restrained her not : 
 .then all her vows shall stand, and every 
 bond wherewith she bound "herself shall 
 stand. 
 
 12 But if her husband hath utterly made 
 them void on the day he heard them ; then 
 whatever proceeded out of her lips con- 
 cerning her vows, or concerning the bond 
 of 15 herself, shall not stand : her husband 
 hath made them void ; and Jehovah shall 
 forgive her. 
 
 13 Every vow, and every binding oath to 
 afflict 16 herself, her husband may establish 
 it, or her husband may make it void. 
 
 14 But if her husband altogether hold 
 his peace at her from day to day ; then he 
 establisheth all her vows, or all her bonds, 
 which are upon her : he confirmeth them, 
 because he held his peace at her in the day 
 that he heard them. 
 
 15 But if he shall "in any way make 
 them void after he hath heard them ; then 
 he shall bear her iniquity. 
 
 16 These are the "ordinances which Je- 
 hovah commanded Moses between a man 
 and his wife, between the father and his 
 daughter, being yet in her youth in her 
 father's house. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXI. 
 
 1 The Midianites are spoiled, and Balaam slain. 13 
 Moses is 'angry with the officers, for saving the 
 women alive. 19 How the soldiers, with their 
 captives and spoil, are to be purified. 25 The pro- 
 portion whereby the prey is to be divided. 48 The 
 voluntary oblation to the treasury of JEHOVAH. 
 
 AND Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 
 2 "Avenge the children of Israel of 
 the Midianites: afterward shalt thou *be 
 gathered to thy people. 
 3 And Moses spoke to the people, say- 
 
 125 
 
The Midianites spoiled. 
 
 ing, Arm some of yourselves to the war, 
 and let them go against the Midianites, 
 and avenge Jehovah of Midian. 
 
 4 tOf every tribe a thousand, throughout 
 all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to 
 the war. 
 
 5 So there were 2 set apart out of the 
 thousands of Israel, a thousand of every 
 tribe, twelve thousand armed for war. 
 
 6 And Moses sent them to the war, a 
 thousand of 3 each tribe, them and Phine- 
 has the son of Eleazar the priest, to the 
 war, with the holy instruments, 4 even c the 
 trumpets to blow in his hand. 
 
 7 And they warred against the Midian- 
 ites, as Jehovah commanded Moses ; and 
 ''they slew all the 'males. 
 
 8 And they slew the kings of Midian, 
 besides the rest of them that were slain ; 
 namely, f Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and 
 Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian : 
 fBalaam also the son of Beor they slew 
 with the sword. 
 
 9 And the children of Israel took all the 
 women of Midian captives, and their little 
 ones, and took the spoil of all their cattle, 
 and all their flocks, and all their goods. 
 
 10 And they burnt all their cities wherein 
 they dwelt, and all their 5 castles, with fire. 
 
 11 And Hhey took all the spoil, and all 
 the prey, both of men and of beasts. 
 
 12 And they brought the captives, and 
 the prey, and the spoil to Moses and Elea- 
 zar the priest, and to the congregation of 
 the children of Israel, to the camp at the 
 plains of Moab, which are by Jordan near 
 Jericho. 
 
 . 13 ^T And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, 
 and all the princes of the congregation, 
 went forth to meet them without the camp. 
 
 14 And Moses was 6 angry with the offi- 
 cers of the host, with the captains over 
 thousands, and captains over hundreds, 
 who came from the tbattle. 
 
 15 And Moses said to them, Have ye 
 saved 'all the women alive ? • 
 
 16 Behold, Hhese caused the children of 
 Israel, through the 'counsel of Balaam, to 
 commit trespass against Jehovah in the 
 matter of Peor, and "there was a plague 
 among the congregation of Jehovah. 
 
 17 Now therefore "kill every male among 
 the little ones, and kill every woman that 
 hath known man by lying with thim. 
 
 18 But all the women-children, that have 
 not known a man by lying with him, keep 
 alive for yourselves. 
 
 19 And "do ye abide without the camp 
 seven days : whoever hath killed any 
 person, and T whoever hath touched any 
 slain, purify both yourselves and your cap- 
 tives on the third day, and on the seventh 
 day. 
 
 20 And purify all your raiment, and all 
 tthat is made of skins, and all work of 
 goats' hair, and all things made of wood. 
 
 21 If And Eleazar the priest said to the 
 men of war who went to the battle, This is 
 the ordinance of the law which Jehovah 
 commanded Moses ; 
 
 22 Only the gold, and the silver, the 
 brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead, 
 
 23 Every thing that may abide the fire, 
 ye shall make it go through the fire, and it 
 shall be clean: nevertheless it shall be 
 purified 'with the water of separation :

 How the prey is to be divided. 
 
 and all that abideth not the fire ye shall 
 make go through the water. 
 
 24 'And ye shall wash your clothes on 
 the seventh day, and ye shall be clean, 
 and afterward ye shall come into the camp. 
 
 25 If And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 
 
 26 Take the sum of the prey tthat was 
 taken, both of man and of beast, thou, and 
 Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers 
 of the congregation: 
 
 27 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 : 
 
 28 And levy a tribute to Jehovah of the 
 men of war who went out to battle : 'one 
 'living creature of five hundred, both of 
 the persons, and of the beeves, and of the 
 asses, and of the sheep : 
 
 29 Take it of their half, and give it to 
 Eleazar the priest, for a heave-offering of 
 Jehovah. 
 
 30 And of the children of Israel's half, 
 thou shalt take "one portion of fifty, of the 
 persons, of the beeves, of the asses, and 
 of the Hflocks, of all 8 kinds of beasts, and 
 give them to the Levites, *who keep the 
 charge of the tabernacle of Jehovah. 
 
 31 And Moses and Eleazar the priest did 
 as Jehovah ' had' commanded Moses. 
 
 32 And the booty, being the rest of the 
 prey which the men of war had caught, 
 was six hundred thousand and seventy 
 thousand and five thousand sheep, 
 
 33 And threescore and twelve thousand 
 beeves, 
 
 34 And threescore and one thousand asses, 
 
 35 And thirty and two thousand persons 
 in all, of women that had not known man 
 by lying with him. 
 
 36 And the half which was the portion 
 of them that went out to war, was in num- 
 ber three hundred thousand and seven and 
 thirty thousand and five hundred sheep : 
 
 37 And Jehovah's tribute of the sheep 
 was six hundred and threescore and fifteen. 
 
 38 And the beeves were thirty and six 
 thousand; of which Jehovah's tribute was 
 threescore and twelve. 
 
 39 And the asses were thirty thousand 
 and five hundred; of which Jehovah's 
 tribute was threescore and one. 
 
 40 And the persons were sixteen thou- 
 sand, of whom Jehovah's tribute was thirty 
 and two persons. 
 
 41 And Moses gave the tribute, which 
 was Jehovah's heave-offering, to Eleazar 
 the priest, ''as Jehovah ' had' commanded 
 Moses. 
 
 42 And of the children of Israel's half, 
 which Moses divided from the men that 
 warred, 
 
 43 (Now the half that ^belonged to the 
 congregation was three hundred thousand 
 and thirty thousand and seven thousand 
 and five hundred sheep, 
 
 44 And thirty and six thousand beeves, 
 
 45 And thirty thousand asses and five 
 hundred, 
 
 46 And sixteen thousand persons ;) 
 
 47 Even r of the children of Israel's half, 
 Moses took one portion of fifty, both of 
 man and of beast, and gave them to the 
 Levites, who kept the charge of the taber- 
 nacle of Jehovah ; as Jehovah command •

 48 If And the officers who were over thou- 
 sands of the host, the captains of thou- 
 sands, and captains of hundreds, came 
 near to Moses : 
 
 49 And they said to Moses, Thy servants 
 have taken the sum of the men of war 
 who are under our tcharge, and there 
 laketh not one man of us. 
 
 50 We have therefore brought an oblation 
 for Jehovah, what every man hath t 10 ob- 
 tained, of jewels of gold, chains, and brace- 
 lets, rings, ear-rings, and "drops, "to make 
 an atonement for our ^lives before Jeho- 
 vah. 
 
 51 And Moses and Eleazar the priest 
 took the gold of them, even all wrought 
 jewels. 
 
 52 And all the gold of the toffering that 
 they offered up to Jehovah, of the captains 
 of thousands, and of the captains of hun- 
 dreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred 
 and fifty shekels. 
 
 53 (For 'the men of war had taken spoil, 
 every man for himself.) 
 
 54 And Moses and Eleazar the priest 
 took the gold of the captains of thousands, 
 and of hundreds, and brought it into the 
 ,3 tent of the congregation, °for a memorial 
 for the children of Israel before Jehovah. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXIL 
 
 1 The Revhenites and Gadites ^entreat for their in- 
 heritance on that side Jordan. 6 Moses reproveth 
 them. 16 They offer him conditions to his content. 
 33 Misses assigneth them the land. 39 They con- 
 quer it. 
 
 NOW the children of Reuben and the 
 children of Gad had a very great 
 multitude of cattle : and when they saw 
 the land of "Jaazer, and the land of Gilead, 
 that behold, the place was a place for 
 cattle ; 
 
 2 The children of Gad and the children 
 of Reuben came and spoke t*> Moses, and 
 to Eleazar the priest, and to the princes of 
 the congregation, saying, 
 
 3 Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jaazer, and 
 'Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and 
 c2 Sebam, and Nebo, and ''Beon, 
 
 4 Even the country 'which Jehovah 
 smote before the congregation of Israel, is 
 a land for cattle, and thy servants have 
 cattle : 
 
 5 Wherefore, said they, if we have found 
 3 favour in thy sight, let this land be given 
 to thy servants for a possession, and bring 
 us not over Jordan. 
 
 6 If And Moses said to the children of 
 Gad and to the children of Reuben, Shall 
 your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit 
 here ? 
 
 7 And wherefore tdiscourage ye the heart 
 of the children of Israel from going over 
 into the land which Jehovah hath given 
 them? 
 
 8 Thus did your fathers, 'when I sent 
 them from Kadesh-barnea *to see the land 
 
 9 For *when they went up to the valley 
 of Eshcol, and saw the land, they discou 
 raged the heart of the children of Israel, 
 that they should not go into the land which 
 Jehovah had given them. 
 
 10 'And Jehovah's anger was kindled the 
 same time, and he swore, saying, 
 
 11 Surely none of the men that came up 
 out of Egypt, 'from twenty years old and 
 upwards, snail see the land which I swore

 to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob ; be- 
 cause 'they have not twholly followed me: 
 
 12 ^Excepting Caleb the son of Jephun- 
 neh the Renezite, and Joshua the son of 
 Nun : '"for they have wholly followed Je- 
 hovah. 
 
 13 And Jehovah's anger was kindled 
 against Israel, and he made them "wander 
 in the 6 desert forty years, until "all the ge- 
 neration that had done evil in the sight of 
 Jehovah was consumed. 
 
 14 And behold, ye are risen up in your 
 fathers' stead, 6 a progeny of sinful men, to 
 augment yet the ^fierce anger of Jehovah 
 towards Israel. 
 
 15 For if ye 'turn away from after him, 
 he will yet again leave them in the 'desert ; 
 and ye 8 will destroy all this people. 
 
 16 f And they came near to him, and 
 said, We will build sheep-folds here for 
 our cattle, and cities for our little ones: 
 
 17 But 'we ourselves will go ready armed 
 before the children of Israel, until we have 
 brought them to their place : and our little 
 ones shall dwell in the 'fortified cities, be- 
 cause of the inhabitants of the land. 
 
 18 'We will not return to our houses, 
 until the children of Israel 'shall' have 
 inherited every man his inheritance. 
 
 19 For we will not inherit with them on 
 yonder side ' of Jordan, or forward ; 'be- 
 cause our inheritance is fallen to us on this 
 side ' of Jordan eastward. 
 
 20 If And "Moses said to them, If ye will 
 do this thing, if ye will go armed before 
 Jehovah to war, 
 
 21 And will go all of you armed over 
 Jordan before Jehovah, until he hath driven 
 out his enemies from before him, 
 
 22 And x the land be subdued before Je- 
 hovah : then afterward y ye shall return, 
 and be guiltless before Jehovah, and be- 
 fore Israel ; and *this land shall be your 
 possession before Jehovah. 
 
 23 But if ye will not do so, behold, ye 
 have sinned against Jehovah : and be sure 
 "your sin will find you out. 
 
 24 'Build "yourselves cities for your little 
 ones,, and folds for your sheep ; and do 
 that which hath proceeded out of your 
 mouth. 
 
 25 And the children of Gad and the 
 children of Reuben spoke to Moses, say- 
 ing, Thy servants will do as my lord com- 
 mandeth. 
 
 26 'Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, 
 and all our cattle, shall be there in the 
 cities of Gilead : 
 
 27 d But thy servants will pass over, every 
 man armed for war, before Jehovah to 
 battle, as my lord saith. 
 
 28 "So concerning them Moses command- 
 ed Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son 
 of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes 
 of the children of Israel : 
 
 29 And Moses said to them, If the child- 
 ren of Gad and the children of Reuben 
 will pass with you over Jordan, every man 
 armed to battle, before Jehovah, and the 
 land shall be subdued before you; then 
 ye shall give them the land of Gilead for 
 a possession : 
 
 30 But if they will not pass over with 
 you armed, they shall have possessions 
 among you in the land of Canaan. 
 
 31 And the children of Gad and the 
 
 127 
 
Moses assigneth them the land. 
 
 children of Reuben answered, saying, As 
 Jehovah hath said to thy servants, so will 
 we do. 
 
 32 We will pass over armed before Je- 
 hovah into the land of Canaan, that the 
 possession of our inheritance on this side 
 ' of Jordan may be ours. 
 
 33 And / Moses gave to them, even to the 
 children of Gad, and to the children of 
 Reuben, and to half the tribe of Manas- 
 seh, the son of Joseph, s the kingdom of 
 Sihon king of the Amorites, and the king 
 dom of Og king of Bashan, the land, with 
 the cities thereof in the "regions, even the 
 cities of the country round about. 
 
 34 If And the children of Gad built "Di- 
 bon, and Ataroth, and 'Aroer, 
 
 35 And Atrotli, Shophan, and Jaazer, and 
 Jogbehah, 
 
 36 And ! Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran, 
 m 12 fortified cities : and folds for sheep. 
 
 37 And the children of Reuben "built 
 Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kirjathaim, 
 
 38 And "Nebo, and ?Baal-meon, ('their 
 names being changed,) and Shibmah : and 
 tgave other names to the cities which they 
 built. 
 
 39 And the children of 'Machir the son of 
 Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and 
 dispossessed the Amorite who was in it. 
 
 40 And Moses 'gave Gilead to Machir 
 the son of Manasseh ; and he dwelt therein. 
 
 41 And 'Jair the son of Manasseh went 
 and took the small towns thereof, and 
 called them "the villages of Jair. 
 
 42 And Nobah went and took Kenath, 
 and the villages thereof, and called it No- 
 bah. after his own name. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXIII. 
 
 1 Two and forty journeys of the Israelites. 50 The 
 Canaanites are to be destroyed. 
 
 THESE are the journeys of the children 
 of Israel, who went forth out of the 
 land of Egypt with their armies under the 
 hand of Moses and Aaron. 
 
 2 And Moses wrote their goings out ac- 
 cording to their journeys by the command- 
 ment of Jehovah: and these are their 
 journeys according to their goings out. 
 
 3 And they " 'journeyed from Rameses in 
 'the first month, on the fifteenth day of the 
 first month ; on the morrow after the pass- 
 over the children of Israel went out c2 bya 
 high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians. 
 
 4 For the Egyptians 3 were burying all 
 their first-born, d whom Jehovah had smit- 
 ten among them : 'upon their gods also 
 Jehovah executed judgments. 
 
 5 'And the children of Israel 'journeyed 
 from Rameses, and pitched in Succoth. 
 
 6 And they 'journeyed from *Succoth, 
 and pitched in Etham, which is in the edge 
 of the wilderness. 
 
 7 And Hhey 6 journeyed from Etham, and 
 turned again to Pi-hahiroth, which is be- 
 fore Baal-zephon : and they pitched before 
 Migdol. 
 
 8 And they 'journeyed from before Pi- 
 hahiroth, and 'passed through the midst of 
 the sea into the desert, and went three 
 days' journey in the desert of Etham, and 
 pitched in Marah. 
 
 9 And they journeyed from Marah, and 
 'came to Ehm : and in Elim were twelve 
 fountains of water, and threescore and 
 ten palm-trees ; and they pitched there.

 44 And 'they "'journeyed from Oboth, 
 and pitched in || d Ije-abarim, in the border 
 of Moab. 
 
 45 And they ^journeyed from Iim, and 
 pitched 'in Dibon-gad. 
 
 46 And they "journeyed from Dibon-gad, 
 and encamped in Almon'-diblathaim. 
 
 47 And they '"journeyed from Almon-di- 
 blathaim, ff and pitched in the mountains of 
 Abarim, before Nebo. 
 
 48 And they ^journeyed from the moun- 
 tains of Abarim, and ''pitched in the plains 
 of Moab by Jordan near Jericho. 
 
 49 And they pitched by Jordan, from 
 Beth-jesimoth even to || 'Abel-shittim in the 
 plains of Moab. 
 
 50 1f And Jehovah spoke to Moses in the 
 plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, 
 saying, 
 
 51 Speak to the children of Israel, and 
 say to them, *When ye are passed over 
 Jordan into the land of Canaan ; 
 
 52 'Then ye shall drive out all the in- 
 habitants of the land from before you, and 
 destroy all their 46 carved stones, and de- 
 stroy all their molten images, and quite 
 pluck down all their high places : 
 
 53 And ye shall dispossess the inhabitants 
 of the land, and dwell therein : for I have 
 given you the land to possess it. 
 
 54 And m ye shall divide the land by lot 
 for an inheritance among your families: 
 and to the more ye shall tgive the more 
 inheritance, and to the fewer ye shall tgive 
 the less inheritance : 47 each man's inherit- 
 ance shall be in the place where his lot 
 falleth ; according to the tribes of your fa- 
 thers ye shall inherit. 
 
 55 But if ye will not drive out the inha- 
 bitants of the land from before you ; then 
 it shall come to pass, that those whom ye 
 let remain of them shall be n48 prickles in 
 your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and 
 shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell. 
 
 56 Moreover, it shall come to pass, that I 
 49 will do to you, as I thought to do to them. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXIV. 
 
 1 The borders of the land. 16 The names of the men 
 who shall divide the land. 
 \ ND Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 
 -£*- 2 Command the children of Israel, 
 and say to them, When ye come into *the 
 land of Canaan; (this is the land that shall 
 fall to you for an inheritance, even the land 
 of Canaan with the 'borders thereof:) 
 
 3 Then "your south quarter shall be from 
 the 2 desert of Zin along by the 3 side of 
 Edom, and your south border shall be the 
 outmost coast of c the salt sea eastward : 
 
 4 And your border shall turn from the 
 south "to the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass 
 on to Zin : and the going forth thereof snail 
 be from the south e to Kadesh-barnea, and 
 shall go on to ^Hazar-addar, and pass on 
 to Azmon : 
 
 5 And the border shall fetch a compass 
 from Azmon f to the Horrent of Egypt, and 
 the goings out of it shall be at the sea. 
 
 6 And as for the western border, ye shall 
 even have the great sea for a border : this 
 shall be your west border. 
 
 7 And this shall be your north border:

 of Israel, saying, p This is the land which 
 ye shall inherit by lot, which Jehovah 
 commanded to give to the nine tribes, and 
 to the half tribe : 
 
 14 'For the tribe of the children of Reu- 
 ben, according to the house of their fathers, 
 and the tribe of the children of Gad ac- 
 cording to the house of their fathers, have 
 received their inheritance; and half the 
 tribe of Manasseh have received their in- 
 heritance : 
 
 15 The two tribes and the half-tribe have 
 received their inheritance on this side Jor- 
 dan near Jericho eastward, toward the 
 sun-rising. 
 
 16 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 
 
 17 These are the names of the men who 
 shall divide the land to you : r Eleazar the 
 priest, and Joshua the son of Nun. 
 
 18 And ye shall take one 'prince of I0 each 
 tribe, to divide the land by inheritance. 
 
 19 And the names of the men are these : 
 Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Je- 
 phunneh. 
 
 20 And of the tribe of the children of 
 Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud. 
 
 21 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the 
 son of Chislon. 
 
 22 And the prince of the tribe of the 
 children of Dan, Bukki the son of Jogli. 
 
 23 The prince of the children of Joseph, 
 for the tribe of the children of Manasseh, 
 Hanniel the son of Ephod. 
 
 24 And the prince of the tribe of the 
 children of Ephraim, Kemuel the son of 
 Shiphtan. 
 
 25 And the prince of the tribe of the 
 children of Zebulun, Elizaphan the sot 
 of Parnach. 
 
 26 And the prince of the tribe of the 
 of Issachar, Paltiel the son of 
 
 children 
 Azzan. 
 
 27 And 
 children 
 Shelomi. 
 
 28 And 
 
 the prince of the tribe 
 of Asher, Ahihud the 
 
 of the 
 of 
 
 son 
 
 the prince of the tribe of the 
 children of Naphtali, Pedahel the son of 
 Ammihud. 
 
 29 These are they whom Jehovah com- 
 manded to divide the inheritance to the 
 children of Israel in the land of Canaan.

Tlie cities of the Levites. 
 
 to be cities of refuge. 9 The laws of murder. 
 31 No satisfaction for murder. 
 
 AND Jehovah spoke to Moses in the 
 plains of Moab by Jordan near Jeri- 
 cho, saying, 
 
 2 "Command the children of Israel, that 
 they give to the Levites of the inheritance 
 of their possession cities to dwell in ; and 
 ye shall give also to the Levites suburbs 
 for the cities round about them. 
 
 3 And the cities shall they have to dwell 
 in ; and the suburbs of them shall be for 
 their cattle, and for their goods, and for 
 all their beasts. 
 
 4 And the suburbs of the cities which ye 
 shall give to the Levites, shall reach from 
 the wall of the city and outward a thou- 
 sand cubits round about. 
 
 5 And ye shall measure from without the 
 city on the east side two thousand cubits, 
 and on the south side two thousand cubits, 
 and on the west side two thousand cubits, 
 and on the north side two thousand cubits ; 
 and the city shall be in the midst: this 
 shall be to them the suburbs of the cities. 
 
 6 And among the cities which ye shall 
 give to the Levites there shall be fc six cities 
 for refuge, which ye shall appoint for the 
 manslayer, that he may flee thither : and 
 tto them ye shall add forty and two cities. 
 
 7 So all the cities which ye shall give to 
 the Levites shall be 'forty and eight cities : 
 them shall ye give with their suburbs. 
 
 8 And the cities which ye shall give shall 
 be d of the possession of the children of Is- 
 rael : "from them that have many ye shall 
 give many; but from them that have few 
 
 Ee shall give few : every one shall give of 
 _ is cities to the Levites according to his 
 inheritance which the inheriteth. 
 9 % And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 
 
 10 Speak to the children of Israel, and 
 say to them, '"When ye 'are come over 
 Jordan into the land of Canaan; 
 
 11 Then *ye shall 2 select you convenient 
 cities to be cities of refuge for you ; that 
 the slayer may flee thither, who killeth 
 any person t 3 without design. 
 
 12 ''And they shall be to you cities for 
 refuge from the avenger; that the man- 
 slayer die not, until he stand before the 
 congregation in judgment. 
 
 13 And of these cities which ye shall 
 give, 'six cities shall ye have for refuge. 
 
 14 *Ye shall give three cities on this side 
 ' of Jordan, and three cities shall ye give 
 in the land of Canaan, which shall be cities 
 of refuge. 
 
 15 These six cities shall be a refuge, both 
 for the children of Israel, and 'for the 
 stranger, and for the sojourner among 
 them : that every one that killeth any 
 person 4 without design may flee thither. 
 
 16 m And if he smite him with an instru- 
 ment of iron, so that he die, he is a mur- 
 derer: the murderer shall surely be put 
 to death. 
 
 17 And if he smite him twith throwing 
 a stone, wherewith he may die, and he 
 die, he is a murderer : the murderer shall 
 surely be put to death. 
 
 18 Or if he smite him with a hand-weapon 
 of wood, wherewith he may die, and he 
 die, he is a murderer : the murderer shall

 21 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 
 8 avenger of blood shall slay the murderer, 
 when he meeteth him. 
 
 22 But if he thurst him suddenly «with- 
 out enmity, or have 9 let fall upon him any 
 thing without lying in wait, 
 
 23 Or with any stone, wherewith a man 
 may die, seeing him not, and cast it upon 
 him, that he die, and was not his enemy, 
 neither sought his harm : 
 
 24 Then 'the congregation shall judge 
 between the slayer and the "avenger of

 25 And the congregation shall deliver the 
 slayer out of the hand of the "avenger of

 him to the city of nis refuge, whither he 
 had fled : and a he shall abide in it to the 
 death of the high priest, 'who was anointed

 28 Because he should have remained in 
 the city of his refuge until the death of the 
 high priest : but after the death of the high 
 priest the slayer shall return into the land 
 of his possession. 
 
 29 So these things shall be for Kl6 an ordi- 
 nance of judgment to you throughout your 
 generations in all your dwellings. 
 
 30 " Whoever killeth any person, the 
 murderer shall be put to death by the 
 *mouth of witnesses: but one witness 
 shall not testify against any person to cause 
 him to die. 
 
 31 Moreover, ye shall take no ,8 ransom 
 for the life of a murderer, who is t "worthy 
 of death : but he shall be surely put to 
 death. 
 
 32 And ye shall take no 20 ransom for him 
 that is fled to the city of his refuge, that 
 he should come again to dwell in the land, 
 until the death of the priest. 
 
 33 So ye shall not pollute the land where- 
 in ye are : for blood "it defileth the land : 
 and tthe land cannot be cleansed of the 
 blood that is shed therein, but 'by the blood 
 of him that shed it. 
 
 34 "Defile not therefore the land which 
 ye shall inhabit, wherein I dwell : for *I 
 Jehovah dwell among the children of Is- 
 rael. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXVI. 
 
 1 The inconvenience of the inheritance of daughters 
 5 is remedied by marrying in their own tribes, 7 
 lest the inheritance should be removed from the 
 tribe. 10 The daughters of Zelophehad marry 
 their father's brothers' sons. 
 
 AND the chief fathers of the families of 
 the "children of Gilead, the son of 
 Machir the son of Manasseh, of the families 
 of the sons of Joseph, came near, and spoke 
 before Moses, and before the princes, the 
 chief fathers of the children of Israel : 
 
Of the marriage of heiresses. 
 
 2 And they said, 'Jehovah commanded 
 my lord to give the land for an inheritance 
 by lot to the children of Israel : and 'my 
 lord was commanded by Jehovah to give 
 the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother 
 to his daughters. 
 
 3 And if they be married to any of the 
 sons of the other tribes of the children of 
 Israel, then 'will their inheritance be taken 
 from the inheritance of our fathers, and 
 2 will be put to the inheritance of the tribe 
 twhereunto they are received : so 3 will it 
 be taken from the lot of our inheritance 
 
 4 And when ''the jubilee of the children 
 of Israel shall be, then *will their inherit 
 ance be put to the inheritance of the tribe 
 whereunto they are received : so "will their 
 inheritance be taken away from the in 
 heritance of the tribe of our fathers. 
 
 5 And Moses commanded the children 
 of Israel according to the word of Jeho 
 vah, saying, The tribe of the sons of Jo 
 seph "hath said well. 
 
 6 This is the thing which Jehovah doth 
 command concerning the daughters of 
 Zelophehad, saying, Let them fmarry to 
 whom they think best ; 'only to the family 
 of the tribe of their father shall they marry.

 Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad : 
 
 11 'For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and 
 Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Ze- 
 lophehad, were married to their father's 
 brothers' sons : 
 
 12 Jlndthey were married tinto the fami- 
 lies of the sons of Manasseh the son of 
 Joseph, and their inheritance remained in 
 the tribe of the family of their father. 
 
 IS These are the commandments and the 
 judgments, which Jehovah commanded 
 by the hand of Moses to the children of 
 Israel *in the plains of Moab by Jordan 
 near Jericho. 
 
 THE FIFTH BOOK OF MOSES, CALLED DEUTERONOMY. 
 
 CHAPTER I. 
 
 1 Moses' speech in the end of the fortieth year, briefly 
 rehearsing the story 6 of God's promise, 13 of 
 giving them officers, 19 of sending the spies to 
 search the land, 34 of God's anger for their in- 
 credulity, 41 and disobedience. 
 
 THESE l are the words which Moses 
 spoke to all Israel "on this side Jor- 
 dan in the "desert, in the plain over against 
 8 Suph, between Paran, and Tophel, and 
 Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab. 
 
 2 (There are eleven days' - journey from 
 Horeb by the way of mount Seir no Ka- 
 desh-barnea.) 
 
 3 And it came to pass *in the fortieth 
 year, in the eleventh month, on the first 
 day of the month, that Moses spoke to the 
 children of Israel, according to all that 
 Jehovah had given him in commandment 
 to them ; 
 
 4 ''After he had slain Sihon the king of 
 the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, and 
 Ogthe king of Bashan, who dwelt at As- 
 taroth *in Edrei : 
 
 5 On this side ' of Jordan, in the land of 
 Moab, began Moses to declare this law, 
 saying, 
 
 6 Jehovah our God spoke to us'in Horeb, 
 saying, Ye have dwelt long ^enough in this 
 mount : 
 
 7 Turn you, and take your journey, and 
 go to the mount of the Amorites, and to 
 Tall the places nigh thereto, in the plain, in 
 the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, 
 and by the sea- 4 shore, to the land of the 
 Cannanites, and to Lebanon, to the great 
 river, the river Euphrates. 
 
 8 Behold, I have tset the land before 
 
 Jou : go in and possess the land which 
 ehovah swore to your fathers, A Abraham, 
 Isaac, and Jacob, to give to them and to 
 their seed after them.

 9 If And 'I spoke to you at that time, say- 
 ing, I am not able to bear you myself alone : 
 
 10 Jehovah your God hath multiplied 
 you, and behold, *y e ar . e this day as the 
 stars of heaven for multitude. 
 
 11 ('Jehovah God of your fathers make 
 you a thousand times s more than ye are, 
 and bless you, m as he hath promised you !) 
 
 12 "How can I myself alone bear your 
 cumbrance, and your burden, and your 
 strife ? 
 
 13 °t 6 Appoint you wise men, and under- 
 standing, and known among your tribes, 
 and I will make them rulers over you. 
 
 14 And ye answered me, and said, The 
 thing which thou hast spoken is good for 
 us to do. 
 
 15 So I took the chief of your tribes, 
 wise men, and known, *and fmade them 
 heads over you, captains over thousands, 
 and captains over hundreds, and captains 
 over fifties, and captains over tens, and 
 officers among your tribes. 
 
 16 And I charged your judges at that 
 time, saying, Hear the causes between 
 your brethren, and 'judge righteously be- 
 tween ''each man and his 'brother, and the 
 stranger that is with him. 
 
 \7 'Ye shall not trespect persons in judg- 
 ment ; but ye shall hear the small as well 
 as the great ; ye shall not be afraid of the 
 face of man; for 'the judgment is God's: 
 and the cause that is too hard for you, 
 "bring it to me, and I will hear it. 
 
 18 And I commanded you at that time 
 all the things which ye should do. 
 
 19 If And when we departed from Horeb, 
 'we went through all that great and terri; 
 ble "desert, which ye saw by the way of 
 the mountain of the Amorites, as Jehovah 
 our God 'had' commanded us; and "we 
 
 I came to Kadesh-barnea.

The story of what befell Israel 
 
 DEUTERONOMY. 
 
 20 And I said to you. Ye are come to the 
 mountain of the Amorites, which Jehovah 
 our God doth give to us. 
 
 21 Behold, Jehovah thy God hath set the 
 land before thee : go up and possess it, as 
 Jehovah God of thy fathers hath said to 
 thee; *fear not, neither be discouraged. 
 
 22 If And ye came near to me every one of 
 you, and said, We will send men before us, 
 and they shall search us out the land, and 
 bring us word again by what way we must 
 go up, and into what cities we shall come. 
 
 23 And the saying pleased me well : and 
 °1 took twelve men of you, one of a tribe : 
 
 24 And 'they 'turned and went up into 
 the mountain, and came to the 9 brook of 
 Eshcol, and searched it out. 
 
 25 And they took ' some' of the fruit of 
 the land in their hands, and brought it 
 down to us, and brought us word again, 
 and said, c Jt is a good land which Jehovah 
 our God doth give us. 
 
 26 ^Notwithstanding, ye would not go up, 
 but rebelled against the commandment of 
 Jehovah your God : 
 
 27 And ye murmured in your tents, and 
 said, Because Jehovah e hated us, he hath 
 brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, 
 to deliver us into the hand of the Amo- 
 rites, to destroy us. 
 
 28 Whither shall we go up ? our brethren 
 have tdiscouraged our heart, saying, -The 
 people are greater and taller than we ; the 
 cities are great and '"fortified up to heaven ; 
 and moreover, we have seen the sons of 
 the e Anakims there. 
 
 29 Then I said to you, Dread not, neither 
 be afraid of them. 
 
 30 ''Jehovah your God who goeth before 
 you, he shall fight for you, according to all 
 that he did for you in Egypt before your 
 eyes; 
 
 31 And in the "desert, where thou hast 
 seen how Jehovah thy God '"bore thee, as 
 a man doth bear his son, in all the way 
 that ye went, until ye came into this place. 
 
 32 Yet in this thing *y e did not believe 
 Jehovah your God, 
 
 33 'Who went in the way before you, m to 
 search you out a place to pitch your tents 
 in, in ' the' fire by night, to shew you by 
 what way ye should go, and in a cloud by 
 day. 
 
 34 And Jehovah heard the voice of your 
 words, and was ^angry, "and swore, saying, 
 
 35 "Surely there shall not one of these 
 men of this evil generation see that good 
 land, which I swore to give to your fathers, 
 
 36 '""Excepting Caleb the son of Jephun- 
 neh ; he shall see it, and to him will I give 
 the land that he hath trodden upon, ana to 
 his children, because «he hath twholly fol- 
 lowed Jehovah. 
 
 37 'Also Jehovah was "displeased with 
 me, for your sakes, saying, Thou also shalt 
 not go in thither. 
 
 38 'But Joshua the son of Nun, 'who 
 standeth before thee, he shall go in thither. 
 uls Encourage him: for he shall cause Is- 
 rael to inherit it. 
 
 39 'Moreover, your little ones, I8 that y ye 
 said would be a prey, and your children, 
 who in that day *had no knowledge be- 
 tween good and evil, they shall go in 
 thither, and to them will I give it, and 
 they shall possess it.

 41 Then ye answered and said to me, 
 'We have sinned against Jehovah, we will 
 go up and fight, according to all that Je- 
 hovah our God commanded us. And when 
 ye had girded on 18 each man his weapons 
 of war, ye 19 made light of going up into the 
 ""mountain. 
 
 42 And Jehovah said to me, Say to them, 
 'Go not up, neither fight; for I am not 
 among you ; lest ye be smitten before your 
 enemies. 
 
 43 So I spoke to you ; and ye would not 
 hear, but rebelled against the command- 
 ment of Jehovah, and fwent presumptu- 
 ously up into the "'mountain. 
 
 44 And the Amorites, who dwelt in that 
 mountain, came out against you, and chased 
 you, e as bees do, and destroyed you in Seir, 
 even to Hormah. 
 
 45 And ye returned and wept before Je- 
 hovah; but Jehovah would not hearken 
 to your voice, nor give ear to you. 
 
 46 'So ye abode in Kadesh many days, 
 according to the days that ye abode there.- 
 
 CHAPTER II. 
 
 1 The story is continued, that they were not to meddle 
 with the Edomites, 9 nor with the Moabites, 17 nor 
 with the Ammonites, 24 but Silwn the Amorite was 
 subdued by them. 
 
 THEN we turned, and took our journey 
 into the Vlesert by the way of the Red 
 sea, "as Jehovah spoke to me : and we 
 compassed mount Seir many days. 
 
 2 And Jehovah spoke to me, saying, 
 
 3 Ye have encompassed this mountain 
 'long enough : turn you northward. 
 
 4 And command thou the people, saying, 
 c Ye are to pass through the "border of your 
 brethren the children of Esau, who dwell 
 in Seir ; and they shall be afraid of you : 
 take ye good heed to yourselves therefore : 
 
 5 3 Contend not with them; for I will not 
 give you of their land, tno, not so much as 
 a foot- 4 track ; ''because I have given mount 
 Seir to Esau for a possession. 
 
 6 Ye shall buy 5 food of them for money, 
 that ye may eat; and ye shall also buy 
 water of them for money, that ye may drink. 
 
 7 For Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee 
 in all the works of thy hand : he knoweth 
 thy walking through this great "desert: 
 these forty years Jehovah thy God hath 
 been with thee : thou hast lacked nothing. 
 
 8 'And when we passed by from our breth- 
 ren the children of Esau, who dwelt in Seir, 
 through the way of the plain from g Elath, 
 and from Ezion-gaber, we turned and pass- 
 ed by the way of the 'desert of Moab. 
 
 9 And Jehovah said to me, ||Distress not 
 the Moabites, neither contend with them 
 in battle : for I will not give thee of their 
 land for a possession ; because I have given 
 *Ar to 'the children of Lot for a possession. 
 
 10 (*The Emims dwelt therein in times 
 past, a people great, and many, and tall as 
 'the Anakims ; 
 
 11 Who also were accounted giants, as 
 the Anakims ; but the Moabites call them 
 Emims. 
 
 12 "The Horims also dwelt in Seir 
 formerly, but the children of Esau tsuc- 
 ceeded them, when they had destroyed 
 them from before them, and dwelt in their 
 
Sihon the Amorite subdued. 
 
 Ijstead; as Israel did to the land of his 
 possession, which Jehovah gave to them.) 
 
 13 Now rise up, said I, and 9 go ye over 
 "the ||brook Zered : and we went over the 
 brook Zered. 
 
 14 And the space in which we came "from 
 Kadesh-barnea, until we were come over 
 the brook Zered, was thirty and eight 
 years; 'until all 10 the generation of the 
 men of war were wasted out from among 
 the host, *as Jehovah swore to them. 
 
 15 For indeed the 'hand of Jehovah was 
 against them, to destroy them from among 
 the host, until they were consumed. 
 
 16 If So it came to pass, when all the men 
 of war were consumed and dead from 
 among the people, 
 
 17 That Jehovah spoke to me, saying, 
 
 18 Thou art to pass over through Ar, the 
 "border of Moab, this day : 
 
 19 And when thou comest nigh over 
 against the children of Ammon, distress 
 them not, nor 12 contend with them : for I 
 will not give thee ' any' of the land of the 
 children of Ammon 13 as a possession ; be- 
 cause I have given it to 'the children of 
 Lot for a possession. 
 
 20 (That also was accounted a land of 
 giants : giants dwelt therein "formerly; and 
 the Ammonites call them 'Zamzummims; 
 
 21 "A people great, and many, and tall as 
 the Anakims ; but Jehovah destroyed them 
 before them; and they succeeded them, 
 and dwelt in their stead : 
 
 22 As he did to the children of Esau, 
 *who dwelt in Seir, when he destroyed 
 s'the Horims from before them ; and they 
 succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead 
 even to this day : 
 
 23 And *the Avims who dwelt in Haze- 
 rim, even to ° 15 Gaza, 'the Caphtorims, who 
 came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, 
 and dwelt in their stead.) 
 
 24 f Rise ye up, take your journey, and 
 'pass over the river Arnon: behold, I have 
 
 fiven into thy hand Sihon the Amorite, 
 ing of Heshbon, and his land : tbegin to 
 possess it, and contend with him in battle. 
 
 25 "This day will I begin to put the dread 
 of thee and the fear of thee upon the na- 
 tions that are under the whole heaven, 
 who shall hear report of thee, and shall 
 tremble, and be m anguish because of 
 thee. 
 
 26 H And I sent messengers out of the 
 16 desert of Kedemoth to Sihon king of 
 Heshbon 'with words of peace, saying, 
 
 27 ■''Let me pass through thy land: I will 
 go along by the highway, I will neither 
 turn to the right hand nor to the left. 
 
 28 Thou shalt sell me "food for money, 
 that I may eat; and give me water for 
 money, that I may drink: ? only I will pass 
 through on my feet ; 
 
 29 ('As the children of Esau who dwell 
 in Seir, and the Moabites who dwell in 
 Ar, did to me;) until I shall ^have passed 
 over Jordan into the land which Jehovah 
 our God giveth us. 
 
 30 'But Sihon king of Heshbon would not 
 let us pass by him : for 'Jehovah thy God 
 'hardened his spirit, and made his heart 
 obstinate, that he might deliver him into 
 thy hand, as appeareth this day. 
 
 31 And Jehovah said to me, Behold, I 
 have begun to ""give Sihon and his land

 to Bashan : and tt 0g the king of Ba- 
 shan came out against us, he and all his 
 people, to battle 6 at Edrei. 
 
 2 And Jehovah said to me, Fear him not; 
 for I will deliver him, and all his people, 
 and his land, into thy hand; and thou shalt 
 do to him as thou didst to 'Sihon king of 
 the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon. 
 
 3 So Jehovah our God delivered into our 
 hands Og also the king of Bashan, and all 
 his people : d and we smote him until none 
 was left to him remaining. 
 
 4 And we took all his cities at that time, 
 there was not a city which we took not 
 from them, threescore cities, 'all the region 
 of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan. 
 
 5 All these cities were 'fortified with high 
 walls, gates, and bars; besides un walled 
 towns a great many. 
 
 6 And we utterly destroyed them, as we 
 did to Sihon king J"of Heshbon, utterly 
 destroying the men, women, and children 
 of every city. 
 
 7 But all the cattle, and the spoil of the 
 cities, we took for a prey to ourselves. 
 
 8 And we took at that time out of the 
 hand of the two kings of the Amorites the 
 land that was on this side ' of Jordan, from 
 the river of Arnon to Mount Hermon ; 
 
 9 (Which g Hermon the Sidonians pall 
 Sirion ; and the Amorites call it * z Senir;) 
 
 10 'All the cities of the plain, and all 
 Gilead, and *all Bashan, to Salchah and 
 Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Ba- 
 shan. 
 
 11 'For only Og king of Bashan remained 
 of the remnant of ""giants ; behold, his bed- 
 stead was a bedstead of iron ; is it not in 
 "Rabbah of the children of Ammon ? nine 
 cubits was the length thereof, and four 
 cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of 
 a man. 
 
 12 And this land, which we possessed at 
 that time, °from Aroer which is by the river 
 Arnon, and half mount Gilead, and nha 
 
 1SS 
 
Moses permitted to see the land. 
 
 cities thereof, gave I to the Reubenites and 
 to the Gadites. 
 
 13 'And the rest of Gilead, and all Ba- 
 shan, being the kingdom of Og, gave I to 
 the half-tribe of Manasseh : all the region 
 of Argob, with all Bashan, which was called 
 the land of giants. 
 
 14 'Jair the son of Manasseh took all 
 the country of Argob, ^to the "borders of 
 Geshuri, and Maachathi; and 'called them 
 after his own name, Bashan-havoth-jair, to 
 this day. 
 
 15 "And I gave Gilead to Machir. 
 
 16 And to the Reubenites ""and to the 
 Gadites I gave from Gilead even to the 
 river Anion, half the valley, and the bor- 
 der, even to the river Jabbok, x which is 
 the border of the children of Ammon : 
 
 17 The plain also, and Jordan, and the 
 4 border thereof, from "Kinnereth 'even to 
 the sea of the plain, a even the salt sea, 
 ||under the springs of Pisgah. 
 
 18 ^ And I commanded you at that time, 
 Baying, Jehovah your God hath given you 
 this land to possess it ; *ve shall pass over 
 armed before your brethren the children 
 of Israel, all that are t 5 mighty for the war. 
 
 19 But your wives, and your little ones, 
 and your cattle, {for I know that ye have 
 •many cattle,) shall abide in your cities 
 which I have given you ; 
 
 20 Until Jehovah 'shall' have given 
 rest to your brethren, as well as to you, 
 and until they also 7 shall have possessed 
 the land which Jehovah your God hath 
 given them beyond Jordan : and then shall 
 ye 'return every man to his possession 
 which I have given you. 
 
 21 If And d l commanded Joshua at that 
 time, saying, Thine eyes have seen all that 
 Jehovah your God hath done to these two 
 kings: so 8 will Jehovah do to all the king- 
 doms whither thou passest. 
 
 22 Ye shall not fear them : for 'Jehovah 
 your God he 9 will fight for you. 
 
 23 And f I besought Jehovah at that time, 
 saying, 
 
 24 O Lord Jehovah, thou hast begun to 
 shew thy servant ? thy greatness, and thy 
 mighty hand: for ''what God is there in 
 heaven or in earth, that can do according 
 to thy works, and according to thy might? 
 
 25 I pray thee, let me go over, and see 
 •the good land that is beyond Jordan, that 
 goodly mountain, and Lebanon. 
 
 26 But Jehovah *was 10 angry with me for 
 
 Jour sakes, and would not hear me : and 
 ehovah said to me, Let it suffice thee ; 
 speak no more to me of this matter. 
 
 27 !U Go thou up to the top of HPisgah, and 
 lift up thine eyes westward, and north- 
 ward, and southward, and eastward, and 
 behold it with thine eyes : for thou shalt 
 not go over this Jordan. 
 
 28 But "charge Joshua, and encourage 
 him, and strengthen him : for he shall go 
 over before this people, and he shall cause 
 them to inherit the land which thou shalt 
 see. 
 
 29 So we abode in "the valley over against 
 Beth-peor.

 which I teach you, 2 to do them, that ye 
 may live, and go in and possess the land 
 which Jehovah God of your fathers giveth 
 you. 
 
 2 "Ye shall not add to the word which I 
 command you, neither shall ye diminish 
 3 any thing from it, that ye may keep the 
 commandments of Jehovah your God 
 which I command you. 
 
 3 Your eyes have seen what Jehovah 
 did because of 'Baal-peor : for all the men 
 that followed Baal-peor, Jehovah thy God 
 hath destroyed them from among you. 
 
 4 But ye that did cleave to Jehovah your 
 God, are alive every one of you this day. 
 
 5 Behold, I have taught you Ordinances, 
 and judgments, even as Jehovah my God 
 commanded me, that ye should do so in 
 the land whither ye go to possess it. 
 
 6 Keep therefore and do them : for this is 
 'Vour wisdom and your understanding in 
 the sight of the nations, which shall near 
 all these 'ordinances, and say, Surely this 
 great nation is a wise and understanding 
 people. 
 
 7 For 'what nation is there so great, who 
 hath {God so nigh to them, as Jehovah our 
 God is in all things that we call upon him 
 for? 
 
 8 And what nation is there so great, that 
 hath 6 ordinam es and judgments as right- 
 eous as all this law, which I set before you 
 this day? 
 
 9 Only take heed to thyself, and *keep 
 'thyself diligently, *lest thou forget the 
 things which thine eyes have seen, and 
 lest they depart from thy heart all the days 
 of thy life : but 'teach them ■ to' thy sons, 
 and ' to' thy sons' sons : 
 
 10 ^Especially 'the day when thou didst 
 stand before Jehovah thy God in Horeb, 
 when Jehovah said to me, Gather me the 
 people together, and I will make them hear 
 my words, that they may learn to fear me 
 all the days "which they shall live upon 
 the earth, and that they may teach their 
 children. 
 
 11 And ye came near and stood under 
 the mountain ; and the 'mountain burned 
 with fire to the t midst of heaven, with 
 darkness, clouds, and thick darkness. 
 
 12 m And Jehovah spoke to you out of 
 the midst of the fire : "ye heard the voice 
 of the words, but saw no '"similitude ; "tonly 
 ye heard a voice. 
 
 13 'And he declared to you his covenant, 
 which he commanded you to perform, even 
 9 "ten commandments ; and r he wrote them 
 upon two tables of stone. 
 
 14 If And 'Jehovah commanded me at 
 that time to teach you ^ordinances and 
 judgments, that ye might do them in the 
 land whither ye go over to possess it. 
 
 15 'Take ye therefore good heed to your- 
 selves; (for ye saw no 13 "similitude on 
 the day u when Jehovah spoke to you in 
 Horeb out of the midst of the fire ;) 
 
 16 Lest ye ^corrupt yourselves, and "make 
 you a graven image, the "similitude of any 
 figure, *the "likeness of male or female. 
 
 17 The likeness of any beast that is on 
 the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl 
 that flieth in the air, 
 
 18 The likeness of any thing that creep- 
 eth on the ground, the likeness of any fish 
 that is in the waters "under the earth : 
 
God's special regard 
 
 19 And lest thou "lift up thine eyes to 
 heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and 
 the moon, and the stars, even 'all the host 
 of heaven, shouldest be 18 seduced to 'wor- 
 ship them, and serve them, which Jehovah 
 thy God hath ||divided to all nations under 
 the whole heaven. 
 
 20 But Jehovah hath taken you, and 
 ''brought you forth out of the iron furnace, 
 even out of Egypt, 'to be to him a people 
 of inheritance, as ye are this day. 
 
 21 Furthermore, 'Jehovah was angry 
 with me for your sakes, and swore that I 
 should not go over Jordan, and that I 
 should not go in to that good land which 
 Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an in- 
 heritance : 
 
 22 But e l must die in this land, *I must 
 not go over Jordan : but ye shall go over, 
 and possess 'that good land. 
 
 23 Take heed to yourselves, 'lest ye for- 
 get the covenant of Jehovah your God, 
 which he made with you, 'and make you a 
 graven image, 19 the likeness of any thing 
 which Jehovah thy God hath forbidden 
 thee. 
 
 24 For "Jehovah thy God is a consuming 
 fire, even "a jealous God. 
 
 25 If When thou shalt beget children, and 
 children's children, and ye shall have re- 
 mained long in the land, and "shall corrupt 
 yourselves, and make a graven image, 20 
 the likeness of any thing, and p shall do 
 evil in the sight of Jehovah thy God, to 
 provoke him to anger ; 
 
 26 «I call heaven and earth to witness 
 against you this day, that ye shall soon ut- 
 terly perish from oft' the land whereunto 
 ye go over Jordan to possess it : ye shall 
 not prolong your days upon it, but shall 
 utterly be destroyed. 
 
 27 And Jehovah 'shall scatter you among 
 the nations, and ye shall be left few in 
 number among the heathen, whither Je- 
 hovah shall lead you. 
 
 28 And 'there ye shall serve gods, the 
 work of men's hands, wood and stone, 
 'which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor 
 smell. 
 
 29 "But if from thence thou shalt seek 
 Jehovah thy God, thou shalt find him, if 
 thou seek him with all thy heart, and with 
 all thy soul. 
 
 30 When thou art in tribulation, and all 
 these things tare come upon thee, z even in 
 the latter days, if thou "turn to Jehovah 
 thy God, and shalt be obedient to his voice ; 
 
 31 (For Jehovah thy God is *a merciful 
 God;) he will not forsake thee, neither 
 destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of 
 thy fathers, which he swore to them. 
 
 32 For "ask now of the days that are past, 
 which were before thee, since the day that 
 God created man upon the earth, and ask 
 'from the one side of heaven to the other, 
 whether there hath been any such thing as 
 this great thing is, or hath been heard like 
 it? 
 
 33 'Did people ' ever' hear the voice of 
 God speaking out of the midst of the fire, 
 as thou hast heard, and live ? 
 
 34 Or hath God assayed to go and take 
 him a nation from the midst of another 
 nation, ''by "trials, 'by signs, and by won- 
 ders, and by war, and 'by a mighty hand, 
 and 'by a stretched-out arm, 'and by great

 design, and hated him not in times past; 
 and that fleeing to one of these cities he 
 might live : 
 
 43 Namely, 'Bezer in the ^waste region, 
 in the plain country, of the Reubemtes ; 
 and Ramoth in Gilead, of the Gadites; 
 and Golan in Bashan, of the Manassites. 
 
 44 1 And this is the law which Moses 
 set before the children of Israel : 
 
 45 These are the testimonies, and the 
 ^ordinances, and the judgments, which 
 Moses spoke to the children of Israel, after 
 they came forth out of Egypt, 
 
 46 On this side ' of Jordan, "in the valley 
 over against Beth-peor, in the land of Si- 
 hon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at 
 Heshbon, whom Moses and the children 
 of Israel "smote, after they were come 
 forth out of Egypt : 
 
 47 And they possessed his land, and the 
 land ^of Og king of Bashan, two kings of 
 the Amorites, who were on this side ' of 
 Jordan, towards the sun-rising ; 
 
 48 z From Aroer, which is by the bank ot 
 the river Arnon, even to mount Sion, 
 which is "Hermon, 
 
 49 And all the plain on this side 'of 
 Jordan eastward, even to the sea of the 
 plain, under the 'springs of Pisgah. 
 
 CHAPTER V. 
 
 1 The covenant in Horeb. 6 The ten commandments. 
 22 At the people's request Moses receiveth the law 
 from God. 
 
 AND Moses called all Israel, and said 
 to them, Hear, O Israel, the 'ordi- 
 nances and judgments which I speak in 
 your 2 hearing this day, that ye may learn 
 them, and tkeep, and do them. 
 
 2 "Jehovah our God made a covenant 
 with us in Horeb. . 
 
 3 Jehovah *made not this covenant with 
 
 135 
 
The ten commandments. 
 
 our fathers, but with us, even us, who are 
 all of us here alive this day. 
 
 4 'Jehovah talked with you face to face 
 in the mount, out of the midst of the fire, 
 
 5 ( d I stood between Jehovah and you at 
 that time, to shew you the word of Jeho- 
 vah : for 'ye were afraid by reason of the 
 fire, and went not up into the mount,) saying, 
 
 6 ^ /I am Jehovah thy God, who brought 
 thee out of the land of Egypt, from the 
 house of tbondmen. 
 
 7 *Thou shalt have 3 no other gods before 
 me. 
 
 8 Thou shalt not make thee any graven 
 image, or any likeness of any thing that is 
 in heaven above, or that is in the earth be- 
 neath, or that is in the waters Hinder the 
 earth : 
 
 9 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to 
 them, nor serve them : for I Jehovah thy 
 God am a jealous God, "Visiting the iniqui- 
 ty of the fathers upon the children to the 
 third and fourth generation of them that 
 hate me, 
 
 10 'And shewing mercy to thousands of 
 them that love me, and keep my com- 
 mandments. 
 
 11 "Thou shalt not take the name of Je- 
 hovah thy God in vain : for Jehovah will 
 not hold him guiltless that taketh his name 
 in vain. 
 
 12 "Keep the sabbath-day to 9 hallow it, 
 as Jehovah thy God hath commanded thee. 
 
 13 "Six days thou shalt labour, and do all 
 thy work ; 
 
 14 But the seventh day is the "sabbath of 
 Jehovah thy God : in it thou shalt not do 
 any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daugh- 
 ter, nor thy man-servant, nor thy maid- 
 servant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor 
 any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is 
 within thy gates; that thy man-servant 
 and thy maid-servant may rest as well as 
 thou. 
 
 15 *And remember that thou wast' a ser- 
 vant in the land of Egypt, and that Jeho- 
 vah thy God brought thee out 'from'' thence 
 'through a mighty hand and by a stretched- 
 out arm: therefore Jehovah thy God com- 
 manded thee to keep the sabbath -day. 
 
 16 If 'Honour thy father and thy mother, 
 as Jehovah thy God hath commanded thee; 
 •that thy days_ may be '"long, and that it 
 may go well with thee, in the land which 
 Jehovah thy God giveth thee. 
 
 17 'Thou shalt not kill. 
 
 18 "Neither shalt thou commit adultery. 
 
 19 ^Neither shalt thou steal. 
 
 20 "Neither shalt thou bear false "testi- 
 mony against thy neighbour. 
 
 21 'Neither shalt thou ,2 covet thy neigh- 
 bour's wife, neither shalt thou 13 long for thy 
 neighbour's house, his field, or his man- 
 servant, or his maid-servant, his ox, or his 
 ass, or any thing that is thy neighbour's. 
 
 22 If These words Jehovah spoke to 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 to me. 
 
 23 'And it came to pass, when ye heard 
 the voice out of the midst of the darkness, 
 (for the mountain did burn with fire,) that 
 ye came near to me, even all the heads of 
 your tribes, and your elders ;

 24 And ye said, Behold, Jehovah our 
 God hath shewed us his glory, and his 
 greatness, and 'we have heard his voice 
 out of the midst of the fire : we have seen 
 this day that God doth talk with man, and 
 he Giveth. 
 
 25 Now therefore why should we die? 
 for this great fire will consume us : 'if we 
 thear the voice of Jehovah our God any 
 more, then we shall die. 
 
 26 -Tor who is there o/all flesh that hath 
 heard the voice of the living God speaking 
 out of the midst of the fire, as we have, 
 and lived? 
 
 27 Go thou near, and hear all that Jeho- 
 vah our God shall say : and «speak thou to 
 us all that Jehovah our God shall speak to 
 thee ; and we will hear it, and do it. 
 
 28 And Jehovah heard the voice of your 
 words, when ye spoke to me; and Jeho- 
 vah said to me, I have heard the voice of 
 the words of this people, which they have 
 spoken to thee : "they have well said all 
 that they have spoken. 
 
 29 'O that there were such a heart in them, 
 that they would fear me, and *keep all my 
 commandments always, 'that it might be 
 well with them, and with their children 
 for ever ! 
 
 30 Go say to them, "Go ye into your tents 
 again. 
 
 31 But as for thee, stand thou here by 
 me, m and I will speak to thee all the com- 
 mandments, and the ''ordinances, and the 
 judgments, which thou shalt teach them, 
 that they may do them in the land which 
 I give them to possess it. 
 
 32 Ye shall observe to do therefore as 
 Jehovah your God hath commanded you : 
 "ye shall not turn aside to the right hand 
 or to the left. 
 
 33 Ye shall walk in "all the Ways which 
 Jehovah your God hath commanded you, 
 that ye may live, ? and that it may be well 
 with you, and that ye may prolong your 
 days in the land which ye shall possess. 
 
 CHAPTER VI. 
 
 1 The end of the law is obedience. 3 An exhortation 
 thereto. 
 
 NOW these are "the commandments, the 
 'ordinances, and the judgments which 
 Jehovah your God commanded to teach 
 you, that ye might do them in the land 
 whither ye tgo to possess it : 
 
 2 'That thou migntest fear Jehovah thy 
 God, to keep all his statutes and his com- 
 mandments which I command thee, thou, 
 and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days 
 of thy life ; 'and that thy days may be pro- 
 longed. 
 
 3 ^ Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe 
 to do it ; that it may be well with thee, 
 and that ye may increase mightily, d as Je- 
 hovah God of thy fathers hath promised 
 thee, in 'the land that floweth with milk 
 and honey. 
 
 4 ^Hear, O Israel : Jehovah our God is 
 one Jehovah : 
 
 5 And ? thou shalt love Jehovah thy God 
 "with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, 
 and with all thy might. 
 
 6 And 'these words which I commanded 
 thee this day, shall be in thy heart : 
 
 7 And *thou shalt tteach them diligently 
 to thy children, and shalt talk of them 
 
*(ln exhortation to obedience. 
 
 when thou sittest in thy house, and when 
 thou walkest by the way, and when thou 
 liest down, and when thou risest up. 
 
 8 'And thou shalt bind them for a sign 
 upon thy hand, and they shall be as front- 
 lets between thine eyes. 
 
 9 '"And thou shalt write them upon the 
 posts of thy house, and on thy gates. 
 
 10 And it shall be, when Jehovah thy 
 God shall have brought thee into the land 
 which he swore to thy fathers, to Abra- 
 ham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee 
 great and goodly cities, "which thou build- 
 edst not, 
 
 11 And houses full of all good things, 
 which thou filledst not, and 'cisterns hewn, 
 which thou 4 hewedst not, vineyards and 
 olive-trees, which thou plantedst not; 
 "when thou shalt have eaten and be full ; 
 
 12 Then beware lest thou forget Jehovah, 
 who brought thee forth out of the land of 
 Egypt, from the house of tbondage. 
 
 13 Thou shalt 'fear Jehovah thy God, 
 and serve him, and 'shalt swear by his 
 name. 
 
 14 Ye shall not r go after other gods, *of the 
 gods of the people who are round about you ; 
 
 15 (For 'Jehovah thy God is a jealous 
 God among you;) "lest the anger of Jeho- 
 vah thy God be kindled against thee, and 
 destroy thee from off' the face of the earth. 
 
 16 If *Ye shall not tempt Jehovah your 
 God, "as ye tempted him in Massah. 
 
 17 Ye shall ^diligently keep the command- 
 ments of Jehovah your God, and his testi- 
 monies, and his Ordinances, which he hath 
 commanded thee. 
 
 18 And thou "shalt do that which is right 
 and good in the sight of Jehovah : that it 
 may be well with thee, and that thou may- 
 est go in and possess the good land which 
 Jehovah swore to thy fathers, 
 
 19 'To cast out all thine enemies from 
 before thee, as Jehovah hath spoken. 
 
 20 And 'when thy son asketh thee tin 
 time to come, saying, What mean the 
 testimonies and the Ordinances, and the 
 judgments, which Jehovah our God hath 
 commanded you ? 
 
 21 Then thou shalt say to thy son, We 
 were Pharaoh's bond-men in Egypt; and 
 Jehovah brought us out of Egypt ''with a 
 mighty hand: 
 
 22 e And Jehovah shewed signs and won- 
 ders, great and fgrievous, upon Egypt, 
 upon Pharaoh, and upon all his household, 
 before our eyes : 
 
 23 And he brought us out from thence, 
 that he might bring us in, to give us the 
 land which he swore to our fathers. 
 
 24 And Jehovah commanded us to do 
 all these Ordinances, to fear Jehovah our 
 God, s for our good always, that A he might 
 preserve us alive, as it is at this day. 
 
 25 And 'it shall be our righteousness, if 
 we observe to do all these commandments 
 before Jehovah our God, as he hath com- 
 manded us. 
 
 CHAPTER VII. 
 
 1 All communion with the nations is forbidden, 4 for 
 fear of idolatry, 6 for the holiness of the people, 
 9 for the nature of God in his mercy and justice, 
 17 for the assuredness of victory which God will 
 give over them.

 8 But "because Jehovah loved you, and 
 because he would keep "the oath which he 
 had sworn to your fathers, p hath Jehovah 
 brought you out with a mighty hand, and 
 redeemed you out of the house of bond- 
 men, from the hand of Pharaoh king of 
 Egypt. 
 
 9 Know therefore that Jehovah thy God, 
 he is God, 'the faithful God, r who keepeth 
 covenant and mercy with them that love 
 him and keep his commandments to a 
 thousand generations ; 
 
 10 And "repayeth them that hate him to 
 their face, to destroy them : 'he will not be 
 slack to him that hateth him, he will repay 
 him to his face. 
 
 11 Thou shalt therefore keep the com- 
 mandments, and the Ordinances, and the 
 judgments, which I command thee this 
 day, to do them. 
 
 12 ^ "Wherefore it shall come to pass, 
 tif ye hearken to these judgments, and 
 keep, and do them, that Jehovah thy God 
 3 will keep to thee *the covenant and the 
 mercy which he swore to thy fathers : 
 
 13 And he will "love thee, and bless thee, 
 and multiply thee : *he will also bless the 
 fruit of thy 4 body, and the fruit of thy land, 
 thy corn, and thy 'new' wine, and 5 thy 
 fresh oil, the increase of thy Oows, and 
 the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which 
 he swore to thy fathers to give thee. 
 
 14 Thou shalt be blessed above all peo- 
 ple: "there shall not be male or female 
 barren among you, or among your cattle. 
 
 15 And Jehovah will take away from 
 thee all sickness, and will put none of the 
 ^evil diseases of Egypt which thou know- 
 est upon thee ; but will lay them upon all 
 ''those who hate thee. 
 
 16 And thou shalt consume all the peo- 
 ple whom Jehovah thy God shall deliver 
 
 to' thee; d thine eye shall have no pity 
 
 137 
 
An exhortation to obedience 
 
 upon them : neither shalt thou serve their 
 gods ; for that will be 'a. snare to thee. 
 
 17 If thou shalt say in thine heart, These 
 nations are more than I, how can I 'dis- 
 possess them ? 
 
 18 s Thou shalt not be afraid of them : but 
 shalt well ''remember what Jehovah thy 
 God did to Pharaoh, and to all Egypt; 
 
 19 'The great 8 trials which thine eyes 
 saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and 
 the mighty hand, and the stretched-out 
 arm, by which Jehovah thy God brought 
 thee out : so shall Jehovah thy God do to 
 all the people of whom thou art afraid 
 
 20 'Moreover, Jehovah thy God will send 
 the hornet among them, until they that are 
 left, and hide themselves from thee, be 
 destroyed. 
 
 21 Thou shalt not be affrighted at them : 
 for Jehovah thy God is 'among you, m a 
 mighty God and terrible. 
 
 22 "And Jehovah thy God will t 9 cast out 
 those nations before thee by little and little : 
 thou mayest not consume them at once, 
 lest the beasts of the field increase upon 
 thee. 
 
 23 But Jehovah thy God I0 will deliver 
 them tto thee, and shall destroy them with 
 a mighty destruction, until they "are de- 
 stroyed. 
 
 24 And "he shall deliver their kings into 
 thy hand, and thou shalt destroy their 
 name p from under heaven : 'there shall no 
 man be able to stand before thee, until 
 thou ' shalt' have destroyed them. 
 
 25 The graven images of their gods 'shall 
 ye burn with fire : thou 'shalt not 12 covet 
 the silver or gold that is on them, nor take 
 it to thee, lest thou be \ "ensnared therein : 
 for it is "an abomination to Jehovah thy 
 God. 
 
 26 Neither shalt thou bring an abomina- 
 tion into thy house, lest thou be a u cursed 
 thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest 
 it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it ; x for it 
 is a cursed thing. 
 
 CHAPTER VIII. 
 
 An exhortation to obedience in regard of God's deal- 
 ing with them. 
 
 ALL the 'commandments which I com- 
 mand thee this day "shall ye observe 
 to do, that ye may live, and multiply, 
 and go in and possess the land which Je- 
 hovah swore to your fathers. 
 1 2 And thou shalt remember all the way 
 which Jehovah thy God 'led thee these 
 forty years in the 2 desert, to humble thee, 
 ana to prove thee, d to know what was in 
 thy heart, whether thou wouldest keep his 
 commandments or 3 not. 
 
 3 And he humbled thee, and buffered 
 thee to hunger, and / fed thee with manna, 
 which thou knewest not, neither did thy 
 fathers know; that he might make thee 
 know that *man doth ? not live by bread 
 only, but by every word that proceedeth 
 out of the mouth of Jehovah doth man live. 
 
 4 *Thy raiment 5 became not old upon 
 thee, neither did thy foot swell these forty 
 years. 
 
 5 'Thou shalt also Consider in thy heart, 
 that as a man chasteneth his son, so Jeho- 
 vah thy God chasteneth thee. 
 
 6 Therefore thou shalt keep the com- 
 mandments of- Jehovah thy God, *to walk 
 in his ways, and to fear him.

 in regard of God's dealings with Israel. 
 
 7 For Jehovah thy God bringeth thee 
 into a good land, 'a land of brooks of water, 
 of fountains, and depths that spring out of 
 valleys and 'mountains ; 
 
 8 A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, 
 and fig-trees, and pomegranates, a land 
 tof oil-olive, and honey ; 
 
 9 A land wherein thou shalt eat bread 
 without scarceness, thou shalt not lack 
 any thing in it; a land "whose stones are 
 iron, and out of whose 8 mountains thou 
 mayest 9 dig l0 copper. 
 
 10 "When thou hast eaten and art full, 
 then thou shalt bless Jehovah thy God for 
 the good land which he hath given thee. 
 
 11 Beware that thou forget not Jehovah 
 thy God, in not keeping his commandments, 
 and his judgments, and his "ordinances, 
 which I command thee this day : 
 
 12 "Lest when thou hast eaten, and art 
 full, and hast built goodly houses, and 
 dwelt therein ; 
 
 13 And when thy herds and thy flocks 
 multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is 
 multiplied, and all that thou hast is mul- 
 tiplied ; 
 
 14 *Then thy heart be lifted up, and thou 
 'forget Jehovah thy God, who brought thee 
 forth out of the land of Egypt, from the 
 house of 12 bondmen ; 
 
 15 Who r led thee through that great and 
 terrible "desert, 'wherein were "burning 
 serpents, and scorpions, and ,5 parched land, 
 where there was no water : 'who brought 
 thee forth water out of the rock of flint ; 
 
 16 Who fed thee in the 16 desert with 
 "manna, which thy fathers knew not, that 
 he might humble thee, and that he might 
 prove thee, *to do thee good at thy latter 
 end : 
 
 17 y And thou say in thy heart, My power 
 and the might of my hand hath gotten me 
 this wealth. 
 
 18 But thou_ shalt remember Jehovah thy 
 God : z for it is he that giveth thee power 
 to get wealth, "that he may establish his 
 covenant which he swore to thy fathers, 
 as it is this day. 
 
 19 And it shall be, if thou do at all forget 
 Jehovah thy God, and walk after other 
 gods, and serve them, and worship them, 
 6 I testify against you this day that ye shall 
 surely perish. 
 
 20 As the nations which Jehovah destroy - 
 eth before your face, c so shall ye perish ; 
 because ye would not be obedient to the 
 voice of Jehovah your God. 
 
 CHAPTER IX. 
 
 Moses dissuadeth them from the opinion of their own 
 righteousness, by rehearsing their several rebel- 
 lions. 
 
 HEAR, O Israel : Thou art to "pass over 
 Jordan this day, to go in to possess 
 nations 'greater and mightier than thyself, 
 cities great and c 'fortified up to heaven, 
 
 2 A people great and tall, ''the children 
 of the Anakims, whom thou knowest, and 
 of whom thou hast heard Ht said, Who 
 can stand before the children of Anak ? 
 
 3 3 Know therefore this day, that Jehovah 
 thy God is he who 'goeth over before thee ; 
 as a-^consuming fire 5 he shall destroy them, 
 and he shall bring them down before thy 
 face: "so shalt thou drive them out, and 
 destroy them quickly, as Jehovah hath 
 said to thee. 
 
Moses rehearseth the 
 
 4 'Speak not thou in thy heart, after that 
 Jehovah thy God hath cast them out from 
 before thee, saying, For my righteousness 
 Jehovah hath brought me in to possess this 
 land : but *for the wickedness of these 
 nations Jehovah doth drive them out from 
 before thee. 
 
 5 'Not for thy righteousness, or for the 
 uprightness of thy heart dost thou go to 
 possess their land : but for the wickedness 
 of these nations, Jehovah thy God doth 
 drive them out from before thee, and that 
 he may ^establish m the word which Jeho- 
 vah swore to thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, 
 and Jacob. 
 
 6 5 Know therefore, that Jehovah thy God 
 giveth thee not this good land to possess it 
 tor thy righteousness ; for thou art "a stiff- 
 necked people. 
 
 7 If Remember, and forget not, how thou 
 provokedst Jehovah thy God 6 in the 'de- 
 sert ; "from the day that thou didst depart 
 out of the land of Egypt, until ye came to 
 this place, ye have been rebellious against 
 Jehovah. 
 
 8 Also *in Horeb ye provoked Jehovah 
 to wrath, so that Jehovah was angry with 
 you to have destroyed you. 
 
 9 'When I was gone up into the mount, 
 to receive the tables of stone, even the 
 tables of the covenant which Jehovah 
 made with you, then r I abode in the mount 
 forty days and forty nights, I neither did 
 eat bread, nor drink water : 
 
 10 'And Jehovah delivered to me two 
 tables of stone written with the finger of 
 God ; and on them was written according 
 to all the words which Jehovah spoke with 
 you in the mount, out of the midst of the 
 fire, *in the day of the assembly. 
 
 11 And it came to pass at the end of forty 
 days and forty nights, that Jehovah gave 
 me the two tables of stone, even the tables 
 of the covenant. 
 
 12 And Jehovah said to me, "Arise, 8 go 
 thou down quickly from hence; for thy 
 people which thou hast brought forth out 
 of Egypt have corrupted themselves ; they 
 are "quickly turned aside out of the way 
 which I commanded them ; they have made 
 them a molten image. 
 
 13 Furthermore, "Jehovah spoke to me, 
 saying, I have seen this people, and behold, 
 'it is a stiff-necked people. 
 
 14 "Let me alone, that I may destroy 
 them, and 'blot out their name from under 
 heaven : "and I will make of thee a nation 
 mightier and greater than they. 
 
 15 d So I turned and came down from the 
 mount, and 'the mount burned with fire : 
 and the two tables of the covenant were 
 in my two hands. 
 
 16 And f l looked, and behold, ye had 
 sinned against Jehovah your God, and had 
 made you a molten calf: ye had turned 
 aside quickly out of the way which Jeho- 
 vah had commanded you. 
 
 17 And I took the two tables, and cast 
 them out of my two hands, and broke them 
 before your eyes. 
 
 18 And I ? fell down before Jehovah, as 
 at 9 first, forty days and forty nights: I 
 did neither eat bread, nor drink water, 
 because of all your sins which ye sinned, 
 in doing wickedly in the sight or Jehovah, 
 to provoke him ,0 .

 21 And *I took your sin, the calf which 
 ye had made, and burnt it with fire, and 
 12 broke it, and ground it very small, even

 vah n .

 from Kadesh-barnea, saying, Go up and 
 possess the land which 1 have given you ;

 him not, nor hearkened to his voice. 
 
 24 «Ye have been rebellious against Je- 
 hovah from the day that I knew you. 
 
 25 'Thus I fell down before Jehovah 
 forty days and forty nights, as I fell down 
 at the first ; because Jehovah had said he 
 would destroy you. 
 
 26 'I prayed therefore to Jehovah, and 
 said, Lord Jehovah, destroy not thy 
 people and thine inheritance, which thou 
 hast redeemed through thy greatness, which 
 thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with 
 a mighty hand. 
 
 27 Remember thy servants, Abraham, 
 Isaac, and Jacob; look not to the stub-

 ness, nor to their sin : 
 
 28 Lest 'the land whence thou broughtest 
 us out, say, "Because Jehovah was not 
 able to bring them into the land which he

 AT that time Jehovah said to me, "Hew 
 thee two tables of stone like the first, 
 and come up to me into the mount, and 
 *make thee an ark of wood. 
 
 2 And I will write on the tables the words 
 that were in the first tables which thou

 11 *And Jehovah said to me, Arise, ttake 
 thy journey before the people, that they 
 may go in and possess the land which I 
 swore to their fathers to give to them. 
 
 12 If And now, Israel, "what doth Jeho- 
 vah thy God require of thee but to fear 
 Jehovah thy God, "to walk in all his ways, 
 and d to love him, and to serve Jehovah 
 thy God with all thy heart and with all 
 thy soul, 
 
 13 To keep the commandments of Jeho- 
 vah, and his Ordinances, which I com- 
 mand thee this day "for thy good ? 
 
 14 Behold, the heaven and the heaven 
 of heavens is Jehovah's thy God, ff the earth 
 also, with all that therein is. 
 
 15 ft Only Jehovah had a delight in thy 
 fathers to love them, and he chose their 
 seed after them, even you above all people, 
 as it is this day. 
 
 16 Circumcise therefore ( the foreskin of 
 your heart, and be no more "stiff-necked. 
 
 17 For Jehovah your God is 'God of gods, 
 and m Lord of lords, a great God, "a mighty, 
 and a terrible, who "regardeth not persons, 
 nor taketh 6 bribes : 
 
 18 p He doth execute the judgment of the 
 fatherless and widow, and loveth the 
 stranger, 7 by giving him food and raiment. 
 
 19 'Love ye therefore the stranger: for 
 ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. 
 
 20 r Thou shalt fear Jehovah thy God ; 
 him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt thou 
 •cleave, 'and swear by his name. 
 
 21 "He is thy praise, and he is thy God, 
 that hath done for thee these great and 
 terrible things which thine eyes have seen. 
 
 22 Thy fathers went down into Egypt 
 "with threescore and ten persons ; and now 
 Jehovah thy God hath made thee *as the 
 stars of heaven for multitude.

 of Jehovah your God, d his greatness, 'his 
 mighty hand, and his stretched out arm, 
 
 3 ^And his 2 miracles, and his acts, which 
 he did in the midst of Egypt, to Pharaoh 
 the king of Egypt, and to all his land ; 
 
 4 And what he did to the army of Egypt, 
 to their horses, and to their chariots ; s how 
 he made the water of the Red sea to over- 
 flow them as they pursued after you, and 
 how Jehovah hath destroyed them to this 
 day; 
 
 5 And what he did to you in the 3 desert, 
 until ye came into this place ; 
 
 6 And A what he did to Dathan and Abi- 
 ram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben : 
 how the eartli opened her mouth, and 
 swallowed them up, and their households, 
 and their tents, and all the || substance that 
 twas in their possession, in the midst of 
 all Israel : 
 
 7 But *your eyes have seen all the great 
 acts of Jehovah which he did. 
 
 8 Therefore shall ye keep all the com- 
 mandments which I command you this 
 day, that ye may *be strong, and go in and 
 possess the land, whither ye go to possess it ; 
 
 9 And 'that ye may prolong your days in 
 the land "which Jehovah swore to your 
 fathers to give to them, and to their seed, 
 "a land that floweth with milk and honey. 
 
 10 U For the land, whither thou goest in 
 to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, 
 from whence ye came out, "where thou 
 sowedst thy seed, and wateredst it with 
 thy foot, as a garden of herbs : 
 
 11 p But the land, whither ye go to possess 
 it, is a land of "mountains and valleys, and 
 drinketh water of the rain of heaven : 
 
 12 A land which Jehovah thy God tcareth 
 for : 'the eyes of Jehovah thy God are 
 always upon it, from the beginning of the 
 year even to the end of the year. 
 
 13 ^ And it shall come to pass, if ye shall 
 hearken 'diligently to my commandments 
 which I command you this day, 'to love 
 Jehovah your God, and to serve him with 
 all your heart and with all your soul. 
 
 14 That 'I will give you the rain of your 
 land in 5 its season, "the first rain ana the 
 latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy 
 corn, and thy 'new' wine, and 6 thy fresh oil. 
 
 15 x And I will tsend grass in thy fields for 
 thy cattle, that thou mayest y eat and be full. 
 
 16 Take heed to yourselves, 'that your 
 heart be not 'enticed, and ye turn aside, 
 and "serve other gods, and worship them ; 
 
 17 And then 'Jehovah's wrath be kindled 
 against you, and he 'shut up the heaven, 
 that there be no rain, and that the land 
 yield not her fruit; and lest 'ye perish 
 quickly from off the good land which Je- 
 hovah giveth you. 
 
 18 f Therefore "shall ye lay up these my 
 words in your heart and in your soul, and 
 /bind them for a sign upon your hand, that 
 they may be as frontlets between your eyes. 
 
 19 «And ye shall teach them 'to' your 
 of them when 
 
 children, speaking 
 
 thou 
 
 sittestin thy house, and when thou walkest 
 by the way, when thou liest down, and 
 when thou risest up. 
 
 20 *And thou shalt write them upon the 
 door posts of thy house, and upon thy gates : 
 
 21 That "your days may be multiplied, 
 and the days of your children, in the land 
 which Jehovah swore to your fathers to 
 
J} blessing and a curse proposed. 
 
 give them, 'as the days of heaven upon 
 the earth. 
 
 22 f For if 'ye shall diligently keep all 
 these commandments which I command 
 you, to do them, to love Jehovah your God, 
 to walk in all his ways, and m to cleave to 
 him; 
 
 23 Then will Jehovah "drive out all these 
 nations from before you, and ye shall "pos- 
 sess greater nations and mightier than 
 yourselves. 
 
 24 p Every place whereon the soles of your 
 feet shall tread shall be yours : 5 from the 
 Mesert, and Lebanon, from the river, the 
 river Euphrates, even to the 9 western sea 
 shall your 10 border be. 
 
 25 'There shall no man be able to stand 
 before you : for Jehovah your God shall 
 'lay the fear of you, and the dread of you 
 upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, 
 'as he hath said to you. 
 
 26 1[ "Behold, I set before you this day a 
 blessing and a curse : 
 
 27 X A blessing, if ye obey the command 
 ments of Jehovah your God which I com 
 mand you this day; 
 
 28 And a "curse, if ye will not obey the 
 commandments of Jehovah your God, but 
 turn aside out of the way which I com 
 inand you this day, to go after other gods 
 which ye have not known. 
 
 29 And it shall come to pass when Jeho 
 vah thy God hath brought thee in to the 
 land whither thou goest to possess it, that 
 thou shalt put 'the blessing upon mount 
 Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal 
 
 30 Jlre they not on the other side Jordan, 
 by the way where the sun goeth down, in 
 the land of the Canaanites, who dwell in 
 the "plain over against Gilgal, "beside the 
 ,2 oaks of Moreh ? 
 
 31 'For ye shall pass over Jordan to go in 
 to possess the land which Jehovah your 
 God giveth you, and ye shall possess \t, 
 and dwell therein. 
 
 32 And ye shall observe 'to do all the 
 "ordinances and judgments which I set 
 before you this day.

 off the nations from before thee, whither 
 thou goest to possess them, and thou tsuc- 
 ceedest them, and dwellest in their land ; 
 
 30 Take heed to thyself "that thou be not 
 12 ensnared tby following them, after that 
 they 13 are destroyed from before thee ; and 
 that thou inquire not after their gods, say- 
 ing, How did these nations serve their 
 gods ? even so will I do likewise. 
 
 31 "Thou shalt not do so to Jehovah thy 
 God ; for every tabomination to Jehovah 
 which he hateth have they done to their 
 gods ; for p even their sons and their daugh-

 gods. 
 
 32 Whatever thing I command you, 
 observe to do it: 'thou shalt not add 
 thereto, nor diminish from it.

 1 Enticers to idolatry, 6 how near soever to thee, 
 9 are to be stoned to death. 12 Idolatrous cities 
 are not to be spared. 
 
 IF there arise among you a prophet, or a 
 "dreamer of dreams, 'and giveth thee a 
 sign or a wonder, 
 
 2 And 'the sign or the wonder come to 
 pass, whereof he spoke to thee, saying, 
 Let us go after other gods, which thou hast 
 not known, and let us serve them ; 
 
 3 Thou shalt not hearken to the words of 
 that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams : 
 for Jehovah your God d proveth you, to 
 know whether ye love Jehovah your God 
 with all your heart and with all your soul. 
 
 4 Ye shall 'walk after Jehovah your God, 
 and fear him, and keep his commandments, 
 and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, 
 and 'cleave to him. 
 
 5 And 'that prophet, or that dreamer of 
 dreams, shall be put to death ; because he 
 hath tspoken to turn you away from Jeho- 
 vah your God, who brought you out of the 
 land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of

 CHAPTER XIV. 
 
 1 God's children are not to disfigure themselves in 
 mourning. 3 What may, and ivhat may not be eaten, 
 4 of beasts, 9 of fishes, 11 of fowls. 21 That which 
 dieth of itself may not be eaten. 22 Tithes of di- 
 vine service. 23 Tithes andfirstlings of rejoicing 
 before JEHOVAH. 28 Tlie third year's tithe of 
 alms and charily. 
 
 YE are "the children of Jehovah your 
 God : *y e shall not cut yourselves, 
 
Of meats clean and unclean. 
 
 nor make any baldness 'on your foreheads 
 for the dead. 
 
 2 c For thou art a holy people to Jehovah 
 thy God, and Jehovah hath chosen thee 
 to be 2 a people, a treasure to himself, above 
 all the nations that are upon the earth. 
 
 3 Tf d Thou shalt not eat any abominable 
 thing. 
 
 4 'These are the beasts which ye shall 
 eat : The ox, the sheep, and the goat, 
 
 5 The hart, and the 3 antelope, and the 
 fallow-deer, and the wild-goat, and the 
 ||t 4 gazelle, and the wild-ox, and the 
 chamois. 
 
 6 And every beast that parteth the hoof, 
 and cleaveth the cleft into two ^arts, and 
 cheweth the cud among the beasts, that ye 
 shall eat. 
 
 7 Nevertheless, these ye shall not eat, of 
 them that chew the cud, or of them that 
 divide the cloven hoof; as the camel, and 
 the hare, and the 6 coney : for they chew 
 the cud, but divide not the hoof; therefore 
 they are unclean to you. 
 
 8 And the swine, because it diyideth the 
 hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean 
 to you : ye shall not eat of their flesh, f nor 
 touch their dead carcass. 
 
 9 If ff These ye shall eat, of all that are in 
 the waters: all that have fins and scales 
 shall ye eat : 
 
 10 And whatever hath not fins and

 not eat : The eagle, and the 7 ossifrage, and

 vulture after his kind, 
 
 14 And every raven after his kind,

 kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.

 is unclean to you : Hhey shall not be eaten. 
 
 20 But of all clean fowls ye may eat. 
 
 21 Tf ! Ye shall not eat of any thing that 
 dieth of itself: thou shalt give it to the 
 stranger that is in thy gates, that he may 
 eat it ; or thou mayest sell it to an alien :

 God. "Thou shalt not 10 boil a kid in his 
 mother's milk.

 oil, and 'the firstlings of thy herds and of 
 thy flocks ; that thou mayest learn to fear 
 Jehovah thy God always.

 so that thou art not able to carry it ; or r if 
 the place be too far from thee, which Je- 
 hovah thy God shall choose to set his name 
 there, when Jehovah thy God hath blessed 
 thee:

 1 The seventh year a year of release for the poor. 
 7 It must be no let of lending or giving. 12 A 
 Hebrew servant, 16 except he will not depart, must 
 in the seventh year go forth free and well furnish- 
 ed. 19 All firstling males of the cattle are to be 
 sanctified to JEHOVAH. 
 
 AT the end of "every seven years thou 
 shalt make a "release. 
 2 And this is the manner of the release: 
 Every tcreditor that lendeth 2 any thing to 
 his neighbour, shall release it; he shall 
 not exact it of his neighbour, or of his 
 
 brother; because 
 release. 
 3 »Of a 
 
 it is called Jehovah's 
 
 foreigner thou mayest exact it 
 again: but that which is thine with thy 
 brother thy hand shall release : 
 
 4 || 3 Except when there shall be no poor 
 among you ; c for Jehovah shall greatly 
 bless thee in the land which Jehovah thy 
 God giveth thee for an inheritance to pos- 
 sess it : 
 
 5 Only ^f thou carefully hearken to the 
 voice of Jehovah thy God, to observe to 
 do all these commandments which I com- 
 mand thee this day. 
 
 6 For Jehovah thy God 4 will bless thee, 
 as he promised thee : and 'thou shalt lend 
 to many nations, but thou shalt not borrow ; 
 and -thou shalt reign over many nations, 
 but they shall not reign over thee. 
 
 7 U If there be among you a poor man of 
 one of thy brethren within any of thy gates 
 in thy land which Jehovah thy God giveth 
 thee, ff thou shalt not harden thy heart, nor 
 shut thy hand from thy poor brother: 
 
 8 *But thou shalt open thy hand wide to 
 him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient 
 for his need, b of that which he wanteth. 
 
 9 Beware that there be not a tthought in 
 thy twicked heart, saying, The seventh 
 year, the year of release, is at hand ; and 
 thine i6 eye be evil against thy poor brother, 
 and thou givest him 'nothing ; and "he cry 
 to Jehovah against thee, and ! it be sin to 
 thee. 
 
 10 Thou shalt surely give him, and "thy 
 heart shall not be grieved when thou givest 
 to him : because that "for this thing Jeho-

 11 For "the poor shall never cease out of 
 the land : therefore I command thee, say- 
 ing, Thou shalt open thy hand wide to thy 
 brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in 
 thy land. 
 
 12 If And f \i thy brother, a Hebrew man, 
 or a Hebrew woman, be sold to thee, and 
 serve thee six years ; then in the seventh 
 year thou shalt let him go free from thee. 
 
 13 And when thou sendest him out free 
 from thee, thou shalt not let him go away 
 empty : 
 
 14 Thou shalt furnish him liberally out 
 of thy flock, and out of thy floor, and out 
 of thy wine-press ; of that wherewith 
 Jehovah thy God hath 'blessed thee thou 
 shalt give to him. 
 
 15 And 'riiou shalt remember that thou 
 wast a bond-man in the land of Egypt, and 
 Jehovah thy God redeemed thee : there- 
 fore I command thee this thing to-day. 
 
 16 And it shall be, s if he say to thee, I 
 will not go away from thee; because he 
 loveth thee and thy house, because he is 
 well with thee ; 
 
 17 Then thou shalt take an awl, and 
 thrust it through his ear to the door, and 
 he shall be thy servant for ever. And also 
 to thy maid-servant thou shalt do likewise. 
 
 18 It shall not seem hard to thee, when 
 thou sendest Mm away free from thee : for 
 he hath been worth ( a double hired servant 
 to thee, in serving thee six years: and Je- 
 hovah thy God shall bless thee in all that 
 thou doest. 
 
 19 If "All the firstling males that come of 
 thy herd and of thy flock thou shalt "sancti- 
 fy to Jehovah thy God : thou shalt do no 
 work with the firstling of thy bullock, nor 
 shear the firstling of thy sheep. 
 
 20 r Thou shalt eat it before Jehovah thy 
 God year by year in the place which Je- 
 hovah shall choose, thou and thy house- 
 hold. 
 
 21 "And if there be any blemish therein, 
 as if it be lame, or blind, or have any ill 
 blemish, thou shalt not sacrifice it to Je- 
 hovah thy God. 
 
 22 Thou shalt eat it within thy gates : 
 z the unclean and the clean person shall eat 
 it alike, as the 9 antelope, and as the hart. 
 
 23 "Only thou shalt not eat the blood 
 thereof; thou shalt pour it upon the ground 
 as water.

 1 The feast of the passover, 9 of weeks, 13 of l booths. 
 16 Every male must offer, as he is able, at these 
 three feasts. 18 Of judges and justice. 21 Groves 
 and images are forbidden. 
 
 (OBSERVE the -month of Abib, and 
 ^ keep the passover to Jehovah thy God : 
 for 'in the month of Abib Jehovah thy God 
 brought thee forth out of Egypt c by night. 
 
 2 Thou shalt therefore sacrifice the pass- 
 over to Jehovah thy God, of the flock and 
 ''the herd, in the 'place which Jehovah 
 shall choose to place his name there. 
 
 3 'Thou shalt eat no leavened bread with 
 it ; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened 
 bread therewith, even the bread of afflic- 
 tion ; (for thou earnest forth out of the land 
 of Egypt in haste :) that thou mayest re- 
 member the day when thou earnest forth 
 out of the land of Egypt, all the days of 
 thy life.

 the season that thou earnest forth out of 
 Egypt. 
 
 7 And thou shalt l5 boil and eat it In the

 temner of that determination must die. 14 The

 any of thy gates which Jehovah thy God 
 giveth thee, man or woman that hath 
 wrought wickedness in the sight of Jeho-

 3 And hath gone and served other gods, 
 and worshipped them, either the sun, or 
 moon, or any of the host of heaven, 'which 
 I have not commanded ; 
 
 4 'And it be told thee, and thou hast 
 heard of it, and inquired diligently, and 
 behold, it be true, and the thing certain, 
 that such abomination is wrought in Is- 
 rael: 
 
 5 Then shalt thou bring forth that man 
 or that woman, 3 who hath committed that 
 wicked thing, to thy gates, even that man 
 or that woman, and «shalt stone them with 
 stones, till they die. 
 
 6 A4 J3y the mouth of two witnesses, or 
 three witnesses, shall he that is worthy of 
 death be put to death ; but 5 by the mouth 
 of one witness he shall not be put to death. 
 
 7 'The hands of the witnesses shall be 
 first upon him to put him to death, and 
 afterward the hands of all the people. So 
 thou shalt put the evil away from among 
 you. 
 
 8 ^f 'If there arise a matter too hard for 
 thee in judgment, "between blood and 
 blood, between 6 plea and plea, and be- 
 tween stroke and stroke, being matters of

 which Jehovah thy God shall choose ; 
 
 9 And "thou shalt come to the priests the 
 Levites, and p to the judge that shall be in 
 those days, and inquire; «and they shall 
 shew thee the sentence of judgment: 
 
 10 And thou shalt do according to the 
 sentence, which they of that place which 
 Jehovah shall choose shall shew thee;

 all that they 8 teach thee : 
 
 11 According to the sentence of the law

 tuously, tand will not hearken to the priest

 which Jehovah thy God giveth thee, and 
 shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, 
 and shalt say, *I will set a king over me, 
 like 9 all the nations that are about me ; 
 
 15 Thou shalt '"surely set him king over 
 thee »whom Jehovah thy God shall choose: 
 one from among thy brethren shalt thou 
 set king over thee : thou mayest not set a 
 stranger over thee, who is not thy brother. 
 
 16 But he shall not multiply "horses to 
 himself, nor cause the people to return to 
 Egypt, to the end that ne should multiply 
 horses : "because 'Jehovah hath said to 
 you, d Ye shall henceforth return no more 
 that way. 
 
 17 Neither shall he multiply wives to 
 himself, that 'his heart turn not away: 
 neither shall he greatly multiply to him- 
 self silver and gold. 
 
 18'And it shall be when he sitteth upon the 
 throne of his kingdom, that he shall write 
 him a copy of this law in a book out of 
 s that which is before the priests the Levites. 
 
 19 And "it shall be with him, and he shall 
 read therein all the days of his life: that 
 he may learn to fear Jehovah his God, to 
 keep all the words of this law and these 
 ^ordinances, to do them : 
 
 20 That his heart be not lifted up above 
 his brethren, and that he 'turn not aside 
 from the commandment to the right hand 
 or to the left: to the end that he may pro- 
 long his days in his kingdom, he, and his 
 children, in the midst of Israel. 
 
 CHAPTER XVIII. 
 
 1 JEHOVAH is the priests' and Levites' inheritance. 
 3 The priest's due. 6 The Levite'a portion. 9 The 
 abominations of the nations are to be avoided. 15 
 Christ the Prophet is to be heard. 20 The presump- 
 tuous prophet is to die. 
 
 THE priests the Levites, and all the 
 tribe of Levi, "shall have no part nor 
 inheritance with Israel : they 'shall eat the 
 offerings of Jehovah made by fire, and his 
 inheritance. 
 
 2 Therefore shall they have no inherit- 
 ance among their brethren : Jehovah is 
 their inheritance, as he hath said to them. 
 
 3 ^ And this shall be the priest's due 
 from the people, from them that offer a 
 sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep ; and 
 they shall give to the priest the shoulder, 
 and the two cheeks, and the maw. 
 
 4 ''The first-fruit also of thy corn, of thy 
 ' new' wine, and of thy fresh oil, and the 
 first of the fleece of thy sheep, shalt thou 
 give him. 
 
 5 For 'Jehovah thy God hath chosen him 
 out of all thy tribes, 'to stand to minister 
 in the name of Jehovah, him and his sons 
 for ever. 
 
 6 If And if a Levite come from any of thy 
 gates out of all Israel, where he ^sojourned, 
 and come with all the desire of his mind *to 
 the place which Jehovah shall choose ; 
 
 7 Then he shall minister in the name of 
 Jehovah his God, 'as all his brethren the 
 Levites do, who stand there before Jehovah. 
 
 8 They shall have like ^portions to eat, 
 besides tthat which cometh of the sale of 
 his patrimony. 
 
 9 ^ When thou art come into the land 
 which Jehovah thy God giveth thee, 'thou 
 
 145

 shalt not learn to do after the abomina- 
 tions of those nations. 
 
 10 There shall not be found among you 
 any one that maketh his son or his daugh- 
 ter m to pass through the fire, n or that useth 
 divination, or 2 a sorcerer, or an enchanter, 
 or a witch, 
 
 11 "Or a charmer, or a consulter with fa- 
 miliar spirits, or a wizard, or '''one who 
 consulteth the dead. 
 
 12 For all that do these things are an 
 abomination to Jehovah : and 'because of 
 these abominations Jehovah thy God doth 
 drive them out from before thee. 
 
 13 Thou shalt be 4 sincere with Jehovah 
 thy God. 
 
 14 For these nations, which thou shalt 
 Upossess, hearkened to s sorcerers, and to 
 diviners : but as for thee, Jehovah thy God 
 hath not suffered thee so to do. 
 
 15 f 'Jehovah thy God will raise up to 
 thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of 
 thy brethren, like to me ; to him ye shall 
 hearken. 
 
 16 According to all that thou desiredst 
 of Jehovah thy God in Horeb 'in the day 
 of the assembly, saying, 'Let me not hear 
 again the voice of Jehovah my God, nei- 
 ther let me see this great fire any more, 
 that I die not. 
 
 17 And Jehovah said to me, "They have 
 well spoken that which they have spoken. 
 
 18 x l will raise them up a Prophet from 
 among their brethren, like to thee, and 
 *will put my words in his mouth ; 'and he 
 shall speak to them all that I shall com- 
 mand him. 
 
 19 "And it shall come to pass, that who- 
 ever will not hearken to my words which 
 he shall speak in my name, I will require 
 it of him. 
 
 20 But 'the prophet, who shall presume 
 to speak a word in my name, which I have 
 not commanded him to speak, or "that shall 
 speak in the name of other gods, even that 
 prophet shall die. 
 
 21 And if thou say in thy heart, How 
 shall we know the word which Jehovah 
 hath not spoken ? 
 
 22 d When a prophet speaketh in the name 
 of Jehovah, "if the thing follow not, nor 
 come to pass, that is the thing which Je- 
 hovah hath not spoken, but the prophet 
 hath spoken it 'presumptuously: thou shalt 
 not be afraid of him. 
 
 CHAPTER XIX. 
 
 1 The cities of refuge. 4 The privilege thereof for 
 the manslayer. 14 The land-mark is not to be re- 
 moved. 15 Two witnesses at the least. 16 The 
 punishment of a false witness. 
 
 WHEN Jehovah thy God "hath cut off 
 the nations, whose land Jehovah 
 thy God giveth thee, and thou tsucceed est 
 them, and dwellest in their cities, and in 
 their houses ; 
 
 2 'Thou shalt separate three cities for 
 thee in the midst of thy land which Jeho- 
 vah thy God giveth thee to possess it. 
 
 3 Thou shalt prepare thee a way, and 
 divide the 'regions of thy land which Je- 
 hovah thy God giveth thee to inherit, into 
 three parts, that every slayer may flee 
 thither.

 who shall flee thither, that he may live :

 out design, whom he hated not tin time 
 past; 
 
 5 As when a man goeth into the wood 
 with his neighbour to hew wood, and his 
 hand fetcheth a stroke with the axe to cut 
 down the tree, and the thead slippeth from 
 the thelve, and tlighteth upon his neighbour, 
 
 so' that he die; he shall flee to one of 
 these cities, and live : 
 
 6 d Lest the avenger of the blood pursue 
 the slayer, while his heart is hot, and over- 
 take him, because the way is long, and 
 tslay him ; whereas he was not worthy of 
 death, inasmuch as he hated him not tin 
 time past. 
 
 7 Wherefore I command thee, saying, 
 Thou shalt separate three cities for thee. 
 
 8 And if Jehovah thy God 'enlarge thy 
 ^border, as he hath sworn to thy fathers 
 and give thee all the land which he pro- 
 mised to give to thy fathers ; 
 
 9 If thou shalt keep all these command- 
 ments to do them, which I command thee 
 this day, to love Jehovah thy God, and to 
 walk ever in his ways ; ^then shalt thou 
 add three cities more for thee, besides 
 these three : 
 
 10 That innocent blood be not shed in 
 thy land, which Jehovah thy God giveth 
 thee for an inheritance, and so blood be 
 upon thee. 
 
 11 ^f But *if any man hate his neighbour, 
 and lie in wait for him, and rise up against 
 him, and smite him tmortally that he die, 
 and fleeth into one of these cities : 
 
 12 Then the elders of his city shall send 
 and bring him thence, and deliver him into 
 the hand of the avenger of blood, that he 
 may die. 
 
 13 *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. 
 
 14"[f*Thou shalt not remove thy neigh- 
 bour's land-mark, which they of 5 former 
 times have set in thine inheritance, which 
 thou shalt inherit in the land that Jehovah 
 thy God giveth thee to possess it. 
 
 15 If 'One witness shall not rise up against 
 a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in 
 any sin that he sinneth ; 6 by the mouth of 
 two witnesses, or 7 by the mouth of three 
 witnesses, shall the matter be established. 
 
 16 If If a false witness "rise up against 
 any man to testify 8 a crime against him ; 
 
 17 Then both the men between whom the 
 controversy is shall stand before Jehovah, 
 "before the priests and the judges, who 
 shall be in those days ; 
 
 18 And the judges shall make diligent 
 inquiry : and behold, if the witness be a 
 false witness, and hath testified falsely 
 against his brother ; 
 
 19 "Then shall ye do to him, as he had 
 '"contrived to have done to his brother: so 
 'shalt thou put the evil away from among 
 
 20 «And those who remain shall hear, 
 and fear, and shall henceforth commit no 
 more any such evil among you. 
 
 21 'And thine eye shall not pity ; but 'life 
 shall go for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, 
 hand for hand, foot for foot. 
 
 CHAPTER XX. 
 
 1 The priest's exhortation to encourage the people to 
 battle, 5 The officers' proclamation who are to 
 
Laws to be observed in war. 
 
 be dismissed from the war. 10 How to use the 
 cities that accept or refuse the proclamation of 
 peace. 16 What cities must be devoted. 19 Trees 
 of man's meat must not be destroyed in the siege. 
 
 WHEN thou goest out to battle against 
 thine enemies, and seest "horses, and 
 chariots, and a people more than thou, be 
 not afraid of them : for Jehovah thy God 
 is *with thee, who brought thee up out of 
 the land of Egypt. 
 
 2 And it shall oe when ye are come nigh 
 to the battle, that the priest shall approach 
 and speak to the people, 
 
 3 And shall say to them, Hear, O Israel, 
 ye approach this day to battle against your 
 enemies : let not your hearts tfaint, fear 
 not, and do not ttremble, neither be ye 
 terrified because of themj 
 
 4 For Jehovah your God is he that goeth 
 with you, c to fight for you against your 
 enemies, to save you. 
 
 5 1f And the officers shall speak to the 
 
 Eeople, saying, What man is there that hath 
 uilt a new house, and hath not ^dedicated 
 it ? let him go and return to his house, lest 
 he die in the battle, and another man de- 
 dicate it. 
 
 6 Arid what man is he that hath planted a 
 vineyard, and hath not yet teaten of it? let 
 him also go and return to his house, lest he 
 die in the battle, and another man eat of it. 
 
 7 e And what man is there that hath be- 
 trothed a wife, and hath not taken her ? 
 let him go and return to his house, lest he 
 die in the battle, and another man take her. 
 
 8 And the officers shall speak further to 
 the people, and they shall say, 'What man 
 is there that is fearful and faint-hearted ? 
 let him go and return to his house, lest his 
 brethren's heart tfaint as well as his heart. 
 
 9 And it shall be, when the officers ' shall' 
 have made an end of speaking to the peo- 
 ple, that they shall make captains of the 
 armies tto lead the people. 
 
 10 If When thou comest nigh to a city to 
 fight against it, e then proclaim peace to it. 
 
 11 And it shall be, if it make thee answer 
 of peace, and open to thee, then it shall be, 
 that all the people that is found therein, 
 shall be tributaries to thee, and they shall 
 serve thee. 
 
 12 And if it will make no peace with 
 thee, but will make war against thee, then 
 thou shalt besiege it : 
 
 13 And when Jehovah thy God hath de- 
 livered it into thy hands, ''thou shalt smite 
 every male thereof with the edge of the 
 sword : 
 
 14 But the women, and the little ones, 
 and 'the cattle, and all that is in the city, 
 even all the spoil thereof, shalt thou ttake 
 to thyself: and 'thou shalt eat the spoil of 
 thine enemies, which Jehovah thy God 
 hath given thee. 
 
 15 Thus shalt thou do to all the cities 
 which are very far oft 7 from thee, which are 
 not of the cities of these nations. 
 
 16 But 'of the cities of these people which 
 Jehovah thy God doth give thee for an in- 
 heritance, thou shalt save alive nothing 
 that breatheth : 
 
 17 But thou shalt utterly destroy them, 
 namely, the Hittites, and the Amorites, 
 the Cauaanites, and the Perizzites, the 
 Hivites, and the Jebusites, as Jehovah thy 
 God hath commanded thee :

 CHAPTER XXI. 
 
 I The expiation of an uncertain murder. 10 The 
 usage of a captive taken to wife. 15 The first- 
 born is not to be disinherited upon private affec- 
 tion. 18.4 stubborn son is to be stoned to death. 
 22 The malefactor must not hang all night on a 
 tree. 
 
 IF one be found slain in the land which 
 Jehovah thy God giveth thee to possess 
 it, lying in the field, and it be not Known 
 who hath slain him : 
 
 2 Then thine elders and thy judges shall 
 come forth, and they shall measure to the 
 cities which are round about him that is 
 slain : 
 
 3 And it shall be that the city which is 
 next to the slain man, even the elders of 
 that city shall take a heifer which hath not 
 been wrought with, and which hath not 
 drawn in the yoke ; 
 
 4 And the elders of that city shall bring 
 down the heifer to a rough valley, which is 
 neither 'plowed nor sown, and shall 2 strike 
 off the heifer's neck there in the valley; 
 
 5 And the priests the sons of Levi shall 
 come near, (for "them Jehovah thy God 
 hath chosen to minister to him, and to bles3 
 in the name of Jehovah,) and J by their 
 tword shall every controversy and every 
 stroke he tried; 
 
 6 And all the elders of that city that are 
 next to the slain man, c shall wash their 
 hands over the heifer that is 8 beheaded in 
 the valley : 
 
 7 And they shall 4 speak and say, _ Our 
 hands have not shed this blood, neither 
 have our eyes seen it. 
 
 8 Be merciful, O Jehovah, to thy people 
 Israel, whom thou hast redeemed, ''and 
 lay not innocent blood tto 5 the charge of 
 Israel thy people. And the blood shall be 
 forgiven them. 
 
 9 So 'shalt thou put away the guilt of in- 
 nocent blood from among you, when thou 
 shalt do that which is right in the sight of 
 Jehovah. 
 
 10 If When thou goest forth to war against 
 thine enemies, and Jehovah thy God hath 
 delivered them into thy hands, and thou 
 hast taken them captive, 
 
 11 And seest among the captives a beauti- 
 ful woman, and hast a desire 6 for her, that 
 thou wouldest have her 7 for thv wife ; 
 
 12 Then thou shalt bring her home to thy 
 house, and she shall shave her head, ana 
 
 II tpare her nails : 
 
 13 And she shall put the raiment of her 
 captivity from off her, and shall remain in 
 thy house, and 'bewail her father and her

 mother a 8 month: and after that, thou 
 shalt go in to her, and be her husband, and 
 she shall be thy wife. 
 
 14 And it shall be, if thou have no delight 
 in her, then thou shalt let her go whither 
 she will; but thou shalt not sell her at all 
 for money; thou shalt not 9 treat her as a 
 bond-woman, because thou hast ^humbled 
 her. 
 
 15 If If a man have two wives, one belov- 
 ed, "and another hated, and they have borne 
 him children, both the beloved and the 
 hated ; and if the first-born son be hers 
 that was hated : 
 
 16 Then it shall be, 'when he maketh his 
 sons to inherit that which he hath, that he 
 may not make the son of the beloved first- 
 born, before the son of the hated, which is 
 indeed the first-born : 
 
 17 But he shall acknowledge the son of 
 the hated/or the first-born, ''by giving him 
 a double portion of all tthat he hath : for 
 he is 'the beginning of his strength ; "the 
 right of the first-born is his. 
 
 18 f If a man have a stubborn and rebel- 
 lious son, who will not obey the voice of 
 his father, or the voice of his mother, and 
 that, when they have chastened him, will 
 not hearken to them : 
 
 19 Then shall his father and his mother 
 lay hold on him, and bring him out to the el- 
 ders of his city, and to the gate of his place ; 
 
 20 And they shall say to the elders of his 
 city, This our son is stubborn and rebel- 
 lious, he will not obey our voice ; he is a 
 "spendthrift, and a drunkard. 
 
 21 And all the men of his city shall stone 
 him with stones, that he die : "so shalt thou 
 put evil away from among you, "and all Is- 
 rael shall hear, and fear. 
 
 22 % And if a man have committed a sin 
 ''worthy of death, and he be to be put to 
 death, and thou hang him on a tree : 
 
 23 «His body shall not remain all night 
 upon the tree, but thou shalt "by all means 
 bury him that day; (for r he that is hanged 
 is faccursed of God;) that 'thy land be 
 not defiled, which Jehovah thy God giveth 
 thee/or an inheritance.

 from heaven, and bless thy people Israel, 
 and the land which thou hast given us, as 
 thou didst swear to our fathers, a land 
 that floweth with milk and honey. 
 
 16 If This day Jehovah thy God hath 
 commanded thee to do these Ordinances 
 and judgments: thou shalt therefore- keep 
 and do them with all thy heart, and with 
 all thy soul.

 mandments, and his judgments, and to 
 hearken to his voice:

 this day to be his "people, a treasure, as he 
 hath promised thee, and that thou shouldest 
 keep all his commandments ; 
 
 19 And to make thee "high above all na- 
 tions which he hath made, in praise, and 
 in name, and in honour; and that thou 
 mayest be *a holy people to Jehovah thy 
 God, as he hath spoken.

 shalt set thee up great stones, and plaster 
 them with plaster : 
 
 3 And thou shalt write upon them all the 
 words of this law, when thou art passed

 hovah thy God. 
 
 8 And thou shalt write upon the stones 
 all the words of this law, 'carving them 
 plainly. 
 
 9 If And Moses and the priests the Le- 
 vites spoke to all Israel, saying, 4 Be silent 
 and hearken, O Israel, 'this day thou art 
 become the people of Jehovah thy God- 
 
 10 Thou shalt therefore obey the voice of 
 Jehovah thy God, and do his command-

 min: 
 
 13 And *these shall stand upon mount

 and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali. 
 
 14 ff And "the Levites shall speak, and 
 say to all the men of Israel with a loud 
 voice, 
 
 15 'Cursed be the man that maketh any 
 graven or molten image, an abomination to 
 Jehovah, the work of. the hands of the 
 craftsman, and putteth it in a secret place:

 and all the people shall say, Amen. 
 
 20 ''Cursed be he that lieth with his fa-

 Amen. 
 
 21 'Cursed be he that lieth with any man-

 rise up against thee to be smitten before 
 thy lace : they shall come out' against thee 
 one way, and flee before thee seven ways. 
 
 8 Jehovah shall 'command the blessing 
 upon thee in thy ||store-houses, and in all 
 that thou *settest thy hand to : and he shall 
 bless thee in the land which Jehovah thy 
 God giveth thee. 
 
 9 'Jehovah shall establish thee a holy 
 people to himself, as he hath sworn to thee, 
 if thou shalt keep the commandments of 
 Jehovah thy God, and walk in his ways.

 see that thou art ""called by the name of 
 Jehovah; and they shall be "afraid of thee. 
 
 11 And "Jehovah shall make thee plen- 
 teous ||in goods, in the fruit of thy tbody, 
 and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the 
 fruit of thy ground, in the land which Je- 
 hovah swore to thy fathers to give thee. . 
 
 12 Jehovah shall open to thee his good 
 treasure, the heaven p to give the rain to 
 thy land in its season, and «to bless all the 
 work of thy hand : and thou shalt lend to 
 many nations, and thou shalt not borrow. 
 
 13 And Jehovah shall make thee 'the 
 head, and not the tail ; and thou shalt be 
 above only, and thou shalt not be beneath ; 
 if that thou hearken to the commandments 
 of Jehovah thy God, which I command 
 thee this day, to observe and to do them : 
 
 14 'And thou shalt not go aside from any 
 of the words which I command thee this 
 day, to the right hand or to the left, to go 
 after other gods to serve them. 
 
 15 If But it shall come to pass, "if thou 
 wilt not hearken to the voice of Jehovah 
 thy God, to observe to do all his command- 
 ments and his Ordinances which I com- 
 mand thee this day: that all these curses 
 shall come upon thee, and 'overtake thee : 
 
 16 Cursed shalt thou be "in the city, and 
 cursed shalt thou be in the field. 
 
 17 Cursed shall be thy basket and thy 
 5 kneading-bowl. 
 
 18 Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, 
 and the fruit of thy land, the increase of 
 thy 7 cows, and the flocks of thy sheep. 
 
 19 Cursed shalt thou be when thou 
 comest in, and cursed shalt thou be when 
 thou goest out. 
 
 20 Jehovah shall send upon thee 'cursing, 
 o8 confusion, and 'rebuke, in all the work of 
 thy hand which thou tdoest, until thou be 
 destroyed, and until thou perish quickly : 
 because of the wickedness of thy doings 
 whereby thou hast forsaken me. 
 
 21 Jehovah shall make "the pestilence 
 cleave to thee, until he have consumed 
 thee from off the land, whither thou goest 
 to possess it. 
 
 22 ^Jehovah shall smite thee with a con- 
 sumption, and with a fever, and with an 
 inflammation, and with an extreme burn- 
 ing, and with the ||sword, and with 'blast- 
 ing, and with 'drought : and they shall 
 pursue thee until thou perish.

 out one way against them, and flee seven 
 ways before them ; and ''shalt be t I0 op- 
 pressed by all the kingdoms of the earth. 
 
 26 And 'thy carcass shall be meat to all 
 fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the 
 earth, and no man 6hall "frighten them 
 away. 
 
 27 Jehovah will smite thee with "the 
 ,2 boil of Egypt, and with 'the "piles, and 
 with "tumors, and with the ^scurvy, where- 
 of thou canst not be healed. 
 
 28 Jehovah shall smite thee with madness, 
 and blindness, and "astonishment of heart: 
 
 29 And thou shalt "grope at noon-day, as 
 the blind gropeth in ' thick' darkness, and 
 thou shalt not prosper in thy ways : and 
 thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled 
 evermore, and no man shall save thee. 
 
 50 "Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another 
 man shall lie with her : 'thou shalt build 
 a house, and thou shalt not dwell therein : 
 s thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not 
 t l5 use the grapes thereof. 
 
 31 Thine ox shalt be slain before thine 
 eyes, and thou shalt not eat thereof: thine 
 ass shall be violently taken away from be- 
 fore thy face, and tshall not be restored to 
 thee : thy sheep shall be given to thine ene- 
 mies, and thou shalt have none to rescue 
 them. 
 
 32 Thy sons and thy daughters shall be 
 given to another people, and thine eyes 
 shall look, and 'fait with longing for them 
 all the day long: and there shall be no 
 might in thy hand. 
 
 33 'The fruit of thy land, and all thy la- 
 bours, shall a nation which thou knowest 
 not eat up : and thou shalt be only oppress- 
 ed and crushed always : 
 
 34 So that thou shalt be mad 'for the sight 
 of thine eyes which thou shalt see. 
 
 35 Jehovah shall "smite thee in the knees, 
 and in the legs, with a sore n boil that can- 
 not be healed, from the sole of thy foot to 
 the top of thy head. 
 
 36 Jehovah shall "bring thee, and thy king 
 whom thou shalt set over thee, to a nation 
 which neither thou nor thy fathers have 
 known ; and "there shalt thou serve other 
 gods, wood and stone. 
 
 37 And thou shalt become *an astonish- 
 ment, a proverb, "and a by-word, among all 
 nations whither Jehovah shall lead thee. 
 
 38 'Thou shalt carry much seed out into 
 the field, and shalt gather but little in : for 
 'the locust shall consume it. 
 
 39 Thou shalt plant vineyards and dress 
 them, but shalt neither drink of the wine, 
 nor gather the grapes : for the worms shall 
 eat them. 
 
 40 Thou shalt have olive-trees through- 
 out all thy "regions, but thou shalt not 
 anoint thyself with the oil : for thine olive 
 shall cast its fruit. 
 
 41 Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, 
 but tthou shalt not enjoy them : for d they 
 shall go into captivity.

 get up above thee very high ; and thou shalt 
 come down very low.

 thou hearkenedst not to the voice of Jeho-

 and his statutes which he commanded thee. 
 
 46 And they shall be upon thee "for a 
 sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed

 55 So that he will not give to any of them 
 some' of the flesh of his children whom 
 
 he shall eat : because he hath nothing left 
 him in the siege and in the straitness 
 wherewith thine enemies shall distress 
 thee in all thy gates. 
 
 56 The tender and delicate woman among 
 you, who would not ^venture to set the 
 sole of her foot upon the ground for deli- 
 cateness and tenderness, "her eye shall be 
 ^niggardly towards the husband of her 
 bosom, and towards her son, and towards 
 her daughter, 
 
 57 And towards her young one that 25 she 
 hath *borne, and towards her 26 newly born 
 child : for she shall eat them for want of 
 all things secretly in the siege and strait- 
 ness wherewith thine enemy shall distress 
 thee in thy gates. 
 
 58 If thou wilt not observe to do all the 
 words of this law that are written in this 
 book, that thou mayest fear "this glorious 
 and fearful name JEHOVAH THY GOD : 
 
 153 
 
Ml'are presented before Jehovah 
 
 59 Then Jehovah" will make thy plagues 
 'wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, 
 even great plagues, and oflong continuance, 
 and "grievous sicknesses, and of long con- 
 tinuance. 
 
 60 Moreover, he will bring upon thee all 
 "the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast 
 afraid of; and they shall cleave to thee. 
 
 61 Also every sickness, and every plague 
 which is not written in the book of this 
 law, them will Jehovah tbring upon thee, 
 until thou 2S art destroyed. 
 
 62 And ye 'shall be left few in number, 
 whereas ye were c as the stars of heaven for 
 multitude; because thou wouldestnot obey 
 the voice of Jehovah thy God. 
 
 63 And it shall come to pass, that as Je- 
 hovah d rejoiced over you to do you good, 
 and to multiply you ; so Jehovah 'will re- 
 joice over you to destroy you and to bring 
 you to 29 nothing ; and ye shall be plucked 
 from off the land whither thou goest to 
 possess it. 
 
 64 And Jehovah •'shall scatter thee among 
 all people from the one end of the earth 
 even to the other; and ff there thou shalt 
 serve other gods, which neither thou nor 
 thy fathers have known, even wood and 
 stone. 
 
 65 And ''among these nations shalt thou 
 find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy 
 foot have rest: 'but Jehovah shall give 
 thee there a trembling heart, and failing 
 of eyes, and l30 faintness of mind. 
 
 66 And thy life shall hang in doubt before 
 thee : and thou shalt fear clay and night, 
 and shalt have none assurance of thy life : 
 
 67 'In the morning thou shalt say, 31 that 
 it were evening ! and at evening thou shalt 
 say, 32 that it were morning ! for the fear 
 of thine heart wherewith thou shalt fear, 
 and '"for the sight of thine eyes which thou 
 shalt see. 
 
 68 And Jehovah ['shall bring thee into 
 Egypt again with ships, by the way where- 
 oi I spoke to thee, "Thou shalt see it no 
 more again : and there ye shall be sold to 
 your enemies for bond-men and bond-wo- 
 men, and no man shall buy you. 
 
 CHAPTER XXIX. 
 
 1 Moses exhorteth them to obedience, by the memory 
 of the works they have seen. 10 All are presented 
 before JEHOVAH to enter into his covenant. 18 
 The great wrath on him that fiattereth himself in 
 his wickedness. 29 Secret things belong to God. 
 
 THESE are the words' of the covenant 
 which Jehovah commanded Moses to 
 make with the children of Israel in the 
 land of Moab, besides "the covenant which 
 he made with them in Horeb. 
 
 2 If And Moses called to all Israel, and 
 said to them, 'Ye have seen all that Jeho- 
 vah did before your eyes in the land of 
 Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, 
 and to all his land ; 
 
 3 'The great 'trials which thine eyes have 
 seen, the signs, and those great miracles : 
 
 4 Yet ^Jehovah hath not given you a 
 heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears 
 to hear, to this day. 
 
 5 "And I have led you forty years in the 
 2 desert: 'your clothes 3 have not become 
 old upon you, and thy shoe 4 hath not be- 
 come old upon thy foot.

 7 And when ye came to this place, *Si- 
 hon the king of Heshbon, and Og the king 
 of Bashan, came out against us to battle, 
 and we smote them : 
 
 8 And we took their land, and 'gave it for 
 an inheritance to the Reubenites, and to 
 the Gadites, and to the half-tribe of Ma- 
 nasseh. 
 
 9 'Keep therefore the words of this cove- 
 nant, and do them, that ye may 'prosper in 
 all that ye do. 
 
 10 If Ye stand this day all of you before 
 Jehovah your God ; your 6 heads of your 
 tribes, your elders, and your officers, with 
 all the men of Israel, 
 
 11 Your little ones, your wives, and thy 
 stranger that is in thy camp, from "the 
 hewer of thy wood, to the drawer of thy 
 water : 
 
 12 That thou shouldest tenter into cove- 
 nant with Jehovah thy God, and "into his 
 oath, which Jehovah tny God maketh with 
 thee this day : 
 
 13 That he may "establish thee to-day for 
 a people to himself, and that he may be to 
 thee a God, p as he hath said to thee, and 
 ? as he hath sworn to thy fathers, to Abra- 
 ham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. 
 
 14 Neither with you only r do I make this 
 covenant and this oath ; 
 
 15 But with him that standeth here with 
 us this day before Jehovah our God, s and 
 also with him that is not here with us this 
 day: 
 
 16 (For ye know how we have dwelt in 
 the land of Egypt; and how we came 
 through the nations which ye passed by ; 
 
 17 And ye have seen their abominations, 
 and their fidols, wood and stone, silver and 
 gold, which were among them:) 
 
 18 Lest there should be among you man, 
 or woman, or family, or tribe, 'whose heart 
 turneth away this day from Jehovah our 
 God, to go and serve the gods of these na- 
 tions ; "lest there should be among you a 
 root that bear eth || t 6 poppy and wormwood; 
 
 19 And it come to pass, when he heareth 
 the words of this curse, that he bless him- 
 self in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, 
 though I walk '"in the Himagination of my 
 heart, *to add tdrunkenness to thirst: 
 
 20 "Jehovah will not spare him, but then 
 the anger of Jehovah and "his jealousy 
 
 shall smoke against that man, and all the 
 curses that are written in this book shall 
 lie upon him, and Jehovah 'shall blot out 
 his name from under heaven. 
 
 21 And Jehovah 'shall separate him to 
 evil out of all the tribes of Israel accord- 
 ing to all the curses of the covenant that 
 "is written in this book of the law : 
 
 22 So that the generation to come of your 
 children that shall rise up after you, and 
 the stranger that shall come from a far 
 land, shall say, when they see the plagues 
 of that land, and the sicknesses twhich Je- 
 hovah hath laid upon it ; 
 
 23 find that the whole land thereof is 
 brimstone, d and salt, and burning, that it 
 is not sown, nor doth it bear, nor doth any 
 grass grow in it, 'like the overthrow of So- 
 dom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, 
 which Jehovah overthrew in his anger and 
 in his wrath.

 CHAPTERS XXX. XXXI 
 
 24 Even all nations shall say, 'Where- 
 fore hath Jehovah done thus to this land ? 
 what meaneth the heat of this great anger ? 
 
 25 Then men shall say, Because they 
 have forsaken the covenant of Jehovah 
 God of their fathers, which he made with 
 them when he brought them forth out of 
 the land of Egypt : 
 
 26 For they went and served other gods, 
 and worshipped them, gods whom they 
 knew not, and \\ s who were not a portion 
 for them. 
 
 27 And the anger of Jehovah was kin- 
 dled against this land, s to bring upon it all 
 the curses that are written in this book : 
 
 28 And Jehovah ' ,9 plucked them out of 
 their land in anger and in wrath, and in 
 great indignation, and cast them into 
 another land, as it is this day. 
 
 29 The secret things belong to Jehovah 
 our God : but those things which are re- 
 vealed belong to us, and to our children 
 for ever, that we may do all the words of 
 this law.

 1 Great mercies promised to the repentant. 1 1 The 
 commandment is manifest. 15 Death and life are 
 set before them. 
 
 AND "it shall come to pass, when 'all 
 these things are come upon thee, the 
 blessing and the curse,which 1 have set be- 
 fore thee, and 'thou shalt call them to mind 
 among all the nations whither Jehovah thy 
 God hath driven thee, 
 
 2 And shalt d return to Jehovah thy God, 
 and shalt obey his voice according to all 
 that I command thee this day, thou and 
 thy children, with all thy heart, and with 
 all thy soul ; 
 
 3 "That then Jehovah thy God will turn 
 thy captivity, and have compassion upon 
 thee, and will return and 'gather thee from 
 all the nations whither Jehovah thy God 
 hath scattered thee. 
 
 4 ff If any of thine be driven out to the 
 outmost parts of heaven, from thence will 
 Jehovah thy God gather thee, and from 
 thence will he bring thee: 
 
 5 And Jehovah thy God will bring thee 
 into the land which thy fathers possessed, 
 and thou shalt possess it : and he will do 
 thee good, and multiply thee above thy 
 fathers. 
 
 6 And ''Jehovah thy God will circumcise 
 thy heart, and the "heart of thy seed, to 
 love Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, 
 and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live. 
 
 7 And Jehovah thy God will put all these, 
 curses upon thine enemies, and on them 
 that hate thee, who persecuted thee. 
 
 8 And thou shalt return and obey the 
 voice of Jehovah, and do all his command- 
 ments which I command thee this day. 
 
 9 'And Jehovah thy God will make thee 
 plenteous in every work of thy hand, in 
 the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of 
 thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for 
 good : for Jehovah will again *rejoice over 
 thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers : 
 
 10 If thou shalt hearken to the voice of 
 Jehovah thy God, to keep his command- 
 ments and his 'ordinances which are writ- 
 ten in this book of the law, and if thou 
 turn to Jehovah thy God with all thy heart 
 and with all thy soul.

 15 % See, "I have set before thee this day 
 life and good, and death and evil ; 
 
 16 In that I command thee this day to 
 love Jehovah thy God, to walk in his ways, 
 and to keep his commandments, and his

 thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it. 
 
 19 f \ call heaven and earth to 6 testify

 God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, 
 and that thou mayest cleave to him (for he 
 is thy r life, and the length of thy days) 
 that thou mayest dwell in the land which 
 Jehovah swore to thy fathers, to Abraham,

 CHAPTER XXXI. 
 
 1 Moses encourageth the people. 7 He encourageth 
 Joshua. 9 He delivereth the law to the priests to 
 read it in the seventh year to the people. 14 God 
 giveth a charge to Joshua, 19 and a song to testify 
 against the people. 24 Moses delivereth the book 
 of the law to the Levites to keep. 28 He maketh 
 a protestation to the ciders. 
 
 AND Moses went and spoke these words 
 to all Israel. 
 
 2 And he said to them, I "am a hundred 
 and twenty years old this day ; I can no 
 more 'go out and come in : also Jehovah 
 hath said to me, c Thou shalt not go over 
 this Jordan. 
 
 3 Jehovah thy God, ''he will go over be- 
 fore thee, and he will destroy these nations 
 from before thee, and thou shalt possess 
 them : and Joshua he shall go over before 
 thee, e as Jehovah hath said. 
 
 4 'And Jehovah shall do to them «as he 
 did to Sihon, and to Og, kings of the Amo- 
 rites, and to the land of them, whom he 
 destroyed. 
 
 5 And Mehovah shall give them up be- 
 fore your face, that ye may do to them ac- 
 cording to all the commandments which I 
 have commanded you. 
 
 6 ; Be strong and of a good courage, *fear 
 not, nor be afraid of them : for Jehovah 
 thy God, 'he it is that doth go with thee, 
 m he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. 
 
 7 1f And Moses called to Joshua, and said 
 to him in the sight of all Israel, "Be strong 
 and of a good courage : for thou must go 
 
 155 
 
God giveth a charge to Joshua. 
 
 with this people to the land which Jeho- 
 vah hath sworn to their fathers to give 
 them; and thou shalt cause them to in- 
 herit it. 
 
 8 And Jehovah, "he it is that doth go be- 
 fore thee ; p he will be with thee, he will not 
 fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, 
 neither be dismayed. 
 
 9 1f And Moses wrote this law, «and de- 
 livered it to the priests the sons of Levi, 
 r who bore the ark of the covenant of Je- 
 hovah, and to all the elders of Israel. 
 
 10 And Moses commanded them, saying, 
 At the end of every seven years, in the 
 'appointed season of the 'year of release, 
 'in the feast of booths, 
 
 11 When all Israel is come to "appear 
 before Jehovah thy God in the place which 
 he shall choose, *thou shalt read this law 
 before all Israel in their hearing. 
 
 12 ^Gather the people together, men, and 
 women, and children, and thy stranger 
 that is within thy gates, that they may 
 hear, and that they may learn, and fear 
 Jehovah your God, and observe to do all 
 the words of this law : 
 
 13 And that their children r who have not 
 known any thing, °may hear, and learn to 
 fear Jehovah your God, as long as ye 
 live in the land whither ye go over Jordan 
 to possess it. 
 
 14 If And Jehovah said to Moses, 6 Be- 
 hold, thy days approach that thou must 
 die: call Joshua, and present yourselves 
 in the 3 tent of the congregation, that C I may 
 give him a charge. And Moses and Joshua 
 went and presented themselves in the 4 tent 
 of the congregation. 
 
 15 And d Jehovah appeared in the taber- 
 nacle in a pillar of a cloud : and the pillar 
 of the cloud stood over the door of the 
 B tent. 
 
 16 If And Jehovah said to Moses, Be- 
 hold, thou shalt tsleep with thy fathers, 
 and this people will 'rise up, and^o lewd- 
 ly after the gods of the strangers of the 
 land, whither they go to be among them, 
 and will e forsake me, and ''break my cove- 
 nant winch I have made with them. 
 
 17 Then my anger shall be kindled against 
 them in that day, and 'I will forsake them, 
 and I will "hide my face from them, and 
 they shall be devoured, and many evils 
 and troubles shall tbefall them, so that 
 they will say in that day, "Have not these 
 evils come upon us, because our God is 
 •"not among us ? 
 
 18 And "I will surely hide my face in that 
 day for all the evils which they shall have 
 wrought, in that they are turned to other 
 gods. 
 
 19 Now therefore write ye this song for 
 you, and teach it the children of Israel : 
 
 Eut it in their mouths, that this song may 
 e "a witness for me against the children 
 of Israel. 
 
 > 20 For when I shall have brought them 
 into the land which I swore to their fa- 
 thers, that floweth with milk and honey ; 
 and they shall have eaten and filled them- 
 selves, 'and 8 become fat; 'then will they 
 turn to other gods, and serve them, ana 
 provoke me, and break my covenant. 
 21 And it shall come to pass, 'when many 
 evils and troubles are befallen them, that 
 thi9 song shall testify tagainst them as a

 Their future apostacy foretold 
 
 witness : for it shall not be forgotten out 
 of the mouths of their seed : for 'I know 
 their imagination 'which tthey 9 are busied 
 about, even now, before I have brought 
 them into the land which I swore. 
 
 22 1f Moses therefore wrote this song the 
 same day, and taught it ' to' the children 
 of Israel. 
 
 23 "And he gave Joshua the son of Nun 
 a charge, and said, x Be strong and of 10 
 good courage: for thou shalt bring the 
 children of Israel into the land which I 
 swore to them : and I will be with thee. 
 
 24 ^ And it came to pass, when Moses 
 had made an end of ^writing the words of 
 this law in a book, until they were finished, 
 
 25 That Moses commanded the Levites 
 who bore the ark of the covenant of Jeho- 
 vah, saying, 
 
 26 Take this book of the law, *and put it 
 "by the side of the ark of the covenant of 
 Jehovah your God, that it may be there 
 •for a witness against thee. 
 
 27 'For I know thy rebellion, and thy 
 'stiff* neck : behold, while I am yet alive 
 with you this day, ye have been rebellious 
 against Jehovah; and how much more 
 after my death? 
 
 28 If Gather to me all the elders of your 
 tribes, and your officers, that I may speak 
 these words in their ears, d and call heaven 
 and earth to ^testify against them. 
 
 29 For I know that after my death ye 
 will utterly 'corrupt yourselves, and turn 
 aside from the way which I have com- 
 manded you ; and ^vil will befall you ? in 
 the latter days ; because ye will do evil in 
 the sight of Jehovah, to provoke him to 
 anger through the work of your hands. 
 
 30 And Moses "spoke in the hearing of 
 all the congregation of Israel the words of 
 this song until they were ended. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXII. 
 
 1 Moses' song, which setteth forth God's mercy and 
 vengeance. 46 He exhorteth them to set their 
 hearts upon it. 4S God sendeth him up to mount 
 Nebo, to see the land, and die. 
 
 GIVE "ear, O ye heavens, and I will 
 speak ; and hear, O earth, the words 
 of my mouth. 
 
 2 'My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my 
 speech shall distil as the dew, 'as the small 
 rain upon the tender herb, and as the 
 showers upon the grass : 
 
 3 Because I will publish the name of Je- 
 hovah: d ascribe ye greatness to our God. 
 
 4 He is the Rock, ■''his work is perfect : 
 for ^11 his ways are 'just : ft a God of truth 
 and 'without iniquity, just and right is he. 
 
 5 tThey have corrupted themselves, 
 lltheir spot is not the spot of his children : 
 they are a ' 2 deceitful and crooked gene- 
 ration. 
 
 6 Do ye thus "requite Jehovah, O foolish 
 people and unwise ? is not he "thy father 
 that hath "bought thee ? hath he not r made 
 thee, and established thee ? 
 
 7 f Remember the days of old, consider 
 the years of tmany generations : «ask thy 
 father, and he will shew thee; thine el- 
 ders, and they will tell thee. 
 
 8 When the Most High 'divided to the 
 nations their inheritance, when he 'sepa- 
 rated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds 
 of the people according to the number of 
 the children of Israel. 
 
The song of Moses. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXII. 
 
 9 For 'Jehovah's portion is his people; 
 Jacob is the tlot of his inheritance. 
 
 10 He found him "in a desert land, and 
 in 3 a waste, in the howling wilderness ; he 
 [/protected him, he instructed him, he 
 *kept him as the apple of his eye. 
 
 11 'As an eagle 5 rouseth up her nest, 
 fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad 
 her wings, taketh them, beareth them on 
 her wings ; 
 
 12 So Jehovah alone did lead him, and 
 there was no strange god with him., 
 
 13 "He 6 caused him to be borne over the 
 high places of the earth, that he might eat 
 the increase of the fields ; and he made 
 him to suck 'honey out of the rock, and oil 
 out of the flinty rock ; 
 
 14 Butter of 7 cows, and milk of sheep, 
 with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed 
 of Bashan, and ' he'-goats, c with the fat of 
 kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink 
 the pure ''blood of the grape. 
 
 15 If But 'Jeshurun "became fat, and 
 ^kicked : ff thou art 9 become fat, thou art 
 grown thick, thou art covered with fat- 
 ness; then he forsook God who 'made him, 
 and '"despised the *Rock of his salvation. 
 
 16 'They provoked him to jealousy with 
 strange gods, with abominations they pro- 
 voked him to anger. 
 
 17 "They sacrificed to "devils, ||not to 
 God; to gods whom they knew not, to 
 new gods that came newly up, whom your 
 fathers feared not. 
 
 18 "Of the Rock that begot thee thou art 
 unmindful, and hast "forgotten God that 
 formed thee. 
 
 19 'And when Jehovah saw it, he ^de- 
 spised them, 'because of the provoking of 
 his sons, and of his daughters. 
 
 20 And he said, r I will nide my face from 
 them, I will see what their end shall be: 
 for they are a 13 foolish generation, 'chfldren 
 in whom is no "faithfulness. 
 
 21 'They have moved me to jealousy with 
 that which is not God ; they have provok- 
 ed me to anger "with their vanities : and *I 
 will move them to jealousy with those who 
 are not a people ; I will provoke them to 
 anger with a foolish nation. 
 
 22 For "a fire is kindled in mine anger, 
 and ilshall burn to the lowest 15 hell, and 
 llshall consume the earth with its increase, 
 and set on fire the foundations of the 
 mountains. 
 
 23 I will z heap mischiefs upon them ; "I 
 will spend mine arrows upon them. 
 
 24 They shall be 16 exhausted with hunger, 
 and devoured with tburning "pestilence, 
 and with bitter "contagion: I will also 
 send 'the teeth of beasts upon them, with 
 the poison of serpents of the dust. 
 
 25 "The sword without, and terror twith- 
 in, shall tdestroy both the young man and 
 the virgin, the suckling also with the man 
 of gray hairs. 
 
 26 d I said, I would 19 sweep them away, I 
 would make the remembrance of them to 
 cease from among men; 
 
 27 Were it not that I feared the wrath 
 of the enemy, lest their adversaries 'should 
 ^mistake, and lest they should 'say, ||Our 
 hand is high, and Jehovah hath not done 
 all this. 
 
 28 For they are a nation void of counsel, 
 'neither is there any understanding in them.

 Tlie song of Moses. 
 
 29 "Oh that they were wise, that they 
 understood this, Hhat they would consider 
 their latter end ! 
 
 30 How should *one chase a thousand, 
 and two put ten thousand to flight, except 
 their Rock 'had sold them, and Jehovah 
 had 21 given them up ? 
 
 31 For m their rock is not as our Rock, 
 "even our enemies themselves being judges : 
 
 32 For "their vine \\is of the vine of Sodom, 
 and of the fields of Gomorrah : their grapes 
 are grapes of ^poppy, their clusters are 
 bitter : 
 
 33 Their wine is 'the poison of ^serpents, 
 and the ^deadly 'venom of asps. 
 
 34 Is not this r laid up in store with me, 
 and sealed up among my treasures ? 
 
 35 'To me belongeth vengeance, and re- 
 compense; their foot shall slide in due 
 time : for 'the day of their calamity is at 
 hand, and the things that ^are prepared 
 for them make haste. 
 
 36 "For Jehovah shall judge his people, 
 x and shall repent for his servants ; when 
 he seeth that their tpower is gone, and 
 Hhere 2s are none bond, or free. 
 
 37 And he shall say, *Where are their 
 gods, their rock in whom they trusted, 
 
 38 Which did eat the fat of their sacri- 
 fices, and drank the wine of their drink- 
 offerings ? let them rise up and help you, 
 and be tyour protection, 
 
 39 See now that °I, even I am he, and 
 there is no god with me: C I kill, and I 
 
 make alive; 1 27 dash in pieces, and I heal: 
 neither is there any that can deliver out 
 of my hand. 
 
 40 ''For I lift up my hand to heaven, and 
 say, I live for ever. 
 
 41 c If I whet my 2S flashing sword, and my 
 hand take hold on judgment; /I will ren- 
 der vengeance to mine enemies, and will 
 Recompense them that hate me. 
 
 42 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 30 chief of the "leaders 
 of the enemy. 
 
 43 || 'Rejoice, O ye nations, with his peo- 
 ple : for he will *avenge the blood or his 
 servants, and 'will render vengeance to his 
 adversaries, and "will be merciful to his 
 land, and to his people. 
 
 44 If And Moses came and spoke all the 
 words of this song in the 31 hearing of the 
 people, he and ^Joshua the son of Nun. 
 
 45 And Moses made an end of speaking 
 all these words to all Israel : 
 
 46 And he said to them, "Set your hearts 
 to all the words which I testify among 
 you this day, which ye shall command 
 your children to observe ' and' to do, all 
 the words of this law. 
 
 47 For it is not a vain thing for you : "be- 
 cause it is your life; and through this 
 thing ye shall prolong your days in the 
 land whither ye go over Jordan to possess it. 
 
 48 p And Jehovah spoke to Moses that 
 same day, saying, 
 
 49 M Go thou up to this 'mountain Aba- 
 rim, to mount Nebo, which is in the land 
 of Moab, that is over against Jericho ; and 
 behold the land of Canaan which I give to 
 the children of Israel for a possession : 
 
 50 And die in the mount whither thou 
 goest up, and be gathered to thy people 
 
 157 
 
The prophecy of Moses 
 
 as 'Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, 
 and was gathered to his people : 
 
 51 Because 'ye trespassed against me 
 among the children of Israel at the waters 
 of || Meribah-Kadesh, in the 34 desert of 
 Zin ; because ye ^reverenced me not in 
 the midst of the children of Israel. 
 
 52 "Yet thou shalt see the land before 
 thee, but thou shalt not go thither to the 
 land which I give the children of Israel. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXIII. 
 
 1 The majesty of God. 6 The blessings of the twelve 
 tribes. 26 The excellency of Israel. 
 
 AND this is "the blessing wherewith 
 Moses 'the man of God blessed the 
 children of Israel before his death. 
 
 2 And he said, c Jehovah came from Si- 
 nai, and rose up from Seir to them; he 
 shined forth from mount Paran, and he 
 came with d ten thousands of saints.: from 
 his right hand went ta fiery law for them. 
 
 3 Yea, e he loved the people ; 'all his saints 
 are in thy hand : and they g sat down at thy 
 feet ; every one shall 'receive of thy words. 
 _ 4 'Moses commanded us a law ; k even the 
 inheritance of the congregation of Jacob. 
 
 5 And he was 'king m m Jeshurun, when 
 the heads of the people and the tribes of 
 Israel were gathered together. 
 
 6 If Let Reuben live, and not die ; and 
 let not his men be few. 
 
 7 If And this is the blessing of Judah : 
 and he said, Hear, Jehovah, the voice of 
 Judah, and bring him to his people : "let 
 his hands be sufficient for him, and be 
 thou "a help to him from his enemies. 
 
 8 1J And of Levi he said, T Let thy 'Per- 
 fections and thy 2 Lights be with thy holy 
 one, 'whom thou didst prove at Massah, 
 and with whom thou didst strive at the 
 waters of Meribah ; 
 
 9 Who said to his father and to his mo- 
 ther, I have not 'seen him, 'neither did he 
 acknowledge his brethren, nor know his 
 own children: for 'they have observed thy 
 word, and kept thy covenant. 
 
 10 || "They snail teach Jacob thy judg- 
 ments, and Israel thy law ; || *they shall 
 put incense tbefore thee, ^and whole burnt 
 sacrifice upon thine altar. 
 
 11 Bless, Jehovah, his substance, and 
 'accept the work of his hands : 3 dash in 
 pieces the loins of them that rise against 
 him, and of them that hate him, that they 
 rise not again. 
 
 12 If And of Benjamin he said, The be- 
 loved of Jehovah shall dwell in safety by 
 him ; and JEHO VJ1H shall cover him all 
 the day long, and he shall dwell between 
 his shoulders. 
 
 13 If And of Joseph he said, "Blessed of 
 Jehovah be his land, with the precious 
 things of heaven, with 'the dew, and with 
 the deep that coucheth beneath, 
 
 14 And with the precious fruits brought 
 forth by the sun, and with the precious 
 things tput forth by the t 4 moon, 
 
 15 And with the chief things of 'the an- 
 cient mountains, and with the precious 
 things ''of the lasting hills, 
 
 16 And with the precious things of the 
 earth and fulness thereof, and with the good 
 will of e him that dwelt in the bush : let the 
 blessing 'come upon the head of Joseph, 
 and upon the top of the head of him that 
 was separated from his brethren.

 the people together to the end s of the earth : 
 and *they are the ten thousands of Ephraim,

 18 H And of Zebulun he said, 'Rejoice, 
 Zebulun, in thy going out; and Issachar, 
 in thy tents. 
 
 19 They shall ""call the people to the 
 mountain; there "they shall offer sacrifices 
 of righteousness : for they shall suck of

 20 1f And of Gad he said, Blessed be he 
 that "enlargeth Gad : he dwelleth as a lion, 
 and teareth the arm with the crown of the 
 head. 
 
 21 And p he provided the first part for 
 himself, because there, in a portion of the 
 lawgiver, was he tseated: and «he came

 tali, "satisfied with favour, and full with 
 the blessing of Jehovah, 'possess thou the

 be blessed with children; let him be ac-

 him. 10 The praise of Moses.

 Moab, "to the mountain of Nebo, to 
 the top of ||Pisgah, that is over against 
 Jericho : and Jehovah 'shewed him all the

 of Judah, ''to the 'western sea, 
 
 3 And the south, and the 2 region of the

 4 And Jehovah said to him, 'This is the

 THE BOOK OF JOSHUA. 
 
 CHAPTER I. 
 
 1 JEHOVAH appointeth Joshua to succeed Moses. 3 
 The borders of the promised land. 5, 9 God pro- 
 miseth to assist Joshua. 8 He giveth him instruc- 
 tions. 10 He prepareth the people to pass over 
 Jordan. 12 Joshua putteth the two tribes and half 
 in mind of their promise to Moses. 16 They pro- 
 mise him fealty. 
 
 NOW after the death of Moses, the ser- 
 vant of Jehovah, it came to pass, that 
 Jehovah spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, 
 Moses' "minister, saying, 
 
 2 'Moses my servant is dead ; now there- 
 fore arise, go over this Jordan, thou and 
 all this people, to the land which I do give 
 to them, even to the children of Israel. 
 
 3 c Every place that the sole of your foot 
 shall tread upon, that have I given to you, 
 as I said to Moses. 
 
 4 ''From the Mesert and this Lebanon 
 even to the great river, the river Euphrates, 
 all the land of the Hittites, and to the 
 great sea towards the going down of the 
 sun, shall be your territory. 
 
 5 'There shall not any man be able to 
 stand before thee all the days of thy life: 
 'as I was with Moses, so g I will be with 
 thee : h I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee 
 
 'Be strong and of *

 good courage: for 
 ||to this people shalt thou divide for an in- 
 heritance the land which I swore to their 
 fathers to give them. 
 
 7 Only be thou strong and very courage- 
 ous, that thou mayest observe to do accord- 
 ing to all the law 'which Moses my ser- 
 vant commanded thee : 'turn not from it to 
 the right hand or to the left, that thou may- 
 est Uprosper whithersoever thou goest. 
 
 8 ""This book of the law shall not depart 
 out of thy mouth ; but "thou shalt meditate 
 therein day and night, that thou mayest 
 observe to do according to all that is writ- 
 ten therein : for then thou shalt make thy 
 way prosperous, and then thou shalt ||have 
 good success. 
 
 9 "Have not I commanded thee? Be 
 strong and of 5 good courage ; ''be not 
 afraid, neither be thou dismayed : for Je- 
 hovah thy God is with thee whithersoever 
 thou goest. 
 
 10 If Then Joshua commanded the officers 
 of the people, saying, 
 
 11 Pass through the host and command 
 the people, saying, Prepare you victuals ; 
 for 'within three days ye shall pass over 
 this Jordan, to go in to possess the land 
 which Jehovah your God giveth you to 
 possess it.

 12 If And to the Reubenites, and to the

 13 Remember the word which Moses 
 the servant of Jehovah commanded you, 
 saying, Jehovah your God hath given you 
 rest, and hath given you this land. 
 
 14 Your wives, your little ones, and your 
 cattle shall remain in the land which Mo- 
 ses gave you on this side Jordan ; but ye 
 shall pass before your brethren armed, all 
 the mighty men of valour, and help them ; 
 
 15 Until Jehovah ' shall' have given your 
 brethren rest, as he hath given you, and 
 they also ' shall' have possessed the land 
 which Jehovah your God giveth them : 
 'then ye shall return to the land of your 
 possession, and 6 possess it, which Moses 
 Jehovah's servant gave you on this side 
 Jordan towards the sun-rising. 
 
 16 If And they answered Joshua saying, 
 All that thou commandest us, we will do, 
 and whithersoever thou sendest us, we 
 will go. 
 
 17 According as we hearkened to Moses 
 in all things, so will we hearken to thee : 
 only Jehovah thy God 'be with thee, as 
 he was with Moses. 
 
 18 Whoever he be that doth rebel against 
 thy commandment, and will not hearken 
 to thy words in all that thou commandest 
 him, he shall be put to death: only be 
 strong and of 7 good courage. 
 
 CHAPTER II. 
 
 1 Rahab receiveth and concealeth the two spies sent 
 from Shittim. 8 The covenant between her and 
 them. 23 Their return and relation. 
 
 AND Joshua the son of Nun ||sent "out 
 of Shittim two men to spy secretly, 
 saying, Go view the land, even Jericho. 
 And they went, and 'came into a harlot's 
 house, named "Rahab, and tlodged there. 
 
 2 And d it was told the king of Jericho, 
 saying, Behold, there came men in hither 
 to-night of the children of Israel, to search 
 out the country. 
 
 3 And the king of Jericho sent to Rahab, 
 saying, Bring forth the men that are come 
 to thee, who have entered thy house : 
 
 for they 'are come to search out all the 
 country. 
 
 4 'And the woman took the two men, and 
 hid them, and said thus, There came men 
 to me, but I 'knew not whence they were: 
 
 5 And it came to pass about the time of 
 shutting of the gate, when it was dark, 
 that the men went out : whither the men 
 
 159 
 
JRahab concealeth the. spies. 
 
 went, I 3 know not; pursue after them 
 quickly ; for ye ''will overtake them. 
 
 6 But 'she had brought them up to the 
 roof of the house, and c hidden them with 
 the stalks of flax, which she had laid in 
 order upon the roof. 
 
 7 And the men pursued after them the 
 way to Jordan to the fords : and as soon 
 as they who pursued after them were gone 
 out, they shut the gate. 
 
 8 If And before they were lain down, she 
 came up to them upon the roof; 
 
 9 And she said to the men, I know that 
 Jehovah hath given you the land, and that 
 r vour terror is fallen upon us, and that all 
 the inhabitants of the land tfaint because 
 of you.- 
 
 10 For we have heard how Jehovah "dried 
 up the water of the Red sea for you, when 
 ye came out of Egypt ; and 'what ye did 
 to the two kings of the Amorites that were 
 on the other side Jordan, Sihon and Og, 
 whom ye utterly destroyed. 
 
 11 And as soon as we had 'heard, 6 'our 
 hearts did melt, neither tdid there remain 
 any more courage in any man, because of 
 you : for "Jehovah your God, he is God in 
 heaven above, and in earth beneath. 
 
 12 Now therefore, I pray you, "swear to 
 me by Jehovah, since I have shewed you 
 kindness, that ye will also shew kindness 
 to "my father's house, and p give me a true 
 'token : 
 
 13 And that ye will save alive my father, 
 and my mother, and my brethren, and my 
 sisters, and all that they have, and deliver 
 our lives from death. 
 
 14 And the men answered her, Our life 
 tfor yours, if ye utter not this our business. 
 And it shall be, when Jehovah hath given 
 us the land, that ? we will deal kindly and 
 truly with thee. 
 
 15 Then she 'let them down by a cord 
 through the window : for her house was 
 upon the town-wall, and she dwelt upon 
 the wall. 
 
 16 And she said to them, 8 Go ye to the 
 mountain, lest the pursuers meet you ; and 
 hide yourselves there three days, until the 
 pursuers be returned : and afterward may 
 ye go your way. 
 
 17 And the men said to her, We will be 
 'blameless of this thine oath which thou 
 hast made us swear. 
 
 18 'Behold, when we come into the land, 
 thou shalt bind this line of 9 crimson thread 
 in the window which thou didst let us down 
 by : "and thou shalt tbring thy father, and 
 thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy 
 father's household home to thee. 
 
 19 And it shall be, that whoever 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 whoever 
 shall be with thee in the house, *his blood 
 shall be on our head, if any hand be upon 
 him. 
 
 20 And if thou utter this our business, 
 then we will be l0 clear from thine oath 
 which thou hast made us swear. 
 
 21 And she said, According to yourwords, 
 so be it. And she sent them away, and 
 they departed : and she bound the "crim- 
 son line in the window. 
 
 22 And they went, and came to the moun- 
 tain, and abode there three days, until the

 23 \ So the two men returned, and de- 
 scended from the mountain, and passed 
 over, and came to Joshua the son ot Nun, 
 and told him all things that befel them : 
 
 24 And they said to Joshua, 12 Thus »Je- 
 hovah hath delivered into our hands all 
 the land ; for even all the inhabitants of 
 the country do tfaint because of us. 
 
 CHAPTER III. 
 
 1 Joshua cometh to Jordan. 2 The officers instruct 
 the people for the passage. 7 JEHOVAH encou- 
 rageth Joshua. 9 Joshua encourageth the people. 
 14 The waters of Jordan are divided. 
 
 AND Joshua rose early in the morn- 
 ing; and they removed "from Shittim, 
 and came to Jordan, he and all the child- 
 ren of Israel, and lodged there before they 
 passed oyer. 
 
 2 And it came to pass 'after three days, 
 that the officers went through the host ; 
 
 3 And they commanded the people, say- 
 ing, 'When ye see the ark of the cove- 
 nant of Jehovah your God, d and the priests 
 the Levites bearing it, then ye shall re- 
 move from your place, and go after it. 
 
 4 e Yet there shall be a space between you 
 and it, about two thousand cubits by mea- 
 sure : come not near to it, that ye may 
 know the way by which ye must go ; for 
 ye have not passed this tway heretofore. 
 
 5 And Joshua said to the people, ^'Prepare 
 yourselves: for to-morrow Jehovah will 
 do wonders among you. 
 
 6 And Joshua spoke to the priests, say- 
 ing, ff Take up the ark of the covenant, and 
 pass over before the people. And they took 
 up the ark of the covenant, and went be- 
 fore the people. 
 
 7 *[f And Jehovah said to Joshua, This 
 day will I begin to "magnify thee in the 
 sight of all Israel, that they may know that 
 'as I was with Moses, so I will be with 
 thee. 
 
 8 And thou shalt command *the priests 
 that bear the ark of the covenant, saying, 
 When ye are come to the brink of the 
 water of Jordan, 'ye shall stand still in 
 Jordan. 
 
 9 If And Joshua said to the children of 
 Israel, Come hither, and hear the- words 
 of Jehovah your God. 
 
 10 And Joshua said, By this ye shall know 
 that m the living God is among you, and 
 that he will 2 surely "drive out from before 
 you the- Canaanites, and the Hittites, and 
 the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and the 
 Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the 
 Jebusites. 
 
 11 Behold, the ark of the covenant of 
 o3 the Lord of all the earth passeth over 
 before you into Jordan. 
 
 12 Now therefore p take you twelve men 
 out of the tribes of Israel, out of every 
 tribe a man. 
 
 13 And it shall come to pass, 'as soon as 
 the soles of the feet of the priests that bear 
 the ark of Jehovah, 'the Lord of all the 
 earth, shall rest in the waters of Jordan, 
 that the waters of Jordan shall be cut off 
 from the waters that come down from 
 above ; and they 'shall stand *in a heap. 
 
 14 If And it came to pass, when the peo- 
 ple removed from their tents to pass over 
 
The waters of Jordan divided. 
 
 CHAPTERS IV. V. Twelve stones set up for a memorial. 
 
 Jordan, and the priests bearing the 'ark of 
 the covenant before the people ; 
 
 15 And as they that bore the ark were 
 come to Jordan, and "the feet of the priests 
 that bore the ark were dipped in the brim 
 of tlie water, (for "Jordan overfloweth all 
 its banks "all the time of harvest,) 
 
 16 That the waters which came down 
 from above stood and rose up 'in a heap 
 very far from the city Adam, that is be- 
 side z 6 Zarethan ; and those that came down 
 "towards the sea of the plain, even 'the salt 
 sea, failed, and were cut off: and the peo- 
 ple passed over right against Jericho. 
 
 17 And the priests that bore the ark of 
 the covenant of Jehovah stood firm on 
 dry ground in the midst of Jordan, c and 
 all the Israelites passed over on dry ground, 
 until all the people 'had quite passed over 
 Jordan. 
 
 CHAPTER IV. 
 
 1 Twelve men are appointed to take twelve stones for 
 a memorial out of Jordan. 9 Twelve other stones 
 are set up in the midst of Jordan. 10, 19 The 
 people pass over. 14 God magnifieth Joshua. 20 
 The twelve stones are pitched in Gilgal. 
 
 AND it came to pass, when all the peo- 
 ple l had quite passed "over Jordan, 
 that Jehovah spoke to Joshua, saying, . 
 
 2 ''Take you twelve men out of the peo- 
 ple, out of 2 each tribe a man, 
 
 3 And command ye them, saying, Take 
 you hence out of the midst of Jordan, out 
 of the place where the priests' feet stood 
 firm, twelve stones, and ye shall carry 
 them over with you, and leave them in 
 d the lodging-place where ye shall lodge 
 this night. 
 
 4 Then Joshua called the twelve men, 
 whom he had prepared of the children of 
 Israel, out of 3 each tribe a man : 
 
 5 And Joshua said to them, Pass over be- 
 fore the ark of Jehovah your God into the 
 midst of Jordan, and take you up 4 each 
 man of you a stone upon his shoulder, ac- 
 cording to the number of the tribes of the 
 children of Israel : 
 
 6 That this may be a sign among you, that 
 'when your children ask s tin time to come, 
 saying, What mean ye by these stones ? 
 
 7 Then ye shall answer them, That the 
 waters of Jordan were cut off before the 
 ark of the covenant of Jehovah ; when it 
 passed over Jordan, the waters of Jordan 
 were cut oft': and these stones shall be for 
 *a memorial to the children of Israel for 
 ever. 
 
 8 And the children of Israel did so as 
 Joshua commanded, and took up twelve 
 stones out of the midst of Jordan, as Je- 
 hovah spoke to Joshua, according to the 
 number of the tribes of the children of Is- 
 rael, and carried them over with them to 
 the place where they lodged, and laid them 
 down there. 
 
 9 And Joshua set up twelve stones in the 
 midst of Jordan, in the place where the 
 feet of the priests who bore the ark of the 
 covenant stood : and they are there to this 
 day. 
 
 10 ^ For the priests who bore the ark 
 stood in the midst of Jordan, until every 
 thing was finished that Jehovah ' had' com- 
 manded Joshua to speak to the people, ac- 
 cording to all that Moses commanded Jo- 
 shua: and the people hasted and passed over.

 11 And it came to pass, when all the 
 people were 6 quite passed over, that the 
 ark of Jehovah passed over, and the priests 
 in the presence of the people. 
 
 12 And *the children of Reuben, and the 
 children of Gad, and half the tribe of Ma- 
 nasseh, passed over armed before the child- 
 ren of Israel, as Moses spoke to them : 
 
 13 About forty thousand Uprepared for 
 war, passed over before Jehovah to battle, 
 to the plains of Jericho. 
 
 14 If On that day Jehovah 'magnified 
 Joshua in the sight of all Israel, and they 
 feared him as they feared Moses, all the 
 days of his life. 
 
 15 And Jehovah spoke to Joshua, saying, 
 
 16 Command the priests that bear *the 
 ark of the testimony, that they come up 
 out of Jordan. 
 
 17 Joshua therefore commanded the 
 priests, saying, Come ye up out of Jordan. 
 
 18 And it came to pass, when the priests 
 that bore the ark of the covenant of Jeho- 
 vah were come up out of the midst of Jor- 
 dan, and the soles of the priests' feet were 
 tlifted up to the dry land, that the waters 
 of Jordan returned to their place, 'and 
 tflowed over all its banks, as they did be- 
 fore. 
 
 19 1f And the people came up out of Jor- 
 dan on the tenth day of the first month, 
 and encamped ""in Gilgal, in the east bor- 
 der of Jericho. 
 
 20 And "those twelve stones which they 
 took out of Jordan, did Joshua 7 set up in 
 Gilgal. 
 
 21 And he spoke to the children of Is- 
 rael, saying, "When your children shall 
 ask their fathers tin time to come, saying, 
 What mean these stones ? 
 
 22 Then ye shall let your children know, 
 saying, 'Israel came over this Jordan on 
 dry land. 
 
 23 For Jehovah your God dried up the 
 waters of Jordan from before you, until 
 ye had passed over, as Jehovah your God 
 did to the Red sea, 'which he dried up 
 from before us, until we were gone over : 
 
 24 "That all the people of the earth might 
 know the hand of Jehovah, that it is 'mighty : 
 that ye might 'fear Jehovah your God tfor 
 ever. 
 
 CHAPTER V. 
 
 1 The Canaanites are afraid. 2 Joshua reneweth 
 circumcision. 10 The passover is kept at Gilgal. 
 12 Manna ceaseth. 13 An Angel appeareth to 
 Joshua. 
 
 AND it came to pass, when all the kings 
 of the Amorites who were on the side 
 of Jordan westward, and all the kings of 
 the Canaanites "who were by the sea, *heard 
 that Jehovah had dried up the waters of 
 Jordan from before the children of Israel, 
 until we had passed over, that their heart 
 melted; 'neither was there 'courage in them 
 any more, because of the children of Israel. 
 
 2 ^f At that time Jehovah said to Joshua, 
 Make thee sharp knives, and circumcise 
 again the children of Israel the second 
 time. 
 
 3 And Joshua make him sharp knives, 
 and circumcised the children of Israel at 
 ||the hill of the foreskins. 
 
 4 And this is the cause why Joshua did 
 circumcise : 'All the. people that came out 
 of Egypt, that were males, even all the men 
 
 161 
 
Joshua reneweth circumcision. 
 
 of war died in the Mesert by the way, 
 after they came out of Egypt. 
 
 5 Now all the people that came out were 
 circumcised ; but all the people that were 
 born in the Mesert by the way as they came 
 forth out of Egypt, *those they had not 
 circumcised. 
 
 6 For the children of Israel walked 'forty 
 years in the Mesert, till all the people that 
 were men of war who came out of Egypt 
 were consumed, because they obeyed not 
 the voice of Jehovah : to whom Jehovah 
 swore that «he would not shew them the 
 land which Jehovah swore to their fathers 
 that he would give us, *a land that floweth 
 with milk and honey. 
 
 7 And 'their children, whom he raised 
 up in their stead, them Joshua circumcised : 
 for they were uncircumcised, because they 
 had not circumcised them by the way. 
 
 8 And it came to pass twhen they had 
 done circumcising all the people, that they 
 abode in their places in the camp, Hill they 
 were whole. 
 
 9 And Jehovah said to Joshua, This day 
 have I rolled away 'the reproach of Egypt 
 from off you : Wherefore the name of the 
 place is called || m Gilgal to this day. 
 
 10 f And the children of Israel encamp- 
 ed in Gilgal, and kept the passover "on the 
 fourteenth day of the month at 6 evening, 
 in the plains of Jericho. 
 
 11 And they did eat of the 'produce of 
 the land on the morrow after the passover, 
 unleavened cakes and parched corn in the 
 same day. 
 
 12 If And "the manna ceased on the mor- 
 row after they had eaten of the produce 
 of the land ; neither had the children of 
 Israel manna any more ; but they did eat 
 of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year 
 
 13 ^J And it came to pass when Joshua 
 was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes 
 and looked, and behold, there stood p a 
 man over against him «with his sword 
 drawn in his hand: and Joshua went to 
 him, and said to him, Art thou for us, or 
 for our adversaries ? 
 
 14 And he said, Nay; but as || 9 command- 
 er of the host of Jehovah am I now come. 
 And Joshua 'fell on his face to the earth, 
 and '"worshipped, and said to him, What 
 saith my lord to his servant? 
 
 15 And the "commander of Jehovah's 
 host said to Joshua, 'Loose thy shoe from 
 off thy foot, for the place whereon thou 
 standest is holy : and Joshua did so. 
 
 CHAPTER VI. 
 
 1 Jericho is shut up. 2 God instructeth Joshua how 
 to besiege it. 12 The city is encompassed. 17 It 
 must be accursed. 20 The walls fall down. 22 
 Rahab is saved. 26 The builder of Jericho is cursed. 
 
 NOW Jericho twas 'closely shut up, be- 
 cause of the children ot Israel : none 
 went out, and none came in. 
 
 2 And Jehovah said to Joshua, See, °I 
 have given into thy hand Jericho, and the 
 *king thereof, and the mighty men of valour. 
 
 3 And ye shall encompass the city, all ye 
 men of war, and go round about the city 
 once : thus shalt thou do six days. 
 
 4 And seven priests shall bear before the 
 ark seven * alarm' -'trumpets : 2 and the 
 seventh day ye shall compass the city 
 seven times, and ''the priests shall blow 
 with the trumpets.

 pass on before the ark of Jehovah. 
 
 8 ^ And it came to pass, when Joshua 
 had spoken to the people, that the seven 
 priests bearing the seven ' alarm'-trumpets 
 5 passed on before Jehovah, and blew with 
 the trumpets : and the ark of the covenant 
 of Jehovah followed them. 
 
 9 If And the armed men went before the 
 priests that blew with the trumpets, 'and the 
 trere-ward came after the ark, the priests 
 going on, and blowing with the trumpets. 
 
 10 And Joshua had commanded the peo- 
 ple, saying, Ye shall not shout, nor tmake 
 any noise with your voice, neither shall 
 any word proceed out of your mouth, un- 
 til the day I bid you shout, then shall ye 
 shout. 
 
 11 So the ark of Jehovah compassed the 
 city, going about it once : and they came 
 into the camp, and lodged in the camp. 
 
 12 ^f And Joshua rose early in the morn- 
 ing, 'and the priests took up the ark of 
 Jehovah. 
 
 13 And seven priests bearing seven 
 'alarm'-trumpets 6 before the ark of Je- 
 hovah went on continually, and blew with 
 the trumpets : and the armed men went 
 before them; but the rere-ward came after 
 the ark of Jehovah, the priests going on, 
 and blowing with the trumpets. 
 
 14 And the second day they compassed 
 the city once, and returned into the camp. 
 So they did six days. 
 
 15 And it came to pass on the seventh 
 day, that they rose early about the dawn- 
 ing of the day, and compassed the city 
 after the same manner seven times : only 
 on that day they compassed the city seven 
 times. 
 
 16 And it came to pass at the seventh 
 time, when the priests blew with the 
 trumpets, Joshua said to the people, Shout; 
 for Jehovah hath given you the city. 
 
 17 ^[ And the city shall be [(accursed, 
 even it, and all that are therein, to Jeho- 
 vah : only Rahab the harlot shall live, she 
 and all that are with her in the house, be- 
 cause *she hid the messengers that we sent. 
 
 18 And ye, * 7 by all means keep yourselves 
 from the accursed thing, lest ye make 
 yourselves accursed, when ye take of the 
 accursed thing, and make the camp of Is- 
 rael a curse, 'and trouble it. 
 
 19 But all the silver, and gold, and ves- 
 sels of brass and iron, are tconsecrated to 
 Jehovah: they shall come into the trea- 
 sury of Jehovah. 
 
 20 So the people shouted when the priests 
 blew with the trumpets: and it came to 
 pass, when the people heard the sound of 
 the trumpet, and the people shouted with 
 a great shout, that *the wall fell down tflat, 
 
Jericho taken and destroyed. 
 
 so that the people went up into the city, 
 every man straight before him, and they 
 took the city. 
 
 21 And they 'utterly destroyed all that 
 was in the city, both man and woman, 
 young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, 
 with the edge of the sword. 
 
 22 But Joshua had said to the two men 
 that had spied out the country, Go into 
 the harlot's house, and bring out thence 
 the woman, and all that she hath, m as ye 
 swore to her. 
 
 23 And the young men that were spies 
 went in, and brought out Rahab, "and Tier 
 father, and her mother, and her brethren, 
 and all that she had ; and they brought out 
 all her tkindred, and left them without the 
 camp of Israel. 
 
 24 And they burnt the city with fire, and 
 all that was therein : "only the silver, and 
 the gold, and the vessels of brass and of 
 iron, they put into the treasury of the house 
 of Jehovah. 
 
 25 And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot 
 alive, and her father's household, and all 
 that she had ; and p she dwelleth in Israel 
 even to this day; because she hid the mes- 
 sengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Je- 
 richo. 
 
 26 T And Joshua 8 put them under an oath 
 at that time, saying, 'Cursed be the man 
 before Jehovah, that riseth up and buildeth 
 this city Jericho : he shall lay the founda- 
 tion thereof 9 by his first-born, and M by his 
 youngest son shall he set up the gates of it. 
 
 27 'So Jehovah was with Joshua; and 
 •his fame was "spread throughout all the 
 country. 
 
 CHAPTER VII. 
 
 I The Israelites are smitten at Ai. 6 Joshua's com- 
 plaint. 10 God instructeth him what to do. 16 
 Achan ie taken by the lot. 19 His confession. 22 
 He and all he had are destroyed in the valley of 
 Achor. 
 
 BUT the children of Israel committed a 
 trespass in the accursed thing: for 
 "IIAchan, the son of Carmi, the son of 
 ||Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of 
 Judah, took of the accursed thing : and 
 the anger of Jehovah was kindled against 
 the children of Israel. 
 
 2 And Joshua sent men from Jericho to 
 Ai, which is beside Beth-aven, on the east 
 side of Beth-el, and spoke to them, saying, 
 Go up and *spy out the country. And the 
 men went up and 'spied out Ai. 
 
 3 And they returned to Joshua, and said 
 to him, Let not all the people go up ; but 
 let tabout two or three tnousana men go up 
 and smite Ai: and make not all the people 
 to labour thither ; for they are but few. 
 
 4 So there went up thither of the people 
 about three thousand men : *and they fled 
 before the men of Ai. 
 
 5 And the men of Ai smote of them about 
 thirty and six men : for they chased them 
 from before the gate even to Shebarim, 
 and smote them ||in the going down : where- 
 fore the hearts of the people melted, and 
 became as water. 
 
 6 IT And Joshua'rent his clothes, and fell 
 to the earth upon his face before the ark 
 of Jehovah until the 'evening, he and the 
 elders of Israel, and 'put dust upon then- 
 heads. 
 
 7 And Joshua said, Alas! O Lord Je-

 The Israelites are smitten at Ai. 
 
 hovah, ^wherefore hast thou at all brought 
 this people over Jordan, to deliver us into 
 the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us ? 
 4 that we had been content, and dwelt 
 on the other side ' of Jordan ! 
 
 8 6 Lord, what shall I say, when Israel 
 turneth their tbacks before their enemies ! 
 
 9 For the Canaanites, and all the inhabit- 
 ants of the land 6 will hear of it, and 7 will 
 compass us round, and *cut off our name 
 from the earth : and "what wilt thou do to 
 thy great name ? 
 
 10 Tf And Jehovah said to Joshua, 8 Arise : 
 wherefore 9 fallest thou thus upon thy face r 
 
 11 'Israel hath sinned, and they have also 
 transgressed my covenant which I com- 
 manded them : *for they have even taken 
 of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, 
 and 'dissembled also, and they have put it 
 even among their own stuff. 
 
 12 ""Therefore the children of Israel could 
 not stand before their enemies, but turned 
 their backs before their enemies, because 
 "they were accursed : neither will I be 
 with you any more, except ye destroy the 
 accursed from among you. 
 
 13 "Arise, ° "prepare the people, and say, 
 * ^Prepare yourselves l3 by to-morrow : for 
 thus saith Jehovah God of Israel, There 
 is an accursed thing in the midst of thee, 
 Israel : thou canst not stand before thine 
 enemies, until ye take away the accursed 
 thing from among you. 
 
 14 In the morning therefore ye shall be 
 brought according to your tribes : and it 
 shall be, that the tribe which Oehovah 
 taketh shall come according to the families 
 thereof; and the family which Jehovah 
 shall take shall come by households ; and 
 the household which Jehovah shall take 
 shall come man by man. 
 
 15 r And it shall be, that he that is taken 
 with the accursed thing shall be burnt with 
 fire, he and all that he hath : because he 
 hath 'transgressed the covenant of Jehovah, 
 and because he 'hath wrought "wickedness 
 in Israel. 
 
 16 1 So Joshua rose up early in the morn- 
 ing, and brought Israel by their tribes ; 
 and the tribe of Judah was taken : 
 
 17 And he brought the family of Judah ; 
 and he took the family of the Zarhites : 
 and he brought the family of the Zarhites 
 man by man ; and Zabdi was taken : 
 
 18 And he brought his household man by 
 man; and Achan the son of Carmi, the 
 son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the 
 tribe of Judah, "was taken. 
 
 19 And Joshua said to Achan, My son, 
 give, I pray thee, glory to Jehovah God 
 of Israel, "and make confession to him; 
 and 'tell me now what thou hast done, hide 
 it not from me. 
 
 20 And Achan answered Joshua, and said, 
 Indeed I have sinned against Jehovah God 
 of Israel, and thus and thus have I done. 
 
 21 When I saw among the spoils a ,5 man- 
 tle of Shinar, and two nundred shekels of 
 silver, and a twedge of gold of fifty she- 
 kels weight, then I coveted them, and took 
 them, and behold, they are '"hidden in the 
 earth in the midst of my tent, and the sil - 
 ver under it. 
 
 22 f So Joshua sent messengers, and they 
 ran to the tent, and behold, it xvas "hidden 
 in his tent, and the silver under it. 
 
 163 
 
r J?ie stratagem for taking Ai. 
 
 23 And they took them out of the midst 
 of the tent, and brought them to Joshua, 
 and to all the children of Israel, and tlaid 
 them out before the Lord. 
 
 24 And Joshua, and all Israel with him, 
 took Achan the son of Zerah, and the sil- 
 ver, and the '"mantle, and the wedge of 
 gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and 
 his oxen, and his asses, and his sheep, and 
 his tent, and all that he had: and they 
 brought them to "the valley of Achor. 
 
 25 And Joshua said, *Why hast thou 
 troubled us? Jehovah shall trouble thee 
 this day. 'And all Israel stoned him with 
 stones, and burned them with fire, after 
 they had stoned them with stones. 
 
 26 And they d raised over him a great 
 heap of stones to this day. So 'Jehovah 
 turned from the fierceness of his anger : 
 wherefore the name of that place was call- 
 ed, The valley of ||Achor to this day. 
 
 CHAPTER VIII. 
 
 1 God encourageth Joshua. 3 The stratagem where- 
 by Ai was taken. 29 The king thereof is hanged. 
 30 Joshua buildeth an altar, 32 writeth the lo.w on 
 stones, 33 propoundeth blessings and cursings. 
 
 AND Jehovah said to Joshua, "Fear not, 
 neither be thou dismayed: take all 
 the people of war with thee, and arise, go 
 up to Ai : see, *I have given into thy hand 
 the king of Ai, and his people, and his city, 
 and his land : 
 
 2 And thou shalt do to Ai and her king, 
 as thou didst to 'Jericho and her king : only 
 d the spoil thereof, and the cattle thereof, 
 shall ye take for a prey to yourselves : lay 
 thee an ambush for the city behind it. 
 
 3 If So Joshua arose, and all the people 
 of war, to go up against Ai : and Joshua 
 chose out thirty thousand mighty men of 
 valour, and sent them away by night. 
 
 4 And he commanded them, saying, Be- 
 hold, 'ye shall lie in wait against the city, 
 even behind the city : go not very far from 
 the city, but be ye all ready : 
 
 5 And I, and all the people that are with 
 me, will approach to the city : and it shall 
 come to pass when they come out against 
 us, as at the first, that Ave will flee before 
 them, 
 
 6 (For they will come out after us) till 
 we have tdrawn them from the city ; for 
 they will say, They flee before us, as at 
 the first: therefore we will flee before them. 
 
 7 Then ye shall rise up from the ambush, 
 and seize upon the city : for Jehovah your 
 God will deliver it into your hand. 
 
 8 And it shall be when ye have taken the 
 city, that ye shall set the city on fire: ac- 
 cording to the commandment of Jehovah 
 shall ye do. ^See, I have commanded you 
 
 9 If Joshua therefore sent them forth ; 
 and they went to lie in ambush, and abode 
 between Beth-el and Ai, on the west side 
 of Ai : but Joshua lodged that night among 
 the people. 
 
 10 And Joshua rose up early in the morn 
 ing, and numbered the people, and went 
 up, he and the elders of Israel, before the 
 people to Ai. 
 
 11 *And all the people ' of war that were 
 with him, went up, and drew nigh, and 
 came before the city, and pitched on the 
 north side of Ai : now there ivas a valley 
 between them and Ai. 
 
 12 And he took about five thousand men,

 Ai is taken and burned 
 
 and set them to lie in ambush between 
 Beth-el and Ai, on the west side ||of the 
 city. 
 
 13 And when they had set the people, 
 even all the host that was on the north of 
 the city, and ttheir Hers in wait on the 
 west of the city, Joshua went that night 
 into the midst of the valley. 
 
 14 ^ And it came to pass when the king 
 of Ai saw it, that they hastened, and rose 
 up early, and the men of the city went out 
 against Israel to battle, he and all his peo- 
 ple, at a time appointed, before the plain : 
 but he ,2 knew not that there ivere liers in 
 ambush against him behind the city. 
 
 15 And Joshua and all Israel *made as if 
 they were beaten before them, and fled by 
 the way of the s waste region. 
 
 16 And all the people that were in Ai 
 were called together to pursue after them: 
 and they pursued after Joshua, and were 
 drawn away from the city. 
 
 17 And there was not a man left in Ai, 
 or Beth-el, that went not out after Israel : 
 and they left the city open, and pursued 
 after Israel. 
 
 18 And Jehovah said to Joshua, Stretch 
 out the 4 javelin that is in thy hand towards 
 Ai ; for I will give it into thy hand. And 
 Joshua stretched out the Ravelin that he 
 had in his hand towards the city. 
 
 19 And the ambush arose quickly out of 
 their place, and they ran as soon as he had 
 stretched out his hand : and they entered 
 the city, and took it, and hastened, and 
 set the city on fire. 
 
 20 And when the men of Ai looked be- 
 hind them, they saw, and behold , the smoke 
 of the city ascended up to heaven, and 
 they had no tpower to flee this way or that 
 way : and the people that fled to the 
 6 waste region turned back upon the pur- 
 suers. 
 
 21 And when Joshua and all Israel saw 
 that the ambush had taken the city, and 
 that the smoke of the city ascended, then 
 they turned again, and slew the men of Ai. 
 
 22 And the other 7 came out of the city 
 against them ; so they were in the midst of 
 Israel, some on this side, and some on that 
 side: and they smote them, so that they 
 'let none of them remain or escape. 
 
 23 And the king of Ai they took alive, 
 and brought him to Joshua. 
 
 24 And it came to pass when Israel had 
 made an end of slaying all the inhabitants 
 of Ai in the field, in the 8 waste region 
 wherein they chased them, and when they 
 were all fallen 9 by the edge of the sword, 
 until they were consumed, that all the Is- 
 raelites returned to Ai, and smote it with 
 the edge of the sword. 
 
 25 And so it was, that all that fell that 
 day, both of men and women, xvere twelve 
 thousand, even all the men of Ai. 
 
 26 For Joshua drew not his hand back 
 wherewith he stretched out the 10 javelin, 
 until he had utterly destroyed all the in- 
 habitants of Ai. . 
 
 27 "Only the cattle and the spoil of that 
 city Israel took for a prey to themselves, 
 according to the word of Jehovah which 
 he "commanded Joshua. 
 
 28 And Joshua burnt Ai, and made it "a 
 heap for ever, even a desolation to this day. 
 
 29 ^And the king of Ai he hanged on a 
 
The Gibeonites obtain a league, 
 
 tree until "evening : 'and as soon as the 
 sun was down, Joshua commanded that 
 they should take his carcass down from 
 the tree, and cast it at the entering of the 
 gate of the city, and r raise thereon a great 
 heap of stones, tlwi remaineth to this day. 
 
 30 U Then Joshua built an altar to Jeho- 
 vah God of Israel 'in mount Ebal, 
 
 31 As Moses the servant of Jehovah 
 'had' commanded the children of Israel, 
 as it is written in the 'book of the law of 
 Moses, an altar of whole stones, over which 
 no man hath lifted up any iron : and "they 
 offered thereon burnt-offerings to Jeho- 
 vah, and sacrificed 12 thank-ofterings. 
 
 32 U And "he wrote there upon the stones 
 a copy of the law of Moses, which he wrote 
 in the presence of the children of Israel. 
 
 33 And all Israel, and their elders, and 
 officers, and their judges, stood on this 
 side the ark and on that side before the 
 priests the Levites, "who bore the ark of 
 the covenant of Jehovah, as well *the 
 stranger, as he that was born among them ; 
 half of them over against mount Gerizim, 
 and half of them over against mount Ebal ; 
 "as Moses the servant of Jehovah had 
 commanded before, that they should bless 
 the people of Israel. 
 
 34 And afterward 'he read all the words 
 of the law, c the blessings and cursings, 
 according to all that is written in the book 
 of the law. 
 
 35 There was not a word of all that Mo- 
 ses ' had' commanded, which Joshua read 
 not before all the congregation of Israel, 
 d with the women, and the little ones, and 
 'the strangers that t "lived among them. 
 
 CHAPTER IX. 
 
 1 The kings combine against Israel. 3 The Gibeon- 
 ites by craft obtain a league. 16 For which they 
 are condemned to perpetual bondage. 
 
 AND it came to pass, when all the kings 
 who were on this side ' of Jordan, in 
 the hills, and in the 'low country, and in 
 all the Regions of "the great sea over against 
 Lebanon, 'the Hittite, and the Amorite, 
 the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, 
 and the Jebusite heard thereof; 
 
 2 That they "gathered themselves to- 
 gether, to fight with Joshua and with Is- 
 rael, with one t 3 consent. 
 
 3 If And when the inhabitants of ''Gibeon 
 'heard what Joshua had done to Jericho 
 and to Ai, 
 
 4 They did work 4 craftily, and went and 
 provided themselves with food, and took 
 old sacks upon their asses, and * leathern' 
 wine-bottles, old, and rent, and bound up; 
 
 5 And old shoes and 6 patched upon their 
 feet, and old garments upon them ; and all 
 the bread of their provision was dry and 
 'crumbled- 
 
 6 And they went to Joshua -^to the camp 
 at Gilgal, and said to him, and to the men 
 of Israel, We 8 are come from a far country : 
 now therefore make ye a league with us. 
 
 7 And the men of Israel said to the *Hi- 
 vites, 9 Perhaps ye dwell among us; and 
 *how shall we make a league with you ? 
 
 8 And they said to Joshua, ''We are thy 
 servants. And Joshua said to them, Who 
 are ye ? and from whence come ye ? 
 
 9 And they said to him, *From a very far 
 country thy servants are come, because 
 of the name of Jehovah thy God : for we

 have 'heard the fame of him, and all that 
 he did in Egypt. 
 
 10 And m all that he did to the two kings 
 of the Amorites, that were beyond Jordan, 
 to Sihon king of Heshbon, and to Og king 
 of Bashan, which was at Ashtaroth. 
 
 11 Wherefore our elders, and all the in- 
 habitants of our country spoke to us, say- 
 ing, Take victuals twitn you for the jour- 
 ney, and go to meet them, and say to them, 
 We are your servants: therefore now 
 make ye a league with us : 
 
 12 This our bread we took hot for our 
 provision out of our houses on the day we 
 came forth to go to you ; but now, behold, 
 it is dry, and it is '"crumbled : 
 
 13 And these 'leathern' bottles of wine 
 which we filled, were new, and behold, they 
 "are rent: and these our garments and 
 our shoes are become old by reason of the 
 very long journey. 
 
 14 And ||the men took of their victuals, 
 "and asked not counsel 12 from the mouth 
 of Jehovah. 
 
 15 And Joshua "made peace with them, 
 and made a league with them, to let them 
 live : and the princes of the congregation 
 swore to them. 
 
 16 1f And it came to pass at the end of 
 three days after they had made a league 
 with them, that they heard that they were 
 their neighbours, and that they dwelt among 
 them. 
 
 17 And the children of Israel journeyed, 
 and came to their cities on the third day. 
 Now their cities were p Gibeon, and Che- 
 phirah, and Beeroth, and Kirjath-jearim. 
 
 18 And the children of Israel smote them 
 not, 'because the princes of the congrega- 
 tion had sworn to them by Jehovah God 
 of Israel. And all the congregation mur- 
 mured against the princes. 
 
 19 But all the princes said to all the con- 
 gregation, We have sworn to them by Je- 
 hovah God of Israel : now therefore we 
 "cannot touch them. 
 
 20 This we will do to them ; we will even 
 let them live, lest r wrath be upon us, be- 
 cause of the oath which we swore to them. 
 
 21 And the princes said to them, Let 
 them live ; but let them be 'cutters of 
 wood, and drawers of water to all the 
 congregation ; as the princes had 'promised 
 them. 
 
 22 *ff And Joshua called for them, and he 
 spoke to them, saying, Wherefore have ye 
 "deceived us, saying, "We are very far 
 from you ; when x ye dwell among us r 
 
 23 Now therefore ye are " 15 cursed, and 
 there shall tnone of you be freed from be- 
 ing bond-men, and *cutters of wood and 
 drawers of water for the house of my God. 
 
 24 And they answered Joshua, and said, 
 Because it was certainly told thy servants, 
 how that Jehovah thy God "commanded 
 his servant Moses to give you all the land, I 
 and to destroy all the inhabitants of the 
 land from before you, therefore 'we were 
 '"greatly afraid "for our lives because of 
 you, and have done this thing. 
 
 25 And now, behold, we are 'in thy hand : 
 as it seemeth good and right to thee to do 
 to us, do. 
 
 26 And so did he to them, and delivered 
 them out of the hand of the children of 
 Israel, ' so' that they slew them not.

Five kings combine against Gibeon.

 CHAPTER X. 
 
 I Five kings war against Gibeon. 6 Joshua rescueth 
 it. 10 Godfighteth against them with hailstones. 
 12 The sun and moon stand still at the word of 
 Joshua. 16 The five kings are secured in a cave. 
 21 They are brought forth, 24 scornfully used, 26 
 and hanged. 28 Seven kings more are conquered. 
 43 Joshua returneth to Gilgal. 
 
 NOW it came to pass, when Adoni-ze- 
 dek king of Jerusalem had heard how 
 Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly de- 
 stroyed it ; °as he had done to Jericho and 
 her king, so he had done to 5 Ai and her 
 king ; and c how the inhabitants of Gibeon 
 had made peace with Israel, and were 
 among them ; 
 
 2 That they d feared greatly, because Gi- 
 beon was a great city, as one of the troyal 
 cities, and because it was greater than Ai, 
 and all the men thereof were mighty, 
 
 S Wherefore Adoni-zedek king of Jeru- 
 salem sent to Hoham king of Hebron, and 
 to Piram king of Jarmuth, and to Japhia 
 king of Lachish, and to Debir king of Eg- 
 lon, saying, 
 
 4 Come up to me, and help me, that we 
 may smite Gibeon : e for it hath made peace 
 with Joshua and with the children of Israel. 
 
 5 Therefore the five kings of the Amo- 
 rites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of 
 Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of 
 Lachish, the king of Eglon, ^gathered them- 
 selyes together, and went up, they and all 
 their hosts, and encamped before Gibeon, 
 and made war against it. 
 
 6 % And the men of Gibeon sent to Jo- 
 shua g to the camp to Gilgal, saying 
 sake not thy servants; come up 
 quickly, and save us, and help us : for all 
 the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the 
 mountains are gathered together against us. 
 
 7 So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he, 
 and "all the people of war with him, and 
 all the mighty men of valour. 
 
 8 U And Jehovah said to Joshua, 'Pear 
 them not : for I have delivered them into 
 thy hand ; *there shall not a man of them 
 stand before thee. 
 
 9 Joshua therefore came to them sudden- 
 ly, and went up from Gilgal all night. 
 
 10 And Jehovah 'discomfited them be- 
 fore Israel, and slew them with a great 
 slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along 
 the way that goeth up to m Beth-horon, and 
 smote them to "Azekah, and to Makkedah. 
 
 II And it came to pass as they fled from 
 before Israel, and were in the going down 
 to Beth-horon, "that Jehovah cast down 
 great stones from heaven upon them to 
 Azekah, and they died: they were more 
 who died with hailstones than they whom 
 the children of Israel slew with the sword. 
 
 12 If Then spoke Joshua to Jehovah in 
 the day when Jehovah delivered up the 
 Amorites before the children of Israel, and 
 he said in the sight of Israel, ? Sun, tstand 
 thou still upon Gibeon, and thou Moon, in 
 the valley of «Ajalon. 
 
 13 And the sun stood still, and the moon 
 stayed, until the people had avenged them- 
 selves upon their enemies. 'Is not this

 TViey are defeated by Joshua. 
 
 written in the book of HJasher? So the 
 sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and 
 hastened not to go down about a whole day. 
 
 14 And there was 'no day like that before 
 it or after it, that Jehovah hearkened to 
 the voice of man : for 'Jehovah fought for 
 Israel. 
 
 15 If "And Joshua returned, and all Is- 
 rael with him, to the camp to Gilgal. 
 
 16 But these five kings fled, and hid 
 themselves in a cave at Makkedah. 
 
 17 And it was told Joshua, saying, The 
 five kings are found hid in a cave at Mak- 
 kedah. 
 
 18 And Joshua said, Roll great stones 
 upon the mouth of the cave, and set men 
 by it 2 to 3 watch them : 
 
 19 And stay ye not, but pursue after your 
 enemies, and tsmite the hindmost of them ; 
 suffer them not to enter into their cities : 
 for Jehovah your God hath delivered them 
 into your hand. 
 
 20 And it came to pass, when Joshua and 
 the children of Israel had made an end of 
 slaying them with a very great slaughter, 
 till they were consumed, that the rest who 
 remained of them entered into ^fortified 
 cities. 
 
 21 And all the people returned to the 
 camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace: 
 ^noone^ointedhis tongue against any of 
 the children of Israel. 
 
 22 Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of 
 the cave, and bring out those five kings to 
 me out of the cave. 
 
 23 And they did so, and brought forth 
 those five kings to him out of the cave, 
 the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, 
 the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, 
 and the king of Eglon. 
 
 24 And it came to pass, when they brought 
 out those kings to Joshua, that Joshua call- 
 ed for all the men of Israel, and said to 
 the headers of the men of war who went 
 with him, Come near, *put your feet upon 
 the necks of these kings. And they came 
 near, and put their feet upon the necks of 
 them. 
 
 25 And Joshua said to them, *Fear not, 
 nor be dismayed, be strong and of good 
 courage : for "thus shall Jehovah do to all 
 your enemies against whom ye fight. 
 
 26 And afterward Joshua smote them, 
 and slew them, and hanged them on five 
 trees : and they 'were hanging upon the 
 trees until the evening. 
 
 27 And it came to pass at the time of the 
 going down of the sun, that Joshua com- 
 manded, and they 'took them down off 
 the trees, and cast them into the cave 
 wherein they had been 'hidden, and laid 
 great stones m the cave's mouth, which re- 
 main until this very day. 
 
 28 f And that day Joshua took Makke- 
 dah, and smote it with the edge of the 
 sword, and the king thereof he utterly de- 
 stroyed, them and. all the "persons that 
 were therein ; he let none remain : and he 
 did to the king of Makkedah d as he did to 
 the king of Jericho. 
 
 29 Then Joshua passed from Makkedah, 
 and all Israel with him, to Libnah, and 
 fought against Libnah : 
 
 30 And Jehovah delivered it also, and 
 the king thereof, into the hand of Israel : 
 and he smote it with the edge of the sword, 
 
Joshua smiteth 
 
 and all the 9 persons that were therein ; he I 
 let none remain in it ; but did to the king 
 thereof as he did to the king of Jericho. 
 
 31 If And Joshua passed from Libnah, 
 and all Israel with him, to Lachish, and 
 encamped against it, and fought against it: 
 
 32 And Jehovah delivered Lachish into 
 the hand of Israel, who took it on the se- 
 cond day, and smote it with the edge of 
 the sword, and all the "persons that were 
 therein, according to all that he had done 
 to Libnah. 
 
 33 If Then Horam king of Gezer came 
 up to help Lachish; and Joshua smote him 
 and his people, until he had left him none 
 remaining. 
 
 34 ^f And from Lachish Joshua passed to 
 Eglon, and all Israel with him : and they 
 encamped againstit, and fought againstit : 
 
 35 And they took it on that day, and 
 smote it with the edge of the sword, and 
 all the "persons that were therein he ut- 
 terly destroyed that day, according to all 
 that he had done to Lachish. 
 
 36 And Joshua went up from Eglon, and 
 all Israel with him, to 'Hebron; and they 
 fought against it: 
 
 37 And they took it, and smote it with 
 the edge of the sword, and the king there- 
 of, and all the cities thereof, and all the 
 12 persons that were therein ; he left none 
 remaining (according to all that he had 
 done to Eglon) but destroyed it utterly, 
 and all the 13 persons that were therein. 
 
 38 ^f And Joshua returned, and all Israel 
 with him, to ^Debir ; and fought against it: 
 
 39 And he took it, and the king thereof, 
 and all the cities thereof, and they smote 
 them with the edge of the sword, and ut- 
 terly destroyed all the "persons that were 
 therein ; he left none remaining : as he had 
 done to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to 
 the king thereof; as he had done also to 
 Libnah, and to her king. 
 
 40 If So Joshua smote all the country of 
 the "mountains, and of the south, and of 
 the 16 low land, and of the springs, and all 
 their kings : he left none remaining, but 
 utterly destroyed all that breathed, as Je 
 hovah God of Israel ^commanded. 
 
 41 And Joshua smote them from Kadesh 
 barnea even to A Gaza, 'and all the country 
 of Goshen, even to Gibeon. 
 
 42 And all these kings and their land 
 did Joshua take at one time ; ^because Je- 
 hovah God of Israel fought for Israel. 
 
 43 And Joshua returned, and all Israel 
 with him, to the camp to Gilgal.

 4 And they went out, they and all their 
 hosts with them, 4 many people, *even as 
 the sand that is upon the sea-shore in 
 multitude, with horses and chariots very 
 many. 
 
 5 And when all these kings were tmet 
 together, they came and pitched together 
 at the waters of Merom, to fight against 
 Israel. 
 
 6 1[ And Jehovah said to Joshua, 'Be not 
 afraid because of them: for to-m'orrow 
 about this time will I deliver them up all 
 slain before Israel: thou shalt * 5 hamstring 
 their horses,and burn their chariots with fire. 
 
 7 So Joshua came, and all the people of 
 war with him, against them by the waters 
 of Merom suddenly, and they fell upon 
 them. 
 
 8 And Jehovah delivered them into the 
 hand of Israel, who smote them, and chased 
 them to Hgreat Zidon, and to ,8 the hot 
 springs, and to the valley of Mizpeh east- 
 ward; and they smote them, until they 
 left them none remaining. 
 
 9 And Joshua did to them m as Jehovah 
 bade him: he Tiamstringed their horses, 
 and burnt their chariots with fire. 
 
 10 If And Joshua at that time turned back, 
 and took Hazor, and smote the king there- 
 of with the sword : for Hazor formerly had 
 been the head of all those kingdoms. 
 
 11 And they smote all the 'persons that 
 were therein with the edge or the sword, 
 utterly destroying them: there were not 
 tany left to breathe : and he burnt Hazor 
 with fire. 
 
 12 And all the cities of those kings, and 
 all the kings of them, did Joshua take, and 
 smote them with the edge of the sword, 
 and he utterly destroyed them, "as Moses 
 the servant of Jehovah ' had' commanded. 
 
 13 But as w to the cities that stood " tin 
 their strength, Israel burned none of them, 
 12 excepting Hazor only; that did Joshua 
 burn. 
 
 14 And all the spoil of these cities, and 
 the cattle, the children of Israel took for a 
 prey to themselves: but every man they 
 smote with the edge of the sword, until 
 they had destroyed them, neither left they 
 any to breathe. 
 
 15 If °As Jehovah ' had' commanded Mo- 
 ses his servant, so p did Moses command 
 Joshua, and 'so did Joshua: the left no- 
 thing undone of all that Jehovah 'had' 
 commanded Moses. 
 
 16 So Joshua took all that land, 'the 
 13 mountains, and all the south country, 
 'and all the land of Goshen, and the val- 
 ley, and the plain, and the mountain of 
 Israel, and the valley of the same; 
 
 17 " 'From ||the mount Halak, that goeth 
 up to Seir, even to Baal-gad, in the valley 
 of Lebanon under mount Hermon : and 
 "all their kings he took, and smote them, 
 and slew them. 
 
 18 ||Joshua made war a long time with 
 all those kings. 
 
 19 There was not a city that made peace 
 with the children of Israel, "except *the 
 Hivites the inhabitants of Gibeon: all 
 others they took in battle. 
 
 20 For "it was of Jehovah to harden 
 their hearts, that they should come against 
 Israel in battle, that he might destroy them 
 utterly, and that they might have no favour, 
 
The kingdoms subdued 
 
 but that he might destroy them, *as Jeho- 
 vah ' had' commanded Moses. 
 
 21 1J And at that time came Joshua and 
 cut oft' °the Anakims from the mountains, 
 from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and 
 from all the mountains of Judah, and from 
 all the 16 mountains of Israel: Joshua de- 
 stroyed them utterly with their cities. 
 
 22 There were none of the Anakims left 
 in the land of the children of Israel : only 
 in Gaza, in *Gath, 'and in Ashdod, 17 they 
 remained. 
 
 23 So Joshua took the whole land, ''ac- 
 cording to all that Jehovah 'had' said to 
 Moses, and Joshua gave it for an inherit- 
 ance to Israel 'according to their divisions 
 by their tribes. 'And the land rested from 
 war. 
 
 CHAPTER XII. 
 
 1 The two kings whose countries Moses took and 
 disposed of. 7 The one and thirty kings on the 
 other side of Jordan whom Joshua smote. 
 
 NOW these are the kings of the land, 
 whom the children of Israel smote, 
 and possessed their land on the other side 
 'of Jordan, towards the rising of the sun, 
 "from the river Arnon, 4 to mount Hermon, 
 and all the plain on the east : 
 
 2 'Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt 
 in Heshbon, and ruled from Aroer, which 
 is upon the bank of the 'river Arnon, and 
 from the middle of the river, and from half 
 Gilead, even to the ^river Jabbok, which is 
 the border of the children of Ammon ; 
 
 3 And d from the plain to the sea of Kin- 
 neroth on the east, and to the sea of the 
 plain, even the salt sea on the east, 'the 
 way toBeth-jesimoth; and from ||the south, 
 under /3 the springs of Pisgah : 
 
 4 If And *the territory of Og king of Ba- 
 shan, who was of "the remnant of the 
 
 E'ants, 'that dwelt at Ashtaroth and at 
 drei, 
 
 5 And reigned in *mount Hermon, 'and 
 in Salcah, and in all Bashan, ""to the bor- 
 der of the Geshurites, and the Maachath- 
 ites, and half Gilead, the border of S'hon 
 king of Heshbon. 
 
 6 "Them did Moses the servant of Jeho- 
 vah, and the children of Israel smite : and 
 "Moses the servant of Jehovah gave it for 
 a possession to the Reubenites, and the 
 Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh. 
 
 7 If And these are the kings of the coun- 
 try p whom Joshua and the children of Is- 
 rael smote on this side ' of Jordan on the 
 west, from Baal -gad in the valley of Leba- 
 non, even to the mount Halak that goeth 
 up to «Seir; which Joshua 'gave to the 
 tribes of Israel for a possession according 
 to their divisions ; 
 
 8 'In the mountains, and in the valleys, 
 and in the plains, and in the springs, and 
 in the 5 waste region, and in the south coun- 
 try; 'the Hittites, the Amorites, and the 
 Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, 
 and the Jebusites :

 of Ai, which is beside Beth-el, one ;

 CHAPTER XIII. 
 
 1 The bounds of the land not yet conquered. 8 The 
 inheritance of the two tribes and half. 14, 33 JE- 
 HOVAH and his sacrifices are the inheritance of 
 Levi. 15 The bounds of the inheritance of Reuben. 
 22 Balaam slain. 24 The bounds of the inlierit- 
 ance of Gad, 29 and of the half-tribe of Manasseh. 
 
 IVrOW Joshua "was old and 'advanced in 
 -L * years; and Jehovah said to him, Thou 
 art old and Advanced in years, and there 
 remaineth yet very much land tto be pos- 
 sessed. 
 
 2 'This is the land that yet remaineth: 
 'all the 'districts of the Philistines, and all 
 d Geshuri, 
 
 3 'From Sihor, which is before Egypt, 
 even to the borders of Ekron northward, 
 which is counted to the Canaanite: 'five 
 lords of the Philistines; the Gazathites, 
 and the Ashdothites, the Eshkalonites, 
 the Gittites, and the Ekronites ; also *the 
 Avites : 
 
 4 From the south all the land of the Ca- 
 naanites, and ||Mearah 4 of the Sidonians, 
 Ho Aphek to the borders of 'the Amorites : 
 
 5 And the land of 'the Giblites, and all 
 Lebanon towards the sun-rising, 'from 
 Baal-gad under mount Hermon to the 
 entering into Hamath. 
 
 6 All the inhabitants of the hill-country 
 from Lebanon to m5 the hot springs, and all 
 the Sidonians, them "will I drive out from 
 before the children of Israel : only "divide 
 thou it by lot to the Israelites for an inhe- 
 ritance, as I have commanded thee. 
 
 7 Now therefore divide this land for an 
 inheritance to the nine tribes, and the half- 
 tribe of Manasseh, 
 
 8 With whom the Reubenites and the 
 Gadites have received their inheritance, 
 'which Moses gave them, beyond Jordan 
 eastward, even as Moses the servant of 
 Jehovah gave them ; 
 
 9 From Aroer that is upon the bank of 
 the river Arnon, and the city that is in the 
 midst of the 6 river, «and all the plain of 
 Medeba to Dibon ; 
 
 10 And "all the cities of Sihon king of the 
 Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, to the 
 border of the children of Ammon ; 
 
 11 'And Gilead, and the 'territory of the 
 Geshurites and Maachathites, and all 
 
The lots of the two tribes and half. 
 
 mount Hermon, and all Bashan to Sal- 
 cah; 
 
 12 All the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who 
 reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei, who 
 remained of 'the remnant of the giants. 
 "For these did Moses smite, and cast them 
 out. 
 
 13 Nevertheless, the children of Israel 
 expelled *not the Geshurites, nor the Maa- 
 chathites : but the Geshurites and the Maa- 
 chathites dwell among the Israelites until 
 this day. 
 
 14 y Only to the tribe of Levi he gave B no 
 inheritance ; the sacrifices of Jehovah 
 God of Israel made by fire are their in- 
 heritance, l as he said to them. 
 
 15 If And Moses gave to the tribe of the 
 children of Reuben inheritance according 
 to their families. 
 
 16 And their 9 district was "from Aroer 
 that is on the bank of the river Arnon, 
 *and the city that is in the midst ot the 
 I0 river, c and all the plain by Medeba : 
 
 17 Heshbon, and all its cities that are in 
 the plain ; Dibon, and ||Bamoth-baal, and 
 Beth-baal-meon, 
 
 18 ''And Jahaza, and Kedemoth, and 
 Mephaath, 
 
 19 'And Kirjathaim, and ^Sibmah, and 
 Zareth-shahar in the mount of the valley, 
 
 20 And Beth-peor, and fflI the springs of 
 Pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth. 
 
 21 A And all the cities of the plain, and all 
 the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amo- 
 rites who reigned in Heshbon, 'whom Mo- 
 ses smote 'with the princes of Midian, Evi, 
 and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, 
 who were I2 princes of Sihon, dwelling in 
 the country. 
 
 22 If 'Balaam also the son of Beor, the 
 || 13 sooth-sayer, did the children of Israel 
 slay with the sword, among them that 
 were slain by them. 
 
 23 And the border of the children of 
 Reuben was Jordan, and the "district 
 thereof. This was the inheritance of the 
 children of Reuben, after their families, 
 the cities and the villages thereof. 
 
 24 And Moses gave inheritance to the 
 tribe of Gad, even to the children of Gad 
 according to their families. 
 
 25 m And their "district was Jazer, and 
 all the cities of Gilead, "and half the land 
 of the children of Ammon, to Aroer that 
 is before "Rabbah ; 
 
 26 And from Heshbon to Ramath-mizpeh, 
 and Betonim; and from Mahanaim to the 
 border of Debir; 
 
 27 And in the valley, p Beth-haram, and 
 Beth-nimrah, 'and Succoth, and Zaphon, 
 the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of 
 Heshbon, Jordan and l Hts territory, even 
 to the edge r of the sea of Kinneroth, on 
 the other side * of' Jordan eastward. 
 
 28 This is the inheritance of the children 
 of Gad after their families, the cities, and 
 their villages. 
 
 29 If And Moses gave inheritance to the 
 half -tribe of Manasseh : and this was the 
 possession of the half-tribe of the children 
 of Manasseh by their families. 
 
 30 And their "district was from Maha- 
 naim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og 
 king of Bashan, and 'all the towns of Jair, 
 which are in Bashan, threescore cities :

 of the "children of Machir by their families. 
 
 32 These are the countries which Moses 
 did distribute for inheritance in the plains 
 of Moab, on the other side Jordan by Je- 
 richo eastward. 
 
 33 *But to the tribe of Levi, Moses gave 
 not any inheritance : Jehovah God of Is- 
 rael was their inheritance, *as he ' had' 
 said to them. 
 
 CHAPTER XIV. 
 
 I The nine tribes and a half are to have their in- 
 heritance by lot. 6 Caleb by privilege obtainelh 
 Hebron. 
 
 A ND these are the countries which the 
 J -~*- children of Israel inherited in the 
 land of Canaan, "which Eleazar the priest, 
 and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads 
 of the fathers of the tribes of the children 
 of Israel distributed for inheritance to them. 
 
 2 'By lot was their inheritance, as Jeho- 
 vah ' had' commanded by the hand of 
 Moses, for the nine tribes, and/or the half- 
 tribe. 
 
 3 c For Moses had given the inheritance 
 of two tribes and a half-tribe on the other 
 side ' of' Jordan : but to the Levites he 
 gave 'no inheritance among them. 
 
 4 For d the children of Joseph were two 
 tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim : therefore 
 they gave no part to the Levites in the 
 land, 2 except cities to dwell in, with 
 their suburbs for their cattle, and for their 
 substance. 
 
 5 'As Jehovah ' had' commanded Moses, 
 so the children of Israel did, and they di- 
 vided the land. 
 
 6 If Then the children of Judah came to 
 Joshua in Gilgal : and Caleb the son of 
 Jephunneh the ^Kenezite said to him, Thou 
 knowest ff the thing that jEHoyAH said to 
 Moses the man of God concerning me and 
 thee *in Kadesh-barnea. 
 
 7 Forty years old was I when Moses the 
 servant 01 Jehovah 'sent me from Kadesh- 
 barnea to espy out the land ; and I brought 
 him word again as it was in my heart. 
 
 8 Nevertheless, "my brethren that went 
 up with me made the heart of the people 
 melt : but I wholly 'followed Jehovah my 
 God. 
 
 9 And Moses swore on that day, saying, 
 ""Surely the land "whereon thy feet have 
 trodden shall be thine inheritance, and 
 thy children's for ever ; because thou hast 
 wholly followed Jehovah my God. 
 
 10 And now, behold, Jehovah hath kept 
 me alive, "as he said, these forty and five 
 years, even since Jehovah spoke this word 
 to Moses, while the children of Israel 
 twandered in the 3 desert : and now, lo, I 
 am this day fourscore and five years old. 
 
 11 p As yet I am as strong this day, as I 
 ivas in the day 4 when Moses sent me : as 
 my strength was then, even so is my strength 
 now, for war, both 'to go out, and to come in. 
 
 12 Now therefore give me this mountain, 
 whereof Jehovah spoke in that day ; for 
 thou heardest in that day how the Ana- 
 kims were there, and that the cities were 
 great and 5 fortified ; "if so be * that' Jeho- 
 vah will be with me, then 'I shall be able 
 to drive them out, as Jehovah said.

 Hj^HIS then was the lot of the tribe of 
 
 •*■ the children of Judah by their fami- 
 lies ; "even to the border of Edom, the * 'de- 
 sert of Zin southward was the uttermost 
 part of the south. 2 
 
 2 And their south border was from the 
 shore of the salt sea, from the tbay that 
 looketh southward : 
 
 3 And it went out to the south side e to 
 3 the going up of Acrabbim, and passed along 
 to Zm, and ascended up on the south side 
 to Kadesh-barnea, and passed along to 
 Hezron, and went up to Adar, and 4 turned 
 to Karkaa : 
 
 4 From thence it passed ^towards Azmon, 
 and went out to the 6 torrent of Egypt; and 
 the goings out of that "border were at the 
 sea : this shall be your south 'border. 
 
 5 And the east border was the salt sea, 
 even to the end of Jordan : and their bor- 
 der 6 on the north quarter was from the bay 
 of the sea, at the uttermost part of Jordan : 
 
 6 And the border went up to "Beth-hogla, 
 and passed along by the north of Beth-ara- 
 bah; and the border went up / to the stone 
 of Bohan the son of Reuben : 
 
 7 And the border went up towards Debir 
 from «the valley of Achor, and so north- 
 ward looking towards Gilgal, that is before" 
 the going up to Adummim, which is on the 
 south side of the river: and the border 
 passed towards the waters of 9 En-shemesh, 
 and the goings out thereof were at "°En- 
 rogel : 
 
 8 And the border went up 'by the valley 
 of the son of Hinnom, to the south side of 
 the 'Jebusites; the same is Jerusalem: and 
 the border went up to the top of the moun- 
 tain that lieth before the valley of Hinnom 
 westward, which is at the end 'of the 
 valley of the giants northward : 
 
 9 And the border was drawn from the 
 top of the "mountain to m the fountain of 
 the water of'Nephtoah, and went out to 
 the cities of mount Ephron ; and the bor- 
 der was drawn "to Baalah, which is "Kir- 
 jath-jearim : 
 
 10 And the border I2 turned from Baalah 
 westward to mount Seir, and passed along 
 to the side of mount Jearim (which is Che- 
 salon) on the north side, and went down 
 to Beth-shemesh, and passed on to p Tim- 
 nah: 
 
 11 And the border went out to the side 
 of 'Ekron northward : and the border was 
 drawn to Shicron, and passed along to 
 mount Baalah, and went out to Jabneel ; 
 and the goings out of the border were at 
 the sea.

 der of the children of Judah round about, 
 according to their families. 
 
 13 t 'And to Caleb the son of Jephunneh 
 he gave a part among the children of Judah, 
 according to the commandment of Jehovah 
 to Joshua, even '||the city of Arba the fa- 
 ther of Anak, which city is Hebron. 
 
 14 And Caleb drove thence "the three 
 sons of Anak, x Sheshai, and Ahiman, and 
 Talmai, the children of Anak. 
 
 15 And »he went up thence to the inhabit- 
 ants of Debir : and the name of Debir be- 
 fore was Kirjath-sepher. 
 
 16 If z And Caleb said, He that smiteth 
 Kirjath-sepher, and taketh it, to him will 
 I give Achsah my daughter 14 for a wife. 
 
 17 And "Othniel the 'son of Kenaz, the 
 brother of Caleb, took it : and he gave him 
 Achsah his daughter ,5 for a wife. 
 
 18 c And it came to pass, as she came to 
 him, that she moved him to ask of her fa- 
 ther a field. And d she '"alighted from her 
 ass ; and Caleb said to her, What would- 
 est thou ? 
 
 19 Who answered, Give me a '"present; 
 for thou hast given me a south land, give 
 me also springs of water. And he gave her 
 the upper springs, and the nether springs. 
 
 20 This is the inheritance of the tribe of 
 the children of Judah according to their 
 families.

 1 The general borders of the sons of Joseph, 5 The 
 border of the inheritance of Ephraim. 10 The

 AND the lot of the children of Joseph 
 tfell from Jordan by Jericho, to the 
 water of Jericho, on the east, to the 'waste 
 region that goeth up from Jericho through- 
 out mount Beth-el, 
 
 2 And goeth out from Beth-el to °Luz,

 to Ataroth, 
 
 3 And goeth down westward to the coast 
 of Japhleti, Ho the border of Beth-horon 
 the nether, and to "Gezer : and the goings 
 out thereof are at the sea. 
 
 4 d So the children of Joseph, Manasseh 
 and Ephraim, took their inheritance. 
 
 5 If And the border of the children of 
 Ephraim according to their families was 
 thus : even the border of their inheritance 
 on the east side was 'Ataroth-addar, ■%>

 6 And the border went out towards the 
 sea to fMichmethah on the north side ; and 
 the border went about eastward to Taa- 
 nath-shiloh, and passed by it on the east to 
 Janohah ; 
 
 7 And it went down from Janohah to 
 Ataroth, *and to Naarath, and came to 
 Jericho, and went out at Jordan. 
 
 8 The border went out from Tappuah 
 westward to the '' 3 brook Kanah; and the 
 goings out thereof were at the sea. This is 
 the inheritance of the tribe of the children 
 of Ephraim by their families.

 9 And *the separate cities for the child-

 cities with their villages. 
 
 10 'And they drove not out the Canaan-

 CHAPTER XVII. 
 
 1 Tlie lot of Manasseh. 8 His border. 12 The Ca- 
 naanites not driven out. 14 The children of Jo- 
 seph obtain another lot. 
 
 THERE was also a lot for the tribe of 
 Manasseh ; for he was the "first-born 
 of Joseph; Namely, for "Machir the first- 
 born of Manasseh, the father of Gilead : 
 because he was a man of war, therefore he 
 had "Gilead and Bashan. 
 
 2 There was also a lot for d the rest of the 
 children of Manasseh by their families ; 
 e for the children of ||Abiezer, and for the 
 children of Helek, %nd for the children 
 of Asriel, and for the children of She- 
 chem, e and for the children of Hepher, 
 for the children of Shemida: these were 
 the male children of Manasseh the son of 
 Joseph by their families. 
 
 3 f But A Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, 
 the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the 
 son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daugh- 
 ters: and these are the names of his daugh- 
 ters, Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, 
 and Tirzah. 
 
 4 And they came near before 'Eleazar 
 the priest, and before Joshua the son of 
 Nun, and before the princes, saying, 'Je- 
 hovah commanded Moses to give us an 
 inheritance among our brethren : therefore 
 according to the commandment of Jehovah 
 he gave them an inheritance among the 
 brethren of their father. 
 
 5 And there fell ten portions to Manas- 
 seh, besides the land of Gilead and Bashan, 
 which were on the other side Jordan ; 
 
 6 Because the daughters of Manasseh 
 had an inheritance among his sons : and 
 the rest of Manasseh's sons had the land 
 of Gilead. 
 
 7 If And the 2 border of Manasseh was 
 from Asher to 'Michmethah, that lieth be- 
 fore Shechem ; and the border went along 
 on the right hand to the inhabitants of En- 
 tappuah. 
 
 8 Now Manasseh had the land of Tap- 
 puah : but m Tappuah on the border of 
 Manasseh belonged to the children of 
 Ephraim : 
 
 9 And the 3 border descended "to the 
 || 4 brook Kanah, southward of the river. 
 "These cities of Ephraim are among the 
 cities of Manasseh: the 6 border of Manas- 
 seh also was on the north side of the 6 brook, 
 and the out-goings of it were at the sea: 
 
 10 Southward it was Ephraim's, and 
 northward it was Manasseh's, and the sea 
 is his border; and they met together in 
 Asher on the north, and in Issachar on the 
 east. 
 
 11 'And Manasseh had in Issachar and 
 in Asher, 'Beth-shean and its towns, and 
 Ibleam and its towns, and the inhabitants 
 of Dor and its towns, and the inhabitants 
 of Endor and its towns, and the inhabit- 
 ants of Taanach and its towns, and the 
 inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns, even 
 three liigh regions. 
 
 171 
 
The taOernacle set up at Shiloh. 
 
 12 Yet the children of Manasseh could 
 not drive out the inhabitants of those 
 cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in 
 that land. 
 
 13 Yet it came to pass, when the children 
 of Israel 8 had become strong, that they put 
 the Canaanites to 'tribute; but did not 
 utterly drive them out. 
 
 14 'And the children of Joseph spoke to 
 Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given me 
 but "one lot and one portion to inherit, 
 seeing I am x a great people> 9 because Je- 
 hovah hath blessed me hitherto ? 
 
 15 And Joshua answered them, If thou 
 be a great people, then I0 go up to the "forest, 
 and cut down for thyself there in the land 
 of the Perizzites and of the Hgiants, if 
 mount Ephraim be too narrow for thee. 
 
 16 And the children of Joseph said, The 
 hill is not enough for us : and all the Ca- 
 naanites that dwell in the land of the valley 
 have 'chariots of iron, both they who are 
 of Beth-shean and her towns, and they 
 who are *of the valley of Jezreel. 
 
 17 And Joshua spoke to the house of Jo- 
 seph, even to Ephraim and to Manasseh, 
 saying, Thou art a great people, and hast 
 great power : thou shalt not have one lot 
 only : 
 
 18 But the mountain shall be thine ; for 
 it is a I2 forest, and thou shalt cut it down : 
 and the out-goings of it shall be thine: 
 for thou shaft drive out the Canaanites, 
 "though they have iron chariots, and though 
 they "are strong.

 1 The tabernacle is set up at Shiloh. 2 The remain-

 children of Israel assembled together

 gregation there : and the land was subdued 
 Before them. 
 
 2 And there remained among the child- 
 ren of Israel seven tribes, which had not 
 yet received their inheritance. 
 
 3 And Joshua said to the children of Is- 
 rael, c How long are ye slack to go 3 and 
 possess the land which Jehovah God of 
 our fathers hath given you ? 
 
 4 'Choose from among you three men for 
 each tribe: and I will send them, and they 
 shall rise, and go through the land, and 
 describe it according to the inheritance of 
 them, and they shall come again to me. 
 
 5 And they shall divide it into seven 
 parts : ''Judah shall abide in their 4 region 
 on the south, and "the house of Joseph shall 
 abide in their 5 region on the north. 
 
 6 Ye shall therefore describe the land Hn 
 seven parts, and bring the description hither 
 to me, -^that I may cast lots for you here 
 before Jehovah our God. 
 
 7 s But the Levites have no part among 
 you ; for the priesthood of Jehovah 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 Jehovah 
 gave them. 
 
 8 If And the men arose, and went away : 
 and Joshua charged 7 those who went to 
 describe the land, saying, Go, and walk 
 through the land, and describe it, and

 Joshua to the host at Shiloh.

 Shiloh before Jehovah : and there Joshua 
 divided the land to the children of Israel 
 according to their divisions. 
 
 11 If And the lot of the tribe of the child- 
 ren of Benjamin came up according to 
 their families: and the district of their 
 lot came forth between the children of 
 Judah and the children of Joseph. 
 
 12 *And their border on the north side 
 was from Jordan ; and the border went up 
 to the side of Jericho on the north side, 
 and went up through the mountains west- 
 ward ; and the goings out thereof were at 
 the ,0 waste region ot Beth-aven. 
 
 13 And the border went over from thence 
 towards Luz, to the side of Luz (*which is 
 Beth-el) southward; and the border de- 
 scended to Ataroth-adar, near the "moun- 
 tain that lieth on the south side 'of the 
 nether Beth-horon. 
 
 14 And the border was drawn thence, and 
 encompassed the corner of the sea south- 
 ward, from the "mountain that lieth before 
 Beth-horon southward; and the goings out 
 thereof were at m Kirjath-baal (which is 
 Kirjath-jearim) a city of the children of

 15 And the south quarter was from the 
 end of Kirjath-jearim, and the border 
 went out on the west, and went out to 
 "the "fountain of waters of Nephtoah : 
 
 16 And the border came down to the end 
 of the mountain that lieth before "the valley 
 of the son of Hinnom, and which is in the

 19 And the border passed along to the 
 side of Beth-hoglah northward : and the 
 out-goings of the border were at the north 
 tbay of the salt sea at the south end of 
 Jordan. This was the south "border. 
 
 20 And Jordan was the border of it on 
 the east side. This was the. inheritance of 
 the children of Benjamin, by the 16 borders 
 thereof round about, according to their fa- 
 milies.

 children of Israel give an inheritance to Joshua. 
 
 A ND the second lot came forth to Sime- 
 ■**- on, even for the tribe of the children 
 of Simeon according to their families: 
 "and their inheritance was within the in- 
 heritance of the children of Judah. 
 
 2 And b they had in their inheritance, 
 Beer-sheba, and Sheba, and Moladah, 
 
 3 And Hazar-shual, and Balah, and Azem, 
 
 4 And Eltolad, and Bethul, and Hormah,

 7 Ain, Remmon, and Ether, and Ashan ; 
 four cities and their villages : . 
 
 8 And all the villages that were round 
 about these cities to Baalath-beer, Ramath 
 of the south. This is the inheritance of 
 the tribe of the children of Simeon accord- 
 ing to their families. 
 
 9- 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 inherit 
 ance within the inheritance of them. 
 
 10 ^ And the third lot came up for the 
 children of Zebulun according to their 
 families : and the border of their inherit- 
 ance was to Sarid : 
 
 11 ''And their border went up towards 
 the sea, and Maralah, and reached to Dab- 
 basheth, and reached to the *brook that is 
 'before Jokneam, 
 
 12 And turned from Sarid eastward, to- 
 wards the sun-rising, to the border of Chis- 
 loth-tabor, and then goeth out to Daberath,

 thah-el : 
 
 15 And Kattath, and Nahallal,and Shim- 
 ron, and Idalah, and Beth-lehem ; twelve 
 cities with their villages. 
 
 16 This is the inheritance of the children 
 of Zebulun according to their families, 
 these cities with their villages. 
 
 17 If And the fourth lot came out to lssa- 
 char, for the children of lssachar accord- 
 ing to their families.

 32 ^ The sixth lot came out to the child- 
 ren of Naphtali, even for the children of 
 Naphtali according to their families. 
 
 33 And their 6 border was from Heleph,

 llie six cities of refuge. JOSHUA. 
 
 49 ^ When they had made an end of di- 
 viding the land for inheritance by their 
 "districts, the children of Israel gave an 
 inheritance to Joshua the son of Nun 
 among them : 
 
 50 According to the word of Jehovah 
 they gave him the city which he asked, 
 even *"Timnath- n serah in mount Ephraim : 
 and he built the city, and dwelt therein. 
 
 51 "These are the inheritances which Ele- 
 azar 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 p in Shiloh before Jeho- 
 vah, at the door of the 15 tent of the con- 
 gregation. So they made an end of divid- 
 ing the country. 
 
 CHAPTER XX. 
 
 1 God commandeth, 7 and the children of Israel ap- 
 point the six cities of refuge. 
 
 JEHOVAH also spoke to Joshua, saying, 
 2 Speak to the children of Israel, say- 
 ing, "Appoint ' for you cities of refuge, 
 of which I spoke to you by the hand of 
 Moses : 
 
 3 That the slayer that killeth any person 
 unawares and 2 without design, may flee 
 thither : and they shall be your refuge from 
 the avenger of blood. 
 
 4 And when he that doth flee to one of 
 those cities shall stand at the entering of 
 'the gate of the city, and shall declare his 
 cause in the 'hearing of the elders of that 
 city, they shall take him into the city to 
 them, and give him a place, that he may 
 dwell among them. 
 
 5 e 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 4 without design, and hated 
 him not 5 before. 
 
 6 And he shall dwell in that city, d until 
 he stand before the congregation for judg- 
 ment, and until the death of the high priest 
 6 who shall be in those days : then shall the 
 slayer return, and come to his own city, 
 and to his own house, to the city from 
 whence he ' had' fled. 
 
 7 f And they tappointed e Kedesh in Ga- 
 lilee in mount Naphtali, and ^Shechem in 
 mount Ephraim, and ? Kirjath-arba, (which 
 is Hebron) in *the mountain of Judah. 
 
 8 And on the other side ' of Jordan by 
 Jericho eastward, they assigned 'Bezer in 
 the 6 waste region upon the plain out of the 
 tribe of Reuben, and *Ramoth in Gilead 
 out of the tribe of Gad, and 'Golan in 
 Bashan out of the tribe of Manasseh. 
 
 9 "These were the cities appointed for 
 all the children of Israel, and for the 
 stranger that sojourneth among them, that 
 whoever killeth any person 'without de- 
 sign might flee thither, and not die by the 
 hand of the avenger of blood, "until he 
 stood before the congregation. 
 
 CHAPTER XXI. 
 
 I Eight and forty cities given by lot, out of the other 
 tribes, to the Levites. 43 God gave the land, and 
 rest to the Israelites, according to his promise. 
 
 THEN came near the heads of the fa- 
 thers of the Levites to "Eleazar the 
 priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and 
 to the heads of the fathers of the tribes of

 The cities of the Levites. 
 
 manded by the hand of Moses to give us 
 cities to dwell in, with the suburbs there- 
 of for our cattle. 
 
 3 And the children of Israel gave to the 
 Levites out of their inheritance, 'by the 
 commandment of Jehovah, these cities 
 and their suburbs. 
 
 4 And the lot came out for the families 
 of the Kohathites : and "the children of 
 Aaron the priest, who were of the Levites, 
 e 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. 
 
 5 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. 
 
 6 And s the children of Gershon had by 
 lot out of the families of the tribe of Issa- 
 char, 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. 
 
 7 A The children of Merari by their fami- 
 lies had out of the tribe of Reuben, and 
 out of the tribe of Gad, and out of the tribe 
 of Zebulun, twelve cities. 
 
 8 'And the children of Israel gave by lot 
 to the Levites these cities with their sub- 
 urbs, "as Jehovah 'had' commanded by 
 the hand of Moses. 
 
 9 If And they gave out of the tribe of the 
 children of Judah, and out of the tribe of 
 the children of Simeon, these cities which 
 are here tmentioned by name. 
 
 10 '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. 
 
 11 m And they gave them ||the city of Arba 
 the father of "Anak (which city is Hebron) 
 "in the 2 mountains of Judah, with the sub- 
 urbs thereof round about it. 
 
 12 But nhe fields of the city, and the 
 villages thereof, gave they to Caleb the 
 son of Jephunneh for his possession. 
 
 13 If Thus «they gave to the children of 
 Aaron the priest, 'Hebron with its suburbs, 
 to be a city of refuge for the slayer; 'and 
 Libnah with its suburbs, 
 
 14 And 'Jattir with its suburbs, and "Esh- 
 temoa with its suburbs, 
 
 15 And *Holon with its suburbs, "and 
 Debir with its suburbs, 
 
 16 And *Ain with its suburbs, "and Juttah 
 with its suburbs, and 'Beth-shemesh with 
 its suburbs ; nine cities out of those two 
 tribes. 
 
 17 And out of the tribe of Benjamin, 
 c Gibeon with its suburbs, d Geba with its 
 suburbs, 
 
 18 Anathoth with its suburbs, and e Al- 
 mon with its suburbs ; four cities. 
 
 19 All the cities of the children of Aaron, 
 the priests, were thirteen cities with their 
 suburbs. 
 
 20 If 'And the families of the children of 
 Kohath, the Levites who remained of the 
 children of Kohath, even they had the 
 cities of their lot out of the tribe of Ephraim. 
 
 21 For they gave them «Shechem with its 
 suburbs in mount Ephraim, to be a city of 
 refuge for the slayer ; and Gezer with its 
 suburbs, 
 
 22 And Kibzaim with its suburbs, and 
 Beth-horon with its suburbs ; four cities. 
 
The cities of the Levites. 
 
 23 And out of the tribe of Dan, Eltekeh 
 with its suburbs, Gibbethon with its sub 
 urbs, 
 
 24 Aijalon with its suburbs, Gath-rimmon 
 with its suburbs ; four cities. 
 
 25 And out of the half-tribe of Manasseh, 
 Tanach with its suburbs, and Gath-rim- 
 mon with its suburbs ; two cities. 
 
 26 All the cities were ten with their sub 
 urbs, for the families of the children of 
 Kohath that remained. 
 
 27 f "And to the children of Gershon, of 
 the families of the Levites, out of the other 
 half-tribe of Manasseh they gave "Golan 
 in Bashan with its suburbs, to be a city of 
 refuge for the slayer, and Beesh-terah with 
 its suburbs ; two cities. 
 
 28 And out of the tribe of Issachar, Kishon 
 with its suburbs, Dabareh with its suburbs, 
 
 29 Jarmuth with its suburbs, Engannim 
 with its suburbs ; four cities. 
 
 30 And out of the tribe of Asher, Mishal 
 with its suburbs, Abdon with its suburbs, 
 
 31 Helkath with its suburbs, and Rehob 
 with its suburbs ; four cities. 
 
 32 And out of the tribe of Naphtali, *Ke- 
 desh in Galilee with its suburbs, to be a 
 city of refuge for the slayer; and Ham- 
 moth-dor with its suburbs, and Kartan 
 with its suburbs ; three cities. 
 
 33 All the cities of the Gershonites, ac- 
 cording to their families, were thirteen 
 cities with their suburbs. 
 
 34 If 'And to the families of the children 
 of Merari, the rest of the Levites, out of 
 the tribe of Zebulun, Jokneam with its 
 suburbs, and Kartah with its suburbs, 
 
 35 Dimnah with its suburbs, Nahalal with 
 its suburbs ; four cities. 
 
 36 And out of the tribe of Reuben, ""Be- 
 zel- with its suburbs, and Jahazah with its 
 suburbs, 
 
 S7 Kedemoth with its suburbs, and Me- 
 phaath with its suburbs ; four cities. 
 
 38 And out of the tribe of Gad, "Ramoth 
 in Gilead with its suburbs, to be a city of 
 refuge for the slayer ; and Mahanaim with 
 its suburbs, 
 
 39 Heshbon with its suburbs, Jazer with 
 its suburbs ; four cities in all. 
 
 40 So all the cities for the children of 
 Merari by their families, which were re- 
 maining of the families of the Levites, 
 were by their lot twelve cities. 
 
 41 "All the cities of the Levites within 
 the possession of the children of Israel 
 were forty and eight cities with their sub- 
 urbs. 
 
 42 These cities were every one with their 
 suburbs round about them. Thus were all 
 these cities. 
 
 43 If And Jehovah gave to Israel 'all the 
 land which he swore to give to their fa- 
 thers: and they possessed it, and dwelt 
 therein. 
 
 44 «And Jehovah gave them rest round 
 about, according to all that he swore to 
 their fathers : and 'there stood not a man 
 of all their enemies before them ; Jehovah 
 delivered all their enemies into their hand. 
 
 45 *There failed 3 nothing of any good 
 thing which Jehovah had spoken to the 
 house of Israel ; all came to pass.

 servant of Jehovah charged you, e to love 
 Jehovah your God, and to walk in all his 
 ways, and to keep his commandments, and 
 to cleave to him, and to serve him with all 
 your heart, and with all your soul. 
 
 6 So Joshua ^blessed them, and sent them 
 away ; and they went to their tents. 
 
 7 If Now to the one half of the tribe of 
 Manasseh, Moses had given possession in 
 Bashan : f but to the other half thereof gave 
 Joshua among their brethren on this side 
 ' of Jordan westward. And when Joshua 
 sent them away also to their tents, then he 
 blessed them, 
 
 8 And he spoke to them, saying, Return 
 with much riches to your tents, and with 
 very 2 many cattle, with silver, and with 
 gold, and with brass, and with iron, and 
 with 3 an abundance of raiment: "divide 
 the spoil of your enemies with your breth- 
 ren. 
 
 9 "If And the children of Reuben, and the 
 children of Gad, and the half-tribe of Ma- 
 nasseh returned, and departed from the 
 children of Israel out of Shiloh, which is 
 in the land of Canaan, to go to 'the coun- 
 try of Gilead, to the land of their posses- 
 sion, of which they were possessed, accord- 
 ing to the word of Jehovah by the hand 
 of Moses. 
 
 10 ^ And when they came to the 4 regions 
 of Jordan, that are in the land of Canaan, 
 the children of Reuben, and the children 
 of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh 
 built there an altar by Jordan, 5 an altar 
 which appeared very large. 
 
 11 If And the children of Israel *heard 
 'it said, Behold, the children of Reuben, 
 and the children of Gad, and the half-tribe 
 of Manasseh, have built an altar over 
 against the land of Canaan, in the 'regions 
 of Jordan, at the passage of the children 
 of Israel. 
 
 12 And when the children of Israel heard 
 of it, the whole congregation of the child- 
 ren of Israel gathered themselves together 
 at Shiloh, to go up to war against them. 
 
 13 And the children of Israel m sent to 
 the children of Reuben, and to the child- 
 ren of Gad, and to the half-tribe of Ma- 
 nasseh into the land of Gilead, "Phinehas 
 the son of Eleazar the priest, 
 
 14 And with him ten princes, of each 
 tchief house a prince throughout all the 
 tribes of Israel ; and "each one was a head 
 
 175 
 
They build an altar of testimony, 
 
 of the house of their fathers among the 
 thousands of Israel. 
 
 15 % And they came to the children of 
 Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and 
 to the half-tribe of Manasseh, to the land 
 of Gilead, and they spoke with them, say- 
 
 16 Thus saith the whole congregation of 
 Jehovah, What trespass is this that ye 
 have committed against the God of Israel, 
 to turn away this day from following Je- 
 hovah, in that ye have budded you an al- 
 tar, p that ye might rebel this day against 
 Jehovah ? 
 
 17 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 Jehovah. 
 
 18 But that ye must turn away this day 
 from following Jehovah? and it will be, 
 seeing ye rebel to-day against Jehovah, 
 that to-morrow r he will be 8 angry with the 
 whole congregation of Israel. 
 
 19 Notwithstanding, if the land of your 
 possession be 9 disliked, then pass ye over 
 to the land of the possession of Jehovah, 
 s wherein Jehovah's tabernacle dwelleth, 
 and take possession among us : but rebel 
 not against Jehovah, nor rebel against us, 
 in building you an altar besides the altar 
 of Jehovah our God. 
 
 20 '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 ""expired not alone 
 in his iniquity. 
 
 21 If Then the children of Reuben, and 
 the children of Gad, and the half-tribe of 
 Manasseh answered, and said to the heads 
 of the thousands of Israel, 
 
 22 Jehovah "God of gods, Jehovah God 
 of gods, he x knoweth, and Israel he shall 
 know ; if it be in rebellion, or if in trans- 
 gression against Jehovah, ( n then spare us 
 not this day,) 
 
 23 That we have built us an altar to turn 
 from following Jehovah, or if to offer 
 thereon burnt-offering, or ,2 meal -offering, 
 or if to offer "thank-offerings thereon, let 
 Jehovah himself "require it; 
 
 24 And if we have not rather done it for 
 fear of this thing, saying, tin time to come 
 your children might speak to our children, 
 saying, What have ye to do with Jehovah 
 God of Israel ? 
 
 25 For Jehovah hath made Jordan a bor- 
 der between us and you, ye children of 
 Reuben and children of Gad ; ye have no 
 part in Jehovah. So "might your children 
 make our children cease from fearing Je- 
 hovah. 
 
 26 Therefore we said, Let us now pre- 
 pare to build us an altar, not for burnt- of- 
 fering, nor for sacrifice : 
 
 27 But that it may be z a witness between 
 us, and you, and our generations after us, 
 that we might "do the service of Jehovah 
 before him with our burnt-offerings, and 
 with our sacrifices, and with our "thank- 
 offerings ; that your children may not say 
 to our children in time to come, Ye have 
 no part in Jehovah. 
 
 28 Therefore said we, that it shall be, 
 when they should so say to us or to our 
 generations in time to come, that we 16 might 
 say again, Behold the pattern of the altar

 of the thousands of Israel who were with 
 him, heard the words that the children of 
 Reuben, and the children of Gad, and the 
 children of Manasseh spoke, tit pleased

 to the children of Gad, and to the child- 
 ren of Manasseh, This day we perceive 
 that Jehovah is c among us, because ye have 
 not committed this trespass against Jeho- 
 vah : tnow ye have delivered the children 
 of Israel out of the hand of Jehovah. 
 
 32 If And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the 
 priest, and the princes, returned from the 
 children of Reuben, and from the children 
 of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, to the 
 land of Canaan, to the children of Israel, 
 and brought them word again. 
 
 33 And the thing pleased the children of 
 Israel : and the children of Israel d blessed 
 God, and did not intend to go up against 
 them in battle, to destroy the land wherein 
 the children of Reuben and Gad dwelt. 
 
 34 And the children of Reuben and the 
 children of Gad called the altar \\JEd : foi 
 it shall be a witness between us that Jeho- 
 vah is God. 
 
 CHAPTER XXIII. 
 
 1 Joshua's exhortation before his death, 3 by former 
 benefits, 5 by promises, 11 and by threatenings. 
 
 AND it came to pass, a long time after that 
 Jehovah "had given rest to Israel from 
 all their enemies round about, that Joshua 
 "had become old and t 2 advanced in age. 
 
 2 And Joshua tailed for all Israel, and for 
 their elders, and for their heads, and for 
 their judges, and for their officers, and said 
 to them, I am old and Advanced in age : 
 
 3 And ye have seen all that Jehovah 
 your God hath done to all these nations 
 because of you ; for ^Jehovah your God is 
 he that hath fought for you. 
 
 4 Behold, e I have divided to you by lot 
 these nations that remain, to be an inherit- 
 ance for your tribes, from Jordan, with all 
 the nations that I have cut off, even to the 
 great sea twestward. 
 
 5 And Jehovah your God, 'he shall ex- 
 
 fiel them from before you, and drive them 
 rom out of your sight; and ye shall pos- 
 sess their land, g as Jehovah your God hath 
 promised to you. 
 
 6 *Be ye therefore very courageous to 
 keep and to do all that is written in the 
 book of the law of Moses, 'that ye turn 
 not aside therefrom to the right hand or to 
 the left ; 
 
 7 That ye *come not among these nations, 
 these that remain among you ; neither 
 'make mention of the name of their gods, 
 nor cause to swear by them, neither serve 
 them, nor bow yourselves to them : 
 
 8 ||But "cleave to Jehovah your God, as 
 ye have done to this day. 
 
Joshua's exhortation 
 
 9 || "For Jehovah hath driven out from 
 before you great nations and strong : but 
 as for you, "no man hath been able to stand 
 before you to this day. 
 
 10 'One man of you shall chase a*thou- 
 sand : for Jehovah your God, he it is that 
 iighteth for you, «as he hath promised you. 
 
 11 'Take good heed therefore to ty our- 
 selves, that ye love Jehovah your God. 
 
 12 Else if ye do 4 at all 'go backhand 
 cleave to the remnant of these nations, 
 even these that remain among you, and 
 shall 'make marriages with them, and go 
 in to them, and they to you : 
 
 13 Know for a certainty that "Jehovah 
 your God will no more drive out any of 
 these nations from before you : *but they 
 shall be snares and traps to you, and 
 scourges 5 on your sides, and thorns in 
 your eyes, until ye perish from off this 
 good land which Jehovah your God hath 
 given you. 
 
 14 And behold, this day *I am going the 
 way of all the earth ; and ye know in all 
 your hearts and in all your souls, that r not 
 one thing hath failed of all the good things 
 which Jehovah your God spoke concern- 
 ing you ; all are come to pass to you, and 
 not one thing hath failed thereof. 
 
 15 "Therefore it shall come to pass, that 
 as all good things are come upon you, which 
 Jehovah your God promised you ; so shall 
 Jehovah bring upon you 'all evil things, 
 until he ' shall' have destroyed you from 
 off this good land which Jehovah your 
 God hath given you. 
 
 16 When ye 'shall' have transgressed the 
 covenant of Jehovah your God, which he 
 commanded you, and 'shall' have gone 
 and served other gods, and bowed your- 
 selves to them; then shall the anger of 
 Jehovah be kindled against you, and ye 
 shall perish quickly from off the good land 
 which he hath given to you.

 \ ND Joshua convened all the tribes of 
 -f*- Israel to "Shechem, and 4 called for the 
 elders of Israel, and for their heads and 
 for their judges, and for their officers; and 
 they "presented themselves before God. 
 
 2 And Joshua said to all the people, 
 Thus said Jehovah God of Israel, d Your 
 fathers dwelt on the other side of the 
 'river in old times, even Terah, the father 
 of Abraham, and the father of Nachor: 
 and "they served other gods. 
 
 3 And 'I took your father Abraham from 
 the other side of the 2 river, and led him 
 throughout all the land of Canaan, and 
 multiplied his seed, and 8 gave him Isaac. 
 
 4 And I gave to Isaac \Tacob and Esau : 
 and I gave to "Esau mount Seir, to possess 
 it; *but Jacob and his children went down 
 into Egypt. 
 
 5 ! I sent Moses also and Aaron, and m I 
 plagued Egypt, according to that which I 
 did among them : and afterward I brought

 Egyptians pursued after your fathers with 
 chariots and horsemen to the Red sea. 
 
 7 And when they 'cried to Jehovah, r he 
 put darkness between you and the Egyp- 
 tians, 'and brought the sea upon them, and 
 covered them ; and 'your eyes have seen 
 what I have done in Egypt : and ye dwelt 
 in the 3 desert "a long season. 
 
 8 And I brought you into the land of the 
 Amorites, who dwelt on the other side ' of' 
 Jordan ; *and they fought with you : and 
 I gave them into your hand, that ye might 
 possess their land ; and I destroyed them 
 from before you. 
 
 9 Then y Balak the son of Zippor, king of 
 Moab, arose and i would war against Is- 
 rael, and z sent and called Balaam the son 
 of Beor to curse you : 
 
 10 "But I would not hearken to Balaam ; 
 'therefore he blessed you still : so I de- 
 livered you out of his hand. 
 
 11 And c ye went over Jordan, and came 
 to Jericho: and d the possessors of Jericho 
 fought against you, the Amorites, and the 
 Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and the 
 Hittites, and the Girgashites, the Hivites, 
 and the Jebusites, and I delivered them 
 into your hand. 
 
 12 And 'I sent the hornet before you, 
 which drove them out from before you, even 
 the two kings of the Amorites : but 'not 
 with thy sword, nor with thy bow. 
 
 13 And I have given you a land for which 
 ye did not labour, and ^cities which ye 
 built not, and ye dwell in them ; of the 
 vineyards and olive-yards which ye plant- 
 ed not do ye eat. 
 
 14 If A Now therefore fear Jehovah, and 
 serve him in 'sincerity and in truth ; and 
 *put away the gods which your fathers 
 served on the other side of the 6 river, and 
 'in Egypt ; and serve ye Jehovah. 
 
 15 And if it seem evil to you to serve 
 Jehovah, ""choose you this day whom ye 
 will serve, whether "the gods which your 
 fathers served that were on the other side 
 of the 7 river, or"the gods of the Amorites 
 in whose land ye dwell : ''but as for me 
 and my house, we will serve Jehovah. 
 
 16 And the people answered, and said, 
 8 Far be it that we should forsake Jehovah, 
 to serve other gods ; 
 
 17 For Jehovah our God, he it is that 
 brought us up, and our fathers, out of the 
 land of Egypt, from the house of 9 bondmen, 
 and who did those great signs in our sight, 
 and preserved us in all the way wherein 
 we went, and among all the people through 
 whom we passed : 
 
 18 And Jehovah drove out from before 
 us all the people, even the Amorites who 
 dwelt in the land : therefore will we also 
 serve Jehovah ; for he is our God. 
 
 19 And Joshua said to the people, «Ye 
 cannot serve Jehovah: for he is a r holy 
 God: he is 'a. jealous God; 'he will not 
 forgive your transgressions, nor your 
 sins. 
 
 20 "If ye forsake Jehovah, and serve 
 strange gods, *then he will turn and do 
 you hurt, and consume you, after that he 
 hath done you good. 
 
 21 And the people said to Joshua, Nay; 
 but we will serve Jehovah. 
 
 22 And Joshua said to the people, Ye are 
 witnesses against yourselves that y ye have 
 
 177 
 
(rod's covenant renewed. 
 
 chosen you Jehovah, to serve him. And 
 they said, We are witnesses. 
 
 23 Now therefore *put away (said he) the 
 strange gods which are among you, and 
 incline your heart to Jehovah God of Is- 
 rael. 
 
 24 And the people said to Joshua, Jeho- 
 vah our God we serve, and his voice will 
 we obey. 
 
 25 So Joshua "made a covenant with the 
 people that day, and set them I0 an ordi- 
 nance and "a statute *in Shechem. 
 
 26 If And Joshua "wrote these words in- 
 the book of the law of God, and took d a 
 great stone, and 'set it up there %nder an 
 oak that was by the sanctuary of Jehovah. 
 
 27 And Joshua said to all the people, 
 Behold, this stone shall be e a witness 
 to us ; for "it hath heard all the words of 
 Jehovah which he spoke to us : it shall be 
 therefore a witness to you, lest ye deny 
 your God. 
 
 28 So 'Joshua let the people depart, "each 
 man to his inheritance.

 IVTOW after the death of Joshua it came 
 -*-^ to pass, that the children of Israel 
 "asked Jehovah, saying, Who shall go up 
 for us against the Canaanites first to fight 
 against them ? 
 
 2 And Jehovah said, 'Judah shall go up : 
 behold, I have delivered the land into his 
 hand. 
 
 3 And Judah said to Simeon his brother, 
 Come up with me into my lot, that we may 
 fight against the Canaanites ; and 'I like- 
 wise will go with thee into thy lot. So Si- 
 meon went with him. 
 
 4 And Judah went up, and Jehovah de- 
 livered the Canaanites and the Perizzites 
 into their hand : and they slew of them in 
 d Bezek ten thousand men. 
 
 5 And they found Adoni-bezek in Be- 
 zek: and they fought against him, and 
 they slew the Canaanites and the Periz- 
 zites. 
 
 6 But Adoni-bezek fled ; and they pur- 
 sued after him, and caught him, and cut 
 off his thumbs and his great toes. 
 
 7 And Adoni-bezek said, Three-score 
 and ten kings, having ttheir thumbs and 
 their great toes cut off, leathered their \food 
 under my table ; e as I have done, so God 
 hath requited me. And they brought him 
 to Jerusalem, and there he died. 
 
 8 (Now the children of Judah had fought 
 against Jerusalem, and had taken it, and 
 smitten it with the edge of the sword, and 
 set the city on fire.) 
 
 9 If r And afterward the children of Ju- 
 dah went down to fight against the Ca- 
 naanites that dwelt in the mountain, and 
 in the south, and in the 2 low country.

 ites that dwelt in Hebron : (now the name 
 of Hebron before was *Kirjath-arba :) and 
 they slew Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Tal- 
 mai. 
 
 11 And from thence he went against the 
 inhabitants of Debir : and the name of De- 
 bir before was Kirjath-sepher : 
 
 12 *And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kir- 
 jath-sepher, and taketh it, to him will 1 
 give Achsah my daughter 'for a wife. 
 
 13 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, 'Ca- 
 leb's younger brother, took it : and he gave 
 him Achsah his daughter "for a wife. 
 
 14 "And it came to pass, when she came 
 to him, that she moved him to ask of her 
 father a field : and she lighted from 6 her 
 ass; and Caleb said to her, "What wilt 
 thou? 
 
 15 And she said to him, "Give me a 'pre- 
 sent : for thou hast given me a south land ; 
 give me also springs of water. And Caleb 
 gave her the upper springs, and the nether 
 springs. 
 
 16 If "And the children of the Kenite, 
 Moses' father-in-law, went up out p of the 
 city of palm-trees with the children of 
 Judah into the 'waste region of Judah, 
 which lieth in the south of «Arad ; 'and 
 they went and dwelt among the people. 
 
 17 'And Judah went with Simeon his 
 brother, and they slew the Canaanites that 
 inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed 
 it. And the name of the city was called 
 'Hormah. 
 
 18 Also Judah took "Gaza with the 'dis- 
 trict thereof, and Askelon with the 9 dis- 
 trict thereof, and Ekron with the '"district 
 thereof. 
 
 19 And 'Jehovah was with Judah ; and 
 (fhe drove out the inhabitants of the moun- 
 tain ; but could not drive out the inhabit- 
 ants of the valley, because they had » "cha- 
 riots of iron. 
 
 20 *And they gave Hebron to Caleb, as 
 Moses said: and he expelled thence the 
 three sons of Anak. 
 
 21 "And the children of Benjamin did 
 
The Canaanites not wholly driven out. 
 
 not drive out the Jebusites who inhabited 
 Jerusalem; but the Jebusites dwell with 
 the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem to 
 this day. 
 
 22 f And the house of Joseph, they also 
 went up against Beth-el: *and Jehovah 
 was with them. 
 
 23 And the house of Joseph 'sent to ^spy 
 out Beth-el. Now the name of the city 
 before was d Luz. 
 
 24 And the spies saw a man come forth 
 out of the city, and they said to him, Shew 
 us, we pray thee, the entrance into the 
 city, and 'we will shew thee mercy. 
 
 25 And when he shewed them the en- 
 trance into the city, they smote the city 
 with the edge of the sword : but they let 
 go the man and all Iris family. 
 
 26 And the man went into the land of 
 the Hittites, and built a city, and called 
 the name thereof Luz : which is the name 
 thereof to this day. 
 
 27" f -^Neither did Manasseh drive out the 
 inhabitants of Beth-shean and its towns, 
 nor Taanach and its towns, nor the in- 
 habitants of Dor and its towns, nor the 
 inhabitants of Ibleam and its towns, nor 
 the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns ; 
 but the Canaanites would dwell in that 
 land. 
 
 28 And it came to pass when Israel was 
 strong, that they put the Canaanites to 
 tribute, and did not utterly drive them out. 
 
 29 1f ^Neither did Ephraim drive out the 
 Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer ; but the 
 Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them. 
 
 30 ^f Neither did Zebulun drive out the 
 inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants 
 of Nahalol ; but the Canaanites dwelt 
 among them, and became tributaries. 
 
 31 1J 'Neither did Asher drive out the 
 inhabitants of Accho, nor the inhabitants 
 of Zidon, nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, 
 nor of Helbah, nor of Aphik, nor of Rehob : 
 
 32 But the Asherites 'dwelt among the 
 Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land 
 for they did not drive them out. 
 
 33 ^ /Neither did Naphtali drive out the 
 inhabitants of Beth-snemesh, nor the in- 
 habitants of Beth : anath; but he "dwelt 
 among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of 
 the land : nevertheless, the inhabitants of 
 Beth-shemesh and of Beth-anath "became 
 tributaries to them. 
 
 34 And the Amorites forced the children 
 of Dan into the mountain : for they would 
 not suffer them to come down to the valley : 
 
 35 But the Amorites would dwell in 
 mount Heres "in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim: 
 yet the hand of the house of Joseph tpre- 
 vailed, so that they became tributaries. 
 
 36 And the "border of the Amorites was 
 ''from ||the going up to Akrabbim, from the 
 rock, and upwards.

 3 Wherefore I also said, I will not drive 
 them out from before you ; but they shall 
 be f 1 scourges on your sides, and *their gods 
 shall be a A snare to you. 
 
 4 And it came to pass, when the angel of 
 Jehovah spoke these words to all the child- 
 ren of Israel, that the people lifted up their 
 voices, and wept. 
 
 5 And they called the name of that place 
 IIBochim : and they sacrificed there to Je- 
 hovah. 
 
 6 If And when 'Joshua had let the people 
 go, the children of Israel went 2 each man 
 to his inheritance to possess the land. 
 
 7 *And the people served Jehovah all 
 the days of Joshua, and all the days of the 
 elders that toutlived Joshua, who had seen 
 all the great works of Jehovah, that he 
 did for Israel. 
 
 8 And 'Joshua the son of Nun, the ser- 
 vant of Jehovah, died, being a hundred 
 and ten years old. 
 
 9 m And they buried him in the border of 
 his inheritance in "Timnath-heres, in the 
 mount of Ephraim, on the north side of 
 the 3 mount Gaash. 
 
 10 And also all that generation were 
 gathered to their fathers : and there arose 
 another generation after them, who "knew 
 not Jehovah, nor yet the works which he 
 had done for Israel. 
 
 11 If And the children of Israel did evil 
 in the sight of Jehovah, and served Baalim : 
 
 12 And they 'forsook Jehovah God of 
 their fathers, who brought them out of the 
 land of Egypt, and followed 'other gods, 
 of the gods of the people that were round 
 about them, and "bowed themselves to 
 them, and provoked Jehovah 4 . 
 
 13 And they forsook Jehovah, 'and served 
 Baal and Ashtaroth. 
 
 14 If 'And the anger of Jehovah was hot 
 against Israel, and he "delivered them into 
 the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, 
 x he sold them into the hands of their ene- 
 mies round about, so that they "could not 
 any longer stand before their enemies. 
 
 15 Whithersoever they went out, the 
 hand of Jehovah was against them for 
 evil, as Jehovah had said, and 2 as Jeho- 
 vah had sworn to them: and they were 
 greatly distressed. 
 
 16 U Nevertheless "Jehovah raised up 
 judges, who tdelivered them out of the 
 hand of those that spoiled them. 
 
 17 And yet they would not hearken to 
 their judges, but they *went 5 lewdly after 
 other gods, and bowed themselves to them : 
 they turned quickly out of the way which 
 their fathers walked in, 6 to obey the com- 
 mandments of Jehovah ; but they did not so. 
 
 18 And when Jehovah raised them up 
 judges, then 'Jehovah was with the judge, 
 and delivered them out of the hand of their 
 enemies all the days of the judge : ( d for 
 Jehovah repented because of their groan - 
 ings by reason of them that oppressed them 
 and vexed them.) 
 
 19 And it came to pass, 'when the judge 
 was dead, that they returned, and ||cor- 
 rupted themselves more than their fathers, 
 in following other gods to serve them, and 
 
 to bow down to theni; 
 
 they tceased

Othniel delivereth Israel. 
 
 from their own doings, nor from their 
 stubborn way. 
 
 20 If 'And the anger of Jehovah was hot 
 against Israel; and he said, Because that 
 this 7 nation hath ^transgressed my cove- 
 nant which I commanded their fathers, 
 and hath not hearkened to my voice ; 
 
 21 "I also will not henceforth drive out 
 any from before them of the nations which 
 Joshua left when he died : 
 
 22 'That through them I may * 8 try Israel, 
 whether they will keep the way of Jeho- 
 vah to walk therein, as their fathers did 
 keep it, or not. 
 
 23 Therefore Jehovah ||left those nations, 
 without driving them out hastily, neither 
 delivered he them into the hand of Joshua. 
 
 CHAPTER III. 
 
 1 The nations which were left to prove Israel. 6 By 
 communion with them they commit idolatry. 8 
 Othniel delivereth them from Chushan-rishathaim. 
 12 Ehud from Eglon. 31 Shamgar from the Phi- 
 listines. 
 
 NOW these are "the nations which Je- 
 hovah left, to 'try Israel by them, 
 (even as many of Israel as had not known 
 all the wars of Canaan ; 
 
 2 Only that the generations of the child- 
 ren of Israel might know to teach them 
 war, at the least such as before knew no- 
 thing thereof ;) 
 
 3 Namely, 6 nve lords of the Philistines, 
 and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, 
 and the Hivites that dwelt in mount Le- 
 banon, from mount Baal-hermon to the 
 entering in of Hamath. 
 
 4 'And they were to prove Israel by them, 
 to know whether they would hearken to 
 the commandments ot Jehovah, which he 
 ' had' commanded their fathers by trie 
 hand of Moses. 
 
 5 1J d And the children of Israel dwelt 
 among the Canaanites, Hittites, and Amo- 
 rites, and Perizzites, and Hivites, and Je- 
 busites : 
 
 6 And 'they took their daughters to be 
 their wives, and gave their daughters to 
 their sons, and served their gods. 
 
 7 'And the children of Israel did evil in 
 the sight of Jehovah, and forgot Jehovah 
 their God, f and served Baalim, and *the 
 groves. 
 
 8 f Therefore the anger of Jehovah was 
 hot against Israel, and he 'sold them into 
 the hand of *Chushan-rishathaim king of 
 tMesopotamia : and the children of Israel 
 served Chushan-rishathaim eight years._ 
 
 9 And when the children of Israel 'cried 
 to Jehovah, Jehovah "raised up a tde- 
 liverer 2 for the children of Israel, who de- 
 livered them, even "Othniel the son of 
 Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother. 
 
 10 And "the Spirit of Jehovah tcame 
 upon him, and he judged Israel, and went 
 out to war: and Jehovah delivered Cush- 
 an-rishathaim king of tMesopotamia into 
 his hand ; and his hand prevailed against 
 Chushan-rishathaim. 
 
 11 And the land had rest forty years: 
 and Othniel the son of Kenaz died. 
 
 12 If p And the children of Israel did evil 
 again in the sight of Jehovah : and Jeho- 
 vah strengthened 'Eglon the king of Moab 
 against Israel, because they had done evil 
 in the sight of Jehovah.

 Ehud killeth Eglon. 
 
 of Ammon and r Amalek, and went and 
 smote Israel, and possessed 'the city of 
 palm-trees. 
 
 14 So the children of Israel 'served Eg- 
 lon the king of Moab eighteen years. 
 
 15 But when the children of Israel "cried 
 to Jehovah, Jehovah raised them up a 
 deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, ||a Ben- 
 jamite, a man tleft-handed : and by him 
 the children of Israel sent a present to 
 Eglon the king of Moab. 
 
 16 But Ehud made him a 3 s.word which 
 had two edges, of a 'cubit's length : and 
 he did gird it under his 5 garment upon his 
 right thigh. 
 
 17 And he brought the present to Eglon 
 king of Moab : and Eglon was a very fat 
 man. 
 
 18 And when he had made an end 6 of 
 offering the present, he sent away the peo- 
 ple that bore the present. 
 
 19 But he himself turned again "from the 
 llquarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I 
 have a secret 7 for thee, O king : who said, 
 Keep silence. And all that stood by him 
 went out from him. 
 
 20 And Ehud came to him ; and he was 
 sitting in ta 8 cool upper room, which he 
 had for himself alone : and Ehud said, I 
 have a message from God to thee. And 
 he arose 9 from his seat. 
 
 21 And Ehud put forth his left hand, and 
 took the 10 sword from his right thigh, and 
 thrust it into his belly : 
 
 22 And the haft also went in after the 
 blade : and the fat closed upon the blade, 
 so that he could not draw the "sword out 
 of his belly ; and the 12 ordure came out. 
 
 23 Then Ehud went forth through the 
 porch, and shut the doors of the nipper 
 room upon him, and locked them. 
 
 24 When he was gone out, his servants 
 came ; and when they saw that, behold, 
 the doors of the M upper room were locked, 
 they said, Surely he ||covereth his feet in 
 his ls cool -chamber. 
 
 25 And they tarried till they were asham- 
 ed : and behold, he opened not the doors 
 of the 16 upper room, therefore they took a 
 key and opened them : and behold, their 
 lord had fallen down dead on the earth. 
 
 26 And Ehud escaped While they tarried; 
 and passed beyond the quarries, and es- 
 caped to Seirath. 
 
 27" And it came to pass when he was 
 come, that me blew a trumpet in the 
 'mountain of Ephraim, and the children of 
 Israel went down with him from the mount, 
 and he before them. 
 
 28 And he said to them, Follow after 
 me: for "Jehovah hath delivered your 
 enemies the Moabites into your hand. 
 And they went down after him, and took 
 'the fords of Jordan toward Moab, and 
 suffered not a man to pass over. 
 
 29 And they slew of 'Moab at that time 
 about ten thousand men, all t "robust, and 
 all men of valour : and there escaped not 
 a man. 
 
 30 So Moab was subdued that day under 
 the hand of Israel : and 'the land had rest 
 fourscore years. 
 
 31 If And after him was ''Shamgar the son 
 of Anath, Who slew of the Philistines six 
 hundred men 'with an ox -goad ; 'and he 
 also delivered ^Israel . 
 
Deborah and Barak deliver Israel. 
 CHAPTER IV. 
 
 1 Deborah and Barak deliver them from Jabin and 
 Sisera. 18 Joel killeth Sisera. 
 
 AND a the children of Israel again did 
 evil in the sight of Jehovah when 
 Ehud was dead. 
 
 2 And Jehovah 'sold them into the hand 
 of Jabin king of Canaan that reigned in 
 "Hazor, the captain of whose host was 
 d Sisera,. which dwelt in 'Harosheth of the 
 'Gentiles. 
 
 3 And the children of Israel cried to Je- 
 hovah ; for he had nine hundred 'chariots 
 of iron; and twenty years *he mightily 
 oppressed the children of Israel. 
 
 4 If And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife 
 of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time. 
 
 5 A And she dwelt under the palm-tree of 
 Deborah, between Ramah and Beth-el in 
 mount Ephraim : and the children of Israel 
 came up to her for judgment. 
 
 6 And she sent and called 'Barak the son 
 of Abinoam out *of Kedesh-naphtali, and 
 said to him, Hath not Jehovah God of 
 Israel commanded, saying; Go, and draw 
 towards mount Tabor, and take with thee 
 ten thousand men of the children of Naph- 
 tali, and of the children of Zebulun ; 
 
 7 And 'I will draw to thee, to the "^tor- 
 rent Kishon, Sisera the captain of Jabin's 
 army, with his chariots and his multitude; 
 and I will deliver him into thy hand ? 
 
 . 8 And Barak said to her, If thou wilt go 
 with me, then I will go : but if thou wilt 
 not go with me, then I will not go. 
 
 9 And she said, I will surely go with 
 thee: notwithstanding the journey that 
 thou takest shall not be for thine honour ; 
 for Jehovah shall "sell Sisera into the hand 
 of a woman. And Deborah arose, and 
 went with Barak to Kedesh. 
 
 10 If And Barak called 'together' "Zebu- 
 lun and Naphtali to Kedesh; and he went 
 up with ten thousand men p at his feet: and 
 Deborah went up with him. 
 
 11 Now Heber «the Kenite, who was of 
 the children of r Hobab the father-in-law 
 of Moses, had Separated himself from the 
 Kenites, and pitched his tent to the plain 
 of Zaanaim, 'which is by Kedesh. 
 
 12 And they shewed Sisera that Barak 
 the son of Abinoam 4 had gone up to mount 
 Tabor. 
 
 13 And Sisera t "called together all his 
 chariots, even nine hundred chariots of 
 iron, and all the people that were with 
 him, from Harosheth of the 6 Gentiles to 
 the 'torrent of Kishon. 
 
 14 And Deborah said to Barak, 8 Arise ; 
 for this is the day in which Jehovah hath 
 delivered Sisera into thy hand: (9 hath not 
 Jehovah gone out before thee ? So Barak 
 went down from mount Tabor, and fen 
 thousand men after him. 
 
 15 And "Jehovah discomfited Sisera, and 
 all his chariots, and all his host, with the 
 edge of the sword before Barak; so that 
 Sisera alighted 01 from his chariot, and 
 fled away on his feet. 
 
 16 But Barak pursued after the chariots, 
 and after the host, to Harosheth of the 
 "Gentiles : and all the host of Sisera fell 
 I2 by the edge of the sword ; and there was 
 not ta man left. 
 
 17 13 But Sisera fled away on his feet to 
 the tent of Jael the wife of Heber the

 Ps. 145. 7. 
 
 Jael killeth Sisera. 
 
 Kenite : for there was peace between Ja- 
 bin the king of Hazor and the house of 
 Heber the Kenite. 
 
 18 If And Jael went out to meet Sisera, 
 and said to him, Turn in, my lord, turn in 
 to me; fear not. And when he had turned 
 in to her into the tent, she covered him 
 with a || "carpet. 
 
 19 And he said to her, Give me, I pray 
 thee, a little water to drink ; for I am 
 thirsty. And she opened *a - ' leathern' 
 bottle of milk, and gave him drink, and 
 covered him. 
 
 20 And again he said to her, Stand in the 
 door of the tent, and it shall be, when any 
 man doth come and inquire of thee, and 
 say, Is there any man here? that thou 
 shalt say, No. 
 
 21 Then Jael Heber's wife "took a I6 pin 
 of the tent, and ttook a hammer in her 
 hand, and went softly to him, and 16 drove 
 the pin into his temples, and 17 it went 
 down into the ground : for he was fast 
 asleep, and weary. So he died. 
 
 22 And behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, 
 Jael came out to meet him, and said to 
 him, Come, and I will shew thee the man 
 whom thou seekest. And when he came 
 into her tent, behold, Sisera lay dead, and 
 the 18 pin was in his temples. 
 
 23 So *God subdued on that day Jabin 
 the king of Canaan before the children of 
 Israel. 
 
 24 And the hand of the children of Israel 
 tprospered, and prevailed against Jabin the 
 king of Canaan, until they had destroyed 
 Jabm king of Canaan. 
 
 CHAPTER V. 
 
 The song of Deborah and Barak. 
 
 THEN "sung Deborah and Barak the 
 son of Abinoam on that day, saying, 
 
 2 Praise ye Jehovah that the 'leaders led 
 in Israel, c that the people willingly offered 
 themselves. 
 
 3 d Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye 
 
 frinces; I, even I, will sing to Jehovah; 
 will sing praise to Jehovah God of Israel. 
 
 4 Jehovah, 'when thou wentest out of 
 Seir, when thou marchedst out of the field 
 of Edom, 'the earth trembled, and the 
 heavens dropped, the clouds also dropped 
 water. 
 
 5 f The mountains t 2 flowed down from 
 before Jehovah, even "that Sinai from be- 
 fore Jehovah God of Israel. 
 
 6 In the days of 'Shamgar the son of 
 Anath, in the days of Maei, 'the highways 
 were unoccupied, and the ttravellers walk- 
 ed through tby-ways. 
 
 7 3 The villages 4 were unoccupied, they 
 were unoccupied in Israel, until that I 
 Deborah arose, that I arose m a mother in 
 Israel. 
 
 8 They "chose new gods ; then was war 
 in the gates: "was there a shield or a spear 
 seen among forty thousand in Israel ? 
 
 9 My heart is towards the governors of 
 Israel that ^offered themselves willingly 
 among the people : Bless ye Jehovah. 
 
 10 f || 95 Sing, ye that ride on white asses, 
 s ye that sit in judgment, and walk by the 
 way.

 of archers 6 at the watering-troughs, there 
 shall they rehearse the t 'righteous acts of 
 Jehovah, even the righteous acts towards

The song of Deborah and Barak. 
 
 ' his villages in Israel : then shall the peo- 
 ple of Jehovah go down to the gates. 
 
 12 "Awake, awake, Deborah ; awake, 
 awake, utter a song: arise, Barak, and 
 "lead thy captivity captive, thou son of 
 Abinoam. 
 
 13 Then he made him that remaineth 
 *have dominion over the nobles among the 
 people : Jehovah made me have dominion 
 over the mighty. 
 
 14 *Out of Ephraim was there a root of 
 them "against Amalek ; after thee, Benja 
 min, among thy people; out of 'Machir 
 came down governors, and out of Zebulun 
 they that t 8 hold the pen of the writer. 
 
 15 And the princes of Issachar were with 
 Deborah; even Issachar, and also 'Barak: 
 he was sent on tfoot into the valley. ||For 
 the divisions of Reuben there were great 
 "^determinations of heart. 
 
 16 Why abodest thou "among the sheep- 
 folds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks ? 
 || For the divisions of Reuben there were 
 great searchings of heart. 
 
 17 e Gilead abode beyond Jordan: and 
 why did Dan remain in ships ? 'Asher 
 continued on the sea-|)shore, and abode in 
 his '"rough places. 
 
 18 ^Zebulun and Naphtali were a people 
 that tjeoparded their lives to the death 
 "on the high places of the field. 
 
 19 The Icings came and fought, then 
 fought the kings of Canaan in Taanach 
 by the waters of Megiddo ; ''they took no 
 ^booty of silver. 
 
 _ 20 'They fought from heaven ; Hhe stars 
 in their tcourses fought against Sisera. 
 
 21 'The 13 torrent of Kishon swept them 
 away, that ancient "torrent, the ''torrent 
 Kishon. O my soul, thou hast trodden 
 down strength. 
 
 22 Then '^the horse-hoofs "stamped by 
 the means of the 18 swift courses, the "swift 
 courses of their mighty ones. 
 
 23 Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of 
 Jehovah, curse ye bitterly the inhabitants 
 thereof; "because they came not to the 
 help n of Jehovah, to the help of Jehovah 
 against the mighty. 
 
 24 Blessed above women shall "Jael the 
 wife of Heber the Kenite be, 'blessed shall 
 she be above women in the tent. 
 
 25 'He asked water, and she gave him 
 milk ; she brought forth butter in a lordly 
 dish. 
 
 26 r She put her hand to the ^pin, and 
 her right hand to the workmen's hammer ; 
 and t 21 she smote Sisera, she ^crushed his 
 head, M she even shattered and pierced his 
 temples. 
 
 27 tAt her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay 
 down : at her feet he bowed, he fell : where 
 he bowed, there he fell down tdead. 
 
 28 The mother of Sisera looked out at a 
 window, and cried through the lattice, 
 Why is his chariot so long in coming ? why 
 tarry the ^tracks of his chariots? 
 
 29 Her wise ladies answered her, yea, 
 she returned tanswer to herself, 
 
 30 'Have they not 25 found ? have they not 
 divided the prey; tto 26 each man a damsel or 
 two ; to Sisera a prey of divers colours, a 
 prey of divers colours of needle-work, of di- 
 vers colours of needle-work on both sides,

 CHAPTER VI. 
 
 1 The Israelites for their sin are oppressed by Midi- 
 an. 8 A prophet rebuketh them. 11 An angel send- 
 eth Gideon for their deliverance. 17 Gideon's 
 present is consumed with fire. 24 Gideon destroyeth 
 Baal's altar, and offereth a sacrifice upon the altar 
 Jehovah's peace. 28 Joash defendeth his son, and 
 calleth him Jerubbaal. 33 Gideon's army. 36 Gi-

 A ND the children of Israel did evil in 
 -£*- the sight of Jehovah : and Jehovah 
 delivered them into the hand 'of Midian 
 seven years. 
 
 2 And the hand of Midian tprevailed 
 against Israel : and because of the Midi- 
 anites the children of Israel made them 
 'the dens which are in the mountains, and 
 caves, and strong 'places: 
 
 3 And so it was, when Israel had sown, 
 that the Midianites came up, and d the 
 Amalekites, c and the children of the east, 
 even they came up against them : 
 
 4 And they encamped against them, and 
 'destroyed the increase of the earth, till 
 thou 2 comest to Gaza; and left no suste- 
 nance for Israel, neither ||sheep, nor ox, 
 nor ass. 
 
 5 For they came up with their cattle and 
 their tents, and they came f3 like locusts 
 for multitude; for both they and their 
 camels were without number: and they 
 entered into the land to destroy it. 
 
 6 And Israel was greatly impoverished 
 because of the Midianites ; and the child- 
 ren of Israel "cried to Jehovah. 
 
 7 % And it came to pass, when the child- 
 ren of Israel cried to Jehovah because of 
 the Midianites, 
 
 8 That Jehovah sent ta prophet to the 
 children of Israel, who said to them, Thus 
 saith Jehovah God of Israel, I brought 
 you up from Egypt, and brought you forth 
 out of the house of "bondmen; 
 
 9 And I delivered you out of the hand 
 of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of 
 all that oppressed you, and 'drove them 
 out from before you, and gave you their 
 land; 
 
 10 And I said to you, I am Jehovah your 
 God; "reverence not the gods of the Amo- 
 rites, in whose land ye dwell : but ye have 
 not obeyed my voice. 
 
 11 If And there came an angel of Jeho- 
 vah, and sat under an oak which was in 
 Ophrah, that ^belonged to Joash 'the Abi- 
 ezrite: and his son "Gideon threshed 
 wheat by the wine-press, tto hide it from 
 the Midianites. 
 
 12 And the "angel of Jehovah appeared 
 to him, and said to him, Jehovah is "with 
 thee, thou mighty man of valour. 
 
 13 And Gideon said to him, O my Lord, if 
 Jehovah be with us, why then 7 hath all this 
 befallen us ? and 'where "are all his mira- 
 cles 'which our fathers told us of, saying, 
 Did not Jehovah bring us up from Egypt? 
 but now Jehovah hath 'forsaken us, and 
 delivered us into the hands of the Midi- 
 anites. 
 
 14 And Jehovah looked upon him, and 
 said, 'Go in this thy might, and thou shalt 
 save Israel from the hand of the Midian- 
 ites: 'have not I sent thee ? 
 
 15 And he said to him, O my Lord, 9 how 
 
Gideon is sent to deliver them. 
 
 shall I save Israel ? behold, "tmy family is 
 poor in Manasseh, and I am the '"lowest 
 in my father's house. 
 
 16 And Jehovah said to him, *Surely I 
 will be with thee, and thou shalt smite the 
 Midianites as one man. 
 
 17 And he said to him, If now I have 
 found grace in thy sight, then "shew me a 
 sign that thou falsest with me. 
 
 18 ^Depart not hence, I pray thee, until 
 I come to thee, and bring forth my "meal- 
 offering, and set it before thee. And he 
 said, I will tarry until thou I2 comest again. 
 
 19 If "And Gideon went in, and made 
 ready ta kid, and unleavened cakes of an 
 ephan of flour : the flesh he put in a basket, 
 and he put the broth in a pot, and brought 
 it out to him under the oak, and present- 
 ed it. 
 
 20 And the angel of God said to him, 
 Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, 
 and lay them upon this rock, and c pour 
 out the "broth. And he did so. 
 
 21 If Then the angel of Jehovah put forth 
 the end of the staff that was in his hand, 
 and touched the flesh and the unleavened 
 cakes ; and ''there rose up fire out of the 
 rock, and consumed the flesh and the un- 
 leavened cakes. Then the angel of Jeho- 
 vah departed out of his sight. 
 
 22 And when Gideon 'perceived that he 
 was an angel of Jehovah, Gideon said, 
 Alas, Lord Jehovah ! ^for 13 1 have seen 
 an angel of Jehovah face to face. 
 
 23 And Jehovah said to him, fPeace be 
 to thee ; fear not : thou shalt not die. 
 
 24 Then Gideon built an altar there to 
 the Lord, and called it || "Jehovah's Peace : 
 to this day it is yet 'in Ophrah of the Abi- 
 ezrites. 
 
 25 ^f And it came to pass the same night, 
 that Jehovah said to him, Take thy father's 
 young bullock, ||even the second bullock 
 of seven years old, and throw down the 
 altar of Baal that thy father hath, and 'cut 
 down the grove that is by it : 
 
 26 And build an altar to Jehovah thy 
 God upon the top of this t 15 rock, ||in the 
 ordered place, and take the second bullock, 
 and offer a burnt -sacrifice with the wood 
 of the grove which thou shalt cut down. 
 
 27 Then Gideon took ten men of his 
 servants, and did as Jehovah had said to 
 him : and so it was, because he feared his 
 father's household, and the men of the 
 city, ' so' that he could not do it by day, 
 that he did it by night. 
 
 28 If And when the men of the city arose 
 early in the morning, behold, the altar of 
 Baal was cast down, and the grove was 
 cut down that was by it, and the second 
 bullock was offered upon the altar that was 
 built. 
 
 29 And they said one to another, Who 
 hath done this thing? And when they in- 
 quired and asked, they said, Gideon the 
 son of Joash hath done this thing. 
 
 30 Then the men of the city said to Jo- 
 ash, Bring out thy son, that he may die : 
 because he hath cast down the altar of 
 Baal, and because he hath cut down the 
 grove that was by it. 
 
 31 And Joash said to all that stood against 
 him, Will ye 16 plead for Baal ? will ye 
 save him ? he that will plead for him, let 
 him be put to death whilst it is yet morn-

 33 If Then all 'the Midianites, and the 
 Amalekites, and the children of the east 
 were gathered together, and went over, 
 and pitched in m the valley of Jezreel. 
 
 34 But "the Spirit of Jehovah tcame upon 
 Gideon, and he "blew a trumpet ; and Abi- 
 ezer twas gathered after him. 
 
 35 And he sent messengers throughout 
 all Manasseh ; who also was gathered after 
 him: and he sent messengers to Asher, 
 and to Zebulun, and to Naphtali ; and they 
 came up to meet them. 
 
 36 If And Gideon said to God, If thou 
 wilt save Israel by my hand, as thou hast 
 said, 
 
 37 p Behold, I will put a fleece of wool in 
 the floor : and if the dew be on the fleece 
 only, and it be dry upon all the earth be- 
 sides, then shall I know that thou wilt 
 save Israel by my hand, as thou hast said. 
 
 38 And it was so : for he rose up early 
 on the morrow, and thrust the fleece to- 
 gether, and wringed the dew out of the 
 fleece, a bowl -full of water. 
 
 39 And Gideon said to God, ? Let not 
 thine anger be hot against me, and I will 
 speak but this once : Let me ,6 make trial, 
 I pray thee, but this once with the fleece ; 
 let it now be dry only upon the fleece, and 
 upon all the ground let there be dew. 
 
 40 And God did so that night : for it was 
 dry upon the fleece only, and there was 
 dew on all the ground. 
 
 CHAPTER VII. 
 
 1 Gideon's army of two and thirty thousand is brought 
 to three hundred. 9 He is encouraged by the dream 
 and interpretation of the barley-cake. 16 His 
 stratagem of trumpets and lamps in pitchers. 24 
 The Ephraimites take Oreb and Zeeb. 
 
 THEN "Jerubbaal (who is Gideon) and 
 all the people that were with him, rose 
 up early and pitched beside the 'fountain 
 of Harod : so that the host of the Midian- 
 ites was on the north side of them by the 
 hill of Moreh, in the valley, 
 
 2 And Jehovah said to Gideon, The peo- 
 ple that are with thee are too many for me 
 to give the Midianites into their hands, 
 lest Israel iZ boast themselves against me, 
 saying, Mine own hand hath saved me. 
 
 3 Now therefore go s , proclaim in the 
 ••hearing of the people, saying, 'Whoever 
 is fearful and 5 terrified, let him return and 
 depart 6 from mount Gilead. And there 
 returned of the people twenty and two thou- 
 sand; and there remained ten thousand. 
 
 4 And Jehovah said to Gideon, The peo- 
 ple are yet too many ; bring them down to 
 the water, and I will try them for thee 
 there; and it shall be that 'Ae' of whom I 
 say to thee, This ' one' shall go with thee, 
 the same shall go with thee ; and of whom- 
 soever I say to thee, This ' one' shall not 
 go with thee, the same shall not go. 
 
 5 So he brought down the people to the 
 water : and Jehovah said to Gideon ; Every 
 one thatlappeth of the water with his tongue 
 as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by 
 himself; likewise every one that boweth 
 down upon his knees to drink. 
 
 183 
 
Gideon 's stratagem. 
 
 6 And the number of them that lapped, 
 putting their hands to their mouths, was 
 three hundred men: but all the rest of the 
 people bowed down upon their knees to 
 drink water. 
 
 7 And Jehovah said to Gideon, d By the 
 three hundred men that lapped will I save 
 you, and deliver the Midianites into thy 
 hand : and let all the other people go 'each 
 man to his place. 
 
 8 So the people took victuals in their 
 hands, and their trumpets : and he sent all 
 the rest of Israel 8 each man to his tent, and 
 retained those three hundred men. And 
 the host of Midian was beneath him in the 
 valley. 
 
 9 If And it came to pass the same e night, 
 that Jehovah said to him, Arise, 9 go down 
 to the host ; for I have delivered it into 
 thy hand. 
 
 10 But if thou fear to go down, go thou 
 with Phurah thy servant down to the 
 host: 
 
 11 And thou shalt / hear what they say; and 
 afterward shall thy hands be strengthened 
 to go down "against the host. Then went 
 he down with Phurah his servant to the 
 outside of the Harmed men that were in the 
 host. 
 
 12 And the Midianites, and the Ama- 
 lekites, *and all the children of the east, 
 lay along in the valley like "locusts for 
 multitude ; and their camels were without 
 number, as the sand 12 on the sea- I4 shore 
 for multitude. 
 
 13 And when Gideon was come, behold, 
 there was a man that told a dream to his 
 fellow, and said, Behold, I dreamed a 
 dream, and lo, a cake of barley-bread 
 tumbled into the host of Midian, and came 
 to a tent, and smote it, u and it fell, and 
 overturned it, 15 and the tent lay along. 
 
 14 And his fellow answered, and said, 
 This is nothing else 16 but the sword of Gi- 
 deon the son of Joash, a man of Israel : for 
 into his hand hath God delivered Midian, 
 and all the host. 
 
 15 If And it "came to pass, when Gideon 
 heard the telling of the dream, and tthe 
 interpretation thereof, that he worshipped, 
 and returned into the host of Israel, and 
 said, Arise ; for Jehovah hath delivered 
 into your hands the host of Midian. 
 
 16 And he divided the three hundred 
 men into three companies, and he put ta 
 trumpet in every man's hand, with empty 
 pitchers, and ||lamps within the pitchers. 
 
 17 And he said to them, Look on me, 
 and do likewise : and behold, when I come 
 to the "edge of the camp, it shall be that 
 as I do, so shall ye do. 
 
 18 When I blow with a trumpet, I and 
 all that are with me, then blow ye the 
 trumpets also on every side of all the 
 camp, and say, The sword of Jehovah, 
 and of Gideon. 
 
 19 If So Gideon, and the hundred men 
 that were with him, came to the "edge of 
 the camp in the beginning of the middle 
 watch; and they had but newly set the 
 watch : and they blew the trumpets, and 
 broke, the pitchers that were'xn their hands. 
 
 20 And the three companies blew the 
 trumpets, and broke the pitchers, and held 
 the lamps in their left hands, and the trum- 
 pets in their right hands to blow m : and

 The Midianites put to flight 
 
 they cried, The sword of Jehovah, and of 
 Gideon. 
 
 21 And they "stood 21 each man in his place 
 round about the camp : 'and all the host 
 ran, and cried, and fled. 
 
 22 And the three hundred *blew the trum- 
 pets, and /Jehovah set m22 each man's sword 
 against his fellow, even throughout all the 
 host : and the host fled to Beth-shittah ||in 
 Zererath, and to the tborder of Abel-me- 
 holah, to Tabbath. 
 
 23 And the men of Israel gathered them- 
 selves together out of Naphtali, and out 
 of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and 
 pursued after the Midianites. 
 
 24 ^ And Gideon sent messengers through- 
 out all "mount Ephraim, saying, Come down 
 against the Midianites, ana take before 
 them the waters 23 even to Beth-barah and 
 Jordan. Then all the men of Ephraim 
 gathered themselves together, and "took the 
 waters ^even to p Beth-barah and Jordan. 
 
 25 And they took «two princes of the 
 Midianites, Oreb and Zeeb; and they slew 
 Oreb upon the rock Oreb, and Zeeb they 
 slew at the wine-press of Zeeb, and pur- 
 sued Midian, and brought the heads of 
 Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon on the 'other 
 side ' of Jordan. 
 
 CHAPTER VIII. 
 
 1 Gideon pacifieth the Ephraimites. 4 Succoth and 
 Penuel refuse to relieve Gideon's army. 10 Zebah 
 and Zalmunna are taken. 13 Succoth and Penuel 
 are destroyed. 17 Gideon revengeth his brethren's 
 death on Zebah and Zalmunna. 22 He refuseth 
 government. 24 His ephod ' a' cause of idolatry. 
 28 Midian subdued. 29 Gideon's children,, and 
 death. 33 The Israelites' idolatry and ingratitude. 
 
 AND "the men of Ephraim said to him, 
 tWhy hast thou served us thus, that 
 thou calledst us not when thou wentest to 
 fight with the Midianites? and they did 
 'strive with him t 2 fiercely. 
 
 2 And he said to them, What have I done 
 now in comparison 3 with you ? Is not the 
 gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better 
 than the vintage of Abi-ezer r 
 
 3 6 God hath delivered into your hands 
 the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb : 
 and what was I able to do in comparison 
 4 with you ? Then their t c anger was abated 
 towards him, when he had said that. 
 
 4 If And Gideon came to Jordan, and 
 passed over, he, and the three hundred men 
 that were with him, faint, yet pursuing 6 . 
 
 5 And he said to the men of ^Succoth, 
 Give, I pray you, loaves of bread to the 
 people that follow me : for they e are faint, 
 and I am pursuing after Zebah and Zal- 
 munna, kings of Midian. 
 
 6 1f And the princes of Succoth said, 'Are 
 the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in 
 thy hand, that Ave should give bread to 
 thme army ? 
 
 7 And Gideon said, Therefore when Je- 
 hovah hath delivered Zebah and Zalmun- 
 na into my hand, then I will 'thresh your 
 flesh with the thorns of the "waste region 
 and with 9 threshing-sledges. 
 
 8 If And he went up thence 'to Penuel, 
 and spoke to them likewise : and the men 
 of Penuel answered him as the men of 
 Succoth had answered him. 
 
 9 And he spoke also to the men of Penuel, 
 saying, When I 'come again in peace, *I 
 will break down this tower. 
 
Zebah and Zalmunna are slain. 
 
 10 IT Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in 
 Karkor, and their hosts with them, about 
 fifteen thousand men, all that were left of 
 'all the hosts of the children of the east 
 for there fell ||a hundred and twenty thou 
 sand men that drew ' the' sword. 
 
 11 17 And Gideon went up by the way of 
 them that dwelt in tents on the east of 
 m Nobah and Jogbehah, and smote the host : 
 for the host was "secure. 
 
 12 And when Zebah and Zalmunna fled, 
 he pursued after them, and "took the two 
 kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, 
 and tdiscomfited all the host. 
 
 13 ^f And Gideon the son of Joash re- 
 turned from battle before 'the rising of 
 the sun 10 , 
 
 14 And caught a youne man of the men 
 of Succoth, and inquired of him : and he 
 tdescribed to him the princes of Succoth, 
 and the elders thereof, even threescore and 
 seventeen men. 
 
 15 And he came to the men of Succoth, 
 and said, Behold Zebah and Zalmunna, 
 with whom ye did ^upbraid me, saying, 
 Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna 
 now in thy hand, that we should give 
 bread to thy men u who are faint? 
 
 16 ? And he took the elders of the city, 
 and thorns of the I2 waste region, and 
 13 threshing-sledges, and with them he 
 ttaught the men of Succoth. 
 
 17 r And he beat down the tower of 'Pe- 
 nuel, and slew the men of the city. 
 
 18 If Then said he to Zebah and Zalmun- 
 na, What "kind of men were those whom 
 ye slew at 'Tabor ? And they answered, 
 As thou art, so were they; each one tre- 
 sembled the children of a king. 
 
 19 And he said, They were my brethren, 
 even the sons of my mother : as Jehovah 
 liveth, if ye had saved them alive, I would 
 not slay you. 
 
 20 And he said to Jether his first-born, 
 ''Rise, and slay them. But the youth drew 
 not his sword : for he feared, because he 
 was yet a youth. 
 
 21 Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, Rise 
 thou, and I6 smite us : for as the man is, so 
 
 his strength. And Gideon arose, and 
 
 CHAPTER IX. 
 
 is 
 
 "slew Zebah and Zalmunna, and took 
 away the || "crescents that were on their 
 camels' necks. 
 
 22 If Then the men of Israel said to Gide- 
 on, Rule thou over us, both thou, and thy 
 son, and thy son's son also : for thou hast 
 delivered us from the hand of Midian. 
 
 23 And Gideon said to them, I will not 
 rule over you, neither shall my son rule 
 over you : "Jehovah shall rule over you. 
 
 24 If And Gideon said to them, I would 
 desire a request of you, that you would give 
 me 18 each man the ear-rings of his "booty. 
 (For they had golden ear-rings, "because 
 they were Ishmaelites.) 
 
 25 And they answered, We will willingly 
 give them. And they spread a garment, 
 and did cast therein 20 each man the ear- 
 rings of his 2, booty. 
 
 26 And the weight of the golden ear-rings 
 that he requested, was a thousand and seven 
 hundred shekels of gold ; besides ^crescents, 
 and pearl ear-rings, and purple raiment 
 that was on the kings of Midian, and be- 
 sides the chains that were about their ca- 
 mels' necks.

 and all Israel 'went thither K lewdly after 
 it: which thing became 'a snare to Gideon, 
 and to his house. 
 
 28 If Thus was Midian subdued before 
 the children of Israel, so that they lifted 
 up their heads no more. d And the country 
 was in quietness forty years in the days of 
 Gideon. 
 
 29 If And Jerubbaal the son of Joash went 
 and dwelt in his own house. 
 
 30 And Gideon had 'threescore and ten 
 sons tof his body begotten: for he had 
 many wives. 
 
 31 'And his concubine that was in She- 
 chem, she also bore him a son, whose name 
 he tcalled Abimelech. 
 
 52 ^ And Gideon the son of Joash died 
 f in a good old age, and was buried in the 
 sepulchre of Joash his father, *in Ophrah 
 of the Abi -ezrites. 
 
 33 And it came to pass *as soon as Gide- 
 on was dead, that the children of Israel 
 turned again, and *went ^lewdly after 
 Baalim, 'and made Baal-berith their god. 
 
 34 And the children of Israel "remem- 
 bered not Jehovah their God, who had 
 delivered them out of the hands of all 
 their enemies on every side : 
 
 35 "Neither shewed they kindness to the 
 house of Jerubbaal, namely, Gideon, ac- 
 cording to all the goodness which he had 
 shewed to Israel. 
 
 CHAPTER IX. 
 
 1 Abimelech by conspiracy with the Shechemites, and 
 murder of his brethren, is made king. 7 Jotham 
 by a parable rebuketh them, and foretelleth their 
 ruin. 22 Gaal conspireth with the Shechemites 
 against him. 30 Zebul revealeth it. 34 Abime- 
 lech overcometh them, and soweth the city with salt. 
 46 He burnetii the hold of the god Berith. 50 At 
 Thebez he is slain by a piece of a millstone. 56 Jo- 
 tham's curse is fulfilled. 
 
 AND Abimelech the son of Jerubbaal 
 went to Shechem to "his mother's 
 brethren, and 'talked with them, and with 
 all the family of the house of his mother's 
 father, saying, 
 
 2 Speak, I pray you, in the 2 hearing of all 
 the 3 citizens of Shechem, t 4 Which is best 
 for you, either that all the sons of Jerub- 
 baal, who are 'threescore and ten persons, 
 reign over you, or that one reign over you ? 
 remember also that I am c your bone and 
 your flesh. 
 
 ~ And his mother's brethren spoke of him 
 in the 5 hearing of all the men of Shechem 
 all these words : and their hearts inclined 
 tto follow Abimelech; for they said, He is 
 our ''brother. 
 
 4 And they gave him threescore and ten 
 ^shekels of silver out of the house of 'Baal- 
 berith, with which Abimelech hired 'vain 
 and light persons, who followed him. 
 
 5 And he went to his father's house *at 
 Ophrah, and "slew his brethren the sons of 
 Jerubbaal, being threescore and ten per- 
 sons, upon one stone : notwithstanding, yet 
 Jotham the youngest son of Jerubbaal was 
 left ; for he hid himself. 
 
 6 And all the 'citizens of Shechem gather- 
 ed together, and all the house of Millo, 
 and went and made Abimelech king, tby 
 the 8 oak of the 'garrison that was in- She- 
 chem. 
 
 7 If And when they told it to Jotham, he 
 
 185 
 
Jotham's parable. 
 
 went and stood 10 on the top of 'mount Ge- 
 rizim, and lifted up his voice, and cried, 
 and said to them, Hearken to me, ye "citi- 
 zens of Shechem, that God may hearken 
 to you. 
 
 8 The trees went forth ,2 to anoint a king 
 over "themselves; and they said to the 
 olive-tree, 'Reign thou over us. 
 
 9 But the olive-tree said to them, Should 
 I leave my fatness, ""wherewith by me they 
 honour God and man, and tgo to 14 rule over 
 the trees ? 
 
 10 And the trees said to the fig-tree, 
 Come thou, and reign over us. 
 
 11 But the fig-tree said to them, Should 
 I forsake my sweetness, and my good fruit, 
 and go to I5 rule over the trees ? 
 
 12 Then said the trees to the vine, Come 
 thou, and reign over us. 
 
 13 And the vine said to them, Should I 
 leave my ' new' wine, "which cheereth God 
 and man, and go to l6 rule over the trees ? 
 
 14 Then said all the trees to the || "thorn, 
 Come thou, and reign over us. 
 
 15 And the I8 thorn said to the trees, If in 
 truth ye anoint me king over you, then 
 come and put your trust in my "shadow : 
 and if not, p let fire come out of the 19 thorn, 
 and devour the ? cedars of Lebanon. 
 
 16 Now therefore, if ye have done truly 
 and sincerely, in that ye have made Abi- 
 melech king, and if ye have dealt well with 
 Jerubbaal and his house, and have done 
 to him 'according to the deserving of his 
 hands : 
 
 IT (For my father fought for you, and 
 t 20 ventured his life far, and delivered you 
 out of the hand of Midian : 
 
 18 'And ye are risen up against my fa- 
 ther's house this day, and have slain his 
 sons, threescore and ten persons, upon one 
 stone, and have made Abimelech, the son 
 of his maid-servant, king over the ^citi- 
 zens of Shechem, because he is your bro- 
 ther 
 
 19 If ye then have dealt truly and sin- 
 cerely with Jerubbaal and with his house 
 this day, then 'rejoice ye in Abimelech, 
 and let him also rejoice in you : 
 
 20 But if not, "let fire come out from 
 Abimelech, and devour the 22 citizens of 
 Schechem, and the house of Millo ; and 
 let fire come out from the ^citizens of 
 Shechem, and from the house of Millo, 
 and devour Abimelech. 
 
 21 And Jotham ran away, and fled, and 
 went to *Beer, and dwelt there, for fear 
 of Abimelech his brother. 
 
 22 If When Abimelech had reigned three 
 years over Israel, 
 
 23 Then ¥ God sent an evil spirit between 
 Abimelech and the '"citizens of Shechem 
 and the 25 citizens of Shechem *dealt treach 
 erously with Abimelech : 
 
 . 24 "That the 26 wrong done to the three 
 score and ten sons of Jerubbaal might 
 come, and their blood be laid upon Abime- 
 lech their brother who slew them, and 
 upon the "citizens of Shechem who taided 
 him in 28 killing 29 his brethren. 
 
 25 And the 30 citizens_ of Shechem set 
 liers in wait for him in the top of the 
 mountains, and they robbed all that came 
 along. that way by them: and it was told 
 Abimelech.

 Gaal conspires against Jlbimelech. 
 
 his brethren, and went over to Shechem : 
 and the men of Shechem put their confi- 
 dence in him. 
 
 27 And they went out into the fields, and 
 gathered their vineyards, and trode the 
 grapes, and made || "rejoicings, and went 
 into 'the house of their god, and did eat ' 
 and drink, and cursed Abimelech. 
 
 28 And Gaal the son of Ebed said, "Who 
 is Abimelech, and who is Shechem, that 
 we should serve him ? is not he the son of 
 Jerubbaal? and Zebul his officer? serve 
 the men of d Hamor the father of Shechem : 
 for why should we serve him ? 
 
 29 e32 Now O that this people were under 
 my hand ! then would I remove Abimelech. 
 And he said to Abimelech, Increase thine 
 army, and come out. 
 
 30 If And when Zebul the ruler of the 
 city heard the words of Gaal the son of 
 Ebed, his anger was ||kindled. 
 
 31 And he sent messengers to Abimelech 
 ^craftily, saying, Behold, Gaal the son of 
 Ebed, and his brethren ^are come to She- 
 chem; and behold, they fortify the city 
 against thee. 
 
 32 Now therefore 35 rise by night, thou, 
 and the ^people 36 who are with thee, and lie 
 in wait in the field : 
 
 S3 And it shall be, that in the morning, 
 as soon as the sun is up, thou shalt rise 
 early, and 37 attack the city: and behold, 
 when he and the people 38 who are with him 
 come out against thee, then mayest thou 
 do to them tas thou shalt find occasion. 
 
 34 If And Abimelech rose up, and all the 
 people who were with him, by night, and 
 they laid wait against Shechem in four 
 companies. 
 
 35 And Gaal the son of Ebed went out, 
 and stood in the entering of the gate of the 
 city : and Abimelech rose up, and the peo- 
 ple who were with him, from lying in wait. 
 
 36 And when Gaal saw the people, he 
 said to Zebul, Behold, there come people 
 down from the top of the mountains. And 
 Zebul said to him, Thou seest the shadow 
 of the mountains as if they were men. 
 
 37 And Gaal spoke again, and said, See, 
 there come people down by the tmiddle of 
 the land, and another company come along 
 by the 39 oaks of HMeonenim. 
 
 38 Then said Zebul to him, Where is now 
 thy mouth, wherewith thou ^saidst, Who is 
 Abimelech, that we would serve him? is 
 not this the people that thou hast despised r 
 go out, I pray now, and fight with them. 
 
 39 And Gaal went out before the 40 citi- 
 zens of Shechem, and fought with Abime- 
 lech. 
 
 40 And Abimelech chased him, and he 
 fled before him, and many were over- 
 thrown and wounded, even to the 41 en- 
 trance of the gate. 
 
 41 And Abimelech dwelt at Arumah: 
 and Zebul thrust out Gaal and his brethren, 
 that they should not dwell in Shechem. 
 
 42 And it came to pass on the morrow, 
 that the people went out into the field ; 
 and they told Abimelech. 
 
 43 And he took the people, and divided 
 them into three companies, and laid wait 
 in the field, and looked, and behold, the 
 people 42 had come forth out of the city; 
 and he rose up against them, and smote 
 them. 
 
Abimelech killed at Thebez.

 44 And Abimelech, and the company that 
 was with him, rushed forward, and stood 
 in the entering of the gate of the city : and 
 the two other companies '•'attacked all the 
 people that were in the fields, and slew 
 them. 
 
 45 And Abimelech fought against the 
 city all that day ; and 4ie took the city, 
 and slew the people that were therein, 
 and "beat down the city, and sowed it with 
 salt. 
 
 46 If And when all the "citizens of the 
 tower of Shechem heard that, they entered 
 into a 46 tower of the house 'of the god Be- 
 rith. 
 
 47 And it was told Abimelech, that all 
 the 46 citizens of the tower of Shechem 
 were gathered together. 
 
 48 And Abimelech 47 went up to mount 
 *Zalmon, he and all the people that were 
 with him ; and Abimelech took an axe in 
 his hand, and cut down a bough from the 
 trees, and took it, and laid it on his should- 
 er, and said to the people that were with 
 him, What ye have seen tme do, make 
 haste, and do as I have done. 
 
 49 And all the people likewise cut down 
 every man his bough, and followed Abime- 
 lech, and put them to the 48 tower, and set 
 the 49 tower on fire upon them : so that all 
 the 50 citizens of the tower of Shechem died 
 also, about a thousand men and women. 
 
 50 1f Then went Abimelech to Thebez, 
 and encamped against Thebez, and took it. 
 
 51 But there was a strong tower 51 in the 
 midst of the city, and thither fled all the 
 men and women, and all 52 those of the 
 city, and shut it 53 after them, and 64 went 
 up to the top of the tower. 
 
 52 And Abimelech came to the tower, 
 and fought against it, and went 53 near to 
 the door of the tower to burn it with fire. 
 
 53 And a certain woman 'cast s6 an upper- 
 millstone upon Abimelech's head, "that 
 she might break his skull. 
 
 54* Then m he called hastily to the young 
 man his armour-bearer, and said to him, 
 Draw thy sword, and slay me, that men 
 say not of me, A woman slew him. And 
 his young man thrust him through, and he 
 died. 
 
 55 And when the men of Israel saw that 
 Abimelech was dead, they departed 58 each 
 man to his place. 
 
 56 U "Thus God rendered the wicked- 
 ness of Abimelech, which he did to his 
 father, in slaying his seventy brethren : 
 
 57 And all the evil of the men of She- 
 chem did God render upon their heads: 
 and upon them came "the curse of Jotham 
 the son of Jerubbaal.

 12 "The Zidonians also, y and the Ama- 
 lekites, and the Maonites 'did oppress you ; 
 and ye cried to me, and I delivered you 
 out of their hand. 
 
 13 r Yet ye have forsaken me, and served 
 other gods : wherefore I will deliver you 
 no more. 
 
 14 Go and 'cry to the gods which ye have 
 chosen ; let them deliver you in the time 
 of your tribulation. 
 
 15 If And the children of Israel said to 
 Jehovah, We have sinned : 'do thou to us 
 whatever t seemeth good to thee ; deliver 
 Us only, we pray thee, this day. 
 
 16 "And they put away the tstrange gods 
 from among them, ana served Jehovah : 
 and x his soul twas grieved for the misery 
 of Israel. 
 
 17 Then the children of Ammon were 
 tgathered together, and encamped in Gi- 
 lead. And the children of Israel assem- 
 bled themselves together, and encamped 
 in "Mizpeh. 
 
 18 And the people and princes of Gilead 
 said one to another, What man is he that 
 will begin to fight against the children of 
 Ammon? he shall *be head over all the 
 inhabitants of Gilead. 
 
 CHAPTER XI. 
 
 1 The covenant between Jephthah and the Gileadites, 
 that he should be their head. 12 The treaty of 
 peace between Mm and the Ammonites is in vain. 
 29 Jephthah's vow. 32 His conquest of the Am- 
 monites. 34 Heperformeth his vow on his daughter. 
 
 NOW "Jephthah the Gileadite was *a 
 mighty man of valour, and he was 
 the son of ta harlot: and Gilead begot 
 Jephthah. 
 2 And Gilead's wife bore him sons ; and 
 his wife's sons grew up, and they 'drove 
 
 187 
 
Jephthah is chosen captain. 
 
 out Jephthah, and said to him, Thou shalt 
 not inherit in our father's house ; for thou 
 art the son of a strange woman. 
 
 3 Then Jephthah fled tfrom his brethren, 
 and dwelt in the land of Tob : and there 
 were gathered e2 worthless men to Jephthah, 
 and went out with him. 
 
 4 If And it came to pass tin process of 
 time, that the children of Ammon made 
 war against Israel. 
 
 5 And it 'came to pass, that when the 
 children of Ammon made war against Is- 
 rael, the elders of Gilead went to bring 
 Jephthah out of the land of Tob : 
 
 6 And they said to Jephthah, Come, and 
 be our ^leader, that we may fight with the 
 children of Ammon. 
 
 7 And Jephthah said to the elders of Gi- 
 lead, ''Did not ye hate me, and 6 drive me 
 out of my father's house ? and why 6 haye 
 ye come to me now when ye are in dis- 
 tress ? 
 
 8 'And the elders of Gilead said to Jeph- 
 thah, Therefore we -turn again to thee now, 
 that thou mayest go with us, and fight 
 against the children of Ammon, and be 
 *our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead. 
 
 9 And Jephthah said to the elders of Gi- 
 lead, If ye bring me home again to fight 
 against the children of Ammon, and Je- 
 hovah deliver them before me, shall I be 
 your head ? 
 
 10 And the elders of Gilead said to Jeph- 
 thah, * Jehovah tbe witness between us, if 
 we do not so according to thy words. 
 
 11 Then Jephthah went with the elders 
 of Gilead, and the people made him 'bead 
 and 'leader over them : and Jephthah ut- 
 tered all his words *before Jehovah in 
 Mizpeh. 
 
 12 If And Jephthah sent messengers to 
 the king of the children of Ammon, say- 
 ing, What hast thou to do with me, that 
 thou art come against me to fight 8 against 
 my land ? 
 
 13 And the king of the children of Am- 
 mon answered to the messengers of Jeph- 
 thah, 'Because Israel took away my land, 
 when they came up out of Egypt, from 
 Arnon even to "Jabbok, and to Jordan: 
 now therefore restore those lands again 
 peaceably. 
 
 14 And Jephthah sent messengers again 
 to the king of the children of Ammon : 
 
 15 And said to him, Thus said Jephthah, 
 "Israel took not away the land of Moab, 
 nor the land of the children of Ammon : 
 
 16 But when Israel came up from Egypt, 
 and "walked through the 9 desert to the 
 Red sea, and p came to Kadesh ; 
 
 17 Then 'Israel sent messengers to the 
 king of Edom, saying, Let me, I pray thee, 
 pass through thy land: r but the king of 
 Edom would not hearken 10 . And in like 
 manner they sent to the king of Moab ; 
 but he would not "hearken. And Israel 
 'abode in Kadesh. 
 
 18 Then they went along through the 
 12 desert, and 'encompassed the land of 
 Edom, and the land of Moab, and "came 
 by the east side of the land of Moab, *and 
 pitched on the other side of Arnon, but 
 came not within the border of Moab : for 
 Arnon was the border of Moab. 
 
 19 And "Israel sent messengers to Sihon 
 king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon ;

 His vow, and conquest of the Ammonites. 
 
 and Israel said to him, *Let us pass, we 
 pray thee, through thy land to my place. 
 
 20 "But Sihon trusted not Israel to pass 
 through his "territory: but Sihon gathered 
 all his people together, and pitched in Ja- 
 haz, and fought against Israel. 
 
 21 And Jehovah God of Israel delivered 
 Sihon and all his people into the hand of 
 Israel, and they 'smote them : so Israel 
 possessed all the land of the Amorites, the 
 inhabitants of that country. 
 
 22 And they possessed c all the "territories 
 of the Amorites, from Arnon even to Jab- 
 bok, and from the 15 desert even to Jordan. 
 
 23 So now Jehovah God of Israel hath 
 dispossessed the Amorites from before his 
 people Israel, and shouldest thou possess it ? 
 
 24 Wilt not thou possess that which d Che- 
 mosh thy god giveth thee to possess ? So 
 whomsoever 'Jehovah our God shall drive 
 out from before us, them will we possess. 
 
 25 And now art thou any thing better 
 than J~Balak the son of Zippor king of 
 Moab? did he ever strive against Israel, 
 or did he ever fight agains't them, 
 
 26 While Israel dwelt in ff Heshbon and 
 her towns, and in fl Aroer and her towns, 
 and in all the cities that ie are along by the 
 "shores of Arnon, three hundred years? 
 why therefore did ye not recover them 
 within that time ? 
 
 27 Wherefore I have not sinned against 
 thee, but thou doest me wrong to war 
 against me : Jehovah 'the Judge *be judge 
 this day between the children of Israel 
 and the children of Ammon. 
 
 28 18 But the king of the children of Am- 
 mon hearkened not to the words of Jeph- 
 thah which he sent him. 
 
 29 If Then 'the Spirit of Jehovah came 
 upon ||Jephthah, and he passed over Gilead, 
 and Manasseh, and passed over Mizpeh 
 of Gilead, and from Mizpeh of Gilead he 
 passed over to the children of Ammon. 
 
 30 And Jephthah "vowed a vow to Jehovah, 
 and said, If thou 19 wilt without fail deliver 
 the children of Ammon into my hands, 
 
 31 Then it shall be, that Iwhatsoever 
 cometh forth zo from the doors of my house 
 to meet me, when I return in peace from 
 the children of Ammon, "shall surely be 
 Jehovah's, || "and I will offer it up for a 
 burnt-offering. 
 
 32 ^ So Jephthah passed over to the child- 
 ren of Ammon to fight against them : and 
 Jehovah delivered them into his hands. 
 
 S3 And he smote them from Aroer even 
 till thou comest to p Minnith, even twenty 
 cities, and to ||the 81 meadow of the vine- 
 yards, with a very great slaughter. Thus 
 the children of Ammon were subdued be- 
 fore the children of Israel. 
 
 34 If And Jephthah came to 'Mizpeh to his 
 house, and behold, iiis daughter came out 
 to meet him with 22 tabrets and with dances : 
 and she was his only child ; Htbesides her 
 he had neither son nor daughter. 
 
 35 And it came to pass, when he saw her, 
 that he 'rent his clothes, and said, Alas, my 
 daughter ! thou hast brought me very low, 
 and thou art one of them that trouble me : 
 for I 'have opened my mouth to Jehovah, 
 and "I cannot go back. 
 
 36 And she said to him, My father, if 
 thou hast opened thy mouth to Jehovah,

 proceeded out of thy mouth; M because 
 ^Jehovah hath taken vengeance for thee

 Amnion. 
 
 37 And she said to her father, Let this 
 thing be done for me : Let me alone two 
 months, that I may tgo up and down upon 
 the mountains, and bewail my virginity, I 
 and my 21 companions. 
 
 38 And he said, Go. And he sent her 
 away for two months : and she went with 
 her companions, and bewailed her virginity 
 upon the mountains. 
 
 39 And it came to pass at the end of two 
 months, that she returned to her father, 
 who 'did with her according to his vow 
 which he had vowed: and she knew no 
 man. And it was a ||custom in Israel, 
 
 40 That the daughters of Israel went 
 tyearly ||to Upraise the daughter of Jeph- 
 thah the Gileadite four days in a year. 
 
 CHAPTER XII. 
 
 1 The Ephraimites, quarrelling with Jephthah, and 
 discerned by Shibboleth, are slain by the Gileadites. 
 7 Jephthah dieth. 8 Ibzan, who had thirty sons 
 and thirty daughters, 11 and Eton, 13 and Abdon, 
 who had forty sons and thirty ^grandsons, judged 
 Israel. 
 
 AND "the men of Ephraim tgathered 
 themselves together, and went north- 
 ward, and said to Jephthah, Wherefore 
 passedst thou over to fight against the 
 children of Ammon, and didst not call us 
 to go with thee ? we will burn thy house 
 upon thee with fire. 
 
 2 And Jephthah said to them, I and 
 my people were at great strife with the 
 children of Ammon; and when I call- 
 ed you, ye delivered me not out of their 
 hands. 
 
 3 And when I saw that ye delivered me 
 not, I 'put my life in my hands, and passed 
 over against the children of Ammon, and 
 Jehovah delivered them into my hand: 
 wherefore then are ye come up to me this 
 day, to fight against me ? 
 
 4 Then Jephthah gathered together all 
 the men of Gilead, and fought with Ephra- 
 im : and the men of Gilead smote Ephraim, 
 because they said, Ye Gileadites c are fugi- 
 tives of Ephraim among the Ephraimites, 
 and among the Manassites. 
 
 5 And the Gileadites took the ^passages 
 of Jordan before the Ephraimites : ana it 
 was so, that when those Ephraimites 2 who 
 had escaped, said, Let me go over; that 
 the men of Gilead said to mm, Art thou 
 an Ephraimite ? If he said, Nay; 
 
 6 Then said they to him, Say now ||Shib- 
 boleth: and he said Sibboleth: for he could 
 not 3 pronounce it properly. Then they took 
 him and slew him at the passages of Jor- 
 dan. And there fell at that time of the 
 Ephraimites forty and two thousand. 
 
 7 And Jephthah judged Israel six years : 
 then died Jephthah the Gileadite, and was 
 buried in one of the cities of Gilead. 
 
 8 If And after him || Ibzan of Beth-lehem 
 judged Israel. 
 
 9 And he had thirty sons and thirty daugh- 
 ters whom he sent abroad, and took in 
 thirty daughters from abroad for his sons 
 and he judged Israel seven years.

 CHAPTER XIII. 
 
 1 Israel is in the hand of the Philistines. 2 An an- 
 gel appeareth to Manoah's wife. 8 The angel ap- 
 peareth to Manoah. 15 Manoah's sacrifice, whereby 
 the angel is discovered. 24 Samson is born. 
 
 AND the children of Israel fdid evil 
 again in the sight of Jehovah; ||and % 
 Jehovah delivered them 'into the hand of 
 the Philistines forty years. 
 
 2 *|f And there was a certain man of c Zo- 
 rah, of the family of the Danites, whose 
 name was Manoah; and his wife was bar- 
 ren, and bore not. 
 
 3 And the d angel of Jehovah appeared to 
 the woman, and said to her, Behold, now, 
 thou art barren, and bearest not : but thou 
 shalt conceive, and bear a son. 
 
 4 Now therefore beware, I pray thee, and 
 'drink not wine, nor strong drink, and eat 
 not any unclean thing : 
 
 5 For lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a 
 son ; and no -^razor shall come on his head : 
 for the child shall be s a Nazarite to God 
 from Miis birth: and he shall *begin to de- 
 liver Israel out of the hand of the Philis- 
 tines. 
 
 6 If Then the woman came and told her 
 husband, saying, *A man of God came to 
 me, and his * 2 appearance was like the Ap- 
 pearance of an angel of God, very terrible : 
 but I 'asked him not whence he was, nei- 
 ther 4 did he tell me his name : 
 
 7 But he said to me, Behold, thou shalt 
 conceive, and bear a son ; and now drink 
 no wine nor strong drink, neither eat any 
 unclean thing: for the child shall be a 
 Nazarite to God from 5 his birth to the day 
 of his death. 
 
 8 If Then Manoah entreated Jehovah, 
 and said, O my "Lord, let the man of God 
 whom thou didst send come again to us, 
 and teach us what we shall do to the child 
 that shall be born. 
 
 9 And God hearkened to the voice of 
 Manoah; and the angel of God came again 
 to the woman as she sat in the field : but 
 Manoah her husband was not with her. 
 
 10 And the woman made haste, and ran, 
 and shewed her husband, and said to him, 
 Behold, the man hath appeared to me, that 
 came to me the other day. 
 
 11 And Manoah arose, and went after his 
 wife, and came to the man, and said to 
 him, Art thou the man 7 who didst speak to 
 the woman ? And he said, I am. 
 
 12 And Manoah said, Now let thy words 
 come to pass. t 8 What kind of a child will 
 he be, and. || twhat will he do ? 
 
 13 And the angel of Jehovah said to 
 Manoah, Of all that I said to the woman, 
 let her beware. 
 
 189 
 
T7ie birth of Samson. 
 
 14 She may not eat of any thing that 
 9 proceedeth from the vine, "neither let her 
 drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any 
 unclean thing: all that I commanded her 
 let her observe. 
 
 15 If And Manoah said to the angel of 
 Jehovah, I pray thee, "let us detain thee, 
 until we shall have made ready a kid tfor 
 thee. 
 
 16 And the angel of Jehovah said to Ma- 
 noah, Though thou detain me, I will not 
 eat of thy I0 lood : and if thou wilt offer a 
 burnt-offering thou must offer it to Jeho- 
 vah. For Manoah knew not that he was 
 an angel of Jehovah. 
 
 17 And Manoah said to the angel of Je- 
 hovah, What is thy name, that when thy 
 sayings come to pass, we may do thee 
 honour ? 
 
 18 And the angel of Jehovah said to him, 
 "Why askest thou thus after my name, see- 
 ing it is "wonderful ? 
 
 19 So Manoah took a kid, with a ^meal- 
 offering, ^and offered it upon a rock to Je- 
 hovah; and the angel did wondrously, and 
 Manoah and his wife looked on. 
 
 20 For it came to pass, ' that' when the 
 flame went up towards heaven from off the 
 altar, "then the angel of Jehovah ascended 
 in the flame of the altar, and Manoah and 
 his wife looked, M and 'fell on their faces 
 to the ground. 
 
 21 But the angel of Jehovah did no more 
 appear to Manoah and to his wife. 'Then 
 Manoah knew that he was an angel of Je- 
 hovah. 
 
 22 And Manoah said to his wife, 'We 
 shall surely die, because we have seen 
 God.

 him, Is there 2 not a woman among the

 my people, that thou goest to take a wife 
 of the 'uncircumcised Philistines ? And 
 Samson said to his father, Get her for me ;

 occasion against the Philistines : for at that 
 time ff the Philistines had dominion over 
 Israel. 
 
 5 If Then went Samson down, and his fa- 
 ther and his mother, to Timnath, and came 
 to the vineyards of Timnath : and behold, 
 a young lion roared tagainst him. 
 
 6 And *the Spirit of Jehovah came might- 
 ily upon him, and he rent him as he would 
 have rent a kid, and he had nothing in his 
 hand : but he told not his father or his mo- 
 ther what he had done. 
 
 7 And he went down, and talked with 
 the woman ; and she pleased Samson 3 . 
 
 8 ]f And after a time he returned to take 
 her, and he turned aside to see the carcass 
 of the lion : and behold, there was a swarm 
 of bees and honey in the carcass of the lion. 
 
 9 And he took 4 some of it in his hands, 
 and went on eating, and came to his father 
 and mother, and he gave them, and they 
 did eat : but he told not them that he had 
 taken the honey out of the carcass of the 
 lion. 
 
 10 If So his father went down to the wo- 
 man : and Samson made there a feast ; for 
 so used the young men to do. 
 
 11 And it came to pass, when they saw 
 him, that they brought thirty companions 
 to be with him. 
 
 12 Tf And Samson said to them, I will now 
 'put forth a riddle to you : if ye can cer- 
 tainly declare it me 'within the seven days 
 of the feast, and find it out, then I will 
 give you thirty 4 shirts and thirty 'changes 
 of garments : 
 
 13 But if ye cannot declare it me, then 
 shall ye give me thirty 6 shirts and thirty 
 changes of garments. And they said to 
 him, Put forth thy riddle, that we may 
 hear it. 
 
 14 And he said to them, Out of the eater 
 came forth 'food, and out of the strong 
 came forth sweetness. And they could 
 not in three days expound the riddle. 
 
 15 And it came to pass on the seventh 
 day, that they said to Samson's wife, "En- 
 tice thy husband, that he may declare to 
 us the riddle, "lest we burn thee and thy 
 father's house with fire : have ye called us 
 tto impoverish us ? is it not so? 
 
 16 And Samson's wife wept before him 
 and said, "Thou dost but hate me, and 
 lovest me not : thou hast put forth a riddle 
 to the children of my people, and hast not 
 told it ' to' me. And he said to her, Be- 
 hold, I have not told it to my father nor my 
 mother, and shall I tell it ' to' thee ? 
 
 17 And she wept before him ||the seven 
 days, while their feast lasted : and it came 
 to pass on the seventh day, that he told 
 her, because she 9 urged him : and she told 
 the riddle to the children of her people. 
 
 18 And the men of the city said to him 
 on the seventh day before the sun went 
 down, What is sweeter than honey ? and 
 what is stronger than a lion ? And he said 
 to them, If ye had not ploughed with my 
 heifer, ye had not found out my riddle. 
 
 19 If And 'the Spirit of Jehovah came 
 upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, 
 and slew thirty men of them, and took 
 their ||spoil, and gave 'the' changes of gar- 
 ments to them who expounded the riddle. 
 And his anger was kindled, and he went 
 up to his father's house. 
 
Samson burnetii the Philistines'' grain. CHAPTERS XV. XVI. 
 
 20 But Samson's wife 'was given to his 
 companion, whom he had used as r his 
 friend. 
 
 CHAPTER XV. 
 
 1 Samson is denied his wife. 3 He burnetii the Phi- 
 listines' cornwith jackals and fire-brands. 6 His 
 wife and her father are burnt by the Philistines. 
 7 Samson smiteth them hip and thigh. 9 He is 
 bound by the men of Judah, and delivered to the 
 Philistines. 14 He killeth them with a jaw-bone. 
 18 God maketh the fountain En-hakkore for him 
 in Lehi. 
 
 BUT it came to pass within a while after, 
 in the time of wheat-harvest, that Sam- 
 son visited his wife with a kid ; and he 
 said, I will go in to my wife into the cham- 
 ber. But her father would not suffer him 
 to go in. 
 
 2 And her father said, I 'truly thought 
 that thou hadst utterly "hated her ; there- 
 fore I gave her to thy companion: is not 
 her younger sister fairer than she ? ttake 
 her, I pray thee, instead of her. 
 
 3 If And Samson said concerning them, 
 ||Now shall I be more blameless than the 
 Philistines, though I do them a 2 mischief. 
 
 4 And Samson went and caught three 
 hundred 3 jackals, and took 4 torches, and 
 turned tail to tail, and put a 5 torch in the 
 midst between two tails. 
 
 5 And when he had set the torches on 
 fire, he let them go into the standing 7 grain 
 of the Philistines, and burnt up both the 
 shocks, and also the standing 8 grain, with 
 the 9 olive-yards. 
 
 6 «|f Then the Philistines said, Who hath 
 done this ? And they answered, Samson, 
 the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he 
 had taken his wife, and given her to his 
 companion. 'And the Philistines came up, 
 and burnt her and her father with fire. 
 
 7 If And Samson said to them, Though 
 ye have done this, yet will I be avenged of 
 you, and after that I will cease. 
 
 8 And he smote them 10 leg upon thigh with 
 a great slaughter. And he went down and 
 dwelt in the "cleft of the rock Etam. 
 
 9 If Then the Philistines went up, and 
 pitched in Judah, and spread themselves 
 ■in Lehi. 
 
 10 And the men of Judah said, Why are 
 ye come up against us ? And they answer- 
 ed, To bind Samson are we come up, to 
 do to him as he hath done to us. 
 
 11 Then three thousand men of Judah 
 "went down to the 13 cleft of the rock 
 Etam, and said to Samson, Knowest thou 
 not that the Philistines are d rulers over us ? 
 what is this that thou hast done to us ? And 
 he said to them, As they did to me, so 
 have I done to them. 
 
 12 And they said to him, We are come 
 down to bind thee, that we may deliver 
 thee into the hand of the Philistines. And 
 Samson said to them, Swear to me, that ye 
 will not w smite me yourselves. 
 
 13 And they spoke to him, saying, No ; 
 but we will bind thee fast, and deliver thee 
 into their hand : but surely we will not kill 
 thee. And they bound him with two new 
 cords, and brought him up from the rock. 
 
 14 If And when he came to Lehi, the 
 Philistines shouted against him : and e the 
 Spirit of Jehovah came 15 upon him, and 
 the cords that were upon his arms became 
 as flax that was burnt with fire, and his 
 hands f were' loosed from ,6 his hands.

 Delilah's falsehood to Samson. 
 
 15 And he found a tnew jaw-bone of an 
 ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, 
 and ^slew a thousand men therewith. 
 
 16 And Samson said, With the jaw-bone 
 of an ass, theaps upon heaps, with the jaw- 
 ' bone' of an ass have I slain a thousand 
 men. 
 
 17 And it came to pass when he had 
 made an end of speaking, that he cast 
 away the jaw-bone out of his hand, and 
 called that place ||Ramath-lehi. 
 
 18 ^f And he was "very thirsty, and call- 
 ed on Jehovah, and said, e Thou hast given 
 this great deliverance into the hand of thy 
 servant: and now shall I die for thirst, 
 and fall into the hand of theuncircumcised? 
 
 19 But God clave l8 the hollow place 
 that was in ||the jaw-' bone', and there 
 came water ,9 from it ; and "when he had 
 drank, ''his spirit came again, and he re- 
 vived. Wherefore he called the name 
 thereof [| 20 The fountain of Hakkore, which 
 is in Lehi to this day. 
 
 20 ||And he judged Israel ''in the days of 
 the Philistines twenty years. 
 
 CHAPTER XVI. 
 
 1 Samson at Gaza escapeth, and carrieth away the 
 gates of the city. 4 Delilah corrupted by the Phi- 
 listines, enticeth Samson. 6 Thrice she is deceived. 
 15 At last she overcometh him. 21 The Philistines 
 take him, and put out his eyes. 22 His strength 
 renewing, hepulleth down the house upon the Phi- 
 listines, and dieth. 
 r pHEN went Samson to Gaza, and saw 
 J- there ta harlot, and went in to her. 
 
 2 And it was told the Gazites, saying, 
 Samson is come hither. And they "com- 
 passed him in, and laid wait for him all 
 night in the gate of the city, and were 
 tquiet all the night, saying, In the morn- 
 ing when it is day we shall kill him. 
 
 3 And Samson lay till midnight, and 
 arose at midnight, and took the doors of 
 the gate of the city, and the two posts, and 
 went away with them, 'with' the bar, and 
 put them upon his shoulders, and carried 
 them up to the top of 2 the mountain that is 
 before Hebron. 
 
 4 If And it came to pass afterward, that 
 he loved a woman ||in the valley of Sorek, 
 whose name was Delilah. 
 
 5 And the lords of the Philistines came 
 up to her, and said to her, *Entice him, 
 and see wherein his great strength lieth, 
 and by what means we may prevail against 
 him, that we may bind him to ||afflict him : 
 and we will give thee 3 each one of us 
 eleven hundred ^shekels of silver. 
 
 6 If And Delilah said to Samson, Tell 
 me, I pray thee, wherein thy great strength 
 lieth, and 5 with what thou mightest be 
 bound to afflict thee. 
 
 7 And Samson said to her, If they bind 
 me with seven t 6 new cords, that were 
 never dried, then shall I be weak, and be 
 ^ike tanother man. 
 
 8 Then the lords of the Philistines brought 
 up to her seven 'new cords, which had not 
 been dried, and she bound him with them. 
 
 9 (Now there were men lying in wait, 
 abiding with her in the chamber.) And 
 she said to him, The Philistines 9 are upon 
 thee, Samson. And he broke the '"cords 
 as a thread of tow is broken when it ttouch-^ 
 eth the fire. So his strength was not known. 
 
 10 And Delilah said to Samson, Behold, 
 thou hast "deceived me, and told me lies; 
 
 191 
 
The Philistines put out Samson's eyes. JUDGES. 
 
 now tell me, I pray thee, ,2 with what thou 
 mightest be bound. 
 
 11 And he said to her, If they bind me 
 fast with new ropes tthat never were 13 used, 
 then shall I be weak, and be "like another 
 man. 
 
 12 Delilah therefore took new ropes, and 
 bound him 15 with them, and said to him, 
 The Philistines ,e are upon thee, Samson. 
 (And there were liers in wait abiding in 
 the chamber.) And he broke them from 17 
 Ms arms like a "string. 
 
 13 And Delilah said to Samson, Hitherto 
 thou hast mocked me, and told me lies : 
 tell me 19 with what thou mightest be bound. 
 And he said to her, If thou weavest the 
 seven 20 braids of my head with the 21 warp. 
 
 14 And she fastened it with the pin, and 
 said to him, The Philistines ^are upon 
 thee, Samson. And he 23 awoke out or his 
 sleep, and went away with the pin of the 
 24 shuttle, aqd with the ^warp. 
 
 15 If And she said to him, c How canst 
 thou say, I love thee, when thine heart is 
 not with me? Thou hast 26 deceived me 
 these three times, and hast not told me 
 wherein thy great strength lieth. 
 
 16 And it came to pass when she pressed 
 him daily with her words, and urged him, 
 so that 27 he was tvexed to death ; 
 
 17 That he d told her all his heart, and 
 said to her, 'There hath not come a razor 
 upon my head ; for I have been a Nazarite 
 to God from ^the time when my mother 
 bore me : if I be shaven, then my strength 
 will go from me, and I shall become weak, 
 and be like any other man. 
 
 18 And when Delilah saw that he had told 
 her all his heart, she sent and called for the 
 lords of the Philistines, saying, Come up 
 this once, for he hath shewed me all his 
 heart. Then the lords of the Philistines 
 came up to her, and brought money in 
 their hand. 
 
 19 'And she made him sleep upon her 
 knees; and she called for a man, and she 
 caused him to shave off the seven 29 braids 
 of his head ; and she began to afflict him, 
 and his strengtli went from him. 
 
 20 And she said, The Philistines w are upon 
 thee, Samson. And he awoke out of his 
 sleep,and said,I will go out as at other times 
 before, and shake myself. And he 31 knew 
 not that Jehovah ?32 nad departed from him. 
 
 21 ^ But the Philistines took him, and 
 tput out his eyes, and brought him down to 
 Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass; 
 and he did grind in the prison-house. 
 
 22 M Yet the hair of his head began to 
 grow again llafter he was shaven. 
 
 23 Then the lords of the Philistines ga- 
 thered themselves together, 34 to offer a 
 great sacrifice to Dagon their 35 god, and to 
 rejoice : for they said, Our god hath de- 
 livered Samson our enemy into our hand. 
 
 24 And when the people saw him, they 
 ''praised their god : for they said, Our god 
 hath delivered into our hands our enemy, 
 and the destroyer of our country ; twho 
 slew many of us. 
 
 25 And it came to pass, when their hearts 
 were 'merry, that they said, Call for Sam- 
 son that he may make us sport. And they 
 called for Samson out of the prison-house; 
 and he made tthem sport: and they set 
 him between the pillars.

 Samson's death. Micah'' s idolatry. 
 
 26 And Samson said to the lad that held 
 him by the hand, Suffer me that I may feel 
 the pillars M upon which the house standeth, 
 that I may lean upon them. 
 
 27 Now the house was full of men and 
 women : and all the lords of the Philistines 
 were there : and there were upon the *rool 
 about three thousand men and women, 
 who beheld while Samson made sport. 
 
 28 And Samson called to Jehovah, and 
 said, O Lord Jehovah, 'remember me, I 
 pray thee, and strengthen me, 1 pray thee, 
 only this once, O God, that I may be at 
 once avenged 37 on the Philistines for my 
 two eyes. 
 
 29 And Samson took hold of the two 
 middle pillars upon which the house stood, 
 and ||on which it was borne up, of the one 
 with his right hand, and of the other with 
 his left. 
 
 30 And Samson said, Let tme die with 
 the Philistines. And he bowed himself 
 with all his might ; and the house fell upon 
 the lords, and upon all the people that 
 were therein. So the dead whom he slew 
 at his death were more than ss those whom 
 he slew in his life-' time.' 
 
 31 Then his brethren and all the house 
 of his father came down, and took him, 
 and brought him up, and ""buried him be- 
 tween Zorah and Eshtaol in the burying - 
 place of Manoah his father. And he judged 
 Israel twenty years. 
 
 CHAPTER XVII. 
 
 1 Of the money that Micah first stole, then restored, 
 his mother maketh images, 5 and he ornaments for 
 them. 7 He hireth a Levite to be his priest. 
 
 'TVTOW there was a man of mount Ephra- 
 -L ' im, whose name was Micah. 
 
 2 And he said to his mother, The eleven 
 hundred shekels of silver that were taken 
 from thee, about which thou cursedst, and 
 2 didst speak also in 3 my hearing, behold, 
 the silver is with me ; I took it. And his 
 mother said, "Blessed be thou of Jehovah, 
 my son. 
 
 3 And when he had restored the eleven 
 hundred shekels of silver to his mother, his 
 mother said, I had wholly dedicated the 
 silver to Jehovah from my hand for my 
 son, to 'make a graven image and a molten 
 image : now therefore I will restore it to 
 thee. 
 
 4 Yet he restored the money to his mo- 
 ther; and his mother c took two hundred 
 shekels of silver, and gave them to the 
 founder, who made thereof a graven image 
 and a molten image: and they were in the 
 house of Micah. 
 
 5 And the man Micah had a house of 
 gods, and made an d ephod, and 'teraphim, 
 and tconsecrated one of his sons, who be- 
 came his priest. 
 
 6 'In those days there was no king in Is- 
 rael, s but every man did that which was. 
 right in his own "sight. 
 
 7 If And there was a young man out of 
 *Beth-lehem-judah of the family of Judah, 
 who was a Levite, and he sojourned there. 
 
 8 And the man departed out of the city 
 from Beth-lehem-judah, to sojourn where 
 he could find a place : and he came to 
 mount Ephraim to the house of Micah, tas 
 he journeyed. 
 
 9 And Micah said to him, Whence comest 
 thou ? And he said to him, I am a. Levit- 
 
The Danites seek an inheritance. 
 
 CHAPTER XVIII. 
 
 of Beth-lehem-judah, and I go to sojourn 
 where I may find a place. 
 
 10 And Micah said to him, Dwell with 
 me, 'and be to me a *father and a priest, 
 and I will give thee ten shekels of silver 
 by the year, and ||ta suit of apparel, and 
 thy "sustenance. So the Levite went in. 
 
 11 And the Levite was content to dwell 
 with the man ; and the young man was to 
 him as one of his sons. 
 
 12 And Micah 'consecrated the Levite ; 
 and the young man m became his priest, 
 and was in the house of Micah. 
 
 13 Then said Micah, Now know I that 
 Jehovah will do me good, 6 because I have 
 a Levite 'for my priest. 
 
 CHAPTER XVIII. 
 
 1 The Danites send five men to seek out an inherit- 
 ance. 3 At the house of Micah they consult with 
 Jonathan, and are encouraged in their way. 7 
 They search Laish, and bring back news of good 
 hope. 1 1 Six hundred men are sent to surprise it. 
 14 In the way they rob Micah of his priest and his 
 consecrated things. 27 They win Laish, and call 
 it Dan. 30 They set up idolatry, wherein Jona- 
 than in/ierited the priesthood. 
 
 IN 'those days there was no king in Is- 
 rael : and in those days 'the tribe of the 
 Danites sought themselves an inheritance 
 to dwell in ; for to that day all their in- 
 heritance had not fallen to them among the 
 tribes of Israel. 
 
 2 And the children of Dan sent of their 
 family five men from their 'territories, 
 tmen of valour, from 'Zorah, and from 
 Eshtaol, 'to spy out the land, and to search 
 it ; and they said to them, Go, search the 
 land: who when they came to mount 
 Ephraim, to the 'house of Micah, they 
 lodged there. 
 
 3 * They were by the house of Micah, 
 ' and' they knew the voice of the young 
 man the Levite : and they turned in thither, 
 and said to him, Who brought thee hither ? 
 and what *dost thou in this place? and 
 what hast thou here? 
 
 4 And he said to them, Thus and 4 so 
 dealeth Micah with me, and hath 'hired 
 me, and I am his priest. 
 
 5 And they said to him, ff Ask, 5 we pray 
 thee, *of God, that we may know whether 
 our way which we go shall be prosperous. 
 
 6 And the priest said to them, 'Go in 
 peace : 6 your way in which ye go, is ac- 
 ceptable to Jehovah. 
 
 7 U Then the five men departed, and 
 came to "'Laish, and saw the people that 
 were therein, 'how they dwelt carelessly, 
 after the 'custom of the Zidonians, quiet and 
 secure; and there was no tmagistrate in 
 the land, that might put them to shame in 
 any thing ; 8 for they were far from the Zi- 
 donians, and had no business with any man. 
 
 8 And they came to their brethren to 
 '"Zorah and Eshtaol : and their brethren 
 said to them, What say ye ? 
 
 9 And they said, "Arise, that we may go 
 up against them : for we have seen the 
 land, and behold, it is very good: and are 
 ye "still ? be not slothful to go, and 9 enter 
 to possess the land. 
 
 10 When ye go, ye shall come to a peo- 
 ple 'secure, and to a large land : for God 
 hath given it into your hands; *a place 
 where there is no want of any thing that 
 is 10 on the earth.

 family of the Danites, out of Zorah and 
 out of Eshtaol, six .hundred men "girded 
 with weapons of war. 
 
 12 And they went up, and pitched in 
 r Kiijath-jearim, in Judah : wherefore they 
 called that place ,12 The camp of Dan to this 
 day: behold, it is behind Kirjath-jearini. 
 
 13 And they passed 'from' thence to 
 mount Ephraim, and came to 'the house 
 of Micah. 
 
 14 ^f "Then 13 spoke the five men that went 
 to spy out the country of Laish, and said 
 to their brethren, Do ye know that z there 
 is in these houses an ephod, and teraphim, 
 and a graven image, and a molten image ? 
 now therefore consider what ye 14 will do. 
 
 15 And they turned thitherward, and 
 came to the house of the young man the 
 Levite, even to the house of Micah, and 
 1 15 asked him concerning his welfare. 
 
 16 And the y six hundred men 16 girded 
 with their weapons of war, who were of 
 the children of Dan, stood by the "entrance 
 of the gate. 
 
 17 And r the five men that went to spy 
 out the land went up, and came in thither, 
 and took °the graven image, and the ephod, 
 and the teraphim, and the molten image : 
 and the priest stood in the 18 entrance of 
 the gate with the six hundred men that 
 were 19 girded with weapons of war. 
 
 18 And these went into Micah's house, 
 and 20 took the carved image, the ephod, and 
 the teraphim, and the molten image. Then 
 said the priest to them. What do ye ? 
 
 19 And they said to him, Hold thy peace, 
 'lay thy hand upon thy mouth, and go with 
 us, c and be to us a father and a priest : Is 
 it better for thee to be a priest to the house 
 of one man, or that thou be a priest to a 
 tribe and a family in Israel ? 
 
 20 And the priest's heart was glad, and 
 he took the ephod, and the terapnim, and 
 the graven image, and went in the midst 
 of the people. 
 
 21 So they turned and departed, and put 
 the little ones, and the cattle, and *Hheir 
 wealth before them. 
 
 22 If And when they were a good way 
 from the house of Micah, the men that 
 were in the houses near to Micah's house 
 were gathered together, and overtook the 
 children of Dan. 
 
 23 And they cried to the children of Dan. 
 And they turned their, faces, and said to 
 Micah, What aileth thee, tthat thou comest 
 with such a company ? 
 
 24 And he said, Ye have taken away my 
 gods which I made, and the priest, and ye 
 are gone -away : and what have I more ? 
 and what is this that ye say to me, What 
 aileth thee? 
 
 25 And the children of Dan said to him, 
 Let not thy voice be heard among us, lest 
 tangry fellows Z2 smite thee, and thou lose 
 thy life, with the lives of thy household. 
 
 26 And the children of Dan went then- 
 way : and when Micah saw that they were 
 too strong for him, he turned and went 
 back to his house. 
 
 27 And they took the things which Micah 
 had made, and the priest whom he had, 
 and 'came to Laish, to a people 23 quiet 
 and secure : e and they smote them with 
 the edge of the sword, and burnt the city 
 with fire.

Jl Levitt cometh to lodge in Gibeah. 
 
 28 And there was no deliverer, because 
 it was ^far from Zidon, and they had no 
 business with any man ; and it was in the 
 valley that lieth *by Beth-rehob. And they 
 built a city, and dwelt therein. 
 
 29 And ''they called the name of the city 
 'Dan, after the name of Dan their father, 
 who was born to Israel: M but the name of 
 the city was Laish at the first. 
 
 30 1f And the children of Dan set up the 
 graven image : and Jonathan, the son of 
 Gershom, the son of Manasseh, he and his 
 sons were priests to the tribe of Dan *until 
 the day of the captivity of the land. 
 
 31 And they ^set up for themselves Mi- 
 cah's graven image which he made, 'all the 
 time that the house of God was in Shiloh. 
 
 CHAPTER XIX. 
 
 1 A Levite goeth to Beth-lehem to fetch home his 
 wife. 1 6 An old man entertaineth him at Gibeah. 
 22 The Gibeonites abuse his concubine to death. 
 29 He divideth her into twelve pieces, to send them 
 to the twelve tribes. 
 
 AND it came to pass in those days, 
 "when there was no king in Israel, that 
 there was a certain Levite sojourning on 
 the side of mount Ephraim, who took to 
 him ta concubine 'from 'Beth-lehem-judah. 
 
 2 And his concubine played the 2 harlot 
 against him, and went away from him to 
 her father's house to Beth-lehem-judah, 
 and was there || tfour whole months. 
 
 3 And her husband arose, and went after 
 her, to speak t 3 kindly to her, and to bring 
 her again, having his servant with him, 
 and a couple of asses : and she brought 
 him into her father's house : and when the 
 father of the damsel saw him, he rejoiced 
 to .meet him. 
 
 4 And his father-in-law, the damsel's 
 father, retained him; and he abode with 
 him three days : so they did eat and drink, 
 and lodged there. 
 
 5 U And it came to pass on the fourth 
 day, when they arose early in the morn- 
 ing, that he rose up to depart: and the 
 damsel's father said to his son-in-law, 
 '"Strengthen thy heart with a morsel of 
 5 food, and afterward go your way. 
 
 6 And they sat down, and did eat and 
 drink both of them together : for the dam- 
 sel's father had said to the man, Be con- 
 tent, I pray thee, and tarry all night, and 
 let thy heart be merry. 
 
 7 And when the man rose up to depart, 
 his father-in-law urged him : therefore he 
 lodged there again. 
 
 8 And he arose early in the morning on 
 the fifth day to depart : and the damsel's 
 father said, Strengthen thy heart, I pray 
 thee. And they tarried tuntil afternoon, 
 and they did eat both of them. 
 
 9 And when the man rose up to depart, 
 he, and his concubine, and his servant, his 
 father-in-law, the damsel's father, said to 
 him, Behold, now the day tdraweth to- 
 wards evening, I pray you tarry all night : 
 behold, tthe day 7 declineth, lodge here, 
 that thy heart may be merry; and to-mor- 
 row 8 go ye early on your way, that thou 
 mayest go thome. 
 
 10 But the man would not tarry that 
 night, 6 so he rose up and departed, and 
 came tover against d Jebus, which is Jeru- 
 salem : and there were with him two asses 
 saddled, his concubine also was with him.

 11 And when they were by Jebus, the 
 day was far spent ; and the servant said to 
 his master, Come, I pray thee, and let us 
 turn in to this city £ of the Jebusites, and 
 lodge in it. 
 
 12 And his master said to him, We will 
 not turn aside hither into the city of a 
 stranger, who is not of the children of Is- 
 rael ; we will pass over 'to Gibeah. 
 
 13 And he said to his servant, Come, and 
 let us draw near to one of these places to 
 lodge all night, in Gibeah, or in g Ramah. 
 
 14 And they passed on and went their 
 way ; and the sun went down upon them 
 when they were by Gibeah, which belong- 
 eth to Benjamin. 
 
 15 And they turned aside thither, to go 
 in and to lodge in Gibeah : and when he 
 went in, he sat 10 down in a street of the 
 city : for there was no man that Hook them 
 into his house to "lodge. 
 
 16 If And behold, there came an old man 
 from 'his work out of the field at 12 even- 
 ing, 13 the man was also of mount Ephraim; 
 and he sojourned in Gibeah ; but the men 
 of the place were Benjamites. 
 
 17 And when he had lifted up his eyes, 
 he saw a wayfaring man in the street of 
 the city : and the old man said, Whither 
 goest thou ? and whence comest thou ? 
 
 18 And he said to him, We are passing 
 from Beth-lehem-judah towards the side 
 of mount Ephraim ; from thence am I : 
 and I went to Beth-lehem-judah, but I am 
 now going to 'the house of Jehovah ; and 
 there is no man that treceiveth me u in his 
 house. 
 
 19 Yet there is both straw and provender 
 for our asses ; and there is 15 food and wine 
 also for me, and for thy handmaid, and for 
 the young man who is with thy servants : 
 there is no want of any thing. 
 
 20 And the old man said, 'Peace be with 
 thee ; however, let all thy wants lie upon 
 me ; m only lodge not in the street. 
 
 21 "So he brought him into his house, and 
 gave provender to the asses : "and they 
 washed their feet, and did eat and drink. 
 
 22 If Now as they were making their 
 hearts merry, behold, p the men of the city, 
 certain 'sons of 16 wickedness, beset the 
 house round about, and beat at the door, 
 and spoke to the master of the house, the 
 old man, saying, 'Bring forth the man that 
 came into thy nouse, that we may know 
 him. 
 
 23 And 'the man, the master of the house, 
 went out to them, and said to them, Nay, 
 my brethren, nay, I pray you, do not " 
 wickedly ; seeing that this man 18 hath come 
 into my house, 'do not this 19 folly. 
 
 24 "Behold, here is my daughter, a maiden, 
 and his concubine ; them I will bring out 
 now, and tumble ye them, and do with 
 them what seemeth good to you : but to 
 this man do not tso vile a thing. 
 
 25 But the men would not hearken to 
 him: so the man took his concubine, and 
 brought her forth to them ; and they "knew 
 her, and abused her all the night until the 
 morning: and when the day began to 20 rise, 
 they let her go. 
 
 26 Then came the woman in the dawn- 
 ing of the day, and fell down at the door 
 of the man's house where her lord was, 
 till it was light. 
 
The Levite declareth his wrong. 
 
 27 And her lord rose up in the morning, 
 and opened the doors of the house, and 
 went out to go his way : and behold, the 
 woman his concubine was fallen down at 
 the door of the house, and her hands were 
 upon the threshold. 
 
 28 And he said to her, 21 Rise, and let us 
 be going. But l none answered. Then the 
 man took her up upon an ass, and the man 
 rose up, and ^went to his place. 
 
 29 1f And when he was come into his 
 house, he took a knife, and laid hold on his 
 concubine, and "divided her, ** with her 
 bones, into twelve pieces, and sent her 
 into all the 24 regions of Israel. 
 
 30 And it 25 came to pass, that all who 
 saw it, said, There was no such deed done 
 nor seen from the day that the children of 
 Israel came up out of the land of Egypt 
 to this day : consider of it, *take advice, 
 and speak 26 . 
 
 CHAPTER XX. 
 
 1 The Levite in a general assembly declareth his 
 ivrong. 8 The decree of the assembly. 12 The 
 Benjamites, being cited, make head against the Is- 
 raelites. 18 The Israelites in two battles lose forty 
 thousand. 26 They destroy by a stratagem all the 
 Benjamites, except six hundred. 
 
 THEN "all the children of Israel went 
 out, and the congregation was gather- 
 ed together as one man, from 6 Dan even to 
 Beersheba, with the land of Gilead, to Je 
 hovah "in Mizpeh. 
 
 2 And the chiefs of all the people, even 
 of all the tribes of Israel, presented them 
 selves in the assembly of the people of 
 God, four hundred thousand footmen ''that 
 drew sword. 
 
 3 (Now the children of Benjamin heard 
 ttiat the children of Israel were gone up 
 to Mizpeh.) Then said the children or 
 Israel, Tell us, how was this wickedness ? 
 
 4 And tthe Levite, the husband of the 
 woman that was slain, answered and said, 
 e I came into Gibeah that belongeth to Ben- 
 jamin, I and my concubine, to lodge. 
 
 5 {And the citizens of Gibeah rose 
 against me, and beset the house round 
 about upon me by night, and thought to 
 have slain me: g and my concubine have 
 they 2 humbled, 'so' that she is dead. 
 
 6 And *I took my concubine, and cut her 
 in pieces, and sent her throughout all the 
 country of the inheritance of Israel : for 
 they 'have committed 3 a crime and folly in 
 Israel. 
 
 7 Behold, ye are all children of Israel ; 
 *give here your advice and counsel. 
 
 8 If And all the people arose as one man, 
 saying, We will not any of us go to his 
 tent, neither will we any of us turn into 
 his house : 
 
 9 But now this shall be the thing which 
 we will do to Gibeah : we will go up by 
 lot against it ; 
 
 10 And we will take ten men of a hun 
 dred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and 
 a hundred of a thousand, and a thousand 
 out of ten thousand, to bring victuals for 
 the people, that they may do, when they 
 come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to 
 all the folly that they have wrought in 
 Israel . 
 
 11 So all the men of Israel were gather 
 ed against tlu city, t 4 united together as 
 one man. 
 
 CHAPTER XX. The Benjamites refuse to make redress. 
 
 12 1[ 'And the tribes of Israel sent men 
 through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, 
 What wickedness is this that is done 
 among you ? 
 
 13 Now therefore deliver us the men, 
 m the children of 'wickedness, who are in 
 Gibeah, that we may put them to death, 
 and "put away evil from Israel. But the 
 children of Benjamin would not hearken 
 to the voice of their brethren the children 
 of Israel : 
 
 14 But the children of Benjamin gather- 
 ed themselves together out of the cities to 
 Gibeah, to go out to battle against the 
 children of Israel. 
 
 15 And the children of Benjamin were 
 numbered at that time out of the cities 
 twenty and six thousand men that drew 
 sword, besides the inhabitants of Gibeah, 
 who were numbered seven hundred chosen 
 men. 
 
 16 Among all this people there were 
 seven hundred chosen men "left-handed ; 
 6 each one could sling stones at a hair, 7 
 and not miss. 
 
 17 And the men of Israel, besides Ben- 
 jamin, were numbered four hundred thou- 
 sand men that drew sword : all these were 
 men of war. 
 
 18 ^[ And the children of Israel arose, 
 and p went up to the house of God, and 
 'asked 8 of God, and said, Who of us shall 
 go up first to the battle against the child- 
 ren of Benjamin? And Jehovah said, 
 Judah shall go up first. 
 
 19 And the children of Israel rose up 
 in the morning, and encamped against 
 Gibeah. 
 
 20 And the men of Israel went out to 
 battle against Benjamin ; and the men of 
 Israel put themselves in array to fight 
 against them at Gibeah. 
 
 21 And the children of Benjamin came 
 forth out of Gibeah, and destroyed down 
 to the ground of the Israelites that day 
 twenty and two thousand men. 
 
 22 And the people, the men of Israel, 
 encouraged themselves, and set their battle 
 again in array in the place where they put 
 themselves in array the first day. 
 
 23 ('And the children of Israel went up 
 and wept before Jehovah until "evening, 
 and asked 10 of Jehovah, saying, Shall I 
 go up again to battle against the children 
 of Benjamin my brother? And Jehovah 
 said, Go up against him.) 
 
 24 And the children of Israel came near 
 against the children of Benjamin the se- 
 cond day. 
 
 25 And 'Benjamin went forth against 
 them out of Gibeah the second day, and 
 destroyed down to the ground of the child- 
 ren of Israel again eighteen thousand men ; 
 all these drew the sword. 
 
 26 If Then all the children of Israel, and 
 all the people, "went up, and came to the 
 house of God, and wept, and sat there be- 
 fore Jehovah, and fasted that day until 
 "evening, and offered burnt-offerings and 
 I3 thank-offerings before Jehovah. 
 
 27 And the children of Israel inquired 
 of Jehovah, (for *the ark of the covenant 
 of God was there in those days, 
 
 28 "And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, 
 the son of Aaron, 'stood before it in those 
 days,} saying, Shall I yet again go out to

 battle against the children of Benjamin 
 my brother, or shall I cease ? And Jeho- 
 vah said, Go up ; for to-morrow I will de- 
 liver them into thy hand. 
 
 29 And Israel "set Hers in wait round 
 about Gibeah. 
 
 SO And the children of Israel went up 
 against the children of Benjamin on the 
 third day, and put themselves in array 
 against Gibeah, as at other times. 
 
 31 And the children of Benjamin went 
 out against the people, and were drawn 
 away from the city; and they began tto 
 smite of the people, and kill, as at other 
 times, in the highways, of which one go 
 eth up to ||the house of God, and the other 
 to Gibeah in the field, about thirty men of 
 Israel. 
 
 32 And the children of Benjamin said, 
 They are smitten down before us, as at the 
 first. But the children of Israel said, Let 
 us flee, and draw them from the city to the 
 highways. 
 
 33 And all the men of Israel rose up out 
 of their place, and put themselves in array 
 at Baal-tamar : and the Hers in wait of Is- 
 rael 13 rushed forth out of their places, even 
 out of the M open spaces around Gibeah. 
 
 34 And there came against Gibeah ten 
 thousand chosen men out of all Israel, 
 and the battle was 16 fierce: 'but they knew 
 not that evil was 16 approaching them. 
 
 35 And Jehovah smote Benjamin before 
 Israel: and the children of Israel destroy- 
 ed of the Benjamites that day twenty and 
 five thousand and a hundred men : all 
 these drew the sword. 
 
 36 So the children of Benjamin saw that 
 they were smitten: 'for the men of Israel 
 gave place to the Benjamites, because they 
 trusted to the Hers in wait whom they had 
 set beside Gibeah. 
 
 37 ''And the Hers in wait hasted, and 
 rushed upon Gibeah; and the Hers in wait 
 lldrew themselves along, and smote all the 
 city with the edge of the sword. 
 
 S8 Now there was an appointed ||sign be- 
 tween the men of Israel Tand the Hers in 
 wait, that they should make a great tflame 
 with smoke rise up out of the city. 
 
 39 And when the men of Israel "turned 
 in the battle, Benjamin began tto smite and 
 kill of the men of Israel about thirty per- 
 sons : for they said, Surely they are smit- 
 ten down before us, as in the first battle. 
 
 40 But when the flame began to arise up 
 out of the city with a pillar of smoke, the 
 Benjamites 'looked behind them, and be- 
 hold, tthe flame of the city ascended up to 
 heaven. 
 
 41 And when the men of Israel turned 
 again, the men of Benjamin were amazed : 
 for they saw that evil t ,8 had come upon 
 them. 
 
 42 Therefore they turned their backs be- 
 fore the men of Israel to the way of the 
 19 waste region; but the battle overtook 
 them; and ^those who came out of the 
 cities, they destroyed in the midst of them. 
 
 43 Thus they enclosed the Benjamites 
 round about, and chased them, and trode 
 them down ||with ease tover against Gibeah 
 towards the sun-rising. 
 
 44 And there fell of Benjamin eighteen 
 thousand men ; all these were men of va- 
 lour.

 48 And the men of Israel turned again

 them with the edge of the sword, as well 
 the men of every city, as the beast, and 
 all that tcame to hand : also they set on 
 fire all the cities ^to which they tcame. 
 
 CHAPTER XXI. 
 
 1 The people bewail the desolation of Benjamin. 8 
 By the destruction of Jabesh-gilead they provide 
 them four hundred wives. 16 They advise them to 
 surprise the virgins that danced at Shiloh. 
 
 NOW "the men of Israel had sworn in 
 Mizpeh, saying, There shall not any 
 of us give his daughter to Benjamin s for a 
 wife. 
 
 2 And the people came s to the lx>use of 
 God, and abode there till *evening before 
 God, and lifted up their voices, and wept 
 s greatly ; 
 
 3 And said, O Jehovah God of Israel, 
 why is this come to pass in Israel, that 
 there should be to-day one tribe lacking in 
 Israel ? 
 
 4 And it came to pass on the morrow, 
 that the people rose early, and 'built there 
 an altar, and offered burnt-offerings, and 
 Hhank-offerings. 
 
 5 And the children of Israel said, Who 
 is there among all the tribes of Israel that 
 came not up with the congregation to Je- 
 hovah ? "Tor they had made a great oath 
 concerning him that came not up to Jeho- 
 vah to Mizpeh, saying, He shall surely be 
 put to death. 
 
 6 And the children of Israel repented 
 themselves for Benjamin their brother, 
 and said. There is one tribe cut off from 
 Israel this day. 
 
 7 How shall we do for wives for them 
 that remain, seeing we have sworn by Je- 
 hovah, that we will not give them or our 
 daughters 5 for wives ? 
 
 8 If And they said, What one is there of 
 the tribes of Israel that came not up to 
 Mizpeh to Jehovah ? And behold, there 
 came none to the camp from 'Jabesh-gilead 
 to the assembly. 
 
 9 For the people were numbered, and be- 
 hold there were none of the inhabitants of 
 Jabesh-gilead there. 
 
 10 And the congregation sent thither 
 twelve thousand men of 6 valour, and com- 
 manded them, saying, ^Go and smite the in- 
 habitants of Jabesh-gilead with the edge of 
 the sword,with the women and the children. 
 
 11 And this is the thing that ye shall do, 
 g Ye shall utterly destroy every male, and 
 every woman that thath lain by man. 
 
 12 And they found among the inhabitants 
 of Jabesh-gilead four hundred tyoung vir- 
 gins that had known no man by lying with 
 any male : and they brought them to the 
 
The Benjamites are advised to 
 
 camp to "Shiloh, which is in the land of 
 Canaan. 
 
 13 And the whole congregation sent some 
 tto speak to the children of Benjamin 'that 
 were in the rock Rimmon, and to 7 proclaim 
 peace to them. 
 
 14 And Benjamin came again at that 
 time; and they gave them wives whom 
 they had saved alive of the women of'Ja- 
 besh-gilead : and yet so they sufficed them 
 not. 
 
 15 And the people 'repented themselves 
 for Benjamin, because that Jehovah had 
 made a breach in the tribes of Israel. 
 
 16 If Then the elders of the congregation 
 said, How shall we do for wives Tor them 
 that remain, seeing the women are de- 
 stroyed out of Benjamin ? 
 
 17 And they said, There must be an in- 
 heritance for them that 8 are escaped of 
 Benjamin, that a tribe be not destroyed 
 out of Israel. 
 
 18 9 But, we may not give them wives of 
 our daughters : 'for the children of Israel 
 have sworn, saying, Cursed be he that 
 giveth a wife to Benjamin. 
 
 19 Then they said, Behold, there is a 
 feast of Jehovah in Shiloh tyearly in a 
 place which is on the north side of Beth- 
 el, ||on the east side ||of the highway that

 21 And see, and behold, if the daughters 
 of Shiloh come out m to dance in dances,

 them for our sakes : because we reserved 
 not to each man his wife in the war : for 
 ye did not give to them at this time, that 
 ye should be guilty. 
 
 23 And the children of Benjamin did so, 
 and took themselves wives, according to 
 their number, of them that danced, whom 
 they caught : and they went and returned 
 to their inheritance, and n "built the cities, 
 and dwelt in them. 
 
 24 And the children of Israel departed 
 thence at that time, ,2 each man to his tribe 
 and to his family, and they went out from 
 thence is each man to his inheritance. 
 
 25 "In those days there was no king in 
 Israel: p every man did that which was

 IT THE BOOK OF RUTH. 
 
 CHAPTER I. 
 
 1 Elimelech driven by famine into Moab, dieth there. 
 4 Mahlon and Chilion, having married wives of 
 Moab, die also. 6 Naomi returning homeward, 8 
 dissuadeth her two daughters-in-law from going 
 with her. 14 Orpah leaveth her, but Ruth with 
 great constancy accompanieth her. 19 They two 
 come to Beth-lehem, where they are gladly received. 
 
 NOW it came to pass in the days when "the 
 judges truled, that there was l a famine 
 in the land. And a certain man of 'Beth- 
 lehem -judah went to sojourn in the country 
 of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons. 
 
 2 And the name of the man was Elime- 
 lech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and 
 the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chi- 
 lion, li Ephrathites of Beth-lehem-judah. 
 And they came 'into the country of Moab, 
 and tcontinued there. 
 
 3 And Elimelech Naomi's husband died ; 
 and she was left, and her two sons. 
 
 4 And they took themselves wives of the 
 women of Moab ; the name of the one was 
 Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth : 
 and they dwelled there about ten years. 
 
 5 And Mahlon and Chilion died also both 
 of them ; and the woman was left of her 
 two sons and her husband. 
 
 6 If Then she arose with her daughters- 
 in-law, that she might return from the 
 country of Moab : for she had heard in the 
 country of Moab how that Jehovah had 
 •^visited his people 'by ^giving them bread. 
 
 7 Wherefore she went forth out of the 
 place where she was, and her two daugh- 
 ters-in-law with her ; and they went on 
 the way to return to the land of Judah. 
 
 8 And Naomi said to her two daughters- 
 in-law, "Go, return each to her mother's 
 house: 'Jehovah deal kindly with you, as 
 ye have dealt with Hhe dead, and with me.

 10 And they said to her, Surely we will 
 return with thee to thy people. 
 
 11 And Naomi said, Turn again, my 
 daughters: why will ye go with me? are 
 there yet any more sons %ithin me, m that 
 they may be your husbands ? 
 
 12 Turn again, my daughters, go ; 3 for I 
 am too old to have a husband. IF I should 
 say, I have hope, ||^ I should have a hus- 
 band also to-night, and should also bear 
 sons; 
 
 13 Would ye ttarry for them till they 
 were grown ? would ye stay for them 4 and 
 not have husbands ? nay, my daughters ; 
 for tit grieveth me much for your sakes, 
 that "the hand of Jehovah is gone out 
 against me. 
 
 14 And they lifted up their voice, and 
 wept again. And Orpah kissed her mo- 
 ther -in-law ; but Ruth p clave to her. 
 
 15 And she said, Behold, thy sister-in- 
 law is gone back to her people, and to 'her 
 gods: "return thou after thy sister-in-law. 
 
 16 And Ruth said, || 'Entreat me not to 
 leave thee, or to return from following 
 after thee : for whither thou goest, I will 
 go ; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge : 
 'thy people shall be my people, and thy 
 God my God : 
 
 17 Where thou diest, will I die, and there 
 will I be buried : "Jehovah do so to me, 
 and more also, Hf any thing but death part 
 thee and me. 
 
 18 x When she saw that she twas "firmly 
 resolved to go with her, then she T ceased 
 speaking to her. 
 
 19 If So the two went until they came to 
 Beth-lehem. And it came to pass, when 
 
 197 
 
Ruth cometh with Naomi to Beth-lehem, 
 
 they were come to Beth-lehem, that "all 
 the city was moved about them, and they 
 Baid, 'Is this Naomi ? 
 
 20 And she said to them, Call me not 
 
 t Naomi, call me [|Mara : for the Almighty 
 lath dealt very bitterly with me. 
 
 21 I went out full, "and Jehovah hath 
 brought me home again empty: why then 
 call ye me Naomi, seeing Jehovah hath 
 8 afflicted me, and the Almighty hath 'trou- 
 bled me ? 
 
 22 So Naomi returned, and Ruth the 
 Moabitess her daughter-in-law with her, 
 who returned 10 from the country of Moab: 
 and they came to Beth-lehem 'in the be- 
 ginning of barley -harvest. 
 
 CHAPTER II. 
 
 1 Ruth gleaneth in the fields of Boaz. 4 Boaz tak- 
 ing knowledge of her, 8 sheweth her great favour. 
 IS That which she got, she carrieth to Naomi. 
 
 AND Naomi had a "kinsman of her hus- 
 band's, a mighty man of wealth, of 
 the family of Elimelech; and his name 
 was *||Boaz. 
 
 2 And Ruth the Moabitess said to Nao- 
 mi, Let me now go to the field, and c glean 
 ears of 'grain after Mm in whose sight I 
 shall find 2 favour. And she said to her, 
 Go, my daughter. 
 
 3 And she went, and came, and gleaned 
 in the field after the reapers, and her 
 t 3 chance was to light on a part of the field 
 belonging to Boaz, who was of the 4 family 
 of Elimelech. 
 
 4 If And behold, Boaz came from Beth- 
 lehem, and said to the reapers, ^Jehovah 
 be with you. And they answered him, 
 Jehovah bless thee. 
 
 5 Then said Boaz to his servant that was 
 set over the reapers, Whose damsel is this ? 
 
 6 And the servant that was set over the 
 reapers answered and said, It is the Moab : 
 itish damsel "that came back with Naomi 
 out of the country of Moab : 
 
 7 And she said, I pray you, let me glean 
 and gather after the reapers among the 
 sheaves: so she came, and hath continued 
 even from the morning until now, ' except' 
 that she tarried a little ' while' in the house. 
 
 8 Then said Boaz to Ruth, Hearesjt thou 
 not, my daughter ? Go not to glean in an- 
 other field, neither go from hence, but abide 
 here 5 by my maidens : 
 
 9 Let thine eyes be on the field that they 
 do reap, and go thou after them : have I 
 not charged the young men that they shall 
 not touch thee ? and when thou art 6 thirsty, 
 go to the vessels, and drink of that which 
 the young men have drawn. 
 
 10 And she fell on her face, and bowed 
 herself to the ground, and said to him, 
 Why have I found 'favour in 8 thy sight, 
 that thou shouldest 9 regard me, seeing I am 
 a stranger ? 
 
 11 And Boaz answered and said to her, 
 It hath 10 surely been shewed me, «all that 
 thou hast done to thy mother-in-law since 
 the death of thy husband : and how thou 
 hast left thy father and thy mother, and 
 the land of thy "birth, and art come to a 
 people whom thou knewest not heretofore. 
 
 12 Mehovah recompense thy work, and a 
 full reward be given thee of Jehovah God 
 of Israel, 'under whose wings thou art 
 come to trust. 
 
 13 Then she said, ||*Let me find favour

 18 If And she took it up, and went into 
 the city : and her mother-in-law saw what 
 she had gleaned: and she brought forth, 
 and gave to her "that ' which' she had re- 
 served after she was 20 satisfied. 
 
 19 And her mother-in-law said to her, 
 Where hast thou gleaned to-day? and 
 where wroughtest thou ? blessed be he that 
 did ""regard thee. And she shewed her 
 mother-in-law with whom she had wrought, 
 and said, The man's name with whom I 
 wrought to-day is Boaz. 
 
 20 And Naomi said to her daughter-in- 
 law, 'Blessed be he of Jehovah, who 'hath 
 not left off his kindness to the living and 
 to the dead. And Naomi said to her, The 
 man is _ 22 a near relative to us, r ||one of our 
 next kinsmen. 
 
 21 And Ruth the Moabitess said, He said 
 to me also, Thou shalt keep 23 near my 
 young men, until they ' shall' have ended 
 all my harvest. 
 
 22 And Naomi said to Ruth her daugh- 
 ter-in-law, It is good, my daughter, that 
 thou go out with his maidens, that they 
 M fall not upon thee in any other field. 
 
 23 So she kept 25 near the maidens of 
 Boaz to glean to the end of barley -harvest 
 and of wheat-harvest ; and dwelt with her 
 mother-in-law. 
 
 CHAPTER III. 
 
 1 By Naomi's instruction, 5 Ruth lieth at Boaz's 
 feet. 8 Boaz acknowledged the right of a kins- 
 man. 14 He sendeth her away with six measures 
 of barley. 
 
 THEN Naomi her mother-in-law said 
 to her, My daughter, "shall I not seek 
 'rest for thee, that it may be well with thee ? 
 
 2 And now is not Boaz of our kindred, 
 c with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, 
 he winnoweth barley to-night in the thresh- 
 ing floor. 
 
 3 'Bathe thyself therefore, d and anoint 
 2 thyself, and put thy raiment upon 3 thyself, 
 and 4 go down to the floor: but make not 
 thyself known to the man, until he shall 
 have done eating and drinking. 
 
 4 And it shall be when he lieth down, 
 that thou shalt mark the place where he 
 shall lie, and thou shalt go in, and Hun- 
 cover his feet, and lay 6 thyself down ; and 
 he will tell thee what thou shalt do. 
 
 5 And she said to her, All that thou say- 
 est to me I will do. 
 
 6 If And she went down to the floor, and 
 
Jiuth lieth at the feet of Boaz. 
 
 did according to all that her mother-in-law 
 bade her. 
 
 7 And when Boaz had eaten and drank, 
 and 'his heart was merry, he went to lie 
 down at the end of the heap of 6 grain : and 
 she came softly, and uncovered his feet, 
 and 7 lay down. 
 
 8 ^ And it came to pass at midnight, that 
 the man was afraid, and ||turned himself: 
 and behold, a woman lay at his feet. 
 
 9 And he said, Who art thou ? And she 
 answered, I am Ruth thy handmaid: 
 ■^spread therefore thy skirt over thy hand- 
 maid ; for thou art || g a near kinsman. 
 
 10 And he said, A Blessed be thou of Je- 
 hovah, my daughter : for thou hast shewed 
 more kindness in the latter end than 'at 
 the beginning, inasmuch as thou follow- 
 edst not young men, whether poor or rich. 
 
 11 And now, my daughter, fear not; I 
 will do to thee all that thou requirest : for 
 all the tcity of my people doth know that 
 thou art *a virtuous woman. 
 
 12 And now it is true that I am thy 'near 
 kinsman : "but "there is a kinsman nearer 
 than I. 
 
 13 Tarry this night, and it shall be in the 
 morning, that if he will "perform to thee 
 the part of a kinsman, well ; let him do 
 the kinsman's part: but if he 9 is not 
 pleased to do the part of a kinsman to 
 thee, then will I do the part of a kinsman 
 to thee, "as Jehovah liveth : lie down until 
 the morning. 
 
 14 If And she lay at his feet until the 
 morning : and she rose up before one could 
 know another. And he said, ? Let it not 
 be known that a woman came into the 
 floor. 
 
 15 Also he said, Bring the || ,0 mantle that 
 thou hast upon thee, and hold it. And 
 when she held it, he measured six mea- 
 sures of barley, and laid it on her : and 
 she went into the city. 
 
 16 And when she came to her mother- 
 in-law, she said, Who art thou, my daugh- 
 ter ? And she told her all that the man 
 had done to her. 
 
 17 And she said, These six measures of 
 barley gave he 'to' me; for he said to me, 
 Go not empty to thy mother-in-law. 
 
 18 Then said she, 'Sit still, my daughter, 
 until thou know how the matter will fall 
 ' out' : for the man will not be in rest, "ex- 
 cept he finish the thing this day.

 1 Boaz calletk into judgment the next kinsman. 6 
 He refuseth the redemption according to the man-

 He marrieth Ruth. 13 She beareth Obed the grand- 
 father of David. 18 The generation of Pharez. 
 
 THEN went Boaz up to the gate, and 
 sat himself down there : and behold, 
 "the kinsman of whom Boaz spoke came 
 by ; to whom he said, 'Turn aside ! such 
 an one, sit down here. And he turned 
 aside, and sat down. 
 
 2 And he took ten men of 'the elders of 
 the city, and said, Sit ye down here. And 
 they sat down. 
 
 3 And he said to the kinsman, Naomi, 
 2 who hath come again out of the country 
 of Moab, selleth a parcel of land, which 
 was our brother Elimelech's :

 redeem it, then tell me, that I may know : 
 •for there is none to redeem it besides thee ; 
 and I am after thee. And he said, I will 
 redeem it. 
 
 5 Then said Boaz, 4 Whatever day th»u 
 buyest the field of the hand of Naomi, 
 thou must buy it also of Ruth the Moab- 
 itess, the wife of the dead, %> raise up the 
 name of the dead upon his inheritance. 
 
 6 If 'And the kinsman said, I cannot re- 
 deem it for myself, lest 1 5 injure mine own 
 inheritance: redeem thou my right to thy- 
 self; for I cannot redeem it. 
 
 7 *Now this was the manner 6 formerly in 
 Israel concerning redeeming and concern- 
 ing ^exchanging, to confirm all things ; a 
 man "drew off liis shoe, and gave it to his 
 neighbour: and this was a testimony in 
 Israel. 
 
 8 Therefore the kinsman said to Boaz, 
 Buy it for "thyself. So he drew off his 
 shoe. 
 
 9 If And Boaz said to the elders, and to 
 all the people, Ye are witnesses this day, 
 that I have bought all "that was Elime- 
 lech's, and all that was Chilion's and Mah- 
 lon's, of the hand of Naomi. 
 
 10 Moreover, Ruth the Moabitess, the 
 wife of Mahlon, have I purchased to be 
 my wife, to raise up the name of the dead 
 upon his inheritance, 'that the name of the 
 dead be not cut off from among his breth- 
 ren, and from the gate of his place : ye are 
 witnesses this day. 
 
 11 And all the people that were in the 
 gate, and the elders, said, We are wit- 
 nesses. *Jehovah make the woman that 
 is come into thy house like Rachel and 
 like Leah, 10 those two, who did ! build the 
 house of Israel : and ||do thou worthily in 
 "Ephratah and tbe famous in Beth-lehem : 
 
 12 And let thy house be like the house 
 of Pharez, "whom Tamar bore to Judah, 
 of "the seed which Jehovah shall give thee 
 ll by this young woman. 
 
 13 If So Boaz took Ruth, and she was 
 his wife: and when he went in to her, 
 «Jehovah gave her conception, and she 
 bore a son. 
 
 14 And r the women said to Naomi, Bless- 
 ed be Jehovah, who hath not tleft thee this 
 day without a ||kinsman, that his name may 
 be famous in Israel. 
 
 15 And he shall be to thee a restorer of 
 thy life, and ta nourisher of tthine old age : 
 for thy daughter-in-law, who loveth thee, 
 who is 'better to thee than seven sons, hath 
 borne him. 
 
 16 And Naomi took the child, and laid 
 it in her bosom, and became nurse to it. 
 
 17 'And the women her neighbours gave 
 it a name, saying, There is a son born to 
 Naomi ; and they called his name Obed : 
 he is the father of Jesse, the father of David . 
 
 18 If Now these are the "descendants of f

 I. SAMUEL. 
 
 The birth of Samuel. 
 
 nr THE FIRST BOOK OF SAMUEL, OTHERWISE CALLED 
 THE FIRST BOOK OF THE KINGS. 
 
 CHAPTER I. 
 
 1 ^Elkanah a Levite, having two wives, worshippeth 
 pearly at Shiloh. 4 He cherisheth Hannah, though 
 barren, and provoked by Peninnah. 9 Hannah in 
 grief prayeth for a child. 12 Eli first rebuking 
 her, afterwards blesseth her. 19 Hannah having 
 borne Samuel, stayeth at home till he be weaned. 
 24 She presenteth him, according to her vow, to 
 JEHOVAH. 
 
 NOW there was a certain man of Ra- 
 mathaim-zophim, of mount Ephraim, 
 and his name was "Elkanah, the son of 
 Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, 
 the son of Zuph, 4 an Ephrathite : 
 
 2 And he had two wives; the name of 
 the one was Hannah, and the name of the 
 other Peninnah : and Peninnah had child- 
 ren, but Hannah had no children. 
 
 3 And this man went up out of his city 
 'tyearly d to worship and to sacrifice to 
 Jehovah of hosts in 'Shiloh. And the two 
 sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, the 
 priests of Jehovah, were there. 
 
 4 If And when the time was that Elkanah 
 •''offered, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and 
 to all her sons and her daughters, portions : 
 
 5 But to Hannah he gave a 'double portion ; 
 for he loved Hannah ; *but Jehovah had 
 4 made her barren. 
 
 6 And her adversary also fprovoked her 
 much, 3 tomake her fret, because Jehovah 
 had 4 made her barren. 
 
 7 And as he did so year by year, ||t 5 as 
 often as she went up to the house of Jeho- 
 vah, so she provoked her; therefore she 
 wept, and did not eat. 
 
 8 Then said Elkanah her husband to her, 
 Hannah, why weepest thou ? and why 
 eatest thou not? and why is thy heart 
 grieved ? am not I 'better to thee than ten 
 sons? 
 
 9 ^ So Hannah rose up after they had 
 eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drank : 
 (now Eli the priest sat upon a seat by a 
 post of Hhe 6 tabernacle of Jehovah :) 
 
 10 'And she was tin bitterness of soul, 
 and prayed to Jehovah, and wept 'much. 
 
 11 And she "vowed a vow, and said, 
 Jehovah of hosts, if thou wilt indeed "look 
 on the affliction of thy handmaid, and "re- 
 member me, and not forget thy handmaid, 
 but wilt give to thy handmaid ta man child, 
 then I will give him to Jehovah all the days 
 of his life, and there shall no razor come 
 upon his head. 
 
 12 And it came to pass, as she tcontinued 
 
 S raying before Jehovah, that Eli 8 watched 
 er mouth. 
 
 13 Now Hannah, she spoke in her heart; 
 only her lips moved, but her voice was not 
 heard : therefore Eli thought she had been 
 drunken. 
 
 14 And Eli said to her, How long wilt 
 'thou be drunken ? put away thy wine from 
 thee. 
 
 1 5 And Hannah answered and said, No, 
 my lord, I am a woman tof a sorrowful 
 spirit: I have drank neither wine nor 
 strong drink, but have "poured out my 9 de- 
 Bire before Jehovah. 
 
 16 Count not thy handmaid for a daugh-

 17 Then Eli answered and said, 'Go in 
 peace : and 'the God of Israel grant thee 
 thy petition that thou hast askedof him. 
 
 18 And she said, "Let thy handmaid find 
 "favour in thy sight. So the woman *went 
 her way, and did eat, and her countenance 
 was no more sad. 
 
 19 If And they rose up in the morning 
 early, and worshipped before Jehovah, 
 and returned, and came to their house to 
 Ramah : and Elkanah 'knew Hannah his 
 wife ; and 2 Jehovah remembered her. 
 
 20 12 And it came to pass, twhen the "sea- 
 son was come ,4 around after Hannah had 
 conceived, that she bore a son, and called 
 his name ||Samuel, saying, Because I have 
 asked him of Jehovah. 
 
 21 And the man Elkanah, and all his 
 house, "went up to offer to Jehovah the 
 yearly sacrifice, and 16 the vow. 
 
 22 But Hannah went not up ; for she said 
 to her husband, I will not go up until the 
 child be weaned, and then I will 'bring 
 him, that he may appear before Jehovah, 
 and there "abide rf for ever. 
 
 23 And 'Elkanah her husband said to her, 
 Do what seemeth 'to' thee good; tarry 
 until thou ' shalt' have weaned him ; •'only 
 Jehovah establish his word. So the wo- 
 man abode, and .gave her son suck until 
 she weaned him. 
 
 24 If And when she had weaned him, she 
 'took him up with her, with three bullocks, 
 and one epnah of flour, and a 'leathern' 
 bottle of wine, and brought him to *the 
 house of Jehovah in Shiloh: and the child 
 ivas young. 
 
 25 And they slew 16 the bullock, and 
 •brought the child to Eli. 
 
 26 And she said, O my lord, ''as "thou 
 livest, my lord, I am the woman that stood 
 by thee here, praying to Jehovah. 
 
 27 Tor this child I prayed ; and Jehovah 
 hath given me my petition which I asked 
 of him : 
 
 28 ""Therefore also I have [|lent him to 
 Jehovah ; as long as he liveth ||he shall be 
 lent to Jehovah. And he "worshipped Je- 
 hovah there.

 Eli's sons. 18 Samuel's ministry. 20 By Eli's 
 blessing Hannah is more fruitful. 22 Eli re- 
 proveth his sons. 28 A prophecy against Eli's 
 house. 
 
 AND Hannah "prayed, and said, 'My 
 heart rejoiceth in Jehovah, 'my horn 
 is exalted 'by Jehovah; my mouth is Open- 
 ed over mine enemies ; because I "rejoice 
 in thy salvation. 
 
 2 e T7iere is 3 no one holy as Jehovah: for 
 there is /4 no one besides thee : neither is 
 there any rock like our God. 
 
 3 Talk no more so exceeding proudly; 
 s let not tarrogancy come out of your mouth : 
 for Jehovah is a God of knowledge, and 
 by him actions are weighed. 
 
 4 "The bows of the mighty men are broken, 
 and they that stumbled are girded with 
 strength, 
 
The wickedness of Eli's sons. 
 
 5 'Tliey that were full have hired out 
 themselves for bread; and 6 'the' hungry 
 ceased 'from toil' : so that *the barren hath 
 borne seven; and 'she that hath many 
 children 6 hath become feeble. 
 
 6 ""Jehovah killeth, and maketh alive: 
 he bringeth down to the 'grave, and bring- 
 eth up. 
 
 7 Jehovah "maketh poor, and maketh 
 rich : "he bringeth low, and 'he alone' Hft- 
 eth up. 
 
 8 'He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, 
 and lifteth up the "needy from the dung- 
 hill, 'to set them among princes, and to 
 make them inherit the tin-one of glory : for 
 'the pillars of the earth are Jehovah's, and 
 he hath set the world upon them. 
 
 9 'He will 10 guard the feet of his saints, 
 and the wicked shall be silent in darkness ; 
 for by strength shall no man prevail. 
 
 10 The adversaries of Jehovah shall be 
 'broken to pieces; "out of heaven shall he 
 thunder upon them : x Jehovah shall judge 
 the ends of the earth ; and he shall give 
 strength to his king, and "exalt the horn of 
 his Anointed. 
 
 11 And Elkanah went to Ramah to his 
 house. 'And the child did minister to Je- 
 hovah before Eli the priest. 
 
 12 IT Now the sons of Eli were "sons of 
 "wickedness; 'they knew not Jehovah. 
 
 13 And the priest's custom with the peo- 
 ple was, that, when any man offered sacri- 
 hce, the priest's servant came, while the 
 flesh was 12 boiling, with a flesh-hook of 
 three teeth in his hand ; 
 
 14 And he struck it into the pan, or ket- 
 tle, or caldron, or pot ; all that the flesh- 
 hook brought up the priest took for himself. 
 So they did in Shilon to all the Israelites 
 that came thither. 
 
 15 Also before they ''burnt the fat, the 
 priest's servant came, and said to the man 
 that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the 
 priest ; for he will not have ,3 boiled flesh 
 of thee, but raw. 
 
 16 And t/any man said to him, Let them 
 not fail to burn the fat tpresently, and then 
 take as much as thy soul desireth ; then he 
 would answer him, Nayj but thou shalt 
 give it ' to' me now : and if not, I will take 
 it by force. 
 
 17 Wherefore the sin of the young men 
 was very great 'before Jehovah : for men 
 Abhorred the offering of Jehovah. 
 
 18 TI fBut Samuel ministered before Je- 
 hovah, being a child, "girded with a linen 
 ephod. 
 
 19 Moreover his mother made him a little 
 M cloak, and brought it to him from year to 
 year, when she 'came up with her husband, 
 to offer the yearly sacrifice. 
 
 20 If And Eli 'blessed Elkanah and his 
 wife, and said, Jehovah give thee seed of 
 this woman for the || loan which is 'lent to 
 Jehovah. And they went to their own 
 home. 
 
 21 And Jehovah "visited Hannah, so that 
 she conceived, and bore three sons and two 
 daughters. And the child Samuel "grew 
 before Jehovah. 
 
 22 f Now Eli was very old, and heard all 
 that his sons did to all Israel; and how 
 they lay with "the women that tassembled 
 at the door of the 'Hentof the congregation. 
 
 23 And he said to them, "Why do ye such

 things? for ||I hear of your evil dealings 
 by all this people. 
 
 24 Nay, my sons; for it is no good report 
 that I hear: ye make Jehovah's people ||to 
 transgress. 
 
 25 If one man sin against another, the 
 judge shall judge him : but if a man p sin 
 against Jehovah, who shall ^intercede for 
 him? Notwithstanding, they hearkened 
 not to the voice of their father, 'because 
 Jehovah would slay them. 
 
 26 And the child Samuel r grew on, and 
 was 'in favour both with Jehovah, and also 
 with men. 
 
 27 If 'And there came a man of God to 
 Eli, and said to him, Thus saith Jehovah, 
 "Did I plainly appear to the house of thy 
 father, when they were in Egypt in Pha- 
 raoh's house? 
 
 28 And did I "choose him out of all the 
 tribes of Israel to be my priest, to offer 
 upon mine altar, to burn incense, to wear 
 an ephod before me ? and y did I give to the 
 house of thy father all the offerings made 
 by fire of the children of Israel ? 
 
 29 Wherefore 2 "trample ye I8 on my sacri- 
 fice and 19 on mine offering, which I have 
 commanded in my "habitation ; and honour- 
 est thy sons above me, to make yourselves 
 fat with the 20 chief part of all the offerings 
 of Israel my people ? 
 
 30 Wherefore Jehovah God of Israel 
 saith, 'I said indeed that thy house, and 
 the house of thy father, should walk before 
 me for ever : but now Jehovah saith, c Be 
 it far from me; for them that honour me 
 ''I will honour, and they that despise me 
 shall be lightly esteemed. 
 
 31 Behold, Ahe days come, that I will cut 
 off thine arm, and the arm of thy father's 
 house, 'so' that there shall not be an old 
 man in thy house. 
 
 32 And thou shalt see ||an enemy in my 
 habitation, in all 3I things in which God 
 would have favoured Israel : and there 
 shall not be ? an old man in thy house for 
 ever. 
 
 33 And the man of thine, whom I shall 
 not cut off from mine altar, shall be to 
 consume thine eyes, and to . grieve thy 
 ^soul : and all the increase of thy house 
 shall die tin the flower of their age. 
 
 34 And this shall be * M the sign to thee, 
 that shall come upon thy two sons, on 
 Hophni and Phinehas: 'in one day they 
 shall die both of them. 
 
 35 And *I will raise me up a faithful 
 priest, that shall do according to that 
 which is in my heart and in my mind : 
 and 'I will build him a sure house ; and he 
 shall walk before "mine Anointed for ever. 
 
 36 "And it shall come to pass, that every 
 one that is left in thy house, shall come 
 and ^bow down to him for a piece of silver 
 and a ^loaf of bread, and shall say, tPut 
 me, I pray thee, into ||one of the priests' 
 offices, that I may eat a piece of bread. 
 
 CHAPTER III. 
 
 1 How the word of JEHOVAH was first revealed to 
 Samuel. 11 God telleth Samuel the destruction of 
 EIVs house. 15 Samuel, though loth, telleth Eli 
 the vision. 19 Samuel groweth in credit. 
 
 AND "the child Samuel ministered to 
 Jehovah before Eli. And *the word 
 of the Lord was 'rare in those days ^vi- 
 sions were not common. 
 
 201 
 
God calleth Samuel. 
 
 2 And it came to pass at that time, when 
 Eli was laid down in his place, 'and his 
 eyes began to 3 grow dim, ■ so' that he could 
 not see ; 
 
 3 And 'before d the lamp of God went out 
 in the 5 tabernacle of Jehovah, where the 
 
 ark of God was, and Samuel was laid down 
 
 to sleep; 
 
 4 6 Then Jehovah called Samuel : and he 
 answered, Here am I. 
 
 5 And he ran to Eli, and said, Here am 
 I ; for thou calledst me. And he said, I 
 called not; lie down again. And he went 
 and lay down. 
 
 6 And Jehovah called yet again, Samuel. 
 And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and 
 said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. 
 And he answered, I called not, my son ; 
 lie down again. 
 
 7 || Now Samuel 'did not yet know Jeho- 
 vah, neither was the word of Jehovah yet 
 revealed to him. 
 
 8 And Jehovah called Samuel again the 
 third time. And he arose and went to Eli, 
 and said, Here am I; for thou didst call 
 me. And Eli perceived that Jehovah had 
 called the child. 
 
 9 Therefore Eli said to Samuel, Go, lie 
 down : and it shall be, if he call thee, that 
 thou shalt say, Speak, Jehovah; for thy 
 servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay 
 down in his place. 
 
 10 And Jehovah came, and stood and 
 called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. 
 Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy 
 servant heareth. 
 
 11 If And Jehovah said to Samuel, Be- 
 hold, I will do a thing in Israel, e nt which 
 both the ears of every one that heareth it 
 shall tingle. 
 
 12 In that day I will perform against Eli 
 *all things which I have spoken concern- 
 ing his house : twhen I begin I will also 
 make an end. 
 
 13 || l For I have told him, that I will "punish 
 his house for ever, for the iniquity which 
 he knoweth: because 'his sons made them- 
 selves ||vile, and he t m restrained them not. 
 
 14 And therefore I have sworn to the 
 house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli's 
 house "shall not be "atoned for with sacri- 
 fice nor offering for ever. 
 
 15 H And Samuel lay until the morning, 
 and opened the doors of the house of Jeho- 
 vah : and Samuel feared to shew Eli the 
 vision. 
 
 16 Then Eli called Samuel, and said, 
 Samuel, my son. And he answered, Here 
 am I. 
 
 \7 And he said, What is the thing that 
 JEHOVAH hath said to thee? I pray 
 thee hide it not from me: "God do so to 
 thee, and tmore also, if thou hide any 
 || thing from me, of all the things that he 
 said to thee. 
 
 18 And Samuel told him t 9 all the words, 
 and hid nothing from him. And he said, 
 pl0 He is Jehovah: let him do what seemeth 
 ' to' him good. 
 
 19 If And Samuel 'grew, and 'Jehovah 
 was with him, 'and did let none of his 
 words fall to the ground. 
 
 20 And all Israel, 'from Dan even to 
 Beer-sheba, knew that Samuel was "truly 
 a prophet of Jehovah. 
 
 21 And Jehovah appeared again in Shi-

 CHAPTER IV. 
 
 1 The Israelites are overcome by the Philistines at 
 Eben-ezer. 3 They fetch the ark to the terror of 
 the Philistines. 10 They are smitten again, the ark 
 taken, Hophni and Phinehas are slain. 12 Eli at 
 the news,falling backward, breaketh his neck. 19 
 Phinehas' wife, discouraged in her travail with 
 1-chabod, dieth. 
 
 AND the word of Samuel || tcame to all 
 Israel. Now Israel went out against 
 the Philistines to battle, and pitched be- 
 side "Eben-ezer: and the Philistines pitch- 
 ed in Aphek. 
 
 2 And the Philistines put themselves in 
 array against Israel : and when tthey join- 
 ed battle, Israel was smitten before the 
 Philistines : and they slew of tthe army in 
 the field about four thousand men. 
 
 3 If And when the people were come into 
 the camp, the elders of Israel said, Where- 
 fore hath Jehovah smitten us to-day be- 
 fore the Philistines? Let us t 'bring the 
 ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of 
 Shiloh to us, that when 2 it cometh among 
 us, it may save us out of the hand of our 
 enemies. 
 
 4 So the people sent to Shiloh, that they 
 might bring from thence the aik of the 
 covenant of Jehovah of hosts, 'who dwell- 
 eth between c the cherubim : and the two 
 sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were 
 there with the ark of the covenant of 
 God. 
 
 5 And when the ark of the covenant of 
 Jehovah came into the camp, all Israel 
 shouted with a great shout, so that the 
 earth rang again. 
 
 6 And when the Philistines heard the 
 noise of the shout, they said, What mean- 
 eth the noise of this great shout in the 
 camp of the Hebrews ? And they under- 
 stood that the ark of Jehovah was come 
 into the camp. 
 
 7 And the Philistines were afraid, for 
 they said, 3 God is con\e into the camp. 
 And they said, Wo to us ! for there hath 
 not been such a thing theretofore. 
 
 8 Wo to us ! who 4 will deliver us out of 
 the hand of these mighty 5 Gods ? these are 
 the Gods that smote the Egyptians with 
 all the plagues in the 6 desert. 
 
 9 d Be strong, and 'act like men, O ye 
 Philistines, that ye be not servants to the 
 Hebrews, 'as they have been to you : t 8 act 
 like men, and fight. 
 
 10 t And the Philistines fought, and 'Is- 
 rael was smitten, and they fled 9 each man 
 into his tent : and there was a very great 
 slaughter, for there fell of Israel thirty 
 thousand footmen. 
 
 11 And ? the ark of 10 God was taken; and 
 A the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phine- 
 has, twere slain. 
 
 12 If And there ran a man of Benjamin 
 out of the army, and 'came to Shiloh the 
 same day with his clothes rent, and *with 
 earth upon his head. 
 
 13 And when he came, lo, Eli sat upon 
 'a seat by the way-side watching : for his 
 heart trembled for the ark of God. And 
 when the man came into the city and told 
 it all the city cried out. 
 
 14 And when Eli heard the noise of the 
 "cry, he said, What meaneth the noise of 
 
Dagon falleth before the ark. 
 
 CHAPTERS V. VI. 
 
 The Philistines smitten with piles 
 
 tliis tumult? And the man came in hastily, 
 and told Eli. 
 
 15 Now Eli was ninety and eight years 
 old ; and m his eyes twere dim, ' so' that he 
 could not see. 
 
 16 And the man said to Eli, I am he that 
 came out of the army, and I fled to-day 
 out of the army. And he said, "What tis 
 there done, my son ? 
 
 17 And the messenger answered and said, 
 Israel is fled before the Philistines, and 
 there hath been also a great slaughter 
 among the people, and thy two sons also, 
 Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the 
 ark of God is taken. 
 
 18 And it came to pass, when he made 
 mention of the ark of God, that he fell 
 from off* the seat backward by the side of 
 the gate, and his neck broke, and he died : 
 for he was an old man, and heavy. ||And 
 he had judged Israel forty years. 
 
 19 f And his daughter-in-law, Phinehas' 
 wife, was with child near ||to be delivered : 
 and when she heard the tidings that the 
 ark of God was taken, and that her father- 
 in-law and her husband were dead, she 
 bowed herself, and travailed; for her pains 
 tcame upon her. 
 
 20 And about the time of her death, "the 
 women that stood by her said to her, Fear 
 not ; for thou hast borne a son. But she 
 answered not, tneither did she regard it. 
 
 21 And she named the child || y Ichabod, 
 saying, 'The glory is departed from Israel. 
 (Because the ark of God was taken, and 
 because of her father-in-law and her hus- 
 band.) 
 
 22 And she said, The glory is departed 
 from Israel : for the ark of God is taken. 
 
 CHAPTER V. 
 
 1 The Philistines having brought the ark into Ash- 
 dod, set it in the house of Dagon. 3 Dagon is 
 smitten down and cut in pieces, and they of Ashdod 
 smitten with l piles. 8 So God dealelh with them of 
 Gath, when it was brought thither : 10 and so with 
 them of Ekron, when it was brought thither. 
 
 AND the Philistines took the ark of God, 
 and brought it "from Eben-ezer to 
 Ashdod. 
 
 2 When the Philistines took the ark of 
 God, they brought it into the house of 
 'Dagon, and set it by Dagon. 
 
 3 •[[ And when they of Ashdod arose early 
 on the morrow, behold, Dagon ''■had 'fallen 
 upon his face to the earth before the ark 
 of Jehovah. And they took Dagon, and 
 rf set him in his place again. 
 
 4 And when they arose early on the mor- 
 row morning, behold, Dagon 3 had fallen 
 upon his face to the ground before the ark 
 of Jehovah : and 'the head of Dagon, and 
 both the palms of his hands were cut off 
 upon the threshold ; only \\the stump of 
 Dagon was left to him. 
 
 5 Therefore neither the priests of Dagon, 
 nor any that come into Dagon's house, 
 ■tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod 
 to this day. 
 
 6 But s the hand of Jehovah was heavy 
 upon them of Ashdod, and he "destroyed 
 them, and smote them with "piles, even 
 Ashdod, and the 5 regions thereof. 
 
 7 And when the men of Ashdod saw that 
 it was so, they said, The ark of the God 
 of Israel shall not abide with us : for his 
 nand is 6 severe upon us, and upon Dagon 
 our god.

 8 They sent therefore, and assembled all 
 the lords of the Philistines to them, and 
 said, What shall we do with the ark of the 
 God of Israel ? And they answered, Let 
 the ark of the God of Israel be carried 
 about to Gath. And they carried the ark 
 of the God of Israel about thither. 
 
 9 And it was so, that after they had 
 carried it about, *the hand of Jehovah was 
 against the city 'with a very great destruc- 
 tion : and m he smote the men of the city 
 both small and great, and they 7 broke out 
 with piles. 
 
 10 ^ Therefore they sent the ark of God 
 to Ekron. And it came to pass as the ark 
 of God came to Ekron, that the Ekronites 
 cried out, saying, They have brought about 
 the ark of the God of Israel to tus, to slay 
 us and our people. 
 
 11 So they sent and gathered together all 
 the lords of the Philistines, and said, Send 
 away the ark of the God of Israel, and let 
 it go again to its own place, that "Ht slay 
 tus not, and our people : for there was a 
 deadly destruction throughout all the city; 
 "the hand of God was very heavy there. 
 
 12 And the men that died not, were smit- 
 ten with the 9 piles : and the cry of the city 
 went up to heaven. 
 
 CHAPTER VI. 
 
 1 After seven months the Philistines take counsel 
 how to send back the ark. 10 They bring it on a 
 new cart with an offering to Beth-shemesh. 19 
 The people are smitten for looking into the ark. 
 21 They send to them of Kirjath-jearim to fetch it. 
 
 AND the ark of Jehovah was in the coun- 
 try of the Philistines seven months. 
 
 2 And the Philistines "called for the 
 priests and the diviners, saying. What 
 shall we do to the ark of Jehovah? tell us 
 wherewith we shall send it to its place. 
 
 3 And they said, If ye send away the ark 
 of the God of Israel, send it not 'empty ; 
 but 'certainly return him c a trespass-offer- 
 ing: then ye shall be healed, and it shall 
 d be known to you why his hand is not re- 
 moved from you. 
 
 4 Then said they, What shallbe the tres- 
 pass-offering which we shall return to him ? 
 They answered, Five golden Vies, and 
 five golden 3 field-mice, 'according to the 
 number of the lords of the Philistines : 
 for one plague was on tyou all, and on 
 your lords. 
 
 5 Wherefore ye shall make images of 
 your 4 piles, and images of your 5 field-mice 
 that /6 destroy the land ; and ye shall «giye 
 glory to the God of Israel : ""perhaps he will 
 'lighten his hand from oft" you, and from 
 off 'your 8 rulers, and from off your land. 
 
 6 Wherefore then do ye harden your 
 hearts, *as the Egyptians and Pharaoh har- 
 dened their hearts ? when he had wrought 
 II wonderfully among them, 'did they not 
 let tthe people go, and they departed ? 
 
 7 Now therefore make m a new cart, and 
 take two milch- 9 cows "on which there hath 
 come no yoke, and tie the '"cows to <he 
 cart, and bring their calves home from 
 them: 
 
 8 And take the ark of Jehovah, and lay 
 it upon the cart; and put "the jewels of 
 gold which ye return him for a trespass- 
 offering, in a "box by the side thereof; and 
 send it away, that it may go. 
 
 9 And see, if it goeth up by the way of 
 
 203 
 
The Philistines send back the ark. 
 
 its own ^border to ^Beth-shemesh, then ||he 
 hath clone us this great evil : but if not, 
 then 'we shall know that it is not his hand 
 that smote us ; it was a chance that hap- 
 pened to us. 
 
 10 If And the men did so ; and took two 
 milch- 13 cows, and tied them to the cart, 
 and shut up their calves at home : 
 
 11 And they laid the ark of Jehovah 
 upon the cart, and the M box with the 
 l6 field-mice of gold and the images of their 
 !6 piles. 
 
 12 And the "cows took the straight way 
 to the way of Beth-shemesh, and went 
 along I8 one way, lowing as they went, and 
 turned not aside to the right hand or to the 
 left ; and the lords of the Philistines went 
 after them to the border of Beth-shemesh. 
 
 13 And they of Beth-shemesh were reap- 
 ing their wheat harvest in the valley : and 
 they lifted up their eyes, and saw the ark, 
 and rejoiced to see it. 
 
 14 And the cart came into the field of 
 Joshua, a Beth-shemite, and stood there, 
 where there was a great stone : and they 
 l9 split the wood of the cart, and offered 
 the 20 cows a burnt-offering to Jehovah. 
 
 15 And the Levites took down the ark 
 of Jehovah, and the 2I box that was withtV, 
 wherein the jewels of gold were, and put 
 them on the great stone : and the men of 
 Beth-shemesh offered burnt-offerings and 
 sacrificed sacrifices the same day to Jeho- 
 vah. 
 
 16 And when the five lords of the Phi- 
 listines had seen it, they returned to Ek- 
 ron the same day. 
 
 17 'And these are the golden Spiles which 
 the Philistines returned for a trespass-of- 
 fering to Jehovah ; for Ashdod one, for 
 Gaza one, for Askelon one, for Gath one, 
 for Ekron one ; 
 
 18 And the golden ^field-mice, accord- 
 ing to the number of all the cities of the 
 Philistines belonging, to the five lords, 
 both of fenced cities, and of country vil- 
 lages, even to the "great stone, whereon 
 they set down the ark of Jehovah : which 
 stone remaineth to this day in the field of 
 Joshua the Beth-shemite. 
 
 19 If And 'he smote the men of Beth-she- 
 mesh, because they had looked into the ark 
 of Jehovah, even he smote of the people 
 fifty thousand and threescore and ten men : 
 and the people lamented, because Jehovah 
 had smitten many of the people with a 
 great slaughter. 
 
 20 And the men of Beth-shemesh said, 
 "Who is able to stand before ^Jehovah 
 this holy God ? and to whom shall he go 
 up from us ? 
 
 21 If And they sent messengers to the in- 
 habitants of x Kirjath-jearim, saying, The 
 Philistines have brought again the ark of 
 Jehovah ; come ye down, and bring it up 
 to you. 
 
 CHAPTER VII. 
 
 1 They of Kirjath-jearim bring the ark into the house 
 of Abinadab, and sanctify Eleazar his son to keep 
 it. 2 After twenty years 3 the Israelites, by Sam- 
 uel's means, solemnly repent at Mizpeh. 7 While 
 Samuel prayeth and sacrificeth, JEHOVAH dis- 
 comfiteth the Philistines by thunder at Eben-ezer. 
 13 The Philistines are subdued. 15 Samuel peace- 
 ably and religiously judgeth Israel. 
 
 AND the men of "Kirjath-jearim came, 
 and brought up the ark of Jehovah,

 The Israelites repent at Mizpeh. 
 
 and brought it into the house of 'Abina- 
 dab 'on the hill, and sanctified Eleazar his 
 son to keep the ark of Jehovah. 
 
 2 And it came to pass, while the ark 
 abode in Kirjath-jearim, that the time was 
 long ; for it was twenty years : and all the 
 house of Israel lamented after Jehovah. 
 
 3 If And Samuel spoke to all the house of 
 Israel, saying, If ye do 'return to Jehovah 
 with all your hearts, then d put away the 
 strange gods, and 'Ashtaroth, from among 
 you, and 'prepare your hearts to Jehovah, 
 and ff serve him only : and he will deliver 
 you out of the hand of the Philistines. 
 
 4 Then the children of Israel did put 
 away ^Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and served 
 Jehovah only. 
 
 5 And Samuel said/Assemble all Israel to 
 Mizpeh, and I will pray for you to Jeho- 
 vah. 
 
 6 And they gathered together to Mizpeh, 
 *and drew water, and poured it out before 
 Jehovah, and 'fasted on that day, and said 
 there, m We have sinned against Jehovah. 
 And Samuel judged the children of Israel 
 in Mizpeh. 
 
 7 And when the Philistines heard that 
 the children of Israel were gathered to- 
 gether to Mizpeh, the lords ot the Philis- 
 tines went up against Israel. And when 
 the children of Israel heard it, they were 
 afraid of the Philistines. 
 
 8 And the children of Israel said to Sam- 
 uel, fCease not to cry to Jehovah our 
 God for us, that he will save us out of the 
 hand of the Philistines. 
 
 9 ^ And Samuel took a sucking lamb, 
 and offered it for a burnt-offering wholly 
 to Jehovah: and 'Samuel cried to Jeho- 
 vah for Israel ; and Jehovah []heard him. 
 
 10 And as Samuel was offering up the 
 burnt-offering, the Philistines drew near 
 to battle against Israel: r but Jehovah 
 thundered with a great 2 voice on that day 
 3 against the Philistines, and discomfited 
 them ; and they were smitten before Israel . 
 
 11 And the men of Israel went out of 
 Mizpeh, and pursued the Philistines, and 
 smote them,untLUAe2/ came under Beth-car. 
 
 12 Then Samuel 'took a stone, and set it 
 between Mizpeh and Shen, and called the 
 name of it [|Eben-ezer, saying, Hitherto 
 hath Jehovah helped us. 
 
 13 ^ 'So the Philistines were subdued, 
 and they "came no more into the "region 
 of Israel : and the hand of Jehovah was 
 against the Philistines all the days of 
 Samuel. 
 
 14 And the cities which the Philistines 
 had taken from Israel were restored to Is- 
 rael, from Ekron even to Gath; and the 
 5 regions thereof did Israel deliver out of 
 the hands of the Philistines : and there was 
 peace between Israel and the Amorites. 
 
 15 And Samuel fudged Israel all the 
 days of his life. 
 
 16 And he went from year to year tin 
 circuit to Beth-el, and Gilgal, and Miz- 
 peh, and judged Israel in all those places. 
 
 \7 And *his return was to Raman; for 
 there was his house ; and there he judged 
 Israel ; and there he *built an altar to Je- 
 hovah. 
 
 CHAPTER VIII. 
 
 1 By occasion of the ill government of Samuel's 
 sons, the Israelites ask a king. 6 Samuel praying 
 
The practice of a king foretold. 
 
 in grief, is comforted by God: 10 He telleth the 
 ^practice of a king. 19 God willeth Samuel to 
 yield to the importunity of the people. 
 
 AND it came to pass, when Samuel was 
 old, that he "made his 'sons judges 
 over Israel. 
 
 2 Now the name of his first-born was 
 || Joel ; and the name of his second, Abiah : 
 they were judges in Beer-sheba. 
 S And his sons 'walked not in his ways, 
 but turned aside d after 2 unjust gain, and 
 took bribes, and perverted judgment. 
 
 4 Then all the elders of Israel gathered 
 themselves together, and came to Samuel 
 to Ramah, 
 
 5 And said to him, Behold, thou art old, 
 and thy sons walk not in thy ways : now 
 Anake us a king to judge us like all the 
 nations. 
 
 6 ^f But the thing tdispleased Samuel, 
 when they said, Give us a king to judge 
 us : and Samuel prayed to Jehovah. 
 
 7 And Jehovah said to Samuel, Hearken 
 to the voice of the people in all that they 
 say to thee: for they have not rejected 
 thee, but ''they have rejected me, that I 
 should not reign over them. 
 
 8 According to all the works which they 
 have done since the day that I brought 
 them up out of Egypt even to this day, 
 wherewith they have forsaken me, and 
 served other gods, so do they also to thee. 
 
 9 Now therefore ||hear*en to their voice : 
 || 'nevertheless, yet testify solemnly to 
 them, and 'shew them the 5 practice of the 
 king that shall reign over them. 
 
 10 If And Samuel told all the words of 
 Jehovah to the people that asked of him a 
 king. 
 
 11 And he said, *This will be the prac- 
 tice of the king that shall reign oyer you : 
 'He will take your sons, and appoint them 
 for himself, for his chariots, and to be his 
 horsemen ; and some shall run before his 
 chariots. 
 
 12 And he will appoint him captains over 
 thousands, and captains over fifties ; and 
 will set them to 'plough his ground, and to 
 reap his harvest, ana to make his instru- 
 ments of war, and instruments of his cha- 
 riots. 
 
 13 And he will take your daughters to be 
 8 perfumers, and to be cooks, and to be 
 bakers. 
 
 14 And m he will take your fields, and your 
 vineyards, and your oliveyards, even the 
 best of them, ana give them to his servants. 
 
 15 And he will take the tenth of your 
 seed, and of your vineyards, and give to 
 his tofficers, and to his servants. 
 
 16 And he will take your men-servants, 
 and your maid-servants, and your 9 best

 and ye shall be his servants.

 you in that day.

 Nay : but we will have a king over us ;

 Saul sent to seek his father's asses. 
 
 21 And Samuel heard all the words of 
 the people, and he rehearsed them in the 
 '"hearing of Jehovah. 
 
 22 And Jehovah said to Samuel, 'Hearken 
 to their voice, and make them a king. And 
 Samuel said to the men of Israel, Go ye 
 "each man to his city. 
 
 CHAPTER IX. 
 
 1 Saul despairing to find his father's asses, 6 by the 
 counsel of his servant, 1 1 and direction of young 
 maidens, 15 according to God's revelation, 18 Com- 
 eth to Samuel. 19 Samuel entertaineth Saul at the 
 feast. 25 Samuel, after secret communication, 
 bringeth Saul on his way. 
 
 TYTOW there was a man of Benjamin, 
 -L '_ whose name was "Kish, the son of 
 Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Becho- 
 rath, the son of Aphiali, ||a Benjamite, a 
 mighty man of Upower. 
 
 2 And he had a son, whose name was 
 Saul, a choice * and excellent' young man : 
 1 and there was not among the children of 
 Israel a 2 more excellent person than he: 
 'from his shoulders and upwards he was 
 higher than any of the people. 
 
 3 And the asses of Kish, Saul's father, 
 were lost. And Kish said to Saul his son, 
 Take now one of the servants with thee, 
 and arise, go seek the asses. 
 
 4 And he passed through mount Ephraim, 
 and passed through the land of 'Shalisha, 
 but thej» found them not: then they passed 
 through the land of Shalim, and there they 
 were not : and he passed through the land 
 the Benjamites, but they found them not. 
 
 5 And when they 3 had come to the land 
 of Zuph, Saul said to his servant that was 
 with nim, Come, and let us return ; lest 
 my father 4 cease to care for the asses, and 
 5 fear for us. 
 
 6 And he said to him, Behold now, there 
 is in this city d a man of God, and he is an 
 honourable man; 'all that he saith cometh 
 surely to pass : now let us go thither; "per- 
 haps he can shew us our way which we 
 should go. 
 
 7 Then said Saul to his servant, But be- 
 hold, if we go, %hat shall we bring the 
 man ? for the bread "lis spent in our ves- 
 sels, and there is not a present to bring to 
 the man of God : what thave we ? 
 
 8 And the servant answered Saul again, 
 and said, Behold, tl have here at hand the 
 fourth part of a shekel of silver : that will 
 I give to the man of God, to tell us our 
 way. 
 
 9 (Tormerlyin Israel, when a man s went 
 to inquire of God, thus he spoke, Come, 
 and let us go to the seer : for he that is 
 now called a Prophet was "formerly called 
 *a Seer.) 
 
 10 Then said Saul to his servant, 9 Thy 
 word is good ; come, let us go : so they 
 went to the city where the man of God was. 
 
 11 IT And as they went up tthe hill to the 
 city, they found young maidens going out 
 to draw water, and said to them, Is the 
 seer here ? 
 
 12 And they answered them, and said, 
 He is ; behold, he is before you : make 
 haste now, for he came to-day to the city ; 
 for Hhere is a flsacrifice of the people to- 
 day 'in the high place : 
 
 13 As soon as ye 10 are come into the city, 
 ye shall "thus find him, before he re goeth 
 up to the high place to eat : for the people 
 
 205 
 
Samuel entertaineth Saul, 
 
 will not eat until he 13 cometh, because he 
 doth bless the sacrifice ; and afterwards 
 they eat that u are bidden. Now therefore 
 ,B gO up : ' 
 him. 
 
 I. SAMUEL. 
 
 for about tthis time ye 16 will find 
 
 14 And they went up into the city : and 
 when they were come into the city, behold, 
 Samuel came out against them, " to go up 
 to the high place. 
 
 15 If m Now Jehovah had ttold Samuel in 
 his "hearing a day before Saul came, say- 
 ing, 
 
 16 To-morrow about this time I will send 
 thee a man out of the land of Benjamin, 
 "and thou shalt anoint him to be 19 prince 
 over my people Israel, that he may save my 
 people out of the hand of the Philistines : 
 for I have "looked upon my people, be- 
 cause their cry is come to me. 
 
 17 And when Samuel saw Saul, Jehovah 
 said to him, p Behold the man ' of' whom I 
 spoke to thee ! this same ' one' shall treign 
 over my people. 
 
 18 Then Saul drew near to Samuel in 
 the gate, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, 
 where the seer's house is. 
 
 19 And Samuel answered Saul, and said, 
 I am the seer: go up before me to the high 
 place; for ye shall eat with me to-day, 
 and to-morrow I will let thee go, and will 
 tell thee all that is in thy heart. 
 
 20 And as for 'thine asses that #ere lost 
 tthree days ago, set not thy mind on them; 
 for they are found. And on whom r is all 
 the desire of Israel ? Is it not on thee, 
 and on all thy father's house ? 
 
 21 And Saul answered and said, 'Am 
 not I a Benjamite, of the 'smallest of the 
 tribes of Israel ? and "my family the ^low- 
 est of all the families of the tribe of Ben- 
 jamin ? wherefore then speakest thou tso 
 to me ? 
 
 22 And Samuel took Saul, and his ser- 
 vant, and brought them into the parlour, 
 and made them sit in the chief place among 
 them that were bidden, who were about 
 thirty persons. 
 
 23 And Samuel said to the cook, Bring 
 the portion which I gave thee, of which I 
 said to thee, Set it by thee. 
 
 24 And the cook took up *the shoulder, 
 and that which was upon it, and set it be- 
 fore Saul. And Samuel said, Behold that 
 which is ||left ! set it before thee, and eat ; 
 for to this ' appointed' time hath it been 
 kept for thee since I said, I have invited 
 the people. So Saul did eat with Samuel 
 that day. 
 
 25 If And when they were come down 
 from the high place into the city, Samuel 
 21 talked with Saul upon ^the top of the 
 house. 
 
 26 And they arose early : and it came to 
 pass about the ^dawn of the day that Sa- 
 muel called Saul to the top of the house, 
 saying, 23 Rise, that I may send thee away. 
 And Saul arose, and they went out both 
 of them, he and Samuel, abroad. 
 
 27 And as they were going down to the 
 end of the city, Samuel said to Saul, Bid> 
 the servant pass on before us, (and he 
 passed on,) but stand thou still ta while, 
 that I may shew thee the word of God.

 chosen at Mizpeh by lot. 26 The different affec- 
 tions of his subjects. 
 
 THEN "Samuel took a 'bottle of oil, and 
 poured it upon his head, 'and kissed 
 him, and said, Is it not because 'Jehovah 
 hath anointed thee to be *prince over ''his 
 inheritance ? 
 
 2 When thou art departed from me to- 
 day, then thou shalt find two men by 'Ra- 
 chel's sepulchre in the border of Benjamin 
 ■%t Zelzah ; and they will say to thee, The 
 asses which thou wentest to seek are found : 
 and lo, thy father hath left tthe care of the 
 asses, and 3 is afraid for you, saying, What 
 shall I do for my son ? 
 
 3 Then shalt thou go on 4 from thence, 
 and thou shalt come to the 5 oak of Tabor, 
 and there shall meet thee three men going 
 up *to God to Beth-el, one carrying three 
 kids, and another carrying three loaves of 
 bread, and another carrying a 'leathern' 
 bottle of wine : 
 
 4 And they will t 6 ask thee concerning 
 thy welfare, and give thee two loaves of 
 bread ; which thou shalt receive Trom their 
 hands. 
 
 5 After that thou shalt come to 'the hill 
 of God, 'where is the garrison of the Phi- 
 listines : and it shall come to pass, when 
 thou art come thither to the city, that thou 
 shalt meet a 8 bancrof prophets coming down 
 'from the high place with a psaltery, and a 
 tabret, and a pipe, and a harp before them ; 
 'and they shall prophesy : 
 
 6 And "the Spirit of Jehovah will come 
 upon thee, and "thou shalt prophesy with 
 them, and shalt be turned into another 
 man. 
 
 7 And 9 it shall come to pass that when 
 these "signs are come upon thee, ithat thou 
 'shalt' do as occasion shall serve thee; 
 for ?God is with thee. 
 
 8 And thou shalt go down before me 'to 
 Gilgal ; and behold, I will come down to 
 thee, to offer burnt-offerings, and to sacri- 
 fice sacrifices of '"thank-offerings : r seven 
 days shalt thou tarry, till I come to thee, 
 and shew thee what thou shalt do. 
 
 9 If And it was so, that when he had 
 turned his tback to go from Samuel, God 
 tgave him another heart: and all those 
 signs came to pass that day. 
 
 10 And 'when they came thither to the 
 hill, behold, 'a "band of prophets met him; 
 and "the Spirit of God came upon him, and 
 he prophesied among them. 
 
 11 And it came to pass when all that 
 knew him ,2 formerly, saw, that, behold, he 
 prophesied among the prophets, then the 
 people said tone to another, What is this 
 that is come unto the son of Kish ? x Is 
 Saul also among the prophets? 
 
 12 And one tof the same place answered 
 and said, But »who is their father? There- 
 fore it became a proverb, Is Saul also 
 among the prophets? 
 
 13 And when he had made an end of pro- 
 phesying, he came to the high place. 
 
 14 *ff And Saul's uncle said to him and to 
 his servant, Whither went ye? And he 
 said, To seek the asses: and when we saw 
 13 them no where, we came to Samuel. 
 
 15 And Saul's uncle said, Tell me, I pray 
 thee, what Samuel said to you. 
 
Saul-proclaimed king at Mizpeh. 
 
 16 And Saul said to his uncle, He told us 
 plainly that the asses were found. But of 
 the matter of the kingdom, of whichSamuel 
 spoke, he told him not. 
 
 17 f And Samuel called the people to- 
 gether Ho Jehovah °to Mizpeh; 
 
 18 And said to the children of Israel, 
 *Thus saith Jehovah God of Israel, I 
 brought up Israel out of Egypt, and deli- 
 vered you but of the hand ot the Egyptians, 
 and out of the hand of all kingdoms, and 
 of them that oppressed you : 
 
 19 "And ye have this day rejected your 
 God, who himself saved you out of all your 
 adversities, and your "troubles; and ye 
 have said to him, Nay, but set a king over 
 us. Now therefore present yourselves be- 
 fore Jehovah by your tribes, and by your 
 thousands. 
 
 20 And when Samuel had ''caused all the 
 tribes of Israel to come near, the tribe of 
 Benjamin was taken. 
 
 21 When he had caused the tribe of Ben- 
 jamin to come near by their families, the 
 family of Matri was taken, and Saul the 
 son of Kish was taken: and when they 
 sought him, he could not be found. 
 
 22 Therefore they 'inquired of Jehovah 
 further, if the man 15 would yet come thither. 
 And Jehovah answered, Behold, he hath 
 "hidden himself among the stuff. 
 
 23 And they ran and "took him thence : 
 and when he stood among the people, f he 
 was higher than any of the people from his 
 shoulders and upward. 
 
 24 And Samuel said to all the people, 
 See ye him «whom Jehovah hath chosen, 
 that there is none like him among all the 
 people ? And all the people shouted, and 
 said, '"t 18 Long life to the king. 
 
 25 Then Samuel told the people 'the 
 "practice of the_ kingdom, and wrote it in 
 a book, and laid it up before Jehovah. 
 And Samuel sent all the people away, 
 ^each man to his house. 
 
 26 If And Saul also went home *to Gibe- 
 ah ; and there went with him a 2I company 
 of men, whose hearts God had touched. 
 
 27 'But the "children of ^wickedness 
 said, How 23 can this man '"deliver us? 
 And they despised him, "and brought him 
 no presents. But ||he held his peace. 
 
 CHAPTER XI. 
 
 1 Nahash offereth them of Jabesh-gilead a reproachful 
 condition. 4 They send messengers, and are deli- 
 vered by Saul. 12 Saul thereby is confirmed, and 
 his kingdom renewed. 
 
 THEN "Nahash the Ammonite came up, 
 and encamped against 'Jabesh-gilead : 
 and all the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, 
 c Make a covenant with us, and we will 
 serve thee. 
 
 2 And Nahash the Ammonite answered 
 them, On this condition will I make a co- 
 venant with you, that I may 'bore out all 
 your right eyes, and lay it for d a reproach 
 upon all Israel. 
 
 3 And the elders of Jabesh said to him, 
 tGive us seven days respite, that we may 
 send messengers to all the ^regions of Is- 
 rael : and then, if there be no man to deli- 
 ver us, we will come out to thee. 
 
 4 If Then came the messengers 'to Gibeah 
 of Saul, and told the tidings in the ears of 
 the people : and -%nd all the people lifted 
 up their voices, and wept.

 He rcscueth Jabesh-gilead. 
 
 5 And behold, Saul came after the herd 
 out of the field ; and Saul said, What aileth 
 the people that they weep ? And they told 
 him the Svords of the men of Jabesh. 
 
 6 ? And the Spirit of God came upon Saul 
 when he heard those tidings, and his anger 
 was kindled greatly. 
 
 7 And he took a yoke of oxen, and *hewed 
 them in pieces, and sent them throughout 
 all the 5 regions of Israel by the hands of 
 messengers, saying, ' Whoever cometh 
 not forth after Saul and after Samuel, so 
 shall it be done to his oxen. And the fear 
 of Jehovah fell on the people, and they 
 came out twith one consent. 
 
 8 And when he numbered them in *Be- 
 zek, the children 'of Israel were three 
 hundred thousand, and the men of Judah 
 thirty thousand. 
 
 9 And they said to the messengers that 
 came, Thus shall ye say to the men of 
 Jabesh-gilead, To-morrow, by 6 the time 
 when the sun is hot, ye shall have 7 deli- 
 verance. And the messengers came and 
 shewed it to the men of Jabesh ; and they 
 were glad. 
 
 10 Therefore the men of Jabesh said, To- 
 morrow m we will come out to you, and ye 
 shall do with us all that seemeth good to 
 you. 
 
 11 And it was so on the morrow, that 
 "Saul put the people "in three companies ; 
 and they came into the midst of the host 
 in the morning- watch, and slew the Am- 
 monites until the heat of the day: and it 
 came to pass, that they who remained were 
 scattered, so that two of them were not 
 left together. 
 
 12 If And the people said to Samuel, 
 p Who is he that said, Shall Saul reign 
 over us? 'bring the men, that we may put 
 them to death. 
 
 13 And Saul said, 'There shall not a man 
 be put to death this day : for to-day 'Jeho- 
 vah hath wrought 8 deliverance in Israel. 
 
 14 Then said Samuel to the people, Come, 
 and let us go 'to Gilgal, and renew the 
 kingdom there. 
 
 15 And all the people went to Gilgal ; 
 and there they made Saul king "before Je- 
 hovah in Gilgal : and x there they sacrificed 
 sacrifices of 9 thank-offerings before Jeho- 
 vah; and there Saul and all the men of 
 Israel rejoiced greatly. 
 
 CHAPTER 'XII. 
 
 1 Samuel testifieth his integrity. 6 He reproveth the 
 people of ingratitude. 16 He terrifieth them with 
 thunder in harvest time. 20 He comforteth them 
 in God's mercy. 
 
 AND Samuel said to all Israel, Behold, 
 I have hearkened to "your voice in all 
 that ye said to me, and 'have made a king 
 over you. 
 
 2 And now, behold, the king c walketh 
 before you : d and I am old and gray-head- 
 ed; and behold, my sons are with you: 
 and I have walked before you from my 
 childhood to this day. 
 
 3 Behold, here I am: testify against me 
 before Jehovah, and before ^nis anointed ; 
 *whose ox have I taken ? or whose ass have 
 I taken ? or whom have I defrauded ? 
 whom have I oppressed ? or of whose hand 
 have I received any tbribe ||to "blind mine 
 eyes therewith? and I will restore it 'to' 
 you. 
 
 207 
 
Samuel lestifieth his integrity. 
 
 4 And they said, Thou hast not defrauded 
 us, nor oppressed us, neither hast thou ta- 
 ken 2 any thing from any man's hand. 
 
 5 And he said to them, Jehovah is ' a' 
 witness against you, and his anointed is ' a' 
 witness this day, "that ye have not found 
 3 any thing *in my hand. And they answer- 
 ed, He is ' a' witness. 
 
 6 1f And Samuel said to the people, u Yea, 
 Jehovah is witness, who appointed Moses 
 and Aaron, and that brought your fathers 
 up out of the land of Egypt. 
 
 7 Now therefore stand still, that I may 
 "reason with you before Jehovah Con- 
 cerning all the t 6 kind acts of Jehovah, 
 which he did tto you and to your fathers. 
 
 8 "When Jacob 7 had come into Egypt, 
 and your fathers "cried to Jehovah, then 
 Jehovah p sent Moses and Aaron, who 
 brought forth your fathers out of Egypt, 
 and made them dwell in this place. 
 
 9 And when they 'forgot Jehovah their 
 God, iie sold them into the hand of Sisera, 
 captain of the host of Hazor, and into the 
 hand of 'the Philistines, and into the hand 
 of the king 'of Moab, and they fought 
 against them. 
 
 10 And they cried to Jehovah, and said 
 "We have sinned, because we have for 
 saken Jehovah, x and have served Baalim 
 and Ashtaroth : but now ^deliver us out of 
 the hand of our enemies, and we will serve 
 thee. 
 
 11 And Jehovah sent z Jerubbaal, and 
 Bedan, and "Jephthah, and 'Samuel, and 
 delivered you out of the hand of your ene- 
 mies on every side, and ye dwelled 8 safely 
 
 12 And when ye saw that c Nahash the 
 king of the children of Ammon came 
 against you, ^ye said to me, Nay; but a 
 kmg shall reign over us : when 'Jehovah 
 your God was your king. 
 
 13 Now therefore, 'behold the king 6 whom 
 ye have chosen, and whom ye have de- 
 sired! and behold, ft Jehovah hath set a 
 king over you. 
 
 14 If ye will 'fear Jehovah, and serve 
 him, and obey his voice, and not rebel 
 against the tcommandment of Jehovah, 
 then shall both ye, and also the king that 
 reigneth over you, tcontinue following Je- 
 hovah your God. 
 
 15 But if ye will 'not obey the voice of 
 Jehovah, but rebel against the command- 
 ment of Jehovah, then shall the hand of 
 Jehovah be against you, 'as it was against 
 your fathers. 
 
 16 If Now therefore m stand and see this 
 great thing, which Jehovah will do before 
 your eyes. 
 
 17 Is it not "wheat-harvest to-day? "I 
 will call to Jehovah, and he shall send 
 thunder and rain; that ye may perceive 
 and see that p y° ur .wickedness is great, 
 which ye have done in the sight of Jeho- 
 vah, in asking you a king. 
 
 18 So Samuel called to Jehovah; and 
 Jehovah sent thunder and rain that day : 
 and «all the people greatly feared Jehovah 
 and Samuel. 
 
 19 And all the people said to Samuel, 
 r Pray for thy servants to Jehovah thy God, 
 that we die not : for we have added to all 
 our sins this evil, to ask us a king. 
 
 20 If And Samuel said to the people, 
 Fear not: ye have done all this wicked-

 CHAPTER XIII. 
 
 I Haul's selected band. 3 He calleth the Hebrews to 
 Gilgal against the Philistines, whose garrison 
 Jonathan had smitten. 5 The Philistines' great 
 host. 6 The distress of the Israelites. 8 Saul, 
 weary of staying for Samuel, sacrificeth. 1 1 Sa- 
 muel reproveth him. 17 The three spoiling bands 
 of the Philistines. 19 The policy of the Philis- 
 tines, to suffer no smith in Israel, 
 
 SAUL treigned one year ; and when he 
 had reigned two years over Israel, 
 
 2 Saul chose him three thousand men of 
 Israel; of which two thousand were with 
 Saul in Michmash and in mount Beth-el, 
 and a thousand were with Jonathan in 
 "Gibeah of Benjamin : and the rest of the 
 people he sent J each man to his tent. 
 
 3 And Jonathan smote 'the garrison of 
 the Philistines that was in ||Geba; and the 
 Philistines heard of it. And Saul blew 
 the trumpet throughout all the land, say- 
 ing, Let the Hebrews hear. 
 
 4 And all Israel heard 2 it said that Saul 
 had smitten 3 the garrison of the Philistines, 
 and that Israel also twas 4 abhorred among 
 the Philistines : and the people were call- 
 ed together after Saul to Gilgal. 
 
 5 If And the Philistines gathered them- 
 selves together to fight with Israel, thirty 
 thousand chariots, and six thousand horse- 
 men, and people as the sand which is on 
 the sea-shore 5 for multitude : and they 
 came up, and pitched in Michmash, east- 
 ward from Beth-aven. 
 
 6 When the men of Israel saw that they 
 were in a strait (for the people were dis- 
 tressed] then the people c did hide them- 
 selves in caves, and in thickets, and in 
 rocks, and in 6 watch-towers, and in pits. 
 
 7 And some of the Hebrews went over 
 Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead. As 
 for Saul, he was yet in Gilgal, and all the 
 people tfollowed him trembling. 
 
 8 \ d And he tarried seven days, accord- 
 ing to the set time that Samuel had ap- 
 pointed: but Samuel came not to Gilgal; 
 and the people were scattered from him. 
 
 9 And Saul said, Bring hither a burnt- 
 offering to me, and 'thank-offerings. And 
 he offered the burnt-offering. 
 
 10 And it came to pass, that as soon as 
 he had made an end of offering the burnt- 
 offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul 
 went out to meet him, that he might 8 bless 
 him. 
 
 II If And Samuel said, What hast thou 
 done? And Saul said, Because I saw that 
 
Samuel reproveth him. 
 
 the people were scattered from me, and 
 that thou earnest not within the days ap- 
 pointed, and that the Philistines gathered 
 themselves together at Michmash ; 
 
 12 Therefore said I, The Philistines will 
 come down now upon me to Gilgal, and I 
 have not tmade supplication to Jehovah : 
 I forced myself therefore, and offered a 
 burnt-offering. 
 
 13 And Samuel said to Saul, 'Thou hast 
 done foolishly : 'thou hast not kept the 
 commandment of Jehovah thy God, which 
 he commanded thee : for now would Jeho- 
 vah have established thy kingdom upon 
 Israel for ever. 
 
 14 fBut now thy kingdom shall not con- 
 tinue: Mehovah hath sought him a man 
 after his own heart, and Jehovah hath 
 commanded him to be 9 prince over his peo- 
 
 Sle, because thou hast not kept that which 
 ehovah commanded thee. 
 
 15 And Samuel arose, and "Vent up from 
 Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul 
 numbered the people that were tpresent 
 with him, 'about six hundred men. 
 
 16 And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and 
 the people that were present with them, 
 abode in tGibeah of Benjamin: but the 
 Philistines encamped in Michmash. 
 
 17 If And the spoilers came out of the 
 camp of the Philistines in three compa- 
 nies : one company turned to the way that 
 leadeth to 'Ophrah, to the land of Shual : 
 
 18 And another company turned the way 
 to 'Beth-horon : and another company turn- 
 ed to the way of the border that "looketh 
 towards the valley of ro Zeboim towards the 
 "waste region. 
 
 19 IT Now "there was no smith found 
 throughout all the land of Israel : (for the 
 Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make 
 them swords or spears :) 
 
 20 But all the Israelites went down to 
 the Philistines, to sharpen 13 each man his 
 share, and his coulter, and his axe, and his 
 mattock. 
 
 21 Yet they had ta file for the mattocks, 
 and for the coulters, and for the forks, and 
 for the axes, and tto sharpen the goads. 
 
 22 So it came to pass in the day of battle, 
 that there was neither sword nor spear 
 found in the hand of any of the people that 
 were with Saul and Jonathan: but with 
 Saul and with Jonathan his son was there 
 found. 
 
 23 p And the ((garrison of the Philistines 
 went out to the passage of Michmash. 
 
 CHAPTER XIV. 
 
 1 Jonathan, ^without the knowledge of his father, the 
 priest, or the people, goeth and miraculously smit- 
 eth the Philistines' garrison. 15 A divine terror 
 makeththern scatter themselves. 17 Saul, not staying 
 'for' the priest's answer, setteth on them. 21 The 
 captivated Hebrews, and the hidden Israelites, join 
 against them. 24 Saul's unadvised adjuration 
 hindereth the victory. 32 He restraineth the peo- 
 ple from eating blood. 35 He buildeth an altar. 
 36 Jonathan, taken by lot, is saved by the people. 
 47 Saul's strength and family. 
 
 NOW |]it came to pass upon a day, that 
 Jonathan the son of Saul said to the 
 young man that bore his armour, Come, 
 and let us go over to the Philistines' gar- 
 rison that is on the other side. But he told 
 not his father.

 of Eli, Jehovah's priest in Shiloh, ''wear-

 that Jonathan was gone. 
 
 4 If And between the passages by which 
 Jonathan sought to go over 'to the Phili- 
 stines' garrison, there teas a sharp rock on 
 the one side, and a sharp rock on the other 
 side : and the name of the one was Bozez, 
 and the name of the other Seneh. 
 
 5 The fpoint of the one was 3 a crag 
 northward over against Michmash, and the 
 other southward over against Gibeah. 
 
 6 And Jonathan said to the young man 
 that bore his armour, Come, and let us go 
 over to the garrison of these uncircumcis- 
 ed : it may be that Jehovah will work for 
 us: for there is no hindrance to Jehovah 
 'to Meliver by many or by few. 
 
 7 And his armour-bearer said to him, Do 
 all that is in thy heart: turn thee; behold, 
 I am with thee according to thy heart. 
 
 8 Then said Jonathan, Behold, we will 
 pass over to these men, and we will 6 shew 
 ourselves to them. 
 
 9 If they say thus to us, tTarry until we 
 come to you ; then we will stand still in 
 our place, and will not go up to them. 
 
 10 IJut if they say thus, Come up to us ; 
 then we will go up : for Jehovah hath de- 
 livered them into our hand; and "this shall 
 be 7 the sign 8 for us. 
 
 11 And both of them discovered them- 
 selves to the garrison of the Philistines : 
 and the Philistines said, Behold, the He- 
 brews come forth out of the holes where 
 they had hidden themselves. 
 
 12 And the men of the garrison 9 spoke to 
 Jonathan and his armour-bearer, and said, 
 Come up to us, and we will shew you a 
 thing. And Jonathan said to his armour- 
 bearer, Come up after me: for Jehovah 
 hath delivered them into the hand of Israel. 
 
 13 And Jonathan climbed up upon his 
 hands and upon his feet, and his armour- 
 bearer after him : and they fell before Jo- 
 nathan ; and his armour-bearer slew after 
 him. 
 
 14 And that first slaughter, which Jona- 
 than and his armour-bearer made, was 
 about twenty men, within as it were ||'in' 
 a half -acre of land, ivhich a yoke of oxen 
 might plough. 
 
 _ 15 And 'there was trembling in the host, 
 in the field, and among all the people: the 
 garrison, and Hhe spoilers, they also trem- 
 bled, and the earth quaked : so it was, fa 
 very great trembling. 
 
 16 And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah 
 of Benjamin looked ; and behold, the mul- 
 titude melted away, and they "went on 
 10 and were scattered. 
 
 17 Then said Saul to the people that were 
 with him, Number now, and see who is 
 gone from us. And when they had num- 
 bered, behold, Jonathan and his armour- 
 bearer were not there. 
 
 18 And Saul said to Ahiah, Bring hither 
 the ark of God. For the ark of God was 
 at that time with the children of Israel.

 was in the host of the Philistines went on,

 and increased ': and Saul said to the priest, 
 Withdraw thy hand. 
 
 20 And Saul and all the people that were 
 with him tassembled themselves, and they 
 came to the battle: and behold, ° 12 each 
 man's sword was against his fellow, and 
 there was a very great discomfiture. 
 
 21 Moreover, the Hebrews who were with 
 the Philistines before that time, who went 
 up with them into the camp from the coun 
 try round about, even they also turned to 
 be with the Israelites who were with Saul 
 and Jonathan. 
 
 22 Likewise all the men of Israel who 
 y had hidden themselves in mount Ephraim, 
 when they heard that the Philistines fled, 
 even they also followed hard after them 
 in the battle. 
 
 23 «So Jehovah "delivered Israel that day: 
 and the battle passed over 'to Beth-aven. 
 
 24 If And the men of Israel were dis- 
 tressed that day : for Saul had * M swom the 
 people, saying, Cursed be the man that 
 eateth 1S food until evening, that I may be 
 avenged on mine enemies. So none of 
 the people tasted 16 food. 
 
 25 'And all they of the land came to a 
 "forest; and there was "honey upon the 
 ground. 
 
 26 And when the people were come into 
 the 18 forest, behold, the honey dropped : 
 but no man put his hand to his mouth ; for 
 the people feared the oath. 
 
 27 But Jonathan heard not when his fa- 
 ther charged the people with the oath: 
 wherefore he put forth the end of the 
 J 9 staff that was in his hand, and dipped it 
 in 20 the dropping honey, and put his hand to 
 his mouth ; and his eyes were enlightened. 
 
 28 Then 21 spoke one of the people, and 
 said, Thy father ^strictly charged the peo- 
 ple with an oath, saying, Cursed be the 
 man that eateth M food this day. And the 
 people were ||faint. 
 
 29 Then said Jonathan, My father hath 
 troubled the land : see, I pray you, how 
 mine eyes have been enlightened, because 
 I tasted a little of this honey. 
 
 30 How much more, if haply the people 
 had eaten freely to-day of the spoil of their 
 enemies which they found ? for had there 
 not been now a much greater slaughter 
 among the Philistines ? 
 
 31 And they smote the Philistines that 
 day from Michmash to Aijalon : and the 
 people were very faint. 
 
 32 And the people 24 rushed 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. 
 
 33 f Then they told Saul, saying, Behold, 
 the people sin against Jehovah, 25 by eating 
 with the blood. And he said, Ye have 
 lltransgressed : roll a great stone to me 
 this day. 
 
 34 And Saul said, Disperse yourselves 
 among the people, and say to them, Bring 
 me hither M each man his ox, and ^each 
 man his sheep, and slay them 28 on this, and 
 eat ; and sin not against Jehovah M by eat- 
 ing with the blood. And all the people 
 brought 30 each man his ox twith him that 
 night, and slew them there. 
 
 35 And Saul *built an altar to Jehovah : 
 tthe same was the first altar that he built 
 to Jehovah :

 The people rescue Jonathan, 
 
 36 If And Saul said. Let us go down after 
 the Philistines by night, and spoil them 
 until the morning light, and let us not 
 leave a man of them. And they said, Do 
 whatever seemeth good to thee. Then 
 said the priest, Let us draw near hither to 
 God. 
 
 37 And Saul asked S5 of God, Shall I go 
 down after the Philistines ? wilt thou de- 
 liver them into the hand of Israel ? But 
 *he answered him not that day. 
 
 38 And Saul said, "Draw ye near hither 
 all the t^chiefs of the people: and know 
 and see wherein this sin hath been this day. 
 
 39 For b as Jehovah liveth, who ^deliver- 
 eth Israel, though it be in Jonathan my 
 son, he shall surely die. But 34 no man 
 among all the people ffi answered him. 
 
 40 Then said he to all Israel, Be ye on 
 one side, and I and Jonathan my son will 
 be on the other side. And the people said 
 to Saul, Do what seemeth good to thee. 
 
 41 Therefore Saul said to Jehovah God 
 of Israel, || c Give a perfect lot. d And Saul 
 and Jonathan were taken : but the people 
 tescaped. 
 
 42 And Saul said, Cast lots between me 
 and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was 
 taken. 
 
 43 Then Saul said to Jonathan, 'Tell me 
 what thou hast done. And Jonathan told 
 him, and said, } \ did but taste a little ho- 
 ney with the end of the ^staft* that was in 
 my hand, and lo, I must die. 
 
 44 And Saul answered, s God do so, and 
 more also : for thou shalt surely die, Jona- 
 than. 
 
 45 And the people said to Saul, Shall 
 Jonathan die, who hath wrought this great 
 57 deliverance in Israel? ^Far be it: 'as 
 Jehovah liveth, there shall not one hair of 
 his head fall to the ground ; for he hath 
 wrought with God this day. ^Thus the peo- 
 ple rescued Jonathan, ' so' thatlie died not. 
 
 46 Then Saul went up from following 
 the Philistines : and the Philistines went 
 to their own place. 
 
 47" If So Saul took the kingdom over Is- 
 rael, and fought against all his enemies on 
 every side, against Moab, and against the 
 children of *Ammon, and against Edom, 
 and against the kings of 'Zobah, and against 
 the Philistines : and whithersoever he 
 turned himself, he 40 annoyed them. 
 
 48 And he leathered a host, and "smote 
 the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out 
 of the hands of 4, those who spoiled them. 
 
 49 Now "the sons of Saul were Jonathan, 
 and Ishui, and Melchi-shua: and the 
 names of his two daughters were these; 
 the name of the first-born Merab, and the 
 name of the younger Michal : 
 
 50 And the name of Saul's wife was 
 Ahinoam, the daughter of Ahimaaz : and 
 the name of the captain of his host was 
 tAbner, the son of Ner, Saul's uncle. 
 
 51 "And Kish was the father of Saul ; 
 and Ner the father of Abner was the son 
 of Abiel. 
 
 52 And there was ^fierce war against the 
 Philistines all the days of Saul : and when 
 Saul saw any strong man, or any valiant 
 man, 'he took him to 44 himselfi 
 
 CHAPTER XV. 
 
 1 Samuel sendeth Saul to destroy Amalek. 6 Saul 
 favoureth the Kenites. 8 He spareth Agag and 
 
Saul sparing Agag, fyc, 
 
 the best of the spoil. 10 Samuel denounceth fo 
 Said, commending and exctising himself, God's 
 rejection of him for his disobedience. 24 Saul's 
 humiliation. 32 Samuel killeth Agag. 34 Sa- 
 muel and Saul part. 
 
 SAMUEL also said to Saul, "Jehovah 
 sent me to anoint thee l king over his 
 people, over Israel : now therefore hearken 
 thou to the voice of the words of Jeho- 
 vah. 
 
 2 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, I remem- 
 ber that which Amalek did to Israel, * 2 for 
 he laid wait for him in the way, when he 
 came up from Egypt. 
 
 3 Now go and smite Amalek, and 'ut- 
 terly destroy all that they have, and spare 
 them not ; but slay both man and woman, 
 infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel 
 and ass. 
 
 4 And Saul gathered the people together, 
 and numbered them in Telaim, two hun- 
 dred thousand footmen, and ten thousand 
 men of Judah. 
 
 5 And Saul came to a city of Amalek, 
 and laid an ambush in the valley. 
 
 6 IT And Saul said to *the Kenites, 'Go, 
 depart, 4 go down from among the Amalek- 
 ites, lest I destroy you with them: for 
 f ye shewed kindness to all the children of 
 Israel when they came up out of Egypt. 
 So the Kenites depai'ted from among the 
 Amalekites. 
 
 7 *And Saul smote the Amalekites from 
 ft Havilah, until thou comest to 'Shur, that 
 is over against Egypt. 
 
 8 And *he took. Agag the king of the 
 Amalekites alive, and 'utterly destroyed 
 all the people with the edge of the sword. 
 
 9 But Saul and the people ""spared Agag, 
 and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, 
 and ||of the fatlings, and the lambs, and 
 all that was good, and would not utterly 
 destroy them: but every thing that was 
 vile and 'diseased, that they destroyed ut- 
 terly. 
 
 10 If Then came the word of Jehovah to 
 Samuel, saying, 
 
 11 "It repenteth me that I have set up 
 Saul to be king : for he 6 hath "turned back 
 from following me, p and hath not perform- 
 ed my commandments. And it 'grieved 
 Samuel ; and he cried to Jehovah all night. 
 
 12 And when Samuel rose early to meet 
 Saul in the morning, it was told Samuel, 
 saying, Saul came to r Carmel, and behold, 
 he set him up a 7 trophy, and is gone about, 
 and passed on, and gone down to Gilgal. 
 
 13 And Samuel came to Saul : and Saul 
 said to him, 'Blessed be thou of Jehovah : 
 I have performed the commandment of 
 Jehovah. 
 
 14 And Samuel said, What meaneth then 
 this bleating of the sheep in 8 my hearing, 
 and the lowing of the oxen which I hear ? 
 
 15 And Saul said, They have brought 
 them from the Amalekites : 'for the people 
 spared the best of the sheep and of the 
 oxen, to sacrifice to Jehovah thy God 
 and the rest we have utterly destroyed. 
 
 16 Then Samuel said to Saul, Stay, and 
 I will tell thee what Jehovah hath said to 
 me this night. And he said to him, Say on 
 
 17 And Samuel said, "When thou wast 
 little in thine own sight, wast thou not 
 made the head of the tribes of Israel, and 
 Jehovah anointed thee king over Israel ?

 is rejected for disobedience. 
 
 18 And Jehovah sent thee on a journey, 
 and said, Go, and utterly destroy the sin- 
 ners the Amalekites, and fight against 
 them until tthey 9 are consumed. 
 
 19 Wherefore then didst thou not obey 
 the voice of Jehovah, but didst 10 rush upon 
 the spoil, and didst evil in the sight of Je- 
 hovah ? 
 
 20 And Saul said to Samuel, Yea, r I have 
 obeyed the voice of Jehovah, and have 
 gone the "journey which Jehovah sent me, 
 and have brought Agag the king of Ama- 
 lek, and have utterly destroyed the Ama- 
 lekites. 
 
 21 »But the people took of the spoil, 
 sheep and oxen, the chief of the things, 
 which should have been utterly destroyed, 
 to sacrifice to Jehovah thy God in Gilgal. 
 
 22 And Samuel said, 'Hath Jehovah as 
 great delight in burnt-offerings and sacri- 
 fices, as in obeying the voice of Jehovah ? 
 Behold, "to obey is better than sacrifice, 
 and to hearken than the fat of rams. 
 
 23 For rebellion is Hike the sin of 13 di- 
 vination, and stubbornness is as iniquity 
 and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected 
 the word of Jehovah, 6 he hath also reject- 
 ed thee from being king. 
 
 24 1f c And Saul said to Samuel, I have 
 sinned : for I have transgressed the com- 
 mandment of Jehovah, and thy words : 
 because I ''feared the people, and obeyed 
 their voice. 
 
 25 Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon 
 my sin, and turn again with me, that I may 
 worship Jehovah. 
 
 26 And Samuel said to Saul, I will not 
 M turn again with thee : 'for thou hast reject- 
 ed the word of Jehovah, and Jehovah 
 hath rejected thee from being king over 
 Israel. 
 
 27 And as Samuel turned about to go 
 away, / he laid hold upon the skirt of his 
 mantle, and it rent. 
 
 28 And Samuel said to him, ^Jehovah 
 hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee 
 this day, and hath given it to a neighbour 
 of thine that is better than thou. 
 
 29 ,s Now also the || 16 Glory of Israel ft will 
 not lie nor repent : for he is not a man, 
 that he should repent. 
 
 30 Then he said, I have sinned : yet 'ho- 
 nour me now, I pray thee, before the elders 
 of my people, and before Israel, and turn 
 again with me, that I may worship Jeho- 
 vah thy God. 
 
 31 So Samuel turned again after Saul ; 
 and Saul worshipped Jehovah. 
 
 32 «[f Then said Samuel, Bring ye hither 
 to me Agag the king of the Amalekites. 
 And Agag came to him "cheerfully. And 
 Agag said, Surely the bitterness of death 
 17 hath departed. 
 
 33 And Samuel said, *As thy sword hath 
 made women childless, so shall thy mother 
 be childless among women. And Samuel 
 hewed Agag in pieces before Jehovah in 
 Gilgal. 
 
 34 If Then Samuel went to Ramah ; and 
 Saul went up to his house to 'Gibeah of 
 Saul. 
 
 35 And "Samuel came no more to see Saul 
 until the day of his death: nevertheless 
 Samuel "mourned for Saul : and Jehovah 
 "repented that he had made Saul king over 
 Israel. 
 
 211 
 
Samuel anointeth David. 
 
 CHAPTER XVI. 
 
 1 Samuel sent by God, under pretence of a sacrifice, 
 cometh to Belh-lehcm. 6 His human judgment is 
 reproved. 11 He anointeth David. 15 Saul sendeth 
 for David to quiet his evil spirit. 
 
 AND Jehovah said to Samuel, "How 
 long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing, 
 1 have rejected him from reigning over 
 Israel? 'fill thy horn with oil, and go, I 
 will send thee to Jesse the Beth-lehemite : 
 for "*! have provided me a king among his 
 sons. 
 
 2 And Samuel said, How can I go? if 
 Saul hear it, he will kill me. And Jeho- 
 vah said, Take a heifer twith thee, and 
 say, 'I am come to sacrifice to Jehovah. 
 
 3 And call Jesse to the sacrifice, and 'I 
 will shew thee what thou shalt do: and 
 'thou shalt anoint 'for me him whom I 
 name to thee. 
 
 4 And Samuel did that which Jehovah 
 'said, and came to Beth-lehem. And the 
 elders of the town "trembled at his tcom- 
 ing, and said, 'Comest thou peaceably ? 
 
 5 And he said, Peaceably : I am come to 
 sacrifice to Jehovah : 'sanctify yourselves, 
 and come with me to the sacrifice. And 
 he sanctified Jesse and his sons, and called 
 them to the sacrifice. 
 
 6 11 And it came to pass when they were 
 come, that he looked on 'Eliab, and m said, 
 Surely Jehovah's anointed is before him. 
 
 7 But Jehovah said to Samuel, Look not 
 on "his 3 appearance, or on the height of his 
 stature ; because I have refused mm : "for 
 JEHO VAH seeth not as man seeth ; for 
 man p looketh on the fcountenance, but 
 Jehovah looketh on the 'heart. 
 
 8 Then Jesse called r Abinadab, and made 
 him pass before Samuel. And he said, 
 Neither hath Jehovah chosen this ' one.' 
 
 9 Then Jesse made 'HShammah to pass 
 by. And he said, Neither hath Jehovah 
 chosen this ' one.' 
 
 10 Again, Jesse made seven of his sons 
 to pass before Samuel. And Samuel said 
 to Jesse, Jehovah hath not chosen these. 
 
 11 And Samuel said to Jesse, Are here 
 all thy children ? And he said, 'There re- 
 maineth yet the youngest, and behold, he 
 keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said to 
 Jesse, "Send and 6 bring him : for we will 
 not sit tdown till he come hither. _ 
 
 12 And he sent, and brought him in. Now 
 he was x ruddy, and withal tof a beautiful 
 countenance, and 6 fair in appearance. "And 
 Jehovah said, Arise, anoint him : for this 
 is he. 
 
 13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and 
 'anointed him in the - midst of his brethren : 
 and "the Spirit of Jehovah came upon 
 David from that day forward. So Samuel 
 rose up, and went to Ramah. 
 
 14 U 'But the Spirit of Jehovah departed 
 from Saul, and 'an evil spirit from Jehovah 
 |] 7 suddenly seized him. 
 
 15 And Saul's servants said to him, Be- 
 hold now, an evil spirit from God Sudden- 
 ly seizeth thee. 
 
 16 Let our lord now command thy ser- 
 vants, who are ''before thee, to seek out 
 a man who is a 9 skilful player on a harp : 
 and it shall come to pass, when the evil 
 spirit from God is upon thee, that he shall 
 •play with his hand, and thou shalt be well. 
 
 17 And Saul said to his servants, Provide

 18 Then answered one of the servants, 
 and said, Behold, I have seen a son of 
 Jesse the Beth-lehemite, that is '"skilful in 
 playing, and 'a mighty valiant man, and a 
 man ot war, and prudent in ||matters, and 
 a comely person, and 'Jehovah is with him. 
 
 19 ^ Wherefore Saul sent messengers to 
 Jesse, and said, Send me David thy son, 
 *who is with the sheep. 
 
 20 And Jesse *took an ass laden with 
 bread, and a ' leathern' bottle of wine, and 
 a kid, and sentthem by David his son to Saul. 
 
 21 And David came to Saul, and *stood 
 before him : and he loved him greatly; and 
 he became his armour-bearer. 
 
 22 And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let 
 David, I pray thee, stand before me ; for 
 he hath found favour in my sight. 
 
 23 And it came to pass, when 'the evil 
 spirit from God was upon Saul, that David 
 took a harp, and played with his hand : so 
 Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the 
 evil spirit departed from him. 
 
 CHAPTER XVII. 
 
 1 The armies of the Israelites and Philistines being 
 ready to battle, 4 Goliath cometh proudly forth to 
 challenge a combat. 12 David, sent by his father 
 to visit his brethren, taketh the challenge. 28 Eliab 
 chideth him. 30 He is brought to Saul. 32 He 
 sheweth the reason of his confidence. 38 Without 
 armour, armed by faith, he slayeth the giant. 55 
 Saul taketh notice of David. 
 
 NOW the Philistines "gathered together 
 their armies to battle, and were ga- 
 thered together at 'Shochoh, which belong- 
 eth to Judah, and pitched between Shochoh 
 and Azekah, in |]Ephes-dammim. 
 
 2 And Saul and the men of Israel were 
 gathered together, and pitched by the valley 
 of Elah, and tset the battle in array against 
 the Philistines. 
 
 3 And the Philistines stood on a moun-^ 
 tain on the one side, and Israel stood on 
 a mountain on the other side : and there 
 was a valley between them. 
 
 4 If And there went out a champion out 
 of the 'camps of the Philistines, named 
 'Goliath, of d Gath, whose height was six 
 cubits and a span. 
 
 5 And he had a helmet of brass upon his 
 head, and he was farmed with a ' scaly'- 
 coat of mail ; and the weight of the coat 
 ' of mail' was five thousand shekels of brass. 
 
 6 And he had greaves of brass upon his 
 legs, and a || 2 javelin of brass 8 at his back. 
 
 7 And the 'staff of his spear was like a 
 weaver's beam; and his spear's 4 blade 
 weighed six hundred shekels of iron: and 
 one bearing a shield went before him. 
 
 8 And he stood and cried to the armies 
 of Israel, and said to them, Why are ye 
 come out to set your battle in array ? am 
 not I a Philistine, and ye 'servants to Saul ? 
 choose yourselves a man for you, and let 
 him come down to me. 
 
 9 If he be able to fight with me, and to 
 kill me, then will we be your servants : but 
 if I prevail against him, and kill him, then 
 shall ye be our servants, and 'serve us. 
 
 10 And the Philistine said, I "defy the 
 armies of Israel this day ; give me a man, 
 that we may fight together. 
 
 11 When Saul and all Israel heard those 
 words of the Philistine, they were dis- 
 mayed, and greatly afraid. 
 
David hearetk the challenge, 
 
 12 If Now David was 'the son of that 
 MEphrathite of Beth-lehem-judah, whose 
 name was Jesse ; and he had 'eight sons : 
 and the man went among men for an old 
 man in the days of Saul. 
 
 13 And the three eldest sons of Jesse 
 went and followed Saul to the battle : and 
 the "names of his three sons that went to 
 the battle wereEliab the first-born, and next 
 to him Abinadab, and the third Shammah. 
 
 14 And David was the youngest: and 
 the three eldest followed Saul. 
 
 15 But David 5 had gone and returned 
 from Saul "to feed his father's sheep at 
 Beth-lehem. 
 
 16 And the Philistine drew near morn- 
 ing and evening, and presented himself 
 forty days. 
 
 17 And Jesse said to David his son, Take 
 now for thy brethren an ephah of this 
 parched e grain, and these ten loaves, and 
 run to the camp to thy brethren : 
 
 18 And carry these ten t 'slices of cheese 
 to the tcaptain of their thousand, and "look 
 how thy brethren fare, and 8 bring from 
 them their token. 
 
 19 Now Saul, and they, and all the men 
 of Israel, were in the valley of Elah, fight- 
 ing with the Philistines. 
 
 20 \ And David rose up early in the 
 morning, and left the sheep with a keeper, 
 and took, and went, as Jesse had com- 
 manded him; and he came to the 9 wagon- 
 bulwark, as the host was going forth to the 
 || fight, and shouted for the battle, 
 
 21 For Israel and the Philistines had put 
 the battle in array, army against army. 
 
 22 And David left this "baggage in the 
 hand of the keeper of the "baggage, and 
 ran into the army, and came and t I2 asked 
 his brethren concerning their welfare. 
 
 23 And as he talked with them, behold, 
 there came up the champion, the Philis- 
 tine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the 
 armies of the Philistines, and spoke 'ac- 
 cording to the same words: and David 
 heard them. 
 
 24 And all the men of Israel, when they 
 saw the man, fled tfrom him, and were 
 13 greatly afraid. 
 
 25 And the men of Israel said, Have ye 
 seen this man that is come up ? surely to 
 defy Israel is he come up : and it shall be, 
 that the man who killeth him, the king 
 will enrich him with great riches, and 'will 
 
 five him his daughter, and make his father's 
 ouse free in Israel. 
 
 26 And David spoke to the men that 
 stood by him, saying, What shall be done 
 to the man that killeth this Philistine, and 
 taketh away the reproach from Israel ? 
 for who is this 'uncircumcised Philistine, 
 that he should 'defy the armies of "the liv- 
 ing God ? 
 
 27 And the people answered him after 
 this manner, saying, *So shall it be done 
 to the man that killeth him. 
 
 28 If And Eliab his eldest brother heard 
 when he spoke to the men; and Eliab's 
 "anger was kindled against David, and he 
 said, Why earnest thou down hither ? and 
 with whom hast thou left those few sheep 
 in the "waste region ? I know thy pride, 
 and the 15 wickedness of thy heart; for 
 thou art come down that thou mightest see 
 the battle.

 29 And David said, What have I now 
 done ? z Is there not a cause ? 
 
 30 If And he turned from him towards 
 another, and "spoke after the same tman- 
 ner : and the people answered him again 
 after the former manner. 
 
 31 And when the words were heard 
 which David spoke, they rehearsed them 
 before Saul : and he tsent for him. 
 
 32 IT And David said to Saul, "Let no 
 man's heart fail because of him ; thy ser- 
 vant will go and fight with this Philistine. 
 
 33 And Saul said to David, d Thou art not 
 able to go against this Philistine to fight 
 with him : for thou avt but a youth, and he 
 a man of war from his youth. 
 
 34 And David said to Saul, Thy servant 
 kept his father's sheep, and there came a 
 lion, and a bear, and took a ||lamb out of 
 the flock: 
 
 35 And I went out after him and smote 
 him, and delivered it out of his mouth : 
 and when he arose against me, I caught 
 him by his beard, and smote him, and 
 slew him. 
 
 36 Thy servant slew both the lion and 
 the bear : and this uncircumcised Philis- 
 tine shall be ,6 like one of them, seeing he 
 hath defied the armies of the living God. 
 
 37 David said moreover, "Jehovah that 
 delivered me "from the paw of the lion, 
 and I8 from the paw of the bear, he will de- 
 liver me I9 from the hand of this Philistine. 
 And Saul said to David, Go, and s Jeho- 
 vah be with thee. 
 
 38 If And Saul farmed David with his 
 armour, 20 for he put a helmet of brass upon 
 his head ; also he ^clothed him with a coat 
 of mail. 
 
 39 And David girded his sword upon his 
 armour, and he ^attempted to go; for 
 he had not proved if. And David said to 
 Saul, I cannot go with these, for I have 
 not proved them. And David put them off" 
 ' from' him. 
 
 40 And he took his staff in his hand, and 
 chose himself five smooth stones out of the 
 llbrook and put them in a shepherd's tbag 
 which he had, even in a ^pouch ; and his 
 sling was in his hand : and he drew near 
 to the Philistine. 
 
 41 And the Philistine came on, and drew 
 near to David ; arid the man that bore the 
 shield went before him. 
 
 42 And when the Philistine looked about, 
 and saw David, he ^disdained him : for he 
 was but a youth, and *ruddy, and of a fair 
 countenance. 
 
 43 And the Philistine said to David, *Am 
 I a dog, that thou comest to me with 
 staves? and the Philistine cursed "David 
 by his gods. 
 
 44 And the Philistine *said to David, 
 Come to me, and I will give thy flesh to 
 the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of 
 the field. 
 
 45 Then said David to the Philistine, 
 Thou comest to me with a sword, and 
 with a spear, and with a ^javelin : 'but I 
 come to thee in the name of Jehovah of 
 hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, 
 whom thou hast "defied. 
 
 46 This day will Jehovah tdeliver thee 
 into my hand ; and I will smite thee, and 
 take thy head from thee ; and I will give 
 "the carcasses of the host of the Philis- 
 
 213 
 
David slayeth the Philistine. 
 
 tines this day to the fowls of the air, and 
 to the wild beasts of the earth : "that all 
 the earth may know that there is a God in 
 Israel. 
 
 47 And all this assembly shall know that 
 Jehovah ''saveth not with sword and 
 spear : for «the battle is Jehovah's, and he 
 will give you into our hands. 
 
 48 And it came to pass, when the Philis- 
 tine arose, and came and drew nigh to 
 meet David, that David hasted, and ran 
 towards the army to meet the Philistine. 
 
 49 And David put his hand in his bag, 
 and took thence a stone, and slung it, and 
 smote the Philistine in his forehead, that 
 the stone sunk into his forehead ; and he 
 fell upon his face to the earth. 
 
 50 So /David prevailed over the Philis- 
 tine with a sling and with a stone, and 
 smote the Philistine and slew him; but 
 there was no sword in the hand of David. 
 
 51 25 And David ran and stood upon the 
 Philistine, and took his sword, and drew 
 it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, 
 and cut off his head therewith. And when 
 the Philistines saw 'that' their champion 
 was dead, 'they fled. 
 
 52 And the men of Israel and of Judah 
 arose, and shouted, and pursued the Phi- 
 listines, until thou comest to the valley, 
 and to the gates of Ekron. And the wound- 
 ed of the Philistines fell down by the way 
 to 'Shaaraim, even to Gath, and to Ekron. 
 
 53 And the children of Israel returned 
 from chasing after the Philistines, and they 
 spoiled their 26 camps. 
 
 54 And David took the head of the Phi- 
 listine, and brought it to Jerusalem ; but 
 he put his armour in his tent. 
 
 55 ^[ And when Saul saw David go forth 
 against the Philistine, he said to Abner the 
 captain of the host, Abner, "whose son is 
 this youth? And Abner said, As 27 thou 
 livest, king, I cannot tell. 
 
 56 And the King said, Inquire thou whose 
 son the 28 youth is. 
 
 57 And as David returned from the 
 slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took 
 him, and brought him before Saul "with 
 the head of the Philistine in his hand. 
 
 58 And Saul said to him, Whose son art 
 thou, 29 young man ? And David answer- 
 ed, * 30 The t son of thy servant Jesse the 
 Beth-lehemite. 
 
 CHAPTER XVIII. 
 
 1 Jonathan loveth David. 5 Saul envieth his praise, 
 10 seeketh to kill him in his fury, 12 feareth him 
 for his good success, 17 offer eth him his daughters 
 for a snare. 22 David persuaded to be the king's 
 son-in-law, giveth two hundred foreskins of the 
 Philistines for Michal's dowry. 28 Saul's hatred, 
 and David's glory increaseth. 
 
 AND it came to pass, when he had made 
 an end of speaking to Saul, that "the 
 soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of 
 David, 'and Jonathan loved him" as his own 
 soul. 
 
 2 And Saul took him that day, 'and 
 would let him go no more home to his fa- 
 ther's house. 
 
 S Then Jonathan and David made a 
 covenant, because he loved him as his 
 own soul. 
 
 4 And Jonathan stripped himself of the 
 robe that was upon him, and gave it to 
 David, and his garments, even to his sword, 
 and to his bow, and to his girdle.

 Saul' 8 jealousy and hatred of him. 
 
 5 If And David went out whithersoever 
 Saul sent him, and ||behaved himself wise- 
 ly : and Saul set him over the men of war, 
 and he was accepted in the sight of all the 
 people, and also in the sight of Saul's ser- 
 vants. 
 
 6 And it came to pass as they came, when 
 David 'had returned from the slaughter of 
 the ||Philistine, that "the women came out 
 of all the cities of Israel, singing and 
 dancing, to meet king Saul, with tabrets, 
 with joy, and with 2 musical triangles. 
 
 7 And the women 'answered one another 
 as they played, and said, 'Saul hath slain 
 his thousands, and David his ten thou- 
 sands. 
 
 8 And Saul was very 'angry, and the 
 saying t e displeased him; andhesaid, They 
 have ascribed to David ten thousands, and 
 to me they have ascribed but thousands : 
 and what can he have more but 'the king- 
 dom? 
 
 9 And Saul eyed David from that day 
 and forward. 
 
 10 If And it came to pass on the morrow, 
 that the 'evil spirit from God came upon 
 Saul, *and he prophesied in the midst of 
 the house : and David played with his 
 hand, as at other times :- ! and there was a 
 4 spear in Saul's hand. 
 
 11 And Saul "cast the 5 spear ; for he said, 
 I will smite David even to the wall with 
 it. And David 6 turned from his presence 
 twice. 
 
 12 If And Saul was "afraid of David, be- 
 cause "Jehovah was with him, and was 
 ^departed from Saul. 
 
 15 Therefore Saul removed him from nim, 
 and made him his captain over a thousand; 
 and 'lie went out and came in before the 
 people. 
 
 14 And David ||behaved himself wisely in 
 all his ways ; 'for 'Jehovah was with him. 
 
 15 Wherefore when Saul saw that he be- 
 haved himself very wisely, he was afraid 
 of him. 
 
 16 But "all Israel and Judah loved David, 
 because he went out and came in before 
 them. 
 
 17 If And Saul said to David, Behold, my 
 elder daughter Merab, 'her will I give thee 
 8 for a wife : only be thou tvaliant for me, 
 and fight "Jehovah's battles. For Saul 
 thought, *Let not my hand be upon him, 
 but let the hand of the Philistines be upon 
 him. 
 
 18 And David said to Saul, »Who cm I? 
 and what is my life, or my father's family 
 in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to 
 the king ? 
 
 19 But it came to pass at the time when 
 Merab, Saul's daughter, should have been 
 given to David, that she was given to 
 Adriel the "Meholathite 10 for a wife. 
 
 20 *And Michal, Saul's daughter, loved 
 David : and they told Saul, and the tiling 
 tpleased him. 
 
 21 And Saul said, I will give him her, 
 that she may be a 'snare to nim, and that 
 'the hand of the Philistines may be against 
 him. Wherefore Saul said to David, Thou 
 shalt this day be my son-in-law, "by one 
 of the two. 
 
 22 ^f And Saul commanded his servants, 
 saying, "Talk with David secretly, and 
 say, Behold, the king hath delight in thee, 
 
Miclial given to David for a wife. CHAPTERS XIX. XX. Michal saveth him from her father. 
 
 and all his servants love thee : now there- 
 fore be the king's son-in-law. 
 
 23 And Saul's servants spoke those words 
 in the ears of David. And David said, 
 Seemeth it to you a light thing to be a 
 king's son-in-law, seeing that I am a poor 
 man, and lightly esteemed ? 
 
 24 And the servants of Saul told him, 
 saying, t u In this manner spoke David. 
 
 25 And Saul said, Thus shall ye say to 
 David, The king desireth not any f dowry, 
 but a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, 
 to be 'avenged of the king's enemies. But 
 Saul ^thought to make David fall by the 
 hand of the Philistines. 
 
 26 And when his servants told David 
 these words, it pleased David well to be 
 the king's son-in-law : and 'the days were 
 not texpired. 
 
 27 Wherefore David arose and went, he 
 and *his men, and slew of the Philistines 
 two hundred men; and 'David brought 
 their foreskins, and they gave them in full 
 "amount to the king, that he might be the 
 king's son-in-law. And Saul gave him 
 Michal his daughter 14 for a wife. 
 
 28 If And Saul saw and knew that Jeho- 
 vah was with David, and that Michal, 
 Saul's daughter, loved him. 
 
 29 And Saul was yet the more afraid of 
 David ; and Saul '*hated David continually. 
 
 30 Then the princes of the Philistines 
 m went forth : and it came to pass, I6 as often 
 as they went forth, that David "behaved 
 himself more wisely than all the servants 
 of Saul : so that his name was much t "es- 
 teemed. 
 
 CHAPTER XIX. 
 
 1 Jonathan discloseth his father's purpose to kill Da- 
 vid. 4 Hepersuadeth his father to reconciliation. 
 8 By reason of David's good success in a new war, 
 Saul's malicious rage breaketh out against him. 
 12 Michal deceiveth her father with, an image in 
 David's bed. 18 David cometh to Samuel inNaioth. 
 20 Saul's messengers sent to take David, 22 and 
 Saul himself, prophesy. 
 
 AND Saul spoke to Jonathan his son, 
 and to all his servants, that they should 
 kill David. 
 
 2 But Jonathan, Saul's son, "delighted 
 much in David : and Jonathan told David, 
 saying, Saul my father seeketh to kill thee : 
 now therefore, I pray thee, take heed to 
 thyself until the morning, and abide in a 
 secret place, and hide thyself : 
 
 3 And I will go out and stand beside my 
 father in the field where thou art, and I 
 will 'talk with my father Concerning thee ; 
 and what I see, that I will tell thee. 
 
 4 If And Jonathan 6 spoke good of -David 
 to Saul his father, and said to him, Let not 
 the king c sin against his servant, against 
 David ; because he hath not sinned against 
 thee, and because his works have been very 
 good ' towards thee :' 
 
 5 For he did put his ''life in his hand, and 
 'slew the Philistine, and 'Jehovah wrought 
 a great "deliverance for all Israel : thou 
 sawest it, and didst rejoice: 'wherefore 
 then wilt thou A sin against innocent blood, 
 to 9lay David without a cause ? 
 
 6 And Saul hearkened to the voice of 
 Jonathan: and Saul swore, Jis Jehovah 
 liveth, he shall not be slain. 
 
 7 And Jonathan called David, and Jo- 
 nathan shewed him all those things. And

 Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he 
 was in his presence, 'as tin times past. 
 
 8 1f And there was war again : and Da- 
 vid went out, and fought with the Philis- 
 tines, and slew them with a great slaughter; 
 and they fled from thim. 
 
 9 And *the evil spirit from Jehovah was 
 upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his 
 4 spear in his hand: and David played with 
 his hand. 
 
 10 And Saul sought to smite David even 
 to the wall with the 5 spear; but he slipped 
 away out of Saul's presence, and he smote 
 the "spear into the wall : and David fled, 
 and escaped that night. 
 
 11 'Saul also sent messengers to David's 
 house, to watch him, and to slay him in the 
 morning; and Michal, David's wife, told 
 him, saying, If thou save not thy life to- 
 night, to-morrow thou 7 wilt be slain. 
 
 12 f So Michal m let David down through 
 a window: and he went, and fled, and 
 escaped. 
 
 13 And Michal took an timage, and laid 
 it in the bed, and put a 8 mattrass of goats' 
 hair for his bolster, and covered it with a 
 cloth. 
 
 14 And when Saul sent messengers to 
 take David, she said, He is sick. 
 
 15 And Saul sent the messengers again 
 to see David, saying, Bring him up to me 
 in the bed, that I may slay him. 
 
 16 And when the messengers were come 
 in, behold, there was an image in the bed, 
 with a 9 mattrass of goats' hair for its bolster. 
 
 17 And Saul said to Michal, Why hast 
 thou deceived me so, and sent away mine 
 enemy, that he is escaped? And Michal 
 answered Saul , He said to me, Let me go ; 
 "why should I kill thee ? 
 
 18 1 So David fled, and escaped, and 
 came to Samuel to Ramah, and told him 
 all that Saul had done to him. And he and 
 Samuel went and dwelt in Naioth. 
 
 19 And it was told Saul, saying, Behold, 
 David is at Naioth in Ramah. 
 
 20 And "Saul sent messengers to take 
 David : p and when they saw the company 
 of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel 
 standing as appointed over them, the Spi- 
 rit of God was upon the messengers of 
 Saul, and they also 'prophesied. 
 
 21 And when it was told Saul, he sent 
 other messengers, and they prophesied 
 likewise. And Saul sent messengers again 
 the third time, and they prophesied also. 
 
 22 Then went he also to Ramah, and 
 came to a great |°pit that is in Sechu : and 
 he asked and said, Where are Samuel and 
 David? And one said, Behold, they "are 
 at Naioth in Ramah. 
 
 23 And he went thither to Naioth in Ra- 
 mah: and r the Spirit of God was upon 
 him also, and he went on, and prophesied, 
 until he came to Naioth in Ramah. 
 
 24 'And he stripped off his clothes also, 
 and prophesied before Samuel in like man- 
 ner, and tlay down 'naked all that day and 
 all that night. "Wherefore they say, "Is 
 Saul also among the prophets ?

 David, seeketh to kill Jonathan. 35 Jonathan lov-

Covenant of David and Jonathan. 
 
 AND David fled from Naioth in Ramah, 
 and came and said before Jonathan, 
 What have I done ? what is mine iniquity ? 
 and what is my sin before thy father, that 
 he seeketh my life ? 
 
 2 And he said to him, 'Far be it ; thou 
 shalt not die: behold, my father will do 
 nothing either great or small, but that he 
 will tshew it ' to' me : and why should my 
 father hide this thing from me ? it is not so. 
 
 3 And David swore moreover, and said, 
 Thy father certainly knoweth that I have 
 found 2 favour in thy sight ; and he saith, 
 Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be 
 grieved : But truly as Jehovah liveth, and 
 as 3 thou livest, there is but a step between 
 me and death. 
 
 4 Then said Jonathan to David, || What- 
 ever 4 thou t sayest, I will even do it for 
 thee. 
 
 5 And David said to Jonathan, Behold, 
 to-morrow is the "new moon, and I should 
 6 surely sit with the king 6 to eat : but let me 
 go, that I may 'hide myself in the field to 
 the third day at 'evening. 
 
 6 If thy father at all miss me, then say, 
 David earnestly asked leave of me, that 
 he might run c to Beth-lehem his city : for 
 there is a yearly [|sacrifice there for all the 
 family. 
 
 7 ''It he say thus, It is well ; thy servant 
 shall have peace : but if he be very 8 angry, 
 then be sure that 'evil is. 9 preparea by him. 
 
 8 Therefore thou shalt 'deal kindly with 
 thy servant; for *thou hast brought thy 
 servant into a covenant of Jehovah with 
 thee : notwithstanding, 'if there be in me 
 iniquity slay me thyself; for why should- 
 est thou bring me to thy father ? 
 
 9 And Jonathan said, Far be it from thee : 
 for if I knew certainly that evil were I0 pre- 
 pared by my father to come upon thee, 
 then would not I tell it thee? 
 
 10 Then said David to Jonathan, Who 
 shall tell me ? or what if thy father an- 
 swer thee roughly ? 
 
 11 If And Jonathan said to David, Come, 
 and let us go out into the field. And they 
 went out both of them into the field. 
 
 12 And Jonathan said to David, Jeho- 
 vah God of Israel, when I have "searched 
 my father about to-morrow any time, or 
 the third day, and behold, if there be good 
 towards David, and I then send not to thee, 
 and tshew it thee ; 
 
 13 *Jehovah do so and much more to 
 Jonathan ; but if it please my father to do 
 thee evil, then I will shew it thee, and 
 send thee away, that thou mayest go in 
 
 Eeace : and 'Jehovah be with thee, as he 
 ath been with my father. 
 
 14 And thou shalt not only while yet I 
 live shew me the kindness of Jehovah, 
 that I die not : 
 
 15 But also 'thou shalt not cut off thy 
 kindness from my house for ever : no, not 
 when Jehovah hath cut off the enemies of 
 David every one from the face of the earth. 
 
 16 So Jonathan tmade a covenant with the 
 house of David, saying, m Let Jehovah 
 even require it at the hand of David's 
 enemies. 
 
 17 And Jonathan caused David to swear 
 again, Jlbecause he loved him : "for he 
 loved him as he loved his own soul. 
 
 18 Then Jonathan said to David, °To-

 side thereof, as though I shot at a mark. 
 
 21 And behold, I will send a lad, saying, 
 Go, find out the arrows. If I expressly 
 say to the lad, Behold, the arrows are on 
 this side of thee, take them ; then come 
 thou : for there is peace to thee, and tno

 Behold, the arrows are beyond thee; go

 23 And Concerning 'the matter which 
 thou and I have spoken of, behold, Jeho- 
 vah be between thee and me for ever. 
 
 24 If So David hid himself in the field : 
 and when the new-moon was come, the 
 king sat him down to eat 16 food. 
 
 25 And the king sat upon his seat, as at 
 other times, even upon a seat by the wall : 
 and Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by 
 Saul's side, and David's place was empty. 
 
 26 Nevertheless Saul spoke not any thing 
 that day : for he thought, Something hath 
 befallen him, he is 'not clean ; surely he is 
 not clean. 
 
 27 And it came to pass on the morrow, 
 which was the second day of the month, 
 that David's place was empty : and Saul 
 said to Jonathan his son, Wherefore 
 cometh not the son of Jesse to ,6 eat, nei- 
 ther yesterday, nor to-day ? 
 
 28 And Jonathan 'answered Saul, David 
 earnestly asked leave of me to go to Beth- 
 lehem : 
 
 29 And he said, Let me go, I pray thee ; 
 for our family hath a sacrifice in the city ; 
 and my brother he hath commanded me to 
 be there: and now if I have found favour 
 in "thy sight, let me 18 go away, I pray thee, 
 and see my brethren. Therefore he com- 
 eth not to the king's table. 
 
 30 Then Saul's anger was kindled against 
 Jonathan, and he said to him, || tThou son 
 of 19 a perverse 20 obstinate woman, do not 
 I know that thou hast chosen the son of 
 Jesse to thine own confusion, and to the 
 confusion of thy mother's nakedness? 
 
 31 For as long as the son of Jesse liveth 
 upon the ground, thou 2I wilt not be estab- 
 lished, nor thy kingdom. Wherefore now 
 send and bring him to me, for he tshall 
 surely die. 
 
 32 And Jonathan answered Saul his fa- 
 ther, and said to him, "Wherefore shall he 
 be slain ? what hath he done ? 
 
 33 And Saul 'cast a 22 spear at him to 
 smite him : "by which Jonathan knew that 
 ^his father had prepared to slay David. 
 
 34 So Jonathan arose from the table in 
 fierce anger, and did eat no 24 food the se- 
 cond day of the month : for he was grieved 
 for David, because his father had "reviled 
 him. 
 
 35 IT And it came to pass in the morning, 
 that Jonathan went out into the field at 
 the time appointed with David, and a lit- 
 tle lad with him.

 wilt take that, take it: for there is no other

 10 If And David arose, and fled that day 
 for fear of Saul, and went to IJAchish the 
 king of Gath. 
 
 11 And m the servants of Achish said to 
 him, Is not this David the king of the land ? 
 did they not sing one to another of him in 
 dances, saying, "Saul hath slain his thou- 
 sands, and David his ten thousands ? 
 
 12 And David "laid up these words in his 
 heart, and was 7 greatly afraid of Achish 
 the king of Gath.

 1 Companies resort to David at Adullam. 3 At Miz- 
 peh he commendeth his parents to the king of Moab. 
 5 Admonished by Gad, he cometh to Hareth. 6 Saul 
 going to pursue him, complaineth of his servants' 
 unfaithfulness. 9 Doeg accuseth Ahimelech. 11 
 Saul commandeth to kill the priests. 17 The foot- 
 men refusing, Doeg executeth it. 20 Abiathar es- 
 caping, bringeth David the news. 
 
 DAVID therefore departed thence, and 
 "escaped fc to the cave Adullam : and 
 when his brethren and all his father's house 
 heard it, they went down thither to Mm. 
 
 2 c And every one that was 'sorrowful, 
 and every one that \was in debt, and every 
 one tliat was tdiscontented, gathered them- 
 selves to him ; and he became a captain 
 over them: and there were with him about 
 four hundred men. 
 
 3 If And David went thence to Mizpeh 
 of Moab : and he said to the king of Moab, 
 Let my father and my mother, I pray thee, 
 come forth, and be with you, till I know 
 what God will do for me. 
 
 4 And he brought them before the king 
 of Moab : and they dwelt with him all the 
 while that David was in the 2 fortress. 
 
 5 f And the prophet d Gad said to David, 
 Abide not in the 'fortress ; depart, and 4 go 
 into the land of Judah. Then David de- 
 parted, and came into the forest of Hareth. 
 
 6 If When Saul heard that David was 
 discovered, and the men that were with 
 him, (now Saul abode in Gibeah under a 
 'tamarisk -tree in Ram ah, having his spear 
 in his hand, and all his servants were stand- 
 ing about him ;) 
 
 7 Then Saul said to his servants that stood 
 about him, Hear now, ye Benjamites , will 
 the son of Jesse 'give every one of you fields 
 and vineyards, and make you all captains 
 of thousands, and captains of hundreds ; 
 
 8 That all of you have conspired against 
 me, and there is none that tsheweth me 
 that 'my son hath made a league with the 
 son of Jesse, and there is none of you that 
 is sorry for me, or sheweth to me that my

 the lad ran, he shot an arrow tbeyond 
 him. 
 
 37 And when the lad was come to the 
 place of the arrow which Jonathan had 
 shot, Jonathan cried after the lad, and said, 
 Is not the arrow beyond thee ? 
 
 38 And Jonathan cried after the lad, 
 Make speed, haste, stay not. And Jona- 
 than's lad gathered up the arrows, and 
 came to his master. 
 
 39 But the lad knew not any thing : only 
 Jonathan and David knew the matter. 
 
 40 And Jonathan gave his t K weapohs to 
 tliis lad, and said to him, Go, carry them 
 to the city. 
 
 41 ^ And as soon as the lad was gone, 
 David arose "from the south side, and fell 
 on his face to the ground, and bowed him- 
 self three times: and they kissed one 
 another, and wept one with another, until 
 David exceeded. 
 
 42 And Jonathan said to David, "Go in 
 peace, H^because we have sworn both of 
 us 29 by the name of Jehovah, saying, Je- 
 hovah be between me and thee, and be- 
 tween my seed and thy seed for ever. 
 And he arose and departed : and Jonathan 
 went into the city. 
 
 CHAPTER XXI. 
 
 I David at Nob obtaineth of Ahimelech hallowed 
 bread. 7 Doeg was present. 8 David taketh Go- 
 liath's sword. 10 David at Gathfeigneth himself 
 mad. 
 
 THEN came David to Nob to •Ahime- 
 lech the priest: and Ahimelech was 
 *afraid at the meeting of David, and said 
 to him, Why art thou alone, and no man 
 with thee ? 
 
 2 And David said to Ahimelech the priest, 
 The king hath commanded me a business, 
 and hath said to me, Let no man know any 
 thing of the business 'concerning which I 
 send thee, and what I have commanded 
 thee: and I have appointed my servants 
 to such and such a place. 
 
 3 Now therefore what is under thy hand? 
 give me five loaves of 'bread in my hand, or 
 what there is tpresent. 
 
 4 And the priest answered David, and 
 said, There is no common bread under my 
 hand, but there is "hallowed bread ; **if the 
 young men have kept themselves at least 
 from women. 
 
 5 And David answered the priest, and 
 said to him, Of a truth women have been 
 kept from us about these three days, since 
 I came out, and the "vessels of the young 
 men are holy, and the bread is in a manner 
 common, llyea, though it were sanctified 
 this day 'in the vessel. 
 
 6 So the priest ? gave him hallowed bread: 
 for there was no bread there but the pre- 
 sence-bread, "that was taken from before 
 Jehovah, to put hot bread 3 on the day 
 when it was taken away. 
 
 7 Now a certain man of the servants of 
 Saul was there that day, detained before 
 Jehovah; and his name was 'Doeg, an 
 Edomite, the 4 chief of the herdmen that 
 belonged to Saul. 
 
 8 If And David said to Ahimelech, And 
 is there not here under thy hand spear or 
 sword? for I have neither brought my 
 sword nor my weapons with me, because 
 the king's business required haste. 
 
 9 And the priest said, The sword of Go-

 son hath 6 raised up my servant against me, 
 to lie in wait, as at this day ? 
 
 9 1[ Then answered fDoeg the Edomite, 
 who was set over the servants of Saul, and 
 said, I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, 
 to "Ahimelech the son of 'Ahitub. 
 
 10 "And he inquired of Jehovah for him, 
 and 'gave him victuals, and gave him the 
 sword of Goliath the Philistine. 
 
 11 Then the king sent to call Ahimelech 
 the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his 
 father's house, the priests that were in Nob : 
 and they came all of them to the king. 
 
 12 And Saul said, Hear now, thou son of 
 Ahitub. And he answered, tHere I am, 
 my lord. 
 
 13 And Saul said to him, Why have ye 
 conspired against me, thou and the son of 
 Jesse, in that thou hast given him bread, 
 and a sword, and hast inquired of God for 
 him, that he should rise against me, to lie 
 in wait, as at this day ? 
 
 14 Then Ahimelech answered the king, 
 and said, And who is so faithful among all 
 thy servants as David, who is the king's 
 son-in-law, and 7 approacheth at thy bid- 
 ding, and is honourable in thy house ? 
 
 15 Did I then begin to inquire of God for 
 him ? be it far from me. Let not the king 
 impute any thing to his servant, nor to all 
 the house of my father : for thy servant 
 knew nothing ot all this, tless or more. 
 
 16 And the king said, Thou shalt surely 
 die, Ahimelech, thou, and all thy father's 
 house. 
 
 17 If And the king said to the "guard that 
 stood about him, Turn, and slay the priests 
 of Jehovah ; because their hand also is 
 with David, and because they knew when 
 he fled, and did not shew it to me. But the 
 servants of the king m \vould not put forth 
 their hand to 9 smite the priests of Jehovah. 
 
 18 And the king said to Doeg, Turn thou, 
 and '"smite the priests. And Doeg the 
 Edomite turned, and he "smote the priests, 
 and "slew on that day fourscore and five 
 persons that did wear a linen ephod. 
 
 19 "And Nob, the city of the priests, 
 smote he with the edge of the sword, both 
 men and women, children and sucklings, 
 and oxen, and asses, and sheep, with the 
 edge of the sword. 
 
 20 If ? And one of the sons of Ahimelech 
 the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, 'es- 
 caped, and fled after David. 
 
 21 And Abiathar shewed David that Saul 
 had slain Jehovah's priests. 
 
 22 And David said to Abiathar, I knew 
 it that day, when Doeg the Edomite was 
 there, that he would surely tell Saul: I 
 have occasioned the death of all the per- 
 sons of thy father's house. 
 
 23 Abide thou with me, fear not : "for he 
 that seeketh my life seeketh thy life : but 
 with me thou shalt be in safe-guard. 
 
 CHAPTER XXIII. 
 
 1 David, inquiring of JEHOVAH by Abiathar, res- 
 cueth Keilah. 7 God shewing him the coming of 
 Saul, and the treachery of the Keilites, he escapeth 
 from Keilah. 14 In Ziph Jonathan cometh and 
 comforteth him. 19 The Ziphites discover him to 
 Saul. 25 At Maon he is rescued from Saul by the 
 
 ■ invasion of the Philistines. 29 He dwelleth at 
 En-gedi. •" 
 
 THEN they told David, saying, Behold, 
 the Philistines fight against "Keilah, 
 and they rob the threshing-floors.

 David rescueth Keilah, fyc. 
 
 2 Therefore David 'inquired of Jehovah, 
 saying, Shall I go and smite these Philis- 
 tines r And Jehovah said to David, Go, 
 and smite the Philistines, and save Keilah. 
 
 3 And David's men said to him, Behold, 
 we 'are afraid here in Judah: how much 
 more then if we come to Keilah against the 
 armies of the Philistines ? 
 
 4 Then David inquired of Jehovah 2 again. 
 And Jehovah answered him and said, 
 Arise, go down to Keilah ; for I will de- 
 liver the Philistines into thy hand. 
 
 5 So David and his men went to Keilah, 
 and fought with the Philistines, and 3 drove 
 away their cattle, and smote them with a 
 
 freat slaughter. So David saved the in- 
 abitants of Keilah. 
 
 6 And it came to pass, when Abiathar 
 the son of Ahimelech "fled to David to 
 Keilah, that he came down with an ephod 
 in his hand. 
 
 7 If And it was told Saul that David was 
 come to Keilah. And Saul said, God hath 
 delivered him into my hand ; for he is shut 
 in, by entering into a 4 city that hath gates 
 and bars. 
 
 8 And Saul called all the people together 
 to war, to go down to Keilah, to besiege 
 David and his men. 
 
 9 1f And David knew that Saul secretly 
 'planned against him ; and 'lie said to Abi- 
 athar the priest, Bring hither the ephod. 
 
 10 Then said David,' O Jehovah God of 
 Israel, thy servant hath certainly heard 
 that Saul seeketh to come to Keilah, 'to 
 destroy the city for my sake. 
 
 11 Will the 'citizens of Keilah deliver 
 me up into his hand ? will Saul come down, 
 as thy servant hath heard? O Jehovah 
 God of Israel, I beseech thee, tell thy 
 servant. And Jehovah said, He will come 
 down. 
 
 12 Then said David, Will the 7 citizens 
 of Keilah tdeliver me and my men into the 
 hand of Saul ? And Jehovah said, They 
 will deliver thee up. 
 
 13 If Then David and his men, f who were 
 about six hundred, arose and departed out 
 of Keilah, and went whithersoever they 
 could go. And it was told Saul that David 
 8 had escaped from Keilah ; and he forbore 
 to go forth. 
 
 14 And David abode in the 9 waste region 
 in '"cliff's, and remained in e & mountain in 
 the "waste region of "Ziph. And Saul 
 'sought him every day, but God delivered 
 him not into his hand. 
 
 15 And David saw that Saul was come 
 out to seek his life : and David was in the 
 l2 waste region of Ziph in a 13 forest. 
 
 16 1f And Jonathan Saul's son arose, and 
 went to David into the "forest and strength- 
 ened his hand in God. 
 
 17 And he said to him, Fear not: for the 
 hand of Saul my father shall not find thee ; 
 and thou shalt be king over Israel, and I 
 shall be next to thee ; and *that also Saul 
 my father knoweth. 
 
 18 And they two 'made a covenant before 
 Jehovah: and David abode in the ,s forest, 
 and Jonathan went to his house. 
 
 19 If Then m came up the Ziphites to Saul 
 to Gibeah, saying, Doth not David hide 
 himself with us in "cliffs in the "forest, in 
 the hill of Hachilah, which is ton the south 
 of "the waste ? 
 
David cultethoff Saul's skirts. CHAPTERS XXIV. XXV. 
 
 Saul acknowledgeth his fuult. 
 
 20 Now therefore, king, come down 
 according to all the desire of thy soul to 
 come down ; and "our part shall be to de- 
 liver him into the king's hand. 
 
 21 And Saul said, Blessed be ye of Je- 
 hovah ; for ye have compassion on me. 
 
 22 Go, I pray you, prepare yet, and know, 
 and see his place wnere his thaunt is, and 
 who hath seen him there : • for it is told me 
 that he dealeth very "craftily. 
 
 23 See therefore, and take Knowledge of 
 all the ^concealed places where he hideth 
 himself, and come ye again to me with the 
 certainty, and I will go with you : and it 
 shall come to pass, if he be in the land, that 
 I will search him out throughout all the 
 thousands of Judah. 
 
 24 And they arose, and went to Ziph be- 
 fore Saul: but David and his men were in 
 the *'waste region "of Maon, in the plain 
 on the south of ^the waste. 
 
 25 Saul also and his men went to seek 
 him. And they told David : wherefore he 
 came down ||into a rock, and abode in the 
 "waste region of Maon. And when Saul 
 heard that, he pursued after David in the 
 "waste region of Maon. 
 
 26 And Saul went on this side of the 
 mountain, and David and his men on that 
 side of the mountain : p and David made 
 haste to get away for fear of Saul ; for Saul 
 and his men * encompassed David and his 
 men M about to take them. 
 
 27 If T But there came a messenger to Saul, 
 saying, Haste thee, and come; for the Phi- 
 listines have tinvaded the land 
 
 28 "Wherefore Saul returned from pur- 
 suing after David, and went against the 
 Philistines : therefore they called that place 
 HSela-hammah-lekoth. 
 
 29 ^ And David went up from thence, 
 and dwelt in ^cliffs at 'En-gedi. 
 
 CHAPTER XXIV. 
 
 1 David in a cave at En-gedi, having cut off Saul's 
 skirt, spareth hii life. 8 He sheweth thereby his 
 innocency. 16 Saul, acknowledging his fault, tak- 
 ing an oath of David, and depart eth. 
 
 A ND it came to pass, "when Saul was 
 -f*- returned from ffollowing the Philis- 
 tines, that it was told him, saying. Behold, 
 David is in the 'waste region of En-gedi. 
 
 2 Then Saul took three thousand chosen 
 men out of all Israel, and 'went to seek 
 David and his men upon the rocks of the 
 wild goats. 
 
 S And he came to the sheep-cotes by the 
 way, where was a cave; and 'Saul went 
 in to d cover his feet : and 'David and his 
 men remained in the sides of the cave. 
 
 4 'And the men of David said to him, 
 Behold the day of which Jehovah said to 
 thee, Behold, I will deliver thine enemy 
 into thy hand, that thou mayest do to him 
 as it shall seem good to thee. Then David 
 arose, and cut off the skirt of tSaul's robe 
 'softly. 
 
 5 And it came to pass afterward, that 
 'David's heart smote him, because he had 
 cut off Saul's skirt. 
 
 6 And he said to his men, *Jehovah for- 
 bid that I should do this thing to my mas- 
 ter, Jehovah's anointed, to stretch forth 
 my hand against him, seeing he is the 
 anointed of Jehovah. 
 
 7 So David '"reproved his servants with 
 these words, and suffered them not to rise

 against Saul. But Saul rose up out of the 
 cave, and went on his way. 
 
 8 David also arose afterward, and went 
 out of the cave, and cried after Saul, say- 
 ing. My lord the king. And when Saul 
 looked behind him, David stooped with 
 his face to the earth, and bowed himself. 
 
 9 If And David said to Saul, "Wherefore 
 hearest thou men's words, saying, Behold, 
 David seeketh thy hurt ? 
 
 10 Behold, this day thine eyes have seen 
 how that Jehovah hath delivered thee to- 
 day into my hand in the cave : and some 
 bade me kill thee; but mine eye spared 
 thee ; and I said, I will not put forth my 
 hand against my lord ; for he is Jehovah's 
 anointed. 
 
 11 Moreover, my father, see, yea, see the 
 skirt of thy robe in my hand : for in that 
 I cut off the skirt of thy robe, and killed 
 thee not, know thou and see that there is 
 'neither evil nor transgression in my hand, 
 and I have not sinned against thee; yet 
 thou m huntest my "life to take it. 
 
 12 "Jehovah judge between me and thee, 
 and Jehovah avenge me of thee. : but my 
 hand shall not be upon thee. 
 
 13 As saith the proverb of the ancients, 
 Wickedness proceedeth from the wicked: 
 but my hand shall not be upon thee. 
 
 14 After whom is the king of Israel come 
 out ? after whom dost thou pursue ? "after 
 a dead dog, after p a flea ? 
 
 15 'Jehovah therefore be judge, and judge 
 between me and thee, and r see, and 'plead 
 my cause, and tdeliver me out of thy hand. 
 
 16 If And it came to pass when David 
 had made an end of speaking these words 
 to Saul, that Saul said, 'Is this thy voice, 
 my son David? And Saul lifted up hi9 
 voice, and wept. 
 
 17 "And he said to David, Thou art "more 
 righteous than I : for »thou hast rewarded 
 me good, 5 but I have rewarded thee evil. 
 
 18 And thou hast shewed this day how 
 that thou hast dealt well with me; be- 
 cause when 'Jehovah had tdelivered me 
 into thy hand, thou killedst me not. 
 
 19 For if a man find his enemy, will he 
 let him go 7 safely away? wherefore Je- 
 hovah reward thee gooa, for that ' which' 
 thou hast done to me this day. 
 
 20 And now, behold, "I know well that 
 thou shalt surely be king, and that the 
 kingdom of Israel shall be established in 
 thy nand. 
 
 21 'Swear now therefore to me by Jeho- 
 vah, that thou wilt not cut off my seed 
 after me, and that thou wilt not destroy 
 my name out of my father's house. 
 
 22 And David swore to Saul. And Saul 
 went home ; but David and his men 8 went 
 up to ''the 9 cliff. 
 
 CHAPTER XXV. 
 
 1 Samuel dieth. 2 David in Paran sendeth to Nabal. 
 10 Provoked by Nabal's churlishness, he h-esolveth 
 to destroy him. 14 Abigail understanding there- 
 of, 18 takelh a present, 23 and by her wisdom 32 
 pacifieth David. 36 Nabal hearing thereof dieth. 
 39 David takelh Abigail and Ahinoam to be his 
 wives. 44 Michal is given to Phalti. 
 
 AND "Samuel died : and all the Israel- 
 ites were gathered together, and 'la- 
 mented him, and buried him in his house 
 at Ramah. And David arose, and went 
 down 'to the 2 waste region of Paran. 
 2 And there was a man ^n Maon, who=,e 
 
 219 
 
NabaPs churlishness. 
 
 'business was in 'Carmel ; and the man 
 was very great, and he had three thousand 
 sheep, and a thousand goats : and he was 
 shearing his sheep in Carmel. 
 S Now the name of the man was Nabal ; 
 and the name of his wife Abigail : and she 
 was a woman of good understanding, and 
 of a beautiful countenance : but the man 
 was 4 surly and evil in his doings; and he 
 was of the house of Caleb. 
 
 4 If And David heard in the wilderness 
 that Nabal did ■'shear his sheep^ 
 
 5 And David sent out ten young men, 
 and David said to the young men, 6 Go up 
 to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and t 6 ask him 
 concerning his welfare in my name: 
 
 6 And thus shall ye say to him that liveth 
 in prosperity, *Peace be both to thee, and 
 peace be to thy house, and peace be to all 
 that thou hast. 
 
 7 And now I have heard that thou hast 
 shearers: now thy shepherds who were 
 with us, we thurt them not, *neither was 
 there 7 any thing missing to them, all the 
 while they were in Carmel. 
 
 8 Ask thy young men, and they will shew 
 thee. Wherefore let the young men find 
 favour in 8 thy sight: for we come in 'a 
 good day: give, I pray thee, whatever 
 cometh to thy hand to thy servants, and to 
 thy son David. 
 
 9 And when David's young men came, 
 they spoke to Nabal according to all those 
 words in th° name of David, and tceased. 
 
 10 *fl And Nfabal answered David's ser- 
 vants, and said, *Who is David ? and who 
 is the son of Jesse ? there 9 are many ser- 
 vants 10 now that break away "each man 
 from his master. 
 
 11 'Shall I then take my bread, and my 
 water, and my tflesh that I have killed for 
 my shearers, and give it to men, whom I 
 know not whence they n are ? 
 
 12 So David's young men turned their 
 way, and went again, and came and told 
 him all those sayings. 
 
 13 And David said to his men, Gird 
 ye on 13 each man his sword. And they 
 girded on M each man his sword ; and Da- 
 vid also girded on his sword : and there 
 went up after David about four hundred 
 men; and two hundred "abode by the 
 ls baggage. 
 
 14 If But one of the young men told Abi- 
 gail, Nabal's wife, saying, Behold, David 
 sent messengers out of the l6 waste region to 
 "bless our master; and he trailed I8 at them. 
 
 15 But the men were very good to us, and 
 "we were not thurt, neither missed we any 
 thing, as long as we were l9 in company with 
 them, when we were in the fields : 
 
 16 They were "a wall to us both by night 
 and day, all the while we were with them 
 keeping the sheep. 
 
 17 Now therefore know and consider 
 what thou wilt do : for p evil is ^prepared 
 against our master, and against all his 
 household : for he is such a son of « 21 wick- 
 edness, that a man cannot speak to him. 
 
 18 If Then Abigail made haste, and 'took 
 two hundred loaves 'of bread', and two 
 'leathern' bottles of wine, and five sheep 
 ready dressed, and five measures of parch- 
 ed n grain, and a hundred H^cakes of rai- 
 sins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and 
 laid them on asses.

 I. SAMUEL. Abigail's discreet conduct. 
 
 19 And she said to her servants, 'Go on 
 before me; behold, I come after you. But 
 she told not her husband Nabal. 
 
 20 And it ^came to pass, as she rode on 
 the ass, that she came down by the covert 
 of the ^mountain, and behold, David and 
 his men came down against her ; and she 
 met them. 
 
 21 (Now David had said, Surely in vain 
 have I kept all that this fellow hath in the 
 ^waste region, so that nothing was missed 
 of all that ^belonged to him : and he hath 
 "requited me evil for good. 
 
 22 *So and more also do God to the ene- 
 mies of David, if I "leave of all that per- 
 tain to him by the morning light *any 
 ^male.) 
 
 23 And when Abigail' saw David, she 
 hasted, and- "lighted off ' from' the ass, and 
 fell before David on her face, and bowed 
 herself to the ground, 
 
 24 And fell at his feet, and said, Upon 
 me, my lord, upon me let this iniquity be : 
 and let thy handmaid, I pray thee, speak 
 in M thy hearing, and hear the words of thy 
 handmaid. 
 
 25 Let not my lord, I pray thee, tregard 
 this man of '"wickedness, even Nabal : for 
 as his name is, so is he; ||Nabal is his 
 name, and folly is with him : but I thy 
 handmaid saw not the young men of my 
 lord, whom thou didst send. 
 
 26 Now. therefore, my lord, h as Jehovah 
 liveth, and as 31 thou livest, seeing Jeho- 
 vah hath c withholden thee from coming to 
 shed blood, and from t d avenging thyself 
 with thine own hand, now 'let thine ene- 
 mies, and they that seek evil to my lord, 
 be as Nabal. 
 
 27 And now '"this ^present which thy 
 handmaid hath brought to my lord, let it 
 even be given to the young men that tfol- 
 low my lord. 
 
 28 I pray thee, forgive the trespass of thy 
 handmaid: for *"Jehovah will certainly 
 make my lord a sure house ; because my 
 lord *fighteth the battles of Jehovah, and 
 'evil hath not been found in thee all thy 
 days, 
 
 29 Yet a man is risen to pursue thee, 
 and to seek thy M life : but the '"life of my 
 lord shall be bound in the bundle of life 
 with Jehovah thy God ; and the '"lives of 
 thine enemies, them shall he *sling out, ias 
 out of the ^hollow of a sling. 
 
 30 And it shall come to pass, when Je- 
 hovah shall have done to my lord accord- 
 ing to all the good that he hath spoken 
 concerning thee, and shall have appointed 
 thee ruler over Israel ; 
 
 31 That this shall be 37 no grief to thee, 
 nor offence of heart to my lord, either that 
 thou hast shed blood causelessly, or that 
 my lord hath avenged himself: but when 
 Jehovah shall have dealt well with my 
 lord, then remember thy handmaid. 
 
 32 ^ And David said to Abigail, 'Blessed 
 be Jehovah God of Israel, who sent thee 
 this day to meet me : 
 
 33 And blessed be thy 38 discernment, and 
 blessed be thou, who hast ""kept me this 
 day from coming to shed blood, and from 
 avenging myself with mine own hand. 
 
 34 For in very deed, as Jehovah God of

David taketh Abigail as a wife. 
 
 and come to meet me, surely there had 
 "not been left to Nabal by the morning 
 light any 39 male. 
 
 35 So David received w from her hand 
 thai which she had brought him, and said 
 to her, p Go up in peace to thy house ; see, 
 I have hearkened to thy voice, and have 
 'accepted thy person. 
 
 36 If And Abigail came to Nabal ; and 
 behold, r he held a feast in his house, like 
 the feast of a king ; and Nabal 's heart was 
 merry within him, for he was very drunk- 
 en : wherefore she told him nothing, less 
 or more, until the morning light. 
 
 37 But it came to pass in the morning, 
 when the wine had gone out of Nabal, and 
 his wife had told him these things, that his 
 heart died within him, and he became 
 "like a stone. 
 
 38 And it came to pass about ten days 
 after, that Jehovah smote Nabal, ^and he 
 died. 
 
 39 ^T And when David heard that Nabal 
 was dead, he said, 'Blessed be Jehovah, 
 that hath 'pleaded the cause of my re- 
 proach from the hand of Nabal, and hath 
 "kept his servant from evil : for Jehovah 
 hath Returned the wickedness of Nabal 
 upon his own head. And David sent and 
 ■•'spoke with Abigail, to take her to him 
 44 as a wife. 
 
 40 And when the servants of David were 
 come to Abigail to Carmel, they spoke to 
 her, saying, David sent us to thee, to take 
 thee to him 45 as a wife. 
 
 41 And she arose, and bowed herself on 
 her face to the earth, and said, Behold, let 
 "thy handmaid be a servant to wash the 
 feet of the servants of my lord. 
 
 42 And Abigail hasted, and arose, and 
 rode upon an ass, with five damsels of hers 
 that went tafter her ; and she went after 
 the messengers of David, and became his 
 wife. 
 
 43 David also took Ahinoam "of Jezreel ; 
 "and they were also both of them his wives. 
 
 44 If But Saul had given 'Michal his 
 daughter, David's wife, to UPhaiti the son 
 of Laish, who was of 'Gallim. 
 
 CHAPTER XXVI. 
 
 1 Saul, by the discovery of the Ziphites, cometh to 
 Hachilah against David. 4 David coming into the 
 trench stayeth Abishai fromkilling Saul,but taketh 
 his spear and cruse. 13 David reproveth Abner, 18 
 andexhorteth Saul. 21 Saul acknowledged his sin. 
 
 AND the Ziphites came to Saul to Gi- 
 beah, saying, "Doth not David hide 
 himself in the hill of Hachilah, which is 
 before 'the waste ? 
 
 2 Then Saul arose, and went down to 
 the 2 waste region of Ziph, having three 
 thousand chosen men of Israel with him, 
 to seek David in the 3 waste region o£Ziph. 
 
 3 And Saul pitched in the hill of Hachi- 
 lah, which is before 4 the waste, by the way. 
 But David abode in the 5 waste region, and 
 he saw that Saul came after him into the 
 6 waste region. 
 
 4 David therefore sent out spies, and un- 
 derstood that Saul 'had certainly come. 
 
 5 ^f And David arose and came to the 
 place where Saul had pitched : and David 
 beheld the place where Saul lay, and *Ab- 
 ner the son of Ner.the captain of his host. 
 And Saul lay in the || 8 wagon-bulwark, and 
 the people pitched round about him. „

 CHAPTER XXVI. David taketh SauPs spear and cruse. 
 
 6 Then 9 spoke David and said to Ahime- 
 lech the Hittite, and to Abishai e the son of 
 Zeruiah, brother to Joab, saying, Who will 
 ''go down with me to Saul to the camp ? 
 And Abishai said, I will go down with thee. 
 
 7 So David and Abishai came to the peo- 
 ple by night: and behold, Saul lay sleep- 
 ing within the '"wagon-bulwark, and his 
 spear stuck in the ground at his bolster : 
 but Abner and the people lay round about 
 him. 
 
 8 Then said Abishai to David, God hath 
 tdelivered thine enemy into thy hand this 
 day: now therefore let me smite him, I 
 pray thee, with the spear, even to the earth 
 at once, and I will not smite him the se- 
 cond time. 
 
 9 And David said to Abishai, Destroy 
 him not: *for who can stretch forth his 
 hand against Jehovah's anointed, and be 
 guiltless ? 
 
 10 David said furthermore, As Jehovah 
 liveth, ^Jehovah shall smite him ; or *his 
 day shall come to die; or he shall "descend 
 into battle, and perish. 
 
 11 'Jehovah forbid that I should stretch 
 forth my hand against Jehovah's anointed : 
 but, I pray thee, take thou now the spear 
 that is at his bolster, and the cruse of 
 water, and let us go. 
 
 12 So David took the spear and the cruse 
 of water from Saul's bolster ; and they 
 "went away, and no man saw it, nor knew 
 it, neither awaked : for they were all asl eep : 
 because *a deep sleep from Jehovah I2 had 
 fallen upon them. 
 
 13 If Then David went over to the other 
 side and stood on the top of 13 the mountain 
 afar off"; a great space being between them : 
 
 14 And David cried to the people, and to 
 Abner the son of Ner, saying, Answerest 
 thou not, Abner ? Then Abner answered 
 and said, Who art thou that criest to the 
 king? 
 
 15 And David said to Abner, Art not 
 thou a 13 man ? and who is like to thee in 
 Israel ? Wherefore then hast thou not kept 
 thy lord the king ? for there came one of 
 the people in to destroy the king thy lord.. 
 
 16 This thing is not good that thou hast 
 done. As Jehovah liveth, ye are tworthy 
 to die, because ye have not kept your mas- 
 ter Jehovah's anointed. And now see 
 where the king's spear is, and the cruse 
 of water that was at his bolster. 
 
 17 And Saul knew David's voice, and 
 said, 'Is this thy voice, my son David ? and 
 David said, It is my voice, my lord, O king. 
 
 18 And he said, ""Wherefore doth my lord 
 thus pursue after his servant? for what 
 have I done ? or what evil is in my hand ? 
 
 19 Now therefore, I pray thee, let my 
 lord the king hear the words of his servant. 
 If Jehovah have "stirred thee up against 
 me, let him taccept an offering : but if they 
 be the children of men, cursed be they be- 
 fore Jehovah ; "for they have driven me 
 out this day from tabiding in the ^inherit- 
 ance of Jehovah, saying, Go, serve other 
 gods. 
 
 20 Now therefore, let not my blood fall 
 to the earth before the face of Jehovah : 
 for the king of Israel is come out to seek 
 ya flea, as when one doth hunt a partridge 
 in the mountains.

 turn, my son David': for I will no more do 
 thee harm, because my 16 life was 'precious 
 in thine eyes this day : behold, I have play-

 22 And David answered and said, Behold 
 the king's spear ! and let one of the young 
 men come over and bring it. 
 
 23 'Jehovah render to every man his 
 righteousness and his faithfulness: for Je- 
 hovah delivered thee into ?ra/hand to-day, 
 but I would not stretch forth my hand 
 against Jehovah's anointed. 
 
 24 And behold, as thy life was much set 
 by this day in mine eyes, so let my life be 
 much set by in the I6 sight of Jehovah, and 
 let him deliver me out of all "trouble. 
 
 25 Then Saul said to David, Blessed be 
 thou, my son David : thou shalt both do 
 
 treat things, and also shalt still "prevail, 
 o David went on his way, and Saul re- 
 turned to his place. 
 
 CHAPTER XXVII. 
 
 1 Saul hearing David to be in Gath seeketh no more 
 for him. 5 David beggeth Ziklag of Achish. 8 
 He, invading other countries, persuadeth Achish 
 he fought against Judah. 
 
 AND David said in his heart, I shall 
 now tperish one day by the hand of 
 Saul : there is nothing better for me than 
 that I should speedily escape into the land 
 of the Philistines ; and Saul shall despair 
 of me, to seek me any more in any 'region 
 of Israel : so shall I escape out of his hand. 
 
 2 And David arose, "and he passed over 
 with the six hundred men that were with 
 him 'to Achish, the son of Maoch, king of 
 Gath. 
 
 3 And David dwelt with Achish at Gath, 
 he and his men, 2 each man with his house- 
 hold, even David 'with his two wives, Ahi- 
 noam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the 
 Carmelitess, Nabal's wife. 
 
 4 And it was told Saul that David was 
 fled to Gath : and he sought no more again 
 for him. 
 
 5 If And David said to Achish, If I have 
 now found 3 favour in ^hy sight, let them 
 give me a place in some 5 city in the coun- 
 try, that I may dwell there : for why should 
 thy servant dwell in the royal city with 
 thee? 
 
 6 Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day: 
 wherefore d Ziklag 6 belongeth to the kings 
 of Judah to this day. 
 
 7 And tthe time that David dwelt in the 
 country of the Philistines was ta 7 year and 
 four months. 
 
 8 If And David and his men went up, and 
 invaded 'the Geshurites, 'and the ||Gez- 
 rites, and the *Amalekites : for those na- 
 tions were "anciently the inhabitants of the 
 land, *as thou goest to Shur, even to the 
 land of Egypt. 
 
 9 And David smote the land, and left 
 neither man nor woman alive, and took 
 away the sheep, and the oxen, and the 
 asses, and the camels, and the apparel, and 
 returned, and came to Achish. 
 
 10 And Achish said, ||Whither have ye 
 made 9 an invasion to-day ? And David 
 said, Against the south of Judah, and 
 against the south of the Jerahmeelites, 
 and against the south of 'the Kenites. 
 
 11 And David saved neither man nor 
 woman alive, to bring tidings to Gath, 
 saying, Lest they should tell 10 of us, say-

 Saul seeketh to a witch at En-dor. 
 
 ing, So did David, and so will be his "cus- 
 tom all the while he dwelleth in the coun- 
 try of the Philistines. 
 12 And Achish believed David, saying, 
 He hath made his people Israel tutterly to 
 abhor him ; therefore ne ,z will be my ser- 
 vant for ever. 
 
 CHAPTER XXVIII. 
 
 1 Achish putteth confidence in David. 3 Saul, having 
 destroyed the witches, 4 and now in his fear for- 
 saken of God, 7 seeketh to a witch. 9 The witch, 
 encouraged by Saul, raiseth up Samuel. 15 Saul, 
 hearing his ruin, fainteth. 21 The woman with 
 his servants refresh him with meat. 
 
 AND °it came to pass in those days, that 
 the Philistines gathered their armies 
 together for warfare, to fight with Israel. 
 And Achish said to David, Know thou 
 assuredly, that thou shalt go out with me 
 to battle, thou and thy men. 
 
 2 And David said to Achish, Surely thou 
 shalt know what thy servant can do. And 
 Achish said to David, Therefore will I 
 make thee keeper of my head for ever. 
 
 3 If Now 'Samuel 'had died, and all Is- 
 rael had lamented him, and buried him in 
 Ramah, even in his own city. And Saul 
 had put away 'those that had z familiar spi- 
 rits, and the wizards, out of the land. 
 
 4 And the Philistines gathered themselves 
 together, and came and pitched in d Shu- 
 nem : and Saul gathered all Israel together, 
 and they pitched in 'Gilboa. 
 
 5 And when Saul saw the host of the 
 Philistines, he was 'afraid, and his heart 
 greatly trembled. 
 
 6 And when j*>aul inquired of Jehovah, 
 *Jehovah answered him not, neither by 
 Mreams, nor 'hy 3 Lights, nor by prophets. 
 
 7 If Then said Saul to his servants, Seek 
 me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that 
 I may go to her, and inquire of her. And his 
 servants said to him, Behold, there is a wo- 
 man that hath a familiar spirit at En-dor. 
 
 8 And Saul disguised himself, and put on 
 other raiment, and he went, and two men 
 with him, and they came to the woman by 
 night : and *he said, I pray thee, divine to 
 me by the familiar spirit, and bring me 
 him up, whom I shall name to thee. 
 
 9 And thg woman said to him, Behold, 
 thou knowest what Saul hath done, how 
 he hath 'cut off those that have familiar 
 spirits, and the wizards, out of the land ; 
 wherefore then layest thou a snare for my 
 life, to cause me to die ? 
 
 10 And Saul swore to her by Jehovah, 
 saying, Jls Jehovah liveth, there shall no 
 punishment happen to thee for this thing. 
 
 11 Then saidthe woman, Whom shall I 
 bring up to thee ? And he said, Bring me 
 up Samuel. 
 
 12 And when the woman saw Samuel, 
 she cried with a loud voice : and the wo- 
 man spoke to Saul, saying, Why hast thou 
 deceived me ? for thou art Saul. 
 
 13 And the king said to her, Be not afraid : 
 for what sawest thou? And the woman 
 said to Saul, I saw m4 gods ascending out 
 of the earth. 
 
 14 And he said to her, tWhat form is he 
 of? And she said, An old man cometh up; 
 and he is covered with "a mantle. And 
 Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he 
 stooped with his face to the ground, and 
 bowed himself.

 15 f ^.nd Samuel said to Saul, Why hast 
 thou disquieted me, to bring me up ? and 
 Saul answered, P I am 6 greatly distressed ; 
 for the Philistines make war against me, 
 and ? God is departed from me, and r an- 
 swereth me no more, neither tby prophets, 
 nor by dreams: therefore I have called 
 thee, that thou mayest make known to me 
 what I shall do. 
 
 16 Then said Samuel, Wherefore then 
 dost thou ask of me, seeing Jehovah is 
 departed from thee, and is become thine 
 enemy ? 
 
 17 And Jehovah hath done [jto him, 'as 
 he spoke by tme : for Jehovah hath rent 
 the kingdom out of thy hand, and given it 
 to thy neighbour, even to David : 
 
 18 "Because thou obeyedst not the voice 
 of Jehovah, nor executedst his fierce wrath 
 upon Amalek, therefore hath Jehovah done 
 this thing to thee this day. 
 
 19 Moreover, Jehovah will also deliver 
 Israel with thee into the hand of the Phi- 
 listines : and to-morrow shall thou and 
 thy sons be with me : Jehovah also 6 will 
 deliver the host of Israel into the hand of 
 the Philistines. 
 
 20 Then Saul tfell immediately at full 
 length on the earth, and was 8 greatly trou- 
 bled, because of the words of Samuel : 
 and there was no strength in him ; for he 
 had eaten no bread all the day, nor all the 
 night. 
 
 21 f And the woman came to Saul, and 
 saw that he was 'greatly troubled, and said 
 to him. Behold, thy handmaid hath obeyed 
 thy voice, and I have "put my life in my 
 hand, and have hearkened to thy words 
 which thou ,0 didst speak to me. 
 
 22 Now therefore, I pray thee, hearken 
 thou also to the voice of thy handmaid, and 
 let me set a morsel of bread before thee ; 
 and eat, that thou mayest have strength 
 when thou goeskon thy way. 
 
 23 But he refused, and said, I will not 
 eat. But his servants, together with the 
 woman, "urged him; and he hearkened to 
 their voice. So he arose from the earth, 
 and sat upon the bed. 
 
 24 And the woman had a 12 stalled calf in 
 the house ; and she hasted, and killed it, 
 and took flour, and kneaded it, and did 
 bake unleavened bread thereof: 
 
 25 And she brought it before Saul, and be- 
 fore his servants ; and they did eat. Then 
 they arose 13 , and went away that night. 
 
 CHAPTER XXIX. 
 
 1 David marching with the Philistines, 3 is disal-

 with commendations of his fidelity. 
 
 NOW "the, Philistines gathered together 
 all their armies *to Aphek : and the 
 Israelites pitched by a fountain which is 
 in Jezreel. 
 
 2 And the lords of the Philistines- passed 
 on by hundreds, and by thousands : but 
 David and his men passed on in the rere- 
 ward 'with Achish. 
 
 3 Then said the princes of the Philistines, 
 What do these Hebrews here? And Achish 
 said to the princes of the Philistines, Is 
 not this David, the servant of Saul the 
 king of Israel, who hath been with me 
 d these days, or these years, and I have 
 'found no fault in him since he fell to me 
 to this day ?

 4 And the princes of the Philistines were 
 'angry with him ; and the princes of the 
 Philistines said to him, ^Make this 'man 
 return, that he may go again to his place 
 which thou hast appointed him, and let 
 him not go down with us to battle, lest *in 
 the battle he be an adversary to us : for 
 wherewith should he 3 make himself ac- 
 ceptable to his master? should it not be 
 with the heads of these men ? 
 
 5 Is not this David, of whom they sung 
 one to another in dances, saying, ''Saul 
 slew his thousands, and David nis ten 
 thousands ? 
 
 6 1 Then Achish called David, and said 
 to him, Surely, as Jehovah liveth, thou 
 hast been upright, and 'thy going out and 
 thy coming in with me in fne host is good 
 in my sight : for *I have not found evil in 
 thee since the day of thy coming to me 
 to this day : nevertheless tthe lords favour 
 thee not. 
 
 7 Wherefore now return, and go in peace, 
 that thou tdisplease not the lords of the 
 Philistines. 
 
 8 TJ And David said to Achish, But what 
 have I done ? and what hast thou found 
 in thy servant, so long as I have been 
 twith thee to this day, that I may not go 
 fight against the enemies of my lord the 
 king? 
 
 9 And Achish answered and said to Da- 
 vid, I know that thou art good in my sight, 
 ! as an angel of God : notwithstanding, m the 
 princes of the Philistines have said, He 
 shall not go up with usto the battle.^ 
 
 10 Wherefore now rise up early in the 
 morning with thy master's servants that 
 are come with thee : and as soon as ye be 
 up early in the morning, and have light, 
 depart. 
 
 11 So David and his men rose up early to 
 depart in the morning, to return into the 
 land of the Philistines. "And the Philis- 
 tines went up to Jezreel. 
 
 CHAPTER XXX. 
 
 1 The Amalekites spoil Ziklag. 4 David asking 
 counsel is encouraged by God to pursue them. 1 1 
 By the means of a revived Egyptian he is brought 
 to the enemies, and recovereth all the spoil. 22 Da- 
 vid's law to divide the spoil equally between them 
 that fight, and them that keep the stuff. 26 He 
 sendeth presents to his friends. 
 
 AND it came to pass, when David and 
 his men were come to Ziklag on the 
 third day, that the "Amalekites nad in- 
 vaded the south, and Ziklag, and smitten 
 Ziklag, and burned it with fire ; 
 
 2 And had taken the women captives 
 that were therein; they slew not any, either 
 great or small, but 'drove them away, and 
 went on their way. 
 
 3 ^f So David and his men came to the. 
 city, and behold, it was burned with fire ; 
 and their wives, and their sons, and their 
 daughters, were taken captives. 
 
 4 Then David and the people that were 
 with him lifted up their voice and wept, 
 until they had no more power to Aveep. 
 
 5 And David's 'two wives were taken 
 captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and 
 Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite. 
 
 6 And David was greatly distressed : 
 c for the people spoke of stoning him, be- 
 cause the soul of all the people was tgrieved, 
 every man for his sons, and for his daugh- 
 
 223 
 
The ^male/cites spoil Ziklag. 
 
 ters : d but David Strengthened himself in 
 Jehovah his God. 
 
 7 "And David said to Abiathar the priest, 
 Ahimelech's son, I pray thee bring me 
 hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought 
 thither the ephod to David. 
 
 8 'And David inquired 3 of Jehovah, say- 
 ing, Shall I pursue after this troop ? shall 
 I overtake them ? And he answered him, 
 Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake 
 them, and without fail recover all. 
 
 9 So David went, he and the six hundred 
 men that were with him, and came to the 
 brook Besor, where those that were left be- 
 hind stayed. 
 
 10 But David pursued, he and four hun- 
 dred men : for two hundred abode behind, 
 who were so faint that they could not go 
 over the brook Besor. 
 
 11 If And they found an Egyptian in the 
 field, and brought him to David, and gave 
 him bread, and he did eat; and they made 
 him drink water; 
 
 12 And they gave him a piece of a cake 
 of figs, and two 4 cakes of raisins : and *when 
 he had eaten, his spirit came again to him : 
 for he had eaten no bread, nor drank any 
 water, three days and three nights. 
 
 13 And David said to him, To whom be- 
 longest thou ? and whence art thou ? And 
 he said, I am a young man of Egypt, ser- 
 vant to an Amalekite; and my master 
 left me, because three days 5 ago I fell sick. 
 
 14 We made an invasion upon the south 
 of jthe Cherethites, and upon the ^region 
 which belongeth to Judah, and upon the 
 south of *Caleb; and we burned Ziklag 
 with fire. 
 
 15 And David said to him, Canst thou 
 bring me down to this company ? And he 
 said, Swear to me by God, that thou wilt 
 neither kill me, nor deliver me into the 
 hands of my master, and I will bring thee 
 down to this 7 troop. 
 
 16 1f And when he had brought him down, 
 behold, they were spread abroad upon all 
 the earth, 'eating and drinking, and danc- 
 ing, because of all the great spoil that they 
 had taken out of the land of the Philis- 
 tines, and out of the land of Judah. 
 
 17 And David smote them from the twi- 
 light even to the evening of tthe next day: 
 and there escaped not a man of them, 'ex- 
 cept four hundred young men, who rode 
 upon camels, and fled. 
 
 18 And David recovered all that the 
 Amalekites had carried away : and David 
 rescued his two wives. 
 
 19 And there was nothing lacking to 
 them, neither small nor great, neither sons 
 nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any thing 
 that they had taken to them : "David re- 
 covered all. 
 
 20 And David took all the flocks and 
 the herds, which they drove before those 
 other cattle, and said, This is David's 
 spoil. 
 
 21 If And David came to the "two hun- 
 dred men, who were so faint that they could 
 not follow David, whom they had. made 
 also to abide at the brook Besor: and they 
 went forth to meet David, and to meet the 
 people that were with him : and when Da- 
 vid came near to the people, he || 9 asked 
 them concerning their welfare. 
 
 22 Then answered all the 10 evil men, and

 that they may lead them away, and de-

 23 Then said David, Ye shall not do so,

 24 For who will hearken to you in this

 25 And it was so from that day tforward, 
 that he made it I8 an ordinance and ,9 a sta- 
 tute for Israel to this day. 
 
 26 ^ And when David came to Ziklag, he 
 sent ' some' of the spoil to the elders of 
 Judah, even to his friends, saving, Behold 
 a tpresent for you, of the spoil of the ene- 
 mies of Jehovah ;

 CHAPTER XXXI. 
 
 1 Saul having lost his army, and his sons slain, he 
 and his armour-bearer kill themselves. 7 The Phi- 
 listines possess the forsaken toions of the Israel- 
 ites. 8 They triumph over the dead carcasses. 1 1 
 They of Jabesh-gilead, recovering the bodies by 
 night, burn them at Jabesh, and mournfully bury 
 their bones. 
 
 NOW "the Philistines fought against Is- 
 rael : and the men of Israel fled from 
 before the Philistines, and fell down ||slain 
 'on mount 'Gilboa. 
 
 2 And the Philistines followed hard upon 
 Saul and upon his sons ; and the Philis- 
 tines slew 'Jonathan, and Abinadab and 
 Malchi-shua, Saul's sons. _ . 
 
 3 And d the battle 2 was fierce against 
 Saul, and the tarchers thit him; and he 
 was Severely wounded 4 by the archers. 
 
 4 'Then said Saul to his armour-bearer, 
 Draw thy sword, and thrust me through 
 therewith; lest 'these uncircumcised come 
 and thrust me through, and ||abuse me. 
 But his armour-bearer would not : for he 
 was 5 greatly afraid. Therefore Saul took 
 a sword, and fell upon it. 
 
 5 And when his armour-bearer saw that 
 Saul was dead, he fell likewise upon his 
 sword, and died with him. 
 
 6 So Saul died, and his three sons, and 
 his armour-bearer, and all his men, that 
 same day together. 
 
 7 If And when the men of Israel that 
 were on the other side of the valley, and 
 they that were on the other side Jordan 
 saw that the men of Israel fled, and that 
 
Saul and his sons slain. Their bones CHAPTER XXXI. are buried by the men of Jabesh-gilead. 
 
 Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook 
 the cities, and fled; and the Philistines 
 came and dwelt in them. 
 
 8 And it came to pass on the morrow, 
 when the Philistines came to strip the slain, 
 that they found Saul and his three sons 
 fallen 6 on mount Gilboa. 
 
 9 And they cut oft' his head, and stripped 
 off his armour, and sent into the land of 
 the Philistines round about, to 'publish it 
 in the house of their idols, and among the 
 people.

 CHAPTER I. 
 
 1 The Amalekite, who brought tidings of the over 
 throw, and accused himself of Saul's death, is 
 slain. 17 David lamenteth Saul and Jonathan 
 with a song. 
 
 NOW it came to pass after the death of 
 Saul, when David was returned from 
 "the slaughter of the Amalekites, and Da- 
 vid had abode two days in Ziklag ; 
 
 2 It came even to pass on the third day, 
 that behold, *a man came out of the camp 
 from Saul c with his clothes rent, and earth 
 upon his head : and so it was, when he 
 came to David, that he fell to the earth, 
 and 'made obeisance. 
 
 3 And David said to him, From whence 
 comest thou ? And he said to him, Out of 
 the camp of Israel am I escaped. 
 
 4 And David said to him, tHow 2 vvas the 
 matter ? I pray thee, tell me. And he an- 
 swered, That the people are fled from the 
 battle, and many of the people also are 
 fallen and dead ; and Saul and Jonathan 
 his son are dead also. 
 
 5 And David said to the young man that 
 told him, How knowest thou that Saul and 
 Jonathan his son s are dead ? 
 
 6 And the young man that told him said, 
 As I happened by chance upon ''mount 
 Gilboa, behold, 'Saul leaned upon his 
 spear ; and lo, the chariots and horsemen 
 followed hard after him. 
 
 7 And when he looked behind him, he 
 saw me, and called to me. And I answer- 
 ed, tHere am I. 
 
 8 And he said to me, Who art thou? 
 And I answered him, I am an Amalekite. 
 
 9 He said to me again, Stand, I pray 
 thee, 4 over me, and slay me: for ^per- 
 plexity hath come upon me, because my 
 life is yet whole in me. 
 
 10 So I stood 6 over him, and ^slew him, 
 because I was sure that he could not live 
 after that he 7 had fallen : and I took the 
 crown that was upon his head, and the 
 bracelet that was on his arm, and have 
 brought them hither to my lord. 
 
 11 Then David took hold on his clothes, 
 and *rent them; and likewise all the men 
 that were with him : 
 
 12 And they mourned and wept, and 
 fasted until "evening, for Saul and for Jo- 
 nathan his son, and for the people of Je- 
 
 . hovah, and for the house of Israel ; because 
 they "had fallen by the sword.

 that told him, Whence art thou ? And he 
 answered, I am the son of a stranger, an

 14 And David said to him, *How wast 
 thou not 'afraid to 'stretch forth thy hand 
 to destroy Jehovah's anointed ? 
 
 15 And 'David called one of the young 
 men, and said, Go near, and fall upon him. 
 And he smote him, 10 and he died. 
 
 16 And David said to him, m Thy blood 
 be upon thy head; for "thy mouth hath 
 testified against thee, saying, I have slain 
 Jehovah's anointed. 
 
 17 ^JAnd David lamented with this lamen- 
 tation over Saul, and over Jonathan his son : 
 
 18 ("Also he bade them teach the children 
 of Judah "The Bow : behold, it is written 
 p in the book ||of Jasher.) 
 
 19 The beauty of Israel is slain upon thy 
 high places : 'how are the mighty fallen ! 
 
 20 'Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in 
 the streets of Askelon ; lest 'the daughters 
 of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daugh- 
 ters of 'the uncircumcised triumph. 
 
 21 Ye "mountains of Gilboa, x let there be 
 no dew, neither let there be rain upon you, 
 nor fields of offerings : for there the shield 
 of the mighty is vilely cast away, the shield 
 of Saul, as though he had not been "anoint- 
 ed with oil. 
 
 22 From the blood of the slain, from the 
 fat of the mighty, z the bow of Jonathan 
 turned not back, and the sword of Saul 
 returned not empty. 
 
 23 Saul and Jonathan were lovely and 
 Hpleasant in their lives, and in their death 
 they were not divided : they were swifter 
 than eagles, they were "stronger than lions. 
 
 24 Ye daughters of Israel, weep over 
 Saul, who clothed you in I2 crimson, with 
 other delights ; who put "ornaments of gold 
 on your apparel. 
 
 25 How are the mighty fallen in the midst 
 of the battle ! O Jonathan, thou wast slain 
 13 on thy high places. 
 
 26 I am aistressed for thee, my brother 
 Jonathan : very pleasant hast thou been to 
 me : 'thy love to me was wonderful, 15 sur- 
 passing the love of women. 
 
 27 'How 16 have the mighty fallen, and the 
 weapons of war perished ! 
 
 CHAPTER II. 
 
 1 David, by God's direction, with his company goeth 
 up to Hebron, where he is made king of Judah. 5 
 
 225 
 
David made king over Judah. 
 
 He commendeth them of Jabesh-gilead for their 
 kindness to Saul. 8 Abner maketh Ish-bosheth' king 
 of Israel. 12 A mortal skirmish between twelve of 
 Abner's and twelve of Joab's men. 18 Asahel is 
 slain. 25 At Abner's motion Joab soundeth a re- 
 treat. 32 Asahel's burial. 
 AND it came to pass after this, that Da- 
 vid inquired of Jehovah, saying, Shall 
 
 I go up into any of the cities of Judah? 
 
 And Jehovah said to him, Go up. And 
 
 David said, Whither shall I go up ? And 
 
 he said, To 'Hebron. 
 
 2 So David went up thither, and his 'two 
 wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and 
 Abigail Nabal's wife the Carmelite. 
 
 3 And "*his men that were with him did 
 David bring up, 'each man with his house- 
 hold : and they dwelt in the cities of He- 
 bron. 
 
 4 "And the men of Judah came, and there 
 they anointed David king over the house 
 of Judah. And they told David, saying, 
 That 'the men of Jabesh-gilead were Hhose 
 who buried Saul. 
 
 5 If And David sent messengers to the 
 men of Jabesh-gilead, and said to them, 
 'Blessed be ye 3 by Jehovah, that ye have 
 shewed this kindness to your lord, even to 
 Saul, and have buried him. 
 
 6 And now * Jehovah shew kindness and 
 *faithfulness to you : and I also will requite 
 you this kindness, because ye have done 
 this thing. 
 
 7 Therefore now let your hands be strength- 
 ened, and tbe ye valiant : for your master 
 Saul is dead, and also the house of Judah 
 have anointed me king over them. 
 
 8 f But *Abner the son of Ner, captain 
 of tSaul's host, took ||Ish-bosheth the son 
 of Saul, and brought him over to Maha- 
 naim; 
 
 9 And made him king over Gilead, and 
 over the Ashurites, and over Jezreel, and 
 over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and 
 over all Israel. 
 
 10 Ish-bosheth, Saul's son was forty years 
 old when he began to reign over Israel, 
 and reigned two years: but the house of 
 Judah followed David. 
 
 11 And Hhe ttime that David was king 
 in Hebron, over the house of Judah, was 
 seven years and six months. 
 
 12 f And Abner the son of Ner, and the 
 servants of Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, 
 went out from Mahanaim to 'Gibeon. 
 
 IS And Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the 
 servants of David went out, and met t 5 them 
 by m the pool of Gibeon : and they sat down, 
 the one on the one side of the pool, and the 
 other on the other side of the pool. 
 
 14 And Abner said to Joab, Let the young 
 men now arise, and play before us. And 
 Joab said, Let them arise. 
 
 15 Then there arose, and went over by 
 number, twelve of Benjamin, 6 who belong- 
 ed to Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, and 
 twelve of the servants of David. 
 
 16 And they caught "each one his fellow 
 by the head, and thrust his sword in his 
 fellow's side : so they fell down together : 
 wherefore that place was called ||Helkath- 
 hazzurim, which is in Gibeon. 
 
 17 And there was a very 8 fierce battle 
 that day ; and Abner was beaten, and the 
 men of Israel, before the servants of David. 
 
 18 f And there were "three sons of Ze- 
 ruiah there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel :

 and Asahel was "as light of foot as "an 
 antelope of the field. 
 
 19 And Asahel pursued after Abner; 
 and in going he turned not to the right 
 hand nor to the left tfrom following Abner. 
 
 20 Then Abner looked behind him, and 
 said, Art thou Asahel? And he answered, 
 I am. 
 
 21 And Abner said to him, Turn thee 
 aside to thy right hand or to thy left, and 
 lay thee hold on one of the young men, 
 and take 10 for thyself his "spoil. But Asa- 
 hel would not turn aside from foil owing him . 
 
 22 And Abner said again to Asahel, Turn 
 thee aside from following me : wherefore 
 should I smite thee to the ground? how 
 then 12 could I hold up my face to Joab thy 
 brother ? 
 
 23 13 But he refused to turn aside: where- 
 fore Abner with the hinder end of the spear 
 smote him 'under the fifth rib, 14 and the 
 spear came out behind him ; and he fell 
 down there, and died in the same place : 
 and it came to pass, that as many as came 
 to the place where Asahel fell down and 
 died, stood still. 
 
 24 Joab also and Abishai pursued after 
 Abner: and the sun went down when they 
 were come to the hill of Ammah, that lieth 
 before Giah, by the way of the "waste re- 
 gion of Gibeon. 
 
 25 If And the children of Benjamin ga- 
 thered themselves together after Abner, 
 and became one 16 band, and stood on the 
 top of a hill. 
 
 26 Then Abner called to Joab, and said, 
 Shall the sword devour for ever ? knowest 
 thou not that it will be bitterness in the 
 latter end ? how long shall it be then ere 
 thou bid the people return from following 
 their brethren ? 
 
 27 And Joab said, As God liveth, unless 
 thou hadst spoken, surely then tin the 
 morning the people had j|gone up every one 
 from following his brother. 
 
 28 So Joab blew a trumpet, and all the 
 people stood still, and pursued after Israel 
 no more, neither fought they any more. 
 
 29 And Abner and his men walked all 
 that night through the plain, and passed 
 over Jordan, and went through all Bith- 
 ron, and they came to Mahanaim. 
 
 30 And Joab returned from following 
 Abner : and when he had gathered all the 
 people together, there lacked of David's 
 servants nineteen men, and Asahel. 
 
 31 But the servants of David had smit- 
 ten of Benjamin, and of Abner's men, so 
 that three hundred and threescore men 
 died. 
 
 32 1[ And they took up Asahel, and buried 
 him in the sepulchre of his father, which 
 was in Beth-lehem. And Joab and his 
 men went all night, and they came to He- 
 bron at break of day. 
 
 CHAPTER III. 
 
 1 During the war David still becometh stronger. 2 
 Six sons were born to him in Hebron. 6 Abner, 
 displeased with Ish-bosheth, 12 revolteth to David. 
 13 David requireth a condition to bring him his 
 wife Michal. 17 Abner, having communed with 
 the Israelites, is feasted by David, and dismissed. 
 22 Joab, returning from battle, is displeased with 
 the king, and killeth Abner. 28 David curseth 
 Joab, 31 and mourneth for Abner. 
 
 NOW there was long war between the 
 house of Saul and the house of David : 
 
Abner revolleth to David. 
 
 but David 'became stronger and stronger, 
 and the house of Saul 2 became weaker and 
 weaker. 
 
 2 If And "to David were sons born in He- 
 bron : and his first-born was Amnon, 'of 
 Ahinoam the Jezreelitess ; 
 
 3 And his second, ||Chileab, of Abigail 
 the wife of Nabal the Carmelite ; and the 
 third, Absalom the son of Maacah, the 
 daughter of Talmai king 'of Geshur ; 
 
 4 And the fourth, d Adonijah the son of 
 Haggith; and the fifth, Shephatiah the son 
 of Abital ; 
 
 5 And the sixth, Ithream, by Eglah, 3 a 
 wife of David. These were born to Da- 
 vid in Hebron. 
 
 6 If And it came to pass, while there was 
 war between the house of Saul and the 
 house of David, that Abner made himself 
 strong for the house of Saul. 
 
 7 And Saul had a concubine, whose name 
 was 'Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah : and 
 Ish-bosheth said to Abner, Wherefore hast 
 thou ■'gone in to my father's concubine ? 
 
 8 Then was Abner very "angry for the 
 words of Ish-bosheth, and said, Am I s l\ 
 dog's head, who against Judah do shew 
 kindness this day to the house of Saul thy 
 father, to his brethren, and to his friends, 
 and have not delivered thee into the hand 
 of David that thou chargest me to-day 
 with a fault concerning this woman ? 
 
 9 *So do God to Abner, and more also, 
 except, 'as Jehovah hath sworn to David, 
 even so I do to him ; 
 
 10 To transfer the kingdom from the 
 house of Saul, and to set up the throne of 
 David over Israel and over Judah, 'from 
 Dan even to Beer-sheba. 
 
 11 And he could not answer Abner a 
 word again, because he feared him. 
 
 12 If And Abner sent messengers to Da- 
 vid on his behalf, saying, Whose is the 
 land ? saying also, Make thy league with 
 me, and behold, my hand shall be with thee, 
 to bring about all Israel to thee. 
 
 13 If And he said, Well ; I will make a 
 league with thee : but one thing I require of 
 thee, tthat is, 'Thou shalt not see my face, 
 except thou first bring m Michal, Saul's 
 daughter, when thou comest to see my face. 
 
 14 And David sent messengers to Ish- 
 bosheth, Saul's son, saying, Deliver me my 
 wife Michal, whom 1 6 betrothed to 'myself 
 "for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines. 
 
 15 And Ish-bosheth sent and took her 
 from her husband, even from "Phaltiel the 
 son of Laish. 
 
 16 And her husband went with her talong 
 weeping behind her to p Bahurim. Then 
 said Abner to him, Go, return. And he 
 returned. 
 
 17 If And Abner had "conversation with 
 the elders of Israel, saying, Ye sought for 
 David tin times past to be king over you : 
 
 18 Now then do it: 'for Jehovah hath 
 spoken of David, saying, By the hand of 
 my servant David I will save my people 
 Israel out of the hand of the Philistines, 
 and out of the hand of all their enemies. 
 
 19 And Abner also spoke in the ears of 
 'Benjamin : and Abner went also to speak 
 in the ears of David in Hebron all that 
 seemed good to Israel, and that seemed 
 good to the whole house of Benjamin. 
 
 20 So Abner came to David to Hebron,

 He is slain by Joab. 
 
 and twenty men with him : and David 
 made Abner, and the men that were with 
 him, a feast. 
 
 21 And Abner said to David, I will arise 
 and go, and 'will gather all Israel to my 
 lord the king, that they may make a league 
 with thee, and that thou mayest 'reign over 
 all that thy heart desireth. And David 
 sent Abner away ; and he went in peace. 
 
 22 If And behold, the servants of David 
 and Joab came from pursuing a troop, and 
 brought in a great spoil with them : but 
 Abner was not with David in Hebron ; for 
 he had sent him away, and he was gone in 
 peace. 
 
 23 When Joab and all the host that was 
 with him were come, they told Joab, say- 
 ing, Abner the son of Ner came to the 
 king, and he hath sent him away, and he is 
 gone in peace. 
 
 24 Then Joab came to the king, and said, 
 What hast thou done? behold, Abner 
 came to thee ; why is it that thou hast sent 
 him away, and he is quite gone ? 
 
 25 Thou knowest Abner the son of Ner, 
 that he came to deceive thee, and to know 
 "thy going out and thy coming in, and to 
 know all that thou doest. 
 
 26 And when Joab was come out from 
 David, he sent messengers after Abner, 
 who brought him again from the well of 
 Sirah : but David knew it not. 
 
 27 And when Abner was returned to 
 Hebron, Joab x took him aside in the gate 
 to speak with him || 9 privately, and smote 
 him there Sunder the fifth rib ' so' that he 
 died, for the blood of *Asahel his brother. 
 
 28 Tf And afterward when David heard 
 it, he said, I and my kingdom are guiltless 
 before Jehovah for ever from the tblood 
 of Abner the son of Ner : 
 
 29 "Let it rest on the head of Joab, and 
 on all his father's house ; and let there not 
 tfail from the house of Joab one 'that hath 
 an issue, or that is a leper, or that leaneth 
 on a staff, or that falleth on the sword, or 
 that lacketh bread. 
 
 30 So Joab and Abishai his brother slew 
 Abner, because he had slain their brother 
 "Asahel at Gibeon in the battle. 
 
 31 ^f And David said to Joab, and to all 
 the people that were with him, "Tlend your 
 clothes, and 'gird "yourselves with sack- 
 cloth, and mourn before Abner. And king 
 David himself followed the tbier. 
 
 32 And they buried Abner in Hebron : 
 and the king lifted up his voice and wept 
 at the grave of Abner; and all the people 
 wept. 
 
 33 And the king lamented over Abner, 
 and said, Died Abner as a -fool dieth ? 
 
 34 Thy hands were not bound, nor thy 
 feet put into fetters : as a man falleth be- 
 fore twicked men, so "didst thou fall. And 
 all the people wept again over him. 
 
 35 And when all the people came s to 
 cause David to eat 12 food while it was yet 
 day, David swore, saying, 'So do God to 
 me, and more also, if I taste bread or I3 any 
 thing else, 'till the sun be down. 
 
 36 And all the people took notice of it, 
 and it tpleased them : as whatever the 
 king did pleased all the people. 
 
 37 For all the people and all Israel un-

Ish-bosheth murdered. 
 
 38 And the king said to his servants,

 great man fallen this day in Israel ? 
 
 39 And I am this day tweak, though anoint- 
 ed king j and these men the sons of Ze- 
 ruiah *'we too hard for me. 'Jehovah shall

 wickedness. 
 
 CHAPTER IV. 
 
 1 The Israelites being troubled at the death of Ab- 
 ner, 2 Baanah and Rechab slay Ish-bosheth, and 
 bring his head to Hebron. 9 David causeth them 
 to be slain, and Ish-bosheth's head to be buried. 
 
 AND when Saul's son heard that Abner 
 was dead in Hebron, "his hands were 
 feeble, and all the Israelites were 'troubled. 
 
 2 And Saul's son had two men that were 
 captains of 'troops : the name of the one was 
 Baanah, and the name of the tother Rechab, 
 the sons of Rimmon a Beerothite, of the 
 children of Benjamin : (for c Beeroth also 
 was reckoned to Benjamin : 
 
 3 And the Beerothites fled to d Gittaim, 
 and were sojourners there until this day.) 
 
 4 And 'Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son 
 that was lame 2 in the feet: he was five 
 years old when the tidings came of Saul 
 and Jonathan / out of Jezreel, and his nurse 
 took him up, and fled : and it came to pass, 
 as she made haste to flee, that he fell, and 
 became lame. And his name was ||Mephi- 
 bosheth. 
 
 5 And the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, 
 Rechab and Baanah, went, and came about 
 the heat of the day to the house of Ish- 
 bosheth, 3 and he lay on a bed at noon. 
 
 6 And they came thither into the midst 
 of the house, 4 to carry away wheat ; and 
 they smote him s under the fifth rib: 
 and Rechab and Baanah his brother es- 
 caped. 
 
 7 For when they came into the house, he 
 lay on his bed in his bedchamber, and they 
 smote him, and slew him, and beheaded 
 him, and took his head, and Vent away 
 through the plain all night. 
 
 8 And they brought the head of Ish- 
 bosheth to David to Hebron, and said to 
 the king, Behold the head of Ish-bosheth 
 the son of Saul thine enemy, "who sought thy 
 life ; and Jehovah hath avenged my lord 
 the king this day 7 on Saul and *on his seed. 
 
 9 ^f And David answered Rechab and 
 Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon 
 the Beerothite, and said to them, As Je- 
 hovah liveth, 'who hath redeemed 9 me out 
 of all ,0 trouble, 
 
 10 When *one told me, saying, Behold, 
 Saul is dead, (tthinking to have brought 
 good tidings,) I took hold of him, and slew 
 him in Ziklag, ||who thought that I would 
 have given him a reward for his tidings : 
 
 11 How much more, when wicked men 
 have slain "an innocent person in his own 
 house upon his bed ? shall I not therefore 
 now 'require his blood 12 at your hand, and 
 take you away from the earth ? 
 
 12 And David "commanded his young 
 men, and they slew them, and cut off their 
 hands and their feet, and hanged them up 
 over the pool in Hebron. But they took 
 the head of Ish-bosheth, and buried it in 
 the "sepulchre of Abner in Hebron.

 David made king over all Israel, 
 
 the Jebusites dwelleth in it. 11 Hiram sendeth 
 to David. 13 Eleven sons are born to him in Je- 
 rusalem. 17 David, directed by God, smiteth the 
 Philistines at Baal-perazim, 22 and again at the 
 mulberry-trees. 
 
 rpHEN "came all the tribes of Israel to 
 -■- David to Hebron, and spoke, saying, 
 Behold, fwe are thy bone and thy flesh. 
 
 2 Also in time past, when Saul was king 
 over us, Hhou wast he that leddest out and 
 broughtest in Israel : and Jehovah said to 
 thee, d Thou shalt feed my people Israel, 
 and thou shalt be a captain over Israel. 
 
 3 e So all the elders of Israel came to the 
 king to Hebron ; 'and king David made a 
 'covenant with them in Hebron *before 
 Jehovah: and they anointed David king 
 over Israel. 
 
 4 U David was thirty years old when he 
 began to reign, ''and he reigned forty years. 
 
 5 In Hebron he reigned over Judah "seven 
 years and six months: and in Jerusalem 
 he reigned thirty and three years over all 
 Israel and Judah. 
 
 6 U And the king and his men went *to 
 Jerusalem to 'the Jebusites the inhabitants 
 of the land : who spoke to David, saying, 
 Except thou take away the blind and the 
 lame, thou shalt not come in hither : ||think- 
 ing, David cannot come in hither. 
 
 7 2 But David took the 3 fortress of Zion : 
 "the same is the city of David. 
 
 8 And David said on that day, Who- 
 ever *reacheth the gutter, and smiteth the 
 Jebusites, and the lame and the blind, that 
 are 6 enemies of David's 6 life, "he shall be 
 chief and captain. |] Wherefore they said, 
 The blind and the lame shall not come 
 into the house. 
 
 9 So David dwelt in the 'fortress, and 
 called it, "The city of David. And David 
 built round about from Millo and inward. 
 
 10 And David twent on, and grew great, 
 and Jehovah God of hosts was with nim. 
 
 11 If And y Hiram king of Tyre sent mes- 
 sengers to David, and cedar-trees, and 
 carpenters, and tmasons : and they built 
 David a house. 
 
 12 And David perceived that Jehovah 
 had established him king over Israel, and 
 that he had exalted his kingdom for his 
 people Israel's sake. 
 
 13 ^f And 'David took him more concu- 
 bines and wives out of Jerusalem, after he 
 was come from Hebron : and there were 
 yet sons and daughters born to David. 
 
 14 And 'these "are the names of those that 
 were born to him in Jerusalem; ||Sham- 
 muah, and Shobab, and Nathan, and So- 
 lomon, 
 
 15 Ibhar also, and ||Elishua, and Nepheg, 
 and Japhia, 
 
 16 And Elishama, and ||Eliada, and Eli- 
 phalet. 
 
 17 U 'But when the Philistines heard that 
 they had anointed David king over Israel, 
 all the Philistines came up to seek David; 
 and David heard of it, 'and went down to 
 the 9 fortress. 
 
 18 The Philistines also came and spread 
 themselves in "the valley of Rephaim. 
 
 19 And David 'inquired of Jehovah, say- 
 ing, Shall I go up to the Philistines ? wilt 
 thou deliver them into my hand ? And Je- 
 hovah said toDayid,Go up: for I will 10 sure- 
 ly deliver the Philistines into thy hand. 
 
The ark brought from Kirjath-jearim. CHAPTERS VI. VII. 
 
 David danceth before it. 
 
 20 And David came to "Baal-perazim, 
 and David smote them there, and said, 
 Jehovah hath "burst forth upon mine 
 enemies before me, 12 like the I3 bursting of 
 waters. Therefore he called the name of 
 that place ||Baal-perazim. 
 
 21 And there they left their images, and 
 David and his men z 14 took them away. 
 
 22 If "And the Philistines came up vet 
 again, and spread themselves in the valley 
 of Rephaim. 
 
 23 And when 'David' inquired of Jeho- 
 vah, he said, Thou shalt not go up : but 
 fetch a compass behind them, and come 
 upon them over against the mulberry -trees. 
 
 24 And let it be, when thou Nearest the 
 sound of a I5 marching in the tops of the mul- 
 berry-trees, that then thou shalt bestir thy- 
 self: for then ''shall Jehovah go out before 
 thee, to smite the host of the Philistines. 
 
 25 And David did so as Jehovah had 
 commanded him ; and smote the Philistines 
 from 'Geba until thou-comest to 'Gazer. 
 
 CHAPTER VI. 
 
 1 David fetcheth the ark from Kirjath-jearim on a 
 new cart. 6 Uzzah is smitten at Perez-uzzah. 
 9 God blesseth Obed-edom for the ark. 12 David 
 bringing the ark into Zion with sacrifices, danceth 
 before it, for which Michal despiseth him. 17 He 
 placeth it in a tabernacle with great joy and feast- 
 ing. 20 Michal reproving David for his religious 
 joy is childless to her death. 
 
 AGAIN, David gathered together all the 
 chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand. 
 
 2 And "David arose, and went with all 
 the people that were with him from ||Baale 
 of Judah, to bring up from thence the arjc 
 of God, ||whose name is called by the 
 name of Jehovah of hosts 'that dwelleth 
 between the cherubim. 
 
 3 And they tset the ark of God c upon a 
 new cart, and brought it out of the house 
 of Abinadab that was in ||Gibeah: and 
 Uzzah and Ahio the sons of Abinadab 
 drove the new cart. 
 
 4 And they brought it out of d the house 
 of Abinadab, which was at Gibeah, tac- 
 companying the ark of God: and Ahio 
 went before the ark. 
 
 5 And David and all the house of Israel 
 played before Jehovah on all 'kinds of in- 
 struments made o/*fir-wood, even on harps, 
 and on psalteries, and on 2 tabrets, and on 
 3 timbrels, and on cymbals. 
 
 6 % And when they came to 'Nachon's 
 threshing-floor, Uzzah 'put forth his hand 
 to the ark of God, and took hold of it: for 
 the oxen 4 kicked. 
 
 7 And the anger of Jehovah was kindled 
 against Uzzah, and ff God smote him there 
 for his || 6 fault; and there he died by the 
 ark of God. 
 
 8 And David was displeased, because 
 Jehovah had tmade 6 an assault upon Uz- 
 zah : and he called the name of the place 
 UPerez-uzzah to this day. 
 
 9 And *David was afraid of Jehovah 
 that day, and said, How shall the ark of 
 Jehovah come to me ? 
 
 10 So David would not remove the ark 
 of Jehovah to him into the city of David : 
 but David carried it aside into the house of 
 Obed-edom 'the Gittite. 
 
 11 *And the ark of Jehovah 7 abode in the 
 house of Obed-edom the Gittite three 
 months : and Jehovah 'blessed Obed-edom 
 and all his household.

 12 fl And it was told king David, saying, 
 Jehovah hath blessed the nouse of Obed- 
 edom, and all that 8 belongeth to him, be- 
 cause of the ark of God. m So David went 
 and brought up the ark of God from the 
 house of Obed-edom into the city of Da- 
 vid with gladness. 
 
 13 And it was so, that when "they that 
 bore the ark of Jehovah had gone six 
 paces, he sacrificed "oxen and fathngs. 
 
 14 And David 'danced before Jehovah 
 with all his might ; and David was girded 
 'with a linen ephod. 
 
 15 r So David and all the house of Israel 
 brought up the ark of Jehovah with shout- 
 ing, and with the sound of the trumpet. 
 
 16 And 'as the ark of Jehovah came into 
 the city of David, Michal, Saul's daugh- 
 ter, looked * forth' through a window, and 
 saw king David leaping and dancing be- 
 fore Jehovah; and she despised him in 
 her heart. 
 
 17 If And 'they brought in the ark of Jeho- 
 vah, and set it in "its place, in the midst 
 of the 9 tent that David had tpitched for it : 
 and David goffered burnt-offerings and 
 '"thank-offerings before Jehovah. 
 
 18 And as soon as David had made an 
 end of offering burnt-offerings and "thank- 
 offerings, y he blessed the people in the 
 name of Jehovah of hosts. 
 
 19 *And he 12 divided among all the peo- 
 ple, even among the whole multitude of 
 Israel, as well to the women as men, to 
 every one a cake of bread, and a "mea- 
 sure of wine, and a "cake of raisins. So 
 all the people departed 15 each one to his 
 house. 
 
 20 ^ "Then David returned to bless his 
 household. And Michal the daughter of 
 Saul came out to meet David, and said, 
 How glorious was the king of Israel to- 
 day, who ^uncovered himself to-day in the 
 eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as 
 one of the ''"worthless fellows || "quite un- 
 covereth himself ! 
 
 21 And David said to Michal, It was be- 
 fore Jehovah, d who chose me "rather than 
 thy father, and "rather than all his house, 
 to appoint me 20 prince over the people of 
 Jehovah, over Israel: therefore will I 
 21 sport before Jehovah. 
 
 22 And I will be yet more lightly es- 
 teemed than this, and humble in mine own 
 eyes; yet ||of the maid-servants whom 
 thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be 
 had in honour. 
 
 23 Therefore Michal the daughter of 
 Saul had no child e to the day of her death. 
 
 CHAPTER VII. 
 
 1 Nathan first approving the purpose of David to 
 build God a house, 4 after by the word of God for- 
 biddeth him. 12 He promiseth him benefits and 
 blessings in his seed. 18 David's prayer and 
 thanksgiving. __ 
 
 AND it came to pass, "when the king 
 'was settled in his house, and Jehovah 
 had given him rest round about from all 
 his enemies, 
 
 2 That the king said to Nathan the pro- 
 phet, See now, I dwell in *a house of cedar, 
 "but the ark of God dwelleth within ''cur- 
 tains. 
 
 3 And Nathan said to the king, Go, do 
 all that is "in thy heart: for Jehovah is 
 with thee. 
 
 229 
 
God's promises to David. 
 
 4 ^f And it came to pass that night, that 
 the word of Jehovah came to Nathan, 
 saying, _ 
 
 5 Go and tell tmy servant David Thus 
 saith Jehovah, /Shalt thou build me a 
 house for me to dwell in ? 
 
 6 Whereas I have not dwelt in any house 
 *since the time that I brought up the child- 
 ren of Israel out of Egypt, even to this 
 day, but have walked in *a tent and in a 
 tabernacle. 
 
 7 In all the places wherein I have 'walk- 
 ed with all the children of Israel spoke I 
 a word with ||any of the tribes of Israel, 
 whom I commanded *to feed my people 
 Israel, saying, Why build ye not me a 
 house of cedar ? 
 
 8 Now therefore, so shalt thou say to my 
 servant David, Thus saith Jehovah of 
 hosts, ^1 took thee from the ^pasture, tfrom 
 following the sheep, to be 3 prince over my 
 people, over Israel: 
 
 9 And m I was with thee whithersoever 
 thou wentest, "and have cut oft" all thine 
 enemies tout of thy sight, and have made 
 thee "a great name, like the name of the 
 great men that are in the earth. 
 
 10 Moreover, I will appoint a place for 
 my people Israel, and will 7 plant them, 
 that they may dwell in a place of their own, 
 and 4 be disquieted no more ; 'neither shall 
 the children of wickedness afflict them any 
 more as 5 before. 
 
 11 And as r since the time that I com- 
 manded judges to be over my people Is- 
 rael, and have 'caused thee to rest from all 
 thine enemies. Also Jehovah telleth thee 
 'that he will make thee a house. 
 
 12 1T And "when thy days be fulfilled, 
 and thou *shalt 6 lie down with thy fathers, 
 ^1 will 'raise up thy seed after thee, who 
 shall proceed s from thee, and I will estab- 
 lish his kingdom. 
 
 13 z He shall build a house for my name, 
 and I will "establish the throne of his 
 kingdom for ever. 
 
 14 *I will be his father, and he shall be 
 my son. c If he 9 be perverse, I will chasten 
 him with the rod of men, and with the 
 stripes of the children of men : 
 
 15 But my '"kindness shall not depart 
 away from him, d as I took it from Saul, 
 whom I put away before thee. 
 
 16 And 'thy house and thy kingdom shall 
 be "steadfast for ever before thee : thy 
 throne shall be established for ever. 
 
 17 According to all these words, and ac- 
 cording to all this vision, so did Nathan 
 speak to David. 
 
 18 Tf Then went king David in, and sat 
 before Jehovah, and he said, ^Who am I, 
 O 12 Lord Jehovah ? and what is my house, 
 that thou hast brought me 13 thus far ? 
 
 19 And this was yet a small thing in thy 
 sight, Lord Jehovah; &but thou hast 
 spoken also of thy servant's house for a 
 great while to come. \A.nd is this the 
 t I4 usage of man, O Lord Jehovah ? 
 
 20 And what can David say more to thee ? 
 for thou, Lord Jehovah, 'knowest thy ser- 
 vant. 
 
 21 For thy word's sake, and according to 
 thine own heart, hast thou done all these 
 great things, to 15 teach thy servant 16 . 
 
 22 Wherefore 'thou art great, O Jehovah 
 God : for 'there is "no one like thee, nei-

 David' 's prayer and thanksgiving. 
 
 ther is there any God 18 except thee, ac-

 ears. 
 
 23 And "what one nation in the earth is 
 like thy people, even like Israel, whom 
 God went to redeem for a" people to 
 himself, and to make him a name, and to 
 do for you great things and terrible, for 
 thy land, before "thy people which thou 
 redeemedst to thee from Egypt, from the 
 nations and their gods ? 
 
 24 For "thou hast' confirmed to thyself 
 thy people Israel to be a people to thee for 
 ever : ? and thou, Jehovah, >9 didst become 
 their God. 
 
 25 And now, O Jehovah God, the word 
 that thou hast spoken concerning thy ser- 
 vant, and concerning his house, establish 
 it for ever, and do as thou hast said. 
 
 26 And let thy name be magnified for ever, 
 saying, Jehovah of hosts is the God over 
 Israel: and let the house of thy servant 
 David be established before thee. 
 
 27 For thou, O Jehovah of hosts, God of 
 Israel, hast trevealed to thy servant, say- 
 ing, I will build thee a house: therefore 
 hath thy servant found in his heart to pray 
 this prayer to thee. 
 
 28 And now, O Lord Jehovah, thou art 
 that God, and 'thy words ro are true, and 
 thou hast promised this goodness to thy 
 servant : 
 
 29 Therefore now tlet it please thee to 
 bless the house of thy servant, that it may 
 continue for ever before thee : for thou, 
 Lord Jehovah, hast spoken it : and with 
 thy blessing let the house of thy servant be 
 blessed 'for ever. 
 
 CHAPTER VIII. 
 
 1 David subduetk the Philistines and the Moabites. 
 3 He smiteth Hadadezer, and the Syrians. 9 Toi 
 sendetk Joram with presents to bless him. 1 1 The 
 presents and the spoil David dedicateth to God. 
 14 He putteth garrisons in Edom. 16 David's 
 officers. 
 
 AND "after this it came to pass, that 
 David smote the Philistines, and sub- 
 dued them : and David took ||Metheg-am- 
 mah out of the hand of the Philistines. 
 
 2 And 'he smote Moab, and measured 
 them with a line, casting them down to the 
 ground ; even with two lines measured he 
 to put to death, and with one full line to 
 keep alive. And so the Moabites 'became 
 David's servants, and d brought gifts. ■ 
 
 3 ^[ David smote also ||Hadadezer, the 
 son of Rehob, king of 'Zobah, as he went 
 to recover ^his 'territory at the river Eu- 
 phrates. 
 
 4 And David took ||from him a thousand 
 Wchariots, and seven hundred horsemen, 
 and twenty thousand footmen : and David 
 ^hamstringed all the chariot-Aorses, but 
 reserved of them for a hundred chariots. 
 
 5 "And when the Syrians of Damascus 
 came to s help Hadadezer king of Zobah, 
 David slew of the Syrians two and twenty 
 thousand men. 
 
 6 Then David put garrisons in Syria of 
 Damascus : and the Syrians '"became ser- 
 vants to David, and brought gifts. *And 
 Jehovah preserved David 4 wheresoever 
 he went. 
 
 7 And David took the shields of gold 
 that were on the servants of Hadadezer, 
 and brought them to Jerusalem. 
 
David sendeth for Mephibosheth. 
 
 CHAPTERS IX. X. His ambassadors abused by Hanun: 
 
 8 And from ||Betah, and from j|Berothai, 
 cities of Hadadezer, king David took 5 a 
 great quantity of brass. 
 
 9 U When ||Toi king of Hamath heard 
 that David had smitten all the host of Ha- 
 dadezer, 
 
 10 Then Toi sent m Joram his son to king 
 David, tot 6 ask liiin concerning his welfare, 
 and to bless him, because he had fought 
 against Hadadezer, and smitten him: (for 
 Hadadezer thad war with Toi.) And Jo- 
 ram tbrought with him vessels of silver, 
 and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass : 
 
 11 Which also king David "did dedicate 
 to Jehovah, with the silver and gold that 
 he had dedicated of all nations whom he 
 subdued ; 
 
 12 Of Syria, and of Moab, and of the 
 children of Ammon, and of the Philistines, 
 and of Amalek, and of the spoil of Hada- 
 dezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah. 
 
 13 And David 'obtained fame when he 
 returned from tsmiting of the Syrians in 
 "the valley of salt, p \\being eighteen thou- 
 sand men. 
 
 14 Tf And he put garrisons in Edom; 
 throughout all Edom put he garrisons, and 
 9 all those of Edom became David's ser- 
 vants. "And Jehovah preserved David 
 8 wheresoever he went. 
 
 15 And David reigned over all Israel; 
 and David executed judgment and justice 
 to all his people. 
 
 16 'And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over 
 the host; and 'Jehoshaphat the son of 
 Ahilud was ||recorder ; 
 
 17 And "Zadok the son of Ahitub, and 
 Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, were the 
 priests ; and Seraiah was 9 ||scribe ; 
 
 18 *And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was 
 over both the "Cherethites and the Peleth- 
 ites ; and David's sons were Ifchief rulers. 
 
 CHAPTER IX. 
 
 1 David by Ziba sendeth for Mephibosheth. 7 For 
 Jonathan's sake he entertaineth him at his table, 
 and restoreth him all that was Saul's. 9 He 
 maketh Ziba his farmer. 
 
 AND David said, Is there yet any ' one' 
 that is left of the house of Saul, that 
 I may "shew him kindness for Jonathan's 
 sake ? 
 
 2 And there was of the house of Saul a 
 servant whose name was 'Ziba. And when 
 they had called him to David, the king 
 said to him, Art thou Ziba ? And he said, 
 Thy servant is he. 
 
 3 And the king said, Is there not yet any 
 'one' of the house of Saul, that I may 
 shew c the kindness of God to him ? And 
 Ziba said to the king, Jonathan hath yet a 
 son, who is d lame 'in his feet. 
 
 4 And the king said to him, Where is he ? 
 And Ziba said to the king, Behold, he is 
 in the house of 'Machir, the son of Am- 
 miel, in Lo-debar. 
 
 5 f Then king David sent, and 2 brought 
 him out of the house of Machir, the son 
 of Ammiel, from Lo-debar. 
 
 6 Now when ||Mephibosheth, the son of 
 Jonathan, the son of Saul, was come to 
 David, he fell on his face, and 3 made obei- 
 sance. And David said, Mephibosheth. 
 And he answered, Behold thy servant!

 8 And he bowed himself, and said, What 
 is thy servant, that thou shouldest look 
 upon such s a dead dog as I am? 
 
 9 If Then the king called to Ziba, Saul's 
 servant, and said to him, A I have given to 
 thy master's son all that pertained to Saul, 
 and to all his house. 
 
 10 Thou therefore, and thy sons, and thy 
 servants, shall till the land for him, and 
 thou shalt bring in the fruits that thy mas- 
 ter's son may have food to eat: but Me- 
 phibosheth thy master's son 'shall eat 6 food 
 continually at my table. Now Ziba had 
 'fifteen sons and twenty servants. 
 
 11 Then said Ziba to the king, According 
 to all that my lord the king hath command- 
 ed his servant, so shall thy servant do. As 
 for Mephibosheth, said the king, he shall 
 eat at my table, as one of the king's sons. 
 
 12 And Mephibosheth had a young son, 
 'whose name was Micha. And ail that 
 dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants 
 to Mephibosheth. 
 
 13 So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem: 
 m for he did eat continually at the king's 
 table ; and "was lame 6 in both his feet. 
 
 CHAPTER X. 
 
 1 David's messengers, sent to comfort Hanun the son 
 of Nahash, are villanously entreated. 6 The Am- 
 monites, strengthened by the Syrians, are overcome 
 by Joab and Abishai. 15 Shobach, making a new 
 supply of the Syrians at Helam, is slain by David. 
 
 AND it came to pass after this, that the 
 "king of the children of Ammon died, 
 and Hanun his son reigned in his stead . 
 
 2 Then said David, I will shew kindness 
 to Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father 
 shewed kindness to me. And David sent 
 to comfort him by the hand of his servants 
 for his father. And David's servants came 
 into the land of the children of Ammon. 
 
 3 'But the princes of the children of Am- 
 mon said to Hanun their lord, tThinkest 
 thou that David doth honour thy father, 
 that he hath sent comforters to thee ? hath 
 not David rather sent his servants to thee, 
 to search the city, and to spy it out, and 
 to overthrow it ? 
 
 4 Wherefore Hanun took David's ser- 
 vants, and shaved off" the one half of their 
 beards, and cut off their garments in the 
 middle, h even to their ?hips, and sent them 
 away. 
 
 5 When they told it to David, he sent to 
 meet them, because the men were greatly 
 ashamed. And the king said, Tarry at 
 Jericho until your beards be grown, and 
 then return. 
 
 6 If And when the children of Ammon 
 saw that they c3 were hateful before David, 
 the children of Ammon sent and hired "the 
 Syrians of Beth-rehob, and the Syrians of 
 Zobah, twenty thousand footmen, and of 
 king Maacha a thousand men, and of ||Ish- 
 tob twelve thousand men. 
 
 7 And when David heard of it , he sent 
 Joab, and all the host of the mighty men. 
 
 8 And the children of Ammon came out, 
 and put the battle in array at the entering 
 in of the gate : and •'the Syrians of Zobah 
 and of Rehob, and Ish-tob, and Maacah 
 were by themselves in the field. 
 
 9 When Joab saw that the front of the 
 
 231 
 
David's adultery with Uriah's wife. 
 
 battle was against him before and behind, 
 he chose of all the choice men of Israel, 
 and put them in array against the Syrians : 
 
 10 And the rest of the people he deliver- 
 ed into the hand of Abishai his brother, 
 that he might put them in array against 
 the children of Ammon. 
 
 11 And he said, If the Syrians be too 
 strong for me, then thou shalt help me : but 
 if the children of Ammon be too strong for 
 thee, then I will come and help thee. 
 
 12 fBe of good courage, and let us hi be 
 men for our people, and for the cities of 
 our God: and 'Jehovah do that which 
 seemeth ' to' him good. 
 
 13 And Joab drew nigh, and the people 
 that were with him, to the battle against 
 the Syrians : and they fled before him. 
 
 14 And when the children of Ammon 
 saw that the Syrians 5 had fled, then fled 
 they also before Abishai, and entered into 
 the city. So Joab returned from the child- 
 ren of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem. 
 
 15 ^f And when the Syrians saw that they 
 were smitten before Israel, they gathered 
 themselves together. 
 
 16 And Hadarezer sent, and brought out 
 the Syrians that were beyond ||the river : 
 and they came to Helam: and ||Shobach 
 the captain of the host of Hadarezer went 
 before them. 
 
 17 And when it was told David, he ga- 
 thered all Israel together, and passed over 
 Jordan, and came to Helam. And the Sy- 
 rians set themselves in array against Da- 
 vid, and fought with him. 
 
 18 And the Syrians fled before Israel; 
 and David slew the men of seven hundred 
 chariots of the Syrians, and forty thousand 
 'horsemen, and smote Shobach the captain 
 of their host, who died there. 
 
 19 And when all the kings that were ser- 
 vants to Hadarezer saw that they were 
 smitten before Israel, they made peace 
 with Israel, and 'served them. So the Sy- 
 rians feared to help the children of Am- 
 mon any more. 
 
 CHAPTER XI. 
 1 While Joab besieged Rabbah, David committeth 
 adultery with Bath-sheba. 6 Uriah, sent for by 
 David to cover the adultery, would not go home 
 neither sober nor drunken. 14 He carrieth to Joab 
 the letter of his death. 1 S Joab sendeth the news 
 thereof to David. 26 David taketh Bath-sheba to 
 wife. 
 
 AND it came to pass, tafter the year was 
 expired, at the time when kings go 
 forth to battle, that "David sent Joab, and 
 his servants with him, and all Israel ; and 
 they destroyed the children of Ammon, 
 and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried 
 still at Jerusalem. 
 
 2 If And it came to pass in 'the evening, 
 that David arose from 2 his bed, 'and walk- 
 ed upon the roof of the king's house : and 
 from the roof he c saw a woman 3 bathing 
 herself; and the woman was very beauti- 
 ful to look upon. 
 
 3 And David sent and inquired after the 
 woman. And one said, Is not this ||Bath- 
 sheba the daughter of ||Eliam, the wife d of 
 Uriah the Hittite ? 
 
 4 And David sent messengers and took 
 her : and she came in to him, and 'he lay 
 with her ; (||for she was 'purified from her 
 uncleanness :) and she returned to her 
 house.

 Uriah is slain in battle 
 
 5 And the woman conceived, and sent 
 and told David, and said, I am with child. 
 
 6 If And David sent to Joab, saying, 
 Send me Uriah the Hittite. And Joab 
 sent Uriah to David. 
 
 7 And when Uriah was come to him, 
 David 4 asked concerning the welfare of 
 Joab, and concerning the welfare of the 
 people, and how the war prospered. 
 
 8 And David said to Uriah, Go down to 
 thy house, and *wash thy feet. And Uriah 
 departed out of the king's house, and there 
 tfollowed him a mess of food from the king 
 
 9 But Uriah 6 lay down at the door of the 
 king's house with all the servants of his 
 lord, and went not down to his house. 
 
 10 And when they had told David, say- 
 ing, Uriah went not down to his house, 
 David said to Uriah, Camest thou not from 
 thy journey ? why then didst thou not go 
 down to thy house ? 
 
 11 And Uriah said to David, The ark, 
 and Israel, and Judah, abide in 'bootiis ; 
 and 'my lord Joab, and the servants of my 
 lord are encamped in the open fields ; shall 
 I then go into my house, to eat and to 
 drink, and to lie with my wife ? Jls thou 
 livest, 8 even as thou livest, I will not do 
 this thing. 
 
 12 And David said to Uriah, Tarry here 
 to-day also, and to-morrow I will let thee 
 depart. So Uriah abode in Jerusalem that 
 day and the morrow. 
 
 13 And when David had called him, he 
 did eat and drink before him ; and he made 
 him "drunk : and at 9 evening he went out 
 to lie on his bed 'with the servants of his 
 lord, but went not down to his house. 
 
 14 IT And it came to pass in the morning, 
 that David m wrote a letter to Joab, and 
 sent it by the hand of Uriah. 
 
 15 And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set 
 ye Uriah in the "front of the thottest bat- 
 tle, and retire ye tfrom him, that he may 
 "be smitten, and die. 
 
 16 And it came to pass, when Joab ob- 
 served the city, that he assigned Uriah to 
 a place where he knew that valiant men 
 were. 
 
 17 And the men of the city went out, 
 and fought with Joab : and there fell some 
 of the people of the servants of David ; 
 and Uriah the Hittite died also. 
 
 18 If Then Joab sent and "showed David 
 all the things concerning the war ; 
 
 19 And charged the messenger, saying, 
 When thou hast made an end of telling 
 ' all' the matters of the war to the king, 
 
 20 And if 12 it be so that the king's wrath 
 arise, and he say to thee, Wherefore ap- 
 proached ye so nigh to the city when ye 
 did fight ? knew ye not that they would 
 shoot from the wall ? 
 
 21 Who smote "Abimelech the son of 
 'Jerub-besheth ? did not a woman cast a 
 piece of 13 'an upper' mill-stone upon him 
 from the wall ' so' that he died in Thebez ? 
 why went ye nigh the wall? Then say 
 thou, Thy servant Uriah the Hittite is 
 dead also. 
 
 22 IT So the messenger went, and came 
 and shewed David all that Joab had sent 
 him for. 
 
 23 And the messenger said to David, 
 Surely the men prevailed against us, and 
 came out to us into the field, and we were 
 

 Nathan's parable of the ewe lamb. 
 
 upon them even to the entering of the 
 gate. 
 
 24 And the shooters shot from off the 
 wall "at thy servants : and some of the 
 king's servants is are dead, and thy servant 
 Uriah the Hittite is dead also. 
 
 25 Then David said to the messenger, 
 Thus shalt thou say to Joab, Let not this 
 thing tdisplease thee, for the sword de- 
 voureth tone as well as another: make thy 
 battle more strong against the city, and 
 overthrow it : and encourage thou him. 
 
 26 If And when the wife of Uriah heard 
 that Uriah her husband was dead, she 
 mourned for her husband. 
 
 27 And when the mourning was past, 
 David sent and "brought her to his house, 
 and she 'became his wife, and bore him a 
 son. But the thing that David had done 
 tdispleased Jehovah. 
 
 CHAPTER XII. 
 
 1 Nathan's parable of the ewe-lamb causeth David to 
 be his own judge. 7 David, reproved by Nathan, 
 confesseth his sin, and is pardoned. 15 David 
 mourneth and prayeth for the child, while it lived. 
 24 Solomon is born, and named Jedidiah. 26 Da- 
 vid taketh Rabbah, and tortureth the people thereof. 
 
 AND Jehovah sent Nathan to David. 
 And "he came to him, and fsaid to 
 him, There were two men in one city ; the 
 one rich, and the other poor. 
 
 2 The rich man had 'very many flocks 
 and herds : 
 
 3 But the poor man had nothing 2 except 
 one little ewe-lamb, which he had bought 
 and nourished up : and it grew up together 
 with him, and with his children ; it did eat 
 of his own 'morsel, and drank of his own 
 cup, and lay in his bosom, and was to him 
 as a daughter. 
 
 4 And there came a traveller to the rich 
 man, and he spared to take ' some'' of his 
 own flock and of his own herd, to dress 
 for the way-faring man that was come to 
 him ; but took the poor man's lamb, and 
 dressed it for the man that 6 had come to 
 him. 
 
 5 And David's anger was greatlykindled 
 against the man ; and he said to Nathan, 
 As Jehovah liveth, the man that hath done 
 this thing ||shall surely die. 
 
 6 And he shall restore the lamb 'four- 
 fold, because he did this thing, and be- 
 cause he had no pity. 
 
 7 If And Nathan said to David, Thou art 
 6 this man. Thus saith Jehovah God of 
 Israel, I d anointed thee king over Israel, 
 and I delivered thee from the hand of 
 Saul; 
 
 8 And I gave thee thy master's house, 
 and thy master's wives into thy bosom, 
 and gave thee the house of Israel and of 
 Judah ; and if that had been too little, I 
 would 7 also have given to thee such and 
 such things. 
 
 9 e Wherefore hast thou ^despised the 
 commandment of Jehovah, 8 by doing evil 
 in his sight? ff thou hast killed Uriah the 
 Hittite with the sword, and hast taken 
 his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him 
 with the sword of the children of Ammon. 
 
 10 Now therefore *the sword shall never 
 depart from thy house ; because thou hast 
 despised me, and hast taken the wife of 
 Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife. 
 
 11 Thus saith Jehovah, Behold I will

 12 For thou didst it secretly : *but I will 
 do this thing before all Israel, and before 
 the sun. 
 
 13 'And David said to Nathan, m I have 
 sinned against Jehovah. And Nathan said 
 to David, Jehovah also hath "put away thy 
 sin ; thou shalt not die. 
 
 14 9 Yet, because by this deed thou hast 
 given great occasion to the enemies of Je- 
 hovah 'to 10 revile, the child also that is 
 born to thee shall surely die. 
 
 15 1f And Nathan departed to his house. 
 And Jehovah struck the child that Uriah's 
 wife bore to David, and it was very sick. 
 
 16 David therefore besought God for the 
 child; and David tfasted, and went in, 
 and 'lay all night upon the earth. 
 
 17 And the elders of his house arose, and 
 went to him, to raise him up from the 
 earth: but he would not, neither did he 
 eat u food with them. 
 
 18 And it came to pass on the seventh 
 day, that the child died. And the servants 
 of David feared to tell him that the child 
 was dead: for they said, Behold, while the 
 child was yet alive, we spoke to him, and 
 he would not hearken to our voice : how 
 will he then tvex himself, if we tell him 
 that the child is dead ? 
 
 19 But when David saw that his servants 
 whispered ' among themselves,' David per- 
 ceived that the child was dead : therefore 
 David said to his servants, Is the child 
 dead ? And they said, He is dead. 
 
 20 Then David arose from the earth, and 
 12 bathed, and 'anointed himself, and chang- 
 ed his "garment, and came into the house 
 of Jehovah, and 'worshipped : then he 
 came to his own house ; and when he re- 
 quired, they set l4 food before him, and he 
 did eat. 
 
 21 Then said his servants to him, What 
 thing is this that thou hast done? thou 
 didst fast and weep for the child, while ii 
 was alive; but when the child was dead, 
 thou didst rise and eat I5 food. 
 
 22 And he said, While the child was yet 
 alive, I fasted, and wept: 'for I said, Who 
 can tell whether God will be "merciful to 
 me, that the child may live? 
 
 23 But now he is dead, "why should I 
 fast ? can I bring him back again ? I shall 
 go to him, but "he w will not return to me. 
 
 24 If And David comforted Bathsheba his 
 wife, and went in to her, and lay with her: 
 and *she bore a son, and y he called his 
 name Solomon : and Jehovah loved him. 
 
 25 And he sent by the hand of Nathan 
 the prophet; and he called his name ||Jedi- 
 diah, because of Jehovah. 
 
 26 IT And *Joab fought against "Rabbah 
 of the children of Ammon, and took the 
 royal city. 
 
 27 And Joab sent messengers to David, 
 and said, I have fought against Rabbah, 
 and have taken the city of waters. 
 
 28 Now therefore gather the rest of the 
 people together, and encamp against the 
 city, and take it: lest I take the city, and 
 lit be called l9 by my name. 
 
 29 And David gathered all the people 
 
 233

 together, and went to Rabbah, and fought 
 against it, and took it. 
 
 30 4 And he took their king's crown from 
 so his head, (the weight of which was a 
 talent of gold with the precious stones,) 
 and it was set on David's head. And he 
 brought forth the spoil of the city tin great 
 abundance. 
 
 31 And he brought forth the people that 
 were therein, and put them under saws 
 and under "threshing-sledges of iron, and 
 under axes of iron, and made them pass 
 through the brick-kiln: and thus did he to 
 all the cities of the children of Ammon. 
 So David and all the people returned to 
 Jerusalem. 
 
 CHAPTER XIII. 
 
 1 Amnon loving Tamar, by Jonadab's counsel feign- 
 ing himself sick, ravisheth her. 15 He hateth her, 
 and shamefully turneth her away. 19 Absalom 
 entertaineth her, and concealeth his purpose. 23 At 
 a sheep-shearing, among all the king's sons, he 
 killeth Amnon. 30 David grieving at the news is 
 comforted by Jonadab. 37 Absalom fleeth to Tal- 
 mai at Geshur. 
 
 AND it came to pass after this, "that 
 Absalom the son of David had a fair 
 sister, whose name was 'Tamar; and Am- 
 non the son of David loved her. 
 
 2 And Amnon was so 'grieved, that he 
 fell sick for his sister Tamar ; for she was 
 a virgin ; and tAmnon thought it difficult 
 for him to do any thing to her. 
 
 3 But Amnon had a friend, whose name 
 was Jonadab, c the son of Shimeah David's 
 brother: and Jonadab was a very 3 artful 
 man. 
 
 4 And he said to him, Why art thou, 4 
 the king's son, 'thus' tlean tfrom day to 
 day? wdt thou not tell me? And Amnon 
 said to him, I love Tamar, my brother Ab- 
 salom's sister. 
 
 5 And Jonadab said to him, 5 Lie down 
 on thy bed, and 6 feign thyself sick : and 
 when thy father cometh to see thee, say to 
 him, I pray thee, let my sister Tamar come, 
 and give me 7 food, and dress the 8 food in 
 my sight, that I may see it, and eat it 
 9 from her hand. 
 
 6 If So Amnon lay down, and 10 feigned 
 himself sick: and when the king was come 
 to see him, Amnon said to the king, I pray 
 thee, let Tamar my sister come, and ''make 
 me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I 
 may eat "from her hand. 
 
 7 Then David sent home to Tamar, say- 
 ing, Go now to thy brother Amnon's house, 
 and dress 12 food for him. 
 
 8 So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's 
 house ; and he was lain down. And she 
 took llflour, and kneaded it, and made 
 cakes in his sight, and did 18 fry the cakes. 
 
 9 And she toolc a ' frying'-pan, and poured 
 them out before him ; but he refused to eat. 
 And Amnon said, "Have out all men from 
 me. And they went out every man from 
 him. 
 
 10 And Amnon said to Tamar, Bring the 
 '"food into the chamber, that I may eat 
 ,5 from thy hand. And Tamar took the 
 cakes which she had made, and brought 
 them into the chamber to Amnon her 
 brother. 
 
 11 And when she had brought them to 
 him to eat, he 'took hold of her, and said 
 to her, Come lie with me, my sister. 
 
 12 And she answered him, "Nay, my bro-

 14 18 But he would not hearken to her 
 voice: but being stronger than she, '^hum- 
 bled her, and lay with her. 
 
 15 If Then Amnon hated her texceedingly; 
 so that the hatred wherewith he hated he r 
 was greater than the love wherewith he had 
 loved her. And Amnon said to her, Arise, 
 and be gone. 
 
 16 And she said to him, There is no 
 cause: this evil in sending me away is 
 greater than the other that thou didst to 
 me. But he would not hearken to her. 
 
 17 Then he called his servant 20 who wait- 
 ed on him, and said, Put now this tvoman 
 out from me, and bolt the door after her. 
 
 18 And she had ! a garment of 2l many 
 colours upon her: for with such robes 
 were the king's daughters that ivere vir-

 her out, and bolted the door after her. 
 
 19 If And Tamar put m ashes on her head, 
 and rent her garment of ^many colours 
 that was on her, and "laid her hand on her 
 head, and went on crying 'out.' 
 
 20 And Absalom her brother said to her, 
 Hath tAmnon thy brother been with thee ? 
 but hold now thy peace, my sister: he is 
 thy brother; tregard not this thing. So 
 Tamar remained tdesolate in her brother 
 Absalom's house. 
 
 21 1f But when king David heard of all 
 these things, he was very ^angry. 
 
 22 And Absalom spoke to his brother 
 Amnon "neither good nor bad : for Absa- 
 lom ^hated Amnon because he had 24 hum- 
 bled his sister Tamar. 
 
 23 ^f And it came to pass after two M 
 years, that Absalom 'had sheep-shearers 
 in Baal-hazor, which is 26 by Ephraim: and 
 Absalom invited all the king's sons. 
 
 24 And Absalom came to the king, and 
 said, Behold now, thy servant hath sheep- 
 shearers: let the king, I beseech thee, and 
 his servants go with thy servant. 
 
 25 And the king said to Absalom, Nay, 
 my son, let us not all now go, lest we 
 be 27 burdensome to thee. And he pressed 
 him: ^yet he would not go, but blessed 
 him. 
 
 26 Then said Absalom, If not, I pray 
 thee, let my brother Amnon go with us. 
 And the king said to him, Why should he 
 go with thee^ 1 
 
 27 But Absalom pressed him, 29 and he 
 sent Amnon and all the king's sons 30 with

 fear not : ||have not I commanded you ? be

 32 And "Jonadab, the son of Shimeah,

 38 So Absalom fled, and went to "Geshur, 
 and was there three years. 
 
 39 And *» king David || "pined to go forth 
 to Absalom : for he was 'comforted con- 
 cerning Amnon, seeing he was dead. 
 
 CHAPTER XIV. 
 
 1 Joab, suborning a widow of Tekoah, by a parable 
 to incline the king's heart to fetch home Absalom, 
 bringeth him to Jerusalem. 25 Absalom's beauty, 
 hair, and children. 28 After two years, Absalom 
 by Joab is brought into the king's presence. 
 
 NOW Joab the son of Zeruiah perceived 
 that the king's heart was "towards 
 Absalom. 
 
 2 And Joab sent to *Tekoah, and 'brought 
 thence a wise woman, and said to her, I 
 pray thee, feign thyself to be a mourner, 
 c and put on now mourning apparel, and 
 anoint not thyself with oil, but be as a 
 woman that had a long time mourned for 
 the dead: 
 
 3 And come to the king, and speak 2 in 
 this manner to him. So Joab ''put the 
 words in her mouth. 
 
 4 If And when the woman of Tekoah 
 spoke to the king, she 'fell on her face to 
 the ground, and did obeisance, and said, 
 t'Help, king. 
 
 5 And the king said to her, What aileth 
 thee? And she answered, e I am indeed a 
 widow woman, and my husband is dead. 
 
 6 And thy handmaid had two sons, and 
 they two strove together in the field, and 
 there was t 3 no one to part them, but the 
 one smote the other, and slew him. 
 
 7 And behold, ''the whole family is risen 
 against thy handmaid, and they said, De- 
 liver him that smote his brother, that we 
 may kill him, for the life of his brother 
 whom he slew; and we will destroy the 
 heir also: and so they 4 will quench my 
 coal which is left, and 5 will not leave to

 8 And the king said to the woman, Go to 
 thy house, and I will give charge concern- 
 ing thee. 
 
 9 And the woman of Tekoah said to the 
 king, My lord, O king, 'the iniquity be on 
 me, and on my father's house: *and the 
 king and his throne be guiltless. 
 
 10 And the king said, Whoever saith 
 s any thing to thee, bring him to me, and 
 he shall not touch thee any more. 
 
 11 Then said she, I pray thee, let the 
 king remember Jehovah thy God, tthat 
 thou wouldest not suffer 'the 9 avengers of 
 blood to destroy any more, lest they de- 
 stroy my son. And he said, m As Jehovah 
 liveth, there shall not one hair of thy son 
 fall to the earth. 
 
 12 Then the woman said, Let thy hand- 
 maid, I pray thee, speak one word to my 
 lord the king. And he said, Say on. 
 
 13 And the woman said, Wherefore then 
 hast thou l0 devised such a thing against 
 "the people of God? for the king doth 
 speak this thing as one who is "guilty, in 
 that the king doth not "bring home again 
 "his "outcast. 
 
 14 For we p must needs die, and are as 
 water "poured on the ground, which can- 
 not be gathered up again; ||neither doth 
 God respect any person : yet doth he 'de- 
 vise means that his 15 outcast be not expelled 
 from him. 
 
 15 Now therefore that I am come to speak 
 of this thing to my lord the king, it is be- 
 cause the people have made me afraid : and 
 thy handmaid said, I will now speak to the 
 king; it may be that the king will perform 
 the request of his handmaid. 
 
 16 For the king will hear, to deliver his 
 handmaid out of the hand of the man that 
 would destroy me and my son together out 
 of the inheritance of God. 
 
 17 Then thy handmaid said, The word 
 of my lord the king shall now be tcomfort- 
 able: for r as an angel of God, so is my lord 
 the king tt<? discern good and bad : there- 
 fore Jehovah thy God will be with thee. 
 
 18 Then the king answered and said to 
 the woman, Hide not from me, I pray thee, 
 the thing that I shall ask thee. And the 
 woman said, Let my lord the king now 
 speak. 
 
 19 And the king said, Is not the hand of 
 Joab with thee in all this ? And the wo- 
 man answered and said, As thy soul liveth, 
 my lord the king, none can turn to the 
 right hand or to the left from l6 any thing 
 that my lord the king hath spoken : for thy 
 servant Joab, he bade me, and 5 he put all 
 these words in the mouth of thy handmaid : 
 
 20 To "change the form of this thing hath 
 thy servant Joab done this thing : and my 
 lord is wise, 'according to the wisdom of 
 an angel of God, to know all things that 
 are on the earth. 
 
 21 If And the king said to Joab, Behold 
 now, I have done this thing : go therefore, 
 bring the young man Absalom again. 
 
 22 And Joab fell to the ground on his 
 face, and bowed himself, and "blessed the 
 king: and Joab said, To-day thy servant 
 knoweth that I have found "favour in thy 
 sight, my lord, O king, in that the king 
 hath fulfilled the request of "thy servant. 
 
 235 
 
•Absalom brought into the king's presence. II. SAMUEL. 
 
 23 So Joab arose "and went to Geshur, 
 and brought Absalom to Jerusalem. 
 
 24 And the king said, Let him turn to 
 his own house, and let him *not see my 
 face. So Absalom returned to his own 
 house, and saw not the king's face. 
 
 25 t tBut in all Israel there was none to 
 be so much praised as Absalom for his 
 beauty : "from the sole of his foot even to 
 the crown of his head there was no blemish 
 in him. 
 
 26 And when he 21 shaved his head, (for it 
 was at every year's end that he ^shaved it; 
 because the hair was heavy on him, there- 
 fore he ^shaved it;) he weighed the hair 
 of his head at two hundred shekels M ac- 
 cording to the king's weight. 
 
 27 And *to Absalom there were born 
 three sons, and one daughter, whose name 
 was Tamar: she was a woman of a fair 
 countenance. 
 
 28 If So Absalom dwelt two M years in 
 Jerusalem, "and saw not the king's face. 
 
 29 Therefore Absalom sent for Joab, to 
 have him sent to the king ; but he would 
 not come to him: and when he sent again 
 the second time, he would not come. 
 
 30 Therefore he said to his servants, See, 
 Joab's field is tnear mine, and he hath bar- 
 ley there ; go and set it on fire. And Ab- 
 salom's servants set the field on fire. 
 
 31 Then Joab arose, and came to Absa- 
 lom to his house, and said to him, Where- 
 fore have thy servants set my field on fire ? 
 
 32 And Absalom answered Joab, Behold, 
 I sent to thee, saying, Come hither, that I 
 may send thee to the king, to say, Where- 
 fore am I come from Geshur ? it had been 
 good for me to have been there still : now 
 therefore let me see the king's face ; and if 
 there be any iniquity in me, let him kill me. 
 
 33 So Joab came to the king, and told 
 him : and when he had called for Absalom, 
 he came to the king, and bowed himself on 
 his face to the ground before the king : and 
 the king 'kissed Absalom. 
 
 CHAPTER XV. 
 
 1 Absalom, by fair speeches and courtesies, stealeth 
 the hearts of Israel. 7 Under pretence of a vow 
 he obtaineth leave to go to Hebron, 10 He maketh 
 there a great conspiracy. 13 David upon the news 
 fleeth from Jerusalem. 19 lttai would not leave 
 him. 24 Zadok and Abiathar are sent back with 
 the ark. 30 David and his company go up mount 
 Olivet weeping. 31 He curseth Ahithophel's coun- 
 sel. 32 Hushai is sent back with instructions. 
 
 AND °it came to pass after this, that 
 Absalom 'prepared him chariots and 
 horses, and fifty men to run before him. 
 
 2 And Absalom rose up early, and stood 
 beside the way of the gate : and it was so, 
 that when any man that had a controversy 
 tcame to the king for judgment, then Ab- 
 salom called to him, and said, Of what 
 city art thou ? And he said, Thy servant 
 is of one of the tribes of Israel. 
 
 3 And Absalom said to him, See, thy 
 matters are good and right; but \\there is no 
 man Appointed by the king to hear thee. 
 
 4 Absalom said moreover, 'Oh that I 
 were made judge in the land, that every 
 man who hath any suit or cause might 
 come to me, and I would do him justice ! 
 
 5 And it was so, that when any man 
 came nigh to him to 2 pay him obeisance, 
 he put forth his hand, and took him, and 
 kissed him.

 His dangerous conspiracy. 
 
 6 And in this manner did Absalom to all 
 Israel that came to the king for judgment: 
 d so Absalom stole the hearts of the men of 
 Israel. 
 
 7 If And it came to pass 'after forty years, 
 that Absalom said to the king, I pray thee, 
 let me go and pay my vow, which I have 
 vowed to Jehovah, in Hebron. 
 
 8 -Tor thy servant s vowed a vow 'while 
 I abode at Geshur in Syria, saying, If Je- 
 hovah shall bring me again indeed to Je- 
 rusalem, then I will serve Jehovah. 
 
 9 And the king said to him, Go in peace. 
 So he arose, and went to Hebron. 
 
 10 If But Absalom sent spies throughout 
 all the tribes of Israel, saying, As soon as 
 ye Jiear the sound of the trumpet, then ye 
 shall say, Absalom reigneth in Hebron. 
 
 11 And with Absalom went two hundred 
 men out of Jerusalem, that were 'called ; 
 and they went 'in their 3 innocence, and 
 they knew not any thing. 
 
 12 And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the 
 Gilonite, 'David's counsellor, from his city, 
 even from m Giloh, while he offered sacri- 
 fices. And the conspiracy was strong; 
 for the people "increased continually with 
 Absalom. 
 
 13 ^f And there came a messenger to Da- 
 vid, saying, "The hearts of the men of Is- 
 rael are alter Absalom. 
 
 14 And David said to all his servants 
 that were with him at Jerusalem, Arise, 
 and let us f flee ; for we shall not else es- 
 cape from Absalom: make speed to de- 
 part, lest he overtake us suddenly, and 
 tbring evil upon us, and smite the city with 
 the edge of the sword. 
 
 15 And the king's servants said to the 
 king, Behold, thy servants are ready to do 
 whatever my lord the king shall 4 choose. 
 
 16 And 'the king went forth, and all his 
 household tafter him. And the king left 
 ten women who were concubines to keep 
 the house. 
 
 17 And the king went forth, and all the 
 people after him, and tarried in a place 
 that was far off. 
 
 18 And all his servants passed on beside 
 him; 'and all the Cherethites, and all the 
 Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hun- 
 dred men who came 5 with him from Gath, 
 passed on before the king. 
 
 19 i Then said the king to 'lttai the Git- 
 tite, Wherefore goest thou also with us ? re- 
 turn to thy place, and abide with the king ; 
 for thou art a stranger, and also an exile. 
 
 20 6 Thou earnest but yesterday, should I 
 this day make thee 'wander about with us? 
 seeing I go "whither I may; return thou, 
 and take back thy brethren : mercy and 
 truth be with thee. 
 
 21 And lttai answered the king, and 
 said, 'As Jehovah liveth, and as my lord 
 the king liveth, surely in what place my 
 lord the king shall be, whether 8 for death 
 or life, even there also will thy servant be. 
 
 22 And David said to lttai, Go and pass 
 over. And lttai the Gittite passed over, 
 and all his men, and all the little ones that 
 were with him. 
 
 23 And all the country wept with a loud 
 voice, and all the people passed over : the 
 king also himself passed over the brook 
 IIKidron, and all the people passed over, 
 towards the way of the y9 waste region. 
 
David Jketh from Jerusalem. 
 
 24 If And lo, Zadok also, and all the Le- 
 vites were with him, ^bearing the ark of the 
 covenant of God : and they set down the 
 ark of God ; and Abiathar went up, until 
 all the people had done passing out of the 
 city. 
 
 25 And the king said to Zadok, Carry 
 back the- ark of God into the city: if I 
 shall find favour in the 10 sight of Jehovah, 
 he "will bring me again, and shew me both 
 it, and his habitation : 
 
 26 But if he thus say, I have no Melight 
 in thee ; behold, here am I, 'let him do to 
 me as seemeth good to him. 
 
 27 The king said also to Zadok the priest, 
 Art not thou a ''seer ? return into the city 
 in peace, and 'your two sons with you, 
 Alnmaaz thy son, and Jonathan the son of 
 Abiathar. 
 
 28 See, ^1 will tarry in the "plains of the 
 ,2 waste region, until there come word from 
 you to "inform me. 
 
 29 Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried 
 the ark of God again to Jerusalem : and 
 they tarried there. 
 
 SO If And David went up by the ascent 
 of "the mount of Olives, tand wept as he 
 went up, and shad his head covered, and 
 he went "barefoot : and all the people that 
 u were with him 'covered every man his 
 head, and they went up, *weeping as they 
 went up. 
 
 31 ^f And one told David, saying, 'Ahi 
 thophel is among the conspirators with 
 Absalom. And David said, O Jehovah, I 
 pray thee, m turn the counsel of Ahithophel 
 into foolishness. 
 
 32 If And it came to pass, that when Da- 
 vid was come to the top of the mount, 
 where he worshipped God, behold, Hu- 
 shai the "Archite came to meet him "with 
 his 16 garment rent, and earth upon his head . 
 
 33 To whom David said, If thou passest 
 on with me, then thou "wilt be p a burden 
 to me: 
 
 34 But if thou return to the city, and 
 say to Absalom, «I will be thy servant, O 
 king ; as I have been thy father's servant 
 hitherto, so will I now also be thy servant: 
 then mayest thou for me defeat the coun- 
 sel of Ahithophel. 
 
 35 And hast thou not there with thee Za- 
 dok and Abiathar the priests ? therefore it 
 shall be, that "whatever thou shalt hear 
 out of the king's house, thou shalt -tell it 
 to Zadok and Abiathar the priests. 
 
 36 Behold, they have there "with them 
 their two sons, Ahimaaz, Zadok's son, and 
 Jonathan, Abiathar's son;^ and by them ye 
 shall send to me every thing that ye can 
 hear. 
 
 37 So Hushai, 'David's friend came into 
 the city, "and Absalom came into Jeru 
 salem.

 2 And the king said to Ziba, What mean- 
 est thou by these? And Ziba said, The 
 asses 2 are tor the king's household to ride 
 on; and the bread and summer fruit for 
 the young men to eat; and the wine, 'that 
 such as 3 are faint in the 4 waste region may 
 drink. 
 
 3 And the king said, And where is thy 
 master's son? d And Ziba said to the king, 
 Behold, he abideth at Jerusalem : for he 
 said, To-day 5 will the house of Israel re- 
 store me the kingdom of my father. 
 
 4 'Then said the king to Ziba, Behold, 
 thine are all that belonged to Mephibosh- 
 eth. And Ziba said, tl humbly beseech 
 thee that I may find 7 favour in thy sight, 
 my lord, O king. 
 
 5 If And when king David came to Ba- 
 hurim, behold, thence came out a man of 
 the family of the house of Saul, whose 
 name was -^Shimei, the son of Gera : ||he 
 came forth, and cursed still as he came.' 
 
 6 And he cast stones at David, and at all 
 the servants of king David : and all the 
 people and all the mighty men were on his 
 right hand and on his left. 
 
 7 And thus said Shimei when he cursed, 
 Come out, come out, thou tbloody man, 
 and thou s man of 6 wickedness : 
 
 8 Jehovah hath "returned upon thee all 
 'the blood of the house of Saul, in whose 
 stead thou hast reigned ; and Jehovah 
 hath delivered the kingdom into the hand 
 of Absalom thy son : and tbehold, thou art 
 taken in thy mischief, because thou art a 
 bloody man. 
 
 9 If Then said Abishai the son of Zeruiah 
 to the king, Why should this *dead dog 
 'curse my lord the king ? let me go over, I 
 pray thee, and take off his head. 
 
 10 And the king said, m What have I to 
 do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah ? so let 
 him curse, because "Jehovah hath said to 
 him, Curse David. "Who shall then say, 
 Wherefore hast thou done so ? 
 
 11 And David said to Abishai, and to all 
 his servants, Behold, p my son, who 'came 
 forth 9 from me, seeketh my life : how much 
 more now may this Benjamite do it? let 
 him alone, and let him curse ; for Jeho- 
 vah hath 10 spoken to him. 
 
 12 It may be that Jehovah will look on 
 mine lltafniction, and that Jehovah will 
 'requite me good for his cursing this day. 
 
 13 And as David and his men went by 
 the way, Shimei went along on the "moun- 
 tain's side over against him, and cursed 
 as he went, and threw stones at him, and 
 tcast dust. 
 
 14 And the king, and all the people that 
 were with him, came weary, and refreshed 
 themselves there. 
 
 15 If And 'Absalom, and all the people 
 the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and 
 Ahithophel with him. 
 
 16 And it came to pass, when Hushai the 
 Archite, 'David's friend, was come to Ab- 
 salom, that Hushai said toAbsalom, t 12 Long 
 life to the king, long life to the king. 
 
 17 And Absalom said to Hushai, Is this 
 thy kindness to thy friend ? "why wentest 
 thou not with thy friend ? 
 
 18 And Hushai said to Absalom, Nay; 
 
 237 
 
JHiithopheV s counsel defeated. 
 
 but whom Jehovah, and this people, and 
 all the men of Israel choose, his will I be, 
 and with him will I abide. 
 
 19 And again, '"whom should I serve ? 
 should I not serve in the presence of his 
 son ? as I have served in thy father's pre- 
 sence, so will I be in thy presence. 
 
 20 If Then said Absalom to Ahithophel, 
 Give counsel among you what we shall do. 
 1 21 And Ahithophel said to Absalom, Go 
 in to thy father's "concubines, whom he 
 hath left to keep the house ; and all Israel 
 13 will hear that thou 'art abhorred ,4 by thy 
 father : then 55 will "the hands of all that 
 are with thee be strong. 
 
 22 So they spread Absalom a tent upon 
 the top of the house ; and Absalom went 
 in to his father's concubines *in the sight 
 of all Israel. 
 
 23 And the counsel of Ahithophel, which 
 he counselled in those days, was as if a 
 man had inquired ,6 of the word of God : 
 so was all the counsel of Ahithophel c both 
 with David and with Absalom. 
 
 CHAPTER XVII. 
 
 1 Ahithophel's counsel is overthrown by Hushai's, 
 according to God's appointment. 15 Secret intel- 
 ligence is sent to David. 23 Ahithophel strangleth 
 himself. 25 Amasa is made captain. 27 David 
 at Mahanaim is furnished with provision. 
 
 MOREOVER, Ahithophel said to Ab- 
 salom, Let me now choose out twelve 
 thousand men, and I will arise and pursue 
 after David this night: 
 
 2 And I will come upon him while he is 
 "weary and weak -handed, and will make 
 him afraid: and all the people that are 
 with him shall flee ; and I will 'smite the 
 king only : 
 
 3 And I will bring back all the people to 
 thee : the man whom thou seekest is as if 
 all returned : so all the people shall be in 
 peace. 
 
 4 And the saying tpleased Absalom well, 
 and all the elders of Israel. 
 
 5 Then said Absalom, Call now Hushai 
 the Archite also, and let us hear likewise 
 twhat he saith. 
 
 6 And when Hushai was come to Absa- 
 lom, Absalom spoke to him, saying, Ahi- 
 thophel hath spoken after this manner: 
 shall we do after his tsaying ? if not, speak 
 thou. 
 
 7 And Hushai said to Absalom, The 
 counsel that Ahithophel hath tgiven is not 
 good at this time. 
 
 8 For, said Hushai, thou knowest thy 
 father and his men, that they x are mighty 
 men, and they 2 are tchafed in their minds, 
 as c a bear robbed of her whelps in the 
 field : and thy father is a man or war, and 
 will not lodge with the people. 
 
 9 Behold, he is hid now in some pit, or 
 in some other place : and it will come to 
 pass, when some of them 3 are toverthrown 
 at * first, that whoever heareth it will 
 say, There is a slaughter among the people 
 that follow Absalom. 
 
 10 And he also that is valiant, whose 
 heart is as the heart of a lion, 6 will utterly 
 d melt > : for all Israel knoweth that thy fa- 
 ther is a mighty man, and they who 6 are 
 with him are valiant men. 
 
 11 Therefore I counsel that all Israel be 
 generally gathered to thee, e from Dan even 
 to Beer-sheba, 'as the sand that is by the

 12 So shall we come upon him in some 
 place where he shall be found, and we will 
 7 fall upon him as the dew falleth on the 
 ground : and of him and of all the men 
 that are with him there shall not be left so 
 much as one. 
 
 13 Moreover, if he be gotten into a city, 
 then shall all Israel bring ropes to that city, 
 and we will draw it into the "brook, until 
 there be not one small stone found there. 
 
 14 And Absalom and all the men of Is- 
 rael said, The counsel of Hushai the Ar- 
 chite is better than the counsel of Ahitho- 
 phel. For s Jehovah had tappointed to 
 defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, to 
 the intent that Jehovah might bring evil 
 upon Absalom. 
 
 15 If Then said Hushai to Zadok and to 
 Abiathar the priests, Thus and thus did 
 Ahithophel counsel Absalom and the el- 
 ders of Israel ; and thus and thus have I 
 counselled. 
 
 16 Now therefore send quickly, and tell 
 David, saying, Lodge not this night 'in the 
 plains of the 9 waste region, but speedily 
 pass over ; lest the king be swallowed up, 
 and all the people that are with him. 
 
 17 *Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz 'stayed 
 by m En-rogel ; for they might not be seen 
 to come into the city: and a 10 servant-maid 
 went and told them ; and they went and 
 told king David. 
 
 18 "But a lad saw them, and told Absa- 
 lom : but they went both of them away 
 quickly, and came to a man's house "in 
 Bahurim, who had a well in his court; 
 whither they went down. 
 
 19 And "trie woman took and spread a 
 covering over the well's mouth, and spread 
 12 beaten corn thereon ; and the thing was 
 not known. 
 
 20 And when Absalom's servants came 
 to the woman "at the house, they said, 
 Where is Ahimaaz and Jonathan ? And 
 p the woman said to them, they "are gone 
 over the brook of water. And when they 
 had sought and could not find them, they 
 returned to Jerusalem. 
 
 21 And it came to pass, after they were 
 departed, that they came up out of the 
 well, and went and told king David, and 
 said to David, 'Arise, and pass quickly 
 over the water : for thus hath Ahithophel 
 counselled against you. 
 
 22 Then David arose, and all the people 
 that were with him, and they passed over 
 Jordan : by the morning light there "re- 
 mained not one of them that was not gone 
 over Jordan. 
 
 23 ^f And when Ahithophel saw that his 
 counsel was not tfollowed, he saddled his 
 ass, and arose, and ,6 went to his house, to 
 'his city, and t 17 set his household in order, 
 and ""strangled himself, and died, and was 
 buried in the sepulchre of his father. 
 
 24 Then David came to 'Mahanaim. And 
 Absalom passed over Jordan, he and all 
 the men of Israel with him. 
 
 25 If And Absalom made Amasa captain 
 of the host instead of Joab : which Amasa 
 was a man's son, whose name was ||Ithra, 
 an Israelite, that went in to "tAbigail the 
 daughter of ||Nahash, sister to Zeruiah, 
 Joab's mother. 
 
The battle in the wood of Ephraim. 
 
 CHAPTER XVIII. 
 
 26 19 And Israel and Absalom pitched in 
 the land of Gilead. 
 
 27 If And it came to pass, when David 
 was come to Mahanaim, that *Shobi the 
 son of Nahash of Rabbah of the children 
 of Ammon, and "Machir the son of Ara- 
 miel of Lodebar, and z Barzillai the Gilead- 
 ite of Rogelim, 
 
 28 Brought beds, and ||basons,and earthen 
 vessels, and wheat, and barley, and flour, 
 and parched i0 grain, and beans, and len- 
 tiles, and parched pulse, 
 
 29 And honey, and butter, and sheep, 
 and cheese of 21 cows, for David, and for 
 the people that were with him, to eat : for 
 they said, The people ^are hungry, and 
 weary, and thirsty, "in the "waste region. 
 
 CHAPTER XVIII. 
 
 1 David viewing the armies in their march giveth 
 them charge of Absalom. 6 The Israelites are sore 
 smitten in the wood of Ephraim. 9 Absalom, 
 hanging in an oak, is slain by Joab, and cast into 
 a pit. 18 Absalom's place. 19 Ahimaaz and Cushi 
 bring tidings to David. 33 David mournelh for 
 Absalom. 
 
 AND David numbered the people that 
 were with him, and set captains of 
 thousands and captains of hundreds over 
 them. 
 
 2 And David sent forth a third part of 
 the people under the hand of Joab, and a 
 third part under the hand of Abishai the 
 son of Zeruiah, Joab's brother, "and a third 
 part under the hand of Ittai the Gittite. 
 And the king said to the people, I will 
 surely go forth with you myself also. 
 
 5 'But the people answered, Thou shalt 
 not go forth : for if we flee away, they will 
 not tcare for us ; neither if half of us die, 
 will they care for us : but now thou art 
 tworth ten thousand of us : therefore now 
 it is better that thou t'aid us 2 from the 
 city. 
 
 4 And the king said to them, What seem- 
 eth 3 best to you- 1 will do. And the king 
 stood by the gate side, and all the people 
 came out by hundreds and by thousands. 
 
 5 And the king commanded Joab and 
 Abishai and Ittai, saying, Deal gently for 
 my sake with the young man, even with 
 Absalom. 'And all the people heard when 
 the king gave all the captains charge con- 
 cerning Absalom. 
 
 6 If So the people went out into the field 
 against Israel : and the battle was in the 
 d4 forest of Ephraim; 
 
 7 5 And there the people of Israel were 
 slain before the servants of David, and 
 there was there a great slaughter that day 
 of twenty thousand men. 
 
 8 For the battle was there scattered over 
 the face of all the country : and the 6 forest 
 tdevoured more people that day than the 
 sword devoured. 
 
 9 If And Absalom met the servants of Da- 
 vid. And Absalom rode upon a mule, and 
 the mule went under the thick boughs of 
 a great oak, and his head caught hold of 
 the oak, and he was taken up between the 
 heaven and the earth ; and the mule that 
 was under him went away. 
 
 10 And a certain man saw it, and told 
 Joab, and said, Behold, I saw Absalom 
 hanged in an oak. 
 
 11 And Joab said to the man that told 
 him, And behold, thou sawest him, and 
 why didst thou not smite him there to the

 ground ? and I would have given thee ten 
 shekels of silver, and a girdle. 
 
 12 And the man said to Joab, Though I 
 should treceive a thousand shekels of silver 
 in my hand, yet would I not put forth my 
 hand against the king's son : "for in our 
 hearing the king charged thee and Abishai 
 and Ittai, saying, tBeware that none touch 
 the young man Absalom. 
 
 13 Otherwise I should have wrought false- 
 hood against mine own life : for there is no 
 matter hidden from the king, and thou thy- 
 self wouldest have set thyself against me. 
 
 14 Then said Joab, I may not tarry thus 
 twith thee. And he took three dances in 
 his hand, and thrust them through the heart 
 of Absalom, while he was yet alive in the 
 tmidst of the oak. 
 
 15 And ten young men that bore Joab's 
 armour compassed about and smote Absa- 
 lom, and slew him. 
 
 16 And Joab blew the trumpet, and the 
 people returned from pursuing after Is- 
 rael : for Joab held back the people. 
 
 17 And they took Absalom, and cast him 
 into a great pit in the 8 forest, and ^laid a 
 very great heap of stones upon him : and 
 all Israel fled every one to his tent. 
 
 18 *!f Now Absalom in his life-time had 
 taken and reared up for himself a pillar, 
 which is in ff the king's 'valley: for he said, 
 1 have no son to keep my name in remem- 
 brance : and he called the pillar after his 
 own name : and it is called to this day, 
 Absalom's "Monument. 
 
 19 f Then said Ahimaaz the son of Za- 
 dok, Let me now run, and bear the king 
 tidings, how that Jehovah hath t "defend- 
 ed him from the power of his enemies. 
 
 20 And Joab said to him, Thou shalt 
 not tbear tidings this day, but thou 6halt 
 bear tidings another day: but this day thou 
 shalt bear no tidings, because the king's 
 son is dead. 
 
 21 Then said Joab to Cushi, Go, tell the 
 king what thou hast seen. And Cushi 
 bowed himself to Joab, and ran. 
 
 22 Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok 
 yet again to Joab, But t however, let me, 
 I pray thee, also run after Cushi. And 
 Joab said, Wherefore wilt thou run, my 
 son, seeing that thou hast no tidings ||ready ? 
 
 23 But howsoever, said he, let me run. 
 And he said to him, Run. Then Ahimaaz 
 ran by the way of the plain, and l2 passed 
 Cushi. 
 
 24 And David sat between the two gates : 
 and *'the watchman went up to the roof 
 over the gate to the wall, and lifted up his 
 eyes, and looked, and behold a man run- 
 ning alone. 
 
 25 And the watchman cried, and told the 
 king. And the king said, If he ™is alone 
 there u are tidings in his mouth. And he 
 came 15 on, and drew near. 
 
 26 And the watchman saw another man 
 running : and the watchman called to the 
 porter, and said, Behold, another man 
 running alone. And the king said, He 
 also bnngeth tidings. 
 
 27 And the watchman^said, ,6 I see the 
 running of the foremost is like the running 
 of Ahimaaz the son of Zadok. And the 
 king said, He is a good man, and cometh 
 with good tidings. 
 
 28 And Ahimaaz called, and said to the 
 
 239 
 
David mourneth for Absalom. 
 
 king, || tAll is well. And he fell down to the 
 earth upon his face before the king, and 
 said, Blessed be Jehovah thy God, who 
 hath tdelivered up the men that lifted up 
 their hand against my lord the king. 
 
 29 And the king said, tls the young man 
 Absalom safe f And Ahimaaz answered, 
 When Joab sent the king's servant, and 
 me thy servant, I saw a great tumult, but 
 I knew not what it was. 
 
 30 And the king said to him, Turn aside 
 and stand here. And he turned aside, 
 and stood still. 
 
 31 And behold, Cushi came; and Cushi 
 said, tTidings, my lord the king : for Je- 
 hovah hath "defended thee this day from 
 the power of all them that rose up against 
 thee. 
 
 32 And the king said to Cushi, Is the 
 young man Absalom safe ? And Cushi an- 
 swered, The enemies of my lord the king, 
 and all that rise against thee to do thee 
 hurt, be as that young man is. 
 
 33 Tf And the king was much moved, and 
 went up to the chamber over the gate, and 
 wept: and as he went, thus he said, *0 my 
 8on Absalom ! my son, my son Absalom ! 
 19 that I had died for thee, Absalom, 
 my son, my son ! 
 
 CHAPTER XIX. 
 
 1 Joab causeth the ki?ig to cease his mourning. 9 
 The Israelites are earnest to bring the king back. 
 1 1 David sendeth to the priests to incite them of 
 Judah. IS Shimei is pardoned. 24 Mephibosheth 
 excused. 32 Barzillai dismissed, Chimham his 
 son is taken into the king's family. 41 The Is- 
 raelites expostulate with Judah for bringing home 
 the king without them. 
 
 AND it was told Joab, Behold, the king 
 weepeth and mourneth for Absalom. 
 _ 2 And the tvictory that day was turned 
 into mourning to all the people : for the 
 people heard f it said that day how the king 
 wa*3 grieved for his son. 
 
 3 And the people 2 stole away that day 
 "into the city, as people being ashamed 
 steal away wnen they nee in battle. 
 
 4 But the king Covered his face, and the 
 king cried with a loud voice, c O my son 
 Absalom ! Absalom, my son, my son ! 
 
 5 And Joab came into the house to the 
 king, and said, Thou hast shamed this 
 day the faces of all thy servants, who this 
 day have saved thy life, and the lives of 
 thy sons and of thy daughters, and the 
 lives of thy wives, and the lives of thy 
 concubines. 
 
 6 t 3 By loving thine enemies, and 4 hating 
 thy friends: for thou hast declared this 
 day, tthat thou regardest neither princes 
 nor servants : for this day I perceive, that 
 if Absalom had lived, and all we had died 
 this day, then it had pleased thee well. 
 
 7 Now therefore arise, go forth, and speak 
 tcomfortably to thy servants : for I swear 
 by Jehovah, if thou go not forth, there will 
 not tarry one with thee this night : and that 
 will be worse to thee than alt the evil that 
 befel thee from thy youth until now. 
 
 8 Then the king arose, and sat in the 
 gate. And they told to all the people, say- 
 ing, Behold, the king doth sit in the gate. 
 And all the people came before the king : 
 for Israel had fled every man to his tent. 
 
 9 U And all the people were at strife 
 throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, 
 The king saved us out of the hand of our

 enemies, and he delivered us out of the 
 hand of the Philistines ; and now he is 
 d fled out of the land for Absalom. 
 
 10 And Absalom, whom we anointed 
 over us, is dead in battle. Now therefore 
 why tspeak ye not a word of bringing the 
 king back ? 
 
 lit And king David sent to Zadok and 
 to Abiathar the priests, saying, Speak to 
 the elders of Judah, saying, Why are ye 
 the last to bring the king back to his house ? 
 seeing the speech of all Israel is come to 
 the king, even to his house. 
 
 12 Ye are my brethren, ye are 'my bones 
 and my flesh : wherefore then are ye the 
 last to bring back the king ? 
 
 13 'And say ye to Amasa, Art thou not 
 of my bone, and of my flesh ? s God do so 
 to me, and more also, if thou be not cap- 
 tain of the host before me continually in 
 the room of Joab. 
 
 14 And he bowed the heart of all the men 
 of Judah, *even as the heart of one man ; 
 so that they sent this word to the king, Re- 
 turn thou, and all thy servants. 
 
 15 So the king returned, and came to 
 Jordan. And Judah came to 'Gilgal, to go 
 to meet the king, to conduct the king over 
 Jordan. 
 
 16 t And *Shimei the son of Gera, a 
 Benjamite, who was of Bahurim, hasted 
 and came down with the men of Judah to 
 meet king David. 
 
 17 And there were a thousand men of 
 Benjamin with him, and 'Ziba the servant 
 of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons 
 and his twenty servants with him; and 
 they went over Jordan before the king. 
 
 18 And there went over a 6 ferry-boat to 
 carry over the king's household, and to do 
 twhat he thought good. And Shimei the 
 son of Gera fell down before the king, as 
 he was come over Jordan ; 
 
 19 And said to the king, ™Let not my 
 lord impute iniquity to me, neither do thou 
 remember "that which thy servant did per- 
 versely the day that my lord the king went 
 out of Jerusalem, that the king should ° 'lay 
 it to his heart. 
 
 20 For thy servant doth know that I have 
 sinned : therefore behold, I am come the 
 first this day of all r the house of Joseph to 
 go down to meet my lord the king. 
 
 21 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah an- 
 swered and said, Shall not Shimei be put 
 to death for this, because he 'cursed Jeho- 
 vah's anointed ? 
 
 22 And David said, 'What have I to do 
 with you, ye sons of Zeruiah, that ye 
 shoula this day be adversaries to me? 
 'shall there any man be put to death this 
 day in Israel ? for do not I know that I am 
 this day king over Israel ? 
 
 23 Therefore 'the king said to Shimei, 
 Thou shalt not die : and the king swore to 
 him. 
 
 24 f And "Mephibosheth the son of Saul 
 came down to meet the king, and had nei- 
 ther dressed his feet, nor trimmed his 
 beard, nor washed his clothes, from the 
 day the king departed until the day he 
 came again in peace. 
 
 25 And it came to pass, when he was 
 come to Jerusalem to meet the king, that 
 the king said to him, "Wherefore wentest 
 not thou with me, Mephibosheth ? 
 
David's gratitude to Barzillai. 
 
 26 And he answered, My lord, king, 
 my servant deceived me : for thy servant 
 said, I will saddle me an ass, that I may 
 ride thereon, and go to the king ; because 
 thy servant is lame. 
 
 27 And "he hath slandered thy servant 
 to my lord the king ; *but my lord the king 
 is as an angel of God: do therefore what 
 is good in thine eyes. 
 
 28 For 8 were not all of my father's house 9 
 tdead men before my lord the king ? °yet 
 didst thou set thy servant among them 
 that did eat at thine owYi table. What 
 right therefore have I yet to cry any more 
 to the king ? 
 
 29 And the king said to him, Why speak - 
 est thou any more of thy matters ? Ihave 
 said, Thou and Ziba divide the land. 
 
 30 And Mephibosheth said to the king, 
 Yea, let him take all, forasmuch as my 
 lord the king is come again in peace to his 
 own house. 
 
 31 If And 'Barzillai the Gileadite came 
 down from Rogelim, and went over Jordan 
 with the king, to conduct him over Jordan. 
 
 32 Now Barzillai was a very aged man, 
 even fourscore years old : and c he nad pro- 
 vided the king l0 with sustenance while he 
 "abode at Mahanaim : for he was a very 
 great man. 
 
 33 And the king said to Barzillai, Come 
 thou over with me, and I will "sustain thee 
 with sustenance with me in Jerusalem. 
 
 34 And Barzillai said to the king, tHow 
 long have I to live, that I should go up 
 with the king to Jerusalem? 
 
 35 I am this day ^fourscore years old : 
 and can I discern between good and evil ? 
 can thy servant taste what I eat or what I 
 drink r can I hear any more the voice of 
 singing-men and singing-women ? where- 
 fore then should thy servant be yet a bur- 
 den to my lord the king ? 
 
 36 Thy servant will go a little "distance 
 over Jordan with the king : and why should 
 the king recompense M me with such a re- 
 ward ? 
 
 37 Let thy servant, I pray thee, turn back 
 again, that I may die in mine own city, 
 and be buried by the grave of my father 
 and of my mother : but behold thy servant 
 e Chimham ; let him go over with my lord 
 the king ; and do to him what shall seem 
 good to thee. 
 
 38 And the king answered, Chimham 
 shall go over with me, and I will do to him 
 that which shall seem good to thee: and 
 whatever thou shalt t require of me, that 
 will I do for thee. 
 
 39 And all the people went over Jordan. 
 And when the king was come over, the 
 king ^kissed Barzillai, and blessed him : 
 and he returned to his own place. 
 
 40 Then the king went on to Gilgal, and 
 tChimham went on with him : and all the 
 people of Judah conducted the king, and 
 also half the people of Israel. 
 
 41 ^ And behold, all the men of Israel 
 came to the king, and said to the king, 
 Why have our brethren the men of Judah 
 stolen thee away, and ^have brought the 
 king, and his household, and all David's 
 men with him, over Jordan ? 
 
 42 And all the men of Judah answered 
 the men of Israel, Because the king is 
 *near of kin to us : wherefore then are ye

 angry for this matter? have we eaten at

 43 And the men of Israel answered the 
 men of Judah, and said, We have ten 
 parts in the king, and we have also more 
 right in David than ye : why then did ye 
 tdespise us, that our advice should not be 
 first nad in bringing back our king? And 
 'the words of the men of Judah were fiercer 
 than the words of the men of Israel. 
 
 CHAPTER XX. 
 
 1 By occasion of the quarrel, Sheba maketh a party 
 in Israel. 3 David's ten concubines are shut up 
 in perpetual prison. 4 Amasa, made captain over 
 Judah, is slain by Joab. 14 Joab pursueth Sheba 
 to Abel. 16 A wise woman saveth the city by 
 Sheba's head. 23 David's officers. 
 
 AND there happened to be there a man 
 of 'wickedness, whose name was She- 
 ba, 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. 
 
 2 So every man of Israel went up from 
 after David, and followed Sheba the son 
 of Bichri : but the men of Judah clave to 
 their king, from Jordan even to Jerusalem. 
 
 3 If And David came to his house at Je- 
 rusalem ; and the king took the ten women 
 his toncubines, whom he had left to keep 
 the house, and put them in t 2 custody, and 
 fed them, but went not in to them. So 
 they were tshut up to the day of their 
 death, tliving in widowhood. 
 
 4 1f Then said the king to Amasa, ^As- 
 semble ' for' me the men of Judah within 
 three days, and be thou here present. 
 
 5 So Amasa went to assemble the men of 
 Judah : but he tarried longer than the set 
 time which he had appointed ' for' him. 
 
 6 And David said to Abishai, Now 3 will 
 Sheba the son of Bichri do us more harm 
 than did Absalom: take thou c thy lord's 
 servants and pursue after him, 4 lest he find 
 fortified cities for himself, and tescape us. 
 
 7 And there went out after him Joab's 
 men, and the AHherethites, and the Peleth- 
 ites, and all the mighty men: and they 
 went out of Jerusalem, to pursue after 
 Sheba the son of Bichri. 
 
 8 When they were at the great stone 
 which is in Gibeon, Amasa went before 
 them. And Joab's garment that he had 
 put on was girded to him, and upon it a 
 girdle with a sword fastened upon his loins 
 in the sheath thereof; and as he went forth 
 it fell out. 
 
 9 And Joab said to Amasa, Art thou in 
 health, my brother ? ? And Joab took Ama- 
 sa by the beard with the right hand to kiss 
 him. 
 
 10 But Amasa took no heed to the sword 
 that was in Joab's hand : so *he smote him 
 therewith 'in the 6 fifth rib, and shed out 
 his bowels to the ground, and tstruck him 
 not again; and he died. So Joab and 
 Abishai his brother pursued after Sheba 
 the son of Bichri. 
 
 11 And one of Joab's 'young' men stood 
 6 over him, and said, He that favoureth 
 Joab, and he that is for David, let him go 
 after Joab. 
 
 12 And Amasa wallowed in blood in the 
 midst of the highway. And when the man 
 
 241 
 
Sheba beheaded. 
 
 saw that all the people stood still, he re- 
 moved 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. 
 
 13 When he was removed out of the high- 
 way, all the people went on after Joab, to 
 pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri. 
 
 14 If And he went through all the tribes 
 of Israel to 'Abel, and to Beth-maachah, 
 and all the Berites : and they were gather- 
 ed together, and went also after him. 
 
 1 5 And they came and besieged him in 
 Abel of Beth-maachah, and they 'cast up 
 a bank against the city, and ||it stood Tjy 
 the trench : and all the people that were 
 with Joab tbattered the wall, to throw it 
 down. 
 
 16 If Then cried a wise woman out of the 
 city, Hear, hear ; say, I pray you, to Joab, 
 Come near hither, that I may speak with 
 thee. 
 
 17 And when he was come near to her, 
 the woman said, Art thou Joab ? And he 
 answered, I am he. Then she said to him, 
 Hear the words of thy handmaid. And he 
 answered, I do hear. 
 
 18 Then she spoke, saying, ||They were 
 wont to speak in old time, saying, They 
 shall surely inquire 9 at Abel : and so they 
 ended the matter. 
 
 19 I am 10 peaceable and faithful in Is- 
 rael : thou seekest to destroy a city "even 
 a mother in Israel : why wilt thou swallow 
 up "the inheritance of Jehovah ? 
 
 20 And Joab answered and said, Far be 
 it, far be it from me, that I should swallow 
 up or destroy. 
 
 21 The matter is not so : but a man of 
 mount Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri 
 tby name, hath lifted up his hand against 
 the king, even against David : deliver him 
 only, and I will depart from the city. 
 And the woman said to Joab, Behold, his 
 head shall be thrown to thee over the wall. 
 
 22 Then the woman went to all the peo- 
 
 Ele "in her wisdom. And they cut off the 
 ead of Sheba the son of Bichri and cast 
 it out to Joab. And he blew a trumpet, 
 and they tretired from the city, every man 
 to his tent. And Joab returned to Jerusa- 
 lem to the king. 
 
 23 ^ Now "Joab was over all the host of 
 Israel : and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada 
 was over the Cherethites and over the Pe- 
 lethites : 
 
 24 And Adoram was p over the tribute: 
 and 'Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was 
 |]recorder : 
 
 25 And Sheva was scribe: and r Zadok 
 and Abiathar were the priests : 
 
 26 "And Ira also the Jairite was 12 prince 
 for David. 
 
 CHAPTER XXI.

 kindness to the dead. 12 David burieth the bones of 
 Saul and Jonathan in his father's sepulchre. 15 
 Four battles against the Philistines, wherein four 
 valiants of David slay four giants. 
 
 THEN there was a famine in the days 
 of David three years, year after year; 
 and David tinquired of Jehovah. And Je- 
 hovah answered, It is for Saul, and for his 
 bloody house, because he slew the Gibeon 
 ites.

 were not of the children of Israel, but "of 
 the remnant of the Amorites; and the 
 children of Israel had sworn to them : and 
 Saul sought to slay them, in his zeal to the 
 children of Israel and Judah.) 
 
 3 Wherefore David said to the Gibeon- 
 ites, What shall I do for you? and where- 
 with shall I make the atonement, that ye 
 may bless 'the inheritance of Jehovah ? 
 
 4 And the Gibeonites said to him, ||We 
 will have no silver nor gold of Saul, nor 
 of his house ; neither for us shalt thou kill 
 any man in Israel. And he said, What ye 
 shall say, that will I do for you. 
 
 5 And they answered the king, The man 
 that consumed us, and that ||devised against 
 us, that we should be destroyed from re- 
 maining in any of the 'regions of Israel, 
 
 6 Let seven men of his sons be delivered 
 to us, and we will hang them up to Jeho - 
 vah "in Gibeah of Saul, d \\whom Jehovah 
 did choose. And the king said, I will give 
 them. 
 
 7 But the king spared Mephibosheth, the 
 son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, because 
 of 'Jehovah's oath that was between them, 
 between David and Jonathan the son of 
 Saul. 
 
 8 But the king took the two sons of -fRiz- 
 pah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bore 
 to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth ; and 
 the five sons of UMichal the daughter of 
 Saul, whom she 2 bore to Adriel, the son 
 of Barzillai the Meholathite : 
 
 9 And he delivered them into the hands of 
 the Gibeonites, and they hanged them in 
 the 3 mountain ^before Jehovah : and they 
 fell all seven together, and were put to 
 death in the days of harvest, in the first 
 days, in the beginning of barley-harvest. 
 
 10 ^f And "Rizpah the daughter of Aiah 
 took sackcloth, and spread it for 4 herself 
 upon the rock, 'from the beginning of 
 harvest until water dropped upon them 
 out of heaven, and suffered neither the 
 birds of the air to rest on them by day, nor 
 the beasts of the field by night. 
 
 11 And it was told David what Rizpah 
 the daughter of Aiah the concubine of 
 Saul had done. 
 
 12 ^f And David went and took the bones 
 of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son 
 from the 5 citizens of 'Jabesh-gilead, who 
 had stolen them from the street of Beth- 
 shan, where the 'Philistines had hanged 
 them, when the Philistines had slain Saul 
 in Gilboa : 
 
 13 And he brought up from thence the 
 bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan 
 his son: and they gathered the bones of 
 them that were hanged. 
 
 14 And the bones of Saul and Jonathan 
 his son buried they in the country of Ben- 
 jamin in m Zelah, in the sepulchre of Kish 
 his father : and they performed all that the 
 king commanded. And after that, "God 
 was entreated for the land. 
 
 15 If Moreover, the Philistines had yet 
 war again with Israel; and David went 
 down, and his servants with him, and 
 fought against the Philistines : and David 
 6 became faint. 
 
 16 And Ishbi-benob, who was of the sons 
 of [|the giant, the weight of whose tspear 
 

 David's psalm of thanksgiving 
 
 weighed three hundred shekels of brass in 
 weight, he being girded with a new sword, 
 thought to have slain David. 
 
 17 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah 'helped 
 him, and smote the Philistine, and killed 
 him. Then the men of David swore to 
 him, saying, "Thou shalt go no more out 
 with us to battle, that thou quench not the 
 p8 lamp of Israel. 
 
 18 «And it came to pass after this, that 
 there was again a battle with the Philis- 
 tines at Gob: then r Sibbechai the Hushath- 
 ite slew IjSaph, who was ' one' of the sons 
 of ||the giant. 
 
 19 And there was again a battle in Gob 
 with the Philistines, where Elhanan the 
 son of || Jaare-oregim, a Beth-lehemite, 
 slew 'the brother of Goliath the Gittite, 
 the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's 
 beam. 
 
 20 And 'there was yet" a battle in Gath, 
 where was a man of great stature, that had 
 on 9 each hand six fingers, and on '"each 
 foot six toes, four and twenty in number; 
 and he also was born to ||the giant. 
 
 21 And when he Hdefied Israel, Jonathan 
 the son of "Shimeah the brother of David 
 slew him. 
 
 22 '"These four were born to the §iant in 
 Gath, and fell by the hand of David, and 
 by the hand of his servants. 
 
 CHAPTER XXII. 
 
 A psalm of thanksgiving for God's powerful deliver- 
 ance, and manifold blessings. 
 AND David "spoke to Jehovah the words 
 of this song in the day l when Jehovah 
 had 'delivered him out of the hand of all 
 his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul : 
 
 2 And he said, "Jehovah is my rock, and 
 my fortress, and my deliverer ; 
 
 3 The . God of my rock ; d in him will I 
 trust: he is my e2 buckler, and the / horn 
 of my salvation, my high * 3 rock, and my 
 *refuge, my saviour-; thou savest me from 
 violence. 
 
 4 I will call' on Jehovah, who is worthy 
 to be praised : so shall I be saved from 
 mine enemies. 
 
 5 When the [| waves of death encompassed 
 me, the 4 torrents of tungodly men made 
 me afraid; 
 
 6 The || i5 pains of "hell encompassed me 
 about ; the snares of death 'seized me ; 
 
 7 In my distress *I called upon Jehovah, 
 and cried to my God: and he ' "heard my 
 voice out of his 9 palace, and my cry 10 m- 
 tered into his ears. 
 
 8 Then m the earth shook and trembled : 
 "the foundations of heaven moved and 
 shook, because he was "angry. 
 
 9 There went up a smoke tout of his 
 nostrils, and "fire out of his mouth devour- 
 ed : coals were kindled by it. 
 
 10 He 'bowed the heavens also, and came 
 down; and ''thick' darkness was under 
 his feet. 
 
 11 And he rode upon a cherub, and did 
 fly: and he was seen 'upon the wings of 
 the wind. 
 
 12 And he made "darkness pavilions round 
 about him, tdark waters, and thick clouds 
 of the skies. 
 
 13 I2 From the brightness before him were 
 'coals of fire kindled. 
 
 14 Jehovah "thundered from heaven, and 
 the Most High uttered his voice.

 them. 
 
 16 And the channels of the sea appeared, 
 the foundations of the world were disco- 
 vered, at the "rebuking of Jehovah, at the 
 blast of the breath of his ||nostrils. 
 
 17 2 He sent from above, he took me; he 
 drew me "out of great waters. 
 
 18 "He delivered me from my strong ene- 
 my, and from 15 those who hated me: for 
 they were too strong for me. 
 
 19 They I6 seized me in the day of my 
 calamity : but Jehovah was my "support. 
 
 20 'He brought me forth also into a ^wide- 
 place: he delivered me, because he "de- 
 lighted in me. 
 
 21 ^Jehovah rewarded me according to 
 my 19 innocence : according to the 'clean- 
 ness of my hands hath he recompensed me. 
 
 22 For I have -^kept the ways of Jehovah, 
 and have not wickedly departed from my 
 God. 
 
 23 For all his ^judgments were before 
 me : and as for his 20 ordinances, I did not 
 depart from them. 
 
 24 I was also ^upright tbefore him, and 
 have kept myself from mine iniquity. 
 
 25 Therefore 'Jehovah hath recompensed 
 me according to my righteousness; accord- 
 ing to my cleanness tin his 2I sight. 
 
 26 With Hhe ^kind thou wilt shew thyself 
 23 kind, and with the upright man thou wilt 
 shew thyself upright.

 ||shew thyself 25 crafty. 
 
 28 Ancl the "afflicted people thou wilt 
 save : but thine eyes are upon "the haughty, 
 that thou mayest bring them down. 
 
 29 For thou art my ||Iamp, Jehovah : and 
 Jehovah will 26 enlighten my darkness 
 
 30 For by thee have I Crushed through a 
 troop : by my God have I leaped over a wall. 
 
 31 As for God, "his way is perfect; 'the 
 word of Jehovah is || 28 pure: he is a buck- 
 ler to all 29 those who trust in him. 
 
 32 For 9 who is God, ^except Jehovah? 
 and who is a rock, 31 except our God ? 
 
 33 God is my 'strength and power: and 
 he t'maketh my way 'perfect. 
 
 34 He tmaketh my feet "like hinds' feet: 
 and *setteth me upon my high places. 
 
 35 "He teacheth my hands Tto war; so 
 that a bow of 32 brass is broken by mine 
 arms. 
 
 36 Thou hast also given me the ^buckler 
 of thy salvation : ami thy gentleness hath 
 tmade me great. 
 
 37 Thou hast 'enlarged my steps under 
 me ; so that my '"ankles did not 35 totter. 
 
 38 I have pursued mine enemies, and 
 destroyed them; and turned not again 
 until I had consumed them. 
 
 39 And I have consumed them, and 
 36 crushed them, that they could not arise : 
 3 'and they are fallen "under my feet. 
 
 40 For thou hast 'girded me witli strength 
 38 for battle : "them that rose up against me 
 hast thou tsubdued under me. 
 
 41 Thou hast also given me the d necks of 
 mine enemies, that I might destroy them

 God's promises to be beyond sense or experience. 
 6 The different state of the wicked. 8 A catalogue 
 of David's mighty men. 
 
 NOW these 1 are the last words of David. 
 David the son of Jesse said, "and the 
 man who was raised up on high, 'the 
 anointed of the God of Jacob, and the 
 sweet 2 singer of Israel, said, 
 
 2 "The Spirit of Jehovah spoke by me, 
 and his word was on my tongue. 
 
 3 The God of Israel said, d the Rock of 
 Israel spoke to me, ||He that ruleth over 
 men must be just, ruling "in the fear of 
 God.

 when the sun riseth, 4 a morning without 
 clouds ; Hike the tender grass springing 
 out of the earth by clear shining after rain. 
 
 5 Although my house be not so with God ; 
 *yet he hath made with me an everlasting 
 covenant, Arranged in all things, and 
 sure : for this is all my salvation, and all 
 my desire, although he make it not to grow. 
 
 6 1T But the sons of 'wickedness shall be 
 all of them 8 like thorns thrust away, be- 
 cause they cannot be taken with hands : 
 
 7 But the man that fwovAd touch them 
 must be tfenced with iron and the staff of 
 a spear ; and they shall be utterly burned 
 with fire in the same place. 
 
 8 If These l0 are the names of the mighty 
 men whom David had : ||The Tachmonite 
 that sat in the seat, chief among the "war- 
 riors ; the same was Adino the Eznite : 
 \\he lifted up his spear against eight hun- 
 dred, twhom he slew at one time. 
 
 9 And after him was *El'eazar the son 
 of Dodo the Ahohite, one of the three 
 mighty men with David, when they defied 
 the Philistines that were there gathered 
 together to battle, and the men of Israel 
 were gone away : 
 
 10 He arose, and smote the Philistines 
 until his hand was weary, and his hand

 clave to the sword : and Jehovah wrought 
 a great victory that day ; and the people 
 returned after him only to spoil. 
 
 11 And after him was 'Shammah the son 
 of Agee the Hararite. *And the Philistines 
 were gathered together ||into a troop, where 
 was a piece of ground full of lentiles: and 
 the people fled from the Philistines. 
 
 12 But he stood in the midst of the ground, 
 and defended it, and slew the Philistines : 
 and Jehovah wrought a great victory. 
 
 13 And ' 1| three ot the thirty chief went 
 down, and came to David in the harvest- 
 time to m the cave of Adullam: and the 
 troop of the Philistines pitched in "the 
 valley of Rephaim. 
 
 14 And David was then in "a 12 fortress, 
 and the garrison of the Philistines was 
 then in Beth-lehem. 
 
 15 And David longed, and said, Oh that 
 one would give me drink of the water of 
 the well of Beth-lehem, which is by the 
 gate ! 
 
 16 And the three mighty men 13 burst 
 through the host of the Philistines, and 
 drew water out of the well of Beth-lehem, 
 that was by the gate, and took it, and 
 brought it to David : nevertheless he would 
 not drink thereof, but poured it out to Je- 
 hovah. 
 
 17 And he said, Be it far from me, O Je- 
 hovah, that I should do this : is not this 
 ? the blood of the men that went in jeo- 
 pardy of their lives ? therefore he would 
 not drink it. These things did these three 
 mighty men. 
 
 18 And «Abishai, the brother of Joab, the 
 son of Zeruiah, was chief among three. 
 And he lifted up his spear against three 
 hundred, \and slew them, and had the 
 name among three. 
 
 19 Was he not most honourable of three ? 
 therefore he was their captain: 14 yet he 
 attained not to the first three. 
 
 20 And Benaiah the son of J'ehoiada, the 
 son of a valiant man, of r K.abzeel, twho 
 had done many acts, *he slew two tlion- 
 like men of Moab: he went down also 
 and slew a lion in the midst of a pit in 15 a 
 snowy day: 
 
 21 And he slew an Egyptian, ta 16 comely 
 man : and the Egyptian had a spear in his 
 hand ; but he went down to him with a 
 staff, and "snatched the spear out of the 
 Egyptian's hand, and slew him with his 
 own spear. 
 
 22 These things did Benaiah the son of 
 Jehoiada, and had the name among three 
 mighty men. 
 
 23 He was ||mqre honourable than the 
 thirty, but he attained not to the first three. 
 And David set him 'over his Htguard.

 CHAPTER XXIV. 
 
 1 David, tempted by Satan, forceth Joab to number 
 the people. 5 The captains, in nine months and 
 twenty days, bring the muster of thirteen hundred 
 thousand fighting men. 10 David, having three 
 plagues propounded by Gad, repenteth, and choos- 
 eth the three days' pestilence. 15 After the death 
 of threescore and ten thousand, David by repent- 
 ance preventeth the destruction of Jerusalem. 18 
 David, by Gad's direction, purchaseih Araunah's 
 threshing-floor; where having sacrificed, the 
 plague stayeth. 
 
 AND "again the anger of Jehovah was 
 kindled against Israel, and ||he moved 
 David against them to say, 6 Go, number 
 Israel and Judah. 
 
 2 For the king said to Joab, the captain 
 of the host, who was with him, ||Go now 
 through all the tribes of Israel, c from Dan 
 even to Beer-sheba, and number ye the 
 people, that d l may know the number of 
 the people. 
 
 3 And Joab said to the king, Now Jeho- 
 vah thy God add to the people, how many 
 soever they be, a hundred-fold, and that 
 the eyes of my lord the king may see it : 
 but why doth my lord the king delight in 
 this thing ? 
 
 4 'But the king's word prevailed against 
 Joab, and against the captains of the host. 
 And Joab and the captains of the host 
 went out from the presence of the king, to 
 number the people of Israel. 
 
 5 If And they passed over Jordan, and 
 pitched in Aroer, on the right side of the 
 city that lieth in the midst of the || 2 river 
 of Gad, and toward f Jazer : 
 
 6 Then they came to Gilead, and to the 
 ||land of Tahtim-hodshi ; and they came 
 to ^Dan-jaan, and about to *Zidon, 
 
 7 And came to the 3 fortress of Tyre, and 
 to all the cities of the Hivites, and of the 
 Canaanites : and they went out to the south 
 of Judah, even to Beer-sheba. 
 
 8 So when they had gone through all the 
 land, they came to Jerusalem at the end 
 of nine months and twenty days. 
 
 9 And Joab gave up the sum of the num- 
 ber of the people to the king : *and there 
 were in Israel eight hundred thousand 
 valiant men that drew the sword ; and the 
 men of Judah were five hundred thousand 
 men. 
 
 10 t And ^David's heart smote him after 
 that he had numbered the people. And 
 David said to Jehovah, ! I have sinned 
 greatly in that I have done : and now, I

 followed by three days' pestilence. 
 
 beseech thee, Jehovah, take away the 
 iniquity of thy servant ; for I have "done 
 very foolishly. 
 
 11 For when David was up in the morn- 
 ing, the word of Jehovah 4 had come to the 
 prophet "Gad, David's "seer, saying, 
 
 12 Go and say to David, Thus saith Je- 
 hovah, I offer thee three things; choose 
 thyself one of them, that I may do it to 
 thee. 
 
 13 So Gad came to David, and told him, 
 and said to him, Shall p seven years of fa- 
 mine come to thee in thy land ? or wilt 
 thou flee three months before thine ene- 
 mies, while they pursue thee ? or that there 
 be three days' pestilence in thy land? 
 Now Consider, and see what answer I 
 shall return to him that sent me. 
 
 14 And David said to Gad, I am in a 
 great strait : let us fall now into the hand 
 of Jehovah ; 'for his mercies are llgreat ; 
 and r let me not fall into the hand of man. 
 
 15 If So 'Jehovah sent a pestilence upon 
 Israel from 6 that morning even to the time 
 appointed : and there died of the people 
 from Dan even to Beer-sheba seventy 
 thousand men. 
 
 16 And when the angel stretched out his 
 hand 7 over Jerusalem to destroy it, "Jeho- 
 vah repented him of the evil, and said to 
 the angel that destroyed the people, It is 
 enough : stay now thy hand. And the an- 
 gel of Jehovah was by the threshing-place 
 of Araunah the Jebusite. 
 
 17 And David spoke to Jehovah when he 
 saw the angel that smote the people, and 
 said, Lo, "I have sinned, and I have done 
 wickedly: but these sheep, what have they 
 done ? Let thy hand, I pray thee, be against 
 me, and against my father's house. 
 
 18 Tf And Gad came that day to David, 
 and said to him, *Go up, rear an altar to 
 Jehovah in the threshing-floor of t Araunah 
 the Jebusite. 
 
 19 And David, according to the saying 
 of Gad, went up as Jehovah commanded. 
 
 20 And Araunah looked ' forth ? ' and saw 
 the king and his servants coming on to- 
 Avards him : And Araunah went out, and 
 bowed himself before the king on his face 
 upon the ground. 
 
 21 And Araunah said, Wherefore 8 hath 
 my lord the king come to his servant? 
 "And David said, To buy the threshing- 
 floor of thee, to build an altar to Jehovah, 
 that J the plague may be stayed from the 
 people. 
 
 22 And Araunah said to David, Let my 
 lord the king take and offer up what seem- 
 eth good to him: 'behold, here 9 are oxen for 
 burnt-sacrifice, and threshing- 10 rollers and 
 other instruments of the oxen for wood. 
 
 23 All these things did Araunah, as a 
 king, give to the king. And Araunah said 
 to the King, Jehovah thy God ^accept thee. 
 
 24 And the king said to Araunah, Nay.: 
 but I will surely buy it of thee at a price : 
 neither will I offer burnt-offerings to Jeho- 
 vah my God of that which doth cost me 
 nothing. So 'David bought the threshing- 
 floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver. 
 
 25 And David built there an altar to the 
 Lord, and offered burnt-offerings and 
 "thank-offerings. 'So Jehovah was en- 
 treated for the land, and *the plague was 
 stayed from Israel.

 CHAPTER I. 
 
 I Abishag cherisheth David in his extreme age, 
 5 Adonijah, David's darling, usurpeth the king- 
 dom. 11 By the counsel of Nathan, 15 Bath-sheba 
 moveth the king, 22 and Nathan secondeth her, 
 28 David reneweth his oath to Bath-sheba. 32 So- 
 lomon, by David's appointment, being anointed 
 king by Zadok and Nathan, the people triumph. 
 41 Jonathan bringing these news, Adonijah's 
 guests fly. 50 Adonijah, flying to the horns of 
 the altar, upon his good behaviour is dismissed by 
 Solomon. 
 
 NOW king David was old and fad vanced 
 in years ; and they covered him with 
 clothes, but he 2 was not warm. 
 
 2 Wherefore his servants said to him, 
 tLet there be sought for my lord the king 
 ta young virgin : and let her stand before 
 the king, and let her 3 be his attendant, and 
 let her lie in thy bosom, that my lord the 
 king may 4 be warm. 
 
 3 So they sought for a fair damsel through- 
 out all the 5 regions of Israel, and found 
 Abishag a "Shunammite, and brought her 
 to the king. 
 
 4 And the damsel ivas very fair, and 
 6 was an attendant for the king, and minis- 
 tered to him : but the king knew her not. 
 
 5 If Then 'Adonijah the son of Haggith 
 exalted himself, saying, I will 7 reign : and 
 'he prepared him chariots and horsemen, 
 and fifty men to run before him. 
 
 6 And his father had not displeased him 
 tat any time in saying, Why hast thou done 
 so ? and he also was a very 8 comely man; 
 d and his mother bore him after Absalom. 
 
 7 And the 'talked with Joab the son of 
 Zeruiah, and with "Abiathar the priest: 
 and -fthey, t following Adonijah, helped 
 him. 
 
 8 But Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the 
 son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet, 
 and g Shimei, and Rei, and "the mighty men 
 who belonged to David, were not with 
 Adonijah. 
 
 9 And Adonijah slew sheep, and oxen, 
 and "stalled cattle, by the stone of Zohe- 
 leth, which is by ||En-rogel, and called all 
 his brethren the king's sons, and all the 
 men of Judah the king's servants : 
 
 10 But Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, 
 and the mighty men, and Solomon his bro- 
 ther, he caUed not. 
 
 II IT Wherefore Nathan spoke to Bath- 
 sheba the mother of Solomon, saying, Hast 
 thou not heard that Adonijah the son of 
 •Haggith doth reign, and David our lord 
 knoweth it not ? 
 
 12 Now therefore come, let me, I pray 
 thee, give thee counsel, that thou mayest 
 save thine own life, and the life of thy son 
 Solomon. 
 
 13 Go, and get thee in to king David, 
 and say to him, Didst not thou, my lord, 
 O king, swear to thy handmaid, saying, 
 *AssuredIy Solomon thy son shall reign * ; 
 after me, and he shall sit upon my throne ? 
 why then doth Adonijah reign ?

 thee, and tconfirm thy words. t Heb. /atu P .

 son shall reign after me, and he shall sit 
 upon my throne. 
 
 18 And now, behold, Adonijah reigneth ; 
 and now, my lord the king, thou knowest 
 it not : 
 
 19 m And he hath slain oxen, and ''stalled 
 cattle, and sheep in abundance, and hath 
 called all the sons of the king, and Abia- 
 thar the priest, and Joab the captain of the 
 host: but Solomon thy servant hath he not 
 called. 
 
 20 And thou, my lord, O king, the eyes 
 of all Israel are upon thee, that thou 
 shouldest tell them who shall sit on the 
 throne of my lord the king after him. 
 
 21 Otherwise it "will come to pass, when 
 my lord the king shall nl5 lie down with his 
 fathers, that I and my son Solomon 16 will 
 be counted toffenders. 
 
 22 \ And lo, while she yet talked with 
 the king, Nathan the prophet also came in. 
 
 23 And they told the king, saying, Behold 
 Nathan the prophet. And when he was 
 come in before the king, he bowed himself 
 before the king with his face to the ground. 
 
 24 And Nathan said, My lord, king, 
 hast thou said, Adonijah shall reign after 
 ine, and he shall sit upon my throne ? 
 
 25 "For he is gone down this day, and 
 hath slain oxen, and "stalled cattle, and 
 sheep in abundance, and hath called all 
 the king's sons, and the captains of the 
 host, and Abiathar the priest; and behold, 
 they eat and drink before him, and say, 
 p t' s Long life to king Adonijah. 
 
 26 But me, even me thy servant, and 
 Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of 
 Jehoiada, and thy servant Solomon, hath 
 he not called. 
 
 27 Is this thing done by my lord the king, 
 and thou hast not shewed it to thy servant, 
 who should sit on the throne of my lord the 
 kingafter him ? 
 
 28 Then king David answered and said, 
 Call me Bath-sheba. And she came tinto 
 the king's presence, and stood before the 
 king. 
 
 29 And the king swore and said, g As Je- 
 hovah liveth, that hath "delivered me out 
 of all distress, 
 
 30 'Even as I swore to thee by Jehovah 
 God of Israel, saying, Assuredly Solomon 
 thy son shall reign after me, and he shall 
 sit upon my throne in my stead ; even so 
 will I certainly do this day. 
 
 31 Then Bath-sheba bowed with her face 
 to the earth, and 20 reverenced the king, and 
 said, 'Let my lord king David live for ever. 
 
 32 If And king David said, Call 'to' me 
 Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, 
 and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada. And 
 they came before the king. 
 
Solomon is anointed king. 
 
 33 The king also said to them, 'Take 
 m ith you the servants of your lord, and 
 cause Solomon my son to ride upon tmine 
 own mule, and bring him down to "Gihon : 
 
 34 And let Zadok the priest and Nathan 
 the prophet 'anoint him there king over 
 Israel : and y bl'ow ye with the trumpet, 
 and say, "Long live king Solomon. 
 
 35 Then ye shall come up after him, that 
 he may come and sit upon my throne ; for 
 he shall be king in my stead : and I have 
 appointed him to be ^prince over Israel 
 and over Judah. 
 
 36 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada an- 
 swered the king, and said, Amen : Je- 
 hovah God of my lord the king say so too. 
 
 37 *As Jehovah hath been with my lord 
 the king, even so be he with Solomon, and 
 "make his throne greater than the throne 
 of my lord king David. 
 
 38 So Zadok the priest, and Nathan the 
 prophet, *and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, 
 and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, 
 went down, and caused Solomon to ride 
 upon king David's mule, and brought him 
 to Gihon. 
 
 39 And Zadok the priest took a horn of 
 c oil out of the ^tent, and ^anointed Solo- 
 mon. And they blew the trumpet ; "and 
 all the people said, 23 Long live king Solo- 
 mon. . 
 
 40 And all the people came up after him, 
 and the people piped with llpipes, and re- 
 joiced with great joy, so that the earth rent 
 with the sound of them. 
 
 41 % And Adonijah and all the guests 
 that were with him heard it as they had 
 made an end of eating. And when Joab 
 heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, 
 Wherefore is this noise of the city being 
 in an uproar? 
 
 42 And while he yet spoke, behold, Jo- 
 nathan the son of Abiathar the priest came : 
 and Adonijah said- to him, Come in; for 
 'thou art M an honest man, and bringest 
 good tidings. 
 
 43 And Jonathan answered and said to 
 Adonijah, '"Indeed our lord king David 
 hath made Solomon king. 
 
 44 And the king hath sent with him Za- 
 dok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, 
 and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the 
 Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and they 
 have caused him to ride upon the king's 
 mule: 
 
 45 And Zadok the priest and Nathan the 
 prophet have anointed him king in Gihon : 
 and they are come up from thence rejoic- 
 ing, so that the city rang again. This is 
 the noise that ye have heard. 
 
 46 Andalso Solomon^sitteth on the throne 
 of the kingdom. 
 
 47 And moreover the king's servants 
 came to bless our lord king David, saying, 
 *God make the name of Solomon better 
 than thy name, and make his throne greater 
 than thy throne. 'And the king bowed 
 himself upon the bed. 
 
 48 And also thus said the king, Blessed 
 be Jehovah God of Israel, who hath *given 
 one to sit on my throne this day, mine eyes 
 even seeing it.

 51 And it was told Solomon, saying, Be- 
 hold, Adonijah feareth king Solomon : for 
 lo, he hath caught hold on the horns of the 
 altar, saying, Let king Solomon swear to 
 me to-day that he will not slay his servant 
 with the sword. 
 
 52 And Solomon said, If he will shew 
 himself a worthy man, "there shall not a 
 hair of him fall to the earth : but if wicked- 
 ness shall be found in him, he shall die. 
 
 53 So king Solomon sent, and they brought 
 him down from the altar. And he came 
 and bowed himself to king Solomon : and 
 Solomon said to him, Go to thy house. 
 
 CHAPTER II. 
 
 1 David, having given a charge to Solomon, 3 of 
 religiousness, 5 of Joab, 7 of Barzillai, 8 of Shi- 
 mei, 10 dieth. 12 Solomon succeedeth. 13 Ado- 
 nijah, moving Bath-sheba to sue to Solomon for 
 Abishag, is put to death. 26 Abiathar, having his 
 life given him, is deprived of the priesthood. 28 
 Joab fleeing to the horns of the altar is there slain. 
 25 Benaiah is put in Joab's room, and Zadok in 
 Abiathar's. 36 Shimei, confined to Jerusalem, by 
 occasion of going thence to Gath, is put to death. 
 
 1YTOW °the days of David drew nigh 
 -■-' that he 'must die; and he charged 
 Solomon his son, saying, 
 
 2 b l go the way of all the earth : 'be thou 
 strong therefore, and shew thyself a man ; 
 
 3 And keep the charge of Jehovah thy 
 God, to walk in his ways, to keep his Or- 
 dinances, and his commandments, and his 
 judgments, and his testimonies, as it is 
 written in the law of Moses, that thou 
 mayest d ||prosper in all that thou doest, 
 and whithersoever thou turnest thyself. 
 
 4 That Jehovah may ' 'confirm his word 
 which he spoke concerning me, saying, 'If 
 thy children take heed to their way, to 
 ? walk before me in truth, with all their 
 heart, and with all their soul, *there shall 
 not tfail thee (said he) a man on the throne 
 of Israel. 
 
 5 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, to *Abner the son of Ner, and to 
 'Amasa the son of Jether, whom he slew, 
 and tshed 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. 
 
 6 Do therefore ""according to thy wisdom, 
 and let not his 4 hoary head go down to the 
 5 grave in peace. 
 
 7 But shew kindness to the sons of "Bar- 
 zillai the Gileadite, and let them be of 
 those that "eat at thy table : for so ? they 
 came to me when I fled because of Absa- 
 lom thy brother. 
 
 8 And behold, thou hast with thee 'Shi- 
 mei the son of Gera, a Benjamite of Bahu- 
 rim, who cursed me with a t Solent curse 
 in the day when I went to Mahanaim : but 
 r he came down to meet me at Jordan, and 
 'I swore to him by Jehovah, saying, I will 
 not put thee to death with the sword. 
 
 9 Now therefore 'hold him not guiltless : 
 for thou art a wise man, and knowest what 
 thou oughtest to do to him ; but his 'hoary- 
 head "bring thou down to the 8 grave with 
 blood. 
 
 10 So 'David 9 lay with his fathers, and 
 was buried in y the city of David. 
 
 247 
 
Adonijah is put to death. 
 
 11 And the days that David deigned over 
 Israel were forty years : seven years reign- 
 ed he in Hebron, and thirty and three 
 years reigned he in Jerusalem. 
 
 12 If "Then sat Solomon upon the throne 
 of David his father; and his kingdom was 
 established I0 firmly. 
 
 13 If And Adonijah the son of Haggith 
 came to Bath-sheba the mother of Solo- 
 mon. And she said, 'Comest thou peace- 
 ably ? And he said, Peaceably. 
 
 14 He said moreover, I have "something 
 to say to thee. And she said, Say on. 
 
 15 And he said, Thou knowest that the 
 kingdom was ^ine, and that all Israel set 
 their faces on me, that I should reign : 12 yet 
 the kingdom is turned about, and is become 
 my brother's : for ^t was his from Jehovah. 
 
 16 And now I ask one petition of thee, 
 tdeny me not. And she said to him, Say on. 
 
 17 And he said, Speak, I pray thee, to 
 Solomon the king, (tor he will not 13 deny 
 thee,) that he give me 'Abishag the Shu- 
 nammite "for a wife. 
 
 18 And Bath-sheba said, Well; I will 
 speak for thee to the king. 
 
 19 If Bath-sheba therefore went to king 
 Solomon, to speak to him for Adonijah. 
 And the king rose up to meet her, and 
 ^bowed himself to her, and sat down on 
 his throne, and caused a seat to be set for 
 the king's mother; «and she sat on his right 
 hand. 
 
 20 Then she said, I desire one small 
 petition of thee ; / pray thee, I5 deny me 
 not. And the king said to her, Ask on, 
 my mother : for I will not 16 deuy thee. 
 
 21 And she said, Let Abishag the Shun- 
 nammite be given to Adonijah thy brother 
 to wife. 
 
 22 And king Solomon answered and said 
 to his mother, And why dost thou ask 
 Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? 
 ask for him the kingdom also ; for he is 
 mine elder brother ; even for him, and for 
 "Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son 
 of Zeruiah. 
 
 23 Then king Solomon swore by Jeho- 
 vah, saying, *God do so to me, and more 
 also, if Adonijah have not spoken this 
 word against his own life. 
 
 24 Now therefore as Jehovah liveth, 
 who hath established me, and set me on 
 the throne of David my father, and who 
 hath made me a house, as he "promised, 
 Adonijah shall be put to death this day. 
 
 25 And king Solomon sent by the hand 
 of Benaiah the son of Jehoiada ; and he 
 fell upon him that he died. 
 
 26 If And to Abiathar the priest said the 
 king, "Go to 'Anathoth, to ,8 thy fields ; for 
 thou art t worthy of death: but I will not 
 at this time put thee to death, '"because thou 
 19 didst bear the ark of Jehovah God before 
 David my father, and because "thou hast 
 been afflicted in all wherein my father was 
 afflicted. 
 
 27 So Solomon thrust out Abiathar from 
 being priest to the Lord; that he might 
 "fulfil the word of Jehovah, which he spoke 
 concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh. 
 
 28 ^ Then tidings came to Joab : (for 
 Joab '"had turned after Adonijah, though 
 he turned not after Absalom;) and Joab 
 fled to the M tent of Jehovah, and 'caught 
 hold on the horns of the altar.

 Joab is slain. 
 
 29 And it was told king Solomon that 
 Joab was fled to the 21 tent of Jehovah; and 
 behold, he is by the altar. Then Solomon 
 sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, 
 Go, fall upon him. 
 
 30 And Benaiah came to the 22 tent of Je- 
 hovah, and said to him, Thus saith the 
 king, Come forth. And he said, Nay; but 
 I will die here. And Benaiah Drought the 
 king word again, saying, Thus said Joab, 
 and thus he answered me. 
 
 31 And the king said to him, r 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. 
 
 32 And Jehovah ' 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, '"namely, "Abner the 
 son of Ner, captain of the host of Israel, 
 and ^Amasa the son of Jether, captain of 
 the host of Judah. 
 
 33 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 
 Jehovah. 
 
 34 So Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went 
 up, and fell upon him, and slew him : and 
 he was buried in his own house in the 
 24 waste region. 
 
 55 ^f And the king put Benaiah the son 
 of Jehoiada in his room over the host: and 
 'Zadok the priest did the king put in the 
 room of 'Abiathar. 
 
 36 If And the king sent and called for 
 d Shimei, and said to him, Build 25 thyself a 
 house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and 
 go not forth thence any whither. 
 
 37 For it shall be, that on the day thou 
 goest out, and passest "over the brook 
 Kidron, thou shalt know 26 certainly that 
 thou shalt surely die : ^thy blood shall be 
 upon thine own head. 
 
 38 And Shimei said to the king, The say- 
 ing is good: as my lord the king hath said, 
 so will thy servant do. And Shimei dwelt 
 in Jerusalem many days. 
 
 39 And it came to pass at the end of three 
 years, that two of the servants of Shimei 
 ran away to ^Achish son of Maachah king 
 of Gath: and they told Shimei, saying, 
 Behold, thy servants "are in Gath. 
 
 40 And Shimei arose and saddled his ass, 
 and went to Gath to Achish to seek his 
 servants: and Shimei went and brought 
 his servants from Gath. 
 
 41 And it was told Solomon that Shimei 
 had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and was 
 come again. 
 
 42 And the king sent and called for Shi- 
 mei, and said to him, Did I not make thee 
 28 swear by Jehovah, and 29 protested to 
 thee, saying, Know 30 certainly, on the day 
 thou goest out, and walkest abroad any 
 whither, that thou shalt surely die? and 
 thou saidst to me, The word that I have 
 heard is good. 
 
 43 Why then hast thou not kept the oath 
 of Jehovah, and the commandment that I 
 have charged thee with ? 
 
 44 The king said moreover to Shimei, 
 Thou knowest "all the wickedness which 
 
Solomon asketh wisdom of God. 
 
 thy heart is "acquainted with, which thou 
 didst to David my father: therefore Jeho- 
 vah shall 'return thy wickedness upon thine 
 own head ; 
 
 45 And king Solomon shall be blessed, 
 and *the throne of David shall be estab- 
 lished before Jehovah for ever. 
 
 46 So the king commanded Benaiah the 
 son of Jehoiada ; who went out, and fell 
 upon him, ^and he died. And the king- 
 dom was established in the hand of Solo- 
 mon. 
 
 CHAPTER III. 
 
 1 Solomon marrieth Pkaraoli's daughter. 2 High 
 places being in use, Solomon sacrificeth at Gibeon. 
 5 Solomon at Gibeon, in the choice which God gave 
 him, preferring wisdom, obtaineth wisdom, riches, 
 and honour. 16 Solomon's judgment between the 
 two harlots maketh him renowned. 
 
 AND "Solomon made affinity with Pha- 
 raoh king of Egypt, and took Pharaoh's 
 daughter, and brought her into the *city of 
 David, until he had made an end of build- 
 ing his 'own house, and •'the house of Jeho- 
 vah, and 'the wall of Jerusalem round 
 about. 
 
 2 /Only the people sacrificed in high 
 places, because there was no house built 
 to the name of Jehovah, until those days. 
 
 3 And Solomon ff loved Jehovah, ''walk- 
 ing in the 'ordinances of David his father : 
 only he sacrificed and burnt incense in 
 high places. 
 
 4 And 'the king went to Gibeon to sacri- 
 fice there; 'for that was the great high 
 
 {•lace : a thousand burnt-offerings did So- 
 omon offer upon that altar. 
 
 5 If ' In Gibeon Jehovah appeared to Solo- 
 mon m in a dream by night : and God said, 
 Ask what I shall give thee. 
 
 6 "And Solomon said, Thou hast shewed 
 to thy servant David my father great [^kind- 
 ness, according as he "walked before thee in 
 truth, and in righteousness, and in upright- 
 ness of heart with thee ; and thou hast kept 
 for him this great kindness, that thou p hast 
 given him a son to sit on his throne, as it 
 is this day. 
 
 7 And now, O Jehovah my God, thou 
 hast made thy servant king instead of Da- 
 vid my father: «and I am but a little child: 
 I know not how to go out or come in. 
 
 8 And thy servant is in the midst of thy 
 people which thou "hast chosen, a great 
 people, 'that cannot be numbered nor 
 counted for multitude. 
 
 9 "Give therefore thy servant an tunder- 
 standing heart r to judge thy people, that I 
 may "discern between good and bad : for 
 who is able to judge 3 these thy people, who 
 are so numerous ? 
 
 10 And the speech pleased the 4 Lord, 
 that Solomon had asked this thing. 
 
 11 And God said to him, Because thou 
 hast asked this thing, and hast r not asked 
 for thyself tlong life ; neither hast asked 
 riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life 
 of thine enemies : but hast asked for thy- 
 self understanding tto discern judgment ; 
 
 12 "Behold, I have done according to thy 
 words : *lo, I have given thee a wise and 
 an understanding heart; so that there 6 hath 
 been no one like thee before thee, neither 
 after thee shall any arise like to thee 
 
 13 And I have also "given thee that which 
 thou hast not asked, Doth •'riches, and ho-

 His judgment between two harlots. 
 
 nour: so that there ||shall not be any among 
 the kings like to thee, all thy days. 
 
 14 And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to 
 keep my Ordinances and my command- 
 ments, 'as thy father David did walk, then 
 I will ^lengthen thy days. 
 
 15 And Solomon f awoke ; and behold, it 
 was a dream. And he came to Jerusalem, 
 and stood before the ark of the covenant 
 of Jehovah, and offered up burnt-offerings, 
 and offered 'thank-offerings, and *made a 
 feast to all his servants. 
 
 16 f Then came there two women, that 
 were harlots, to the king, and 'stood before 
 him. 
 
 17 And the one woman said, O my lord. 
 I and this woman dwell in one house; and 
 I was delivered of a child with her in the 
 house. 
 
 18 And it came to pass the third day after 
 that I was delivered, that this woman was 
 delivered also : and we were together; there 
 was no stranger with us in the house, 8 only 
 we two 'were' in the house. 
 
 19 And this woman's child died in the 
 night; because she overlaid it. 
 
 20 And she arose at midnight, and took 
 my son from beside me, while thy hand- 
 maid slept, and laid it in her bosom, and 
 laid her dead child in my bosom. 
 
 21 And when I arose in the morning to 
 9 suckle my child, behold, it was dead:T)ut 
 when I had 10 observed it in the morning, 
 behold, it was not my son, whom I did bear. 
 
 22 And the other woman said, Nay ; but 
 the living is my son, and the dead is thy 
 son. And this said, No ; but the dead is 
 thy son, and the living is my son. Thus 
 they spoke before the king. 
 
 23 Then said the king, The one saith, 
 This is my son that liveth, and thy son is 
 the dead ; and the other saith, Nay ; but thy 
 son is the dead, and my son is the living. 
 
 24 And the king said, Bring me a sword, 
 And they brought a sword before the king. 
 
 25 And the king said, Divide the living 
 child in two, and give half to the one, and 
 half to the other. 
 
 26 Then spoke the woman whose the liv- 
 ing child was to the king, for *her "heart 
 tyearned upon her son, and she said, O 
 my lord, give her the living child, and 
 ^by no means slay it. But the other said, 
 Let it be neither mine nor thine, but di- 
 vide it. 
 
 27 Then the king answered and said, 
 Give her the living child, and I3 by no 
 means slay it : she is the mother of it. 
 
 28 And all Israel heard of the judgment 
 which the king had judged ; and they fear- 
 ed the king : for they saw that the 'wisdom 
 of God was tin him, to do judgment. 
 
 CHAPTER IV. 
 
 1 Solomon's princes. 7 His twelve officers for pro- 
 vision. 20, 24 The peace and largeness of his 
 kingdom. 22 His daily provision. 26 His stables. 
 29 His wisdom. 
 
 SO king Solomon was king over all Israel. 
 2 And these were the princes whom he 
 had : Azariah the son of Zadok the Hpriest ; 
 
 3 Elihoreph and Ahiah, the sons of Shisha, 
 llscribes ; "Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, 
 the Hrecorder. 
 
 4 And 'Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was 
 over the host: and Zadok and 'Abiathai 
 were the priests : 
 
 249 
 
Solomon's chief officers of state. 
 
 5 And Azariah the son of Nathan was 
 over d the officers : and Zabud the son 
 of Nathan was 'principal officer, and 'the 
 king's friend : 
 
 6 And Ahishar was over the household : 
 and ^Adoniram the son of Abda was over 
 the || tribute. 
 
 7 ^f And Solomon had twelve officers 
 over all Israel, who provided victuals for 
 the king and his household : each man his 
 month in a year made provision. 
 
 8 And these are their names : flThe son 
 of Hur, in mount Ephraim : 
 
 9 ||The son of Dekar, in Makaz, and in 
 Shaalbim, and Beth-shemesh and Elon- 
 beth-hanan : 
 
 10 || The son of Hesed, in 'Arubboth to 
 him "belonged Sochoh, and all the land of 
 Hepher : 
 
 11 ||The son of Abinadab, in all the 2 high- 
 region of Dor ; who had Taphath the daugh- 
 ter of Solomon 4 for a wife : 
 
 12 Baana the son of Ahilud ; to him b be- 
 Zong-edTaanachand Megiddo, and all Beth-

 reel, from Beth-shean to Abel-meholah, 
 eventothe 6 region that is beyond Jokneam: 
 
 13 ||The son of Geber, in Ramoth-gilead; 
 to him ''belonged Hhe towns of Jair the son 
 of Manasseh, which are in Gilead ; to him 
 also belonged 'the region of Argob, which 
 is in Bashan, threescore great cities with 
 walls and brazen bars : 
 
 14 Ahinadab the son of Iddo had ||Maha- 
 naim: 
 
 15 Ahimaaz was in Naphtah; he also took 
 Basmath the daughter of Solomon 9 for a 
 wife : 
 
 16 Baanah the son of Hushai was in Asher 
 and in Aloth : 
 
 17 Jehoshaphat the son of Paruah, in Is- 
 sachar : 
 
 18 Shimei the son of Elah, in Benjamin: 
 
 19 Geber the son of Uri was in the coun- 
 try of Gilead, in *the country of Sihon king 
 or the Amorites, and of Og king of Ba- 
 shan ; and he was the only officer who was 
 in the land. 
 
 20 If Judah and Israel were many, ! as the 
 sand which is by the sea in multitude, "eat- 
 ing and drinking, and making merry. 
 
 21 And "Solomon 10 ruled over all king- 
 doms from "the river to the land of the 
 Philistines, and to the border of Egypt : 
 'they brought presents, and served Solo- 
 mon all the days of his life. 
 
 22 ^f And Solomon's tprovision for one 
 day was thirty tmeasures of fine flour, 
 and threescore measures of meal, 
 
 23 Ten "stalled oxen, and twenty oxen 
 out of the pastures, and a hundred sheep, 
 besides harts, and 12 antelopes, and fallow- 
 deer, and fatted fowl. 
 
 24 For he had dominion over all the re- 
 gion on this side the river, from Tiphsah 
 even to 13 Gaza, over 'all the kings on this 
 side ' of the river : and r he had peace on 
 all sides round about him. 
 
 25 And Judah and Israel 'dwelt tsafely, 
 ' 14 each man under his vine and under his 
 fig-tree, "from Dan even to Beer-sheba, all 
 the days of Solomon.

 Solomon's extraordinary wisdom, 
 
 for king Solomon, and for all that came to 
 king Solomon's table, 15 each man in his 
 month : they lacked nothing. 
 
 28 Barley also and straw for the horses 
 and Hdromedaries brought they to the place 
 where the officers were, every man accord- 
 ing to his charge. 
 
 29 If And "God gave Solomon ' very great' 
 wisdom and understanding l6 , and "en- 
 largement of mind, even as the sand that 
 is on the sea-shore. 
 
 30 And Solomon's wisdom excelled the 
 wisdom of all the children 'of the east 
 country, and all 'the wisdom of Egypt. 
 
 31 For he was d wiser than all men ; 'than 
 Ethan the Ezrahite, 'and Heman, and 
 Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol : 
 and his fame was in all nations round 
 about. 
 
 32 And <he spoke three thousand pro- 
 verbs : and his *songs were a thousand and 
 five. 
 
 33 And he spoke of trees, from the cedar- 
 tree that is in Lebanon, even to the hyssop 
 that springeth out of the wall : he spoke 
 also of beasts, and of fowls, and of creep- 
 ing things, and of fishes. 
 
 34 And *there came ' men' of all people 
 to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all 
 kings of the earth, who had heard of his 
 wisdom. 
 
 CHAPTER V. 
 
 1 Hiram, sending to congratulate Solomon, is cer- 
 tified of his purpose to build the temple, and desired 
 to furnish him with timber thereto. 7 Hiram, 
 blessing God for Solomon, and requesting food for 
 his family, furnisheth him with trees. 13 The 
 number of Solomon's workmen and labourers. 
 
 AND "Hiram king of Tyre sent his ser- 
 vants to Solomon ; for he had heard 
 that they had anointed him king in the 
 room of his father : *for Hiram was 'always 
 a lover of David. 
 
 2 And 'Solomon sent to Hiram,_ saying, 
 
 3 Thou knowest how that David my fa- 
 ther could not build a house to the name 
 of Jehovah his God, d for the wars which 
 were about him on every side, until Jeho- 
 vah put them under the soles of his feet. 
 
 4 But now Jehovah my God hath given 
 me 'rest on every side, so that there is 
 neither adversary nor evil Occurrence. 
 
 5 'And behold, I tpurpose to build a house 
 to the name of Jehovah my God, g &$ Je- 
 hovah spoke to David my father, saying, 
 Thy son, whom I will set upon thy throne 
 in thy room, he shall build a house to my 
 name. 
 
 6 Now therefore command thou, that 
 they hew me *cedar -trees out of Lebanon; 
 and my servants shall be with thy servants : 
 and to thee will I give hire for thy servants 
 according to all that thou shalt tappoint : 
 for thou knowest that there is not among 
 us any that 3 have skill to hew timber like 
 the Zidonians. 
 
 7 If And it came to pass, when Hiram 
 heard the words of Solomon, that he re- 
 joiced greatly, and said, Blessed be Je- 
 hovah this day, who hath given to David 
 a wise son over this great people. 
 
 8 And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, 
 I have tconsidered the things which thou 
 sentest to me for: and I will do all thy 
 desire concerning timber of cedar, and 
 concerning timber of 4 cypress, 
 
givelh timber to Solomon. 
 
 "9 My servants shall bring them down 
 from Lebanon to the sea : 'and I will con 
 vey them by sea in 5 rafts to the place that 
 thou shalt tappoint me, and will cause them 
 to be discharged there, and thou shalt re- 
 ceive them: and thou shalt accomplish my 
 desire, * 6 by giving food for my household. 
 
 10 So Hiram gave Solomon cedar -trees and 
 ''cypress-trees according- to all his desire. 
 
 11 'And Solomon gave Hiram twenty 
 thousand tmeasures of wheat for food to 
 his household, and twenty measures of 
 pure oil: thus gave Solomon to Hiram 
 year by year. 
 
 12 And Jehovah gave Solomon wisdom, 
 ""as he ' had' promised him : and there was 
 peace between Hiram and Solomon ; and 
 they two made a 8 league together. 
 
 13 f And king Solomon raised a tlevy 
 out of all Israel; and the levy was thirty 
 thousand men. 
 
 14 And he sent them to Lebanon ten 
 thousand a month by courses; a month 
 they were in Lebanon, and two months at 
 home. And "Adoniram was over the levy. 
 
 15 *And_ Solomon had threescore and ten 
 thousand "that bore burdens, and fourscore 
 thousand 5 wood -cutters in the mountains ; 
 
 16 Besides the 10 chiefs of Solomon's offi- 
 cers who were over the work, three thou- 
 sand and three hundred, who ruled over 
 the people that wrought in the work. 
 
 17 And the king commanded, and they 
 brought great stones, costly stones, and 
 shewed stones, to lay the foundation of 
 the house. 
 
 18 And Solomon's builders, and Hiram's 
 builders did hew them, and the ||stone- 
 squarers : so they prepared timber and 
 stones to build the house.

 and adorning of it. 23 The cherubim. 31 Tht\

 A ND "it came to pass in the four hun- 
 *£}- dred and eightieth year after the 
 children of Israel were come out of the 
 land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solo- 
 mon's reign over Israel, in the month Zif, 
 which is the second month, that J he tbegan 
 to build the house of Jehovah. 
 
 2 And the house which king Solomon 
 built for Jehovah, the length thereof was 
 threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof 
 twenty cubits, and the height thereof thirty 
 cubits. 
 
 3 And the porch before the temple of the 
 house, twenty cubits was the length there- 
 of, 'according to the breadth of the house ; 
 and ten cubits was the breadth thereof, 
 uefore the house. 
 
 4 And for the house he made 'latticed' 
 d windows. 2 
 
 5_f And ||against the wall of the house he 
 built ' stories of e tchambers round about, 
 against the walls of the house round about, 
 both of the temple %id of the oracle : and 
 he made tchambers round about. 
 
 6 The 3 lower story was five cubits broad, 
 and the middle was six cubits broad, and 
 the third was seven cubits broad : for with- 
 out in the wall of the house he made tnar- 
 rowed rests round about, that the beams 
 should not be fastened in the walls of the 
 house. m

 7 And E the house, when it was in build- 
 ing, was built of stone made ready before 
 it was brought thither : so that there was 
 neither hammer nor axe, nor any tool of 
 iron heard in the house, while it wa9 in 
 building. 
 
 8 The door for the middle *story was in 
 the right tside of the house: and they 
 went up with winding stairs into the middle 
 ''story, and out of the middle into the third. 
 
 9 A So he built the house, and finished it ; 
 and covered the house with 6 boards and 
 ranges of cedar. 
 
 10 And then he built ' stories of cham- 
 bers against all the house, five cubits high: 
 and they rested on the house with timber 
 of cedar. 
 
 11 If And the word of Jehovah came to 
 Solomon, saying, 
 
 12 Concerning this house which thou art 
 in building, Ifthou wilt walk in 7 mine 
 ordinances, and execute my judgments, 
 and keep all my commandments to walk 
 in them; then will I perform my word 
 with thee, 'which I spoke to David thy 
 father : 
 
 13 And 'I will dwell among the children 
 of Israel, and will not "forsake my people 
 Israel. 
 
 14 "So Solomon built the house, and 
 finished it. 
 
 15 And he built the walls of the house 
 within with 8 boards of cedar, l|both the 
 floor of the house, and the walls of the 
 ceiling: and he covered them on the in= 
 side with wood, and covered the floor of 
 the house with 9 boards of cypress. 
 
 16 And he built twenty cubits on the 
 sides of the house, both the floor and the 
 walls with 10 beams of cedar : he even built 
 them for it within, even for the oracle, even 
 for the "most holy place. 
 
 17 And the house, that is, the temple be- 
 fore it, was forty cubits long. 
 
 18 And the cedar of the house within 
 was carved with "wild cucumbers and 
 topen flowers : all was cedar ; there was 
 no stone seen. 
 
 19 And the oracle he prepared in the 
 house within, to set there the ark of the 
 covenant of Jehovah. 
 
 20 And the oracle in the forepart was 
 twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits 
 in breadth, and twenty cubits in the height 
 thereof: and he overlaid it with tpure gold ; 
 and so covered the altar which was of 
 cedar. 
 
 21 So Solomon overlaid the house within 
 with pure gold : and he made a. partition 
 by the chains of gold before the oracle ; 
 and he overlaid it with gold. 
 
 22 And the whole house he overlaid with 
 gold, until he had finished all the house: 
 also the whole altar that was by the oracle 
 he overlaid with gold. 
 
 23 ff And within the oracle 'he made two 
 cherubim of || tolive-tree, each ten cubit9 
 
 hi § h - 
 
 24 And five cubits was the one wing of 
 
 the cherub, and five cubits the other wing 
 of the cherub : from the uttermost part of 
 the one wing to the uttermost part of the 
 other were ten cubits. 
 
 25 And the other cherub to as ten cubits : 
 both the cherubim were of one measure 
 and one "form. 
 
 251 
 
Solomon's other buildings. 
 
 26 The height of the one cherub was ten 
 cubits, and so was it of the other cherub. 
 
 27 Aud he set the cherubim within the 
 inner house: and r ||they stretched forth 
 the wings of the cherubim, so that the wing 
 of the one touched the one wall, and the 
 wing of the other cherub touched the other 
 wall; and their wings touched one another 
 in the midst of the house. 
 
 28 And he overlaid the cherubim with 
 gold. 
 
 29 And he carved all the walls of the 
 house round about with carved figures of 
 cherubim, and palm-trees, and topen 
 flowers, within and without. 
 
 30 And the floor of the house he overlaid 
 with gold, within and without. 
 
 31 % And for the entering of the oracle 
 he made doors of olive-tree : the lintel 
 and side-posts were ||a fifth part of the wall. 
 
 32 The iftwo doors also were of olive-tree; 
 and he carved upon them carvings of che- 
 rubim, and palm-trees, and topen flowers, 
 and overlaid them with gold, and spread 
 gold upon the cherubim, and upon the 
 palm-trees. 
 
 33 So also made he for the door of the 
 temple, posts of olive-tree, |]a fourth part 
 of the wall. 
 
 34 And the two doors were of "cypress - 
 tree : the "two leaves of the one door were 
 folding, and the two leaves of the other 
 door were folding. 
 
 35 And he carved thereon cherubim, and 
 palm-trees, and open flowers ; and cover- 
 ed them with gold, fitted upon the carved 
 work. 
 
 36 If And he built the inner court with 
 three rows of hewed stone, and a row of 
 cedar beams. 
 
 37 If 'In the fourth year was the founda- 
 tion of the house of Jehovah laid, in the 
 month Zif : 
 
 38 And in the eleventh year, in the month 
 Bui (which is the eighth month) was the 
 house finished Hthroughout all the parts 
 thereof, and according to all the fashion 
 of it. So was he "seven years in building it.

 BUT Solomon was building his own 
 house "thirteen years, and he finished 
 all his house. 
 
 2 U He built also the house of the forest 
 of Lebanon; the length thereof was a hun- 
 dred cubits, and the breadth thereof fifty 
 cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits, 
 upon four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar 
 beams upon the pillars. 
 
 3 And it was covered with cedar above 
 upon the tbeams that lay on forty-five pil- 
 lars, fifteen in a row. 
 
 4 And there were ' latticed' windows in 
 three rows, and flight was against light in 
 
 , three ranks. 
 
 5 And all the ||doors and posts were square 
 with 'layers of beams : and light was against 
 light in three ranks.

 Hirani's work of the two pillars. 
 
 porch was || before them: and the other 
 pillars and the 2 thresholds were || before 
 them. 
 
 7 If Then he made a porch for the throne 
 where he might judge, even the porch of 
 judgment : and it was covered with cedar 
 from 3 floor to floor. 
 
 8 If And his house where he dwelt had 
 another court within the porch, which was 
 of the like work. Solomon made also a 
 house for Pharaoh's daughter, 'whom he 
 had taken *for a wife, like 5 this porch. 
 
 9 All these were of costly stones, accord- 
 ing to the measures of hewed stones, sawed 
 with saws, within and without, even from 
 the foundation to the coping, and so on the 
 outside towards the great court. 
 
 10 And the foundation was of costly 
 stones, even great stones; stones of ten 
 cubits, and stones of eight cubits. 
 
 11 And above were costly stones, after 
 the measures of hewed stones, and cedars. 
 
 12 And the great court round about was 
 with three rows of hewed stones, and a row 
 of cedar beams, both for the inner court of 
 the house of Jehovah, c and for the porch 
 of the house. 
 
 13 f And king Solomon sent and 6 brought 
 d Hiram out of Tyre. 
 
 14 'He was ta widow's son of the tribe of 
 Naphtali, and 'his father was a man of 
 Tyre, a worker in brass; and f he was filled 
 with wisdom, and understanding, and 'skil- 
 ful to work all works in brass. And he 
 came to king Solomon, and wrought all his 
 work. 
 
 15 For he tcast *two pillars of brass, of 
 eighteen cubits high 8 each: and a line of 
 twelve cubits did compass either of them 
 about. 
 
 16 And he made two Capitals of molten 
 brass, to set upon the tops of the pillars : 
 the height of the one 10 capital was five 
 cubits, and the height of the other "capital 
 was five cubits : 
 
 17 And nets of checker-work, and wreaths 
 of chain-work, for the "capitals which were 
 upon the top of the pillars ; seven for the 
 one 13 capital, and seven for the other 
 'capital. 
 
 18 And he made the pillars, and two 
 rows round about upon the one net- work, 
 to cover the "capitals that were upon the 
 top, with pomegranates : and so did he for 
 the other l6 capital. 
 
 19 And the "capitals that were upon the 
 top of the pillars were of lily-work in the 
 porch, four cubits. 
 
 20 And the '"capitals upon the two pillars 
 had pomegranates also above, over against 
 the belly which was by the net-work : and 
 the pomegranates were "two hundred in 
 rows round about upon the other "capital. 
 
 21 *And he set up the pillars in ! the porch 
 of the temple : and he set up the right pil- 
 lar, and called the name thereof (JJachin : 
 and he set up the left pillar, and called the 
 name thereof ||Boaz,. 
 
 22 And upon the top of the pillars was 
 lily-work : so was the work of the pillars 
 finished. 
 
 23 If And he made m a molten sea, ten 
 cubits tfrom the one brim to the other : it 
 was round all about, and its height was 
 five cubits : and a line of thirty cubits did 
 compass it round about. 
 
Qf the molten sea, ten bases 
 
 24 And under the brim of it round about 
 there were "wild cucumbers compassing it, 
 ten in a cubit, "compassing the sea round 
 about: the *' wild cucumbers were cast in 
 two rows, when it was cast. 
 
 25 It stood upon "twelve oxen, three look 
 ing towards the north, and three looking 
 towards the west, and three looking towards 
 the south, and three looking towards the 
 east: and the sea was set above upon them, 
 and all their hinder parts were inward. 
 
 26 And it was a hand-breadth thick, and 
 the brim thereof was wrought like the brim 
 of a cup, with flowers of lilies: it contained 
 p two thousand baths. 
 
 27 *fl And he made ten bases of brass ; 
 four cubits was the length of one base, and 
 four cubits the breadth thereof, and three 
 cubits the height of it. 
 
 28 And the work of the bases was M thus: 
 They had borders, and the borders were 
 between the ledges : 
 
 29 And on the borders that were between 
 the ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubim : 
 and upon the ledges there was a base above : 
 and beneath the lions and oxen were "hang- 
 ing wreaths. 
 
 30 And^each base had four brazen wheels, 
 and ^axles of brass : and the four corners 
 thereof had ^shoulders: under the laver 
 were w shoulders molten, at the side of 
 re each wreath. 
 
 31 And the mouth of it within the ^capi- 
 tal and above was a cubit : but the mouth 
 thereof was round after the work of the 
 base, a cubit and a half: and also upon the 
 mouth of it were ^carvings with their bor- 
 ders, four-square, not round. 
 
 32 And under the borders were four 
 wheels; and the axletrees of the wheels 
 were ^joined to the base : and the height 
 of a wheel was a cubit and half a cubit. 
 
 33 And the work of the wheels was like 
 the work of a chariot wheel : their axle- 
 trees, and their 31 felloes, and their ^spokes, 
 and their ''naves, were all molten. 
 
 34 And there were four "shoulders to the 
 four corners of one base : and the K shoul- 
 ders were of the very base itself. 
 
 35 And "on the top of the base was there 
 a round compass of half a cubit high : and 
 on the top of the base the ledges thereof 
 and the borders thereof were of the same. 
 
 36 For on the plates of the ledges thereof, 
 and on the borders thereof, he 37 carved 
 cherubim, lions, and palm-trees, accord- 
 ing to the t 38 space of ^each one, and 
 40 wreaths round about. 
 
 37 After this manner he made the ten 
 bases: all of them had one casting, one 
 measure, and one 4, form. 
 
 38 If Then 'made he ten lavers of brass : 
 one laver contained forty baths : and every 
 laver was four cubits: and upon 42 each one 
 of the ten bases one laver. 
 
 39 And he put five bases on the right 
 tside of the house, and five on the left side 
 of the house: and he set the sea on the 
 right side of the house eastward, over 
 against the south. 
 
 40 % And t Hiram made the lavers, and 
 the shovels, and the "bowls. So Hiram 
 made an end of doing all the work that he 
 marie king Solomon for the house of Jeho- 
 vah.

 of the ^capitals that were on the top of the 
 two pillars; and the two r net-works, to 
 cover the two 46 globes of the "capitals 
 which were upon the top of the pillars ; 
 
 42 And four hundred pomegranates for 
 the two net- works, even two rows of pome- 
 granates for one net-work, to cover the 
 two 48 globes of the 49 capitals that were 
 tupon the pillars ; 
 
 43 And the ten bases, and ten lavers on 
 the bases ; 
 
 44 And one sea, and twelve oxen under 
 the sea ; 
 
 45 'And the pots, and the shovels, and the 
 basins : and all these vessels which Hiram 
 made to king Solomon for the house of Je- 
 hovah, ivere of t w polished brass. 
 
 46 'In the plain of Jordan did the king 
 cast them, tin the clay-ground between 
 "Succoth and r Zarthan. 
 
 47 And Solomon left all the vessels un- 
 weighed, t because they were exceeding 
 many : neither was the weight of the brass 
 tfound out. 
 
 48 And Solomon made all the vessels that 
 ^belonged to the house of Jehovah : "the 
 altar of gold, and 'the table of gold, upon 
 "which was the 52 presence-bread. 
 
 49 And the candlesticks of pure gold, five 
 on the right side, and five on the left, be- 
 fore the oracle, with the flowers, and the 
 lamps, and the tongs of gold, 
 
 50 And the bowls, and the snuffers, and 
 the basins, and the spoons, and the t^fire- 
 
 ?ans o/"pure gold ; and the hinges of gold, 
 oth for the doors of the inner house, the 
 most holy place, and for the doors of the 
 house, to wit, of the temple. 
 
 51 So was ended all the work that king 
 Solomon made for the house of Jehovah. 
 And Solomon brought in the tthings 'which 
 David his father had dedicated: even the 
 silver, and the gold, and the vessels, did he 
 
 Jut among the treasures of the house of 
 ehovah. 
 
 CHAPTER VIII. 
 
 1 The feast of the dedication of the temple. 12, 64 
 Solomon's blessing. 22 Solomon's prayer. 62 His 
 sacrifice of 1 thank-offerings. 
 
 THEN "Solomon assembled the elders 
 of Israel, and all the heads of the 
 tribes, the ^princes of the fathers of the 
 children of Israel, to king Solomon in Je- 
 rusalem, 'that they might bring up the ark 
 of the covenant of Jehovah <Out of the city 
 of David, which is Zion. 
 
 2 And all the men of Israel assembled 
 themselves to king Solomon at the "feast 
 in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh 
 month. 
 
 S And all the elders of Israel came, 'and 
 the priests took up the ark. 
 
 4 And they brought up the ark of Jeho- 
 vah, 'and the s tent of the congregation, 
 and all the holy vessels that were in the 
 4 tent, even those did the priests and the 
 Levites bring up. 
 
 5 And king Solomon, and all the congre- 
 gation of Israel, that were assembled 'by 
 appointment' to him, were with him before 
 the ark, ^sacrificing sheep and oxen, that 
 could not be Reckoned nor numbered for 
 multitude. 
 
 6 And the priests "brought in the ark of 
 the covenant of Jehovah to 'its place, into 
 the oracle of the house, to the most holy 
 
 253 
 
The feast of the 
 
 Slace, even Ninder the wings of the cheru- 
 im. 
 
 7 For the cherubim spread forth their two 
 wings over the place of the ark, and the 
 cherubim covered the ark and the staves 
 thereof above. 
 
 8 And they 'drew out the staves, ' so' that 
 the tends ot the staves were seen out in the 
 llholy place before the oracle, and they were 
 not seen without: and there they are to 
 this day. 
 
 9 m There was nothing in the ark n6 except 
 the two tables of stone, which Moses "put 
 there at Horeb, ||*when Jehovah made a 
 covenant with the children of Israel, when 
 they came out of the land of Egypt. 
 
 10 And it came to pass, when the priests 
 Tiad come out of the holy place, that the 
 cloud 'filled the house of Jehovah, 
 
 11 So that the priests could not stand to 
 minister because of the cloud : for the glory 
 of Jehovah had filled the house of Jehovah. 
 
 12 If 'Then spoke Solomon, Jehovah said 
 that he would dwell s 'm 8 thick darkness. 
 
 13 'I have surely built thee a house to 
 dwell in, "a settled 'habitation for thee to 
 abide in for ever. 
 
 14 And the king turned his face about, 
 and 'blessed all the congregation of Israel : 
 and all the congregation of Israel stood ; 
 
 15 And he said, ^Blessed be Jehovah God 
 of Israel, who *spoke with his mouth to 
 David my father, and hath with his hand 
 fulfilled it, saying, 
 
 16 "Since the day that I brought forth my 
 people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city 
 out of all the tribes of Israel to build a 
 house, that 'my name might be there ; but 
 I chose 'David to be over my people Israel. 
 
 17 And d it was in the heart of David my 
 father to build a house for the name of 
 Jehovah God of Israel. 
 
 18 'And Jehovah said to David my fa- 
 ther, "Because it was in thy heart to build 
 a house to my name, thou didst well that 
 it was in thy heart. 
 
 19 Nevertheless, -thou shalt not build the 
 house ; but thy son "who shall be begotten 
 by thee, he shall build the house to my 
 name. 
 
 20 And Jehovah hath performed his word 
 which he spoke, and I am risen up in the 
 room of David my father, and sit on the 
 throne of Israel, f as Jehovah promised, 
 and have built a house for the name of Je- 
 hovah God of Israel. 
 
 21 And I have set there a place for the 
 ark, wherein is "the covenant of Jehovah, 
 which he made with our fathers, when he 
 brought them l2 from the land of Egypt. 
 
 22 f And Solomon stood before 'the altar 
 of Jehovah in the presence of all the con- 
 gregation of Israel, and 'spread forth his 
 hands towards heaven : 
 
 23 And he said, Jehovah God of Israel, 
 m there is no God like thee, in heaven above, 
 or on earth beneath, "who keepest covenant 
 and "kindness with thy servants that "walk 
 before thee with all their heart : 
 
 24 Who hast kept with thy servant David 
 my father that ' which' thou didst promise 
 him: thou didst speak also with thy mouth, 
 and hast fulfilled it with thy hand, as it is 
 this day. 
 
 25 Therefore now, Jehovah God of Israel, 
 keep with thy servant David my father that

 cust, or if there be 19 caterpillar ; if their 
 enemy besiege them in the land of their 
 Hcities, whatever plague, whatever sickness 
 there be; 
 
 38 Whatever prayer and supplication be 
 made by any man, or by all thy people 
 Israel, who shall know ^each man the 
 plague of his own heart, and spread forth 
 his hands towards this house : 
 
 39 Then hear thou in heaven thy dwell- 
 ing-place, and forgive, and do, and give to 
 every man according to his ways, whose 
 heart thou knowest; (for thou, even thou 
 only, s knowest the hearts of all the child- 
 ren of men ;) 
 
Solomon's prayer at ths 
 
 40 "That they may fear thee all the days 
 that they live in the land which thou didst 
 give to our fathers. 
 
 41 Moreover, concerning a stranger, that 
 is not of thy people Israel, but cometh out 
 of a far country tor thy name's sake ; 
 
 42 (For they shall hear of thy great name, 
 and of thy 'strong hand, and of thy stretch- 
 ed-out arm ;) when he shall come and pray 
 towards this house ; 
 
 43 Hear thou in heaven thy dwelling- 
 place, and do according to all that the 
 stranger calleth to thee for : *that all peo- 
 ple of the earth may know thy name, to 
 'fear thee, as do thy people Israel ; and 
 that they may know that tthis house which 
 I have builded is called by thy name. 
 
 44 If If thy people go out to battle against 
 their enemy, whithersoever thou shalt send 
 them, and shall pray to Jehovah ttowards 
 the city which thou hast chosen, and to- 
 wards the house that I have built for thy 
 name. 
 
 45 Then hear thou in heaven their prayer 
 and their supplication, and maintain their 
 2I right 
 
 46 If they sin against thee, ( m for there is 
 no man that sinneth not.,) and thou be 
 angry with them, and deliver them to the 
 enemy, so that they carry them away 
 captives "to the land of the enemy, far or 
 near; 
 
 47 "Yet if they shall tbethink themselves 
 in the land whither they were carried cap- 
 tives, and ^turn, and make supplication 
 to thee in the land of those who carried 
 them captives, p saying, "We have sinned, 
 and have done perversely, we have com- 
 mitted wickedness ; 
 
 48 And so s23 turn to thee with all their 
 heart, and with all their soul, in the land 
 of their enemies who led them away cap- 
 tives, and "pray to thee towards their land, 
 which thou didst, give to their fathers, the 
 city which thou hast chosen, and the house 
 which I have built for thy name : 
 
 49 Then hear thou their prayer and their 
 supplication in heaven thy dwelling-place, 
 and maintain their ^right, 
 
 50 And forgive thy people that have sin- 
 ned against thee, and all their transgres- 
 sions wherein they have transgressed 
 against thee, and 'give them compassion 
 before those who carried them captives, 
 that they may have compassion on them : 
 
 51 For they are thy people, and thine in- 
 heritance, whom thou broughtest forth out 
 of Egypt, "from the midst of the furnace 
 of iron : 
 
 52 That thine eyes may be open to the 
 supplication of thy servant, and to the 
 supplication of thy people Israel, to 
 hearken to them in all that 26 for which 
 they call to thee. 
 
 53 For thou didst separate them from 
 among all the people of the earth, to be 
 thine inheritance, *as thou didst speak by 
 the hand of Moses thy servant, when thou 
 broughtest our fathers 27 from Egypt, 
 Lord Jehovah. 
 
 54 And it ^came to pass, that when So- 
 lomon had made an end of praying all this 
 prayer and supplication to Jehovah, he 
 arose from before the altar of Jehovah, 
 from kneeling on his knees with his hands 
 spread ^towards heaven.

 55 And he stood "and blessed all the 
 congregation of Israel with a loud voice, 
 saying, 
 
 56 Blessed be Jehovah, who hath given 
 rest to his people Israel, according to all 
 that ' which' he promised : *there hath not 
 tfailed one word of all his good promise, 
 which he promised by the hand of Moses 
 his servant. 
 
 57 Jehovah our God be with us, as he 
 was with our fathers : "let him not leave 
 us, nor forsake us : « 
 
 58 That he may Incline our hearts to 
 him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep 
 his commandments, and his ^ordinances, 
 and his judgments, which he commanded 
 our fathers. 
 
 59 And let these my words wherewith I 
 have made supplication before Jehovah, 
 be nigh to Jehovah our God day and night, 
 that he maintain the cause of his servant, 
 and the cause of his people Israel tat all 
 times, as the matter shall require : 
 
 60 'That all the people of the earth may 
 know that ^Jehovah is God, and that there 
 is none else. 
 
 61 Let your 'heart therefore be 3! sincere 
 with Jehovah our God, to walk in his 
 32 ordinances, and to keep his command- 
 ments, as at this day. 
 
 62 If And -^the king, and all Israel with 
 him, offered sacrifice before Jehovah. 
 
 63 And Solomon offered a sacrifice of 
 33 thank-offerings, which he offered to Je- 
 hovah, two and twenty thousand oxen, 
 and a hundred and twenty thousand 
 sheep. So the king and all the children 
 of Israel dedicated the house of Jehovah". 
 
 64 s The same day did the king hallow the 
 middle of the court that was before the 
 house of Jehovah : for there he offered 
 burnt-offerings, and ^meal-offerings, and 
 the fat of the S9 thank-offerings : because 
 *the brazen altar that was before the 
 Lord was too little to receive the burnt- 
 offerings, and 36 meal-offerings, and the fat 
 of the 37 thank-offerings. 
 
 65 And at that time Solomon held 'a feast, 
 and all Israel with him, a great congrega- 
 tion, from *the entering in of Hamath to 
 'the 58 torrent of Egypt, before Jehovah 
 our God, "seven days and seven days, 
 even fourteen days. 
 
 66 "On the eighth day he sent the people 
 away: and they || blessed the king, and 
 went to their tents joyful and glad of 
 heart for all the goodness that Jehovah 
 had done for David his servant, and for 
 Israel his people. 
 
 CHAPTER IX. 
 
 1 God's covenant in a vision with Solomon. 10 The 
 mutual presents of Solomon and Hiram. 15 In 
 Solomon's works the Gentiles were his bond-men, 
 the Israelites honourable servants. 24 Pharaoh's 
 daughter removeth to her house. 25 Solomon's 
 yearly solemn sacrifices. 26 His navy fetcheth 
 gold from Ophir. 
 
 AND "it came to pass, when Solomon 
 had finished the building of the house 
 of Jehovah, *and the king's house, and 
 'all Solomon's desire which he was pleased 
 to do, 
 
 2 That Jehovah appeared to Solomon the 
 second time, d as he had appeared to him 
 at Gibeon. 
 
 3 And Jehovah said to him, £ I have heard 
 
 255 
 
Ood's covenant with Solomon. 
 
 thy prayer and thy supplication that thou 
 hast made before me: I have hallowed 
 this house, which thou hast built, 'to put 
 my name there for ever ; f and mine eyes 
 and my heart shall be there perpetually. 
 
 4 And if thou wilt A walk before me, 'as 
 David thy father walked, in 'sincerity of 
 heart, ana in uprightness, to do according 
 to all that I have commanded thee, ana 
 wilt keep 2 mine ordinances and my judg- 
 ments : 
 
 5 Then I will establish the throne of thy 
 kingdom 3 over Israel for ever, *as I pro- 
 mised to David thy father, saying, There 
 shall not fail thee a man upon the throne 
 of Israel. 
 
 o 6 'But if ye shall at all turn from follow- 
 ing me, ye or your children, and will not 
 keep my commandments and Ordinances 
 which I have set before you, but go and 
 serve other gods, and worship them : 
 
 7 "Then will I cut off Israel out of the 
 land which I have given them; and this 
 house which I have hallowed "for my 
 name, will I cast out of my sight ; "and 
 Israel shall be a proverb and a by-word 
 among all people : 
 
 8 And y6 this house exalted as it is, 
 every one that passeth by it shall be 
 astonished, and shall hiss ; and they shall 
 say, 'Why hath Jehovah done thus to this 
 land, and to this house ? 
 
 9 And they shall answer, Because they 
 forsoGk Jehovah their God, who brought 
 forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, 
 and have taken hold on other gods, and 
 have worshipped them, and served them : 
 therefore hath Jehovah brought on them 
 all this evil. 
 
 10 H And r it came to pass at the end of 
 twenty years, when Solomon had built the 
 two houses, the house of Jehovah, and 
 the king's house, 
 
 11 [(Now Hiram the king of Tyre had 
 furnished Solomon with cedar-trees and 
 'cypress-trees, and with gold, according 
 to all his desire,) that then king Solomon 
 gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of 
 Galilee. 
 
 12 And Hiram came 7 from Tyre to see 
 the cities which Solomon had given him ; 
 and they tpleased him not. 
 
 13 And he said, What cities are these 
 which thou hast given me, my brother? 
 'And he called them the land of ||Cabul to 
 this day. 
 
 14 And Hiram sent to the king sixscore 
 talents of gold. 
 
 15 If And this is the reason of "the levy 
 which king Solomon raised ; 8 to build the 
 house of Jehovah, and his own house, and 
 •Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, and 
 *Hazor, and z Megiddo, and "Gezer. 
 
 16 For Pharaoh Icing of Egypt had gone 
 up, and taken Gezer, and burnt it with 
 fire, 'and slain the Canaanites that dwelt 
 in the city, and given it for a ' marriage' 
 present to his daughter, Solomon's wife. 
 
 17 And Solomon built Gezer, and c Befh- 
 horon the nether, 
 
 18 And d Baalath, and Tadmor in the 
 9 desert, in the land, 
 
 19 And all the cities of store that Solo- 
 mon had, and cities for 'his chariots, and 
 cities for his horsemen, and tthat which 
 Solomon 'desired to build in Jerusalem,

 20 e&nd all the people that were left of 
 the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, 
 and Jebusites, who were not of the child- 
 ren of Israel, 
 
 21 Their children ''that were left after 
 them in the land, j whom the children of 
 Israel also were not able utterly to de- 
 stroy, *upon those did Solomon levy a tri- 
 bute of 'bond-service to this day. 
 
 22 But of the children of Israel did So- 
 lomon "'make no bond -men: but they were 
 men of war, and his servants, and his 
 princes, and his '"warriors, and rulers of 
 his chariots, and his horsemen. 
 
 23 These were the "chiefs of the officers 
 that were over Solomon's work, *five hun- 
 dred and fifty, 'Vho ruled over the people 
 that wrought in the work. 
 
 24 If But "Pharaoh's daughter came up 
 13 from the city of David to ? her house 
 which Solomon had built for her: 'then 
 did he build Millo. 
 
 25 If 'And three times in a year did So- 
 lomon offer burnt-offerings and 14 thank- 
 offerings upon the altar which he 'had' 
 built to Jehovah, and he burnt incense 
 ton the altar that was before Jehovah. 
 So he finished the house. 
 
 26 Tf And "king Solomon made a navy 
 of ships in 'Ezion-geber, which is beside 
 Eloth, on the tshore of the Red sea, in the 
 land of Edom. 
 
 27 "And Hiram sent in the navy his ser- 
 vants, shipmen that had knowledge of the 
 sea, with the servants of Solomon. 
 
 28 And they came to ' 5l Ophir, and 
 16 brought from thence gold, four hundred 
 and twenty talents, and brought it to king 
 Solomon. 
 
 CHAPTER X. 
 
 1 Tlie queen of Sheba admireth the wisdom of Solo- 
 mon. 14 Solomon's gold. 16 His l shields. 18 The 
 throne of ivory. 21 His vessels. 24 His presents. 
 26 His chariots and horse. 28 His tribute. 
 
 AND when the "queen of Sheba heard 
 of the fame of Solomon concerning 
 the name of Jehovah, she came J to prove 
 him with hard questions. 
 
 2 And she came to Jerusalem with a very 
 great train, with camels that bore spices, 
 and very much gold, and precious stones : 
 and when she was come to Solomon, she 
 2 talked with him of all that was in her 
 heart. 
 
 3 And Solomon told her all her tques- 
 tions: there was not any thing 3 hidden 
 from the king, which he told her not. 
 
 4 And when the queen of Sheba had seen 
 all Solomon's wisdom, and the house that 
 he had built. 
 
 5 And the "food ofhis table, and thedwell- 
 mg of his servants, and the t 6 station of 
 his attendants, and their apparel, and his 
 llcup-bearers, 'and his ascent by which he 
 went up to the house of Jehovah ; there 
 was no more spirit in her. 
 
 6 And she said to the king, It was a true 
 treport that I heard in mine own land of 
 thine ||acts and of thy wisdom. 
 
 7 'But I believed not the words, until I 
 came, and mine eyes had seen it : and be- 
 hold, the half was not told me : tthy wis- 
 dom and prosperity exceedeth the fame 
 which I heard. 
 
tiolomorfs wealth and wisdom. 
 
 8 d Happy are thy men, happy are these thy 
 servants, who stand continually before 
 thee, and who hear thy wisdom. 
 
 9 'Blessed be Jehovah thy God, who de- 
 lighted in thee, to set thee on the throne 
 of Israel: because Jehovah loved Israel 
 for ever, therefore made he thee king 'to 
 do judgment and justice. 
 
 10 And she «gave the king a hundred and 
 twenty talents of gold, and of spices ' a' 
 very great store, and precious stones : 
 there came no more such abundance of 
 spices as these which the queen of Sheba 
 gave to king Solomon. 
 
 11 A And the navy alse of Hiram, that 
 brought gold from Ophir, brought in from 
 Ophir great plenty of || 9 sandal-trees, and 
 precious stones. 
 
 12 'And the king made of the 9 sandal- 
 trees ||t l0 balustrades for the house of Je- 
 hovah, and for the king's house, harps 
 also and psalteries for singers: there came 
 no such * "sandal-trees, nor were seen to 
 this day. 
 
 13 And king Solomon gave to the queen 
 of Sheba all her desire, whatever she 
 asked, besides that which Solomon gave 
 her tof his royal bounty. So she turned 
 and went to her own country, she and her 
 servants. 
 
 14 If Now the weight of gold that came 
 to Solomon in one year was six hundred 
 threescore and six talents of gold, 
 
 15 Besides that 'which? he had of the 
 12 travelling-merchants, and of the traffick of 
 the ,3 traders, and 'of all the kings of Arabia, 
 and of the Ugovernors of the country. 
 
 16 ^f And king Solomon made two hun- 
 dred "shields of beaten gold ; six hundred 
 shekels of gold went to one 15 shield. 
 
 17 And he made "three hundred ^buck- 
 lers of beaten gold ; three pounds of gold 
 went to one "buckler : and the king put 
 them in the "house-of the forest of Lebanon. 
 
 18 If 0l8 And the king made a great throne 
 of ivory, and overlaid it with the best gold. 
 
 19 The throne had six steps, and the top 
 of the. throne was round fbehind : and 
 there were tstays on I9 each side on the 
 place of the seat, and two lions 20 standing 
 by the stays. 
 
 20 And twelve lions 2I standing there on 
 the one side and on the other on the six 
 steps : there was not tthe like made in any 
 kingdom. 
 
 21 f y And all king Solomon's drinking 
 vessels were of gold, and all the vessels 
 of the house of the forest of Lebanon 
 were of pure gold ; ||none were of silver : 
 it was ^not at all regarded in the days of 
 Solomon. 
 
 22 For the king had at sea a navy of 
 'Tharshish with the navy of Hiram : once 
 in three years came the navy of Tharshish, 
 bringing gold, and silver, ^elephant's

 He is seduced to idolatry. 
 
 26 If 'And Solomon 'gathered together 
 chariots, and horsemen : and he had a 
 thousand and four hundred chariots, and 
 twelve thousand horsemen, whom he be- 
 stowed in the cities for chariots, and with 
 the king at Jerusalem. 
 
 27 "And the king tmade silver 26 in Jeru- 
 salem as stones, and cedars made he to be 
 as the sycamore -trees that are in the Row- 
 lands, for abundance. 
 
 28 ^f *tAnd Solomon had horses brought 
 out of Egypt, 28 even in "droves ; the king's 
 merchants received the 29 droves at a price. 
 
 29 And a chariot came up and went out 
 of Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, 
 and a horse for a hundred and fifty : *and 
 so for all the kings of the Hittites, and for 
 the kings of Syria, did they bring them 
 out tby their means. 
 
 CHAPTER XL 
 
 1 Solomon's wives and concubines. 4 In his old age 
 they draw him to idolatry. 9 God threateneth him. 
 14 Solomon's adversaries were Hadad, who was 
 entertained in Egypt, 23 Rezon, who reigned in 
 Damascus, 26 and Jeroboam, to whom Ahijah 
 prophesied. 41 Solomon's acts, reign, and death : 
 Rehoboam succcedeth him. 
 
 BUT "king Solomon loved hnany "foreign 
 women, ||together with the daughter of 
 Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammon- 
 ites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites ; 
 
 2 Of the nations concerning whom Jeho- 
 vah ' had' said to the children of Israel, 
 c Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall 
 they come in to you : for surely they will 
 turn away your heart after their gods : 
 Solomon clave to these in love. 
 
 3 And he had seven hundred wives, 
 princesses, and three hundred concubines : 
 and his wives turned away his heart. 
 
 4 For it came to pass, when Solomon was 
 old, d that his wives turned away his heart 
 after other gods : and his 'heart was not 
 2 sincere with Jehovah his God, 'as was 
 the heart of David his father. 
 
 5 For Solomon went after fAshtoreth the 
 goddess of the Zidonians, and after ||Mil- 
 com the abomination of the Ammonites. 
 
 6 And Solomon did evil in the sight of 
 Jehovah, and twent not fully after Jeho- 
 vah, as did David his father. 
 
 7 Then did Solomon build a high place 
 for 'Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, 
 in *the 3 mountain that is before Jerusalem, 
 and for Molech, the abomination of the 
 children of Amnion. 
 
 8 And likewise did he for all his "foreign 
 wives, who burnt incense and sacrificed 
 to their gods. 
 
 9 If And Jehovah was angry with Solo- 
 mon, because 'his heart was turned from 
 Jehovah God of Israel, m who had appeared 
 to him twice, 
 
 10 And "had commanded him concerning 
 this thing, that he should not go after other 
 gods : but he kept not that which Jehovah 
 ' had' commanded. 
 
 11 Wherefore Jehovah said to Solomon, 
 'Because that this tis done 6 by thee, and 
 thou hast not kept my covenant and 'mine 
 ordinances which I have commanded thee, 
 °I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, 
 and will give it to thy servant. 
 
 12 8 But in thy days I will not do it for 
 David thy father's sake : but I will rend it 
 out of the hand of thy son. 
 
 257 
 
Solomon's adversaries. 
 
 13 P 9 Yet I will not rend away all the 
 kingdom; but will give s one tribe to thy 
 son, for David my servant's sake, and for 
 Jerusalem's sake r which I have chosen. 
 
 14 1f And Jehovah ""raised up an "ad- 
 versary to Solomon, Hadad the Edomite : 
 he was of the king's seed in Edom. 
 
 15 'For it came to pass, when David was 
 in Edom, and Joab the captain of the host 
 I2 had gone up to bury the slain, "after he 
 had smitten every male in Edom ; 
 
 16 (For six months did Joab remain there 
 with all Israel, until he had cut off every 
 male in Edom :) 
 
 17 That Hadad fled, he and certain Edom- 
 ites of his father's servants with him, to go 
 into Egypt; Hadad being yet a little child. 
 
 18 And they arose out of Midian, and 
 came to Paran: and they took men with 
 them out of Paran, and they came to Egypt, 
 to Pharaoh king of Egypt; who gave him a 
 house, and appointed him victuals, and gave 
 him land. 
 
 19 And Hadad found great favour in the 
 sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him 13 as a 
 wife the sister of his own wife, the sister 
 of Tahpenes the queen. 
 
 20 And the sister of Tahpenes bore him 
 Genubath his son, whom Tahpenes weaned 
 in Pharaoh's house : and Genubath was in 
 Pharaoh's household among the sons of 
 Pharaoh. 
 
 21 *And when Hadad heard in Egypt that 
 David "lay with his fathers, and mat Joab 
 the captain of the host was dead, Hadad 
 said to Pharaoh, tLet me depart, that I 
 may go to mine own country ._ 
 
 22 Then Pharaoh said to him, But what 
 hast thou lacked with me, that, behold, 
 thou seekest to go to thine own country ? 
 And he answered, tNothing: is but at least 
 let me go. 
 
 23 yj And God 16 raised him up another 
 "adversary, Rezon the son of Eliadah, who 
 ' had' fled from his lord "Hadadezer king 
 of Zobah : 
 
 24 And he gathered men to him, and be- 
 came captain over a 18 troop, 'when David 
 slew those of Zobah: and they went to 
 Damascus, and dwelt therein, and reigned 
 in Damascus. 
 
 25 And he was an adversary to Israel all 
 the days of Solomon, besides the mischief 
 which Hadad did: and he abhorred Israel, 
 and reigned over Syria. 
 
 26 y And "Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an 
 Ephrathite of Zereda, Solomon's servant, 
 whose mother's name was Zeruah, a widow 
 woman, even he *lifted up his hand against 
 the king. 
 
 27 And this was the cause l9 why he lifted 
 up his hand against the king : c Solomon 
 built Millo, and trepaired the breaches of 
 the city of David his father. 
 
 28 And the man Jeroboam was a mighty 
 man of valour: and Solomon seeing the 
 young man that he twas industrious, he 
 made him ruler over all the tcharge of the 
 house of Joseph. 
 
 29 And it came to pass at that time when 
 Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, that the 
 prophet i Ahijah the Shilonite found him in 
 the way ; and he had clad himself with a 
 new garment ; and they two were alone in 
 the field : 
 
 30 And Ahijah caught the new garment

 that was on him, and "rent it in twelve 
 pieces : 
 
 31 And he said to Jeroboam, Take "'"to 
 thyself ten pieces : for -thus saith Jehovah, 
 the God of Israel, Behold, I will rend the 
 kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and 
 will give ten tribes to thee : ' 
 
 32 (But he shall have one tribe for my 
 servant David's sake, and for Jerusalem's 
 sake, the city which I have chosen out of 
 all the tribes of Israel :) 
 
 33 ^Because that they have forsaken me, 
 and have worshipped Ashtoreth the god- 
 dess of the Zidonians, Chemosh, the god 
 of the Moabites, and Milcom the godof 
 the children of Ammon, and have not 
 walked in my ways, to do that which is 
 right in 21 my sight, and to keep ^mine or- 
 dinances ana my judgments, as did David 
 his father. 
 
 34 23 But I will not take the whole king- 
 dom out of his hand : but I will make him 
 prince all the days of his life for David my 
 servant's sake, whom I chose, because he 
 kept my commandments and 24 mine ordi- 
 nances : 
 
 35 But *I will take the kingdom out of 
 his son's hand, and will give it to thee, 
 even ten tribes. 
 
 36 And to his son will I give one tribe, 
 that 'David my servant may have a ^lamp 
 always before me in Jerusalem,, the city 
 which I have chosen 26 for myself to put my 
 name there. 
 
 37 And I will take thee, and thou shalt 
 reign according to all that thy soul de- 
 sireth, and shalt be king over Israel. 
 
 38 And it shall 27 come to pass, if thou 
 wilt hearken to all that I command thee, 
 and wilt walk in my ways, and do that 
 ' which'' is right in my sight, to keep ^mine 
 ordinances and my commandments, as Da- 
 vid my servant did ; that A I will be with 
 thee, and 'build thee a sure house, as I 
 built for David, and will give Israel to 
 thee. 
 
 39 And I will for this afflict the seed of 
 David, but not for ever. 
 
 40 Solomon sought therefore to kill Jero- 
 boam. And Jeroboam arose, and fled into 
 Egypt, to Shishak king of Egypt, and was 
 in Egypt until the death of Solomon. 
 
 41 y And m the rest of the llacts of Solo- 
 mon, and all that he did, and his wisdom, 
 are they not written in the book of the acts 
 of Solomon ? 
 
 42 "And the ttime that Solomon reigned 
 in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty 
 years. 
 
 43 "And Solomon 29 lay with his fathers, 
 and was buried in the city of David his 
 father : and ^Rehoboam his son reigned in 
 his stead. 
 
 CHAPTER XII. 
 
 1 The Israelites, assembled at Shechem to crown Re- 
 hoboam, by Jeroboam make a suit of relaxation to 
 him. 6 Rehoboam, refusing the old men's counsel, 
 by the advice of young men, answereth them rough- 
 ly. 16 Ten tribes revolting, kill Adoram, and make 
 Rehoboam to flee. 21 Rehoboam, raising an army, 
 is forbidden by Shemaiah. 25 Jeroboam strength- 
 ened himself by cities, 26 and by the idolatry of 
 the two calves. 
 
 AND "Rehoboam went to Shechem : for 
 all Israel 'had come to Shechem to 
 make him king. 
 2 And it came to pass, when 'Jeroboam 
 
JRehoboam succeedeth Solomon. 
 
 the son of Nebat, who was yet in 'Egypt, 
 heard of it, (for he 2 had fled from the pre- 
 sence of king Solomon, and Jeroboam 
 dwelt in Egypt ;) 
 
 3 That they sent and called him. And 
 Jeroboam and all the congregation of Is- 
 rael came, and spoke to Rehoboam, saying, 
 
 4 Thy father made our ''yoke grievous: 
 now therefore make thou the grievous 
 service of thy father, and his heavy yoke 
 which he put upon us, lighter, and we will 
 serve thee. 
 
 5 And he said to them, Depart yet for 
 three days, then come again to me. And 
 the people departed. 
 
 6 If And king Rehoboam consulted with 
 the old men s who had stood before Solo- 
 mon his father while he yet lived, and said, 
 How do ye advise that 1 4 shall answer this 
 people ? 
 
 7 And they spoke to him, saying, *If thou 
 wilt be a servant to this people this day, 
 and wilt serve them, and answer them, 
 and speak good words to them, then they 
 will be thy servants for ever. 
 
 8 But he forsook the counsel of the old 
 men, which they had given him, and con- 
 sulted with the young men 5 who had grown 
 up with him, and who stood before him. 
 
 9 And he said to them, What counsel 
 give ye that we may answer this people, 
 who have spoken to me, saying, Make the 
 yoke which thy father did put upon us 
 lighter ? 
 
 10 And the young men 6 who had grown 
 up with him spoke to him, saying, Thus 
 shalt thou speak to this people that spoke 
 to thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke 
 heavy, but make thou it lighter 7 for us; 
 thus shalt thou say to them, My little fin- 
 ger shall be thicker than my father's loins. 
 
 11 And now 8 my father did 9 load you 
 with a heavy yoke, I will add to your 
 yoke : my father hath chastised you with 
 whips, but I will chastise you with scor- 
 pions. 
 
 12 If 10 And Jeroboam and_ all the people 
 came to Rehoboam the third day, as the 
 king had appointed, saying, Come to me 
 again the third day. 
 
 13 And the king answered the people 
 troughly, and forsook the old men's coun- 
 sel which they "had given him ; 
 
 14 And spoke to them "'according to the 
 counsel of the young men, saying, My fa- 
 ther made your yoke heavy, and I will add 
 to your yoke : my father 1S chastised you 
 with whips, but I will chastise you with 
 scorpions. 
 
 15 "So the king hearkened not to the 
 people : for 'the cause was from Jehovah, 
 that he might perform his 15 word which Je- 
 hovah ^spoke by Ahijah the Shilonite to 
 Jeroboam the son of Nebat. 
 
 16 If So when all Israel saw that the king 
 hearkened not to them, the people answer- 
 ed the king, saying, "What portion have 
 we in David? neither have we inheritance 
 in the son of Jesse : to your tents, Is- 
 rael : now see to thine own house, David. 
 So Israel departed to their tents. 
 
 17 But 'as for the children of Israel who 
 dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam 
 reigned over them. 
 
 18 Then king Rehoboam *sent Adoram, 
 who was over the tribute ; and all Israel

 Ten tribes revolt from him. 
 
 stoned him with stones, ' so' that he died. 
 Therefore king Rehoboam t lli hastened to 
 mount his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem. 
 
 19 So 'Israel j|rebelled against the house 
 of David to this day. 
 
 20 And it came to pass when all Israel 
 he*ard that Jeroboam 17 had come again, that 
 they sent and called him to the congrega- 
 tion, and made him king over all Israel : 
 there was 18 no one that followed the house 
 of David, but the tribe of Judah "only. 
 
 21 If And when "Rehoboam I9 had come 
 to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house 
 of Judah, with the tribe of Benjamin, a 
 hundred and fourscore thousand chosen 
 men, who were warriors, to fight against 
 the house of Israel, to bring the kingdom 
 again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon. 
 
 22 But "the word of God came to She- 
 maiah the man of God, saying, 
 
 23 Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solo- 
 mon, king of Judah, and to all the house 
 of Judah and Benjamin, and to the rem- 
 nant of the people, saying, 
 
 24 Thus saith Jehovah, Ye shall not go 
 up, nor fight against your brethren the 
 children of Israel : return 20 each man to 
 his house; p for this thing is from me. 
 They hearkened therefore to the word of 
 Jehovah, and 21 turned to depart, accord- 
 ing to the word of Jehovah. 
 
 25 If Then Jeroboam 'built Shechem in 
 mount Ephraim, and dwelt therein; and 
 went out from thence, and built "Penuel. 
 
 26 And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now 
 ^will the kingdom return to the house of 
 David. 
 
 87 If this people f go up to a sacrifice in 
 the house of Jehovah at Jerusalem, then 
 24 will the heart of this people turn again 
 to their lord, even to Rehoboam king of 
 Judah, and they ^will kill me, and go 
 again to Rehoboam king of Judah. 
 
 28 Whereupon the king took counsel, 
 and 'made two calves of gold, and said to 
 them, It is too much for you to go up to 
 Jerusalem: "behold thy gods, O Israel, 
 who brought thee up out of the land of 
 Egypt. 
 
 29 And he set the one in x Beth-el, and 
 the other put he in y Dan. 
 
 30 And this thing became *a sin : for the 
 people went to worship before the one, 
 even 26 at Dan. 
 
 31 And he made a "house of high places, 
 'and made priests of the lowest of the 
 people, who were not of the sons of Levi. 
 
 32 And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the 
 eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the 
 month, like to the feast that is in Judah, 
 and he ||off'ered ^ on the altar. So did he 
 in Beth-el, Usacrificing to the calves that 
 he had made : ''and he placed in Beth-el 
 the priests of the high places which he had 
 made. 
 
 33 So he Hoffered on the altar which he. 
 had made in Beth-el the fifteenth day of 
 the eighth month, even in the month which 
 he had 'devised 28 in his own heart; and 
 ordained a feast 29 for the children of Is- 
 rael: and he offered on the altar, tand 
 'burnt incense. 
 
 CHAPTER XIII. 
 
 1 Jeroboam's hand, that offered violence to him thai 
 prophesied against his altar at Beth-el, withereth, 
 6 and at the prayer of the prophet is restored. 
 
 259 
 

 Jeroboam's hand withereth, 
 
 7 The prophet, refusing the king's entertainment, 
 departeth from Beth-el. 11 An old prophet, se- 
 ducing him, bringeth him back. 20 He is re- 
 proved by God, 23 slain by a lion, 26 buried by 
 the old prophet, 31 who confirmeth his prophecy. 
 33 Jeroboam's obstinacy. 
 
 AND behold, there "came a man of God 
 out of Judah by the word of Jehovah 
 to Beth-el : *and Jeroboam stood by the 
 altar ||to burn incense. 
 
 2 And he cried against the altar 'by the 
 word of Jehovah, and said, O altar, altar ! 
 thus saith Jehovah ; Behold, a child shall 
 be born to the house of David, c Josiah by 
 name; and on thee shall he offer the priests 
 of the high places that burn incense upon 
 thee, ana men's bones shall be burnt upon 
 thee. 
 
 3 And he gave d a sign the same day, say- 
 ing, This is the 2 sign which Jehovah hath 
 spoken; Behold, the altar shall be rent, 
 and the ashes that are upon it shall be 
 poured out. 
 
 4 And it came to pass when king Jero- 
 boam heard the saying of the man of God, 
 who had cried against the altar in Beth-el, 
 that he put forth his hand from the altar, 
 saying, Lay hold on him. And his hand, 
 which he put forth against him, dried up, 
 so that he could not 3 draw it back to him. 
 
 5 The altar also was rent, and the ashes 
 poured out from the altar, according to the 
 sign which the man of God had given by 
 the word of Jehovah. 
 
 6 And the king answered and said to the 
 man of God, "Entreat now 4 Jehovah thy 
 God, and pray for me, that my hand may 
 be restored me again. And the man of 
 God besought Uehovah, and the king's 
 hand was restored ' to' him again, and be- 
 came as it was before. 
 
 7 And the king said to the man of God, 
 Come home with me, and refresh thyself, 
 and f l will give thee a 6 present. 
 
 8 And the man of God said to the king, 
 *If thou wilt give me half thy house, I 
 will not go in with thee, neither will I eat 
 bread nor drink water in this place: 
 
 9 For so was it Commanded me by the 
 word of Jehovah, saying, ft Eat no bread, 
 nor drink water, nor turn again by the 
 same way that thou earnest. 
 
 10 So he went another way, and returned 
 not by the way that he came to Beth-el. 
 
 11 If Now there dwelt an old prophet in 
 Beth-el ; and his tsons came and told him 
 all the works that the man of God had 
 done that day in Beth-el : the words which 
 he had spoken to the king, them they told 
 also to their father. 
 
 12 And their father said to them, What 
 way went he ? for his sons had seen what 
 way the man of God went who came from 
 Judah. 
 
 13 And he said to his sons, Saddle the 
 ass 'for me.' So they saddled the ass 
 ' for him :' and he rode thereon, 
 
 14 And went after the man of God, and 
 found him sitting under 7 the oak : and he 
 said to him, Art thou the man of God that 
 came from Judah ? And he said, I am. 
 
 15 Then he said to him, Come home with 
 me, and eat bread. 
 
 16 And he said, 'I 8 can not return with 
 thee, nor go in with thee : neither will I 
 eat bread nor drink water with thee in 
 fhis place :

 17 For tit was said to me *by the word 
 of Jehovah, Thou shalt eat no bread nor 
 drink water there, nor turn again to go by 
 the way that thou "wentest. 
 
 18 He said to him, I am a prophet also as 
 thou art ; and an angel spoke to me by the 
 word of Jehovah, saying, Bring him back 
 with thee into thy house, that he may eat 
 bread and drink water. But he lied to 
 him. 
 
 19 So he went back with him, and did 
 eat bread in his house and drank water. 
 
 20 If And it came to pass, as they sat at 
 the table, that the word of Jehovah came 
 to the prophet who brought him back : 
 
 21 And he cried to the man of God who 
 came from Judah, saying, Thus saith Je- 
 hovah, '"Because thou hast disobeyed the 
 mouth of Jehovah, and hast not kept the 
 commandment which Jehovah thy God 
 commanded thee, 
 
 22 But earnest back, and hast eaten bread 
 and drunk water in the 'place, of the which 
 JEHOVAH oio. say to thee, Eat no bread, 
 and drink no water ; thy carcass shall not 
 come "into the sepulchre of thy fathers. 
 
 23 If And it came to pass, after he had 
 eaten bread, and after he had drank, that 
 he saddled for him the ass, n even for the 
 prophet whom he had brought back. 
 
 24 And when he was gone, "a lion met 
 him by the way, and slew him : and his 
 carcass was cast in the way, and the ass 
 stood by it, the lion also stood by the car- 
 cass. 
 
 25 And behold, men passed by, and saw 
 the carcass cast in the way, and the lion 
 standing by the carcass: and they came 
 and told it in the city where the old 
 prophet dwelt. 
 
 26 And when the prophet ,3 who had 
 brought him back from the way heard 
 thereof, he said, It is the man of God, who 
 was disobedient to the word of Jehovah : 
 therefore Jehovah hath delivered him to 
 the lion, which hath ttorn him, and slain 
 him, according to the word of Jehovah, 
 which he spoke to him. 
 
 27 And he spoke to his sons, saying, 
 Saddle the ass * for me.' And they sad- 
 dled him. 
 
 28 And he went and found his carcass 
 cast in the way, and the ass and the lion 
 standing by the carcass : the lion had not 
 eaten the carcass, nor ttorn the ass. 
 
 29 And the prophet took up the carcass 
 of the man of God, and laid it upon the 
 ass, and brought it back : and the old 
 prophet came to the city, to mourn and to 
 bury him. 
 
 30 And he laid his carcass in his own 
 grave ; and they mourned over him, say- 
 ing, "Alas, my brother ! 
 
 31 And it came to pass, after he had 
 buried him, that he spolce to his sons, say- 
 ing, When I am dead, then bury me in 
 the sepulchre wherein the man or God is 
 buried ; "lay my bones beside his bones : 
 
 32 p For the saying which he cried by 
 the word of Jehovah against the altar in 
 Beth-el, and against all the houses of the 
 high places which are in the cities of 'Sa- 
 maria, shall surely come to pass.

 of the high places : whoever would, he 
 Consecrated him, and he became one of 
 the priests of the high places. 
 34 'And this tiling became sin to the house 
 of Jeroboam, even 'to cut it off* and to 
 destroy it from I4 the face of the earth. 
 CHAPTER XIV. 
 
 1 Abijah being sick, Jeroboam sendeth his wife dis- 
 guised with presents to the prophet Ahijah at Shiloh. 
 5 Ahijah, forewarned by God, denounceth God's 
 judgment. 17 Abijah dieth,and is buried. 19 Nadab 
 succeedeth Jeroboam. 21 Rehoboam' s vncked reign. 
 25 Shishak spoileth Jerusalem. 29 Abijam suc- 
 ceedeth Rehoboam. 
 
 AT that time Abijah the son of Jero- 
 boam fell sick. 
 
 2 And Jeroboam said to his wife, Arise, 
 I pray thee, and disguise thyself, ' so' that 
 thou 'canst not be known to be the wife 
 of Jeroboam ; and z go to Shiloh : behold, 
 there is Ahijah the prophet, who told me 
 that "/ should be king over this people. 
 
 3 'And take twith thee ten loaves, and 
 llcracknels, and a 3 bottle of honey, and go 
 to him : he "will tell thee what 5 will be- 
 come of the child. 
 
 4 And Jeroboam's wife did so, and arose, 
 'and went to Shiloh, and came to the house 
 of Ahijah. But Ahijah could not see ; for 
 his eyes twere set by reason of his age. 
 
 5 % And Jehovah ' had' said to Ahijah, 
 Behold, the wife of Jeroboam cometh to 
 ask a thing of thee for her son ; for he is 
 sick : thus and thus shalt thou say to her : for 
 it 'will be, when she cometh in, that she 
 7 will feign herself to be another woman. 
 
 6 And it 8 came to pass, when Ahijah 
 heard the sound of her feet, as she came 
 in at the door, that he said, Come in, thou 
 wife of Jeroboam ; why feignest thou thy- 
 self to be another ? for I am sent to thee 
 with theavy tidings. 
 
 7 Go, tell Jeroboam, Thus saith Jehovah 
 God of Israel, d9 Because I exalted thee 
 from among the people, and made thee 
 prince over my people Israel, 
 
 8 And 'rent the kingdom away from the 
 house of David, and gave it thee : and yet 
 thou hast not been as my servant David, 
 Avh.0 kept my commandments, and who 
 followed me with all his heart, to do that 
 only which was right in ,0 my sight ; 
 
 9 But hast done evil above all that were 
 before thee : «for thou hast gone and made 
 thee other gods, and molten images, to 
 provoke me, " and 'hast cast me behind 
 thy back : 
 
 10 Therefore behold, *I will bring evil 
 upon the house of Jeroboam, and 'will cut 
 off from Jeroboam 12 every male, n3 the bond 
 and the free in Israel, and will take away 
 the remnant of the house of Jeroboam, as 
 a man taketh away "ordure, till it ,5 is all 
 gone. 
 
 11 "Him that dieth of Jeroboam in the 
 city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth 
 in the field shall the fowls of the air eat : 
 for Jehovah hath spoken it. 
 
 12 Arise thou therefore, 16 go to thine own 
 house : and "when thy feet enter into the 
 city, the child shall die. 
 
 13 And all Israel shall mourn for him, 
 and bury him : for he only of Jeroboam 
 shall come to the grave, because in him 
 "there is found l7 a good thing towards Je- 
 hovah God of Israel in the house of Je- 
 roboam.

 14 'Moreover, Jehovah shall raise I8 up

 but what ? even now. 
 
 15 For Jehovah shall smite Israel, as a 
 reed is shaken in the water, and he shall 
 'root up Israel out of this r good land,

 scatter them 'beyond the river, 'because 
 they have made their groves, provoking

 16 And he shall give Israel up because 
 of the sins of Jeroboam, "who did sin, and 
 who made Israel to sin.

 departed, and came to x Tirzah: and y when 
 she came to the threshold of the door, the 
 child died : 
 
 18 And they buried him ; and all Israel 
 mourned for him, According to the word 
 of Jehovah, which he spoke by the hand 
 of his servant Ahijah the prophet. 
 
 19 And the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, 
 how he "warred, and how he reigned, be- 
 hold, they are written in the book of the 
 Chronicles of the kings of Israel. 
 
 20 And the zo time which Jeroboam reigned 
 2l was two and twenty years : and he^lay 
 with his fathers ; and Nadab his son reigned 
 in his stead. 
 
 21 ^f And Rehoboam the son of Solomon 
 reigned in Judah. 'Rehoboam was forty 
 and one years old when he began to reign ; 
 and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusa- 
 lem, the city "which Jehovah did choose 
 out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his 
 name there : d and his mother's name was 
 Naamah an Ammonitess. 
 
 22 'And Judah did evil in the sight of Je- 
 hovah, and they ■'provoked him to jealousy 
 with their sins which they had committed, 
 above all that their fathers had done. 
 
 23 For they also built them f high places, 
 and ||images *and groves, on every high 
 hill, and 'under every green tree. 
 
 24 'And there were also sodomites in the 
 land: and they did according to all the 
 abominations of the nations whom Jeho- 
 vah ' had' cast out before the children of 
 Israel. 
 
 25 ^ff'And it came to pass in the fifth-year 
 of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of 
 Egypt came up against Jerusalem : 
 
 26 m And he took away the treasures of 
 the house of Jehovah, and the treasures 
 of the king's house ; he even took away 
 all : and he took away all the ^bucklers 
 of gold "which Solomon had made. 
 
 27 And king Rehoboam made in their 
 stead brazen '"bucklers, and committed 
 them to the hands of the ^chiefs of the 
 tguard, who kept the door of the king's 
 house. 
 
 28 And it was so, when the king went 
 into the house of Jehovah, that the guard 
 bore them, and brought them back into the 
 guard-chamber. 
 
 29 If "Now the rest of the acts of Reho- 
 boam, and all that he did, are they not 
 written in the book of the Chronicles of 
 the kings of Judah ? 
 
 30 And there was p war between Reho-

 Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom. 
 
 11 "And Asa did that which was right in 
 the 5 sight of Jehovah, as did David his 
 father. 
 
 12 "And he took away the sodomites out 
 of the land, and removed all the idols that 
 his fathers had made. 
 
 13 And also "Maachah his mother, even 
 her he removed from being queen, because 
 she had made an idol in a grove ; and Asa 
 tdestroyed her idol, and p burnt it by the 
 brook Kidron. 
 
 14 'But the high places were not re- 
 moved : nevertheless Asa's 'heart was 
 *sincere with Jehovah all his days. 
 
 15 And he brought in the tthings which 
 his father had dedicated, and the things 
 which ' he' himself had dedicated, into the 
 house of Jehovah, silver, and gold, and 
 vessels. 
 
 16 If And there was war between Asa and 
 Baasha king of Israel all their days. 
 
 17 And 'Baasha king of Israel went up 
 against Judah, and built 'Ramah, "that he 
 might not suffer any to go out or come in 
 to Asa king of Judah. 
 
 18 Then Asa took all the silver and the 
 gold that were left in the treasures of the 
 house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the 
 king's house, and delivered them into the 
 hand of his servants : and kingAsa sent 
 them to *Ben-hadad, the son of Tabrimon,

 Nadab and Baasha's wicked reigns. 
 
 the son of Hezion, king of Syria, who 
 dwelt at "Damascus, saying, 
 
 19 There is a league between me and 
 thee, and between my father and thy 
 father : behold, I have sent to thee a pre- 
 sent of silver and gold ; come and break 
 thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that 
 lie may tdepart from me. 
 
 20 So Ben-hadad hearkened to king Asa, 
 and sent the captains of the hosts which 
 he had against the cities of Israel, and 
 smote *Ijon, and "Dan, and 'Abel-beth- 
 maachah, and all Kinneroth, with all the 
 land of Naphtali. 
 
 21 And it came to pass, when Baasha 
 heard thereof, that he left off building 
 Ramah, and dwelt in Tirzah. 
 
 22 "Then king Asa made a proclamation 
 throughout all Judah ; none ''were tex- 
 empted: and they took away the stones 
 of Ramah, and the timber thereof, where- 
 with Baasha had builded ; and king Asa 
 built with them d Geba of Benjamin, and 
 "Mizpah. 
 
 23 The rest of all the acts of Asa, and 
 all his might, and all that he did, and the 
 cities which he built, are_ they not written 
 in the book of the Chronicles of the kings 
 of Judah ? Nevertheless ^in the time of 
 his old age he was diseased in his feet. 
 
 24 And Asa 8 lay with his fathers, and was 
 buried with his lathers in the city of David 
 his father : e and ''Jehoshaphat his son 
 reigned in his stead. 
 
 25 If And Nadab the son of Jeroboam 
 tbegan to reign over Israel in the second 
 year of Asa icing of Judah, and reigned 
 over Israel two years. 
 
 26 And he did evil in the sight of Jeho- 
 vah, and walked in the way of his father, 
 and in 'his sin wherewith he made Israel 
 to sin. 
 
 27 t A And Baasha the son of Ahijah, of 
 the house of Issachar, conspired against 
 him ; and Baasha smote him at 'Gibbethon, 
 which belonged to the . Philistines ; for 
 Nadab and all Israel laid siege to Gib- 
 bethon. 
 
 28 Even in the third year of Asa king of 
 Judah did Baasha slay him, and reigned 
 in his stead. 
 
 29 And it came to pass, when he reigned, 
 that he smote all the house of Jeroboam ; 
 he left not to Jeroboam any that breathed, 
 until he had destroyed him, according to 
 "the saying of Jehovah, which he spoke 
 by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite : 
 
 30 "Because of the sins of Jeroboam 
 which he sinned, and ' by' which he made 
 Israel sin, by his provocation where- 
 with he provoked Jehovah God of Is- 
 rael. 9 
 
 31 If Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, 
 and all that he did, are they not written 
 in the book of the Chronicles of the kings 
 of Israel ? 
 
 32 "And there was war between Asa and 
 Baasha king of Israel all their days. 
 
 33 In the third year of Asa king of Judah 
 began Baasha the son of Ahijah to reign 
 over all Israel in Tirzah, twenty and four 
 years. 
 
 34 And he did evil in the sight of Jeho- 
 vah, and walked in p the way of Jeroboam, 
 and in his sin wherewith he made Israel 
 to sin. 
 
Zimri conspireth against Elah. 
 CHAPTER XVI. 
 
 1 Jehu's prophecy against Baasha. 5 Elah sue- 
 ceedeth him. 8 Zimri conspiring against Elah 
 succeedeth him. 11 Zimri execuleth Jehu's pro- 
 phecy. 15 Omri, made king by the soldiers, 
 forceth Zimri desperately to burn himself. 21 
 The 4tingdom being divided, Omri prevaileth 
 against Tibni. 23 Omri buildeth Samaria. 25 
 His wicked reign. 27 Ahab succeedeth him. 29 
 Ahab's most wicked reign. 34 Joshua's curse 
 upon Kiel the builder of Jericho. 
 
 THEN the word of Jehovah came to 
 "Jehu the son of Hanani against Baa- 
 sha, saying, 
 
 2 * 'Because I exalted thee out of the 
 dust, and made thee prince over my peo- 
 ple Israel, and "thou hast walked in the 
 way of Jeroboam, and hast made my peo- 
 ple Israel to sin, to provoke me * with 
 their sins ; 
 
 3 Behold, I will d take away the posterity 
 of Baasha, and the posterity of his house ; 
 and will make thy house like 'the house 
 of Jeroboam the son of Nebat. 
 
 4 'Him that dieth of Baasha in the city 
 shall the dogs eat ; and him that dieth of 
 his in the fields shall the fowls of the air 
 eat. 
 
 5 Now the rest of the acts of Baasha, and 
 what he did, and his might, e are they not 
 written in the book of the Chronicles of 
 the kings of Israel ? 
 
 6 So TJaasha 8 lay with his fathers, and 
 was buried in Tirzah : and Elah his son 
 reigned in his stead. 
 
 7 And also by the hand of the prophet 
 'Jehu the son of Hanani came the word of 
 Jehovah against Baasha, and against his 
 house, even for all the evil that lie did in 
 the sight of Jehovah, in provoking him 4 
 with the work of his hands, in being like 
 the house of Jeroboam ; and because *he 
 killed him. 
 
 8 1f In the twenty and sixth year of Asa 
 king of Judah began Elah the son of Baa- 
 sha to reign over Israel in Tirzah, two 
 years. 
 
 9 'And his servant Zimri, captain of half 
 his chariots, conspired against him, as he 
 was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in 
 the house of Arza, 5 who was over his house 
 in Tirzah. 
 
 10 And Zimri went in and smote him, 
 and killed him, in the twenty and seventh 
 year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in 
 his stead. 
 
 Ill And it came to pass, when he began 
 to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, 
 that he slew all the house of Baasha : he 
 left him m not one 6 male, ||neither of his 
 kinsfolks, nor of his friends. 
 
 12 Thus did Zimri destroy all the house 
 of Baasha, "according to tho»word of Je- 
 hovah, which he spoke against Baasha 
 t°by Jehu the prophet, 
 
 13 For all the sins of Baasha, and the sins 
 of Elah Ms son, by which they sinned, and 
 by which they made Israel to sin, in pro- 
 voking Jehovah God of Israel 7 p with their 
 Vanities. 
 
 14 Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and 
 all that he did, are they not written in the 
 book of the Chronicles of the kings of 
 Israel ? 
 
 15 1 In the twenty and seventh year of 
 Asa king of Judah did Zimri reign seven 
 days in Tirzah. And the people were en- 
 
 CHAPTER XVI. Omri made king. Mab succeedeth him. 
 
 camped 'against Gibbethon, which belong- 
 ed to the Philistines. 
 
 16 And the people that were encamped 
 heard 9 it said, Zimri hath conspired, and 
 hath also slain the king : wherefore all Is- 
 rael made Omri, the captain of the host, 
 king over Israel that day in the camp. 
 
 17 And Omri went up from Gibbethon, 
 and all Israel with him, and they besieged 
 Tirzah. 
 
 18 And it came to pass, when Zimri saw 
 that the city was taken, that he went into 
 the '"castle of the king's house.and burnt the 
 king's house over him with fire, and died, 
 
 19 For his sins which he sinned in doing 
 evil in the sight of Jehovah, r in walking 
 in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin 
 which he did, to make Israel to sin. 
 
 20 Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and 
 his "conspiracy that he ,2 made, are they not 
 written in the book of the Chronicles of 
 the kings of Israel ? 
 
 21 1 Then were the people of Israel 
 divided into two parts : half of the people 
 followed Tibni the son of Ginath, to make 
 him king ; and half followed Omri. 
 
 22 But the people that followed Omri 
 prevailed against the people that followed 
 Tibni the son of Ginath: so Tibni died, 
 and Omri reigned. 
 
 23 1 In the thirty and first year of Asa 
 king of Judah began Omri to reign over 
 Israel, twelve years : six years reigned he 
 in Tirzah. 
 
 24 And he bought the "mountain Samaria 
 of Shemer for two talents of silver, and 
 built on the "mountain, and called the 
 name of the city which he built, after the 
 name of Shemer, owner of the I5 mountain, 
 t 'Samaria. 
 
 25 «[f But 'Omri wrought evil in the 16 sight 
 of Jehovah, and did worse than all that 
 were before him. 
 
 26 For he "walked in all the way of Je- 
 roboam the son of Nebat, and in his sin 
 wherewith he made Israel to sin, to pro- 
 voke Jehovah God of Israel " with their 
 Canities. 
 
 27 Now the rest of the acts of Omri 
 which he did, and his might that he shew- 
 ed, are they not written in the book of the 
 Chronicles of the kings of Israel ? 
 
 28 So Omri 18 lay with his fathers, and 
 was buried in Samaria : aiid Ahab his son 
 reigned in his stead. 
 
 29 If And in the thirty and eighth year 
 of Asa king of Judah began Ahab the son 
 of Omri to reign over Israel : and Ahab 
 the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Sa- 
 maria twenty and two years. 
 
 30 And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in 
 the sight of Jehovah above all that were 
 before him. 
 
 31 And it came to pass, tas if it had been 
 a light thing for him to walk in the sins of 
 Jeroboam the son of Nebat, "that he took 
 to wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal 
 king of the *Zidonians, "and went and 
 served Baal, and worshipped him. 
 
 32 And he reared up an altar for Baal in 
 'the house of Baal, which he had built in 
 Samaria. 
 
 33 'And Ahab made a grove ; and Ahab 
 d did more to provoke Jehovah God of Is- 
 rael ,9 than all the kings of Israel that 
 were before him.

Elijah fed by the ravens. 
 
 34 f In his days did Hiel the Bethelite 
 build Jericho : he laid the foundation 
 thereof M by Abiram his first-born, and set 
 up the gates thereof 21 by his youngest son 
 Segub, 'according to the word of Jeho- 
 vah, which he spoke by Joshua the son of 
 Nun. 
 
 CHAPTER XVII. 
 
 1 Elijah having prophesied against Ahab, is sent to 
 Chereth, where the ravens feed him. 8 He is sent 
 to the widow of Zarephath. 17 He raiseth the 
 widow's son, 24 The woman believeth him. 
 
 AND tElijah the Tishbite, who was of 
 the inhabitants of Gilead, said to 
 Ahab, "As Jehovah God of Israel liveth, 
 'before whom I stand, 'there shall not be 
 dew nor rain d these years, but according 
 to my word. 
 
 2 And the word of Jehovah came to him, 
 saying, 
 
 3 'Go hence, and turn 2 eastward, and 
 hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is 
 before Jordan. 
 
 4 And it shall be, that thou shalt drink 
 of the brook ; and I have commanded the 
 ravens to feed thee there. 
 
 5 So he went and did according to the 
 word of Jehovah : for he went and dwelt 
 by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan. 
 
 6 And the ravens brought him bread and 
 flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh 
 in the evening; and he drank of the brook. 
 
 7 And it came to pass tafter a while, that 
 the brook dried up, because there had been 
 no s showers in the land. 
 
 8 % And the word of Jehovah came to 
 him, saying, 
 
 9 Arise, 4 go to 'Zarephath, which be- 
 longeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, 
 I have commanded a widow woman there 
 to sustain thee. 
 
 10 So he arose and went to Zarephath. 
 And when he came to the gate of the city, 
 behold, the widow woman ivas there 
 gathering 6 sticks : and he called to her, 
 and said, 'Bring me, I pray thee, a little 
 water in a vessel, that I may drink. 
 
 11 And as she was going to 8 bring it, he 
 called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray 
 thee, a morsel of bread in thy hand. 
 
 12 And she said, Ms Jehovah thy God 
 liveth, I have not a cake, but a handful of 
 meal in a 9 pail, and a little oil in a 10 bottle: 
 and behold, I am gathering two sticks, 
 that I may go in and dress it for "myself 
 and my son, that we may eat it, and die. 
 
 13 And Elijah said to her, Fear not ; go 
 and do as thou hast said : but make me 
 thereof a little cake first, and bring it to 
 me, and I2 afterwards make for "thyself 
 and for thy son. 
 
 14 For thus saith Jehovah God of Israel, 
 The "pail of meal shall not waste, neither 
 shall the ,5 bottle of oil fail, until the day 
 K when Jehovah tsendeth "showers on the 
 earth. 
 
 15 And she went and did according to 
 the saying of Elijah : and she, and he, and 
 her house, did eat \\many days. 
 
 16 And the is pail of meal wasted not, 
 neither did the 19 bottle of oil fail, accord- 
 ing to the word of Jehovah, which he 
 spoke tby Elijah.

 things, that the son of the woman, the

 He raiseth the widow's son. 
 
 sickness was so ^violent, that there was no

 18 And she said to Elijah, 'What have I 
 to do with thee, O thou man of God ? art 
 thou come to me to call my sin to remem- 
 brance, and to slay my son ? 
 
 19 And he said to her, Give me tH£ son . 
 And he took him out of her bosom, and 
 carried him up into 2l an upper-room, where 
 he abode, and laid him upon his own bed . 
 
 20 And he cried to Jehovah, and said, O 
 Jehovah my God, hast thou also brought 
 evil upon the widow with whom I sojourn, 
 by slaying her son ? 
 
 21 fAnd he tstretched himself upon the 
 child three times, and cried to Jehovah, 
 and said, O Jehovah my God, I pray thee, 
 let this child's 22 soul come tinto him again. 
 
 22 And Jehovah heard the voice of 
 Elijah; and the soul of the child came 
 into him again, and he ^revived. 
 
 23 And Elijah took the child, and brought 
 him down out of the 23 upper-room into the 
 house, and delivered him to his mother : 
 and Elijah said, See, thy son liveth. 
 
 24 f And the woman said to Elijah, Now 
 by this ( I know that thou art a man of 
 God, and that the word of Jehovah in thy 
 mouth is truth. 
 
 CHAPTER XVIII. 
 
 1 In the extremity of famine Elijah, sent to Ahab, 
 meeteth good Obadiah. 9 Obadiah bringeth Ahab 
 to Elijah. 17 Elijah, reproving Ahab, by fire 
 from heaven convinceth Baal's prophets. 41 Eli- 
 jah, by prayer obtaining rain, followeth Ahab to 
 Jezreel. 
 
 AND it came to pass after "many days, 
 that the word of Jehovah came to 
 Elijah in the third year, saying, Go, shew 
 thyself to Ahab; and 'I will send rain 
 upon the earth. 
 
 2 And Elijah went to shew himself to 
 Ahab. _ And there was a 'severe famine in 
 Samaria. 
 
 3 And Ahab called tObadiah, who was 
 2 over his house. (Now Obadiali feared 
 Jehovah greatly : 
 
 4 For it 3 nad come to pass, when tJezebel 
 cut off the prophets of Jehovah, that Oba- 
 diah took a hundred prophets, and hid 
 them by fifty in a cave, and fed them with 
 bread and water.) 
 
 5 And Ahab said to Obadiah, Go into the 
 land to all fountains of water, and to all 
 brooks: 4 perhaps we may find grass to 
 save the horses and mules alive, ' so' tthat 
 we lose not all the beasts. 
 
 6 So they divided the land between them 
 to pass throughout it : Ahab went one way 
 by nimself, and Obadiah went another way 
 by himself. 
 
 7 If And as Obadiah was in the way, be- 
 hold, Elijah met him : and he knew him, 
 and fell on his face, and said, Art thou 
 6 here my lord Elijah ? 
 
 8 And he answered him, I am : go, tell 
 thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here. 
 
 9 And he said, What have I sinned, that 
 thou wouldest deliver thy servant into the 
 hand of Ahab, to slay me ? 
 
 10 As Jehovah thy God liveth, there is 
 no nation or kingdom whither my lord 
 hath not sent to seek thee : and when they 
 said, He is not there ; he took an oath of 
 the kingdom and nation, that they found 
 thee not. 
 
Elijah sent to Ahab. 
 
 CHAPTER XVIII. 
 
 11 And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy 
 lord, Behold, Elijah is here. 
 
 12 And it 6 will come to pass, as soon as 
 I am gone from thee, that "the Spirit of 
 Jehovah 7 will carry thee whither I know 
 not ; and so when I come and tell Ahab, 
 and he cannot find thee, he 8 will slay me : 
 but I thy servant 9 have feared Jehovah 
 from my youth. 
 
 13 Was it not told my lord what I did 
 when Jezebel slew the prophets of Jeho- 
 vah, how I hid a hundred men of Jeho- 
 vah's prophets by fifty in a cave, and fed 
 them with bread and water ? 
 
 14 And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy 
 lord, Behold, Elijah is here ; and he ,0 will 
 slay me. 
 
 15 And Elijah said, As Jehovah of hosts 
 liveth, before whom I stand, I will surely 
 shew myself to him "this day. 
 
 16 So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and 
 told him : and Ahab went to meet Elijah. 
 
 17 f And it came to pass when Ahab saw 
 Elijah, that Ahab said to him, d Art thou 
 he that troubleth Israel ? 
 
 18 And he answered, I have not troubled 
 Israel; but thou, and thy father's house, 
 In that ye have forsaken the command- 
 ments of Jehovah, and thou hast followed 
 Baalim. 
 
 19 Now therefore send, and gather to me 
 all Israel u at mount s Carmel, and the 
 prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, 
 *and the prophets of the groves four hun- 
 dred, who eat at Jezebel's table. 
 
 20 So Ahab sent to all the children of 
 Israel, and 'gathered the prophets together 
 :8 at mount Carmel. 
 
 21 And Elijah came ' near' to all the peo- 
 ple, and said, *How long "hesitate ye be- 
 tween two || "opinions ? if Jehovah be 
 God, follow him : but if Baal, Hhen follow 
 him. And the people answered him not a 
 word. 
 
 22 Then said Elijah to the people, «I, 
 even I only, remain a prophet of Jehovah ; 
 "but Baal's prophets are four hundred and 
 fifty men. 
 
 23 Let them therefore give us two bul- 
 locks; and let them choose one bullock 
 for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and 
 lay it on wood, and put no fire under: and 
 I will dress the other bullock, and lay it 
 on wood, and put no fire under : 
 
 24 And call ye on the name of your gods, 
 and I will call on the name of Jehovah : 
 and the God who "answereth by fire, let 
 him be God. And all the people answered 
 and said, tit is well spoken. 
 
 25 And Elijah said to the prophets of 
 Baal, Choose l6 one bullock for yourselves, 
 and dress it first ; for ye are many ; and 
 call on the name of your gods, but put no 
 fire under. 
 
 26 And they took the bullock which was 
 given them, and they dressed it, and called 
 on the name of Baal from morning even 
 until noon, saying, O Baal, "answer us. 
 But there was p no voice, nor any that ||an- 
 swered. And they ||leaped upon the altar 
 which was made. 
 
 27 And it came to pass at noon, that 
 Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry taloud : 
 for he is a god : either ||he is talking, or he 
 18 hath gone aside, or he is in a journey, or 
 "perhaps he sleepeth, and must be awaked.

 Baal's prophets are slain. 
 
 28 And they cried aloud, and 'cut them- 
 selves *°according to their custom with 
 knives and 21 lances, till tthe blood gushed 
 out upon them. 
 
 29 And it came to pass, when midday 
 was past, r and they prophesied until the 
 time of n toftering ** the evening sacrifice, 
 that there was 'neither voice, nor any to 
 answer, nor any tthat regarded. 
 
 30 And Elijah said to all the people, 
 Come near to me. And all the people 
 came near to him. 'And he repaired the 
 altar of Jehovah which was broken down 
 
 31 And Elijah took twelve stones, ac- 
 cording to the number of the tribes of the 
 sons of Jacob, to whom the word of Jeho- 
 vah came, saying, "Israel shall be thy 
 name : 
 
 32 And with the stones he built an altar 
 r in the name of Jehovah : and he made a 
 trench about the altar, as great as would 
 contain two measures of seed. 
 
 33 And he "put the wood in order, and 
 cut the bullock in pieces, and laid him on 
 the wood, and said, Fill four ^ails with 
 water, and *pour it on the burnt-sacrifice, 
 and on the wood. 
 
 34 And he said, Do it the second time. 
 And they did it the second time. And he 
 said, Do it the third time. And they did 
 it the third time. 
 
 35 And the water Iran round about the 
 altar ; and he filled "the trench also with 
 water. 
 
 36 And it came to pass at the time of K 
 offering M the evening sacrifice, that Elijah 
 the prophet came near and said, Jehovah 
 ^God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, 'let 
 it be known this day that thou art God in 
 Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that 
 d l have done all these things "by thy word. 
 
 37 ^ Answer me, O Jehovah, ^answer 
 me, that this people may know that thou 
 art Jehovah God, and that thou hast turn- 
 ed their heart back again. 
 
 38 Then the fire of Jehovah fell, and 
 consumed the burnt-sacrifice, and the 
 wood, and the stones, and the dust, and 
 licked up the water that was in the trench. 
 
 39 And when all the people saw it, they 
 fell on their faces : and they said, 'Jeho- 
 vah, he is the God; Jehovah he is the 
 God. 
 
 40 And Elijah said to them, U^Seize the 
 prophets of Baal ; let not one of them 
 escape. And they 3I seized them : and 
 Elijah brought them down to the brook 
 Kishon, and *slew them there. 
 
 41 % And Elijah said to Ahab, 32 Go up, 
 eat and drink ; for there is ||a sound of 33 an 
 abundant shower. 
 
 42 So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. 
 And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel ; 
 'and he cast himself down on the earth, 
 and put his face between his knees, 
 
 43 And said to his servant, Go up now, 
 look towards the sea. And he went up, 
 and looked, and said, There is nothing. 
 And he said, Go again seven times. 
 
 44 And it came to pass at the seventh 
 time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a 
 little cloud S4 from the sea, like a man's 
 hand. And he said, Go up, say to Ahab, 
 tPrepare thy chariot, and S5 go down, that 
 the ^shower stop thee not. 
 
 45 And it came to pass in the mean while, 
 
 265 
 
God appeareth to Elijah in Horeb. 
 
 that the heavens 37 were dark with clouds 
 and wind, and there was a great M shower. 
 And Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel. 
 46 And the hand of Jehovah was on 
 Elijah; and he *girded up his loins, and ran 
 before Ahab tto the entrance of Jezreel. 
 
 CHAPTER XIX. 
 
 1 Elijah, threatened by Jezebel, fleeth to Beer-sheba. 
 4 In the desert, being weary of his life, he is 
 comforted by an angel. 9 At Horeb God appeareth 
 unto him, sending him to anoint Hazael,Jehu, and 
 Elisha. 19 Elisha, taking leave of his friends, 
 followeth Elijah. 
 
 AND Ahab told Jezebel all which Elijah 
 had done, and 'also how he had "slain 
 all the prophets with the sword. 
 
 2 Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, 
 saying, 'So let the gods do to me, and more 
 also, if I make not thy life as the life of one 
 of them by to-morrow about this time. 
 
 3 And when he saw that, he arose, and 
 went for his life, and came to Beer-sheba, 
 which belongeth to Judah, and left his ser- 
 vant there. 
 
 4 f But he himself went a day's journey 
 into the 2 desert, and came and sat down 
 under a juniper-tree : and he 'requested 
 tfor himself that he might die : and said, 
 It is enough ; now, Jehovah, take away 
 my life; for I am not better than my 
 fathers. 
 
 5 And as he lay and slept under a juniper- 
 tree, behold, then an angel touched him, 
 and said to him, Arise and eat. 
 
 6 And he looked, and behold, there was 
 a cake baken on the coals, and a 3 bottle 
 of water at his thead : and he did eat and 
 drink, and laid himself down again. 
 
 7 And the angel of Jehovah came again 
 the second time, and touched him, and 
 said, Arise and eat, because the journey 
 is too great for thee. 
 
 8 And he arose, and did eat and drink, 
 and went 4 by the strength of that 6 food 
 d forty days and forty nights to 'Horeb the 
 mount of God. 
 
 9 1f And he came thither to a cave, and 
 lodged there ; and behold, the word of Je- 
 hovah came to him, and he said to him, 
 What doest thou here, Elijah ? 
 
 10 And he said, f I have been very jea- 
 lous for Jehovah God of hosts : 6 because 
 the children of Israel have forsaken thy 
 covenant, thrown down thine altars, and 
 "slain thy prophets with the sword; and 
 % even I only, am left ; and they seek my 
 life, to take it away. 
 
 11 And he said, Go forth, and stand 'upon 
 the mount before Jehovah. And behold, 
 Jehovah passed by, and ! a great and strong 
 wind rent the mountains, and broke 7 the 
 rocks before Jehovah ; but Jehovah was 
 not in the wind: and after the wind an 
 earthquake ; but Jehovah was not in the 
 earthquake : 
 
 12 And after the earthquake a fire ; but 
 Jehovah was not in the fire : and after the 
 fire a 8 low small voice. 
 
 13 And it was so, when Elijah heard it, 
 that m he wrapped his face in his mantle, 
 and went out, and stood in the 9 entrance 
 of the cave. "And behold, there came a 
 voice to him, and said, What doest thou 
 here, Elijah ? 
 
 14 "And he said, I have been very jealous 
 for Jehovah God of hosts: because the

 15 And Jehovah said to him, Go, return 
 on thy way '"towards the desert of Damas- 
 cus : ' and when thou comest, anoint Ha- 
 zael to be king over Syria : 
 
 16 And 'Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt 
 thou anoint to be king over Israel : and

 in Israel, ail the knees which have not

 hath not kissed him. 
 
 19 If So he departed thence, and found 
 Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plough- 
 ing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, 
 and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed 
 by him, and cast his mantle upon him. 
 
 20 And he left the oxen, and ran after 
 Elijah, and said, ^Let me, I pray thee, kiss 
 my father and my mother, and then I will 
 follow thee. And he said to him, tGo back 
 again : for what have I done to thee ? 
 
 21 And he turned back from him, and 
 took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and 
 2 boiled their flesh with the instruments of 
 the oxen, and gave to the people, and they 
 did eat. Then he arose, and went after 
 Elijah, and "waited on him. 
 
 CHAPTER XX. 
 
 1 Ben-hadad, not content with Ahab's homage, be- 
 siegeth Samaria. 13 By the direction of a prophet, 
 the Syrians are slain. 22 As the prophet fore- 
 warned Ahab, the Syrians, trusting in the valleys, 
 come against him in Aphek. 23 By the word of 
 the prophet, and God's judgment, the Syrians are 
 smitten again. 31 The Syrians submitting them- 
 selves, Ahab sendeth Ben-hadad away with a cove- 
 nant. 35 The prophet, under the parable of a 
 prisoner, making Ahab to judge himself, de- 
 nounceth God's judgment against him. 
 
 AND Ben-hadad the king of Syria 
 gathered all his host together: and 
 there were thirty and two kings with him, 
 and horses, ana chariots : and he went 
 up and besieged Samaria, and warred 
 against it. 
 
 2 And he sent messengers to Ahab king 
 of Israel into the city, and said to him, 
 Thus saith Ben-hadad, 
 
 3 Thy silver and thy gold is mine ; thy 
 wives also and thy children, even the 'best, 
 are mine. 
 
 4 And the king of Israel answered and 
 said, My lord, O king, according to thy 
 saying, I am thine, and all that I have. 
 
 5 And the messengers came again, and 
 said, Thus speaketh Ben-hadad, saying, 
 Although I have sent to thee, saving, Thou 
 shalt deliver me thy silver, and thy gold, 
 and thy wives, and thy children ; 
 
 6 Yet I will send my servants to thee 
 to-morrow about this time, and they shall 
 search thy house, and the houses of thy 
 servants ; and it shall 2 come to pass, that 
 whatever is t pleasant in 3 thy sight, they 
 shall put it in their hand, and take it away. 
 
 7 Then the king of Israel called all the 
 
Ben-luidad besiegeth Samaria. 
 
 elders of the land, and said, Mark, I pray 
 you, and see how this man seeketh mis- 
 chief: for he sent to me for my wives, and 
 for my children, and for my silver, and for 
 my gold, and tl denied him not. 
 
 8 And all the elders and all the people 
 said to him. Hearken not * nor consent. 
 
 9 Wherefore he said to the messengers 
 of Ben-hadad, Tell my lord, the king, All 
 that thou didst send 6 to thy servant ' for' 
 at 6 first, I will do : but this thing I 7 can 
 not do. And the messengers departed, 
 and brought him word again. 
 
 10 And Ben-hadad sent to him, and said, 
 "The gods do so to me, and more also, if 
 the dust of Samaria shall suffice for hand- 
 fuls for all the people that tfollow me. 
 
 11 And the king of Israel answered and 
 said, Tell him, Let not him that girdeth 
 on his s armour boast himself as he who 
 putteth it oft'. 
 
 12 And it came to pass, when Ben-hadad 
 heard this tmessage as he was Mrinking, 
 he and the kings in the || 'booths, that he 
 said to his servants, ||Set yourselves in 
 array. And they set themselves in array 
 against the city. 
 
 13 Tf And behold, 10 a prophet came near 
 to Ahab king of Israel, saying, Thus saith 
 Jehovah, Hast thou seen all this great 
 multitude? behold, 'I will deliver it into 
 thy hand this day ; and thou shalt know 
 that I am Jehovah. 
 
 14 And Ahab said, By whom ? And he 
 said, Thus saith Jehovah, Even by the 
 jjyoung men of the princes of the provinces. 
 Then he said, Who shall "begin the battle ? 
 And he answered, Thou. 
 
 15 Then he numbered the young men of 
 the princes of the provinces, and they 
 were two hundred and thirty -two \ and 
 after them he numbered all the people, 
 even all the children of Israel, being seven 
 thousand. 
 
 16 And they went out at noon. But Ben- 
 hadad was d drinking himself drunk in the 
 l2 booths, he and the kings, the thirty and 
 two kings that helped him. 
 
 17 And the young men of the princes of 
 the provinces went out first; and Ben- 
 hadad sent out, and they told him, saying, 
 There are men come out of Samaria. 
 
 18 And he said, Whether they 18 are come 
 out for peace, "seize them alive ; or whe- 
 ther they 15 are come out for war, ,6 seize 
 them alive. 
 
 19 So these young men of the princes of 
 the provinces came out of the city, and 
 the army which followed them. 
 
 20 And they slew "each one his man: 
 and the Syrians fled ; and Israel pursued 
 them : and Ben-hadad the king of Syria 
 escaped on a horse with the horsemen. 
 
 21 And the king of Israel went out, and 
 smote the horses and chariots, and slew 
 the Syrians with a great slaughter. 
 
 22 f And the prophet came 'near' to 
 the king of Israel, and said to him, Go, 
 strengthen thyself, and mark, and see 
 what thou 18 must do : 'for at the return of 
 the year the king of Syria will come up 
 against thee. 
 
 23 And the servants of the king of Syria 
 said to him, Their gods are gods of the 
 "mountains ; therefore they were stronger 
 than we ; but let us fight against them in

 ened to their voice, and did so. 
 
 26 And it came to pass at the return of 
 the year, that Ben-hadad numbered the 
 Syrians, and went up to 'Aphek, tto fight 
 against Israel. 
 
 27 And the children of Israel were num- 
 bered, and were ^victualled, and went 
 against them : and the children of Israel 
 pitched before them like two little flocks 
 of kids; but the Syrians filled the country. 
 
 28 If And there came ' near' a man of 
 God, and spoke to the king of Israel, and 
 said, Thus saith Jehovah, Because the 
 Syrians have said, Jehovah is God of the 
 "mountains, but he is not God of the val- 
 leys, therefore *will I deliver all this great 
 multitude into thy hand, and ye shall 
 know that I am Jehovah. 
 
 29 And they pitched one over against the 
 other seven days. And 26 it came to pass, 
 that '"on the seventh day the battle was 
 joined : and the children of Israel slew 
 of the Syrians a hundred thousand foot- 
 men in one day. 
 
 30 But the rest fled to Aphek, into the 
 city ; and 28 a wall fell upon twenty and 
 seven thousand of the men that were left. 
 And Ben-hadad fled, and came into the 
 city, || tinto an inner chamber. 
 
 31 Tf And his servants said to him, Be- 
 hold now, we have heard that the kings of 
 the house of Israel are 29 kind kings: let us, 
 I pray thee, *put sackcloth on our loins, and 
 ropes on our heads, and go out to the king 
 of Israel : ""perhaps he will save thy life. 
 
 32 So they girded sackcloth on their loins, 
 and put ropes on their heads, and came to 
 the king of Israel, and said, Thy servant 
 Ben-hadad saith, I pray thee, let me live. 
 And he said, Is he yet alive ? he is my 
 brother. 
 
 33 Now the men 31 took this for a sign, 
 and they hasted and made him declare 
 whether it were from him : and they said, 
 Thy brother Ben-hadad. Then he said, 
 Go ye, bring him. Then Ben-hadad came 
 forth to him ; and he caused him to come 
 up into the chariot. 
 
 34 And Ben-hadad said to him, 'The 
 cities, which my father took from thy 
 father, I will restore; and thou shalt make 
 streets for 32 thyself in Damascus, as my 
 father made in Samaria. Then said Ahab, 
 I will send thee away with this covenant. 
 So he made a covenant with him, and sent 
 him away. 
 
 35 \ And a certain man of *the sons of 
 the prophets said to his neighbour !33 by the 
 word of Jehovah, Smite me, I pray thee. 
 And the man refused to smite him. 
 
 36 Then said he to him, Because thou 
 hast not obeyed the voice of Jehovah, be- 
 hold, as soon as thou art departed from 
 me, a lion shall slay thee. And as soon 
 as he was departed from him, m a lion found 
 him, and slew him. 
 
 26: 
 
Jihab coveteth Nabotlfs vineyard. 
 
 37 Then lie found another man, and said, 
 Smite me, I pray thee. And the man 
 smote him, tso that in smiting he wounded 
 him. 
 
 58 So the prophet departed, and waited 
 for the king by the way, and disguised 
 himself with '"a bandage over his face. 
 
 39 And "as the king passed by, he cried 
 to the king: and he said, Thy servant 
 went out into the midst of the battle ; and 
 behold, a man turned aside, and brought 
 a man to me, and said, Keep this man : if 
 by any means he be missing, then "shall 
 thy life be for his life, or else thou shalt 
 tpay a talent of silver. 
 
 40 And as thy servant was busy here and 
 there, the was gone. And the king of Is- 
 rael said to him, So shall thy judgment be; 
 ' thou' thyself hast decided it. 
 
 41 And he hasted, and took the bandage 
 away from his face ; and the king of Israel 
 discerned him that he was ' one' of the 
 prophets. 
 
 42 And he said to him, Thus saith Jeho- 
 vah, ^Because thou hast let go out of thy 
 hand a man 36 devoted by me to utter de- 
 struction, therefore thy life shall go for his 
 life, and thy people for his people. 
 
 43 And the king of Israel «went to his 
 house 37 sullen and displeased, and came to 
 Samaria. 
 
 CHAPTER XXI. 
 
 1 Ahab being denied Naboth's vineyard is grieved. 
 5 Jezebel writing letters against Naboth, ke is 
 condemned for cursing. 15 Ahab taketh posses- 
 sion of the vineyard. 17 Elijah denounceth judg- 
 ments against Ahab and Jezebel. 25 Wicked 
 Ahab repenting, God deferreth the judgment. 
 
 AND it came to pass after these things, 
 that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vine- 
 yard, which was in Jezreel, 'near by the 
 palace of Ahab king of Samaria. 
 
 2 And Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, 
 Give me thy "vineyard, that I may have it 
 for a garden of herbs ; because it is near 
 to my house: and I will give thee for it a 
 better vineyard than it; or if it tseem 
 good to thee, I will give thee the ^price of 
 it in money. 
 
 3 And Naboth said to Ahab, Jehovah 
 forbid it c to' me, 'that I should give the 
 inheritance of my fathers to thee. 
 
 4 And Ahab came to his house 3 sullen 
 and displeased, because of the word which 
 Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him : 
 for he had said, I will not give thee the in- 
 heritance of my fathers. And he 4 lay 6 
 down on his bed, and turned away his 
 face, and would eat no 6 food. 
 
 5 ^f But Jezebel his wife came to him, 
 and said to him, Why is thy spirit so 'sul- 
 len, that thou eatest no 8 food ? 
 
 6 And he said to her, Because I spoke to 
 Naboth the Jezreelite, and said to him, 
 Give me thy vineyard for money ; or else, 
 if it please thee, I will give thee another 
 vineyard for it : and he answered, I will 
 not give thee my vineyard. 
 
 7 And Jezebel his wife said to him, Dost 
 thou now govern the kingdom of Israel ? 
 arise, and eat 9 food, and let thy heart be 
 merry: I will give thee the vineyard of 
 Naboth the Jezreelite. 
 
 8 So she wrote letters in Ahab's name, 
 and sealed them with his seal, and sent the 
 letters to the elders and to the nobles that 
 were in his city, dwelling with Naboth.

 Myall's prophecy against Ahab, 
 
 9 And she wrote in the letters, saying, 
 Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth ton high 
 among the people : 
 
 10 And set two men, sons of "wicked- 
 ness, before him, to bear witness against 
 him, saying, thou didst c "curse God and 
 the king. And then carry him out, and 
 ''stone him, that he may die. 
 
 11 And the men of his city, even the 
 elders and the nobles who were the in- 
 habitants in his city, did as Jezebel had 
 sent to them, and as it was written in the 
 letters which she had sent to them. 
 
 12 'They proclaimed a fast, and set Na- 
 both on high among the people. 
 
 13 And there came in two men, ,2 sons of 
 wickedness, and sat before him : and the 
 men of ^wickedness witnessed against 
 him, even against Naboth, in the presence 
 of the people, saying, Naboth did H curse 
 God and the king. Then they carried 
 him forth out of the city, and stoned him 
 with stones, 15 and he died. 
 
 14 Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, 
 Naboth is stoned, and is dead. 
 
 15 If And it came to pass, when Jezebel 
 heard that Naboth was stoned, and was 
 dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, 
 take possession of the vineyard of Naboth 
 the Jezreelite, which he refused to give 
 thee for money : for Naboth is not alive, 
 but dead. 
 
 16 And it came to pass, when Ahab heard 
 that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up 
 to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the 
 Jezreelite, to take possession of it. 
 
 17 If f And the word of Jehovah came to 
 Elijah the Tishbite, saying, 
 
 18 Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of 
 Israel, *who is in Samaria : behold, he is 
 in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is 
 gone down to possess it. 
 
 19 And thou shalt speak to him, saying, 
 Thus saith Jehovah, Hast thou killed, and 
 also taken possession? And thou shalt 
 speak tohim,saying,Thus saith Jehovah/Iii 
 the place where dogs licked the blood of 
 Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood,even thine. 
 
 20 And Ahab said to Elijah, *Hast thou 
 found me, O mine enemy? And he an- 
 swered, I have found thee : because 'thou 
 hast sold thyself to work evil in the sight 
 of Jehovah. 
 
 21 Behold, m I will bring evil upon thee, 
 and will take away thy posterity, and will 
 cut off from Ahab nI6 the males, "even the 
 bond and the free in Israel, 
 
 22 And will make thy house like the 
 house of ''Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and 
 like the house of 'Baasha the son of Ahijah, 
 for the provocation wherewith thou hast 
 provoked me, " and made Israel to sin. 
 
 23 And r of Jezebel also spoke Jehovah, 
 saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the 
 I8 ditch of Jezreel. 
 
 24 'Him that dieth of Ahab in the city 
 the dogs shall eat: and him that dieth in 
 the field shall the fowls of the air eat. 
 
 25 % But 'there was 19 no one like to Ahab, 
 who did sell himself to work wickedness 
 in the sight of Jehovah, "whom Jezebel 
 his wife IJstirred up. 
 
 26 And he did very abominably in fol- 
 lowing idols, according to all things x &s 
 did the Amorites, whom Jehovah 'had' 
 cast out before the children of Israel.

 Jlhab goelh up against Ramoth-gilead. CHAPTER XXII. 
 
 27 And it came to pass, when Ahab heard 
 those words, that he rent his clothes, and 
 'put sackcloth on his flesh, and fasted, and 
 lay in sackcloth, and 20 \valked softly. 
 
 28 And the word of Jehovah came to 
 Elijah the Tishbite, saying, 
 
 29 Seest thou how Ahab humbleth him- 
 self before me ? because he humbleth him- 
 self before me, I will not bring the evil in 
 his days : but s in his son's days will I bring 
 the evil upon his house. 
 
 CHAPTER XXII. 
 
 1 Ahab, seduced by false prophets, according to the 
 word of Micaiah, is siain at Ramoth-gilead. 37 
 The dogs lick up his blood, and Ahaziah succeedeth 
 him. 41 Jehoshaphat's good reign. 45 His acts. 
 50 Jehoram succeedeth him. 51 Ahaziah's evil reign. 
 
 AND they continued three years with- 
 out war between Syria and Israel. 
 2 And it came to pass in the third year, 
 that Mehoshaphat the king of Judah came 
 down to the king of Israel. 
 S And the king of Israel said to his ser- 
 vants, Know ye that *Ramoth in Gilead is 
 ours, and we *are tstill, and take it not out 
 of the hand of the king of Syria ? 
 
 4 And he said to Jehoshaphat, Wilt thou 
 go with me to battle to Ramoth-gilead ? 
 And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Is- 
 rael, C I am as thou art, my people as thy 
 people, my horses as thy horses. 
 
 5 And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Is- 
 rael, Inquire, I pray thee, *from the word 
 of Jehovah to-day. 
 
 6 Then the king of Israel ^gathered the 
 prophets together, about four hundred men, 
 ana said to them, Shall I go against Ra- 
 moth-gilead to battle, or shall I forbear ? 
 And they said, Go up ; for Jehovah 3 will 
 deliver it into the hand of the king. 
 
 7 And 'Jehoshaphat said, Is there not 
 here a prophet of Jehovah, 4 that we 5 may 
 inquire of him ? 
 
 8 And the king of Israel said to Jehosha- 
 phat, There is yet one man, Micaiah the 
 son of Imlah, by -whom we may inquire of 
 Jehovah : but I hate him : for he doth not 
 prophesy good concerning me, but evil. 
 And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king 
 6 speak thus. 
 
 9 Then the king of Israel called an ||offi- 
 cer, and said, Hasten hither Micaiah the 
 son of Imlah. 
 
 10 And the king of Israel, and Jehosha- 
 phat the king of Judah, sat each on his 
 throne, having put on their robes, in a 
 t 'level place in the entrance of the gate 
 of Samaria ; and all the prophets prophe- 
 sied before them. 
 
 11 And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah 
 made himself horns of iron: and he said, 
 Thus saith Jehovah, With these shalt thou 
 push the Syrians, until 8 they are consumed. 
 
 12 And all the prophets prophesied so, 
 saying, Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and pros- 
 per : for Jehovah 9 vvill deliver it into the 
 king's hand. 
 
 13 And the messenger 10 vvho went to call 
 Micaiah spoke to him, saying, Behold now, 
 the words of the prophets declare good to 
 the king with one "voice: let thy word, I 
 pray thee, be like the word of one of them, 
 and speak ^thou good. 
 
 14 And Micaiah said, As Jehovah liveth, 
 'what Jehovah saith to me, that will I 
 speak.

 against Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall 
 we forbear ? And he answered him, Go, 
 and prosper : for Jehovah ,3 will deliver it 
 into the hand of the king. 
 
 16 And the king said to him, How many 
 times shall I "make thee swear that thou 
 tell me nothing but that which is true in 
 the name of Jehovah ? 
 
 17 And he said, I saw all Israel 'scattered 
 upon the "mountains, as sheep that have 
 w no shepherd: and Jehovah said, These 
 have no master; let them return "each 
 man to his house in peace. 
 
 18 And the king of Israel said to Jeho- 
 shaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would 
 prophesy no good concerning me, but evil f 
 
 19 I8 Then he said, Hear thou therefore 
 the word of Jehovah: *I saw Jehovah 
 sitting on his throne, 'and all the host of 
 heaven standing by him on his right hand 
 and on his left. 
 
 20 And Jehovah said, Who t9 will ||per- 
 suade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at 
 Ramoth-gilead? And one said *° this, S1 
 and another said M that. M 
 
 21 And there came forth a spirit, 
 and stood before Jehovah, and said, I will 
 persuade him. 
 
 22 And Jehovah said to him, ^How? 
 And he said, I will go forth, and I will be 
 a lying spirit in the mouth of all his pro- 
 phets. And he said, *Thou shalt persuade 
 him, and prevail also : go forth, and do so. 
 
 23 'Now therefore, behold, Jehovah hath 
 put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these 
 thy prophets, and Jehovah hath spoken 
 evil ^against thee. 
 
 24 * 8 And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah 
 went near, and smote Micaiah on the 
 cheek, and said, "Which way went 29 a Spi- 
 rit of Jehovah from me to speak to thee ? 
 
 25 And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt 
 see *°on that day, when thou shalt go ||into 
 tan inner chamber to hide thyself. 
 
 26 And the king of Israel said, Take Mi- 
 caiah, and carry him back to Amon the 
 
 fovernor of the city, and to Joash the 
 ing's son ; 
 
 27 And say, Thus saith the king, Put this 
 3l man in K prison, and feed him with bread 
 of affliction, and with water of affliction, 
 until I come in peace. 
 
 28 And Micaiah said, If thou return at 
 all in peace, "Jehovah hath not spoken by 
 me. And he said, Hearken, ^all ye people. 
 
 29 So the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat 
 the king of Judah went up to Ramoth- 
 gilead. 
 
 30 And the king of Israel said to Jeho- 
 shaphat li I will disguise myself, and enter 
 into the battle ; but put thou on thy robes. 
 And the king of Israel "disguised himself, 
 and went into the battle. 
 
 31 But the king of Syria commanded his 
 thirty and two captains _ M who ruled his 
 chariots, saying, Fight neither with small 
 nor great, 35 excepting only with the king 
 of Israel. 
 
 32 And it came to pass, when the cap- 
 tains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that 
 they said, Surely it is the king of Israel. 
 And they turned aside to fight against 
 him : and Jehoshaphat ^cried out 
 
 33 And it came to pass, when the cap- 
 
 269 
 
Jehoshaphat' s acts. 
 
 taips of the chariots perceived that it was 
 not the king of Israel, that they turned 
 back from pursuing him. 
 
 34 And a * man drew a bow tat a venture, 
 and smote the king of Israel between the 
 t joints of the 3r coat of mail : wherefore he 
 said to the driver of his chariot, Turn thy 
 hand, and carry me out of the host ; for I 
 am twounded. 
 
 35 And the battle tincreased that day 
 and the king was stayed up in his chariot 
 against the Syrians, and died at 38 evening: 
 and the blood ran out of the wound into 
 the S9 hollow of the chariot. 
 
 36 And there went a proclamation 
 throughout the host about the going down 
 of the sun, saying, Every man to his city 
 and every man to his own country. 
 
 37 f So the king died, and twas brought 
 to Samaria ; and they buried the king in 
 Samaria. 
 
 38 And one washed the chariot in the 
 pool of Samaria ; and the dogs licked up 
 his blood; and the harlots washed him; 
 according «to the word of Jehovah which 
 he spoke. 
 
 39 Now the rest of the acts of Ahab, and 
 all that he did, and the ivory house which 
 he made, and all the cities that he built, 
 are they not written in the book of the 
 Chronicles of the kings of Israel ? 
 
 40 So Ahab 41 lay with his fathers; and 
 Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead. 
 
 41 If And 'Jehoshaphat the son of Asa 
 began to reign over Judah in the fourth 
 year of Ahab king of Israel. 
 
 42 Jehoshaphat was thirty and five years 
 old when he began to reign ; and he reign-

 teenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, 
 and reigned two years over Israel. 
 
 52 And he did evil in the sight of Jeho- 
 vah, and ^walked in the way of his father, 
 and in the way of his mother, and in the 
 way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who 
 made Israel to sin : 
 
 53 For '■he served Baal, and worshipped 
 him, and provoked 44 Jehovah God of Is- 
 rael, according to all that his father had 
 done.

 CHAPTER I. 
 
 1 Moab rebelleth. 2 Ahaziah, sending to Baal-zebub, 
 hath his judgment by Elijah. 5 Elijah twice 
 bringeth fire from heaven upon them whom Aha- 
 ziah sent to apprehend him. 13 He pitieth the third 
 captain, and, encouraged by an angel, tclleth the 
 king of his death. 17 Jehoram succeedeth Ahaziah. 
 
 'TVTOW Moab "rebelled against Israel 
 -L^ *after the death of Ahab. 
 
 2 And Ahaziah fell down through a lat- 
 tice in his upper chamber that was in Sa- 
 maria, and was sick : and he sent messen- 
 gers, and said to them, Go, inquire of 
 Baal-zebub the god of 'Ekron, whether I 
 shall recover of this disease. 
 
 3 But the angel of Jehovah said to Elijah 
 the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the 
 messengers of the king of Samaria, and 
 say to them, Is it not because there is not 
 a God in Israel, that ye go to inquire of 
 Baal-zebub the god of Ekron? 
 
 4 Now therefore thus saith Jehovah, 
 tThou shalt not come down from that bed 
 on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely 
 die. And Elijah departed. 
 
 5 f And when the messengers turned 
 back to him, he said to them, Why are ye 
 now turned back ?

 6 And they said to him, There came a 
 man up to meet us, and said to us, Go, 
 turn again to the king who sent you, and 
 say to him, Thus saith Jehovah, Is it not 
 because there is not a God in Israel, that 
 thou sendest to inquire of Baal-zebub the 
 god of Ekron? therefore thou shalt not 
 come down from that bed on which thou 
 art gone up, but shalt surely die. 
 
 7 And he said to them, tWhat 2 kind of 
 man was he who came up to meet you, and 
 told you these words ? 
 
 8 And they answered him, He was rf a 
 hairy man, and girt with a girdle of leather 
 about his loins. And he said, It is Elijah 
 the Tishbite. 
 
 9 Then the king sent to him a captain of 
 fifty with his fifty. And he went up to 
 him : and behold, he sat on the top of a 
 'mountain. And he spoke to him, Thou 
 man of God, the king hath said, Come 
 down. 
 
 10 And Elijah answered and said to the 
 captain of fifty, If I he a man of God, then 
 'let fire come down from heaven, and con- 
 sume thee and thy fifty. And there came 
 down fire from heaven, and consumed him 
 and his fifty. 
 
Jlkaziah dieth. 
 
 11 Again also he sent to him another cap- 
 tain of fifty with his fifty 1 . And he 4 spoke 
 and said to him, O man of God, thus nath 
 the king said, Come down quickly. 
 
 12 And Elijah answered and said to them, 
 If I be a man of God, let fire come down 
 from heaven, and consume thee and thy 
 fifty. And the fire of God came down from 
 heaven, and consumed him and his fifty. 
 
 13 % And he sent again a captain of the 
 third fifty with his fifty. And the third 
 captain of fifty went up, and came and 
 tfell on his knees before Elijah, and be- 
 sought him, and said to him, O man of 
 God, I pray thee, let my life, and the life 
 of these fifty thy servants, ^be precious in 
 thy sight. 
 
 14 Behold, there came fire down from 
 heaven, and burnt up the two captains of 
 the former fifties with their fifties : there- 
 fore let my life now be precious in thy 
 sight. 
 
 15 And the angel of Jehovah said to 
 Elijah, Go down with him : be not afraid 
 of him. And he arose, and went down 
 with him to the king. 
 
 16 And he said to nim, Thus saith Jeho- 
 vah, s Because thou hast sent messengers 
 to inquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron, 
 (is it not because there is no God in Israel 
 to inquire of his word?) therefore thou 
 shalt not come down € from that bed on 
 which thou art gone up, but shalt surely 
 die. 
 
 17 If So he died according to the word of 
 Jehovah which Elijah had spoken. And 
 HJehoram reigned in his stead in the second 
 year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat 
 king of Judah ; because he had no son. 
 
 18 Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah 
 which he did, are they not written in the 
 book of the Chronicles of the kings of Is- 
 rael ? 
 
 CHAPTER II. 
 
 1 Elijah, taking his leave of Elisha, with his mantle 
 divideth Jordan, 9 'and, granting Elisha his re- 
 quest, is taken up by a fiery chariot into heaven. 
 12 Elisha, dividing Jordan with Elijah's mantle, 
 is acknowledged his successor. 16 The young 
 prophets, hardly obtaining leave to seek Elijah, 
 could not find him. 19 Elisha with salt healeth 
 the unwholesome waters. 23 Bears destroy the 
 children that mocked Elisha. 
 
 AND it came to pass, when Jehovah 
 would "take up Elijah into heaven by 
 a whirlwind, that Elijah went with *Elisha 
 from Gilgal. 
 
 2 And Elijah said to Elisha, "Tarry here, 
 I pray thee ; for Jehovah hath sent me to 
 Beth-el. And Elisha said to him, As Je- 
 hovah liveth, and d as 'thou livest, I will not 
 leave thee. So they went down to Beth-el. 
 
 3 And "the sons of the prophets who were 
 at Beth-el came forth to Elisha, and said 
 to him, Knowest thou that Jehovah will 
 take away thy master from thy head to- 
 day ? And he said, Yea, I know it ; hold 
 ye your peace. 
 
 4 And Elijah said to him, Elisha, tarry 
 here, I pray thee ; for Jehovah hath sent 
 me to Jericho. And he said, Jls Jehovah 
 liveth, and as 3 thou livest, I will not leave 
 thee. So they came to Jericho. 
 
 5 And the sons of the prophets that were 
 at Jericho came ' near' to Elisha, and said 
 to him, Knowest thou that Jehovah will 
 take away thy master from thy head to-

 6 And Elijah said to him, Tarry, I pray

 and as 3 thou livest, I will not leave thee. 
 And they two went on. 
 
 7 And hfty men of the sons of the prophets 
 went, and stood *in sight afar off: and they 
 two stood by Jordan. 
 
 8 And Elijah took his mantle, and wrap- 
 ped it together, and smote the waters, and 
 ^they were divided hither and thither, so 
 that they two went over on dry ground. 
 
 9 If And it came to pass, when they 6 had 
 gone over, that Elijah said to Elisha, Ask 
 what I shall do for thee, before I "am taken 
 away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray 
 thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be 
 upon me. 
 
 10 And he said, tThou hast asked a hard 
 thing : nevertheless, if thou see me when 1 
 am taken from thee, it shall be so to thee ; 
 but if not, it shall not be so. 
 
 11 And it came to pass, as they still went 
 on, and talked, that behold, 7 then *a cha- 
 riot of fire, and horses of fire, 8 that parted 
 them both asunder; and Elijah went up 
 9 in a whirlwind into heaven. 
 
 12 ^f And Elisha saw it, and he cried, ^My 
 father, the chariot of Israel, and the horse- 
 men thereof! And he saw him no more: 
 and he took hold of his own clothes, and 
 rent them in two pieces. 
 
 13 He took up also the mantle of Elijah 
 that fell from nim, and went back, and 
 stood by the tbank of Jordan ; 
 
 14 And he took the mantle of Elijah that 
 fell from him, and smote the waters, and 
 said, Where is Jehovah ' the' God of Eli- 
 jah? And when he also had smitten the 
 waters, they parted hither and thither : and 
 Elisha went over. 
 
 15 And when the sons of the prophets 
 who were I10 in sight at Jericho saw him, 
 they said, The spirit of Elijah doth rest on 
 Elisha. And they came to meet him, and 
 bowed themselves to the ground before 
 him. 
 
 16 If And they said to him, Behold now, 
 there "are with thy servants fifty tstrong 
 men : let them go, we pray thee, and seek 
 thy master: m lest "perhaps the Spirit of 
 Jehovah hath taken him up, and cast him 
 upon tsome mountain, or into some valley. 
 And he said, Ye shall not send. 
 
 17 And when they urged him till he was 
 ashamed, he said, Send. They sent there- 
 fore fifty men ; and they sought three days, 
 but found him not. 
 
 18 And when they came again to him, 
 
 ifor he tarried at Jericho,) he said to them, 
 )id I not say to you, Go not ? 
 
 19 If And the men of the city .said to 
 Elisha, Behold, I pray thee, the situation 
 of this city, is "good, as my lord seeth : 
 but the water is "bad, and the ground 
 tbarren. 
 
 20 And he said, Bring me a new 16 platter, 
 and put salt therein. And they brought it 
 to him. 
 
 21 And he went forth to the spring of the 
 waters, and "cast the salt in there, and 
 said, Thus saith Jehovah, I have healed 
 these waters ; there shall not. be from 
 thence any more death or "barrenness. 
 
 271 
 
Moab rebelleth against Israel. 
 
 22 So the waters were healed to this day, 
 according to the saying of Elisha which 
 he spoke. 
 
 23 And he went up from thence to 
 Beth-el : and as he was going up by the 
 way, there came forth little children out 
 of the city, and "scoffed at him, and said 
 to him, Go up, thou bald-head ; go up, thou 
 bald-head. 
 
 24 And he turned back, and looked on 
 them, and cursed them in the name of Je- 
 hovah. And there came forth two she- 
 bears out of the 18 forest, and 19 rent forty 
 and two children of them. 
 
 25 And he went from thence to mount 
 Carmel, and from thence he returned to 
 Samaria. 
 
 CHAPTER III. 
 
 1 Jehoram's reign. 4 Mesha rebelleth. 6 Jekoram, 
 with Jehoshaphat, and the Icing of Edom, being 
 distressed for want of water, by Elisha obtaineth 
 water, and promise of victory. 21 The Moabites, 
 deceived by the colour of the water, coming to 
 spoil, are overcome. 26 The king of Moab, by sa- 
 crificing the king of Edam's son, raiseth the siege. 
 NOW "Jehoram the son of Ahab began 
 to reign over Israel in Samaria in the 
 eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of 
 Judah, and reigned twelve years. 
 
 2 And he 'did evil in the sight of Jehovah; 
 but not like his father, and like his mother : 
 for he put away the 2 statue of Baal 'which 
 his father had made. 
 
 3 Nevertheless, he cleaved to 'the sins of 
 Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Is- 
 rael to sin ; he departed not 3 from them. 
 
 4 ^ And Mesha king of Moab was a 
 sheep-master, and rendered to the king of 
 Israel a hundred thousand d lambs, and a 
 hundred thousand rams, with the wool. 
 
 5 And it came to pass, when e Ahab was 
 dead, that the king of Moab rebelled 
 against the king of Israel, 
 i 6 If And king Jehoram went out of Sama- 
 ria the same time, and numbered all Israel. 
 
 7 And he went and sent to Jehoshaphat 
 the king of Judah, saying, The king of 
 Moab hath rebelled against me : wilt thou 
 go with me against Moab to battle ? And 
 he said, I will go up : ^1 am as thou art, 
 my people as thy people, and my horses as 
 thy horses. 
 
 8 And he said, Which way shall we go 
 up ? And he answered, The way through 
 the 4 desert of Edom. 
 
 9 So the king of Israel went, and the 
 king of Judah, and the king of Edom : and 
 they 6 made a compass of seven days' jour- 
 ney : and there was no water for the host, 
 and for the cattle tthat followed them. 
 
 10 And the king of Israel said, Alas, that 
 Jehovah hath called these three kings to 
 
 f ether, to deliver them into the hand of 
 loab ? 
 
 11 But ^Jehoshaphat said, Is there not 
 here a prophet of Jehovah, that we may 
 inquire of Jehovah by him ? And one of 
 the king of Israel's servants answered 
 and said, Here is Elisha the son of Shaphat 
 who poured water on the hands of Elijah. 
 
 12 And Jehoshaphat said, The word of 
 Jehovah is with him. So the king of Is 
 rael and Jehoshaphat and the king of 
 Edom Vent down to him. 
 
 13 And Elisha said to the king of Israel, 
 'What have I to do with thee ? * 6 go to 'the 
 prophets of thy father, and to the prophets

 said to him, Nay; for Jehovah bath called 
 these three kings together, to deliver them 
 into the hand ot Moab. 
 
 14 And Elisha said, m Jls Jehovah of hosts 
 liveth, before whom I stand, surely, were 
 it not that I regard the presence of Jeho- 
 shaphat the king of Judah, I would not 
 look toward thee, nor see thee. 
 
 15 But now bring me "a 'musician. And 
 it came to pass, when the 'musician played, 
 that "the hand of Jehovah came upon him. 
 
 16 And he said, Thus saith Jehovah, 
 p Make this valley full of ditches. 
 
 17 For thus saith Jehovah, Ye shall not 
 see wind, neither shall ye see 9 a shower ; 
 yet that valley shall be filled with water, 
 that ye may drink, both ye, and your cat- 
 tle, and your beasts. 
 
 18 And this is I0 a light thing in the sight 
 of Jehovah : he will deliver the Moabites 
 also into your hand. 
 
 19 And ye shall smiteevery fortified city, 
 and every choice city, and shall fell every 
 good tree, and stop all "fountains of water, 
 and "destroy every good piece of land 
 with stones. 
 
 20 And it came to pass in the morning, 
 when 'the I3 meal-offering was offered, that 
 behold, there came water by the way of 
 Edom, and the country was filled with 
 water. 
 
 21 *[[ And when all the Moabites heard 
 that the kings were come up to fight agakist 
 them, they tgathered all that were able to 
 tput on armour, and upward, and stood 
 M on the border. 
 
 22 And they rose up early in the morn- 
 ing, and the sun shone on the water, and 
 the Moabites saw the water on the other 
 side as red as blood : 
 
 23 And they said, This is blood : the 
 kings are surely ^destroyed, and they 
 have smitten one another : now therefore, 
 Moab, to the spoil. 
 
 24 And when they came to the camp of 
 Israel, the Israelites rose up and smote the 
 Moabites, so that they fled before them : 
 but || they went forward smiting the Mo- 
 abites, even in their country. 
 
 25 And they beat down the cities, and on 
 every good piece of land cast every man 
 his stone, and filled it ; and they stopped 
 all the "fountains of water, and felled all 
 the grtod trees : tonly in r Kirharaseth left 
 they the stones thereof; "yet the slingers 
 went about it, and smote it. 
 
 26 II And when the king of Moab saw 
 that the battle was too I8 severe for him, he 
 took with him seven hundred men that 
 drew swords, to break through ' 9 to the 
 king of Edom : but they could not. 
 
 27 Then 'he took his eldest son, who 
 should have reigned in his stead, and of- 
 fered him for a burnt-offering on the wall. 
 And there was great 20 wrath against Is- 
 rael: 'And they departed from him, and 
 returned to their own land. 
 
 CHAPTER IV. 
 
 1 Elisha multiplieth the widow's oil. 8 He giveth a 
 son to the good Shunammite. 18 He raiseth again 
 her dead son. 38 At Gilgal he healeth the deadly 
 pottage. 42 He satisfieth a hundred men with 
 twenty loaves. 
 
 NOW ' a certain woman of the wives 
 of "the sons of the prophets ' cried' to 
 
The Shunamnute's son 
 
 Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband 
 is dead ; and thou knowest that thy ser- 
 vant did fear Jehovah : and the creditor 
 is come 'to take to himself my two sons to 
 be bond-men. 
 
 2 And Elisha said to her, What shall I 
 do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the 
 house? And she said, Thy handmaid hath 
 not any thing in the house z except a 3 flask 
 of oil. 
 
 3 Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels 
 abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty 
 vessels; c ||borrow not a few. 
 
 4 And when thou 4 hast come in, thou shalt 
 shut the door on thee and on thy sons, and 
 shalt pour out into all those vessels, and 
 thou shalt set aside that which is full. 
 
 5 So she went from him, and shut the 
 door on herself and on her sons, who 
 brought the vessels to her ; and she poured 
 out. 
 
 6 And it came to pass, when the vessels 
 were full, that she said to her son, Bring 
 me yet a vessel. And he said to her, 
 There is not a vessel more. And the oil 
 stayed. 
 
 7 Then she came and told the man of 
 God. And he said, Go, sell the oil, and 
 pay thy ||debt, and live thou and thy child- 
 ren of the rest. 
 
 8 U And t 5 it came to pass on a day, 6 when 
 Elisha passed to d Shunem, where there was 
 a great woman, 'that she tconstrained him 
 to eat 8 food. And 9 it came to pass, that 
 as '"often as he passed by, he turned in 
 thither to eat "food. 
 
 9 And she said to her husband, Behold 
 now, I perceive that this is a holy man of 
 God, who passeth by us continually. 
 
 10 Let us make a little chamber, I pray 
 thee, on the wall ; and let us set for him 
 there a bed, and a table, and a stool, and 
 a candlestick : and it shall be, when he 
 cometh to us, that he shall turn in thither, 
 
 11 And it 12 came to pass on a day, that 
 he came thither, and he turned into the 
 chamber, and lay there. 
 
 12 And he said to Gehazi his servant, 
 Call this Shunammite. And when he had 
 called her, she stood before him. 
 
 13 And he said to him, Say now to her, 
 Behold, thou hast been careful for us with 
 all this care ; what is to be done for thee ? 
 wouldest thou be spoken for to the king, 
 or to the captain of the host ? And she 
 answered, I dwell among mine own people. 
 
 14 And he said, What then is to be done 
 for her ? And Gehazi answered, ^Truly 
 she hath no child, and her husband is old. 
 
 15 And he said, Call her. And when he 
 had called her, she stood in the door. 
 
 16 And he said, 'About this tseason, ac- 
 cording to the time of life, thou shalt em- 
 brace a son. And she said, Nay, my lord, 
 thou man of God, ^do not lie to thy handr 
 maid. 
 
 17 And the. woman conceived, and bore 
 a son at that season that Elisha had said 
 to her, according to the time of life. 
 
 18 Tf And when the child was grown, it 
 "came to pass on a day, that he went out 
 to his father to the reapers. 
 
 19 And he said to his father, My head, 
 my head. And he said to a lad, Carry 
 him to his mother. 
 
 20 And when he had taken him, and

 brought him to his mother, he sat on her 
 knees till noon, and then died. 
 
 21 And she went up, and laid him on the 
 bed of the man of God, and shut the door 
 on him, and went out. 
 
 22 And she called to her husband, and 
 said, Send me, I pray thee, one of the young 
 men, and one of the asses, that I may run 
 to the man of God, and come again. 
 
 23 And he said, Wherefore wilt thou go 
 to him to-day? it is neither new-moon, 
 nor sabbath. And she said, It shall be 
 twell. 
 
 24 Then she saddled an ass, and said to 
 her servant, Drive, and go forward ; tslack 
 not thy riding for me, except I bid thee. 
 
 25 So she went and came to the man of 
 God s to mount Carmel. And it came to 
 pass, when the man of God saw her afar 
 oft", that he said to Gehazi his servant, Be- 
 hold 13 that Shunammite : 
 
 26 Run now, I pray thee, to meet her, 
 and say to her, Is it well with thee ? Is it 
 well with thy husband ? Is it well with the 
 child ? And she answered, It is well. 
 
 27 And when she came to the man of 
 God to the 16 mountain, she caught thim by 
 "his feet : but Gehazi came near to thrust 
 her away. And the man of God said. Let 
 her alone ; for her soul is t Is grieved within 
 her : and Jehovah hath hidden it from me, 
 and hath not told me. 
 
 28 Then she said, Did I desire a son of 
 my lord ? ''did I not say, Do not deceive 
 me ? 
 
 29 Then he said to Gehazi, 'Gird up thy 
 loins, and take my staft* in thy hand, and 
 go thy way : if thou meet any man, * 19 sa- 
 mte him not ; and if any salute thee, an- 
 swer him not again : and 'lay my staff" on 
 the face of the child. 
 
 30 And the mother of the child said, 
 m Jis_ Jehovah liveth, and as 20 thou livest, 
 I will not leave thee. And he arose, and 
 followed her. 
 
 31 And Gehazi passed on before them, 
 and laid the staff on the face of the child ; 
 but there was neither voice, nor "atten- 
 tion. Wherefore he went again to meet 
 him, and told him, saying, The child 22 hath 
 "not awaked. 
 
 32 And when Elisha 23 had come into the 
 house, behold, the child was dead, and 
 laid upon his bed. 
 
 33 He "went in therefore, and shut the 
 door upon them 24 two, p and prayed to Je- 
 hovah. 
 
 34 And he went up, and lay on the child, 
 and put his mouth on his mouth, and his 
 eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his 
 hands : and 'he 23 prostrated himself on the 
 child ; and the flesh of the child 26 became 
 warm. 
 
 35 Then he returned, and walked in the 
 house tto and fro ; and went up, r and 
 27 prostrated himself on him : and 'the child 
 sneezed seven times, and the child opened 
 his eyes. 
 
 36 And he called Gehazi, and said, Call 
 this Shunammite. So he called her. And 
 when she 28 had come in to him, he said, 
 Take up thy son. 
 
 37 Then she went in, and fell at his feet, 
 and bowed herself to the ground, and 'took 
 up her son, and went out. 
 
 38 f And Elisha came again to "GilgaU 
 
 273 
 
Naaman cometh to Samaria, 
 
 And there was a lS9 famine in the land ; and 
 the sons of the prophets were ^sitting be- 
 fore him : and he said to his servant, Set 
 on the great pot, and 30 boil pottage for the 
 sons of the prophets. 
 
 39 And one went out into the field to 
 gather 31 greens, and found a wild vine, and 
 gathered thereof wild 32 cucumbers his lap 
 full, and came and 33 cut them up into the 
 pot of pottage : for they knew them not. 
 
 40 So they poured out for the men to eat. 
 And it came to pass, as they were eating 
 of the pottage, that they cried out, and 
 said, thou man of God, there is 'death 
 in the pot. And they could not eat 34 . 
 
 41 But he said, Then bring meal. And 
 °he cast it into the pot ; and he said, Pour 
 out for the people, that they may eat. And 
 there was no tharm in the pot. 
 
 42 1f And there came a man from 6 Baal- 
 shalisha, c and brought the man of God 
 bread of the first-fruits, twenty loaves of 
 barley, and ^early grain H^in his bag. 
 And he said, Give to the people, that they 
 may eat. 
 
 43 And his "attendant said, d What! 38 shall 
 I set this before a hundred men ? He said 
 again, Give the people, that they may eat: 
 for thus saith Jehovah, 'They shall eat, 
 and shall leave thereof. 
 
 44 So he set it before them, and they did 
 eat, •fand left thereof, according to the 
 word of Jehovah. 
 
 CHAPTER V. 
 
 1 Naaman, by the report of a captive maid, is sent 
 to Samaria to be cured of kis leprosy. 8 Elisha, 
 sending him to Jordan, cureth him. 15 He refus- 
 ing Naaman's gifts granteth him some of the 
 earth. 20 Gehazi, abusing his master's name 
 unto Naaman, is smitten with leprosy. 
 
 NOW "Naaman, captain of the host of 
 the king of Syria, was 'a great man 
 twith his master, and |] thonourable, be- 
 cause by him Jehovah had given ||deliver- 
 ance to Syria : he was also a mighty man 
 in valour, but he was a leper. 
 
 2 And the Syrians had gone out by 
 'troops, and had brought away captive out 
 of the land of Israel a little maid ; and 
 she twaited on Naaman's wife. 
 
 3 And she said to her mistress, 2 that 
 my lord were twith the prophet that is in 
 Samaria ! for he would trecover him 3 from 
 his leprosy. 
 
 4 And one went in, and told his lord, 
 saying, Thus and thus said the maid that 
 is of the land of Israel. 
 
 5 And the king of Syria said, 4 Come, go, 
 6 for I will send a letter to the king of Is- 
 rael. And he departed, and 'took twith 
 him ten talents of silver, and six thousand 
 ^pieces of gold, and ten changes of raiment. 
 
 6 And he brought the letter to the king 
 of Israel, saying, Now when this letter is 
 come to thee, behold, I have therewith sent 
 Naaman my servant to thee, that thou 
 mayest recover him 'from his leprosy. 
 
 7 And it came to pass, when the king of 
 Israel had read the letter, that he rent his 
 clothes, and said, Jim I d God, to kill and 
 to make alive, that this man doth send to 
 me to recover a man 8 from his leprosy ? 
 Wherefore consider, I pray you, and see 
 how he seeketh a quarrel against me. 
 
 8 If And it was so, when Elisha the man 
 of God had heard that the king of Israel

 had rent his clothes, that he sent to the 
 king, saying, Wherefore hast thou rent 
 thy clothes r let him come now to me, and 
 he shall know that there is a prophet in 
 Israel. 
 
 9 So Naaman came with his horses and 
 with his chariot, and stood at the door of 
 the house of Elisha. 
 
 10 And Elisha sent a messenger to him, 
 saying, Go and c9 bathe in Jordan seven 
 times, and thy flesh shall come again to 
 thee, and thou shalt be clean. 
 
 11 But Naaman was ,0 angry, and went 
 away, and said, Behold, t ||I thought, He 
 will surely come out to me, and stand, and 
 call on the name of Jehovah his God, and 
 t"wave his hand over the place, and re- 
 cover the leper. 
 
 12 Are not ||Abana and Pharpar, rivers 
 of Damascus, better than all the waters of 
 Israel ? may I not 12 bathe in them, and be 
 clean ? So he turned and went away in a 
 rage. 
 
 13 And his servants came near, and-spoke 
 to him, and said, My father, ^fthe prophet 
 had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest 
 thou not have done it ? how much rather 
 then, when he saith to thee, 13 Bathe, and 
 be clean ? 
 
 14 Then went he down, and "dipped him- 
 self seven times in Jordan, according to 
 the saying of the man of God : and 'his 
 flesh came again like to the flesh of a little 
 child, and 5 he was clean. 
 
 15 "[[ And he returned to the man of God, 
 he and all his company, and came and 
 stood before him : and he said, Behold, 
 now I know that there is h no God in all the 
 earth, but in Israel : now therefore, I pray 
 thee, take 'a 15 present from thy servant. 
 
 16 But he said, k Jls Jehovah liveth, before 
 whom I stand, 'I will receive none. And 
 he urged him to take it ; but he refused. 
 
 17 And Naaman said, Shall there not then, 
 I pray thee, be given to thy servant two 
 mules' burden of earth ? for thy servant 
 will henceforth offer neither burnt-offering 
 nor sacrifice to other gods, but to Jehovah. 
 
 18 I6 Respecting this thing Jehovah par- 
 don thy servant, that when my master go- 
 eth into the house of Rimmonto 1T bow down 
 there, and m he leaneth on my hand, and I 
 bow myself in the house of Rimmon : when 
 I bow down myself in the house of Rimmon, 
 Jehovah pardon thy servantin this thing. 
 
 19 And he said to him, Go in peace. So 
 he departed from him ta little "distance. 
 
 20 f But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha 
 the man of God, said, Behold, my master 
 hath spared Naaman this Syrian, in not re- 
 ceiving 19 from his hands that which he 
 brought: but as Jehovah liveth, I will run 
 after him, and take 20 something from him. 
 
 21 So Gehazi followed after Naaman. 
 And when Naaman saw him running after 
 him, he lighted down from the chariot to 
 meet him, and said, tls all well ? 
 
 22 And he said, All is well. My master 
 hath sent me, saying, Behold, even now 
 there 21 are come to me from mount Ephra- 
 im two young men of the sons of the pro- 
 phets : give 'for' them , I pray thee, a talent 
 of silver, and two changes of garments. 
 
 23 And Naaman said, Be content, take 
 two talents. And lie urged him, and bound 
 two talents of silver in two bags, with two

 changes of garments, and laid them upon 
 two of his servants ; and they bore them 
 before him. 
 
 24 And when he came to the || "height, he 
 took them from their hand, and ^laid them 
 up in the house : and he let the men go, 
 and they departed. 
 
 25 But he went in, and stood before his 
 master: and Elisha said to him, Whence 
 comest thou, Gehazi ? And he said, Thy 
 servant went tno ^where. 
 
 26 And he said to him, Went not my heart 
 with thee, when the man turned again from 
 his chariot to meet thee ? Is it a time to re- 
 ceive money, and to receive garments, and 
 oliveyards, and vineyards, and sheep, and 
 oxen, and man-servants, and maid-ser- 
 vants ?' 
 
 27 The leprosy therefore of Naaman "shall 
 cleave to thee and to thy seed for ever. And 
 he went out from his presence "a leper as 
 white as snow. 
 
 CHAPTER VI. 
 
 1 Elisha, giving leave to the young prophets to en- 
 large their dwellings, causeth iron to swim. 8 
 He discloseth the king of Syria's counsel. 13 The 
 army, which was sent to Dothan to apprehend 
 Elisha, is smitten with blindness. 19 Being 
 brought into Samaria, they are dismissed in peace. 
 24 The famine in Samaria causeth women to eat 
 their own children. 30 The king sendeth to slay 
 Elisha. 
 
 AND "the sons of the prophets said to 
 Elisha, Behold now, the place where 
 we dwell with thee is too narrow for us. 
 
 2 Let us go, we pray thee, to Jordan, and 
 take thence 'each man a beam, and let us 
 make Ourselves a place there, where we 
 may dwell. And he answered, Go ye. 
 
 3 And one said, Be content, I pray thee, 
 and go with thy servants. And he answer- 
 ed, I will go. 
 
 4 So he went with them. And when they 
 came to Jordan, they cut down 3 trees. 
 
 5 But as one was felling a beam, the taxe- 
 head fell into the water : and he cried, and 
 said, Alas, master ! .for it was borrowed. 
 
 6 And the man of God said, Where fell 
 it ? And he shewed him the place. And 
 'he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither ; 
 and the iron did swim. 
 
 7 Therefore said he, Take it up to thee. 
 And he put out his hand, and took it. 
 
 8 If Then the king of Syria warred against 
 Israel, and took counsel with his servants, 
 saying, In such and such a place shall be 
 my ||camp. 
 
 9 And the man of God sent to the king 
 of Israel, saying, Beware that thou pass 
 not such a place ; for thither the Syrians 
 are come down. 
 
 10 And the king of Israel sent to the 
 place which the man of God told him and 
 warned him of, and 4 was preserved there, 
 not once nor twice. 
 
 11 Therefore the heart of the king of Sy- 
 ria was 'disquieted by this thing; and he 
 called his servants, and said to them, Will 
 ye not shew me which of us is for the king 
 of Israel ? 
 
 12 And one of his servants said, tNone, 
 my lord, O king : but Elisha, the prophet 
 that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel 
 the words that thou speakest in thy bed- 
 chamber. 
 
 13 Tf And he said, Go, and 6 see where he 
 is, that I may send and 'take him. And it

 was told him, saying, Behold, he is in 'Do- 
 than. 
 
 14 Therefore sent he thither horses, and 
 chariots, and a tgreat host : and they came 
 by night, and encompassed the city 8 . 
 
 15 And when the ||servant of the man of 
 God "had risen early, and gone forth, be- 
 hold, a host compassed the city both with 
 horses and chariots. And his servant said 
 to him, Alas, my master ! I0 what shall we do ? 
 
 16 And he answered, Fear not : for d they 
 "who are with us are more than "those 
 who are with them. 
 
 17 And Elisha prayed, and said, Jeho- 
 vah, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he 
 may see. And Jehovah opened the eyes 
 of the young man ; and he saw : and be- 
 hold, the mountain was full of 'horses and 
 chariots of fire round about Elisha. 
 
 18 And when they came down to him, 
 Elisha prayed to Jehovah, and said, Smite 
 this people, I pray thee, with blindness. 
 And /he smote them with blindness, ac- 
 cording to the word of Elisha. 
 
 19 *[f And Elisha said to them, This is not 
 the way, neither is this the city : tfollow 
 me, ana I will bring you to the man whom 
 ye seek. 13 And he led them to Samaria. 
 
 20 And it came to pass, when they 14 had 
 come into Samaria, that Elisha said, Jeho- 
 vah, open the eyes of these men, that they 
 may see. And Jehovah opened their eyes, 
 and they saw ; and behold, they were in 
 the midst of Samaria. 
 
 21 And the king of Israel said to Elisha, 
 when he saw them, My father, shall I smite 
 them ? shall I smite them ? 
 
 22 And he answered, Thou shaltnot smite 
 them: wouldest thou smite those whom 
 thou hast taken captive with thy sword and 
 with thy bow ? ? set bread and water before 
 them, that they may eat and drink, and go 
 to their master. 
 
 23 And he prepared ' a' great 15 feast for 
 them : and when they had eaten and drank, 
 he sent them away, and they went to their 
 master. So *the ' 6 troops of Syria came no 
 more into the land of Israel. 
 
 24 If And it came to pass after this, that 
 Ben-hadad king of Syria gathered all his 
 host, and went up, and besieged Samaria. 
 
 25 And there was a great famine in Sama- 
 ria : and behold, they besieged it, until an 
 ass's head was sold for fourscore "pieces 
 of silver, and the fourth part of a cab of 
 dove's 18 ordure for five pieces of silver. 
 
 26 And as the king of Israel was passing 
 by on the wall, a woman "cried to him, 
 saying, Help, my lord, O king. 
 
 27 And he said, ||If Jehovah do not help 
 thee, whence shall I help thee ? out of the 
 ^threshing-floor, or out of the wine-press ? 
 
 28 And the king said to her, What aileth 
 thee? And she answered, This woman 
 said to me, Give thy son, that we may eat 
 him to-day, and we will eat my son to- 
 morrow. 
 
 29 So 'we boiled my son, and did eat him : 
 and I said to her on the tnext day, Give 
 thy son, that we may eat him : and she 
 hath hidden her son. 
 
 30 1 And it came to pass, when the king 
 heard the words of the woman, that he 
 *rent his clothes ; and he passed by on the 
 wall, and the people looked, and behold, 
 he had sackcloth within on his flesh. 
 
 275 
 
 
Elisha prophesieth sudden plenty. 
 
 31 Then he said, 'God do so and more 
 also to me, if the head of Elisha the son 
 of Shaphat shall stand on him this day. 
 
 32 But Elisha sat in his house, and m the 
 elders sat with him j and the king sent a 
 man from before him: but 21 before the 
 messenger came to him, he said to the 
 elders, "See ye how this son of "a mur- 
 derer hath sent to take away my head ? 
 look, when the messenger cometh, shut 
 the door, and hold him fast at the door : 
 is not the sound of his master's feet be- 
 hind him ? 
 
 33 And while he yet talked with them, 
 behold, the messenger came down to him : 
 and he said, Behold, this evil is M from Je- 
 hovah; p23 why should I wait for Jehovah 
 any longer ? 
 
 CHAPTER VII. 
 
 1 Elisha prophesieth incredible plenty in Samaria. 
 3 Four lepers, venturing on the host of the Sy- 
 rians, bring tidings of their flight. 12 The king, 
 finding by spies the news to be true, spoileth the 
 tents of the Syrians. 17 The lord, who would not 
 believe the prophecy of plenty, having the charge 
 of the gate, is trodden to death in the press. 
 
 THEN Elisha said, Hear ye the word 
 of Jehovah; Thus saith Jehovah, 
 "To-morrow about this time shall a mea- 
 sure of fine flour be sold for a shekel, and 
 two measures of barley for a shekel, in the 
 gate of Samaria. 
 
 2 'Then t'a lord on whose hand the king 
 leaned, answered the man of God, and 
 said, Behold, c if Jehovah 2 should make 
 windows in heaven, * this thing * might' be. 
 And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it 
 with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof. 
 
 3 % And there were four leprous men d at 
 the "entrance of the gate : and they said one 
 to another, Why sit we here until we die? 
 
 4 If we say, We will enter into the city, 
 then the famine is in the city, and we shall 
 die there: and if we sit still here, we 
 • shall' die also. Now therefore come, and 
 let us fall to the host of the Syrians : if they 
 save us alive, we shall live ; and if they 
 kill us, we shall but die. 
 
 5 And they rose up in the twilight to go 
 to the camp of the Syrians: and when 
 they 6 had come to the uttermost part of 
 the camp of Syria, behold, there was no 
 man there. 
 
 6 For the 6 Lord had made the host of the 
 Syrians *to hear a noise of chariots, and a 
 noise of horses, even the noise of a great 
 host: and they said one to another, Lo, 
 the king of Israel hath hired against us 
 'the kings of the Hittites, and the kings 
 of the Egyptians, to come upon us. 
 
 7 Wherefore they g arose and fled in the 
 twilight, and left their tents, and their 
 horses, and their asses, even the camp as 
 it was, and fled for their life. 
 
 8 And when these lepers came to the ut- 
 termost part of the camp, they went into 
 one tent, and did eat and drink, and car- 
 ried thence silver, and gold, and raiment, 
 and went and hid it: and came again, and 
 entered into another tent, and carried 
 thence also, and went and hid it. 
 
 9 Then they said one to another, We do 
 not well: this day is a day of good tidings, 
 and we hold our peace : if we tarry till 
 the morning-light, tsome 'punishment will 
 come upon us : now therefore come, that 
 we may go and tell the king's household.

 Elisha 's prophecy verified. 
 
 10 So they came and called to the porter 
 of the city : and they told them, saying, 
 We came to the camp of the Syrians, and 
 behold, there was no man there, neither 
 voice of man, but horses tied, and asses 
 tied, and the tents as they ivere. 
 
 11 And he called the porters ; and they 
 told it to the king's household within. 
 
 12 % And the king arose in the night, and 
 said to his servants, I will now shew you 
 what the Syrians have done to us. They 
 know that we s are hungry ; therefore are 
 they gone out of the camp, to hide them- 
 selves in the field, saying, When they 
 come out of the city, we shall 9 seize them 
 alive, and get into the city. 
 
 13 And one of his servants answered and 
 said, Let some take, I pray thee, five of 
 the horses that remain, which are left tin 
 the city, (behold, they are as all the mul- 
 titude 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. 
 
 14 They took therefore two chariot horses ; 
 and the king sent after the host of the Sy- 
 rians, saying, Go and see. 
 
 15 Ana they went after them to Jordan : 
 and lo, all the way was full of garments 
 and vessels, which the Syrians had cast 
 away in their haste. And the messengers 
 returned, and told the king. 
 
 16 And the people went out, and spoiled 
 the tents of the Syrians. So a measure 
 of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and 
 two measures of barley for a shekel, 'ac- 
 cording to the word of Jehovah. 
 
 17 If And the king appointed the lord on 
 whose hand he leaned to have the charge 
 of the gate : and the people '"trampled on 
 him in the gate, and he died, "as the man 
 of God had said, who spoke when the king 
 came down to him. 
 
 18 And it came to pass as the man of 
 God had spoken to the king, saving, 'Two 
 measures of barley for a shekel, and a 
 measure of fine flour for a shekel, shall be 
 to-morrow about this time in the gate of 
 Samaria : 
 
 19 And that lord answered the man of 
 God, and said, Now, behold, if Jehovah 
 should make windows in heaven, might 
 such a thing be. And he said, Behold, 
 thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt 
 not eat thereof. 
 
 20 And so it fell out to him : for the peo- 
 ple "trampled on him in the gate, and he 
 died. 
 
 CHAPTER VIII. 
 
 1 The Shunammite, having left her country seven 
 years, to avoid the forewarned famine, for Elisha's 
 miracle's sake hath her land restored by the king. 
 7 Hazael, being sent with a present by Ben-hadad 
 to Elisha at Damascus, after he had heard the 
 prophecy, killeth his master, and succeedeth him. 
 16 Jehoram's wicked reign in Judah. 20 Edom 
 and Libnah revolt. 23 Ahaziah succeedeth Jeho- 
 ram. 25 Ahaziah's wicked reign. 28 He visiteth 
 Jehoram wounded, at Jezreel. 
 
 ■TVTOW spoke Elisha to the woman, "whose 
 ■J- ' son he had restored to life, saying, 
 Arise, and go thou and thy household, and 
 sojourn wheresoever thou canst sojourn : 
 for Jehovah 'hath called for a famine ; and 
 it shall also come on the land seven years. 
 2 And the woman arose, and did Accord- 
 ing to the saying of the man of God : and 
 
The Shunammite's land restored. 
 
 she went with her household, and sojourned 
 in the land of the Philistines seven years. 
 S And it came to pass at the ' end of the' 
 seven years, 3 that the woman returned 
 4 from the land of the Philistines : and she 
 went forth to cry to the king for her house, 
 and for her 6 field. • 
 
 4 And the king 6 was talking with 'Gehazi 
 the servant of the man of God, saying, 
 tell me, I pray thee, all the great things 
 which Elisha hath done. 
 
 5 And it came to pass, as he was telling 
 the king how he had Restored a dead 7 per- 
 son to life, that behold, the woman, whose 
 son he had restored to 'life, cried to the 
 king for her house and for her 'field. And 
 Gehazi said, My lord, king, this is the 
 woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha 
 restored to life. 
 
 6 And when the king asked the woman, 
 she told him. So the king appointed 9 for 
 her a certain ||officer, saying, Restore all 
 that was hers, and all the fruits of the 
 field since the day that she left the land, 
 even until now. > 
 
 7 If And Elisha came to Damascus : and 
 Ben-hadad the king of Syria was sick; 
 and it was told him, saying, The man of 
 God 10 hath come hither. 
 
 8 And the king said to 'Hazael, -Take 
 a present in thy hand, go, and meet the 
 man of God, and ^inquire of Jehovah by 
 him, saying, Shall I recover "from this 
 disease r 
 
 9 So Hazael went to meet him, and took 
 a present twith him, even of every good 
 thing of Damascus, forty camels' burden, 
 and came and stood before him, and said, 
 Thy son Ben-hadad king of Syria hath 
 sent me to thee, saying, Shall I recover 
 "from this disease ? 
 
 10 And Elisha said to him, Go, say to 
 him, Thou mayest certainly recover: l3 yet, 
 Jehovah hath showed me, that *he shall 
 surely die. 
 
 11 And he settled his countenance tstead- 
 fastly, until he was ashamed : and the man 
 of God "wept. 
 
 12 And Hazael said, Why weepeth my 
 lord ? And he answered, Because I know 
 *the evil that thou wilt do to the children 
 of Israel : their l4 fortresses wilt thou set on 
 fire, and their young men wilt thou slay 
 with the sword, and 'wilt dash their child- 
 ren ' in pieces,' and rip up their women 
 with child. 
 
 13 And Hazael said, But what ! ""is thy 
 servant a dog, that he should do this great 
 thing? And Elisha answered, "Jehovah 
 hath shewed me that thou shalt be king over 
 Syria. 
 
 14 So he departed from Elisha, and came 
 to his master; who said to him, What said 
 Elisha to thee ? And he answered, He told 
 me that thou shouldest surely recover. 
 
 15 And it came to pass on the morrow, 
 that he took a thick cloth, and dipped it in 
 water, and spread it on his face, so that he 
 died : and Hazael reigned in his stead. 
 
 16 If And in the fifth year of Joram the 
 son of Ahab king of Israel, Jehoshaphat be- 
 ing then king of Judah, "Jehoram the son of 
 Jehoshaphat Tking of Judah tbegan to reign 
 
 17 'Thirty and two years old was he when 
 he began to reign; and he reigned eight 
 years in Jerusalem.

 18 And he walked in the way of the kings 
 of Israel, as did the house of Ahab: for 
 'the daughter of Ahab was his wife : and 
 he did evil in the sight of Jehovah. 
 
 19 Yet Jehovah would not destroy Judah, 
 for David his servant's sake, r as he ' had' 
 promised him to give him always a 15 lamp, 
 and to his children. 
 
 20 If In his days *Edom revolted from un- 
 der the hand of Judah, 'and made a king 
 over themselves. 
 
 21 So Joram went over to Zair, and all 
 the chariots with him: and he rose by 
 night, and smote the Edomites who encom- 
 passed him, 16 and the captains of the cha- 
 riots : and the people fled into their tents. 
 
 22 ||Yet Edom revolted from under the 
 hand of Judah to this day. "Then Libnah 
 revolted at the same time. 
 
 23 And the rest of the acts of Joram, and 
 all that he did, are they not written in the 
 book of the ChroniclesDf the kings of Judah ? 
 
 24 And Joram "lay with his fathers, and 
 was buried with his fathers in the city of 
 David ; and x || Ahaziah his son reigned in 
 his stead. 
 
 25 If In the twelfth year of Joram the son 
 of Ahab king of Israel did Ahaziah the son 
 of Jehoram king of Judah begin to reign. 
 
 26 s Two and twenty years old was Aha- 
 ziah when he began to reign ; and he reign- 
 ed one yearin Jerusalem. And his mother's 
 name was Athaliah, the Slaughter of Omri 
 king of Israel. 
 
 27 *And he walked in the way of the house 
 of Ahab, and did evil in the sight of Jeho- 
 vah, as did the house of Ahab : for he was 
 the son-in-law of the house of Ahab. 
 
 28 If And he went "with Joram the son 
 of Ahab to the war against Hazael king of 
 Syria in Ramoth-gilead ; and the Syrians 
 wounded Joram. 
 
 29 And 6 king Joram went back to be heal- 
 ed in Jezreel of the wounds f which the Sy- 
 rians had given him at ||Ramah, when he 
 fought against Hazael king of Syria. 'And 
 Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah 
 went down to see Joram the son of Ahab 
 in Jezreel, because he was 18 wounded. 
 
 CHAPTER IX. 
 
 1 Elisha sendeth a young prophet with instructions 
 to anoint Jehu at Ramoth-gilead. 4 The prophet 
 having done his message fieeth. 11 Jehu, being 
 made king by the soldiers, killeth Joram in the field 
 of Naboth. 27 Ahaziah is slain at Gur, and buried 
 at Jerusalem. 30 Proud Jezebel is thrown down 
 out of a window, and eaten by dogs. 
 
 AND Elisha the prophet called one of 
 "the children 01 the prophets, and said 
 to him, 'Gird up thy loins, and take this 
 'bottle of oil in thy hand, 'and go to Ra- 
 moth-gilead : 
 
 2 And when thou comest thither, look out 
 there Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat, the son 
 of Nimshi, and go in, and make him arise 
 up from among ''his brethren, and carry 
 him to an tinner chamber ; 
 
 3 Then 'take the 2 bottle of oil, and pour 
 it on his head, and say, Thus saith Jeho- 
 vah, I have anointed thee king over Israel. 
 Then open the door, and flee, and tarry not. 
 
 4 If So the young man, even the young man 
 the prophet, went to Ramoth-gilead. 
 
 5 And when he came, behold, the captains 
 of the host were sitting ; and he said, I 
 have s a message for thee, O captain. And 
 
 277 
 
Jehu is proclaimed king. 
 
 Jehu said, To which of us all ? And he 
 said, To thee, captain. 
 
 6 And he arose, and went into the house; 
 and he poured the oil on his head, and said 
 to him, / Thus saith Jehovah God of Isra- 
 el, I have anointed thee king over the peo- 
 ple of Jehovah, even over Israel. 
 
 7 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 Jehovah, s at the hand 
 of Jezebel. 
 
 8 For the whole house of Ahab shall pe- 
 rish : and h I will cut off from Ahab "the 
 males, even the "bond and the free in Is- 
 rael : 
 
 9 And I will make the house of Ahab like 
 the house of 'Jeroboam the son of Nebat, 
 and like the house of m Baasha the son of 
 Ahijah : 
 
 10 "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. 
 
 11 If Then Jehu came forth to the servants 
 of his lord : and one said to him, Is all 
 well? wherefore came "this 5 madman to 
 thee? And' he said to them, Ye know the 
 man, and his discourse. 
 
 12 And they said, It is false ; tell us now. 
 And he said, Thus and thus spoke he to 
 me, saying, Thus saith Jehovah, I have 
 anointed thee king over Israel. 
 
 13 Then they hasted, and p took 7 each man 
 his garment, and put it under him 8 upon 
 the steps themselves, and blew with trum- 
 pets, saying, Jehu 9 reigneth. 
 
 14 So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat, the 
 son of Nimshi, conspired against Joram. 
 (Now Joram '"was guarding Ramoth-gi- 
 lead, he and all Israel, because of Hazael 
 king of Syria. 
 
 15 But 'king tJoram "had returned to be 
 healed in Jezreel 12 from the wounds which 
 the Syrians thad given him, when he fought 
 with Hazael king of Syria.) And Jehu 
 said, If it be your minds, then tlet none go 
 forth nor escape out of the city to go to tell 
 it in Jezreel. 
 
 16 So Jehu rode in a chariot, and went to 
 Jezreel ; for Joram lay there. *And Aha- 
 ziah king of Judah 13 had come down to see 
 Joram. 
 
 17 And there stood a watchman on the 
 tower in Jezreel, and he espied the "throng 
 of Jehu as he came, and said, I see a 15 throng. 
 And Joram said, Take a horseman and 
 send to meet them, and let him say, Is it 
 peace ? 
 
 18 So there went one on horseback to 
 meet him, and said, Thus saith the king, 
 Is it peace ? And Jehu said, What hast 
 thou to do with peace ? turn I6 behind me 
 And the watchman told, saying, The mes- 
 senger came to them, but he cometh not 
 again. 
 
 19 Then he sent out a second on horse- 
 back, who came to them, and said, Thus 
 saith the king, Is it peace ? And Jehu an- 
 swered, What hast thou to do with peace ? 
 turn " behind me. 
 
 20 And the watchman told, saying, He 
 came even to them, 18 but cometh not again : 
 and the || driving is like the driving of Jehu 
 the son of Nimshi ; for he driveth tfuriously. 
 
 21 And Joram said, tMake ready. And 
 his chariot was made ready. And 'Joram

 he answered, What peace, so long as the 
 "lewdness of thy mother Jezebel and her 
 witchcraft 20 is so great ? 
 
 23 And Joram turned his hands, and fled, 
 and said to Ahaziah, There is treachery, 
 
 Ahaziah. 
 
 24 And Jehu tdrew a bow 21 , and smote 
 Jehoram between his arms, and the arrow 
 went ^forth from his heart, and he tsunk 
 down in his chariot. 
 
 25 Then said Jehu to Bidkar his captain, 
 Take up, and cast him in the portion of the 
 field of Naboth the Jezreelite: for re- 
 member how that, when I and thou rode 
 together after Ahab his father, 'Jehovah 
 laid this burden on him ; 
 
 26 Surely I have seen yesterday the tblood 
 of Naboth, and the blood of his sons, saith 
 the Lord ; and "I will requite thee in this 
 "portion, saith Jehovah. Now therefore 
 take and cast him into the ^portion of 
 ground, according to the word of Jehovah. 
 
 27 If But when Ahaziah the king of Judah 
 saw this, he fled by the way of the garden- 
 house. And Jehu followed after him, and 
 said, Smite him also in the chariot. And 
 they did so at the going up to Gur, which 
 is by Ibleam. And he fled to *Megiddo, 
 and died there. 
 
 28 And his servants carried him in a cha- 
 riot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his 
 sepulchre with his fathers in the city of 
 David. 
 
 29 And in the eleventh year of Joram the 
 son of Ahab began Ahaziah to reign over 
 Judah, 
 
 30 If And when Jehu 25 had come to Jezreel, 
 Jezebel heard of it; ^and she tpainted her 
 26 eyelashes, and 27 adorned her head, and 
 looked out at a window. 
 
 31 And as Jehu entered in at the gate, she 
 said, z Had Zimri peace, who slew his 
 master ? 
 
 32 And he lifted up his face to the win- 
 dow, and said, Who is on my side ? who ? 
 And there looked out to him two or three 
 lleunuchs. 
 
 33 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. 
 
 34 And when he was come in, he did eat 
 and drink, and said, Go, see now this curs- 
 ed woman, and bury her: for "she is a 
 king's daughter. 
 
 35 And they went to bury her : but they 
 found no more of her than the skull, and 
 the feet, and the palms of her hands. 
 
 36 Wherefore they came again, and told 
 him. And he said, This is the word of 
 Jehovah, which he spoke tby his servant 
 Elijah the Tishbite, saying, 'In the portion 
 of Jezreel shall dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel : 
 
 37 And the carcass of Jezebel shall be 
 c28 like ordure on the face of the field in the 
 portion of Jezreel ; so that they shall not 
 say, This is Jezebel. 
 
 CHAPTER X. 
 
 1 Jehu, by his letters, causeth seventy of Ahab's 
 children to be beheaded. 8 He excuseth the fact by 
 
Jehu slayeth Ahaziali's brethren. 
 
 the prophecy of Elijah. 12 At the shearing-house 
 he slayeth two and forty of Ahaziah's brethren. 
 15 He taketh Jehonadab into his company. 18 By 
 subtil ty he destroyeth all the worshippers of Baal. 
 29 Jehu followeth Jeroboam's sins. 32 Hazael op- 
 pressed Israel. 34 Jehoahaz succeedeth Jehu. 
 
 AND Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. 
 And Jehu wrote letters, and sent to 
 Samaria, to the rulers of Jezreel, to the 
 elders, and to tthose who brought up Ahab's 
 children, saying, 
 
 2 Now as soon as this letter cometh to 
 you, seeing your master's sons are with 
 you, and there are with you chariots and 
 horses, a 'fortified city also, and armour; 
 
 3 2 Look out even the best and most suit- 
 able of your master's sons, and set him 
 on his father's throne, and fight for your 
 master's house. 
 
 4 But they were exceedingly afraid, and 
 said, Behold, two kings stood not before 
 him : how then shall we stand ? 
 
 5 And he that was over the house, and 
 he that was over the city, the elders also, 
 and the bringers up of the children, sent to 
 Jehu, saying, We are thy servants, and 
 will do all that thou shalt bid us ; we will 
 not make any king : do thou that which is 
 good in 3 thy sight. 
 
 6 Then he wrote a letter the second time 
 to them, saying, If ye be tmine, and if ye 
 will hearken to my voice, take ye the heads 
 of the men your master's sons, and come 
 to me to Jezreel by this time to-morrow. 
 (Now the king's sons being seventy per- 
 sons, were with the great men of the city, 
 who brought them up.) 
 
 7 And it came to pass, when the letter 
 came to them, that they took the king's 
 sons, and "slew seventy persons, and put 
 their heads in baskets, and sent him them 
 to Jezreel. 
 
 8 If And there came a messenger, and 
 told him, saying, They have brought the 
 heads of the king's sons. And he said, Lay 
 ye them in two heaps at the 4 entrance of 
 the gate until the morning. 
 
 9 And it came to "pass in the morning, 
 that he went out, and stood, and said to 
 all the people, Ye B are innocent: behold, 
 6 I conspired against my master, and slew 
 him : but who slew all these ? 
 
 10 Know now that there shall 'fall to the 
 earth nothing of the word of Jehovah, 
 which Jehovah spoke 6 against the house 
 of Ahab: for Jehovah hath done that which 
 he spoke d tby his servant Elijah. 
 
 11 So Jehu slew all that remained of the 
 house of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his great 
 men, and his 7 acquaintance, and his priests, 
 until he left him none remaining. 
 
 12 If And he arose and departed, and 
 came to Samaria. And as he was at the 
 tshearing-house in the way, 
 
 13 'Jehu tmet with the brethren of Aha 
 ziah king of Judah, and said, Who are ye? 
 And they answered, We are the brethren 
 of Ahaziah ; and we go down tto salute 
 the children of the king and the children 
 of the queen. 
 
 14 And he said, 8 Seize them alive. And 
 they 9 seized them alive, and slew them at 
 the pit of the shearing-house, even two and 
 forty men ; neither left he any of them. 
 
 15 If And when he 10 had departed thence, 
 he "found 'Jehonadab the son of ^Rechab

 coming to meet him : and he tsaluted him, 
 and said to him, Is thy heart 12 honest, as 
 my heart is with thy heart ? And Jehona- 
 dab answered, It is. If it ,3 is, *give me thy 
 hand. And he gave Aim his hand; and he 
 took him up to him into the chariot. 
 
 16 And he said, Come with me, and see 
 my 'zeal for Jehovah. So they made him 
 ride in his chariot. 
 
 17 And when he came to Samaria, *he 
 slew all that remained to Ahab in Sama- 
 ria, till he had destroyed him, according to 
 the saying of Jehovah, 'which he spoke to 
 Elijah. 
 
 18 ^f And Jehu gathered all the people to- 
 gether, and said to them, *"Ahab served 
 Baal a little ; but Jehu shall serve him 
 much. 
 
 19 Now therefore call to me all the "pro- 
 phets of Baal, all his servants, and all his 
 priests ; let none be wanting : for I have a 
 great sacrifice "for Baal : whoever shall 
 be wanting, he shall not live. But Jehu 
 did it "craftily, to the intent that he might 
 destroy the worshippers of Baal. 
 
 20 And Jehu said, tProclaim a solemn 
 assembly for Baal. And they proclaimed it. 
 
 21 And Jehu sent through all Israel : and 
 all the worshippers of Baal came, so that 
 there was not a man left that came not. 
 And they came into the "house of Baal ; 
 and the house of Baal was ||full from one 
 end to 16 the other. 
 
 22 And he said to him that was over the 
 "wardrobe, Bring forth 18 garments for all 
 the worshippers of Baal. And he brought 
 them forth "garments. 
 
 23 And Jehu went, and Jehonadab the 
 son of Rechab, into the house of Baal, and 
 said to the worshippers of Baal, Search, 
 and look that there be here with you none 
 of the servants of Jehovah, but the wor- 
 shippers of Baal only. 
 
 24 And when they went in to offer sacri- 
 fices and burnt-offerings, Jehu 29 placed 
 fourscore men without, and said, Tjf any of 
 the men whom I have brought into your 
 hands escape, he that letteth him go, ''his 
 life shall be for the life of him. 
 
 25 And it came to pass, as soon as he had 
 made an end of offering the burnt-offering, 
 that Jehu said to the guard and to the cap- 
 tains, Go in, and slay them; let none come 
 forth. And they smote them with tthe 
 edge of the sword ; and the guard and the 
 captains cast them out, and went to the 
 city of the house of Baal. 
 
 26 And they brought forth the ' 21 statues 
 out of the house of Baal, and burned them. 
 
 27 And they broke down the image of 
 Baal, and broke down the house of Baal, 
 r and made it a draught-house to this day. 
 
 28 Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel. 
 
 29 If ^Yet, from the sins of Jeroboam the 
 son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, Jehu 
 departed not from after them, ^namely, 
 'the golden calves that were in Beth-el, 
 and that were in Dan. 
 
 30 And Jehovah said to Jehu, Because 
 thou hast done well in executing that which 
 is right in "my sight, and hast done to the 
 house of Ahab according to all that was in 
 my heart, 'thy children of the fourth gene- 
 ration shall sit on the throne of Israel. 
 
 31 But Jehu ttook no heed to walk in the 
 law of Jehovah God of Israel with all his 
 
 279 
 
Joash, saved from Athaliah'' s 
 
 heart : for he departed not from "the sins 
 of Jeroboam, who made Israel to sin. 
 
 32 If In those days Jehovah began tto cut 
 Israel short : and *Hazael smote them in 
 all the 25 borders of Israel ; 
 
 S3 From Jordan teastward, all the land 
 of Gilead, the Gadites, and the Reuben- 
 ites, and the Manassites, from Aroer, which 
 is by the river Arnon, ||even y Gilead and 
 Bashan. 
 
 34 Now the rest of the acts of Jehu, and 
 all that he did, and all his might, are they 
 not written in the book of the Chronicles 
 of the kings of Israel ? 
 
 35 And Jehu 26 lay with his fathers: and 
 they buried him in Samaria. And Jehoahaz 
 his son reigned in his stead. 
 
 36 And tthe time that Jehu reigned over 
 Israel in Samaria was twenty and eight 
 years. 
 
 CHAPTER XI. 
 
 1 Jehoash, being saved by Jehosheba his aunt from 
 Athaliah's massacre of the seed royal, is hid six 
 years in the house of God. 4 Jehoiada, giving 
 order to the captains, in the seventh year anointeth 
 him king. 13 Athaliah is slain. 17 Jehoiada re- 
 storeth the worship of God. 
 
 AND when "Athaliah 'the mother of 
 Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, 
 she arose and destroyed all the 'royal fa- 
 mily. 
 
 2 But HJehosheba, the daughter of king 
 Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took |] Joash the 
 son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among 
 the king's sons which were slain ; and they 
 hid him, even him and his nurse, in the 
 bed-chamber, from Athaliah, so that he 
 was not slain. 
 
 3 And he was with her hid in the house 
 of Jehovah six years. And Athaliah did 
 reign over the land. 
 
 •4 If And c the seventh year Jehoiada sent 
 and 2 brought the rulers over hundreds, 
 with the 'executioners and the guard, and 
 brought them to him into the house of Je- 
 hovah, and made a covenant with them, 
 and took an oath of them in the house of 
 Jehovah, and shewed them the king's son. 
 
 5 And he commanded them, saying, This 
 is the thing that ye shall do : A third part 
 of you who enter in d on the sabbath shall 
 even be keepers of the watch of the king's 
 house ; 
 
 6 And a third part shall be at the gate of 
 Sur ; and a third part at the gate behind 
 the guard : so shall ye keep the watch of 
 the house, ||that it be not broken down. 
 
 7 And two || tparts of all you that go forth 
 on the sabbath, even they shall keep the 
 watch of the house of Jehovah about the 
 king. 
 
 8 And ye shall encompass the king, 4 each 
 man with his weapons in his hand : and he 
 that cometh within the 6 ranks, let him be 
 slain. And be ye with the king as he goeth 
 out and as he cometh in. 
 
 9 'And the captains over the hundreds 
 did according to all 6 which Jehoiada the 
 priest commanded: and they took 7 each 
 man his men that were to come in on the 
 sabbath, with those that should go out on 
 the sabbath, and came to Jehoiadathe priest. 
 
 10 And to the captains over hundreds did 
 the priest give king David's spears and 
 shields, that were in the 8 house of Jehovah. 
 
 11 And the guard stood, 9 each man with

 and put the crown upon him, and gave him 
 the testimony ; and they made him king, 
 and anointed him ; and they clapped their 
 hands, and said, t / 13 Long life to the king. 
 
 13 If *And when Athaliah heard the noise 
 of the guard and of the people, she came 
 to the people in the M house of Jehovah. 
 
 14 And when she looked, behold, the king 
 stood by ''a pillar, "according to custom, 
 and the princes and the trumpeters by the 
 king, and all the people of the land rejoic- 
 ed, and blew with trumpets. And Atha- 
 liah rent her clothes, and cried, "Conspi- 
 racy, conspiracy ! 
 
 15 But Jehoiada the priest commanded 
 the captains of the hundreds, the officers 
 of the host, and said to them, Have her 
 forth without the 17 ranks : and kill him 
 that followeth her with the sword. For the 
 priest had said, Let her not be slain in the 
 house of Jehovah. 
 
 16 And they laid hands on her ; and she 
 went by the way by l8 which the horses 
 came into the king's house : and there she 
 was slain. 
 
 17 If 'And Jehoiada made a covenant be- 
 tween Jehovah and the king and the peo- 
 ple, that they should be Jehovah's people ; 
 'between the king also and the people. 
 
 18 And all the people of the land went 
 into the 'house of Baal, and broke it down ; 
 his altars and his images "broke they in 
 pieces thoroughly, and slew Mattan the 
 priest of Baal before the altars. And "the 
 priest appointed tofficers over the house 
 of Jehovah. 
 
 19 And he took the rulers over hundreds, 
 and the "executioners, and the guard, and 
 all the people of the land ; and they brought 
 down the king from the house of Jehovah, 
 and came by the way of the gate of the 
 guard to the king's house. And he sat on 
 the throne of the kings. 
 
 20 And all the people of the land rejoic- 
 ed, and the city was 20 quiet : 21 for they had 
 slain Athaliah with the sword beside the 
 king's house. 
 
 21 "Seven years old was Jehoash when 
 he began to reign. 
 
 CHAPTER XII. 
 
 1 Jehoash reigneth well all the days of Jehoiada. 4 
 He giveth order for the repair of the temple. 17 
 Hazael is diverted from Jerusalem by a present of 
 the hallowed treasures. 19 Jehoash being slain by 
 his servants, Amaziah succccdeth him. 
 
 IN the seventh year of Jehu, °Jehoash 
 began to reign ; and forty years reigned 
 he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name 
 was Zibiah of Beer-sheba. 
 
 2 And Jehoash did that which was right 
 in the sight of Jehovah all his days where- 
 in Jehoiada the priest instructed him. 
 
 3 But J the high places were not taken 
 away : the people still sacrificed and burnt 
 incense in the high places. 
 
 4 t And Jehoash said to the priests, 'All 
 the money of the Htdedicated things that 
 is brought into the house of Jehovah, even 
 rf the money of every one that passeth the 
 account, tthe money that every man is set 
 at, and all the money that fcometh into 
 
TA« temple is repaired. 
 
 any man's heart to bring into the house of 
 Jehovah, 
 
 5 Let the priests take it to themselves, 
 'each man 'from bis acquaintance: and let 
 them repair tne breaches of the house, 
 wheresoever any breach shall be found. 
 
 6 But it 3 carae to pass, that tin the three 
 and twentieth year of king Jehoash ^the 
 priest had not repaired the breaches of the 
 house. 
 
 7 *Then king Jehoash called for Jehoiada 
 the priest, and the otlier priests, and said 
 to them, Why repair ye not the breaches 
 of the house r now therefore receive no 
 more money 'from your acquaintance, but 
 deliver it for the breaches of the house. 
 
 8 And the priests consented to receive no 
 snore money 6 from the people, neither to 
 repair the breaches of the house. 
 
 9 But Jehoiada the priest took 4 a chest, 
 and bored a hole in the lid of it, and set it 
 beside the altar, on the right side as one 
 cometh into the house of Jehovah : and 
 the priests that kept the tdoor put therein 
 all the money that was brought into the 
 house of Jehovah. 
 
 10 And it 6 came to pass, when they saw 
 that there was much money in the chest, 
 that the king's ||scribe and the high priest 
 •came up, and they tput up in bags, and 
 'counted the money that was found in the 
 house of Jehovah. 
 
 1 1 And they gave the money, being 8 weigh- 
 «d, into the hands of them that did the 
 work, that had the oversight of the house 
 of Jehovah: and they t 9 paid to the car- 
 penters and builders, that wrought on tire 
 house of Jehovah, 
 
 12 And to masons, and hewers of stone, 
 and to buy timber and hewed stone to re- 
 pair the breaches of the house of Jehovah, 
 and for all that twas laid out for the house 
 to repair it. 
 
 13 l0 Yet, 'there were not made for the 
 house of Jehovah bowls of silver, snuffers, 
 basons, trumpets, any vessels of gold, or 
 vessels of silver, of the money that was 
 brought into the house of Jehovah : 
 
 14 But they gave that to the workmen, and 
 repaired therewith the house of Jehovah. 
 
 15 Moreover, they reckoned not with the 
 men, into whose hand they delivered the 
 money to be bestowed on workmen: for 
 they dealt faithfully. 
 
 16 'The trespass-money and sin-money 
 was not brought into the house of Jehovah : 
 ™it was the priests'. 
 
 17 If Then "Hazael the king of Syria 
 went up, and fought against Gath, and 
 took it : and ^Hazael set his face to go up 
 to Jerusalem. 
 
 18 And Jehoash king of Judah ''took all 
 the hallowed things that Jehoshaphat, and 
 Jehoram, and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings 
 of Judah, had dedicated, and his own hal- 
 lowed things, and all the gold that was 
 found in the treasures of the house of Je- 
 hovah, and in the king's house, and sent 
 it to Hazael king of Syria : and he twent 
 away from Jerusalem. 
 
 19 If And the rest of the acts of Joash, and 
 all that he did, are they not vyritten in the 
 book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah? 
 
 20 And 'his servants arose, and made a 
 conspiracy, and slew Joash in lithe house 
 of Millo, which goeth'down to Silla.

 21 For r Jozachar the son of Shimeath, 
 and Jehozabad the son of ||Shomer, his 
 servants, smote him, and he died ; and 
 they buried him with his fathers in the 
 city of David: and 'Amaziah his son 
 reigned in his stead. 
 
 CHAPTER XIII. 
 
 I Jehoahaz's tvicked reign. 3 Jehoahaz, oppressed 
 by Hazael, is relieved by prayer. 8 Joash succeed- 
 eth him. 10 His wicked reign. 12 Jeroboam suc- 
 ■ceedeth him. 14 Elisha dying prophesieth to Joash 
 three victories over the Syria7is. 20 The Moabites 
 invading the land, Elisha's bones raise up a dead 
 man. 22 Hazael dying, Joash getteth three vic- 
 tories over Benhadad. 
 
 IN tthe three and twentieth year of Joash 
 the son of Ahaziah king of Judah, Jeho- 
 ahaz the son of Jehu began to reign over 
 Israel in Samaria, and reigned seventeen 
 years. 
 
 2 And he did i evil in the sight of Jeho- 
 vah, and tfollowed the sins of Jeroboam 
 the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin ; 
 he departed not 2 from them. 
 
 3 If And a the anger of Jehovah was kin- 
 dled against Israel, and he delivered them 
 into the hand of hazael king of Syria, 
 and into the hand of Ben-hadad the son of 
 Hazael, Continually. 
 
 4 And Jehoahaz 'besought Jehovah, and 
 Jehovah hearkened to him : for rf he saw 
 the oppression of Israel, because the king 
 of Syria oppressed them. 
 
 5 ('And Jehovah gave Israel a 'deliverer, 
 so that they went out from under the hand 
 of the Syrians : and the children of Israel 
 dwelt in their tents, tas 'formerly. 
 
 6 Nevertheless they departed not from 
 the sins of the house of Jeroboam, who 
 made Israel sin, but twalked therein : •'and 
 5 the grove tremained also in Samaria. 
 
 7 Neither did he leave of the people to 
 Jehoahaz but fifty horsemen, and ten cha- 
 riots, and ten thousand footmen; for the 
 king of Syria had destroyed them, e and 
 had made them like the dust by threshing. 
 
 8 If Now the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, 
 and all that he did, and his might, are they 
 not v/ritten in the book of the Chronicles 
 of the kings of Israel ? 
 
 9 And Jehoahaz 7 lay with his fathers; and 
 they buried him in Samaria : and ||Joash 
 his son reigned in his stead.* 
 
 10 ^f In the thirty and seventh year of 
 Joash king of Judah began UJehoash the 
 son of Jehoahaz to reign over Israel in Sa- 
 maria, and reigned sixteen years. 
 
 11 And he did e evil in the sight of Jeho- 
 vah ; he departed not from all the sins of 
 Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Is- 
 rael sin ; but he walked therein. 
 
 12 *And the rest of the acts of Joash, and 
 'all that he did, and *his might wherewith 
 he fought against Amaziah king of Judah, 
 are they not written in the book of the 
 Chronicles of the kings of Israel ? 
 
 13 And Joash 9 lay with his fathers ; and 
 Jeroboam sat on his throne ; and Joash was 
 buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel. 
 
 14 If Now Elisha was fallen sick of his 
 sickness of which he died. And Joash the 
 king of Israel came down to him, and 
 wept over his face, and said, O my father, 
 my father ! 'the chariot of Israel, and the 
 horsemen thereof! 
 
 15 And Elisha said to him, Take bow and 
 arrows. And he took to hi m bo w and arrows. 
 
 281 
 
Elivha's sickness and death. 
 
 16 And he said to the king of Israel, 
 tPut thy hand on the bow. And he put 
 his hand on it : and Elisha put his hands 
 on the king's hands. 
 
 17 And he said, Open the window east- 
 ward. And he opened it. Then Elisha 
 said, Shoot. And he shot. And he said, 
 The arrow of Jehovah's deliverance, and 
 the arrow of deliverance from Syria : for 
 thou shalt smite the Syrians in "Aphek, 
 till thou ' shalt' have consumed them. 
 
 18 And he said, Take the arrows. And 
 he took them. And he said to the king of 
 Israel, Smite upon the ground. And he 
 smote thrice, and '"stopped. 
 
 19 And the man of God was "angry with 
 him, and said, Thou shouldest have smit- 
 ten five or six times; then hadst thou smit- 
 ten Syria till thou hadst consumed it: 
 •whereas now thou shalt smite Syria but 
 thrice. 
 
 20 If And Elisha died, and they buried 
 him. And the bands of the Moabites in- 
 vaded the land at the coming in of the year. 
 
 21 And it came to pass, as they were 
 burying a man, that behold, they spied a 
 band of men ; and they cast the man into 
 the sepulchre of Elisha : and when the man 
 twas let down, and touched the bones of 
 Elisha, he revived, and stood w on his feet. 
 
 22 If But 'Hazael king of Syria oppressed 
 Israel all the days of Jehoahaz. 
 
 23 r And Jehovah I3 pitied them, and had 
 compassion on them, and ' "regarded them, 
 'because of his covenant with Abraham, 
 Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy 
 them, neither cast he them from his tpre- 
 sence as yet. 
 
 24 So Hazael king of Syria died; and 
 Ben-hadad his son reigned in his stead. 
 
 25 And Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz ttook 
 again out of the hand of Ben-hadad the 
 son ' of Hazael the cities, which he had 
 taken out of the hand of Jehoahaz his fa- 
 ther by war. "Three times did Joash 
 15 smite him, and recovered the cities of 
 Israel. 
 
 CHAPTER XIV. 
 1 Amaziah's good reign. 5 His justice on the mur- 
 derers of his father. 7 His victory over Edom. 8 
 Amaziah, provoking Jehoash, is overcome and 
 spoiled. 15 Jeroboam succeedeth Jehoash. 17 Ama- 
 ziah slain by a conspiracy. 21 Azariah succeed- 
 eth him. 23 Jeroboam's wicked reign. 28 Zacha- 
 riah succeedeth him. 
 
 IN "the second year of Joash son of Je- 
 hoahaz king of Israel reigned 'Amaziah 
 the son of Joash king of Judah. 
 
 2 He was twenty and five years old when 
 he began to reign, and reigned twenty and 
 nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother's 
 name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem. 
 
 3 And he did that which was right in the 
 sight of Jehovah, yet not like David his 
 father : he did according to all things as 
 Joash his father did. 
 
 4 cl But the high places were not taken 
 away: 2 the people 3 yet sacrificed and 
 burnt incense on the high places. 
 
 5 % And it came to pass, as soon as the 
 kingdom was confirmed in his hand, that 
 he slew his servants d who had slain the 
 king his father. 
 
 6 But the children of the murderers he 
 slew not : according to that which is writ- 
 ten in the book of the law of Moses, where- 
 in Jehovah commanded, saying, e The fa-

 7 f He slew of Edom in nhe valley of Salt 
 ten thousand, and took [JSelah by war, "and 
 called the name of it Joktheel until this 
 day. 
 
 8 If Then Amaziah sent messengers to 
 Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz, son of Jehu 
 king of Israel, saying, Come, let us look 
 one another in the face. 
 
 9 And Jehoash the king of Israel sent to 
 Amaziah king of Judah > saying,*The 4 thorn- 
 bush that was in Lebanon sent to the 'cedar 
 that was in Lebanon, saying, Give thy 
 daughter to my son 5 for a wife : and there 
 passed by a wild beast that was in Leba- 
 non, and trode down the 6 thorn-bush. 
 
 10 Thou hast indeed smitten Edom, and 
 m thy heart hath lifted thee up : 'boast, and 
 tarry tat home : for why shouldest thou Con- 
 tend with calamity, that thou shouldest 
 fall, even thou, and Judah with thee ? 
 
 11 But Amaziah would not hear. There- 
 fore Jehoash king of Israel went up ; and 
 he and Amaziah King of Judah looked one 
 another in the face at "Beth-shemesh, which 
 belongeth to Judah. 
 
 12 And Judah was 9 smitten before Israel ; 
 and they fled every man to their tents. 
 
 13 And Jehoash king of Israel '"seized 
 Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash 
 the son of Ahaziah, at Beth-shemesh, and 
 came to Jerusalem, and broke down the 
 wall of Jerusalem from "the gate of Ephra- 
 im to 'the corner-gate, four hundred cubits 
 
 14 And he took all «the gold and silver, 
 and all the vessels that were found in the 
 house of Jehovah, and in the treasures of 
 the king's house, and hostages, and return- 
 ed to Samaria, 
 
 15 If r Now the rest of the acts of Jehoash 
 which he did, and his might, and how he 
 fought with Amaziah king of Judah, are 
 they not written in the book of the Chre- 
 nicles of the kings of Israel ? 
 
 16 And Jehoash "lay with his fathers, and 
 was buried in Samaria with the kings of 
 Israel; and Jeroboam his son reigned in 
 his stead. 
 
 17 ^ 'And Amaziah the son of Joash king 
 of Judah lived after the death of Jehoash 
 son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years. 
 
 18 And the rest of the acts of Amaziah, 
 are they not written in the book of the 
 Chronicles of the kings of Judah ? 
 
 19 Now 'they made a conspiracy against 
 him in Jerusalem : and he fled to "Lachish ; 
 but they sent after him to Lachish, and 
 slew him there. 
 
 20 And they brought him on horses: and 
 he was buried at Jerusalem with his fa- 
 thers in the city of David. 
 
 21 If And all the people of Judah took 
 *Azariah, who was sixteen years old, and 
 made him king instead of his father Ama- 
 ziah. 
 
 22 He built "Elath, and restored it to Ju- 
 dah, after that the king ^lay with his fathers. 
 
 23 ^ In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the 
 son of Joash king of Judah, Jeroboam the 
 son of Joash king of Israel began to reign 
 in Samaria, and. reigned forty and one 
 years. 
 
 24 And he did 13 evil in the sight of Je- 
 
The reigns of Jlzariah, Zadtariah, 
 
 hovah : he departed not from all the sins 
 of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made 
 Israel to sin. 
 
 25 He restored the "territory of Israel 
 *from the entering of Hamath to "the sea 
 of the plain, according to the word of Je- 
 hovah God of Israel, which he spoke by 
 the hand of his servant 4 Jonah, the son of 
 Amittai, the prophet, who was of e Gath- 
 hepher. 
 
 26 For Jehovah d saw the affliction of Is- 
 rael, that it was very bitter: for 'there was 
 not any 15 bond or free, or any helper for 
 Israel. 
 
 27 ■''And Jehovah 16 had not said that he 
 would blot out the name of Israel from 
 under heaven : but he saved them by the 
 hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash. 
 
 28 If Now the rest of the acts of Jerobo- 
 am, and all that he did, and his might, how 
 he warred, and how he recovered Damas- 
 cus, and Hamath, "which belonged to Ju- 
 dah, for Israel, are they not written in the 
 book of the Chronicles of the kings of Is- 
 rael ? 
 
 29 And Jeroboam "lay with his fathers, 
 18 with the kings of Israel ; and '■Zachariah 
 his son reigned in his stead. 
 
 CHAPTER XV. 
 
 1 Azariah's good reign. 5 He dying a leper, Jo- 
 tham succeedeth. 8 Zachariah, the last of JeAu's 
 generation, reigning ill, is slain by Shallum. 13 
 Shallum, reigning a month, is slain by Menahem. 
 16 Menahem strengtheneth himself by Pul. 21 
 Pekahiah succeedeth him. 23 Pekahiah is slain 
 by Pekah. 27 Pekah is oppressed by Tiglath-pi- 
 leser, and slain by Hoshea. 32 Jotham's good reign. 
 36 Ahaz succeedeth him. 
 
 T N the twenty and seventh year of Jero- 
 -*■ boam king of Israel "began 'Azariah 
 son of Amaziah king of Judah to reign. 
 
 2 Sixteen years old was he when he be- 
 gan to reign, and he reigned two and fifty 
 years in Jerusalem. And his mother's 
 name was Jecholiah of Jerusalem. 
 
 3 And he did l right in the sight of Jeho- 
 vah, according to all that his father Ama- 
 ziah had done ; 
 
 4 c2 Except that the high places were not 
 removed : the people sacrificed and burnt 
 incense still on the high places. 
 
 5 If And JehovaH ''smote the king so that 
 he was a leper to the day of his death, and 
 •dwelt in a 3 sick -house. And Jotham the 
 king's son was over the house, judging the 
 people of the land. 
 
 6 And the rest of the acts of Azariah, and 
 all that he did, are they not written in the 
 book of the Chronicles of the kings of 
 Judah ? 
 
 7 So Azariah 4 lay with his fathers ; and 
 'they buried him with his fathers in the 
 city of David; and Jotham his son reigned 
 in his stead. 
 
 8 f In the thirty and eighth year of Aza 
 riah king of Judah did Zachariah the son 
 of Jeroboam reign over Israel in Samaria 
 six months. 
 
 9 And he did 5 evil in the sight of Jeho 
 vah, as his fathers had done : he departed 
 not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of 
 Nebat, who made Israel to sin. 
 
 10 And Shallum the son of Jabesh con- 
 spired against him, and *smote him before 
 the people, and slew him, and reigned in 
 his stead.

 12 This was "the word of Jehovah which

 shall sit on the throne of Israel to the 
 fourth generation. And so it came to pass. 
 
 13 ff Shallum the son of Jabesh began to 
 reign in the nine and thirtieth year ot 'Uz- 
 ziah king of Judah ; and he reigned ta 7 
 month in Samaria. 
 
 14 For Menahem the son of Gadi went 
 up from *Tirzah, and came to Samaria, 
 and smote Shallum the son of Jabesh in 
 Samaria, and slew him, and reigned in his 
 stead. 
 
 15 And the rest of the acts of Shallum, 
 and his conspiracy which he made, behold, 
 they are written in the book of the Chro-

 all that were therein, and the s regions there- 
 of from Tirzah : because they opened not 
 to him, therefore he smote it; and all m the 
 women therein that were with child he 
 ripped up. 
 
 17 In the nine and thirtieth year of Aza- 
 riah king of Judah began Menahem the son 
 of Gadi to reign over Israel, and reigned 
 ten years in Samaria. 
 
 18 And he did 9 evil in the sight of Jeho- 
 vah : he departed not all his days from the 
 sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who 
 made Israel to sin. 
 
 19 And "Pul the king of Assyria came 
 against the land : and Menahem gave Pul 
 a thousand talents of silver, that nis hand 
 might be with him to "confirm the kingdom 
 in his hand. 
 
 20 And Menahem texacted the money of 
 Israel, even of all the mighty men of wealth, 
 of each man fifty shekels of silver, to give 
 to the king of Assyria. So the king of As- 
 syria turned back, and stayed not there in 
 the land. 
 
 21 ^ And the rest of the acts of Mena- 
 hem, and all that he did, are they not writ- 
 ten in the book of the Chronicles of the 
 kings of Israel ? 
 
 22 And Menahem 10 lay with his fathers ; 
 and Pekahiah his son reigned in his stead. 
 
 23 ^f In the fiftieth year of Azariah king 
 of Judah, Pekahiah the son of Menahem 
 began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and 
 reigned two years. 
 
 24 And he did ll evil in the sight of Je- 
 hovah : he departed not from the sins of 
 Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Is- 
 rael to sin. 
 
 25 But Pekah the son of Remaliah, a 
 12 captain of his, conspired against him, and 
 smote him in Samaria, in the 13 castle of the 
 king's house, with Argob and Arieh, and 
 with him fifty men of the Gileadites : and 
 he killed him, and reigned in his room. 
 
 26 And the rest of the acts of Pekahiah, 
 and all that he did, behold, they are writ- 
 ten in the book of the Chronicles of the 
 kings of Israel. 
 
 27 If In-the two and fiftieth year of Aza- 
 riah king of Judah, p Pekah the son of Re- 
 maliah began to reign over Israel in Sama- 
 ria, and reigned twenty years. 
 
 28 And he did u evil in the sight of Je- 
 hovah : he departed not from the sins of

 29 In the days of Pekah king of Israel 
 «came Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, and 
 took r Ijon, and Abel-beth-maachah, and 
 Janoah, and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Gi- 
 lead, and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali, 
 and carried them captives to Assyria. 
 
 30 And Hoshea the son of Elan made a 
 conspiracy against Pekah the son of Re- 
 maliah, and smote him, and slew him, and 
 •reigned in his stead, In the twentieth year 
 of Jotham the son of Uzziah. 
 
 SI And the rest of the acts of Pekah, and 
 all that he did, behold, they are written in 
 the book of the Chronicles of the kings of 
 Israel. 
 
 82 If In the second year of Pekah the son 
 of Remaliah king of Israel began "Jotham 
 the son of Uzziah king of Judah to reign. 
 
 33 Five and twenty years old was he 
 when he began to reign, and he reigned 
 sixteen years in Jerusalem. And his mo- 
 ther's name was Jerusha, the daughter of 
 Zadok. 
 
 34 And he did 1S right in the sight of Je- 
 hovah: he did According to all that his 
 father Uzziah had done. 
 
 35 % ""Yet the high places were not re- 
 moved: the people sacrificed and burned 
 incense still in the high places. *He built 
 the higher gate of the house of Jehovah. 
 
 36 If Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, 
 and all that he did, are they not written 
 in the book of the Chronicles of the kings 
 of Judah ? 
 
 37 In those days Jehovah began to send 
 against Judah, "Rezin the king of Syria, 
 and 'Pekah the son of Remaliah. 
 
 38 And Jotham "lay with his fathers, and 
 was buried with his fathers in the city of 
 David his father : and Ahaz his son reign- 
 ed in his stead. 
 
 CHAPTER XVI. 
 
 1 Ahaz's wicked reign. 5 Ahaz, assailed by Rezin 
 and Pekah, hirelh Tiglah-pileser against them. 10 
 Ahaz, sending a pattern of an altar from Damas- 
 cus to Urijah,diverteth the brazen altar to his own 
 devotion. 17 He spoileth the temple. 19 Hezekiah 
 succeedeth him. 
 
 IN the seventeenth year of Pekah the son 
 of Remaliah, "Ahaz the son of Jotham 
 king of Judah began to reign. 
 
 2 Twenty years old ivas Ahaz when he 
 began to reign, and reigned sixteen years 
 in Jerusalem, and did not l do right in the 
 sight of Jehovah his God, like David his 
 father. 
 
 3 But he walked in the way of the kings 
 of Israel, yea, 'and made his son to pass 
 through the fire, according to the 'abomi- 
 nations of the heathen, whom Jehovah 
 ' had' cast out from before the children of 
 Israel. 
 
 4 And he sacrificed and burnt incense in 
 the high places, and d on the hills, and un- 
 der every green tree. 
 
 5 H "Then Rezin king of Syria and Pe- 
 kah son of Remaliah king of Israel came 
 up to Jerusalem to war : and they besieged 
 Ahaz, but could not overcome him. 
 
 6 At that time Rezin king of Syria ■'re- 
 covered Elath to Syria, and drove the Jews 
 from tEIath: and the Syrians came to 
 Elath, and dwelt there to this day.

 The wicked reign of Ahaz* 
 
 me z from the hand of the king of Syria, 
 and 3 from the hand of the king of Israel, 
 who rise up against me. 
 
 8 And Ahaz *took the silver and gold 
 that was found in the house of Jehovah, and 
 in the treasures of the king's house, and 
 sent it for a present to the king of Assyria. 
 
 9 And the King of Assyria hearkened to 
 him: for the king of Assyria went up 
 against tDamascus, and i4 seized it, and 
 carried the people of it captive to Kir, and 
 slew Rezin. 
 
 10 If And king Ahaz went to Damascus 
 to meet Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, 
 and saw an altar that was at Damascus : 
 and king Ahaz sent to Urijah the priest 
 the 6 model of the altar, and the pattern of 
 it, according to all the workmanship thereof. 
 
 11 And Urijah the priest built an altar 
 according to all that king Ahaz had sent 
 from Damascus : so Urijah the priest made 
 it against s the return of king Ahaz from 
 Damascus. 
 
 12 And when the king 7 came from Da- 
 mascus, the king saw the altar : and *the 
 king approached to the altar, and offered 
 thereon. 
 
 13 And he burnt his burnt-offering and 
 his 8 meal-offering, and poured his drink- 
 offering, and sprinkled the blood of this 
 'thank-offering on the altar. 
 
 14 And he brought also r the brazen altar, 
 which was before Jehovah, from the "front 
 of the house, from between the altar and the 
 house of Jehovah, and put it on the north 
 side of the altar. 
 
 15 And king Ahaz commanded Urijah 
 the priest, saying, On the great altar burn 
 ™the morning burnt-offering, and the even- 
 ing J 'meal -offering, and the king's burnt- 
 sacrifice, and his 12 meal-offering, with the 
 burnt-offering of all the people of the land, 
 and their ia meal-offering, and their drink- 
 offerings ? and sprinkle on it all the blood 
 of the burnt-offering, and all the blood of 
 the sacrifice : and the brazen altar shall be 
 for me to inquire by. 
 
 16 Thus did Urijah the priest, according 
 to all that king Ahaz commanded. 
 
 17 If "And king Ahaz cut off the borders 
 of the bases, and removed the laver from 
 off them ; and took down p the sea from 
 off the brazen oxen that were under it, and 
 put it on a pavement of stones. 
 
 18 And the "covered-walk for the sab- 
 bath that they had built in the house, and 
 the king's entry without, turned he from the 
 house of Jehovah for the king of Assyria. 
 
 19 If Now the rest of the acts of Ahaz 
 which he did, are they not written in the 
 book of the Chronicles of the kings of 
 Judah? 
 
 20 And Ahaz ,6 lay with his fathers, and 
 'was buried with his fathers in the city of 
 David : and Hezekiah his son reigned in 
 his stead. 
 
 CHAPTER XVII. 
 
 1 Hoshea's wicked reign. 3 Being subdued by Shal- 
 maneser, he conspireth against him with So king 
 of Egypt. 5 Samariafor their sins is captivated. 
 24 The strange nations, which were transplanted 
 in Samaria, being plagued with lions, make a 
 mixture of religions. 
 
 IN the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Ju- 
 dah began "Hoshea the son of Elah, to 
 reign in Samaria over Israel nine years. 
 
Israel rejected for their sins. 
 
 2 And he did * evil in the sight of Jeho- 
 vah, but not as the kings of Israel that 
 were before him. 
 
 •3 U Against him came up *Shalmaneser 
 king ot Assyria ; and Hoshea became his 
 servant, and tgave him Hpresents. 
 
 4 And the king of Assyria found conspi- 
 racy in Hoshea : for he had sent messen- 
 gers to So king of Egypt, and brought no 
 present to the king ot Assyria, as he Iiad 
 done year by year : therefore the king of 
 Assyria shut him up, and bound him in 
 prison. 
 
 5 If Then the king of Assyria came up 
 throughout all the land, and went up to 
 Samaria, and besieged it three years. 
 
 6 f d In the ninth year of Hoshea the king 
 of Assyria took Samaria, and "carried Is- 
 rael away into Assyria, 'and placed them 
 in Halah and in Habor by the river of Go- 
 zan, and in the cities of the Medes. 
 
 7 For *it came to pass, that the children 
 of Israel had sinned against Jehovah their 
 God, who had brought them up out of the 
 land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pha- 
 raoh king of Egypt, and had 3 reverenced 
 other gods. 
 
 8 And ^walked in the Ordinances of the 
 heathen whom Jehovah ' had' cast out from 
 before the children of Israel, and of the 
 kings of Israel, which they had made. 
 
 9 And the children of Israel did secretly 
 those things that were not right against Je- 
 hovah their God, and they built themselves 
 high places in all their cities, *from the 
 tower of the watchman to the fortified city. 
 
 10 \A.nd they set up timages 'for them- 
 selves' and *groves In every high hill, and 
 under every green tree : 
 
 11 And there they burnt incense in all 
 the high places, as did the heathen whom 
 Jehovah 'had' carried away 'captives' 
 before them ; and wrought wicked things 
 to provoke Jehovah : 6 
 
 12 For they served idols, m of which Jeho- 
 vah had said to them, "Ye shall not do 
 this thing. 
 
 13 Yet Jehovah testified against Israel, 
 and against Judah, tby all the prophets, 
 and by all "the seers, saying, *Turn ye 
 from your evil ways, and keep my com- 
 mandments, and T mine ordinances, ac- 
 cording to all the law which I commanded 
 your fathers, and which I sent to you by 
 my servants the prophets. 
 
 14 *Yet they would not hear, but 'har- 
 dened their necks, like to the neck of their 
 fathers, who did not believe in Jehovah 
 their God. 
 
 15 And they rejected his Ordinances, 
 'and his covenant that he made with their 
 fathers, and his testimonies which he tes- 
 tified against them; and they followed 
 * 10 vanity, and 'became vain, and went af- 
 ter the heathen that were round about 
 them, concerning whom Jehovah had 
 charged them, that they should "not do 
 like them. 
 
 16 And they left all the commandments 
 of Jehovah their God, and *made them- 
 selves molten images, even two calves, 
 *and made a grove, and worshipped all the 
 host of heaven, *and served Baal. 
 
 17 "And they caused their sons and their 
 daughters to pass through the fire, and 
 'used divination and enchantments, and 
 
 CHAPTER XVII. The mixed worship of the Samaritans. 
 
 c sold themselves to do evil in the sight of 
 Jehovah, to provoke him. 11 
 
 18 Therefore Jehovah was very angry 
 with Israel, and removed them out of his 
 sight : there u were none left ''but the tribe 
 of Judah only. 
 
 19 Also 'Judah kept not the command- 
 ments of Jehovah their God, but walked 
 in the "ordinances of Israel which they 
 made. 
 
 20 And Jehovah rejected all the seed of 
 Israel, and afflicted them, and 'delivered 
 them into the hand of spoilers, until he 
 had cast them out of his sight. 
 
 21 For *he rent Israel from the house of 
 David ; and *they made Jeroboam the son 
 of Nebat king: and Jeroboam "removed 
 Israel from following Jehovah, and made 
 them sin a great sin, 
 
 22 For the children of Israel walked in 
 all the sins of Jeroboam which he did ; 
 they departed not from them ; 
 
 23 Until Jehovah removed Israel out of 
 his sight, *as he had said by all his servants 
 the prophets. U6 So he carried Israel away 
 captives out of their own land to Assyria 
 to this day. 
 
 24 ^ 'And the king of Assyria brought 
 men m from Babylon, and from Cuthah, 
 and from "Ava, and from Hamath, and 
 from Sepharvaim, and placed them in the 
 cities of Samaria instead of the children 
 of Israel : and they possessed Samaria, 
 and dwelt in the cities thereof. 
 
 25 And so it was at the beginning of their 
 dwelling there, that they feared not Jeho- 
 vah : therefore Jehovah sent lions among 
 them, which slew some of them. 
 
 26 Wherefore they spoke to the king of 
 Assyria, saying, The nations which thou 
 hast removed, and placed in the cities of 
 Samaria, know not the 16 custom of the God 
 of the land : therefore he hath sent lions 
 among them, and behold, they slay them, 
 because they know not the "custom of the 
 God of the land. 
 
 27 Then the king of Assyria commanded, 
 saying, Carry thither one of the priests 
 whom ye brought from thence; and let 
 them go and dwell there, and let him teach 
 them the I8 custom of the God of the land. 
 
 28 Then one of the priests whom they 
 had carried away from Samaria came and 
 dwelt in Beth-el, and taught them how 
 they should fear Jehovah. 
 
 29 ,9 Yet each nation made gods of their 
 own, and put them in the houses of the 
 high places which the Samaritans had 
 made, ^each nation in their cities wherein 
 they dwelt. 
 
 30 And the men of "Babylon made Suc- 
 coth-benoth, and the men of Cuth made 
 Nergal, and the men of Hamath made 
 Ashima, 
 
 31 p And the Avites made Nibhaz and 
 Tartak, and the Sepharvites 'burnt their 
 children in fire to Adrammelech and Anam- 
 melech, the gods of Sepharvaim. 
 
 32 So they feared Jehovah, 'and made 
 2, for themselves ' some 9 of the lowest of 
 them priests of the high places, who sacri- 
 ficed for them in the houses of the high 
 places. 
 
 33 'They feared Jehovah, and served 
 their own gods, after the ^custom of the na- 
 tions ||whom they carried away from thence.

 34 To this day they do ^according to the 
 former "customs : they fear not Jehovah, 
 neither do they "according to their 26 ordi- 
 nances, or ^'according to their ^customs, 
 or 29 according to the law and command- 
 ment which Jehovah commanded the child- 
 ren of Jacob, 'whom he named Israel ; 
 
 35 With whom Jehovah had made a co- 
 venant, and charged them, saying, "Ye 
 shall not fear other gods, nor x bow your- 
 selves to them, nor serve them, nor sacri- 
 fice to them : 
 
 36 But Jehovah, who brought you up out 
 of the land of Egypt with great power and 
 % stretched -out arm, *him shall ye fear, 
 and him shall ye worship, and to him shall 
 ye ^ sacrifice. 
 
 37 And the 3! ordinances, and the ^cus- 
 toms, and the law, and the commandment 
 which he wrote for you, "ye shall observe 
 to do for evermore ; and ye shall not fear 
 other gods. 
 
 38 And the covenant that I have made 
 with you b ye shall not forget ; neither shall 
 ye fear other gods. 
 
 39 But Jehovah your God ye shall fear; 
 and he shall deliver you out of the hand 
 of all your enemies. 
 
 40 M Yet they did not hearken, but they 
 did after their former ^custom. 
 
 41 e So these nations feared Jehovah, and 
 served their graven images, both their 
 children, and their children's children: 
 a9 did their fathers, so do they to this day. 
 
 CHAPTER XVIII. 
 
 1 Hezekiah's good reign. 4 He destroyeth idolatry, 
 and prospereth. 9 Samaria is carried captive for 
 their sins. 13 Sennacherib invading Judah is 
 pacified by a tribute. 17 Rab-shakeh, sent by Sen- 
 nacherib again,revileth Hezekiah,and by reproach- 
 ful persuasions soliciteth the people to revolt. 
 
 NOW it came to pass in the third year 
 of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, 
 that "Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of 
 Judah began to reign. 
 
 2 Twenty and five years old was he when 
 he began to reign ; and he reigned twenty 
 and nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's 
 name also was 6 Abi the daughter of Za- 
 chariah. 
 
 3 And he did ' right in the sight of Je- 
 hovah, according to all that David his fa- 
 ther did. 
 
 4 If "He removed the high places, and 
 broke the 2 statues, and cut down the groves, 
 and broke in pieces the d brazen serpent 
 that Moses had made: for to those days 
 the children of Israel did burn incense to

 Sennacherib invadeth Judah 
 
 venth year of Hoshea son of Elah king of 
 Israel, that Shalmaneser king of Assyria 
 came up against Samaria, and besieged it, 
 
 10 And at the end of three years they 
 took it: even in the sixth year of Hezekiah, 
 (that is, "the ninth year of Hoshea king of 
 Israel,) Samaria was taken. 
 
 11 ? And the king of Assyria did carry 
 away Israel to Assyria, and put them 'in 
 Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, 
 and in the cities of the Medes : 
 
 12 'Because they obeyed not the voice of 
 Jehovah their God, but transgressed his- 
 covenant, and all that Moses the servant 
 of Jehovah ' had' commanded, and would 
 not hear them, nor do them. 
 
 13 ^f Now J in the fourteenth year of king 
 Hezekiah did tShennacherib king of As- 
 syria come up against all the fenced cities 
 of Judah, and 6 seized them. 
 
 14 And Hezekiah king of Judah sent to 
 the king of Assyria to Lachish, saying, I 
 have offended; return from me: that which 
 thou puttest on me I will bear. And the 
 king of Assyria appointed to Hezekiah 
 king of Judah three hundred talents of 
 silver and thirty talents of gold. 
 
 15 And Hezekiah 'gave him all the silver 
 that was found in the house of Jehovah, 
 and in the treasures of the king's house; 
 
 16 At that time did Hezekiah cut off Me 
 gold from the doors of the temple of Jeho- 
 vah, and from the pillars whicn Hezekiah 
 king of Judah had overlaid, and gave tit 
 to the king of Assyria. 
 
 17 If And the king of Assyria sent Tartan 
 and Rabsaris and Rab-shakeh from La- 
 chish to king Hezekiah with a tgreat host 
 against Jerusalem : and they went up, and 
 came to Jerusalem : and when* they 'had 
 come up, they came and stood by the con- 
 duit oi the upper pool, "which is in the 
 highway of the fuller's field. 
 
 18 And when they had called to the king, 
 there came out to them Eliakim the son of 
 Hilkiah, who was over the household, and 
 Shebna the ||scribe, and Joah the son of 
 Asaph the recorder. 
 
 19 And Rab-shakeh said to them, Speak 
 ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great 
 king, the king of Assyria, 'What confi- 
 dence is this wherein thou trustest? 
 
 20 Thou. Usayest, (but they are but tvain 
 words,)||./7<«TOe counsel and strength for the 
 war. Now on whom dost thou trust, that 
 thou rebellest against me ? 
 
 21 "Now behold, thou ttrustest s in the 
 staff of this 9 broken reed, even !0 in Egypt, 
 on which if a man lean, it will go into his 
 hand, and pierce it; so is Pharaoh king of 
 Egypt to all that trust "in him. 
 
 22 But if ye say to me, We trust in Je- 
 hovah our God : is not ,2 this he 'whose 
 high places and whose altars Hezekiah 
 hath taken away, and hath said to Judah 
 and Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before 
 this altar in Jerusalem ? 
 
 23 Now therefore, I pray thee, give 
 Upledges to my lord the king of Assyria, 
 and I will deliver thee two thousand 
 horses, if thou be able on thy part to set 
 riders on them. 
 
 24 How then wilt thou turn away 
 face of one 13 governor of the least of 
 master's servants, and put thy trust 
 Egypt for chariots and for horsemen ? 
 
 the 
 my 
 ,4 in 
 
Rab-shakeh soliciteth the people to revolt. CHAPTER XIX. 
 
 25 "Have I now come up without Jeho- 
 vah against this place to destroy it? Jeho- 
 vah said to me, Go up against this land, 
 and destroy it. 
 
 26 Then said Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, 
 and Shebna, and Joah, to Rab-shakeh, 
 Speak, I pray thee, to thy servants in the 
 Syrian language ; for we l6 understand it : 
 and talk not with us in the Jews' language 
 in the "hearing of the people that are on 
 the wall. 
 
 27 But Rab-shakeh said to them, Hath 
 my master sent me to thy master, and to 
 thee, to speak these words? hath he not 
 sent me to the men who sit on the wall, 
 that they may eat their own I8 ordure, and 
 drink ttheir own "water with you ? 
 
 28 Then Rab-shakeh stood and cried with 
 a loud voice in the Jews' language, and 
 spoke, saying, Hear the word of the great 
 king, the king of Assyria : 
 
 29 Thus saith the king, "Let not Heze- 
 kiah deceive you : for he 20 will not be able 
 to deliver you 2, from his hand : 
 
 30 Neither let Hezekiah make you trust 
 in Jehovah, saying, Jehovah will surely 
 deliver us, and this city shall not be de- 
 livered into the hand of the king of Assyria. 
 
 31 Hearken not to Hezekiah : for thus 
 saith the kin* of Assyria, || tMake M ye peace 
 with me, and come out to me, and then eat 
 ye every man of his own vine, and every 
 one of his fig-tree, and drink ye every one 
 the waters of his ||cistern : 
 
 32 Until I come and take you away to a 
 land like your own land, 6 a land of ^grain 
 and ' new' wine, a land of bread and vine- 
 yards, a land of 'fresh' oil -olive and of 
 honey, that ye may live, and not die : and 
 hearken not to Hezekiah, when he llper- 
 suadeth you, saying, Jehovah will de- 
 liver us. 
 
 33 c Hath any ' one' of the gods of the na- 
 tions delivered his land at all M from the 
 hand of the king of Assyria ? 
 
 34 ''Where are the gods of Hamath, and 
 of Arpad ? where are the gods of Sephar- 
 vaim, Hena, and e Ivah? have they deliver- 
 ed Samaria ^from my hand ? 
 
 35 Who are ^those among all the gods of 
 the countries that have delivered their 
 country out of my hand, ^that Jehovah 
 should deliver Jerusalem ^from my hand ? 
 
 36 But the people held their peace, and 
 answered him not a word : for the king's 
 commandment was, saying, Answer him 
 not. 
 
 37 Then came Eliakim the son of Hil- 
 kiah, who was over the household, and 
 Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of 
 Asaph the recorder, to Hezekiah g with 
 their clothes rent, and told him the words 
 of Rab-shakeh.

 household, and Shebna the scribe, and the 
 elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, 
 to 'Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz. 
 
 3 And they said to him, Thus saith He- 
 zekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and 
 of 'chastisement, and 2 reproach: for the 
 children 3 have come to the birth, and there 
 is not strength to bring forth. 
 
 4 c 'Perhaps Jehovah thy God will hear 
 all the words of Rab-shakeh, ''whom the 
 king of Assyria his master hath sent to re- 
 proach the living God; and will ' 'punish 
 the words which Jehovah thy God hath 
 heard : wherefore lift up thy prayer for the 
 remnant who are Heft. 
 
 5 So the servants of king Hezekiah came 
 to Isaiah. 
 
 6 If 'And Isaiah said to them, Thus shall 
 ye say to your master, Thus saith Jeho- 
 vah^ Be not afraid of the words which 
 thou hast heard, with which the ^servants 
 of the king of Assyria have 6 reviled me. 
 
 7 Behold, I will send *a 'wind upon him, 
 and he shall hear a rumour, and shall re- 
 turn to his own land ; and I will cause him 
 to fall by the sword in his own land. 
 
 8 If So Rab-shakeh returned, and found 
 the king of Assyria warring against Lib- 
 nah : for he had heard that he was departed 
 'from Lachish. 
 
 9 And 'when he heard 8 it said concern- 
 ing Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, Behold, he 
 is come out to fight against thee : he sent 
 messengers again to Hezekiah, saying, 
 
 10 Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king 
 of Judah, saying, Let not thy God 'in whom 
 thou trustest deceive thee, saying, Jerusa- 
 lem shall not be delivered into the hand 
 of the king of Assyria. 
 
 11 Behold, thou hast heard what the kings 
 of Assyria have done to all lands, by de- 
 stroying them utterly: and shalt thou be 
 delivered ? 
 
 12 "Have the gods of the nations which 
 my fathers have destroyed delivered them: 
 "even Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and 
 the children of "Eden who were in The- 
 lasar ? 
 
 13 "Where is the king of Hamath, and 
 the king of Arpad, and the king of the city 
 of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivah? 
 
 14 TI ''And Hezekiah received the 10 letter 
 "from the hand of the. messengers, and read 
 12 it: and Hezekiah went up into the house 
 of Jehovah, and spread 13 it before Jehovah. 
 
 15 And Hezekiah prayed before Jeho- 
 vah and said, O Jehovah God of Israel, 
 'who dwellest between the cherubim, thou 
 art the God, even thou alone, of all the 
 kingdoms of the earth; thau hast made 
 heaven and earth. 
 
 16 Jehovah, 'bow down thine ear, and 
 hear: 'open, Jehovah, thine eyes, and see: 
 and hear the words of Sennacherib, "who 
 hath sent him to reproach the living God. 
 
 17 "Truly, Jehovah, the kings of Assyria 
 have destroyed the nations and their lands, 
 
 18 And have tcast their gods into the fire s 
 for they were no gods, but x the work of 
 men's hands, wood and stone: therefore 
 they have destroyed them. 
 
 19 Now therefore, O Jehovah our God, I 
 beseech thee, save thou us I6 from his hand, 
 y that all the kingdoms of the earth may 
 know that thou art Jehovah God, even 
 thou only. 
 
 287 
 
Isaiah's prophecy against Sennacherib. 
 
 20 If Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent 
 to Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith Jehovah 
 God of Israel, "That which thou hast pray- 
 ed to me against Sennacherib king of As- 
 syria °I have heard. 
 
 21 This is the word which Jehovah hath 
 spoken concerning him; The virgin *the 
 daughter of Zion hath I6 mocked thee, and 
 laughed thee to scorn ; the daughter of Je- 
 rusalem c hath shaken her head at thee. 
 
 22 Whom hast thou reproached and "re- 
 viled ? and against whom hast thou exalted 
 thy voice, and lifted up thine eyes on high ? 
 even against d the Holy One of Israel. 
 
 23 t'By thy messengers thou hast re- 
 proached the ,8 Lord, and hast said, 'With 
 the multitude of my chariots I am come 
 up to the height of the mountains, to the 
 sides of Lebanon, and will cut down tthe 
 tall cedar-trees thereof, and the choice 
 J 9 cypress-trees thereof: and I will enter 
 into the lodgings of his borders, and into 
 ||the forest ot his Carmel. 
 
 24 I have digged and drunk strange wa- 
 ters, and with 20 my footsteps have I dried 
 up all the rivers of 2I Egypt. 
 
 25 Hast thou not heard long ago how *I 
 have done it, and of ancient times that I 
 have formed it? now have I brought it to 
 pass, that *thou shouldest lay waste forti- 
 fied cities in heaps of ruins. 
 
 26 Therefore their inhabitants were tof 
 small power, they were dismayed and con- 
 founded; they were as the grass of the 
 field, and as the green herb, as 'the grass 
 on the housetops, and ^like grain blasted 
 before it M is grown up. 
 
 27 But *I know thine llabode, and thy going 
 out,and thy coming in, and thy rage against 
 me. 
 
 28 Because thy rage against me and thy 
 ^tumult is come up into mine ears, there- 
 fore ! I will put my hook in thy nose, and 
 my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee 
 back m by the way by which thou earnest. 
 
 29 And this shall be "a sign to thee, Ye 
 shall eat this year such things as grow of 
 themselves, and in the second year that 
 which springeth of the same ; and in the 
 third year sow ye, and reap, and plant 
 vineyards, and eat the fruits thereof. 
 
 50 "And tthe remnant that is escaped of 
 the house of Judah shall yet again take 
 root downward, and bear fruit upward. 
 
 31 For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a 
 remnant, and tthey that escape out of 
 mount Zion: 'the zeal of Jehovah of 
 hosts shall do this. 
 
 32 Therefore thus saith Jehovah concern- 
 ing the king of Assyria, He shall not come 
 into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, 
 nor come before it with shield, nor cast a 
 bank against it. 
 
 33 By the way that he came, by the same 
 shall he return, and shall not come into 
 this city, saith Jehovah. 
 
 34 For «I will defend this city, to save it, 
 for mine own sake, and 'for my servant 
 David's sake. 
 
 35 If And 'it came to pass that night, that 
 the angel of Jehovah went out, and smote 
 in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred 
 fourscore and five thousand: and when 
 they arose early in the morning, behold, 
 they were all dead corpses.

 and prayed to Jehovah, saying, 
 
 3 I beseech thee, O Jehovah, 'remember 
 now how I have 'walked before thee in 
 truth and with a 2 sincere heart, and have 
 done that which is good in thy sight. And 
 Hezekiah wept 1 3 much. 
 
 4 And it came to pass, "before Isaiah 5 had 
 gone out into the middle llcourt, that the 
 word of Jehovah came to him, saying, 
 
 5 Turn again, and tell Hezekiah d the 
 6 prince of my people, Thus saith Jehovah, 
 the God of David thy father, 'I have heard 
 thy prayer, I have seen 'thy tears : behold, 
 I will heal thee: on the third day thou 
 shalt go up to the house of Jehovah. 
 
 6 And I will add to thy days fifteen years ; 
 and I will deliver thee ana this city 'from 
 the hand of the king of Assyria ; and s l 
 will defend this city for mine own sake, 
 and for my servant David's sake. 
 
 7 And R Isaiah said, Take a 8 cake of figs. 
 And they took and laid it on the boil, and 
 he recovered. 
 
 8 If And Hezekiah said to Isaiah, 'What 
 shall be the sign that Jehovah will heal 
 me, and that I shall go up to the house of 
 Jehovah the third day ? 
 
 9 And Isaiah said, *This sign shalt thou 
 have 9 from Jehovah, that Jehovah will do 
 the thing that he hath spoken : shall the 
 shadow go forward ten degrees, or go back 
 ten degrees ? 
 
 10 And Hezekiah answered, It is a 10 trif- 
 ling thing for the shadow to go down ten 
 degrees : nay, but let the shadow return 
 backward ten degrees. 
 
 II And Isaiah the prophet cried to Je- 
 hovah: and ! he brought the shadow ten 
 degrees backward, by which it had gone 
 down on the tdial of Ahaz. 
 
 12 1f m At that time ||Berodach-baladan, 
 the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent 
 letters and a present to Hezekiah : for he 
 had heard that Hezekiah had been sick. 
 
 13 And "Hezekiah hearkened to them, 
 and shewed them all the house of his 
 "treasures, the silver, and the gold, and 
 the spices, and the precious ointment, and 
 all the house of his I2 jewels, and all that 
 was found in his treasures : there was no- 
 thing in his house, nor in all his dominion, 
 that Hezekiah shewed them not. 
 
 14 If Then came Isaiah the prophet to 
 
Manasseh' s excessive wickedness. 
 
 king Hezekiah, and said to him, What 
 said these men ? and from whence came 
 they to thee ? And Hezekiah said, They 
 are come from a far country, even from 
 Babylon. 
 
 15 And he said, What have they seen in 
 thy house ? And Hezekiah answered, "All 
 the things that are in my house have they 
 seen : there is nothing among my treasures 
 that I have not shewed them. 
 
 16 And Isaiah said to Hezekiah, Hear 
 the word of Jehovah. 
 
 17 Behold, the days "are coming, when 
 all that is in thy house, and that which thy 
 fathers have laid up in store to this day, 
 ''shall be carried into Babylon: nothing 
 shall be left, saith Jehovah. 
 
 18 And ' some' of thy sons that shall is- 
 sue from thee, whom thou slialt beget, 'shall 
 they take away; Hand they shall be eunuchs 
 in the palace of the king of Babylon. 
 
 19 Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah,* r Good 
 is the word of Jehovah which thou hast 
 spoken. And he said, ||/s it not good, if 
 peace and "faithfulness be in my days ? 
 
 20 If 'And the rest of the acts of Heze- 
 kiah, and all his might, and how he 'made a 
 pool, and an aqueduct, and "brought water 
 into the city, are they not written in the book 
 of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah? 
 
 21 And 'Hezekiah 15 lay with his fathers : 
 and Manasseh his son reigned in his stead. 
 
 CHAPTER XXI. 
 
 1 Manasseh's reign. 3 His great idolatry. 10 His 
 wickedness causeth prophecies against Judah. 17 
 Amon succeedeth him. 19 Anion's wicked reign. 
 23 He being slain by his servants, and those mur- 
 derers slain by the people, Josiah is made king. 
 
 MANASSEH "was twelve years old 
 when he began to reign, and * he' 
 reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem. 
 And his mother's name was Hephzi-bah. 
 
 2 And he did ' evil in the sight of Jeho- 
 vah, "according to the abominations of the 
 heathen, whom Jehovah * had' cast out 
 before the children of Israel. 
 
 3 For he built up again the high places 
 "which Hezekiah his- father had destroyed; 
 and he reared up altars for Baal, and made 
 a grove, d as did Ahab king of Israel ; and 
 'worshipped all the host of heaven, and 
 served them. 
 
 4 And ^he built altars in the house of 
 Jehovah, 'concerning which Jehovah 'had' 
 said, g In Jerusalem will I put my name. 
 
 5 And he built altars for all the host of 
 heaven in the two courts of the house of 
 Jehovah. 
 
 6 "And he made Ms son pass through the 
 fire, and practised 'sorcery, and used en- 
 chantments, and dealt with familiar spirits 
 and wizards : he wrought much wicked- 
 ness in the sight of Jehovah, to provoke 
 him. 5 
 
 7 And he set a graven image of the grove 
 that he had made in the house, Concerning 
 which Jehovah 'had' said to David, and to 
 Solomon his son, *In this house, and in Jeru- 
 salem, which I have chosen out of all tribes 
 of Israel, will I put my name for ever : 
 
 8 'Neither will I make the feet of Israel 
 7 wander any more 8 from the land which I 
 gave their fathers ; only if they will observe 
 to do according to all that I have command- 
 ed them, and according to all the law that 
 my servant Moses commanded them.

 9 But they hearkened not : and Manas- 
 seh m9 led them astray to do more evil than 
 10 the nations did whom Jehovah ' had' de- 
 stroyed before the children of Israel. 
 
 10 If And Jehovah spoke by his servants 
 the prophets, saying, 
 
 11 "Because Manasseh king of Judah hath 
 done these abominations, "and hath done 
 wickedly above all that the Amorites did, 
 who were before him, and p hath made Ju- 
 dah also to sin with his idols : 
 
 12 Therefore thus saith Jehovah God of 
 Israel, Behold, I am bringing such evil on 
 Jerusalem and Judah, that whoever hear- 
 eth of it, both 'his ears shall tingle. 
 
 13 And I will stretch over Jerusalem 
 the "measuring-cord of Samaria, and the 
 12 plumb-line of the house of Ahab : and I 
 will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipeth a 
 13 platter, twiping it, and turning it upside 
 down. 
 
 14 And I will forsake the remnant of 
 mine inheritance, and deliver them into 
 the hand of their enemies ; and they shall 
 become a prey and a spoil to all their ene- 
 mies; 
 
 15 Because they have done 14 evil in my 
 sight, and have provoked me l5 , since the 
 day their fathers came forth 16 from Egypt, 
 even to this clay. 
 
 16 'Moreover, Manasseh shed innocent 
 blood "abundantly, till he had filled Jeru- 
 salem tfi'om one end to another ; besides 
 his sin wherewith he made Judah to sin, in 
 doing IS evil in the sight of Jehovah. 
 
 17 If Now 'the rest of the acts of Manas- 
 seh, and all that he did, and his sin that 
 he sinned, are they not written in the book 
 of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah ? 
 
 18 And "Manasseh 19 lay with his fathers, 
 and was buried in the garden of his own 
 house, in the garden of Uzza: and Amon 
 his son reigned in his stead. 
 
 19 ff 'Amon was twenty and two years 
 old when he began to reign, and he reigned 
 two years in Jerusalem. And his mother's 
 name was Meshullemeth, the daughter of 
 Haruz of Jotbah. 
 
 20 And he did 20 evil in the sight of Jeho- 
 vah, "as his father Manasseh did. 
 
 21 And he walked in all the way that his 
 father walked in, and served the idols that 
 his father served, and worshipped thein : 
 
 22 And he ^forsook Jehovah God of his 
 fathers, and walked not in the way of 
 Jehovah. 
 
 23 If "And the servants of Amon conspir- 
 ed against him, and slew the king in his 
 own nouse. 
 
 24 And the people of the land slew all 
 those who had conspired against king Amon ; 
 and the people of the land made Josiah his 
 son king in his stead. 
 
 25 Now the rest of the acts of Amon 
 which he did, are they not written in the 
 book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah ? 
 
 26 And he was buried in his sepulchre in 
 the garden of Uzza : and 'Josiah his 
 
 son 
 
 reigned in his stead. 
 
 CHAPTER XXII. 
 
 1 Josiah's good reign. 3 He taketh care for the re- 
 pair of the temple. 8 Hilkiah having found a book 
 of the law, Josiah sendeth to Huldah to inquire 
 of JEHOVAH. 15 Huldah prophesieth the destruc- 
 tion of Jerusalem, but respite thereof in Josiah's 
 time, 
 
 289 
 
Hilkiah Jindeth a book of the. law, 
 
 JOSIAH "was eight years old when he 
 began to reign, and he reigned thirty 
 and one years in Jerusalem. And his mo- 
 ther's name was Jedidah, the daughter of 
 Adaiah of 'Boscath. 
 
 2 And he did ' right in the sight of Jeho- 
 vah, and walked in all the way of David 
 his father, and 'turned not aside to the 
 right hand or to the left. 
 
 3 If rf And it came to pass in the eighteenth 
 year of king Josiah, that the king sent Sha- 
 phan the son of Azaliah, the son of Me- 
 shullam, the scribe, to the house of Jeho- 
 vah, saying, 
 
 4 Go up to Hilkiah the high priest, that 
 he may 2 pay out the silver which is 'brought 
 into the house of Jehovah, which •'the 
 keepers of the tdoor have gathered 3 from 
 the people : 
 
 5 And let them ^deliver it into the hand 
 of the doers of the work, that have the 
 oversight of the house of Jehovah : and 
 let them give it to the doers of the work, 
 which is in the house of Jehovah, to repair 
 the breaches of the house, 
 
 6 To carpenters, and builders, and ma- 
 sons, and to buy timber and hewn stone to 
 repair the house. 
 
 7 4 Yet, ''there was no reckoning made 
 with them of the money that was delivered 
 into their hand, because they dealt faith- 
 fully. 
 
 8 If And Hilkiah the high priest said to 
 Shaphan the scribe, 'I have found 5 a book 
 of the law in the house of Jehovah. And 
 Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan, and he 
 read it. 
 
 9 And Shaphan the scribe came to the 
 king, and brought the king word again, and 
 said, Thy servants have 6 emptied out the 
 money that was found in the house, and 
 have delivered it into the hand of them 
 that do the work, that have the oversight 
 of the house of Jehovah. 
 
 10 And Shaphan the scribe shewed the 
 king, saying, Hilkiah the priest hath de- 
 livered me a book. And Shaphan read it 
 before the king. 
 
 11 And it came to pass, when the king 
 had heard the words of the book of the 
 law, that he rent his clothes. 
 
 12 And the king commanded Hilkiah the 
 priest, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, 
 and 'Achbor the son of ||Michaiah, and 
 Shaphan the scribe, and Asahiah a servant 
 of the king's, saying, 
 
 13 Go ye, inquire of Jehovah for me, and 
 for the people, and for all Judah, concern- 
 ing the words of this book that is found : 
 for great is 'the wrath of Jehovah that is 
 kindled against us, because our fathers 
 have not hearkened to the words of this 
 book, to do according to all that which is 
 written concerning us. 
 
 14 So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, 
 and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asahiah, 
 went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife 
 of Shallum the son of m Tikvah, the son of 
 IIHarhas, keeper of the twardrobe; (now 
 she dwelt in Jerusalem in the 'second part 
 of the city ;) and they 8 talked with her. 
 
 15 If And she said to them, Thus saith 
 Jehovah God of Israel, Tell the man who 
 sent you to me, 
 
 16 Thus saith Jehovah, Behold, n I will 
 bring evil upon this place, and upon the

 of their hands } therefore my wrath shall 
 be kindled against this place, and shall not

 18 But to nhe king of Judah who sent 
 you to inquire of Jehovah, thus shall ye 
 say to him, Thus saith Jehovah God of 
 Israel, ^Concerning the words which thou 
 hast heard; 
 
 19 Because thy 'heart was tender, and 
 thou hast "humbled thyself before Jeho- 
 vah, when thou heardest what I spoke 
 against this place, and against the inhabit- 
 ants thereof, that they should become 'a 
 desolation and 'a curse, and hast rent thy 
 clothes, and wept before me ; I also have 
 heard thee, saith Jehovah. 
 
 20 Behold therefore, I will gather thee to 
 thy fathers, and thou "shalt be gathered 
 into thy grave in peace; and thine eyes 
 shall not see all the evil which I will bring 
 upon this place. And they brought the 
 king word again. 
 
 CHAPTER XXIII. 
 
 1 Josiah causeth the book to be read in a solemn as- 
 sembly. 3 He reneweth the covenant of JEHOVAH. 
 4 He destroy eth idolatry. 15 He burnt dead men's 
 bones upon the altar of Beth-el, as was fore-pro- 
 phesied. 21 He kept a most solemn passover. 24 
 He put away witches and all abomination. 26 
 God's final wrath against Judah. 29 Josiah, pro- 
 voking Pharaoh-nechoh, is slain at Megiddo. 31 
 Jehoahaz, succeeding him, is imprisoned by Pha- 
 raoh-nechoh, who made Jehoiakim king. 36 Jeho- 
 iakim's wicked reign. 
 
 AND "the king sent, and they gathered 
 to him all the elders of Judah and of 
 Jerusalem. 
 
 2 And the king went up into the house 
 of Jehovah, and all the men of Judah and 
 all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, 
 and the priests, and the prophets, and all 
 the people, tboth small and great : and he 
 read in their 'hearing all the words of the 
 book of the covenant 'which was found in 
 the house of Jehovah. 
 
 3 If And the king c stood by 2 the pillar, and 
 made a covenant before Jehovah, to walk 
 after Jehovah, and to keep his command- 
 ments, and his testimonies, and his Ordi- 
 nances, with all his heart, and all his soul, 
 to perform the words of this covenant that 
 were written in this book. And Al the 
 people stood to the covenant. 
 
 4 And the king commanded Hilkiah lie 
 high priest, and the priests of the second 
 order, and the keepers of the door, to bring 
 forth 4 from the temple of Jehovah all the 
 vessels that were made for Baal, and for 
 d the grove, and for all the host of heaven : 
 and he burned them without Jerusalem in 
 the fields of Kidron, and carried the ashes 
 of them to Beth-el. 
 
 5 And he tput down tthe 5 idol-priests, 
 whom the kings of Judah had ordained to 
 burn incense in the high places in the cities 
 of Judah, and in the places round about 
 Jerusalem; those also that burned incense 
 to Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and 
 to the 6 twelve signs, and to e all the host of 
 heaven. 
 
 6 And he brought out the 'grove from the 
 
Josiah destroyeth idolatry. 
 
 CHAPTER XXIII. 
 
 house of Jehovah, without Jerusalem, to 
 the brook Kidron, and burned it at the 
 brook Kidron, and 7 beat it small to powder, 
 and cast the powder thereof on ff the graves 
 of the children of the people. 
 
 7 And he broke down the houses "of the 
 sodomites that were by the house of Jeho 
 vah, 'where the women wove thangings for 
 the grove. 
 
 8 And he brought all the priests out of 
 the cities of Judah, and defiled the high 
 places where the priests had burned in- 
 cense, from *Geba to Beer-sheba, and 
 broke down the high places of the gates 
 that were in the entering in of the gate of 
 Joshua the governor of the city, which were 
 on a man's left hand at the gate of the city. 
 
 9 'Nevertheless, the priests of the high 
 places came not up to the altar of Jehovah 
 in Jerusalem, "but they did eat of the un- 
 leavened bread among their brethren. 
 
 10 And he defiled "Topheth, which is in 
 "the valley of the 8 son of Hinnom, p that no 
 man might make his son or his daughter 9 
 pass through the fire to Molech. 
 
 11 And he took away the horses which 
 the kings of Judah had given to the sun, at 
 the entering in of the house of Jehovah, by 
 the chamber of Nathan-melech the ||cham- 
 berlain, which was in the suburbs, and 
 burned the chariots of the sun with fire. 
 
 12 And the altars which were 'on the top 
 of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the 
 kings of Judah had made, and the altars 
 which r Manasseh had made in the two 
 courts of the house of Jehovah, did the 
 king beat down, and ||broke them down 
 from thence, and cast the dust of them 
 into the brook Kidron. 
 
 13 And the high places that were before 
 Jerusalem, which were on the right hand 
 of ||the mount of Corruption, which 'Solo- 
 mon the king of Israel had builded for 
 Ashtoreth the abomination of the Zidoni- 
 ans, and for Chemosh the abomination of 
 the Moabites, and for Milcom the abomi- 
 nation of the children of Ammon, did the 
 king defile. 
 
 14 And he 'broke in pieces the '"statues, 
 and cut down the groves, and filled their 
 places with the bones of men. 
 
 15 If Moreover, the altar that was- at 
 Beth-el, and the high place "which Jero- 
 boam the son of Nebat, who made Israel 
 to sin, had made, both that altar and the 
 high place he broke down, and burned the 
 high place, and "beat it small to powder, 
 and burned the grove. 
 
 16 And as Josiah turned himself, he 12 saw 
 the sepulchres that were there in the mount, 
 and sent, and took the bones out of the 
 sepulchres, and burned them on the altar, 
 and polluted it, according to the x word of 
 Jehovah which the man of God ' had' pro- 
 claimed, who proclaimed these words. 
 
 17 Then he said, What I3 pillar is that 
 which I see? And the men of the city 
 told him, It is *the sepulchre of the man 
 of God, who came from Judah, and pro- 
 claimed these things that thou hast done 
 against the altar of Beth-el.

 places that were "in the cities of Samaria, 
 which the kings of Israel had made to pro- 
 voke JEHOVAH, 14 Josiah took away, 
 and did to them according to all the acts 
 that he had done in Beth-el. 
 
 20 And 'he || c slew all the priests of the 
 high places that were there upon the altars, 
 and ''burned men's bones on them, and 
 returned to Jerusalem. 
 
 21 If And the king commanded all the 
 people, saying, 'Keep the passover to Je- 
 hovah your God, 'as it is written in the 
 book of this covenant. 
 
 22 Surely s there was not holden such a 
 passover from the days of the judges that 
 judged Israel, nor in all the days of the 
 kings of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah ; 
 
 23 But in the eighteenth year of king 
 Josiah, wherein this passover was holden 
 to Jehovah in Jerusalem. 
 
 24 If Moreover, * 15 those who had familiar 
 spirits, and the wizards, and the ||images, 
 and the idols, and all the abominations 
 that were I6 seen in the land of Judah and 
 in Jerusalem, did Josiah put away, that he 
 might perform the words of 'the law which 
 were written in the book that Hilkiah the 
 priest ' had' found in the house of Jehovah. 
 
 25 *And "there was no king before him 
 like him, that turned to Jehovah with all 
 his heart, and with all his soul, and with 
 all his might, according to all the law of 
 Moses ; neither after him arose there any 
 like him. 
 
 26 If Notwithstanding, Jehovah turned 
 not from the fierceness of his great wrath, 
 wherewith his anger was kindled against 
 Judah, 'because of all the tprovocations 
 18 with which Manasseh had provoked him. ,9 
 
 27 And Jehovah said, I will remove Ju- 
 dah also out of my sight, as m I have re- 
 moved Israel, and will cast off this city 
 Jerusalem which I have chosen, and the 
 house of which I said, "My name shall be 
 there. 
 
 28 Now the rest of .the acts of Josiah, and 
 all that he did, are they not written in 
 the book of the Chronicles of the kings of 
 Judah ? 
 
 29 t "In his days Pharaoh -nechoh king of 
 Egypt went up against the king of Assyria 
 to the river Euphrates : and king Josiah 
 went against him; and he slew him at 
 p Megiddo, when he 'had seen him. 
 
 30 "And his servants carried him in a 
 chariot dead from Megiddq, and brought 
 him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his 
 own sepulchre. And 'the people of the 
 land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and 
 anointed him, and made him king in his 
 father's stead. 
 
 31 ^ || Jehoahaz was twenty and three years 
 old when he began to reign ; and he reigned 
 three months in Jerusalem. And his mo- 
 ther's name was 'Hamutal, the daughter 
 of Jeremiah of Libnah. 
 
 32 And he did 20 evil in the sight of Jeho- 
 vah, according to all that his fathers had 
 done. 
 
 33 And Pharaoh-nechoh put him in bands 
 "at Riblah in the land of Hamath, ||that he 
 might not reign in Jerusalem; and tput 
 
 a fine on the land of a hundred talents 
 of silver, and a talent of gold. 
 
 34 And ^Pharaoh-nechoh made Eliakim 
 the son of Josiah king in the room of Jo- 
 
 291 
 
Jerusalem is besieged 
 
 siah his father, and "^changed his name to 
 'Jehoiakim, and took Jehoahaz away: "and 
 he came to Egypt, and died there. 
 
 35 And Jehoiakim gave 'the silver and 
 the gold to Pharaoh; but he ^estimated 
 (he land to give the money according to 
 the commandment of Pharaoh: he exacted 
 the silver and the gold of the people of the 
 land, of every one according to his ^esti- 
 mation, to give it to Pharaoh-nechoh. 
 
 36 If 'Jehoiakim was twenty and five years 
 old when he began to reign ; and he reigned 
 eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mo 
 ther's name was Zebudah, the daughter of 
 Pedaiah of Rumah. 
 
 37 And he did M evil in the sight of Jeho- 
 vah, according to all that his fathers had 
 done. 
 
 CHAPTER XXIV. 
 
 1 Jehoiakim, first subdued by Nebuchadnezzar, then 
 rebelling against him, procureth his own ruin. 
 5 Jehoiachin succeedeth him. 7 The king of Egypt 
 is vanquished by the king of Babylon. 8 Jehoia- 
 chin's evil reign. 10 Jerusalem is taken and car- 
 ried captive into Babylon. 17 Zedekiah is made 
 king, and reigneth ill to the utter destruction of 
 Judah. 
 
 IN "his days Nebuchadnezzar king of 
 Babylon came up, a nd Jehoiakim became 
 his servant three years: then he turned 
 and rebelled against him. 
 
 2 'And Jehovah sent against him bands 
 of the Chaldees, and bands of the Syrians, 
 and bands of the Moabites, and bands of 
 the children of Ammon, and sent them 
 against Judah to destroy it, "according to 
 the word of Jehovah, which he spoke Thy 
 his servants the prophets. 
 
 3 Surely l by the commandment of Jeho- 
 vah came this upon Judah, to remove them 
 out of his sight, d for the sins of Manasseh, 
 according to all that he did ; 
 
 4 "And also for the innocent blood that he 
 shed, (for he filled Jerusalem with innocent 
 blood,) which Jehovah would not pardon. 
 
 5 *f Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, 
 and all that he did, are they not written in 
 the book of the Chronicles of the kings of 
 Judah? 
 
 6 'So Jehoiakim 2 lay with his fathers : and 
 Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead. 
 
 7 And f the king of Egypt came not again 
 any more out of nis land : for *the king of 
 Babylon had taken from the 3 torrent of 
 Egypt to the river Euphrates all that ''be- 
 longed to the king of Egypt. 
 
 8 Tf II 'Jehoiachin was eighteen years old 
 when he began to reign, and he reigned in 
 Jerusalem three months. And his mo- 
 ther's name was Nehushta, the daughter 
 of Elnathan of Jerusalem. 
 
 9 And he did 5 evil in the sight of Jeho- 
 vah, according to all that his father had 
 done. 
 
 10 II s At that time the servants of Nebu- 
 chadnezzar king of Babylon came up 
 against Jerusalem, and the city twas be- 
 sieged. 
 
 11 And Nebuchadnezzar king of Baby- 
 lon came against the city, and his servants 
 did besiege it. 
 
 12 'And Jehoiachin the king of Judah 
 went out to the king of Babylon, he, and 
 his mother, and his servants, and his 
 princes, and his ||officers: m and the king 
 of Babylon "took him "in the eighth year 
 of his reign. \

 of Jehovah, r as Jehovah had said.

 "all the craftsmen, and smiths: none re-

 16 And x all the men of might, even seven 
 thousand, and craftsmen and smiths a 
 thousand, all that were strong and fit for 
 war, even them the king of Babylon brought 
 captives to Babylon. 
 
 17 If And a the king of Babylon made Mat- 
 taniah 'his 9 uncle king in his stead, and 
 'changed his name to Zedekiah. 
 
 18 d Zedekiah was twenty and one years 
 old when he began to reign, and he reigned 
 eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mo- 
 ther's name was 'Hamutal, the daughter 
 of Jeremiah of Libnah. 
 
 19 'And he did ,0 evil in the sight of Je- 
 hovah, according to all that Jehoiakim had 
 done. 
 
 20 For through the anger of Jehovah it 
 came to pass in Jerusalem, and Judah, un- 
 til he had cast them out from his presence, 
 *that Zedekiah rebelled against the king of 
 Babylon. 
 
 CHAPTER XXV. 
 
 1 Jerusalem is besieged. 4 Zedekiah taken, his sons 
 slain, his eyes put out. 8 Nebuzar-adan defaceth 
 the city, c'arrieth the remnant, except a few poor 
 labourers, into captivity, 13 spoileth and carrieth 
 away the treasures. 18 The nobles are slain at 
 Riblah. 22 Gedaliah, who was set over them, that 
 remained, being slain, the rest flee into Egypt. 27 
 Evil-merodach advanceth Jehoiachin in his court. 
 
 AND it came to pass "in the ninth year 
 of his reign, in the tenth month, 
 in the tenth day of the month, that Nebu- 
 chadnezzar king of Babylon came, he, and 
 all his host, against Jerusalem, and pitched 
 against it; and they built 'towers against 
 it round about. 
 
 2 And the city was besieged to the eleventh 
 year of king Zedekiah. 
 
 3 And on the ninth day of the fourth 
 month the famine prevailed in the city, and 
 there was 
 land. 
 
 no 2 food for the people of the 
 
 4 % And the city was broken 3 open, and 
 all the men of war fled by night by the way 
 of the gate between two walls, which is by 
 the king's garden: (now the Chaldees were 
 against the city round about;) and d the Icing 
 went the way towards the plain. 
 
 5 And the army of the Chaldees pursued 
 after the king, and overtook him in the 
 plains of Jericho : and all his army 4 was 
 scattered from him. 
 
 6 So they ^seized the king, and brought 
 him up to the king of Babylon 'to Riblah ; 
 and they tgave judgment upon him. 
 
 7 And they slew the sons of Zedekiah 
 before his eyes, and t'put out the eyes of 
 Zedekiah, and bound Trim with fetters of 
 brass, and carried him to Babylon. 
 
Jerusalem again taken. 
 
 8 If And in the fifth month, *on the se- 
 venth day of the month, (which is "the 
 nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar 
 king of Babylon,) 'came Nebuzar-adan, 
 llcaptain of the guard, a servant of the king 
 of Babylon, to Jerusalem : 
 
 9 *And he burnt the house of Jehovah, 
 'and the king's house, and all the houses 
 of Jerusalem, and every great 6 house burnt 
 he with fire. 
 
 10 And all the army of the Chaldees, that 
 ''was with the captain of the guard, "'broke 
 down the walls of Jerusalem round about. 
 
 11 "Now the rest of the people that were 
 left in the city, and the tfugitives that fell 
 away to the king of Babylon, with the 
 remnant of the multitude, did Nebuzar- 
 adan the captain of the guard carry away. 
 
 12 But the captain of the guard "left 
 ' some' of the poor of the land to be vine 
 dressers and husbandmen. 
 
 13 And p the «pillars of brass that were 
 in the house of Jehovah, and the bases, 
 and 'the brazen sea that was in the house 
 of Jehovah, did the Chaldees break in 
 pieces, and carried the brass of them to 
 Babylon. 
 
 14 And 'the pots, and the shovels, and 
 the snuffers, and the spoons, and all the 
 vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, 
 they took away. 
 
 15 And the fire-pans, and the bowls, and 
 such things as were of gold, in gold, and 
 of silver, in silver, the captain of the guard 
 took away. 
 
 16 The two pillars, tone sea, and the 
 bases which Solomon had made for the 
 house of Jehovah ; "the brass of all these 
 vessels was without weight. 
 
 17 r The height of the one pillar was 
 eighteen cubits, and the 8 capital on it was 
 brass : and the height of the 9 capital three 
 cubits ; and the wreathen work, and pome- 
 granates on the '"capital round about, all 
 of brass : and like to these had the second 
 pillar with wreathen work. 
 
 18 ^f "And the captain of the guard took 
 *Seraiah the chief priest, and "Zephaniah 
 the second priest, and the three keepers 
 of the tdoor : 
 
 19 And out of the city he took an ||officer 
 that was set over the men of war, and 'five 
 men of those who twere in the king's pre-

 23 And when all the 'captains of the ar- 
 mies, they and their men, heard that the 
 king of Babylon had made Gedaliah go- 
 vernor, there came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, 
 even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and 
 Johanan the son of Careah, and Seraiah 
 the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, 
 and Jaazaniah the son of a Maachathite, 
 they and their men. 
 
 24 And Gedaliah swore to them, and to 
 their men, and said to them, Fear not to 
 be the servants of the Chaldees : dwell in 
 the land, and serve the king of Babylon, 
 and it shall be well with you. 
 
 25 But '"it came to pass in the seventh 
 month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, 
 the son of Elishama, of the 1 12 royal family, 
 came, and ten men with him, and smote 
 Gedaliah, ' so' that he died, and the Jews 
 and the Chaldees that were with him at 
 Mizpah. 
 
 26 And all the people, both small and 
 great, and the captains of the armies, 
 arose, g and came to Egypt : for they were 
 afraid of the Chaldees. 
 
 27 U A And it came to pass in the seven 
 and thirtieth year of the captivity of Je- 
 hoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth 
 month, on the seven and twentieth day 
 of the month, that Evil-merodach king of 
 Babylon in the year that he began to reign 
 'did lift up the head of Jehoiachin king of 
 Judah out of prison ; 
 
 28 And he spoke tkindly to him, and set 
 his throne above the throne of the kings 
 who were with him in Babylon ; 
 
 29 And changed his prison garments: 
 and he did l eat l3 food continually before 
 him all the days of his life. 
 
 30 And his allowance .was a continual 
 allowance given him 14 by the king, a daily 
 rate for 15 each day, all the days of his life.

 after their return from captivity 
 
 villages, were to come 'after seven days 
 from time to time with them. 
 
 26 For these Levites, the four chief por- 
 ters, were in their ||set office, and were over 
 the llchambers and treasuries of the house 
 of God. 
 
 27 U And they lodged round about the 
 house of God, because the charge was upon 
 them, and the opening thereof every morn- 
 ing ^belonged to them. 
 
 28 And l0 some of them had the charge of 
 the "vessels for the service, that they should 
 tbring them in and out by "number. 
 
 29 Some of them also were appointed to 
 oversee the vessels, and all the Hinstru- 
 ments of the sanctuary, and the fine flour, 
 and the wine, and the oil, and the frank- 
 incense, and the spices. 
 
 30 And some of the sons of the priests 
 made *the ointment of the spices. 
 
 31 And Mattithiah, one of the Levites, 
 who was the first-born of Shallum the 
 Korahite, had the || set office 'over the 
 things that were made ||in the pans. 
 
 32 And others of their brethren, of the 
 sons of the Kohathites, m were over the 
 t l3 arranged -bread, to prepare it u each sab- 
 bath. 
 
 33 And these are "the singers, chief of 
 the fathers of the Levites, who remaining 
 in the chambers were free : for tthey were 
 employed in that work day and night. 
 
 34 These chief fathers of the Levites 
 were chief throughout their generations ; 
 these dwelt at Jerusalem. 
 
 35 1[ And in Gibeon dwelt the father of 
 Gibeon, Jehiel, whose wife's name was 
 "Maachah : _ 
 
 36 And his first-born son Abdon, then 
 Zur, and Kish, and Baal, and'Ner, and 
 Nadab, 
 
 37 And Gedor, and Ahio, and Zechariah, 
 and Mikloth. 
 
 38 And Mikloth begot Shimeam. And 
 they also dwelt with their brethren at Je- 
 rusalem, over against their brethren. 
 
 39 *And Ner begot Kish ; and Kish begot 
 Saul ; and Saul begot Jonathan, and Mal- 
 chi-shua, and Abinadab, and Esh-baal. 
 
 40 And the son of Jonathan was Merib- 
 baal : and Merib-baal begot Micah. 
 
 41 And the sons of Micah were, Pithon, 
 and Melech, and Tahrea, q and Jihaz. 
 
 42 And Ahaz begot Jarah: and Jarah 
 begot Alemeth, and Azmaveth, and Zimri; 
 and Zimri begot Moza ; 
 
 43 And Moza begot Binea ; and Repha- 
 iah his son, Eleasah his son, Azel his son. 
 
 44 And Azel had six sons, whose names 
 are these, Azrikam, Bocheru, and Ishmael, 
 and Sheariah, and Obadiah, and Hanan: 
 these were the sons of Azel. 
 
 CHAPTER X. 
 
 1 SauVs overthrow and death. S The Philistines 
 triumph over Saul. 11 The kindness of Jabesh- 
 gilead towards Saul and his sons. 13 Saul's sin, 
 for which the kingdom was translated from him to 
 David. 
 
 NOW "the Philistines fought against Is- 
 rael ; and the men of Israel fled from 
 before the Philistines, and fell down ||slain 
 'on mount Gilboa. 
 
 2 And the Philistines followed hard after 
 Saul, and after his sons; and the Philis- 
 tines slew Jonathan, and ||Abinadab, and 
 Malchi-shua, the sons of Saul. 
 
 301 
 
SauVs overthroiv and death. 
 
 3 And the battle 2 was fierce against Saul, 
 and the tarchers thit him, and he was 
 wounded 3 by the archers. 
 
 4 Then said Saul to his armour-bearer, 
 Draw thy sword, and thrust me through 
 therewith, lest these uncircumcised come 
 and ||abuse me. But his armour-bearer 
 would not ; for he was 4 greatly afraid. So 
 Saul took a sword, and fell upon it. 
 
 5 And when his armour-bearer saw that 
 Saul was dead, he fell likewise on the 
 sword, and died. 
 
 6 So Saul died, and his three sons, and 
 all his house died together. 
 
 7 And when all the men of Israel that 
 were in the valley saw that they ' had' fled, 
 and that Saul ana his sons were dead, then 
 fhey forsook their cities, and fled : and the 
 Philistines came and dwelt in them. 
 
 8 1f And it came to pass on the morrow, 
 when the Philistines came to strip the slain, 
 that they found Saul and his sons fallen 
 s on mount Gilboa. 
 
 9 And when they had stripped him, they 
 took his head, and his armour, and sent 
 into the land of the Philistines round 
 about, to carry tidings to their idols, and 
 to the people. 
 
 10 'And they put his armour in the house 
 of their gods, and 6 nailed his head in the 
 temple of Dagon. 
 
 11 If And when all Jabesh-gilead heard 
 all that the Philistines had done to Saul, 
 
 12 They arose, all the valiant men, and 
 took away the body of Saul, and the bodies 
 of his sons, and brought them to Jabesh, 
 and buried their bones under the 'oak in 
 Jabesh, and fasted seven days. 
 
 13 If So Saul died for his transgression 
 which he t committed against Jehovah, 
 "even against the word of Jehovah, which 
 he kept not, and also for asking counsel of 
 8 a familiar spirit, d to inquire of it ; 
 
 14 And inquired not of Jehovah : there- 
 fore he slew him, and 'turned the kingdom 
 to David the son of tJesse. 
 
 CHAPTER XI. 
 
 1 David by a general consent is made king at He- 
 bron. 4 He winneth the castle of Zion from the 
 Jebusites by JoaWs valour. 10 A catalogue of 
 David's mighty men. 
 
 THEN "all Israel gathered themselves 
 to David to Hebron, saying, Behold, 
 we are thy bone and thy flesh. 
 
 2 And moreover tin time past, even when 
 Saul was king, thou wast he that leddest 
 out and broughtest in Israel: and Jehovah 
 thy God said to thee, Thou shalt || 'feed my 
 people Israel, and thou shalt be 'a prince 
 over my people Israel. 
 
 3 Therefore all the elders of Israel came 
 to the king 2 at Hebron; and David made a 
 covenant with them in Hebron before Je- 
 hovah ; and 'they anointed David king 
 over Israel, according to the word of Je- 
 hovah tby d Samuel. 
 
 4 If And David and all Israel 'went to 
 Jerusalem, which is Jebus; f where the 
 Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land, 
 
 5 And the inhabitants of Jebus said to 
 David, Thou shalt not come hither. Ne- 
 vertheless David took the castle of Zion, 
 which is the city of David. 
 
 6 And David said, whoever smiteth the 
 Jebusites first shall be tchief and captain.

 So Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, 
 and was chief. 
 
 7 And David dwelt in the castle ; there- 
 fore they called Hit, The city of David. 
 
 8 And he built the city round about, even 
 from Millo round about: and Joab trepaired 
 the rest of the city. 
 
 9 So David t 3 became greater and greater: 
 for Jehovah of hosts was with him. 
 
 1 ^f *These also ere the chief of the mighty 
 men whom David had, who Hstrengthened 
 themselves with him in his kingdom, and 
 with all Israel, to make him king according 
 to A the word of Jehovah concerning Israel. 
 
 11 And this is the number of the mighty 
 men whom David had; Jashobeam ||aHach- 
 monite, the chief of the 4 captains : he lifted 
 up his spear against three hundred slain by 
 him at one time. 
 
 12 And after him was Eleazar the son 
 of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the 
 three 5 mighty men. 
 
 13 He was with David at ||Pas-dammim, 
 and there the Philistines were gathered 
 together to battle, where ' there' was a 
 parcel of ground full of barley; and the 
 people fled from before the Philistines. 
 
 14 And they ||set themselves in the midst 
 of that parcel, and delivered it, and slew 
 the Philistines ; and Jehovah saved them 
 by a great ||deliverance. 
 
 15 If Now ||three of the thirty captains 
 'went down to the rock to David, into the 
 cave of Adullam ; and the host of the Phi- 
 listines ' had' encamped *in the valley of 
 Rephaim. 
 
 16 And David was then in the 6 fortress, 
 and the Philistines' garrison was then at 
 Beth-lehem. 
 
 17 And David longed, and said, Oh that 
 one would give me drink 'from the water 
 of the well of Beth-lehem, that is at the 
 gate! 
 
 18 And the three broke through the host 
 of the Philistines, and drew water out of 
 the well of Beth-lehem, that ivas by the 
 gate, and took it, and brought it to David : 
 but David would not drink of it, but poured 
 it out to Jehovah, 
 
 19 And said, My God forbid it me, that 
 I should do this thing: shall I drink the 
 blood of these men fwho 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. 
 
 20 If 'And Abishai the brother of Joab, he 
 was chief of the three : for lifting up his 
 spear against three hundred, he slew them, 
 and had a name among the three. 
 
 21 m Of the three, he was more honourable 
 than the two ; for he was their captain : 
 8 yet he attained not to the first three. 
 
 22 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son 
 of a valiant man of Kabzeel, twho had 
 done many acts; "he slew two lion-like 
 men of Moab; also he went down and 
 slew a lion in a pit in a snowy day. 
 
 23 And he slew an Egyptian, ta man of 
 great stature, five cubits high ; and in the 
 Egyptian's hand was a spear like a wea- 
 ver's beam ; and he went down to him with 
 a staff, and 'wrested the spear out of the 
 Egyptian's hand, and slew him with his 
 own spear. 
 
 24 These things did Benaiah the son of 
 
The armed troops that 
 
 Jehoiada, and had l0 a name among the three 
 "mighty men. 
 
 25 Behold, he was honourable among the 
 thirty, but attained not to the first three : 
 and David set him over his guard. 
 
 26 If Also the valiant men of the armies 
 were, "Asahel the brother of Joab, Elhanan

 7 And Joelah, and Zebadiah, the sons of

 8 And of the Gadites there separated 
 themselves to David "in the 3 fortress to the 
 4 waste region men of might, and men tof 
 w&r fit for the battle, 6 armed with shields 
 and bucklers, whose faces were like the 
 faces of lions, and were *tas swift as the 
 6 antelopes on the mountains; 
 
 9 Ezer the first, Obadiah the second, 
 Eliab the third, 
 
 10 Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the 
 fifth, 
 
 11 Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh, 
 
 12 Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth, 
 
 13 Jeremiah the tenth, Machbanai the 
 eleventh. 
 
 14 These were of the sons of Gad, captains 
 of the host : ||one of the least was over a 
 hundred, and the greatest over a thousand. 
 
 15 These are they who went over Jordan 
 in the first month, when it had toverflown 
 all its "banks; and they put to flight all 
 those of the valleys, both towards the east, 
 and towards the west. 
 
 16 And there came ' some' of the child- 
 ren of Benjamin and Judah to the 'fortress 
 to David. 
 
 17 And David went out tto meet them, 
 and 8 spoke and said to them, If ye be 
 come peaceably to me to help me, my heart 
 shall 9 be one with you : but if ye be come 
 to betray me to mine enemies, seeing there 
 is no ||wrong in my hands, the God of our 
 fathers look thereon, and rebuke it. 
 
 18 Then tthe spirit came on ^Amasai, who 
 was chief of the '"captains, and he said, 
 Thine are we, David, and on thy side, thou 
 son of Jesse: peace, peace be to thee, and 
 peace be to thy helpers ; for thy God help- 
 eth thee. Then David received them, and 
 made them captains of the band. 
 
 19 And there fell some of Manasseh to 
 David, s when he came with the Philistines 
 against Saul to battle : but they helped them 
 not : for the lords of the Phil istines "by coun- 
 sel sent him away, saying, ''He will fall to his 
 master Saul tto the jeopardy of our heads. 
 
 20 As he went to Ziklag, there fell to 
 him ' some' of Manasseh, Adnah, and Jo- 
 zabad, and Jediael, and Michael, and Jo- 
 zabad, and Elihu, and Zilthai, captains of 
 the thousands that were of Manasseh. 
 
 21 And they helped David ||against 'the 
 band of the n Amalekites : for they were all 
 mighty men of valour, and were captains 
 in the host. 
 
 22 For at that time day by day there came 
 ' some' to David to help him, until it was a 
 great host, like the host of God. 
 
 23 ^f And these are the numbers of the 
 |j tbands that were ,3 armed I4 for the war, 
 and 'came to David to Hebron, to 'turn 
 the kingdom of Saul to him, ""according to 
 the word of Jehovah. 
 
 24 The children of Judah that bore shield 
 and I5 lance ivere six thousand and eight 
 hundred, ready Harmed 16 for the war. 
 
 25 Of the children of Simeon, mighty 
 men of valour for the war, seven thousand 
 and one hundred. 
 
 26 Of the children of Levi four thousand 
 and six hundred. 
 
 27 And Jehoiada was the leader of the 
 Aaronites, and with him ivere three thou-

 29 And ot the children of Benjamin, the

 30 And of the children of Ephraim twenty

 battle, parrayed for war, forty thousand. 
 
 37 And on the other side of Jordan, of 
 the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and of 
 the half-tribe of Manasseh, with all ^kinds 
 of instruments of war for the battle, a 
 hundred and twenty thousand. 
 
 38 All these men of war, that could '"ar- 
 ray the ranks, came with a ^sincere heart 
 to Hebron, to make David king over all 
 Israel : and all the rest also of Israel were 
 of one heart to make David king. 
 
 39 And there they were with David three 
 days, eating and drinking : for their bre- 
 thren had prepared for them. 
 
 40 Moreover, those who were nigh them, 
 even to Issachar, and Zebulun, and Naph- 
 tali, brought bread on asses, and on camels, 
 and on mules, and on oxen, and [| 29 meal 
 for food, cakes of figs, and ^cakes of rai- 
 sins, and wine, and oil, and oxen, and 
 sheep abundantly: for there was joy in 
 Israel. 
 
 CHAPTER XIII. 
 
 1 David fetcheth the ark with great solemnity from 
 Kirjath-jearim. 9 Uzza being smitten, the ark 
 is left at the house of Obed-edom. 
 
 AND David consulted with the captains 
 of thousands, and hundreds, and with 
 every 'prince. 
 
 2 And David said to all the congregation 
 of Israel, If it seem good to you, and * it 
 be of Jehovah our God, tlet us send abroad 
 to our brethren every where, who are "left 
 in all the land of Israel, and with them also 
 to the priests and Levites who are tin their 
 cities and suburbs, that they may gather 
 themselves to us : 
 
 3 And let us tbring again the ark of our 
 God to us : 'for we inquired not at it in 
 the days of Saul. 
 
 4 And all the congregation said that they 
 would do so : for the thing was right in the 
 3 sight of all the people. 
 
 5 So "David gathered all Israel together,

 of Hemath, to bring the ark of God 'frores 
 Kirjath-jearim. 
 
 6 And David went up, and all Israel, to 
 'Baalah, that is, to Kirjath-jearim, which 
 belonged to Judah, to bring up 'from' thence 
 the ark of 'the' God Jehovah, *that dwell - 
 eth between the cherubim, 6 by whose name 
 it is named. 
 
 7 And they teamed the ark of God *in a 
 new cart 'out of the house of Abinadab ; 
 and Uzza and Ahio drove the cart. 
 
 8 *And David and all Israel played before 
 God with all their might, and with tsing- 
 mg, and with harps, and with psalteries, 
 and with tablets, and with cymbals, and 
 with trumpets. 
 
 9 U And when they came to the thresh- 
 ing-floor of HChidon, Uzza put forth his 
 hand to hold the ark; for the oxen ^kicked. 
 
 10 And the anger of Jehovah was kindled 
 against Uzza, and he smote him, 'because 
 he put his hand to the ark: and there he 
 "died before God. 
 
 11 And David was displeased because 
 the Lord had 8 burst forth upon Uzza: 
 wherefore that place is called UPerez-uzza 
 to this day. 
 
 12 And David was afraid of God that day, 
 saying, How shall I bring the ark of God 
 home to ^myself ? 
 
 13 So David tbrought not the ark home 
 to himself to the city of David, but carried 
 it aside into the house of Obed-edom the 
 Gittite. 
 
 14 "And the ark of God remained with 
 the family of Obed-edom in his house three 
 months. And Jehovah blessed "the house 
 of Obed-edom, and all that he had. 
 
 CHAPTER XIV. 
 
 1 Hiram's kindness to David. 2 David's felicity in 
 people, wives, and children. 8 His two victories 
 against the Philistines. 
 
 NOW "Hiram king of Tyre sent messen- 
 gers to David, and timber of cedars, 
 with masons and carpenters, to build him 
 a house. 
 
 2 And David perceived that Jehovah had 
 confirmed him king over Israel, for his 
 kingdom was lifted up on high, 'for the 
 sake of his people Israel. 
 
 3 If And David took tmore wives at Je- 
 rusalem : and David begot more sons and 
 daughters. 
 
 4 Now *these are the names of his child- 
 ren whom he had in Jerusalem; Shammua, 
 and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon, 
 
 5 And Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet, 
 
 6 And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia, 
 
 7 And Elishama, and ||Beeliada, ana Eli- 
 phalet. 
 
 8 If And when the. Philistines heard that 
 David was anointed king over all Israel, 
 all the Philistines went up to seek David. 
 And David heard of it, and went out 
 against them. 
 
 9 And the Philistines came and spread 
 themselves d in the valley of Rephaim. 
 
 10 And David inquired of God, saying, 
 Shall I go up against the Philistines ? and 
 wilt thou deliver them into my hand ? And 
 Jehovah said to him, Go up; for I will de- 
 liver them into thy hand. 
 
 11 So they came up to Baal-perazim ; and 
 David smote them there. Then David said , 
 God hath 2 burst in upon mine enemies by 
 my hand like the 3 bursting forth of waters : 
 
The ark brought up to Zion. 
 
 CHAPTERS XV. XVI. 
 
 Michal despiselh David. 
 
 therefore they called the name of that place 
 IIBaal-perazim. 
 
 12 And when they had left their gods 
 there, David gave a commandment, and 
 they were burned with fire. 
 
 13 'And the Philistines yet again spread 
 themselves abroad in the valley. 
 
 14 Therefore David inquired again of 
 God : and God said to him, Go not up 
 after them; turn away from them, 'and 
 come upon them over against the mul- 
 berry-trees. 
 
 15 And it shall be, when thou shalt hear 
 a sound of 4 marching in the tops of the 
 mulberry-trees, that then thou shalt go out 
 to battle: for God is gone forth before thee, 
 to smite the host of the Philistines. 
 
 16 David therefore did as God command- 
 ed him: and they smote the host of the 
 Philistines from °Gibeon even to Gazer. 
 
 17 And ''the fame of David went out into 
 all lands; and Jehovah 'brought the 6 dread 
 of him on all nations. 
 
 CHAPTER XV. 
 
 1 David, having ■prepared a place for the ark, order- 
 eth the priests and Levites to bring it from Obed- 
 edom. 25 He performeth the solemnity thereof with 
 great joy. 29 Michal despiseth him. 
 
 AND David made him houses in the city 
 of David, and prepared a place for the 
 ark of God, "and pitched a tent for it. 
 
 2 Then David said, tNone ought to carry 
 the *ark of God 'except the Levites : for 
 Jehovah hath chosen them to carry the 
 ark of God, and to minister to him for ever. 
 
 3 And David 'gathered all Israel together 
 to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of Jeho- 
 vah to its place, which he had prepared 
 for it. 
 
 4 And David assembled the children of 
 Aaron, and the Levites : 
 
 5 Of the sons of Kohath; Uriel the chief, 
 and his ||brethren a hundred and twenty: 
 
 6 Of the sons of Merari; Asaiah the chief, 
 and his brethren two hundred and twenty: 
 
 7 Of the sons of Gershom ; Joel the chief, 
 and his brethren a hundred and thirty: 
 
 8 Of the sons of d Elizaphan; Shemaiah 
 the chief, and his brethren two hundred : 
 
 9 Of the sons of 'Hebron; Eliel the chief, 
 and his brethren fourscore : 
 
 10 Of the sons of Uzziel ; Amminadab 
 the chief, and his brethren a hundred and 
 twelve. 
 
 11 And David called for Zadok and Abi- 
 athar the priests, and for the Levites, for 
 Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and 
 Eliel, and Amminadab, 
 
 12 And said to them, Ye are the chief of 
 the fathers of the Levites : sanctify your- 
 selves, both ye and your brethren, that ye 
 may bring up the ark of Jehovah God of 
 Israel to the place which I have prepared 
 for it. 
 
 13 For ' because ye did it not at the first, 
 ^Jehovah our God 2 burst forth upon us, 
 3 because we sought him not 4 according to 
 the 5 custom. 
 
 14 So the priests and the Levites sancti- 
 fied themselves to bring up the ark of Je- 
 hovah God of Israel. 
 
 15 And the children of the Levites bore 
 the ark of God on their shoulders with the 
 staves thereon, as A Moses commanded, ac- 
 cording to the word of Jehovah. 
 
 16 And David spoke to the chief of the

 Levites to appoint their brethren to be the 
 singers with instruments of music, psalte- 
 ries, and harps, and cymbals, sounding, by 
 lifting up the voice with joy. 
 
 17 So the Levites appointed 'Heman the 
 son of Joel ; and of his brethren, 'Asaph 
 the son of Berechiah ; and of the sons of 
 Merari their brethren, 'Ethan the son of 
 Kushaiah ; 
 
 18 And with them their brethren of the 
 second degree, Zechariah, Ben, and Jaazi- 
 el, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, 
 Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and 
 Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, 
 and Obed-edom, and Jeiel, the porters. 
 
 19 So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and 
 Ethan, were appointed to sound with cym- 
 bals of brass ; 
 
 20 And Zechariah, and ||Aziel, and She- 
 miramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, 
 and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with psalte- 
 ries m on 6 the high notes. 
 
 21 And Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and 
 Mikneiah, and Obed-edom, and Jeiel, and 
 Azaziah, with harps ||on the 'bass to 
 8 lead. 
 
 22 And Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, 
 \\was for 'the' tsong: he instructed about 
 the song, because he was skilful. 
 
 23 And Berechiah and Elkanah were 
 door-keepers for the ark. 
 
 24 And Shebaniah, and Jehoshaphat, and 
 Nethaneel, and Amasai, and Zechariah. 
 and Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, "did 
 blow with the trumpets before the ark of 
 God: and Obed-edom and Jehiah were 
 door-keepers for the ark. 
 
 25 If So "David and the elders of Israel, 
 and the captains over thousands, went to 
 bring up the ark of the covenant of Jeho- 
 vah 9 from the house of Obed-edom with 
 joy. 
 
 26 And it came to pass, when God helped 
 the Levites who bore the ark of the cove- 
 nant of Jehovah, that they offered seven 
 bullocks and seven rams. 
 
 27 And David was clothed with a robe 
 of fine linen, and all the Levites that bore 
 the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah 
 the master of the llsong with the singers: 
 David also had on him an ephod of linen. 
 
 28 p Thus all Israel brought up the ark of 
 the covenant of Jehovah with shouting, 
 and with sound of the cornet, and with 
 trumpets, and with cymbals, making a 
 10 sound with psalteries*and harps. 
 
 29 U And it came to pass, q as the ark of 
 the covenant of the Lord came to the city 
 of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul 
 looking out at a window saw king David 
 dancing and playing: and she despised 
 him in her heart. 
 
 CHAPTER XVI. 
 
 1 David's festival sacrifice. 4 He ordereth a choir 
 to sing thanksgiving. 7 The psalm of thanks- 
 giving. 37 He appointeth ministers, porters, 
 priests, and musicians, to attend continually on 
 the ark. 
 
 SO "they brought the ark of God, and set 
 it in the midst of the tent that David 
 had pitched for it : and they offered burnt - 
 sacrifices and 'thank-offerings before God. 
 2 And when David had made an end of 
 offering the burnt-offerings and the ^hank- 
 offerings, he blessed the people in the name 
 of Jehovah. 
 
 S05 
 
David's psalm of thanksgiving. 
 
 3 And he dealt to every one of Israel, 
 both man and woman, to every one a loaf 
 of bread, and a 3 measure of wine, and a 
 *cake of raisins. 
 
 4 U And he appointed s some of the Le- 
 vites to minister before the ark of Jeho- 
 vah, and to "celebrate, and to thank and 
 praise Jehovah God of Israel : 
 
 5 Asaph the chief, and next to him Ze- 
 chariah, Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Je- 
 hiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Be- 
 naiah, and Obed-edom: and Jeiel twith 
 psalteries and with harps ; but Asaph made 
 a sound with cymbals ; 
 
 6 Benaiah also and Jahaziel the priests 
 with trumpets continually before the ark 
 of the covenant of God. 
 
 7 If Then on that day David delivered 
 "first this psalm to thank Jehovah, into 
 the hand of Asaph and his brethren. 
 
 8 ''Give thanks to Jehovah, call on his 
 name, make known his deeds among the 
 people. 
 
 9 Sing to him," sing T songs to him, 8 sing 
 ye of all his wondrous works. 
 
 10 Glory ye in his holy name: let the 
 heart of those rejoice who seek Jehovah. 
 
 11 Seek Jehovah and his strength, seek 
 his face continually. 
 
 12 Remember his Vondrous works that 
 he hath done, his wonders, and the judg- 
 ments of his mouth ; 
 
 13 ye seed of Israel his servant, ye 
 children of Jacob, his chosen ones. 
 
 14 He is Jehovah our God; his judg- 
 ments are in all the earth. 
 
 15 Be ye mindful always of his covenant; 
 the word which he commanded to a thou- 
 sand generations ; 
 
 16 Even of the 'covenant which he made 
 with Abraham, and of his oath to Isaac ; 
 
 17 And hath confirmed the same to Ja- 
 cob, for I0 an ordinance, and to Israel for 
 an everlasting covenant, 
 
 18 Saying, To thee will I give the land 
 of Canaan, tthe lot of your inheritance ; 
 
 19 When ye were but tfew, %ven a few, 
 and strangers in it. 
 
 20 And when they went from nation to 
 nation, and from one kingdom to another 
 people ; 
 
 21 He suffered no man to do them wrong: 
 yea, he ^reproved kings for their sakes, 
 
 22 Saying, Touch not mine anointed, 
 and do my prophets no harm. 
 
 23 'Sing to Jehovah, all the earth; "pub- 
 lish from day to day his salvation. 
 
 24 Declare his glory among the heathen ; 
 his 12 wondrous works among all nations. 
 
 25 For great is Jehovah, and greatly to 
 be praised : he also is to be "reverenced 
 above all gods. 
 
 26 For all the gods *of the people are 
 idols : but Jehovah made the heavens. 
 
 27 Glory and honour are in his presence ; 
 strength and gladness are in his place. 
 
 28 Give to Jehovah, ye "families of the 
 people, give to Jehovah glory and strength. 
 
 29 Give to Jehovah the glory due to his 
 name : bring an offering, and come before 
 him : worship Jehovah in the beauty of 
 holiness. 
 
 30 15 Tremble before him, all the earth: 
 the world also shall be 16 firm, ' so' that it 
 be not moved.

 38 And Obed-edom with their brethren,

 NOW "it came to pass, as David sat in 
 his house, that David said to Nathan 
 the prophet, Lo, I dwell in a house of ce- 
 dars, but the ark of the covenant of Jeho- 
 vah remaineth under curtains. 
 
 2 Then Nathan said to David, Do all that 
 is in thy heart ; for God is with thee. 
 
 3 ^ And it came to pass the same night, 
 that the word of God came to Nathan, 
 saying, 
 
 4 Go and tell David my servant, Thus 
 saith Jehovah, Thou shalt not build me a 
 house to dwell in: 
 
 5 For I have not dwelt in a house since 
 the day that I brought up Israel to this 
 day : but thave gone from tent to tent, and 
 from one tabernacle to another. 
 
 6 Wheresoever I have walked with all 
 Israel, spoke I a word to any of the judges 
 of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my 
 people, saying, Why have ye not built me 
 a house of cedars? 
 
 7 Now therefore thus shalt thou say to 
 my servant David, Thus saith Jehovah of 
 
God's promises to David. 
 
 CHAPTER XVIII. 
 
 hosts, I took thee from the 'pasture, even 
 tfrom following the sheep, that thou should 
 est be 2 prince over my people Israel : 
 
 8 And I have been with thee whitherso- 
 ever thou hast walked, and have cut off all 
 thine enemies from before thee, and have 
 made thee a name like the name of the great 
 men that are in the earth. 
 
 9 Also I will "appoint a place for my 
 people Israel, and will plant them, and 
 they shall dwell in their place, and shall 
 be Misquieted no more; neither shall the 
 children of wickedness waste them any 
 more, as at the beginning, 
 
 10 And since the time that I commanded 
 judges to be over my people Israel. More- 
 over, I will subdue all thine enemies. 
 Furthermore, I tell thee that Jehovah will 
 build thee a house. 
 
 11 If And it shall come to pass, when thy 
 days 5 shall be fulfilled that thou must go 
 to be with thy fathers, that I will raise up 
 thy seed after thee, who shall be of thy 
 sons ; and I will establish his kingdom. 
 
 12 He shall build me a house, and I will 
 establish his throne for ever. 
 
 13 6 I will be his father, and he shall be 
 my son : and I will not take my 6 kindness 
 away from him, as I took it from him who 
 was before thee : 
 
 14 But T will settle him in my house and 
 in my kingdom for ever : and his throne 
 shall be 7 steadfast for evermore. 
 
 15 According to all these words, and ac- 
 cording to allthis vision, so did Nathan 
 speak to David. 
 
 16 If d8 Then David the king Vent and 
 sat before Jehovah, and said, Who am I, 
 O Jehovah God, and what is my house, 
 that thou hast brought me hitherto.? 
 
 17 And yet this was a small thing in 10 thy 
 sight, O God ; for thou hast also spoken of 
 thy servant's house for a great while to 
 come, and hast regarded me according to 
 the estate of a man of high degree, O Je- 
 hovah God. 
 
 18 What can David speak more to thee 
 for the honour of thy servant ? for thou 
 knowest thy servant. 
 
 19 Jehovah, for thy servant's sake, and 
 according to thine own heart, hast thou 
 done all this greatness, in making known 
 all these tgreat things. 
 
 20 O Jehovah, there is none like thee, nei- 
 ther is there any God besides thee, accord- 
 ing to all that we have heard with our ears. 
 
 21 And what one nation in the earth is 
 like thy people Israel, whom God went to 
 redeem, to be his own people, to make 
 thyself a name of greatness and terrible- 
 ness, by driving out nations from before 
 thy people, whom thou hast redeemed out 
 of Egypt ? 
 
 22 For thy people Israel didst thou make 
 thine own people for ever; and thou, Je 
 hovah, becamest their God. 
 
 23 "And now, Jehovah, let the thing that 
 thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, 
 and concerning his house, be established 
 for ever, and do as thou hast said. 
 
 24 Let it even be established, that thy 
 name may be magnified for ever, saying, 
 Jehovah of hosts is the God of Israel, 
 even a God to Israel : and let the house of 
 David thy servant be established before 
 thee.

 CHAPTER XVIII. 
 
 1 David subdueth the Philistines and the Moabites. 
 3 He smiteth Hadarezer and the Syrians. 9 Tou 
 sendeth Hadoram with presents to bless David. 11 
 The presents and the spoil David dedicateth to 
 God. 13 He putteth garrisons in Edom. 14 Da- 
 vid's officers. 
 
 NOW after this "it came to pass that 
 David smote the Philistines, and sub- 
 dued them, and took Gath and its towns 
 out of the hand of the Philistines. 
 
 2 And he smote Moab; and the Moabites 
 became David's servants, and brought 
 gifts. 
 
 3 If And David smote ||Hadarezer king 
 of Zobah . ' even' to Hamath, 'when he went 
 to establish his dominion by the river Eu- 
 phrates. 
 
 4 And David took from him a thousand 
 chariots, and 'seven thousand horsemen, 
 and twenty thousand footmen : David also 
 "hamstringed all the chariot-Wses, but re- 
 served ' enough' of them 'for' a hundred 
 chariots. 
 
 5 And when the Syrians of tDamascus 
 came to help Hadarezer king of Zobah, 
 David slew of the Syrians two and twenty 
 thousand men. 
 
 6 Then David put garrisons in Syria- 
 damascus; and the Syrians became Da- 
 vid's servants, and brought gifts. Thus 
 Jehovah preserved David whithersoever 
 he went. 
 
 7 And David took the shields of gold that 
 were on the servants of Hadarezer, and 
 brought them to Jerusalem. 
 
 8 Likewise from ||Tibhath, and from Chun, 
 cities of Hadarezer, 3 took David 4 a great 
 quantity of brass, wherewith 'Solomon 
 made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and 
 the vessels of brass. 
 
 9 t Now when ||Tou king of Hamath 
 heard how David had smitten all the host 
 of Hadarezer king of Zobah ; 
 
 10 He sent || Hadoram his son to king 
 David, || to inquire Concerning his welfare, 
 and tto congratulate him, because he had 
 fought against Hadarezer, and smitten 
 him ; (for Hadarezer thad war with Tou ;) 
 and with him all kinds of vessels of gold, 
 and silver, and brass. 
 
 11 f Them also king David dedicated to 
 Jehovah, with the silver and the gold 
 which he ' had' brought from all these na- 
 tions; from Edom, and from Moab, and 
 from the children of Amnion, and from the 
 Philistines, and from Amalek. 
 
 12 Moreover, tAbishai the son of Zeruiah 
 slew of the Edomites in the valley of Salt 
 ^eighteen thousand. 
 
 13 ^ 'And he put garrisons in Edom; and 
 all the Edomites became David's servants. 
 Thus Jehovah preserved David whither- 
 soever he went. 
 
 14 If 6 And David reigned over all Israel,

The Ammonites and Syrians

 15 And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over

 lud, ||recorder ; 
 
 16 And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and 
 IIAbimelech the son of Abiathar, were the 
 priests; and ||Shavsha was scribe j 
 
 17 'And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was 
 over the Cherethites and the Pelethites ; 
 and the sons of David were chief tabout 
 the king. 
 
 CHAPTER XIX. 
 
 1 David's messengers, sent to comfort Hanun the son 
 of Nahash, are villanously entreated. 6 The Am- 
 monites, strengthened by the Syrians, are overcome 
 by Joab and Abishai. 16 Shophach, making a new 
 supply of the Syrians, is slain by David. 
 
 NOW "it came to pass after this, that 
 Nahash the king of the children of 
 Ammon died, and his son reigned in his 
 stead. 
 
 2 And David said, I will shew kindness 
 to Hanun the son of Nahash, because his 
 father shewed kindness to me. And Da- 
 vid sent messengers to comfort him con- 
 cerning his father. So the servants of Da- 
 vid came into the land of the children of 
 Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him.. 
 
 3 But the princes of the children of Am- 
 mon said to Hanun, tThinkest thou that 
 David doth honour thy father, that he hath 
 sent comforters to thee? are not his ser- 
 vants come to thee ' to search, and to over- 
 throw, and to spy out the land ? 
 
 4 Wherefore Hanun took David's ser- 
 vants, and shaved them, and cut off their 
 garments in the midst 2 by their hips, and 
 sent them away. - 
 
 5 Then 3 some went and told David Con- 
 cerning the men. And he sent to meet 
 them : for the men were greatly ashamed. 
 And the king said, Tarry at Jericho until 
 your beards *are grown, and then return. 
 
 6 IfAnd when the children of Ammon 
 saw that they had made themselves t Plate- 
 ful to David, Hanun and the children of 
 Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver 
 to hire them chariots and horsemen 'from 
 Mesopotamia, and 8 from Syria-maachah, 
 'and 9 from Zobah. 
 
 7 So they hired thirty and two thousand 
 chariots, and the king of Maachah and his 
 people, who came and pitched before Me- 
 deba. And the children of Ammon ga- 
 thered themselves together from their cities, 
 and came to battle. 
 
 8 And when David heard of it, he sent 
 Joab, and all the host of the mighty men. 
 
 9 And the children of Ammon came out, 
 and put the battle in array before the gate 
 of the city : and the kings 10 who had come 
 were by themselves in the field. 
 
 10 Now when Joab saw that tthe battle 
 was set against him before and behind, he 
 chose out 'some' of all the Hchoice of Is- 
 rael, and put them in array against the 
 Syrians. 
 
 11 And the rest of the people he delivered 
 into the hand of tAbishai his brother, and 
 they set themselves in array against the 
 children of Ammon. 
 
 12 And he said, If the Syrians be too 
 strong for me, then thou shalt help me: 
 but if the children of Ammon be too strong 
 for thee, then I will help thee.

 14 So Joab and the people that were with 
 him drew nigh before the Syrians to the 
 battle ; and they fled before him. 
 
 15 And when the children of Ammon saw 
 that the Syrians had fled, they likewise fled 
 before Abishai his brother, and entered into 
 the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem. 
 
 16 If And when the Syrians saw that they 
 were "smitten before Israel, they sent mes- 
 sengers, and 12 brought forth the Syrians who 
 were beyond the ||nver: and || Shophach the 
 captain of the host of Hadarezer went be- 
 fore them. 
 
 17 And it was told David ; and he gather- 
 ed all Israel, and passed over Jordan, and 
 came upon them, and set the battle in array 
 against them. So when David had put the 
 battle in array against the Syrians, they 
 fought with him. 
 
 18 But the Syrians fled before Israel ; 
 and David slew of the Syrians seven thou- 
 sand men who fought in chariots, and forty 
 thousand footmen, and killed Shophach the 
 captain of the host. 
 
 19 And when the servants of Hadarezer 
 saw that they were "smitten before Israel, 
 they made peace with David, and became 
 his servants: neither would the Syrians 
 help the children of Ammon any more. 
 
 CHAPTER XX. 
 
 1 Rabbah is besieged by Juab, spoiled by David, and 
 the people thereof tortured. 4 Three giants are 
 slain in three several overthrows of the Philistines. 
 
 AND "it came to pass, that tafter the 
 year was expired, at the time when 
 kings go out to battle, Joab led forth the 
 power of the army, and wasted the country 
 of the children of Ammon, and came and 
 besieged Rabbah. But David tarried at 
 Jerusalem. And 'Joab smote Rabbah, and 
 destroyed it. 
 
 2 And David "took the crown of their 
 king from ' his head, and found it tto weigh 
 a talent of gold, and there were precious 
 stones in it; and it was set on David's 
 head : and he brought also 2 a great quan- 
 tity of spoil 3 from the city. 
 
 3 And he brought out the people who were 
 in it, and cut them with saws, and with 
 *tlireshing-sledges of iron, and with axes. 
 Even so David dealt with all the cities of 
 the children of Ammon. And David and 
 all the people returned to Jerusalem. 
 
 4 U And it came to pass after this, ''that 
 there Utarose war at ||Gezer with the Phi- 
 listines: 5 then 'Sibbechai the Hushathite 
 slew ||Sippai, 6 who was one of the children 
 of ||the giant: and they were subdued. 
 
 5 And there was war again with the Phi- 
 listines; and Elhanan the son of IfJair slew 
 Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, 
 whose spear's staff' was like a weaver's 
 beam. 
 
 6 And yet again f there was war at Gath, 
 where was ta man of great stature, whose 
 fingers and toes were four and twenty, six 
 on each hand, and six on each foot: and he 
 also was 'born to the giant. 
 
 7 8 And when he ||defied Israel, Jonathan 
 the son of UShimea, David's brother, slew 
 him.

 CHAPTER XXI. 
 
 1 David, tempted by Satan, forceth Joab to number 
 the people. 5 The number of the people being 
 brought, David repenteth of it. 9 David having 
 three plagues propounded by Gad, chooseth the 
 pestilence. 14 After the death of seventy thousand, 
 David by repentance preventetk the destruction of 
 Jerusalem. 18 David, by Gad's direction, purchas- 
 eth Oman's threshing-floor : where having built 
 an altar, God givelh a sign of his favour by fire, 
 and stayeth the plague. 2S David sacrificeth there, 
 being restrained from Gibeon by fear of the angel. 
 
 AND "Satan stood up against Israel, and 
 'moved David to number Israel. 
 
 2 And David said to Joab and to the 
 rulers of the people, Go, number Israel 
 from Beer-sheba even to Dan; 'and bring *■ ■ 
 the number of them to me, that I may 
 know it. 
 
 3 And Joab answered, Jehovah make his 
 people a hundred times 2 more than they 
 are : but, my lord the king, are they not 
 all my lord's servants ? why then doth my 
 lord require this thing ? why will he be a 
 cause of trespass to Israel ? 
 
 4 Nevertheless the king's word prevailed 
 against Joab. 3 And Joab departed, and 
 went throughout all Israel, and came to 
 Jerusalem. 
 
 5 "[f And Joab gave the sum of the num- 
 ber of the people to David. And all those 
 of Israel were a thousand thousand and a 
 hundred thousand men that drew sword : 
 and Judah was four hundred threescore 
 and ten thousand men that drew sword. 
 
 6 c But 4 he did not count Levi and Benja 
 min among them 
 abominable to Joab 
 
 7 tAnd God was displeased with this 
 thing, therefore he smote Israel. 
 
 8 And David said to God, d I have sinned 
 greatly, because I have done this thing : 
 £ but now, I beseech thee, 5 take away the 
 iniquity of thy servant; for I have done 
 very foolishly. 
 
 9 If And Jehovah spoke to Gad, David's 
 'seer, saying, 
 
 10 Go and tell David, saying, Thus saith 
 Jehovah, I toffer thee three things; choose 
 thyself one of them, that I may do it to 
 thee. 
 
 11 So Gad came to David, and said to 
 him, Thus saith Jehovah, tChoose thyself, 
 
 12 ^Either three years' famine ; or three 
 months to be destroyed before thy foes, 
 while 8 the sword of thine enemies over- 
 taketh thee ; or else three days the sword 
 -of Jehovah, even the pestilence, in the 
 land, and the angel of Jehovah destroying 
 throughout all the 7 regions of Israel. Now 
 therefore "consider what word I shall bring 
 again to him who sent me. 
 
 13 And David said to Gad, I am in a 
 great strait : let me fall now into the hand 
 of Jehovah ; for very llgreat are his mer- 
 cies : but let me not fall into the hand of 
 man. 
 
 14 If So Jehovah sent pestilence on Is- 
 rael : and there fell of Israel seventy thou- 
 sand men. 
 
 15 And God sent an "angel to Jerusalem 
 to destroy it: and as he was destroying, 
 Jehovah beheld, and * he repented of 
 the evil, and said to the angel that destroy-

 the angel of Jehovah stood by the thresh- 
 ing-floor of HOrnan the Jebusite. 
 
 16 And David lifted up his eyes, and *saw 
 the angel of Jehovah stand between the 
 earth and the heaven, having a drawn sword 
 in his hand, stretched out over Jerusalem. 
 Then David and the elders, 9 clothed in 
 sackcloth, fell on their faces. 
 
 17 And David said to God, Is it not I 
 that commanded the people to be num- 
 bered ? even I it is that have sinned and 
 done evil indeed ; but as for these sheep, 
 what have they done ? let thy hand, I pray 
 thee, O Jehovah my God, be on me, and 
 on my father's house ; but not on thy peo- 
 ple, that they should be plagued. 
 
 18 If Then the 'angel of Jehovah com- 
 manded Gad to say to David, that David 
 should go up, and set up an altar to Jeho- 
 vah in the threshing-floor of Oman the 
 Jebusite. 
 
 19 And David went up at the saying of 
 Gad, which he spoke in the name of Jeho- 
 vah. 
 
 20 l|And Oman turned back, and saw the 
 angel; and Ins four sons with him hid 
 themselves. Now Oman was threshing 
 wheat. 
 
 21 And as David came to Oman, Oman 
 looked, and saw David, and went out of 
 the threshing-floor, and bowed himself to 
 David with /lis face to the ground. 
 
 22 Then David said to Oman, tGrant me 
 the place of this threshing-floor, that I may 
 build an altar therein to Jehovah: thou 
 shalt grant it 'to' me for the full price: 
 that the plague may be stayed from the 
 people. 
 
 23 And Oman said to David, Take it to 
 thyself, and let my lord the king do that 
 which is good in his I0 sight : lo, I give thee 
 the oxen also for burnt-offerings, and the 
 threshing- u rollers for wood, and the wheat 
 for the I2 meal-offering ; I give it all. 
 
 24 And king David said to Oman, Nay ; 
 but I will 13 surely buy it for the full price: 
 for I will not take that which is thine for 
 Jehovah, nor offer burnt-offerings without 
 cost. 
 
 25 So "David gave to Oman for the place 
 six hundred shekels of gold by weight. 
 
 26 And David built there an altar to Je- 
 hovah, and offered burnt-offerings and 
 l4 thank-offerings, and called on Jehovah ; 
 and "he answered him from heaven by fire 
 upon the altar of burnt-offering. 
 
 27 And Jehovah commanded the angel ; 
 and he put up his sword again into 15 its 
 sheath 16 . ■ 
 
 28 f At that time when David saw that 
 Jehovah had answered him in the thresh- 
 ing-floor of Oman the Jebusite, then he 
 sacrificed there. 
 
 29 "For the tabernacle of Jehovah, which 
 Moses ' had' made in the "desert, and the 
 altar of the burnt-offering, were at that 
 season in the high place at p Gibeon. 
 
 30 But David could not go before it to 
 inquire of God : for he was afraid because 
 of the sword of the angel of Jehovah. 
 
 CHAPTER XXII. 
 
 1 David, foreknowing the place of the temple, pre- 
 pareth abundance for the building of it. 6 He 
 instructeth Solomon in God's promises, and his

David's charge to Solomon. 
 
 duty in building the temple. 17 He chargeth the 
 princes to assist his son. 
 
 THEN David said, "This is the house 
 of Jehovah God, and this is the altar 
 of the burnt-offering for Israel. 
 
 2 And David commanded to gather to- 
 gether 'the strangers who were in the land 
 of Israel ; and he set 'stone-cutters to hew 
 wrought stones to build the house of God. 
 
 3 And David prepared iron in abundance 
 tor the nails for the doors of the gates, and 
 for the joinings; and brass in abundance 
 c vvithout weight ; 
 
 4 Also cedar-trees in abundance : for the 
 ''Zidonians and those of Tyre brought 
 much cedar -wood to David. 
 
 5 And David said, 'Solomon my son is 
 young and tender, and the house that is to 
 be built for Jehovah must be exceedingly 
 2 great, famous and 4 glorious throughout all 
 countries : I will therefore now make pre- 
 paration for it. So David prepared abun- 
 dantly before his death. 
 
 6 1 Then he called for Solomon his son, 
 and charged him to build a house for Je- 
 hovah God of Israel. 
 
 7 And David said to Solomon, My son, 
 as for me, ! it was in my mind to build a 
 house *to the name of Jehovah my God. 
 
 8 But the word of Jehovah came to me, 
 saying, Thou hast shed blood abundantly, 
 and hast made great wars: thou shalt not 
 build a house 4 for my name, because thou 
 hast shed much blood on the earth in my 
 sight. 
 
 9 'Behold, a son shall be born to thee, 
 who shall be a man of rest ; and I will 
 give him *rest from all his enemies 5 around : 
 for his name shall be ||Solomon, and I will 
 give peace and quietness to Israel in his 
 days. 
 
 10 'He shall build a house for my name ; 
 and m he shall be my son, and I will be his 
 father ; and I will establish the throne of 
 his kingdom over Israel for ever. _ 
 
 11 Now, my son, "Jehovah be with thee; 
 and prosper thou, and build the house of 
 Jehovah thy God, as he hath said of thee. 
 
 12 Only Jehovah "give thee wisdom and 
 understanding, and give thee charge con- 
 cerning Israel, that thou mayest keep the 
 law of Jehovah thy God. 
 
 13 ''Then shalt thou prosper, if thou tak- 
 est heed to fulfil the Ordinances and judg- 
 ments which Jehovah charged Moses with 
 concerning Israel : ? be strong, and of good 
 courage ; dread not, nor be dismayed. 
 
 14 Now behold, ||in my trouble I have 
 prepared for the house of Jehovah a hun- 
 dred thousand talents of gold, and a thou- 
 sand 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. 
 
 15 Moreover, there are workmen with thee 
 in abundance, hewers and ||workers of 
 9tone and timber, and all 'kinds of 8 skilful 
 men for every 9 kind of work. 
 
 16 Of the gold, the^ silver, and the brass, 
 and the iron, there is no number. Arise, 
 therefore, and be doing, and 'Jehovah be 
 with thee. 
 
 17 ^ David also commanded all the princes 
 of Israel to help Solomon his son, saying, 
 
 18 Is not Jehovah your God with you ? 
 'and hath he not given you rest on every

 CHAPTER XXIII. 
 
 1 David in his old age makelh Solomon king. 2 
 The number and distribution of the Levites. 7 
 The families of the Gershonites. 12 The sons of 
 Kohath. 21 The sons of Merari. 24 The office of 
 the Levites. 
 
 SO when David was old and full of days, 
 he made "Solomon his son king over 
 Israel. 
 
 2 If And he gathered together all the 
 
 frinces of Israel, with the priests and the 
 -evites. 
 
 3 Now the Levites were numbered from 
 the age of 'thirty years and upwards : and 
 their number by their 'heads, man by man, 
 was thirty and eight thousand. 
 
 4 Of whom, twenty and four thousand 
 were to 2 oversee the work of the house of 
 the Lord ; and six thousand were 'officers 
 and judges : 
 
 5 Moreover, four thousand were porters ; 
 and four thousand praised Jehovah with 
 the instruments ''which I made, said Da- 
 vid, to praise therewith. 
 
 6 And 'David divided them into tcourses 
 among the sons of Levi, namely, Gershon, 
 Kohath, and Merari. 
 
 7 \ Of the 'Gershonites were ||Laadan and 
 Shimei. 
 
 8 The sons of Laadan; the chief was 
 Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three. 
 
 9 The sons of Shimei; Shelomith, and 
 Haziel, and Haran, three. These were 
 the chiefs of the fathers of Laadan. 
 
 10 And the sons of Shimei were, Jaha<h, 
 ||Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah. These four 
 were the sons of Shimei. 
 
 11 And Jahath was the chief, and Zizah 
 the second : but Jeush and Beriah fhad not 
 many sons; therefore they were in one 
 reckoning, according to their father's house. 
 
 12 If «The sons of Kohath; Amram, Izhar, 
 Hebron, and Uzziel, four. 
 
 13 The sons of *Amram ; Aaron and 
 Moses : and 'Aaron was separated, that he 
 should sanctify the most holy things, he 
 and his sons for ever, Ho burn incense be- 
 fore Jehovah, ! to minister to him, and ""to 
 bless in his name for ever. 
 
 14 Now concerning Moses the man of 
 God, "his sons were named of the tribe of 
 Levi. 
 
 15 "The sons of Moses were, Gershom, 
 and Eliezer. 
 
 16 Of the sons of Gershom, p ||Shebuel 
 was the chief. 
 
 17 And the sons of Eliezer were, «Reha- 
 biah ||the chief. And Eliezer had none 
 other sons ; but the son9 of Rehabiah twere 
 very many. 
 
 18 Of the sons of Izhar; ||Shelomith the 
 chief. 
 
 19 'Of the sons of Hebron; Jeriah the 
 first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the 
 third, and Jekameam the fourth. 
 
The office of the Levites.

 20 Of the sons of Uzziel ; Micah the first, 
 and Jesiah the second. 
 
 21 f 'The sons of Merari; Mahli, and 
 Mushi. The sons of Mahli ; Eleazar, and 
 'Kish. 
 
 22 And Eleazar died, and "had no sons, 
 but daughters: and their ||brethren the 
 sons of Kish *took them. 
 
 23 »The sons of Mushi ; Mahli, and Eder, 
 and Jeremoth, three. 
 
 24 If These were the sons of *Levi after 
 the house of their fathers ; even the chief 
 of the fathers, as they were counted by 
 number of names by their "heads, that did 
 the work for the service of the house of 
 Jehovah, from the age of "twenty years 
 and upwards. 
 
 25 For David said, Jehovah God of Is- 
 rael 'hath given rest to his people, 4 and he 
 will dwell in Jerusalem for ever ; 
 
 26 And also to the Levites: they shall 
 no more 'carry the tabernacle, nor any 
 vessels of it for the service thereof. 
 
 27 For by the last words of David the 
 Levites were tnumbered from twenty years 
 old and 5 upwards : 
 
 28 Because ttheir office was to wait on 
 the sons of Aaron for the service of the 
 house of Jehovah, in the courts, and in the 
 chambers, and in the purifying of all holy 
 things, and the work of the service of the 
 house of God ; 
 
 29 Both for d the 6 arranged-bread, and for 
 "the fine flour for 'meal-offering, and for 
 the unleavened cakes, and tor Hliat which 
 is * cooked in the Hpan, and for that which 
 is fried, and for all 9 kinds of "measure and 
 size ; 
 
 30 And to stand every morning to thank 
 and praise Jehovah, and likewise at "even- 
 ing ; 
 
 31 And to offer all burnt-sacrifices to 
 Jehovah 'on the sabbaths, on the new- 
 moons, and on the *set "times, by number, 
 according to the order commanded n them, 
 continually before Jehovah : 
 
 32 And that they should 'keep the charge 
 of the l3 tent of the congregation, and the 
 charge of the holy place, and m the charge 
 of the sons of Aaron their brethren, in the 
 service of the house of Jehovah. 
 
 CHAPTER XXIV. 
 
 1 The divisions of the sons of Aaron by lot into four 
 and twenty orders. 20 The Kohathites, 27 and the 
 Merarites divided by lot. 
 
 NOW these are the divisions of the sons 
 of Aaron. "The sons of Aaron ; Na- 
 dab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. 
 
 2 But 'Nadab and Abihu died before their 
 father, and had no children: therefore Ele- 
 azar and Ithamar executed the priest's 
 office. 
 
 3 And David distributed them, both Za- 
 dok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech 
 of the sons of Ithamar, according to their 
 offices in their service. 
 
 4 And there were more chief men found 
 of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of 
 Ithamar; and thus were they divided. 
 Among the sons of Eleazar there were 
 sixteen chief men of the house of their 
 fathers, and eight among the sons of Itha- 
 mar according to the house of their fathers 
 
 5 Thus were they divided by lot, one sort 
 with another ; for the governors of the sanc- 
 tuary, and governors of the house of God,

 the treasures. 29 Officers and judges. 
 
 CONCERNING the divisions of the por- 
 \^ ters: Of the Korhites was |]Meshele- 
 miah the son of Kore, of the sons of || Asaph. 
 
 2 And the sons of Meshelemiah were, 
 Zechariah the first-born, Jediael the se- 
 cond, Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the 
 fourth, 
 
 3 Elam the fifth, Jehohanan the sixth, 
 Elioenai the seventh. 
 
 4 Moreover the sons of Obed-edom were, 
 Shemaiah the first-born, Jehozabad the se- 
 cond, Joah the third, and Sacar the fourth, 
 and Nethaneel the fifth, 
 
 5 Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, 
 Peulthai the eighth: for God 'had' blessed 
 [| him. 
 
 6 And to Shemaiah his son were sons 
 born, who ruled throughout the house of 
 their father : for they were mighty men 
 of valour. 
 
 7 The sons of Shemaiah ; Othni, and Re- 
 phael, and Obed, Elzabad, whose brethren 
 were strong men, Elihu, and Semachiah. 
 
 8 *A11 these of the sons of Obed-edom :

 men for strength for the service, were 
 threescore and two of Obed-edom. 
 
 9 And Meshelemiah had sons and breth- 
 ren, strongmen, eighteen. 
 
 10 Also "Hosah of the children of Mera- 
 ri, had sons ; Simri the chief, (for though 
 he was not the first-born, yet his father 
 made him the chief;) 
 
 11 Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, 
 Zechariah the fourth : all the sons and 
 brethren of Hosah were thirteen. 
 
 12 Among these were the divisions of the 
 porters, even among the chief men, having 
 wards one against another, to minister in 
 the house of Jehovah. 
 
 13 f And they cast lots, Has well the small 
 as the great, according to the house of their 
 fathers, for every gate. 
 
 14 And the lot eastward fell to ||Shele- 
 miah. Then for Zechariah his son, a wise 
 counsellor, they cast lots; and his lot came 
 out northward. 
 
 15 To Obed-edom southward; and to his 
 sons the house of tAsuppim. 
 
 16 To Shuppim and Hosah the lot came 
 forth westward, with the gate Shallecheth, 
 by the causeway of the || 'ascent, ward 
 against ward. 
 
 17 Eastward were six Levites, northward 
 four a day, southward four a day, and to- 
 ward Asuppim, two and two. 
 
 18 At Parbar westward, four at the cause- 
 way, and two at Parbar. 
 
 19 These are the divisions of the porters 
 among the sons of Kore, and among the 
 sons of Merari.

 and hundreds, and the captains of the host 
 had 'hallowed. 
 
 27 tOut of the spoils won in battle did 
 they*hallow to maintain the house of Je- 
 hovah. 
 
 28 And all that Samuel 'the seer, and 
 Saul the son of Kish, and Abner the son 
 of Ner, and Joab the son of Zeruiah, had 
 * hallowed ; and whoever had fallowed 
 any thing, it was under the hand of She- 
 lomith, and of {lis brethren. 
 
 29 U Of the Izharites, Chenaniah and his 
 sons were for the outward business over 
 Israel, for^officers and judges. 
 
 30 And of the Hebronites, Hashabiah and 
 his brethren, men of valour, a thousand 
 and seven hundred, were tofficers among 
 schem of Israel on this side ' of Jordan 
 westward in all the business of Jehovah, 
 and in the service of the king. 
 
 31 Among the Hebronites was <Terijah 
 the chief, even among the Hebronites, ac- 
 cording to the generations of his fathers. 
 In the fortieth year of the reign of David 
 they were sought for, and there were found 
 among them mighty men of valour *at Ja- 
 zer of Gilead. 
 
 32 And his brethren, men of valour, were 
 two thousand and seven hundred chief 
 fathers, whom king David made rulers 
 over the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the

 because "Jehovah had said he would in- 
 crease Israel like to the stars of the heavens.

 CHAPTER XXVIII. 
 
 1 David in a solemn assembly having declared God's 
 favour to him, and promise to his son Solomon, 
 exhorteth them to fear God. 9, 20 He encourageth 
 Solomon to build the temple. 1 1 He giveth him 
 patterns for the form, and gold and silver for the 
 materials. 
 
 AND David assembled all the princes 
 of Israel, "the princes of the tribes, 
 and 'the captains of the companies who 
 ministered to the king 1 , and the captains 
 over the thousands, and captains over the 
 hundreds, and "the stewards over all the 
 substance and Upossession of the king, ||and 
 of his sons, with the ||officers, and with 
 ''the mighty men, and with all the valiant 
 men to Jerusalem. 
 
 2 Then David the king stood up on his 
 feet, and said, Hear me, my brethren, and 
 my people : 2 e I had 'if in my heart to 
 build a house of rest for the ark of the co- 
 venant of Jehovah, and for ^the footstool 
 of our God, and had made ready for the 
 building : 
 
 3 But God said to me, e Thou shalt not 
 build a house for my name, because thou 
 hast been a man of war, and hast shed 
 t blood. 
 
 4 s Yet Jehovah God of Israel "chose me 
 before all the house of my father to be 
 king over Israel for ever: for he hath 
 chosen 'Judah to be the 4 prince ; and of the 
 house of Judah, Hhe house of my father ; 
 and 'among the sons of my father he liked 
 me to make me king over all Israel : 
 
 5 m And of all my sons, (for Jehovah hath 
 given me many sons,) "he hath chosen So- 
 lomon my son to sit upon the throne of the 
 kingdom of Jehovah over Israel. 
 
 6 And he said to me, "Solomon thy son, 
 he shall build my house and my courts : 
 for I have chosen him to be my son, and I 
 will be his father.

 7 Moreover I will establish his kingdom 
 for ever, *if he be tconstant to do my com- 
 mandments and my judgments, as at this 
 day. 
 
 8 Now therefore in the sight of all Israel, 
 the congregation of Jehovah, and in the 
 bearing of our God, keep and seek for alt 
 the commandments of Jehovah your God i 
 that ye may possess this good land, and 
 leave it for an inheritance for your children 
 after you for ever. 
 
 9 If And thou, Solomon my son, 'know 
 thou the God of thy father, and serve him 
 'with a 6 sincere heart, and with a willing 
 mind: for -'Jehovah searcheth all hearts, 
 and understandeth all the imaginations of 
 the thoughts : 'if thou seek him, he will be 
 found 'by thee; but if thou forsake him, 
 he will cast thee off for ever. 
 
 10 Take heed now ; "for Jehovah hath 
 chosen thee to build a house for the sanc- 
 tuary i be strong, and do it. 
 
 11 If Then David gave to Solomon his 
 son "the pattern of the porch, and of the 
 houses thereof, and of the treasuries there- 
 of, and of the upper chambers thereof, and 
 of the inner ''chambers thereof, and of the 
 place of the mercy-seat, 
 
 12 And the pattern tof all that he had by 
 the Spirit, of the courts of the house of 
 Jehovah, and of all the chambers round 
 about, y of the treasuries of the house of 
 God, and of the treasuries of the dedicated 
 things : 
 
 13 Also for the courses of the priests and 
 the Levites, and for all the work of the 
 service of the house of Jehovah, and for 
 all the vessels of service in the house of 
 Jehovah. 
 
 14 He gave of gold by weight for things 
 of gold, for all instruments of all 9 kinds of 
 service ; silver also for all instruments of 
 silver by weight, for all instruments of 
 every kind of service : 
 
 15 Even the weight for the candlesticks 
 of gold, and for their lamps of gold, by 
 weight for 10 each candlestick, and for the 
 lamps thereof: and for the candlesticks 
 of silver by weight, both for the candle- 
 stick, and also for the lamps thereof, ac- 
 cording to the use of "each candlestick. 
 
 16 And by weight he gave gold for the 
 tables of ^arranged -bread, for "each table; 
 and likewise silver for the tables of silver: 
 
 17 Also pure gold for the flesh -hooks, and 
 the bowls, and the cups : and for the golden 
 basons he gave gold by weight for "each 
 goblet ; and likeivise silver by weight for 
 15 each goblet of silver : 
 
 18 And for the altar of incense refined 
 gold by weight ; and gold for the pattern 
 of the chariot of the 'cherubim, which 
 spread out their wings, and covered the 
 ark of the covenant of Jehovah. 
 
 19 All this, said David, "Jehovah made 
 me understand in writing by Ms hand upon 
 me, even all the works of this pattern. 
 
 20 And David said to Solomon his son, 
 b Be strong, and of good courage, and do 
 it: fear not, nor be dismayed, for Jehovah 
 God, even my God, will be with thee ; "he 
 will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until 
 thou 16 shalt have finished all the work for 
 the service of the house of Jehovah. 
 
 21 And behold, ''the courses of the priests 
 and the Levites, even they shall be win- 
 
The liberal offerings for the temple. 
 
 thee for all the service of the house of God": 
 and there shall be with thee for all manner 
 of workmanship 'every willing skilful man, 
 for any "kind of service : also the princes 
 and all the people will be wholly at thy 
 commandment. 
 
 CHAPTER XXIX. 
 
 I David, by his example and entreaty, 6 causeth the 
 princes and people to offer willingly. 10 David's 
 thanksgiving and prayer. 20 The people, having 
 blessed God, and sacrificed, make Solomon king. 
 26 David's reign and death. 
 
 FURTHERMORE David the king said 
 to 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 Je- 
 hovah God. 
 
 2 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, glittering stones, and of divers 
 colours, and all 'kinds of precious stones, 
 and ' white' marble stones in abundance. 
 
 3 Moreover, because I have Set my af- 
 fection 2 on the house of my God, I have 
 of mine own proper 'wealth, of gold and 
 silver, which Ihave given to the nouse of 
 my God, over and above all that I have 
 prepared for the holy house, 
 
 4 Even three thousand talents of gold, 
 of the gold of 'Ophir, and seven thousand 
 talents of refined silver, to overlay the 
 walls of the houses 4 : 
 
 5 The gold for things of gold, and the 
 silver for things of silver, and for all man- 
 ner of work to be made by the hands of 
 artificers. And who then is willing tto 
 consecrate his service this day to Jeho- 
 vah ? 
 
 6 If Then d the cliief of the fathers and 
 princes of the tribes of Israel, and the 
 captains of thousands and of hundreds, 
 with 'the rulers over the king's work, of- 
 fered willingly, 
 
 7 And gave for the service of the house 
 of God of gold five thousand talents and 
 ten thousand 5 drams, and of silver ten 
 thousand talents, and of brass eighteen 
 thousand talents, and one hundred thou- 
 sand talents of iron. 
 
 8 And those with whom precious stones 
 were found gave them to the treasure of 
 the house of Jehovah, by the hand of 'Je- 
 hiel the Gerghonite. 
 
 9Then the people rejoiced, ^because they 
 offered willingly, because with 7 a sincere 
 heart they ^offered willingly to Jehovah : 
 and David the king also rejoiced with great 
 joy. 
 
 10 If Wherefore David blessed Jehovah 
 before all the congregation: and David 
 said, Blessed be 8 Jehovah God of Israel 
 our father, for ever and ever. 
 
 11 "Thine, O Jehovah, is the greatness, 
 and the power, and the glory, and the vic- 
 tory, and the majesty: for all that is in 
 the heaven and in the earth is thine ; thine 
 is the kingdom, O Jehovah, and thou art 
 exalted as liead above all. 
 
 12 "Both riches and honour come 9 from 
 thee, and thou reignest over all; and in 
 thy hand is power and might; and in thy

 13 Now therefore, our God, we thank

 people, that we should tbe able to offer so 
 willingly after this sort? for all things

 15 For "we are strangers before thee, and 
 sojourners, as were all our fathers: 'our

 there is no tabiding. 
 
 16 O Jehovah our God, all this store 
 which we have prepared to build thee a 
 house for thy holy name cometh 12 from thy 
 hand, and is all thine own. 
 
 17 I know also, my God, that thou m trie9t

 ness. As for me, in the uprightness of my 
 heart I have willingly offered all these 
 things : and now have I seen with joy thy 
 
 fieopie, who are Upresent here, 13 offer wil- 
 ingly to thee. 
 
 18 O Jehovah God of Abraham, Isaac, 
 and of Israel, our fathers, keep this for 
 ever in the imagination of the thoughts of 
 the heart of thy people, and Uprepare their 
 heart I4 for thyself. 
 
 19 And "give to Solomon rny son a ''sin-

 20 If And David said to all the congrega- 
 tion, Now bless Jehovah your God. And 
 all the congregation blessed Jehovah God 
 of their fathers, and bowed down their 
 heads, and 19 made obeisance to Jehovah, 
 and the king. 
 
 21 And they sacrificed sacrifices to Je- 
 hovah, and offered burnt-offerings to Je- 
 hovah, 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 : 
 
 22 And did eat and drink before Jehovah 
 on that day with great gladness. And they 
 made Solomon the son of David king the 
 second time, and 'anointed Mm to Jeho- 
 vah to be the 20 prince, and Zadok to be 
 priest. 
 
 23 Then Solomon sat on the throne of 
 Jehovah as king instead of David his fa- 
 ther, and prospered ; and all Israel obey- 
 ed him. 
 
 24 And all the princes, and the mighty 
 men, and all the sons likewise of king Da- 
 vid, 'tsubmitted themselves to Solomon 
 the king. 
 
 25 And Jehovah magnified Solomon ex- 
 ceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and 
 'bestowed on him such royal majesty as 
 had not been on any king before him in 
 Israel. 
 
 26 If Thus David the son of Jesse reigned 
 over all Israel. 
 
 27 'And 'the time which he reigned over 
 Israel was forty years ; "seven years he 
 reigned in Hebron, and thirty and three 
 years he reigned in Jerusalem.

 CHAPTER I. 
 
 7 So- 
 li So- 
 
 1 The solemn offering of Solomon at Gibeon, 
 lomon's choice of wisdom is blessed by God 
 lomon's strength and wealth. 
 
 AND "Solomon the son of David was 
 strengthened in his kingdom, and Je- 
 hovah his God ivas with him., and "magni- 
 fied him exceedingly. 
 
 2 Then Solomon spoke to all Israel, to 
 ••the captains of thousands and of hundreds, 
 and to the judges, and to every governor 
 in all Israel, the chief of the fathers. 
 
 3 So Solomon, and all the congregation 
 with him, went to the high place that was 
 at 'Gibeon ; for there was the v tent of the 
 congregation of God, which Moses the 
 servant of Jehovah had made in the z desert. 
 
 4 'But the ark of God had David brought 
 up from Kirjath-jearim to the place which 
 David had prepared for it: for he had 
 pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem. 
 
 5 Moreover, *the brazen altar, which 
 "Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, 
 had made, ||he put before the tabernacle of 
 Jehovah : and Solomon and the congrega- 
 tion sought to it. 
 
 6 And Solomon went up thither to the 
 brazen altar before Jehovah, which was 
 at the *tent of the congregation, and Offer- 
 ed a thousand burnt-offerings on it. 
 
 7 -f In that night did God appear to So- 
 lomon, and said to him, Ask what I shall 
 give thee. 
 
 8 And Solomon said to God, Thou hast 
 shewed great 4 kindness to David my father, 
 and hast made me 'to reign in his stead. 
 
 9 Now, Jehovah God, let thy promise 
 to David my father be established ; ™ior 
 thou hast made me king over a people tlike 
 the dust of the earth in multitude. 
 
 10 "Give me now wisdom and knowledge, 
 that I may "go out and come in before this 
 people : for who can judge this thy people, 
 that is so great ? 
 
 11 p And God said to Solomon, Because 
 this was in thy heart, and thou hast not 
 asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the 
 life of thine enemies, neither yet hast ask- 
 ed long life ; but hast asked wisdom and 
 knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest 
 judge my people, over whom I have made 
 thee king : 
 
 12 Wisdom and knowledge 6 are granted 
 to thee; and I will give thee riches, and 
 wealth, and honour, such as 'none of the 
 kings have had who have been before thee, 
 neither shall 6 any after thee have the like. 
 
 13 ^ Then Solomon came from his jour- 
 ney to the high place which was at Gibeon 
 to Jerusalem, from before the 7 tent of the 
 congregation, and reigned over Israel. 
 
 14 'And Solomon gathered chariots and 
 horsemen: and he had a thousand and four 
 hundred chariots, and twelve thousand 
 horsemen, which he placed in the chariot- 
 cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.

 11 If Then Hurara the king of Tyre an- 
 swered in writing, which he sent to Solo- 
 mon, "Because Jehovah hath loved his 
 people, he hath made thee king over them. 
 
 12 Huram said moreover, "Blessed be Je- 
 hovah God of Israel, 'that made heaven 
 and earth, who hath given to David the 
 king a wise son, tendued with prudence 
 and understanding, that might build a 
 house for Jehovah, and a house for his 
 kingdom. 
 
 13 And now I have sent a "skilful man, 
 endued with understanding, of Hurara 
 my father's, 
 
 14 «The son of a woman of the daughters 
 of Dan, and his father was a man of Tyre, 
 skilful to work in gold, and in silver, in 
 brass, in iron, in stone, and in timber, in 
 purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in 
 crimson; also to engrave any "kind _ of 
 engraving, and to find out every device 
 which shall be put to him, with thy ,6 skilful 
 men, and with the "skilful men of my lord 
 David thy father. 
 
 15 Now therefore the wheat, and the 
 barley, the oil, and the wine which r my 
 lord bath spoken of, let him send to his 
 servants ; 
 
 16 'And we will cut wood out of Leba- 
 non, tas much as thou shalt need : and we 
 will bring it to thee in 18 rafts by sea to

 17 If *And Solomon numbered all tthe 
 strangers who were in'the land of Israel, 
 after the numbering wherewith "David his 
 father had numbered them; and they were 
 found ' to fee' a hundred and fifty thousand 
 and three thousand and six hundred. 
 
 18 And he set threescore and ten thou- 
 sand of them to be bearers of burdens, and 
 fourscore thousand to be hewers in the

 THEN "Solomon began to build the 
 house of Jehovah at 'Jerusalem in 
 mount Moriah, |] where JEHOVAH 'had' 
 appeared to David his father, in the place 
 which David had prepared in the thresh- 
 ing-floor of || c Ornan the Jebusite, 
 
 2 And he began to build in the second 
 day of the second month, in the fourth 
 year of his reign. 
 
 3 If Now these are the things i w!ierein 
 Solomon was tinstructed for the building 
 of the house of God. The length by cubits 
 after the first measure was threescore 
 cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits. 
 
 4 And the "porch that was in the front 
 of the house, the length of it was accord- 
 ing to the breadth of the house, twenty 
 cubits, and the height was a hundred and 
 twenty: and he overlaid it within with 
 pure gold. 
 
 5 And 'the greater house he ceiled with 
 'cypress-tree, which he overlaid with fine 
 gold,and set thereon palm-trees and chains. 
 
 6 And he tgarnished the house with pre-

 the temple, five on the right hand, and five 
 on the left. 
 
 8 A He made also ten tables, and placed 
 them in the temple, five on the right side, 
 and five on the left. And he made a hun- 
 dred Hbasons of gold. 
 
 9 If Furthermore 'he made the court of 
 the priests, and the great court, and doors 
 for the court, and overlaid the doors of 
 them with brass. 
 
 10 And *he set the sea on the right side 
 of the east end, over against the south. 
 
 11 And 'Huram made the pots, and the 
 shovels, and the ||basons. And Huram 
 tfinished the work which he was to make 
 for king Solomon for the house of God ; 
 
 12 * Namely, the two pillars, and "*the 
 'globes, and the Capitals which were on 
 the top of the two pillars, and the two 
 wreaths to cover the two 9 globes of the 
 '"capitals which were on the top of the 
 pillars ; 
 
 13 And "four hundred pomegranates on 
 the two wreaths; two rows of pomegra- 
 nates on each wreath, to cover the two 
 "globes of the ^capitals which were ton 
 the pillars. 
 
 14 He made also "bases, and ||lavers made 
 he on the bases ; 
 
 15 One sea, and twelve oxen under it. 
 
 16 The pots also, and the shovels, and 
 the flesh-nooks, and all their instruments, 
 did p Huram his father make "for king So- 
 lomon for the house of Jehovah, of ^polish- 
 ed brass. 
 
 17 'In the plain of Jordan did the king 
 cast them, in the tclay ground between 
 Succoth and Zeredathan. 
 
 18 'Thus Solomon made all these vessels 
 in great abundance : for the weight of the 
 brass could not be found out. 
 
 19 f And 'Solomon made all the vessels 
 which were for the house of God, the 
 golden altar also, and the tables whereon 
 'the 15 presence-bread was set; 
 
 20 Moreover the candlesticks with their 
 lamps, that they should burn " 16 according 
 to the custom before the oracle, of pure 
 gold ; 
 
 21 And x the flowers, and the lamps, and 
 the tongs, made he o/gold, and that f'the 
 purest gold ; 
 
 22 And the snuffers, and the ||basons, 
 and the spoons, and the censers, of pure 
 gold : and the 18 entrance of the house, the 
 inner doors thereof for the most holy place, 
 and the doors of the house of the temple, 
 were of gold.

 The ark brought into the oracle. 
 
 of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, 
 the z princes of the fathers of the children 
 of Israel, to Jerusalem, to bring up the 
 ark of the covenant of Jehovah e *from the 
 city of David, which is Zion. 
 
 3 d Wherefore all the men of Israel as- 
 sembled themselves to the king *in the 
 feast which was in the seventh month. 
 
 4 And all the elders of Israel came; and 
 the Levites took up the ark. 
 
 5 And they brought up the ark, and the 
 4 tent of the congregation, and all the holy 
 vessels that were in the 6 tent, these did the 
 priests and the Levites bring up. 
 
 6 Also king Solomon, and all the con- 
 gregation of Israel who were assembled to 
 him before the ark, sacrificed sheep and 
 oxen, which could not be 6 counted nor 
 numbered for multitude. 
 
 7 And the priests brought in the ark of 
 the covenant of Jehovah to its place, to 
 the oracle of the house, into the most holy 
 place, even under the wings of the che- 
 rubim : 
 
 8 For the cherubim spread forth their 
 wings over the place of the ark, and the 
 cherubim covered the ark, and the staves 
 thereof above. 
 
 9 And they drew out the staves of the 
 ark, ' so' that the ends of the staves were 
 seen from the ark before the oracle ; but 
 they were not seen without. And Hthere 
 it is to this day. 
 
 10 There was nothing in the ark 'except 
 the two tables which Moses / put therein at 
 Horeb, ||when Jehovah made a covenant 
 with the children of Israel, when they 
 came out of Egypt. 
 
 11 If And it came to pass, when the 
 priests were come out 8 from the holy place: 
 (for all the priests who were tpresent were 
 sanctified, and did not then 9 watch by 
 course : 
 
 12 *Also the Levites who were the singers, 
 all of them of Asaph, of Heman, of Je- 
 duthun,_ with their sons and their breth- 
 ren ; being arrayed in white linen, having 
 cymbals and psalteries and harps, stood at 
 the east end of the altar, ''and with them a 
 hundred and twenty priests sounding with 
 trumpets :) 
 
 13 It even came to pass, as the trumpeters 
 and singers were as one, to make one sound 
 to be heard in praising and thanking Je- 
 hovah; and when they lifted up their 
 voice with the trumpets and cymbals and 
 instruments of music, and praised Jeho- 
 vah, saying, *Tor he is good ; for his "kind- 
 ness endureth for ever : that then the house 
 was filled with a cloud, even the house of 
 Jehovah ; 
 
 14 So that the priests could not stand to 
 minister by reason of the cloud : 'for the 
 glory of Jehovah had filled the house of 
 God. 
 
 CHAPTER VI. 
 
 1 Solomon, having blessed the people, blesseth God. 
 12 Solomon's prayer in the consecration of the 
 temple, upon the brazen scaffold. 
 
 THEN "said Solomon, Jehovah hath 
 said that he would dwell in the 'thick 
 darkness. 
 
 2 But I have built a house of habitation 
 for thee, and a place for thy dwelling for 
 ever. 
 
 3 And the king turned his face, and bless- 
 
Salomon's prayer at the 
 
 ed the whole congregation of Israel : and 
 all the congregation of Israel stood. 
 
 4 And he said, Blessed be Jehovah God 
 ©f Israel, who hath with his hands fulfilled 
 that which he spoke with his mouth to my 
 father David, saying, 
 
 5 Since the day 'when I brought forth my 
 people 2 from the land of Egypt I chose no 
 city among all the tribes of Israel to build 
 a house in, that my name might be there ; 
 neither chose I any man to be a s prince 
 over my people Israel : 
 
 6 'But I have chosen Jerusalem, that my 
 name might be there; and ^have chosen 
 David to be over my people Israel. 
 
 7 Now "it was in the heart of David my 
 father to build a house for the name of Je- 
 hovah God of Israel ; 
 
 8 But Jehovah said to David my father, 
 'Inasmuch as it was in thy heart to^ build 
 a house for my name, thou didst well in 
 that it was in thy heart: 
 
 9 5 Yet, thou shalt not build the house; 
 but thy son who shall come forth 6 from thy 
 loins, he shall build the house for my name. 
 
 10 Jehovah therefore hath performed his 
 word which he hath spoken : for I am risen 
 up in the room of David my father, and 
 am set on the throne of Israel, as Jehovah 
 promised, and have built the house for the 
 name of Jehovah God of Israel. 
 
 11 And in it have I put the ark, Avherein 
 is the covenant of Jehovah, which he 
 made with the children of Israel. 
 
 12 If ff And he stood before the altar of 
 Jehovah in the presence of all the congre- 
 gation of Israel, and spread forth his hands : 
 
 13 (For Solomon had made a brazen scaf- 
 fold, of five cubits tlong, 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 on his knees be- 
 fore all the congregation of Israel, and 
 spread forth his hands towards heaven,) 
 
 14 And said, O Jehovah God of Israel, 
 Hhere. is no God like thee fn the heaven, 
 nor in the earth; who keepest covenant, 
 and shewest 'kindness to thy servants, 
 who walk before thee with all their hearts : 
 
 15 'Thou who hast kept with thy servant 
 David my father that which thou hast pro- 
 mised him; and Midst speak with thy 
 mouth, and hast fulfilled it with thy hand, 
 as it is this day. 
 
 16 Now therefore, O Jehovah God of 
 Israel, keep with thy servant David my 
 father that which thou hast promised him, 
 saying, *tThere shall not fail thee a man 
 in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel ; 
 "provided that thy children take heed to 
 their way to walk in my law, as thou hast 
 walked before me. 
 
 17 Now then, O Jehovah God of Israel, 
 let thy word be verified, which thou hast 
 spoken to thy servant David. 
 
 18 But will God ""indeed dwell with men 
 on the earth? ""Behold, heaven and the 
 heaven of heavens cannot contain thee ; 
 how much less this house which I have 
 built ! 
 
 19 Have respect therefore to the prayer 
 of thy servant, and to his supplication, 
 Jehovah my God, to hearken to the cry 
 and the prayer which thy servant prayeth 
 before thee : 
 
 20 That thine eyes may be open on this

 CHAPTER VII. 
 
 1 God having given testimony to Solomon's prayer 
 by fire from heaven, and glory in the temple, the 
 people worship him. 4 Solomon's solemn sacrifice. 
 8 Solomon having kept the feast of booths, and 
 the feast of the dedication of the altar, dismisseth 
 the people. 12 God appearing to Solomon giveth 
 him promises upon condition. 
 
 NOW "when Solomon had made an end 
 of praying, the 'fire came down from 
 heaven, ana consumed the burnt-offering 
 and the sacrifices ; and the glory of Jeho- 
 vah filled the house. 
 
 2 ''And the priests could not enter into 
 the house of Jehovah, because the glory 
 of Jehovah had filled Jehovah's house. 
 
 3 And when all the children of Israel 
 saw how the fire came down, and the 
 
 flory of Jehovah upon the house, they 
 owed themselves with their faces to the 
 ground upon the pavement, and worship- 
 ped, and praised Jehovah, 'saying, For he 
 is good; -for his 'kindness endureth for ever. 
 
 4 If e Then the king and all the people 
 offered sacrifices before Jehovah. 
 
 5 And king Solomon offered a sacrifice 
 of twenty and two thousand oxen, and a 
 hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So 
 the king and all the people dedicated the 
 house of God. 
 
 6 *And the priests waited on their offices : 
 the Levites also with instruments of music 
 of Jehovah, which David the king had 
 made to praise Jehovah, because his 2 kind- 
 ness endureth for ever, when David praised 
 tby their ministry ; and 'the priests sound-

 7 Moreover *8olomon hallowed the mid- 
 dle of the court that was before the house 
 of Jehovah : for there he offered burnt- 
 offerings, and the fat of the ^hank-offer- 
 ings, because the brazen altar which Solo- 
 mon had made was not able to receive the 
 burnt-offerings, and the meat-offerings, 
 and the fat. 
 
 8 If '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 to "the 4 torrent of 
 Egypt. 
 
 9 And on the eighth day they made ta 
 solemn assembly : for they kept the dedi- 
 cation of the altar seven days, and the 
 feast seven days. 
 
 10 Ajnd "on the three and twentieth day 
 of the seventh month he sent the people 
 away to their tents, glad and merry in 
 heart for the goodness which Jehovah had 
 shewed to David, and to Solomon, and to 
 Israel his people. 
 
 11 Thus "Solomon finished the house of 
 Jehovah, and the king's house: and all 
 that came into Solomon's heart to make in 
 the house of Jehovah, and in his own 
 house, he prosperously effected. 
 
 12 _1f And Jehovah appeared to Solomon 
 by night, and said to him, I have heard thy 
 prayer, p and have chosen this place to my- 
 self for a house of sacrifice. 
 
 13 6 Behold «if I shut up heaven that there 
 be no rain, or if I command the locusts to

 they forsook Jehovah God of their fathers, 
 who brought them forth out of the land of

 left Solomon made tributaries ; but the Israelites 
 rulers. 11 Pharaoh's daughter removeth to her 
 house. 12 Solomon's yearly solemn sacrifices. 14 
 He appointeth the priests and Levites to their 
 places. 17 The navy fetcheth gold from Ophir. 
 
 AND °it came to pass at the end of 
 twenty years, wherein Solomon had 
 built the house of Jehovah, and his own 
 house, 
 
 2 That the cities which Huram had re- 
 stored to Solomon, Solomon built them, 
 and caused the children of Israel to dwell 
 there. 
 
 3 And Solomon went to Hamath-zobah, 
 and prevailed against it. 
 
 4 'And he built Tadmor in the wilder- 
 ness, and all the store-cities, which he 
 built in Hamath. 
 
 5 Also he built Beth-horon the upper, 
 and Beth-horon the 'lower, fortified cities, 
 with walls, gates, and bars ; 
 
 6 And Baalath, and all the store-cities 
 which Solomon had, and all the chariot- 
 cities, and the cities of the horsemen, and 
 tall which Solomon desired to build in Je- 
 rusalem, and in Lebanon, and through all 
 the land of his dominion. 
 
 7 \ V?s for all the people that were left 
 of the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the 
 Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Je- 
 busites, who were not of Israel, 
 
 8 But of their children, who were left 
 after them in the land, whom the children 
 of Israel consumed not, them did Solomon 
 make to pay tribute until this day. 
 
 9 But of the children of Israel did Solo- 
 mon make no servants for his work ; but 
 they were men of war, and chief of his 
 2 warriors, and captains of his 'chariots and 
 horsemen. 
 
 10 And these were the chief of king So- 
 lomon's officers, even ''two hundred and 
 fifty, that bore rule over the people. 
 
 11 If And Solomon 'brought up the daugh- 
 ter of Pharaoh out of the city of David to 
 the house which he had built for her : for 
 he said, My wife shall not dwell in the 
 house of David king of Israel, because the 
 places are tholy, whereunto the ark of Je- 
 hovah hath come, 
 
 12 If Then Solomon offered burnt-offer- 
 ings to Jehovah on the altar of Jehovah, 
 which he had built before the porch, 
 
 13 Even after a certain rate -^every day, 
 offering according to the commandment 
 of Moses, on the sabbaths, and on the 
 new-moons, and on the Appointed times, 
 K three times in the year, even in the feast 
 of unleavened bread, and in the feast of 
 weeks, and in the feast of 4 booths. 
 
 14 If And he appointed, according to the 
 5 custom of David his father, the ''courses 
 of the priests to their service, and 'the 
 Levites to their charges, to praise and mi- 
 nister before the priests, as the duty of 
 6 each day required : the "porters also by

 Completed.

 and to ||Eloth, at the sea-side in the land 
 of Edom. 
 
 18 m And Huram sent him by the hands 
 of his servants, ships, and servants who 
 had knowledge of the sea ; and they went 
 with the servants of Solomon to Ophir, 
 and took thence four hundred and fifty 
 talents of gold, and brought them to king 
 Solomon. 
 
 CHAPTER IX. 
 
 1 The queen of Sheba admireth the wisdom of Solomon. 
 13 Solomon's gold. 15 His shields. 17 The throne 
 of ivory. 20 His vessels. 23 His presents. 25 His 
 chariots and horse. 26 His tributes. 29 His reign 
 and death. 
 
 AND "when the queen of Sheba heard 
 of the fame of Solomon, she came to 
 prove Solomon with hard questions at Je- 
 rusalem, with a very great 'train, and ca- 
 mels that bore spices, and gold in abund- 
 ance, and precious stones : and when she 
 was come to Solomon, she 2 talked with 
 him 'concerning all that was in her heart. 
 
 2 And Solomon told her all her questions : 
 and there was nothing hidden from Solo- 
 mon which he told her not. 
 
 3 And when the queen of Sheba had seen 
 the wisdom of Solomon, and the house 
 which he had built, 
 
 4 And the 4 food of his table, and the 
 dwelling of his servants, and the 'station 
 of his attendants, and their apparel ; his 
 "cup-bearers also, and their apparel ; and his 
 ascent by which he went up into the house 
 of Jehovah; there was no more spirit inher. 
 
 5 And she said to the king, It was a true 
 treport which I heard in mine own land 
 of thine ||acts, and of thy wisdom : 
 
 6 6 But, I believed not their words, until I 
 came, and mine eyes had seen it: and be- 
 hold, 7 half of the greatness of thy wisdom 
 was not told me: for thou exceedest the 
 fame which I heard. 
 
 7 Happy are thy men, and happy are these 
 thy servants, who stand continually before 
 thee, and hear thy wisdom. 
 
 8 Blessed be Jehovah thy God, who de- 
 lighted in thee to set thee on his throne, to 
 be king for Jehovah thy God : because thy 
 God loved Israel, to establish them for 
 ever, therefore he made thee king over 
 them, to 8 execute judgment and justice. 
 
 9 And she gave the king a hundred and 
 twenty talents of gold, and of spices ' a' 
 great abundance, and precious stones: 
 neither was there any such spice as the 
 queen of Sheba gave king Solomon. 
 
 10 And the servants also of Huram, and 
 the servants of Solomon, Vho brought 
 gold from Ophir, brought c9 sandal -trees 
 and precious stones. 
 
 11 And the king made of the Randal- 
 trees ||t 10 stairs for the house of Jehovah, 
 and "for the king's 12 house, and harps and 
 psalteries for singers : and there were none 
 such seen before in the land of Judah.

 13 If Now the weight of gold that came 
 to Solomon in one year was six hundred 
 and threescore and six talents of gold ; 
 
 14 Besides tliat which "travelling-mer- 
 chants and "traders brought. And all the 
 kings of Arabia and Hgovernors of the coun- 
 try brought gold and silver to Solomon. 
 
 15 If And king Solomon made two hun- 
 dred "shields of beaten gold : six hundred 
 shekels of beaten gold went to one "shield. 
 
 16 And three hundred "bucklers " of 
 beaten gold : three hundred shekels of gold 
 went to one 20 buckler. And the king put 
 them in the house of the forest of Lebanon. 
 
 17 21 Also, the king made a great throne 
 of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold. 
 
 18 And there were six steps to the throne, 
 with a footstool of gold, which were fast- 
 ened to the throne, and tstays on each 
 side of the sitting-place, and two lions 
 standing by the stays : 
 
 19 And twelve lions stood there on the 
 one side and on the other on the six steps. 
 There was not the like made in any king- 
 dom. 
 
 20 If And all the drinking vessels of king 
 Solomon were of gold, and all the vessels 
 of the house of the forest of Lebanon were 
 of tpure gold : ||none were of silver ; it 
 was 22 not at all regarded in the days of 
 Solomon. 
 
 21 For the king's ships went to Tarshish 
 with the servants of Huram: 23 once in three 
 years came the ships of Tarshish bringing 
 gold, and silver, 24 elephants' teeth, and 
 apes, and peacocks.

 CHAPTER X. 
 
 I The Israelites, assembled at Shechem to crown Re- 
 hoboam, by Jeroboam make a suit of relaxation to 
 him. 6 Rehoboam, refusing the old men's counsel, 
 by the advice of young men answereth them rough- 
 ly. 16 Ten tribes revolting kill Hadoram, and 
 make Rehoboam to flee. 
 
 A ND "Rehoboam went to Shechem : for 
 -£*• all Israel 'had' come to Shechem to 
 make him king. 
 
 2 And it came to pass, when Jeroboam 
 the son of Nebat, who was in Egypt, 
 'whither he had fled from the presence of 
 Solomon the king, heard it, that Jeroboam 
 returned out of Egypt. 
 
 3 And they sent and called him. So Je- 
 roboam and all Israel came and spoke to 
 Rehoboam, saying, 
 
 4 Thy father made our yoke grievous : 
 now therefore ease thou somewhat the 
 grievous servitude of thy father, and his 
 heavy yoke which he put on us, and we 
 will serve thee. 
 
 5 And he said to them, Come again to me 
 after three days. And the people departed. 
 
 6 If And king Rehoboam took counsel 
 with the old men who had stood before 
 Solomon his father while he yet lived, say- 
 ing, What counsel ' do' ye give me to re- 
 turn answer to this people ? 
 
 7 And they spoke to him, saying, If thou 
 be kind to this people, and please them , 
 and speak good words to them, they will 
 be thy servants for ever. 
 
 8 But he forsook the counsel which the 
 old men gave him, and took counsel with 
 the young men who were brought up with 
 him, that stood before him. 
 
 9 And he said to them, What advice give 
 ye, that we may return answer to this peo- 
 ple, who have spoken to me, saying, Ease 
 somewhat the yoke which thy father did 
 put on us ? 
 
 10 And the young men who were brought 
 up with him, spoke to him, saying, Thus 
 shalt thou answer the people that spoke to 
 thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke 
 heavy, but 'do' thou make it somewhat 
 lighter for us ; thus shalt thou say to them, 
 My little finger shall be thicker than my 
 father's loins. 
 
 II 'And now my father tput a heavy yoke 
 on you, I will put more to your yoke : my 
 father chastised you with whips, but I will 
 chastise you with scorpions. 
 
 12 So Jeroboam and all the people came 
 to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king 
 2 had commanded, saying, Come again to 
 me on the third day. 
 
 13 And the king answered them roughly ; 
 and king Rehoboam forsook the counsel 
 of the old men, 
 
 14 And answered them 'according to the 
 counsel of the young men, saying, My 
 
 father made your yoke heavy, but I will 
 add thereto : my father chastised you with 
 whips, but I will chastise you with scor- 
 pions. 
 
 15 So the king hearkened not to the peo- 
 ple: "for the cause was of God, that Jeho- 
 vah might perform his word, which he 
 spoke by the rf hand of Ahijah the Shilonite 
 to Jeroboam the son of Nebat. 
 
 16 *[f And when all Israel saw that the 
 king would not hearken to them, the peo-

 CHAPTER XL 
 
 1 Rehoboam raising an army to subdue Israel, is for- 
 bidden by Shemaiah. 5 He strengtheneth his king- 
 dom with forts and provision. 13 The priests and 
 Levites, and such as feared God,forsaken by Jero- 
 boam, strengthen the kingdom of Judah. 18 The 
 wives and children of Rehoboam. 
 
 AND "when Rehoboam 'had come to Je- 
 rusalem, he gathered ^rom the house 
 of Judah and Benjamin a hundred and 
 fourscore thousand chosen men who were 
 warriors, to fight against Israel, that he 
 might bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam. 
 
 2 But the word of Jehovah came *to 
 Shemaiah the man of God, saying, 
 
 3 Speak to Rehoboam the son of Solo- 
 mon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Ju- 
 dah and Benjamin, saying, 
 
 4 Thus saith Jehovah, Ye shall not go 
 up, nor fight against your brethren : return 
 3 each man to his house : for this thing is 
 4 from me. And they obeyed the words of 
 Jehovah, and returned from going against 
 Jeroboam. 
 
 5 If And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, 
 and built cities for defence in Judah. 
 
 6 He built even Beth-lehem, and Etam, 
 and Tekoa, 
 
 7 And Beth-zur, and Shoco, and Aclullam, 
 
 8 And Gath, and Mareshah/and Ziph, 
 
 9 And Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah, 
 
 10 And Zorah, and Ajalon, and Hebron, 
 which are in Judah and in Benjamin, for- 
 tified cities. 
 
 11 And he strengthened the 'fortresses, 
 and put captains in them, and stores of 
 victuals, ana of oil and wine. 
 
 12 And in 8 each city he put shields and 
 spears, and made them exceedingly strong, 
 having Judah and Benjamin on his side. 
 
 13 If And the priests and the Levites that 
 were in all Israel tresorted to him out of 
 all their districts. _ 
 
 14 (For the Levites left "their suburbs 
 and their possession, and came to Judah 
 and Jerusalem : for ''Jeroboam and his sons 
 had cast them oft 7 from executing the 
 priest's office to Jehovah : 
 
 15 'And he ordained himself priests for 
 the high places, and for 'the 10 idols, and 
 for ? the calves which he had made.) 
 
 16 ''And after them out of all the tribes 
 of Israel, such as set their hearts to seek 
 Jehovah God of Israel came to Jerusalem, 
 to sacrifice to Jehovah God of their fathers. 
 
 17 So they 'strengthened the kingdom of 
 Judah, and made Rehoboam the son of So- 
 lomon strong, three years : for three years 
 they walked in the way of David and So- 
 lomon.

 fortified city: and he gave them victuals 
 in abundance. And he desired tmany wives. 
 
 CHAPTER XII. 
 
 1 Rehoboam, forsaking JEHOVAH, is punished by 
 Shishak. 5 He and the princes, repenting at the 
 preaching of Shemaiah, are delivered from de- 
 struction, but not from spoil. 13 The reign and 
 death of Rehoboam. 
 
 AND "it came to pass, when Rehoboam 
 had established the kingdom, and had 
 strengthened himself, l he forsook the law 
 of Jehovah, and all Israel with him. 
 
 2 'And it came to pass, that in the fifth 
 year of king Rehoboam, Shishak king of 
 Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because 
 they had transgressed against Jehovah, 
 
 3 With twelve hundred chariots, and 
 threescore thousand horsemen : and the 
 people were without number who came 
 with him 'from Egypt ; d the ^Libyans, the 
 'Troglodytes, and the Ethiopians. 
 
 4 And he took the 4 fortified cities which 
 belonged to Judah, and came to Jerusalem. 
 
 5 If Then came 'Shemaiah the prophet to 
 Rehoboam, and to the princes of Judah, 
 who were gathered together to Jerusalem 
 6 on account of Shishak, and said to them, 
 Thus saith Jehovah, 'Ye have forsaken 
 me, and therefore have I also left you in 
 the hand of Shishak. 
 
 6 Whereupon the princes of Israel, and 
 the king s humbled themselves ; and they 
 said, ''Jehovah is righteous. 
 
 7 And when Jehovah saw that they hum- 
 bled themselves, "the word of Jehovah 
 came to Shemaiah, saying, They have 
 humbled themselves; therefore I will not 
 destroy them, but I will grant them ||some 
 delivei'ance ; and my wrath shall not be 
 poured out on Jerusalem by the hand of 
 Shishak. 
 
 8 'Yet *they shall be his servants ; that 
 they may know 'my service, and the ser- 
 vice of the kingdoms of the countries. 
 
 9 m So Shishak king of Egypt came up 
 against Jerusalem, and took away the 
 treasures of the house of Jehovah, and 
 the treasures of the king's house; he took 
 all : he carried away also the 8 bucklers of 
 gold which Solomon had "made. 
 
 10 Instead of which, king Rehoboam 
 made 9 bucklers of brass, and committed 
 them "to the hands of the chief of the guard , 
 that kept the entrance of the king's house. 
 
 323 
 
Jlbijah warreth against Jeroboam, 
 
 II. CHRONICLES. 
 
 11 And when the king entered the house 
 of Jehovah, the guard came and I0 bore 
 them, and brought them again into the 
 guard -chamber. 
 
 12 And when he humbled himself, the 
 wrath of Jehovah turned from him, ' so' 
 that he would not destroy him altogether : 
 Hand also in Judah things went well. 
 
 13 % So king Rehoboam strengthened 
 himself in Jerusalem, and reigned: for 
 'Rehoboam was one and forty years old 
 when he began to reign, and he reigned 
 seventeen years in Jerusalem, 'the city 
 which Jehovah had chosen out of all the 
 tribes of Israel, to put his name there. 
 And his mother's name was Naamah an 
 Ammonitess. 
 
 14 And he did evil, because he Hprepared 
 not his heart to seek Jehovah. 
 
 15 Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and 
 last, are they not written in the tbook of 
 Shemaiah the prophet, r and in the annals 
 of Iddo the seer ?" s And there were wars 
 between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continu- 
 ally. 
 
 16 And Rehoboam I2 lay with his fathers, 
 and was buried iji the city of David : and 
 Abijah his son reigned in his stead. 
 
 CHAPTER XIII. 
 
 1 Abijah succeeding maketh war against Jeroboam. 
 4 He declareth the right of his cause. 13 Trust- 
 ing in God he overcometh Jeroboam. 21 The wives 
 and children of Abijah. 
 
 NOW "in the eighteenth year of king 
 Jeroboam Abijah began to reign over 
 Judah. 
 
 2 He reigned three years in Jerusalem. 
 His mother's name also was 'Michaiah the 
 daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there 
 was war between Abijah and Jeroboam. 
 
 3 And Abijah tset the battle in array 
 with an army of valiant men of war, even 
 four hundred thousand chosen men : Je- 
 roboam also set the battle in array against 
 him with eight hundred thousand chosen 
 men, being mighty men of valour. 
 
 4 f And Abijah stood ' on mount c Zema- 
 raim, which is in mount Ephraim, and said, 
 Hear me, 2 Jeroboam, and all Israel ; 
 
 5 Ought ye not to know that Jehovah 
 God of Israel d gave the kingdom over Is- 
 rael to David for ever, even to him and to 
 his sons 'by a covenant of salt ? 
 
 6 Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat the ser- 
 vant of Solomon the son of David, 3 hath 
 risen up, and hath Rebelled against his 
 lord. 
 
 7 And there are gathered to him ^worth- 
 less men, the children of 5 wickedness, and 
 have strengthened themselves against Re- 
 hoboam the son of Solomon, when Reho- 
 boam was young and tender-hearted, and 
 could not withstand them. 
 
 8 And now ye think to withstand the 
 kingdom of Jehovah in the hand of the 
 sons of David ; and ye 6 are a great multi- 
 tude, and there are with you golden calves, 
 which Jeroboam ''made you for gods. 
 
 9 'Have ye not cast out the priests of Je- 
 hovah, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, 
 and have made you priests after the man- 
 ner of the nations of other lands ? *so that 
 whoever cometh t to consecrate himself 
 with a young bullock and seven rams, Vie 
 may be a priest of those that are no gods.

 and defeateth him. 
 
 and we have not forsaken him; and the 
 priests, who minister to Jehovah, are the 
 sons of Aaron, and the Levites wait on 
 their business : 
 
 11 'And they burn to Jehovah every 
 morning and every evening burnt-sacri- 
 fices and sweet incense: the m Arranged - 
 bread also 9 they set on the pure table; and 
 the candlestick of gold with the lamps 
 thereof "to burn 10 each evening: for we 
 keep the charge of Jehovah our God; but 
 ye have forsaken him. 
 
 12 And behold, God himself is with us 
 for our "chief, "and his priests with sound- 
 ing trumpets to 12 sound an alarm against 
 you. O children of Israel, 'fight 13 not 
 against Jehovah God of your fathers ; for 
 ye "will not prosper. 
 
 13 If But Jeroboam caused an ambush- 
 ment to come 15 around behind them : so 
 they were before Judah, and 'the ambush- 
 ment was behind them. 
 
 14 And when Judah looked back, behold, 
 the battle was before and behind : and 
 they cried to Jehovah, and the priests 
 sounded with the trumpets. 
 
 15 Then the men of Judah gave a shout : 
 and as the men of Judah shouted, it came 
 to pass, that God 'smote Jeroboam and all 
 Israel before Abijah and Judah. 
 
 16 And the children of Israel fled before 
 Judah: and God delivered them into 
 their hand. 
 
 17 And Abijah and his people slew them 
 with a great slaughter : so ' that ' there fell 
 down slain of Israel five hundred thousand 
 chosen men. 
 
 18 Thus the children of Israel were 
 brought under at that time, and the child- 
 ren of Judah prevailed, r because they re- 
 lied upon Jehovah God of their fathers. 
 
 19 And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, 
 and took cities from him, Bethel with the 
 towns thereof, and Jeshanah with the towns 
 thereof,and sIS Ephronwiththetowns thereof. 
 
 20 Neither did Jeroboam recover strength 
 again in the days of Abijah : and Jehovah 
 'struck him, and "he died. 
 
 21 ^l But Abijah "became mighty, and 
 married fourteen wives, and begot twenty 
 and two sons, and sixteen daughters. 
 
 22 And the rest of the acts of Abijah, 
 and his ways, and his sayings, are written 
 in the ^commentary of the prophet *Iddo. 
 
 CHAPTER XIV. 
 
 1 Asa succeeding destroyeth idolatry. 6 Having 
 peace, he strengtheneth his kingdom with forts 
 and armies. 9 Calling on God, he overthroweth 
 Zerah, and spoileth the Ethiopians. 
 
 SO Abijah Hay with his fathers, and they 
 buried him in the city of David : and 
 "Asa his son reigned in his stead. In his 
 days the land was quiet ten years. 
 
 2 And Asa did that which was good and 
 right in the 2 sight of Jehovah his God : 
 
 3 For he took away the altars of the 
 strange gods, and the high places, and 
 c broke down the 3 statues, d and cut down 
 the groves : 
 
 4 And commanded Judah to seek Jeho- 
 vah God of their fathers, and to do the 
 law and the commandment. 
 
 5 Also he took away out of all the cities 
 of Judah the high places and the timages: 
 and the kingdom was quiet before him. 
 
 6 1[ And he built 4 fortified cities in Ju- 
 
Asa smiteth Zerah the Ethiopian. CHAPTERS XV. XVI. 
 
 He putleth away idolatry. 
 
 dah : for the land had rest, and he had no 
 war in those years ; because Jehovah had 
 given him rest. 
 
 7 Therefore he said to Judali, Let us 
 build these cities, and make about them 
 walls, and towers, gates, and bars, while 
 the land is yet before us ; because we have 
 sought Jehovah our God, we have sought 
 him, and he hath given us rest on every 
 side. So they built, and prospered. 
 
 8 And Asa had an army 5 which bore 
 6 shields, and 'lances, out of Judah three 
 hundred thousand ; and out of Benjamin, 
 who bore 8 bucklers and drew bows, two 
 hundred and fourscore thousand : all these 
 were mighty men of valour. 
 
 9 f 'And there came out against them 
 Zerah the Ethiopian, with a host of a thou- 
 sand thousand, and three hundred cha- 
 riots ; and came to 'Mareshah. 
 
 10 Then Asa went out against him, and 
 they set the battle in array in the valley 
 of Zephathah at Mareshah. 
 
 11 And Asa ? cried to Jehovah his God, 
 and said, Jehovah, it is "nothing vyith thee 
 to help, whether with many, or with those 
 who have no power : help us, O Jehovah 
 our God ; for we rest on thee, and *in thy 
 name we go against this multitude. Je- 
 hovah, thou art our God; let not ||man 
 prevail against thee. 
 
 12 So the Lord *smote the Ethiopians 
 before Asa, and before Judah ; and the 
 Ethiopians fled. 
 
 13 And Asa and the people that were with 
 him pursued them to 'Gerar : and the Ethi- 
 opians were overthrown, ' so* that they 
 could not recover themselves ; for they 
 were tdestroyed before Jehovah, and be- 
 fore his host ; and they carried away spoil 
 9 in abundance. 
 
 14 And they smote all the cities '"around 
 Gerar ; for m the fear of Jehovah came on 
 them : and they spoiled all the cities ; for 
 there was u much spod in them. 
 
 15 They smote also the tents of cattle, 
 and carried away sheep and camels in 
 abundance, and returned to Jerusalem. 
 
 CHAPTER XV. 
 
 1 Asa xvith Judah and many of Israel, moved by the 
 prophecy of Azariah the son of Oded, make a so- 
 lemn covenant with God. 16 He putteth down 
 Maachah his mother for her idolatry. 18 He 
 bringeth dedicate things into the house of God, 
 and enjoyeth a long peace. 
 
 AND °the Spirit of God came on Aza- 
 riah the son of Oded : 
 
 2 And he went out to tmeet Asa, and 
 said to him, Hear ' me, Asa, and all Judah 
 and Benjamin; 'Jehovah is with you, 
 while ye 2 are with him ; and 'if ye seek 
 him, he will be found 3 by you ; but ^f ye 
 forsake him, he will forsake you. 
 
 3 Now 'for a long season Israel hath been 
 without the true God, and without 'a teach 
 ing priest, and without law. 
 
 4 But s when they in their trouble did 
 turn to Jehovah God of Israel, and sought 
 him, he was found "by them. 
 
 5 And "in those times there was no peace 
 B for him who went out, nor 6 for him who 
 came in, but great vexations were on all 
 the inhabitants of the countries. 
 
 6 'And nation was tdestroyed 7 by nation 
 and city 8 by city : for God did vex them 
 with 9 every distress.

 8 And when Asa heard these words, '"even 
 the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took 
 courage, and put away the tabominable 
 idols out of all the land of Judah and 
 Benjamin, and out of the cities *which he 
 had taken from mount Ephraim, and re- 
 newed the altar of Jehovah, which wan 
 before the porch of Jehovah. 
 
 9 And he gathered all Judah and Benja- 
 min, and 'the strangers with them out of 
 Ephraim andManasseh,andout of Simeon: 
 for they fell to him out of Israel in abun- 
 dance, when they saw that Jehovah his 
 God was with him. 
 
 10 So they gathered themselves " at Je- 
 usalem in the third month, in the fifteenth 
 
 year of the reign of Asa. 
 
 11 m And they ottered to Jehovah tthe 
 same time, 12 from "the spoil which they 
 had brought, seven hundred oxen and 
 seven thousand sheep. 
 
 12 And they "entered into a covenant to 
 seek Jehovah God of their fathers with 
 all their heart and with all their soul ; 
 
 13 PThat whoever would not seek Je- 
 hovah God of Israel 'should be put to 
 death, whether small or great, whether 
 man or woman. 
 
 14 And they swore to Jehovah with a 
 loud voice, and with shouting, and with 
 trumpets, and with cornets. 
 
 15 And all Judah rejoiced at the oath : 
 for they had sworn with all their heart, and 
 'sought him with their whole desire ; and 
 he was found 13 by them : and Jehovah gave 
 them rest round about. 
 
 16 If And also u 'Maachah the Hmother 
 of Asa the king, he removed 15 from being 
 queen, because she had made an tidol in a 
 grove : and Asa cut down her idol, and 
 I6 beat it in pieces, and burnt it at the 
 brook Kid ron. 
 
 17 But 'the high places were not taken 
 away out of Israel : nevertheless the heart 
 of Asa was perfect all his days. 
 
 18 Tf And he brought into the house of 
 God the things which his father had dedi- 
 cated, and which he himself had dedi- 
 cated, silver, and gold, and vessels. 
 
 19 And there was no 'more war until the 
 five and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa. 
 
 CHAPTER XVI. 
 
 1 Asa, by the aid of the Syrians, diverteth Baasha 
 from building of Ramah. ■ 7 Being reproved there- 
 of by Hanani, he putteth him in prison. 1 1 Among 
 his other acts in his disease he seeketh not to God, 
 but to the physicians. 13 His death and burial. 
 
 IN the six and thirtieth year of the reign 
 of Asa, "Baasha king of Israel came up 
 against Judah, and built Ramah, 'to the 
 intent that he might let none go out or 
 come in to Asa king of Judah. 
 2 Then Asa brought out silver and gold 
 out of the treasures of the house of Jeho- 
 vah and of the king's house, and sent to 
 Ben-hadad king of Syria, that dwelt at 
 tDamascus, saying, 
 
 3 There is a league between me and 
 thee, as there was between my father and 
 thy father : behold, I have sent thee silver 
 and gold ; go, break thy league with Baa- 
 sha king of Israel, that he may depart 
 from me.

Jehoshaphafs good reign. 
 
 II. CHRONICLES. His greatness, captains, and armies. 
 
 4 And Ben-hadad hearkened to king Asa, 
 and sent the captains of this armies against 
 the cities of Israel ; and they smote Ijon, 
 and Dan, and Abel-maim, and all the 
 store-cities of Naphtali. 
 
 5 And it came to pass, when Baasha 
 heard it, that he left oft' building l Ramah, 
 and let his work cease. 
 
 6 Then Asa the king took all Judah ; and 
 they carried away the stones of Ramah, 
 and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasha 
 was building, and he built therewith Geba 
 and Mizpah. 
 
 7 If And at that time 'Hanani the seer 
 came to Asa king of Judah, and said to 
 him, d Because thou hast relied on the king 
 of Syria, and not relied on Jehovah thy 
 God, therefore is the host of the king of 
 Syria escaped out of thy hand. 
 
 8 Were not c the Ethiopians and f the 2 Li- 
 byans t a huge host, with very many cha- 
 riots and horsemen ? yet, because thou 
 didst rely on Jehovah, he delivered them 
 into thy hand. 
 
 9 ^For the eyes of Jehovah run to and 
 fro through the whole earth, ||to shew him- 
 self strong in the behalf of them whose 
 heart is 3 sincere towards him. Herein 
 "thou hast done foolishly: therefore from 
 henceforth 'thou shalt have wars. - 
 
 10 Then Asa was 4 provoked with the 
 seer, and 'put him in a prison-house; for 
 fie was in a rage with him 5 for this. 6 And 
 Asa toppressed some of the people ' af the 
 same time. 
 
 11 f 'And behold, the acts of Asa, first 
 and last, lo, they are written in the book 
 of the kings of Judah and Israel. 
 
 12 And Asa in the thirty and ninth year 
 of his reign was diseased in his feet, until 
 his disease was exceedingly great : yet in 
 his disease he "sought not to Jehovah, but 
 to the physicians. 
 
 13 1f "And Asa 'lay with his fathers, and 
 died in the one and fortieth year of his 
 reign. 
 
 14 And they buried him in his own se- 
 pulchres which he had Mieged for himself 
 in the city of David, and laid him in the 
 bed which was filled "with sweet 9 spices, 
 and divers kinds of '"ointments prepared 
 by the "perfumer's art : and they made p a 
 very great burning for him. 
 
 CHAPTER XVII. 
 
 1 Jehoshaphat, succeeding Asa, reigneth well, and 
 prospereth. 7 He sendeth Levites with the princes 
 to teach Judah. 10 His enemies being terrified by 
 God, some of them bring him presents and tribute. 
 12 His greatness, captains, and armies. 
 
 AND "Jehoshaphat his son reigned in 
 his stead, and strengthened himself 
 against Israel. 
 
 2 And he placed forces in all the fenced 
 cities of Judah, and set garrisons in the 
 land of Judah, and in the cities of Ephra- 
 im, 'which Asa his father had taken. 
 
 3 And Jehovah was with Jehoshaphat, 
 because he walked in the first ways ||of his 
 father David, and sought not to Baalim; 
 
 4 But sought to JEHOVAH God of his 
 father, and walked in his commandments, 
 and not after the doings of Israel. 
 
 5 Therefore the Lord established the 
 kingdom in his hand; and all Judah ""gave 
 to Jehoshaphat presents; 'and he had riches 
 and honour in abundance.

 6 And Ins heart was 2 encouraged in the 
 ways of the Lord : moreover -^he took away 
 the high places and groves out of Judah. 
 
 7 \ Also in the third year of his reign he 
 sent to his princes, even to Ben-hail, and 
 to Obadiah, and to Zechariah, and to Ne- 
 thaneel, and to Michaiah, «to teach in the 
 cities of Judah. 
 
 8 And with them he sent Levites, even 
 Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, 
 and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jeho- 
 nathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijah, and 
 Tob-adonijah, Levites; and with them 
 Elishama and Jehoram, priests. 
 
 9 A And they taught in Judah, and had 
 the book of the law of Jehovah with them, 
 and went 3 around through all the cities of 
 Judah, and taueht the people. 
 
 10 If And 'the 4 dread of Jehovah tfell 
 upon all the kingdoms of the lands that 
 were 'around Judah, so that they made no 
 war against Jehoshaphat. 
 
 11 Also some of the Philistines 'brought 
 Jehoshaphat presents, and tribute-silver; 
 and the Arabians brought him flocks, seven 
 thousand and seven liundred rams, and 
 seven thousand and seven hundred he- 
 goats. 
 
 12 Tf And Jehoshaphat 6 became great ex- 
 ceedingly ; and he built in Judah ||castles, 
 and 7 store-cities. 
 
 13 And he had much business in the ci- 
 ties of Judah : and the men of war, mighty 
 men of valour, ivere in Jerusalem. 
 
 14 And these are the numbers of them 
 according to the house of their fathers: Of 
 Judah, the captains of thousands ; Adnah 
 the chief, and with him mighty men of va- 
 lour three hundred thousand. 
 
 ■15 And tnext to him was Jehohanan the 
 captain, and with him two hundred and 
 fourscore thousand. 
 
 16 And next 'to' him was Amasiah the 
 son of Zichri, 'who willingly offered him- 
 self to Jehovah; and with him two hun- 
 dred thousand mighty men of valour. 
 
 17 And of Benjamin ; Eliada a mighty 
 man of valour, and with him armed men 
 with bow and 8 buckler two hundred thou- 
 sand. 
 
 18 And next ' to' him was Jehozabad, and 
 with him a hundred and fourscore thou- 
 sand ready prepared for the war. 
 
 19 These waited on the king, besides 
 m those whom the king put in the 9 fortified 
 cities through all Judah. 
 
 CHAPTER XVIII. 
 
 1 Jehoshaphat, joined in affinity with Ahab, is per- 
 suaded to go with him against Ramoth-gilead. 4 
 Ahab, seduced by false prophets, according to the 
 word of Micaiah, is slain there. 
 
 NOW Jehoshaphat "had riches and ho- 
 nour in abundance, and 'joined affi- 
 nity with Ahab. 
 
 2 "And tafter 'some years he went down 
 to Ahab to Samaria. And Ahab killed 
 sheep and oxen for him in abundance, and 
 for the people 2 who were with him, and 
 persuaded him to go up with him to Ra- 
 moth-gilead. 
 
 3 And Ahab king of Israel said to Jeho- 
 shaphat king of Judah, Wilt thou go with 
 me to Ramoth-gilead? And he answered 
 him, I am as thou art, and my people 
 as thy people ; and we will be with thee in 
 the war. 
 
Ahab, seduced by false prophets, 
 
 4 U And Jehoshaphat said to the king of 
 Israel, inquire, I pray thee, 3 of the word 
 of Jehovah to-day. 
 
 5 Therefore the king of Israel gathered 
 together of prophets four hundred men, 
 and said to them, Shall we go to Ramoth- 
 gilead to battle, or shall I forbear ? And 
 they said, Go up ; for God will deliver it 
 into the king's hand. 
 
 6 But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here 
 a prophet of Jehovah tbesides, that we 
 4 may inquire of him ? 
 
 7 And the king of Israel said to Jeho- 
 shaphat, There is yet one man, by whom 
 we may inquire of Jehovah : but I hate 
 him ; for he never prophesieth good to me, 
 but always evil : the same is Micaiah the 
 son of Imla. And Jehoshaphat said, Let 
 not the king 5 speak thus. 
 
 8 And the king of Israel called 6 an offi- 
 cer, and said, 7 Hasten hither Micaiah the 
 son of Imla. 
 
 9 And the king of Israel and Jehosha- 
 phat king of Judah sat each of them on his 
 throne, clothed in their robes, and they sat 
 in 8 an open place at the Entrance of the 
 gate of Samaria : and all the prophets 
 prophesied before them. 
 
 10 And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah 
 had made him horns of iron, and said, 
 Thus saith Jehovah, With these thou shalt 
 push Syria until tthey I0 are consumed. 
 
 11 And all the prophets prophesied so, 
 saying, Go up to Ramoth-gifeaa, and pros- 
 
 I)er : for Jehovah "will deliver it into the 
 land of the king. 
 
 12 And the messenger who went to call 
 Micaiah spoke to him, saying, Behold, the 
 words of the prophets declare good to the 
 king twith one ,2 voice ; let thy word there- 
 fore, I pray thee, be like one of theirs, and 
 speak thou good. 
 
 13 And Micaiah said, As Jehovah liveth, 
 'even what my God saith, that will I speak. 
 
 14 And when he was come to the king, 
 the king said to him, Micaiah) shall we go 
 to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I for- 
 bear? And he said, Go ye up, and pros- 
 
 Eer, and they shall be delivered into your 
 and. 
 
 15 And the king said to him, How many 
 times shall 1 13 make thee swear that thou 
 say nothing but the truth to me in the name 
 of Jehovah ? 
 
 16 Then he said, I "saw all Israel scat- 
 tered on the mountains, ,5 like sheep that 
 have no shepherd: and Jehovah said, 
 These have no master; let them return 
 16 each man to his house in peace. 
 
 17 And the king of Israel said to Jeho- 
 shaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would 
 not prophesy good to me, [|but evil ? 
 
 18 Again he said, Therefore hear the word 
 of Jehovah ; I saw Jehovah sitting on his 
 throne, and all the host of heaven stand- 
 ing on his right hand and on his left. 
 
 19 And the Lord said, Who "will per- 
 suade Ahab king of Israel, that he may go 
 up and fall at Ramoth-gilead ? And one 
 spoke saying after this manner, and an- 
 other saying after that manner. 
 
 20 Then there came 18 forth a 'spirit, and 
 stood before Jehqvah, and said, I will 
 "persuade him. And the Lord said to him, 
 "How? 
 
 21 And he said, I will go 2, forth, and be

 a lying spirit in the mouth of all his pro- 
 phets. And JEHOVAH said, Thou shalt 
 ^persuade him, and thou shalt also pre- 
 vail : go 23 forth and do M so. 
 
 22 Now therefore, behold, ^Jehovah hath 
 put a lying spirit in the mouth of these thy 
 prophets, and Jehovah hath spoken evil 
 against thee. 
 
 23 Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah 
 came near, and "smote Micaiah on the 
 cheek, and said, Which way went a Spi- 
 rit of Jehovah from me to speak to thee ? 
 
 24 And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt 
 see on that day when thou shalt go ||into 
 tan inner chamber to hide thyself. 
 
 25 Then the king of Israel said, Take 2S 
 Micaiah, and carry him back to Anion 
 the governor of the city, and to Joash the 
 king's son ; 
 
 26 And say, Thus saith the king, 'Put 
 this w man in the prison, and feed him with 
 bread of affliction and with water of af- 
 fliction, until I return in peace. 
 
 27 And Micaiah said, If thou 27 at all re- 
 turn in peace, then Jehovah hath not spoken 
 byme. And he said, Hearken, all ye people. 
 
 28 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat 
 the king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gi- 
 lead. 
 
 29 And the king of Israel said to Jeho- 
 shaphat, I will disguise myself, and will 
 
 fo to the battle ; but put thou on thy robes. 
 iO the king of Israel disguised himself; 
 and they went to the battle. 
 
 30 Now the king of Syria had command- 
 ed the captains of the chariots that were 
 with him, saying, Fight ye 28 neither with 
 small or great, 29 except only with the king 
 of Israel. 
 
 31 And it came to pass, when the cap- 
 tains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that 
 they said, It is the king of Israel. There- 
 fore they compassed about him to fight: 
 but Jehoshaphat cried out, and Jehovah 
 helped him ; and God moved them to de- 
 part from him. 
 
 32 For it came to pass, that when the 
 captains of the chariots perceived that it 
 was not the king of Israel, they turned 
 back again tfrom pursuing him. 
 
 33 And a 30 man drew a bow tat a ven- 
 ture, and smote the king of Israel tbe- 
 tween the joints of the 3l coat of mail: 
 therefore he said to his 32 charioteer, Turn 
 thine hand, that thou mayest carry me out 
 of the host ; for I am twounded. 
 
 34 And the battle increased that day : 
 33 yet the king of Israel stayed himself ,up 
 in his chariot against the Syrians until the 
 34 eyening : and about the time of the sun's 
 going down he died. 
 
 CHAPTER XIX. 
 
 1 Jehoshaphat, reproved by Jehu, visiteth his king- 
 dom. 5 His instructions to the judges, 8 to the 
 priests and Levites. 
 
 AND Jehoshaphat the king of Judah re- 
 turned to his house in peace to Jeru- 
 salem. 
 
 2 And Jehu the son of Hanani "the seer 
 went out to meet him, and said to king 
 Jehoshaphat, Shouldest thou help ,the un- 
 godly, and 'love those who hate Jehovah ? 
 therefore ' there'' is 'wrath upon thee from 
 before Jehovah. 
 
 3 Nevertheless, there are ''good things 
 found in thee, in that thou hast taken away 
 
 327 
 
Jehoshaphafs care for justice. 
 
 the groves out of the land, and hast 'pre- 
 pared thy heart to seek God. 
 
 4 And Jehoshaphat dwelt at Jerusalem : 
 and the went out again through the people 
 from Beer-sheba to mount Ephraim, and 
 brought them back to Jehovah God of 
 their fathers. 
 
 5 ^ And he set judges in the land through 
 all the 'fortified cities of Judah, city by city; 
 
 6 And said to the judges, Take heed 
 what ye do : for f ye judge not for man, but 
 for Jehovah, Hvho is with you tin 2 judg- 
 ment. 
 
 7 Wherefore now let the "dread of Jeho- 
 vah be on you : take heed and do it : for 
 'there is no iniquity with Jehovah our 
 God, nor 'respect of persons, nor taking 
 of 4 bribes. 
 
 8 Tf Moreover, in Jerusalem did Jehosha- 
 phat *set ' some' of the Levites, and of the 
 priests, and of the chief of the fathers of 
 Israel, for the judgment of Jehovah, and 
 for controversies, when they returned to 
 Jerusalem. 
 
 9 And he charged them, saying, Thus 
 shall ye do 'in the fear of Jehovah, faith- 
 fully, and with a 6 sincere heart. 
 
 10 m And "every cause which shall come 
 to you of your brethren who dwell in their 
 cities, between blood and blood, between 
 law and commandment, statutes and 'or- 
 dinances, ye shall even warn them that 
 they trespass not against Jehovah, and so 
 "wrath come upon "you, anc l on your breth- 
 ren : this do, and ye shall not trespass. 
 
 11 And behold, Amariah the chief priest 
 is over you 'in all matters of Jehovah ; 
 and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, the 
 8 prince of the house of Judah, for all 
 the king's matters : also the Levites shall 
 be officers before you. tDeal courageously, 
 and Jehovah 9 will be 'with the good.

 1 Jehoshaphat in his fear proclaimeth a fast. 5 His 
 prayer. 14 The prophecy of Jahaziel. 20 Jeho- 
 shaphat exhorteth the people, and setteth singers to 
 praise JEHOVAH. 22 The great overthrow of the

 Berachah, return in triumph. 31 Jehoshaphal's 
 reign. 35 His convoy of ships, which he made with 
 Ahaziah, according to the prophecy of Eliezer, 
 unhappily perished. 
 
 IT came to pass after this also, that the 
 children of Moab, and the children of 
 Amnion, and with them others besides the 
 Ammonites, came against Jehoshaphat to 
 battle. 
 
 2 Then there came some who told Jeho- 
 shaphat, saying, There cometh a great 
 multitude against thee from beyond the 
 sea on this side ' of Syria ; and behold, 
 they l are °in Hazazon-tamar, which is 
 *En-gedi. 
 
 3 And Jehoshaphat feared, and set thim- 
 self to 'seek Jehovah, and ''proclaimed a 
 fast through all Judah. 
 
 4 And Judah gathered themselves to- 
 gether, to 2 seek help 3 from Jehovah ; even 
 out of all the cities of Judah they came to 
 seek Jehovah. 
 
 5 i And Jehoshaphat stood in the con- 
 
 Sregation of Judah and Jerusalem, in the 
 ouse of Jehovah, before the new court, 
 
 6 And said, Jehovah God of our fa- 
 thers, art not thou e God in heaven ? and

 13 And all Judah stood before Jehovah, 
 with their little ones, their wives and their 
 children. 
 
 14 Tf Then on Jahaziel the son of Zecha- 
 riah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, 
 the son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons 
 of Asaph, 'came the Spirit of Jehovah in 
 the midst of the congregation ; 
 
 15 And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, 
 and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou 
 king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith Jehovah to 
 you, 'Be not afraid nor dismayed by rea- 
 son of this great multitude ; for the battle 
 is not yours, but God's. 
 
 16 To-morrow go ye down against them: 
 behold, they come up by the 8 ascent of Ziz ; 
 and ye "will find them at the end of the 
 ||brook, before the '"waste region of Jeruel. 
 
 17 ""It shall not be necessary for you to 
 fight in this battle : set yourselves, stand 
 '- still, and see the salvation of Jehovah 
 with you, O Judah and Jerusalem : fear 
 not, nor be dismayed ; to-morrow go out 
 against them: x for Jehovah will be with 
 you. 
 
 18 And Jehoshaphat "bowed his head with 
 his face to the ground : and all Judah and 
 the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before 
 Jehovah, worshipping Jehovah. 
 
 19 And the Levites, of the children of 
 the Kohathites, and of the children of the 
 Korhites, stood up to praise Jehovah God 
 of Israel with a loud voice on high. 
 
 20 If And they arose early in the morn- 
 ing, and went forth into the wilderness of 
 Tekoa : and as they went forth, Jehosha- 
 phat stood and said, Hear me, Judah, 
 and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem ; *Believe 
 in Jehovah your God, so shall ye be esta- 
 blished ; believe his prophets, so shall ye 
 prosper. 
 
 21 And when he had consulted with the 
 people, he appointed singers 13 for Jehovah, 
 "and 1 14 commenders ' of the beauty of 
 holiness, as they went out before the army, 
 I5 that they should say, 'Praise Jehovah; 
 c for his '"kindness endureth for ever. 
 
*Dic enemies destroy one another. 
 
 22 If tAnd when they began tto sing 
 and to praise, ^Jehovah set ambushments 
 against the children of Amnion, Moab, 
 and mount Seir, who had come against 
 Judah; and ||they were smitten. 
 
 23 For the children of Amnion and 
 Moab stood up against the inhabitants of 
 mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy 
 them: and when they had made an end 
 of the inhabitants of Seir, every one 
 helped tto destroy another. 
 
 24 And when Judah came towards the 
 watch-tower in the "waste region, they 
 looked ,8 at the multitude, and behold, they 
 zoere dead bodies fallen to the earth, ana 
 tnone ' had' escaped. 
 
 25 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 them- 
 selves, more than they could carry away : 
 and they were three clays in gathering IS 
 the spoil, it was so much. 
 
 26 % And on the fourth day they assem- 
 bled themselves in the valley of HBerachah; 
 for there they blessed Jehovah : therefore 
 the name of the same place was called, 
 The valley of Berachah, to this day. 
 
 27 Then they returned, every man of 
 Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat M at 
 their head, to go again to Jerusalem with 
 joy ; for Jehovah had 'made them Z1 re- 
 joice over their enemies.. 
 
 28 And they came to Jerusalem with 
 
 Esalteries and harps and trumpets to the 
 ouse of Jehovah. 
 
 29 And -the w dread of God was on all the 
 kingdoms of those countries, when they 
 had heard that Jehovah fought against the 
 enemies of Israel. 
 
 30 So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet: 
 for his f God gave him rest round about. 
 
 31 ^f *And Jehoshaphat reigned over 
 Judah : he was thirty and five years old 
 when he began to reign, and he reigned 
 twenty and five years in Jerusalem. And 
 his mother's name was Azubah the daugh- 
 ter of Shilhi. 
 
 32 And he walked in the way of Asa his 
 father, and departed not from it, doing a 
 right in the sight of Jehovah. 
 
 33 * 4 But 'the high places were not taken 
 away : for as yet the people had not *pre- 
 pared their hearts ^for the God of their 
 fathers. 
 
 34 Now the rest of the acts of Jehosha- 
 phat, first and last, behold, they are writ- 
 ten in the tbook of Jehu the son of Hanani, 
 'who Us mentioned in the book of the kings 
 of Israel. 
 
 35 % And after this m did Jehoshaphat 
 king of Judah join himself with Ahaziah 
 king of Israel, who did very wickedly: 
 
 36 ||And he joined himself with him to 
 make ships to go to Tarshish: and they 
 made the ships in Ezion-geber. 
 
 37 Then Eliezer the son of Dodavah of 
 Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, 
 saying, Because thou hast joined thyself 
 with Ahaziah, Jehovah hath broken thy 
 works. "And the ships were broken, ' so' 
 that they were not able to go "to Tarshish.

 him in writing. 16 Philistines and Arabians 
 oppress him. 18 His incurable disease, infamous 
 death, and burial. 
 
 NOW "Jehoshaphat 'lay with his fathers, 
 and was buried with his fathers in the 
 city of David. And Jehoram his son 
 reigned in his stead. 
 
 2 And he had brethren the sons of Jeho- 
 shaphat, Azariah, and Jehiel, and Zecha- 
 riah, and Azariah, and Michael, and She- 
 phatiah: all these were the sons of Jeho- 
 shaphat king of Israel. 
 
 3 And their father gave them great gifts 
 of silver, and of gold, and ot precious 
 things, with 2 fortified cities in Judah : but 
 he gave the kingdom to ||Jehoram; because 
 he was the first-born. 
 
 4 Now when Jehoram 3 had risen up to 
 the kingdom of his father, he strengthened 
 himself, and slew all his brethren with the 
 sword, and *some also of the princes of 
 Israel. 
 
 5 ^ 'Jehoram was thirty and two years 
 old when he began to reign, and he reigned 
 eight years in Jerusalem. 
 
 6 And he walked in the way of the kings 
 of Israel, s as did the house of Ahab: for 
 he had the daughter of 'Ahab 6 as a wife : 
 and he wrought ' evil in the 8 sight of Je- 
 hovah. 
 
 7 9 But Jehovah would not destroy the 
 house of David, I0 on account of the cove- 
 nant which he had made with David, and 
 as he ' had' promised to give a "lamp to 
 him and to his d sons for ever. 
 
 8 f e I n Ids days the Edomites revolted 
 from under the 12 hand of Judah, and made 
 themselves a king. 
 
 9 Then Jehoram went forth with his 
 princes, and all his chariots with him: 
 and he rose up by night, and smote the 
 Edomites who encompassed him, 13 and the 
 captains of the chariots. 
 
 10 So the Edomites revolted from under 
 the hand of Judah to this day. The same 
 time also did Libnah revolt from under 
 his hand; because he had forsaken Jeho- 
 vah God of his fathers. 
 
 11 Moreover, he made high places in the 
 mountains of Judah, and caused the inha- 
 bitants of Jerusalem to ^commit "lewd- 
 ness, and compelled Judah thereto. 
 
 12 t And there came a ||writing to him 
 from Elijah the prophet, saying, Thus saith 
 Jehovah God of David thy father, Because 
 thou hast not walked in the ways of Jeho- 
 shaphat thy father, nor in the ways of Asa 
 king of Judah, 
 
 13 But hast walked in the way of the 
 kings of Israel, and hast *made Judah and 
 the inhabitants of Jerusalem to * "commit 
 lewdness, like 16 the '"lewdness of the 
 house of Ahab, and also hast "slain thy 
 brethren of thy father's house, who were 
 better than thyself: 
 
 14 Behold, with ta great plague will Je- 
 hovah smite thy peoole, and thy children, 
 and thy wives, and all thy "substance : 
 
 15 And thou shalt have great sickness by 
 ' a' 'disease of thy bowels, until thy bowels 
 fall out by reason of the sickness day by day. 
 
 16 f I9 And Jehovah ""stirred up against 
 Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of 
 the Arabians, who were near the Ethiopians: 
 
 17 And they came up into Judah, and 
 
 329 
 
JHiaziah's reign and death. 
 
 broke into it, and teamed away all the 
 substance which was found in the king's 
 house, and "his sons also, and his wives ; 
 so that there was 20 no son left him, "except 
 HJehoahaz the youngest of his sons. 
 
 18 Tf || And after all this Jehovah smote 
 him "in his bowels with an incurable dis- 
 ease. 
 
 19 And it came to pass, that in process 
 of time, after the end of two years, his 
 bowels fell out by reason of his sickness : 
 so he died of '"severe diseases. And his 
 people made no burning for Mm, like 'the 
 burning "for his fathers. 
 
 20 Thirty and two years old was he when 
 he began to reign, and he reigned in Jeru- 
 salem eight years, and departed twithout 
 being desired: Z4 yet they buried him in 
 the city of David, but not in the sepulchres 
 of the kings. 
 
 CHAPTER XXII. 
 
 1 Ahaziah succeeding reignetk wickedly. 5 In his 
 confederacy with Joram the son of Ahab, he is 
 slain by Jehu. 10 Athaliah, destroying all the 
 b-oyal children, except Joash, whom Jehoshabeath 
 his aunt hid, usurpeth the kingdom. 
 
 A ND the inhabitants of Jerusalem made 
 ■£*- "Ahaziah his youngest son king in his 
 stead : for the band of men who came with 
 the Arabians to the camp had slain all the 
 *eldest. So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram 
 king of Judah reigned. 
 
 2 "Forty and two years old was Ahaziah 
 when he began to reign, and he reigned 
 one year in Jerusalem. His mother's name 
 also was d Athaliah the daughter of Omri. 
 
 3 He also walked in the ways of the 
 house of Ahab : for his mother was his 
 counsellor to do wickedly. 
 
 4 Wherefore he did evil in the sight of 
 Jehovah like the house of Ahab : for they 
 were his counsellors, after the death of 
 his father, to his destruction. 
 
 5 If He walked also 2 in their counsel, and 
 'went with Jehoram the son of Ahab king of 
 Israel to war against Hazael king of Syria 
 at Ramoth-gilead : and the Syrians smote 
 Joram. 
 
 6 ^\nd he returned to be healed in Jez- 
 reel because of the wounds twhich 3 they 
 had given him at Ramah, when he fought 
 with Hazael king of Syria. And ||Azariah 
 the son of Jehoram king of Judah went 
 down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab at 
 Jezreel, because he was 4 wounded. 
 
 7 And the tdestruction of Ahaziah ff was 
 6 from God by coming to Joram : for when 
 he 6 had come, he A went out with Jehoram 
 against Jehu the son of Nimshi, 'whom Je- 
 hovah had anointed to cut off the house 
 of Ahab. 
 
 8 And it came to pass, that when Jehu 
 was *executing judgment on the house of 
 Ahab, and 'found the princes of Judah, 
 and the sons of the brethren of Ahaziah, 
 'who waited on Ahaziah, he slew them. 
 
 9 m And he sought Ahaziah : and they 
 caught him, (for he was hidden in Sama- 
 ria,) and brought him to Jehu : and when 
 they had slain him, they buried him: Be- 
 cause, said they, he is the son of Jehosha- 
 
 Ehat, who "sought Jehovah with all his 
 eart. So the house of Ahaziah had no 
 power to keep 8 the kingdom. 
 
 10 \ "But when Athaliah the mother of 
 Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she

 -Joash is made king: 
 
 arose, and destroyed all the 9 royal sons of 
 the house of Judah. 
 
 11 But ^Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the 
 king, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and 
 stole him from among the king's sons who 
 were slain, and put him and his nurse in a 
 bed-chamber. So Jehoshabeath, the daugh- 
 ter of king Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada 
 the priest, (for she was the sister of Aha- 
 ziah,) hid him from Athaliah, so that she 
 slew him not. 
 
 12 And he was with them hidden in the 
 house of God six years : and Athaliah 
 reigned over the land. 
 
 CHAPTER XXIII. 
 
 1 Jehoiada, having set things in order, maketh Joash 
 king. 12 Athaliah is slain. 16 Jehoiada re- 
 storeth the worship of God. 
 
 A ND "in the seventh year Jehoiada 
 -^*- strengthened himself, and took the 
 captains of hundreds, Azariah the son of 
 Jeroham,and Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, 
 and Azariah the son of Obed,and Maaseiah 
 the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son 
 of Zichri, into covenant with him. 
 
 2 And they went l around in Judah, and 
 gathered the Levites out of all the cities 
 of Judah, and the chief of the fathers of 
 Israel, and they came to Jerusalem. 
 
 3 And all the congregation made a cove- 
 nant with the king in the house of God. 
 And he said to them, Behold, the king's 
 son shall reign, as Jehovah hath 'said Re- 
 specting the sons of David. 
 
 4 This is the thing that ye shall do : A 
 third part of you 'entering on the sabbath;, 
 of the priests and of the Levites, shall be 
 porters of the tdoors ; 
 
 5 And a third part shall be at the king's 
 house ; and a third part at the gate of the 
 foundation : and all the people shall be in 
 the courts of the house of Jehovah. 
 
 6 But let none come into the house of 
 Jehovah, 3 except the priests, and ''those of 
 the Levites who minister; they shall go 
 in, for they are holy : but all the people 
 shall keep the watch of Jehovah. 
 
 7 And the Levites shall encompass the 
 king round about, each man with his 
 weapons in his hand; and whoever else 
 cometh into the house, he shall be put to 
 death : but be ye with the king when he 
 cometh in, and when he goeth out. 
 
 8 So the Levites and all Judah did ac- 
 cording to all things which Jehoiada the 
 priest had commanded, and took 6 each 
 man his men who were to come in on the 
 sabbath, with those who were to go out on 
 the sabbath: for Jehoiada the priest dis- 
 missed not 'the courses. 
 
 9 6 And Jehoiada the priest delivered to 
 the captains of hundreds spears, and buck- 
 lers, and shields, which had been king Da- 
 vid's, which were in the house of God. 
 
 10 And he set all the people, 'each man 
 having his weapon in his hand, from the 
 right tside of the ttemple to the left side 
 of the temple, along by the altar and the 
 temple, * around' by the king 8 . 
 
 11 Then they brought out the king's son, 
 and put upon him the crown, and f gave 
 him the testimony, and made him king. 
 And Jehoiada and his sons anointed him, 
 and said, t 9 Long life to the king. 
 
 12 f Now when Athaliah heard the noise 
 of the people running and praising the 
 
Jitlialiah is slain. 
 
 king, she came to the people in the house 
 of J ehovah : 
 
 13 And she looked,, and behold, the king 
 stood at his pillar at the entering in, and 
 the princes and the trumpets by the king : 
 and all the people of the land rejoiced, and 
 sounded with trumpets; also the singers 
 with instruments of music, and *such as 
 taught to sing praise. Then Athaliah rent 
 her clothes, and said, '"Conspiracy ! con- 
 spiracy ! 
 
 14 Then Jehoiada the priest brought out 
 the captains of hundreds that were set over 
 the host, and said to them, Have her forth 
 "from the I2 ranks : and whoever follow - 
 eth her, let him be slain with the sword. 
 For the priest said, Slay her not in the 
 house of the Lord. 
 
 15 So they laid hands on her ; and when 
 she "had come to the "entrance *of the 
 horse-gate by the king's house, they slew 
 her there. 
 
 16 U And Jehoiada made a covenant be- 
 tween him, and between all the people, 
 and between the king, that they would be 
 Jehovah's people. 
 
 17 Then all the people went to the house 
 of Baal, and broke it down, and broke his 
 altars and his images in pieces, and "slew 
 Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. 
 
 18 Also Jehoiada appointed the offices of 
 the house of Jehovah by the hand of the 
 priests the Levites, whom David had *dis- 
 tributed in the house of Jehovah, to offer 
 the burnt-offerings of Jehovah, as it is 
 written in the 'law of Moses, with rejoic- 
 ing and with singing, as it was ordained 
 tby David. 
 
 19 And he set the "porters at the gates 
 of the house of Jehovah, that l5 no one who 
 was unclean in any thing should enter in. 
 
 20 "And he took the captains of hundreds, 
 and the nobles, and the 16 rulers of the peo- 
 ple, and all the people of the land, and 
 brought down the king from the house of 
 Jehovah: and they came through the high 
 gate into the king's house, and set the king 
 on the throne of the kingdom. 
 
 21 And all the people of the land rejoic- 
 ed: and the city was quiet, n for they had 
 slain Athaliah with the sword. 
 
 CHAPTER XXIV. 
 
 1 Joash reignelh well all the days of Jehoiada. 4 He 
 givetk order for the repair of the temple. 15 Je- 
 hoiada's death and honourable burial. 17 Joash, 
 falling to idolatry, slayeth Zechariah the son of 
 Jehoiada. 23 Joash is spoiled by the Syrians, and 
 slain by Zabad and Jehozabad. 27 Amaziah sue- 
 ceedeth him. 
 
 JOASH "was seven years old when he 
 began to reign, and he "reigned forty 
 years in Jerusalem. His mother's name 
 also was Zibiah of Beer-sheba. 
 
 2 And Joash 'did ' right in the sight of 
 Jehovah all the days of Jehoiada the priest. 
 
 3 And Jehoiada took for him two wives ; 
 and he begot sons and daughters. 
 
 4 TJ And it came to pass after this, that 
 Joash was 2 resolved tto repair the house 
 of Jehovah. 
 
 5 And he gathered together the priests 
 and the Levites, and said to them, Go out 
 to the cities of Judah, and "gather of all 
 Israel money to repair the house of your 
 God from year to year, and see that ye 
 hasten the matter. 3 But the Levites has- 
 tened it not.

 7 J he temple repaired. 
 
 6 d And the king called for Jehoiada the 
 chief, and said to him, Why hast thou not 
 required of the Levites to bring in out of 
 Judah and out of Jerusalem the tribute, 
 according to the commandment of 'Moses 
 the servant of Jehovah, and of the con- 
 gregation of Israel, for the ' 5 tent of testi- 
 mony ? 
 
 7 For s the sons of Athaliah, that wicked 
 woman, had broken up the house of God ; 
 and also all the Medicated things of the house 
 of Jehovah 7 had they bestowed on Baalim. 
 
 8 And 8 the king commanded and 'they 
 made a chest, and set it without at the gate 
 of the house of Jehovah. 
 
 9. And they made ta proclamation through 
 Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in to Jeho- 
 vah *the 9 tribute which Moses the servant 
 of God laid on Israel in the '"desert. 
 
 10 And all the princes and all the people 
 rejoiced, and brought in, and cast into the 
 chest, until they had made an end. 
 
 11 Now it came to pass, that at the time 
 'when' the chest was brought into the king's 
 office by the. hands of the Levites, and m 
 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 its place again. Thus 
 they did day by day, and gathered money 
 in abundance. 
 
 12 And the king and Jehoiada gave it to 
 such as did the work of the service of the 
 house of Jehovah, and hired masons and 
 carpenters to repair the house of Jehovah, 
 and also such as wrought iron and brass 
 to mend ihe house of Jehovah. 
 
 13 So the workmen wrought, and tthe 
 work was ^completed by them, and they 
 "rebuilt the house of God "according to 
 its former measure, and strengthened it. 
 
 14 And when they had finished it, they 
 brought the rest of the money before the 
 king and Jehoiada; "" 5 from it were made 
 vessels for the house of Jehovah, even ves- 
 sels 16 for ministering, and ||"for offering, 
 and spoons, and vessels of gold and silver. 
 And they offered burnt-offerings in the 
 house of Jehovah continually all the days 
 of Jehoiada. 
 
 15 If But Jehoiada 16 became old, and was 
 full of days when he died ; a hundred and 
 thirty years old was he when he died. 
 
 16 And they buried him in the city of 
 David among the kings, because he had 
 done good in Israel, both towards God, 
 and towards his house. 
 
 17 Now after the death of Jehoiada the 
 princes of Judah came, and made obeisance 
 to the king. Then the king hearkened to 
 them. 
 
 18 And they left the house of Jehovah 
 God of their fathers, and served "groves 
 and idols : and "wrath came on Judah and 
 Jerusalem for this their trespass. 
 
 19 Yet he p sent prophets to them, to bring 
 them again to Jehovah ; and they testified 
 against them: but they would not give ear. 
 
 20 And 'the Spirit of God tcame on Ze- 
 chariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, who 
 stood above the people, and said to them, 
 Thus saith God, 'Why transgress ye the 
 commandments of Jehovah, ' so' that ye 
 cannot prosper? 'because ye have forsaken 
 Jehovah, he hath also forsaken you. 
 
 21 And they conspired against him, and 
 
Joash slain by his own servants. 
 
 'stoned him with stones 19 by the command 
 ment of the king, in the court of the house 
 of Jehovah. 
 
 22 Thus Joash the king remembered not 
 the kindness which Jehoiada his father had 
 done to him, but slew his son. . And when 
 he died, he said, Jehovah look on it, and 
 require it. 
 
 23 If And it came to pass tat the end of 
 the year, that "the host of Syria came up 
 against him : and they came to Judah and 
 Jerusalem, and destroyed all the princes 
 of the people from among the people, and 
 sent all 20 their spoil to the king of fDamas- 
 cus. 
 
 24 For the army of the Syrians *came 
 with a small company of men, and Jeho- 
 vah "delivered a very great host into their 
 hand, because they had forsaken Jehovah 
 God of their fathers. 81 Thus they *execut- 
 ed judgment against Joash. 
 
 25 And when they ^had departed from 
 him, (for they left him in great diseases,) 
 °his a 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. 
 
 26 And these are those who conspired 
 against him ; ||Zabad the son of Shimeath 
 an Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of 
 UShimrith a Moabitess. 
 
 27 If Now concerning his sons, and the 
 greatness of 'the burdens laid on him, and 
 the trepairing of the house of God, behold, 
 they are written in the ^commentary of 
 the book of the kings. d And Amaziah his 
 son reigned in his stead. 
 
 CHAPTER XXV. 
 
 1 Amaziah beginneth to reign well. 3 He executeth 
 justice on the traitors. 5 Having hired an army 
 of Israelites against the Edomites, at the word of 
 a prophet he loseth the hundred talents, and dis- 
 misseth them. 1 1 He overthroweth the Edomites. 
 10, 13 The Israelites, discontented with their dis- 
 mission, spoil as they return home. 14 Amaziah, 
 proud of his victory, serveth the gods of Edom, and 
 despiseth the admonitions of the prophet. 17 He 
 provoketh Joash to his overthrow. 25 His reign. 
 27 He is slain by conspiracy. 
 
 AMAZIAH "was twenty and five years 
 old when he began to reign, and he 
 reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusa- 
 lem. And his mother's name was Jeho- 
 addan of Jerusalem. 
 
 2 And he did ' right in the sight of Jeho- 
 vah, 'but not with a Sincere heart. 
 
 3 If 'Now it came to pass, when the king- 
 dom was testablished to him, that he slew 
 his servants who had killed the king his 
 father. 
 
 4 But he slew not their children, but did 
 as it is written in the law in the book of 
 Moses, where Jehovah commanded, say- 
 ing, ''The fathers shall not die for the 
 children, neither shall the children die for 
 the fathers, but every man shall die for his 
 own sin. 
 
 5 If 'And Amaziah gathered Judah 4 , and 
 made them captains over thousands, and 
 captains over hundreds, according to the 
 houses of their fathers, through all Judah 
 and Benjamin: and he numbered them 
 'from twenty years old and 6 upwards, and 
 found them three hundred thousand choice

 6 He also hired a hundred thousand 
 mighty men of valour out of Israel for a 
 hundred talents of silver. 
 
 7 But a man of God came to him, say- 
 ing, O king, let not the army of Israel go 
 with thee; for Jehovah is not with Israel, 
 ''even with all the children of Ephraim. 
 
 8 But if thou wilt go, do it, be strong for 
 the battle: God shall make thee fall before 
 the enemy : for God hath 'power to help, 
 and to cast down. 
 
 9 And Amaziah said to the man of God, 
 But what shall we do for the hundred 
 talents which I have given to the 8 band of 
 Israel ? And the man of God answered, 
 ^Jehovah is able to give thee much more 
 than this. 
 
 10 Then Amaziah separated them, *even 
 the 10 band that had come to Jiim "from 
 Ephraim, to go thome again : wherefore 
 their anger was greatly kindled against 
 Judah, and they returned home tin great 
 anger. 
 
 11 If And Amaziah strengthened himself, 
 and led forth his people, and went to *the 
 valley of Salt, and smote ten thousand of 
 the children of Seir. 
 
 12 And 'the' other ten thousand left alive 
 did the children of Judah carry away cap- 
 tives, and brought them to the top of the 
 rock, and cast them down from the top 
 of the rock, that they all were broken in 
 pieces. 
 
 13 Tf But tthe soldiers of the M band whom 
 Amaziah sent back, ' so' that they should 
 not go with him to battle, fell on the cities 
 of Judah, from Samaria even to Beth-horon, 
 and smote three thousand of them, and took 
 much spoil. 
 
 14 If Now it came to pass, after that Ama- 
 ziah had come from the slaughter of the 
 Edomites, that 'lie brought the gods of the 
 children of Seir, and set them up 13 as 'his 
 gods, and bowed down himself before them, 
 and burned incense to them. 
 
 15 Wherefore the anger of Jehovah was 
 kindled against Amaziah, and he sent to 
 him a prophet, who said to him, Why hast 
 thou sougnt after 'the gods of the people, 
 which ™could not deliver their own people 
 "from thy hand ? 
 
 16 And it came to pass, as he talked with 
 him, that the king said to him, Art thou 
 made 'one' of the Icing's counsel? forbear; 
 why shouldest thou be smitten ? Then the 
 
 Erophet forbore, and said, I know that God 
 ath t"determined to destroy thee, because 
 thou hast done this, and hast not hearkened 
 to my counsel. 
 
 17 f Then "Amaziah king of Judah took 
 "counsel, and sent to Joash, the son of Je- 
 hoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, 
 saying, Come, let us 16 look one another in 
 the face. 
 
 18 And Joash king of Israel sent to Ama- 
 ziah king of Judah, saying, The "thorn - 
 bush which was in Lebanon sent tathe 
 cedar which was in Lebanon, saying, TJive 
 thy daughter to my son "as a wife : and 
 there passed by ta wild beast that was in 
 Lebanon, and trode down the ,9 thorn-bush. 
 
 19 Thou sayest, Lo, thou hast smitten 
 the Edomites ; and thy heart lifteth thee 
 up to boast: abide now at home; why 
 
Jlmaziah is overthrown by Joash. 
 
 shouldest thou 20 contend with evil, that 
 thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah 
 with thee ? 
 
 20 But Amaziah would not hear ; for *it 
 came 2l from God, that he might deliver 
 them into the hand of their enemies, be- 
 cause they 'sought after the gods of Edom. 
 
 21 So Joash the king of Israel went up ; 
 and they ^looked one another in the face, 
 both he and Amaziah king of Judah, at 
 Beth-shemesh, which belongeth to Judah. 
 
 22 And Judah was '"smitten before Israel, 
 and they fled M each man to his tent. 
 
 23 And Joash the king of Israel ^seized 
 Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash, 
 the son of 'Jehoahaz, at Beth-shemesh. and 
 brought him to Jerusalem, and broke down 
 the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of 
 Ephraim to tthe corner-gate, four hundred 
 cubits. 
 
 24 And he took all the gold and silver, 
 and all the vessels which were found in 
 the house of God with Obed-edom, and the 
 treasures of the king's house, the hostages 
 also, and returned to Samaria. 
 
 25 1f 'And Amaziah, the son of Joash 
 king of Judah, lived after the death of 
 Joash, son of Jehoahaz king of Israel, 
 fifteen years. 
 
 26 Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, 
 first and last, behold, are they not written 
 in the book of the kings of Judah and Is- 
 rael ? 
 
 97 If Now after the time when Amaziah 
 did turn away tfrom following Jehovah 
 they tmade a conspiracy against him in 
 Jerusalem; and he fled to Lachish: but 
 they sent to Lachish after him, and slew 
 him there. 
 
 28 And they brought him on horses, and 
 buried him with his fathers in the city of 
 HJudah. 
 
 CHAPTER XXVI. 
 
 1 Vzziah succeeding, and reigning well in the days 
 of Zechariah, prospereth. 16 1 Becoming proud, he 
 invadeth the priest's office, and is smitten with 
 leprosy. 22 He dieth, and Jotham succeedeth him. 
 
 THEN all the people of Judah took 
 °||Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, 
 and made him king in the room of his fa- 
 ther Amaziah. 
 
 2 He built Eloth, and restored it to Ju- 
 dah, after that the king 2 lay with his fathers. 
 
 3 Sixteen years old was Uzziah when he 
 began to reign, and he reigned fifty and 
 two years in Jerusalem. His mother's 
 name also was Jecoliah of Jerusalem. 
 
 4 And he did s right in the sight of Je- 
 hovah, according to all that his father 
 Amaziah *had done. 
 
 5 And 'he sought God in the days of Ze- 
 chariah, who c had understanding tin the 
 visions of God : and, as long as he sought 
 Jehovah, God made him 5 prosper. 
 
 6 And he went forth and *warred against 
 the Philistines, and broke down the wall 
 of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the 
 wall of Ashdod, and built cities || 6 around 
 Ashdod, and among the Philistines. 
 
 7 And God helped him against /the Phi- 
 listines, and against the Arabians who 
 dwelt in Gur-baal, and the Mehunims. 
 
 8 And the Ammonites 'gave gifts to Uz- 
 ziah: and his name tspread abroad even to 
 the "entrance of Egypt : for he strengthen- 
 ed himself exceedingly.

 9 Moreover, Uzziah built towers in Je-

 valley -gate, and at the 8 corner, and ||for- 
 tified them. 
 
 10 Also he built towers in the desert, and 
 || digged many wells: for he had ^rnany 
 cattle, both in the low country, and in the 
 plains; husbandmen also, and vine-dres- 
 sers in the mountains, and in ||Carmel : for 
 he loved thusbandry. 
 
 11 "And Uzziah had a host .of fighting 
 men, who went out to war by bands, ac- 
 cording to the number of their account by 
 the hand of Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah 
 the ruler, under the hand of Hananiah, 
 one of the king's captains. 
 
 12 The whole number of the chief of the 
 fathers of the mighty men of valour were 
 two thousand and six hundred. 
 
 13 And under their hands was Y a power- 
 ful' army, three hundred thousand and 
 seven thousand and five hundred, who 
 made war with mighty power, to help the 
 king against the enemy. 
 
 14 And Uzziah prepared for them through- 
 out all the host, "bucklers, and ,8 lances, 
 and helmets, and 13 coats of mail, and 
 bows, and tslings to cast stones. 
 
 15 And he made in Jerusalem engines, 
 invented by "artificers, to be on the towers 
 and upon the "corners, to shoot arrows 
 and great stones 16 . And his name tspread 
 far abroad ; for he was "wonderfully help- 
 ed, till he was strong. 
 
 16 \ But *when he was strong, his heart 
 was 'lifted up to his destruction: for he 
 transgressed against Jehovah his God, and 
 *went into the temple of Jehovah to burn 
 incense on the altar of incense. 
 
 17 And 'Azariah the priest went in after 
 him, and with him fourscore priests of Je- 
 hovah, 18 valiant men : 
 
 18 And they withstood Uzziah the king, 
 and said to him, It mW belongeth not to thee, 
 Uzziah, to burn incense to Jehovah, but 
 to the "priests, the sons of Aaron, who are 
 20 sanctified to burn incense : go out of the 
 sanctuary ; for thou hast trespassed ; nei- 
 ther shall it be for thine honour from Je- 
 hovah God. 
 
 19 Then Uzziah was 21 angry, and had a 
 censer in his hand to burn incense : and 
 while he was M angry with the priests, "the 
 leprosy even rose up on his forehead before 
 the priests in the house of Jehovah, from 
 beside the incense-altar. 
 
 20 And Azariah the chief priest, and all 
 the priests looked on him, and behold, he 
 was leprous in his forehead, and they thrust 
 him out from thence; yea, himself ? hasted 
 also to go out, because Jehovah had smit- 
 ten him. 
 
 21 '•And Uzziah the king was a leper 23 till 
 the day of his death, and dwelt in a ""Psick- 
 house, being a leper; for he was ^excluded 
 from the house of Jehovah : and Jotham 
 his son was over the king's house, judging 
 the people of the land. 
 
 22 ^ Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, 
 first and last, did 'Isaiah the prophet, the 
 son of Amoz, write. 
 
 23. 'So Uzziah M lay with his fathers, and 
 they buried him with his fathers in the 
 field of the burial which belonged to the 
 kings; for they said, He is a leper: and

 people yet did corruptly. 
 
 3 He built the high gate of the house of 
 Jehovah, and on the wall of || 3 the mound 
 he built much. 
 
 4 "And he built cities in the mountains of 
 Judah, and in the forests he built castles 
 and towers. 
 
 5 ^[ He fought also with the king of the 
 Ammonites, and prevailed against them. 
 And the children of Ammon gave him the 
 same year a hundred talents of silver, and 
 ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten 
 thousand of barley. fSo much did the 
 children of Ammon pay to him, both the 
 second year, and the third. 
 
 6 So Jotham became mighty, because he 
 jlprepared his ways before Jehovah his 
 God. 
 
 7 f Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, 
 and all his wars, and his ways, lo, they are 
 written in the book of the kings of Israel 
 and Judah. 
 
 8 He was five and twenty years old when 
 he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years 
 in Jerusalem. 
 
 9 If c And Jotham 5 lay with his fathers, and 
 they buried him in the city of David : and 
 Ahaz his son reigned in his stead. 
 
 CHAPTER XXVIII. 
 
 1 Ahaz reigning very wickedly is greatly afflicted 
 by the Syrians. 6 Judah being captivated by the 
 Israelites is sent home by the counsel of Oded the 
 prophet. 16 Ahaz sending for aid to Assyria is 
 not helped thereby. 22 In his distress he groweth 
 more idolatrous. 26 He dying, Hezekiah succeed- 
 eth him. 
 
 AHAZ "was twenty years old when he 
 began to reign, and he reigned sixteen 
 years in Jerusalem : but he did not hlo right 
 in the sight of Jehovah, like David his 
 father: 
 
 2 For he walked in the ways of the kings 
 of Israel, and made also 4 molten images 
 for e Baalim. 
 
 3 Moreover, he ||burnt incense in 'the 
 valley of the son of Hinnom, and burnt 
 'his children in the fire, According to the 
 abominations of the heathen whom Jeho- 
 vah had cast out before the children of 
 Israel. 
 
 4 He sacrificed also and burnt incense in 
 the high places, and on the hills, and un- 
 der every green tree. 
 
 5 Wherefore ^Jehovah his God delivered 
 him into the hand of the king of Syria ; 
 and they ? smote him, and earned away a 
 
 freat multitude of them captives, and 
 rought them to tDamascus. And he was 
 also delivered into the hand of the king of 
 Israel , who smote him with a great slaughter.

 dhaz reigneth wickedly. 
 
 they had forsaken Jehovah God of their 
 fathers. 
 
 7 And Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, 
 slew Maaseiah the king's son, and Azri- 
 kam the "prince of the house, and Elkanah 
 who was fnext to the king. 
 
 8 And the children of Israel carried away 
 captives of their 'brethren two hundred 
 thousand, women, sons, and daughters, and 
 took away also much spoil from them, and 
 brought the spoil to Samaria. 
 
 9 But a prophet of Jehovah was there, 
 whose name was Oded : and he went out 
 before the host that came to Samaria, and 
 said to them, Behold, 'because Jehovah 
 God of your fathers was 5 angry with Ju- 
 dah, he hath delivered them into your 
 hand, and ye have slain them "with a rage 
 which 'reacheth up to heaven. 
 
 10 And now ye 'think to keep under 
 the children of Judah and Jerusalem for 
 m bond-men and bond-women 3 for your- 
 selves: hut are there not with you, even 
 with you, sins against Jehovah your God ? 
 
 11 Now hear me therefore, and deliver 
 the captives again, whom ye have taken 
 captives of your brethren : "for the fierce 
 wrath of Jehovah is on you. 
 
 12 Then 9 some of the heads of the child- 
 ren of Ephraim, Azariah the son of Joha- 
 nan, Berechiah the son of Meshillemoth, 
 and Jehizkiah the son of Shallum, and 
 Amasa the son of Hadlai, stood up against 
 those who had come from the war, 
 
 13 And said to them, Ye shall not bring 
 in the captives hither: for whereas we 
 have offended against Jehovah already, 
 ye '"think to add u to our sins and to our 
 trespass: for our trespass is great, and 
 there is fierce wrath against Israel. 
 
 14 So the armed men left the captives 
 and the spoil before the princes and all 
 the congregation. 
 
 15 And the men "who were expressed by 
 name rose up, and took the captives, and 
 with the spoil clothed all who were naked 
 among them, and arrayed them, and shod 
 them, and ''gave them ,2 food and 13 drink, 
 and anointed them, and carried all the 
 feeble of them on asses, and brought them 
 to Jericho, 'the city of palm-trees, to their 
 brethren : then they returned to Samaria. 
 
 16 \ 'At that time did king Ahaz send to 
 the kings of Assyria to help him. 
 
 17 For again the Edomites had come and 
 smitten Judah, and carried away tcaptives. 
 
 18 "The Philistines also had invaded the 
 cities of the low country, and of the south 
 of Judah, and had taken Beth-shemesh, 
 and Ajalon, and Gederoth, and Shocho 
 with the villages thereof, and Timnah 
 with the villages thereof, Gimzo also and 
 the villages thereof: and they dwelt there, 
 
 19 For Jehovah brought Judah low be- 
 cause of Ahaz king of 'Israel: for he 
 "made Judah naked, and transgressed 
 ,4 greatly against Jehovah. 
 
 20 And *Tilgath-pilneser king of Assy- 
 ria came to him, and distressed him, but 
 strengthened him not. 
 
 21 For Ahaz took away a portion out of 
 the house of Jehovah, and out of the house 
 of the king, and of the princes, and gave it 
 to the king of Assyria : but he helped him 
 not. 
 
 22 If And in the time of his distress did 
 
Hezekiah's good reign. 
 
 he trespass yet more against Jehovah : this 
 16 king Ahaz 'did thus.' 
 
 23 For "he sacrificed to the gods of tDa- 
 mascus, which smote him : and he said, 
 Because the gods of the kings of Syria 
 help diem, I6 1 will sacrifice to them, that 
 'they may help me. But they were the 
 ruin of him, and of all Israel. 
 
 24 And Ahaz, gathered together the ves- 
 sels of the house of God, and cut in pieces 
 the vessels of the house of God, "and shut 
 up the doors of the house of Jehovah, and 
 he made himself altars in every corner of 
 Jerusalem. 
 
 25 And in every " city of Judah he made 
 high places ||to burn incense to other gods, 
 and provoked l8 Jehovah God of his fathers. 
 
 26 1f 'Now the rest of his acts and of all 
 his ways, first and last, behold, they are 
 written in the book of the kings of Judah 
 and Israel. 
 
 27 And Ahaz !9 lay with his fathers, and 
 they buried him in the city, *° in Jerusalem : 
 but they brought him not into the sepul- 
 chres of the kings of Israel : and Heze- 
 kiah his son reigned in his stead. 
 
 CHAPTER XXIX. 
 
 1 Hezekiah's good reign. 3 He restoreth religion. 
 5 He exhorteth the Levites. !2 They sanctify 
 themselves, and cleanse the house of God. 20 He- 
 zekiah offereth solemn sacrifices, wherein the Le- 
 vites were more forward than the priests. 
 
 HEZEKIAH "began to reign when he 
 was five and twenty years old, and 
 he reigned nine and twenty years in Jeru - 
 salem. And his mother's name was Abi- 
 jah the daughter 'of Zechariah. 
 
 2 And he did ' right in the sight of Jeho- 
 vah, according to all that David his father 
 had done. 
 
 3 ^f He, in the first year of his reign, in 
 the first month, 'opened the doors of the 
 house of the Lord, and repaired them. 
 
 4 And he brought in the priests and the 
 Levites, and gathered them 2 into the east 
 street, s 
 
 5 And said to them, Hear me, ye Levites ; 
 ^Sanctify now yourselves, and 3 sanctify the 
 house of Jehovah God of your fathers, and 
 carry forth the filth out of the holy place. 
 
 6 For our fathers have trespassed, and 
 done 4 evil in the 6 sight of Jehovah our 
 God, and have forsaken him, and have 
 'turned away their faces from the habita- 
 tion of Jehovah, and tturned their backs. 
 
 7 f 7 And they have shut up the doors of 
 the porch, and put out the lamps, and have 
 not burned incense nor offered burnt-offer- 
 ings in the holy place to the God of Israel. 
 
 8 Wherefore the e wrath of Jehovah was 
 on Judah and Jerusalem, and he hath deli- 
 vered them to Oppression, to astonishment, 
 and to 'hissing, as ye see with your eyes. 
 
 9 For lo, 'our fathers have fallen by the 
 sword, and our sons and our daughters 
 and our wives are in captivity for this. 
 
 10 Now it is in my heart to make *a co- 
 venant with Jehovah God of Israel, that 
 his fierce wrath may turn away from us. 
 
 11 My sons, be not now negligent: for 
 Jehovah hath 'chosen you to stand before 
 him, to serve him, and that ye should mi- 
 nister to him, and |jburn incense. 
 
 12 If Then the Levites arose, Mahath the 
 son of Amasai, and Joel the son of Aza- 
 riah, of the sons of the Kohathites: and of

 14 And of the sons of Heman; Jehiel, 
 and Shimei : and of the sons of Jeduthun ; 
 Shemaiah, and Uzziel. 
 
 15 And they gathered their brethren, and 
 "sanctified themselves, and came, accord- 
 ing to the commandment of the king, ||by 
 the words of Jehovah, "to cleanse the house 
 of Jehovah. 
 
 16 And the priests went into the inner 
 part of the house of Jehovah, to cleanse it, 
 and brought out all the uncleanness that 
 they found in the temple of Jehovah into 
 the court of the house of Jehovah. And 
 the Levites took it, to carry it "^forth to 
 the brook Kidron. 
 
 17 Now they began on the first day of the 
 first month to sanctify, and on the eighth 
 day of the month they came to the porch 
 of Jehovah: so they sanctified the house 
 of Jehovah, in eight days; and on the six- 
 teenth day of the first month they made an 
 end. 
 
 18 Then they went in to Hezekiah the 
 king, and said, "We have cleansed all the 
 house of Jehovah, and the altar of burnt- 
 offering, with all the vessels thereof, and 
 the "table for the arranged -bread, with all 
 the vessels thereof. 
 
 19 ,2 And all the vessels, which king Ahaz 
 in his reign did "cast away in his trans- 
 gression, we have prepared and sanctified, 
 and behold, they are before the altar of 
 Jehovah. 
 
 20 If Then Hezekiah the king arose early, 
 and gathered the rulers of the city, and 
 went up to the house of Jehovah. 
 
 21 And they brought seven bullocks, and 
 seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven 
 he-goats, for a p sin-offering for the king- 
 dom, and for the sanctuary, and for Judah. 
 And he commanded the priests the sons 
 of Aaron to offer them on the altar of Je- 
 hovah. 
 
 22 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 
 on the altar : they killed also the lambs, 
 and they sprinkled the blood on the altar. 
 
 23 And they brought 13 'near' the he-goats 
 for the sin-offering before the king and the 
 congregation; and they laid their 'hands 
 on them : 
 
 24 And the priests killed them, and they 
 made 14 expiation with their blood on 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. 
 
 25 'And he set the Levites in the house 
 of Jehovah with cymbals, with psalteries, 
 and with harps, "according to the com- 
 mandment of David, and of *Gad the 
 king's seer, and Nathan the prophet : "for 
 so was the commandment tof Jehovah tby 
 his prophets. 
 
 26 And the Levites stood with the instru- 
 ments z of David, and the priests with °the 
 
 trumpets.

Hezekiah proclaimeth a passover, 
 
 II. CHRONICLES 
 
 97 And Hezekiah commanded to offer 
 the burnt-offering on the altar. And twhen 
 the burnt-offering began, s the song of Je- 
 hovah began also with the trumpets, and 
 with the finstruments 16 of David king of 
 Israel. 
 
 28 And all the congregation worshipped, 
 and the tsingers sung, and the trumpeters 
 sounded : and all this continued until the 
 burnt-offering was finished. 
 
 29 And when they had made an end of 
 offering, the king and all who were tpre- 
 sent with him bowed themselves, and wor- 
 shipped. 
 
 30 I6 And Hezekiah the king and the 
 princes commanded the Levites to sing 
 praise to Jehovah with the words of Da- 
 vid, and of Asaph the seer. And they sung 
 praises with gladness, and they bowed 
 their heads and worshipped. 
 
 31 Then Hezekiah "spoke and said, Now 
 ye have ||consecrated yourselves to Jeho- 
 vah, come near and bring sacrifices and 
 ''thank-offerings into the house of Jehovah. 
 And the congregation brought in sacrifices 
 and thank -offerings; and, as many as were 
 of a free heart, burnt-offerings. 
 
 32 And the number of the burnt-offerings, 
 which the congregation brought, was three- 
 score and ten bullocks, a hundred rams, 
 and two hundred lambs : all these were for 
 a burnt-offering to Jehovah. 
 
 33 And the consecrated things, were six 
 hundred oxen and three thousand sheep. 
 
 34 But the priests were too few, so that 
 they could not flay all the burnt-offerings : 
 wherefore "their brethren the Levites raid 
 help them till the work was ended, and 
 untd the other priests had sanctified them- 
 selves : •'for the Levites were more ^upright 
 in heart to sanctify themselves than the 
 priests. 
 
 35 And also the burnt-offerings were in 
 abundance, with *the fat of the "thank- 
 offerings, and 'the drink-offerings for ,9 eacA 
 burnt-offering. So the service of the house 
 of Jehovah was set in order. 
 
 36 And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the 
 people, ^because God had prepared the 
 people : for the thing was done suddenly. 
 
 CHAPTER XXX. 
 
 1 Hezekiah proclaimeth a solemn passover on the 
 second month for Judah and Israel. 13 The as- 
 sembly, having destroyed the altars of idolatry, 
 keep the feast fourteen days. 27 The priests and 
 Levites bless the people. 
 
 AND Hezekiah sent to all Israel and 
 Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephra- 
 im and Manasseh, that they should come 
 to the house of Jehovah at Jerusalem, to 
 keep the passover to Jehovah God of Is- 
 rael. 
 
 2 For the king had taken counsel, and 
 his princes, and all the congregation in 
 Jerusalem, to keep the passover in the se- 
 cond "month. 
 
 3 For they could not keep it J at that time, 
 'because the priests had not sanctified 
 themselves sufficiently, neither had the 
 people gathered themselves ' at Jerusalem. 
 
 4 And the thing tpleased the king and all 
 the congregation. 
 
 5 So they established a decree to make 
 proclamation through all Israel, from Beer- 
 sheba even to Dan, that they should come 
 to keep the passover to Jehovah God of

 6 So the 4 runners went with the letters 
 tfrom the king and his princes through all 
 Israel and Judah, and according to the 
 commandment of the king, saying, Ye 
 children of Israel, "turn again to Jehovah 
 God of Abraham*, Isaac, and Israel, and 
 he will return to the remnant of you 5 who 
 have escaped 6 from the hand of 'the kings 
 of Assyria. 
 
 7 And be not ' ■'like your fathers, and 
 like your brethren, who trespassed against 
 Jehovah God of their fathers, ivho there- 
 fore «gave them up to desolation, as ye see. 
 
 8 Now tbe ye not *stiff-necked, as your 
 fathers were, but t 8 submit yourselves to Je- 
 hovah, and enter 3 his sanctuary, which he 
 hath sanctified for ever; and serve Jeho- 
 vah your God, that the fierceness of his 
 wrath may turn away from you. 
 
 9 For if ye turn again to Jehovah, your 
 brethren and your children w willJind*com- 
 passion before those who lead them cap- 
 tives, so that they "will come again into 
 this land: for Jehovah your God is '"mer- 
 ciful and ^compassionate, and will not turn 
 away his face from you, if ye ""return to him . 
 
 10 So the I4 runners passed from . city to 
 city through the country of Ephraim and 
 Manasseh even to Zebulun: but "they 
 laughed 1E iat them, and mocked them. 
 
 11 Nevertheless, OI6 some of Asher and 
 Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled them- 
 selves, and came to Jerusalem. 
 
 12 Also in Judah ? the hand of God was 
 to give them one heart to do the command- 
 ment of the king and of the princes, 9 by 
 the word of Jehovah. 
 
 13 U And there assembled at Jerusalem 
 "many people to keep the feast of unlea- 
 vened bread in the second month, a very 
 great congregation. 
 
 14 And they arose and took away the 
 'altars which were in Jerusalem, and all 
 the altars for incense took they away, and 
 cast them into the brook Kidron. 
 
 15 Then they killed the passover on the 
 fourteenth day of the second month : and 
 the priests and the Levites were 'ashamed, 
 and sanctified themselves, and brought in 
 the burnt-offerings into the house of Je- 
 hovah. 
 
 16 And they stood in ttheir place after 
 their "custom, according to the law of 
 Moses the man of God : the priests sprin- 
 kled the blood, which they received I9 from 
 the hand of the Levites. 
 
 17 For there were many in the congrega- 
 tion who were not sanctified : 'therefore the 
 Levites had the charge of the killing of 
 the passovers for every one who was not 
 clean, to sanctify them to Jehovah. 
 
 18 For a multitude of the people, even 
 "many of Ephraim, and Manasseh, Issa- 
 char and Zebulun, had not cleansed them- 
 selves, *yet did they eat the passover other- 
 wise than it was written. But Hezekiah 
 prayed for them, saying, The good Jeho- 
 vah pardon every one 
 
 19 Who yprepareth his heart to seek God, 
 Jehovah God of his fathers, though he he 
 not cleansed according to the purification 
 of the sanctuary. 
 
 20 And Jehovah hearkened to Hezekiah, 
 and healed the people.

 The people's zeal in destroying idolatry. CHAPTER XXXI. 
 
 21 And the children of Israel who were 
 tpresent at Jerusalem kept 3 thc feast of 
 unleavened bread seven days with great 
 gladness : and the Levites and the priests 
 praised Jehovah day by day, singing with 
 floud instruments to the Lord. 
 
 22 And Hezekiah spoke tcomfortably to 
 all the Levites "who taught the good know- 
 ledge of Jehovah: and they did eat 20 dur- 
 ing the feast seven days, offering '"thank- 
 offerings, and 'making confession to Je- 
 hovah God of their fathers. 
 
 23 And the whole assembly took counsel 
 to keep ** 'seven days 'more:' and they 
 kept M seven days ' more' with gladness. 
 
 24 For Hezekiah king of Judah f^gave 
 to the congregation a thousand bullocks 
 and seven thousand sheep; and the princes 
 gave to the congregation a thousand bul- 
 locks and ten thousand sheep : and a great 
 number of priests 'sanctified themselves. 
 
 25 And all the congregation of Judah, 
 with the priests and the Levites, and all 
 the congregation -that came out of Israel, 
 and the strangers who came out of the land 
 of Israel, and that dwelt in Judah, rejoiced. 
 
 26 So there was great joy in Jerusalem : 
 for since the time of Solomon the son of 
 David king of Israel there 25 had not ' been' 
 the like in Jerusalem. 
 
 27 1f Then the priests the Levites arose 
 and ^blessed the people: and their voice 
 was heard, and their prayer came up to 
 this holy dwelling-place, even to heaven. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXI. 
 
 1 The people l are forward in destroying idolatry. 2 
 Hezekiah ordereth the courses of the priests and 
 Levites, and providethfor their work and mainte- 
 nance. 5 The people's forwardness in offerings 
 and tithes. 11 Hezekiah appoint eth officers to dis- 
 pose of the tithes. 20 The sincerity of Hezekiah. 
 
 NOW when all this was finished, all Is- 
 rael 2 tpresent went out to the cities 
 of Judah, and "broke the "statues in pieces, 
 and cut down the groves, and threw down 
 the high places and the altars out of all 
 Judah and Benjamin, in Ephraim also and 
 Manasseh, tuntil they had utterly destroy- 
 ed them all. Then all the children of Is- 
 rael returned, every man to his possession, 
 to their own cities. 
 
 2 If And Hezekiah appointed the courses 
 of the priests and the Levites after their 
 courses, 4 each man according to his service, 
 the priests and Levites 'for burnt-offerings 
 and for 5 thank-off'erings, to minister, and 
 to give thanks, and to praise in the gates 
 of the 6 courts of Jehovah. 
 
 3 He appointed also the king's portion of 
 his substance for the burnt-offerings, ''even 
 for the morning and evening burnt-offer- 
 ings, and the burnt-offerings for the sab- 
 baths, and for the new-moons, and for the 
 set feasts, as it is written in the d law of 
 Jehovah. 
 
 4 Moreover, he commanded the people 
 that dwelt in Jerusalem to give the 'portion 
 of the priests and the Levites, that they 
 might be encouraged in ^the law of Jehovah. 
 
 5 If And as soon as the commandment 
 tcame abroad, the children of Israel brought 
 in abundance *the first-fruits of ' new' corn, 
 wine, and 'fresh' oil, and ||honey, and of all 
 the increase of the field ; and they brought 
 in the tithe of all things abundantly.

 Tithes and first-fruits brought in. 
 
 who dwelt in the cities of Judah, they also 
 brought in the tithe of oxen and sheep, and 
 the "tithe of holy things which were conse- 
 crated to Jehovah their God, and laid them 
 t 9 in heaps. 
 
 7 In the third month they began to lay 
 the foundation of the heaps, and finished 
 them in the seventh month. 
 
 8 And when Hezekiah and the princes 
 came and saw the heaps, they blessed Je- 
 hovah, and his people Israel. 
 
 9 Then Hezekiah questioned with the 
 priests and the Levites concerning the 
 heaps. 
 
 10 And Azariah the chief priest of the 
 house of Zadok answered him, and said, 
 |Since the people began to bring the offer- 
 ings into the house of Jehovah, we have 
 had enough to eat, and have left plenty : 
 for Jehovah hath blessed his people ; and 
 that which is left is this great store. 
 
 11 If Then Hezekiah commanded to pre- 
 pare Hchambers in the house of Jehovah ; 
 and they prepared them, 
 
 12 And brought in the offerings and the 
 tithes, and the dedicated things faithfully: 
 'over which Kononiah the Levite was 
 '"prince, and Shimei his brother was the 
 next. 
 
 13 And Jehiel, and Azaziah, and Nahath, 
 and Asahel, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, 
 and Eliel, and Ismachiah, and Mahath, 
 and Benaiah, were overseers tunder the 
 hand of Conqniah and Shimei his brother, 
 "by the "appointment of Hezekiah the king, 
 and Azariah the ,3 prince of the house of God. 
 
 14 And Kore the son of Imnah the Le- 
 vite, the porter towards the east, was over 
 the free-will -offerings of God, to distribute 
 the oblations of Jehovah, and the most 
 holy things. 
 
 15 And tnext ' to' him were Eden, and 
 Miniamin, and Jeshua, and Shemaiah, 
 Amariah, and Shecaniah, in 'the cities of 
 the priests, in their ||set office, to give to 
 their brethren by courses, as well to the 
 great as to the small : 
 
 16 Besides their "families of males,, from 
 three years old and upwards, even to every 
 one that entereth 1S the house of Jehovah, 
 his daily portion for their service in their 
 charges according to their courses ; 
 
 17 Both to the ^families of the priests by 
 the house of their fathers, and the Levites 
 "■from twenty years old and upwards, in 
 their charges, by their courses ; 
 
 18 And to the "families of all their little 
 ones, their wives, and their sons, and their 
 daughters, through all the congregation: 
 for in their ||set office they sanctified them- 
 selves in holiness : 
 
 19 Also of the sons of Aaron the priests, 
 who were in "the fields of the suburbs of 
 their cities, in every 18 city, the men who 
 were "expressed by name, to give portions 
 to all the males among the priests, and to 
 all ,9 the families among the Levites. 
 
 20 If And thus did Hezekiah throughout 
 all Judah, and ''wrought that which was 
 good and right and 20 faithful before Jeho- 
 vah his God. 
 
 21 And in every work which he began in 
 the service of the house of God, and in the 
 law, and in the commandments, to seek his 
 God, he did it with all his heart, and pros- 
 pered.

Sennacherib invadeth Judah. 
 
 II. CHRONICLES. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXII. 
 
 1 Sennacherib invading Judah, Hezekiah fortifieth 
 himself, and encourageth his people. 9 Against the 
 reproaches of Sennacherib, by message and letters, 
 Hezekiah and Isaiah pray. 21 An angel destroy eth 
 the host of the Assyrians, to the glory of Hezekiah. 
 24 Hezekiah praying in his sickness, God giveth 
 him a sign of recovery. 25 He waxing proud is 
 humbled by God. 27 His wealth and works. 31 
 Hts error in the ambassage of Babylon. 32 He 
 dying, Manasseh succeedeth him. 
 
 AFTER "these things, and 'this faithful- 
 ness, Sennacherib king of Assyria 
 came, and entered 2 Judah, and encamped 
 against the' s fortified cities, and thought tto 
 4 break into them for himself. 
 
 2 And when Hezekiah saw that Senna- 
 cherib 5 had come, and that the was "re- 
 solved to fight against Jerusalem, 
 
 3 He took counsel with his princes and 
 his mighty men to stop the waters of the 
 fountains which were without the city : and 
 they did help him. 
 
 4 So there 7 were gathered 8 many people 
 together, who stopped all the fountains, 
 and the brook 9 wnich overflowed in the 
 midst of the land, saying, Why should the 
 kings of Assyria come,and find much water ? 
 
 5 Also 'he strengthened himself, c and built 
 up all the wall that was broken, and raised 
 it up to the towers, and another wall with- 
 out, and repaired d Millo in the city of 
 David, and made darts and '"bucklers in 
 abundance. 
 
 6 And he set captains of war over the 
 people, and gathered them " to him in the 
 street of the gate of the city, and tspoke 
 comfortably to them, saying, 
 
 7 e Be strong and courageous, -'be not afraid 
 nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor 
 for all the multitude that is with him : for 
 Hhere n are more with us than with him. 
 
 8 With him is an ft arm of flesh; but "with 
 us is Jehovah our God to help us, and to 
 fight our battles. And the people trested 
 themselves on the words of Hezekiah king 
 of Judah. 
 
 9 1f 'After this did Sennacherib king of 
 Assyria send his servants to Jerusalem, 
 (but he himself laid siege against Lachish, 
 and all his tpower with him,) to Hezekiah 
 king of Judah, and to all Judah that were 
 at Jerusalem, saying, 
 
 10 'Thus saith Sennacherib king of As- 
 syria, ,3 In what do ye trust, that ye abide 
 in the "fortress in Jerusalem ? 
 
 11 Doth not Hezekiah persuade you to 
 give over yourselves to die by famine and 
 by thirst, saying, ""Jehovah our God 15 will 
 deliver us out of the hand of the king of 
 Assyria ? 
 
 12 "Hath not IG this Hezekiah taken away 
 his high places, and his altars, and com- 
 manded Judah and Jerusalem, saying, Ye 
 shall worship before one altar, and burn 
 incense on it ? 
 
 13 Know ye not what I and my fathers 
 have done to all the people of other lands? 
 "were the gods of the nations of those lands 
 l7 at all able to deliver their lands ' 8 from 
 my hand ? 
 
 14 Who was there among all the gods of 
 those nations that my fathers utterly de- 
 stroyed, who could deliver his people 19 from 
 my hand, that your God should be able to 
 deliver you 20 from my hand ?

 His reproachful message. 
 
 ceive you, nor persuade you in this man- 
 ner, neither 21 believe him: for no god of 
 any nation or kingdom was able to deliver 
 his people ^from my hand, 23 or from the 
 hand of my fathers : how much less shall 
 your God deliver you "from my hand ? 
 
 16 And his servants spoke yet more 
 against Jehovah God, and against his 
 servant Hezekiah. 
 
 17 «He wrote also letters to rail K at Je- 
 hovah God of Israel, and to speak against 
 him saying, r As the gods of the nations of 
 other lands have not delivered their people 
 26 from my hand, so shall not the God of 
 Hezekiah deliver his people 2 'from my 
 hand. 
 
 18 'Then they cried with a loud voice, in 
 the Jews' speech, to the people of Jerusa- 
 lem, 'who were on the wall, to affright 
 them, and to trouble them; that they 
 might take the city. 
 
 19 And they spoke against the God of 
 Jerusalem, as against the gods of the peo- 
 ple of the earth, which were "the work of 
 the hands of man. 
 
 20 "And for this cause Hezekiah the king, 
 and y the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz, 
 prayed and cried to heaven. 
 
 21 If z And Jehovah sent an angel, who 
 cut off' all the mighty men of valour, and 
 the ^princes and captains in the camp of 
 the king of Assyria. So he returned with 
 shame of face to his own land. And when 
 he had come into the house of his god, 
 29 those who were begotten by him tslew 
 him there with the sword. 
 
 22 Thus Jehovah saved Hezekiah and 
 the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand 
 of Sennacherib the king of Assyria, and 
 from the hand of all others, and guided 
 them on every side. 
 
 23 And many brought gifts to Jehovah 
 at Jerusalem, and a3 ° precious things to 
 Hezekiah king of Judali : so that he was 
 'magnified in the sight of all nations from 
 thenceforth. 
 
 24 If c In those days Hezekiah was sick 
 ' even' to 3I death, and prayed to Jehovah : 
 and he spoke to him, and 32 Ugave him a 
 sign. 
 
 25 But Hezekiah "rendered not again ac- 
 cording to the benefit done to him; for 'his 
 heart was lifted up : •''therefore there was 
 wrath on him, and on Judah and Jerusa- 
 lem. 
 
 26 s33 But Hezekiah humbled himself for 
 tthe pride of his heart, both he and the in- 
 habitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath 
 of Jehovah came not on them "in the days 
 of Hezekiah. 
 
 27 If And Hezekiah had exceeding ^great 
 riches and honour : and he made himself 
 treasuries for silver, and for gold, and for 
 precious stones, and for spices, and for 
 35 bucklers, and for all 36 kinds of desirable 
 vessels : 
 
 28 Storehouses also for the increase of 
 37 grain, and 'new' wine, and 'fresh' oil; 
 and stalls for all 38 kinds of beasts, and 
 cotes for flocks. 
 
 29 Moreover, he provided himself cities, 
 and possessions of flocks and herds in 
 abundance: for 'God had given him S9 very 
 great substance. 
 
 30 ""'"And this Hezekiah also stopped the 
 upper water-course of Gihon, and brought 
 
Manasseh's wicked reign.

 it straight down to the west "side of the 
 city of David. And Hezekiah prospered 
 in all his works. 
 
 31 ^Yet, in the business of the tarnbassa- 
 dors of the princes of Babylon, who 'sent 
 to him to inquire of the ^miracle which 
 was done in the land, God left him, to 
 mM prove him, that he might know all that 
 was in his heart. 
 
 32 If Now the rest of the acts of Heze- 
 kiah, and his "kindnesses, behold, they are 
 written in "the vision of Isaiah the prophet, 
 the son of Amoz, and in the "book ot the 
 kings of Judah and Israel. 
 
 33 p And Hezekiah 46 lay with his fathers, 
 and they buried him in the 47 highest of the 
 sepulchres of the sons of David : and all 
 Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem 
 * 48 honoured him at his death: and Manas- 
 sen his son reigned in his stead. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXIII. 
 
 1 Manasseh's wicked reign. 3 He setteth up idolatry, 
 and would not be admonished. 1 1 He is carried 
 into Babylon. 12 On his prayer to God he is re- 
 leased, and putteth down idolatry. 18 His acts. 
 20 He dying, Anon succeedeth him. 21 Amon 
 reigning wickedly is slain by his servants. 25 The 
 murderers being slain, Josiah succeedeth him. 
 
 MANASSEH a was twelve years old 
 when he began to reign, and he 
 reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem : 
 
 2 But did ' evil in the sight of Jehovah, 
 like 2 the 'abominations of the heathen, 
 whom Jehovah had cast out before the 
 children of Israel. 
 
 3 ^ For the built again the high places 
 which Hezekiah his father had c broken 
 down; and he reared up altars for Baalim, 
 and ''made groves, and worshipped 'all the 
 host of heaven, and served them. 
 
 4 Also he built altars in the house of Je- 
 hovah, 3 of Avhich Jehovah had said, -^In 
 Jerusalem shall my name be for ever. 
 
 5 And he built altars for all the host of 
 heaven *in the two courts of the house of 
 Jehovah. 
 
 6 *And he caused his children to pass 
 through the fire in the valley of the son of 
 Hinnom : 'also he practised sorcery, and 
 used enchantments, and used witchcraft, 
 and "dealt with a familiar spirit, and with 
 wizards : he wrought much evil in the sight 
 of Jehovah, to provoke him 5 . 
 
 7 And ! he set a carved image, the idol 
 which he had made, in the house of God, 
 of which God had said to David and to 
 Solomon his son, In "this house and in Je- 
 rusalem, which I have chosen before all 
 the tribes of Israel, will I put my name 
 for ever : 
 
 8 "Neither will I any more remove the 
 foot of Israel from 6 the land which I have 
 appointed for your fathers; 7 if they will 
 take heed to do all that I have commanded 
 them, according to the whole law and the 
 Ordinances and the judgments by the 
 hand of Moses. 
 
 9 So Manasseh made Judah and the in- 
 habitants of Jerusalem 10 err, and " do 
 worse than the heathen, whom Jehovah 
 had destroyed before the children of Is- 
 rael. 
 
 10 And Jehovah spoke to Manasseh, and 
 to his people : but they would not hearken.

 of Assyria, who took Manasseh among the 
 thorns, and y bound him with "chains, and 
 carried him to Babylon. 
 
 12 And when he was in affliction, he be- 
 sought Jehovah his God, and 'humbled 
 himself greatly before the God of his 
 fathers, 
 
 13 And prayed to him: and he was 'en- 
 treated 13 for him, and heard his supplica- 
 tion, and brought him again to Jerusalem 
 to his kingdom. Then Manasseh 'knew 
 that Jehovah m was God. 
 
 14 Now after this, he built a wall without 
 the city of David, on the west l6 of 'Gihon, 
 in the 16 channel, even to the "entrance 
 at the fish-gate, and encompassed " 18 thc 
 mound, and raised it up a very great 
 height, and put captains of war in all the 
 ' 9 fortified cities of Judah. 
 
 15 And he took away *the strange gods, 
 and the idol out of the house of Jehovah, 
 and all the altars which he had built in the 
 mount of the house of Jehovah, and in Je- 
 rusalem, and cast them out of the city. 
 
 16 And he repaired the altar of Jehovah, 
 and sacrificed thereon 20 thank-ofterings and 
 Mother offerings, and commanded Judah 
 to serve Jehovah God of Israel. 
 
 17 z22 Yet the people sacrificed still in the 
 high places, 23 to Jehovah their God only. 
 
 18 If Now the rest of the acts of Manas- 
 seh, and his prayer to his God, and the 
 words of "the seers who spoke to him in 
 the name of Jehovah God of Israel, be- 
 hold, they are ivritten in the ^acts of the 
 kings of Israel. 
 
 19 His prayer also, and how God was 
 entreated "for him, and all his sin, and 
 his trespass, and the places wherein he 
 built high places, and set up groves and 
 graven images, before he was humbled : 
 behold, they are written 26 in the '"acts of 
 ||the seers. 
 
 20 If 'So Manasseh 28 lay with his fathers, 
 and they buried him in his own house: 
 and Amon his son reigned in his stead. 
 
 21 If 'Amon urns two and twenty years 
 old when he began to reign, and he reigned 
 two years in Jerusalem. 
 
 22 But he did 29 evil in the sight of Jeho- 
 vah, as did Manasseh his father : for Amon 
 sacrificed to all the carved images which 
 Manasseh his father had made, and served 
 them ; 
 
 23 And humbled not himself before Je- 
 hovah, rf as Manasseh his father had hum- 
 bled himself; but Amon ttrespassed more 
 and more. 
 
 24 'And his servants conspired against 
 him, and slew him in his own house. 
 
 25 If But the people of the land slew all 
 those who had conspired against king 
 Amon ; and the people of the land made 
 Josiah his son king in his stead. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXIV. 
 
 1 Josiah's good reign. 3 He destroyeth idolatry. S He 
 taketh order for the repair of the temple. 14 Hil- 
 kiah having found abook of the law, Josiah sendeth 
 to Huldah to inquire of JEHOVAH. 23 Huldah 
 prophesieth the destruction of Jerusalem, but respite 
 thereof in Josiah's time. 29 Josiah, causing it to 
 be read in a solemn assembly, reneweth the cove- 
 nant with God. 
 
 JOSIAH a was eight years old when he 
 began to reign, and he reigned in Je- 
 rusalem one and thirty years. 
 2 And he did ' right in the sight of Jeho-

Josiali's good reign.

 vah, and walked in the ways of David his 
 father, and 2 turned neither to the right 
 hand, nor to the left. 
 
 3 t For in the eighth year of his reign, 
 while he was yet 3 a lad, he began, to 'seek 
 after the God of David his father : and in 
 the twelfth year he began 'to 4 cleanse Ju- 
 dah and Jerusalem ''from the high places, 
 and the groves, and the carved images, and 
 the molten images. 
 
 4 e And they broke down the altars of 
 Baalim in his presence ; and the ||images, 
 that were on high above them, he cut down ; 
 and the groves, and the carved images, and 
 the molten images, he broke in pieces, and 
 s beat to dust % 'and strewed it on the 
 tgraves of those who had sacrificed to them. 
 
 5 And he e burnt the bones of the priests 
 on their altars, and cleansed Judali and 
 Jerusalem. 
 
 6 And so did he in the cities of Manas- 
 seh, and Ephraim, and Simeon, even to 
 Naphtali, with their 7 axes round about. 
 
 7 And when he had broken down the al- 
 tars and the groves, and had A beaten the 
 graven images tto powder, and cut down 
 all the 8 idols through all the land of Is- 
 rael, he returned to Jerusalem. 
 
 8 If Now 'in the eighteenth year of his 
 reign, when he had 9 cTeansed the land, and 
 the house, he sent Shaphan the son of 
 Azaliah, and Maaseiah the 10 prince of the 
 city, and Joah the son of Joahaz the re- 
 corder, to repair the house of Jehovah his 
 God. 
 
 9 And when they came to Hilkiah the 
 high priest, they delivered *the money that 
 was brought into the house of God, which 
 the Levites that kept the doors had ga- 
 thered "from the hand of Manasseh and 
 Ephraim, and "from all the remnant of 
 Israel, and "from all Judah and Benjamin ; 
 and they returned to Jerusalem. 
 
 10 And they put it in the hand of the 
 workmen who had the oversight of the 
 house of Jehovah, and they gave it to the 
 workmen who wrought in the house of Je- 
 hovah, to repair andmend the house : 
 
 11 Even to the artificers and builders 
 gave they it, to buy hewn stone, and tim- 
 ber for couplings, and ||to floor the houses 
 which the kings of Judah had destroyed. 
 
 12 And the men did the work faithfully: 
 and the overseers of them were Jahath and 
 Obadiah, the Levites, of the sons of Me- 
 rari: and Zechariah and Meshullam, of 
 the sons of the Kohathites, to 12 oversee it; 
 and others of the Levites, all 13 who were 
 skilled in instruments of music. 
 
 13 Also they were over the bearers of 
 burdens, and were overseers of all who 
 wrought the work in any 14 kind of service : 
 'and of the Levites there were scribes, and 
 officers, and porters. 
 
 14 IT And when they brought out the mo- 
 ney that was brought into the house of Je- 
 hovah, Hilkiah the priest "found 15 the book 
 of the law of Jehovah given tby Moses. 
 
 15 And Hilkiah 16 spoke and said to Sha 
 phan the scribe, I have found the book of 
 the law in the house of Jehovah. And 
 Hilkiah "gave the book to Shaphan. 
 
 16 And Shaphan carried the book to the 
 king, and brought the king word 18 again, 
 saying, All that was committed tto thy 
 servants, they do 19 .

 17 And they have tgathered together the 
 money which was found in the house of 
 Jehovah, and have delivered it into the 
 hand of the overseers, and into the hand 
 of the workmen. 
 
 18 Then Shaphan the scribe told the king, 
 saying, Hilkiah the priest hath given me a 
 book. And Shaphan read 20 in it before the 
 king. 
 
 19 And it came to pass when the king 
 had heard the words of the law, that he 
 rent his clothes. 
 
 20 And the king commanded Hilkiah, and 
 Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and ||Abdon 
 the son of Micah, and Shaphan the scribe, 
 and Asaiah a servant of the king's, saying, 
 
 21 Go, inquire of Jehovah for me, and 
 for those who are left in Israel, and in Ju- 
 dah, concerning the words of the book 
 21 which hath been found : for great is the 
 wrath of Jehovah that is poured out upon 
 us, because our fathers have not kept the 
 word of Jehovah, to do "according to all 
 that is written in this book. 
 
 22 And Hilkiah, and those whom the king 
 had appointed', went to Huldah the pro- 
 phetess, the wife of Shallum the son of "Tik- 
 vath, the son of || Hasrah, keeper of the 
 twardrobe ; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem 
 in the ^second part of the city :) and they 
 spoke to her to that effect. 
 
 23 If And she answered them, Thus saith 
 Jehovah God of Israel, Tell ye the man 
 who sent you to me, 
 
 24 Thus saith Jehovah, Behold ? I will 
 bring evil on this place, and on the inhabit- 
 ants thereof, even all the curses that are 
 written in the book which they have read 
 before the king of Judah : 
 
 25 Because they have forsaken me, and 
 have burned incense to other gods, that 
 they might provoke me 24 with all the 
 works of their hands ; therefore my wrath 
 shall be poured out on this place, and shall 
 not be quenched. 
 
 26 And as for the king of Judah, who 
 sent you to inquire of jEHOVAH.^thus shall 
 ye say to him, Thus saith Jehovah God of 
 Israel concerning the words which thou 
 hast heard ; 
 
 27 Because thy heart was tender, and 
 thou didst humble thyself before God when 
 thou heardest his words against this place, 
 and against the inhabitants thereof, and 
 humbledst thyself before me, and didst rend 
 thy clothes, and weep before me ; I have 
 even heard thee also, saith Jehovah. 
 
 28 Behold, I will gather thee to thy fa- 
 thers, and thou shalt be gathered to thy 
 grave in peace, neither shall thine eyes see 
 all the evil which I will bring on this place, 
 and on the inhabitants of the same. So 
 they brought the king word again. 
 
 29 If "Then the king sent and gathered 2fi 
 all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem. 
 
 30 And the king went up into the house 
 of Jehovah, and all the men of Judah and 
 the inhabitants of Jerusalem,and the priests, 
 and the Levites, and all the people, tgreat 
 and small : and he read in their "hearing 
 all the words of the book of the covenant 
 which was found in the house of Jehovah. 
 
 31 And the king stood in 'his place, and 
 made a covenant before Jehovah, to walk 
 after Jehovah, and to keep his command- 
 ments, and his testimonies, and his ^ordi- 
 
Jl solemn passover kept. 
 
 nances, with all his heart, and with all his 
 soul, to perform the words of the covenant 
 which are written in Z9 the book. 
 
 32 And he caused all that were tpresent 
 in Jerusalem and Benjamin to stand to it. 
 And the inhabitants of Jerusalem did ac- 
 cording to the covenant of God, the God 
 of their fathers. 
 
 33 And Josiah took away all the 'abomi- 
 nations out of all the countries 30 which be- 
 longed to the children of Israel, and made 
 all that were present in Israel to serve, 
 even to serve Jehovah their God. r31 All 
 his days they departed not tfrom following 
 Jehovah, the God of their fathers. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXV. 
 
 1 Josiah keepeth a most solemn passover. 20 He, 
 provoking Pliaraoh-necho, is slain at Megiddo. 
 25 Lamentations for Josiah. 
 
 1 A ND "Josiah kept a passover to Jeho- 
 •**■ vah in Jerusalem: and they killed 
 the passover on the 'fourteenth day of the 
 first month. 
 
 2 And he set the priests in their 'charges, 
 and ''encouraged them z for the service of 
 the house of Jehovah, 
 
 3 And said to the Levites "who taught all 
 Israel, who were holy to Jehovah, -Tut 
 the holy ark ff in the house which Solomon 
 the son of David king of Israel 3 built : Ht 
 shall not be a burden on your shoulders: 
 serve now Jehovah your God, and his 
 people Israel, 
 
 4 And prepare yourselves by the "houses 
 of your fathers According to your courses, 
 according to the ""writing of David king of 
 Israel, and according to the 'writing of 
 Solomon his son : 
 
 5 And "stand in the holy place according 
 to the divisions of tthe families of the fa- 
 thers of your brethren tthe people, and 5 
 the division of the families of the Levites. 
 
 6 So kill the passover, and "sanctify your- 
 selves, and prepare your brethren, that they 
 may do according to the word of, Jehovah 
 by the hand of Moses. 
 
 7 And Josiah t "gave to the people, of the 
 flock, lambs and kids, all for the passover- 
 offerings, for all who were present, to the 
 number of thirty thousand, and three thou- 
 sand bullocks: these were of the king's 
 substance. 
 
 8 And his princes tgave willingly to the 
 people, to the priests, and to the Levites : 
 Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, rulers 
 of the house of God, gave to the priests for 
 the passover-offerings two thousand and 
 six hundred small cattle, and three hun- 
 dred oxen. 
 
 9 Cononiah also, and Shemaiah, and Ne- 
 thaneel, his brethren, and Hashabiah, and 
 Jeiel, and Jozabad, chief of the Levites, 
 tgave to the Levites for passover-offerings 
 five thousand small cattle, and five hun- 
 dred oxen. 
 
 10 So the service was prepared, and the 
 priests 'stood in their place, and the Le- 
 vites in their courses, according to the 
 king's commandment. 
 
 11 And they killed the passover, and the 
 
 Eriests 'sprinkled the blood from their 
 ands, and the Levites 'flayed them. 
 
 12 And they removed the burnt-offerings, 
 that they might give according to the divi- 
 sions of the families of the people, to offer 
 to the Lord, as it is written 'in the book

 Josiah is made king. 
 And so did they with the 
 
 of Moses, 
 oxen. 
 
 13 And they 'roasted the passover with 
 fire according to the 6 custom : but the other 
 holy offerings u7 they boiled in pots, and in 
 caldrons, and in pans, and tdivided them 
 speedily among all the people. 
 
 14 And afterward they made ready for 
 themselves, and for the priests: because 
 the priests the sons of Aaron were busied 
 in offering 8 burnt-offerings and the fat until 
 night ; therefore the Levites prepared for 
 themselves, and for the priests the sons of 
 Aaron. 
 
 15 And the singers the sons of Asaph 
 were in their t place, according to the 
 Commandment ot David, and Asaph, and 
 Heman, and Jeduthun the king's seer; 
 and the porters * waited at every gate; 
 they might not depart from their service ; 
 for their brethren the Levites prepared for 
 them. 
 
 16 So all the service of Jehovah was pre- 
 pared the same day, to keep the passover, 
 and to offer burnt-offerings on the altar 
 of Jehovah, according to_ the command- 
 ment of king Josiah. 
 
 17 And the children of Israel ivho were 
 tpresent kept the passover at that time, 
 and the feast of z unleavened bread seven 
 days. 
 
 18 And "there was no passover like 9 that 
 kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the 
 prophet; neither did all the kings of Israel 
 keep such a passover as Josiah kept, and 
 the priests, and the Levites, and all Judah 
 and Israel who were present, and the in- 
 habitants of Jerusalem. 
 
 19 In the eighteenth year of the reign of 
 Josiah this passover was kept. 
 
 20 If 'After all this, when Josiah had pre- 
 pared the ttemple, Necho king of Egypt 
 came up to fight against Charchemish by 
 Euphrates: and Josiah went out against 
 him 
 
 '"messengers to him, say- 
 I to do with thee, thou 
 / come not against thee 
 fhisday, but against tthe house wherewith 
 I have war: for God commanded me to 
 make haste : forbear "to meddle with God, 
 who is with me, that he destroy thee 
 not. 
 
 22 12 But Josiah would not turn his face 
 from him, but "disguised himself that he 
 might fight with him, and hearkened not 
 to the words of Necho from the mouth of 
 God, and came to fight in the valley of 
 Megiddo. 
 
 23 And the archers shot at king Josiah ; 
 and the king said to his servants, Have me 
 away; for I am "severely tvvounded. 
 
 24 'His servants therefore took him out 
 of that chariot, and put him in the second 
 chariot which he had; and they brought 
 him to Jerusalem, and he died, and was 
 buried in M the sepulchres of his fathers. 
 And -fall Judah and Jerusalem mourned 
 for Josiah. 
 
 25 If And Jeremiah lamented for Josiah: 
 and "all the singing-men and the singing- 
 women spoke of Josiah in their lamenta- 
 tions to this day, 'and made them an 
 ordinance in Israel : and behold, they are 
 written in the lamentations. 
 
 26 Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and 
 
 341 
 
 21 But he sent 
 ing, What have

 his "kindness, according to that which was 
 written in the law of Jehovah, 
 27 And his deeds, first and last, behold, 
 they are written in the book of the kings

 1 Jehoahaz succeeding is deposed by Pharaoh, and 
 carried into Egypt. 5 Jehoiakim reigning ill is 
 carried bound into Babylon. 9 Jehoiachin suc- 
 ceeding reigneth ill, and is brought into Babylon. 
 1 1 Zedekiah succeeding reigneth ill, and despiseth 
 the prophets, and rebelleth against Nebuchadnez- 
 zar. 14 Jerusalem, for the sins of the priests and 
 people, is wholly destroyed. 22 The proclamation 
 of Cyrus. 
 
 THEN °the people of the land took Je- 
 hoahaz the son of Josiah, and made 
 him king in his father's stead in Jerusalem. 
 
 2 Jehoahaz was twenty and three years 
 old when he began to reign, and he reigned 
 three months in Jerusalem. 
 
 3 And the king of Egypt 'removed him 
 at Jerusalem, and 2 fined the land 3 a hun- 
 dred talents of silver and a talent of gold. 
 
 4 And the king of Egypt made Eliakim 
 his brother king over Judah and Jerusa- 
 lem, and turned his name to Jehoiakim. 
 And Necho took Jehoahaz his brother, 
 and carried him to Egypt. 
 
 5 If 'Jehoiakim was twenty and five years 
 old when he began to reign, and he reigned 
 eleven years in Jerusalem : and he did 4 
 evil in the sight of Jehovah his God. 
 
 6 "Against him came up Nebuchadnez- 
 zar king of Babylon, and bound him in 
 5 chains, to 'carry him to Babylon. 
 
 7 'Nebuchadnezzar also carried 'some' 
 of the vessels of the house of Jehovah to 
 Babylon, and put them in his temple at 
 Babylon. 
 
 8 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, 
 and his abominations which he did, and 
 that which was found on him, behold, they 
 are written in the book of the kings of Is- 
 rael and Judah. And || Jehoiachin his son 
 reigned in his stead. 
 
 9 *ff s Jehoiachin was eight years old when 
 he began to reign, and he reigned three 
 months and ten days in Jerusalem: and 
 he did 6 evil in the sight of Jehovah. 
 
 10 And twhen the year had expired, 
 *king Nebuchadnezzar sent, and brought 
 him to Babylon, 'with fdesirable vessels 
 of the house of Jehovah, and made || 'Ze- 
 dekiah his brother king over Judah and 
 Jerusalem. 
 
 11 If 'Zedekiah was one and twenty years 
 old when he began to reign, and reigned 
 eleven years in Jerusalem. 
 
 12 And he did 8 evil in the sight of Jeho- 
 vah his God, and humbled not himself be- 
 fore Jeremiah the prophet speaking from 
 the mouth of Jehovah.

 13 And m he also rebelled against king Ne- 
 buchadnezzar, who had made him swear by 
 God : but he "stiffened his neck, and hard- 
 ened his heart from turning to Jehovah 
 God of Israel. 
 
 14 If 9 And all the chief of the priests, and 
 the people, transgressed very much I0 ac- 
 cording to all the abominations of the hea- 
 then ; and polluted the house of Jehovah 
 which he had hallowed in Jerusalem. 
 
 15 "And Jehovah God of their fathers 
 sent to them tby his messengers, rising up 
 [| "early and sending; because he had com- 
 passion on his people, and on his dwelling- 
 place : 
 
 16 But p they mocked the messengers of 
 God, and 'despised his words, and ''^scoff- 
 ed at his prophets, until the 'wrath of Je- 
 hovah arose against his people, till there 
 was no tremedy. 
 
 17 "Therefore he brought upon them the 
 king of the Chaldeans, who "slew their 
 young men with the sword in the house of 
 their sanctuary, and had no compassion 
 on young man or maiden, old man, or him 
 13 who was gray -headed : he gave ,4 all into 
 his hand. 
 
 18 =And all the vessels of the house of 
 God, great and small, and the treasures of 
 the house of Jehovah, and the treasures 
 of the king, and of his princes ; all these 
 he brought to Babylon. 
 
 19 y And they burnt the house of God, 
 and broke down the wall of Jerusalem, 
 and burnt all the palaces thereof with fire, 
 and destroyed all the "desirable vessels 
 thereof. 
 
 20 And t those who had escaped from 
 the sword carried he away to Babylon ; 
 "where they were servants to him and his 
 sons until the reign of the kingdom of 
 Persia : 
 
 21 To fulfil the word of Jehovah by the 
 mouth of 'Jeremiah, until the land 'had 
 enjoyed her sabbaths : for as long as she 
 lay desolate d she kept sabbath, to fulfil 
 threescore and ten years. 
 
 22 If e Now in the first year of Cyrus king 
 of Persia, that the word of Jehovah ' 6 by 
 the mouth of 'Jeremiah might be "fulfilled, 
 Jehovah stirred up the spirit of *Cyrus 
 king of Persia, ' so' that he made a pro- 
 clamation through all his kingdom, and 
 put it also in writing, saying, 
 
 23 Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, 
 18 Jehovah God of heaven hath given me 
 all the kingdoms of the earth ; and he hath 
 charged me to build him a house 19 at Je- 
 rusalem, which is in Judah. Who is 
 there among you of all his people? Je- 
 hovah his God be with him, and let him 
 go up.

 CHAPTER III. 
 
 1 The altar is set up. 4 Offerings frequented. 7 
 Workmen prepared. 8 The foundations of the 
 temple are laid in great joy and mourning. 
 
 A ND when the seventh month 'had come, 
 -^*- and the children of Israel were in the 
 cities, the people gathered themselves 2 as 
 one man to Jerusalem. 
 
 2 Then stood up ||Jeshua the son of Jo- 
 zadak, and his brethren the priests, and 
 HZerubbabel the son of 'Shealtiel, and his 
 brethren, and built the altar of the God of 
 Israel, to offer burnt-offerings thereon, as 
 it is 'written in the law of Moses the man 
 of God. 
 
 3 And they set the altar upon its bases ; 
 for fear was on them because of the people 
 of those countries : and they offered burnt- 
 offerings thereon to Jehovah, even ''burnt- 
 offerings morning and evening. 
 ^•They kept also the feast of 8 booths, 'as 
 it is written, and ^offered the daily burnt- 
 offerings by number, according to the cus- 
 tom, tas the duty of every day required ; 
 
 5 And afterward offered the ''continual 
 burnt-offering, both of the new-moons, 
 and of all the set feasts of Jehovah that 
 were consecrated, and of every one that 
 willingly offered a free-will-offering to Je- 
 hovah. 
 
 6 From the first day of the seventh month 
 they began to offer burnt-offerings to the 
 Lord. But tthe foundation of the temple 
 of Jehovah was not yet laid. 
 
 7 They gave money also to the masons, 
 and to the Hcarpenters ; and '"food, and 
 drink, and oil, to 6 the Zidonians, and to 
 6 the Tyrians, to bring cedar-trees from 
 Lebanon to the sea or *Joppa, 'according 
 to the 7 permission which they had of Cyrus 
 king of Persia. 
 
 8 f Now in the second year of their com- 
 ing to the house of God at Jerusalem, in the 
 second month, began Zerubbabel the son 
 of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Joza- 
 dak, and the remnant of their brethren the 
 priests and the Levites, and s those who had 
 come 9 from the captivity to Jerusalem; 
 "*and appointed the Levites, from twenty 
 years old and upwards, to '"oversee the 
 work of the house of Jehovah. 
 
 9 Then stood "Jeshua with his sons and 
 his brethren, Kadmiel and his sons, the 
 sons of f|Judah, ttogether, to "oversee the 
 workmen in the house of God : the sons 
 of Henadad, with their sons and their 
 brethren the Levites. 
 
 10 And when the builders laid the foun- 
 dation of the temple of Jehovah, "they set 
 the priests in their apparel with trumpets, 
 and the Levites the sons of Asaph with 
 cymbals, to praise Jehovah, ^according to 
 the ^ordinance of David king of Israel. 
 
 11 ? And they sung together by course in 
 praising and giving thanks to Jehovah; 
 'because he is good, 'for his "kindness en- 
 dureth for ever towards Israel. And all 
 the people shouted with a great shout, when 
 they praised Jehovah, because the foun- 
 dation of the house of Jehovah was laid. 
 
 12 'But many of the priests and Levites 
 and chief of the fathers, luho were "old 
 men, who had seen the first house, when 
 the foundation of this house was laid ' 6 in 
 their sight, wept with a loud voice; and 
 many shouted aloud for joy : 
 
The adversaries endeavour 
 
 CHAPTERS IV. V. 
 
 13 So that the people could not discern 
 the noise of the shout of joy from the noise 
 of the weeping of the people : for the peo- 
 ple shouted with a loud shout, and the 
 noise was heard afar off. 
 
 CHAPTER IV. 
 
 I The adversaries, being not accepted in the building 
 of the temple with the Jews, endeavour to hinder 
 it. 7 Their letter to Artaxerxes. 17 The decree 
 of Artaxerxes. 23 The building is hindered. 
 
 NOW when "the adversaries of Judah 
 and Benjamin heard that tthe children 
 of the captivity 'were building the temple 
 to Jehovah God of Israel ; 
 
 2 Then they came ' near' to Zerubbabel, 
 and to the chief of the fathers, and said to 
 them, Let us build with you : for we seek 
 your God, as ye do; and we do sacrifice 
 to him *since the days of Esar-haddon king 
 of Assur, who brought us up hither. 
 
 3 But Zerubbabel, and Jeshua, and the 
 rest of the chief of the fathers of Israel, 
 said to them, c Ye have nothing to do with 
 us to build a house to our God ; but we 
 ourselves together will build to Jehovah 
 God of Israel, as *king Cyrus the king of 
 Persia hath commanded us. 
 
 4 Then "the people of the land weakened 
 the hands of the people of Judah, and 
 troubled them in building, 
 
 5 And hired counsellors against them, to 
 frustrate their purpose, all the days of 
 Cyrus king of Persia, even until the reign 
 or Darius king of Persia. 
 
 6 And in the reign of tAhasuerus, in the 
 beginning of his reign, they wrote 2 an ac- 
 cusation against the inhabitants of Judah 
 and Jerusalem. 
 
 7 1f And in the days of Artaxerxes wrote 
 IIBishlam, Mithredath, Tabeel.and the rest 
 of their {companions, to Artaxerxes king 
 of Persia ; and the writing of the letter 
 -was written in the Syrian tongue, and in- 
 terpreted in the Syrian tongue. 
 
 8 Rehum the 'chancellor and Shimshai 
 the ||scribe wrote a letter against Jerusa- 
 lem to Artaxerxes the king Hhus : 
 
 9 .Then wrote Rehum the chancellor, and 
 Shimshai the scribe, and the rest of their 
 t companions; 'the Dinaites, the Aphar- 
 sathchites, the Tarpelites, the Apharsites, 
 the Archevites, the Babylonians, the Su- 
 sanchites, the Dehavites, and the Elamites, 
 
 10 *And the rest of the nations whom the 
 great and noble Asnapper brought over, 
 and set in the cities of Samaria, and the 
 rest who are on this side 'of the river, 
 "and tat such a time. 
 
 11 If This is the copy of the letter which 
 they sent to him, even to Artaxerxes the 
 king ; Thy servants the men on this side 
 'of the river, and at such a time. 
 
 12 Be it known to the king, that the Jews 
 who came up from thee to us, have come 
 to Jerusalem, building the rebellious and 
 the bad city, and have ||set up the walls 
 thereof, and t Repaired the foundations. 
 
 13 Be it known now to the king, that, if 
 this city be built, and the walls set up, 6 
 they will not tpay, 'tribute, toll, and cus 
 torn, 'so thou wilt '

 15 That search may be made in the book 
 of the records of thy fathers : so wilt thou 
 find in the book of the records, and know 
 that this city is a rebellious city, and hurt- 
 ful to kings and provinces, and that they 
 have 12 made sedition t within the same 
 "anciently: for which cause this city was 
 destroyed. 
 
 16 We "acquaint the king that, if thip 
 city be built, 15 and the walls thereof set 
 up, by this means thou wilt have no por- 
 tion on this side ' of ' the river. 
 
 17 Thenthe king sent 16 a decree to Rehum 
 the chancellor, and to Shimshai the scribe, 
 and to. the rest of their tcompanions that 
 dwell in Samaria, and to the rest beyond 
 the river, Peace, and at such a time. 
 
 18 The letter which ye sent to us hath 
 been plainly read before me. 
 
 19 And tl commanded, and search hath 
 been made, and it is found that this city 
 "anciently hath tmade insurrection against 
 kings, and that rebellion and sedition have 
 been made therein. 
 
 20 There have been mighty kings also 
 over Jerusalem, who have 'ruled over all 
 countries 'beyond the river: and tribute, 
 toll, and custom, were paid to them. 
 
 21 t I9 Now give commandment to cause 
 these men to cease, and that this city be 
 not built, until another commandment shall 
 19 have been given from me. 
 
 22 Take heed now that ye fail not to do 
 this : why should damage grow to the hurt 
 of the kings ? 
 
 23 If Now when the copy of king Arta- 
 xerxes' letter was read before Rehum, and 
 Shimshai the scribe, and their companions, 
 they went up in haste to Jerusalem to the 
 Jews, and made them M cease tby force 
 and power. 
 
 24 Then ceased the work of the house of 
 God which is at Jerusalem. So it ceased 
 s, until the second year of the reign of Da- 
 rius king of Persia. 
 
 CHAPTER V. 
 
 1 Zerubbabel and Jeshua, incited by Haggai and Ze- 
 chariah, set forward the building of the temple. 
 3 Tatnai and Shethar-boznai could not hinder the 
 Jews. 6 Their letter to Darius against the Jews. 
 
 THEN the prophets, 'Haggai the prophet, 
 and 'Zechanah the son of Iddo, pro- 
 Jhesied to the Jews who were in Judah and 
 erusalem in the name of the God of Israel, 
 even to them. 
 
 2 Then arose ' d Zerubbabel the son of She - 
 altiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and 
 began to build the house of God which is 
 at Jerusalem : and with them were the 
 prophets of God helping them. 
 
 3 ^f At the same time came to them 'Tat- 
 nai, governor on this side 'of the river, 
 and Shethar-boznai, and their companions, 
 and said thus to them, 'Who hath com- 
 manded you to build this house, and to 
 make up this wall ? 
 
 4 «Then said we to them 2 thus, What 
 are the names of the men twho make this 
 building ? 
 
 5 But *the eye of their God was on the 
 elders of the Jews, ' so' that they could not 
 cause them to cease, till the 3 cause came 
 to Darius: and then they returned 'an- 
 swer by letter concerning this matter. 
 
 6 If The copy of the letter which Tatnai. 
 governor on this side 'of the river, ana 
 
 345 
 
the 
 'of 
 
 Harms' decree in the Jews' 1 favour. 
 
 Shethar-boznai, *and his companions 
 Apharsachites, who were on this side 
 the river, sent to Darius the king : 
 
 7 They sent a letter to him, t wherein 
 was written thus ; To Darius the king, all 
 peace. 
 
 8 Be it known to the king, that we went 
 into the province of Judea, to the house of 
 the great God, which is built with tgreat 
 stones, and timber is laid in the walls, and 
 this work goeth s on ' carefully,' and pros- 
 pered in their hands. 
 
 9 Then we asked those elders, and said 
 to them thus, ' Who commanded you to 
 build this house, and to make up these 
 walls ? 
 
 10 We asked their names also, to ''ac- 
 quaint thee, that we might write the names 
 of the men who were the chief of them. 
 
 11 And thus they returned us answer, 
 saying, We are the servants of the God of 
 heaven and earth, and 6 are building the 
 house which was built 6 many years ago, 
 which a great king of Israel built m and 
 set up. 
 
 12 But "after ' our fathers had provoked 
 the God of heaven to wrath, he gave them 
 into the hand of "Nebuchadnezzar the king 
 of Babylon, the Chaldean, who destroyed 
 this house, and carried the people away 
 into Babylon. 
 
 13 But in the first year of r Cyrus the 
 king of Babylon, 8 king Cyrus made a de- 
 cree to build this house of God. 
 
 14 And 'the vessels also of gold and sil- 
 ver of the house of God, which Nebuchad- 
 nezzar took out of the temple that was in 
 Jerusalem, and brought them into the tem- 
 ple of Babylon, those did Cyrus the king 
 take out of the temple of Babylon, and 
 they were delivered to one, r whose name 
 was Sheshbazzar, whom he had made 
 llgovernor ; 
 
 15 And said to him, Take these vessels, 
 go, carry them into the temple which is in 
 Jerusalem, and let the house of God be 
 built in its place. 
 
 16 Then came the same Sheshbazzar, 
 and 'laid the foundation of the house of 
 God which is in Jerusalem: and since that 
 time even until now hath it been in build- 
 ing, and 'yet it is not finished. 
 
 if Now therefore, if it seem good to the 
 king, "let 9 search be made in the king's 
 treasure-house, which is there at Babylon, 
 whether it be w true, that a decree was 
 made "by Cyrus the king to build this 
 house of God at Jerusalem, and let the 
 king send his pleasure to us concerning 
 this matter. 
 
 CHAPTER VI. 
 
 1 Darius, finding the decree of Cyrus, makelh a new 
 decree for the advancement of the building. 13 By 
 the help of the enemies, and the directions of the 
 prophets, the temple is finished. 16 The feast of 
 the dedication is kept, 19 and the passover. 
 
 THEN Darius the king made a decree, 
 "and search was made in the house of 
 the 'books, where the treasures were tlaid 
 up in Babylon. 
 
 2 And there was_ found at ||Achmetha, in 
 the palace which is in the province of the 
 Medes, a *book, and therein ivas a record 
 thus written :

 4 b With three rows of great stones, and a

 Jerusalem, and brought to Babylon, be re- 
 stored, and tbrought again to the temple 
 which is at Jerusalem, 5 eaeA one to its 
 place, and place them in the house of God. 
 
 6 d Now therefore, Tatnai, governor be- 
 yond the river, Shethar-boznai, and tyour 
 companions the Apharsachites, who are 
 beyond the river, be ye far from thence : 
 
 7 Let the work of this house of God alone; 
 let the governor of the Jews, and the elders 
 of the Jews, build this house of God in its 
 place. 
 
 8 Moreover, tl make a decree 'as to'' 
 what ye shall do to the elders of these Jews 
 for the building of this house of God : that 
 6 from the king's goods, even of the tribute 
 beyond the river, forthwith expenses be 
 given to these men, that they be not thin- 
 dered. 
 
 9 And that which they ' need 8 , both young 
 bullocks, and rams, and lambs, for the 
 burnt-offerings of the God of heaven, wheat, 
 salt, wine, and oil, according to the ap- 
 pointment of the priests who are at Jeru- 
 salem, let it be given them day by day 
 without fail : 
 
 10 "That they may offer sacrifices tof 
 sweet 9 odours to the God of heaven, and 
 'pray for the life of the king, and of his 
 sons. 
 
 11 Also I have made a decree, that who- 
 ever shall alter this word, let timber be 
 pulled down from his house, and being set 
 up, tlet him be hanged thereon ; *ana let 
 his house be made a dunghill for this. 
 
 12 And the God who hath caused his 
 ''name to dwell there destroy all kings and 
 people, that shall put to their hand to alter 
 and to destroy this house of God which is 
 at Jerusalem. I Darius have made a de- 
 cree ; let it be "executed carefully. 
 
 13 ^ Then Tatnai, governor on this side 
 ' of the river, Shethar-boznai, and their 
 companions, according to that which Da- 
 rius the king had sent, so they did "care- 
 fully. 
 
 14 'And the elders of the Jews built, and 
 they prospered through the prophesying of 
 Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son 
 of Iddo. And they built, and finished it, 
 according to (he commandment of the God 
 of Israel, and according to the tcommand- 
 ment of 'Cyrus, and 'Darius, and m Arta- 
 xerxes king of Persia. 
 
 15 And this house was finished on the 
 third day of the month Adar, which was 
 in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the 
 king. 
 
 16 If And the children of Israel, the 
 priests, and the Levites, and the rest of 
 tthe children of the captivity, kept "the 
 dedication of this house of God with joy. 
 
 17 And "offered at the dedication of this 
 house of God a hundred bullocks, two 
 
77te gracious commission 
 
 hundred rams, four hundred Iambs; and 
 for a sin-offering for all Israel, twelve he- 
 goats, according to the number of the tribes 
 of Israel. 
 
 18 And they set the priests, in their 'di- 
 visions, and the Levites in their 'courses, 
 for the service of God, which is at Jerusa- 
 Jem ; fas it is written in the book of Moses. 
 
 19 And the children of the captivity kept 
 the passover 'on the fourteenth day of the 
 first month. 
 
 20 For the priests and the Levites were 
 'purified together, all of them were pure, 
 and "killed the passover for all the children 
 of the captivity, and for their brethren the 
 priests, and for themselves. 
 
 21 And the children of Israel, who had 
 come again "from captivity, and all such 
 as had separated themselves to them from 
 Ahe Pithiness of the heathen of the land, 
 to seek Jehovah God of Israel, did eat, 
 
 22 And kept the ''feast of unleavened 
 bread seven day9 with joy: for Jehovah 
 had made them joyful, and turned the 
 heart "of the king of Assyria to them, to 
 strengthen their hands in the work of the 
 house of God, the God of Israel. 
 
 CHAPTER VII. 
 
 1 Ezra goeth up to Jerusalem. 11 The gracious 
 commission of Artaxerxes to Ezra. 27 Ezra 
 blesset h God for his favour. 
 
 NOW after these things, in the reign of 
 ^Artaxerxes king of Persia, Ezra 'the 
 son of Seraiah, the son of Azariah, the 
 son of Hilkiah, 
 
 2 The son of Shallum, the son of Zadok, 
 the son of Ahitub, 
 
 3 The son of Amariah, the son of Azariah, 
 the son of Meraioth, 
 
 4 The son of Zerahiah, the son of Uzzi, 
 the son of Bukki, 
 
 5 The son of Abishua, the son of Phine- 
 has, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron 
 the chief priest : 
 
 6 This Ezra went up from Babylon; and 
 he was d m ready scribe in the law of Mo- 
 ses, which Jehovah God of Israel had 
 given: and the king granted him all his 
 request, 'according to the hand of Jehovah 
 his God upon him. 
 
 7 'And there went up some of the child- 
 ren of Israel, and of the priests, and *the 
 Levites, and the singers, and the porters, 
 and *the Nethinims, to Jerusalem, in the 
 seventh year of Artaxerxes the king. 
 
 8 And he came to Jerusalem in the fifth 
 month, which was in the seventh year of 
 the king. 
 
 9 For on the first day of the first month 
 tbegan he to go up from Babylon, and on the 
 first day of the fifth month he came to Je- 
 rusalem, 'according to the good hand of his 
 God upon him. 
 
 10 For Ezra had prepared his heart to 
 *seek the law of Jehovah, and to do it, 
 and Heach in Israel 'ordinances and judg- 
 ments. 
 
 11 f Now this is the copy of the letter 
 which the king Artaxerxes gave to Ezra 
 the priest, the scribe, 2 a scribe of the words

 people of Israel, and of his priests and Le- 
 vites, in my realm, who are 6 disposed of 
 their own free will to go up to Jerusalem, 
 go with thee. 
 
 14 6 Because that thou art sent fby the 
 king, and 8 by his "seven counsellors, to in- 
 quire concerning Judah and Jerusalem, 
 according to the law of thy God which is 
 in thy hand; 
 
 15 And to carry the silver and gold, which 
 the king and his counsellors nave freely 
 offered to the God of Israel, p whose habita- 
 tion is in Jerusalem. 
 
 16 'And all the silver and gold which 
 thou canst find in all the province of Ba- 
 bylon, with the free-will-offering of the 
 people, and of the priests, "Offering wil- 
 lingly for the house of their God which is 
 in Jerusalem : 
 
 17 That thou mavest buy speedily with 
 this money bullocks, rams, lambs, with 
 their ' 9 meal-offerings and their drink-of- 
 ferings, and *offer them on the altar of the 
 house of your God which is in Jerusalem. 
 
 18 And whatever shall seem good to 
 thee, and to thy brethren, to do with the 
 rest of the silver and the gold, that do 
 ao according to the will of your God. 
 
 19 The vessels also which are given thee 
 for the service of the house of thy God, 
 deliver thou those before the God of Je- 
 rusalem. 
 
 20 And whatever more shall be need- 
 ful for the house of thy God, which thou 
 shalt have occasion to bestow, bestow it 
 out of the king's treasure-house. 
 
 21 And I, u I Artaxerxes die king, do make 
 a decree to all the treasurers who are be- 
 yond the river, that whatever Ezra the 
 
 Eriest, the scribe of the law of the God of 
 eaven, shall require of you, it be done 
 "carefully, 
 
 22 To a hundred talents of silver, and to 
 a hundred tmeasures of wheat, and to a 
 hundred baths of wine, and to a hundred 
 baths of oil, and salt without prescribing 
 how much. 
 
 23 t Whatever is commanded by the 
 God of heaven, let it be "carefully done 
 for the house of the God of heaven : for 
 why should there be wrath against the 
 realm of the king and his sons ? 
 
 24 Also we "acquaint j r ou, that 15 concern- 
 ing any of the priests and Levites, singers, 
 porters, Nethinims, or ministers of this 
 house of God, it shall not be lawful to im- 
 pose tribute, toll, or custom, on them. 
 
 25 And thou, Ezra, l6 according to the 
 wisdom of thy God, which is in thy hand, 
 "set magistrates and judges, who may 
 judge all the people that are beyond the 
 river, all such as know the laws of thy 
 God ; and x teach ye those who know them 
 not. 
 
 26 And whoever will not do the law of 
 thy God, and the law of the king, let judg- 
 ment be executed "carefully on him, whe- 
 ther it be to death, or tto banishment, or to 
 confiscation of goods, or to imprisonment. 
 
 27 ^ ^Blessed be Jehovah God of our fa- 
 thers, *who hath put such a thing as this 
 in the king's heart, to 18 honour the house 
 of Jehovah which is in Jerusalem :

 CHAPTER VIII. 
 
 1 The companions of Ezra, who returned from, Ba- 
 bylon. 15 He sendeth to Iddo for ministers for the 
 temple. 21 He keepeth a fast. 24 He committeth 
 the treasures to the custody of the priests. 31 From 
 Ahava they come to Jerusalem. 33 The treasure 
 is weighed in the temple. 36 The ^decree is de- 
 livered. 
 
 THESE are now the chief of their fa- 
 thers, and this is the genealogy of 
 those who went up with me from Babylon, 
 in the reign of Artaxerxes the king. 
 
 2 Of the sons of Phinehas ; Gersnom : of 
 the sons of Ithamar; Daniel: of the sons 
 of David; 'Hattush. 
 
 3 Of the sons of Shechaniah, of the sons 
 of c Pharosh; Zechariah: and with him 
 were reckoned by genealogy of the males 
 a hundred and fifty. 
 
 4 Of the sons of Pahath-moab; Elihoenai 
 the son of Zerahiah, and with him two 
 hundred males. 
 
 5 Of the sons of Shechaniah ; the son of 
 Jahaziel, and with him three hundred males. 
 
 6 Of the sons also of Adin ; Ebed the son 
 of Jonathan, and with him fifty males. 
 
 7 And of the sons of Elam ; Jeshaiah the 
 son of Athaliah, and with him seventy 
 males. 
 
 8 And of the sons of Shephatiah j Zeba- 
 diah the son of Michael, and with him 
 fourscore males. 
 
 9 Of the sons of Joab ; Obadiah the son 
 of Jehiel, and with him two hundred and 
 eighteen males. 
 
 10 And of the sons of Shelomith; the son 
 of Josiphiah, and with him a hundred and 
 threescore males. 
 
 11 And of the sons of Bebai ; Zechariah 
 the son of Bebai, and with him twenty and 
 eight males. 
 
 12 And of the sons of Azgad ; Johanan 
 lithe son of Hakkatan, and with him a hun- 
 dred and ten males. 
 
 13 And of the last sons of Adonikam, 
 whose names are these, Eliphelet, Jeiel, 
 and Shemaiah, and with them threescore 
 males. 
 
 14 Of the sons also of Bigvai ; Uthai, and 
 UZabbud, and with them seventy males. 
 
 15 If And I gathered them together to the 
 river that runneth to Ahava; and there 
 we ||abode in tents three days: and I 
 viewed the people, and the priests, and 
 found none of the d sons of Levi there. 
 
 16 Then I sent for Eliezer, for Ariel, for 
 Shemaiah, and for Elnathan, and for Jarib, 
 and for Elnathan, and for Nathan, and for 
 Zechariah, and for Meshullam, chief men; 
 also for Joiarib, and for Elnathan, men of 
 understanding. 
 
 17 And I sent them with commandment 
 to Iddo the chief at the place Casiphia, and 
 tl told them what they should say to Iddo, 
 and to his brethren the Nethinims, at the 
 place Casiphia, that they should bring to 
 us ministers for the house of our God. 
 
 18 And by the good hand of our God on 
 us they 'brought us a man of understand- 
 ing, of the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, 
 the son of Israel ; and Sherebiah, with his 
 sons and his brethren, eighteen ; 
 
 19 And Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah

 returned with him from Babylon, 
 
 of the sons of Merari, his brethren and 
 their sons, twenty ; 
 
 20 'Also of the Nethinims, whom David 
 and the princes had appointed for the ser- 
 vice of the Levites, two hundred and twen- 
 ty Nethinims: all of them were expressed 
 by name. 
 
 21 \ Then I ^proclaimed a fast there, at 
 the river of Ahava, that we might ''afflict 
 ourselves before our God, to seek of him a 
 Tight way for ourselves, and for our little 
 ones, and for all our substance. 
 
 22 For *I was ashamed to require of the 
 king a band of soldiers and horsemen to 
 help us against the enemy in the way : be- 
 cause we had spoken to the king, saying, 
 'The hand of our God is upon all those for 
 "■good who seek him ; but his power and hi9 
 wrath is "against all those who "forsake him. 
 
 23 So we fasted and besought our God 
 for this : and he was ^entreated 2 for us. 
 
 24 TI Then I separated twelve of the chief 
 of the priests, Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and 
 ten of their brethren with them, 
 
 25 And weighed to them 'the silver, and 
 the gold, and the vessels, even the offering 
 of the house of our God, which the king, 
 and his counsellors, and his lords, and all 
 Israel there present, had offered : 
 
 26 I even weighed to their hand six hun- 
 dred and fifty talents of silver, and silver 
 vessels a hundred talents, and of gold a 
 hundred talents ; 
 
 27 Also twenty s goblets of gold, of a 
 thousand Maries; and two vessels of tfine 
 ' polished' copper, tprecious as gold. 
 
 28 And I said to them, Ye are "holy to 
 Jehovah ; the vessels are "holy also ; and 
 the silver and the gold are a free-will-of- 
 fering to Jehovah God of your fathers. 
 
 29 Watch ye, and keep them, until ye 
 weigh them, before the chief of the priests 
 and the Levites, and chief of the fathers 
 of Israel, at Jerusalem, in the chambers 
 of the house of Jehovah. 
 
 30 5 And the priests and the Levites took 
 the weight of the silver, and the gold, and 
 the vessels, to bring them to Jerusalem to 
 the house of our God. 
 
 31 ^ Then we journeyed from the river 
 of Ahava on the twelfth day of the first 
 month, to go to Jerusalem : and 'the hand 
 of our God was on us, and he delivered 
 us from the hand of the enemy, and of 
 such as lay in wait by the way. 
 
 32 And we "came to Jerusalem, and 
 abode there three days. 
 
 33 If Now on the fourth day the silver and 
 the gold and the vessels were ^weighed in 
 the house of our God by the hand of Me- 
 remoth the son of Uriah the priest ; and 
 with him was Eleazar the son of Phinehas ; 
 and with them was Jozabad the son of 
 Jeshua, and Noadiah the son of Binnui, 
 Levites ; 
 
 34 By number and by weight 7 for every 
 one: and all the weight was written at 
 that time. 
 
 35 Jllso the children of those who had 
 been carried away, who were come out 
 of the captivity, ^offered burnt-offerings 
 to the God of Israel, twelve bullocks fin- 
 all Israel, ninety and six rams, seventy 
 and seven lambs, twelve he-goats for a 
 sin-offering: 8 the whole was a burnt-of- 
 fering to Jehovah.

 CHAPTER IX. 
 
 1 Ezra mourneth for the affinity of the people with 
 strangers. 5 He prayeth to God with confession 
 of sins. 
 
 NOW when these things were done, the 
 princes came to me, saying, The peo- 
 ple of Israel, and the priests, and the Le- 
 vites, have not 'separated themselves from 
 the people of the lands, cl but have done 
 according to their abominations, even of 
 the Canaanites, the Hittites.the Perizzites, 
 the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moab- 
 ites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites. 
 
 2 For they nave d taken * some' of their 
 daughters for themselves, and for their 
 sons : so that the 'holy seed have 'mingled 
 themselves with the people of those lands : 
 yea, the hand of the princes and rulers 
 hath been chief in this trespass. 
 
 3 And when I heard this thing, °I rent 
 my garment and my mantle, and plucked 
 oft' the hair of my head and of my beard, 
 and sat down * 2 astonished. 
 
 4 Then were assembled to me 3 all who 
 'trembled at the words of the God of Is- 
 rael, because of the transgression of those 
 that had been carried away ; and I sat 4 as- 
 tonished until the 'evening sacrifice. 
 
 5 if And at the evening sacrifice I arose 
 s from my ||heaviness ; and having rent my 
 
 tarment and my mantle, I fell on my 
 nees, and 'spread out my hands to Jeho 
 vah my God, 
 
 6 And said, my God, I am "ashamed 
 and "confused to lift up my face to thee, 
 my God : for "our iniquities are increased 
 over our head, and our ||trespass Tiath 
 °grown up to the heavens. 
 
 7 Since the days of our fathers have p we 
 been in a great trespass ' even' to this day; 
 and for our iniquities 'have we, our kings, 
 end our priests, been delivered into the 
 hand of the kings of the lands, to the 
 sword, to captivity, and to a spoil, and to 
 ■"confusion of face, as it is this day. 
 
 8 And now for a little s moment, compas- 
 . sion hath been shewed 9 by Jehovah our God, 
 
 to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give 
 us ||a nail in his holy place, that our God 
 may 'enlighten our eyes, and give us a 
 little reviving in our bondage. 
 
 9 'For we were bond-men ; "yet our God 
 hath not forsaken us in our bondage, but 
 x hath extended '"kindness to us in the sight 
 of the kings of Persia, to give us a reviv- 
 ing, to set up the house of our God, and 
 tto repair the desolations thereof, and to 
 give us "a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem. 
 
 10 And now, O our God, what shall we 
 say after this ? for we have forsaken thy 
 commandments, 
 
 11 Which thou hast commanded tby thy 
 servants the prophets, saying, The land to 
 which ye go to possess it, is an unclean 
 land with the x filthiness of the people of 
 the lands, with their abominations, who 
 have filled it tfrom one end to another 
 with their uncleanness.

 CHAPTER X. 
 
 1 Shechaniah encourageth Ezra to reform the strange 
 marriages. 6 Ezra mourning assembleth the peo- 
 ple. 9 The people, at the exhortation of Ezra, re- 
 pent, and promise amendment. 15 The care to 
 perform it. 18 The names of them which had mar- 
 ried strange wives. 
 
 NOW "when Ezra had prayed, and when 
 he had confessed, weeping and cast- 
 ing himself down 'before the house of God, 
 there assembled to him out of Israel a very 
 great congregation of men and women and 
 children: for the people twept very 'bitterly. 
 
 2 And Shechaniah the son of Jehiel, one 
 of the sons of Elarri, 2 spoke and said to 
 Ezra, We -have 'trespassed against our 
 God, and have taken foreign wives of the 
 people of the land : yet now there is hope 
 in Israel concerning this thing. 
 
 3 Now therefore let us make d a covenant 
 with our God tto put away all the wives, 
 and such as are born of them, according 
 to the counsel of s the Lord, and of those 
 who tremble at 'the commandment of our 
 God ; and let it be done according to the law. 
 
 4 Arise ; for this matter belongeth to thee : 
 we also will be with thee : g be of good cou- 
 rage, and do it. 
 
 5 Then Ezra arose, and made the chief 
 priests, the Levites, and all Israel, *to 
 swear that they would do according to this 
 word. And they swore. 
 
 6 If Then Ezra 4 arose from before the 
 house of God, and went into the chamber 
 of Johanan the son of Eliashib : and ivhen 
 he came thither, he 'did eat no bread, nor 
 drink water : for he mourned because of 
 the transgression of those who had been 
 carried away. 
 
 7 And they made proclamation through 
 Judah and Jerusalem to all the children of 
 the captivity, that they should gather them- 
 selves 5 to Jerusalem ; 
 
 8 And that whoever would not come 
 within three days, according to the coun- 
 sel of the princes and the elders, all his 
 substance should be 6 devoted, and himself 
 separated from the congregation of those 
 who had been carried away. 
 
 9 \ Then all the men of Judah and Ben- 
 jamin gathered themselves 7 to Jerusalem 
 within three days. It was the ninth month, 
 and the twentieth day of the month : and 
 'all the people sat in the street of the house 
 of God, trembling because of this matter, 
 
 and for the ^showers.

TTie names of those who 
 
 10 And Ezra the priest stood up, and 
 said to them, Ye have transgressed, and 
 thave taken foreign wives to increase the 
 trespass of Israel. 
 
 11 Now therefore m make confession to 
 Jehovah God ef your fathers, and do his 
 pleasure: and "separate yourselves from 
 the people of the land, and from the foreign 
 wives. 
 
 12 Then all the congregation answered 
 and said with a loud voice, As thou hast 
 said, so must we do. 
 
 13 But the people are many, and it is a 
 time of 'showers, and we are not able to 
 stand without, neither is this a work of 
 one day or two : for ||we are many who 
 have transgressed in this thing. 
 
 14 Let now our 10 princes of all the con- 
 gregation stand, and let all those who have 
 taken foreign 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 mat- 
 ter be turned from us. 
 
 15 If Only Jonathan the son of Asahel 
 and Jahaziah the son of Tikvah twere em- 
 ployed about this matter : and Meshullam 
 and Shabbethai the Levite helped them. 
 
 16 And the children of the captivity did 
 so. And Ezra the priest, with certain 
 chiefs of the fathers, "according to the 
 house of their fathers, and all of them by 
 their names, were separated, and sat down 
 in the first day of the tenth month to ex- 
 amine the matter. 
 
 17 And they made an end with all the 
 men who had taken foreign wives by the 
 first day of the first month. 
 
 18 If And among the sons of the priests 
 there were found those who had taken 
 foreign wives : namely, of the sons of Je- 
 shuathe son of Jozadak, and his brethren; 
 Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Ge- 
 daliah. 
 
 19 And they *gave their hands that they 
 would put away their wives; and being 
 'guilty, they offered a ram of the flock for 
 their trespass.

 them concerning the Jews that had escaped, 
 who were left of the captivity, and con- 
 cerning Jerusalem.

 are left of the captivity there in the pro-

 CHAPTER II. 
 
 I Artaxerxes understanding the cause of Nehemiah's 
 sadness sendeth him with letters and commission 
 to Jerusalem. 9 Nehemiah, to the grief of the ene- 
 mies, cometh to Jerusalem. 12 He vieweth secretly 
 the ruins of the walls. 17 He inciteth the Jews to 
 build in despite of the enemies. 
 
 AND it came to pass in the month Ni- 
 san, in the twentieth year of "Arta- 
 xerxes the king, that wine was before him: 
 and 'I took up the wine, and gave it to the 
 king. Now I had not been before sad in 
 his presence. 
 
 2 Wherefore the king said to me, Why 
 is thy countenance sad, *when thou art not 
 sick? this is nothing 3 but 'sorrow of heart. 
 Then I was very 4 much afraid, 
 
 3 And said to the king, d Let the king live 
 for ever: why should not my countenance 
 be sad, when 'the city, the place of my fa- 
 thers' sepulchres, lieth waste, and the gates 
 thereof are consumed with fire ? 
 
 4 Then the king said to me, For what 
 dost thou make request? 5 And I prayed 
 to the God of heaven. 
 
 5 And I said to the king, If it please the 
 king, and if thy servant have found favour 
 in thy sight, that thou wouldest send me to 
 Judah, to the city of my fathers' sepulchres, 
 that I may build it. 
 
 <5 And the king said to me, (the tqueen 
 also sitting by Mm,) For how long shall 
 thy journey be? and when wilt thou re- 
 turn ? So it pleased the king to send me; 
 and I set him f a. time. 
 
 7 6 And I said to the king, If it please the 
 king, let letters be given me to the govern- 
 ors beyond the river, that they may convey 
 me over till I come into Judah; 
 
 8 And a letter to Asaph the keeper of the 
 king's 'park, that he may give me timber 
 8 for beams for the gates of the palace which 
 a belong g to the house, and for the wall of 
 the city, and for the house which I shall 
 enter 10 . And the king granted me, *ac- 
 cording to the good hand of my God on me, 
 
 9 % Then I came to the governors beyond 
 the river, and gave them the king's letters. 
 Now the king had sent captains of the 
 army and horsemen with me. 
 
 10 When Sanballat the Horonite, and 
 Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, heard 
 of it, it grieved them exceedingly that 
 there had come a man to seek the welfare 
 of the children of Israel.

 11 So I 'came to Jerusalem, and was there 
 three days. 
 
 12 If And I arose in the night, I and "a 
 few men with me; neither told I any man 
 what my God had put into my heart to do 
 at Jerusalem : neither was there any beast 
 with me, 12 except the beast 13 on which I 
 rode. 
 
 13 And I went out by night *by the gate 
 of the valley, even before the "serpent- 
 well, and to the 15 ordure-gate, and 16 view- 
 ed the walls of Jerusalem, which were 
 '"demolished, and the gates thereof were 
 consumed with fire. 
 
 14 Then I went on to the "gate of the 
 fountain, and to the king's pool : but there 
 was no place for the beast 18 under me to 
 pass. 
 
 15 Then went I up in the night by the 
 "brook, and viewed the wall, and turned 
 back, and entered by the gate of the val- 
 ley, and so returned. 
 
 16 And the rulers knew not whither I 
 went, or what I did; neither had I as yet 
 told it to the Jews, nor to the priests, nor 
 to the nobles, nor to the rulers, nor to the 
 rest who did the work. 
 
 17 If Then said I to them, Ye see the dis- 
 tress that we are in, how Jerusalem lieth 
 waste, and the gates thereof are burned 
 with fire: come and let us build up the 
 wall of Jerusalem, that we be no more "a 
 reproach. 
 
 18 Then I told them of p the hand of my 
 God which was good on me; as also the 
 king's words that he had spoken to me. 
 And they said, let us 19 arise and build. So 
 they * strengthened their hands for this 
 good work. 
 
 19 But when Sanballat the Horonite, and 
 Tobiah the servant, the -Ammonite, and 
 Geshem the Arabian, heard it, they 'laugh- 
 ed *at' us 20 , and despised us, and said, 
 What-p this thing that ye do? 'will ye' 
 rebel against the king ? 
 
 20 Then I answered them, and said to 
 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.

 30 After him repaired Hananiah the son 
 of Shelemiah, and Hanun the sixth son of 
 Zalaph, another piece. After him repair- 
 ed Meshullam the son of Berechiah over 
 against his chamber. 
 
 31 After him repaired Malchiah the gold- 
 smith's son, to the place of the Nethinims, 
 and of the merchants, over against the 
 gate Miphkad, and to the || ^ascent of the 
 corner. 
 
 32 And between the 2} ascent of the cor- 
 ner to the sheep-gate repaired the gold- 
 smiths and the merchants. 
 
 CHAPTER IV. 
 
 1 While the enemies scoff, Nehemiah prayeth and 
 continueth the work. 7 Understanding the wrath 
 and secrets of the enemy, he setteth a watch. 13 
 He armeth the labourers, 19 and giveth military 
 precepts. 
 
 BUT it came to pass "that when Sanbal- 
 lat heard that we *were building the 
 wall, he was 2 angry, and s greatly provoked, 
 and mocked the Jews. 
 
 2 And he spoke before his brethren, and 
 the army of Samaria, and said. What 4 are 
 these feeble Jews 'doing:' will they tforti- 
 fy themselves ? will they sacrifice ? will 
 they make an end in a day ? will they re- 
 vive the stones out of the heaps of 5 rub- 
 bish which are burned ? 
 
 3 Now 'Tobiah the Ammonite teas by 
 him, and he said, Even that which they 
 build, if a jackal go up, he will even break 
 down their stone wall. 
 
 4 'Hear, O our God : for we are tdesnis- 
 ed: and d turn their reproach upon their 
 own head, and give them for a prey in the 
 land of captivity : 
 
 5 And 'cover not their iniquity, and let 
 not their sin be blotted out from before 
 thee : for they have provoked thee ' before 
 the builders. 
 
 6 So built we the wall ; and all the wall 
 was joined 8 to the half thereof: for the 
 people had a mind to work. 
 
 7 If But it came to pass, that Avhen San- 
 ballat, and Tobiah, and the Arabians, and 
 the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites, heard 
 that the walls of Jerusalem twere made 
 up, and that the breaches began to be stop- 
 ped, then they were very 9 angry, 
 
Nehemiah armeth the labourers. 
 
 8 And 'conspired all of them together to 
 come and to fight against Jerusalem, and 
 tto '"injure it. 
 
 9 "But *we 12 prayed to our God, and set 
 a watch against them day and night, be 
 cause of them. 
 
 10 And Judah said. The strength of the 
 bearers of burdens is decayed, and there 
 is much rubbish ; so that we are not able 
 to build the wall. 
 
 11 And our adversaries said, They will 
 not know, neither see, till we come in the 
 midst among them, and slay them, and 
 cause the work to cease. 
 
 12 And it came to pass, that when the 
 Jews who dwelt by them came, they said 
 to us ten times, ||From all places whence 
 ye shall return to us they will be upon you. 
 
 13 % Therefore set I tin the lower places 
 behind the wall, and on the higher places, 
 I even set the people "according to their 
 families with their swords, their "lances, 
 and their bows. 
 
 14 And I looked, and 15 arose, and said 
 to the nobles, and to the rulers, and to 
 the rest of the people, 'Be not 16 afraid of 
 them: remember Jehovah who is *great 
 and terrible, and 'fight for your brethren, 
 your sons, and your daughters, your wives, 
 and your houses. 
 
 15 And it came to pass, when our ene- 
 mies heard that it was known to us, m and 
 God had "frustrated their counsel 1S , that 
 we returned all of us^to the wall, 19 each 
 one to his work. 
 
 16 And it came to pass from that time 20 , 
 that the half of my servants wrought in 
 the work; and the other half of them held 
 both the 2, lances, the 22 bucklers, and the 
 bows, and the 23 coats of mail; and the ru- 
 lers were behind all the house of Judah. 
 
 17 Those who built on the wall, and those 
 who bore burdens, with those that laded, 
 *each one with one of his hands wrought 
 in the work, and with the other 25 held a 
 weapon. 
 
 18 For the builders, 26 each one had his 
 sword girded "about his loins, and so built. 
 And he who sounded the trumpet was 
 by me. 
 
 19 If And I said to the nobles, and to the 
 rulers, and to the rest of the people, The 
 work is great and large, and we are sepa- 
 rated on the wall, one far from another. 
 
 20 In whatever place 28 ye hear the sound 
 of the trumpet, resort ye thither to us : 
 "our God will fight for us. 
 
 21 So we laboured in the work : and half 
 of them held the 29 lances from the rising 
 of the morning till the stars 3 °came forth. 
 
 22 Likewise at the same time I said to 
 the people, Let 31 each one with his servant 
 lodge within Jerusalem, that in the night 
 they may be a guard to us, and labour 32 by 
 the day. 
 
 23 So neither I, nor my brethren, nor my 
 servants, nor the men of the guard who 
 fol 1 owed me, 33 any of us put off our clothes, 
 || M except that 35 each one put them off for 
 washing.

 The practice of interest restrained. 
 
 AND there was a great "cry of the peo- 
 ple and of their wives against their 
 'brethren the Jews. 
 
 2 For there were ' some' who said, We, our 
 sons,and our daughters,**^ many : therefore 
 we take up 3 grain, that we may eat, and live. 
 
 3 Some also there were who said, We 
 have 4 pledged our lands, vineyards, and 
 houses, that we might buy 5 grain, on ac- 
 count of the famine. 
 
 4 There were also ' some' who said, We 
 have borrowed money for the king's tri- 
 bute, and that on our lands and vineyards. 
 
 5 Yet now c our flesh is 6 like the flesh of 
 our brethren, our children 'like their 
 children: and lo, we "are bringing into 
 bondage our sons and our daughters to be 
 servants, and some of our daughters are 
 brought into bondage already: neither is it 
 in our power to redeem them; for other 
 men have our lands and vineyards. 
 
 6 *[f And I was very angry when I heard 
 their cry and these words. 
 
 7 Then tl consulted with myself, and I 
 rebuked the nobles, and the rulers, and 
 said to them, e Ye exact interest, each one 
 from his brother. And I set a great as- 
 sembly against them. 
 
 8 And I said to them, We, after our abi- 
 lity, have ■''redeemed our brethren the Jews, 
 who were sold to the heathen ; and will 
 ye even sell your brethren? or shall they 
 be sold to us? Then held they their peace, 
 and 10 had nothing to answer. 
 
 9 Also I said, "That, which ye do, is not 
 good : ought ye not to walk *in the fear of 
 our God *because of the reproach of the 
 heathen our enemies ? 
 
 10 I likewise, and my brethren, and my 
 servants, might exact of them money and 
 12 grain: I pray you, let us leave off this 
 "exaction. 
 
 11 Restore, I pray you, to them, even 
 this day, their lands, their vineyards, their 
 oliveyards, and their houses, also the hun- 
 dredth part of the money, and of the "grain, 
 the 'new' wine, and the ' fresh' oil, which 
 ye exact ,s from them. 
 
 12 Then said they, We will restore them, 
 and will require nothing of them ; 16 thus 
 will we do as thou sayest. Then I called 
 the priests, 'and took an oath of them, that 
 they should do according to this promise. 
 
 13 Also *I shook my '^bosom, and said, 
 So God shake out every man from his 
 house, and from his labour, who perform- 
 eth not this promise, even thus be he shaken 
 out, andtemptied. And all the congregation 
 said, amen, and praised Jehovah.' And 
 the people did according to this promise. 
 
 14 If Moreover, from the time that I was 
 appointed to be their governor in the land 
 of Judah, from the twentieth year m even to 
 the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes the 
 king, that is, twelve years,I and my brethren 
 have not "eaten the bread of the governor. 
 
 15 But the former governors who had been 
 before me were chargeable to the people, 
 and had taken 19 from them bread and wine, 
 besides forty shekels of silver; yea, even 
 their servants bore rule over the people: 
 but. °so did not I , becau se of the p fear of God. 
 
 16 Yea, also I continued in the work of 
 this wall, neither bought we any land: and 
 all my servants were gathered thither to 
 the work.

Sanballat attempteth to terrify Nehemiah. NEHEMIAH. 
 
 17 Moreover, there ivere *at my table a 
 hundred and fifty of the Jews and rulers, 
 besides those who came to us from among 
 the heathen who were about us. 
 
 18 Now that 'which was prepared/or me 
 daily was one ox and six choice sheep ; 
 also fowls were prepared for me, and once 
 in ten days ' a' store of all sorts of wine : 
 yet for all this 'required not I the bread of 
 the governor, because the bondage was 
 heavy on this people. 
 
 19 (20 Remember me, my God, for good, 
 according to all that ' which' I have done 
 for this people. 
 
 CHAPTER VI. 
 
 1 Sanballat practiseth by craft, by rumours, by hired 
 prophecies, to terrify Nehemiah. 15 The work is 
 finished to the terror of the enemies. 17 Secret 
 intelligence passeth between the enemies and the 
 nobles of Judah. 
 
 NOW it came to pass, "when Sanballat, 
 and Tobiah, and HGeshem the Arabian, 
 and the rest of our enemies, heard that I 
 had built the wall, and that there was no 
 breach left therein ; ('though at that time 
 I had not set up the doors on the gates ;) 
 
 2 That Sanballat and Geshem 'sent to 
 me, saying, Come, let us meet together in 
 1 the villages in the plain of d Ono. But 
 they 'thought to do me mischief. 
 
 3 And I sent messengers to them, saying, 
 I am doing a great work, so that I cannot 
 come down : why should the work cease, 
 whilst I leave it, and come down to you ? 
 
 4 Yet they sent to me four times 2 in this way; 
 and I answered them 3 in the same manner. 
 
 5 Then sent Sanballat his servant to me 
 in *the same manner the fifth time with an 
 open letter in his hand ; 
 
 6 Wherein * this'' was written, It is re- 
 ported among the heathen, and ||Gashmu 
 saith it, f that thou and the Jews think to 
 rebel : for which cause thou buildest the 
 wall, that thou mayest be their king, ac- 
 cording to these words. 
 
 7 And thou hast also appointed prophets 
 to preach Concerning thee at Jerusalem, 
 saying, There is a king in Judah : and now 
 will it be reported to the king according to 
 these words. Come now therefore, and let 
 us take counsel together. 
 
 8 Then I sent to him, saying, There are 
 no such things done as thou sayest, but 
 thou feignest them out of thine own heart. 
 
 9 For they all made us afraid, saying, 
 Their hands will be weakened from the 
 work, ' so' that it ' will' be not done. Now 
 therefore, O God, strengthen my hands. 
 
 10 Afterward I came to the house of 
 Shemaiah the son of Delaiah, the son of 
 Mehetabeel, who was shut up; and he 
 said, Let us meet together in the house of 
 God, within the temple, and let us shut 
 the doors of the temple: for they will 
 come to slay thee; yea, in the night will 
 they come to slay thee. 
 
 11 And I said, Should such a man as I 
 flee ? and who_ is there, that, being as I 
 am, would go into the temple to save his 
 life ? I will not go in. 
 
 12 And lo, I perceived that God had not 
 sent him ; but that *he pronounced this 
 prophecy against me: for Tobiah and San- 
 ballat had hired him. 
 
 13 Therefore was he hired, that I might 
 be afraid, and do so, and sin, and that

 14 "My God, think thou on Tobiah and

 and on the 'prophetess Noadiah, and the

 15 H So the wall was finished in the twen- 
 ty and fifth day of the.month Elul, in fifty 
 and two days. 
 
 16 And it came to pass, that *when all 
 our enemies heard thereof, and all the 
 heathen who were about us saw these things, 
 they were much cast down in their own 
 6 sight : for 'they perceived that this work 
 was wrought Tiy our God. 
 
 17 If Moreover, in those days the nobles 
 of Judah tsent many letters to Tobiah, and 
 the letters of Tobiah came to them. 
 
 18 For there were many in Judah sworn 
 to him, because he was the son-in-law of 
 Shechaniah the son of Arah; and his son 
 Johanan had taken the daughter of Me- 
 shullam the son of Berechiah. 
 
 19 Also they reported his good deeds be- 
 fore me, and uttered my || words to him. 
 And Tobiah Sent letters to put me in fear. 
 
 CHAPTER VII. 
 
 1 Neliemiah committeth the charge of Jerusalem to' 
 Hanani and Hananiah. 5 A register of the ge- 
 nealogy of those who came at the first out of Ba- 
 bylon, 9 of the people, 39 of the priests, 43 of the 
 Levites, 46 of the Nethinims, 57 of Solomon's ser- 
 vants, 63 and of the priests which could not find 
 their pedigree. 66 The whole number of them, with 
 their substance. 70 Their oblations. 
 
 NOW it came to pass, when the wall 
 was built, and I had "set up the doors, 
 and the porters, and the singers, and the 
 Levites were appointed, 
 
 2 That I gave my brother Hanani, and 
 Hananiah the ruler 'of the palace, charge 
 over Jerusalem : for he was a faithful man, 
 and 'feared God above many. 
 
 3 And I said to them, Let not the gates 
 of Jerusalem be opened until the sun 'is 
 hot; and while they stand by, let them 
 shut the doors, and bar them : and appoint 
 watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, 
 'each one in his watch, and 3 each one 4 over 
 against his house. 
 
 4 Now the city was tlarge and great: 
 but the people were few therein, and the 
 houses were not built. 
 
 5 IT And my God put ' it' into my heart 
 to gather 5 the nobles, and the rulers, and 
 the people, that they might be reckoned 
 by genealogy. And I found a register of 
 the genealogy of those who came up at 6 
 first, and found written therein, 
 
 6 d These are the children of the province, 
 who went 7 from the captivity, of those who 
 had been carried away, whom Nebuchad-

 away, and came again to Jerusalem and to

 Darkon, the children of Giddel, 
 
 59 The children of Shephatiah, the child- 
 ren of Hattil, the children of Pochereth 
 of Zebaim, the children of [|Amon. 
 
 60 All the Nethinims, and the children 
 of Solomon's servants, were three hundred 
 ninety and two. 
 
 61 *And these were those who went up 9 
 from Tel -melah,Tel-haresha,Cherub,||Ad- 
 don, and Immer: but they could not shew 
 their father's house, nor their [|seed, whe- 
 ther they were of Israel. 
 
 62 The children of Delaiah, the children 
 of Tobiah, the children of Nekoda, six 
 hundred forty and two. 
 
 63 ^ And of the priests : the children of 
 Habaiah, the children of Koz, the child- 
 ren of Barzillai, who took one of the daugh- 
 ters of Barzillai the Gileadite to wife, and 
 was called after their name. 
 
 64 These sought their register among 
 those who were reckoned by genealogy, 
 but it was not found: therefore were they, 
 as polluted, put from the priesthood. 
 
 65 And the '"governor said to them, that 
 they should not eat of the most holy things, 
 till there stood up a priest with "Lights 
 and l2 Perfections. 
 
 66 If The whole congregation together 
 was forty and two thousand three hundred 
 and threescore. 
 
 67 Besides their man-servants and their 
 maid -servants, of whom there were seven 
 thousand three hundred thirty and seven : 
 and they had two hundred lorty and five 
 singing-men and singing-women. 
 
 68 Their horses, seven hundred thirty 
 and six: their mules, two hundred forty 
 and five : 
 
 69 Their camels, four hundred thirty and 
 five: six thousand seven hundred and 
 twenty asses. 
 
 70 If And tsome of the chief of the fathers 
 gave I3 for the work. 'The "governor gave 
 to the treasure a thousand 15 darics of gold, 
 fifty basons, five hundred and thirty priests' 
 garments. 
 
 71 And some of the chief of the fathers 
 gave to the treasure of the work ""twenty

 thousand 16 darics of gold, and "two hun- 
 dred and twenty thousand shekels of 
 silver. 
 
 72 And that which the rest of the people 
 gave was twenty thousand I8 darics of gold, 
 and ,9 two hundred thousand shekels of 
 silver, and threescore and seven priests' 
 garments. 
 
 73 So the priests, and the Levites, and 
 the porters, and the singers, and some of 
 the people, and the Nethinims, and all Is- 
 rael, dwelt in their cities; ^and when the 
 seventh month came, the children of Israel 
 were in their cities. 
 
 CHAPTER VIII. 
 
 I The religious manner of reading and hearing the 
 law. 9 They comfort the people. 13 The forward- 
 ness of them to hear and be instructed. 16 They 
 keep the feast of booths. 
 
 AND all "the people gathered themselves 
 1 as one man into the street which was 
 'before the water-gate ; and they spoke to 
 Ezra the 'scribe to bring the book of the 
 law of Moses, which Jehovah had com- 
 manded to Israel. 
 
 2 And Ezra the priest brought ''the law 
 before the congregation both of men and 
 women, and all Twho could hear with 
 understanding, 'on the first day of the 
 seventh month. 
 
 3 And he read therein before the street 
 which was before the water-gate tfrom the 
 morning until mid-day, before the men 
 and the women, and those who could un- 
 derstand ; and the ears of all the people 
 were attentive to the book of the law. 
 
 4 And Ezra the scribe stood on a t'stage 
 of wood, which they had made for the pur- 
 pose; and beside him stood Mattithiah, 
 and Shema, and Anaiah, and Urijah, and 
 Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, on his right hand; 
 and on his left hand, Pedaiah, and Mishael, 
 and Malchiah, and Hashum, and Hashba- 
 dana, Zechariah, and Meshullam. 
 
 5 And Ezra opened the book in the tsight 
 of all the people; (for he was above all the 
 people;) and when he opened it, all the 
 people -f stood up : 
 
 6 And Ezra blessed Jehovah, the great 
 God. And all the people ^answered, 3 So 
 be it, So be it, 4 lifting up their hands : 
 and they "bowed their heads, and worship- 
 ped Jehovah with their faces to the ground, 
 
 7 Also Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, 
 Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodijah, Maa- 
 seiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, 
 Pelaiah, and the Levites, 'caused the peo- 
 ple to understand the law : and the people 
 stood in their place. 
 
 8 So they read in the book in the law of 
 God distinctly, and gave the sense, and 
 caused them to understand the reading. 
 
 9 TI 'And Nehemiah, who was the go- 
 vernor, and Ezra the priest the scribe, 
 m and the Levites who taught the people, 
 said to all the people, "This day is holy to 
 Jehovah your God ; "mourn not, nor weep. 
 For all the people wept, when they heard 
 the words of the law. 
 
 10 Then he said to them, Go 6 , eat the fat, 
 and drink the sweet, *and send portions to 
 them for whom nothing is prepared : for 
 this day is holy to our Lord : neither be 
 ye sorry ; for the joy of Jehovah is your 
 strength.

 The feast of booths kept- 
 saying, Hold your peace, for the day is 
 holy ; neither be ye grieved. 
 
 12 And all the people went 'away to eat, 
 and to drink, and to 'send portions, and to 
 make great mirth, because they had 'un- 
 derstood the words 8 which had been made 
 known to them. 
 
 13 1f And on the second day were gather- 
 ed 9 the chief of the fathers of all the peo- 
 ple, the priests, and the Levites, to Ezra 
 the scribe, even ||to understand the words 
 of the law. 
 
 14 And they found ' it' written in the law 
 which Jehovah had commanded tby Moses, 
 that the children of Israel should dwell in 
 'booths in the feast of the seventh month : 
 
 15 And 'that they should publish and 
 proclaim in all their cities, and "in Jerusa- 
 lem, saying, Go forth to the '"mountains, 
 and x "bring olive-branches, and 12 oil-tree- 
 branches, and myrtle-branches, and palm- 
 branches, and branches of thick trees, to 
 make booths, as it is written. 
 
 16 II So the people went forth, and brought 
 them, and made themselves booths, 13 each 
 one on the y roof of his house, and in their 
 courts, and in the courts of the house of 
 God, and in the street of the *water-gate, 
 "and in the street of the gate of Ephraim. 
 
 17 And all the congregation of those who 
 had come again u from the captivity made 
 booths, and sat under the booths ; for since 
 the days of Jeshua the son of Nun to that 
 day had not the children of Israel done so. 
 And there was very 'great gladness. 
 
 18 Also 'day by day, from the first day to 
 the last day, he read in the book of the law 
 of God. And they kept the feast seven 
 days; and on the eighth day was ta solemn 
 assembly, d according to the "custom. 
 
 CHAPTER IX. 
 
 1 A solemn fast, and repentance of the people. 4 
 The Levites make a religious confession of God's 
 goodness, and their wickedness. 
 
 NOW in the twenty and fourth day of 
 "this month the children of Israel 
 were assembled with fasting, and with 
 sackclothes, 'and earth on them. 
 
 2 And 'the seed of Israel separated them- 
 selves from all tstrangers, and stood and 
 confessed their sins, and the iniquities of 
 their fathers. 
 
 3 And they stood up in their place, and 
 d read in the book of the law of Jehovah 
 their God one fourth part of the day ; and 
 another fourth part they confessed, and 
 worshipped Jehovah their God. 
 
 4 If Then stood up on the Ustairs, ' the 
 Levites, Jeshua, and Bani, Kadmiel, She- 
 baniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Che- 
 nani, and cried with a loud voice to Jeho- 
 vah their God. 
 
 5 Then the Levites, Jeshua, and Kad- 
 miel, Bani, Hashabniah, Sherebiah, Hodi- 
 jah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah, said, Stand 
 up and bless Jehovah your God for ever 
 and ever: and blessed be 'thy glorious 
 name, which is exalted above all 
 and praise. 
 
 6 f Thou, even thou, art Jehovah alone ; 
 s thou hast made heaven, 'the heaven of 
 heavens, with 'all their host, the earth, and 
 all thing's that are therein, the seas, and 
 all that is therein, and thou *preservest 
 them all ' alive' ; and the host of heaven 
 worshiopeth thee.

 7 Thou art Jehovah the God, who didst 
 choose 'Abram, and broughtest him forth 
 out of Ur of the Chaldeans, and gavest him 
 the name of "Abraham ; 
 
 8 And foundest his heart "faithful before 
 thee, and madest a "covenant with him to 
 give the land of the Canaanites, the Hit- 
 tites, the Amorites, and the Perizzites, 
 and the Jebusites, and the Girgashites, to 
 give it 2 to his seed, and ^hast performed 
 thy words ; for thou art righteous : 
 
 9 'And didst see the affliction of our fa- 
 thers in Egypt, and "heardest their cry by 
 the Red sea ; 
 
 10 And 'shewedst signs and wonders upon 
 Pharaoh, and on all nis servants, and on 
 all the people of his land : for thou knew- 
 est that they 'dealt "presumptuously against 
 them. So didst thou u4 make thyself a name, 
 as it is this day. 
 
 11 *And thou didst divide the sea before 
 them, so that they went through the midst 
 of the sea on the dry land; and their "pur- 
 suers thou threwest into the deeps, y as a 
 stone into the mighty waters. 
 
 12 Moreover, thou Reddest them in the 
 day by a cloudy pillar; and in the night by 
 a pillar of fire, to give them light in the 
 way wherein they should go. 
 
 13 ^Thou earnest down also upon mount 
 Sinai, and 6 didst speak with them from 
 heaven, and gavest them 'right judgments, 
 and ttrue laws, good 'ordinances and com- 
 mandments : 
 
 14 And madest known to them thy "holy 
 sabbath, and commandedst them precepts, 
 "ordinances, and laws, by the hand of Mo- 
 ses thy servant : 
 
 15 And d gavest them 9 food from heaven 
 for their hunger, and 'broughtest forth wa- 
 ter for them out of the rock for their thirst, 
 and promisedst them that they should ■'go 
 in to possess the land twhich thou hadst 
 sworn to give them. 
 
 16 <But they and our fathers dealt 10 pre- 
 sumptuously, and ^hardened their necks, 
 and hearkened not to thy commandments, 
 
 17 And refused to obey, 'neither "remem- 
 bered thy wonders which thou didst among 
 them ; but hardened their necks, and in 
 their rebellion appointed *a captain to re- 
 turn to their bondage : but thou art ta God 
 ready to pardon, 'gracious and merciful, 
 slow to anger, and of great kindness, and 
 forsookest them not. 
 
 18 Yea, m when they had made themselves 
 a molten calf, and said, This is thy God 
 that brought thee up 12 from Egypt, and had 
 wrought great provocations ; 
 
 19 Yet thou in thy "manifold mercies for- 
 sookest them not in the "desert : the "pillar 
 of the cloud departed not from them by 
 day, to lead them in the way; neither the 
 pillar of fire by night, to shew them light, 
 and the way wherein they should go. 
 
 _ 20 Thou gavest also thy p good Spirit, to 
 instruct them, and withheldest not thy 
 'manna from their mouth, and gavest them 
 •water for their thirst. 
 
 21 Yea, 'forty years didst thou sustain 
 them in the 14 desert; 15 they lacked no- 
 thing ; their 'clothes 16 became not old, and 
 their feet swelled not. 
 
 22 Moreover, thou gavest them kingdoms 
 and nations, and didst divide them into 
 "regions: so they possessed the land of

 who "delivered them 24 from the hand of 
 their enemies. 
 
 28 But after they had rest, t'they did evil 
 again before thee: therefore leftest thou 
 them in the hand of their enemies, so that 
 they ^ruled over them: yet when they re- 
 turned and cried to thee, thou heardest 26 
 from heaven; and m many times didst thou 
 deliver them according to thy mercies ; 
 
 29 And testifiedst against them, that thou 
 mightest bring them again to thy law : yet 
 they "dealt "presumptuously, and hear- 
 kened not to thy commandments, but sin- 
 ned against thy judgments, ("which if a 
 man do, he shall live 28 by them;) and 
 t withdrew the shoulder, and hardened 
 their neck, and would not hear. 
 
 30 Yet many years didst thou t 29 bear with 
 them, and testifiedst ^against them by thy 
 Spirit fin thy prophets : yet would they not 
 give ear : "therefore gavest thou them into 
 the hand of the people of the lands. 
 
 31 ^Yet, through thy great mercies, J thou 
 didst not utterly consume them, nor for- 
 sake them; for thou art 'a gracious and 
 merciful God. 
 
 32 Now therefore, our God, the great, 
 the "mighty, and the terrible God, who 
 keepest covenant and 31 kindness, let not 
 all the ttrouble seem little before thee, 
 twhich hath come on us, on our kings, 
 on our princes, and on our priests, and on 
 our prophets, and on our fathers, and on 
 all thy people, x since the time of the kings 
 of Assyria 32 until this day. 
 
 33 33 Yet »thou art just in all that is brought 
 upon us ; for thou hast done right, but 'we 
 have done wickedly : 
 
 34 Neither have our kings, our princes, 
 our priests, nor our fathers, kept thy law, 
 nor hearkened to thy commandments and 
 thy testimonies, wherewith thou didst tes- 
 tify against them.

The sealing of the covenant. 
 
 35 For they have "not served thee in their 
 kingdom, and in thy great goodness that 
 thou gavest them, and in the large and 
 c3i fertile land which thou gavest before 
 them, neither turned they from their 
 wicked works. 
 
 36 Behold, d we are servants this day, and 
 35 the land that thou gavest to our fathers 
 to eat the fruit thereof and the good there- 
 of, behold, we are servants in it : 
 
 37 And 'it yieldeth much increase to the 
 kings whom thou hast set over us because 
 of our sins: also they-^rule over our bodies, 
 and over our cattle, at their pleasure, and 
 we are in great distress. 
 
 38 And because of all this we ? make a 
 sure covenant and write it; and our 
 princes, Levites, and priests, t*seal w it.

 of all their places, to bring them to Jeru- 
 salem, to keep the dedication with glad- 
 ness, m both with thanksgivings, and with 
 singing, with cymbals, psalteries, and with 
 harps.

 6 from the fields of Geba and Azmaveth : 
 for the singers had built themselves vil- 
 lages 7 around Jerusalem. 
 
 30 And the priests and the Levites puri- 
 fied themselves, and purified the people, 
 and the gates, and the wall. 
 
 31 Then I brought up the princes of Ju- 
 dali upon the wall, and appointed two great 
 companies of those who gave thanks, 
 ofwhich n one went on the right hand on

 and Judah, Hanani, with 'the musical in- 
 struments of David the man of God, and 
 Ezra the scribe before them. 
 
 37 "And at the fountain-gate, which was 
 over against them, they went up by 'the 
 stairs of the city of David, at the 9 ascent 
 of the wall, above the house of David, 
 even to 'the water-gate eastward. 
 
 38 "And the other company of those who 
 gave thanks went over against them, and 
 1 after them, and the half of the people on 
 the wall, from beyond x the tower of the

 40 So stood the two companies of those 
 who gave thanks in the house of God, and 
 I, and the half of the rulers with me : 
 
 41 And the priests ; Eliakim, Maaseiah, 
 Mmiamin, Michaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah. 
 and Hananiah, with trumpets ; 
 
 42 And Maaseiah, and Shemaiah, and 
 Eleazar, and Uzzi, and Jehohanan, and 
 Malchijah, and Elam, and Ezer. And the 
 singers tsung loudly, with Jezrahiah their 
 overseer. 
 
 43 Also that day they offered great sacri- 
 fices, and rejoiced: for God had made 
 them rejoice with great joy: the wives 
 also and the children rejoiced : so that the 
 joy of Jerusalem was heard even afar off. 
 
 44 "jf 'And at that time some were ap- 
 pointed over the chambers for the trea- 
 sures, for the offerings, for the first-fruits, 
 and for the tithes, to gather into them out 
 of the fields of the cities the portions ||of 
 the law for the priests and Levites : tfor 
 Judah rejoiced for the priests and for the 
 Levites twho waited. 
 
 45 And both the singers and the porters 
 kept the "watch of their God, and the 
 12 watch of the purification, "according to 
 the commandment of David, and of Solo- 
 mon his son. 
 
 46 For in the days of David ''and Asaph 
 "anciently there were chiefs of the singers, 
 and songs of praise and thanksgiving to 
 God. 
 
 47 And all Israel in the days of Zerub- 
 babel, and in the days of Nehemiah, gave 
 the portions of the singers and the porters, 
 "each day its portion : "and they 15 set apart 
 holy things 16 for the Levites; *and theLe- 
 vites "set them apart for the children of 
 Aaron. 
 
 CHAPTER XIII. 
 
 1 On the reading of the law separation is made from 
 the mixed multitude. 4 Nehemiah at his return 
 causeth the chambers to be cleansed. 10 He reform- 
 eth the offices in the house of God. 15 The viola- 
 tion of the sabbath, 23 and the marriages with 
 strange wives. 
 
 ON that day "tthey read in the book of 
 Moses in the t 'hearing of the people; 
 and therein 'it' was found written, 'that 
 the Ammonite and the Moabite should 
 not come into the congregation of God 
 for ever ; 
 
 2 Because they met not the children of 
 Israel with bread and with water, but 
 'hired Baalam against them, that he should 
 curse them : "but our God turned the curse 
 into a blessing. 
 
 3 Now it came to pass, when they had 
 heard the law, 'that they separated from 
 Israel all the mixed multitude. 
 
 4 1 And before this, Eliashib the priest, 
 thaving the oversight of the chamber of the 
 house of our God, was allied 3 with Tobiah : 
 
 5 And he had prepared for him a great 
 chamber, s where formerly they laid the 
 5 meal -offerings, the frankincense, and the 
 vessels, and the tithes of the corn, the new 
 wine, and the 'fresh' oil, (t f which was 
 commanded to be given to the Levites, 
 and the singers, and the porters,) and the 
 offerings 6 for the priests. 
 
 6 But in all this time I was not at Jeru- 
 salem : "for in the two and thirtieth year 
 
Xeliemiali refonaeth 
 
 of Artaxerxes king of Babylon I came to 
 the king, and tafter 'some days ||I obtained 
 leave of the king : 
 
 7 And I came to Jerusalem, and under- 
 stood 8 the evil which Eliashib did for To- 
 biah, 9 by "preparing him a chamber in the 
 courts of the house of God. 
 
 8 And it grieved me 10 much : therefore I 
 cast u all the household-stuS' of Tobiali out 
 of the chamber. 
 
 9 Then I commanded, and they 'cleansed 
 the chambers : and thither I brought again 
 the vessels of the house of God, with the 
 "meal -offering and the frankincense. 
 
 10 TJ And I perceived that the portions 
 of the Levites had 'not been given them: 
 for the Levites and the singers, who did 
 the work, had fled I3 each one to m his field. 
 
 11 Then "contended I with the rulers, 
 and said, "Why is the house of God for- 
 saken? And I gathered them", and set 
 them in their tplace. 
 
 12 'Then brought allJudah the tithe of 
 the 15 grain and the new wine and the 
 ' fresh' oil to the ||treasuries. 
 
 13 «And I made treasurers over the trea- 
 suries, Shelemiah the priest, and Zadok 
 the scribe ; and of the Levites, Pedaiah : 
 and tnext to them was Hanan the son of 
 Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah: for they 
 were accounted 'faithful ; and ttheir office 
 was to distribute to their brethren. 
 
 14 'Remember me, my God, concern- 
 ing this, and wipe not out my t ,6 kindness 
 which I have done for the house of my 
 God, and for the ||offices thereof. 
 
 15 ^1 In those days saw I in Judah some 
 treading wine-presses 'on the sabbath, and 
 brining in sheaves, and "loading asses; 
 as also wine, grapes, and figs, and all 
 **kinds of burdens, "which they brought 
 into Jerusalem on the sabbath day: and I 
 testified against them on the day wherein 
 they sold victuals. 
 
 16 There dwelt "Tyrians also, therein, 
 svho brought fish, and all M kinds of wares, 
 and sold on the sabbath to the children of 
 Judah, and in Jerusalem. 
 
 17 ''Then I contended with the nobles of 
 Judah, and said to them, What evil thing 
 is this that ye do, and profane the sabbath 
 day? 
 
 18 »Did not your fathers thus, and did not 
 our God bring all this evil upon us, and 
 upon this city? yet ye bring more wrath 
 upon Israel by profaning the sabbath. 
 
 19 And it came to pass, that, when the 
 gates of Jerusalem 'began to be dark be-

 fore the sabbath, I commanded that the 
 21 doors should be shut, and charged that 
 they should not be opened till after the 
 sabbath : "and some of my servants I set 
 at the gates, that "'no burden should be 
 brought in on the sabbath day. 
 
 20 So the merchants and sellers of all 
 kinds of wares lodged without Jerusalem 
 once or twice. 
 
 21 Then I testified against them, and 
 said to them, Why lodge ye tabout the 
 wall? if ye do so again, I will lay hands 
 on you. From that time forth they came 
 no more on the sabbath. 
 
 22 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, 
 my God, concerning this also, and spare 
 me according to the || greatness of thy 
 mercy. 
 
 23 If In those days also I saw Jews who 
 t d had married wives of Ashdod, of Am- 
 nion, and of Moab : 
 
 24 And their children spoke half in the 
 speech of Ashdod, and tcould not speak in 
 the Jews' language, but according to the 
 language tof each people. 
 
 25 And I 'contended with them, and 
 llcursed them, and smote ^some of them, 
 and plucked off their hair, and made them 
 'swear by God, saying, Ye shall not give 
 your daughters to their sons, nor take their 
 daughters to your sons, or for yourselves. 
 
 26 e Did not Solomon king of Israel sin 
 by these things ? yet *among many nations 
 was there no king like him, 'who was be- 
 loved M by his God, and God made him 
 king over all Israel: 'nevertheless even 
 him did 25 foreign women cause to sin. 
 
 27 Shall we then hearken to you to do 
 all this great evil, to 'transgress against 
 our God in marrying 26 foreign wives ? 
 
 28 And one of the sons m of Joiada, the 
 son of Eliashib the high priest, ivas son-

 they have defiled the priesthood, and "the 
 covenant of the priesthood, and of the Le- 
 vites.

 gers, and 'appointed the "watches of the

 reigned from India even to Ethiopia, 'over 
 a hundred and seven and twenty provinces :)

 4 When he shewed the riches of his glo- 
 rious kingdom and the 2 splendour of his 
 excellent majesty many days, even a hun- 
 dred and fourscore days. 
 
 5 And when those days were expired, 
 the king made a feast to all the people who 
 were tpresent in Shushan the palace, both 
 to great and small, seven days, in the court 
 of the garden of the king's palace ; 
 
 361 
 
Vashti disobeyeth the king. 
 
 6 Where were white ' linen', 'white cotton, 
 and ||blue hangings, fastened with cords 
 of fine linen and purple to silver rings and 
 pil lars of marble : *tne beds were of gold 
 and silver, on a pavement ||of red, and 
 blue, and white, and black marble. 
 
 7 And they gave them drink in vessels 
 of gold, (the vessels being ^different one 
 from another,) and troyal wine in abun- 
 dance, taccording to the 6 ability of the 
 king. 
 
 8 And the drinking was according to the 
 law ; none did compel : for so the king had 
 appointed to all the officers of his house, 
 that they should do according to "each 
 man's pleasure. 
 
 9 Also Vashti the queen made a feast for 
 the women in the royal house which be- 
 longed to king Ahasuerus. 
 
 10 f On the seventh day, when Hhe heart 
 of the king was merry with wine, he com- 
 manded Mehuman, Biztha, 'Harbona, Big- 
 tha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the 
 seven || 'officers who served in the presence 
 of Ahasuerus the king, 
 
 11 To bring Vashti the queen before the 
 king with the 8 royal diadem, to shew the 
 people and the princes her beauty: for she 
 was tfair to look on. 
 
 12 But the queen Vashti refused to come 
 at the king's commandment tby his Offi- 
 cers : therefore was the king very I0 angry, 
 and his "rage burned in him. 
 
 13 If Then the king said to the *wise men, 
 'who knew the times, (for 12 such was the 
 king's 13 custom towards all who knew law 
 and judgment: 
 
 14 And the next to him was Carshena, 
 Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Mar- 
 sena, and Memucan, the "seven princes 
 of Persia and Media, "who saw the king's 
 face, and who sat the first in the kingdom;) 
 
 15 tWhat shall we do to the queen Vashti 
 according to law, because she hath not 
 performed the commandment of the king 
 Ahasuerus by the "officers ? 
 
 16 And Memucan answered before the 
 king and the princes, Vashti the queen 
 hath not done wrong to the king only, but 
 also to all the princes, and to all the people 
 who are in all the provinces of the king 
 Ahasuerus. 
 
 17 For this deed of the queen will come 
 abroad to all women, so that they will "de- 
 spise their husbands in their ls sight, when 
 it shall be reported, The king Ahasuerus 
 commanded Vashti the queen to be brought 
 in before him, but she came not. 
 
 18 l6 So will the princesses of Persia and 
 Media say this day to all the king's princes, 
 who have heard of the deed of the queen. 
 Thus "there will be enough of contempt 
 and ''strife. 
 
 19 t If it please the king, let u a royal 
 commandment go tfrom nim, and let it 
 be written among the laws of the Persians 
 and the Medes, tthat it be not altered, 
 That Vashti come no more before king 
 Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal 
 estate tto another who is better than she. 
 
 20 And when the king's decree which he 
 shall make shall be *°heard through all his 
 ai kingdom, (for it is great,) all the wives 
 will p give to their husbands honour, both 
 to SJ high and 21 low.

 5 Mordecai the nursing father of Esther. 8 Esther 
 is preferred by Hegai before the rest. 12 The man- 
 ner of purification, and going in to the king. 15 
 Esther best pleasing the king is made queen. 21 
 Mordecai discovering a treason is recorded in the 
 Chronicles. 
 
 \ FTER these things, when the wrath 
 -£*- of king Ahasuerus was appeased, he 
 remembered Vashti, and what she had 
 done, and "what was decreed against her. 
 
 2 Then said the king's servants who mi- 
 nistered to him, Let there be fair young 
 virgins sought for the king : 
 
 3 And let the king appoint officers in all 
 the provinces of his kingdom, that they 
 may gather ' all the fair young virgins a at 
 Shushan the palace, to the house of the 
 women, tto the custody of IIHege the king's 
 'officer, keeper of the women ; and let their 
 things for purification be given ' to' them : 
 
 4 And let the maiden who pleaseth the 
 king be queen instead of Vashti. And the 
 thing pleased the king ; and he did so. 
 
 5 If Now in Shushan the palace there was 
 a 4 Jew, whose name was Mordecai, the 
 son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of 
 Kish, a Benjamite ; 
 
 6 'Who had been carried away from Je- 
 rusalem with the captivity which had been 
 carried away with ||Jeconiah king of Judah, 
 whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Baby- 
 lon had carried away. 
 
 7 And he tbrought up Hadassah, (that is, 
 Esther,) c his uncle's (laughter: for she had 
 neither father nor mother, and the maid 
 was tfair and beautiful ; whom Mordecai, 
 when her father and mother were dead, 
 took for his own daughter. 
 
 8 If So it came to pass, when the king's 
 commandment and his decree was heard, 
 and when many maidens were ^gathered 
 together to Shushan the palace, to the cus- 
 tody of Hegai, that Esther was brought 
 also to the king's house, to the custody of 
 Hegai, keeper of the women. 
 
 9 And the maiden pleased him, and she 
 obtained kindness 'from him ; and he 
 speedily gave her her 'things for purifica- 
 tion, with tsuch things as belonged to her, 
 and seven maidens 6 nt to be given ' to' her, 
 out of the king's house: ana the preferred 
 her and her maids to the best place of the 
 house of the women. 
 
 10 'Esther had not shewed her people nor 
 her 'parentage : for Mordecai had charged 
 her that she should not shew it. 
 
 11 And Mordecai walked every day be- 
 fore the court of the women's house, tto 
 know 8 the welfare of Esther, and what 
 "would be done with her. 
 
 12 ^ Now when I0 each maid's turn was 
 come to go in to king Ahasuerus, after that 
 she had been twelve months, according to 
 the manner of the women, (for "thus were 
 the days of their purifications accomplish- 
 
Esther made queen. 
 
 CHAPTERS III. IV.

 ed, " six months with oil of myrrh, and six 
 months with sweet odours, and with other 
 things for the purifying of the women ;) 
 
 13 Then thus came "each maiden to the 
 king; whatever she desired was given 
 her to go with her out of the house or the 
 women to the king's house. 
 
 14 In the evening she went, and on the 
 morrow she returned into the second house 
 of the women, to the custody of Shaash- 
 gaz, the king's "officer, who kept the con- 
 cubines : she came in to the king no more, 
 except the king delighted in her, and that 
 she were called by name. 
 
 15 ff Now when the turn of Esther, ff the 
 daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, 
 who had taken her for his daughter, had 
 come to go in to the king, she required 
 nothing "except what Hegai the king's 
 "officer, the keeper of the women, appoint- 
 ed. And Esther obtained favour in the sight 
 of all "those who saw her. 
 
 16 So Esther was taken to king Ahasue- 
 rus into his house-royal in the tenth month, 
 which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh 
 year of his reign. 
 
 17 And the king loved Esther 18 more than 
 all the women, and she obtained "favour 
 and ^kindness tin his sight more than all 
 the virgins ; so that he set the royal "dia- 
 dem on her head, and made her queen in- 
 stead of Vashti. 
 
 18 Then the king ft made a great feast 
 to all his princes and his servants, even 
 Esther's feast; and he made a trelease to 
 the provinces, and gave gifts, according to 
 the ^ability of the king. 
 
 19 And when the virgins were gathered w 
 the second time, then Mordecai sat 'in the 
 king's gate. 
 
 20 'Esther had not yet shewed her 2< pa- 
 rentage, nor her people, as Mordecai had 
 charged her: for Esther did the command- 
 ment of Mordecai 25 as 'she did'' when she 
 was brought up with him. 
 
 21 If In those days, while Mordecai sat 
 in the king's gate, two of the king's 26 offi- 
 cers, ||Bigthan and Teresh, of those who 
 kept tthe door, were 27 angry, and sought 
 to lay hands on the king Ahasuerus. 
 
 22 And the thing was known to Morde- 
 cai, m who told it to Esther the queen ; and 
 Esther 28 told the king a in Mordecai's 
 name. 
 
 23 And when ^search was made '"concern- 
 ing the matter, it was found out ; therefore 
 they were both hanged on a ^gallows : and 
 it was written in "the book of the Chroni- 
 cles before the king. 
 
 CHAPTER III. 
 
 1 Haman, advanced by the king, and despised by 
 Mordecai, seeketh revenge upon all the Jews. 7 He 
 casteth lots. 8 He obtaineth by calumniation a de- 
 cree of the king to put the Jews to death. 
 
 AFTER these things did king Ahasue- 
 rus promote Haman the son of Ham- 
 medatha the i Agagite, and advanced him, 
 and set his seat above all the princes who 
 were with him. 
 
 2 And all the king's servants who were 
 'in the king's gate, bowed, and 'prostrated 
 themselves to Haman ; for the king had so 
 commanded concerning him. But Mor 
 decai d2 did not bow, nor prostrate himself 
 to him.

 4 Now it came to pass, when they spoke 
 daily to him, and he hearkened not to 
 them, that they told Haman, to see whe 
 ther Mordecai's matters would stand : fo; 
 he had told them that he was a Jew. 
 
 5 And when Haman saw that Mordecai 
 'bowed not, nor "prostrated himself to him, 
 then was Haman s full of wrath. 
 
 6 And he "scorned to lay hands on Mor- 
 decai alone ; for they had shewed him the 
 people of Mordecai : wherefore Haman 
 "sought to destroy all the Jews who were 
 in the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even 
 the people of Mordecai. 
 
 7 If In the first month (that is, the month 
 Nisan,) in the twelfth year of king Ahasu- 
 erus, '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. 
 
 8 1f And Haman said to king Ahasuerus, 
 There is a certain people scattered abroad 
 and dispersed among the people in all the 
 provinces of thy kingdom; and *their laws 
 are different from 'those of all people; 
 neither keep they the king's laws : there- 
 fore it is not 'proper' for the 7 king to en- 
 dure them. 
 
 9 If it please the king, let it be written 
 tthat they may be destroyed : and I will 
 tpay ten thousand talents of silver to the 
 hands of those who have the charge of the 
 business, to bring it into the king's trea- 
 suries. 
 
 10 And the king 'took m his 'seal'-ring 
 from his hand, and gave it to Haman the 
 son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews' 
 llenemy. 
 
 11 And the king said to Haman, The sil- 
 ver is given to thee, the people also, to do 
 with them as it seemeth good to thee. 
 
 12 "Then were the king's ||scribes called 
 on the thirteenth day of the first month, 
 and "it was written according to all that 
 Haman had commanded to the king's 
 9 viceroys, and to the governors that were 
 over every province, and to the rulers of 
 every people of every province, "according 
 to the writing thereof, and to every people 
 after their language; p in the name or king 
 Ahasuerus was it written, and sealed with 
 the king's 'seal'-ring. 
 
 13 And the letters were 'sent by posts 
 into all the king's provinces, to destroy, 
 to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, 
 \y ch young and old, little children and 
 women, 'in one day, even on the thirteenth 
 day of the twelfth month, which is the 
 month Adar, and *to take the spoil of them 
 for a booty. 
 
 14 "The copy of the writing for a 10 decree 
 to be given in every province was pub- 
 lished to all people, that they should be 
 ready against that day. 
 
 15 The posts went out, being hastened 
 by the king's commandment, and the de- 
 cree was given in Shushan the palace. 
 And the king and Haman sat down to 
 drink; but x the city 'of Shushan was 
 "disquieted. 
 
 CHAPTER IV. 
 
 1 The great mourning of Mordecai and the Jews. 
 4 Esther, understanding it, sendfth to Mordecai, 
 
 363 
 
Fht great mourning of the Jews. 
 
 who sheweth the cause, and adviseth her to under- 
 take the suit. 10 She excusing herself is threat- 
 ened by Mordecai. 15 She appointing a fast un- 
 dertaketh the suit. 
 
 WHEN Mordecai perceived all that 
 was done, Mordecai "rent his clothes, 
 and put on sackcloth 'with ashes, and went 
 out into the midst of the city, and tried 
 with a loud and a bitter cry; 
 
 2 And came even before the king's gate : 
 for none might enter into the king's gate 
 clothed with sackcloth. 
 
 3 And in every province whithersoever 
 the king's commandment and his decree 
 came, there was great mourning among 
 the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and 
 wailing; and tmany lay in sackcloth and 
 ashes. 
 
 4 ^f So Esther's maids and her t "officers 
 came and told 2 her. Then was the queen 
 exceedingly grieved ; and she sent raiment 
 to clothe Mordecai, and to take away his 
 sackcloth from him : but he received it not. 
 
 5 Then called Esther for Hatach, one of 
 the king's Officers, twhom he had appoint- 
 ed to attend on her, and gave him a com- 
 mandment to Mordecai, to know what it 
 teas, and why it was. 
 
 6 So Hatach went forth to Mordecai, into 
 the street of the city, which ivas before the 
 king's gate. 
 
 7 And Mordecai told him 4 all 5 which had 
 befallen him, and 6 |the sum of money which 
 Haman had promised to pay to the king's 
 treasuries for the Jews, to destroy them. 
 
 8 Also he gave him 'the copy of the writing 
 of the decree which was given at Shushan 
 to destroy them, to shew it to Esther, and 
 to declare it to her, and to charge her that 
 she should go in to the king, to make sup- 
 plication to nim, and to make request be- 
 fore him for her people. 
 
 9 And Hatach came and told Esther the 
 words of Mordecai. 
 
 10 f Again Esther spoke to Hatach, and 
 gave him commandment to Mordecai ; 
 
 11 All the king's servants, and the people 
 of the king's provinces, do know, that who- 
 ever, whether man or woman, shall come 
 to the king in 'the inner court, who is not 
 called, e there is one 7 decree of his to put 
 him to death, except such 'an one' *to 
 whom the king shall hold out the golden 
 sceptre, that he may live : but I have not 
 been called to come in to the king these 
 thirty days. 
 
 12 And they told Esther's words to Mor- 
 decai. 
 
 13 Then Mordecai commanded to answer 
 Esther, Think not with thyself that thou 
 shalt escape in the king's house, more than 
 all the Jews. 
 
 14 For if thou altogether holdest thy peace 
 at this time, then 8 relief and deliverance 
 'will' arise 9 for the Jews from another 
 
 Elace; but thou and thy father's house will 
 e destroyed : and who knoweth, whether 
 thou l0 hast come to the kingdom for such a 
 time as this ? 
 
 15 If Then Esther bade them "answer 
 Mordecai 12 , 
 
 16 Go, gather ,3 all the Jews who are 
 tpresent in Shushan, and fast ye for me, 
 and neither eat nor drink 'three days, night 
 "and day: I also and my maidens will fast 
 likewise: and I6 thus I will go in to the

 17" So Mordecai twent "away, and did

 ed him. 
 
 CHAPTER V, 
 
 1 Esther, adventuring on the king's favour, obtain- 
 eth the grace of the golden sceptre, and inviteth 
 the king and Haman to a banquet. 6 She, being 
 encouraged by the king in her suit, inviteth them 
 •to another banquet the next day. 9 Haman, proud 
 of his advancement, repineth at the contempt of 
 Mordecai. 14 By the counsel of Zeresh he buildeth 
 for him a pair of gallows. 
 
 IVTOW it came to pass "on the third day, 
 -L* that Esther put on her royal apparel, 
 and stood in 'the inner court of the king's 
 house, over against the king's house : and 
 the king sat on his royal throne in the royal 
 house, oyer against the gate of the house. 
 
 2 And it 'came to pass, when the king 
 saw Esther the queen standing in the court, 
 that "she obtained favour in his sight : and 
 ''the king held out to Esther the golden 
 sceptre which was in Ids hand. So Esther 
 drew near, and touched the top of the 
 sceptre. 
 
 3 Then said the king to her, What 2 dost 
 thou wish, queen Esther? and- what is thy 
 request ? c it shall be given thee even to 3 
 half of the kingdom. 
 
 4 And Esther answered, If it seem good 
 to the king, let the king and Haman come 
 this day to the banquet which I have pre- 
 pared lor him. 
 
 5 Then the king said, Cause Haman to 
 make haste, that he may do as Esther hath 
 said. So the king and Haman came to the 
 banquet which Esther had prepared. 
 
 6 ^f 'And the king said to Esther at the 
 banquet of wine, s What is thy petition? 
 and it shall be granted thee : and what is 
 thy request ? even to * half of the kingdom 
 it shall be performed. 
 
 7 Then answered Esther, and said, My 
 petition and my request is : 
 
 8 If I have found favour in the sight of 
 the king, and if it please the king to grant 
 my petition, and tto perform my request, 
 let the king and Haman come to the ban- 
 quet which I shall prepare for them, and I 
 will do to-morrow as the king hath said. 
 
 9 If s And Haman went forth that day joy- 
 ful and with a glad heart: but when Haman 
 saw Mordecai in the king's gate, ' and' "that 
 he stood not up, nor moved for him, he was 
 full of indignation against Mordecai. 
 
 10 6 Yet Haman ''restrained himself: and 
 when he came home, he sent and tcalled 
 for his friends, and Zeresh his wife. 
 
 11 And Haman told them of the glory of 
 his riches, and *the multitude of his child- 
 ren, and all 8 things wherein the king had 
 promoted him, and how he had 'advanced 
 him above the princes and servants of the 
 king. 
 
 12 Haman said 9 also, Yea, Esther the 
 queen did let no man come in with the 
 king to the banquet that she had prepared 
 but myself; and to-morrow am I invited 
 to her also with the king. 
 
 13 Yet all this availeth me nothing, so long 
 as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting 10 in the 
 king's gate. 
 
 14 If Then Zeresh his wife and all his 
 friends said to him, Let a t m galloM's be 
 made " fifty cubits high, and to-morrow 
 
Mordecal receiveth great honours. 
 
 "speak thou to the king that Mordecai may 
 be hanged thereon : then go thou in merri- 
 ly with the king to the banquet. And the 
 thing pleased Haman ; and he caused "the 
 gallows to be made. 
 
 CHAPTER VI. 
 
 1 Ahasuerus, reading in the chronicles of the good 
 service done by Mordecai, taketh care for his re- 
 ward. 4 Haman, coming to sue that Mordecai 
 might be hanged, unawares giveth counsel that he 
 might do him honour. 12 Complaining of his mis- 
 fortune, his friends tell him of his final destiny. 
 
 IN that night 'the king's sleep fled away, 
 and he commanded to bring "the book 
 of records of the chronicles; and they 
 were read before the king. 
 
 2 And it was found written, that Morde- 
 cai had told of ||Bigthana and Teresh, two 
 of the king's ^officers, the keepers of the 
 tdoor, who sought to lay hands on the king 
 Ahasuerus. 
 
 3 And the king said, What honour and 
 "dignity hath been done to Mordecai for 
 this ? Then said the king's servants that 
 ministered to him, There 4 was nothing 
 done for him. 
 
 4 K And the king said, Who is in the 
 court? (Now Haman had come into *the 
 outward court of the king's house, c to 
 speak to the king to hang Mordecai on 
 the gallows which he had prepared for him.) 
 
 5 And the king's servants said to him, 
 Behold, Haman standeth in the court. And 
 the king said, Let him come in. 
 
 6 So Haman came in. And the king said 
 to him, What shall be done to the man 
 twhom the king delighteth to honour? 
 {Now Haman thought in his heart, To 
 whom would the king delight to do honour 
 more than to myself?) 
 
 7 And Haman answered the king, For the 
 man twhom the king delighteth to honour, 
 
 8 tLet the royal apparel be brought twhich 
 the king useth to wear, and ''the horse that 
 the king rideth on, and the royal crown 
 which is set on his head : 
 
 9 And let this apparel and horse be de- 
 livered to the hand of one of the king's 
 'noblest princes, that they may array the 
 man 6 whom the king delighteth to honour, 
 and tbring him on horseback through the 
 street of the city, 'and proclaim before 
 him, Thus shall it be done to the man 
 whom the king delighteth to honour. 
 
 10 Then the king said to Haman, Make 
 haste, and take the apparel and the horse, 
 as thou hast said, and do 7 thus to Mordecai 
 the Jew, who sitteth 8 in the king's gate: tlet 
 nothing fail of all which thou hast spoken 
 
 11 Then Haman took the apparel and the 
 horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and brought 
 him on horseback through the street of the 
 city, and proclaimed before him, Thus 
 shall it be done to the man whom the king 
 delighteth to honour. 
 
 12 % And Mordecai came again to the 
 king's gate. But Haman 'hastened to his 
 house mourning, ff and having his head 
 Veiled. 
 
 13 And Haman told Zeresh his wife and 
 all his friends every thing which had be- 
 fallen him. Then said his wise men and 
 Zeresh his wife to him, If Mordecai, before 
 whom thou hast begun to fall, be of the 
 seed of the Jews, thou wilt not prevail 
 against him, but wilt surely fall before him.

 with Esther the queen. 
 
 2 And the king said again to Esther on 
 the second day °at the banquet of wine, 
 What is thy petition, queen Esther? and it 
 shall be granted thee : and what is thy re- 
 quest ? and it shall be performed, even to 
 8 half of the kingdom. 
 
 3 Then Esther the queen answered and 
 said, If I have found favour in thy sight, 
 O king, and if it please the king, let my 
 life be given me at my petition, and my 
 people at my request : 
 
 4 For we are 'sold, I and my people, tto 
 be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. 
 But if we had been sold for bond -men and 
 bond-women, I had *been silent, although 
 the enemy could not countervail the king's 
 damage. 
 
 5 ^f Then the king Ahasuerus answered 
 and said to Esther the queen, Who is he, 
 and where is he, twho durst presume in his 
 heart to do so ? 
 
 6 And Esther said, tThe adversary and 
 enemy is this wicked Haman. Then Ha- 
 man was afraid ||before the king and the 
 queen. 
 
 7 If And the king arising from the ban- 
 quet of wine in his wrath went into the 
 palace-garden : and Haman stood up to 
 make request for his life to Esther the 
 queen ; for he saw that there was evil pre- 
 pared against him by the king. 
 
 8 Then the king returned out of the pa- 
 lace-garden into the place of the banquet, 
 of wine ; and Haman had fallen on 'the 
 bed whereon Esther was. Then said the 
 king, Will he ^violate the queen also tbe- 
 fore me in the house ? As the word went 
 out of the king's mouth, they ''covered 
 Haman's face. 
 
 9 And 'Harbonah. one of the chamber- 
 lains, said before the king, Behold also 'the 
 tgallows fifty cubits high, which Haman 
 had made for Mordecai, who had spoken 
 
 food for the king, standeth in the house of 
 laman. Then the king said, Hang him 
 thereon. 
 
 10 So s they hanged Haman on the gal- 
 lows which he had prepared for Mordecai. 
 Then was the king's wrath pacified. 
 
 CHAPTER VIII. 
 
 1 Mordecai is advanced. 3 Esther maketh suit to 
 reverse Hainan's letters. 7 Ahasuerus granteth to 
 the Jeivs to defend themselves. 15 Mordecai's ho- 
 nour, and the Jews' joy. 
 
 ON that day did the king Ahasuerus give 
 the house of Haman, the Jews' enemy, 
 to Esther the queen. And Mordecai came 
 before the king ; for Esther had told "what 
 he was to her. 
 
 2 And the king took off 6 his ' seal'-ring 
 which he had taken from Haman, and gave 
 it to Mordecai. And Esther set Mordecai 
 OA r er the house of Haman. 
 
 t Heh. and she 
 wept, and be. 
 
 fought him. 
 
 3 ^ And Esther spoke 
 the king, and fell down 
 
 yet again before 
 
 at his feet, tand 
 
 365 
 
The Jews allowed to defend themselves. 
 
 besought him with tears to put away the 
 mischief of Hainan the Agagite, and his 
 device which he had devised against the 
 Jews. 
 
 4 Then the king held out the golden 
 sceptre towards Esther. So Esther arose, 
 and stood before the king, 
 
 5 And said, If it please the king, and if 
 1 have found favour in his sight, and the 
 thing seem right before the king, and I be 
 pleasing in his "sight, let it be written to 
 reverse tthe letters devised by Haman the 
 son of Hammedatha the Agagite, ||which 
 he wrote to destroy the Jews who are in 
 all the king's provinces : 
 
 6 For how can I tendure to see d the evil 
 which will come on my people ? or how 
 can I endure to see the destruction of my 
 kindred ? 
 
 7 If Then the king Ahasuerus said to Es- 
 ther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, 
 Behold, 'I have given Esther the house of 
 Haman, and him they have hanged on the 
 
 fallows, because he laid his hand on the 
 ews. 
 
 8 Write ye also for the Jews, as it 3 pleas- 
 eth you, in the king's name, and seal it 
 with the king's ' seal'-ring : for the writ- 
 ing which is written in the king's name, 
 and sealed with the king's 'seal'-ring, 
 /4 cannot be reversed. 
 
 9 *Then were the king's scribes called at 
 that time in the third month, that is, the 
 month Sivan, on the three and twentieth 
 day thereof; and it was written, according 
 to all that Mordecai commanded, to the 
 Jews, and to the 'viceroys, and the gover- 
 nors and rulers of the provinces which are 
 "from India to Ethiopia, a hundred twenty 
 and seven provinces, to every province 
 'according to the writing thereof, and to 
 every people 'according to their language, 
 and to the Jews according to their writing, 
 and according to their language. 
 
 10 *And he wrote in the king Ahasuerus' 
 name, and sealed it with the king's ' seal'- 
 ring, and sent letters by posts on horse- 
 back, and riders on 8 coursers, 9 mules, and 
 ,0 colts : 
 
 11 Wherein the king "allowed the Jews 
 who were in every city to gather themselves 12 , 
 and to stand for their lives, to destroy, 
 to slay, and to cause to perish, all the power 
 of the people and province that would as- 
 sault them, both little ones and women, 
 and Ho take the spoil of them for a prey, 
 
 12 m On one day in all the provinces of 
 king Ahasuerus, namely, upon the thirteenth 
 day of the twelfth month, which is the 
 month Adar. 
 
 13 "The copy of the writing for a "decree 
 to be given in every province was tpublish- 
 ed to all people, and that the Jews might 
 be ready against that day to avenge them- 
 selves on their enemies. 
 
 14 So the posts who rode on "coursers 
 and 15 mules went out, being hastened and 
 pressed on by the king's commandment. 
 And the decree was given at Shushan the 
 palace. 
 
 15 If And Mordecai went out from the 
 presence of the king in royal apparel of 
 llblue and white, and with a great crown 
 of gold, and with a 16 robe of fine linen and 
 purple : and "the city of Shushan rejoiced 
 ( aloud', and was glad :

 The enemies of the Jews slain, 
 
 16 The Jews had 'light, and gladness, 
 and joy, and honour. 
 
 }7 And in every province, and in every 
 city, whithersoever the king's command- 
 ment and his decree came, the Jews had 
 joy and gladness, a feast 'and a good day. 
 And many of the people of the land 'be- 
 came Jews; for 'the "dread of the Jews 
 fell on them. 
 
 CHAPTER IX. 
 
 1 The Jews (the rulers, for fear of Mordecai, helping 
 them) slay their enemies, with the ten sons of Ha- 
 man. 12 Ahasuerus, at the request of Esther, 
 granteth another day of slaughter, and Haman's 
 sons to be hanged. 20 The two days of Purim arc 
 made festival. 
 
 NOW "in the twelfth month, that is, the 
 month Adar, on the thirteenth day of 
 the same, 'when the king's commandment 
 and his decree drew near to be put in ex- 
 ecution, on the day that the enemies of the 
 Jews hoped to have power over them, 
 (though it was turned to the contrary, ' so' 
 that the Jews c had rule over those who 
 hated them ;) 
 
 2 The Jews fathered themselves ' in 
 their cities 2 in all the provinces of the king 
 Ahasuerus, to lay hands on such as 'sought 
 their hurt : and no man could withstand 
 them ; for 'the 3 dread of them fell on all 
 people. 
 
 3 And all the rulers of the provinces, and 
 the 'viceroys, .and the governors, and toffi- 
 cers of the king helped the Jews ; because 
 the "dread of Mordecai fell on them. 
 
 4 For Mordecai was great in the king's 
 house, and his fame went 7 through all tine 
 provinces : for this man Mordecai g8 became 
 greater and greater. 
 
 5 Thus the Jews smote all their enemies 
 with the stroke of the sword, and slaughter, 
 and destruction, and did twhat they would 
 to those who hated them. 
 
 6 And in Shushan the palace the Jews 
 slew and destroyed five hundred men. 
 
 7 And Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and 
 Aspatha, 
 
 8 And Poratha, and Adalia, and Ari- 
 datha, 
 
 9 And Parmashta, and Arisai, and Ari- 
 dai, and Vajezatha, 
 
 10 The ten sons of Haman the son of 
 Hammedatha, the enemy of the Jews, slew 
 they ; 'Tout on the spoil laid they not their 
 hands. 
 
 11 On that day the number of those who 
 were slain in Shushan the palace twas 
 brought before the king. 
 
 12 If And the king said to Esther the 
 queen, The Jews have slain and destroyed 
 five hundred men in Shushan the palace, 
 and the ten sons of Haman ; what have 
 they done in the rest of the king's pro- 
 vinces ? now "what is thy petition r and it 
 shall be granted thee: or what is thy re- 
 quest further ? and it shall be done. 
 
 13 Then said Esther, If it please the king, 
 let it be granted to the Jews who are in 
 Shushan to do to-morrow also 'according 
 to this day's decree, and tlet Haman's ten 
 sons m be hanged on the gallows. 
 
 14 And the king commanded it so to be 
 done : and the decree was given at Shu- 
 shan ; and they hanged Haman's ten sons. 
 
 15 For the Jews who were, in Shushan 
 "gathered themselves together on the four- 
 
 
The days of Purim ordained, and 
 
 teenth clay also of the month Adar, and 
 slew three hundred men at Shushan ; "but 
 on the 9 spoil they laid not their hands. 
 
 16 But the other Jews who were in the 
 king's provinces 'gathered themselves 10 , 
 and stood for their lives, and had rest from 
 their enemies, and slew of their foes seven- 
 ty and five thousand, 'but they laid not 
 their hands on the "spoil. 
 
 17 On the thirteenth day of the month 
 Adar ; and on the fourteenth day tof the 
 same they rested, and made it a day of 
 feasting and gladness. 
 
 18 But the Jews who were at Shushan 
 assembled l2 r on the thirteenth day thereof, 
 and on the fourteenth thereof; and on the 
 fifteenth day of the same they rested, and 
 made it a day of feasting and gladness. 
 
 19 Therefore the Jews of the villages, 
 who dwelt in the "open towns, made the 
 fourteenth day of the month Adar 'a day 
 of gladness and feasting, 'and a good day, 
 and 'a day* of "sending portions one to 
 another. 
 
 20 U And Mordecai wrote these things, 
 and sent letters to all the Jews who were 
 in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, 
 both near and far, 
 
 21 To establish this among them, that 
 they should keep the fourteenth day of the 
 month Adar, and the fifteenth day of the 
 same, yearly, 
 
 22 As the days wherein the Jews rested 
 from their enemies, and the month which 
 
 > was 'turned "for them from sorrow to joy, 
 and from mourning to a good day: that 
 they should make them days of feasting 
 ana joy, and of 'sending portions one to 
 another, and gifts to the poor. 
 
 23 And the Jews undertook to do as they 
 had begun, and as Mordecai had written 
 to them ; 
 
 24 Because Haman the son of Hamme- 
 datha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the 
 Jews, "had devised against the Jews to de- 
 stroy them, and had cast Pur, that is, the 
 lot, to tconsume them, and to destroy them ; 
 
 25 But fwhen Esther came before the 
 king, he commanded by letters that his 
 wicked device, which he 'had' devised 
 against the Jews, should c return on his 
 own head, and that he and his sons should 
 be hanged on the gallows.

 26 Wherefore they called these daya 
 Purim after the name of ||Pur. Therefore 
 for all the words of ''this letter, and of that 
 which they had seen concerning this mat- 
 ter, and which had come to them, 
 
 27 The Jews ordained, and took upon 
 themselves, and upon their seed, and upon 
 all such as "joined themselves to them, so 
 Is that it should not tfail, that they would 
 keep these two days according to their 
 writing, and according to their ,6 time every 
 year; 
 
 28 And that these days should be remem- 
 bered and kept through every generation, 
 every family, every province, and every 
 city ; and that these days of Purim should 
 not tfail from among the Jews, nor the 
 memorial of them tperish from their seed. 
 
 29 Then Esther the queen, 'the daughter 
 of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, wrote 
 with tall authority, to confirm this ^second 
 letter of Purim. 
 
 30 And he sent the letters to all the Jews, 
 to *the hundred twenty and seven pro- 
 vinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, loith 
 words of peace and truth, 
 
 31 To confirm these days of Purim in 
 their appointed times, according as Mor- 
 decai the Jew and Esther the queen had 
 enjoined them, and as they had decreed 
 tfor themselves and for their seed, the 
 matters of *the fastings and their cry. 
 
 32 And the decree of Esther confirmed 
 these matters of Purim ; and it was writ- 
 ten in the book.

 2 And all the acts of his Authority and 
 of his might, and the declaration of the 
 greatness of Mordecai, 'to which the king 
 Tadvanced him, are they not written in the 
 book of the Chronicles of the kings of 
 Media and Persia ? 
 
 3 For Mordecai the Jew was 'next to 
 king Ahasuerus, and great among the 
 Jews, and 'acceptable to the multitude of 
 his brethren, ^seeking the 4 welfare of his 
 people, and speaking peace to all his 
 seed.

 4 And his sons went and feasted in their

 called for their three sisters to eat and to

 5 And it 6 came to pass, when the days of 
 their feasting had gone 6 around, that Job 
 sent and sanctified them, and rose up early 
 in the morning, 'and offered burnt-offer- 
 ings according to the number of them all : 
 for Job said, It may be that my sons have

 Thus did Job tcontinually. 
 
 6 If Now f there was a day *when the sons

 7 And Jehovah said to Satan, Whence

 8 no one like him in the earth, 'a sincere 
 and an upright man, one that fearetli God, 
 and 9 shuneth evil ? 
 
 9 Then Satan answered Jehovah and 
 said, Doth Job fear God for '"nothing ? 
 
 10 CT Hast thou not made a hedge "around 
 him, and ,2 around his house, and "around 
 all that he hath on every side ? "thou hast 
 blessed the work of his hands, and his 
 llsubstance is increased in the land. 
 
 11 "But put forth thy hand now, and 
 touch all that he hath, tand he will p curse 
 thee to thy face. 
 
 . 12 And Jehovah said to Satan, Behold, 
 all that he hath is in thy tpower ; only on 
 himself put not forth thy hand. So Satan 
 went forth from the presence of Jehovah. 
 
 13 If And there was a day 'when his sons 
 and his daughters were eating and drinking 
 wine in their eldest brother's house : 
 
 14 And there came a messenger to Job, 
 and said, The oxen were ploughing, and 
 the asses feeding beside them : 
 
 15 And the Sabeans fell on them, and 
 took them away ; yea, they have slain the 
 servants with the edge of the sword ; and 
 I only "have escaped alone to tell thee. 
 
 16 While he was yet speaking, there 
 came also another, and said, ||The fire of 
 God I5 hath fallen from heaven, and hath 
 burned up the sheep and the servants, and 
 consumed them; and I only ,6 have escaped 
 alone to tell thee. 
 
 17 While he was yet speaking, there 
 came also another, and said, The Chalde- 
 ans made out three bands, and tfell on the 
 camels, and have carried them away, yea, 
 and slain the servants with the edge of the 
 sword ; and I only "have escaped alone to 
 tell thee. 
 
 18 While he was yet speaking, there 
 came also another, and said, 'Thy sons 
 and thy daughters were eating and drink- 
 ing wine in their eldest brother's house: 
 
 19 And behold, there came a great wind 
 tfrom the 18 desert, and smote the four cor- 
 ners of the house, and it fell on the young 
 men, and they are dead; and I only l9 have 
 escaped alone to tell thee. 
 
 20 Then Job arose, *and rent his Umantle, 
 and shaved his head, and 'fell down on the 
 ground, and worshipped, 
 
 21 And said, "Naked came I ^forth from 
 my mother's womb, and naked shall I re- 
 turn thither : Jehovah *gave, and Jehovah 
 hath "taken away ; 'blessed be the name of 
 Jehovah. 
 
 22 °In all this Job sinned not, nor ||charged 
 God foolishly. 
 
 CHAPTER II. 
 
 1 Satan appearing again before God obtaineth fur- 
 ther leave to tempt Job. 7 He smiteth him with sore 
 boils. 9 Job reproveth his wife, moving him to 
 curse God. 11 His three friends condole with him 
 in silence. 
 
 AGAIN "there was a day when the sons 
 of God came to present themselves 
 before Jehovah, and Satan came also 
 among them to present himself before Je- 
 hovah. 
 
 2 And Jehovah said to Satan, From 
 whence comest thou? And h Satan an-

 Job's affliction and patience. 
 
 swered Jehovah, and said, From 'wander- 
 ing in the earth, and from walking up and 
 down in it. 
 
 3 And Jehovah said to Satan, Hast thou 
 considered my servant Job, that there is 
 2 no one like him in the earth, c a perfect 
 and an upright man, one that feareth 
 God, and 3 shuneth evil ? and still he 
 ■"holder], fast his integrity, although thou 
 movedst me against him, t'to destroy him 
 without 'a' cause. 
 
 4 And Satan answered Jehovah, and 
 said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man 
 hath will he give for his life. 
 
 5 'But put forth thy hand now, and touch 
 his s bone and his flesh, and he will curse 
 thee to thy face. 
 
 6 *And Jehovah said to Satan, Behold, 
 he is in thy hand ; ||but save his life. 
 
 7 If So Satan went forth from the pre- 
 sence of Jehovah, and smote Job with 
 sore boils *from the sole of his foot to his 
 crown. 
 
 8 And he took 4 a potsherd to scrape him- 
 self with; *and he sat down among the 
 ashes. 
 
 9 If Then said his wife to him, 'Dost thou 
 still "retain thine integrity? curse God, 
 and die. 
 
 10 But he said to her, Thou speakest as 
 one of the foolish women speaketh. What ! 
 "shall we receive good 5 from the hand of 
 God, and shall we not receive evil ? "In 
 all this did not Job *sin with his lips. 
 
 11 If Now when Job's three 'friends heard * 
 of all this evil which had come on him, 
 they came 6 each one from his own place ; 
 Eliphaz the 'Temanite, and Bildad the 
 "Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite : for 
 they had made an appointment together to 
 come 'to mourn with him, and to comfort 
 him. 
 
 12 And when they lifted up their eyes 
 afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up 
 their voice, and wept ; and they rent 'each 
 one his mantle, and "sprinkled dust on 
 their heads towards heaven. 
 
 13 So they sat down with him on the 
 ground *seven days and seven nights, and 
 8 no one spoke a word to him : for they saw 
 that his grief was very great. 
 
 CHAPTER III. 
 
 1 Job curses the day and services of his birth. 13 
 The ease of death. 20 He complaineth of life, be- 
 cause of his anguish. 
 
 AFTER this opened Job his mouth, and 
 cursed his day. 
 
 2 And Job tspoke, and said, 
 
 3 "Let the day perish wherein I was born, 
 and the night in which it was said, There 
 is a man child conceived. 
 
 4 Let that day be darkness; let not God 
 regard it from above, neither let the light 
 shine on it. 
 
 5 Let darkness and 4 the shadow of death 
 llstain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; [] let 
 the 'gloom of the day terrify it. 
 
 6 As jor that night, let darkness seize 2 
 it; let it not 'rejoice among the days of 
 the year ; let it not come into the number 
 of the months. 
 
 7 Lo, let that night be /unfruitful ; let no . 
 joyful voice come therein. 
 
 8 Let those curse it who curse the day, 
 "who are ready to raise up s the huge ser- 
 pent. 
 
Job complaineth of life. 
 
 CHAPTERS IV. V. 
 
 Eliphaz relateth his vision. 
 
 9 Let the stars of the twilight thereof be 
 Markened ; let it 'wait for light, but have 
 none; neither let it see tthe dawning of 
 the "morning. 
 
 10 Because it shut not up the doors of my 
 mother's womb, nor hid sorrow from mine 
 eyes. 
 
 11 d Why died I not from the womb? why 
 did I not 9 expire when I came I0 from my 
 mother ? 
 
 12 'Why did the knees "receive me ? or 
 why the breasts that I should suck ? 
 
 13 For now should I have lain "down and 
 been quiet, I should have slept : then had 
 I been at rest, 
 
 14 With kings and counsellors of the 
 earth, who 'built desolate places for them- 
 selves ; 
 
 15 Or with princes who had gold, who 
 filled their houses with silver : 
 
 16 Or 'as a hidden untimely birth I had 
 ,3 been no more ; as infants who never saw 
 light. 
 
 17 There the wicked cease from trou- 
 bling ; and there the tweary 14 are at rest. 
 
 18 There the prisoners rest together; 
 A they hear not the voice of the ''taskmaster. 
 
 19 The small and great are there; and 
 the l6 bond-man is free from his master. 
 
 20 'Wherefore is light given to him that 
 is in misery, and life to the 'bitter in soul ; 
 
 21 Who t'long for death, but it cometh 
 not ; and dig for it more than m for hidden 
 treasures ; 
 
 22 Who rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, 
 when they can find '^a grave ? 
 
 23 Wlvy is light given to a man whose 
 way is hidden, "and whom God hath 
 hedged in ? 
 
 24 For my sighing cometh tbefore I eat, 
 and my 18 groans are poured out like the 
 waters. 
 
 25 For tthe thing which I greatly 19 dread- 
 \d hath come on me, ana that which I 
 
 -■"feared hath come to me. 
 
 26 I was not 2I secure, neither had I rest, 
 neither was I M careless; yet trouble came. 
 
 CHAPTER IV. 
 
 1 Eliphaz reproveth Job for want of religion. 7 He 
 teachetk God's judgments to be not for the right- 
 eous, but for the wicked. 12 His fearful vision, to 
 humble the excellency of creatures before God. 
 
 THEN Eliphaz the Temanite answered 
 and said, 
 
 2 If we 'attempt tto 2 speak with thee, 
 wilt thou be 3 im patient? but twho can Re- 
 frain from speaking ? 
 
 3 Behold, thou hast instructed many, and 
 thou "hast strengthened 5 weak hands. 
 
 4 Thy words Have upheld him who was 
 falling, and thou 'hast strengthened tthe 
 feeble knees. 
 
 5 But now it is come on thee, and thou 
 faintest; it toucheth thee, and thou art 
 6 confounded. 
 
 6 Is not 7 c thy fear, ''thy confidence ; thy 
 hope, 8 the uprightness of thy ways ? 
 
 7 Remember, I pray thee, 'who ever pe 
 rished, being innocent ? or where were the 
 righteous cut off? 
 
 8 Even as I have seen, 'they who plough 
 iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the 
 same. 
 
 9 By the blast of God they perish, and 
 ||by the breath of his nostrils are they con 
 sumed,

 Maker ?

 CHAPTER V. 
 
 1 The harm of inconsideration. 3 The end of the 
 wicked is misery. 6 God is to be regarded in af- 
 fliction. 17 The happy end of God's correction. 
 
 CALL now, if there be any that will 
 answer thee; and to which of the 'holy 
 ones wilt thou ||turn ? 
 
 2 For "vexation killeth the 3 fool, and ||en- 
 vy slayeth the silly one. 
 
 3 °I have seen the 4 fool taking root : but 
 suddenly I cursed his habitation. 
 
 4 'His children are far from safety, and 
 they are Oppressed in the gate, 'neither is 
 there any to deliver them. 
 
 5 6 His harvest the hungry eateth up, 
 and taketh it even out of the thorns, and 
 '"destruction lieth in wait for their sub- 
 stance. 
 
 6 Although Haffliction cometh not "from 
 the dust, neither doth trouble spring out 
 of the ground ; 
 
 7 Yet man is 'born to Htrouble, as tthe 
 sparks fly upward. 
 
 8 ~ But' I would seek to God, and to God 
 would I commit my cause : 
 
 9 'Who doth great things tand unsearch- 
 able; '"wonderful things twithout number : 
 
 10 'Who giveth rain on the earth, and 
 sendeth waters on the tfields : 
 
 11 *To set up on high those who "are 
 low; that those who mourn may be exalted 
 to safety. 
 
 12 'He disappointeth the devices of the 
 crafty, so that their hands Hcannot perform 
 their enterprise. 
 
 13 *He taketh the "cunning in their own 
 craftiness : and the counsel of the ,3 deceit- 
 ful is carried headlong. 
 
 14 'They ||meet with darkness in the day- 
 time, and grope in the noon-day as in the 
 night. 
 
 15 But m he saveth the poor from the 
 
 369 
 
Job wisheth for death, and 
 
 sword, from their mouth, and from the 
 hand of the mighty. 
 
 16 "So the poor hath hope, and iniquity 
 "shutteth her mouth. 
 
 17 "Behold, happy is the man whom God 
 correcteth : therefore despise not thou the 
 chastening of the Almighty : 
 
 18 ^For he 15 woundeth, and bindeth up : 
 he 16 bruiseth, and his hands make whole. 
 
 , 19 «He shall deliver thee in six troubles : 
 yea, in seven 'there shall no evil touch thee. 
 
 20 'In famine he shall redeem thee from 
 death : and in war tfrom the power of the 
 sword. 
 
 21 'Thoushaltbe hidden ||from the scourge 
 of the tongue : neither shalt thou be afraid 
 of destruction when it cometh. 
 
 22 At destruction and famine thou shalt 
 laugh : "neither shalt thou be afraid of the 
 beasts of the earth. 
 
 23 *For thou shalt be in league with the 
 stones of the field : and the beasts of the 
 field shall be at peace with thee. 
 
 24 And thou shalt know ||that thy 16 tent 
 shall be in peace ; and thou shalt visit thy 
 habitation, and shalt not "be disappointed. 
 
 25 Thou shalt know also that y thy "child- 
 ren shall be || l9 many, and thine offspring 
 *as the grass of the earth. 
 
 26 "Thou shalt come to thy grave in a 
 full age, like M a shock of 21 grain ^gather- 
 ed in its season. 
 
 27 Lo this, we have 'searched it, so it is; 
 hear it, and know thou it tfor thy good. 
 
 CHAPTER VI. 
 
 1 Job sheweth that his complaints are not causeless. 
 8 He wisheth for death, wherein he is assured of 
 comfort. 14 He reproveth his friends of unkind- 
 ness. 
 
 1 A ND Job answered and said, 
 -^- 2 Oh that my grief were thoroughly 
 
 weighed, and my calamity tlaid in the 
 
 balances together ! 
 
 3 For now it would be heavier "than the 
 sand of the sea : therefore ||my words are 
 swallowed up. 
 
 4 'For the arrows of the Almighty are 
 within me, the poison of which drinketh up 
 my spirit: c the terrors of God do set them- 
 selves in array against me. 
 
 5 Doth the wild ass bray t 2 over grass? or 
 loweth the ox over his fodder ? 
 
 6 Can that which is 3 insipid be eaten 
 without salt? or is there 4 taste in the 
 white of an egg ? 
 
 7 The things which my soul refused to 
 touch are as my 6 loathsome food.

 that God would grant me tthe thing 6 for 
 which I long ! 
 
 9 Even d that it would please God to de-

 10 7 Yet it is still my comfort, yea, I still 
 exult in ceaseless pain, that 'I have not 
 denied the words of ''the Holy One. 
 
 11 What is my strength, that I should 
 hope? And what is mine end, that I 
 should prolong my life ? 
 
 12 Is my strength the strength of stones ? 
 or is my flesh 8 brass ? 
 
 13 Is not my help "for me ? and is wis- 
 dom driven quite from me ?

 the fear of the Almighty.

 of his own restlessness, 17 and God's watchfulness.

 3 So am I made to possess 'months of 
 Calamity, and wearisome nights are ap- 
 pointed s for me. 
 
 4 c4 If I lie down, I say, When shall I 
 arise, and tthe night be gone ? and I am 
 full of tossings to and fro 6 until the dawn. 
 
 5 My flesh is ''clothed with worms and 
 clods of dust ; my skin is broken, and be- 
 come loathsome. 
 
 6 'My days are swifter than a weaver's 
 shuttle, and are spent without hope.

 CHAPTER VIII. 
 
 1 Bildad sheweth God's justice in dealing with men 
 according to their works. 8 He allegeth antiquity 
 to prove the certain destruction of the hypocrite. 
 20 He applieth God's just dealing to Job. 
 
 THEN answered Bildad the Shuhite, 
 and said, 
 
 2 How long wilt thou speak these things? 
 and how long shall the words of thy mouth 
 be like a strong wind ? 
 
 3 °Doth God pervert judgment; or doth 
 the Almighty pervert justice ? 
 
 4 If l thy children have sinned against 
 him, and he have cast them away tfor 
 their transgression ; 
 
 5 c If thou wouldest seek to God 'early, and 
 make thy supplication to the Almighty; 
 
 6 If thou loert pure and upright, surely 
 now he would av/ake for thee, and make the 
 habitation of thy righteousness prosperous. 
 
 7 Though thy beginning 2 were small, yet 
 thy latter end should greatly increase. 
 
 8 d For inquire, I pray thee, of the former 
 age, and prepare thyself to the search of 
 their fathers : 
 
 9 (For 'we are but of yesterday, and 
 know tnothing, because our days on earth 
 are a shadow :) 
 
 10 Will not they teach thee, and tell 
 thee, and utter words 3 from their 4 wisdom? 
 
 11 Can the rush grow up without mire ? 
 can the 5 bulrush grow without water? 
 
 12 f Whilst it is yet in its greenness, and 
 not cut down, it withereth before any other

 13 So are the paths of all that forget God ; 
 and the 6 hope of the ungodly shall perish : 
 
 14 Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose 
 trust shall be ta spider's web. 
 
 15 ft He shall lean on his house, but it shall 
 not stand : he shall hold it fast, but it shall 
 not endure. 
 
 16 He is green before the sun, and his 
 branch shooteth forth 7 over his garden. 
 
 17 His roots are wrapped about the heap, 
 and ' he' seeth the place of stones. 
 
 18 'If he destroy him from his place, then

 CHAPTER IX. 
 
 1 Job, acknowledging God's justice, sheweth there is 
 no contending with him. 22 Man's innocency is 
 not to be condemned by afflictions. 
 
 THEN Job answered and said, 
 2 I know it is so of a truth: but how 
 should "man be just |] with God ? 
 
 3 If he will contend with him, he cannot 
 answer him 'for'' one of a thousand. 
 
 4 h He is wise in heart, and mighty in 
 strength: who hath hardened himself 
 against him, and hath prospered ? 
 
 5 Who removeth the mountains, and they 
 know not: who overturneth them in his 
 anger ; 
 
 6 Who 'shaketh the earth out of her place, 
 and d the pillars thereof tremble ; 
 
 7 Who commandeth the sun, and it riseth 
 not ; and sealeth up the stars ; 
 
 8 'Who alone spreadeth out the heavens, 
 and treadeth on the twaves of the sea ; 
 
 9 'Who maketh t'the Bear, Orion, and 
 2 the Seven-stars, and the chambers of the 
 south ; 
 
 10 s Who doeth great things past finding 
 out; yea, and wonders without number. 
 
 11 *Lo, he goeth 3 above me, and I see 
 him not: he passeth 4 by also, but I per- 
 ceive him not. 
 
 12 'Behold, he taketh away, twho can 
 hinder him ? who will say to him, What 
 doest thou ? 
 
 13 5 God will not withdraw his anger, 
 *the tproud helpers ^ow beneath him. 
 
 14 How much less shall I answer him, 
 and choose out my words to ''contend with 
 him ? 
 
 15 'Whom, though I were "innocent, yet 
 would I not answer, but I would make 
 supplication to my judge. 
 
 16 If I had called, and he had answered 
 me; yet 9 could I not believe that he had 
 hearkened to my voice. 
 
 17 For he '"falleth on me with a tempest, 
 and multiplieth my wounds m without cause. 
 
 18 He will not suffer me to take my 
 breath, but filleth me with bitterness. 
 
 19 If / speak of strength, lo, he is strong : 
 and if of judgment, who will set me a time 
 to plead ? 
 
 20 If I justify myself, mine own mouth 
 will condemn me: If I say, I am "sincere, 
 it will also prove me perverse. 
 
 21 Though I were 12 sincere, yet would I 
 not "regard my "life : I would despise my 
 life. 
 
 22 This is one thing, therefore I said ,s , 
 "He destroyeth the 16 sincere and the wicked. 
 
 23 If the scourge slay suddenly, he will 
 laugh at the "calamity of the innocent. 
 
 24 The earth is given into the hand of the 
 wicked : "he covereththe faces of the judges 
 thereof; if not, where, and who is he ? 
 
 25 Now p my days are swifter than a post : 
 they flee away, they see no good. 
 
 26 They I8 pass away I9 like the t||swift 
 ships : « 20 like the eagle 21 flying to the prey. 
 
 27 r If I say, I will forget my complaint, 
 
 371 
 
Job expostulated with God freely. 
 
 I will leave off' my heaviness, and ffl be 
 cheerful : 
 
 28 'I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know 
 that thou 'wilt not hold me innocent. 
 
 29 23 I shall be condemned, why then la- 
 bour I in vain ? 
 
 30 "If I '"bathe myself fin snow-water, 
 and 26 cleanse my hands with soap ; 
 
 31 Yet thou wilt plunge me in the a7 pit, 
 and mine own clothes will ||abhor me. 
 
 32 For x he is not a man, as I am, that I 
 should answer him, and we should come 
 together in judgment. 
 
 33 "Neither is there tany 28 umpire be- 
 tween us, who might lay his hand on us 
 both. 
 
 34 2 Let him take his rod away from me, 
 and let not his 29 terror dismay me : 
 
 35 Then would I speak, and not fear him ; 
 tbut it is not so with me. 
 
 CHAPTER X. 
 
 1 Job, taking liberty of complaint, expostulated with 
 God about his afflictions. 18 He complaineth of 
 life, and craveth a little ease before death. 
 
 al T AM || weary of my life; I will leave 
 -L my complaint on myself; b I will speak 
 in the bitterness of my soul. 
 
 2 I will say to God, Do not condemn me ; 
 shew me wherefore thou contendest with 
 me. 
 
 3 Is it good to thee that thou shouldest 
 oppress, that thou shouldest despise tthe 
 work of thy hands, and shine on the coun- 
 sel of the wicked ? 
 
 4 Hast thou eyes of flesh ? or c seest thou 
 as man seeth ? 
 
 5 Are thy days as the days of man ? are 
 thy years as man's days, 
 
 6 That thou inquirest after mine iniquity, 
 and searchest after my sin ? 
 
 7 I 1 " Though' thou knowest that I am not 
 wicked ; and there is 2 no one that can de- 
 liver 3 from thy hand. 
 
 8 e Thy hands thave made me and fashion 
 ed me together round about; yet thou 
 dost destroy me. 
 
 9 Remember, I beseech thee, that 'thou 
 hast 4 shaped me 5 like the clay ; and wilt 
 thou bring me to dust again ? 
 
 10 <Hast thou not poured me out 6 like 
 milk, and curdled me like cheese ? 
 
 11 Thou hast clothed me with skin and 
 flesh, and hast tfenced me with bones and 
 sinews. 
 
 12 Thou hast granted me life and 'kind- 
 ness, and thy visitation hath preserved my 
 8 breath. 
 
 13 And these things hast thou hidden in 
 thine heart : I know that this is with thee. 
 
 14 If I sin, then Hhou markest me, and 
 thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity. 
 
 15 If I be wicked, 'wo to me ; *and if I 
 be 9 innocent, yet will I not lift up my 
 head. I am full of 10 shame; therefore 'see 
 thou mine affliction ; 
 
 16 "If it is lifted up, m thou huntest me 
 ,2 like a fierce lion : and again thou shew- 
 est thy "wonderful power against me. 
 
 17 Thou renewest ||thy witnesses against 
 me, and increasest thine indignation upon 
 me ; 14 changes and war are against me.

 22 A land of darkness, 18 like the gloom 
 of the shadow of death, without any order, 
 and where the light is 19 like gloom. 
 
 CHAPTER XI. 
 
 1 Zophar reproveth Job for justifying himself. 5 
 God's wisdom is unsearchable. 13 The assured 
 blessing of repentance. 
 
 THEN answered Zophar the Naamath- 
 ite, and said, 
 
 2 Should not the multitude of words be 
 answered ? and should ta man full of talk 
 be justified ? 
 
 3 Should thy lilies make men hold their 
 peace ? and when thou mockest, shall no 
 man make thee ashamed ? 
 
 4 For "thou hast said, My doctrine is pure, 
 and I am clean in 'thy sight. 
 
 5 But Oh that God would speak, and open 
 his lips against thee ; 
 
 6 And that he would shew thee the se- 
 crets of wisdom, that they are 2 the double 
 of what can be understood ! Know there- 
 fore that 4 God exacteth of thee less then 
 thine iniquity deserveth. 
 
 7 "Canst thou by searching find out God ? 
 canst thou find out the Almighty to per- 
 fection ? 
 
 8 It is tas high as heaven ; what canst 
 thou do? deeper than 3 hell; what canst 
 thou know ? 
 
 9 The measure thereof is longer than the 
 earth, and broader than the sea. 
 
 10 d H he || 4 attack, and shut up, or gather 
 5 to trial, then twho can hinder him ? 
 
 1 1 For c he knoweth vain men : he seeth 
 wickedness also; will he not then con- 
 sider it ? 
 
 12 6 But 'vain man is without understand- 
 ing, for man is born like a wild ass's colt. 
 
 13 E If thou "prepare thy heart, and 'stretch 
 out thy hands towards him ; 
 
 14 If iniquity be in thy hand, put it far 
 away, and *let not wickedness dwell in 
 thy 7 tents. 
 
 15 'For then thou shalt lift up thy face 
 without spot ; yea, thou shalt be steadfast, 
 and shalt not fear : 
 
 16 Because thou shalt "'forget thy misery, 
 and remember it as waters s which have 
 passed away ; 
 
 17 And thine age t "shall be clearer than 
 the noon-day : 9 though now covered with 
 darkness, thou shalt be as the morning. 
 
 18 And thou shalt be secure, because 
 there is hope; yea, thou shalt dig about 
 thee, and "thou shalt 10 lie down in safety. 
 
 19 Also thou shalt lie down, and none 
 shall make thee afraid; yea, many shall 
 tmake suit to thee. 
 
 20 But p the eyes of the wicked shall fail, 
 and tthey shall not escape, and 'their hope 
 shall be "like an expiring breath. 
 
 CHAPTER XII. 
 
 1 Job maintaineth himself against his friends that 
 reprove him. 7 He acknowledged the general 
 doctrine of God's omnipotency. 
 
 AND. Job answered and said, 
 2 No doubt but ye are the people, and 
 wisdom will die with you. 
 
Job acknowledgeth God's omnipotence. CHAPTERS XIII. XIV. Job again reproveth his friends. 
 
 3 But "I have tunderstanding as well as 
 you ; tl am not inferior to you : yea, twho 
 knoweth not such things as these ? 
 
 4 4 I am Hike one mocked 2 by his neigh- 
 bour, who c calleth on God, and he an- 
 swereth him: the just upright man is 
 3 mocked. 
 
 5 d He that is ready to slip with his feet 
 is Hike a lamp despised in the thought of 
 him who is at ease. 
 
 6 "The 6 tents of robbers prosper, and 
 those who provoke God are secure ; into 
 whose hand God bringeth abundantly. 
 
 7 But ask now the beasts, and they will 
 teach thee ; and the fowls of the air, and 
 they will tell thee : 
 
 8 Or speak to the earth, and it will teach 
 thee ; and the fishes of the sea will declare 
 to thee. 
 
 9 Who "among all these knoweth not that 
 the hand of Jehovah hath wrought this ? 
 
 10 'In whose hand is the 7 life of every 
 living thing, and the breath of tall mankind. 
 
 11 e Doth not the ear try words? and the 
 tmouth taste 8 its food ? 
 
 12 "With the 9 aged is wisdom; and in 
 length of days understanding. 
 
 13 || 'With 10 Him is wisdom and strength, 
 he hath counsel and understanding. 
 
 14 Behold, *he breaketh down, and it 
 cannot be built again : he 'shutteth tup a 
 man, and there can be no opening. 
 
 15 Behold, he m withholdeth the waters, 
 and they dry up : "and he "sendeth them 
 out, and they overturn the earth. 
 
 16 "With him is strength and wisdom : 
 the deceived and the deceiver are his. 
 
 17 He leadeth counsellors away 12 cap- 
 tives, and 'maketh the judges fools. 
 
 18 He looseth the bond of kings, and 
 girdeth their loins with a girdle. 
 
 19 He leadeth princes away 13 captives, 
 and overthroweth the mighty. 
 
 20 'He removeth away Tthe speech of the 
 trusty, and taketh away the "discernment 
 of the aged. 
 
 21 r He poureth contempt on princes, and 
 llweakeneth the strength of the mighty. 
 
 22 'He 15 revealeth deep things 16 from dark- 
 ness, and bringeth out to light the shadow 
 of death. 
 
 23 'He increaseth the nations, and de 
 stroyeth them : he enlargeth the nations, 
 and tstraiteneth them again. 
 
 24 He taketh away the "understanding 
 of the chief of the people of the earth, and 
 "causeth them to wander in a ls desert 
 ivhere there is no 19 path. 
 
 25 'They grope in the dark without light, 
 and he maketh them to t^stagger like a 
 drunken man. 
 
 CHAPTER XIII. 
 
 1 Job reproveth his friends of partiality. 14 Hepro- 
 fesseth Ms confidence in God : 20 and entreateth to 
 know his own sins, and God's purpose in afflict- 
 ing him. 
 
 LO, mine eye hath seen all this, mine 
 ear hath heard and understood it. 
 
 2 "What ye know, the same do I know 
 also : I am not inferior to you. 
 
 3 "But yet I would speak to the Almighty, 
 and I desire to reason with God. 
 
 4 But ye are forgers of lies, c ye are all 
 physicians of no value. 
 
 5 O that ye would altogether hold your 
 peace ; and ''it Vould be your wisdom.

 6 Hear, 3 I pray you, my reasoning, and 
 hearken to the pleadings of my lips. 
 
 7 'Will ye speak wickedly for God ? and 
 4 utter falsehood for him ? 
 
 8 Will ye accept his person? will ye 
 contend for God ? 
 
 9 Is it good that he should search you 
 out ? or as one man 6 deceiveth another, do 
 ye so Meceive him ? 
 
 10 He will surely reprove you, if ye T 
 secretly accept persons. 
 
 11 Shall not his excellency make you 
 afraid ? and his dread fall upon you ? 
 
 12 Your 8 maxims are proverbs of ashes, 
 your bulwarks are bulwarks of clay. 
 
 13 tHold your peace, let me alone, that 
 I may speak, and let come on me what 
 will. 
 
 14 Wherefore 'do I take my flesh in my 
 teeth, and f put my life in my hand? 
 
 15 "Though he slay me, yet will 1 trust 
 in him: "but I will tmaintain mine own 
 ways before him. 
 
 16 He also shall be my salvation : for a 
 hypocrite shall not come before him. 
 
 17 Hear diligently my speech, and my 
 declaration with your ears. 
 
 18 Behold, now, I have ordered my 
 cause ; I know that I shall be justified. 
 
 19 *Who is he that will plead with me ? 
 for now, if I hold my 9 peace, I shall "ex- 
 pire. 
 
 20 'Only do not two things to me : then 
 will I not hide myself from thee. 
 
 21 "Withdraw thy hand far from me : and 
 let not thy dread make me afraid. 
 
 22 Then call thou, and I will answer: or 
 let me speak, and answer thou me. 
 
 23 How many are mine iniquities and 
 sins? make me u know my "rebellion and 
 my sin. 
 
 24 "Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and 
 ° 13 esteemest me for thine enemy? 
 
 25 p Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and 
 fro? and wilt thou pursue the dry stubble? 
 
 26 For thou writest bitter things against 
 me, and «makest me to possess the iniqui- 
 ties of my youth. 
 
 27 r Thou puttest my feet also in the 
 stocks, and t 14 watchest all my paths; thou 
 15 makest a mark for the theels of my feet. 
 
 28 And he, 16 like a rotten thing, "will 
 waste away, I8 like a garment that is moth- 
 eaten. 
 
 CHAPTER XIV. 
 
 1 Job entreateth Godforfavovr, by the shortness of 
 life, and certainty of death. 7 Though life once 
 lost be irrecoverable, yet he waitethfor his change. 
 16 By sin the creature is subject to corruption. 
 
 MAN who is born of a woman is tof 
 few days, and "full of trouble. 
 
 2 l He cometh forth like a flower, and is 
 cut down : he fleeth also 'like a shadow, 
 and continueth not. 
 
 3 And c dost thou open thine eyes on such 
 a one, and "Tjringest me into judgment 
 with thee ? 
 
 4 tWho "can bring a clean thing out of 
 an unclean ? not one. 
 
 5 'Seeing his days are determined, the 
 number of his months is with thee, thou 
 hast appointed his bounds that he cannot 
 pass; 
 
 6 «Turn from him, that he may trest, till 
 he shall 2 enjoy, "like a hireling, his day. 
 
 7 For there is hope 3 for a tree, if it be 
 
 373 
 
The shortness and trouble of life. 
 
 cut down, 'that it will sprout again, and 
 that the tender branch thereof will not 
 cease. 
 
 8 Though the root thereof 4 grow old in the 
 earth, and the 6 trunk thereof die in the 
 ground ; 
 
 9 Yet through the scent of water it will 
 bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant. 
 
 10 But man dieth, and twasteth away: 
 yea, man 6 expireth, and where is he ? 
 
 11 As the waters fail from the sea, and 
 the flood decayeth and drieth up : 
 
 12 So man lieth down, and riseth not: 
 Hill the heavens ''are no more, they will 
 not awake, nor be raised 8 from their sleep. 
 
 13 that thou wouldest hide me in the 
 9 grave, that thou wouldest '"conceal me, un- 
 til thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest 
 appoint me a set time, and remember me! 
 
 14 If a man die, shall he live again? all 
 the days of my "hard service 'will I wait, 
 '"till my change come. 
 
 15 "Thou wdt call, and I will answer 
 thee: thou wilt have a desire 12 for the 
 work of thy hands. 
 
 16 "For now thou numberest my steps: 
 dost thou not watch over my sin ? 
 
 17 p My transgression is sealed up in a 
 bag, and thou sewest up mine iniquity. 
 
 18 And surely the mountain falling tcom- 
 eth to "nothing, and the rock is removed 
 '"from its place. 
 
 19 The waters wear the stones: thou 
 twashest away the things which grow out 
 of the dust of the earth; 15 so thou destroy - 
 est the hope of man. 
 
 20 Thou prevailest for ever against him, 
 and he passeth : thou changest his counte- 
 nance, and sendest him away. 
 
 21 His sons come to honour, and 'he 
 knoweth it not ; 16 or they are brought low, 
 but he perceiveth it not of them. 
 
 22 But "his flesh on him shall have pain, 
 and his soul within him shall mourn. 
 
 CHAPTER XV. 
 
 1 Eliphaz reproveth Job of impiety in justifying 
 himself. 17 He proveth by tradition the unquiet- 
 ness of wicked men. 
 
 THEN answered Eliphaz the Temanite, 
 and said, 
 
 2 Should a wise man utter tvain know- 
 ledge, and fill his 'body with the east wind ? 
 
 3 Should he reason with unprofitable talk ? 
 or with speeches wherewith he can do no 
 good ? 
 
 4 Yea, thou 2 makest fear useless, and re- 
 strainest Uprayer before God. 
 
 5 For thy mouth tuttereth thine iniquity, 
 and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty. 
 
 6 "Thine own mouth condemneth thee, 
 and not I: yea, thine own lips testify 
 against thee. 
 
 7 Jirt thou the first man that was born ? 
 'or wast thou 3 formed before the hills ? 
 
 8 c Hast thou ^listened in the council of 
 God ? and dost thou restrain wisdom to

 'deliver you. 
 
 6 Though I speak, my grief is not as- 
 suaged : and though I forbear, twhat am 
 
 1 eased ? 
 
 7 But now he hath made me weary : thou 
 hast made desolate all my company. 
 
 8 And thou hast filled me with wrinkles, 
 which are a witness against me: and my 
 leanness rising up on me beareth witness 
 to my face. 
 
 9 'He teareth me in his wrath, who 4 pur- 
 sueth me: he gnasheth 6 at me with his 
 teeth; ''mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes 
 6 at me. 
 
 10 They have 'gaped 7 at me with their 
 mouth ; they 'have smitten me on the 
 cheek reproachfully ; they have ^gathered 
 themselves 8 against me. 
 
 11 God 'thath delivered me to the ungod- 
 ly, and turned me over into the hands of 
 the wicked. 
 
 12 I was at ease, but he hath broken me 
 asunder : he hath also taken me by my 
 neck, and shaken me to pieces, and "set 
 me up for his mark. 
 
 13 His archers 9 encompass me around, 
 he cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth 
 not spare; he poureth out my gall upon 
 the ground. 
 
 14 He breaketh me with breach upon 
 breach, he runneth upon me like a 10 mighty 
 man.

 5 Yea, the light of the wicked shall be 
 put out, and the 'flame of his fire shall not 
 shine. 
 
 6 The light shall be Markness in his 5 tent, 
 and his 6 lamp shall be put out with him. 
 
 7 The steps of his strength shall be strait-

 14 'His confidence shall be 19 torn away

 16 'His roots shall be dried up beneath,

 19 "He shall Jieither have ^offspring nor

Job sheweth his great misery. 
 
 21 Surely such are the dwellings of the 
 wicked, and this is the place of him that 
 ^knoweth not God. 
 
 CHAPTER XIX. 
 
 1 Job, complaining of his friends' cruelty, sheweth 
 there is misery enough in him to feed their cruel- 
 ty. 21, 28 He craveth pity. 23 He believeth the 
 resurrection. 
 
 THEN Job answered and said, 
 2 How long will ye vex ray soul, and 
 break me in pieces with words r 
 
 3 These "ten times have ye reproached 
 me : ye are not ashamed that ye 'confuse 
 me. 
 
 4 And be it 'so' indeed that I have erred, 
 mine error remaineth with myself. 
 
 5 If indeed ye will 'magnify yourselves 
 against me, and plead my reproach against 
 me : 
 
 6 Know now that God hath overthrown 
 me, and hath encompassed me with Ms net. 
 
 7 Behold, I cry out of ||wrong, but I am 
 not 2 answered : I cry aloud, but there is 
 no justice. 
 
 8 'He hath fenced up my way ' so' that I 
 cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in 
 my paths. 
 
 9 d He hath stripped me of my glory, and 
 taken the crown from my head. 
 
 10 He hath destroyed me on every side, 
 and I am gone : and my hope hath he 
 "plucked up like a tree. 
 
 11 He hath also kindled his wrath against 
 me, and 'he counteth me to himself as one 
 of his enemies. 
 
 12 His troops come together, and A'aise 
 up their way against me, and encamp 
 5 around my 6 tent. 
 
 13 ^He hath put my brethren far from 
 me, and mine acquaintance are 7 truly 
 estranged from me. 
 
 14 My kindred have failed, and my fa- 
 miliar friends have forgotten me. 
 
 15 They 8 who sojourn in my house, and 
 my 9 hand-maidens, count me for a stranger : 
 I am an alien in their sight. 
 
 16 1 10 call my servant, and lie "giveth me 
 no answer; I intreat him with my mouth. 
 
 17 My breath is 12 loathsome to my wife, 
 though I intreat for the children's sake of 
 tmine own body. 
 
 18 Yea, || "young children despise me; I 
 arise, and they speak against me. 
 
 19 'All tmy 13 bosom friends abhor me: and 
 they whom I loved are turned against me. 
 
 20 *My bone cleaveth to my skin Hand to 
 my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin 
 of my teeth. 
 
 21 Have pity on me, have pity on me, O 
 ye my friends; 'for the hand of God hath 
 "smitten me. 
 
 22 Why do ye "'persecute me 15 like God, 
 and are not satisfied with my flesh ? 
 
 23 tO that my words were now written ! 
 O that they were ^inscribed in a book ! 
 
 24 That they were engraven with an iron 
 pen and lead in the rock for ever ! 
 
 25 17 Yet I know that my Redeemer liveth, 
 and that he shall stand at the 18 last day on 
 the earth : 
 
 26 ||And though after mv skin worms 
 destroy this body, yet "in my flesh shall I 
 see God : 
 
 27 Whom I shall see for myself, and mine 
 eyes shall behold, and nottanother ; \\though

 CHAPTER XX. 
 
 Zophar sheweth the state and portion of the wicked. 
 
 THEN answered Zophar the Naamath- 
 ite, and said, 
 
 2 Therefore do my thoughts cause me to 
 answer, and for this tl make haste. 
 
 3 I have heard the 'admonition of my re- 
 proach, and the spirit of my understanding 
 causeth me to answer. 
 
 4 Knowest thou not this of old, since 
 man was placed upon earth, 
 
 5 "That the triumphing of the wicked is 
 tshort, and the joy of the 2 impious but for 
 a moment? 
 
 6 'Though his 'greatness mount up to the 
 heavens, and his head reach to the telouds ; 
 
 7 Yet he shall perish for ever "like his own 
 4 ordure : they who have seen him shall say, 
 Where is he ? 
 
 8 He shall fly away d as a dream, and shall 
 not be found : yea, he shall 5 flee away 6 like 
 a vision of the night. 
 
 9 'The eye also which saw him shall see 
 him no more ; neither shall his place any 
 more behold him. 
 
 10 || His children shall seek to please the 
 poor, and his hands 'shall restore their 
 ^wealth. 
 
 11 His bones are full of s the sin of his 
 youth, "which shall lie down with him in 
 the dust. 
 
 12 Though wickedness be sweet in his 
 mouth, though he hide it under his tongue ; 
 
 13 Though he spare it, and forsake it not; 
 but keep it still twithin his mouth : 
 
 14 Yet his 8 food in his bowls is 'changed, 
 it is the 10 poison of asps within him. 
 
 15 He hath swallowed down riches, and 
 he shall vomit them up again : God shall 
 cast them out of his "stomach. 
 
 16 He shall suck the poison of asps : the 
 viper's tongue shall slay him. 
 
 17 He shall not see "the "flowing streams, 
 the brooks of honey and 13 milk. 
 
 18 That which he laboured for "shall he 
 restore, and shall not swallow it down: 
 taccording to his substance shall the resti- 
 tution be, and he shall not rejoice therein. 
 
 19 Because he hath toppressed and hath 
 forsaken the poor ; because he hath violent- 
 ly taken away a house which he built not ; 
 
 20 'Surely he shall not tfeel quietness 
 u within, he shall not save of that which he 
 desired. 
 
 21 ||There shall none of his 15 food be left; 
 therefore I6 his prosperity shall not endure. 
 
 22 In the fulness of his sufficiency he 
 shall be in "trouble : every hand of the 
 Hwicked shall come upon him. 
 
 23 When he is about to fill his belly, God 
 shall cast the fury of his wrath upon him, 
 and shall rain it upon him ™while he is 
 eating. 
 
 24 "He shall flee from the iron weapon, 
 and the bow of "brass shall 19 pierce him 
 through. 
 
 25 20 The arrow is drawn, and cometh out 
 of the body; yea, "the glittering sword 
 cometh out of his gall : ^terrors are upon 
 him.

 CHAPTER XXL 
 
 1 Job sheweth that even in the judgment of man he 
 hath reason to be grieved. 7 Sometimes tlie wicked 
 do so prosper, as they despise God. 16 Sometimes 
 their destruction is manifest. 22 The luippy and 
 unhappy are alike in death. 27 The judgment of 
 the wicked is in another world. 
 
 BUT Job answered and said, 
 2 Hear diligently my speech, and let 
 this be your consolations. 
 
 3 'Bear with me that I may speak ; and 
 after that I have spoken, "mock on. 
 
 4 As for me, is my complaint to man? 
 and if it were so, why should not my spi- 
 rit be ttroubled ? 
 
 5 t 2 Look on me, and be astonished, 'and 
 lay your hand upon your mouth. 
 
 6 Even when I remember I am afraid, 
 and trembling s seizeth my flesh. 
 
 7 'Wherefore do the wicked live, become 
 old, yea, are mighty in powei;? 
 
 8 Their seed is established in their sight 
 with them, and their offspring before their 
 eyes. 
 
 9 Their houses tare safe from fear, ''nei- 
 ther is the rod of God upon them. 
 
 10 Their bull engendereth, and faileth 
 not: their cow calveth, and e casteth not 
 her calf. 
 
 11 They send forth their little ones like a 
 flock, and their children dance. 
 
 12 They take the 4 tabret and harp, and 
 rejoice at the sound of the organ. 
 
 13 They 'spend their days ||in wealth, and 
 in a moment go down to the 5 grave. 
 
 14 ^Therefore they say to Godi Depart 
 from us ; for we desire not the knowledge 
 of thy ways. 
 
 15 A Who is the Almighty, that we should 
 serve him ? and "what profit shall we have, 
 if we pray to him ? 
 
 16 Lo, their prosperity is not in their 
 hand : 'the counsel of the wicked is far 
 from me. 
 
 17 'How often is the 'lamp of the wicked 
 put out ? and how often cometh their de- 
 struction on them ? God "distributeth sor- 
 rows in his anger. 
 
 18 "They are as stubble before the wind, 
 and as chaff 8 which the whirlwind fcarri- 
 eth away. 
 
 19 God layeth up ||his iniquity "for his 
 children: he rewardeth him, and he shall 
 know it. 
 
 20 His eyes shall see his destruction, and 
 r he shall drink of the wrath of the Al- 
 mighty. 
 
 21 For what pleasure hath he in his house 
 after him, when the number of his months 
 is cut off 9 ? 
 
 _ 22 'Shall any teach God knowledge ? see- 
 ing he judgeth those who are high. 
 _ 23 One dieth tin his full '"prosperity, be-

 CHAPTER XXII. 
 
 1 Eliphaz sheweth that man's goodness prcfiteth not 
 God. 5 He accuseth Job of divers sins. 21 He ex- 
 horteth him to repentance, with promises of mercy. 
 
 THEN Eliphaz the Temanite answered 
 and said, 
 
 2 "Can a man 'profit God, ||as he that is 
 wise may 2 profit himself? 
 
 3 Is it s a valuable thing to the Almighty, 
 that thou art righteous ? or is it gain to him, 
 that thou makest thy ways 4 righteous? 
 
 4 Will he reprove thee for fear of thee ? 
 will he enter with thee into judgment ? 
 
 5 & Was not thy wickedness great ? and 
 thine iniquities 6 without end ? 
 
 6 For thou hast *taken a pledge from thy 
 brother for 7 nothing, and tstripped the 
 8 ragged of their clothing. 
 
 7 Thou hast not given water to the 
 9 thirsty to drink, and thou c hast withholden 
 bread from the hungry. 
 
 8 But as for tthe mighty man, he had the 
 earth ; and the thonourable man dwelt in it. 
 
 9 Thou hast sent widows away empty, and 
 the arms of ''the fatherless have been broken. 
 
 10 Therefore c snares are round about thee s 
 and sudden fear '"confoundeth thee ; 
 
 11 Or darkness, that thou canst not see ; 
 and 'an' abundance of f waters covereth 
 thee. 
 
 12 Is not God in the height of heaven ? 
 and behold tthe "highest of the stars, how 
 high they are ! 
 
 13 And thou sayest, * 12 What doth God 
 know ? can he judge through "thick dark- 
 ness ? 
 
 14 ,lU Dark clouds are a "Veil for him, 'so' 
 that he seeth not ; and he walketh 16 on the 
 "arch of heaven. 
 
 15 Hast thou marked the old way which 
 wicked men have trodden ? 
 
 16 Who 'were cut down 18 before their 
 time, twhose foundation was overflown 
 with a flood : 
 
 17 *Who said to God, Depart from us : 
 and 'what can the Almighty do I9 fo them? 
 
 18 Yet he filled their houses with good 
 things: but m 'may' the counsel of the 
 wicked ^be far from me. 
 
Job longeth to appear before God. 
 
 19 "The righteous see it, and are glad: 
 and the innocent 21 mock them. 
 
 20 ^Yet our ||substance is not cut down, 
 but ||the remnant of them the fire cpnsumeth. 
 
 21 Acquaint now thyself ||with him, and "be 
 at peace: thereby good shall come to thee. 
 
 22 Receive, I pray thee, ^instruction from 
 his mouth, and p lay up his words in thy heart. 
 
 23 'If thou return to the Almighty, thou 
 shalt be built up, thou shalt put away ini- 
 quity far from thy ^tents. 
 
 24 Then shalt thou r26 get thy gold in the 
 dust, and the gold of Ophir '"among the 
 stones of the brooks. 
 
 25 28 And the Almighty shall be thy ^gold, 
 and 30 treasures of tsilver to thee. 
 
 26 For then shalt thou have thy "delight 
 in the Almighty, and 'shalt lift up thy face 
 to God. a 
 
 27 "Thou shalt make thy prayer to him, 
 and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay 
 thy vows. 
 
 28 Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it 
 shall be established to thee : and the light 
 shall shine on thy ways. 
 
 29 When men are cast down, then thou 
 shalt say, There is lifting up ; and *he shall 
 save tthe humble person. 
 
 30 || He shall deliver the island of the in- 
 nocent : and it is delivered by the pure- 
 ness of thy hands. 
 
 CHAPTER XXIII. 
 
 1 Job longeth to appear before God, 6 in confidence 
 of his mercy. 8 God, who is invisible, observeth 
 our ways. 11 Job's innocency. 13 God's decree 
 is immutable. 
 
 THEN Job answered and said, 
 2 Even to-day is my complaint bitter: 
 tmy stroke is heavier than my groaning. 
 
 3 °Oh that I knew where I might find 
 him ! that I might come even to his seat ! 
 
 4 I would order my cause before him, and 
 fill my mouth with arguments. 
 
 5 I would know the words which he 
 would answer me, and understand what 
 
 ' he would say to me. 
 
 6 "Would he 2 contend against me with 
 his great power? No; but he would "re- 
 gard me. 
 
 7 There the righteous might 4 argue with 
 him ; so should I be delivered for ever 
 from my judge. 
 
 8 'Behold, I go forward, but he is not 
 there; and backward, but I cannot per- 
 ceive him : 
 
 9 On the left hand, where he doth work, 
 but I cannot behold him : he hideth him- 
 self on the right hand, 6 and I cannot see 
 him : 
 
 10 But he ''knoweth tthe way which I 
 take : when 'he hath tried me, I shall come 
 forth as gold. 
 
 11 f My foot hath held his steps, his way 
 have I kept, and not 6 turned aside. 
 
 12 Neither have I 7 departed from the 
 commandment of his lips ; t g I have es- 
 teemed the words of his mouth more than 
 ||my necessary food. 
 
 1 3 But he is in one mind, and *who can 
 turn him ? and what i8 he desireth, even 
 that he doeth. 
 
 14 For he performeth the thing ivhich is 
 'appointed for me . and many such things 
 are with him. 
 
 15 Therefore am I troubled at his pre- 
 sence : when I consider, I am afraid of him.

 1 Wickedness goeth often unpunished. 17 There is 
 
 a secret judgment for the wicked. 
 "IT^HY, seeing "times are not hidden 
 * v from the Almighty, do they that 
 know him not see his days ? 
 
 2 Some remove the 'landmarks; they 
 violently take away flocks, and feed Hhem. 
 
 3 They drive away the ass of the father- 
 less, they lake the widow's ox for a pledge. 
 
 4 They turn the needy out of the way : 
 d the poor of the earth hide themselves to- 
 gether. 
 
 5 Behold, Hike wild asses in the desert, 
 they go forth to their work ; rising betimes 
 for a prey : the 3 waste region yieldeth food 
 for them and for their children. 
 
 6 They reap 4 the provender of the field : 
 and tthey gather the vintage of the wicked. 
 
 7 They 'cause the naked to lodge without 
 clothing, ' so' that they have no covering in 
 the cold. 
 
 8 They are wet with the 5 storms of the 
 mountains, and ^embrace the rock for 
 want of a shelter. 
 
 9 They pluck the fatherless from the 
 breast, and take a pledge of the poor. 
 
 10 They cause him to go naked without 
 clothing, and they take away the sheaf 
 from the hungry ; 
 
 1 1 Who make oil within their walls, and 
 tread their wine-presses, and suffer thirst. 
 
 12 Men groan from out of the city, and 
 the soul of the wounded crieth out : yet 
 God layeth not folly to them. 
 
 13 6 These are those who rebel against the 
 light; they know not the ways thereof, 
 nor abide in the paths thereof. 
 
 14 g The murderer rising with the light 
 killeth the poor and needy, and in the 
 night is as a thief. 
 
 15 "The eye also of the adulterer waiteth 
 for the twilight, 'saying, No eye shall see 
 me : and tdisguiseth his face. 
 
 16 In the dark they dig through houses, 
 7 they shut themselves up in the day-time : 
 *they know not the light. 
 
 17 For the morning is to them even as 
 the shadow of death: if one know them, 
 they are in the terrors of the shadow of 
 death. 
 
 18 He is swift as the waters ; their por- 
 tion is cursed in the earth : he beholdeth 
 not the way of the vineyards. 
 
 19 Drought and heat tconsume the snow- 
 waters : so doth the 8 grave those who have 
 sinned. 
 
 20 9 His mother shall forget him; the worm 
 shall feed sweetly on him ; 'he shall be no 
 more remembered ; and wickedness shall 
 be broken as a tree. 
 
 21 He evil-entreateth the barren who 
 beareth not : and doeth not good to. the 
 widow. 
 
 22 He draweth also the mighty with his 
 power : he riseth up, Hand no man is sure 
 of life. 
 
 23 Though it be given him to be in safety, 
 10 and he is confident ; yet m his eyes are on 
 their ways. 
 
 24 They are exalted for a little while, -but

 tare gone and brought low ; they arc tt.iken 
 out of the way as all others, and cut off 
 as the tops of the ears of "grain. 
 25 And if it be not so now, who will make 
 me a liar, and make my speech "worth- 
 less ^ 
 
 CHAPTER XXV. 
 
 Bildad sheweth that man cannot be justified before 
 God. 
 
 THEN answered Bildad the Shuhite, 
 and said, 
 
 2 Dominion and fear are with Him. he 
 maketh peace in his high places. 
 
 3 Is there any number of his armies? and 
 upon whom doth not "his light arise ? 
 
 4 'How then can man be justified with 
 God ? or how can he be clean who is born 
 of a woman ? 
 
 5 *Look even to the moon, and it shineth 
 not ; yea, the stars are not pure in his sight. 
 
 6 How much less man, who is c a worm ; 
 and the son of man, who is a worm ? 
 
 CHAPTER XXVI. 
 
 1 Job reproving the uncharitable spirit of Bildad, 5 
 acknowledged the power of God to be infinite and 
 unsearchable. 
 
 BUT Job answered and said, 
 2 How hast thou helped him that is 
 without power ! how savest thou the arm 
 that hath no strength ! 
 
 3 How hast thou counselled him that hath 
 no wisdom ! and how hast thou plentifully 
 declared 'wisdom ! 
 
 4 To whom hast thou uttered words ? and 
 whose spirit came from thee ? 
 
 5 Dead things are formed from under the 
 waters, Hand the inhabitants thereof. 
 
 6 o2 Hell is naked before him, and destruc- 
 tion hath no covering. 
 
 7 'He stretcheth out the north over the 
 empty place, and hangeth the earth on no- 
 thing. 
 
 8 'He bindeth up the waters in his thick 
 clouds; and the cloud is not rent under 
 them. 
 
 9 He holdeth back the face of Ms throne, 
 and spreadeth his cloud upon it. 
 
 10 d He hath described a circular boun- 
 dary on the waters, tuntil the day and 
 night come to an end. 
 
 11 The pillars of heaven tremble, and are 
 astonished at his reproof. 
 
 12 'He 4 stilleth the sea 5 by his power, and 
 by his understanding he smiteth through 
 tthe proud. 
 
 13 ' By his Spirit he hath 6 adorned the 
 heavens ; his hand hath formed s the 'swift 
 serpent. 
 
 14 Lo, these are parts of his ways; 8 what 
 a whisper of him! 9 the thunder of his 
 power who can understand ? 
 
 CHAPTER XXVII. 
 
 1 Job protesteth his sincerity. 8 The hypocrite is 
 without hope. 11 The blessings which the wicked 
 have are turned into curses. 
 
 MOREOVER, Job tcontinued his para- 
 ble, and said, 
 
 2 As God liveth, "who hath taken away 
 my 'right; and the Almighty, who hath 
 t z troubled my soul ; 
 
 3 All the while my breath is in me, and 
 lithe Spirit of God is in my nostrils ; 
 
 4 My lips shall not speak wickedness, 
 nor my tongue utter deceit. 
 
 5 3 Far be it from me that I should justify 
 you : till I ^expire *I will not remove mine 
 integrity from me.

 8 "For what is the hope of the hypocrite, 
 though he hath gained, when God 'driveth 
 away his soul ? 
 
 9 / Will God hear his cry when trouble 
 cometh on him ? 
 
 10 *Will he delight himself in the Al- 
 mighty ? will he always call on God ? 
 
 11 I will teach you Concerning the hand 
 of God : that which is with the Almighty 
 I will not conceal. 
 
 12 Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; 
 why then are ye thus altogether vain ? 
 
 13 This is the portion of a wicked man 
 with God, and the heritage of oppressors, 
 which they shall receive 9 from the Almighty. 
 
 14 'If his children be multiplied, it is for 
 the sword: and his offspring shall not be

 15 Those that '"survive him shall be buried

 16 Though he heap up silver as the dust, 
 and prepare raiment as the clay ; 
 
 17 He may prepare it, but 'the just shall 
 put it on, and the innocent shall divide the 
 silver. 
 
 18 He buildeth his house "like a moth,

 19 The rich man shall lie down, but he 
 shall not be gathered : he openeth his eyes, 
 and he is 13 no more. 
 
 20 "Terrors take hold on him as waters, 
 a tempest stealeth him away in the night. 
 
 21 The east wind carrieth him away, and 
 he departeth: and "like a storm hurleth 
 him out of his place. 
 
 22 For God shall cast upon him, and not 
 spare: the would ,5 gladly flee I6 from his 
 hand. 
 
 23 Men shall clap their hands at him, and

 CHAPTER XXVIII. 
 
 1 There is a knoivledge of natural things. 12 But 
 wisdom is an excellent gift of God. 
 
 SURELY there is ||a vein for the silver, 
 and a place for gold which they refine. 
 
 2 Iron is taken out of the Hearth, and 
 'copper is 2 melted out of the stone. 
 
 3 He setteth an end to darkness, and 
 searcheth out all extremities : the stories 
 of darkness, and the shadow of death. 
 
 4 ''He breaketh a channel far from the 
 dwelling of men ; not using their feet, they 
 hang down ; they hang down, far from men. 
 
 5 Jisfor the earth, out of it cometh bread : 
 and under it is turned up as it were fire. 
 
 6 The stones of it are the place of sap- 
 phires : and it hath ||dust of gold. 
 
 7 There is a path which no fowl knoweth, 
 and which the vulture's eye hath not seen: 
 
 8 The whelps of beasts of prey have not 
 trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed along it. 
 
 9 He putteth forth his hand on the ||rock; 
 he overturneth the mountains 5 from the 
 roots. 
 
 lOHecuttethoutstreamsthroughtherocks; 
 and his eye seeth every precious thing. 
 
 11 He bindeth the "streams tfrom over- 
 flowing ; and 'he bringeth forth die hidden 
 thing to light. 
 
 12 "But where shall wisdom be found? 
 
 379 
 
Job culleth to mind his former state, 
 
 and where is the place of understand- 
 ing? 
 
 13 Man knoweth not the 'price thereof ; 
 neither is it found in the land of the living. 
 
 14 c The "deep saith, It is not in me : and 
 the sea saith, It is not with me. 
 
 15 tit d cannot be gotten for gold, neither 
 shall silver be weighed for the price 
 thereof. 
 
 16 It cannot be "purchased with the gold 
 of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the 
 sapphire. 
 
 17 The gold and the crystal cannot equal 
 it : and the exchange of it shall not be for 
 || jewels of fine gold. 
 
 18 No mention shall be made of ||coral, 
 or of pearls : for the price of wisdom is 
 above 10 pearls. 
 
 19 The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal 
 it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold. 
 
 20 "Whence then cometh wisdom?. and 
 where is the place of understanding ? 
 
 21 Seeing it is hidden from the eyes of 
 all 'the' living, and kept close from the 
 fowls of the ||air. 
 
 22 ^Destruction and death say, We have 
 heard the fame "of it with our ears. 
 
 23 God understandeth the way thereof, 
 and he knoweth the place thereof. 
 
 24 For he looketh to the ends of the earth, 
 and f seeth under the whole heaven ; 
 
 25 A To make the weight for the winds ; 
 and he weigheth the waters by measure. 
 
 26 When be 'made 12 an ordinance for the 
 rain, and a way for the lightning of the 
 thunder ; 
 
 27 Then did he see it, and ||declare it; he 
 prepared it, yea, and searched it out. 
 
 28 And to man he said, Behold ft the fear 
 of the Lord that is wisdom ; and to depart 
 from evil is understanding. 
 
 CHAPTER XXIX. 
 
 Job bemoaneth himself of his former prosperity and 
 honour. 
 
 MOREOVER, Job tcontinued his para- 
 ble, and said, 
 
 2 Oh that I were "as in months past, as 
 in the days when God 'guarded me ; 
 
 3 'When his 2 lamp shone on my head, 
 and when by his light I walked through 
 darkness ; 
 
 4 As I was in the days of my youth, when 
 e the friendship of God was on my 4 tent ; 
 
 5 When the Almighty was yet with me, 
 when my children were about me ; 
 
 6 When d I washed my steps with butter, 
 and e fhe rock poured tme out rivers of oil ; 
 
 7 When I went out to the gate through 
 the city, when I prepared my seat in the 
 street ! 
 
 8 The young^ men saw me, and hid them- 
 selves : and the aged arose, and stood up. 
 
 9 The princes refrained ' from' talking, 
 and 'laid their hand on their mouth. 
 
 10 tThe nobles held their peace, and their 
 s tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth. 
 
 11 When the ear heard me, then it bless- 
 ed me ; and when the eye saw me, it gave 
 testimony to me : 
 
 12 Because *I delivered the poor that 
 cried, and the fatherless, and him who had 
 none to help him. 
 
 13 The blessing of him that was ready to 
 perish came upon me: and I caused the 
 widow's heart to sing for joy. 
 
 14 'I put on righteousness, and it clothed

 16 I was a father to the poor: and 'the 
 cause which I knew not I searched out. 
 
 17 And I broke m tthe jaws of the wicked, 
 and tplucked the 9 prey out of his teeth. 
 
 18 Then I said, "I shall die in my nest, 
 and I shall multiply my days as the sand. 
 
 19 "My root was fspread out 'by the wa- 
 ters, and the dew lay all night upon my 
 branch. 
 
 20 My glory was tfresh in me, and 'my 
 bow was trenewed in my hand. 
 
 21 To me men gave ear, and waited, and 
 kept silence 10 for my counsel. 
 
 22 After my words they spoke not again ; 
 and my speech dropped upon them. 
 
 23 And they waited for me as for the rain; 
 and they opened their mouth wide as for 
 the latter rain. 
 
 24 If I "smiled at them, they believed it 
 not ; and the light of my countenance they 
 cast not down. 
 
 25 I chose out their way, and sat chief, 
 and dwelt as a king in the army, as one 
 who comforteth the mourners. 
 
 CHAPTER XXX. 
 
 1 Job's honour is turned into extreme contempt. 15 
 His prosperity into calamity. 
 
 BUT now those who are tyounger than I 
 ' cm' 'deride me, whose fathers I 
 would have disdained to have Compared 
 with the dogs of my flock. 
 
 2 Yea, to which might the strength of their 
 hands profit me, in whom old age was pe- 
 rished? 
 
 3 3 By want and famine they were "ema- 
 ciated : fleeing into the 6 desert to gloomy 
 and desolate places. 
 
 4 Who cut up "purslain by the bushes, 
 and juniper-roots for their 'food. 
 
 5 They were driven forth from among 
 men, (they cried after them as after a thief;) 
 
 6 To dwell in the cliffs of the valleys, in 
 tcaves of the earth, and in 8 rocks. 
 
 7 Among the bushes they brayed ; under 
 the nettles they were gathered together. 
 
 8 They were children of fools, yea, child- 
 ren of tbase men : they were ^driven out 
 of the land.

 nied the God who is above. 
 
 29 r If I rejoiced at the destruction of him 
 who hated me, or lifted up myself when 
 evil found him:

 CHAPTER XXXI. 
 
 Job maketh a solemn protestation of his integrity in 
 several duties. 
 
 I MADE a covenant with mine "eyes; 
 why then 'could 1 2 gaz,e on a maid ? 
 
 2 For what 'portion of God is there from 
 above? and what inheritance of the Al- 
 mighty from on high ? 
 
 3 Is not destruction 3 for the wicked ? and 
 a strange punishment 'for the workers of 
 iniquity ? 
 
 4 c5 Did not he see my ways, and count 
 all my steps ? 
 
 5 If I have walked with falsehood, or if 
 my foot hath hasted to deceit ; 
 
 6 tLet me be weighed in 7 a just balance, 
 that God may know mine integrity. 
 
 7 If my step hath turned out of the way, 
 and ''my heart walked after mine eyes, and 
 if any 8 spot hath cleaved to my hands ; 
 
 8 Then 'let me sow, and let another eat; 
 yea, let my offspring be rooted out. 
 
 9 If my heart hath been 9 enticed by a 
 woman, or if I have laid wait at my neigh- 
 bour's door ; 
 
 10 Then let my wife grind ,0 for 'another, 
 and let others "know her. 
 
 11 For this is a heinous crime ; yea, g it is 
 an iniquity to be punished by the judges. 
 
 12 For it is a fire that consumeth to de- 
 struction, and would root out all mine in- 
 crease. 
 
 13 If I did despise the cause of my man- 
 servant or of my maid -servant, when they 
 contended with me ; 
 
 14 What then shall I do when ''God riseth 
 up ? and when he visiteth, what shall I an- 
 swer him ?

 CHAPTER XXXII. 
 
 1 Elihu is angry with Job and his three friends. 6 
 Because wisdom Cometh not from age, he excuseth 
 the boldness of his youth. 11 He reproveth them for 
 not satisfying of Job. 16 His zeal to speak. 
 
 SO these three men ceased tto answer 
 Job, because he teas "'-innocent in his 
 
 own 
 
 2 si°;ht. 
 
 381 
 
Elihii taketh upon him to speak. 
 
 2 Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu 
 the son of Barachel 'the Buzite, of the 'fa- 
 mily of Ram : against Job was his wrath 
 kindled, because he justified thimself ra- 
 ther than God. 
 
 3 Also against his three friends was his 
 wrath kindled, because they had found no 
 answer, and yet had condemned Job. 
 
 4 Now Elihu had twaited till Job had 
 spoken, because they were folder than he. 
 
 5 When Elihu saw that there was no an- 
 swer in the mouth of these three men, then 
 his wrath was kindled. 
 
 6 And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buz- 
 ite 5 spoke and said, I am tyoung, 'and ye 
 are very old; wherefore I was afraid, and 
 tdurst not shew you mine opinion. 
 
 7 I said, Days should speak, and multi- 
 tude of years should teach wisdom. 
 
 8 But 6 the spirit is in man : and d the in- 
 spiration of the Almighty giveth them un- 
 derstanding. 
 
 9 'Great men are not always wise ; nei- 
 ther do the aged understand 'equity. 
 
 10 Therefore I ^ay, Hearken to me ; I 
 also will shew mine opinion. 
 
 11 Behold, I waited for your words; I 
 gave ear to your treasons, whilst ye search- 
 ed out twhat to say. 
 
 12 Yea, I attended to you, and behold, 
 there was 9 no one of you who '"refuted Job, 
 or who answered his words : 
 
 13 /u Do not say then, We have found out 
 wisdom : God ^subdueth him, not man. 
 
 14 Now he hath not ||directed his words 
 against me : neither will I answer him with 
 your speeches. 
 
 15 They were amazed, they answered no 
 more : tthey left off speaking. 
 
 16 When I had waited, (for they spoke 
 not, but stood still, and answered no more ;) 
 
 17 / said, I will answer also my part, I 
 also will shew mine opinion. 
 
 18 For I am full of 13 words, tthe spirit 
 within me constraineth me. 
 
 19 Behold, my belly is as wine ivhich 
 thath no vent; it is ready to burst like 
 new bottles. 
 
 20 I will speak, tthat I may '" breathe 
 freely : I will open my lips and answer. 
 
 21 Let me not, I pray you, ^accept any 
 man's person, neither let me 16 flatter man. 
 
 22 For I know not K how to flatter ; lest 
 my Maker "should soon take me away. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXIII. 
 
 1 Elihu offereth himself instead of God, with since- 
 rity and meekness, to reason with Job. 8 He ex- 
 cuseth God from giving man an account of his 
 ways, by his greatness. M God calleth man to re- 
 pentance by visions, 19 by afflictions, 23 and by 
 his ministry. 31 He inciteth Job to attention. 
 
 WHEREFORE, Job, I pray thee, hear 
 my speeches, and hearken to all my 
 words. 
 
 2 Behold, now I 'open my mouth, my 
 tongue 2 speaketh tin my mouth. 
 
 3 My words shall be 3 from the upright- 
 ness of my heart : and my lips shall utter 
 4 an opinion clearly. 
 
 4 "The Spirit of God hath made me, and 
 the breath of the Almighty hath given me 
 life. 
 
 5 If thou canst, answer me, set thy ivords 
 in-order before me, stand up. 
 
 6 *Behold, 1 am taccoriling to thy wish in 
 God's stead ; 1 also am t formed 5 of 6 clay.

 9 d l am clean without transgression, I am 
 8 pure ; neither is there iniquity in me.

 11 'He putteth my feet in the stocks, he 
 Vatcheth all my paths. 
 
 12 Behold, in this thou art not just: I 
 will answer thee, that God is greater than

 13 Why dost thou ^strive against him? 
 for the giveth no account of any of his 
 matters. 
 
 14 "For God speaketh once, yea twice, 
 10 but man perceiveth it not. 
 
 15 'In a dream, in a vision of the night, 
 when deep sleep falleth on men, in slum- 
 berings on the bed ; 
 
 16 *Then the openeth the ears of men, 
 and sealeth their "admonition, 
 
 17 That he may withdraw man from his 
 tpurpose, and hide pride from man. 
 
 18 He keepeth 12 him back from the pit, and 
 his life tfrom perishing by the 13 weapon. 
 
 19 He is chastened also with pain upon 
 his bed, and the multitude of his bones 
 with strong pain : 
 
 20 'So that his life abhorreth 14 food, and 
 his soul tdainty meat. 
 
 21 His flesh is consumed away, 'so' that 
 it cannot be seen; and his bones which 
 were not seen, 15 are naked. 
 
 22 Yea, 16 he draweth near to the "pit, and 
 his life to the destroyers. 
 
 23 If there be a messenger with him, an 
 interpreter, one among a thousand, to' shew 
 to man his 18 duty: 
 
 24 Then he is ]9 compassionate to him, and 
 saith. Deliver him from going down to the 
 pit: I have found ||a ransom. 
 
 25 His flesh shall be fresher tthan a child's : 
 he shall return to the days of his youth : 
 
 26 He shall pray to God, and he will be 
 favourable to him: and he shall see his 
 face with joy : for he will render to man 
 his righteousness. 
 
 27 20 He shall sing before men, and ""say, 
 I have sinned, and perverted that which 
 was right, and 2, he "hath not requited me ; 
 
 28 He ^hath "delivered me from going 
 into the pit, and ^my life shall see the

 29 Lo, all these things worketh God 
 toftentimes with man, 
 
 30 'To bring 24 him back from the pit, to 
 be enlightened with the light of the living.

 God omnipotent cannot be unjust. CHAPTERS XXXV. XXXVI. Man's goodness prqfiteth not God 
 
 have borne chastisement, I will not offend 
 any more : 
 
 32 That which I see not, teach thou me : 
 if I have done iniquity, I will do no more. 
 
 33 t Should it be according to thy mind ? 
 he will recompense it, whether thou refuse, 
 or whether thou choose ; and not I : there- 
 fore speak what thou knowest. 
 
 34 Let men tof understanding tell me, 
 and let a wise man hearken to me. 
 
 35 c Job hath spoken without knowledge, 
 and his words were without wisdom. 
 
 36 ||My desire is that Job may be tried 
 ' 8 fully, because of his answers 19 concern- 
 ing wicked men. 
 
 37 For he addeth rebellion to his sin, he 
 clappeth his hands among us, and multi- 
 plieth his words against God. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXV. 
 
 1 Comparison is not to be made with God, because 
 our good or evil cannot extend to him. 9 Many 
 cry in their afflictions, but are not heard for want 
 of faith. 
 
 3 "For the ear trieth words, as the tmouth 
 tasteth meat. 
 
 4 Let us ^examine equity for ourselves : 
 let us know among ourselves what is good. 
 
 5 For Job hath said J I am 'innocent: and 
 'God hath taken away my 4 right. 
 
 6 ^Should I lie against my right? tmy 
 wound is incurable without transgression. 
 
 7 What man is like Job, 'who drinketh 
 up scorning like water ; 
 
 8 Who goeth in company with the work- 
 ers of iniquity, and walketh with wicked 
 men. 
 
 9 For f he hath said, It profiteth a man 
 nothing that he should delight himself with 
 God. 
 
 10 Therefore hearken to me, ye tmen of 
 understanding : ffar be it from God, that 
 he should do wickedness; and from the 
 Almighty, that he should commit iniquity. 
 
 11 "For the work of a man will he render 
 to him, and cause every man to find accord- 
 ing to his ways. 
 
 12 Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, 
 neither will the Almighty 'pervert 5 right. 
 
 13 Who hath given him a charge over 
 the earth? or wno hath "established tthe 
 whole world ? 
 
 14 If he set his heart fagainst man, if he 
 'gather to himself his spirit and his breath ; 
 
 15 'All flesh will perisli together, and man 
 will turn again to dust. 
 
 16 If now thou hast understanding, hear 
 this : hearken to the voice of my words. 
 
 17 ""Shall even he who hateth right t go- 
 vern? and wilt thou condemn *the Just 
 and Mighty One ? 
 
 18 n Is it fit to say to a king, Thou art 
 wicked ? and to princes, Ye are 'unjust? 
 
 19 How much less to him that "accepteth 
 not the persons of princes, nor regardeth 
 the rich more than the poor ? for p they all 
 are the work of his hands. 
 
 20 In a moment shall they die, and the 
 people shall be '"moved s at midnight, and 
 pass away: and tthe mighty shall be taken 
 away without hand. 
 
 21 r For his eyes are on the ways of man, 
 and he seeth all his goings. 
 
 22 'There is no darkness, nor shadow of 
 death, where the workers of iniquity may 
 hide themselves. 
 
 23 For he will not lay on man more than 
 right; "to bring him into judgment with 
 God. 
 
 24 ' He shall break in pieces mighty men 
 twithout ^inquiry, and set others in their 
 stead. 
 
 25 13 Because he knoweth their works, and 
 he overturneth them in the night, 14 and they 
 are tdestroyed. 
 
 26 He striketh them as wicked men tin 
 the open sight of others ; 
 
 27 Because they "turned back tfrom him, 
 and *would not consider any of his ways : 
 
 28 So that they y caused the cry of the poor 
 to come to him, ,6 for he r heareth the cry of 
 the afflicted. 
 
 29 When he giveth quietness, who then 
 can make trouble ? and when he hideth 
 his face, who then can behold him? whe- 
 ther it be done against a nation, or against 
 a man only : 
 
 30 That the I6 impious reign not, lest "the 
 people be ensnared,

 thou saidst, My righteousness is more than 
 God's ? 
 
 3 For °thou saidst, W T hat advantage will 
 it be to thee ? and, What profit shall I have 
 l more than by sinning ? 
 
 4 1 1 will answer thee, and thy compa- 
 nions with thee. 
 
 5 c Look to the heavens, and see ; and be- 
 hold the clouds which are higher than thou 
 ' art' 
 
 6 If thou sinnest, what doest thou ''against 
 him ? or if 'thy transgressions be multiplied, 
 what doest thou to him ? 
 
 7 £ If thou be righteous, what givest thou 
 him ? or what receiveth he 2 from thy hand ? 
 
 8 Thy wickedness may hurt a man as 
 thou art : and thy righteousness may profit 
 the son of man. 
 
 9 '"By reason of the multitude of oppres- 
 sions they make the oppressed to cry : they 
 cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty. 
 
 10 But none saith, *Where is God my 
 maker, a who giveth songs in Affliction ; 
 
 11 Who 'teacheth us more than the beasts 
 of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the 
 fowls of heaven? 
 
 12 'There they cry, but none giveth an- 
 swer, because of the pride of evil men. 
 
 13 'Surely God will not hear vanity, nei- 
 ther will the Almighty regard it. 
 
 14 m4 Much less it thou sayest thou shalt 
 not see him, yet judgment is before him ; 
 therefore n5 wait thou 6 for him. 
 
 15 But now, because it is not so, ||he hath 
 "visited in his anger ; yet ||he knoweth it 
 not in great transgression : 
 
 16 ^Therefore doth Job open his mouth 
 in vain; he multiplieth words without 
 knowledge. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXVI. 
 
 1 Elihu sheweth how God is just in his ways. 16 
 How Job's sins hinder God's blessings. 24 God's 
 works are to be magnified. 
 
 ELIHU also proceeded and said, 
 2 'Bear with me a little, and I will 
 shew thee tthat / have yet to speak on 
 God's behalf. 
 
 3 I will 2 bring my knowledge from afar, 
 and will ascribe righteousness to myMaker. 
 
 4 For truly my words shall not be false : 
 he that is 3 sound in knowledge is with thee- 
 
 383 
 
God is just in all his ways. 
 
 5 Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth 
 not any: a he is mighty in strength and 
 t 4 understanding. 
 
 6 He preserveth not the life of the wick 
 ed : but giveth right to the Upoor. 
 
 7 'He withdraweth not his eyes from the 
 righteous : but 'with kings are they on the 
 throne; yea, he doth establish them for 
 ever, and they are exalted. 
 
 8 And d if they be bound in fetters, and 
 be holden in cords of affliction ; 
 
 9 Then he sheweth them their work, and 
 their transgressions that they have 5 acted 
 
 10 'He openeth also their ear to Admoni- 
 tion, and commandeth that they return 
 from iniquity. 
 
 11 If they obey and serve him, they shall 
 f spend their days in prosperity, and their 
 years in pleasures. 
 
 12 But if they obey not, tthey shall perish 
 by the 'weapon, and they shall die without 
 knowledge. 
 
 13 But the hypocrites in heart «heap up 
 wrath : they cry not when he bindeth them. 
 
 14 "tThey die in youth, and their life is 
 among the ||unclean. 
 
 15 He delivereth the 8 afflicted in his 
 Mistress, and openeth their ears in oppres- 
 sion. 
 
 16 Even so would he have removed thee 
 out of the strait 'into a broad place, where 
 there is no '"distress; andt s "the food of 
 thy table should be full of 'fatness. 
 
 17 But thou hast fulfilled the judgment 
 of the wicked; |] judgment and ^punish- 
 ment follow each other. 
 
 18 Because there is wrath, beware lest he 
 take thee away with his stroke : then m a 
 great ransom cannot tdeliver thee. 
 
 19 "Will he esteem thy riches ? no, not 
 gold, nor all the ''abundance of '"wealth. 
 
 20 Desire not the night, when people are 
 "taken away from their place. 
 
 21 Take heed, "regard not iniquity: for 
 'this hast thou chosen rather than affliction. 
 
 22 Behold, God !6 is exalted by his power: 
 'who teacheth like him ? 
 
 23 'Who hath enjoined him his way ? or 
 'who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity ? 
 
 24 Remember that thou 'magnify his 
 work, which men "praise with songs. 
 
 25 Every man may see it ; man may be- 
 hold it afar off. 
 
 26 Behold, God is great, and we "know 
 him not, Neither can the number of his 
 years be searched out. 
 
 27 For he s "draweth up the d rops of water : 
 they pour down rain ,9 from his vapour 20 ; 
 
 28 r Which the clouds do drop and distil 
 on man abundantly. 
 
 29 21 Can any understand ' even' the spread- 
 ing^ of the clouds, or the noise of his ^pa- 
 vilion ? 
 
 30 Behold, he "spreadeth his light on it, 
 and covereth tthe bottom of the sea. 
 
 31 For 'by them judgeth he the people ; 
 he c giveth ^food in abundance. 
 
 32 d24 He covereth his hands with light- 
 ning ; and commandeth it against an ene- 
 my. 
 
 33 'The noise thereof sheweth concerning 
 it, the cattle also concerning tthe vapour. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXVII. 
 
 1 God is to be feared because of his great works. 15 
 His wisdom is unsearchable in them. 
 384 
 
 JOB. God is terrible in his great works. 
 
 = t n 5 d /! t. A T this also my heart trembleth, and is 
 r -ft- moved out of its place. 
 
 2 tHear attentively the noise of his voice, 
 and the sound that goeth out of his mouth. 
 
 3 He directethit under the whole heaven, 
 and his tlightning to the tends of the earth. 
 
 4 After it °a voice roareth ; he thundereth 
 with the voice of his 'majesty : and he will 
 not stay them when his voice is heard. 
 
 5 God thundereth 2 terribly with his voice; 
 J great things doeth he, which we cannot 
 comprehend. 
 
 6 For 'he saith to the snow, Be thou on 
 the earth ; tlikewise to the 3 showers of rain ; 
 even to the showers of his mighty rain. 
 
 7 He sealeth up the hand of every man ; 
 d that all men may know his work. 
 
 8 Then the beasts c go into ' their' dens, 
 and remain in their 4 caverns. 
 
 9 tOut of the south cometh the whirl- 
 wind : and cold out of the tnorth. 
 
 10 -^By the breath of God 5 ice is formed : 
 and the breadth of the waters is 6 narrowed. 
 
 11 Also Tie casteth down the thick cloud 
 in rain ; he scattereth the cloud with his 
 lightning : 
 
 12 And it is turned 8 around by his coun- 
 sels : that they may f do whatever he com- 
 mandeth them on the face of the world in 
 the earth. 
 
 13 *He causeth it to come, whether for 
 tcorrection, or 'for his land, or 'for 'kind- 
 ness. 
 
 14 Hearken to this, O Job: stand still, 
 and 'consider the wondrous works of God. 
 
 15 Dost thou know when God disposed 
 them, and caused the '"lightning of his 
 cloud to shine ? 
 
 16 ""Dost thou know the balancings of the 
 clouds, the wondrous works of "him who 
 is perfect in knowledge ? 
 
 17 How thy garments are warm, when he 
 quieteth the earth by the south wind? 
 
 18 Hast thou with him "spread out the sky, 
 which is strong, and as a molten "mirror ? 
 
 1 9 Teach us what we shall say to him ; 
 for we cannot order our speech by reason 
 of darkness. 
 
 20 Shall it be told him that I speak ? if a 
 man speak, surely he will be swallowed up. 
 
 21 And now men see not the bright light 
 which is 12 among the clouds : but the wind 
 passeth, and cleanseth them. 
 
 22 IFair weather cometh out of the north : 
 with God is terrible majesty. 
 
 23 ,s The Almighty ! p we cannot find him 
 out : q he is excellent in power, and in judg- 
 ment, and "great in righteousness : he will 
 not "oppress. 
 
 24 Men do therefore r fear him : he respect- 
 eth not any who are 'wise of heart. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXVIII. 
 
 1 God challengeth Job to answer. 4 God, by his 
 mighty works, convinceth Job of ignorance, 31 
 and of imbecility. 
 
 THEN Jehovah answered Job "from the

 when it 6 burst forth, as if it had issued 
 'from the womb ? 
 
 9 When I made the cloud the garment 
 thereof, and thick darkness a swaddling 
 band for it, 
 
 10 And * "appointed my bounds for it, and 
 set bars and doors, 
 
 11 And said, 9 Thus far shalt thou come,

 12 Hast thou Commanded the morning 
 10 in thy days ; and caused the day-spring 
 to know its place ; ' 
 
 13 That it "should seize the tends of the

 22 Hast thou entered 2J "the treasures of

 of the hail, 
 
 23 'Which I have reserved 25 for the time 
 of trouble, 26 for the day of battle and

 25 Who 'hath divided a watercourse for

 1 Of the wild goats and hinds. 5 Of the wild ass. 
 9 The ' buffalo. 13 The *■ stork, and ostrich. 19 
 The horse. 26 The hawk. 27 The eagle. 
 
 KNOWEST thou the time when the 
 wild goats of the rock bring forth ? or 
 canst thou mark 3 the travail of "the hinds ? 
 
 2 Canst thou number the months that 
 they fulfil ? or knowest thou the time 
 when they bring forth ? 
 
 3 They bow themselves, they bring forth 
 their young ones, they cast 4 forth their 
 sorrows. 
 
 4 Their young ones are "strong, they grow 
 up 6 in the fields; they go forth, and return 
 not to themi 
 
 5 Who hath sent out the wild ass free ? 
 or who hath loosed the bands of the wild 
 ass? 
 
 6 'Whose house I have made the 7 waste, 
 and the tbarren land his dwellings. 
 
 7 He scorneth the multitude of the city, 
 neither regardeth he the crying tof the 
 driver. 
 
 8 The range of the mountains is his pas- 
 ture, and he searcheth after every green 
 thing. 
 
 9 Will the cS buffalo be willing to serve 
 thee, or 9 lodge by thy crib ? 
 
 10 Canst thou bind the 10 buffalo with his 
 "cords in the furrow? or will he harrow 
 the valleys after thee ? 
 
 11 Wilt thou trust him, because his 
 strength is great ? or wilt thou leave thy 
 labour to him ? 
 
 12 Wilt thou I2 trust to him, that he will 
 bring home thy seed, and gather it into thy 
 "threshing-floor. 
 
 13 14 The wing of the ostriches moveth 
 swiftly: hath she not the wings and fea- 
 thers of the stork ? 
 
 14 15 She leaveth her eggs in the earth, 
 and warmeth them in the dust, 
 
 15 And forgetteth that the foot may crush 
 them, or that the wild beast may break 
 them. 
 
 16 She is d hardened against her young 
 ones, as though they were not hers: her 
 labour is in vain without fear ; 
 
 17 Because God hath deprived her of 
 wisdom, neither hath he 'imparted to her 
 understanding. 
 
 385 
 
Job humbleth himself. 
 
 18 I6 When she lifteth up herself on high, 
 she scorneth the horse and his rider. 
 
 19 Hast thou given the horse strength? 
 hast tht>u clothed his neck with "a waving 
 mane ? 
 
 20 Canst thou make him "skip like a 
 "locust ? the glory of his nostrils Ms ter- 
 rible. 
 
 21 ||He paweth in the valley, and rejoic- 
 eth in his strength : f he goeth on to meet 
 the farmed men. 
 
 22 He mocketh at 20 terror, and is not af- 
 frighted ; neither turneth he back from the 
 sword. 
 
 23 The quiver rattleth against him, the 
 glittering spear and the 21 javelins. 
 
 24 He swalloweth the ground with 
 ^prancing and rage ; neither believeth he 
 that it is the sound of the trumpet. 
 
 25 He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha ! 
 and he smelleth the battle afar off, the 
 thunder of the captains, and the shouting. 
 
 26 Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom, and 
 stretch 23 his wings towards the south? 
 
 27 Doth the eagle mount up tat thy com- 
 mand, and ? make 24 his nest on high ? 
 
 28 25 He dwelleth and 26 lodgeth on the 
 rock, on the crag of the rock, and 'on' 
 the 27 mountain-chffV 
 
 29 From thence 23 he spieth the prey, and 
 Z9 his eyes behold afar off. 
 
 30 30 His young also suck up blood : and 
 "where the slain are, there is 3, he. 
 
 CHAPTER XL. 
 
 1 Job humbleth himself to God. 6 God stirreth him 
 up to shew his righteousness, power, and wisdom. 
 15 Of the riverhorse. 
 
 MOREOVER, Jehovah answered Job, 
 and said, 
 
 2 >Will he that "contendeth with the Al- 
 mighty instruct him? 2 will he who reprov- 
 eth God answer ? 
 
 3 % Then Job answered Jehovah, and said, 
 
 4 'Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer 
 thee? C I will lay my hand on my mouth. 
 
 5 Once have I spoken ; but I will not 
 answer: yea, twice; but 1 will proceed 
 no further. 
 
 6 1f ''Then answered Jehovah to Job 
 3 from the whirlwind, and said, 
 
 7 e Gird up thy loins now like a man: f\ 
 will 4 ask thee, and 5 answer thou 6 me. 
 
 8 ff Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? 
 wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest 
 be 'innocent ? 
 
 9 Hast thou an arm like God? or canst 
 thou thunder with h & voice like him ? 
 
 10 "Deck thyself now with 8 grandeur and 
 9 majesty ; and array thyself with glory and 
 beauty. 
 
 11 Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath : and 
 behold every one who is proud, and abase 
 him. 
 
 12 Look on every one that is *proud, and 
 bring him low; and tread down the wick- 
 ed in their place. 
 
 13 Hide them in the dust together; and 
 bind their faces in secret. 
 
 14 Then will I also confess to thee that 
 thine own right hand can save thee. 
 
 15 U Behold now || ,0 the river-horse, which 
 I made with thee ; he eateth grass u like an ox. 
 
 16 Lo now, his strength is in his loins, 
 and his force is in the 12 muscles of his belly. 
 
 17 |]He moveth his tail like a cedar; the 
 sinews of his 13 thighs are w woven together.

 20 Surely the mountains 'bring him forth 
 food, where all the beasts of the field play. 
 
 21 He lieth under the shady trees, in the 
 covert of the reed, and fens, 
 
 22 The shady trees cover him with their 
 shadow; the willows of the brook encom- 
 pass him about. 
 
 23 Behold, "the river swelleth, hut he 
 fleeth not: he is secure though Jordan 
 burst forth at his mouth.

 pierceth through snares. 
 
 CHAPTER XLI. 
 
 Of God's great power in the crockodile. 
 
 CANST thou draw out || a, the crocodile 
 with a hook ? or 2 press down his tongue 
 with a cord ? 
 
 2 Canst thou 'put a 3 rope into his nose ? 
 or bore his jaw through with a 4 hook ? 
 
 3 Will he make many supplications to 
 thee? will he speak soft words to thee? 
 
 4 Will he make a covenant with thee ? 
 wilt thou take him for a servant for ever ? 
 
 5 Wilt thou play with Mm as with a bird ? 
 or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens ? 
 
 6 Shall thy companions 5 lay a snare for 
 him ? shall they 6 divide him among the 
 merchants ? 
 
 7 Canst thou fill his skin with barbed 
 irons ? or his head with fish-spears ? 
 
 8 Lay thy hand on him, remember the 
 battle, do no more. 
 
 9 Behold, 8 his hope is in vain : 9 will not 
 one be cast down even at the sight of him ? 
 
 10 10 No one is so fierce that 'he' dare stir 
 him up : who then is able to stand before 
 me? 
 
 11 c Who hath "done me a kindness, that 
 I should repay him? d whatever is under 
 the whole heaven is mine. 
 
 12 I will not conceal his parts, nor his 
 power, nor his comely 12 armour. 
 
 13 Who can "uncover the face of his 
 garment? or who can come to u his double 
 row of teeth ? 
 
 14 Who can open the doors of his face ? 
 his teeth are terrible round about. 
 
 15 His tscales are his pride, shut up to- 
 gether as with a close seal. 
 
 16 One is so "joined to another, that no 
 air can come between them. 
 
 17 They "cleave one to another, they stick 
 together, "and they cannot be""separated. 
 
 18 By his sneezings a light doth shine, 
 and his eyes are like the eyelids of the 
 morning. 
 
 19 Out of his mouth go burning "torches, 
 sparks of fire leap out. 
 
 20 Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as 
 out of a 20 boiling pot or caldron. 
 
 21 His breath kindleth coals, and a flame 
 goeth out of his mouth._ 
 
 22 In his neck remaineth strength, and 
 21 terror danceth before him. 
 
 23 tThe flakes of his flesh are joined to- 
 gether: they are firm w on him; they can- 
 not be moved. 
 
 24 His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as 
 hard as a piece of the nether millstone. 
 
 25 When he raisethup himself, the mighty 
 
God accepteth Job, m 
 
 are afraid : by reason of 23 the billows they 
 M lose themselves. 
 
 26 The sword of him ^who attacketh him 
 cannot hold : the spear, the dart, nor the 
 ^coat of mail. 
 
 27 He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass 
 as rotten wood. 
 
 28 The arrow cannot make him flee : sling- 
 stones are turned with him into stubble. 
 
 29 27 Clubs are 2S regarded as stubble: he 
 laugheth at the shaking of a 29 javelin. 
 
 30 Sharp ^potsherds are under him: he 
 spreadeth 3I a threshing-sledge on the mire. 
 
 31 He maketh the deep to boil like a 
 32 caldron : he maketh the sea like a pot of 
 ointment? 
 
 32 He maketh a path to shine after him ; 
 one would think the deep to be hoary. 
 
 33 On earth there is not his like, ||who is 
 made without fear. 
 
 34 He beholdeth all high things: he is a 
 king over all the children of pride. 
 
 CHAPTER XLII. 
 
 1 Job submitteth himself to God, 7 God, preferring 
 Job's cause, maketh his friends submit themselves, 
 and accepteth him. 10 He magnifieth and blesseth 
 Job. 16 Job's age and death. 
 
 THEN Job answered the Lord, and said, 
 2 I know that thou "canst do every 
 thing, and that no 'purpose of thine can be 
 hindered. 
 
 3 *Who is he that hideth counsel with- 
 out knowledge ? therefore have I uttered 
 that I understood not ; things too wonder- 
 ful for me, which I knew not. 
 
 4 Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak : 
 ^I will 2 ask of thee, and declare thou to me. 
 
 5 I have heard of thee by the hearing of 
 the ear : but now mine eye seeth thee : 
 
 _ 6 Wherefore I 'abhor myself, and repent 
 in dust and ashes. 
 
 7 IT And it 3 came to pass, that after Je- 
 hovah had spoken these words to Job, the 
 Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My 
 wrath is kindled against thee, and against

 thy two friends : for ye have not spoken 
 of me 4 right, s like my servant Job 6 . 
 
 8 Therefore take Tor you now^seven bull- 
 ocks and seven rams, and *go to my ser- 
 vant Job, and offer up for yourselves a 
 burnt-offering; and my servant Job shall 
 *pray for you : for thim will I accept : lest 
 Ideal with you % according to your folly, 
 9 for ye have not spoken of me 10 right, like 
 my servant Job. 
 
 9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad 
 the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite 
 went, and did n as Jehovah commanded 
 them : Jehovah also accepted tJob. 
 
 10 *And Jehovah turned the captivity of 
 Job, when he ' had' prayed for his friends : 
 also Jehovah tgave Job Hwice as much as 
 he had before. 
 
 11 Then came I2 to him 'all his brethren, 
 and all his sisters, and all 13 of his ' former' 
 acquaintance 14 , and did eat bread with him 
 in his house: and they bemoaned him, 
 and comforted him over all the evil that 
 Jehovah had brought on him : 15 each man 
 also gave him a piece of money, and 16 each 
 one "a ring of gold. 
 
 12 So Jehovah blessed m the latter end of 
 Job more than his beginning: for he had 
 "fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand 
 camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and 
 a thousand she-asses. 
 
 13 "He had also seven sons, and three 
 daughters. 
 
 14 And he called the name of the first, Je- 
 mima; and the name of the second, Kezia; 
 and the name of the third, Keren-happuch. 
 
 15 And in all the land were no women 
 found so fair as the daughters of Job : and 
 their father gave them inheritance among 
 their brethren. 
 
 16 After this ? lived Job a hundred and 
 forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' 
 sons, even four generations. 
 
 17 18 Then Job died, being old and 'full 
 of days.

 1 The happiness of the godly. 4 The unhappiness of 
 the ungodly. 
 
 'TTAPPY "is the man who walketh not 
 -*-J- in the counsel of the 2 wicked, nor 
 standeth in the way of sinners, *nor sitteth 
 in the seat of 3 scoft'ers. 
 
 2 But 'his delight is in the law of Jeho- 
 vah; ''and in his law doth he meditate day 
 and night. 
 
 3 And he shall be like a tree e planted by 
 the 6 streams of water, that bringeth forth 
 its fruit in its season ; its leaf also shall 
 not 6 fade ; and whatever he 7 doeth shall 
 ^prosper. 
 
 4 The wicked are not so: but are 4ike 
 the chaff which the wind driveth away. 
 
 1 5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand 
 in the judgment, nor sinners in the con- 
 gregation of the righteous. 
 6 For 'Jehovah 8 approveth the way of the 
 righteous : but the way of the wicked shall 
 perish.

 WHY "do the heathen || rage, and the 
 people timagine a vain thing ? 
 
 2 The kings of the earth 'array themselves, 
 and the 2 princes take counsel together, 
 against Jehovah, and against his 'Anoint- 
 ed, saying, 
 
 3 'Let us break their bands asunder, and 
 cast away their cords from us. 
 
 4 d IIe that sitteth in the heavens 'shall 
 laugh : Jehovah 3 will deride them. 
 
 5 Then will he speak to them in Ms 
 wrath, and 4 trouble them in his 5 fury. 
 
 6 Yet have I tset my King t-^upon my 
 holy 'mountain, Zion. 
 
 7 I will declare || the decree: Jehovah 
 hath said to me, s Thou art my Son ; this 
 day have I begotten thee. 
 
 8 A Ask of me, and I will give thee the 
 heathen for thine inheritance, and the ut- 
 termost parts of the earth for thy posses- 
 sion. 
 
 9 * Thou shalt break them with a 'sceptre 
 of iron ; thou shalt dash them in pieces 
 like a potter's vessel. 
 
 10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings : 
 be 8 admonished, ye judges of the earth.

 PSALM III. 
 The security of God's protection. 
 
 IT A Psalm of David, *when he fled from 
 Absalom his son. 
 
 O JEHOVAH, °how are they increased 
 that trouble me ? many are those who 
 rise up against me. 
 
 2 Many there are who say l concerning 
 me, * There is no help for him in God. 
 Selah. 
 
 3 But thou, O Jehovah, art c a 2 buckler 
 ||for me; my glory, and ''the lifter up of 
 my head. 
 
 4 I cried to Jehovah with my voice, and 
 e he heard me 3 from his 'holy 4 mountain. 
 Selah. 
 
 5 g I 6 lay down and slept; I awoke; for 
 Jehovah sustained me. 
 
 6 A I will not be afraid of ten thousands 
 of people, who have set themselves against 
 me 6 around. 
 
 7 Arise, Jehovah ; save me, my God ; 
 'for thou hast smitten all mine enemies on 
 the 7 cheek ; thou hast broken the teeth of 
 the ungodly. 
 
 8 "Salvation belongeth to Jehovah: thy 
 blessing is on thy people. Selah. 
 
 PSALM IV. 
 
 1 David prayeth for audience. 2 He reproveth and 
 exhorteth his enemies. 6 Man's happiness is in 
 God's favour. 
 
 IT To the || chief Musician on Neginoth, 
 A Psalm of David. 
 
 HEAR me when I call, '0 my righteous 
 God : thou hast enlarged me when I 
 was in distress; 2 pity me, and hear my 
 prayer. 
 
 2 ye sons of men, how long will ye turn 
 my glory into shame ? how long will ye 
 love vanity, and seek after 3 falsehood? 
 Selah. 
 
 3 But know that "Jehovah hath set apart 
 him that is godly for himself: Jehovah 
 will hear when I call to him. 
 
 4 l4 Tremble, and sin not: c5 meditate in 
 your own heart upon your bed, and be 
 6 silent. Selah. 
 
 5 Offer d the sacrifices of righteousness, 
 and 7 'trust in Jehovah. 
 
 6 8 Many say. Who will shew us any good ? 
 '0 Jehovah, lift thou 9 the light of thy coun- 
 tenance upon us. 
 
 7 Thou hast put ^gladness in my heart, 
 more than in the time when their corn and 
 their 'new' wine increased. 
 
 8 h I will both I0 lie down in peace, and 
 sleep: 'for thou, Jehovah, "alone makest 
 me dwell in safety.

 1 David prayeth, and professeth his study in prayer. 
 4 Godfavoureth not the wicked. 7 David, profess- 
 ing his faith, prayeth to God to guide him, 10 to 
 destroy his enemies, 1 1 and to preserve the godly. 
 
 If To the chief Musician on Nehiloth, 
 A Psalm of David.

 David's complaint in sickness 
 
 3 c My voice shalt thou hear in the morn 
 ing, O Jehovah ; in the morning will I di- 
 rect my prayer to thee, and will look up. 
 
 4 For thou art not a God that hath plea- 
 sure in wickedness: neither shall evil 
 dwell with thee. 
 
 5 d The foolish shall not stand tin thy 
 sight : thou hatest all workers of iniquity. 
 
 6 'Thou wilt destroy those who speak 
 falsehood : 'Jehovah will abhor tthe bloody 
 and deceitful man. 
 
 7 But as for me, I will come into thy 
 house in the 3 abundance of thy 4 kindness : 
 and in thy fear will I worship ^towards 
 tthy holy temple. 
 
 8 "Lead me, O Jehovah, in thy righteous- 
 ness, because of 5 those who watch me; 
 'make thy way straight before my face. 
 
 9 For there is no Insincerity tin their 
 mouth; their inward part is 7 twickedness; 
 ft their throat is an open sepulchre; 'they- 
 flatter with their tongue. 
 
 10 UDestroy thou them, O God ; m let them 
 fall ||by their own counsels ; cast them out 
 in the multitude of their transgressions; 
 for they have rebelled against thee. 
 
 11 But let all those 6 vvho trust in thee 
 "rejoice : let them ever shout for joy, be- 
 cause tthou defendest them : let them also 
 who love thy name be joyful in thee. 
 
 12 For thou, Jehovah, "wilt bless the 
 righteous ; with favour wilt thou t 9 protect 
 him as with a shield.

 O" Jehovah, rebuke me not in thine 
 anger, neither chasten me in thy hot 
 displeasure. 
 
 2 b 'Pity me, O Jehovah ; for I am weak : 
 
 Jehovah, c heal me: for my bones are 
 2 pained. 
 
 3 My soul is also 3 greatly pained: but 
 thou, O Jehovah, ''how long? 
 
 4 Return, O Lord, deliver my soul : Oh 
 save me for thy 4 kindness' sake ! 
 
 5 "For in death there is no remembrance 
 of thee : in the 5 grave who shall give thee 
 thanks ? 
 
 6 I am weary with my groaning ; ||all the 
 night make I my bed to swim ; I water my 
 couch with my tears. 
 
 7 /6 My countenance is wasted because 
 of grief; it 'becometh old because of all 
 mine enemies. 
 
 8 ^Depart from me, all ye workers of 
 iniquity; for Jehovah hath ''heard the 
 voice of my weeping. 
 
 9 Jehovah hath heard my supplication ; 
 Jehovah will receive my prayer. 
 
 10 Let all mine enemies be ashamed and 
 'greatly confounded : let them return and

 PSALM VII.

 Tf *Shiggaion of David, which he sang to

 2 pursue me, and deliver me: 
 2 'Lest he tear 3 me like a lion, 'rending 
 

 God's great love to num. 
 
 *me in pieces, while there is tno one to de-

 3 Jehovah my God, d if I have done 
 this ; if there be "iniquity in my hands ; 
 
 4 If I have rewarded evil to him that was 
 at peace with me ; (yea, 'I have delivered 
 him that without cause is mine enemy :) 
 
 5 Let the enemy 6 pursue me, and Over- 
 take me; yea, let him tread down my life 
 upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the 
 dust. Selah. 
 
 6 Arise, O Jehovah, in thine anger, ff lift 
 up thyself because of the rage of mine ene- 
 mies: and ''awake for me to the judgment 
 which thou hast commanded. 
 
 7 So shall the congregation of the people 
 7 encompass thee around : for their sakes 
 therefore return thou on high. 
 
 8 Jehovah shall 8 punish the people: judge 
 me, O Jehovah, 'according to 9 mine inno- 
 cence, and according to mine integrity 
 that is in me. 
 
 9 let the wickedness of the wicked come 
 to an end ;but establish the just: for the 
 righteous God trieth the hearts and reins. 
 
 10 tMy defence is I0 from God, who saveth 
 the 'upright in heart. 
 
 11 ||God judgeth the righteous, "but God 
 is angry with the wicked every day. 
 
 12 If he turn not, he will m whet his sword; 
 he hath bent his bow, and made it ready. 
 
 13 He hath also prepared for him the in- 
 struments of death ; "he 12 formeth his ar- 
 rows 13 for the persecutors. 
 
 14 "Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, 
 and hath conceived mischief, and brought 
 forth falsehood. 
 
 15 tHe made a pit, and dug it, p and is 
 fallen into the ditcn which he made. 
 
 16 'His mischief shall return upon his 
 own head, and his violent dealing shall 
 come down upon u the crown of his head.

 righteousness : and will sing praise to the

 will sing praise to thy name, O 'thou Most

 who hate me, thou that liftest me up from 
 the gates of death :

 PSALM XVIII. 
 
 David praiseth God for his manifold and marvellous 
 blessings. 
 
 H To the chief Musician, Ji Psalm of Da- 
 vid, *the servant of Jehovah, who spoke 
 to Jehovah the words of *this song in 
 the day 1 when Jehovah delivered him 
 from the hand of all his enemies, and 
 from the hand of Saul : And he said, 
 
 I "WILL love thee, O Jehovah, my 
 strength. 
 
 2 Jehovah is my rock, and my fortress, 
 and my deliverer; my God, tmy strength, 
 'in whom I will trust; my buckler, and 
 the horn of my salvation, and my high 
 tower. 
 
 3 I will call upon Jehovah, 'who is worthy 
 to be praised : so shall I be saved from mine 
 enemies. 
 
 4 d The sorrows of death encompassed me, 
 and the 2 torrents of tungodly men made 
 me afraid. 
 
 5 The || 'pains of the 4 grave encompassed 
 me about : the snares of death 5 seized me. 
 
 6 In my distress I called upon Jehovah, 
 and cried to my God : he heard my voice 
 'from his 'palace, and my cry came before 
 him, even into his ears. 
 
 7 'Then the earth shook and trembled ; 
 the foundations also of the 'mountains 
 moved and were shaken, because he was 
 'angry. 
 
 8 There went up a smoke t 10 from his nos- 
 trils, and fire "from his mouth devoured : 
 coals were kindled by it. 
 
 9 f Ke bowed the heavens also, and came 
 down: and 'thick' darkness was under 
 his feet. 
 
 10 «And he rode on a cherub and did fly : 
 yea, ''he did fly on the wings of the wind. 
 
 391 
 
Thanks for God's deliverances. 
 
 11 He made darkness his secret place ; 
 'his pavilion round about him was dark 
 waters and thick clouds of the skies. 
 
 12 * 12 From the brightness 13 before him his 
 thick clouds passed, hail " and coals of fire. 
 
 15 Jehovah also thundered in the heavens, 
 and the Highest 15 uttered 'his voice; hail 16 
 and coals of fire. 
 
 14 ml7 And he sent out his arrows, and 
 scattered them ; and he shot out lightnings, 
 and discomfited them. 
 
 15 "Then the channels of waters were 
 seen, and the foundations of the world 
 were discovered at thy rebuke, O Jeho- 
 vah, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils. 
 
 16 "He sent from above, he took me, he 
 drew me 18 from great waters. 
 
 17 He delivered me from my strong ene- 
 my, and from those who hated me: for 
 they were too strong for me. 
 
 18 They "seized me in the day of my ca- 
 lamity : but Jehovah was my 20 support. 
 
 19 y He brought me forth also into a large 
 place: he delivered me, because he de- 
 lighted in me. 
 
 20 'Jehovah rewarded me according to 
 21 mine innocence ; according to the clean- 
 ness of my hands hath he recompensed me. 
 
 21 For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, 
 and have not wickedly departed from my 
 God. 
 
 22 For all his judgments were before me, 
 and I did not put away his ^ordinances 
 from me. 
 
 23 I was also upright tbefore him, and I 
 ' have' kept myself from mine iniquity. 
 
 24 "Therefore hath Jehovah recompensed 
 me according to ^mine innocence, accord- 
 ing to the cleanness of my hands tin his 
 24 sight. 
 
 25 'With the ^kind thou wilt shew thy- 
 self 26 kind; with an upright man thou wilt 
 shew thyself upright. 
 
 26 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself 
 pure; and 'with the 27 perverse thou wilt 
 ||shew thyself 2S crafty. 
 
 27 For thou wilt save the afflicted people; 
 but wilt bring down "high looks. 
 
 28 *For thou wilt light my 2S lamp: Jeho- 
 vah my God will enlighten my darkness. 
 
 29 For by thee I have || 30 rushed through 
 a troop; and by my God have I leaped 
 over a wall. 
 
 30 As for God, %is way is perfect : 2 the 
 word of Jehovah is || 31 pure : he is a buck- 
 ler "to all those who trust in him. 
 
 31 'For who is God 32 except Jehovah ? or 
 who is a rock '"except our God ? 
 
 32 It is God who c girdeth me with strength, 
 and maketh my way perfect. 
 
 33 d He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, 
 and "setteth me upon my high places. 
 
 34 ^He teacheth my hands to war, so that 
 a bow of 34 brass is broken by mine arms. 
 
 35 Thou hast also given me the 35 buckler 
 of thy salvation : and thy right hand hath 
 holden me up, and ||thy gentleness hath 
 made me great. 
 
 36 Thou hast enlarged my steps under 
 me, f that tiny feet did not ^totter. 
 
 37 I have pursued mine enemies, and 
 overtaken them : neither did I turn again 
 till they were consumed. 
 
 38 I have wounded them ' so' that they 
 were not able to rise : they are fallen un- 
 der my feet.

 helping me, and from 6 the words of my 
 'groaning? 
 
 2 O my God, I cry in the day-time, but 
 thou 2 answerest not ; and in the night sea- 
 son, and tarn not silent. 
 
 3 But thou art holy, O thou who inhabit- 
 est the 'praises of Israel. 
 
 4 Our fathers trusted in thee: they trust- 
 ed, and thou didst deliver them. 
 
 5 They cried to thee, and were delivered : 
 d they trusted in thee, and were not disap- 
 pointed. 
 
 6 But I am e a worm, and no man ; f t\ re- 
 proach of men, and despised of the people. 
 
 7 g All they that see me 4 deride me : they 
 5 open the lips, *they shake the head, saying, 
 
 8 'tHe trusted in Jehovah that he would 
 deliver him : 'let him deliver him, || 6 for he 
 delighted in him. 
 
 9 'But thou art he that took me 7 from the 
 womb : thou ||didst make me hope when I 
 was on my mother's breasts. 
 
 10 I was cast upon thee from the womb :

 15 r My strength is dried up like a pot-

 mercies and thy loving-kindnesses; for 
 they have been 4 from everlasting. 
 
 7 Remember not /the sins of my youth,

 'kindness remember thou me for thy good- 
 ness' sake, O Jehovah. 
 
 8 Good and upright is Jehovah: therefore 
 will he teach sinners in the way. 
 
 9 The meek will he guide in judgment :

 10 All the paths of Jehovah are kind- 
 ness and 'faithfulness to such as keep his 
 covenant and his testimonies. 
 
 11 'For thy name's sake, O Jehovah,

 his 3 tent will he hide me ; he 4 will *set me 5 
 upon a rock. 
 
 6 And now shall 'my head be lifted up 
 above mine enemies 6 around me : therefore 
 will I offer in his 7 tent sacrifices tof joy ; I 
 will sing, yea, I will sing praises to Je-

 3 Draw out also the spear, and stop the 
 way against them that persecute me : say 
 to my soul, I am thy salvation. 
 
 4 d Let them be Misappointed and put to 
 shame that seek ' my Hife : let them be 
 •turned back and brought to confusion who 
 devise my hurt. 
 
 5 f Let them be 5 like chaff before the wind : 
 and let the angel of Jehovah chase them. 
 
 6 Let their way be t r dark and slippery: 
 and let the angel of Jehovah 6 pursue them. 
 
 7 For without cause have they Hiidden 
 for me their net in a pit, which without 
 cause they have digged for my We. 
 
 8 Let 'destruction come upon him t'un- 
 expectedly ; and 'let his net that he hath 
 hidden catch himself: into that very de- 
 struction let him fall. 
 
 9 And my soul shall be joyful in Jeho- 
 vah : 'it shall rejoice in his salvation. 
 
 10 m All my bones shall say, Jehovah, 
 "who is like to thee, who deliverest the 
 poor from him that is too strong for him, 
 yea, the poor and the needy from him that 
 spoileth him ?

David complaineth of his enemies. 
 
 11 t "False witnesses did rise up; tthey 
 laid to my charge things which I knew not. 
 
 12 p They rewarded me evil for good to 
 the 1 9 bereaving of my '"life. 
 
 13 But as for me, 'when they were sick, 
 my clothing was sackcloth: I || humbled 
 my soul with fasting ; 'and my prayer re- 
 turned into mine own bosom. 
 
 14 I tbehaved myself tas though he had 
 been my friend or brother : I bowed down 
 "sorrowfully, as one that mourneth/or his 
 mother. 
 
 15 But in 12 my tfall they rejoiced, and 
 gathered themselves together: yea, 'the 
 '"slanderers gathered themselves M against 
 me, and I knew it not ; they did ' 16 revile 
 me, and ceased not : 
 
 16 With 16 ungodly mockers in feasts, 
 "they gnashed upon me with their teeth. 
 
 17 "Lord, how long wilt thou *look on ? 
 rescue 18 me from their destructions, t*my 
 ,9 life from the lions. 
 
 18 *I will give thee thanks in the great 
 congregation: I will praise thee among

 19 "Let not them that are mine enemies

 them wink with the eye 'that hate me with- 
 out a cause. 
 
 20 For they speak not peace: but they 
 devise deceitful matters against those who 
 are quiet in the land. 
 
 21 Yea, they d opened their mouth wide 
 against me, and said, e Aha, aha ! our eye 
 hath seen it. 
 
 22 This thou hast 'seen, Jehovah: s keep 
 not silence : 2l O Lord, be not ''far from me. 
 
 23 i22 Arise, and awake to my judgment,

 24 *Judgeme, m Lord my God, 'accord- 
 ing to thy righteousness; and *"let them

 *We have swallowed him up. 
 
 26 ''Let them be ashamed and brought to 
 confusion together that rejoice at my ^cala- 
 mity: let them be 'clothed with shame 
 and dishonour who 'magnify themselves 
 against me. 
 
 27 'Let them shout for joy, and be glad, 
 that favour tmy righteous cause: yea, let 
 them 'say continually, Let Jehovah be 
 magnified, "who hath pleasure in the pros- 
 perity of his servant. 
 
 28 *And my tongue shall speak of thy 
 righteousness and of thy praise all the day 
 long.

 PSALM XXXIX. 
 
 I David's care of his thoughts. 4 The consideration 
 of the brevity and vanity of life, 7 the reverence 
 of God's judgments, 10 and prayer, are his bridles 
 of impatiency. 
 
 If To the chief Musician, even to *Jedu- 
 thun, A Psalm of David. 
 
 I SAID, I will "take heed to my ways, 
 that I sin not with my tongue : I will 
 keep t'my mouth with a 'muzzle, 'while 
 the wicked 2 are before me. 
 
 2 d l was dumb with silence ; I held my 
 peace, even from good; and my sorrow 
 was tstirred. 
 
 3 My heart was hot within me ; while I 
 was musing 'the fire burned : then spoke I 
 with my tongue. 
 
 4 O Jehovah, 'make me to know mine 
 end, and the measure of my days, what it 
 is ; that I may know ||how frail I am. 
 
 5 Behold, thou hast made my days Hike 
 a handbreadth ; and e mine age is as nothing 
 before thee: **truly every man 'f 6 in his best 
 state is altogether vanity. Selah. 
 
 399 
 
Obedience better than sacrifice. 
 
 6 Surely every man walketh in fa vain 
 shew : surely they are disquieted in vain : 
 *he heapeth up riches, and knoweth *not 
 who shall gather them. 
 
 7 And now, 6 Lord, what wait I for ? 'my 
 hope is in thee. 
 
 8 Deliver me from all my transgressions : 
 make me not m the reproach of the foolish. 
 
 9 n I was dumb, I opened not my mouth ; 
 because "thou didst it. 
 
 10 'Remove thy stroke away from me : I 
 am consumed by the tblow of thy hand. 
 
 11 When thou with rebukes dost correct 
 man for iniquity, thou makest this beauty 
 «to consume away like a moth : r surely 
 every man is vanity. Selah. 
 
 12 Hear my prayer, O Jehovah, and give 
 ear to my cry ; hold not thy peace at my 
 tears : 'for I am a stranger with thee and 
 a sojourner, 'as all my fathers were. 
 
 13"0 spare me, that I may recover strength, 
 before I go hence, and *be no more. 
 PSALM XL. 
 
 1 The benefit of confidence in God. 6 Obedience is the 
 best sacrifice. 11 The sense of David's evils in- 
 flameth his prayer. 
 
 If To the chief Musician, A Psalm of 
 David. 
 
 T fWAITED patiently for Jehovah; 
 
 J- and he inclined to me, and heard my

 2 He brought me up also out of ta 'pit of

 my feet on a rock, and Established my 
 goings. 
 
 3 'And he hath put a newsong in my

 4 * 3 Happy is that man that maketh Jeho- 
 vah his trust, and "respecteth not the proud, 
 nor such as 'turn aside 4 falsely. 
 
 5 *Many, Jehovah my God, are thy 
 wonderful works which thou hast done, 
 %nd thy thoughts 'towards us : ||they can- 
 not be reckoned up in order to thee : if I 
 would declare and speak of them, they are 
 more than can be numbered. 
 
 6 "Sacrifice and offering thou didst not 
 desire ; mine ears hast thou topened : 
 burnt-offering and sin-offering hast thou 
 not required. 
 
 7 Then said I, Lo, I come : in the 6 roll 
 of the book it is "written 'concerning me, 
 
 8 °I delight to do thy will, O my God : 
 yea, thy law is t'within my heart. 
 
 9 9 I have preached righteousness in the 
 great congregation: lo, r I have not Re- 
 strained my lips, O Jehovah, 'thou knowest. 
 
 10 'I have not hidden thy righteousness 
 in my heart; I have declared thy faithful- 
 ness and thy salvation : I have not con- 
 cealed thy loving-kindness and thy truth 
 from the great congregation. 
 
 11 Withhold not thou thy tender mercies 
 from me, Jehovah : "let thy loving-kind- 
 ness and thy faithfulness continually pre- 
 serve me. 
 
 12 For innumerable evils have encom- 
 passed me '"around : x my miseries have 
 taken hold on me, so that I am not able to 
 look up ; they are more than the hairs of

 enemies' treachery. 10 Hefleeth to God for succour. 
 
 If To the chief Musician, A Psalni of

 ^-L poor: Jehovah will deliver him 1in 
 time of trouble. 
 
 2 Jehovah will 2 guard him, and keep him 
 alive ; and he shall be ^appy on the earth : 
 'and ||thou wilt not deliver him to the will 
 of his enemies. 
 
 3 Jehovah will strengthen him on the 
 bed of languishing : thou wilt tmake all 
 his bed in his sickness. 
 
 4 I said, Jehovah, be merciful to me: 
 "heal my soul; for I have sinned against 
 thee. 
 
 5 Mine enemies speak evil of me, When 
 4 will he die, and his name perish ? 
 
 6 And if he cometh to see me, he ^speak- 
 eth vanity : his heart gathereth iniquity to 
 itself ; when he goeth abroad, he tefleth it. 
 
 7 All that hate me whisper together 
 against me: against me do they devise 
 tmy hurt. 
 
 8 t 5 Evil, say they, 6 oppresseth him : and 
 now that he lieth he 'will rise up no more. 
 
 9 'Yea, tmine own familiar friend, in 
 whom 1 trusted, 'who did eat 8 my bread, 
 hath tlifted up his heel against me. 
 
 10 Butthou, O Jehovah, lie merciful to me, 
 and raise me up, that I may requite them. 
 
 11 By this I know that thou Melightest in 
 me, because mine enemy doth not triumph 
 over me. 
 
 12 And as for me, thou upholdest me in 
 mine integrity, and Wettest me before thy 
 face for ever.

 of evil, when c the iniquity of mine 'enemies 
 shall 4 encompass me ? 
 
 6 They who rf trust in their wealth, and 
 
The majesty of God in the church. 
 
 boast themselves in the 'abundance of their 
 riches; 
 
 7 6 No one of them can by any means re- 
 deem his brother, nor 'give to God a ran- 
 som for him : 
 
 8 (For •'the redemption of their life is 
 8 costly, and it ceaseth for ever :) 
 
 9 That he should still live for ever, and 
 f not see corruption. 
 
 10 For 9 it is seen that ''wise men die, like- 
 wise the fool and the 10 stupid person pe- 
 rish, 'and leave their wealth to others. 
 
 11 Their inward thought is, that their 
 houses shall continue for ever, one? their 
 dwelling-places tto all generations ; they 
 'call their lands after their own names. 
 
 12 Nevertheless 'man H in honour abideth 
 not : he is like the beasts that perish. 
 
 13 This their way is their m folly: yet 
 their posterity tapprove their sayings. Se- 
 lah. 
 
 14 Like sheep they are laid in the 12 grave ; 
 death shall feed on them ; and "the upright 
 shall have dominion over them in the morn- 
 ing ; "and their || I3 form shall consume ||in 
 the '^grave from their dwelling. 
 
 15 But God '"will redeem 15 me tfrom the 
 power of ||the 16 grave : for he "will receive 
 me. Selah. 
 
 16 Be not thou afraid when one is made 
 rich, when the glory of his house is in- 
 creased ; 
 
 17 'For when he dieth he shall carry no- 
 thing away: his glory shall not descend 
 after him. 
 
 18 Though twhile he lived r he blessed 
 18 himself, (and men will praise thee, when 
 thou doest well to thyself,) 
 
 19 tHe shall *go to the generation of his 
 fathers ; they shall never see 'light. 
 
 20 "Man who is in honour, and under- 
 standeth not, *is like the beasts that perish. 
 
 PSALM L. 
 
 1 The majesty of God in the church. 5 His order to 
 gather saints. 7 The pleasure of God is not in 
 ceremonies, 14 but in sincerity of obedience. 
 
 1 A Psalm ||of Asaph. 
 n^HE "mighty God, ' Jehovah, hath 
 -f- spoken, and called the earth from the 
 rising of the sun to 2 its going down. 
 
 2 3 From Zion, 'the perfection of beauty, 
 'God hath shined. 
 
 3 Our God 5 will come, and 8 will not keep 
 silence: d n fire shall devour before him, 
 and it shall be very tempestuous round 
 about him. 
 
 4 'He 7 will call to the heavens from above, 
 and to the earth, that he may judge his 
 people. 
 
 5 Gather 'my saints together to me ; ? those 
 who have made a covenant with me by 
 sacrifice. 
 
 6 8 Now *the heavens shall declare his 
 justice: for 'God himself is judge. Selah. 
 
 7 *Hear, O my people, and I will speak ; 
 O Israel, and I will testify against thee: 
 'I am God, even thy God. 
 
 8 m I will not reprove thee "for thy sacri- 
 fices or thy burnt-offerings, to have been 
 continually before me. 
 
 9 °I will take no bullock 10 from thy house, 
 nor he-goats "from thy folds. 
 
 10 For every beast of the forest is mine, 
 and the cattle on a thousand 12 mountains. 
 
 Ill know all the fowls of the mountains: 
 and the wild beasts of the field are tmine.

 est my words behind thee.

 vl6 wast pleased with him, and thast been 
 'partaker with adulterers. ■, 
 
 19 tThou givest thy mouth to evil, and

 PSALM LI. 
 
 1 David prayeth for remission of sins, whereof he 
 maketh a deep confession. 6 He prayeth for sanc- 
 tification. 16 God delighteth not in sacrifice, but 
 in sincerity. 18 He prayeth for the church. 
 
 If To the chief Musician, A Psalm of Da- 
 vid, *when Nathan the prophet came to 
 him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba. 
 
 HAVE mercy on me, O God, accord- 
 ing to thy loving-kindness: accord- 
 ing to the multitude of thy tender mercies 
 "blot out my transgressions. 
 
 2 *Wash me thoroughly from mine ini- 
 quity, and cleanse me from my sin. 
 
 3 For 'I acknowledge my transgressions: 
 and my sin is ever before me. 
 
 4 d Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, 
 and done this evil 'in thy sight : 'that thou 
 mightest be justified when thou speakest, 
 ana be clear when thou judgest. 
 
 5 ^Behold, I was shapen in iniquity ; *and 
 in sin did my mother Tconceive me. 
 
 6 Behold, thou desirest truth 'in the 'reins : 
 and in the hidden part thou shalt make me 
 to know wisdom. 
 
 7 * 2 Cleanse me with hyssop, and I shall 
 be clean : wash me, and I shall be 'whiter 
 than snow. 
 
 8 Make me to hear joy and gladness ; that

 rejoice.

 and take not thy "Holy Spirit from me.

 and uphold me with thy * 4 willing Spirit. 
 
 13 Then will I teach transgressors thy

 ways; and sinners shall be s turned to 
 thee. 
 
 14 Deliver me from f blood-guiltiness, 
 God, thou God of my salvation : and "my 
 tongue shall sing aloud Concerning thy 
 kindness. 
 
 15 O 'Lord, open thou my lips, and my 
 mouth shall "declare thy praise. 
 
 16 For *thou desirest not sacrifice ; ||else 
 would I give it: thou delightest not in 
 burnt-offering. 
 
 17 »The sacrifices of God are a broken 
 spirit : a broken and a contrite heart, 
 God, thou wilt not despise. 
 
 18 Do good in thy good pleasure to Zion : 
 build thou the walls of Jerusalem. 
 
 19 Then shalt thou be pleased with *the 
 sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt-of- 
 fering and whole burnt-offering : then shall 
 they offer bullocks on thine altar. 
 
 PSALM LII. 
 
 1 David, condemning the spitefulness of Doeg, pro- 
 phesieth his destruction. 6 The righteous shall 
 rejoice at it. 8 David, upon his confidence in 
 God's mercy, giveth thanks. 
 
 1JTo the chief Musician, Maschil, A Psalm 
 of David, *when Doeg the Edomite came 
 and *told Saul, and said to him, David 
 is come to the house of Ahimelech. 
 
 WHY boastest thou thyself in mischief, 
 O "mighty man ? the 'kindness of 
 God endurem continually. 
 
 2 'Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs ; 'like a 
 sharp razor, working deceitfully. 
 
 3 Thou lovest evil more than good ; and 
 d lying rather than to speak righteousness. 
 Selah. 
 
 4 Thou lovest all devouring words, || 
 thou deceitful tongue. 
 
 5 God shall likewise tdestroy thee for 
 ever, he shall take thee away, and pluck 
 thee 2 from thy 3 tent, and 'root thee out of 
 the land of the living. Selah. 
 
 6 -The righteous also shall see, and fear, 
 ff and shall laugh at him : 
 
 7 Lo, this is the man who made not God 
 his strength; but ''trusted in the abundance 
 of his riches, and strengthened himself in 
 his || wickedness. 
 
 8 But I am 'like a green olive-tree in the 
 house of God : I trust in the 4 kindness of 
 God for ever and ever. 
 
 9 I will praise thee for ever, because thou 
 hast done it: and I will wait on thy name; 
 *for it is good before thy saints 
 
 PSALM LIII. 
 
 1 David describeth the corruption of a natural man. 
 4 He convinceth the wicked by the light of their 
 own conscience. 6 He glorieth in the salvation 
 of God. 
 
 If To the chief Musician on Mahalath, 
 
 Maschil, A Psalm of David. 
 T^HE "fool hath said in his heart, There 
 ■*- is no God. Corrupt are they, and have 
 done abominable iniquity: Hhere is none 
 that doeth good. 
 
 2 God 'looked down from heaven upon 
 the children of men, to see if there were 
 any that did understand, that did ''seek God. 
 
 3 Every one of them is gone back : they 
 are altogether become 'corrupt; there is 
 2 no one mat doeth good, no, not one.

 1 David, complaining of the Ziphims, prayeth for 
 salvation. 4 Upon his confidence in God's help 
 he promiseth sacrifice. 
 
 If To the chief Musician on Neginoth, 
 Maschil, A Psalm of David, *when the 
 Ziphims came and said to Saul, Doth 
 not David hide himself with us ? 
 
 SAVE me, O God, by thy name, and 
 'do me justice by thy strength. 
 
 2 Hear my prayer, O God : give ear to 
 the words of my mouth. 
 
 3 For "strangers 2 have risen up against 
 me, and oppressors seek 3 my life: they 
 have not set God before them. Selah. 
 
 4 Behold, God is my helper: 'the 4 Lord 
 is with them that uphold my 5 life. 
 
 5 He shall reward evil to 6 those who 
 watch me ; cut them off 'in thy 'faithful- 
 ness. 
 
 6 I will 8 willingly sacrifice to thee : I will 
 praise thy name, O Jehovah; "for it is good. 
 
 7 For he hath delivered me 9 from all 
 trouble : 'and mine eye hath seen its desire 
 on mine enemies. 
 
 PSALM LV. 
 
 1 David in his prayer complaineth of his fearful case. 
 9 He prayeth against his enemies, of whose wicked- 
 ness and treachery he complaineth. 16 He com- 
 forteth himself in God's preservation of him, and 
 confusion of his enemies. 
 
 If To the' chief Musician on Neginoth, 
 Maschil, A Psalm of David. 
 
 GIVE ear to my prayer, O God; and 
 hide not thyself trom my supplication. 
 
 2 Attend to me, and 'answer me ; I "mourn 
 in my complaint, and make a noise ; 
 
 3 Because of the voice of the enemy, be- 
 cause of the oppression of the wicked: 'for 
 they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath 
 they 2 lie in wait for me. 
 
 4 'My heart is 3 pained within me : and 
 the terrors of death 4 have fallen upon me. 
 
 5 Fearfulness and trembling 5 have come 
 upon me, and horror hath toverwhelmed me. 
 
 6 And I said, Oh that I had wings like a 
 dove ! for then would I fly away, and be 
 at rest. 
 
 7 Lo, then would I wander far off, and 
 6 lodge in the 'desert. Selah. 
 
 8 l would hasten my escape from the 
 windy storm and tempest. 
 
 9 Destroy, O Lord, and 8 cause dissen- 
 sions among them : for I have seen ''vio- 
 lence and strife in the city. 
 
 10 Day and night they go about it on the 
 walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow 
 are in the midst of it. 
 
 11 Wickedness is in the midst thereof: 
 'oppression and to deceit depart not from 
 her streets. 
 
 12 'For it was not an enemy that re- 
 proached me ; then I could have borne it: . 
 neither was it he who hated me that did 
 
 ' magnify himself agt\\nst me; then I would

 hear my voice.

 broken his covenant. 
 
 21 * TTie words of his mouth were smoother 
 than butter, but war was in his heart : his 
 words were softer than oil, yet were they 
 drawn swords. 
 
 22 'Cast thy [iburden on Jehovah, and 
 he 2 'will sustain thee : iie ^will never 
 suffer the righteous to be moved. 
 
 23 But thou, God, shalt bring them

 PSALM LVL 
 
 1 David, praying to God in confidence of his word, 
 complaineth of his enemies. 9 He professeth his 
 confidence in God's word, and promiseth to praise 
 him. 
 
 *[ To the chief Musician on Jonath-elem- 
 rechokim, ||Michtam of David, when the 
 *Philistines 'seized him in Gath. 
 
 BE "merciful to me, O God: for man 
 would swallow me up ; he fighting 
 daily oppresseth me. 
 
 2 t 2 Tliose who watch would daily l swal 
 low me up : for they 3 are many who fight 
 against me, thou Most High. 
 
 3 4 When I am afraid, I will trust in 
 thee. 
 
 4 'In God I will praise his word, in God 
 I have put my trust ; d l will not fear what 
 flesh can do to me. 
 
 5 Every day they wrest my words : all 
 their thoughts are against me for evil. 
 
 6 'They gather themselves together, they 
 hide themselves, they 5 watch my steps, 
 Avhen they wait for my 6 life. 
 
 7 Shall they escape by iniquity ? in thine 
 anger cast down the people, God. 
 
 8 Thou 'countest my wanderings: put 
 thou my tears into thy bottle : s are they 
 not in thy book ? 
 
 9 When I cry to thee, then shall mine 
 enemies turn back : this I know ; for "God 
 is for me. 
 
 10 In God will I praise his word: in Je- 
 hovah will I praise his word. 
 
 11 In God have I put my trust : I will 
 not be afraid what man can do to me. 
 
 12 Thy vows are on me, God : I will 
 render praises to thee. 
 
 13 For "thou hast delivered my 8 life from 
 death : wilt not thou deliver my feet from 
 falling, that I may walk before God in 'the 
 light of the living ?

 to me : for my soul trusteth in thee :

 make my refuge, 'until these calamities 
 'shall have passed away.

 vens ; let thy glory be above all the earth. 
 
 6 'They have prepared a net for my steps ; 
 my soul is bowed down: they have digged

 PSALM LVIII. 
 
 1 David reproveth wicked judges, 3 describelh the 
 nature of the wicked, 6 devoteth them to God's 
 judgments, 10 whereat the righteous shall rejoice. 
 
 If To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, 
 Michtam of David . 
 
 DO ye indeed utter justice so long 
 dumb ? do ye judge uprightly, O ye 
 sons of men? 
 
 2 Yea, in heart ye work wickedness ; "ye 
 weigh the violence, of your hands in the 
 earth. 
 
 3 'The wicked are estranged from the 
 2 birth: they go astray tas soon as they 3 are 
 born, speaking lies. 
 
 4 'Their poison is tlike the poison of a 
 serpent : they are like ''the deaf 4 asp that 
 stoppeth her ear ; 
 
 5 Who will not hearken to the voice of 
 charmers, ||charming 5 ever so wisely. 
 
 6 'Break their teeth, O God, in their 
 mouth : break out the great teeth of the 
 young lions, O Jehovah. 
 
 7 /Let them melt away 6 like waters which 
 run continually : when he bendeth his bow 
 to shoot his arrows, let them be as * if cut 
 in pieces. 
 
 8 As a snail which melteth, let ''each one 
 of them pass away : 'like the untimely birth 
 of a woman, that they may not see the sun. 
 
 9 Before your pots can feel the thorns,

 1 David prayeth to be delivered from his enemies. 6 
 He complaineth of their cruelty. 8 He trusteth in 
 God. 11 He prayeth against them. lQHeprais- 
 eth God. 
 
 If To the chief Musician, || *Al-taschith, 
 Michtam of David ; *when Saul sent, 
 and they watched the house to kill 
 him. 
 
 DELIVER "me from mine enemies, O 
 my God : tdefend me from those who 
 rise up against me. 
 
 2 Deliver me from the workers of iniqui- 
 ty, and save me from bloody men. 
 
 3 For lo, they lie in wait for my 'life : 
 the.mighty are gathered against me ; "not 
 for my transgression, nor for my sin, O 
 Jehovah. 
 
 4 They run and prepare themselves with- 
 out my fault : d awake tto help me, and be- 
 hold. 
 
 5 Thou therefore, Jehovah God of 
 hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all 
 the heathen : be not merciful to any 2 de- 
 ceitful transgressors. Selah. 
 
 6 'They return at evening : they make a 
 noise like a dog, and go round about the 
 city. 
 
 7 Behold, they belch out with their mouth : 
 f swords are in their lips: for s who, say 
 they, doth hear ? 
 
 8 But Hhou, Jehovah, wilt laugh at 
 them ; thou s wilt deride all the heathen. 
 
 9 Because of his strength will I wait 4 for 
 thee : f for God is tmy defence. 
 
 10 The God of my 5 kindness will "antici- 
 pate me : God 6 will let 'me see my desire 
 on t 7 those who watch me. 
 
 11 m Slay them not, lest my people forget: 
 scatter them by thy power; and bring 
 them down, 8 Lord our 9 buckler. 
 
 12 n For the sin of their mouth and the 
 words of their lips let them even be taken 
 in their pride : and for cursing and lying 
 which they speak. 
 
 13 "Consume them in wrath, consume 
 them, that they may l0 be no more : and p let 
 them know that God ruleth in Jacob to the 
 ends of the earth. Selah. 
 
 14 And 'at evening let them return ; and 
 let them make a noise like a dog, and go 
 round about the city. 
 
 15 Let them 'wander up and down tfor 
 "food, and lodge all night, if they l2 are not 
 satisfied. 
 
 16 But I will sing of thy power ; yea, I 
 will sing aloud of thy "kindness in the 
 morning: for thou hast been my defence 
 and refuge in the day of my trouble. 
 
 17 To thee, '0 my strength, will I sing : 
 'for God is my defence, and the God of 
 my "kindness.

 PSALM LXIII. 
 
 1 David's thirst for God. 4 His manner of blessing 
 God. 9 His confidence of his enemies' 1 destruction, 
 and his own safety. 
 
 1f A Psalm of David, *when he was in the 
 'waste region of Judah. 
 
 OGOD, thou art my God ; early will I 
 seek thee : "my soul thirsteth for thee, 
 my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and 
 2 weary land, where 3 there is no water ; 
 
 2 To see 'thy power and thy glory, 4 as I 
 have seen thee in the sanctuary. 
 
 3 'Because thy 5 kindness is better than 
 life, my lips shall praise thee. 
 
 4 Thus will I bless thee d while I live : I 
 will lift up my hands in thy name. 
 
 5 My soul shall be 'satisfied as with tmar- 
 row and fatness ; and my mouth shall praise 
 thee with joyful lips : 
 
 6 When 1 remember thee on my bed, 
 and meditate on thee in the night watches. 
 
 7 Because thou hast been my help, there- 
 fore *in the shadow of thy wings will I 
 rejoice. 
 
 8 My soul followeth hard after thee : thy 
 right hand upholdeth me. 
 
 9 But those who seek my 8 life to destroy 
 it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth. 
 
 10 t*They shall 7 be given up to the sword; 
 they shall be a portion for 'jackals. 
 
 11 But the king shall rejoice in God; 
 'every one who sweareth by him shall glory: 
 but the mouth of those who speak lies shall 
 be stopped. 
 
 PSALM LXIV. 
 
 1 David prayeth for deliverance, complaining of his 
 enemies. 7 He promiseth himself to see such an 
 evident destruction of his enemies, as the righteous 
 shall rejoice at it. 
 
 1f To the chief Musician, A Psalm of 
 David. 
 
 H'EAR my voice, O God, in my prayer: 
 - preserve my life from fear of the enemy. 
 
 2 Hide me from the secret counsel of the 
 wicked ; from the insurrection of the work- 
 ers of iniquity : 
 
 3 "Who whet their tongue like a sword, 
 b and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, 
 even bitter words : 
 
 4 That they may shoot in secret at the 
 'sincere : suddenly do they shoot at him, 
 and fear not.

 PSALM LXIX. 
 
 1 David complaineth of his affliction. 13 He prayeth 
 for deliverance. 22 He devoteth his enemies to de- 
 struction. 30 He praiseth God with thanksgiving. 
 
 ^J To the chief Musician *upon Shoshan- 
 nim, Jl Psalm of David. 
 
 SAVE me, O God ; for "the waters are 
 come in to my soul. 
 
 2 *I sink in 'the mire of the deep, where 
 there is no standing: I am come into tdeep 
 waters, where the floods overflow me. 
 
 3 "I am weary 2 with my crying: my throat 
 is dried : ''mine eyes fail while I wait for 
 my God. 
 
 4 Those who 'hate me without a cause are 
 more than the hairs of my head: those 
 who would destroy me, being mine ene- 
 mies wrongfully, are mighty: then I re- 
 stored that which I took not away. 
 
 5 O God, thou knowest my foolishness ; 
 and my tsins are not hidden from thee. 
 
 6 Let not those who wait 3 for thee, Je- 
 hovah Lord of hosts, be ashamed for my 
 sake : let not those who seek thee be con- 
 founded for my sake, O God of Israel. 
 
 7 Because for thy sake I have borne re- 
 proach : shame hath covered my face. 
 
 8 -f I am become a stranger to my breth- 
 ren, and an alien to my mother's children. 
 
 9 ? For * zeal 5 for thy house hath eaten 
 me up ; *and the reproaches of those who 
 reproached thee are fallen on me. 
 
 10 'When I wept, and chastened my soul 
 with fasting, that was to my reproach. 
 
 11 I made sackcloth also my garment; 
 *and I became a proverb to them. 
 
 12 Those who sit in the gate speak against 
 me; and ! I ivas the song of the tdrunkards.

 Jehovah, m in an acceptable time : O God, 
 in the Abundance of thy 7 kindness hear 
 me, in the "faithfulness of thy salvation. 
 
 14 Deliver me out of the mire, and let me 
 not sink: "let me be delivered from those 
 who hate me, and 9 from "the deep waters. 
 
 15 Let not the 10 flood overflow me; nei- 
 ther let the "depth swallow me up, and let 
 not the pit 'shut its mouth upon me. 
 
 16 "Answer me, O Jehovah; 'for thy 
 I3 kindness is good: r turn to me according 
 to the "abundance of thy tender mercies. 
 
 17 And 'hide not thy face from thy ser- 
 vant; for I am in trouble: t l5 answer ma 
 speedily. 
 
 18 Draw nigh to my soul, and redeem it; 
 deliver me because of mine enemies. 
 
 19 Thou hast known 'my reproach, and 
 my shame, and my dishonour: mine ad- 
 versaries are all before thee. 
 
 20 Reproach hath broken my heart; and 
 I am full of heaviness : and "I looked for 
 some tto take pity, but there is were none j 
 and for ^comforters, but I found none. 
 
 21 They gave me also "poppies for my 
 l8 food; »and in my thirst they gave me 
 vinegar to drink. 
 
 22 2 Let their table become a snare before 
 them : and that which should have been for 
 their welfare, let it become a trap. 
 
 23 "Let their eyes be darkened, that they 
 see not ; and make their loins continually 
 to shake. 
 
 24 'Pour out thine indignation upon them, 
 and let thy wrathful anger "overtake thenu 
 
 25 c Let ttheir ^castle be desolate; and 
 tlet none dwell in their tents. 
 
 26 For d they persecute 'him whom thou 
 hast smitten ; and they talk to the grief of 
 tthose whom thou hast wounded. 
 
 27 ■''Add || 21 punishment to their iniquity; 
 %nd let them not come into thy righteous- 
 ness. 
 
 28 Let them *be blotted out of the book 
 of the living, 'and not be written with the 
 righteous. 
 
 29 But I am poor and sorrowful : let thy 
 salvation, O God, set me up on high. 
 
 30 *I will praise the name of God with a 
 song, and will magnify him with thanks- 
 giving. # 
 
 31 l This also shall please Jehovah better 
 than an ox or bullock that hath horns and 
 22 divideth the hoof. 
 
 32 m The ||humble shall see this, and be 
 glad : and "your heart shall ^be refreshed 
 that seek God. 
 
 S3 For Jehovah heareth the poor, and 
 despiseth not "his prisoners. 
 
 34'Let the heaven and earth praise him, the 
 seas, "and every thing that tmoveth therein. 
 
 35 r For God will save Zion, and will 
 build the cities of Judah : that they may 
 dwell there, and have it in possession. 
 
 36 'The seed also of his servants shall 
 inherit it: and those who love his name 
 shall dwell therein.

 PSALM LXXI. 
 
 1 David, in confidence of faith, and experience of 
 God's favour, prayeth both for himself, and against 
 the enemies of his soul. 1 4 He promiseth constancy. 
 
 17 He prayeth for perseverance. 19 He praiseth 
 God, and promiseth to do it cheerfully. 
 
 IN thee, Jehovah, do I ■ trust ; let me 
 never be put to confusion. 
 
 2 'Deliver me in thy righteousness, and 
 cause me to escape : 'incline thine ear to 
 me, and save me. 
 
 3 "tBe thou my strong habitation, to 
 which I may continually resort : thou hast 
 given 'commandment to save me ; for thou 
 art my rock and my fortress. 
 
 4 'Deliver me, my God, out of the 
 hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the 
 unrighteous and 2 violent man. 
 
 5 For thou art y my hope, Lord Jeho- 
 vah : thou art my trust from my youth. 
 
 6 "By thee have I been "upheld from 4 my 
 birth : thou art he who took me 5 from my 
 mother : _ my praise shall be continually 
 Concerning thee. 
 
 7 'I am as a wonder to many ; but thou 
 art my strong refuge. 
 
 8 Let *my mouth be filled with thy praise 
 and with thy honour all the day. 
 
 9 'Cast me not off in the time of old age; 
 forsake me not when my strength faileth. 
 
 10 For mine enemies speak against me ; 
 and they that flay wait for my 7 life ""take 
 counsel together, 
 
 11 Saying, God hath forsaken him: per- 
 secute and take him ; for there is 8 no one 
 to deliver him. 
 
 12 n O God, be not far from me : my 
 God, "make haste for my help. 
 
 13 'Let them be confounded and con- 
 sumed that are adversaries to my 9 life; let 
 them be covered with reproach and dis- 
 honour that seek my hurt. 
 
 14 But I will hope continually, and will 
 yet praise thee more and more. 
 
 15 'My mouth shall shew forth thy right- 
 eousness and thy salvation all the day ; for 
 'I know not the numbers thereof. 
 
 16 I will go in the strength of the Lord 
 Jehovah: I will make mention of thy 
 righteousness, even of thine only. 
 
 \7 God, thou hast taught me from my 
 youth: and hitherto have I declared thy 
 wondrous works. 
 
 18 'Now also twhen I am old and gra 
 headed, O God, forsake me not; until Ihave 
 shewed t.thy strength to this generation, 
 and thy power to every one that is to come. 
 
 19 'Thy righteousness also, God, is very 
 high, who hast done great things : "0 God, 
 who is like to thee ?

The prosperity of the wicked. 
 PSALM LXXIII. 
 
 I The prophet, prevailing in a temptation, 2 sheweth 
 tke occasion thereof, the prosperity of the wicked. 
 13 The wound given thereby, diffidence. 15 The 
 victory over it, knowledge of God's purpose, in de- 
 stroying of the wicked, and sustaining the right- 
 eous. 
 
 U || A Psalm of * Asaph. 
 
 TRULYH God is good to Israel, even to 
 such as 'have a clean heart. 
 
 2 But as for me, my feet were almost 
 gone ; my steps had well nigh slipped. 
 
 3 •For I was envious at the foolish, when 
 I saw the prosperity of the wicked. 
 
 4 For there are no *pains even to death : 
 but their strength is t 'abundant. 
 
 5 They are not tin trouble as other men; 
 neither are they plagued tlike other men. 
 
 6 Therefore pride compasseth them about 
 4 like a * neck'-chain ; violence covereth 
 them ''like a garment. 
 
 7 "Their eyes stand out with fatness: 
 tthey have more than heart could wish. 
 
 8 They *mock, and 'speak wickedly con- 
 cerning oppression : they ? speak loftily. 
 
 9 They set their mouth *against the hea- 
 vens, and their tongue walketh through 
 the earth. 
 
 10 Therefore his people return hither: 
 'and waters of a full cup are wrung out to 
 them. 
 
 11 And they say, *How doth God know r 
 and is there knowledge in the Most High r 
 
 12 Behold, these are the ungodly, who 
 'prosper in the world; they increase in 
 riches. 
 
 13 ""Truly I have cleansed my heart in 
 vain, and "washed my hands in innocency. 
 
 14 For all the day long have I been plagued, 
 and tchastened every morning. 
 
 15 If I say, I will speak thus ; behold, 1 
 should 6 deal falsely with the generation of 
 thy children. 
 
 16 "When I thought to know this, tit was 
 too 'wearisome in my sight ; 
 
 17 Until r l went into the sanctuary of 
 God ; then understood I 'their end. 
 
 18 Surely 'thou didst set them on slippery 
 places: thou I0 didst cast them down into 
 destruction. 
 
 19 How are they brought into desolation, 
 as in a moment! they are utterly consum- 
 ed with terrors. 
 
 20 'As a dream when one awaketh ; so, 
 
 "Lord, 'when thou awakest, thou wilt 
 despise their image. 
 
 21 Thus my heart was "grieved, and I 
 was pricked in my reins. 
 
 22 "Thus was 1 "stupid, and tignorant; 
 
 1 was n like a beast tbefore thee. 
 
 23 Nevertheless I am continually with 
 thee: thou hast holden me by my right 
 hand. 
 
 24 'Thou wilt guide me with thy counsel, 
 and afterward receive me to glory. 
 
 25 *Whom have I in heaven but thee? 
 and there is u no one on earth that I desire 
 besides thee. 
 
 26 "My flesh and my heart faileth: but 
 God is the tstrength of my heart, and 'my 
 portion for ever. 
 
 27 For lo, 'those who are far from thee 
 shall perish : thou hast destroyed all them 
 that ''go ls lewdly from thee. 
 
 28 But it is good for me to 'draw near to 
 God : I have put my trust in the Lord Je- 
 hovah, that I may • declare all thy works.

 1 The prophet complaineth of the desolation of in*

 U || Maschil of Asaph. 
 
 OGOD, why hast thou "cast us off for 
 ever? why doth thine anger 'smoke 
 against the sheep of thy pasture? 
 
 2 Remember thy congregation, d which 
 thou hast purchased of old ; the "tribe of 
 thine inheritance, which thou hast redeem- 
 ed ; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast 
 dwelt. 
 
 3 Lift up thy feet to the perpetual deso- 
 lations ; even all that the enemy hath done 
 wickedly in the sanctuary. 
 
 4 'Thine enemies 2 shout in the midst of 
 thy congregations ; 'they set up their en- 
 signs/or signs. 
 
 5 Ji man was famous according as he had 
 lifted up axes 3 against the thick trees. 
 
 6 But now they break down *the carved 
 work thereof at once with axes and ham- 
 mers. 
 
 7 'tThey have cast fire into thy sanctuary, 
 they have i4 cast down the 6 tabernacle oi 
 thy name to the ground. 
 
 8 They said in their hearts, Let us tde-

 9 "We see not our signs: m lhere is no 
 more any prophet : neither is there among 
 us any that knoweth how long. 
 
 10 God, how long shall the adversary 
 reproach? shall the enemy 7 despise thy 
 name for ever ?

 12 For "God is my King of old, working 
 8 deliverance in the midst of the earth. 
 
 13 Thou didst tdivide the sea by thy 
 strength : «thou Midst break the heads of 
 the 10 sea-monsters in the waters. 
 
 14 Thou "didst break the heads of the 
 ^crocodile in pieces, and gavest him Tli for 
 meat 'to the people inhabiting the "desert. 
 
 15 Thou didst cleave the fountain and 
 the I5 torrent: "thou driedst up t mighty 
 rivers. 
 
 16 The day is thine, the night also is thine ; 
 *thou hast prepared the light and the sun* 
 
 17 Thou hast "set all the borders of the 
 earth : *thou hast tmade summer and ls au= 
 tumn. 
 
 18 "Remember this, that the enemy hath 
 reproached, O Jehovah, and that 'the fool-

 19 deliver not the soul 'of thy turtle- 
 dove to the multitude of the wicked: d forget 
 not the congregation of thy poor for even

 dark places ot the earth are full of the ha- 
 bitations of cruelty.

 pointed : let the poor and needy praise thy 
 name. 
 
 22 Arise, God, plead thine own cause;

 the tumult of those that rise up against 
 thee tincreaseth continually.

 4 d We will not hide them from their child- 
 ren, 'shewing to the generation to come the 
 praises of Jehovah, and his strength, and

 5 For 'he established a testimony in Ja-

 he commanded our fathers, ^that they should 
 make them known to their children : 
 
 6 That the generation to come might 
 know them, even the children who should

 them to their children :

 14 'In the day-time also he led them with 
 a cloud, and all the night with a light of 
 fire. 
 
 15 'He 'split the rocks in the 8 desert, and

 by asking meat for their "longing. 
 
 19 'Yea, they spoke against God ; they 
 said, Can God tfurnish a table in the wil- 
 derness ? 
 
 20 "Behold, he smote the rock, that the 
 waters gushed out, and the streams over- 
 flowed; can he give bread also? can he 
 provide flesh for his people ? 
 
 21 Therefore Jehovah heard this, and 
 *was."angry: so a fire was kindled against 
 Jacob, and anger also came up against Is- 
 rael ; 
 
 22 Because they 'believed not in God, and 
 trusted not in his salvation : 
 
 23 Though he had commanded the clouds 
 from above, d and opened the doors of 
 heaven, 
 
 24 e And had rained down manna upon 
 them to eat, and had given them of the 
 ,8 grain of heaven. 
 
 25 || Man did eat angels' food: he sent 
 them "victuals to the full. 
 
 26 'He caused an east wind tto blow in 
 the heaven : and by his power he brought 
 in the south wind. 
 
 27 He rained flesh also upon them 15 like 
 dust, and t I6 vvinged fowls like " the sand 
 of the sea : 
 
 28 And he let it fall in the midst of their 
 camp, l8 around their habitations. 
 
 29 g So they did eat, and were well filled: 
 for he gave them their own desire : 
 
 30 They were not estranged from their 
 "longing : but "while their meat tvas yet 
 in their mouths, 
 
 31 The wrath of God came upon them, 
 and slew the ao mightiest of them, and 
 tsmote down the Hchosen men of Israel. 
 
 32 For all this 'they sinned still, and ''be- 
 lieved not 21 in his wondrous works.

 38 r But he, being full of compassion, for- 
 gave their iniquity, and destroyed them 
 not: yea, M often 'turned he his anger away, 
 'and did not ^arouse all his wrath. 
 
 39 For "he remembered 'that they were 
 but flesh ; "a wind that passeth away, and 
 cometh not again. 
 
 40 How often did they ,2S rebel against 
 him in the ^desert, and grieve him in the 
 28 waste ! 
 
 41 Yea, "they turned back and tempted 
 God, and "troubled the Holy One of Is-

 42 They remembered not his hand, nor

 not drink. 
 
 45 'He sent 32 swarms of flies among them, 
 which devoured them ; and 'frogs which 
 destroyed them.

 "caterpillar, and their labour to the locust. 
 
 47 *He tdestroyed their vines with hail,

 48 'tHe gave up their cattle also to the 
 hail, and their flocks to "lightnings. 
 
 49 He cast upon them the fierceness of 
 his anger, wrath, and indignation, and 
 trouble, by sending evil angels among 
 them. 
 
 50 tHe made a way M for his anger; he 
 spared 3T them not from death, but gave 
 Htheir life over to the pestilence; 
 
 51 *And smote all the first-born in Egypt; 
 the chief of their strength in the "tents 
 of Ham : 
 
 52 But m made his own people to go forth 
 like sheep, and guided them in the "desert 
 like a flock. 
 
 53 And he "led them on safely, so that 
 they feared not : but the sea "overwhelmed 
 their enemies. 
 
 54 And he brought them to the border of 
 his 'sanctuary, even to this mountain , 9 which 
 his right hand had purchased. 
 
 55 "He cast out trie heathen also before 
 them, and 'divided them an inheritance by 
 ' the measuring'-line, and made the tribes 
 of Israel to dwell in their tents. 
 
 56 'Yet they tempted and ""rebelled against 
 the most high God, and kept not his testi- 
 monies : 
 
 57 But "turned back, and dealt unfaith- 
 fully like their fathers : they were turned 
 aside 'like a deceitful bow. 
 
 58 "For they provoked him 41 with their 
 'high places, and moved him to jealousy 
 with their graven images. 
 
 59 When God heard this, he was "angry, 
 and greatly abhorred Israel :

The desolation of Jerusalem. 
 
 60 "So that he forsook the tabernacle of 
 Shiloh, the tent which he placed among 
 men; 
 
 61 'And delivered his strength into cap- 
 tivity, and his glory into the enemy's hand. 
 
 62 'He gave nis people oyer also to the 
 sword ; and was ^angry with his inherit- 
 ance. 
 
 63 The fire consumed their young men ; 
 and ''their maidens were not tgiven to 
 marriage. 
 
 64 'Their priests fell by the sword ; and 
 'their widows made no lamentation. 
 
 65 Then the "Lord sr45 awoke as one 46 from 
 sleep, and *like a mighty man who shouteth 
 by reason of wine. 
 
 66 And 'he smote ' the rear of his ene- 
 mies 47 : he put them to a perpetual reproach. 
 
 67 Moreover he refused the "tent of Jo- 
 seph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim 
 
 68 But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount 
 Zion *which he loved. 
 
 69 And he 'built his sanctuary like high 
 palaces, like the earth which he hath tes 
 tablished for ever. 
 
 70 m He chose David also his servant, and 
 took him from the sheep-folds : 
 
 71 tFrom following "the ' milch'-ewes 
 he brought him "to feed Jacob his people, 
 and Israel his inheritance. 
 
 72 So he fed them according to the p inte 
 grity of his heart ; and guided them by the 
 skilfulness of his hands.

 that dwellest between the cherubim, 'shine

 Manasseh 'arouse up thy strength, and

 3 'Turn us again, O God, 'and cause thy 
 face to shine ; and we shall be saved. 
 
 4 O Jehovah God of hosts, how long twilt 
 thou be angry against the prayer of thy 
 people ? 
 
 5 *Thou feedest them with the bread of 
 tears ; and givest them tears to drink z by 
 measure. 
 
 6 "Thou makest us a strife to our neigh- 
 bours : and our enemies laugh among them- 
 selves. 
 
 7 'Turn us again, O God of hosts, and 
 cause thy face to shine ; and we shall be 
 saved. 
 
 8 Thou hast brought *a vine out of Egypt: 
 'thou hast cast out the heathen and plant- 
 ed it. 
 
 9 Thou m preparedst room before it, and 
 didst cause it to take deep root, and it 
 filled the land. 
 
 10 The 'mountains were covered with 
 the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof 
 were like tthe 4 lofty cedars. 
 
 11 It sent out its boughs to the sea, and 
 its branches n to the river. 
 
 12 Why hast thou then "broken down its 
 hedges, so that all those who pass by the 
 way do pluck it ? 
 
 13 The boar out of the wood doth waste 
 it, and the wild beast of the field doth de- 
 vour it. 
 
 14 Return, we beseech thee, O God of 
 hosts : 'look down from heaven, and be- 
 hold, and visit this vine ; 
 
 15 And the 5 plant which thy right hand 
 hath planted, and the branch R ivhich thou 
 hadst made strong 'for thyself. 
 
 16 It is burnt with fire, it is cut down :" 
 they perish at the rebuke of thy counte- 
 nance. 
 
 17 'Let thy hand be on the man of thy 
 right hand, on the son of man whom thou 
 madest strong for thyself. 
 
 18 So will not we go back from thee: 
 enliven us, and we will call upon thy name.

 hosts, cause thy face to shine ; and we 
 shall be saved.

 27 Also I will make him *my first-born, 
 'higher than the kings of the earth.

 33 "Nevertheless, my loving-kindness 
 twill I not utterly take from him, nor suffer

 38 But thou hast "cast off and 'abhorred, 
 thou hast been 22 angry with thine anointed. 
 
 39 Thou hast 23 rejected the covenant of 
 thy servant : 'thou hast profaned his crown 
 by casting it to the ground. 
 
 40 d Thou hast broken down all his hedges ; 
 thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin. 
 
 41 All who pass by the way spoil him : he 
 is 'a reproach to his neighbours. 
 
 42 Thou hast 24 exaltecf the right hand of 
 his adversaries; thou hast made all his

 43 Thou hast also turned the edge of his 
 sword, and hast not made him 26 stand in 
 the battle. 
 
 44 Thou hast made his 27 brightness cease, 
 and 'cast his throne down to the ground. 
 
 45 The days of his youth hast thou short- 
 ened: thou hast 28 clothed him with shame.

 1 Moses, setting forth God's providence, 3 complain- 
 eth of human fragility, 7 divine chastisements, 10 
 and brevity of life. 12 He prayeth for the know- 
 ledge and sensible experience of God's good provi- 
 dence.

 ! T ORD, "thou hast been our 2 refuge tin 
 •*-* all generations. 
 
 2 'Before the mountains were brought 
 forth, or 3 thou hadst formed the earth and 
 the world, even from everlasting to ever- 
 lasting, thou art God. 
 
 3 Thou turnest man to 4 dust ; and sayest, 
 c Return, ye children of men. 
 
 4 "Tor a thousand years in thy sight are 
 but as yesterday Uwhen it is past, and as a 
 watch in the night. 
 
 5 Thou earnest them away as with a 
 flood ; e they are Hike a sleep ; in the morn- 
 ing Hhey are like grass which Ugroweth up. 
 
 6 ? In the morning it flourisheth, and 
 groweth up ; in the evening it is cut down, 
 and withereth. 
 
 7 For we are consumed by thine anger, 
 and by thy wrath are we troubled. 
 
 8 ft Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, 
 our 'secret sins in the light of thy counte- 
 nance. 
 
 9 For all our days are tpassed away in 
 thy wrath : we 6 finish our years, 'like a 
 thought. 
 
 10 TThe days of our years are threescore 
 years and ten; and if through strength 
 they 9 are fourscore years, yet is their "Jpride 
 toil and sorrow ; for it is soon cut off, and 
 we fly away. 
 
 11 Who knoweth the power of thine an- 
 ger ? even according to thy fear, so is thy 
 wrath. 
 
 12 *So teach us to number our days, that 
 we may tapply our hearts to wisdom.

 let it 'repent thee concerning thy servants. 
 
 14 satisfy us early with thy "kindness;

 days. 
 
 15 Make us glad according to the clays 
 wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the 
 years wherein we have seen evil.

 God be upon us : and ^establish thou the

 PSALM XCIV. 
 
 1 The ■prophet, calling for justice, complaineth of 
 tyranny and impiety. 8 He teacheth God's pro- 
 vidence. 12 He sheweth the blessedness of afflic- 
 tion. 16 God is the defender of the afflicted. 
 
 O JEHOVAH tGod, "to whom ven- 
 geance belongeth; God, to whom 
 vengeance belongeth, tshew thyself. 
 
 2 "Arise, thou "Judge of the earth : ren- 
 der a reward to the proud. 
 
 3 O Jehovah, ''how long shall the wick- 
 ed, how long shall the wicked triumph ? 
 
 4 How long shall they "utter and speak 
 2 bqld things r and all the workers of ini- 
 quity boast themselves ? 
 
 5 They break in pieces thy people, O Je- 
 hovah, and afflict thy heritage. 
 
 6 They slay the widow and the stranger, 
 and murder the fatherless. 
 
 7 /Yet they say, 3 Jehovah 4 will not see, 
 neither 5 will the God of Jacob regard it. 
 
 8 ^Understand, ye 6 stupid among the peo- 
 ple : and ye fools, when will ye be wise ? 
 
 9 *He who planted the ear, shall he not 
 hear ? he who formed the eye, shall he not 
 see ? 
 
 10 He who chastiseth the heathen, shall 
 not he 7 rebuke ? he who 'teacheth man 
 knowledge, shall not he know ? 
 
 11 *Jehovah knoweth the thoughts of man, 
 that they are *but a breath. 
 
 12 !9 Happy is the man whom thou chas- 
 tenest, '"Jehovah, and teachest him "from 
 thy law ; 
 
 13 That thou mayest give him rest from 
 the days of adversity, until the pit be dig- 
 ged for the wicked. 
 
 14 "For Jehovah will not cast off his peo- 
 ple, neither will he forsake his inheritance. 
 
 15 But judgment shall return to right -

 1 The prophet in his prayer maketh a grievous com- 
 plaint. 12 He taketh comfort in the eternity and 
 mercy of God. 18 The mercies of God are to be 
 recorded. 23 He sustaineth his weakness by the 
 unchangeableness of God. 
 
 If A Prayer ||of the afflicted, *when he is 
 overwhelmed, and poureth out his com- 
 plaint before Jehovah. 
 
 HEAR my prayer, O Jehovah, and let 
 my cry "come to thee. 
 
 2 'Hide not thy face from me in the day 
 when I am in trouble ; 'incline thine ear to 
 me: in the day when I call, answer me 
 speedily. 
 
 3 "Tor my days are consumed ||like smoke, 
 and 'my bones are burned 'like fuel. 
 
 4 My heart is smitten, and ' withered like 
 grass ; so that I forget to eat my bread. 
 
 5 By * the voice of my groaning *"my bones 
 cleave to my 3 flesh. 
 
 6 *I am like 'a pelican of the 4 desert : I 
 am like an 5 owl of the 6 waste. 
 
 7 I *watch, and am 'like a sparrow 'alone 
 on the house-top. 
 
 8 Mine enemies reproach me all the day; 
 and those who are m mad against me are 
 "sworn against me. 
 
 9 For I nave eaten ashes like bread, and 
 "mingled my drink with weeping, 
 
 10 Because of thine indignation and thy 
 wrath: for p thou hast lifted me up, and 
 cast me down. 
 
 11 «My days are like a shadow that de- 
 clineth ; and r I am withered like grass. 
 
 12 But "thou, O Jehovah, shalt endure 
 for ever ; and 'thy remembrance to all ge- 
 nerations. 
 
 13 Thou wilt arise, and "have mercy on 
 Zion : for the time to favour her, yea, the 
 x set time, is come. 
 
 14 For thy servants take pleasure in "her 
 stones, and favour the dust thereof. 
 
 15 So the heathen shall *fear the name of 
 Jehovah : and all the kings of the earth 
 thy glory. 
 
 16 \Vhen Jehovah shall build up Zion, 
 °he 8 will appear in his glory. 
 
 17 'He will regard the prayer of the des- 
 titute, and not despise their prayer. 
 
 18 This shall be 'written for the genera- 
 tion to come : and d the people who shall 
 be created shall praise 9 Jehovah. 
 
 19 For he hath 'looked down from the 
 height of his sanctuary ; from heaven did 
 Jehovah behold the earth ; 
 
 20 -To hear the groaning of the prisoner; 
 to loose tthose who are appointed to death; 
 
 21 To r declare the name of Jehovah in 
 Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem; 
 
 22 When the people are gathered together, 
 and the kingdoms, to serve Jehovah. 
 
 23 He tweakened my strength in the way; 
 he ^shortened my days. 
 
 24 'I said, O my God, take me not away 
 in the midst of my days : Hhy years are 
 through all generations. _ 
 
 25 'Of old hast thou laid the foundation 
 of the earth : and the heavens are the work 
 of thy hands.

 PSALM cm. 
 
 1 An exhortation to bless God for his mercy, 15 and 
 
 for the constancy thereof. 
 
 IT A Psalm of David. 
 
 BLESS "Jehovah, O my soul : and all 
 that is within me, bless his holy name. 
 
 2 Bless Jehovah, O my soul, and forget 
 not all his benefits : 
 
 3 'Who forgivethall thine iniquities; who 
 'healeth all thy diseases ; 
 
 4 Who d redeemeth thy life from destruc- 
 tion; 'who crowneth thee with loving- 
 kindness and tender mercies ; 
 
 5 Who satisfieth Hhine age with good 
 things ; so that 'thy youth is renewed like 
 the eagle's. 
 
 6 * Jehovah executeth righteousness and 
 judgment for all who are oppressed. 
 
 7 "He made known his ways to Moses, 
 his acts to the children of Israel. 
 
 8 'Jehovah is merciful and Compassionate, 
 slow to anger, and tplenteous in 3 kindness. 
 
 9 *He will not always 4 contend ; neither 
 will he keep his anger for ever. 
 
 10 'He hath not dealt with us 'according 
 to our sins ; nor rewarded us according to 
 our iniquities. 
 
 11 m For tas the heaven is high above the 
 earth, so great is his mercy towards those 
 who fear him. 
 
 12 As far as the east is from the west, so 
 far hath he "removed our transgressions 
 from us. 
 
 13 6 °As a father pitieth his children, so 
 Jehovah pitieth them that fear him. 
 
 14 For he knoweth our frame; p he re- 
 membereth that we are 9 dust. 
 
 15 /Is for man, r his days are as grass : 'as 
 a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. 
 
 16 For the wind passeth over it, and tit 
 is 7 no more; and 'the place thereof shall 
 know it no more. 
 
 17 But the 8 kindness of Jehovah is from 
 everlasting to everlasting on those who fear 
 him, and nis righteousness "to children's 
 children ; 
 
 18 "To such as keep his covenant, and to 
 those who remember his commandments 
 to do them. 
 
 19 Jehovah hath prepared his "throne in the 
 heavens; and *his kingdom ruleth over all. 
 
 20 "Bless Jehovah, ye his angels, hnighty 
 in strength, that 'do his commandments, 
 hearkening to the voice of his word. 
 
 21 Bless ye Jehovah, all ye 'his hosts; 
 d ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure. 
 
 22 'Bless Jehovah, all his works in all 
 places of his dominion : 'bless Jehovah, 
 
 my soul. 
 
 PSALM CIV. 
 
 1 A meditation on the mighty power, 7 and wonder- 
 ful providence of God. 31 God's glory is eternal. 
 33 The prophet voweth perpetually to praise God. 
 
 BLESS "Jehovah, O my soul. O Jeho- 
 vah my God, thou art very great; 
 'thou art clothed with honour and majesty: 
 
 2 'Who 'clothest thyself with light as with

A meditation upon God's majesty. 
 
 a garment : d who stretchest out the hea- 
 vens like a curtain : 
 
 3 'Who layeth the beams of his chambers 
 in the waters : Avho maketh the clouds his 
 chariot: *who walketh on the wings of 
 the wind : 
 
 4 *Who maketh his angels *winds; 'his 
 ministers a flaming fire : 
 
 5 VWho laid the foundations of the earth, 
 that it should not be removed for ever. 
 
 6 'Thou coveredst it with the deep as with 
 a garment: the waters stood above the 
 mountains. 
 
 7 m At thy rebuke they fled ; at the voice 
 of thy thunder they hasted away. 
 
 8 " 3 The mountains arise; the valleys sink 
 down to "the place which thou hast found- 
 ed for them. 
 
 9 y Thou hast set a boundary that they 
 may not pass over; 'that they turn not 
 again to cover the earth. 
 
 10 tHe sendeth the springs into the ''chan- 
 nels, they trun among the 5 mountains. 
 
 11 They give drink to every beast of the 
 field : the wild asses tquench their thirst. 
 
 12 By them shall the fowls of the heaven 
 6 dwell, they tsing among the branches. 
 
 13 r He watereth the hills from his cham- 
 bers : 'the earth is satisfied with 'the fruit 
 of thy works. 
 
 14 "He causeth the grass to grow for the 
 cattle, and herb for the service of man : 
 that lie may bring forth *food out of the 
 earth : 
 
 15 And "wine that maketh glad the heart 
 of man, and toil to make his face to shine, 
 and bread which 'sustaineth man's heart. 
 
 16 The trees of the Lord are 'satisfied 
 with water ; the cedars of Lebanon, 'which 
 he hath planted ; 
 
 17 Where the birds make their nests : as 
 for the stork, the 9 cypr ess -trees are her 
 nouse. 
 
 18 The high '"mountains are a refuge for 
 the wild goats; and the rocks for "the 
 "conies. 
 
 19 'He appointeth the moon for seasons : 
 the sun c knoweth his going down. 
 
 20 ''Thou makest darkness, and it is night : 
 wherein tall the beasts of the forest ' 2 creep 
 forth. 
 
 21 'The young lions roar "for their prey, 
 and seek their meat from God. 
 
 22 The sun ariseth, they gather them- 
 selves together, and I4 lie down in their 
 dens. 
 
 23 Man goeth forth to -Hiis work and to 
 his labour until the evening. 
 
 24 e O Jehovah, how 15 numerous are thy 
 works ! in wisdom hast thou made them 
 all : the earth is full of thy riches. 
 
 25 So is this great and wide sea, wherein 
 are "moving things innumerable, both 
 small and great beasts. 
 
 26 There go the ships : there is that * "cro- 
 codile, which thou hast "formed to play 
 therein. 
 
 27 'These wait all 19 for thee; that thou 
 mayest give them their '"'food in due season. 
 
 28 That 'which'' thou givest them, they 
 gather: thou openest thy hand, they are 
 ''satisfied with good. 
 
 29 Thou hidest thy face, they are ^de 
 stroyed: 'thou takest away their breath, 
 they die, and return to their dust. 
 
 30 'Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are

 PSALM CV. 
 
 1 An exhortation to praise God, and to seek out his 
 works. 7 The story of God's providence over 
 Abraham, 16 over Joseph, 23 over Jacob in Egypt, 
 26 over Moses delivering the Israelites, 37 over the 
 Israelites brought out of Egypt, fed in the wilder- 
 ness, and planted in Canaan. 
 
 r\ "GIVE thanks to Jehovah ; call upon 
 ^ his name: 'make known his deeds 
 among the people. 
 
 2 Sing to him, sing psalms to him : c 'speak 
 ye of all his wondrous works. 
 
 3 Glory ye in his holy name : let the heart 
 of those rejoice who seek Jehovah. 
 
 4 Seek Jehovah, and his strength : ''seek 
 his face evermore. 
 
 5 'Remember his 2 wonderful works which 
 he hath done ; his wonders, and the judg- 
 ments of his mouth ; 
 
 6 O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye 
 children of Jacob his chosen. 
 
 7 He is Jehovah our God: ■'his judgments 
 are in all the earth. 
 
 8 He hath ^remembered his covenant for 
 ever, the word which he commanded to a 
 thousand generations. 
 
 9 ''Which covenant he made with Abra- 
 ham, and his oath to Isaac ; 
 
 10 And confirmed the same to Jacob for 
 3 an ordinance, and to Israel for an ever- 
 lasting covenant : 
 
 11 Saying, 'To thee will I give the land 
 of Canaan, tthe lot of your inheritance : 
 
 12 'When they were but a few men in 
 number; yea, very few, 'and strangers 
 in it. 
 
 13 When they went from one nation to 
 another, from one kingdom to another peo- 
 ple ; 
 
 14 m He suffered no man to do them wrong: 
 yea, "he reproved kings for their sakes ; 
 
 15 Saying, Touch not mine anointed, 
 and do my prophets no harm. 
 
 16 4 Then "he called for a famine upon the 
 land : he broke the whole p staff of bread. 
 
 17 'He sent a man before them, even Jo- 
 seph, who 'was sold for a servant: 
 
 18 'Whose feet they hurt with fetters : 
 the was laid in iron : 
 
 19 -Until the time that his word came : 
 'the word of Jehovah tried him. 
 
 20 "The king sent and loosed him; even 
 the ruler of the people, and let him go free. 
 
 21 *He made him lord of his house, and 
 ruler of all his t 6 wealth: 
 
 22 To bind his princes at his pleasure; 
 and teach his "elders wisdom. 
 
 23 "Israel also came into Egypt; and Ja- 
 cob sojourned *in the land of Ham. 
 
God's providence over Israel. 
 
 24 And °he increased his people greatly ; 
 and made them stronger than their enemies. 
 
 25 *He turned their heart to hate his peo- 
 ple, to deal 7 deceitfully with his servants. 
 
 26 c He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron

 *that he might make his mighty power 10 
 known. 
 
 9 'He rebuked the Red sea also, and it 
 was dried up : so m he led them through the 
 depths, as through the "desert. 
 
 10 And he "saved them from the hand of 
 him who hated them, and redeemed them 
 from the hand of the enemy. 
 
 11 "And the waters covered their ene- 
 mies : there was not one of them left. 
 
 12 'Then believed they his words ; they 
 sung his praise. 
 
 13 «tThey soon forgot his works, they 
 waited not for his counsel : 
 
 14 r But "longed exceedingly in the "de- 
 sert, and tempted God in the 15 waste. 
 
 15 'And he gave them their request; but 
 'sent leanness into their soul. 
 
 16 "They envied Moses also in the camp, 
 and Aaron 16 who was holy to Jehovah. 
 
 17 *The earth opened and swallowed up 
 Dathan, and covered the company of Abi- 
 ram. 
 
 18 ''And a fire was kindled in their com- 
 pany ; the flame burned up the wicked. 
 
 19 *They made a calf in Horeb, and wor- 
 shipped the molten image. 
 
 20 Thus "they changed their glory into 
 the "likeness of an ox that eateth grass. 
 
 21 They 'forgot God their saviour, who 
 had done great things in Egypt ; 
 
 22 Wondrous works in 'the land of Ham, 
 and terrible things by the Red sea. 
 
 23 Therefore he said that he would de- 
 stroy them, had not Moses his chosen 'stood 
 before him in the breach, to turn away his 
 wrath, lest he should destroy them. 
 
 24 Yea, they despised 'tthe pleasant land, 
 they 'believed not his word : 
 
 25 'But murmured in their tents, and 
 hearkened not to the voice of Jehovah. 
 
 26 'Therefore he 'lifted up his hand against 
 them, to overthrow them in the "desert : 
 
 27 t'To overthrow their seed also among 
 the nations, and to scatter them in the 
 lands. 
 
 28 ""They joined themselves also to Baal- 
 peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead 
 'idols.' 
 
 29 Thus they provoked him 19 with their 
 inventions : and the plague broke in upon 
 them. 
 
 30 "Then stood up Phinehas, and execut- 
 ed judgment : and so the plague was stayed. 
 
 31 And that was counted to him "for right- 
 eousness to all generations for evermore. 
 
 32 They zo made him angry also at the 
 waters of strife, 'so that it went ill with 
 Moses for their sakes : 
 
 33 'Because they provoked his spirit, so 
 that he spoke 21 imprudently with his lips. 
 
 34 'They did not destroy the nations, 'con- 
 cerning whom Jehovah commanded them : 
 
 35 "But were mingled ^with the heathen, 
 and learned their works. 
 
 36 And 'they served their idols *which 
 were a snare to them. 
 
 37 Yea, *they sacrificed their sons and 
 their daughters to a23 idols,

 kindled against his people, insomuch that 
 he abhorred / his own inheritance. 
 
 41 And s he gave them into the hand of 
 the heathen ; and those who hated them 
 ruled over them. 
 
 42 Their enemies also oppressed them, 
 and they were brought into subjection un- 
 der their hand. 
 
 43 "Many times did he deliver them ; but 
 they provoked him with their counsel ; and 
 were ||brought low for their iniquity. 
 
 44 ^Yet he regarded their affliction, when 
 'he heard their cry : 
 
 45 "And he remembered for them his co- 
 venant, and 'repented ""according to the 
 multitude of his "kindnesses. 
 
 46 "He made them also to be pitied M by

 PSALM CVII. 
 
 1 The psalmist exhorteth the redeemed, in praising 
 God, to observe his manifold providence, 4 over 
 travellers, 10 over captives, 17 over sick men, 23 
 over seamen, 33 and in divers varieties of life. 
 
 O a GIVE thanks to Jehovah, for b he is 
 good: for his 'kindness endureth for 
 ever. 
 
 2 Let the redeemed of Jehovah say so, 
 'whom he hath redeemed from the hand of 
 the enemy ; 
 
 3 And ""gathered them 2 from the lands, 
 from the east, from the west, from the 
 north, and tfrom the south. 
 
 4 They 'wandered in 'the 3 desert in a 
 solitary way; they found no city to dwell in. 
 
 5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted 
 in them. 
 
 6 «Then they cried to Jehovah in their 
 trouble, and he delivered them out of their 
 distresses. 
 
 7 And he led them forth by the "right 
 way, that they might go to a city of habi- 
 tation. 
 
 8 'Oh that men would praise Jehovah for 
 his 4 kindness, and for his wonderful works 
 to the children of men ! 
 
 9 For "he satisfieth the 6 thirsty person, 
 and filled the hungry 6 person with goodness. 
 
 10 Such as 'sit in darkness and in the 
 shadow of death, being "bound in afflic- 
 tion and iron ; 
 
 11 Because they "rebelled against the 
 words of God, and 'despised "the counsel 
 of the Most High : 
 
 12 Therefore he brought down their heart 
 with 8 toil ; they fell down, and there was 
 p9 no one to help. 
 
 13 «Then they cried to Jehovah in their 
 trouble, and he saved them out of their 
 distresses. 
 
 14 r He brought them out of darkness and

 23 Those who go down to the sea in ships,

 is to be blessed for his blessings.

 6 They have ears, but they hear not: 
 noses have they, but they smell not : 
 
 7 They have hands, but they handle not: 
 feet have they, but they walk not : neither 
 speak they through their throat. 
 
 8 'Those who make them are like 3 them; 
 so is every one that trust eth in them. 
 
 9 / Israel, trust thou in Jehovah : *he

 PSALM CXVI. 
 
 I The psalmist prcfesseth his love and duty to God 
 for kis deliverance. 12 He studieth to be thankful, 
 
 I "LOVE Jehovah, because he hath heard 
 my voice and my supplications. 
 2 Because he hath inclined his ear to me, 
 therefore will I call upon him tas long as 
 
 1 live. 
 
 S ''The 'pangs of death encompassed me, 
 and the pains of 2 the grave ^seized upon 
 me : I found trouble and sorrow. 
 
 4 Then called I upon the name of Jeho- 
 vah ; Jehovah, I beseech thee, deliver 
 my soul. 
 
 5 'Gracious is Jehovah, and ^righteous ; 
 yea, our God is merciful. 
 
 6 Jehovah preserveth the simple : I was 
 brought low, and he helped me. 
 
 7 Return to thy 'rest, O my soul; for 
 'Jehovah hath dealt bountifully with thee. 
 
 8 ff For thou hast delivered *me from death, 
 mine eyes from tears, and my feet from 
 falling. 
 
 9 I will walk before Jehovah *in the land 
 of the living. 
 
 10 "I believed, therefore have I spoken : 
 I was greatly afflicted : 
 
 11 1 said in my haste, 'All men are liars. 
 
 12 What shall I render to Jehovah for all 
 his benefits towards me ? 
 
 13 I will take the cup of salvation, and 
 call upon the name of Jehovah. 
 
 14 m I will pay my vows to Jehovah now 
 in the presence of all his people. 
 
 15 "Precious in the sight of Jehovah is 
 the death of his saints. 
 
 16 Jehovah, truly "I am thy servant ; 
 I am thy servant, and p the son of thy hand- 
 maid : thou hast loosed my bonds. 
 
 17 I will offer to thee 'the sacrifice of 
 thanksgiving, and will call upon the name 
 of Jehovah.

 prophet curseth Edom and Babel. 
 
 T> Y the rivers of Babylon, there we sat 
 J-* down, yea, we wept, when we remem- 
 bered Zion. 
 
 2 We hanged our harps on the willows 
 in the midst thereof. 
 
 3 For there those who carried us away 
 captives required of us ta song; and those 
 who t "wasted us required l mirth, saying, 
 Sing us one of the songs of Zion. 
 
 4 How 2 can we sing Jehovah's song in a 
 tstrange land ? 
 
 5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my 
 right hand forget Hts skill. 
 
 6 If I do not remember thee, let my 
 'tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth ; 
 if 1 prefer not Jerusalem above fmy chief 
 joy. 
 
 7 Remember, O Jehovah, c the children 
 of Edom in the day of Jerusalem ; who 
 said, tRase it, rase it, even to the founda- 
 tion thereof. 
 
 8 O daughter of Babylon, d who art to be 
 tdestroved ; happy shall he be, t'who re- 
 wardetn thee as thou hast 4 requited us. 
 
 9 Happy shall he be that taketh and 'dash-

 and for thy 'faithfulness: for thou hast 
 ^magnified thy word above all thy 4 fame. 
 
 3 In the day when I cried thou answer - 
 edst me, and strengthenedst me with 
 strength in. my soul. 
 
 4 'All the kings of the earth 5 will praise 
 thee, O Jehovah, when they hear the words 
 of thy mouth. 
 
 5 Yea, they 6 will sing in the ways of Je- 
 hovah : for great is the glory of Jehovah. 
 
 6 f Though the Lord Hs high, yet ff hath he 
 respect to the lowly: but the proud he 
 knoweth afar off. 
 
 7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble,

 O JEHOVAH, °thou hast searched me, 
 and known me. 
 
 2 ' Thou knowest my down-sitting and 
 mine up-rising, thou 'understandest my 
 thought afar off. 
 
 3 d Thou || 'searchest my path and my ly- 
 ing down, and art acquainted with all my 
 ways. 
 
 4 For there is not a word on my tongue, 
 but lo, O Jehovah, e thou knowest it "per- 
 fectly. 
 
 5 Thou hast 3 beset me behind and before, 
 and laid thy hand upon me. 
 
 6 f Such knowledge is too wonderful for 
 me ; it is high, I cannot Comprehend it. 
 
 7 s Whither shall I go from thy Spirit ? or 
 whither shall I flee from thy presence ? 
 
 8 *If I ascend up into heaven, thou art 
 there : 'if I make my bed in 6 hell, behold, 
 thou art there. 
 
 9^1 take the wings of the morning, and 
 dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea ; 
 
 10 Even there 6 would thy hand lead me, 
 and thy right hand 7 would hold me. 
 
 11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall 
 cover me ; even the night 8 would be light 
 9 around me. 
 
 12 Yea, *the darkness thideth not from 
 thee; but the night shineth '"like the day: 
 tthe darkness and the light are both alike 
 to thee. 
 
 13 For thou hast "created my reins : thou 
 hast covered me in my mother's womb. 
 
 14 I will praise thee ; for I am fearfully 
 and wonderfully made : I2 wondrous are thy 
 works ; and that my soul knoweth t 13 well. 
 
 15 'My l|substance was not hidden from thee, 
 when I was made in secret, and curiously 
 wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. 
 
 16 Thine eyes did see my ' unformed' sub- 
 stance " ; and in thy book tall my members 
 were written, \\whichm 15 time were fashion- 
 ed, when as yet there K were none of them.

 ' of thee' to me, O God ! how great is the 
 sum of them 1 
 
 18 If I ie would count them, they are more 
 in number than the sand : when I awake, 
 I am still with thee. 
 
 19 Surely thou wilt "slay the wicked, 
 God : "depart from me therefore, ye bloody 
 men. 
 
 20 For they 'speak against thee wickedly, 
 and thine enemies "utter thy name in 
 "falsehood. 
 
 21 'Do not I hate them, Jehovah, who 
 hate thee? and am not I grieved with those 
 who rise up against thee ? 
 
 22 I hate them with perfect hatred ^ac- 
 count them mine enemies.

 1 The use of the proverbs. 7 An exhortation to fear

 contempt. 24 She threateneth her contemners. 
 
 THE "proverbs of Solomon the son of 
 David, king of Israel ; 
 
 2 To know wisdom and instruction; to 
 perceive the words of understanding ; 
 
 3 To 'receive the instruction of wisdom, 
 justice, and judgment, and 'uprightness ; 
 
 4 To give 2 prudence to the 'simple, to the 
 young man knowledge and ||discretion. 
 
 5 d A wise man will hear, and will in- 
 crease learning; and a man of understand- 
 ing 'will obtain wise counsels : 
 
 6 4 By understanding a proverb, and lithe 
 interpretation : the words of the wise, and 
 their 'dark sayings. 
 
 7 If 'The fear of Jehovah is the princi- 
 pal part of knowledge : but fools despise 
 wisdom and instruction. 
 
 8 g My son, hear the instruction of thy fa- 
 ther, and forsake not the teaching of thy 
 mother : 
 
 9 For 'they ''will be 8 a graceful garland to 
 thy head, and chains 9 around thy neck. 
 
 10 If My son, if sinners entice thee., 'con- 
 sent thou not. 
 
 11 If they say, Come with us, let us *lay 
 wait for blood, let us lurk '"privately for 
 the innocent without cause : 
 
 12 Let us swallow them up alive "like 
 the 12 grave; and whole, " 9 like those who 
 go down into the pit : 
 
 13 We shall find all precious substance, 
 we shall fill our houses with spoil: 
 
 14 Cast in thy lot among us ; let us all 
 have one purse : 
 
 15 My son, "walk not thou in the way 
 with them; "refrain thy foot from their 
 path: 
 
 16 "For their feet run to evil, and make 
 haste to shed blood : 
 
 17 Surely in vain the net is spread tin the 
 sight of any bird. 
 
 18 And they lay wait for their own blood ; 
 they lurk "privately for their own lives.

 is greedy of gain ; who taketh away the

 20 If t 5 Wisdom crieth without; she ut- 
 tereth her voice in the streets : 
 
 21 She crieth in the chief place of con- 
 course, in the openings of the gates : in the 
 city she uttereth her words, saying, 
 
 22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love 
 simplicity? and the scorners delight in 
 their scorning, and fools hate knowledge ? 
 
 23 Turn ye at my reproof : behold, r I will 
 
 Eour out my spirit to you, I will make 
 nown my words to you. 
 
 24 If "Because I have called and ye re- 
 fused ; I have stretched out my hand, and 
 no man regarded ; 
 
 25 16 Becauseye'have "rejected all my coun- 
 sel, and 18 would have none of my reproof: 
 
 26 "I also will laugh at your calamity : 1 
 will mock when your fear cometh ; 
 
 27 When *your fear cometh 19 like deso- 
 lation, and your destruction cometh 20 like 
 a whirlwind; when distress and anguish 
 cometh upon you. 
 
 28 "Then 21 will they call upon me, but I 
 will not answer ; they ^will seek me early, 
 but they shall not find me ; 
 
 29 ^Because they z hated knowledge, and 
 did not "choose the fear of Jehovah : 
 
 30 'They 24 liked not my counsel: they 
 .despised all my reproof. 
 
 31 Therefore 'shall they eat of the fruit 
 of their own way, and be filled with their 
 own devices. 
 
 32 For the ||turning away of the simple 
 shall slay them, and the ^carelessness of 
 fools shall destroy them.

 CHAPTER II. 
 
 1 Wisdom promiseth godliness to her children, 10 and 
 safety from evil company, 20 and direction in good 
 ways. 
 
 MY son, if thou wilt receive my words, 
 and "'lay up my commandments with 
 thee; 
 
 437 
 
Jin exhortation to obedience. 
 
 2 2 By inclining thine ear to wisdom, and 
 applying thy heart to understanding; 
 
 3 Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, 
 and tliftestup thy voice for understanding; 
 
 4 If thou seekest her as silver, and 
 searchest for her as for hidden treasures; 
 
 5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of 
 Jehovah, and find the knowledge of God. 
 
 6 'For Jehovah giveth wisdom: out of 
 his mouth cometh knowledge and under- 
 standing. 
 
 7 He layeth up sound wisdom for the 
 righteous: d he is a buckler to them that 
 walk uprightly. 
 
 8 He keepeth the paths of justice, and 
 e preserveth the way of his saints. _ 
 
 9 Then shalt thou understand righteous- 
 ness, and justice, and equity ; yea, every 
 good path. 
 
 10 If When wisdom entereth into thy 
 heart, and knowledge is pleasant to thy 
 soul; 
 
 11 Discretion shall preserve thee, Under- 
 standing shall keep thee: 
 
 12 To deliver thee from the way of the 
 5 wicked, from the man who speaketh per- 
 verse things ; 
 
 13 'From those' who leave the paths of 
 uprightness, to *walk in the ways of dark- 
 ness ; 
 
 14 Who ^rejoice to do evil, and "exult 
 in the 8 perverseness of the wicked ; 
 
 15 'Whose ways are 9 perverse, and they 
 '"wicked in their paths : 
 
 16 To deliver thee from 'the strange wo- 
 man, m even from the stranger who natter- 
 eth with her words ; 
 
 17 "Who forsaketh the "guide of her 
 youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her 
 God. 
 
 18 For "her house inclineth to death, and 
 her paths to the dead. 
 
 19 None who go to her return again, nei- 
 ther 12 do they attain to the paths of life. 
 
 20 That thou mayest walk in the way of 
 good men, and keep the paths of the right- 
 eous. 
 
 21 p For the upright shall dwell in the 
 land, and the "sincere shall remain in it. 
 
 22 'But the wicked shall be cut off from 
 the earth, and the transgressors shall be 
 llrooted out of it. 
 
 CHAPTER III. 
 
 1 An exhortation to obedience, 5 to faith, 7 to morti- 
 fication, 9 to devotion, 11 to patience. 13 The happy 
 gain of wisdom. 19 The power, 21 and the bene- 
 fits of wisdom. 27 An exhortation to charitable- 
 ness, SOpeaceableness, 31 and contentedness. 33 The 
 cursed state of the wicked. 
 
 MY son, forget not my 'instruction; "but 
 let thy heart keep my commandments : 
 
 2 For length of days, and tlong life, and 
 "prosperity shall they add to thee. 
 
 3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee : 
 c bind them about thy neck; d write them 
 upon the tablet of thy heart : 
 
 4 'So shalt thou find favour and good 
 3 success in the sight of God and man. 
 
 5 H / Trust in Jehovah with all thy heart ; 
 *and lean not 4 on thine own understanding. 
 
 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and 
 he 5 will "direct thy paths.

 HEAR, "ye children, the 'admonition of 
 a father, and attend to know under-

 2 For I give you good doctrine, forsake 
 ye not my instruction. 
 
 3 For I was my father's son, 'tender and 
 3 well beloved in the sight of my mother. 
 
 4 c He taught me also, and said to me, Let 
 thy heart retain my words : d keep my com- 
 mandments, and live. 
 
 5 'Get wisdom, get understanding: for- 
 get it not ; neither decline from the words 
 of my mouth. 
 
 6 Forsake her not, and she 4 will preserve 
 thee : -Hove her, and she 5 will keep thee. 
 
 7 ^Wisdom is the principal thing ; there- 
 fore get wisdom : and with all thy getting 
 get understanding. 
 
 8 *Exalt her, and she 6 will promote thee :

 12 When thou goest, 'thy steps shall not

 13 Take fast hold of instruction ; let her 
 not go: keep her; for she is thy life. 
 
 14 f "Enter not into the path of the wick- 
 ed, and go not in the way of evil men. 
 
 15 Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, 
 and pass away. 
 
 16 "For they sleep not, except they have 
 done mischief; and their sleep is taken 
 away, unless they cause some to fall. 
 
 17 For they eat the bread of wickedness, 
 and drink the wine of violence. 
 
 18 ^But the path of the just ''is 13 Iike the

 3 1f Tor the lips of a strange woman drop 
 as 2 with honey, and her tmouth is 'smoother 
 than oil : 
 
 4 But her end is d bitter as wormwood, 
 'sharp as a two-edged sword. 
 
 5 'Her feet go down to death; her steps 
 take hold on 3 hell. 
 
 6 Lest thou shouldest 4 consider the path 
 of life, her ways are moveable, 'so , that 
 thou canst not know them. 
 
 7 Hear me now therefore, O ye children, 
 and depart not from the words of my mouth. 
 
 8 Remove thy way far from her, and come 
 not 5 near the door of her house : 
 
 9 Lest thou give thine honour to others, 
 and thy years to the cruel : 
 
 10 Lest strangers be filled with tthy 
 wealth; and thy labours be in the house 
 of a stranger ; 
 
 11 And thou 6 groan at ' last, when thy 
 flesh and thy body are consumed, 
 
 12 And say, How have I e hated instruc- 
 tion, and my heart "despised reproof; 
 
 13 And have not obeyed the voice of my 
 teachers, nor inclined mine ear to those 
 who instructed me ! 
 
 14 I was almost in all evil in the midst 
 of the congregation and assembly.

 18 Let thy fountain be blessed : and re-

 19 k Let her be as the "lovely ^hind and 
 pleasant ^roe ; let her breasts tsatisfy thee 
 at all times ; and tbe thou ravished always 
 with her love. 
 
 20 And why wilt thou, my son, be ravish- 
 ed with 'a strange woman, and embrace the 
 bosom of a stranger ? 
 
 21 "For the ways of man are before the 
 eyes of Jehovah, and he 13 considereth all 
 his goings. 
 
 22 If "His own iniquities shall take the 
 wicked himself, and he shall be holden 
 with the cords of his sin.

 CHAPTER VI. 
 
 1 Against suretiship, 6 idleness, 12 and mischievous- 
 ness. 16 Seven things hateful to God. 20 The 
 blessings of obedience. 25 The mischiefs of whore- 
 dom. 
 
 MY son, "if thou be surety for thy friend, 
 z/ thou hast 'pledged thy hand with 
 a stranger, 
 
 2 Thou art ensnared with the words of 
 thy mouth, thou art taken with the words 
 of thy mouth. 
 
 3 Do 2 thus, my son, and deliver thyself, 
 when thou art come into the hand of thy 
 friend ; go, humble thyself, and 3 be urgent 
 with thy friend. 
 
 4 'Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slum- 
 ber to thine eye-lids. 
 
 5 Deliver thyself 4 like an antelope from 
 the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from 
 the hand of the fowler. 
 
 6 If 'Go to the ant, thou sluggard ; con- 
 sider her ways, and be wise : 
 
 7 Which having no 'magistrate, officer 
 or ruler, 
 
 439 
 
The mischiefs of whoredom. 
 
 8 Provideth her 6 bread in the summer, 
 and gathereth her food in the harvest. 
 
 9 d How long wilt thou 'lie, O sluggard? 
 when wilt thou arise 8 from thy sleep? 
 
 10 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a 
 little folding of the hands to 9 lie down : 
 
 11 'So "will thy poverty come as one that 
 travelleth, and thy want as an armed man. 
 
 12 If A "worthless person, a wicked man, 
 walketh with a 12 perverse mouth. 
 
 13 ^He winketh with his eyes, he speak - 
 eth with his feet, he teacheth with his fin- 
 gers ; 
 
 14 13 Perverseness is in his heart, e he de- 
 viseth mischief continually ; "he tsoweth 
 discord. 
 
 15 Therefore shall his calamity come sud- 
 denly; suddenly shall he 'be broken *with- 
 out remedy. 
 
 16 H These six things doth Jehovah hate; 
 yea, seven are an abomination tto him : 
 
 17 z tA proud look, m a lying tongue, and 
 "hands that shed innocent blood, 
 
 18 "A heart that "contriveth wicked 15 de- 
 vices, p feet that 16 are swift in running to 
 mischief, 
 
 19 5 A false witness who speaketh lies, and 
 him 'who soweth discord among brethren. 
 
 20 "If 'My son, keep thy father's command- 
 ment, and forsake not the "instruction of 
 thy mother : 
 
 21 'Bind them continually upon thy heart, 
 and tie them about thy neck. 
 
 22 "When thou goest, it 18 will lead thee ; 
 when thou 19 liest down, *it 20 will keep thee ; 
 and when thou awakest, it 2I will talk witli 
 thee. 
 
 23 "For the commandment is a ||lamp ; 
 and ^instruction is light; and reproofs of 
 23 ad monition are the way of life : 
 
 24 *To keep thee from the evil woman, 
 from the flattery ||of the tongue of a strange 
 woman. 
 
 25 o24 Desire not M her beauty in thy heart ; 
 neither let her 26 catch thee with her eye-lids. 
 
 26 For 6 by means of a 27 lewd woman a 
 man is brought to a piece of bread : 'and 
 tthe adulteress will d hunt for the precious 
 life. 
 
 27 Can a man take fire in his bosom, and 
 his clothes not be burned ? 
 
 28 Can 28 a man go on hot coals, and his 
 feet not be 29 scorched ? 
 
 29 So he that goeth in to his neighbour's 
 wife ; whoever toucheth her shall not be 
 '"'unpunished. 
 
 30 Men do not 3I disregard a thief, if he 
 steal to satisfy his 32 appetite when he is 
 hungry ; 
 
 31 ^And if he be found, 'he shall restore 
 seven-fold ; he shall give all the substance 
 of his house. 
 
 32 But whoever committeth adultery 
 with a woman, 'lacketh tunderstanding : 
 he that doeth it, destroyeth his own soul. 
 
 33 A wound and dishonour shall he get ; 
 and his reproach shall not be wiped away. 
 
 34 For jealousy is the rage of a man : 
 therefore he will not spare hi the day of 
 vengeance. 
 
 35 tHe will not regard any ransom ; nei- 
 ther will he rest content, though thou giv- 
 est many gifts.

 ly/TY son, keep my words, and "lay up

 2 4 Keep my commandments, and live; 
 c and my law as the 'pupil of thine eye. 
 
 3 d Bind them upon thy fingers, write them

 4 Say to wisdom, Thou art my sister, and 
 call understanding thy kinswoman: 
 
 5 'That they may keep thee from the 
 strange woman, from the stranger who 
 flattereth with her words. 
 
 6 H For at the windows of my house I 
 looked through my lattice, 
 
 7 And beheld among the simple ones, I 
 discerned among tthe youths, a young man 
 ■'void of understanding, 
 
 8 Passing through the street near her cor- 
 ner ; and he 3 marched the way to her house, 
 
 9 *In the twilight, tin the evening, in the 
 black and 4 gloomy night : 
 
 10 And behold, there met him a woman 
 with the 6 dress of a harlot, and 6 crafty in 
 heart. 
 
 11 (''She is 7 noisy and stubborn ; 'her feet 
 abide not in her house : 
 
 12 Now is she without, now in the streets, 
 and lieth in wait at every corner.) 
 
 13 So she caught him, and kissed him, 
 and twith an impudent face said to him, 
 
 14 ii have 8 thank-ofterings with me ; this 
 day have I paid my vows. 
 
 15 Therefore came I forth to meet thee, 
 diligently to seek thy face, and I have 
 found thee. 
 
 16 I have 9 spread mybed with coverings 10 , 
 with "tapestry, with M2 tapestry of Egypt. 
 
 17 I have perfumed my 13 couch with 
 myrrh, aloes-' wood', and cinnamon. 
 
 18 Come, let us take our fill of love until 
 the morning : let us M enjoy ourselves 16 in 
 love. 
 
 19 For the 16 man is not at home, he is 
 gone a long journey : 
 
 20 He. hath taken a bag of money twith 
 him, and will come home at "full-moon. 
 
 21 With 'her much fair speech she ^al- 
 lured him, '"with the flattering of her lips 
 she 19 seduced him. 
 
 22 He goeth after her 20 suddenly, as an 
 ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the 
 correction of the "fetters ; 
 
 23 Till ^an arrow strike through his liver; 
 "as a bird hasteth to the snare, and know- 
 eth not that it is for his life. 
 
 24 If Hearken to me now therefore, O ye 
 children, and attend to the words of my 
 mouth. 
 
 25 Let not thy heart decline to her ways, 
 go not astray in her paths. 
 
 26 For she hath cast down many wound- 
 ed : yea, "many M are those who have been 
 slain by her. 
 
 27 p Her house is the way to ^heil, going 
 down to the chambers of death.

 3 She *shouteth at the gates, at the 'en-

 custom, 16 and error of folly. 
 
 WISDOM hath 'builded her house, she

 mingled her wine ; she hath also furnished 
 her table. 
 
 3 She hath d sent forth her maidens : 'she

 hither : as for him who wanteth under-

 the wine which I have mingled. 
 
 6 Forsake the foolish, and live ; and go 
 in the way of understanding. 
 
 7 He that reproveth a scorner getteth to 
 himself 'disgrace : and he that rebuketh a 
 wicked man getteth himself a blot. 
 
 8 ,2 Rebuke not a scorner, lest he hate 
 thee : 'rebuke a wise man, and he will love 
 thee. 
 
 9 Give instruction to a wise man, and he 
 will be yet wiser : teach a just man, 'and

 of wisdom: and the knowledge of the 
 3 Holy One is understanding.

 plied, and the years of thy life shall be in- 
 creased.

 13 If pA foolish woman is 5 noisy : she is 
 simple, and knoweth nothing. 
 
 14 For she sitteth at the door of her house, 
 on a seat «in the high places of the city, 
 
 15 To call passengers who go right on 
 their ways : 
 
 16 'Whoever is simple, let him turn in 
 hither: and as for him who wanteth under- 
 standing, she saith to him, 
 
 17 'Stolen waters are sweet, and bread 
 \eaten in secret is pleasant. 
 
 18 But he knoweth not that 'the dead are 
 there; and that her guests are in the 
 depths of 6 hell. 
 
 CHAPTER X. 
 
 From this chapter to the five-and-twentieth are sun- 
 dry observations of moral virtues, and their con- 
 trary vices. 
 
 HHHE proverbs of Solomon. °A wise son 
 -»- niaketh a glad father: but a foolish 
 son is the 'sorrow of his mother. 
 
 2 'Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: 
 but righteousness delivereth from death. 
 
 3 ''Jehovah will not suffer the 3 appetite 
 of the righteous to famish : but he casteth 
 away the 'desire of the wicked. 
 
 4 'He becometh poor who dealeth with a 
 
 441 
 
Moral virtues, and 
 
 slack hand: but'the hand of the diligent 
 maketh rich. 
 
 5 He who gathereth in summer is a wise 
 son : but he who sleepeth in harvest is *a 
 son that causeth shame. 
 
 6 Blessings are on the head of the just : 
 but "violence covereth the mouth of the 
 wicked. 
 
 7 'The memory of the just is blessed : 
 but the name of the wicked shall rot. 
 
 8 The wise in heart will receive com- 
 mandments: *but ta prating fool ||shall fall. 
 
 9 'He who walketh uprightly walketh 
 surely: but he that perverteth his ways 
 shall be known. 
 
 10 m He that winketh with the eye causeth 
 sorrow : "but a prating fool || shall fall. 
 
 11 "The mouth of a righteous man is a 
 fountain of life : but 'violence covereth 
 the mouth of the wicked. 
 
 12 Hatred stirreth up strifes: but 'love 
 covereth all sins. 
 
 13 In the lips of him who hath under- 
 standing wisdom is found: but r a rod is 
 for the back of him who is void of tunder- 
 standing. 
 
 14 Wise men lay up knowledge : but 'the 
 mouth of the foolish is near destruction. 
 
 15 'The rich man's wealth is his strong 
 city : the destruction of the poor is their 
 poverty. 
 
 16 The labour of the righteous tendeth to 
 life : the increase of the wicked to sin. 
 
 17 He is in the way of life who keepeth 
 instruction: but he that refuseth reproof 
 llerreth. 
 
 18 He who hideth hatred with lying lips, 
 and "he that uttereth 6 slander, is a tool. 
 
 19 *In the multitude of words there want- 
 eth not sin : but s he that refraineth his lips 
 is wise. 
 
 20 The tongue of the just is as choice sil- 
 ver : the heart of the wicked is ' of little 
 worth. 
 
 21 The lips of the righteous feed many : 
 but fools die for want tof wisdom. 
 
 22 s The blessing of Jehovah, it maketh 
 rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it. 
 
 23 "It is as sport to a fool to do mischief: 
 but a man of understanding hath wisdom. 
 
 24 4 The fear of the wicked, it shall come 
 upon him : but 'the desire of the righteous 
 shall be granted. 
 
 25 As the whirlwind passeth, d so is the 
 wicked no more : but 'the righteous ''hath 
 an everlasting foundation. 
 
 26 As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke 
 to the eyes, so is the sluggard to those who 
 send him. 
 
 27 'The fear of Jehovah tprolongeth days : 
 but *the years of the wicked shall be short- 
 ened. 
 
 28 The hope of the righteous shall be 
 gladness: but the "expectation of the wick- 
 ed shall perish. 
 
 29 The way of the Lord is strength to 
 the upright: 'but destruction shall be to 
 the workers of iniquity. 
 
 30 *The righteous shall never be removed : 
 but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth. 
 
 , 31 'The mouth of the just bringeth forth 
 wisdom : but the 8 perverse tongue shall be 
 cut out. 
 
 32 The lips of the righteous know what 
 is acceptable : but the mouth of the wicked 
 speaketh 9 perverseness.

 2 "When pride cometh, then cometh 'dis-

 3 'The integrity of the upright shall guide

 sors shall destroy them. 
 
 4 ''Riches profit not in the day of wrath : 
 but 'righteousness delivereth from death. 
 
 5 The righteousness of the Sincere shall 
 tdirect his way : but the wicked shall fall 
 by his own wickedness. 
 
 6 The righteousness of the upright shall 
 deliver them : but * transgressors shall be 
 taken in their own 'wickedness. 
 
 7 ff When a wicked man dieth, his ex- 
 pectation shall perish: and the hope of 
 unjust men perisheth. 
 
 8 The righteous is delivered out of trou- 
 ble, and the wicked cometh in his stead. 
 
 9 A •hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth 
 his neighbour: but through knowledge shall 
 the just be delivered. 
 
 10 * 4 In the prosperity of the righteous the 
 city rejoiceth : and when the wicked pe- 
 rish, there is shouting. 
 
 11 'By the blessing of the upright the city 
 is exalted: but it is overthrown by the 
 mouth of the wicked. 
 
 12 He who is tvoid of wisdom despiseth 
 his neighbour : but a man of understanding

 rit concealeth the matter. 
 
 14 "Where 5 there is no wise management, 
 the people fall: but in the multitude of 
 counsellors there is safety. 
 
 15 "He that is surety for a stranger tshall 
 6 sufter for it : and he that hateth tsureti- 
 ship is sure.

 17 'The '"kind man doeth good to his own 
 soul : but he who is cruel troubleth his 
 own flesh. 
 
 18 The wicked worketh a deceitful work : 
 but to him who soweth righteousness shall 
 be a sure reward. 
 
 19 As righteousness tendeth to life: so he 
 that pursueth evil piirsueth it to his own 
 death. 
 
 20 Those who are of a "perverse heart

 EVERY "wise woman 4 buildeth her 
 house : but the foolish plucketh it 
 down with her hands. 
 
 2 He that walketh in his uprightness fear- 
 eth Jehovah : 'but he who is perverse in 
 his ways, despiseth him. 
 
 3 In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of 
 pride : d but the lips of the wise shall pre- 
 serve them. 
 
 4 Where no oxen are, the crib is clean : 
 but much increase is by the strength of 
 the ox. 
 
 5 'A faithful witness will not lie: but a 
 false witness will utter lies. 
 
 6 A scorner seeketh wisdom, hmdjindeth 
 it not : but / knowledge is easy to him who 
 understandeth. 
 
 7 Go from the presence of a foolish man, 
 when thou perceivest not in him the lips 
 of knowledge. 
 
 8 The wisdom of the prudent is to un- 
 derstand his way: but the folly of fools is 
 deceit. 
 
 9 E Fools make a mock at sin : but among 
 the righteous there is favour. 
 
 10 The heart knoweth tits own bitterness ; 
 and a stranger doth not intermeddle with 
 its joy. 
 
 1 1 "The house of the wicked shall be over- 
 thrown : but the 'tent of the upright shall 
 flourish. 
 
 12 'There is a way which seemeth right 
 to a man, but Hhe end thereof is the ways 
 of death. 
 
 13 Even in laughter the heart is sorrow- 
 ful ; and 'the end of that mirth is heaviness. 
 
 14 The backslider in heart shall be "fill- 
 ed with his own ways : and a good man 
 shall be satisfied 2 with his ways. 
 
 15 The simple believeth every word: but 
 the prudent man 3 considereth his going. 
 
 16 "A wise man feareth, and departeth 
 from evil : but the fool rageth, and is con- 
 fident. 
 
 17 He who is soon angry dealeth foolish- 
 ly : and a man of wicked devices is hated. 
 
 18 The simple inherit folly: but the pru- 
 dent are crowned with knowledge. 
 
 19 The evil bow before the good: and the 
 wicked at the gates of the righteous. 
 
 20 "The poor is hated even 4 by his own 
 neighbour : but tthe rich hath many friends. 
 
 21 He who despiseth his neighbour sin- 
 neth : p but he that hath mercy on the poor, 
 happy is he. 
 
 22 Do they not err who devise evil ? but 
 'kindness and faithfulness shall be to them 
 that devise good. 
 
 23 In all labour there is profit : but the 
 talk of the lips tendeth only to 7 want.

 BETTER is "a dry morsel, and quiet-

 10 ||A reproot entereth more into a wise

 11 An evil man seeketh only rebellion : 
 therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent

 12 Let *a bear robbed of her whelps meet 
 a man, rather than a fool in his folly. 
 
 13 Whoever ' rewardeth evil for good,

 contention, before it "be meddled with. 
 
 15 "He who justifieth the wicked, and he

 also contempt, and with ignominy reproach. 
 
 4 °The words of a man's mouth are Hike

 29 The glory of you ng men is their strength : 
 and "the Deauty of old men is the gray head. 
 
 30 The 24 marks of a wound T^cleanse 
 away evil : so do stripes the inward parts 
 of the M body. 
 
 CHAPTER XXI. 
 
 THE king's heart is in the hand of Je- 
 hovah, as the rivers of water : he 
 turneth it whithersoever he will. 
 
 2 "Every way of a man is right in his own 
 eyes : 'but Jehovah pondereth the hearts. 
 
 3 'To do justice and 'equity is more ac- 
 ceptable to Jehovah than sacrifice. 
 
 4 d tA high look, and a proud heart, and 
 ||the prosperity of the wicked, is sin. 
 
 5 'The Mevices of the diligent tend only 
 to plenteousness ; but of every one that is 
 hasty, only to want. 
 
 6 'The getting of treasures by a lying 
 tongue is a vanity 4 swept away of them 
 that seek death. 
 
 7 The Oppression of the wicked shall 
 tdestroy them ; because they refuse to do 
 'justice. 
 
 447 
 
Moral virtues, and 
 
 8 The way of man is 'perverse and 'un- 
 lawful: but as for the pure, his work is 
 right. 
 
 9 e It is better to dwell in a corner of the 
 house-top, than with ta brawling woman 
 in ta 9 large house. 
 
 10 The soul of the wicked desireth evil : 
 his neighbour tfmdeth no favour in his eyes. 
 
 11 'When the scorner is punished, the 
 simple is made wise : and when the wise 
 is instructed, he receiveth knowledge. 
 
 12 The righteous man wisely considereth 
 the house of the wicked : but God over- 
 throweth the wicked for their wickedness. 
 
 13 * Whoever stoppeth his ears at the 
 cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, 
 but shall not be heard. 
 
 14 'A gift in secret pacifieth anger: and a 
 reward in the bosom, "Violent wrath. 
 
 15 It is joy to the just to do judgment : 
 m but destruction shall be to the workers 
 of iniquity. 
 
 16 The man that wandereth "from the 
 way of understanding shall remain in the 
 congregation of the dead. 
 
 17 He who loveth Upleasure shall be a 
 poor man : he who loveth wine and oil 
 shall not be rich. 
 
 18 "The wicked shall be a ransom for the 
 righteous, and the transgressor for the 
 upright. 
 
 19 "It is better to dwell tin the "desert, 
 than with a contentious and 13 a fretful 
 woman. 
 
 20 f There is treasure to be desired, and 
 oil in the dwelling of the wise : but a fool- 
 ish man 14 squandereth it. 
 
 21 'He who followeth after righteousness 
 and ls kindness, findeth life, righteousness, 
 and honour. 
 
 22 'A wise man scaleth the city of the 
 mighty, and casteth down the strength of 
 the confidence thereof. 
 
 23 'Whoever keepeth his mouth and his 
 tongue, keepeth his soul from troubles. 
 
 24 Proud and haughty scorner is his 
 name, who dealeth tin proud wrath. 
 
 25 'The ^longing of the slothful killeth 
 him ; for his hands refuse to labour. 
 
 26 He covetefh greedily all the day long: 
 but the "righteous giveth and spareth not. 
 
 27 The sacrifice of the wicked is abomi- 
 nation : how much more, when he bringeth 
 it twith a wicked mind ? 
 
 28 »tA false witness shall perish: but the 
 man that heareth, speaketh "honestly. 
 
 29 A wicked man hardeneth his face: 
 but as for the upright, he ||directeth his 
 way. 
 
 30 'There is no wisdom nor understand- 
 ing nor counsel against Jehovah. 
 
 31 "The horse is prepared against the day 
 of battle : but ft ||safety is 18 from Jehovah. 
 
 CHAPTER XXII. 
 
 A a GOOD name is rather to be chosen 
 than great riches, and llloving favour 
 rather than silver and gold. 
 
 2 The rich and poor meet together: 'Je- 
 hovah is the maker of them all. 
 
 3 d A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and 
 hideth himself: but the simple pass on, 
 and are punished. 
 
 4 el The reward of humility and the fear 
 of Jehovah is riches, and honour, and life.

 CHAPTER XXIV. 
 
 BE not thou "envious against evil men, 
 ''neither desire to be with them : 
 
 2 'For their heart studieth destruction, 
 and their lips talk of mischief. 
 
 3 'By wisdom is a house builded ; and by 
 understanding it is established: 
 
 4 And by knowledge shall the chambers 
 be filled with all precious and pleasant 
 riches. 
 
 5 d A wise man Us strong ; yea, a man of 
 knowledge tincreaseth strength. 
 
 6 'For by wise Management thou shalt 
 make thy war: and in 'a' multitude of 
 counsellors there is safety. 
 
 7 'Wisdom is too high for a fool : he 
 openeth not his mouth in the gate. 
 
 8 He that y deviseth to do evil shall be 
 called a mischievous person. 
 
 9 The thought of foolishness is sin : and 
 the scorner is an abomination to men. 
 
 10 If thou faint in the day of adversity, 
 thy strength is tsmall. 
 
 11 ft If thou forbear to deliver those who 
 are drawn to death, and those who are 
 ready to be slain ; 
 
 12 If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it 
 not ; doth not 'he who pondereth the heart 
 consider it? and he who keepeth thy soul, 
 doth not he know it? and shall not he 
 render to every man 'according to his works ? 
 
 13 My son, 'eat thou honey, because it is 
 good ; and the 3 dropping-honey, which is 
 sweet tto thy taste : 
 
 14 m So shall the knowledge of wisdom be 
 to thy soul: when thou hast found it, "then 
 there shall be a reward, and thine expec- 
 tation shall not be cut off. 
 
 15 "Lav not wait, O wicked man, against 
 the dwelling of the righteous; 4 destroy not 
 his resting-place : 
 
 16 p For a just man falleth seven times, 
 and riseth up again : 'but the wicked shall 
 5 stumble into mischief. 
 
 17 'Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, 
 and let not thy heart be glad when he 
 stumbleth : 
 
 18 Lest Jehovah see it, and tit displease 
 him, and he turn away his wrath from him. 
 
 19 "||Fret not thyself because of evil men, 
 neither be thou envious at the wicked ; 
 
 20 For 'there shall be no reward to the 
 evil man ; "the 6 lamp of the wicked shall 
 be put out. 
 
 21 My son, *fear thou Jehovah and the 
 king : and meddle not with tthose who are 
 given to change : 
 
 22 For their calamity shall rise suddenly ; 
 and who knoweth the ruin of them both ? 
 
 23 These things also belong to the wise. 
 y It is not good to have respect of persons 
 in judgment. 
 
 24 z He that saith to the wicked, Thou 
 art 'just ; him shall the people curse, na- 
 tions shall abhor him : 
 
 25 But to those who rebuke him shall be 
 delight, and ta good blessing shall come 
 upon them. 
 
 26 Every man 8 will kiss his lips tthat 
 giveth a right answer. 
 
 27 c Prepare thy work without, and make 
 
Maxims and observations 
 
 it fit for thyself in the field; and after- 
 wards build thy house. 
 
 28 'Be not a witness against thy neigh- 
 bour without cause ; and deceive not with 
 thy lips. 
 
 29 'Say not, I will do so to him as he hath 
 done to me : I will render to the man ac- 
 cording to his 9 deed. 
 
 30 I went by the field of the slothful, and 
 by the vineyard of the man void of under- 
 standing ; 
 
 31 And lo, "'it was all grown over with 
 thorns, and nettles had covered the face 
 thereof, and the stone wall thereof was 
 broken down. 
 
 32 Then I saw, and tconsidered it well : 
 I looked upon it, and received instruction. 
 
 33 e Fet a little sleep, a little slumber, a 
 little folding of the hands to 10 lie down : 
 
 34 So "will thy poverty come as one that 
 travelleth; and thy want 12 like tan armed 
 man. 
 
 CHAPTER XXV. 
 
 1 Observations about kings, 8 and about avoiding 
 causes of quarrels, and sundry causes thereof. 
 
 °rpHESE are also proverbs of Solomon, 
 J- which the men of Hezekiah king of 
 Judah copied out. 
 
 2 b Jt is the glory of God to conceal a 
 thing: but the honour of kings is 'to search 
 out a matter. 
 
 3 The heaven for height, and the earth 
 for depth, and the heart of kings tis un- 
 searchable. 
 
 4 d Take away the dross from the silver, 
 and there shall come forth a vessel for the 
 refiner. 
 
 5 'Take away the wicked from before the 
 king, and -fhis throne shall be established 
 in righteousness. 
 
 6 trut not forth thyself in the presence 
 of the king, and stand not in the place of 
 great men : 
 
 7 f For better it is that it be said to thee, 
 Come up hither ; than that thou shouldest 
 be put lower in the presence of the prince 
 whom thine eyes have seen. 
 
 8 *Go not forth hastily to strive, lest thou 
 know not what to do in the end thereof, 
 when thy neighbour hath put thee to shame. 
 
 9 'Debate thy cause with thy neighbour 
 himself; and ildiscover not a secret to an- 
 other : 
 
 10 Lest he who heareth it put thee to 
 shame, and thine infamy turn not away. 
 
 11 * A word t 'seasonably spoken is like 
 apples of gold in pictures of silver. 
 
 12 As an ear-ring of gold, and an orna- 
 ment of fine gold, so is a wise reprover 
 upon an obedient ear. 
 
 13 'As the cold of snow in the time of 
 harvest, so is a faithful messenger to them 
 that send him : for he refresheth the soul 
 of his masters. 
 
 14 m Whoever boasteth himself tof a 
 false gift is like "clouds and wind without 
 2 a shower. 
 
 15 "By long forbearing is a prince per- 
 suaded, and a soft tongue breaketh 3 a bone. 
 
 16 ? Hast thou found noney ? eat 4 as much 
 as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled 
 therewith, and 5 cast it up. 
 
 \7 6 Let thy foot be seldom in thy neigh- 
 bour's house ; lest he be tweary of thee, 
 and so hate thee.

 CHAPTER XXVI. 
 
 1 Observations about fools, 13 about sluggards, 17 and 
 about contentious busybodies. 
 
 AS snow in summer, "and as rain in har- 
 vest ; so honour is not 'becoming for 
 a fool. 
 
 2 As the bird by wandering, as the swal- 
 low by flying, so 'the curse causeless shall 
 not come. 
 
 3 'A whip for the horse, a bridle for the 
 ass, and a rod for the fool's back. 
 
 4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, 
 lest thou also be like 2 him. 
 
 5 ''Answer a fool according to his folly, 
 lest he be wise in this own conceit. 
 
 6 He that sendeth a message by the hand 
 of a fool cutteth off the feet, and drinketh 
 lldamage. 
 
 7 The legs of the lame are not equal : so 
 is a parable in the mouth of fools. 
 
 8 4 Like a purse of gems in a heap of 
 stones, so is he who giveth honour to a fool. 
 
 9 As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a 
 drunkard, so is a parable in the mouth of 
 fools. 
 
 10 ||The great God who formed all things 
 both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth 
 transgressors. 
 
 11 'As a dog returneth to his vomit, f so a 
 fool treturneth to his folly. 
 
 12 ^Seest thou a man wise in his own 
 conceit ? there is more hope of a fool than 
 of him. 
 
 13 The slothful man saith, There is a 
 lion in the way ; a lion is in the streets. 
 
 14 As the door turneth on its hinges, so 
 doth the slothful on his bed. 
 
 15 'The slothful hideth his hand in 5 the 
 dish ; ||it grieveth him to bring it again to 
 his mouth. 
 
 16 The sluggard is wiser in his own con- 
 ceit than seven men who can render a 
 reason. 
 
 17 He that passeth by, and Jmeddleth 
 with strife belonging not to him, is like 
 one that taketh a dog by the ears. 
 
Maxima and observations 
 
 CHAPTERS XXVII. XXVIII. 
 
 of Solomon. 
 
 18 As a mad man who casteth "fiery 
 darts, arrows, and death, 
 
 19 Sp is the man who deceiveth his neigh- 
 bour, and saith, 'Am not I in sport? 
 
 20 tWhere no wood is, there the fire go- 
 eth out: so 'where there is no ||tale-bearer, 
 the strife tceaseth. 
 
 21 m As coals are to burning coals, and 
 wood to fire ; so is a contentious man to 
 kindle strife. 
 
 22 "The words of a tale-bearer are 'like 
 dainty morsels, and they go down into the 
 "(innermost parts of the 8 stomach. 
 
 23 Burning lips and a wicked heart are 
 like a potsherd covered with silver dross. 
 
 24 He that hateth, ||dissembleth with his 
 lips, and layeth up deceit within him ; 
 
 25 "When he tspeaketh fair, believe him 
 not: for there are seven abominations in 
 his heart. 
 
 26 || Whose hatred is covered by deceit, 
 his wickedness shall be shewed before the 
 whole congregation. 
 
 27 p Whoever diggeth a pit shall fall 
 therein : and he that rolleth a stone, it will 
 return upon him. 
 
 28 A lying tongue hateth those who are 
 afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth 
 worketh ruin. 
 
 CHAPTER XXVII. 
 
 1 Observations of self-love, 5 of trite love, 11 of care 
 to avoid offences, 23 and of the household care. 
 
 BOAST "not thyself of tto-morrow; for 
 thou knowest not what a day may 
 bring forth. 
 
 2 'Let another man praise thee, and not 
 thine own mouth; a stranger, and not 
 thine own lips. 
 
 3 A stone is theavy.and the sand weighty; 
 but a fool's wrath is heavier than 'either 
 of them. 
 
 4 tWrath is cruel, and anger, is outrage- 
 ous ; but 'who is able to stand before ||envy ? 
 
 5 d Open rebuke is better than secret love. 
 
 6 'Faithful are the wounds of a friend ; 
 but the kisses of an enemy are ||deceitful. 
 
 7 The 2 full-fed person tloatheth 3 drop- 
 ping-honey ; but *to the hungry 4 person 
 every bitter thing is sweet. 
 
 8 As a bird that wandereth from her nest, 
 so is a man that wandereth from his place. 
 
 9 Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: 
 so doth the sweetness of a man's friend 
 tby hearty counsel. 
 
 10 Thine own friend, and thy father's 
 friend, forsake not ; neither go into thy 
 brother's house in the day of thy calamity : 
 for ^better is a neighbour who is near, than 
 a brother far off". 
 
 11 "My son, be wise, and make my heart 
 glad , 'that I may answer him who reproach - 
 eth me. 
 
 12 *A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and 
 hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and 
 are punished. 
 
 13 'Take his garment that is surety for a 
 stranger, and take a pledge of him for a 
 strange woman. 
 
 14 He who blesseth his friend with a 
 loud voice, rising early in the morning, it 
 shall be counted a curse to him. 
 
 15 m A continual dropping in a very rainy 
 day and a contentious woman are alike. 
 
 16 Whoever hideth her, hideth the wind, 
 and the ointment of his right hand which 
 betrayeth itself.

 General observations of impiety and religious inte-

 THE "wicked flee when no man pursu- 
 eth : but the righteous are ' as' bold 
 as a lion. 
 
 2 For the transgression of a land many 
 are the princes thereof: but ||by a man of 
 understanding and knowledge the state 
 thereof shall be prolonged. 
 
 3 'A poor man who oppresseth the poor 
 is like a sweeping rain twhich leavetn no 
 food. 
 
 4 'They that forsake the law praise the 
 wicked : ''but such as keep the law contend 
 with them. 
 
 5 'Evil men understand not 'justice : but 
 'those who seek Jehovah understand all 
 things. 
 
 6 ^Better is the poor who walketh in his 
 uprightness, than he that is perverse in his 
 ways, though he be rich. 
 
 7 * Whoever keepeth the law is a wise 
 son : but he that If is a companion of pro- 
 digal men shameth his father. 
 
 8 'He that by ^taking interest and tunjust 
 gain increaseth his substance, he shall ga- 
 ther it for him that will pity the poor. 
 
 9 *He who turneth away his ear from 
 hearing the law, 'even his prayer shall be 
 ' an' abomination. 
 
 10 m Whoever causeth the righteous to 
 go astray in an evil way, he shall fall him- 
 self into his own pit : "but the upright shall 
 have good things in possession. 
 
 11 The rich man is wise tin his own "opi- 
 nion ; but the poor that hath understand- 
 ing searcheth him out. 
 
 12 "When righteous men do rejoice, there 
 is great glory : but when the wicked rise, 
 a man 5 hideth himself. 
 
 13 'He who covereth his sins shall not 
 prosper: but whoever confesseth and 
 forsaketh them shall have mercy. 
 
 14 Happy is the man 'that feareth always : 
 'but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall 
 into mischief.

 'so is a wicked ruler over the poor people.

 ing is also a great oppressor : but he who

 CHAPTER XXX. 
 
 1 Agur's confession of his faith. 7 The two points 
 of his prayer. 10 The meanest are not to be wrong- 
 ed. 11 Four wicked generations. 15 Four things 
 insatiable. 17 Parents are not to be despised. 
 18 Four things hard to be known. 21 Four things 
 intolerable. 24 Four things exceeding wise. 
 29 Four things stately. 32 Wrath is to be pre- 
 ■ vented. 
 
 THE words of Agur the son of Jakeh, 
 even "the prophecy : the man spoke to 
 Ithiel, even to Ithiel and Ucal, 
 
 2 'Surely I am more 'stupid than any 
 man, and have not the understanding of a 
 man. 
 
 3 I neither learned wisdom, nor thad the 
 knowledge of the 2 saints. 
 
 4 c Who hath ascended 3 into heaven, or 
 descended ? ''who hath gathered the wind 
 in his fists ? who hath bound the waters 
 in a "mantle ? who hath established all the 
 ends of the earth ? what is his name, and 
 what is his son's name, if thou canst tell ? 
 
 5 'Every word of God is tpure : 'he is a 
 6 buckler to those who s trust in him. 
 
 6 e Add thou not to his words, lest he re- 
 prove thee, and thou be found a liar. 
 
 7 Two things have I required of thee ; 
 tdeny me them not before I die : 
 
 8 Remove far from me vanity and lies ; 
 give me neither poverty nor riches ; feed 
 me with food t Sufficient for me : 
 
 9 'Lest I be full, and tdeny thee, and say. 
 Who is Jehovah ? or lest I be poor, and 
 
Maxims and observations of Solomon. CHAPTER XXXI 
 
 steal, and 8 use the name of my God in 
 vain. 
 
 10 t'°Slander not a servant to his master, 
 lest he curse thee, and thou be found guilty. 
 
 11 Tfiere is a generation that curseth 
 their father, and doth not bless their mother. 
 
 12 There is. a generation ''that are pure in 
 their own eyes, and yet is not washed from 
 their filthiness. 
 
 13 There is a generation, O how 'lofty are 
 their eyes ! and their eye-lids are lifted up. 
 
 14 m There is a generation, whose teeth 
 are Hike swords, and their jaw-teeth l Hike 
 knives, "to devour the poor from off' the 
 earth, and the needy from among men. 
 
 15 The ' s blood-sucker hath two daugh- 
 ters, crying, Give, give. There are three 
 things ivhich are never satisfied, yea, four 
 things say not, Mt is enough : 
 
 16 "The "grave ; and the barren womb ; 
 the earth that is not filled with water; and 
 the fire that saith not, It is enough. 
 
 17 'The eye that mocketh at his father, 
 and despiseth to obey his mother, the ra- 
 vens of ||the valley shall pick it out, and 
 the young eagles shall eat it. 
 
 18 There ,5 are three things ' 6 too wonder- 
 ful for me, yea, four which I know not : 
 
 19 The way of an eagle in the air; the 
 way of a serpent upon a rock ; the way of 
 a ship in the tmidst of the sea ; and the 
 way of a man with a maid. 
 
 20 Such is the way of an adulterous wo- 
 man ; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, 
 and saith, I have done no wickedness. 
 
 21 For three things the earth is disquiet- 
 ed, and for four which it cannot bear : 
 
 22 'For a servant when he reigneth ; and 
 a fool when he is filled with "food ; 
 
 23 For an odious woman when she is 
 married; and a handmaid that is heir to 
 her mistress. 
 
 24 There ,8 are four things which are little 
 on the earth, but they are texceedingly 
 wise : 
 
 25 'The ants are a people not strong, yet 
 they prepare their meat in the summer; 
 
 26 'The 19 conies are but a feeble 20 people, 
 yet make they their houses in the rocks ; 
 
 27 The locusts have no king, yet go they 
 forth all of them tby bands ; 
 
 28 The "lizard taketh hold with her 
 hands, and is in kings' palaces. 
 
 29 There ^are three things which go 
 well, yea, four are comely in going: 
 
 30 A lion, which is strongest among 
 beasts, and turneth not away for any ; 
 
 31 A 23 harnessed war-horse ; a he-goat 
 also; and a king M in the midst of his people. 
 
 32 If thou hast done foolishly in lifting 
 up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, Hay 
 thy hand upon thy mouth. 
 
 33 Surely the churning of milk bringeth 
 forth butter, and the wringing of the nose 
 bringeth forth blood: so the forcing of 
 wrath bringeth forth strife.

The vanity of all 
 
 ECCLESIASTES. 
 
 human courses. 
 
 TT ECCLESIASTES; OR, THE PREACHER. 
 
 * 
 
 CHAPTER I, 
 
 1 The preacher sheweth that all human courses are 
 vain : 4 because the creatures are restless in their 
 courses, 9 they bring forth nothing new, and all 
 old things are forgotten, 12 and because he hath 
 found it so in the studies of wisdom. 
 
 r pHE words "of the Preacher, the son 
 -*- of David, king of Jerusalem. 
 
 2 'Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, 
 vanity of vanities ; c all is vanity. 
 
 3 d W hat profit hath a man 'from all his 
 labour which he taketh under the sun? 
 
 4 One generation passeth away, and an- 
 other generation cometh: 'but the earth 
 abideth for ever. 
 
 5 f The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth 
 down, and thasteth to his place where he 
 arose. 
 
 6 «The wind goeth towards the south, and 
 turneth about to the north ; it whirleth 
 about continually, and the wind returneth 
 again 2 in its circuits. 
 
 7 *A11 the 'streams run into the sea; yet 
 the sea is not full : to the place from whence 
 the rivers come, thither they treturn again. 
 
 8 All things are full of labour ; man can- 
 not utter it: 'the eye is not satisfied with 
 seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing. 
 
 9 *The thing that hath been, it is that 
 which shall be ; and that which is done is 
 that which shall be done : and there is no 
 new thing under the sun. 
 
 10 Is there any thing of which it may be 
 said, See, this is new ? it hath been former- 
 ly of 5 ancient time, which was before us. 
 
 11 There is no remembrance of former 
 things ; neither shall there be any remem- 
 brance of things which are to come with 
 those which shall come after. 
 
 12 If ! I the Preacher was king over Israel 
 in Jerusalem. 
 
 13 And I gave my heart to seek and 
 search out by wisdom concerning all things 
 which are done under heaven : m this Use- 
 less toil hath God given to the sons of man 
 ||to be exercised therewith. 
 
 14 I have seen all the works which are 
 done under the sun ; and behold, all is va- 
 nity and vexation of spirit. 
 
 15 "That which is crooked cannot be 
 made straight : and tthat which is wanting 
 cannot be numbered. 
 
 16 I 'spoke with mine own heart, saying, 
 Lo, I am come to great estate, and have 
 8 gathered "more wisdom than all those who 
 have been before me in Jerusalem : yea, 
 my heart thad great experience of wisdom 
 and knowledge. 
 
 17 'And I gave my heart to know wis- 
 dom, and to know madness and folly : I 
 perceived that this also is vexation of spirit. 
 
 18 For «in much wisdom is much 'trouble : 
 and he who increaseth knowledge increas- 
 eth sorrow. 
 
 CHAPTER II. 
 
 1 The vanity of human courses in the works of plea- 
 sure. 12 Though the wise be better than the fool, 
 yet both have one event. 18 The vanity of human 
 labour, in leaving it they know not to whom. 
 24 Nothing better than joy in our labour ; but that 
 is God's gift. 
 
 a T SAID in my heart, Go * now, I will 
 -*- 2 try thee with mirth ; therefore enjoy 
 pleasure : and behold, 'this also is vanity.

 2 e I said of laughter, It is mad : and of 
 mirth, What doeth it ? 
 
 3 d I sought in my heart tto "strengthen 
 myself 4 with wine, yet acquainting my 
 heart with wisdom; and to lay hold on 
 folly, till I might see what loas that good 
 for the sons of men, which they should do 
 under the heaven tall the days of their life. 
 
 4 I made me great works ; 1 6 built my- 
 self houses ; I planted Myself vineyards : 
 
 5 I made 7 myself gardens and orchards, 
 and I planted trees in them of all hind of 
 fruits : 
 
 6 I made me pools of water, to water 
 therewith the 8 forest that bringeth forth 
 trees : 
 
 7 I got 9 servants and maidens, and had 
 tservants born in my house; also I had 
 great possessions of great and small cattle 
 above all who were in Jerusalem before me ; 
 
 8 e I gathered "myself also silver and gold, 
 and the peculiar treasure of kings, and of 
 the provinces: I got "myself men -singers 
 and women-singers, and the delights of 
 the sons of men, w a wife, even many wives. 
 
 9 So ^1 was great, and increased more 
 than all that were before me in' Jerusalem: 
 also my wisdom remained with me. 
 
 10 And whatever 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 s this was my portion 
 of all my labour. 
 
 11 Then I looked on all the works which 
 my hands had wrought, and on the labour 
 which I had laboured to do: and behold, 
 all was Vanity and vexation of spirit, and 
 there was no profit under the sun. 
 
 12 If And I turned myself to behold wis- 
 dom, 'and madness, and folly : for what 
 can the man do who cometh after the king ? 
 \\even that which hath been "formerly done. 
 
 13 Then I saw tthat wisdom excelleth 
 folly, as far as light excelleth darkness. 
 
 14 The wise man's eyes are in his head ; 
 but the fool walketh in darkness: and I 
 myself perceived also that 'one event hap- 
 peneth to them all. 
 
 15 Then said I in my heart, As it hap- 
 peneth to the fool, so itthappeneth even to 
 me ; and why was I then more wise ? Then 
 I said in my heart, that this also is vanity. 
 
 16 For there is no remembrance of the 
 wise more than of the fool for ever ; see- 
 ing ' that' that which now is in the days to 
 come "will all be forgotten. And how 
 dieth the wise man? 15 like the fool. 
 
 17 Therefore I hated life ; because the 
 work which is wrought under the sun is 
 grievous to me : for all is vanity and vexa- 
 tion of spirit. 
 
 18 If Yea, I hated all my labour which I 
 hadttaken under the sun : because m I should 
 leave it to the man who 16 will be after me. 
 
 19 And who knoweth whether he "will 
 be a wise man or a fool ? yet 18 will he ,9 
 rule over all my labour wherein I have la- 
 boured, and wherein I have shewed my- 
 self wise under the sun. This is also va- 
 nity. 
 
 20 Therefore I went about to cause my 
 heart to despair of all the labour which I 
 *°had taken under the sun. 
 
Ji season for every thing. 
 
 CHAPTERS III. IV. 
 
 Vanity through oppression, fyc. 
 
 21 For there is a man whose labour is in 
 wisdom, and in knowledge, and in 21 profit; 
 yet to a man who hath not laboured there- 
 in a will he tleave it for his portion. This 
 also is vanity and a great evil. 
 
 22 "For what hath man of all his labour, 
 and of the "striving of his heart, wherein 
 he hath laboured under the sun ? 
 
 23 For all his days are "sorrows, and his 
 24 toil grief; yea, his heart taketh not rest 
 in the night. This is also vanity. 
 
 24 f p There is nothing better for a man 
 than that he should eat and drink, and that 
 he ||should make his soul enjoy good in his 
 labour. This also I saw, that it was from 
 the hand of God. 
 
 25 For who can eat, or who else can hasten 
 hereunto more than I ? 
 
 26 For God giveth to a man who is good 
 tin his sight, wisdom, and knowledge, and 
 joy : but to the sinner he giveth "toil, to 
 gather and to heap up, that »he may give 
 to him who is good before God. This also 
 is vanity and vexation of spirit. 
 
 CHAPTER III. 
 
 1 By the necessary change of times, vanity is added. 
 to human travail. 11 There is an excellency in 
 God's works. 16 But as for man, God shall judge 
 his works there, and here he shall be like a beast. 
 
 TO every thing there is a 'plan, and a 
 "time 2 for every 3 afFair under the hea- 
 ven: 
 
 2 A time tto be born, and l a time to die ; 
 a time to plant, and a time to pluck up 
 that which is planted ; 
 
 3 A time to kill, and a time to heal ; a 
 time to break down, and a time to build up; 
 
 4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh ; 
 a time to mourn, and a time to dance ; 
 
 5 A time to cast away stones, and a time 
 to gather stones together ; a time to em- 
 brace, and 'a. time tto refrain from embrac- 
 ing; 
 
 6 A time to ||get, and a time to lose ; a 
 time to keep, and a time to cast away ; 
 
 7 A time to rend, and a time to sew ; d & 
 time to keep silence, and a time to speak ; 
 
 8 A time to love, and a time to "hate ; a 
 time of war, and a time of peace. 
 
 9 •''What profit hath he that worketh in 
 that wherein he laboureth ? 
 
 10 S I have seen the 4 toil, which God hath 
 given to the sons of men to be exercised 
 in it. 
 
 11 He hath made every thing beautiful 
 in its time: also he hath set the 'love of 
 the* world in their heart, so that A no man 
 can find out the work which God maketh 
 from the beginning to the end. 
 
 12 *I know that there is no good in them, 
 but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in 
 his life. 
 
 13 And also *that every man should eat 
 and drink, and enjoy the good of all his 
 labour ; it is the gift of God. 
 
 14 I know that, whatever God doeth, 
 it shall be for ever: 'nothing can be put to 
 it, nor any thing taken from it : and God 
 doeth it, that men should fear before him. 
 
 15 m That which hath been is now; and 
 that which is to be hath already been; and 
 God requireth tthat which is past. 
 
 16 If And moreover "I saw under the sun 
 the place of justice, that wickedness was 
 there ; and the place of righteousness, that 
 iniquity was there.

 17 I said in my heart, "God shall judge 
 the righteous and the wicked: for there is 
 ""a time there for every 6 afiair and for every 
 work. 
 
 18 I said in my heart concerning the 
 'condition of the sons of men, ||that God 
 might 8 examine them, and that they might 
 see that they themselves are beasts. 
 
 19 'For that which befalleth the sons of 
 men befalleth beasts ; even one thing be- 
 falleth them: as the one dieth, so diem the 
 other; yea, they have all one breath; so 
 that a man hath no pre-eminence above a 
 beast : for all is vanity. 
 
 20 All go to one place ; 'all are 9 from the 
 dust, and all turn to dust again. 
 
 21 'Who knoweth the spirit tof man that 
 tgoeth upward, and the spirit of the beast 
 that goeth downward to the earth ? 
 
 22 ^Wherefore I perceive that there is 
 nothing better, than that a man should re- 
 joice in his own works; for "that is his 
 portion : x for who 10 will bring him to see 
 what "will be after him ? 
 
 CHAPTER IV. 
 
 1 Vanity is increased to men by oppression, 4 by en- 
 vy, 5 by idleness, 7 by covetousness, 9 by solitari- 
 ness, \Zby wilfulness. 
 
 SO I returned, and 'saw all the "oppres- 
 sions that are done under the sun : and 
 behold the tears of Hhe oppressed, and they 
 had no comforter; and on the tside of 
 their oppressors there was power; *yet 
 they had no comforter. 
 
 2 'Wherefore I praised the dead who are 
 already dead more than the living who 
 are yet alive. 
 
 3 c Vea, better is he than both they, who. 
 hath not yet been, who hath not seen the 
 evil work that is done under the sun. 
 
 4 ^[ Again, I 4 saw all 5 toil, and tevery 
 Successful work, that tfor this a man is 
 envied of his neighbour. This is also va- 
 nity and vexation of spirit. 
 
 5 "The fool foldeth his hands together, 
 and eateth his own flesh. 
 
 6 'Better is a handful with quietness, than 
 both the hands full with toil and vexation 
 of spirit. 
 
 7 f[ Then I returned, and I saw vanity 
 under the sun. 
 
 8 There is one alone, and there is not a 
 second; yea, he hath neither child nor 
 brother: yet is there no end of all his 8 toil ; 
 neither is his ^ye satisfied with riches: 
 **neither saith he, For whom do I 'toil, and 
 bereave ,0 myself of good ? This is also va- 
 nity, yea, it is "an useless employment. 
 
 9 ff Two are better than one ; because 
 they have a good reward for their labour. 
 
 10 For if they fall, the one will lift up 
 his fellow: but wo to him that is alone 
 when he falleth ; for he hath not another 
 to help him up. 
 
 11 Again, if two lie together, then they 
 have heat : but how can one be warm alone ? 
 
 12 And if one prevail against him, two 
 shall withstand him ; and a threefold cord 
 is not quickly broken. 
 
 13 *|f Better is a poor and a wise child, 
 than an old and foolish king, twho will no 
 more be admonished. 
 
 14 For out of prison he cometh to reign ; 
 whereas also he that is born in his kingdom 
 becometh poor. 
 
 15 I considered all the living who wa?k 
 
 455 
 
Against abuses in divine service. 
 
 under the sun, with the second child that 
 shall stand up in his stead. 
 16 There is no end of all the people, 
 even of all that have been before them : 
 they also that come after shall not rejoice 
 in him. Surely this also is vanity and 
 vexation of spirit. 
 
 CHAPTER V. 
 
 1 Vanities in divine service, 8 in murmuring against 
 oppression, 9 and in riches. 18 Joy in riches is 
 the gift of God. 
 
 KEEP "thy foot when thou goest to the 
 house of God, and be more ready to 
 hear. 'than to give the sacrifice of fools : 
 for they consider not that they do evil: 
 
 2 Be not rash with thy mouth, and let 
 not thy heart be hasty to utter any ||thing 
 before God : for God is in heaven, and 
 thou upon earth : therefore let thy words 
 c be few. 
 
 3 For a dream cometh through the mul- 
 titude of business ; and d a fool's voice is 
 known by multitude of words. 
 
 4 'When thou vowest a vow to God, de- 
 fer not to pay it ; for he hath no pleasure 
 in fools : ■''pay that which thou hast vowed. 
 
 5 e Better is it that thou shouldest not 
 vow, than that thou shouldest vow and 
 not pay. 
 
 6 Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh 
 to sin ; "neither say thou before the angel, 
 that it was an error: wherefore should 
 God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the 
 work of thy hands? 
 
 7 For in the multitude of dreams and 
 many words there are also - divers vanities : 
 but 'fear thou God. 
 
 8 1f If thou 'seest the oppression of the 
 poor, and violent perverting of judgment 
 and justice in a province, 'wonder not tat 
 the matter : for Vie that is higher than the 
 highest regardeth; and there *are higher 
 than they. 
 
 9 U Moreover, the profit of the earth is 
 for all : the king himself is served by the 
 field. 
 
 10 He that loveth silver shall not be 
 satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth 
 3 wealth with increase : this is also vanity. 
 
 11 When goods increase, they are in- 
 creased that eat them : and what ''advan- 
 tage is there to the owners thereof, 6 except 
 the beholding of them with their eyes? 
 
 12 The sleep of a labouring man is sweet, 
 whether he eat little or much: but the 
 6 fulness of the rich will not suffer him to 
 sleep. 
 
 13 "There is a T painful evil which I have 
 seen under the sun, namely, riches kept 
 for the owners thereof to their hurt. 
 
 14 But those riches perish by evil 8 toil : 
 and he begetteth a son, and there is no- 
 thing in his hand. 
 
 15 "As he came forth 9 from his '"mother, 
 naked shall he return to go as he came, 
 and shall take nothing of his labour, which 
 he may carry away in his hand. 
 
 16 And this also is a "painful evil, that 
 in all points as he came, so shall he go : 
 and "what profit hath he p who hath 12 toiled 
 for the wind ? 
 
 17 All his days also «he eateth in dark- 
 ness, and he hath much sorrow and wrath 
 with his sickness. 
 
 18 If Behold that which I have seen: r \it 
 is good and comely for one to eat and to

 CHAPTER VI. 
 
 1 The vanity of riches without use. 3 Of children, 
 6 and old age without riches. 9 The vanity of 
 sight and wandering desires. 1 1 The conclusion 
 of vanities. 
 
 "HPHERE is an evil which I have seen 
 •*- under the sun, and it is cfnmon 
 
 among men : 
 
 2 A man to whom God hath given riches, 
 wealth, and honour, 'so that he wanteth 
 nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, 
 'yet God giveth him not power to eat there- 
 of, but a stranger eateth it : this is vanity, 
 and it is an evil 'affliction. 
 
 3 ^ If a man beget a hundred children, 
 and live many years, so that the days of 
 his years be many, and his soul be not fill- 
 ed with good, and ''also that he have no 
 burial; I say, that 'an untimely birth is 
 better than he. 
 
 4 For he cometh in with vanity, and de- 
 parteth in darkness, and his name shall be 
 covered with darkness. 
 
 5 Moreover he hath not seen the sun, nor 
 known anything: this hath more rest than 
 the other. 
 
 6 If Yea, though he live z twice a thousand 
 years, yet hath he seen no good : do not 
 all go to one place ? 
 
 7 'All the labour of man is for his mouth, 
 and yet the tappetite is not filled. 
 
 8 For what hath the wise more than the 
 fool ? what hath the poor, that knoweth to 
 walk before the living ? 
 
 9 1f Better is the sight of the eyes tthan 
 the wanderings of the desire : this is also 
 vanity and vexation of spirit. 
 
 10 That which hath been 3 was named 
 "•formerly, and it is known that it is man : 
 ^neither may he contend with him that is 
 mightier than he. 
 
 11 If 5 As there are many things that in- 
 crease vanity, what is man the better? 
 
 12 For who knoweth what is good for 
 man in this life, tall the days of his vain 
 life which he spendeth as *a shadow ? for 
 'who can tell a man what shall be after him 
 under the sun ? 
 
 CHAPTER VII. 
 
 1 Remedies against vanity are, a good name, 2 mor- 
 tification, 7 patience, 1 1 wisdom. 23 The difficulty 
 of getting wisdom. 
 
 A "GOOD name is better than 'good oint- 
 ment ; and the day of death than the 
 day of one's birth. 
 
 2 If It is better to go to the house of 
 mourning, than to go to the house of feast- 
 ing : for that is the end of all men ; and 
 the living will lay it to his heart. 
 
 3 ||Sorrow is better than laughter: 'for 
 by the sadness of the countenance the 
 heart is made better. 
 
 4 The heart of the wise is in the house 
 of mourning ; but the heart of fools is in 
 the house of mirth. 
 
OJ patience and wisdom. 
 
 5 'It is better to hear the rebuke of the 
 wise, than for a man to hear the song of 
 fools : 
 
 6 ''For as the tcrackling of thorns under 
 a pot, so is the laughter of the fool : this 
 also is vanity. 
 
 7 If Surely oppression maketh a wise man 
 mad ; 'and a gift destroyeth the judgment. 
 
 8 Better is the end of a thing than the 
 beginning thereof: and / the patient in spi- 
 rit is better than the proud in spirit. 
 
 9 *Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: 
 for anger restetn in the bosom of fools. 
 
 10 Say not thou, What is the cause that 
 the former days were better than these? 
 for thou dost not inquire twisely concern- 
 ing this. 
 
 11 If Wisdom lis good with an inherit- 
 ance: and by it there is profit *to them 
 that see the sun. 
 
 12 For wisdom is a tdefence, and money 
 is a defence : but the excellency of know- 
 ledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them 
 that have it. 
 
 13 Consider the work of God : for 'who 
 can make that straight, which he hath 
 made crooked ? 
 
 14 'In the day of prosperity be joyful, 
 but in the day of adversity consider: God 
 also hath tset the one over against the other, 
 to the end that man should find nothing 
 after him. 
 
 15 All things have I seen in the days of 
 my vanity : 'there is a just man that pe- 
 risheth in his righteousness, and there is a 
 wicked man that prolongeth his life in his 
 wickedness. 
 
 16 m Be not s just over much ; "neither 
 make thyself over wise: why shouldest 
 thou tdestroy thyself? . 
 
 17 Be not over much wicked, neither be 
 thou foolish : ''why shouldest thou die tbe- 
 fore thy time ? 
 
 18 It is good that thou shouldest take 
 hold of this ; yea, also from this withdraw 
 not thy hand : for he that feareth God shall 
 come forth *from them all. 
 
 19 p Wisdom strengthened the wise more 
 than ten mighty men which are in the city. 
 
 20 'For there is not a just man upon earth, 
 that doeth good, and sinneth not. 
 
 21 Also Hake no heed to all words that 
 are spoken; lest thou hear thy servant 
 curse thee: 
 
 22 For oftentimes also thine own heart 
 knoweth that thou thyself likewise hast 
 cursed others. 
 
 23 If All this have I proved by wisdom: 
 r I said, I will be wise; but it was far 
 from me. 
 
 24 'That which is far off, and 'exceeding 
 deep, who can find it out ? 
 
 25 t"I applied my heart to know, and to 
 search, and to seek out wisdom, and ^rea- 
 son 6 , and to know the wickedness of folly, 
 even of foolishness and madness : 
 
 26 "And I find more bitter than death the 
 woman whose heart is snares and nets, and 
 her hands as bands: t 7 he who pleaseth 
 God shall escape from her ; but the sinner 
 shall be taken by her. 
 
 27 Behold, this have I found, saith "the 
 Preacher, \\counting one by one, to find out 
 the 8 reason ; 
 
 28 Which yet my soul seeketh, but I find 
 not: *one man among a thousand have I

 found; but a woman among all those have 
 1 not found. 
 
 29 Lo, this only have I found, "that God 
 hath made man upright; but *they have 
 sought out many 'devices. 
 
 CHAPTER VIII. 
 
 1 Kings are greatly to be respected. 6 The divine 
 providence is to be observed. 12 It is better with 
 the godly in adversity, than with the wicked in 
 prosperity. 16 The work of God is unsearchable. 
 
 WHO is 'like the wise man ? and who 
 knoweth the Explanation of a thing? 
 "a man's wisdom maketh his face to shine, 
 and t*the boldness of his face shall be 
 changed. 
 
 2 I counsel thee to keep the king's com- 
 mandment, c and tliat 3 on account of the 
 oath of God. 
 
 3 ■'Be not hasty to go out of his sight: 
 stand not in an evil thing; for he doeth 
 whatever^pleaseth him. 
 
 4 Where the word of a king is, there is 
 power: and 'who may say to him, What 
 doest thou ? 
 
 5 4 He who keepeth the commandment 
 tshall feel no evil thing: and a wise man's 
 heart discerneth both time and judgment. 
 
 6 If Because 'to every purpose there is 
 time and judgment, therefore the misery 
 of man is great upon him. 
 
 7 fFor he knoweth not that which shall 
 be : for who can tell him ||when it shall be? 
 
 8 h There is no man that hath power 'over 
 the spirit to retain the spirit: neither hath 
 he power in the day of death : and there is 
 no Hdischarge in that war; neither shall 
 wickedness deliver those that are given to it. 
 
 9 All this have I seen, and applied my 
 heart to every work that is done under the 
 sun : titer e is a time wherein one man rul- 
 eth over another to his own hurt. 
 
 10 And so I saw the wicked buried, who 
 had come and gone from the place of the 
 holy, and they were forgotten in the. city 
 where they had so done : this is also vanity. 
 
 11 'Because sentence against an evil work 
 is not executed speedily, therefore the heart 
 of the sons of men is fully set in them to 
 do evil. 
 
 12 1f 'Though a sinner do evil a hundred 
 times, and his days be prolonged, yet sure- 
 ly I know that m it shall be well with them 
 that fear God, which fear before him : 
 
 13 But it shall' not be well with the wick- 
 ed, neither shall he prolong his days, which 
 are as a shadow ; because he feareth not 
 before God. 
 
 14 There is a vanity which is done upon 
 the earth ; that there 'are just men, to whom 
 it "happeneth according to the work of the 
 wicked : again, there are wicked men, to 
 whom it happeneth according to the work 
 of the righteous : I said that this also is 
 vanity. 
 
 15 "Then I commended mirth, because a 
 man hath no better thing under the sun, 
 than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: 
 for that shall abide with him of his labour 
 the days of his life, which God giveth him 
 under the sun. 
 
 16 If When I applied my heart to know 
 wisdom, and to see the business that is 
 done upon the earth: (for also there is 6 one 
 who neither day nor night seeth sleep with 
 
 His CVGS *) 
 
 17 Then I beheld all the work of God, 
 
 457 
 
Ml things come alike to all. 
 
 that p a man cannot find out the work that 
 is done under the sun : because though a 
 man labour to seek it out, yet he shall not 
 find it; yea further; though a wise man 
 think to know it, 'yet shall he not be able 
 to find it. 
 
 CHAPTER IX. 
 
 1 Like things happen to good and bad. 4 There is 
 a necessity of death to men. 7 Comfort is all their 
 portion in this life. 11 God's providence ruleth 
 over all. 13 Wisdom is better than strength. 
 
 FOR all this tl considered in my heart 
 even to 'prove all this, "that the right- 
 eous, and the wise, and their works, are in 
 the hand of God : no man knoweth either 
 love or hatred 2 even&\\ that is before them. 
 
 2 *A11 things come alike to all : there is 
 one event to the righteous and to the wick- 
 ed ; to the good, and to the clean, and to 
 the unclean; to him that sacrificeth, and 
 to him that sacrificeth not : as is the good, 
 so is the sinner ; and he that sweareth, as 
 he that feareth an oath. 
 
 3 This is an evil among all things that 
 are done under the sun, that there is one 
 event to all : yea, also the heart of the sons 
 of men is full of evil, and madness is in 
 their heart while they live, and after that 
 they go to the dead. 
 
 4 if For to him that is joined to all the 
 living there is hope: for a living dog is 
 better than a dead lion. 
 
 5 For the living know that they shall die: 
 but the dead know not any thing, neither 
 have they any more a reward; for d the 
 memory of them is forgotten. 
 
 6 Also their love, and their hatred, and 
 their envy, is now perished; neither have 
 they any more a portion for ever in any 
 thing that is done under the sun. 
 
 7 If Go thy way, e eat thy bread with joy, 
 and drink thy wine with a 3 cheerful heart; 
 for God now accepteth thy works. 
 
 8 Let thy garments be always white; and 
 let thy heaa lack no ointment. 
 
 9 tLive joyfully with the wife whom thou 
 lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, 
 which he hath given thee under the sun, 
 all the days of thy vanity : 'for that is thy 
 portion in this life, and in thy labour which 
 thou takest under the sun. 
 
 10 Whatever thy hand findeth to do, 
 do it with thy might ; for there is no work, 
 nor 4 reason, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, 
 in the 5 grave, whither thou goest. 
 
 11 if I returned, e and saw under the sun, 
 that the race is not to the swift, nor the 
 battle to the strong, neither yet bread to 
 the wise, nor yet riches to men of under- 
 standing, nor yet favour to men of skill ; 
 but time and chance happeneth to them all. 
 
 12 For "man also knoweth not his time : as 
 the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and 
 as the birds that are caught in the snare; 
 so are the sons of men 'snared in an evil 
 time, when it falleth suddenly upon them. 
 
 13 If This wisdom have I seen also under 
 the sun, and it seemed great to me : 
 
 14 x There was a little city, and few men 
 within it; and there came a great king 
 against it, and besieged it, and built great 
 bulwarks against it : 
 
 15 Now there was found in it a poor wise 
 man, and he by his wisdom delivered the 
 city; yet no man remembered that same 
 poor man.

 CHAPTER X. 
 
 1 Observations of wisdom and folly : 16 of riot, 
 18 slothfulness, 19 and money. 20 Men's thoughts 
 of kings ought to be reverent. 
 
 DEAD tflies cause the ointment of the 
 'perfumer to send forth 2 an offensive 
 odour : so doth a little folly him that is in 
 reputation for wisdom and honour. 
 
 2 A wise man's heart is at his right hand ; 
 but a fool's heart is at his left. 
 
 3 Yea also, when he that is a fool walketh 
 by the way, this wisdom faileth him, "and 
 he saith to every one that he is a fool. 
 
 4 If the spirit of the ruler rise up against 
 thee, 'leave not thy place; for 'yielding 
 pacifieth great offences. 
 
 5 There is an evil which I have seen 
 under the sun, as an error which proceed- 
 ed tfrom the ruler : 
 
 6 d Folly is set tin great dignity, and the 
 rich sit in low place. 
 
 7 I have seen servants "upon horses, and 
 princes walking 3 like servants on the 
 earth. 
 
 8 'He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; 
 and "he that breaketh a hedge, a serpent 
 shall bite him. 
 
 9 6 He that removeth stones shall be hurt 
 therewith; and he that cleaveth wood shall 
 be endangered thereby. 
 
 10 If the iron be blunt, and he do not 
 whet the edge, then must he put to more 
 strength : but wisdom is profitable to di- 
 rect. 
 
 11 Surely the serpent will bite ^without 
 enchantment; and a tbabbler is no better. 
 
 12 *The words of a wise man's mouth are 
 t 6 kind ; but 'the lips of a fool will swallow 
 up himself. 
 
 13 The beginning of the words of his 
 mouth is foolishness : and the end of this 
 talk is mischievous madness. 
 
 14 *A fool also tis full of words : a man 
 cannot tell what shall be ; and 'what shall 
 be after him, who can tell him? 
 
 15 The labour of the foolish wearieth 
 every one of them, because he knoweth 
 not how to go to the city. 
 
 16 if m Wo to thee, O land, when thy king 
 is a 'servant, and thy princes eat in the 
 morning ! 
 
 17 Blessed art thou, O land, when thy 
 king is the son of nobles, and n thy princes 
 eat in due season, for strength, and not 
 for drunkenness ! 
 
 18 if By much slothfulness the building 
 decayeth ; and through idleness of the 
 hands the house 9 leaketh. 
 
 19 if A feast is made for laughter, and 
 "wine tmaketh merry: but money 9 impart- 
 eth all things. 
 
 20 if ? Curse not the king, no, not in thy 
 llthought ; and curse not the I0 noble in thy 
 bed-chamber: for a bird of the air shall 
 carry the voice, and that which hath wings 
 shall tell the matter.

 3 If the clouds be full of 'showers, they 
 empty t/iemselves upon the earth : and if 
 the tree fall towards the south, or towards 
 the north, in the place where the tree fall- 
 eth, there it shall be. 
 
 4 He that 2 watcheth the wind shall not 
 sow; and he that regardeth the clouds 
 shall not reap. 
 
 5 As ^thou knowest not what is the way 
 of the spirit, e nor how the bones do grow 
 in the womb of her that is with child : even 
 so thou knowest not the works of God who 
 maketh all. 
 
 6 In the morning sow thy seed, and in the 
 evening withhold not thy hand : for thou 
 knowest not 3 which tshall prosper, either 
 this or that, or whether they both shall be 
 alike good. 
 
 7 If 4 Though the light is sweet, and it is a 
 pleasant thing for the eyes Ho behold the 
 sun: 
 
 8 6 Yet if a man live many years, and re- 
 joice in them all ; 6 still let him remember 
 the days of darkness ; for they shall be 
 many. All that cometh is vanity. 
 
 9 If Rejoice, young man, in thy youth ; 
 and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of 
 thy youth, 'and walk in the ways of thy 
 heart, and in the sight of thine eyes : but 
 know thou, that for all these things *God 
 will bring thee into judgment. 
 
 10 Therefore remove || sorrow from thy 
 heart, and ' put away evil from thy flesh : 
 m for childhood and youth are vanity. 
 
 CHAPTER XII. 
 
 1 The Creator is to be remembered in due time. 8 The 
 preacher's care to edify. 13 The fear of God is the 
 chief antidote of vanity.

 days of thy youth, while the evil days 
 come not, nor the years draw nigh, 6 when 
 thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;

 "D Y "night on my bed I sought him whom 
 - LJ my soul loveth: 1 sought him, but I 
 found him not. 
 
 2 I will rise now, and go about the city 
 in the streets, and in the broad ways I will 
 seek him whom my soul loveth: I sought 
 him, but I found him not. 
 
 3 The watchmen that go about the city 
 found me : to whom I said, Saw ye him 
 whom my soul loveth ? 
 
 4 It was but a little that I ' had' passed 
 from them, 'before I found him whom my 
 soul loveth : I held him, and would not let 
 him go, until I had brought him into my 
 mother's house, and into the chamber of 
 her that conceived me. 
 
 5 °I charge you 'with an oath', O ye daugh-

 7 Behold his bed, which is Solomon's : 
 threescore valiant men are about it, of the 
 valiant of Israel. 
 
 8 They all hold swords, being expert in 
 war : every man hath his sword upon his 
 thigh because of fear in the night. 
 
 9 King Solomon made himself ||a s litter 
 of the wood of Lebanon. 
 
 10 He made the pillars thereof of silver, 
 the 6 railing thereof of gold, the Jseat of it 
 of purple, the midst thereof being paved 
 with love, for the daughters of Jerusalem. 
 
 11 Go forth, O ye daughters of Zion, and 
 behold king Solomon with the crown 
 wherewith his mother crowned him in the 
 day of his espousals, and in the day of the 
 gladness of his heart.

 1 Christ setteth forth the graces of the church. 8 He 
 sheweth his love to her. 16 The church prayeth to 
 be made fit for his presence. 
 
 BEHOLD, "thou art fair, my love ; be- 
 hold, thou art fair ; thou hast doves' 
 eyes 'behind thy veil : thy hair is as a 'flock 
 of goats, || 2 which lie down on mount Gi- 
 lead. 
 
 2 "Thy teeth are like a flock of sheep that 
 are even shorn, which came up from the 
 washing; of which every one beareth twins, 
 and not one is barren among them. 
 
 3 Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet, 
 and thy speech is comely: d thy temples 
 are like a 3 slice of a pomegranate "behind 
 thy veil. 
 
 4 Thy neck is like the tower of David 
 builded 'for an armoury, whereon there 
 hang a thousand bucklers, all shields of 
 mighty men. 
 
 5 Thy two breasts are like two young 'an- 
 telopes that are twins, which feed among 
 the lilies.

 church having a taste of Christ's love is sick of 
 love. 9 A description of Christ by his graces. 
 
 I "AM come into my garden, my sister, 
 my spouse : I have gathered my myrrh 
 with my spice ; 6 I have eaten my honey- 
 comb with my honey; I have drunk my 
 wine with my milk: eat, O "friends ; drink, 
 llyea, drink abundantly, O beloved. 
 
 2 If I sleep, but my heart waketh : it is 
 the voice of my beloved ""that knocketh, 
 saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, 
 my dove, my undefiled: for my head is 
 filled with dew, and my locks with the 
 drops of the night. 
 
 3 I have put off my 'garment ; how shall 
 I put it on ? I have washed my feet ; how 
 shall I defile them ? 
 
 4 My beloved put in his hand by the hole 
 of the door, and my 2 affections were moved 
 llfor him. 
 
 5 I rose up to open to my beloved ; and 
 my hands dropped with myrrh, and my 
 fingers with t 3 liquid myrrh, upon the 
 handles of the lock. 
 
 6 I opened to my beloved ; but my be- 
 loved had withdrawn himself, and was 
 gone : my soul failed when he spoke : e I 
 sought him, but I could not find him ; I 
 called him, but he gave me no answer. 
 
 7 'The watchmen who went *around the 
 city found me, they smote me, they wound- 
 ed me: the keepers of the walls took away 
 my 5 mantle from me. 
 
 8 I charge you ' with an oath', daugh- 
 ters of Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved, 
 tthat ye tell him, that I got sick 6 with love. 
 
 9 If What is thy beloved more than an-

 men? what is thy beloved more than an- 
 other beloved, that thou dost so charge us? 
 
 10 My beloved is white and ruddy, tthe 
 chief among ten thousand.

 locks are \\ 'waving, and black as a raven.

 12 "His eyes are as the eyes of daves by 
 the 8 streams of waters, washed with milk, 
 and 9 well set. 
 
 13 His cheeks are 10 like a bed of spices, 
 "like ||' beds of' sweet flowers : his lips like

 14 His hands are as gold rings set with

 15 His legs are as pillars of marble, set

 CHAPTER VI. 
 
 1 The church professeth her faith in Christ. 4 Christ 
 sheweth the graces of the church, 10 and his love 
 towards her. 
 
 "W HITHER is thy beloved gone, °0 
 »» thou fairest among women ? whither 
 is thy beloved turned aside? that we may 
 seek him with thee. 
 
 2 My beloved is gone down into his gar- 
 den, to the beds of spices, to feed in the 
 gardens, and to gather lilies. 
 
 3 b l am my beloved's and my beloved is 
 mine : he feedeth among the lilies. 
 
 4 If Thou art beautiful, O my love, as 
 Tirzah, comely as Jerusalem, 'terrible as 
 an army with banners. 
 
 5 Turn away thine eyes from me, for 
 Hthey have overcome me : thy hair is d as a 
 flock of goats that 'lie down on Gilead. 
 
 6 "Thy teeth are as a flock of sheep which 
 go up from the washing, of which every one 
 beareth twins, and there is not one barren 
 among them. 
 
 7 'As a 2 slice of a pomegranate are thy 
 temples 'behind thy veil. 
 
 8 There are threescore queens, and four- 
 score concubines, and virgins without 
 number. 
 
 9 My dove, my undefiled is but one; she 
 is the only one of her mother, she is the 
 choice one of her that bare her. The daugh- 
 ters saw her, and 4 called her happy ; yea, 
 the queens and the concubines, and they 
 praised her. 
 
 10 \ Who is she that looketh forth as the 
 morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, 
 e and terrible as an army with banners ? 
 
 11 I went down into the garden of nuts 
 to see the 5 green things ot the valley, and 
 *to see whether the vine flourished, and 
 the pomegranates budded. 
 
 12 tOr before I was aware, my soul !| 6 set 
 me on the chariots of Ammi-nadib. 
 
 13 Return, return, O Shulamite; return, 
 return, that we may look upon thee. What 
 will ye see in the Shulamite? As it were 
 the 'dancing ||of two 8 hosts. 
 
 CHAPTER VII. 
 
 1 A further description of the church's graces. 10 The 
 church professeth her faith and desire. 
 
 HOW beautiful are thy feet with shoes, 
 "O prince's daughter ! the joints of 
 thy thighs are like jewels, the work of the 
 hands of 'an artist. 
 
 2 Thy navel is like a round goblet, which 
 wanteth not t 2 spiced wine; thy belly is 
 like a heap of wheat set about with lilies. 
 
 3 'Thy two breasts are like two young 
 3 antelopes that are twins. 
 
 4 c Thy neck is as a tower of ivory; thine 
 eyes like the fish-pools in Heshbon, by the

The church's love to Christ.

 gate of Bath-rabbim: thy nose is as the 
 tower *of Lebanon which looketh towards 
 Damascus. 
 
 5 Thy head upon thee is like []Carmel, 
 and the hair of thy head like purple ; the 
 King is theld 4 by the 'ringlets. 
 
 6 How fair ana how pleasant art thou, 
 love, for delights ! 
 
 7 This thy stature is like to a palm-tree, 
 and thy breasts to clusters of grapes. 
 
 8 I said, I will go up to the palm-tree, I 
 will take hold of the boughs thereof: now 
 also thy breasts shall be as clusters of the 
 vine, and the smell of thy nose like apples; 
 
 9 And the roof of thy mouth like the best 
 wine for my beloved, that 6 goeth down 
 tsweetly, causing the lips ||of those that are 
 asleep to speak. 
 
 10 If d I am my beloved's, and 'his desire 
 is towards me. 
 
 11 Come, my beloved, let us go forth into 
 the field ; let us lodge in the villages. 
 
 12 Let us get up early to the vineyards; 
 let us ^see if the vine nourish, whether the 
 tender grape tappear, and the pomegranates 
 bud forth : there will I give thee my loves. 
 
 13 The ^mandrakes give 7 an odour, and 
 at our gates h are all 8 kinds of 'precious 
 fruits, new and old, which I have laid up 
 for thee, O my beloved. 
 
 CHAPTER VIII. 
 
 1 The love of the church to Christ. 6 The vehemency 
 of love. 8 The calling of the Gentiles. 14 The 
 church prayeth for Christ's coming. 
 
 OTHAT thou wert as my brother, who 
 sucked the breasts of my mother 1 
 when I should find thee without, I would 
 kiss thee; yea, tl should not be despised. 
 2 I would lead thee, and bring thee into 
 my mother's house, who would instruct 
 me : I would cause thee to drink of "spiced 
 wine, of the 'new wine of my pomegranate.

 IF THE BOOK OF THE PROPHET ISAIAH. 
 
 CHAPTER I. 
 
 • Isaiah complaineth of Judah for her rebellion. 5 He 
 lamenteth her judgments. 10 He upbraideth their 
 whole service. 16 He exhortelh to repentance, with 
 promises and threatenings. 21 Bewailing their 
 wickednesses, he denounceth God's judgments. 
 25 He promiseth grace, 28 and threatenelh de- 
 struction to the wicked. 
 
 THE "vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, 
 which he saw concerning Judah and 
 Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, 
 Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah. 
 
 2 'Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth : 
 for Jehovah hath spoken, C I have nourish- 
 ed and brought up children, and they have 
 rebelled against me. 
 
 3 ''The ox knoweth his owner, and the 
 ass his master's crib : but Israel 'doth not

 4 Ah sinful nation, a people tladen with

 that are corrupters ! they have forsaken 
 Jehovah, they have 2 despised the Holy 
 One of Israel 3 , they 4 have tgone away

 shall go forth 3 a law, and the word of Je- 
 hovah from Jerusalem. 
 
 4 And he shall judge among the nations, 
 aud shall rebuke many people : and 'they 
 shall beat their swords into plough-shares, 
 and their spears into Hpruning-hooks : na- 
 tion shall not lift up ' the' sword against 
 nation, "neither shall they learn war any 
 more. 
 
 5 house of Jacob, come ye, and let us 
 'walk in the light of Jehovah. 
 
 6 If 4 For thou hast forsaken thy people 
 the house of Jacob, because they 5 are filled 
 |j 'from the east, and l are 6 sorcerers like the 
 Philistines, "and they 7 make leagues with 
 the children of strangers. 
 
 7 "Their land also is full of silver and 
 gold, neither is there any end of their trea- 
 sures ; their land is also full of horses, nei- 
 ther is there any end of their chariots : 
 
 8 "Their land also is full of idols ; they 
 worship the work of their own hands, that 
 which their own fingers have made : 
 
 9 And the mean man boweth down, and 
 the great man humbleth himself: therefore 
 forgive them not. 
 
 10 If p Enter into the rock, and hide thee

 11 The 'lofty looks of man shall be hum- 
 bled and the haughtiness of men shall be 
 bowed down, and the Lord alone shall be 
 exalted r in that day. 
 
 12 For the day of Jehovah of hosts shall 
 be on every one that is proud and lofty, 
 and on every one that is lifted up ; and he 
 shall be brought low : 
 
 13 And on all 'the cedars of Lebanon, 
 that are high and "uplifted, and on all the 
 oaks of Bashan,

 on all the hills that are '"uplifted,

 CHAPTER III. 
 
 1 The great confusion which cometh by sin. 9 The 
 impudency of the people. 12 The oppression and 
 covetousness of the rulers. 16 The judgments which 
 (hall be for the pride of the women. 
 
 463 
 
The calamities coming upon Judah. 
 
 FOR behold, the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, 
 "doth take away from Jerusalem and 
 from Judah 'the 'support and the staff, the 
 whole 'support of bread, and the whole 
 'support of water, 
 
 2 'The mighty man, and the man of war, 
 the judge, and the prophet, and the ''di- 
 viner, and the 5 elder, 
 
 S The captain of fifty, and tthe honour- 
 able man, and the counsellor, and the 
 •skilful artificer, and the 'skilful charmer. 
 
 4 And I will give ^children to be their 
 princes, and 8 boys shall rule over them. 
 
 5 And the people shall be oppressed, 
 'each one by another, and !l) each one by 
 his neighbour : the child shall behave him- 
 self proudly against the "aged, and the 
 base against the honourable. 
 
 6 "Then a man shall take hold of his 
 brother of the house of his father, saying, 
 Thou hast clothing, be thou our ruler, and 
 let this ruin be under thy hand : 
 
 7 In that day shall he tswear, saying, I 
 will not be a thealer; for in my house is 
 neither bread nor clothing : make me not 
 a ruler of the people. 
 
 8 For 'Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah 
 is fallen: because their tongue and their 
 doings are against Jehovah, to provoke 
 the eyes of his glory. 
 
 9 If The "appearance of their countenance 
 doth witness against them ; and they de- 
 clare their sin as f Sodom, they hide it not. 
 Wo to their soul ! for they have rewarded 
 evil to themselves. 
 
 10 Say ye to the righteous, s that it shall 
 be well with him : for they shall eat the 
 fruit of their doings. , 
 
 11 Wo to the wicked ! 'it shall be ill with 
 him: for the reward of his hands shall be 
 tgiven him. 
 
 12 Tf As for my people, "children are their 
 oppressors, and women rule over them. O 
 my people, ' ||those who lead thee cause thee 
 to err, and tdestroy the way of thy paths. 
 
 13 Jehovah standeth up '"to plead, and 
 standeth to judge the people. 
 
 14 Jehovah will enter into judgment with 
 the 14 elders of his people, and the princes 
 thereof: for ye have Heaten up ^the vine- 
 yard ; the 16 plunder of the poor is in your 
 houses. 
 
 15 What mean ye that ye "beat my people 
 to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor ? 
 saith the Lord Jehovah of hosts. 
 
 16 If Moreover Jehovah saith, Because 
 the daughters of Zion are haughty, and 
 walk with stretched forth necks and twan- 
 ton eyes, walking and ||mincing as they go, 
 and making a tinkling with their ^ancle- 
 rings : 
 
 17 Therefore Jehovah will 17 make p bald 
 the crown of the head of the daughters of 
 Zion, and Jehovah will t ,18 expose their 
 nakedness. 
 
 18 In that day the Lord will take away 
 the ''ornaments of their ancle-rings, and 
 their 20 net -works, and their r21 crescents, 
 
 19 The w ear -pendants, and the bracelets, 
 and the ||mufflers, 
 
 20 The M head-dresses, and the ** step-

 stead of ^curled hair 'baldness; and instead 
 of a '"mantle a girding of sackcloth : and

 CHAPTER IV. 
 
 In the extremity of evils, Christ's kingdom shall be a 
 sanctuary. 
 
 AND °in that day seven women shall 
 take hold of one man, saying, We 
 will "eat our own bread, and wear our 
 own apparel : only tlet us be called by thy 
 name, ||to take away c our reproach. 
 
 2 In that day shall d the branch of Jeho- 
 vah be tbeautiful and glorious, and the 
 fruit of the earth shall be excellent and 
 comely tfor those who are escaped of 
 Israel. 
 
 3 And it shall come to pass, that he who 
 is left in Zion, and he who remaineth in 
 Jerusalem, "shall be called holy, even every 
 one that is ■''written fjamong the living in 
 Jerusalem : 
 
 4 When *the Lord shall have washed 
 away the filth of the daughters of Zion, 
 and shall have purged the blood of Jeru- 
 salem from the midst thereof by the spirit 
 of judgment, and by the spirit of burning. 
 
 5 'Then the 2 Lord will create on every 
 dwelling place of mount Zion, and on her 
 assembhes, "a cloud and smoke by day, 
 and 'the shining of a flaming fire by night : 
 for ||on all the glory shall be ta *protection. 
 
 6 And there shall be a 4 tent for a shadow 
 in the day time from the heat, and "for a 5 
 refuge, and for a covert from storm and 
 from rain. 
 
 CHAPTER V. 
 
 1 Under the parable of a vineyard God excuseth his 
 severe judgment. 8 His judgments upon covetous- 
 ness, 11 upon lasciviousness, 13 upon impiety. 
 20 and upon injustice. 26 The executioners of 
 God's judgments. 
 
 NOW will I sing 'concerning my well- 
 beloved a song of my beloved Respect- 
 ing "his vineyard. My well-beloved 'had 
 a vineyard on ta very fruitful hill :. 
 
 2 And he 4 digged it, and gathered out the 
 stones thereof, and planted it with the 
 choicest vine, and built a tower in the 
 midst of it, and also tmade a wine-press 
 therein : 'and he looked that it should 
 bring forth grapes, 5 but it brought forth 
 wild grapes. 
 
 3 And now, inhabitants of Jerusalem, 
 and men of Judah, 'judge, I pray you, 
 betwixt me and my vineyard. 
 
 4 What could have been done more to 
 my vineyard, which I have not clone in it? 
 wherefore, when I looked that it should 
 bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild 
 
 5 And now 6 come ; I will tell you what 
 I will do to my vineyard: d I will take 
 away the hedge thereof, and it shall be 
 eaten up ; and break down the wall there- 
 of, and it shall be ttrodden down : 
 
 6 And I will lay it waste: it shall not be 
 
God? 's judgments on the wicked. 
 
 pruned, nor digged ; but there shall come 
 up briers and thorns: I will also command 
 the clouds that they rain no rain upon it. 
 
 7 For the vineyard of Jehovah of hosts 
 is the house of Israel, and the men of Ju- 
 dah this pleasant plant : and he looked for 
 'justice, Dut behold t 8 bloodshed; for right- 
 eousness, but behold 9 an outcry. 
 
 8 If Wo to them that join "house to house, 
 that lay field to field, till there w is no place, 
 that ttney may "dwell alone in the midst 
 of the I2 land ! 
 
 9 '|| In mine ears, said Jehovah of hosts, 
 tOf a truth many houses shall be desolate, 
 even great and fair, without inhabitant. 
 
 10 Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield 
 one e bath, and the seed of a homer shall 
 yield an ephah. 
 
 11 1T *Wo to them that rise up early in 
 the morning, that they may follow strong 
 drink ; that continue until night, till wine 
 Hinflame them ! 
 
 12 And 'the harp, and the "psaltery, the 
 tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their 
 feasts : but *they regard not the work of 
 Jehovah, neither consider the operation 
 of his hands. 
 
 13 |ff 'Therefore my people are gone into 
 captivity, "because they have no know- 
 ledge: and t their honourable men are 
 famished, and their multitude dried up 
 with thirst. 
 
 14 Therefore u hell hath enlarged herself, 
 and opened her mouth without measure: 
 and their glory, and their multitude, and 
 their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall 
 descend into it. 
 
 15 And "the mean man shall be brought 
 down, and the mighty man shall be hum- 
 bled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be 
 humbled : 
 
 16 But Jehovah of hosts shall be exalted 
 l5 by judgment, and || tGod who isholy shall 
 be sanctified "by righteousness. 
 
 17 Then shall the lambs feed after their 
 "custom, and the waste places of "the "rich 
 ones shall strangers eat. 
 
 18 Wo to those who draw iniquity with 
 cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a 
 cart-rope : 
 
 19 'Who say, Let him make speed, and 
 hasten his work, that we may see it : and 
 let the "purpose of the Holy One of Israel 
 draw nigh and come, that we may know it J 
 
 20 If Wo to those twho call evil good, and 
 
 f;ood evil ; that put darkness for light, and 
 ight for darkness ; that put bitter for sweet, 
 and sweet for bitter ! 
 
 21 Wo to those who are 'wise in their own 
 M esteem, and prudent tin their own sight ! 
 
 22 'Wo to those who are mighty to drink 
 wine, and men of strength to mingle strong 
 drink : 
 
 23 Who 'justify the wickedfoi^'bribeSjand 
 take away the ^right of the righteous from 
 him ! 
 
 24 Therefore 'as tthe fire devoureth the 
 23 dry grass, and the flame consumeth the 
 chaff, so "their root shall be M like rotten- 
 ness, and their blossom shall go up 25 like 
 dust : because they have 26 rejected the law 
 of Jehovah of hosts, and despised the word 
 of the Holy One of Israel. 
 
 25 "Therefore is the anger of Jehovah 
 kindled against his people, and he hath 
 stretched forth his hand against them, and

 Isaiah's vision of God's glory. 
 
 hath smitten them: and *the ^mountains 
 trembled, and their carcasses were M like 
 rubbish in the midst of the streets. 'For 
 all this his anger is not turned away, but 
 his hand is stretched out still. 
 
 26 If "And he will lift up an ensign to the 
 nations from far, and will 'hiss to them 
 from the end of the earth ; and behold, 
 ''they shall come with speed swiftly : 
 
 27 None shall be weary nor stumble 
 among them ; none shall slumber nor 
 sleep; neither "shall the girdle of their 
 loins be loosed, nor the 29 string of their 
 shoes be broken : 
 
 28 f Whose arrows are sharp, and all their 
 bows bent, their horses' hoofs shall be ac- 
 counted like flint, and their wheels like a 
 whirlwind. 
 
 29 Their roaring shall be like a lion, they 
 shall roar like young lions : yea, they shall 
 roar, and 30 seize the 31 plunder, and shall 
 carry it away 32 , and none shall deliver it. 
 
 30 And in that day they shall roar against 
 them like the roaring of the sea : and if 
 one 4ook to the 33 earth, behold, darkness 
 and Usorrow, ||and the light is darkened in 
 the heavens thereof. 
 
 CHAPTER VI. 
 
 I Isaiah, in a vision of the Lord in his glory, 5 being 
 terrified, is confirmed for his message. 9 He shew- 
 eth the obstinacy of the people to their desolation. 
 13 A remnant shall be saved. 
 
 IN the year that "king Uzziah died I 'saw 
 also the 'Lord sitting on a throne, high 
 and 2 uplifted, and || 3 the train of his robe 
 filled the temple. 
 
 2 Above it stood the seraphim : each one 
 had six wings ; with 4 two he covered his 
 face, and "with 5 two he covered his feet, 
 and with 6 two he did fly. 
 
 3 And tone cried to another, and said, 
 d Holy, holy, holy, is Jehovah of hosts: 
 t e the whole earth is full of his glory. 
 
 4 And the ^foundations of the thresholds 
 shook at the voice of him that cried, and 
 ■'the house was filled with smoke. 
 
 5 If <Then said I, Wo Ho me ! for I am 
 tundone ; because I am a man of unclean 
 lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people 
 of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen 
 the King, Jehovah of hosts. 
 
 6 Then flew one of the seraphim to me, 
 thaving a 'burning coal in his hand, which 
 he had taken with the tongs from " "the 
 altar : 
 
 7 And he t "touched my mouth, and said, 
 Lo, thishath touched thy lips ; and thine ini- 
 quity is taken away, and thy sin "cleansed. 
 
 8 Also I heard the voice of the "Lord, 
 saying, Whom shall I send, and who will 
 go for *us ? Then said I, tHere am I ; 
 send me. 
 
 9 1f And he said, Go, and tell this people, 
 'Hear ye Htindeed, but understand not; 
 and see ye tindeed, but perceive not. 
 
 10 Make "'the heart of this people ,4 gross, 
 and make their ears' heavy, and shut their 
 eyes ; ^lest they see with their eyes, and 
 hear with their ears, and understand with 
 their heart, and "turn, and be healed. 
 
 11 Then said I, "Lord, how long ? And 
 he answered, "Until the cities be wasted 
 without inhabitant, and the houses without 
 man, and the land be tutterly desolate ; 
 
 12 'And Jehovah ' shall' have removed 
 
 465 
 
Jlhaz is comforted by Isaiah. 
 
 men far away, and there be a great forsak- 
 ing in the midst of the land. 
 
 13 t But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it 
 shall return, and shall be "destroyed: like 
 a strong tree, and like an oak when cut 
 down, whose Ijsubstance is in them: so 'the 
 holy seed shall be the substance thereof. 
 
 CHAPTER VII. 
 
 1 Ahaz, being troubled with fear of Rezin and Pe- 
 kah, is comforted by Isaiah. 10 Ahaz, having li- 
 berty to choose a sign, and refusing it, hath for a 
 sign, Christ promised. 17 His judgment is pro- 
 phesied to come by Assyria. 
 
 AND it came to pass in the days of "Ahaz 
 the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, 
 king of Judah, that Rezin the king of Sy- 
 ria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king 
 of Israel, went up towards Jerusalem to 
 war against it, but could not prevail 
 against it. 
 
 2 And it was told the house of David, 
 saying, Syria "lis confederate with Ephraim. 
 And his heart 'shook, and the heart of his 
 people, as the trees of the 2 forest are 3 shaken 
 by the wind. 
 
 3 Then said Jehovah to Isaiah, Go forth 
 now to meet Ahaz, thou, 'and ||Shear-ja- 
 shub thy son, at the end of the c4 channel 
 of the upper pool in the Hhighway of the 
 fuller's held ; 
 
 4 And say to him, Take heed, and be 
 quiet; fear not, tneither be faint-hearted 
 6 on account of the two tails of these smok- 
 ing fire-brands, 6 on account of the fierce 
 anger of Rezin with Syria, and of the son 
 of Remaliah. 
 
 5 Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son 
 of Remaliah, have taken evil counsel against 
 thee, saying, 
 
 6 Let us go up against Judah, and || 'ter- 
 rify it, and let us make a breach therein 
 for us, and set a king in the midst of it, 
 even the son of Tabeal : 
 
 7 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, d It shall 
 not stand, neither shall it come to pass. 
 
 8 c For the head of Syria is Damascus, 
 and the head of Damascus is Rezin ; and 
 within threescore and five years shall 
 Ephraim be broken, t 8 so that it shall not 
 be a people. 
 
 9 And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, 
 and the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son. 
 f \\ If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not 
 be established. 
 
 10 If tMoreover, Jehovah- spoke again to 
 Ahaz, saying, 
 
 11 f Ask thee a sign 9 from Jehovah thy 
 God ; ||ask it either in the depth, or in the 
 height above. 
 
 12 But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither 
 will I tempt Jehovah. 
 
 13 And he said, Hear ye now, O house 
 of David ; Is it a small thing for you to 
 weary men, but will ye weary my God 
 also ? 
 
 14 Therefore the 10 Lord himself shall 
 give you a sign; *Behold, "the virgin shall 
 conceive, and bear ( a son, and || ' she' shall 
 call his name 'Immanuel. 
 
 15 Butter and honey shall he eat, I2 until 
 he 1S know to refuse the evil, and choose 
 the good. 
 
 16 'For before the child shall know to 
 refuse the evil, and choose the good, the 
 land which thou abhorrest shall be for- 
 saken 14 bv m both her kings.

 17 Tf "Jehovah shall bring on thee, and 
 on thy people, and on thy father's house, 
 days that have not come, from the day 
 that "Ephraim departed from Judah ; even 
 the king of Assyria. 
 
 18 And it shall come to pass in that day, 
 that Jehovah ''shall hiss for the fly that is 
 in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt, 
 and for the bee that is in the land of As- 
 syria. 
 
 19 And they shall come, and shall rest 
 all of them in the desolate valleys, and in 
 «the 15 clefts of the rocks, and on all thorns, 
 and on all '"pastures. 
 
 20 In the same day shall the "Lord shave 
 with a 'razor that is hired, namely, by those 
 beyond the river, by the king of Assyria, 
 the head, and the hair of the feet: and it 
 shall also consume the beard. 
 
 21 And it shall come to pass in that day, 
 that a man shall nourish a young cow, and 
 two sheep ; 
 
 22 And it shall come to pass, for the 
 abundance of milk which they shall give 
 that he shall eat butter: for butter and 
 honey shall every one eat that is left tin 
 the land. 
 
 23 And it shall come to pass in that day, 
 that every place shall be, where there were, 
 a thousand vines at a thousand | 8 shekels 
 of silver, 'it shall even be for briers and 
 thorns. 
 
 24 With arrows and with bows shall men 
 I9 go thither; because all the land shall be- 
 come briers and thorns. 
 
 25 And on all ^mountains that 21 were 
 digged with the ^hoe, there shall not come 
 thither the fear of briers and thorns : but 
 it shall be for the sending forth of oxen, 
 and for the treading of s3 sheep. 
 
 CHAPTER VIII. 
 
 1 In Maher-shalal-hash-baz , he prophesieth that Sy- 
 ria and Israel shall be subdued by Assyria. 5 Ju- 
 dah likewise for their infidelity. 9 God's judgments 
 shall be unresistible. 1 1 Comfort shall be to them 
 that fear God. 19 Great afflictions to idolaters. 
 
 MOREOVER, Jehovah said to me, 
 Take 'thyself a great roll, and "write 
 in it with a man's pen concerning tMaher- 
 shalal-hash-baz. 
 
 2 And I took 2 myself faithful Avitnesses 
 to 'testify, 'Uriah the priest, and Zechariah 
 the son of Jeberechiah. 
 
 3 And I twent to the prophetess ; and she 
 conceived, and bore a son. Then said Je- 
 hovah to me, Call his name Maher-shalal- 
 hash-baz. 
 
 4 c For before the child shall have know- 
 ledge to cry, My father, and my mother, 
 ll^the riches of Damascus and the spoil of 
 Samaria shall be 4 borne away before the 
 king of Assyria. 
 
 5 f Jehovah spoke also to me again, say- 
 ing. 
 
 6 6 Because this people 6 despiseth the wa- 
 ters of 'Shiloah 'which flow softly, and re- 
 joice / in Rezin and Remaliah's son ; 
 
 7 Now therefore, behold, the 8 Lord bring - 
 eth 9 upon them the waters of the river, 
 strong and many, even s the king of As- 
 syria, and all his glory : and he shall come 
 up over all his channels, and go over all 
 his banks : 
 
 8 And he shall pass through Judah ; he 
 shall overflow and go over, "he shall reach 
 even to the neck ; and tthe stretching out 
 
Gotfs purposes irresistible.

 of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy 
 land, O il0 Immanuel. 
 
 9 f 'Associate yourselves, O ye people, 
 Hand ye shall be broken in pieces; and 
 give ear, all ye of far countries: gird your- 
 selves, and ye shall be broken in pieces ; 
 gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in 
 pieces. 
 
 10 'Take counsel together, and it shall 
 come to "nothing; speak the word, m and it 
 shall not stand : "for God is with us. 
 
 11 1f For Jehovah spoke thus to me twith 
 a strong hand, and instructed me that I 
 should not walk in the way of this people, 
 saying, 
 
 12 Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them 
 to whom "this people shall say, A confede- 
 racy; 'neither fear ye 12 what they fear, 
 nor be afraid. 
 
 13 « "Reverence Jehovah of hosts him- 
 self; and "let him be your fear, and let him 
 be your dread. 
 
 14 And *he shall be for a sanctuary ; but 
 for 
 of 1 
 
 ! a stone of stumbling and for a rock 
 falling to both the houses of Israel, 
 
 for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants 
 of Jerusalem. 
 
 15 And many among them shall "stumble, 
 and fall, and be broken, and be ensnared, 
 and be taken. 
 
 16 Bind up the testimony, seal the "law 
 among my disciples. 
 
 17 And I will wait I6 for Jehovah, who 
 *hideth his face from the house of Jacob, 
 and I "will look for him. 
 
 18 *Behold, I and the children whom Je- 
 hovah hath given me "are for signs and for 
 wonders in Israel from Jehovah of hosts, 
 who dwelleth in mount Zion. 
 
 19 f And when they shall say to you, 
 ''Seek to those who have familiar spirits, 
 and to wizards 'who peep, and who mutter : 
 should not a people seek to their God ? 
 "should they seek d to the dead for the liv- 
 ing? 
 
 20 "To the law and to the testimony : if 
 they speak not according to this word, it 
 is because f there is tno light in them. 
 
 21 And they shall pass through it, ^dis- 
 tressed and hungry : and it shall come to 
 pass, that when they I9 are hungry, they 
 shall fret themselves, and f curse their king 
 and their God, and look upward. 
 
 22 And *they shall look to the earth ; and 
 behold trouble and darkness/dimness of an- 
 guish ; and they shall be driven to darkness. 
 
 CHAPTER IX. 
 
 1 What joy shall be in the midst of afflictions, by the 
 kingdom and birth of Christ. 8 The judgments 
 upon Israel for their pride, 13 for their hypocrisy, 
 18 and for their impenitency. 
 
 NEVERTHELESS "the dimness shall 
 not be such as was in her 'anguish, 
 when at 2 *first he lightly afflicted the land 
 of Zebulun, and the land of Naphtali, and 
 'afterward did more grievously afflict her 
 by 3 the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in 
 Galilee ||of the 4 heathen. 
 
 2 d The people who walked in darkness 
 have seen a great light : those who dwell 
 in the land ofthe shadow of death, on them 
 hath the light shined. 
 
 3 Thou hast multiplied the nation, and 
 ||not increased the joy : they 6 rejoice before 
 thee according to the joy in harvest, and as 
 men rejoice 'when they divide the spoil.

 The 9 zeal of Jehovah of hosts will perform 
 this. 
 
 8 f The 8 Lord sent a word into Jacob, 
 and it hath lighted on Israel. 
 
 9 And all the people shall know, even 
 Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, 
 who say in 8 pride and 9 arrogance of heart, 
 
 10 The bricks are fallen down, but we 
 will build with hewn stones: the syca- 
 mores are cut down, but we will change 
 them l0 for cedars. 
 
 11 Therefore the Lord shall set up the 
 adversaries of Rezin against him, and tjoin 
 his enemies together ; 
 
 12 The Syrians before, and the Philis- 
 tines behind ; and they shall devour Israel 
 twith open mouth. "For all this his anger 
 is not turned away, but his hand is stretch- 
 ed out still. 
 
 13 f For 'the people turneth not to him 
 who smiteth them, neither do they seek 
 Jehovah of hosts. 
 
 14 Therefore Jehovah will cut off from 
 Israel head and tail, "the palm-branch and 
 ' 2 the bulrush, 'in one day. 
 
 15 The "aged and honourable, he is the 
 head ; and the prophet that teacheth lies, 
 he is the tail. 
 
 16 For "||the leaders of this people cause 
 them to err ; and \\those who are led "by 
 them' are tdestroyed. 
 
 17 Therefore the 15 Lord *shall have no 
 joy in their young men, neither shall have 
 mercy. on their fatherless and widows: *for 
 every one is a hypocrite and an evil-doer, 
 and every mouth speaketh llfolly. *For all 
 this his anger is not turned away, but his 
 hand is stretched out still. 
 
 18 ^1 For wickedness "burnetii 16 like the 
 fire.; it shall devour the briers and thorns, 
 and shall kindle in the thickest of the fo- 
 rest, and they shall mount up like the lift- 
 ing up of smoke. 
 
 19 Through the wrath of Jehovah of hosts 
 is 'the land darkened, and the people shall 
 be as the tfuel of the fire : 'no man shall 
 spare his brother. 
 
 20 And he shall t'Mevour on the right 
 hand, and be hungry; and he shall eat on 
 the left hand, d and they shall not be satis- 
 fied: 'they shall eat 18 each man the flesh 
 of his own arm : 
 
 21 Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, 
 Manasseh: and they together shall be 
 against Judah. 'For all this his anger is 
 not turned away, but his hand is stretched 
 out still.

 CHAPTER X. 
 
 1 The wo of tyrants. 5 Assyria, the rod of hypocrites, 
 for his pride shall be broken. 20 A remnant of 
 Israel shall be saved. 24 Israel is comforted with 
 promise of deliverance from Assyria. 
 
 WO to those who "decree unrighteous 
 decrees, and ||that write 'oppression 
 which they have prescribed ; 
 
 2 To turn aside the needy from judgment, 
 and to take away the right from the poor 
 of my people, that widows may be their 
 prey, and that they may rob the fatherless ! 
 
 3 And "what will ye do in c the day of vi- 
 sitation, and in the desolation which shall 
 come from far ? to whom will ye flee for 
 help ? and where will ye leave your glory? 
 
 4 Without me they shall bow down under 
 the prisoners, and they shall fall under the 
 slain. "Tor all this his anger is not turned 
 away, but his hand is stretched out still. 
 
 5 If ! Wo to the tAssyrian, "the rod of 
 mine anger, Hand the staff in their hand is 
 mine indignation. 
 
 6 I will send him against 'a hypocritical 
 nation, and against the people of my wrath 
 will I *give him a charge, to take the spoil,' 
 and to take the prey, and tto 3 trample them 
 down like the mire of the streets. 
 
 7 "Yet he meaneth not so, neither doth 
 his heart think so ; but it is in his heart to 
 destroy and cut off nations not a few. 
 
 8 'For he saith, Jlre not my princes alto- 
 gether kings ? 
 
 9 Is not *Calno 'as Carchemish ? is not 
 Hamath as Arpad ? is not Samaria m as 
 Damascus? 
 
 10 As my hand hath found the kingdoms 
 of the idols, and whose graven images did 
 Outnumber them of Jerusalem and of Sa- 
 maria ; 
 
 11 Shall I not, as I have done to Sama- 
 ria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and 
 her idols? 
 
 12 6 Therefore it shall come to pass, that 
 when the 'Lord hath performed his whole 
 work n8 against mount Zion and on Jerusa- 
 lem, °I will tpunish the fruit tof the 9 proud 
 heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory 
 of his high looks. 
 
 13 'For he saith, By the strength of my 
 hand I have done it, and by my wisdom ; 
 for I am prudent: and I have removed the 
 bounds of the people, and have "plunder- 
 ed their treasures, and I have put down 
 the inhabitants ||like a valiant man : 
 
 14 And «my hand hath found as a nest 
 the riches of the people: and as one ga- 
 thereth eggs that are left, have I gathered 
 all the earth; and there was none that 
 moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or 
 peeped. 
 
 15 Shall r the axe boast itself against him 
 that heweth therewith? or shall the saw 
 magnify itself against him that "moveth it? 
 ||as if the rod sliould shake itself against 
 them that lift it up, or as if the staff sliould 
 lift up \\itse1f, as if it were 12 not wood. 
 
 16 Therefore shall the "Lord, the 14 Lord 
 of hosts, send among his 'fat ones leanness ; 
 and under his glory he shall kindle a burn- 
 ing like the burning of a fire. 
 
 17 And the light of Israel shall be for a 
 fire, and his Holy One for a flame : 'and 
 it shall burn and devour his thorns and his 
 briers in one day ; 
 
 18 And shall consume the glory of his

 2 ''And the Spirit of Jehovah shall rest 
 on him, the spirit of wisdom and under- 
 standing, the spirit of counsel and might,

 Jehovah ; 
 
 3 And shall make him of -fquick 3 discern-

The peaceable kingdom of Christ. 
 
 not judge 4 by the sight of his eyes, neither 
 reprove 5 by the hearing of his ears : 
 
 4 But 'with righteousness shall he judge 
 the poor, and ||reprove with equity for the 
 meek of the earth : and he shall /smite the 
 earth with the rod of his mouth, and with 
 the breath of his lips shall he slay the 
 wicked. 
 
 5 And ^righteousness shall be the girdle 
 of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of 
 his reins. 
 
 6 "The wolf also shall dwell with the 
 lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with 
 the kid ; and the calf and the young lion 
 and the fatling together; and a little child 
 shall lead them. 
 
 7 And the cow and the bear shall feed ; 
 their young ones shall lie down together : 
 and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. 
 
 8 And the sucking child shall play on the 
 hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall 
 put his hand on the "viper's den. 
 
 9 'They shall not hurt nor destroy in all 
 my holy mountain : for 'the earth shall be 
 full of the knowledge of Jehovah, as the 
 waters cover the sea. 
 
 10 \ 'And in that day ""there shall be a 
 root of Jesse, which shall stand for an en- 
 sign of the people; to it shall the "Gentiles 
 seek: and "his 'dwelling-place shall be 
 tglorious. 
 
 11 And it shall come to pass p in that day, 
 that the 8 Lord shall "stretch his hand again 
 the second time to recover the remnant of 
 his people, who shall be left, 'from As- 
 syria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, 
 and from "Ethiopia, and from Elam, and 
 from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from 
 the islands of the sea, 
 
 12 And he shall set up an ensign for the 
 nations and shall assemble the outcasts of 
 Israel, and gather together the dispersed 
 of Judah from the four tcorners of the 
 earth. 
 
 13 'The envy also of Ephraim shall de- 
 
 Eart, and the adversaries of Judah shall 
 e cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, 
 and Judah shall not vex Ephraim. 
 
 14 But they shall fly on the shoulders of 
 the Philistines towards the west; they 
 shall spoil tthose of the east together: 
 'tthey shall lay their hand on Edom and 
 Moab ; tand the children of Ammon "shall 
 obey them. 
 
 15 And Jehovah x shall utterly destroy 
 the "gulf of the Egyptian sea, and with his 
 l2 ternble wind shall he shake his hand over 
 the river, and shall smite it in the seven 
 streams, y and make men go over tdry- 
 shod. 
 
 16 And * 13 it shall be a highway for the 
 remnant of his people, who shall be left, 
 from Assyria ; u "as it was to Israel in the 
 day 15 when he came up 16 from the land of 
 Egypt. 
 
 CHAPTER XII. 
 A joyful thanksgiving of the faithful for the mer- 
 cies of God. 
 
 AND "in that day thou shalt say, O Je 
 hovah, I will praise thee: though thou 
 wast angry with me, thine anger is turned 
 away, and thou comfortest me. 
 2 Behold, God is my salvation; I will 
 trust, and not be afraid: for the 'Lord 
 4 JEHOVAH is my 'strength and my song; 
 he also 2 hath become my salvation.

 every man's heart shall melt ; 
 
 8 And they shall be afraid ; 'pangs and 
 sorrows shall 'seize them; they shall be in 
 pain 8 like a woman that travaileth: they 
 shall tbe amazed tone at another; their 
 faces shall be Hike tflames. 
 
 9 Behold, 'the day of Jehovah cometh, 
 cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to 
 lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy 
 'the sinners thereof out of it. 
 
 10 For the stars of heaven and the con- 
 stellations thereof shall not give their light : 
 the sun shall be ""darkened in his going 
 forth, and the moon shall not cause her 
 light to shine. 
 
 11 And I will punish the world for its 
 evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; 
 "and I will cause the arrogancy of the 
 proud to cease, and will lay low the haugh- 
 tiness of the terrible. 
 
 12 I will make 10 man more "scarce than 
 fine gold ; even a man ' more scarce' than 
 the ,2 gold of Ophir. 
 
 13 "Therefore I will shake the heavens, 
 and the earth shall remove out of her place, 
 13 by the wrath of Jehovah of hosts, and in 
 p the day of his fierce anger. 
 
 14 And M they shall be 16 like the chased 
 16 antelope, and "like a sheep which no man 
 taketh up : 'they shall every man turn to 
 his own people, and flee every one into his 
 own land. 
 
 15 Every one who is 18 taken shall be 
 thrust through ; and every one that 19 hideth 
 shall fall by the sword. 
 
 16 Their children also shall be r dashed

 to pieces before their eyes; their houses 
 shall be spoiled, and their wives ^violated. 
 
 17 "Behold, I will stir up the Medes 
 against them, who shall not regard silver ; 
 and as for gold, they shall not delight in it. 
 
 18 Their bows also shall dash the young 
 men to pieces ; and they shall have no pity 
 on the fruit of the womb ; their eye shall 
 not spare children. 
 
 19 If 'And Babylon, the glory of king- 
 doms, the beauty of the Chaldees' 21 boast- 
 ing, shall be tas when God overthrew "So- 
 dom and Gomorrah. 
 
 20 *It shall never be inhabited, neither 
 shall it be dwelt in from generation to 
 generation : neither shall the Arabian pitch 
 tent there; neither shall the shepherds 
 Z2 cause their flocks to lie down there. 
 
 21 y But twild beasts of the desert shall 
 lie there; and their houses shall be full 
 of t^howling creatures; and t M ostriches 
 shall dwell there, and ^hairy monsters 
 shall dance there. 
 
 22 And t 26 wild cats shall cry in their 
 Udesolate houses, and Z7 jackals in their 
 pleasant palaces : 2 and her time is near to 
 come, and her days shall not be prolonged. 
 
 CHAPTER XIV. 
 
 1 God's merciful restoration of Israel. 4 Their tri- 
 umphant insultation over Babel. 24 God's purpose 
 against Assyria. 29 Philistia is threatened. 
 
 FOR Jehovah °will have mercy on Ja- 
 cob, and 'will yet choose Israel, and 
 set them in their own land : "and the stran- 
 gers shall be joined with them, and they 
 shall cleave to the house of Jacob. 
 
 2 And the 'nations shall take them, d and 
 bring them to their place : and the house 
 of Israel shall possess them in the land 
 of Jehovah for servants and handmaids: 
 and they shall take them captives, twhose 
 captives they were ; 'and they shall rule 
 over their oppressors. 
 
 3 And it shall come to pass in the day 
 2 when Jehovah shall 3 have given thee rest 
 from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and 
 from the hard bondage wherein thou wast 
 made to serve, 
 
 4 If That thou 'shalt take up this Uproverb 
 against the king of Babylon, and say, How 
 hath the oppressor ceased, the s 4 exactress 
 of gold ceased ! 
 
 5 Jehovah hath broken A the staff of the 
 wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers. 
 
 6 He who smote the people in wrath with 
 ta continual stroke, he who ruled the na- 
 tions in anger, is persecuted, and 5 no one 
 hindereth. 
 
 7 The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet : 
 they break forth into singing. 
 
 8 'Yea, the 6 cypress-trees rejoice at thee, 
 and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since 
 thou art laid down, no feller is come up 
 against us. 
 
 9 *|| 7 Hell from beneath is moved for thee 
 to meet thee at thy coming : it 8 rouseth up 
 the dead for thee, even all the 'mighty of 
 the earth: it hath raised up from their 
 thrones all the kings of the nations. 
 
 10 All they shall speak and say to thee, 
 Art thou also become weak as we ? Art 
 thou become like to us ? 
 
 11 Thy pomp is brought down to the 
 '"grave, and the noise of thy "psalteries : 
 the worm is spread under thee, and the 
 worms cover thee.

 God's purpose against Assyria. 
 
 12 'How art thou fallen from heaven, O 
 l2 Day-star, son of the morning ! how art 
 thou cut down to the ground, who didst 
 "overthrow the nations V 
 
 13 For thou hast said in thy heart, m I will 
 ascend into heaven, "I will exalt my throne 
 above the stars of God: I will sit also on 
 the mount of the congregation, "in the "ut- 
 termost parts of the 15 north : 
 
 14 I will ascend above the heights of the 
 clouds ; f I will be like the Most High. 
 
 15 Yet thou «shalt be brought down to 
 16 hell, to the "depths of the pit. 
 
 16 Those who see thee shall ,8 gaze upon 
 thee, and consider thee, saying, 7s this the 
 man who made the earth to tremble, that 
 did shake kingdoms : 
 
 17 Wlio made the world 19 like a ^desert, 
 and destroyed the cities thereof: who 
 llopened not the house of his prisoners ? 
 
 18 All the kings of the nations, even all 
 of them, lie in glory, 2 'each one in his own 
 house. 
 
 19 But thou art cast out of thy grave like 
 an abominable branch, and as the raiment 
 of those who are slain, thrust through with 
 a sword, who go down to the stones of the 
 pit ; as a carcass trodden under foot. 
 
 20 Thou shalt not be joined with them 
 in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy 
 land, and slain thy people : the seed of 
 evil-doers shall never be renowned. 
 
 21 Prepare slaughter for his children s for 
 the iniquity of their fathers ; that they do 
 not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the 
 face of the world with cities. 
 
 22 For I will rise up against them, saith 
 Jehovah of hosts, and cut off from Baby- 
 lon 'the name, and "remnant, *and ^poste- 
 rity, and ^offspring, saith Jehovah. 
 
 23 "I will also make it a possession for 
 the "porcupine, and pools of water : and I 
 will sweep it with the ^broom of destruc- 
 tion, saith Jehovah of hosts. 
 
 24 H Jehovah of hosts hath sworn, saying, 
 Surely as I have thought, so shall it come 
 to pass ; and as I have purposed, so shall it 
 stand : 
 
 25 That I will break the Assyrian in my 
 land, and on my mountains tread him un- 
 der foot : then shall *his yoke depart from 26 
 them, and his burden depart from ** their 
 shoulders. 
 
 This is the purpose that is purposed 
 upon the whole earth: and this is the hand 
 that is stretched out upon all the nations. 
 
 27 For Jehovah of hosts hath "purposed, 
 and who shall disannul it? and his hand is 
 stretched out, and who shall turn it back ? 
 
 28 In the year that 'king Ahaz died was 
 this burden. 
 
 29 f Rejoice not thou, 28 all Philistia, 'be- 
 cause the rod of him who smote thee is 
 broken : for out of the serpent's root shall 
 come forth 29 an adder, ''and his fruit shall 
 be a fiery flying serpent. 
 
 30 And the first-born of the poor shall 
 feed, and the needy shall lie down in safe- 
 ty : 30 for I will kill thy root with famine, 
 and he shall slay thy remnant. 
 
 31 Howl, gate; cry, city; thou, 
 "Philistia, art ' wholly' dissolved : for 
 there shall come from the north a smoke, 
 and || 32 no one shall be alone in his ||ap- 
 pointed times.

 CHAPTER XV. 
 
 The lamentable state of Moab. 
 
 THE "burden of Moab. Because in the 
 night *Ar of Moab is laid waste, and 
 llbrought to silence; because in the night 
 Kir of Moab is laid waste, and brought to 
 silence ; 
 
 2 c He is gone up to Bajith, and to Dibon, 
 the high places, to weep: Moab shall howl 
 over N ebo, and over Medeba : d on all their 
 heads shall be baldness, and every beard 
 cut off. 
 
 3 In their streets they shall gird them- 
 selves with sackcloth : 'on the tops of their 
 houses, and in their streets, every one shall 
 howl, tweeping abundantly. 
 
 4 And Heshbon shall cry, 'and Elealeh ; 
 their voice shall be heard even to Jahaz : 
 therefore the armed soldiers of Moab shall 
 cry out ; his life shall be grievous to him. 
 
 5 --My heart shall cry out for Moab ; Ijhis 
 fugitives shall Jlee to Zoar, ' like' a ''heifer 
 of three years old : for 'by the mounting 
 up of Luhith with weeping shall they go ' 
 up; for in the way of Horonaim they shall 
 raise 2 a cry of tdestruction. 
 
 6 For the waters *of Nimrim shall be 
 tdesolate: for the 3 grass is withered away, 
 the 4 plant faileth, there is no green thing. 
 
 7 Therefore the 6 remnant which they have 
 secured, and which they have laid up, shall 
 they carry away to the ||brook of the willows. 
 
 8 For the cry is gone 6 around the borders 
 of Moab, the howling thereof to Eglaim, 
 and the howling thereof to Beer-elim. 
 
 9 For the waters of Dimon 7 are full of 
 blood : for I will bring tmore upon Dimon, 
 'lions upon him that escapeth of Moab, and 
 upon the remnant of the land. . 
 
 CHAPTER XVI. 
 
 1 Moab is exhorted to yield obedience to Christ's 
 kingdom. 6 Moab is threatened for her pride. 
 9 The prophet bewaileth her. 12 The judgment of 
 Moab. 
 
 "CEND ye the lamb to the ruler of the 
 ^ land 'from || tSela 'towards the 2 desert, 
 
 to the mount of the daughter of Zion. 
 
 2 For it shall be, that, 3 like a wandering 
 bird ||cast out of the nest, so the daughters 
 of Moab shall be at the fords of 'Arnon 
 
 3 4 Give counsel, execute justice; make 
 thy shadow 6 like the night in the midst of 
 the noon-day; hide the outcasts ; betray 
 not him who wandereth. 
 
 4 Let mine outcasts dwell with thee, Mo- 
 ab ; be thou a covert to them from the face 
 of the spoiler : for the textortioner is at an 
 end, the spoiler ceaseth, tthe oppressors 
 are consumed- 7 from the land. 
 
 5 And in 8 kindness d shall the throne be 
 [I established : and he shall sit on it in truth 
 in the 9 tent of David, 'judging, and seek- 
 ing judgment, and hasting righteousness. 
 
 6 -j] We have heard of the 'pride of Moab; 
 he is very proud : even of his haughtiness, 
 and his pride, and his wrath: e but his 
 '"boasting shall not be so. 
 
 7 Therefore shall Moab & howl for Moab, 
 everyone shall howl: for the "ruins *of 
 Kir-hareseth shall ye ||mourn ; surely they 
 are 12 afflicted.

 fallen on thy summer fruits and on thy

 10 And "gladness is taken away, and joy 
 out of the plentiful field ; and in the vine- 
 yards there shall be no singing, neither 
 shall there be shouting: the treaders shall 
 tread out no wine in their presses ; I have 
 made their vintage-shouting to cease.

 shall be seen that Moab is weary on ? the 
 high place, 20 for he 2I wilI come to his sanc- 
 tuary to pray ; but he shall not prevail. 
 
 13 This is the word which Jehovah hath 
 spoken concerning Moab ^formerly. 
 
 14 But now Jehovah hath spoken, saying, 
 Within three years, r as the years of a hire- 
 ling, and the glory of Moab shall be ^de- 
 spised, with all that great multitude ; and 
 the remnant shall be very small and Ijfeeble. 
 
 CHAPTER XVII. 
 
 1 Syria and Israel are threatened. 6 A remnant shall 
 forsake idolatry. 9 The rest shall be plagued for 
 their impiety. 12 The ivo of Israel's enemies. 
 
 THE "burden of Damascus. Behold, Da- 
 mascus is taken away from being a 
 city, and it shall be a ruinous heap. 
 
 2 The cities of Aroer are forsaken : they 
 shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, 
 and M no one shall make them, afraid. 
 
 3 'The fortress also shall cease from 
 Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, 
 and the remnant of Syria : they shall be 
 2 like the glory of the children of Israel, 
 saith Jehovah of hosts. 
 
 4 And in that dayit shall come to pass, that 
 the glory of Jacob shall be made thin, and 
 *the fatness of his flesh shall 'become lean. 
 
 5 'And it shall be as when the harvest- 
 man gathereth the 4 grain, and reapeth the 
 ears with his arm; and it shall be as he 
 who gathereth ears in the valley of Rephaim. 
 
 6 If f Yet gleaning-grapes shall be left in 
 it, 5 like the shaking of an olive-tree, two 
 or three berries on the top of the upper- 
 most bough, four or five in the 6 fruitful 
 branches thereof, saith Jehovah God of 
 Israel. 
 
 7 At that day shall a man --look to his 
 Maker, and his eyes shall 'regard the Holy 
 One of Israel. 
 
 8 And he shall not look to the altars, the 
 work of his hands, neither shall 8 he regard 
 that which his fingers have made, either 
 the groves, or the Uimages. 
 
 9 If In that day shall his strong cities be 
 9 like a forsaken '"nest, and an uppermost 
 branch, which they left because of the 
 children of Israel : and there shall be de- 
 solation. 
 
 10 Because thou hast forgotten "the God 
 of thy salvation, and hast not been mindful 
 of the Rock of thy strength, therefore shalt 
 thou plant pleasant plants, and shalt set it 
 with "foreign slips : 
 
 471 
 
The destruction of Ethiopia. 
 
 11 In the day shalt thou make thy plant 
 to grow, and in the morning shalt thou 
 make thy seed to flourish : but the harvest 
 shall be || lz removed in the day of 13 posses- 
 sion and M there shall be desperate sorrow. 
 
 12 If Wo to the Hmultitude of many peo^ 
 pie, who make a noise 'like the noise ot the 
 seas ; and to the rushing of nations, who 
 make a rushing like the rushing of || mighty 
 waters ! 
 
 13 The nations shall rush like the rush- 
 ing of 15 mighty waters : but God shall Re- 
 buke them, and they shall flee far off", and 
 'shall be chased 16 like the chaff" of the moun- 
 tains before the wind, and like ||a rolling 
 thing before the whirlwind. 
 
 14 And behold at "evening terror; and 
 before the morning 18 they are no more. 
 This is the portion of those who spoil us, 
 and the lot of those who rob us. 
 
 CHAPTER XVIII. 
 
 1 God in care of his people will destroy the Ethio- 
 pians. 1 An access thereby shall grow to the 
 church. 
 
 "\iyO "to the land 'sounding with wings, 
 * v which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia : 
 
 2 That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, 
 even in vessels of 2 reeds upon the waters, 
 saying; Go, ye swift messengers, to b a na- 
 tion 3 strong and ^destructive, to a people 
 terrible from their beginning hitherto; ta 
 nation 5 most mighty and victorious, || whose 
 land the rivers have 6 divided ! 
 
 3 All ye inhabitants of the world, and 
 dwellers on the earth, see ye, 'when he 
 lifteth up an ensign on the mountains; and 
 when he bloweth a trumpet, hear ye. 
 
 4 For so Jehovah said to me, I will take 
 my rest, and I will ||consider in my dwell- 
 ing-place like a clear heat 7 from the sun, 
 and. like a cloud of dew in the heat of 
 harvest. 
 
 _ 5 8 But before the harvest, when the bud 
 is perfect, and the sour grape is ripening 
 in the flower,he shall both cut oft" the 9 shoots 
 with pruning-hooks, and take away and 
 cut down the branches. 
 
 6 They shall be left together to the fowls 
 of the mountains, and to the beasts of the 
 earth: and the fowls shall summer upon 
 them, and all the beasts of the earth shall 
 winter upon them. 
 
 7 f 10 At that time ''shall the present be 
 brought to Jehovah of hosts "from a peo- 
 ple || 12 strong and destructive, and from a 
 people terrible from their beginning hither- 
 to ; a nation 13 most mighty and '^victorious, 
 whose land the rivers have "divided, to the 
 place of the name of Jehovah of hosts, the 
 mount Zion. 
 
 CHAPTER XIX. 
 
 1 The confusion of Egypt. 1 1 Tlie foolishness of 
 their princes. 18 The calling of Egypt to the 
 church. 23 The covenant of Egypt, Assyria, and 
 Israel. 
 
 THE "burden of Egypt. Behold, Jeho- 
 vah 'rideth on a swift cloud, and shall 
 come into Egypt : and the idols of Egypt 
 shall be moved at his presence, and the 
 heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it 
 2 And I will fset the Egyptians against 
 the Egyptians : and they shall fight every 
 one against his brother, and every one 
 against his neighbour; city against city, 
 and kingdom against kingdom.

 counsel thereof: and they shall 'seek to 
 the idols, and to the charmers, and to those 
 who have familiar spirits, and to the wi- 
 zards. 
 
 4 "And the Egyptians will I ||give ever 
 ^into the hand of a cruel lord ; and a fierce 
 king shall rule over them, saith Jehovah, 
 the 'Lord of hosts. 
 
 5 «And the waters shall fail from the sea, 
 and the river shall be wasted and dried up. 
 
 6 And 2 the streams shall become putrid ; 
 and the 3 canals ''of Egypt shall be emptied 
 and dried up: the reeds and flags shall 
 wither. 
 
 7 The 4 meadows by the 5 canals, by the 
 mouth of the 6 canals, and every thing sown 
 by the 7 canals, shall wither, be driven 
 away, tand be no more. 
 
 8 The fishers also shall mourn, and all 
 those who cast 8 the hook into the 9 canals 
 shall lament, and those who spread nets 
 upon the waters shall languish. 
 
 9 Moreover they that work in 'fine flax, 
 and those who weave '"white cloth, shall 
 be confounded. 
 
 10 And they shall be broken in the tpur- 
 poses thereof, all "who work for hire are 
 grieved in mind. 
 
 11 If Surely the princes of *Zoan are fools, 
 the counsel of the wise counsellors of Pha- 
 raoh is become ^stupid: how say ye to 
 Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the son 
 of ancient kings ? 
 
 12 'Where are they ? where are thy wise 
 men ? and let them tell thee now, and let 
 them 13 make known what Jehovah of hosts 
 hath purposed "against Egypt. 
 
 13 The princes of Zoan are become fools, 
 m the princes of Noph are deceived ; they 
 have also "caused Egypt to err, even they 
 who are the '"chiefs of the tribes thereof. 
 
 14 Jehovah hath mingled t"a perverse 
 spirit in the midst thereof: and they have 
 caused Egypt to err in every work there- 
 of, as a drunken man staggereth in his 
 vomiting. 
 
 15 Neither shall there be any work for 
 Egypt, which "the head or tail ,' palm'-branch 
 or "bulrush, may do. 
 
 16 In that day shall Egypt 'be like to wo- 
 men : and it shall "tremble and fear, be- 
 cause of the shaking of the hand of Jeho- 
 vah of hosts, 'which he shaketh over it. 
 
 17 And the land of Judah shall be a terror 
 to Egypt, every one who maketh mention 
 thereof shall be afraid in himself, because 
 of the counsel of Jehovah of hosts, which 
 he hath determined against it. 
 
 18 H In that day shall five cities in the 
 land of Egypt 'speak tthe language of Ca- 
 naan, and swear to Jehovah of hosts; one 
 shall be called, The city ||of destruction. 
 
 19 In that day 'shall there be an altar to 
 Jehovah in the midst of the land of Egypt, 
 and a pillar 19 by the border thereof to Je- 
 hovah. 
 
 20 And 'it shall be for a sign and for a 
 witness to Jehovah of hosts in the land of 
 Egypt: 20 because they 21 cried to Jehovah 
 22 on account of the oppressors, and he M sent 
 them a saviour, and a great one,- and he 
 "delivered "them. 
 
 21 And Jehovah shall be known to Egypt, 
 and the Egyptians shall know Jehovah in 
 
Prophecies against Egypt, 
 
 that day, and "shall ^offer sacrifice and 
 oblation; yea, they shall vow a vow to Je- 
 hovah, and perform it. 
 
 22 And Jehovah shall smite Egypt : he 
 shall smite and heal it : and they shall re- 
 turn even to Jehovah, and he shall be en- 
 treated M by them, and shall heal them. 
 
 23 H In that clay *shall there be a highway 
 ^from Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian 
 shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian 
 into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall^wor- 
 ship with the Assyrians. 
 
 24 In that day shall Israel be the third 
 with Egypt and with Assyria, even a bless- 
 ing in the midst of the land : 
 
 25 Whom Jehovah of hosts shall bless, 
 saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and 
 Assyria "the work of my hands, and Israel 
 mine inheritance. 
 
 CHAPTER XX. 
 
 A type prefiguring the shameful captivity of Egypt 
 and Ethiopia. 
 
 IN the year that "Tartan came to Ashdod, 
 (when Sargon the king of Assyria sent 
 him,) and fought against Ashdod,and took it; 
 
 2 At the same time spoke Jehovah tby 
 Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go, and 
 loose 'the sackcloth from ' thy loins, and 
 put off thy shoe from thy foot. And he did 
 so, 'walking naked and barefoot. 
 
 3 And Jehovah said, 2 As my servant 
 Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot 
 three years d for a sign and wonder upon 
 Egypt and upon Ethiopia ; 
 
 4 So shall the king of Assyria lead away 
 tthe Egyptians prisoners, and the Ethio- 
 pians captives, young and old, naked and 
 barefoot, 'even with their 3 hips uncovered, 
 to the tshame of Egypt. 
 
 5 'And they shall be 'terrified and asham- 
 ed of Ethiopia their expectation, and of 
 Egypt their glory. 
 
 6 And the inhabitant of this || 5 coast shall 
 say, in that day, Behold, such is our ex- 
 pectation, whither we flee for help to be 
 delivered from the king of Assyria: and 
 how shall we escape ? 
 
 CHAPTER XXI. 
 
 1 The prophet, bewailing the captivity of his people, 
 seeth in a vision the fall of Babylon by the Medes 
 and Persians. 11 Edom, scorning the prophet, is 
 moved to repentance. 13 The set time of Arabia's 
 calamity. 
 
 THE burden of the desert of the sea. As 
 "whirlwinds in the south l rush forth ; 
 so it cometh from the desert, from a terri- 
 ble land. 
 
 2 A t 2 painful vision is declared to me; 
 'The 'plunderer plundereth, and the spoU- 
 er spoil eth. 'Go up, Elam : besiege, 
 Media; all the sighing thereof have I made 
 to cease. 
 
 3 Therefore ""are my loins filled with pain : 
 'pangs have 4 seized me, 6 like the pangs of 
 a woman that travail eth : I was bowed 
 down at the hearing of it ; I was dismayed 
 at the seeing of it. 
 
 4 ||My heart panteth, fearfulness affiight- 
 eth me : /the night of my pleasure hath he 
 tturned into 6 dread to me. 
 
 5 s Prepare the table, watch in the watch- 
 tower, eat, drink : arise, ye princes, and 
 anoint the shield. 
 
 6 For thus hath the Lord said to me, Go, 
 set a watchman, let him declare what he 
 seeth.

 16 For thus hath the 15 Lord said to me, 
 Within a year, ^according to the years of 
 a hireling, and all the glory of r Kedar shall 
 16 be consumed : 
 
 17 And the residue of the number of 
 tarchers, the mighty men of the children 
 of Kedar, shall be diminished : for Jeho- 
 vah God of Israel hath spoken it. 
 
 CHAPTER XXII. 
 
 1 The prophet lamenteth the invasion of Judea by the 
 Persians. 8 He reproveth their human wisdom 
 and worldly joy. 15 He prophesieth Shebna's de- 
 privation, 20 and Eliakim, prefiguring the king- 
 dom of Christ, his substitution. 
 
 THE burden of the valley of vision. 
 What aileth thee now, that thou art 
 wholly gone up to the house-tops ? 
 
 2 Thou that 'wast full of 2 noise, a tumul- 
 tuous city, "a joyous city : thy slain 3 are 
 not slain with the sword, nor dead in battle. 
 
 3 All thy rulers are fled together, they 
 are bound tby the archers: all who are 
 found in thee are bound together, who have 
 fled from far. 
 
 4 Therefore said I, Look away from me ; 
 6 tl will weep bitterly, labour not to com- 
 fort me, because or the spoiling of the 
 daughter of my people. 
 
 5 'For it is a day or trouble, and of tread- 
 ing down, and of perplexity d by the Lord 
 Jehovah of hosts in the valley of vision, 
 breaking down the walls, and of crying to 
 the mountains. 
 
 6 e4 For Elam bore the quiver with cha- 
 riots of men and horsemen, and •''Kir tun- 
 covered the 5 buckler. 
 
 7 And it shall come to pass, that tthy 
 choicest valleys shall be full of chariots, 
 and the horsemen shall set themselves in 
 array ||at the gate. 
 
 8 ^y And he "removed the veil of Judah, 
 and thou didst look in that day to the ar-

ShebncPs downfall prophesied. 
 
 9 *Ye have seen also the breaches of the 
 city of David, that they are many: and ye 
 gathered together the waters of the lower 
 pool. 
 
 10 And ye have numbered the houses of 
 Jerusalem, and the houses have ye broken 
 down to fortify the wall. 
 
 11 'Ye made also a ditch between the 
 two walls for the water of the old pool; 
 but ye have not looked to Hhe maker there- 
 of, neither had respect to him who fashion- 
 ed it long ago. 
 
 12 And in that day did the Lord Jeho- 
 vah of hosts 'call to weeping, and to mourn- 
 ing, and m to baldness, and to girding with 
 sackcloth : 
 
 13 7 But behold joy and gladness, slaying 
 oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and 
 drinking wine : "let us eat and drink ; for 
 to-morrow we shall die. 
 
 14 "And it was revealed in 8 my hearing 
 by Jehovah of hosts, Surely this iniquity 
 ''shall not be '"cleansed from you till ye 
 die, saith the Lord Jehovah of hosts. 
 
 15 *[f Thus saith Jehovah God of hosts, 
 Go '° to this treasurer, even to 'Shebna, 
 r who is over the house, and say, 
 
 16 What hast thou here, and whom hast 
 thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out a 
 sepulchre here, Was he 'who heweth him out 
 a sepulchre on high, and that "carveth a 
 habitation for himself in a rock ? 
 
 17 Behold, || Jehovah will 12 castthee away 
 with ta mighty I3 throw, 'and will surely 
 I4 roll thee together. 
 
 18 He will surely violently 15 roll and toss 
 thee like a ball into a tlarge country : there 
 shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy 
 
 flory shall be the 16 disgrace of thy lord's 
 ouse. 
 
 19 And I will drive thee from thy station, 
 and from thy n post shall he pull thee down. 
 
 20 ^ And it shall come to pass in that 
 day, that I will call my servant "Eliakim, 
 the son of Hilkiah : 
 
 21 And I will clothe him with thy robe, 
 and strengthen him with thy girdle, and I 
 will commit thy government into his hand : 
 and he shall be a father to the inhabitants 
 of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah. 
 
 22 And the key of the house of David 
 will I lay on his shoulder: so he shall *open, 
 and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and 
 none shall open. 
 
 23 And I will fasten him is like "a nail in 
 a sure place ; and he shall be for a glorious 
 throne to his father's house. 
 
 24 And they shall hang on him all the 
 glory of his father's house, the 'honour- 
 able' offspring and the ' base' issue, all 
 vessels of small quantity, from the vessels 
 of 19 bowls,even to all the vessels of 20 pitchers. 
 
 25 In that day, saith Jehovah of hosts, 
 shall the nail which is fastened in the sure 
 
 ?>lace be removed, and be cut down, and 
 all; and the burden that was upon it shall 
 be cut off: for Jehovah hath spoken it.

 The miserable overthrow of Tyre. 
 
 thou whom the merchants of Zidon, who 
 pass over the sea, have ^lled. 
 
 3 And by great waters the seed of 3 the 
 Nile, the harvest of the river, is her reve- 
 nue ; and c she is a mart of nations. 
 
 4 Be thou ashamed, O Zidon: for the sea 
 hath spoken, even the strength of the sea, 
 saying, I travail not, nor bring forth child- 
 ren, neither do I nourish x young men, nor 
 bring up virgins. 
 
 5 d As at the report concerning Egypt, so 
 shall they be sorely pained at the report of 
 Tyre. 
 
 6 Pass ye over to Tarshish ; howl, ye in- 
 habitants of the isle. 
 
 7 Is this your 'joyous city, whose anti- 
 quity is of ancient days ? her own feet 
 shall carry her tafar off to sojourn. 
 
 8 Who hath 6 purposed this against Tyre, 
 / the crowning city, whose merchants e were 
 princes, whose traffickers ''were the honour- 
 able of the earth ? 
 
 9 Jehovah of hosts hath purposed it, tto 
 stain the pride of all glory, and to bring 
 into contempt all the honourable of the 
 earth. 
 
 10 Pass through thy land 8 like a river, O 
 daughter of Tarshish : there is no more 
 tstrength. 
 
 11 He stretched out his hand over the 
 sea, he shook the kingdoms : Jehovah hath 
 given a commandment Hagainst tthe mer- 
 chuxit-city, to destroy the ||strong holds 
 thereof. 
 
 12 And he said, «Thou shalt no more re- 
 joice, O thou 'dishonoured virgin, daugh- 
 ter of Zidon : arise, 'pass over to Chittim; 
 there also shalt thou have no rest. 
 
 13 Behold the land of the Chaldeans; 
 this people was not, till the Assyrian found- 
 ed it for 'those who dwell in the '"desert : 
 they set up the ' watch'-towers thereof, 
 they raised up the palaces thereof, and he 
 brought it to ruin. 
 
 14 *Howl, ye ships of Tarshish: for your 
 "fortress is laid waste. 
 
 15 And it shall come to pass in that day, 
 that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, 
 according to the days of one king: after 
 the end of seventy years tshall Tyre sing 
 ,2 like a harlot. 
 
 16 Take a harp, go about the city, thou 
 harlot that hast been forgotten ; make sweet 
 melody, sing many songs, that thou mayest 
 be remembered. 
 
 17 If And it shall come to pass after the 
 end of seventy years, that Jehovah will 
 visit Tyre, and she shall turn to her hire, 
 and 'shall commit fornication with all the 
 kingdoms of the world on the face of the 
 earth. 
 
 18 "But her merchandise and her hire 
 "shall be "hallowed to Jehovah : it shall 
 not be treasured nor laid up ; for her mer- 
 chandise shall be for those who dwell be- 
 fore Jehovah, to eat sufficiently, and for 
 "splendid clothing. 
 
 CHAPTER XXIV. 
 
 1 The doleful judgments of God upon the land. 13 A 
 remnant shall joyfully praise him. 1G God in his 
 judgments shall advance his kingdom. 
 
 BEHOLD, Jehovah maketh the earth 
 empty, and maketh it waste, and tturn- 
 eth it upside down, and scattereth ' the in- 
 habitants thereof. 
 2 And it shall be, as with the people, so 
 
GotPs judgments upon the land. 
 
 CHAPTERS XXV. XXVI. Praise for judgments and mercies. 
 
 with the || "priest ; a%with the servant, so 
 with his master; as with the maid, so with 
 her mistress ; *as with the buyer, so witli 
 the seller ; as with the lender, so with the 
 borrower; as with the taker of "interest, 
 so with the giver of interest to him. 
 -3 The land shall be utterly emptied, and 
 utterly spoiled : for Jehovah hath spoken 
 this word. 
 
 4 The earth mourneth and fadeth away, 
 the world languisheth and fadeth away, 
 tthe haughty people of the earth 4 languish. 
 
 5 'The earth also is denied under the in- 
 habitants thereof; because they have trans- 
 gressed the laws, changed the ordinance, 
 broken the everlasting covenant. 
 
 6 Therefore hath ''the curse devoured the 
 earth, and those who dwell therein are de- 
 solate: therefore the inhabitants of the 
 earth are burned, and few men left. 
 
 7 'The new wine mourneth, the vine lan- 
 guisheth, all the merry -hearted 5 sigh. 
 
 8 The mirth / of tabrets ceaseth, the noise 
 of those who rejoice endeth, the joy of the 
 harp ceaseth. 
 
 9 They shall not drink wine with a song ; 
 strong drink shall be bitter to those who 
 drink it. 
 
 10 The city of s desolation is broken down : 
 every house is shut up, ' so' that no man 
 may come in. 
 
 11 There is a crying for wine in the 
 streets ; all joy is darkened, the mirth of 
 the land is gone. 
 
 12 In the city is left desolation, and the 
 gate is smitten with destruction. 
 
 13 ^ When thus it shall be in the midst 
 of the land among the people, Hhere shall 
 be as the shaking of an olive-tree, and as 
 the gleaning-grapes when the vintage is 
 done. 
 
 14 They shall lift up their voice, they 
 shall sing for the majesty of Jehovah, they 
 shall 'shout aloud from the sea. 
 
 15 Wherefore glorify ye Jehovah in the 
 8 East, even *the name of Jehovah God of 
 Israel in the isles of the sea. 
 
 16 If From the 9 end of the earth have we 
 heard songs, even glory to the Righteous. 
 But I said, tMy leanness, my leanness, wo 
 to me ! Hhe '"plunderers have "plundered ; 
 yea, the "plunderers have "plundered the 
 spoil. 
 
 17 * u Terror, and the pit, and the snare, 
 are on thee, inhabitant of the earth. 
 
 18 And it shall come to pass, that he who 
 fleeth from the noise of the ^terror shall 
 fall into the pit ; and he who cometh up 
 out of the midst of the pit shall be taken 
 in the snare : for 'the windows from on 
 high are open, and m the foundations of the 
 earth is tremble. 
 
 19 "The earth is utterly broken down, the 
 earth is "utterly broken in pieces, the earth 
 is moved exceedingly. 
 
 20 The earth shall "reel to and fro like a 
 drunkard, and shall be removed like a cot- 
 tage ; and the transgression thereof shall 
 be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not 
 rise again. 
 
 21 And it shall come to pass in that day, 
 that Jehovah shall tpunish the host of the 
 high ones ivho are on high, p and the kings 
 of the earth on the earth. 
 
 22 And they shall be gathered together,

 CHAPTER XXV. 
 
 1 The prophet praiseth God, for his judgments, 6 for 
 his saving benefits, 9 and for his victorious salva- 
 tion. 
 
 O JEHOVAH, thou art my God; "I will 
 exalt thee, I will praise thy name; 'for 
 thou hast done wonderful things; Hhy 
 counsels of old are faithfulness and truth. 
 
 2 For thou hast made dl the city a heap; 2 
 a "fortified city a ruin: a 4 fortress of stran- 
 gers to be no city ; it shall never be built. 
 
 3 Therefore shall the strong people 'glo- 
 rify thee, the city of the terrible nations 
 shall fear thee. 
 
 4 For thou hast been a 6 defence to the 
 poor, a "defence to the needy in his distress, 
 f & refuge from the storm, a shadow from 
 the heat, when the blast of the terrible 
 ones 1 was like a storm against 8 a wall. 
 
 5 Thou shalt bring down the 9 tumult of 
 strangers, "like the heat in a dry "land ; 
 even the heat with the shadow of a cloud : 
 the ^song of the terrible ones shall be 
 brought low. 
 
 6 If And in *this mountain shall "Jehovah 
 of hosts make 13 for 'all people a feast of fat 
 things, a feast of wines on the lees ; of fat 
 things full of marrow, of wines on the lees 
 well refined. 
 
 7 And he will tdestroy in this mountain 
 the face of the covering tcast over all peo- 
 ple, "even *the vail that is spread over all 
 nations. 
 
 8 He will 'swallow up death in victory ; 
 and the Lord Jehovah will m wipe away 
 tears from 15 all faces ; and the rebuke of 
 his people shall he take away from 16 all 
 the earth : for Jehovah hath spoken it. 
 
 9 IT And it shall be said in that day, Lo, 
 this is our God ; "we have waited for him, 
 and he "hath saved us: this is Jehovah: 
 we have waited for him, "we will be glad 
 and rejoice in his salvation. 
 
 10 For on this mountain shall the hand 
 of Jehovah rest, and Moab shall be ||trod- 
 den down under him, even as straw is 
 Htrodden down for the dunghill. 
 
 11 And he shall spread forth his hands 
 in the midst of 19 it, as he who swimmeth 
 spreadeth forth his hands to swim : and he 
 shall bring down their pride together with 
 the spoils of ^his hands. 
 
 12 And the 'fortress of the high fort of 
 thy walls shall he bring down, lay low, Z1 
 bring to the ground, a to the dust. 
 
 CHAPTER XXVI. 
 
 1 A song inciting to confidence in God, 5 for his 
 judgments, 12 and for his favour to his people. 
 20 An exhortation to wait on God. 
 
 IN "that day shall this song be sung in the 
 land of Judah ; We have a strong city; 
 'salvation will God appoint for walls and 
 bulwarks. 
 
 2 'Open ye the gates, that the righteous na- 
 tion which keepeth the ttruth may enter in. 
 
 3 Thou wilt keep him tin perfect peace 
 whose || mind is 'steadfast: because he 
 trusteth in thee. 
 
 475 
 
I 
 
 A song inciting to confidence in God. 
 
 4 Trust ye in Jehovah for ever : d for in 
 Jah JEHOVAH is teverlasting strength: 
 
 5 If For he bringeth down those who 
 dwell on high ; 'the lofty city, he layeth it 
 low ; he layeth it low, 2 to the ground ; he 
 bringeth it 3 to the dust. 
 
 6 The foot shall tread it down, 4 the feet 
 of the poor, 6 the steps of the needy. 
 
 7 The way of the just is uprightness: 
 'thou, most upright, dost 6 smooth the path 
 of the just. 
 
 8 Yea, e in the way of thy judgments, 
 Jehovah, have we waited for thee; the 
 desire of our soul is to thy name, and to 
 the remembrance of thee. 
 
 9 A With my soul have I desired thee in 
 the night ; yea, with my spirit within me 
 will I seek thee early: for when thy judg- 
 ments are in the earth, the inhabitants of 
 the world will learn righteousness. 
 
 10 'Let favour be shewed to the wicked, 
 et he will not learn righteousness: in Hhe 
 and of uprightness he will deal unjustly, 
 
 and will not 'regard the majesty of Jehovah. 
 
 11 Jehovah, when thy hand is lifted 
 up, 'they will not see : but they shall see, 
 and be ashamed for Hhy zeal towards the 
 people ; yea, the fire of thine enemies shall 
 devour them. 
 
 12 If Jehovah, thou wilt ordain peace 
 for us : for thou also hast wrought all our 
 works 9 for us. 
 
 13 Jehovah our God, m other lords be- 
 sides thee have had dominion over us ; but 
 by thee only will we make mention of thy 
 name. 
 
 14 T7iey are dead, they shall not live ; 
 they are deceased, they shall not rise : 
 therefore hast thou visited and destroyed 
 them, and made all their memory to perish. 
 
 15 Thou hast increased the nation, Je- 
 hovah, thou hast increased the nation ; 
 thou art glorified : thou hadst removed it 
 far to all the ends of the earth. 
 
 16 Jehovah, "in trouble have they vi- 
 sited thee ; they poured out a tprayer ivhen 
 thy chastening was upon them. 
 
 \7 10 As "a woman with child, who draw- 
 eth near the time of her delivery, is in pain, 
 and crieth out in her pangs ; so have we 
 been in thy sight, Jehovah. 
 
 18 We nave been with child, we have 
 been in pain, we have as it were brought 
 forth wind ; we have not wrought any de- 
 liverance in the earth ; neither have p the 
 inhabitants of the world "fallen. 
 
 19 «Thy dead 12 shall live, together with 
 13 my dead body shall they arise. 'Awake 
 and sing, ye who dwell in dust : for thy 
 dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth 
 shall "bring forth the dead. 
 
 20 ^f Come, my people, 'enter thou into 
 thy chambers, and shut thy doors about 
 thee : hide thyself as it were 'for a little 
 16 while, until the indignation be overpast. 
 
 21 For behold, Jehovah "cometh 16 from 
 his place to punish the inhabitants of the 
 earth, for their iniquity : the earth also shall 
 disclose her tblood, and shall no more 
 cover her slain.

 Jacob be "cleansed ; and this is all the 
 fruit to take away his sin ; when he maketh 
 all the stones of the altar as 12 lime-stones 
 which are beaten in sunder, the groves and 
 lliinages shall not stand up. 
 
 10 Yet the "fortified city shall be desolate, 
 and the habitation forsalcen, and left like 
 a "waste region: "there shall the calf feed, 
 and there shall he lie down, and consume 
 the branches thereof. 
 
 11 "When the boughs thereof are wither- 
 ed, they shall be broken off: the women 
 come and set them on fire: for nI5 they are 
 a people of no understanding: therefore he 
 who made them will not have mercy on 
 them, and "he who formed them will shew 
 them no favour.

 Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by 
 one, O ye children of Israel. 
 
 13 'And it shall come to pass in that day, 
 Hhat the great trumpet shall be blown, and 
 they shall come who were ready to perish 
 in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in 
 the land of Egypt, and shall worship Je- 
 hovah on the holy mount at Jerusalem. 
 
 CHAPTER XXVIII. 
 
 1 The prophet threateneth Ephraim for their pride 
 and drunkenness. 5 The residue shall be advanced 
 in the kingdom of Christ. 7 He rebuketh their 
 error. 9 Their untowardness to learn, 14 and their 
 security. 16 Christ the sure foundation is pro- 
 mised. 18 Their security shall be tried. 23 They 
 are incited to the consideration of God's discreet 
 providence. 
 
 WO to "the crown of pride, to the drunk- 
 ards of Ephraim, whose 'glorious 
 beauty is a fading flower, which is on the 
 head of the 'fertile vallevs of those who 
 are tovercome with wine ! 
 
 2 Behold, Jehovah hath a mighty and 
 strong one, c which 2 like a tempest of hail 
 and a destroying storm, 3 like a flood of 
 mighty waters overflowing, shall cast down 
 to the earth with the hand. 
 
 3 d The crown of pride, the drunkards of 
 Ephraim, shall be trodden tunder foot : 
 
Christ, a sure foundation, promised. 
 
 4 And 'the glorious beauty, which is on 
 the head of the ^fertile valley, shall be a 
 fading flower, and 6 like the hasty fruit be- 
 fore the summer; which when he that look- 
 eth upon it seeth, while it is yet in his 
 hand he teateth it up. 
 
 5 If In that day shall Jehovah of hosts be 
 for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of 
 beauty, to the residue of his people, 
 
 6 And for a spirit of judgment to him who 
 sitteth in judgment, ana for strength to 
 those who turn the battle to the gate. 
 
 7 f But they also 'have erred through 
 wine, and through strong drink are out of 
 the way ; *the priest and the prophet have 
 erred through strong drink, they are "over- 
 powered by wine, they are out of the way 
 through strong drink ; they err in vision, 
 they stumble in judgment. 
 
 8 For all tables are full of vomit and 
 filthiness, T there is no place clean. 
 
 9 If *Whom shall he teach knowledge ? 
 and whom shall he make to understand 
 instruction? those who are weaned from 
 the milk, and drawn from the breasts. 
 
 10 For precept \\must be upon precept, 
 precept upon precept ; line upon line, line 
 upon line; here a little, and there a little: 
 
 11 For with t'stammering lips and an- 
 other tongue || will he speak to this people. 
 
 12 To whom he said, This is the rest 
 wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest ; 
 and this is the refreshing : yet they would 
 not hear. 
 
 13 But the word of Jehovah was to them, 
 precept upon precept, precept upon pre- 
 cept ; line upon line, line upon line ; here 
 a little, and there a little ; that they might 
 go, and fall backward, and be broken, and 
 ensnared, and taken. 
 
 14 If Wherefore hear the word of Jeho- 
 vah, ye scornful men, who rule this peo- 
 ple who is in Jerusalem. 
 
 15 Because ye have said, We have made 
 a covenant with death, and with 9 the grave 
 are we at agreement; when the overflowing 
 scourge shall pass through, it shall not 
 come to us : *ror we have made lies our 
 refuge, and under falsehood have we hid- 
 den ourselves : 
 
 16 If Therefore thus saith the Lord Je- 
 hovah, Behold, I lay in Zion for a founda- 
 tion 'a stone, a tried stone, a precious cor- 
 ner stone, a sure foundation : he that be- 
 lieveth shall not 10 flee away. 
 
 17 "Justice also will I lay to the line, and 
 righteousness to the plummet: and the hail 
 shall sweep away m the refuge of lies, and 
 the waters shall overflow the hiding-place. 
 
 18 If And your covenant with death shall 
 be disannulled, and your agreement with 
 !2 hell shall not stand ; when the overflow- 
 ing scourge shall pass through, then ye 
 shall be ttrodden down by it. 
 
 19 From the time that it goeth forth it 
 shall take you : for morning by morning 
 shall it pass over, by day and by night : 
 and it shall be a vexation only \\to under- 
 stand the report. 
 
 20 For the bed is shorter than that a man 
 can stretch himself on it: and the covering 
 narrower than that he can wrap himself 
 in it. 
 
 21 For Jehovah 13 will rise up as in mount 
 "Perazim, he "will be 15 angry. as in the 
 valley of "Gibeon, that he may do his work,

 ||the l9 wheat ' in rows', and the appointed 
 barley, and the ||rye in ^its tplace ? 
 
 26 ||Por his God doth instruct him to dis- 
 cretion, and doth teach him. 
 
 27 For the 21 fennel is not threshed with a 
 threshing instrument, neither ^are thresh- 
 ing-rollers turned about upon the cummin; 
 but the ^fennel is beaten out with a staff, 
 and the cummin with a rod. 
 
 28 Bread-corn is bruised ; because he will 
 not "always be threshing it, nor break it 
 with the wheel of his cart, nor bruise it 
 with his horsemen. 
 
 29 This also cometh forth from Jehovah 
 of hosts, 'who is wonderful in counsel, and 
 excellent in working. 
 
 CHAPTER XXIX. 
 
 1 God's heavy judgment upon Jerusalem. 7 The un- 
 satiableness of her enemies. 9 The senselessness, 
 13 and deep hypocrisy of the Jews. IS A promise 
 of sanctification to the godly. 
 
 WO ||°to Ariel, to Ariel, lithe city b where 
 David dwelt ! add ye year to year ; 
 let Hhe feasts go around, 
 
 2 Yet I will distress Ariel, and there 
 shall be heaviness and sorrow : 2 yet it shall 
 be to me as Ariel. 
 
 3 And I will encamp against thee 3 arqund, 
 and will lay siege against thee with a 
 mount, and I will raise 4 towers against 
 thee. 
 
 4 And thou shalt be brought down, and 
 shalt speak out of the ground, and thy 
 speech shall be low out of the dust, and 
 thy voice shall be 6 like 'thaf of one who 
 hath a familar spirit, 'out of the ground, 
 and thy speech shall twhisper out of the 
 dust. 
 
 5 Moreover, the multitude of 6 thine 'ene- 
 mies shall be like small dust, and the mul- 
 titude of the terrible ones shall be 'as chaff 
 that passeth away : yea, it shall be -^at an 
 instant suddenly. 
 
 6 *Thou shalt be visited 7 by Jehovah of 
 hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, 
 and great noise, with storm and tempest, 
 and the flame of devouring fire. 
 
 7 If ''And the multitude of all the nations 
 that fight against Ariel, even all that fight 
 against her and her "fortress, and that dis- 
 tress her, shall be <9 like a dream of a night 
 vision. 
 
 8 *It shall even be as when a hungry man 
 dreameth, and behold, he eateth ; but he 
 awaketh, and 10 he is empty : or as when a 
 thirsty man dreameth, and behold, he 
 drinketh; but he awaketh, and behold, he 
 is faint, and "he hath appetite : so shall 
 the multitude of all the nations be, that 
 fight against mount Zion. 
 
 9f w Tarry, and wonder; ||cry ye out, 
 
 477 
 
The Jews' hypocrisy threatened. 
 
 and cry: 'they are drunken, "but not with 
 wine; they stagger, but not with strong 
 drink. 
 
 10 For "Jehovah hath poured out upon 
 you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath "clos- 
 ed your eyes: the prophets and your trul- 
 ers, 'the seers hath he covered. 
 
 11 And the vision of all is become to you 
 ,3 like the words of a ||book 'which is seal- 
 ed, which men deliver to one who is learn- 
 ed, saying, Read this, I pray thee: r and 
 he saith, 1 cannot; for it is sealed : 
 
 12 And the book is delivered to him who 
 is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray 
 thee : and he saith, I am not learned. 
 
 13 If Wherefore Jehovah said, ' 14 Because 
 this people draw near me with their mouth, 
 and with their lips do honour me, but have 
 removed their heart far from me, and their 
 fear towards me is taught by 'the precept 
 of men : 
 
 14 "Therefore behold, tl will proceed to 
 do 15 an astonishing work among this people, 
 even 16 an astonishing work and a wonder : 
 *for the wisdom of their wise men shall 
 perish, and the understanding of their pru- 
 dent men shall be hidden. 
 
 15 "Wo to those who seek deep to hide 
 their counsel from Jehovah, and their 
 works are in the dark, and they say, Who 
 seeth us ? and who knoweth us ? 
 
 16 Surely your "perverseness shall be 
 esteemed as the potter's clay : for shall the 
 *work say of him who made it, He made 
 me not ? or shall the thing framed say of 
 him who framed it, He bad no under- 
 standing? 
 
 17 Is it not yet a very little while, and 
 'Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful 
 field, and the fruitful field shall be esteem- 
 ed as a forest ? \ 
 
 18 f And ^n that day shall the deaf hear 
 the words of the book, and the eyes of the 
 blind shall see out of obscurity, and out 
 of darkness. 
 
 19 'The meek also tshall increase their 
 joy in Jehovah, and -^the poor among men 
 shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel. 
 
 20 For the ''oppressor is brought to "no- 
 thing, and e the scorner is consumed, and 
 all who "watch for iniquity are cut off: 
 
 21 Who make a man an offender for a 
 word, and "lay a snare for him that reprov- 
 eth in the gate, and turn aside the just *for 
 ^nothing. 
 
 22 Therefore thus saith Jehovah, 'who 
 redeemed Abraham, concerning the house 
 of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, 
 neither shall his face now 2l grow pale. 
 
 23 But when he seeth his children, m the 
 work of my hands, in the midst of him, 
 they shall ^reverence my name, and ^re- 
 verence the Holy One of Jacob, and shall 
 fear the God of Israel. 
 
 24 They also "who erred in spirit tshall 
 come to understanding, and they who mur- 
 mured shall learn ^instruction.

 [Iconcerning this, 'Their strength is to sit 
 still. 
 
 8 «|f Now go, "write it before them 6 on a 
 tablet, and note it in a book, that it may 
 be for tthe time to come for ever and ever : 
 
 9 That "this is a rebellious people, lying 
 children, children who will not hear the 
 law of Jehovah : 
 
 10 "Who say to the seers, See not ; and 
 to the prophets, Prophesy not to us right 
 things, ''speak to us smooth things, pro- 
 phesy deceits : 
 
 11 7 Go out of the way, turn aside "from 
 the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to 
 cease from before us. 
 
 12 Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of 
 Israel, Because ye despise this word, and 
 trust in ||oppression and perverseness, and 
 9 lean thereon : 
 
 13 Therefore this iniquity shall be to you 
 «'°like a breach ready to fall, swelling out 
 in a high wall, whose breaking r cometh 
 suddenly at an instant. 
 
 14 And "he shall break it "like the break- 
 ing of tthe potters' vessel that is broken in 
 pieces ; he shall not spare : so that there 
 shall not be found in the bursting of it a 
 sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to 
 take water I2 from the pit. 
 
 15 For thus saith the Lord Jehovah, the 
 Holy One of Israel ; 'In returning and rest 
 shall ye be saved ; in quietness and in con- 
 fidence shall be your strength : "and ye 
 would not. 
 
 16 But ye said, No ; for we will flee on 
 horses ; therefore shall ye flee : and, We 
 will ride on the swift; therefore shall those 
 who pursue you be swift. 
 
 17 *One thousand shall flee at the rebuke 
 of one ; at the rebuke of five shall ye flee: 
 till ye ,3 are left "like ||a beacon on the top 
 of a mountain, and I5 like an ensign on a 
 hill. 
 
 18 If And therefore will Jehovah wait, 
 that he maybe "compassionate to you, and 
 therefore will he be exalted, that he may 
 have mercy upon you : for Jehovah is a 
 God of judgment: ''blessed are all those 
 who wait for him. 
 
 19 For the people *shall dwell in Zion at 
 Jerusalem : thou shalt weep no more : he 
 will be very "compassionate to thee at the

 voice of thy cry ; when he shall hear it, he 
 will answer thee. 
 
 20 And though Jehovah ,8 hath given you 
 "the bread of adversity, and the water of 
 ilafliiction, yet shall not 'thy teachers be 
 removed into a corner any more, but thine 
 eyes shall see thy teachers : 
 
 21 And thine ears shall hear a word be- 
 hind thee, saying, This is the way, walk 
 ye in it, when ye 'turn to the right hand, 
 and when ye turn to the left. 
 
 22 d Ye shall defile also the covering of 
 tthy graven images of silver, and the or- 
 nament of thy molten images of gold : thou 
 shalt tcast them away as a 19 polluted cloth ; 
 'thou shalt say to it, 20 Go hence. 
 
 23 'Then shall he give the rain 21 for thy 
 seed, 22 ' with which' thou shalt sow the 
 ground M ; and bread of the increase of the 
 earth, and it shall be "fertile and plenteous : 
 in that day shall thy cattle feed in large 
 pastures. 
 
 24 The oxen likewise and the young asses 
 that plow the ground shall eat ^mixed pro- 
 vender, which hath been winnowed with 
 the shovel and with the fan. 
 
 25 And there shall be ? on every high 
 mountain, and on every thigh hill, rivers 
 and streams of waters in the day of the 
 great slaughter, when the towers fall. 
 
 26 Moreover *the light of the moon shall 
 be 2e like the light of the sun, and the light 
 of the sun shall be sevenfold, "like the 
 light of seven days, in the day 28 when Je- 
 hovah bindeth up the 29 bruise of his people, 
 and healeth the stroke of their wound. 
 
 27 If Behold, the name of Jehovah com- 
 eth from far, burning with his anger, and 
 the '"burning is 31 violent : his lips are full 
 of indignation, and his tongue 32 like a de- 
 vouring fire: 
 
 28 And 'nis breath, 33 like an overflowing 
 stream, 'shall reach to the midst of the 
 neck, to 34 toss the nations with the sieve 
 of ^destruction : and there shall be 'a bridle 
 in the jaws of the people, causing them 
 to err. 
 
 29 Ye shall have a song, as in the night 
 m when a holy ^feast is kept ; and gladness 
 of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to 
 come into "the mountain of Jehovah, to 
 the tMighty One of Israel. 
 
 30 "And Jehovah shall cause this glorious 
 voice to be heard, and shall shew the light- 
 ing down of his arm, with the indignation 
 of his anger, and with the flame of a de- 
 vouring fire, with 37 storm, and tempest, 
 p and hail -stones. 
 
 31 For 938 by the voice of Jehovah shall 
 the Assyrian be beaten down, r who smote 
 with a rod. 
 
 32 And in every place where the 39 ap- 
 pointed staff shall pass, which Jehovah 
 shall tlay upon him, it shall be with tabrets 
 and harps: and in battles of ,40 tumult will 
 he fight 41 against them. 
 
 33 'For w a burning-place is ordained tof 
 old ; yea, for the king it is prepared ; he 
 hath made it deep and large: the pile 
 thereof is fire and much wood; the breath 
 of Jehovah, like a stream of brimstone, 
 doth kindle it.

 \UO to those "who go down to Egypt for 
 vv help; and "confide in horses, and 
 trust in chariots, because they are many ; 
 and in horsemen, because they are very 
 strong ; but they look not to the Holy One 
 of Israel, 'neither seek Jehovah ! 
 
 2 Yet he also is wise, and will bring evil, 
 and d will not tcall back his words: but 
 will arise against the house of the evil- 
 doers, and against the help of those who 
 work iniquity. 
 
 3 Now the Egyptians are c men, and not 
 God; and their norses flesh, and not spirit. 
 When Jehovah shall stretch out his hand, 
 both he that helpeth shall fall, and he that 
 is 2 helped shall fall down, and they all 
 shall fail together. 
 
 4 For thus hath Jehovah spoken to me, 
 'Like 3 the lion and the young lion roaring 
 4 over his prey, when a multitude of shep- 
 herds is called forth against him, he will not 
 be afraid of their voice, nor abase himself 
 for Hheir tumult : g so 6 will Jehovah of hosts 
 come down to fight for mount Zion, and 
 for the hill thereof. 
 
 5 * 7 Like birds 8 hovering, so will Jehovah 
 of hosts defend Jerusalem ; 'defending also 
 he will deliver it; and passing over he 
 will preserve it. 
 
 6 "U Turn ye to him from whom the child- 
 ren of Israel have 'deeply revolted. 
 
 7 For in that day every man shall 'cast 
 away his idols of silver, and this idols of 
 gold, which your own hands have made to 
 you for m a sin. 
 
 8 *H Then shall the Assyrian "fall with the 
 sword, not of a mighty man ; and the sword, 
 not of a mean man, Shall devour him : but 
 he shall flee ||from the sword, and his young 
 men shall be tributaries. 
 
 9 And "the shall pass over to ||his strong 
 hold for fear, and his princes shall be afraid 
 of the ensign, saith Jehovah, whose fire is 
 in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.

 is foreshewn. 15 Restoration is promised to suc-

 BEHOLD, °a King shall reign in right- 
 eousness, and princes shall rule in 
 judgment. 
 
 2 And a man shall be as a hiding-place 
 from the wind, and l a covert from the tem- 
 pest ; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the 
 shadow of a tgreat rock in a weary land. 
 
 3 And c the eyes of those who ' can' see 
 shall not be 'blind, and the ears of them 
 who ' can' hear shall hearken. 
 
 4 The heart also of the trash shall under- 
 stand knowledge, and the tongue of the 
 stammerers shail be ready to spealc Uplainly. 
 
 5 The vile person shall be no more called 
 liberal, nor the 2 knave said to be bountiful. 
 
 6 For the vile person will speak villany, 
 and his heart will work iniquity, to prac- 
 tise 3 deceit, and to utter error against Je- 
 hovah, to make empty the soul of the hun- 
 gry ; and he will cause the drink of the 
 thirsty to fail. 
 
 7 The instruments also of the 4 knave are 
 evil : he deviseth wicked devices to destroy 
 the poor with lying words, even |]when the 
 needy speaketh right. 
 
 8 But the liberal deviseth liberal things ; 
 and by liberal things shall he ||stand.

 11 Tremble, ye women who are at ease ;

 sackcloth upon your loins. 
 
 12 They snail lament for the 'breasts, for 
 tthe pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine. 
 
 13 'On the land of my people shall come 
 up thorns and briers; llyea, on all the 
 houses of joy in ^the joyous city : 
 
 14 ^Because the palaces shall be forsaken; 
 the 8 tumult of the city shall be "solitary ; 
 the '"strong hills and towers shall be tor 
 dens for ever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture 
 of flocks ; 
 
 15 Until *the Spirit be poured upon us 
 from on high, and the "waste region be a 
 fruitful field, and the fruitful field be 
 counted for a forest. 
 
 16 Then 12 justice shall dwell in the'*waste 
 region, and righteousness remain in the 
 fruitful field. 
 
 17 *And the work of righteousness shall 
 be peace ; and the effect of righteousness,

 arm every morning, our salvation also in

 3 At the noise of the tumult the people 
 fled ; at the lifting up of thyself the nations

 6 The sword of Jehovah is filled with 
 blood, it is made fat with fatness, and with 
 the blood of lambs and goats, with the 
 fat of the kidneys of rams : for Mehovah

 and their land shall be 'drunk with blood, 
 and their dust made fat with fatness. 
 
 8 For it is the day of Jehovah's 'ven- 
 geance, and the year of recompenses for 
 the controversy of Zion. 
 
 9 m And the streams thereof shall be turn- 
 ed into pitch, and the dust thereof into 
 brimstone, and the land thereof shall be- 
 come burning pitch. 
 
 10 It shall not be quenched night nor 
 day; "the smoke thereof shall go up for 
 ever : "from generation to generation it 
 shall lie waste; none shall pass*through it 
 for ever and ever. 
 
 11 If ''But the '"pelican and the "porcu- 
 pine shall possess it ; the owl also and the 
 raven shall dwell in it : and 'he shall 
 stretch out upon it the line of 12 desolation, 
 and the stones of emptiness. 
 
 12 They shall call the nobles thereof to 
 the kingdom, but none shall be there, and 
 all her princes shall be nothing. 
 
 13 And thorns shall come up in her pa- 
 laces, nettles and brambles in the fortresses 
 thereof: and 'it shall be a habitation of 
 "jackals, and a court for "ostriches. 
 
 14 tThe wild beasts of the desert shall 
 also meet with tthe 15 wild cats, and the 
 I6 hairy-monster shall cry to his fellow ; the 
 17 night-monster also shall rest there, and 
 find for herself a place of rest. 
 
 15 There shall I8 the great owl make her 
 nest, and lay, and hatch, and gather under 
 her shadow: there shall the vultures also 
 be gathered, every one with her mate. 
 
 16 If Seek ye ,9 from 'the book of Jehovah, 
 and read: no one of these shall fail, none 
 shall want her mate : for my mouth, it 
 hath commanded, and his spirit, it hath 
 gathered them. 
 
 17 And he hath cast the lot for them, and 
 his hand hath divided it to them by line : 
 they shall possess it for ever, from gene- 
 ration to generation shall they dwell therein.

 1 The joyful flourishing of Christ's kingdom. 3 The 
 weak are encouraged by the virtues and privileges 
 of the gospel, 
 
 THE ° 'desert and the 2 parched land shall 
 be glad for them ; and the 3 waste shall 
 rejoice, and blossom 4 like the 5 rose. 
 
 2 'It shall blossom abundantly, and re- 
 joice, even with joy and singing: the glory 
 of Lebanon shall be given to it, the excel- 
 lency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall 
 see the glory of Jehovah, and the excel- 
 lency of our God.

 CHAPTER XXXVI. 
 
 1 Sennacherib invadeth Judah. 4 Rabshakeh, sent by 
 Sennacherib, by blasphemous persuasions soliciteth 
 the people to revolt. 22 His words are told to He- 
 zekiah. 
 
 NOW °it came to pass in the fourteenth 
 year of king Hezekiah, that Senna- 
 cherib king of Assyria came up against all 
 the 'fortified cities of Judah, and took them. 
 
 2 And the king of Assyria sent Rabsha- 
 keh from Lachish to Jerusalem to king 
 Hezekiah with a great army. And he stood 
 by the conduit of the upper pool in the 
 highway of the fuller's field. 
 
 3 Then came forth to him Eliakim, Hil- 
 kiah's son, who was over the house, and 
 Shebna the ||scribe, and Joah, Asaph's son, 
 the recorder. 
 
 4 If 'And Rabshakeh said to them, Say 
 ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great 
 king, the king of Assyria, What confidence 
 is this wherein thou trustest ? 
 
 5 I say, sayest thou (but they are but 
 tvain words) \\I have counsel and strength 
 for war: now on whom dost thou trust, 
 that thou rebellest against me ? 
 
 6 Lo, thou trustest in the c stafF of this 
 broken reed, in Egypt ; whereon if a man 
 lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce 
 it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who 
 trust in him. 
 
 7 But if thou say to me, We trust in Je- 
 hovah our God : is it not he, whose high 
 places and whose altars Hezekiah hath 
 taken away, and said to Judah and to Jeru- 
 salem, Ye shall worship before this altar ? 
 
 8 Now therefore give lipledges, I pray 
 thee, to my master the king of Assyria, 
 and I will give thee two thousand horses, 
 if thou be able on thy part to set riders 
 upon them. 
 
 9 How then wilt thou turn away the face 
 of one 2 governor of the least of my master's 
 servants, and put thy trust on Egypt for 
 chariots and for horsemen ? 
 
 10 And 3 have I now come up without Je- 
 hovah against this land to destroy it? Je- 
 
 481 
 
HabshakeJi's blasphemous speech. 
 
 hovah said to me, Go up against this land, 
 and destroy it. 
 
 11 f Then said Eliakim, and Shebna, 
 and Joah, to Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray 
 thee, to thy servants in the Syrian lan- 
 guage; for we understand it: and speak 
 not to us in the Jews' language, in the 
 ■•hearing of the people who are on the wall. 
 
 12 If But Rabshakeh said, Hath my mas- 
 ter sent me to thy master and to thee to 
 speak these words ? hath he not sent me to 
 the men who sit on the wall, that they may 
 eat their own 6 ordure, and drink their own 
 6 water with you ? 
 
 13 Then Rabshakeh stood, and cried with 
 a loud voice in the Jews' language, and 
 said, Hear ye the words of the great king, 
 the king of Assyria. 
 
 14 Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah 
 deceive you: for he 'will not be able to 
 deliver you. 
 
 15 Neither let Hezekiah make you trust 
 in Jehovah, saying, Jehovah will surely 
 deliver us : this city shall not be delivered 
 into the hand of the king of Assyria. 
 
 16 Hearken not to Hezekiah : for thus 
 saith the king of Assyria, || tMake an agree- 
 ment with me by a present, and come out 
 to me : d and eat ye 8 each one 9 from his vine, 
 and I0 each one "from his fig-tree, and drink 
 ye 12 each one the waters of his own cistern ; 
 
 17 Until I ' shall' come and take you 
 away to a land like your own land, a land 
 of corn and 'new' wine, a land of bread 
 and vineyards. 
 
 18 Bevjare lest Hezekiah persuade you, 
 saying, Jehovah will deliver us. Hath any 
 ' one' of the gods of the nations delivered 
 his land "from the hand of the king of 
 Assyria ? 
 
 19 Where are the gods of Hamath and 
 ArphadP where are the ^ods of Sephar- 
 vaim ? and have they delivered Samaria 
 "from my hand ? 
 
 20 Who are they among all the gods of 
 these lands, that have delivered their land 
 '^from my hand, that Jehovah should de- 
 liver Jerusalem 16 from my hand ? 
 
 21 But they held their peace, and answer- 
 ed him not a word : for the king's com- 
 mandment was, saying, Answer him not. 
 
 22 If Then came Eliakim the son of Hil- 
 kiah, who was over the household, and 
 Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of 
 Asaph, the recorder, to Hezekiah with 
 their clothes rent, and told him the words 
 of Rabshakeh. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXVII. 
 
 1 Hezekiah mourning sendeth to Isaiah to pray for 
 them. 6 Isaiah comforteth them. 8 Sennacherib, 
 going to encounter Tirhakah, sendeth a blasphe- 
 mous letter to Hezekiah. 14 Hezekiah's prayer. 
 21 Isaiah's prophecy of the pride and destruction 
 of Sennacherib, and the good of Zion. 36 An an- 
 gel slayeth the Assyrians. 37 Sennacherib is slain 
 at Nineveh by his own sons. 
 
 AND ^t came to pass, when king He- 
 zekiah heard it, that he rent his 
 clothes, and covered himself with sack- 
 cloth, and went into the house of Jehovah. 
 
 2 And he sent Eliakim, who ivas over the 
 household, and Shebna the scribe, and the 
 elders of the priests covered with sack- 
 cloth, to Isaiah the prophet, the son of 
 Amoz. 
 
 3 And they said to him, Thus saith He-

 4 3 Perhaps Jehovah thy God will hear 
 the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king 
 of Assyria his master hath sent to reproach 
 the living God, and will 'punish the words 
 which Jehovah thy God hath heard : where- 
 fore lift up t hy prayer for the remnant that 
 is tleft. 
 
 5 So the servants of king Hezekiah came 
 to Isaiah. 
 
 6 If And Isaiah said to them, Thus shall 
 ye say to your master, Thus saith Jeho- 
 vah, Be not afraid of the words that thou 
 hast heard, wherewith the servants of the 
 king of Assyria have 'reviled me. 
 
 7 Behold, I will ||send a blast upon him, 
 and he shall hear a rumour, and return to 
 his own land; and I will cause him to fall 
 by the sword in his own land. 
 
 8 If So Rabshakeh returned, and found 
 the king of Assyria warring against Libnah : 
 for he had heard that he was departed from 
 Lachish. 
 
 9 And he heard 6 it said concerning Tir- 
 hakah king of Ethiopia, He is come forth 
 to make "war with thee. And when he 
 heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, 
 saying, 
 
 10 Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king 
 of Judah, saying, Let not thy God in whom 
 thou trustest, deceive thee, saying, Jeru- 
 salem shall not be given into the hand of 
 the king of Assyria. 
 
 11 Behold, thou hast heard what the kings 
 of Assyria have done to all lands by de- 
 stroying them utterly; and shalt thou be 
 delivered ? 
 
 12 Have the gods of the nations delivered 
 those whom my fathers have destroyed, as 
 Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the 
 children of Eden which were in Telassar ? 
 
 13 Where is the king of 'Hamath, and 
 the king of Arphad, and the king of the 
 city of Sepharvaim, Henah, and Ivah ? 
 
 14 If And Hezekiah received the letter 
 from the hand of the messengers, and read 
 it : and Hezekiah went up to the house of 
 Jehovah, and spread it before Jehovah. 
 
 15 And Hezekiah prayed to Jehovah, 
 saying, 
 
 16 O Jehovah of hosts, God of Israel, 
 who dwell est betiveen the cherubim, thou 
 art the God, even thou alone, of all the 
 kingdoms of the earth; thou hast made 
 heaven and earth. 
 
 17 'Incline thine ear, Jehovah, and 
 hear; open thine eyes, O Jehovah, and 
 see : and hear all the words of Sennacherib, 
 who hath sent to reproach the living God. 
 
 18 'Truly, O Jehovah, the kings of As- 
 syria have laid waste all the tnations, and 
 their countries, 
 
 19 And have tcast their gods into the 
 fire ; for they were no gods, but the work 
 of men's hands, wood and stone: there- 
 fore they have destroyed them. 
 
 20 Now therefore, Jehovah our God, 
 save us from his hand, that all the king- 
 doms of the earth may know that thou art 
 Jehovah, even thou only. 
 
 21 If Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent 
 to Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith Jehovah 
 God of Israel, Whereas thou hast prayed 
 to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria : 
 
The destruction of Assyria. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXVIII. 
 
 Hezekiah'' s song of thanksgiving. 
 
 22 This is the word which Jehovah hath 
 spoken concerning him; The virgin, the 
 daughter of Zion, hath knocked thee, and 
 Mended thee ; the daughter of Jerusalem 
 hath shaken her head at thee. 
 
 23 Whom hast thou reproached and I0 re- 
 viled ; and against whom hast thou exalted 
 thy voice, and lifted up thine eyes on high ? 
 even against the Holy One of Israel. 
 
 24 tBy thy servants hast thou reproached 
 the "Lord, and hast said, By the multi- 
 tude of my chariots am I come up to the 
 height of the mountains, to the sides of 
 Lebanon ; and I will cut down tthe tall 
 cedars thereof, and the choice ' 2 cypress- 
 trees thereof: and I will enter into the 
 height of his border, and ||the forest of his 
 Carmel. 
 
 25 I have digged, and drank water ; and 
 with "my footsteps have I dried up all the 
 rivers of "Egypt. 
 
 26 ||Hast thou not heard long ago, how I 
 have done it ; and 15 from ancient times, 
 that I have formed it ? now have I brought 
 it to pass, that thou shouldest lay waste 
 "fortified cities in "heaps of ruins. 
 
 27 Therefore their inhabitants were tof 
 small power, they were dismayed and con- 
 founded : they were K like the grass of the 
 field, and l Hike the green herb, 20 like the 
 grass on the house-tops, and 2l like grain 
 blasted before it 22 is grown up. 
 
 _ 28 But I know thine [|abode, and thy go- 
 ing out, and thy coming in, and thy rage 
 against me. 
 
 29 Because thy rage against me, and thy 
 ^pride, is come up into mine ears, there- 
 fore d will I put my hook in thy nose, and 
 my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee 
 back by the way by which thou earnest. 
 
 30 And this shall be a sign to thee, Ye 
 shall eat this year such as groweth of 
 itself; and the second year that which 
 springeth 24 from the same : and in the third 
 year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, 
 and eat the fruit thereof. 
 
 31 And tthe remnant which hath escap- 
 ed of the house of Judah shall again take 
 root downward, and bear fruit upward : 
 
 32 For ^from Jerusalem shall go forth a 
 remnant, and tthose who escape ^from 
 mount Zion : the e zeal of Jehovah of hosts 
 shall do this. 
 
 33 Therefore thus saith Jehovah concern- 
 ing the king of Assyria, He shall not come 
 into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, 
 nor come before it with tshields, nor cast 
 a bank against it. 
 
 34 By the way '"by which he came, by 
 the same shall he return, and shall not 
 come into this city, saith Jehovah. 
 
 35 For I will ^defend this city to save it, 
 for mine own sake, and for my servant 
 David's sake. 
 
 36 Then the ^angel of Jehovah went 
 forth, and smote in the camp of the Assy- 
 rians a hundred and fourscore and five 
 thousand : and when they arose early in 
 the morning, behold, they were all dead 
 corpses. 
 
 37 If So Sennacherib king of Assyria de- 
 parted, and went and returned, and dwelt 
 at Nineveh. 
 
 38 And it came to pass, as he was wor- 
 shipping in the house of Nisroch his god,

 CHAPTER XXXVIII. 
 
 1 Hezekiah, having received a message of death, by 
 prayer hath his life lengthened. 8 The sun goeth 
 ten degrees backward, for a sign of that promise. 
 9 His song of thanksgiving. 
 
 IN "those days was Hezekiah sick 'even 
 to death. And Isaiah the prophet the 
 son of Amoz came to him, and said to him, 
 Thus saith Jehovah, *tSet thy house in 
 order : for thou shalt die, and not live. 
 
 2 Then Hezekiah turned his face towards 
 the wall, and prayed to Jehovah, 
 
 3 And said, 'Remember now, O Jehovah, 
 I beseech thee, how I have walked before 
 thee in truth and with a 2 sincere heart, and 
 have done that which is good in thy sight. 
 And Hezekiah wept 3 much. 
 
 4 jff Then came the word of Jehovah to 
 Isaiah, saying, 
 
 5 Go and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith Je- 
 hovah, the God of David thy father, I have 
 heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: 
 behold, I will add to thy days fifteen years. 
 
 6 And I will deliver thee and this city 
 4 from the hand of the king of Assyria: and 
 I will defend this city. 
 
 7 And this shall be 'a sign to thee from 
 Jehovah, that Jehovah will do this thing 
 that he hath spoken ; 
 
 8 Behold, I will bring again the shadow of 
 the degrees,which is gone down in the tsun- 
 dial of Ahaz ten degrees backward. So 
 the sun returned ten degrees, by which 
 degrees it 6 had gone down. 
 
 9 If The writing of Hezekiah king of Ju- 
 dah, when he had been sick, and was re- 
 covered of his sickness: 
 
 10 I said in the 6 quiet of my days, I shall 
 go to the gates of the 'grave : I am depriv- 
 ed of the residue of my years. 
 
 11 I said, I shall not see Jehovah, even 
 Jehovah, ^in the land of the living : I shall 
 behold man no more with the inhabitants 
 of the world. 
 
 12 <Mine age is departed, and is removed 
 from me 8 like a shepherd's tent : I have 
 cut off like a weaver my life : he will cut 
 me oft' 9 from the threads : from day even 
 to night wilt thou make an end of me. 
 
 13 I '"waited till morning; " as a lion, so 
 will he break all my bones : from day even 
 to night wilt thou make an end of me._ 
 
 14 Like a crane or a swallow, so did I 
 chatter : *I did mourn as a dove : mine 
 eyes fail with looking upward : O Jeho- 
 vah, I am l2 distressed ; ||undertake for me. 
 
 15 What shall I say ? he hath both spok- 
 en to me, and he hath done it: I shall go 
 softly all my years 'in the bitterness of my 
 soul. 
 
 16 O Jehovah, by these things men live, 
 and in all these things is the life of my 
 spirit: so wilt thou recover me, and make 
 me to live. 
 
 17 Behold, ||for peace I had great bitter- 
 ness : but tthou hast in love to my I3 life 
 delivered it from the pit of corruption : for 
 thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back. 
 
 18 For *the "grave cannot praise thee, 
 death cannot celebrate thee : those who go 
 down into the pit cannot hope for thy 
 truth. 
 
 19 The living, the living, he shall praise 
 
 483 
 
The Babylonish captivity foretold. 
 
 thee, as I do this day : 'the father to the 
 children shall make known thy truth. 
 
 20 Jehovah was ready to save me : there- 
 fore we will sing my songs to the stringed 
 instruments all the days of our life in the 
 house of Jehovah. 
 
 21 For "Isaiah had said, Let them take 
 a 15 cake of figs, and lay it 16 softened on the 
 boil, and he shall recover. 
 
 22 "Hezekiah also had said, What is the 
 sign that I shall go up to the house of Je- 
 hovah ? 
 
 CHAPTER XXXIX. 
 
 1 Merodach-baladan, sending to visit Hezekiah be- 
 cause of the wonder, hath notice of his treasures. 
 3 Isaiah, understanding thereof, foretelleth the 
 Babylonian captivity. 
 
 AT "that time Merodach-baladan, the 
 son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent 
 letters and a present to Hezekiah : for he 
 had heard that he had been sick, and 'had 
 recovered. 
 
 2 *And Hezekiah was glad 2 on their ac- 
 count, and shewed them the house of his 
 treasures, the silver, and the gold, and the 
 spices, and the precious ointment, and all 
 the house of his 4 jewels, and all that was 
 found in his treasures : there was nothing 
 in his house, nor in all his dominion, that 
 Hezekiah shewed them not. 
 
 3 Tf Then came Isaiah the prophet to king 
 Hezekiah and said to him, What said these 
 men ? and from whence came they to thee ? 
 and Hezekiah said, They 5 have come from 
 a far country to me, even from Babylon. 
 
 4 Then said he, What have they seen in 
 thy house ? And Hezekiah answered, All 
 that is in my house have they seen : there 
 is nothing among my treasures which I 
 have not shewed them. 
 
 5 Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah, Hear 
 the word of Jehovah of hosts : 
 
 6 Behold, the days come, ' 6 when all that 
 is in thy house, and that which thy fathers 
 have laid up in store until this day, shall 
 be carried to Babylon : nothing shall be 
 left, saith Jehovah. 
 
 7 And of thy sons who shall issue from 
 thee, whom thou shalt beget, shall they 
 take away; and llthey shall be eunuchs in 
 the palace of the king of Babylon. 
 
 8 Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah, d Good 
 is the word of Jehovah which thou hast 
 spoken. He said moreover, For there shall 
 be peace and truth in my days.

 1 The promulgation of the gospel. 3 The preaching 
 of John Baptist. 9 The preaching of the apostles. 
 12 The prophet by the omnipotency of God, 18 and 
 his incomparableness, 26 comforteth the people. 
 
 COMFORT ye, comfort ye my people,

 2 Speak ye tcomfortably to Jerusalem, 
 and cry to her, that her 'hard service is

 your God ! 
 
 10 Behold the Lord Jehovah will come 
 || with strong hand, and 'his arm shall rule 
 for him: behold, "his reward is with him, 
 and ||his Recompense before him. 
 
 11 He shall 'feed his flock like a shep-

 arm, and carry them in his bosom, and 
 shall gently lead those that '"give suck. 
 
 12 If m Who hath measured the waters in 
 the hollow of his hand, and "measured out

 ed the mountains in scales, and the hdls

 vah, or being tliis counsellor hath taught 
 him ?

 and shewed to him the way of tunder-

 them all by names, by the greatness of his 
 might, 29 because he is strong in power;

 27 Why savest thou, O Jacob, and speak - 
 est, O Israel, My way is hidden from Je-

 away from my God ?

 heard, that the everlasting God, Jehovah, 
 the Creator of the ends of the earth, faint- 
 eth not, neither is weary ? 'there is no 
 searching of his understanding. 
 
 29 He giveth power to the faint ; and to 
 those who have no might he increaseth 
 strength. 
 
 30 Even the youths shall faint and be 
 weary, and the young men shall utterly 
 fall : 
 
 31 But those who wait 3, for Jehovah 
 *shall trenew their strength; they shall 
 mount up with wings 32 like eagles; they 
 shall run, and not be weary ; M they shall

 CHAPTER XLI. 
 
 1 God expostulated with his people, about his mer- 
 cies to the church, 10 about his promises, 21 and 
 about the vanity of idols. 
 
 °T7~EEP silence before me, O 'distant re- 
 -"- gions ; and let the people renew their 
 strength: let them come near; then let 
 them speak : let us come near together to 
 judgment. 
 
 2 Who raised up tthe righteous man from 
 the east, called him to his foot, 'gave the 
 nations before him, and made him rule 
 oyer kings ? he gave them 2 like the dust to 
 his sword, and 3 like driven stubble to his 
 bow. 
 
 3 He pursued them, and passed tsafely ; 
 even by the way which he had not ''travel- 
 led with his feet. 
 
 4 d Who hath wrought and done it, calling 
 the generations from the beginning ? I Je- 
 hovah, the 'first, and 5 even the last; I 
 am he. 
 
 5 The 6 distant regions saw it, and feared ; 
 the ends of the earth were afraid, drew 
 near, and came. 
 
 6 'They helped 'each one his neighbour ; 
 and 8 each said to his brother, tBe of good 
 courage. 
 
 7 r So the carpenter encouraged the llgold- 
 smith, and he who smootheth with the ham- 
 mer ||him who smote the anvil, ||saying, It 
 is ready for the sodering ; and he fastened 
 it with nails, h that it should not be moved. 
 
 8 But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob 
 whom I have 'chosen, the seed of Abraham 
 my 'friend. 
 
 9 Thou whom I have taken from the ends 
 of the earth, and called thee from the Ex- 
 tremities thereof, and said to thee, Thou 
 art my servant ; I have chosen thee, and not 
 cast thee away. 
 
 10 \ 'Fear thou not; m for I am with thee:

 the Holy One of Israel hath created it. 
 
 21 tProduce your cause, saith Jehovah ; 
 bring forth your strong reasons, saith the 
 King of Jacob. 
 
 22 x Let them bring them forth, and shew 
 us what shall happen : let them shew the 
 former things, what they 19 are, that we may 
 tconsider them, and know the latter end 
 of them ; or declare ' to' us things ffl which 
 are to come. 
 
 23 *Shew the things which are to come 
 hereafter, that we may know that ye are 
 gods: yea, r do good, or do evil, that we 
 may be dismayed, and behold it together. 
 
 24 Behold, "ye are 21 less than nothing, 
 and your work ™is worse than nothing : an 
 abomination is he who chooseth you. 
 
 25 I have raised up one from the north, 
 and he shall come : from the rising of the 
 sun 'shall he call upon my name : 'and he 
 shall come upon princes as upon mortar, 
 and as the potter treadeth clay. 
 
 26 d Who hath declared from the begin- 
 ning, that we may know ? and ^formerly, 
 that we may say, He is righteous? yea, 
 there is none that sheweth, yea, there is 
 none that declareth, yea, there is none that 
 heareth your words. 
 
 27 'The First *shall say to Zion, Behold, 
 behold them : and I will give to Jerusalem 
 one who bringeth good tidings. 
 
 28 *For I beheld, and there was no man ; 
 even among them, and there was no coun- 
 sellor, who, when I asked of them, could 
 tanswer a word.

 CHAPTER XLII. 
 
 1 The office of Christ, graced with meekness and con- 
 stancy. 5 God's promise to him. 10 An exhorta- 
 tion to praise God for his gospel. 17 He reproveth 
 the people of incredulity. 
 
 BEHOLD °my servant, whom I uphold; 
 'my chosen, in whom my soul 'delight- 
 eth ; 'I have put my Spirit upon him : he 
 shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles. 
 
 2 He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause 
 his voice to be heard in the street. 
 
 3 A bruised reed shall he not break, 
 and the 2 faintly burning flax shall he not 
 tquench : he shall bring forth judgment to 
 truth. 
 
 4 He shall not fail nor be 3 weary, till he 
 'shall' have set judgment in the earth: 
 d and the isles shall wait for his 4 law. 
 
 5 If Thus saith God Jehovah, 'he who 
 created the heavens, and stretched them 
 out; -Hie who spread forth the earth, and 
 that which cometh out of it; 4ie who giv- 
 eth breath to the people on it, and spirit to 
 those who walk therein : 
 
 6 h I Jehovah have called thee in right- 
 eousness, and will hold thy hand, and will 
 keep thee, 'and give thee for a covenant of 
 Hie people, for *a light of the Gentiles ; 
 
 7 'To open the blind eyes, to "bring out 
 the prisoners from the prison, and those 
 who sit in "darkness 5 from the prison- 
 house. 
 
 8 I am Jehovah : that is my name : and 
 my "glory will I not give to another, nei- 
 ther my praise to graven images. 
 
 9 Behold, the former things 6 have come 
 to pass, and new things do I declare : be- 
 fore they spring forth I tell you of them. 
 
 10 p Sing to Jehovah a new song, and his 
 praise from the end of the earth, 'y e who 
 go down to the sea, and tall that is therein ; 
 the isles, and the inhabitants thereof. 
 
 11 Let the r desert and the cities thereof 
 lift up their voice, the villages which Kedar 
 doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock 
 sing, let them shout from the top of the 
 mountains. 
 
 12 Let them give glory to Jehovah, and 
 declare his praise in the islands. 
 
 13 Jehovah 8 will go forth 9 like a mighty 
 man, he shall 10 rouse jealousy like a man 
 of war: he "will cry, r yea, 12 shout; he 13 will 
 Jlprevail against his enemies. 
 
 14 I have 'for a' long time holden my 
 peace; I have been still, and refrained 
 myself: now will I cry like a travailing 
 woman; I will 14 pant and t 15 breathe in 
 anger at once. 
 
 15 I will make waste mountains and hills, 
 and dry up all their herbs ; and I will make 
 the rivers ia coasts, and I will dry up the 
 pools. 
 
 16 And I will bring the blind by a way 
 which they knew not ; I will lead them in 
 paths which they have not known : I will 
 make darkness light before them, and 
 crooked things t straight. These things 
 will I do to them, and not forsake them. 
 
 17 If They shall be "turned back, they 
 shall be greatly ashamed, who trust in 
 graven images, who say to the molten 
 images, Ye are our gods.

 God comforteth the church. 
 
 18 Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, 
 that ye may see. 
 
 19 'Who is blind, but my servant? or 
 deaf, "like my messenger whom I sent? 
 who is blind 18 like the Friend, and blind 
 19 like Jehovah's servant ? 
 
 20 Seeing many things, "but thou observ- 
 est not ; opening the ears, but he heareth 
 not. 
 
 21 Jehovah is well pleased for his right- 
 eousness' sake : he will magnify the law, 
 and make \\it honourable. 
 
 22 But this is a people robbed and spoil- 
 ed; \\they are all of them ensnared in holes, 
 and they are hidden in prison-houses; they 
 are for a prey, and 20 no one delivereth, for 
 ta spoil, and 21 no one saith, Restore. 
 
 23 Who among you will give ear to this ? 
 who will hearken, and hear tfor the time 
 to come? 
 
 24 Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel 
 to the robbers ? did not Jehovah, he against 
 whom we have sinned ? for they would not 
 walk in his ways, neither were they obedi- 
 ent to his law. 
 
 25 Therefore he hath poured upon him 
 the fury of his anger, and the strength of 
 battle : *and it hath set him on fire round 
 about, "yet he knew not; and it burned 
 him, yet he laid it not to heart. 
 
 CHAPTER XLIII. 
 
 1 The Lord comforteth the church with his promises. 
 8 He appealeth to the people for witness of his omni- 
 potency. 14 He foretelleth them the destruction of 
 Babylon, 18 and his wonderful deliverance of his 
 people. 22 He reproveth the people as inexcusable. 
 
 BUT now thus saith Jehovah "who cre- 
 ated thee, O Jacob, 'and he who formed 
 thee, O Israel, Fear not : 'for I have re- 
 deemed thee, d I have called thee by thy 
 name ; thou art mine. 
 
 2 'When thou passest through the waters, 
 'I will be with thee ; and through the rivers, 
 they shall not overflow thee : when thou 
 g walkest through the fire, thou shalt not 
 be burned ; neither shall the flame kindle 
 upon thee. 
 
 3 For I am Jehovah thy God, the Holy 
 One of Israel, thy Saviour : *I gave Egypt 
 for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee. 
 
 4 'Because thou wast precious in my sight, 
 thou hast been honourable, and I have loved 
 thee : therefore will I give men for thee, 
 and people for thy ||life. 
 
 5 'Fear not; for I am with thee: I will 
 bring thy seed from the east, and gather 
 thee from the west : 
 
 6 I will say to the north, Give up ; and 
 to the south, Keep not back : bring my sons 
 from far, and my daughters from the ends 
 of the earth ; 
 
 7 Even every one who is 'called by my 
 name: for 'I have created him for my 
 glory, m I have formed him ; yea, I have 
 made him. 
 
 8 \ "Bring forth the blind people that 
 have eyes, and the deaf that have ears. 
 
 9 Let all the nations be gathered together, 
 and let the people be assembled: "who 
 among them can declare this, and shew us 
 former things ? let them brings forth their 
 witnesses, that they may be justified ; or 
 let them hear, and say, It is truth. 
 
 10 p Ye are my witnesses, saith Jehovah, 
 'and my servant whom I have chosen : that 
 ye may know and believe me, and under- 
 
God reproveth his people. 
 
 stand that I am he: 'before me there was 
 ||no God formed, neither shall there be 
 after me. 
 
 11 I, even I, 'am Jehovah; and besides 
 me there is no saviour. 
 
 12 I have declared, and have saved, and 
 I have shewed, when there was no 'strange 
 god among you : "therefore ye are my wit- 
 nesses, saith Jehovah, that I am God. 
 
 13 *Yea, before the day toas, I am he; 
 and there is 2 no one who can deliver 'from 
 my hand: I will work, and who shall 
 t^hinder it ? _ 
 
 14 If Thus saith Jehovah, your Redeemer, 
 the Holy One of Israel ; For your sake I 
 have sent to Babylon, and have brought 
 down all their tnobles, and the Chaldeans, 
 whose cry is in the ships. 
 
 15 I am Jehovah, your Holy One, the 
 Creator of Israel, your King. 
 
 16 Thus saith Jehovah, who *maketh a 
 way in the sea, and a "path in the mighty 
 waters ; 
 
 17 Who 4 bringeth forth the chariot and 
 horse, the army and the power; they shall 
 lie down together, they shall not rise : they 
 are 'extinguished, they are quenched 6 like 
 tow. 
 
 18 ^ 'Remember ye not the former things, 
 neither consider the things of old. 
 
 19 Behold, I will do a ''new thing; now 
 it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? 
 'I will even make a way in the 'desert, and 
 rivers in the 9 waste. 
 
 20 The beast of the field shall honour me, 
 the 9 jackals and the "ostriches : because {I 
 give waters in the "desert, and rivers in 
 the "waste, to give drink to my people, my 
 chosen. 
 
 21 e This people have I formed for myself; 
 they shall show forth my praise. 
 
 22 ^f 13 Yet thou hast not called upon me, 
 O Jacob ; but thou *hast been weary of me, 
 
 Israel. 
 
 23 ' Thou hast not brought me the "lambs 
 of thy burnt-offerings ; neither hast thou 
 honoured me with thy sacrifices. I have 
 not ''burdened thee with an offering, nor 
 wearied thee with incense. 
 
 24 Thou hast bought me no sweet cane 
 with money, neither hast thou tfilled me 
 with the fat of thy sacrifices : but thou hast 
 16 burdened me with thy sins, thou hast 
 *wearied me with thine iniquities. 
 
 25 I, even I, am he that 'blotteth out thy 
 transgressions "for mine own sake, "ana 
 will not remember thy sins. 
 
 26 Put me in remembrance : let us plead 
 together: declare thou, that thou mayest 
 be justified. 
 
 27 -Thy first father hath sinned, and thy 
 tteachers have transgressed against me. 
 
 28 Therefore °I have profaned the Uprinces 
 of the sanctuary, p and have given Jacob to 
 the curse, and Israel to reproaches. 
 
 CHAPTER XLIV. 
 
 1 God comforteth the church with his promises. 7 The 
 vanity of idols, 9 and folly of idol makers. 21 He 
 exhorteth to praise God for his redemption and 
 omnipotency.

 am the first, and I am the last ; and besides 
 me there is no God. 
 
 7 And e who, 3 like me, will call, and 4 will

 them shew to them.

 things shall not profit ; and they are their 
 own witnesses ; m they see not, nor know, 
 that they may be ashamed. 
 
 10 Who hath formed a god, or 'cast a 
 graven image Hhat is profitable for no- 
 thing ? 
 
 11 Behold, all his fellows shall be "asham- 
 ed : and the workmen, they are 8 but men : 
 let them all be gathered together, let them 
 stand up; yet they shall fear, and they 
 shall be ashamed together. 
 
 12 ''The smith prepareth an axe in the 
 coals, and fashioneth it with hammers, 
 and worketh it with the strength of his 
 arms : yea, he is hungry, and his strength 
 faileth: he drinketh no water, and is 
 faint. 
 
 13 The carpenter stretcheth out his ,0 line ; 
 he marketh it out with "red -chalk ; he fit- 
 teth it with planes, and he marketh it out 
 with the compass, and maketh it "accord- 
 ing to the figure of a man, according to 
 the beauty of a man ; that it may remain 
 in the house. 
 
 14 He heweth him down cedars, and tak- 
 eth the 13 ilex and the oak, whichhe ||strength- 
 eneth for himself among the trees of the 
 forest : he planteth an ash, and the rain 
 doth nourish it. 
 
 15 Then "will it be for a man to burn : 
 for he will take 15 some of it, and warm 
 himself; yea, he kindleth it, and baketh 
 bread ; yea, he maketh a god, and worship- 
 ped it ; he maketh it a graven image, and 
 talleth down to it. 
 
 16 He burneth 16 half of it in the fire ; 
 with 17 half of it he eateth flesh ; he roasteth 
 18 meat, and is satisfied : yea, he warmeth 
 himseif, and saith, Aha, I am warm, I have 
 seen the fire : 
 
 17 And the residue 19 of it he maketh a god,

 ing to say, I have burned 22 half of it in the 
 fire ; yea, also I have baked bread upon 
 the coals w of it; I have roasted flesh, and

 Jehovah that maketh all things; c that 
 stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that 
 spreadeth abroad the earth by myself: 
 
 25 That d frustrateth the tokens 'of the 
 liars, and maketh diviners mad ; that turn- 
 eth wise men backwards, 'and maketh their 
 knowledge foolish ; 
 
 26 «That confirmeth the word of his ser- 
 vant, and performeth the counsel of his 
 messengers ; that saith to Jerusalem, Thou 
 shalt be inhabited ; and to the cities of 
 Judah, Ye shall be built, and I will raise 
 up the tdecayed places thereof: 
 
 27 "That saith to the deep, Be dry, and 
 I will dry up thy rivers : 
 
 28 That saith 29 concerning '"Cyrus, lie is

 pleasure: even saying to Jerusalem, 'Thou 
 shalt be built; and to the temple, Thy 
 foundation shall be laid. 
 
 CHAPTER XLV. 
 
 1 God calleth Cyrus for his church's sake. 5 By his 
 omnipotency he challengeth obedience. 20 He con- 
 vinced the idols of vanity by his saving power. 
 
 THUS saith Jehovah to his anointed, to 
 Cyrus, whose "right hand I [|have 
 holden, 'to subdue nations before him ; 
 and I will loose the loins of kings, to open 
 before him the two-leaved gates, and the 
 gates shall not be shut ; 
 
 2 I will go before thee, c and make the 
 crooked places straight : d I will break in 
 pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sun- 
 der the bars of iron. 
 
 3 And I will give thee the treasures of 
 darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, 
 'that thou mayest know that I, Jehovah, 
 who 'call thee by thy name, am the God of 
 Israel. 
 
 4 For <tfacob my servant's sake, and Is- 
 rael 'my chosen, I have even called thee 
 by thy name : I have surnamed thee, though 
 thou hast "not known me. 
 
 5 If I 'am Jehovah, and Hhere is 2 no one 
 else, there is no God besides me : ! I girded 
 thee, though thou hast not known me :

 God asserteth his own omnipotency. 
 
 6 m That they may know from the rising 
 of the sun, and from the west, that there is 
 3 no one besides me. I am Jehovah, and 
 there is 4 no one else. 
 
 7 I form the light, and create darkness : 
 I make peace, and "create 'calamity ^Je- 
 hovah do all these things. 
 
 8 "Drop down, ye heavens, from above, 
 and let the skies pour down righteousness: 
 let the earth open, and let them bring forth 
 salvation, and let righteousness spring up 
 together ; I Jehovah have created it. 
 
 9 Wo to him who striveth with 'his Maker ! 
 Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds 
 of the earth. 'Shall the clay say to him 
 who fashioneth it. What makest thou ? or 
 thy work, He hath no hands ? 
 
 10 Wo to him who saith to his father, 
 What begettest thou ? or to the woman, 
 What hast thou brought forth ? 
 
 11 Thus saith Jehovah, the Holy One of 
 Israel, and his Maker, Ask me Respecting 
 things to come concerning r my sons, and 
 concerning "the work of my hands 7 give 
 me charge. 
 
 12 'I have made the earth, and "created 
 man on it: I, even my hands, have stretch- 
 ed out the heavens, and *all their host have 
 I commanded. 
 
 13 "I have raised him up in righteousness, 
 and I will || hnake plain all his ways : he shall 
 *build my city, and he shall let go my cap- 
 tives, "not for price nor reward, saith Je- 
 hovah of hosts. 
 
 14 Thus saith the Lord, 'The labour of 
 Egypt, and merchandise of Ethiopia and 
 of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come 
 over to thee, and they shall be thine: they 
 shall come after thee ; c in chains they shall 
 come over, and they shall fall down to 
 thee, they shall make supplication to thee, 
 saying, rf Surely God is in thee ; and 'there 
 is none else, there is no God. 
 
 15 "Truly thou art a God 'that hidest 
 thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour. 
 
 16 They shall be ashamed, and also con- 
 founded, all of them: they shall goto con- 
 fusion together who are Quakers of idols. 
 
 17 h But Israel shall be saved I0 by Jeho- 
 vah with an everlasting salvation : ye shall 
 "never be ashamed nor confounded 12 . 
 
 18 For thus saith Jehovah 'who created 
 the heavens ; God himself who formed the 
 earth and made it ; he hath established it, 
 he created it not in vain, he formed it to 
 be inhabited : *I am Jehovah ; and there 
 is none else. 
 
 19 I have not spoken in 'secret, in a dark 
 place of the earth : I said not to the seed 
 of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: m \ Jehovah 
 speak righteousness, I declare things which 
 are right. 
 
 20 If Assemble yourselves and come; 
 draw near together, ye l3 who have escaped 
 "from the nations : "they have no know- 
 ledge who set up the wood of their graven 
 image, and pray to a god who cannot 
 save. 
 
 21 Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, 
 let them take counsel together : "who hath 
 declared this from ancient time ? who hath 
 told it from that time ? have not. I Jeho- 
 vah? 'and there is no God else besides me; 
 a just God and a Saviour; there is ,6 no one 
 besides me.

 ends of the earth: for I am God, and there 
 is 16 no one else. 
 
 23 r I have sworn by myself, the word 
 "hath gone 18 froin my mouth in righteous- 
 ness, and shall not return, That to me 
 every 'knee shall bow, 'every tongue shall 
 swear. 
 
 24 ||Surely, shall one say, In Jehovah 
 have I "trighteousness and strength : even 
 to him shall men come ; and *all who are 
 incensed against him shall be ashamed. 
 
 25 *In Jehovah shall all the seed of Is- 
 rael be justified, and *shall glory. 
 
 CHAPTER XLVI. 
 
 1 The idols of Babylon could not save themselves. 
 3 God saveth his people to the end. 5 Idols are 
 not comparable to God for power, 12 or present 
 salvation. 
 
 BEL "boweth down, Nebo stoopeth, their 
 idols were upon the beasts, and upon 
 the cattle: 'those whom ye carried were 
 loaded up; h they are a burden to the weary 
 beast. 
 
 2 They stoop, they bow down together; 
 they could not deliver the burden, 'but 
 t'they' themselves 2 have gone into cap- 
 tivity. 
 
 3 If Hearken to me, house of Jacob, and 
 all the remnant of the house of Israel, 
 d who are borne by me from the 3 birth, who 
 are carried from the womb : 
 
 4 And even to your old age 'I am he; and 
 even to hoary hairs {will I carry you : I 
 have made, and I will bear ; even I will 
 carry, and will deliver you. 
 
 5 f To whom will ye liken me, and make 
 me equal, and compare me, that we may 
 be alike ? 
 
 6 They lavish gold from the bag, and 
 weigh silver in the balance, and hire a 
 goldsmith ; and he maketh it a god : they 
 fall down, yea, they worship. 
 
 7 They bear him on the shoulder, they 
 carry him, and set him in his place, and 
 he standeth; from his place snail he not 
 remove: yea, k one 5 may cry to him, yet 
 can he not answer, nor save him "from his 
 trouble. 
 
 8 Remember this, and shew yourselves 
 men : 'bring it again to mind, O ye trans- 
 gressors. 
 
 9 "Remember the former things of old: 
 for I am God, and "there is 'no one else ; 
 J am God, and there is 8 no one like me, 
 
 10 "Declaring the end from the beginning, 
 and from ancient times the things which 
 are not yet done, saying, ^My counsel shall 
 stand, and I will do all my pleasure: 
 
 11 Calling a ravenous bird 'from the east, 
 tthe man 'who executeth my counsel from 
 a far country : yea, 'I have spoken it, I will 
 also bring it to pass ; I have purposed it, I 
 will also do it. 
 
 12 1f Hearken to me, ye "stubborn -heart- 
 ed, "who are far from righteousness : 
 
 13 X I bring near my righteousness ; it shall 
 not be far off, and my salvation ^shall not 
 tarry : and I will place 'salvation in Zion 
 for Israel my glory.

 4 leg, pass over the rivers. 
 
 3 Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, 
 yea, thy shame shall be seen : e I will take 
 vengeance, and I will not 5 make peace 
 with thee Hike a man. 
 
 4 As for Amr Redeemer, Jehovah of hosts 
 is his name, the Holy One of Israel. 
 
 5 Sit thou ''silent, and 7 go into darkness, 
 
 daughter of the Chaldeans: "for thou 
 shalt no more be called, The "mistress of 
 kingdoms. 
 
 6 if *I was 9 angry with my people, *I have 
 polluted mine inheritance, and given them 
 into thy hand : thou didst shew them no 
 mercy; 'upon the 10 aged hast thou very 
 heavily laid thy yoke. 
 
 7 IT And thou saidst, I shall be m a "mis- 
 tress for ever : so that thou didst not "lay 
 these things to thy heart, "neither dids't 
 remember the latter end of it. 
 
 8 Therefore hear now this, thou who art 
 given to pleasures, who dwellest careless- 
 ly, who sayest in thy heart, p I am, and 
 none else besides me ; q I shall not sit as a 
 widow, neither shall I know the loss of 
 children : 
 
 9 But these two things shall come to 
 thee 'm a moment in one day, the loss of 
 children, and widowhood : they shall come 
 upon thee in their perfection, 'for the mul- 
 titude of thy sorceries, and for the great 
 abundance of thine enchantments. 
 
 10 % For thou "hast trusted in thy wicked- 
 ness : thou hast said, l2 No one seeth me. 
 Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath 
 llperverted thee; "and thou hast said in thy 
 heart, I am, and none else besides me. 
 
 11 If Therefore shall evil come upon thee; 
 thou shalt not know tfrom whence it riseth : 
 and mischief shall fall upon thee ; thou 
 shalt not be able to tput it off: and 'deso- 
 lation shall come upon thee suddenly, 
 which thou shalt not I3 expect. 
 
 12 Stand now with thine enchantments, 
 and with the multitude of thy sorceries, 
 wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth ; 
 if so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so 
 be thou mayest prevail. 
 
 13 Thou art wearied in the multitude of 
 thy counsels. Let now the tastrologers, 
 the star-gazers, tthe monthly prognostica- 
 tors, stand up, and save thee from these 
 things which shall come upon thee. 
 
 14 Behold, they shall be cl *like stubble; 
 the fire shall burn them ; they shall not 
 deliver themselves from the power of the 
 flame : there shall not be a coal to warm at, 
 nor fire to sit before it. 
 
 15 Thus shall they be to thee with whom 
 thou hast laboured, even thy merchants, 
 from thy youth : they shall wander every 
 one to his quarter; ,5 no one shall save thee.

 1 God, to convince the people of their foreknown ob- 
 stinacy, revealed his prophecies. 9 He saveth them 
 for his own sake. 12 He exhorteth them to obe- 
 dience, because of his power and providence. 16 He 
 lamenteth their backivardness. 20 He powerfully 
 deliverelh his out of Babylon. 
 
 TTEAR ye this, O house of Jacob, who

The intent of prophecy. 
 
 dah, 'who swear by the name of Jehovah, 
 and make mention of the God of Israel, 
 c but not in truth, nor in righteousness. 
 
 2 For they call themselves ''of the holy 
 city, and ' 3 Iean themselves on the God of 
 Israel ; Jehovah of hosts is his name. 
 
 3 'I have declared the former things from 
 the beginning ; and they went forth 4 from 
 my mouth, and I shewed them; I did them 
 suddenly, *and they came to pass. 
 
 4 Because I knew that thou art tobstinate, 
 and "thy neck is an iron 6 bar, and thy brow 
 brass ; 
 
 5 'I have even from the beginning declar- 
 ed it to thee; before it came to pass I 
 shewed it ' to' thee : lest thou shouldest 
 say, Mine idol hath done them; and my 
 graven image, and my molten image, hath 
 commanded them. 
 
 6 Thou hast heard, see all this ; and will 
 ye not declare it ? I have shewed thee new 
 things from this time, even hidden things, 
 and thou didst not know them. 
 
 7 They are created now, and not from 
 the beginning; even before 6 this day, 7 thou 
 heardest them not; lest thou shouldest say, 
 Behold, I knew them. 
 
 8 Yea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knew- 
 est not; yea, from that time 8 thine ear was 
 not opened : for I knew that thou wouldest 
 deal very treacherously, and wast called 
 *a transgressor from the 9 birth. 
 
 9 % Tor my name's sake m will I defer 
 mine anger, and for my praise will I re- 
 frain for thee, that I cut thee not off. 
 
 10 Behold, "I have refined thee, but not 
 llwith silver; I have '"proved thee in the 
 furnace of affliction. 
 
 11 p For mine own sake, even for mine 
 own sake, will I do it : for 'how should my 
 name be polluted ? and 'I will not give my 
 glory to another. 
 
 12 If Hearken to me, Jacob and Israel, 
 my called ; s l am he ; lam the 'first, I also 
 am the last. 
 
 13 "My hand also hath laid the foundation 
 of the earth, and ||my right hand hath span- 
 ned the heavens : when X I "called to them, 
 they 12 stood up together. 
 
 14 "All ye, assemble yourselves and hear; 
 who among them hath declared these 
 things? 'Jehovah hath loved him: "he 
 will do his pleasure on Babylon, and his 
 arm shall be on the Chaldeans. 
 
 15 I, even I, have spoken, yea, 1 have 
 called him : I have brought him, and he 
 shall make his way prosperous. 
 
 16 If Come ye near to me, hear ye this ; 
 C I have not spoken in secret from the be- 
 ginning ; from the time that it was, there 
 am I : and now d the Lord Jehovah, and 
 his Spirit, hath sent me. 
 
 17 Thus saith 'Jehovah, thy Redeemer, 
 the Holy One of Israel ; I am Jehovah 
 thy God who teacheth thee to profit, %ho 
 leadeth thee by the way that thou should- 
 est go. 
 
 18 *0 that thou hadst hearkened to my 
 commandments ! *then had thy peace been 
 ,3 like a river, and thy righteousness '"like 
 the waves of the sea : 
 
 19 'Thy seed also had been as the sand, 
 and the offspring of thy 15 body like the 
 gravel thereof; his name should not have 
 been cut off nor destroyed from before me.

 hath 'redeemed his servant Jacob. 
 
 21 And they "thirsted not when he led 
 them through the deserts : he "caused the 
 waters to flow out of the rock for them : 
 he "split the rock also, and the waters 
 gushed out. 
 
 22 "There is no peace, saith Jehovah, to 
 the wicked. 
 
 CHAPTER XLIX. 
 
 1 Christ, being sent to the Jews, complaineth of them. 
 5 He is sent to the Gentiles with gracious pro- 
 mises. 13 God's love is perpetual to his church. 
 18 The ample restoration of the church. 24 The 
 powerful deliverance out of captivity. 
 
 T ISTEN, °0 'distant lands, to me; and 
 -*-* hearken, ye people, from far; "Jeho- 
 vah hath called me from the womb ; from 
 the 2 body of my mother hath he made 
 mention of my name. 
 
 2 And he hath made c my mouth like a 
 sharp sword ; d in the shadow of his hand 
 hath he hidden me, and made me c a polish- 
 ed shaft ; in his quiver hath he hidden me ; 
 
 3 And said to me, s Thou art my servant, 
 
 Israel, s 'm whom I will be glorified. 
 
 4 Then I said, I have laboured in vain, 
 
 1 have spent my strength for nought, and 
 in vain ; yet surely my 3 cause is with Je- 
 hovah, and ||my 4 reward with my God. 
 
 5 If And now, saith Jehovah 'who form- 
 ed me from the womb to be his servant, to 
 bring Jacob again to him, ||Though Israel 
 *be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in 
 the 5 sight of Jehovah, and my God 6 will 
 be my strength. 
 
 6 And he said, ||It is a 7 small thing that 
 thou shouldest be my servant to raise up 
 the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the pre- 
 served of Israel : I will also give thee for 
 a 'light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest 
 be my salvation to the end of the earth. 
 
 7 Thus saith Jehovah, the Redeemer of 
 Israel, 8 his Holy One, m ||to him whom man 
 despiseth, to him whom the nation abhor- 
 reth, to a servant of rulers, "Kings shall 
 see and arise, princes also shall worship, 
 because of Jehovah who is faithful, and 
 the Holy One of Israel, 9 even he who hath 
 chosen thee. 
 
 8 Thus saith Jehovah, "In an acceptable 
 time have I heard thee, and in a day of 
 salvation have I helped thee : and I will 
 preserve thee, 'and give thee for a cove- 
 nant of the people, to ||establish the earth, 
 to cause to inherit the desolate heritages : 
 
 9 That thou mayest say 'to the prisoners, 
 Go forth ; to those who are in darkness, 
 Shew yourselves. They shall feed in the 
 ways, and their pastures shall be in all 
 high places. 
 
 i0 They shall not iiunger nor thirst, *nei- 
 ther shall the heat nor sun smite them: for 
 he who hath mercy on them 'shall lead 
 them, even by the springs of water shall he 
 guide them. 
 
 11 "And I will make all my mountains 
 a way, and my highways shall be '"pre- 
 pared. 
 
 12 Behold, *these shall come from far; 
 and lo, these from the north and from the 
 west; and these from the land of Sinim. 
 
 13 If "Sing, O heavens ; and be joyful, O 
 earth ; and break forth into singing, O 
 
God's constant love to his church.

 his people, and will have mercy on his 
 afflicted. 
 
 14 r But Zion said, Jehovah hath forsaken 
 me, and my Lord hath forgotten me. 
 
 15 "Can a woman forget her sucking 
 child, tthat she should not have compas- 
 sion on the son of her womb ? yea, they 
 may forget, 'yet will I not forget thee, 
 
 16 Behold, C I have engraven thee on the 
 palms of my hands ; thy walls are conti- 
 nually before me. 
 
 17 Thy children shall make haste; "thy 
 destroyers and those who made thee waste 
 shall go forth "from thee. 
 
 18 U 'Lift up thine eyes ^around, and be- 
 hold : all these gather themselves together, 
 and come to thee. Jls I live, saith Jeho- 
 vah, thou shalt surely clothe thyself with 
 them all, 'as with an ornament, and bind 
 them on thee, as a bride doeth. 
 
 19 For thy waste and thy desolate places, 
 and 13 thy ruined land, s shall even now be 
 too narrow by reason of the inhabitants, 
 and those who swallowed thee up shall be 
 far away. 
 
 20 *The children which thou shalt have, 
 *after thou hast lost the others, shall say 
 again in 14 thy hearing, The place is too 
 ,5 narrow for me : give place to me that I 
 may dwell. 
 
 21 Then shalt thou say in thy heart, Who 
 hath begotten me these, seeing I have lost 
 my children, and am ''unfruitful, a captive, 
 and "an outcast ? and who hath brougnt up 
 these ? Behold I was left alone ; these, 
 where had they been? 
 
 22 /Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Behold, 
 I will lift up my hand to the Gentiles, and 
 set up my standard to the people : and they 
 shall bring thy sons in their farms, and thy 
 daughters shall be carried on their shoul- 
 ders. 
 
 23 'And kings shall be thy tnursing fa- 
 thers, and their tqueens thy nursing mo- 
 thers : they shall bow down to thee with 
 their face towards the earth, and m lick up 
 the dust of thy feet ; and thou shalt know 
 that I am Jehovah : for "they shall not be 
 ashamed who wait for me. 
 
 24 If "Shall the prey be taken from the 
 mighty, or tthe lawful captive delivered ? 
 
 25 But thus saith Jehovah, Even the tcap- 
 tives of the mighty shall be taken away, 
 and the prey of the terrible shall be de- 
 livered : for I will contend with him who 
 contendeth with thee, and I will save thy 
 children. 
 
 26 And I will p feed those who oppress 
 thee with their own flesh ; and they shall 
 be drunken with their own 'blood, as with 
 I8 new wine : and all flesh 'shall know that 
 I Jehovah am thy Saviour and thy Re- 
 deemer, the Mighty One of Jacob. 
 
 CHAPTER L. 
 
 1 Christ shewetk that the dereliction of the Jeios is 
 not to be imputed to him, by his ability to save, 
 5 by his obedience in that work, 7 and by his con- 
 fidence in that assistance. 10 An exhortation to

 Jin exhortation to tntst m God. 
 
 and for your transgressions is your mother 
 put away. 
 
 2 Wherefore, when I came, was there no 
 man ? d when I called, was there 'no one to 
 answer ? 'Is my hand shortened at all, that 
 it cannot redeem ? or have I no power to 
 deliver ? behold, 'at my rebuke 1 r dry up 
 the sea, I make the "rivers a 2 desert: 'their ( 
 fish 3 putrefy, because there is no water, and 
 ■•die tor thirst. 
 
 3 *I clothe the heavens with blackness, 
 'and I make sackcloth their covering. 
 
 4 m The Lord Jehovah hath given me the 
 tongue of the learned, that I %ight know 
 how to speak a word in season to him who 
 is "weary : he wakeneth morning by morn- 
 ing, he wakeneth mine ear to hear 6 like the 
 learned. 
 
 5 If The Lord Jehovah "hath opened mine 
 ear, and I was not 'rebellious, neither 
 turned away back. 
 
 6 5 I gave my back to the smiters, and r my 
 cheeks to those who plucked off" the hair : 
 I hid not my face from shame and spitting. 
 
 7 1f For the Lord Jehovah will help me : 
 therefore I shall not be confounded: there- 
 fore have 'I set my face like a flint, and I 
 know that I shall not be ashamed. 
 
 8 'He is near who justifieth me : who will 
 contend with me ? let us stand together : 
 who is tmine adversary? let him come 
 near to me. 
 
 9 Behold, the Lord Jehovah will help 
 me; who is he that 7 will condemn me? 
 u lo, they all shall 8 become old 9 like a gar- 
 ment ; x the moth shall eat them up. v. 
 
 10 ^ Who is ' there'' among you that fear- 
 eth Jehovah, that obeyeth the voice of his 
 servant, that ^walketh in darkness, and 
 hath no light ? *let him trust in the name 
 of Jehovah, and I0 lean on his God. 
 
 11 Behold, all ye who kindle a fire, that 
 encompass yourselves " with sparks : walk 
 in the light of your fire, and in the sparks 
 which ye have kindled. "This shall ye 
 have ^from my hand ; ye shall lie down 
 *in sorrow. 
 
 CHAPTER LI. 
 
 1 An exhortation, after the pattern of Abraham, to 
 trust in Christfjj&by reason of his comfortable pro- 
 mises, 4 of his" righteous salvation, 7 and man's 
 mortality. 9 Christ by his sanctified arm defend- 
 eth his from the fear of man. 17 He beivaileth the 
 afflictions of Jerusalem, 21 and promiseth deliver- 
 ance. 
 "TJEARKEN to me, b ye who follow af- 
 -LJ- ter righteousness, ye who seek Jeho- 
 vah: look to the rock whence ye are hewn, 
 and to the hole of the pit whence ye are 
 digged. 
 
 2 'Look to Abraham your father, and to 
 Sarah who bore you : d for I called him 'a 
 single man, and 'blessed him, and increas- 
 ed him. 
 
 3 2 Thus Jehovah /3 will comfort Zion : he 
 will comfort all her waste places ; and he 
 will make her wilderness like Eden, and 
 her desert g like the garden of Jehovah ; 
 joy and gladness shall be found therein, 
 thanksgiving, and the voice of melody. 
 
 4 If Hearken to me, my people ; and give 
 ear to me, O my nation : "for a law shall 
 proceed from me, and I will Establish my 
 judgment 'for a light of the people. 
 
 5 *My righteousness is near ; my salva- 
 tion is gone forth, 'and mine arms shall 
 judge the people; m the "distant lands shall 
 
 491 
 
Ood will comfort his church. 
 
 wait 8 for me, and "on mine arm shall they 
 trust. 
 
 6 "Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and 
 look on the earth beneath : for 'the heavens 
 shall vanish away like smoke, 'and the 
 earth shall 'become old like a garment, 
 and those who dwell therein shall die in 
 like manner : but my salvation shall be for 
 ever, and my righteousness shall not be 
 abolished. 
 
 7 If 'Hearken to me, ye who know right- 
 eousness, the people 'in whose heart is my 
 law; 'fear ye not the reproach of men, 
 neither be ye afraid of their revilings. 
 
 8 For "the moth shall eat them up like a 
 garment, and the worm shall eat them like 
 wool: but my righteousness shall be for 
 ever, and my salvation from generation to 
 generation. 
 
 9 If *Awake, awake, "put on strength, 
 arm of Jehovah; awake, *as in the ancient 
 days, in the generations of old. a Jirt thou 
 not it that fsmote 'Egypt, and wounded 
 the " 9 crocodile ? 
 
 10 Art thou not it which hath d dried the 
 sea, the waters of the great deep ; that 
 hath made the depths of the sea a way for 
 the ransomed to pass over ? 
 
 11 10 Thus 'the redeemed of Jehovah shall 
 return, and come with singing to Zion; 
 and everlasting joy shall be on their head : 
 they shall obtain gladness and joy; and 
 sorrow and mourning shall flee away. 
 
 12 I, even I, am he Avho comforteth you : 
 who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid 
 *of a man that shall die, and of the son of 
 man who shall be made hU like grass ; 
 
 13 And forgettest Jehovah thy Maker, 
 "who hath stretched forth the heavens, and 
 laid the foundations of the earth ; and hast 
 feared continually every day because of 
 the fury of the oppressor, as if he ||were 
 ready to destroy ? 'and where is the fury 
 of the oppressor ? 
 
 14 The ' bound' captive I2 shall soon be 
 loosed, 'and 13 he shall not die in the pit, 
 nor "shall his bread fail. 
 
 15 ,6 For I am Jehovah thy God, that ""di- 
 vided the sea, whose waves roared : Jeho- 
 vah of hosts is his name. 
 
 16 And "I have put my words in thy 
 mouth, and "have covered thee in the sha- 
 dow of my hand, * 16 to establish the heavens, 
 and lay the foundations of the earth, and 
 say to Zion, Thou art my people. 
 
 17 If 'Awake, awake, stand up, Jerusa- 
 lem, who r hast drunk at the hand of Jeho- 
 vah the cup of his fury ; 'thou hast drunken 
 the dregs of the cup of trembling, and 
 wrung them out. 
 
 18 There is "no one to guide her among 
 all the sons whom she hath brought forth ; 
 neither is there any 'one' who taketh her 
 by the hand of all the sons whom she hath 
 brought up. 
 
 19 ' These two things tare come to thee ; 
 who shall be sorry for thee ? desolation, 
 and tdestruction, and the famine, and the 
 sword: " I8 how shall I comfort thee? 
 
 20 "Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the 
 head of all the streets, I9 like a wild bull in 
 a net: they are full of the fury of Jehovah, 
 the rebuke of thy God. 
 
 21 f Therefore hear now this, thou afflict- 
 ed, and drunken, "but not with wine :

 God 'who pleadeth the cause of his people, 
 Behold, I have taken out of thy hand the 
 cup of trembling, even the dregs of the cup 
 of my fury ; thou shalt no more drink it 
 again : 
 
 23 But "I will put it into the hand of 
 those who afflict thee ; 'who have said to 
 ^thee, Bow down, that we may go over : 
 and thou hast laid thy body 2 Uike the 
 ground, and ^like the street, to those who 
 went over. 
 
 CHAPTER LII. 
 
 1 Christ persuadeth the church to believe his free re- 
 demption, 7 to receive the ministers thereof, 9 to 
 joy in the power thereof, 1 1 and to free themselves 
 from bondage. 13 Christ's kingdom shall be ex- 
 alted. 
 
 AWAKE, "awake, put on thy strength, 
 O Zion ; put on thy beautiful garments, 
 O Jerusalem, 'the holy city : for "hence- 
 forth there shall no more come into thee 
 the uncircumcised ''and the unclean. 
 
 2 'Shake thyself from the dust; arise, 
 and sit 'up, O Jerusalem : 'loose thyself 
 from the hands of thy neck, O captive 
 daughter of Zion. 
 
 3 For thus saith Jehovah, s Ye 2 were sold 
 for 3 nothing; and ye shall be redeemed 
 without money. 
 
 4 For thus saith the Lord Jehovah, My 
 people went down formerly into *Egypt to 
 sojourn there ; and the Assyrian oppressed 
 them without cause. 
 
 5 Now therefore, what have I here, saith 
 Jehovah, that my people s are taken away 
 6 without cause ? they that rule over them 
 make them to howl, saith Jehovah; and 
 my name continually every day is "made 
 reproachful. 
 
 6 Therefore my people shall know my 
 name : therefore they shall know in that 
 day that I am he that doth speak : behold, 
 it is I. 
 
 7 If *How beautiful on the mountains are 
 the feet of him who bringeth good tidings, 
 who publisheth peace; who bringeth good 
 tidings of good, who publisheth salvation ; 
 who saith to Zion, 'Thy God reigneth ! 
 
 8 Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice ; 
 with the voice together shall they sing: for 
 they shall see eye to eye, when Jehovah 
 shall 9 restore Zion. 
 
 9 U Break forth into joy, sing together, ye 
 waste places of Jerusalem : m for Jehovah 
 hath comforted his people, "he hath re- 
 deemed Jerusalem. 
 
 10 "Jehovah hath made bare his holy arm 
 in the eyes of all the nations : and ? all the 
 ends of the earth shall see the salvation 
 of our God. 
 
 11 If 'Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from 
 thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out 
 10 from the midst of her ; r be ye clean, who 
 bear the vessels of Jehovah. 
 
 12 For 'ye shall not go out with haste, 
 nor go by flight: 'for Jehovah will go be- 
 fore you ; "and the God of Israel will tie 
 your rere-ward. 
 
 13 f Behold, 'my servant shall "prosper, 
 *he shall be exalted and extolled, and be 
 very high. 
 
 14 As many were astonished at thee; 
 (his "visage was so "disfigured more than 
 any man, and his form more than the sons 
 of men :) 
 
 15 °So shall he sprinkle many nations; 
 
Christ's sufferings foretold. 
 
 CHAPTERS LIII. LIV. LV. 
 
 The church is comforted. 
 
 'the kings shall shut their mouths "before 
 him : for that 'which had not been told 
 them shall they see ; and that which they 
 had not heard shall they "perceive. 
 
 CHAPTER LIII. 
 
 1 The prophet, complaining of incredulity, excuseth 
 the scandal of the cross, 4 by the benefit of his pas- 
 sion, 10 and the good success thereof 
 
 WHO "hath believed what we || |report? 
 and to whom is 'the arm of Jehovah 
 revealed ? 
 
 2 For c he shall grow up before him 'like 
 a tender plant, and *like a root out of a 
 dry ground : d he hath no form nor comeli- 
 ness ; and when we shall see him, there is 
 no beauty that we should desire him. 
 
 3 'He is despised and 'forsaken by men ; 
 a man of sorrows, and ^acquainted with 
 
 trief: and ||tas one who causeth men to 
 ide their faces from him ; he was despised, 
 and 5 we esteemed him not. 
 
 4 If Surely *he hath borne our griefs, and 
 carried our sorrows : yet we did esteem 
 him *beaten, smitten s by God, and afflicted. 
 
 5 But he was || 'wounded for our trans- 
 gressions, he was bruised for our iniquities ; 
 the chastisement 6 for our peace was on 
 him ; and with his Hstripes we are healed. 
 
 6 'All we like sheep 7 had gone astray; 
 we 8 had turned every one to his own way ; 
 and the Lord thath laid on him the iniqui- 
 ty of us all. 
 
 7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, 
 yet m he opened not his mouth : "he is 
 brought 'like a lamb to the slaughter, and 
 as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, 
 so he opened not his mouth. 
 
 8 || He was taken from prison and from 
 judgment: and who shall "declare his ge- 
 neration? w for "he was cut off from the 
 land of the living : for the transgression 
 of my people twas he 13 smitten. 
 
 9 "And he made his grave with the wick- 
 ed, and with the rich in his tdeath ; "though 
 he had done no violence, neither was any 
 'deceit in his mouth. 
 
 10 f Yet it pleased Jehovah to bruise 
 him; he hath put him to grief: flwhen thou 
 shalt make his l5 life 'an offering for sin, he 
 shall see his seed, 'he shall prolong his 
 days, and 'the pleasure of Jehovah shall 
 prosper in his hand. 
 
 11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, 
 and shall be satisfied : "by l6 the knowledge 
 of himself shall 'my righteous ^servant 
 justify many ; "for he shall bear their ini- 
 quities. 
 
 12 'Therefore will I divide him a portion 
 with the great, 'and he shall divide the 
 spoil with the strong; because he hath 
 poured out his "life to death : and he was 
 d numbered with the transgressors; and he 
 bore the sin of many, and 'made interces- 
 sion for the transgressors. 
 
 CHAPTER LIV. 
 
 1 The prophet, for the comfort of the Gentiles, pro- 
 phesieth the amplitude of their church, 4 their 
 safety, 6 their certain deliverance out of affliction, 
 11 their fair edification, 15 and their sure preser- 
 vation. 
 
 SING, "0 barren, thou who didst not 
 bear ; break forth into singing, and 
 cry aloud, thou toho didst not travail with 
 child : for 'more are the children of the 
 desolate than the children of the married 
 wife, saith Jehovah.

 and strengthen thy stakes ; 
 
 3 For thou shalt break forth on the right 
 hand and on the left ; *and thy seed shall 
 inherit the 'Gentiles, and make the deso- 
 late cities to be inhabited. 
 
 4 Fear not; for thou shalt not be asham- 
 ed : neither be thou confounded ; for thou 
 shalt not be put to shame : for thou shalt 
 forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt 
 not remember the reproach of thy widow- 
 hood any more. 
 
 5 'For thy Maker is thy husband; t Jeho- 
 vah of hosts is his name ; and thy Re- 
 deemer the Holy One of Israel ; *The God 
 of the whole earth shall he be called. 
 
 6 For Jehovah 'hath called thee *like a 
 woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and 
 a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, 
 saith thy God. 
 
 7 'For a 'little while have I forsaken thee; 
 but with great mercies will I gather thee. 
 
 8 In Overflowing wrath I hid my face 
 from thee for a moment ; *but with ever- 
 lasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, 
 saith Jehovah thy Redeemer. 
 
 9 For this is Hike the waters of 'Noah to 
 me : for as I have sworn that the waters 
 of Noah should no more go over the earth ; 
 so have I sworn that I would not be 6 angry 
 with thee, nor rebuke thee. 
 
 10 For m the mountains shall depart, and 
 the hills be removed; "but my kindness 
 shall not depart from thee, neither shall the 
 covenant of my peace be removed, saith 
 Jehovah who hath 7 pity on thee. 
 
 11 IT O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, 
 and not comforted ! behold, I will lay thy 
 stones with °fair colours, and lay thy foun- 
 dations with sapphires. 
 
 12 And I will make thy 8 battlements of 
 9 rubies, and thy gates or carbuncles, and 
 all thy borders of pleasant stones. 
 
 13 And all thy children shall be "taught 
 ro by Jehovah ; and 'great shall be the peace 
 of thy children. 
 
 14 "By righteousness shalt thou be esta- 
 blished : thou shalt be far from oppression ; 
 for thou shalt not fear : and from terror ; 
 for it shall not come near thee. 
 
 15 Behold, they shall surely gather to- 
 gether, but not by me : whoever shall 
 gather together against thee shall fall for 
 thy sake. 
 
 16 Behold, I have created the smith who 
 bloweth the coals in the fire, and who 
 bringeth forth an instrument 12 by his work; 
 and I have created the waster to destroy. 
 
 17 If No weapon that is formed against 
 thee shall prosper ; and every tongue which 
 shall rise against thee in judgment thou 
 shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the 
 servants of Jehovah, r and their righteous 
 ness is ,s from me, saith Jehovah.

 tthe unrighteous man "his thoughts : and 
 let him turn to Jehovah, "and he will have 
 mercy on him; and to our God, for the 
 will abundantly pardon. 
 
 8 If ^For my thoughts are not your thoughts, 
 neither are your ways my ways, saith Je- 
 hovah. 
 
 9 'For as the heavens are higher than the 
 earth, so are my ways higher than your 
 ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. 
 
 10 For r as the 4 shower cometh down, and 
 the snow from heaven, and returneth not 
 thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh 
 it bring forth and bud, that it may give 
 seed to the sower, and bread to the eater : 
 
 11 'So shall my word be that goeth forth 
 6 from my mouth : it shall not return to me 
 fruitless, but it shall accomplish that which 
 I please, and it shall prosper in the thing 
 to which I sent it. 
 
 12 'For ye shall go 7 forth with joy, and 
 be led forth with peace: the mountains and 
 the hills shall "break forth before you into 
 singing, and *all the trees of the field shall 
 clap their hands. 
 
 13 "Instead of 2 the thorn shall come up the 
 8 cypress-tree, and instead of the brier shall 
 come up the myrtle-tree : and it shall be 
 to Jehovah "for a name, for an everlasting 
 sign ivhich shall not be cut off. 
 
 CHAPTER LVI. 
 
 1 The prophet exhorteth to sanctification. 3 He pro- 
 miseth it shall be general without respect of per- 
 sons. 9 He inveigheth against blind watchmen. 
 
 THUS saith Jehovah, Keep ye || judg- 
 ment, and do justice : "for my salva- 
 tion is near to come, and my righteousness 
 to be revealed. 
 
 2 'Happy is the man who doeth this, and 
 the son of man who layeth hold *of it ; b who 
 keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and 
 keepeth his hand from doing any evil. 
 
 3 if Neither let 'the son of the stranger, 
 who hath joined himself to Jehovah, speak, 
 saying, Jehovah hath utterly separated me 
 from nis people: neither let the eunuch 
 say, Behold, I am a dry tree. 
 
 4 For thus saith Jehovah Concerning the 
 eunuchs who keep my sabbaths, and choose 
 the things which please me, and take hold 
 of my covenant ; 
 
 5 Even to them will I give in d my house 
 and within my walls, a place 'and a name 
 better than ' that' of sons and of daugh- 
 ters : I will give them an everlasting name, 
 which shall not be cut off.

 1 The blessed death of the righteous. 3 God reprovelh 
 the Jews for their whorish idolatry. 13 He giveth 
 evangelical promises to the penitent. 
 
 THE righteous perisheth, and no man 
 layeth it to heart: and t s 'kind men 
 are taken away, 62 no one considering that the 
 righteous is taken away ||from the evil to 
 come. 
 
 2 He shall ||enter into peace : they shall 
 rest in 'their beds, each one walking \\in his 
 uprightness. 
 
 3 ^ But draw near hither, ''ye sons of the 
 sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the 
 3 harlot. 
 
 4 Against whom do ye sport yourselves? 
 against whom make ye a wide mouth, and 
 draw out the tongue? are ye not children 
 of transgression, a seed of falsehood ; 
 
 5 Inflaming yourselves ||with idols 'under 
 every green tree, 'slaying the children in 
 the valleys under the clefts of the rocks ? 
 
 6 Among the smooth ^places of the stream 
 is thy portion ; they, they are thy lot : even 
 to them hast thou poured a drink-offering, 
 thou hast offered a s meal -offering. Should 
 I receive comfort in these ? 
 
 7 *Upon a lofty and high mountain hast 
 thou set ''thy bed : even thither wentest 
 thou up to offer sacrifice. 
 
 8 Behind the doors also and the posts hast 
 thou set up thy Memorial : for thou hast 'un- 
 covered thyself to another s besides me, and 
 9 hast gone up; thou hast enlarged thy bed, 
 and jlmade thee a covenant with them ; 'thou 
 lovedst their bed ||where thou '"didst see it. 
 
 9 And || "thou wentest to the king with 
 ointment, and didst increase thy perfumes, 
 and didst send thy messengers far off, and 
 didst debase thyself even to "hell. 
 
 10 Thou art wearied in the ' 2 length of 
 thy way ; 'yet saidst thou not, There is no 
 hope : thou hast found "life in thy hand ; 
 therefore thou wast not grieved.

 or feared, that thou hast "been false, and

 hast not remembered me, nor laid it to thy 
 heart ? "have not I held my peace even of 
 old, and thou fearest me not? 
 
 12 I will declare thy righteousness, and 
 thy works ; for they shall not profit thee. 
 
 13 ^ When thou criest, let thy companies 
 deliver thee ; but the wind shall carry them 
 all away ; vanity shall take them .• but he 
 who putteth his trust in me shall possess 
 the land, and shall inherit my holy moun- 
 tain; 
 
 14 And ■ one' shall say, "Cast ye up, cast 
 ye up, prepare the way, take up the stum- 
 bling-block out of the way of my people. 
 
 15 For thus saith the high and lofty One 
 who inhabiteth eternity, p whose name is 
 Holy; «I dwell in the high and holy place, 
 r witn him also who is of a contrite and 
 humble spirit, 'to revive the spirit of the 
 humble, and to revive the heart of the 
 contrite ones. 
 
 16 'For I will not contend for ever, nei- 
 ther will I be always 15 angry : for the spi- 
 rit 16 would fail before me, and the souls 
 "which I have made. 
 
 17 For the iniquity of *his covetousness 
 was I "angry, and smote him : "I hid my- 
 self, and was I8 angry, r and he went on 
 f I9 perversely in the way of his heart. 
 
 18 I have seen his ways, and "will heal 
 trim: I will lead him also, and restore 
 comforts to him and to 'his mourners. 
 
 19 I create c the fruit of the lips ; Peace, 
 peace d to him who is far off, and to him 
 who is near, saith Jehovah; 20 for I will 
 heal him. 
 
 20 'But the wicked are like the troubled 
 sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast 
 up mire and dirt. 
 
 21 t There is no peace, saith my God, 21 for 
 the wicked.

 I The prophet, being sent to reprove hypocrisy, 3 ei- 
 presseth a counterfeit fast and a true. 8 lie de- 
 clareth what promises are due to godliness, 1 3 and 
 to the keeping of the sabbath. 
 
 CRY taloud, spare not, lift up thy voice 
 like a trumpet, and shew my people 
 their transgression, and the house of Jacob 
 their sins. 
 
 2 Yet they seek me daily, and delight to 
 know my ways, 'like a nation that did 
 righteousness, and forsook not the ordi- 
 nance of their God : they ask of me the 
 ^decisions of justice : they take delight in 
 approaching to God. 
 
 3 ^[ "Wherefore have we fasted, say they, 
 and thou seest not ? wherefore have we 
 ^afflicted our soul, and thou takest no 
 knowledge? Behold, in the clay of your 
 fast ye 'pursue pleasure, and 4 oppress all 
 your labourers. 
 
 4 "Behold, ye fast for strife and 'conten- 
 tion, and to smite with the fist of wicked- 
 ness : Hye shall not fast as ye do this clay, 
 to make your voice to be heard on high. 
 
 5 Is it rf such a fast that I have chosen r 
 *||a day for a man to afflict his soul ? is it 
 to bow down his head 6 like a bulrush, and 
 'to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? 
 wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable

 CHAPTER LIX. 
 
 1 The damnable nature of sin. 3 The sins of the 
 Jews. 9 Calamity is for sin. 16 Salvation is only 
 of God. 20 The covenant of the Redeemer. 
 
 BEHOLD, Jehovah's hand is not "short- 
 ened, that it cannot save; neither his 
 ear 'dull, that it cannot hear: 
 
 2 But your iniquities have separated be- 
 tween you and your God, and your sins 
 llhave hidden his face from you, 'so' that 
 he will not hear. 
 
 3 For 'your hands are defiled with blood, 
 and your fingers with iniquity ; your lips 
 have spoken lies, your tongue hath mut- 
 tered perverseness. 
 
 4 None calleth for justice, nor any plead- 
 eth for truth : they trust in vanity, and 
 speak lies ; c they conceive mischief, and 
 bring forth iniquity. 
 
 5 They hatch 2 viper's eggs, and weave 
 the spider's web : he that eateth of their 
 eggs dieth, and ||that which is crushed 
 breaketh out into 3 an adder. 
 
 6 "Their webs shall not become garments, 
 neither shall they cover themselves with 
 their works : their works are works of ini- 
 quity, and the act of violence is in their 
 hands. 
 
 7 'Their feet run to evil, and they make 
 haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts 
 are thoughts of iniquity ; "oppression and 
 {destruction are in their paths. 
 
 495 
 
Salvation cotnelh of God only. 
 
 8 The way of peace they know not: and 
 there is no || judgment in their goings : 
 'they have made themselves crooked paths : 
 whoever goeth therein shall not know 
 peace. 
 
 9 If Therefore is judgment far from us, 
 neither doth justice overtake us : %e wait 
 for light, but behold obscurity ; for bright- 
 ness, but we walk in darkness. 
 
 10 'We grope for the wall like the blind, 
 and we grope as if we had no eyes : we 
 stumble at noon-day as in the night ; in 
 6 fertile places we are 6 like dead men. 
 
 11 We roar all like bears, and *monrn 
 'deeply like doves : we look for judgment, 
 but there is none ; for salvation, but it is 
 far 8 from us. 
 
 12 For our transgressions are multiplied 
 before thee, and our sins testify against 
 us : for our transgressions are with us ; and 
 as for our iniquities, we know them ; 
 
 13 9 By transgressing and lying against 
 Jehovah, and departing away from our 
 God, speaking "violence and revolt, con- 
 ceiving and uttering 'from the heart words 
 of falsehood. 
 
 14 And judgment is turned away back- 
 ward, and justice standeth afar oft": for 
 truth is fallen in the street, and equity 
 cannot enter. 
 
 15 Yea, truth faileth; and he who de- 
 parteth from evil ||maketh himself a prey : 
 and Jehovah saw it, and tit displeased him 
 that there was no judgment. 
 
 16 If 'And he saw that there was no man, 
 and "wondered that there was no interces- 
 sor : "therefore his arm brought salvation 
 to him; and his righteousness, it sustain- 
 ed him. 
 
 17 "For he put on righteousness as a 
 breast-plate, and a helmet of salvation on 
 his head ; and he put on the garments of 
 vengeance/or clothing, and was clad with 
 zeal as a cloak. 
 
 18 'According to their tdeeds, according- 
 ly he will repay, fury to his adversaries, 
 recompense to his enemies ; to the islands 
 he will repay recompense. 
 
 19 'So shall they fear the name of Jeho- 
 vah from the west, and his glory from the 
 rising of the sun. When the enemy shall 
 come in iike a flood, the Spirit of Jehovah 
 "will ||lift up a standard against him. 
 
 20 H And 'the Redeemer shall come to 
 Zion, and to those who turn from trans- 
 gression in Jacob, saith Jehovah. 
 
 21 'As for me, this is my covenant with 
 them, saith Jehovah ; my Spirit which is 
 on thee, and my words which I have put 
 in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy 
 mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, 
 nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, 
 saith Jehovah, from henceforth and for 
 ever.

 CHAPTER LXI. 
 
 1 The office of Christ. 4, The forwardness,! andbless- 
 ings of the faithful. 
 
 THE "Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is 
 upon me ; 'for Jehovah 'hath anointed 
 me to preach good tidings to the tneek ; he 
 hath sent me to bind up the broken-heart- 
 ed, to proclaim ■'liberty to the captives, and 
 the opening of the prison to those who are 
 bound ; 
 
 2 'To proclaim the acceptable year of 
 Jehovah, and ■''the day of vengeance of 
 our God ; to comfort all who mourn ; 
 
 3 To appoint to those who mourn in Zion, 
 to give to them beauty 'instead of ashes, 
 the oil of joy instead of mourning, the 
 garment of praise instead of the spirit of 
 heaviness ; that they 6 may be called Trees 
 of righteousness, 'The 'plantation of Je- 
 hovah, that he 8 may be glorified. 
 
 4 U And they shall 'build the old wastes, 
 they shall raise up the former desolations, 
 and they shall repair the waste cities, the 
 desolations of many generations. 
 
 5 And "strangers shall stand and feed 
 your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall 
 be your ploughmen and your vine-dressers. 
 
 6 "But ye shall be named the Priests of 
 Jehovah: men shall call you the Ministers 
 of our God : °ye shall eat the riches of the 
 Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast 
 yourselves. 
 
 7 If p For your shame ye shall have double ; 
 and for 'disgrace they shall rejoice in their 
 portion : therefore in their land they shall 
 possess the double: everlasting joy shall 
 be to them. 
 
 8 For 'I Jehovah love '"justice, r I hate 
 robbery for burnt-offering; and I will di- 
 rect their work in "faithfulness, 'and I will 
 make an everlasting covenant with them. 
 
 9 And their seed shall be known among 
 the Gentiles, and their offspring among the 
 
 fieople: all who see them shall acknow- 
 edge them, that they are the seed which 
 Jehovah hath blessed. 
 
 10 U I will greatly rejoice in Jehovah, my 
 soul shall be joyful in my God ; for "he hath 
 clothed me with the garments of salvation, 
 he hath covered me with the robe of right- 
 eousness, y ns a bridegroom tdecketh him- 
 self with ornaments, and as a bride adorn - 
 eth herself with 12 a diadem. 
 
 11 For as the earth bringeth forth her 
 "sprout, and as the garden causeth the 
 things that are sown in it to spring forth ; 
 so the Lord Jehovah will cause righteous- 
 ness and "praise to spring forth before all 
 the nations.

 8 Jehovah hath sworn by his right hand,

 will no more "give thy 6 grain to be food for 
 thine enemies; and the sons of the stranger 
 shall not drink thy wine, for 8 which thou

 12 And they shall call them, The holy 
 people, The redeemed of Jehovah: and 
 thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city 
 'not forsaken. 
 
 CHAPTER LXIII. 
 
 1 Christ sheweth who he is, 2 what his victory over 
 his enemies, 7 and what his mercy toward his 
 church. 10 In his just wrath he remembereth his 
 free mercy. 15 The church in their prayer, 17 and 
 complaint, profess their faith. 
 
 WHO is this that cometh from Edom, 
 with 'scarlet garments from Bozrah? 
 this that is tglorious in his apparel, travel- 
 ling in the greatness of his strength? I who 
 speak in righteousness, mighty to save. 
 
 2 Wherefore "art thou red in thine appa- 
 rel, and thy garments like him that tread- 
 eth in the wine-vat? 
 
 3 I have trodden the wine-press alone ; 
 and of the people there were none with 
 me : for I will tread them in mine anger, 
 and trample them in my fury, and their 
 blood shall be sprinkled on my garments, 
 and I will stain all my raiment. 
 
 4 For the c day of vengeance is in my 
 
 497 
 
Christ remembereth mercy in his wrath. 
 
 heart, and the year of my redeemed 2 hath 
 come. 
 
 5 d And I looked, and 'there was 3 no one 
 to help; and I wondered that there was 
 4 no one to uphold: therefore mine own 
 farm brought salvation to me; and my fury, 
 it upheld me. 
 
 6 And I will tread down the people in 
 mine anger, and s make them drunk in my 
 fury, and I will bring down their strength 
 to the earth. 
 
 7 If I will mention the 5 kindnesses of Je- 
 hovah, and the praises of Jehovah, ac- 
 cording to all which Jehovah hath bestow- 
 ed on us, and the great goodness towards 
 the house of Israel, which he hath bestow- 
 ed on them according to his mercies, and 
 according to the multitude of his kind- 
 nesses. 
 
 8 For he said, Surely they are my people, 
 children who will not lie : so he was their 
 Saviour. 
 
 9 *In all their affliction he was afflicted, 
 'and the angel of his presence saved them : 
 *in his love and in his pity he redeemed 
 them ; and ! he bore them, and carried them 
 all the days of old. 
 
 10 If But they "rebelled, and n7 grieved 
 his Holy Spirit : "therefore he was turned 
 to be their enemy, and he fought against 
 them. 
 
 11 Then he remembered the days of old, 
 Moses, and his people, saying, Where is 
 he who ^brought them up out of the sea 
 with the ||shepherd of his flock ? 'where is 
 he who put his Holy Spirit within him. 
 
 12 Who led them by the right hand of 
 Moses r with his glorious arm, 'dividing the 
 water before them, to make himself an 
 everlasting name ? 
 
 13 'Who led them through the deep 8 like 
 a horse in the 9 desert, that they should not 
 stumble? 
 
 14 As I0 one of the herd goeth down into 
 the valley, the Spirit of Jehovah caused 
 him to rest : so didst thou lead thy people, 
 "to make thyself a glorious name. 
 
 15 If x Look down from heaven, and be- 
 hold "from the habitation of thy holiness 
 and of thy glory : where is thy zeal and 
 thy strength, "thy tender z pity and ' 2 thy 
 mercies towards me ? are they restrained ? 
 
 16 al3 Surely thou art our Father, though 
 Abraham *be ignorant of us, and Israel 
 acknowledge us not : thou, Jehovah, art 
 our Father, ||our Redeemer ; thy name is 
 from everlasting. 
 
 17 If Jehovah, why hast thou "made us 
 to err from thy ways, and 'hardened our 
 heart from thy fear? 'Return for thy ser- 
 vants' sake, the tribes of thine inheritance. 
 
 18 -The people of thy holiness have pos- 
 sessed it but a little while : f our adversa- 
 ries have trodden down thy sanctuary. 
 
 19 We are thine: thou "didst never bear 
 rule over them ; ||they were not called by 
 thy name.

 2 As when tthe melting fire burneth, the 
 fire causeth the waters to boil, to make thy 
 name known to thine adversaries, that the 
 nations may tremble at thy presence ! 
 
 3 When thou didst terrible things which 
 we looked not for, thou earnest down, the 
 mountains flowed down at thy presence. 
 
 4 For 'from everlasting d men have not 
 heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither 
 hath the eye ||seen, O God, besides thee, 
 what he hath prepared for him who wait- 
 eth for him. 
 
 5 Thou meetest him that rejoiceth 'and 
 worketh righteousness, f those who remem- 
 ber thee in thy ways : behold, thou art 2 an- 
 gry ; for we have sinned : *in those is con- 
 tinuance, 3 for we shall be saved. 
 
 6 But we are all 4 like an unclean thing, and 
 all our ^righteousnesses are 5 like a filthy 
 garment ; and we all do 'fade 6 like a leaf; 
 and our iniquities, like the wind, have 
 taken us away. 
 
 7 And Hhere is 7 no one who calleth on 
 thy name, who stirreth up himself to take 
 hold of thee: for thou hast hidden thy 
 face from us, and hast tconsumed us, tbe- 
 cause of our iniquities. 
 
 8 'But now, O Jehovah, thou art our Fa- 
 ther ; we are the clay, m and thou our pot- 
 ter ; and we all are "the work of thy hand. 
 
 9_1f Be not o8 greatly angry, O Jehovah, 
 neither remember iniquity for ever : be- 
 hold, see, we beseech thee, p we are all thy 
 people. 
 
 10 Thy holy cities are a 9 desert, Zion is 
 a 10 desert, 'Jerusalem a desolation-. 
 
 11 r Our holy and our beautiful house, 
 where our fathers praised thee, is burned 
 up with fire : and all 'our pleasant things 
 are laid waste. 
 
 12 'Wilt thou refrain thyself "at these 
 things, O Jehovah? "wilt thou hold thy 
 peace, and afflict us very "grievously? 
 
 CHAPTER LXV. 
 
 1 The calling of the Gentiles. 2 The Jews, for their 
 incredulity, idolatry, and hypocrisy, are rejected. 
 8 A remnant shall be saved. 1 1 Judgments on the 
 wicked, and blessings on the godly. 17 The bless- 
 ed state of the new Jerusalem. 
 
 I a AM sought 'by those who asked not for 
 me; I am found 2 by those who sought 
 me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, to 
 a nation that "called not on my name. 
 
 2 C I have spread out my hands all the day 
 to a rebellious people, that walketh in a 
 way that is not good, after their own 
 4 desires ; 
 
 3 A people ''that provoketh me to anger 
 continually to my face; 'that sacrificeth in 
 gardens, and burneth incense tupon altars 
 of brick ; 
 
 4 -That remain among the graves, and 
 lodge in the 5 caverns, «who eat swine's 
 flesh, and ||broth of abominable things is 
 in their vessels ; 
 
 5 That say, Stand by thyself, come not 
 near to me; for I am holier than thou. 
 These are a smoke in iny ||nose, a fire that 
 burneth all the day. 
 
 6 Behold, 'it is written before me : *I will 
 not keep silence, 'but will recompense, 
 even recompense into their bosom, 
 
 7 Your iniquities, and '"the iniquities of 
 your fathers together, saith Jehovah, "who 
 have burned incense on the mountains, 
 "and 6 reviled me on the hills: therefore 
 
7%e blessed stale 
 
 CHAPTER LXVI. 
 
 will 1 measure their former work into their 
 bosom. 
 
 8 If Thus saith Jehovah, As the new wine 
 is found in the cluster, and one saith, De- 
 stroy it not ; for p a blessing is on it : so 
 will I do for my servants' sake, that I may 
 not destroy them all. 
 
 9 And I will bring forth a seed out of 
 Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my 
 mountains: and 7 my 'chosen shall inherit 
 it, and my servants shall dwell there. 
 
 10 And 'Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, 
 and 'the valley of Achor a place for the 
 herds to lie down in, for my people who 
 have sought me. 
 
 11 If But ye are they that forsake Jeho- 
 vah, that forget 'my holy mountain, that 
 prepare "a table for that s troop, and that 
 furnish the drink-offering to that "number 
 
 12 Therefore will I number you to the 
 sword, and ye shall all bow down to the 
 slaughter: 'because when I called, ye did 
 not answer; when I spoke, ye did not 
 hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and 
 did choose that wherein I delighted not. 
 
 13 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jeho 
 vah, Behold, my servants shall eat, but ye 
 shall be hungry : behold, my servants shall 
 drink, but ye shall be thirsty: behold, my 
 servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be 
 ashamed : 
 
 14 Behold, my servants shall sing for joy 
 of heart, but ye shall cry for sorrow of 
 heart, and "shall howl for t 10 anguish of 
 spirit. 
 
 15 And ye shall leave your name *for a 
 curse to "my chosen : for the Lord Jeho- 
 vah shall slay thee, and 'call his servants 
 by another name : 
 
 16 c That he who blesseth himself in the 
 earth, shall bless himself u by the God of 
 truth; and d he that sweareth in the earth 
 shall swear by the God of truth ; because 
 the former troubles are forgotten, and be- 
 cause they are hidden from mine eyes. 
 
 17 If For behold, I create 6 new heavens 
 and a new earth : and the former shall not 
 be remembered, nor tcome into mind. 
 
 18 But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in 
 that which I create : for behold, I create 
 Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy. 
 
 19 And 'I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and 
 joy in my people : and the ^voice of weep- 
 ing shall be no more heard in her, nor the 
 voice of crying. 
 
 20 There shall be no more thence an in- 
 fant 12 child, nor an old man who hath not 
 filled his days : for the child shall die a 
 hundred years old : A but the sinner being 
 a hundred years old shall be accursed. 
 
 21 And Hhey shall build houses and in- 
 habit them; and they shall plant vineyards, 
 and eat the fruit of them. 
 
 22 They shall not build, and another in- 
 habit; they shall not plant, and another 
 eat : for l as the days of a tree ™shall be the 
 days of my people, and I14 my chosen tshall 
 long enjoy the work of their hands. 
 
 23 They shall not labour in vain, m nor 
 bring forth ' children' for trouble; for "they 
 are the seed of the blessed of Jehovah, 
 and their offspring with them. 
 
 24 And it shall come to pass, that "before 
 they call, I will answer; and while they 
 are yet speaking, I will hear.

 CHAPTER LXVI. 
 
 1 The glorious God will be served in humble sinceri- 
 ty. 5 He comforteth the humble with the marvellous 
 generation, 10 and with the gracious benefits of 
 the church. 15 God's severe judgments against 
 the wicked. 19 The Gentiles shall have a holy 
 church, 24 and see the damnation of the wicked. 
 
 THUS saith Jehovah, "The heaven is 
 my throne, and the earth is my foot- 
 stool: where is the house that ye build 'for 
 me ? and where is the place ot my rest ? 
 
 2 For all these things hath my hand 
 made, and all these things have been, saitli 
 Jehovah : 'but to this man will I look, 
 'even to him who is 2 humble and of a con- 
 trite spirit, and d trembleth at my word. 
 
 3 e He who killeth an ox is as if he slew a 
 man ; he who sacrificeth a ||lamb, as if he 
 'cut oft" a dog's neck ; he who offereth an 
 oblation, as if he offered swine's blood ; he 
 who tburneth incense, as if he blessed an 
 idol. Yea, they have chosen their own 
 ways, and their soul delighteth in their 
 abominations. 
 
 4 I also will choose their Vexations, and 
 will bring their fears upon them ; ^because 
 when I called, 4 no one did answer ; when 
 I spoke, they did not hear : but they did 
 evil before mine eyes, and chose that in 
 which I delighted not. 
 
 5 If Hear the word of Jehovah, *y e who 
 tremble at his word ; Your brethren who 
 hated you, that cast you out for my name's 
 sake, said, 'Let Jehovah be glorified : but 
 *he shall appear to your joy, and they shall 
 be ashamed. 
 
 6 A voice of 5 tumult from the city, a 
 voice from the temple, a voice of Jehovah 
 who rendereth recompense to his enemies. 
 
 7 Before she travailed, she brought forth; 
 before her pain came, she was delivered of 
 a man-child. 
 
 8 Who hath heard such a thing? who 
 hath seen such things ? shall the earth be 
 made to bring forth in one day ? or shall a na- 
 tion be born at once ? for as soon as Zion 
 travailed, she brought forth her children. 
 
 9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not 
 || cause to bring forth ? said Jehovah: shall 
 I cause to bring forth, and Restrain the 
 birth ? saith thy God. 
 
 10 Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be 
 glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice 
 for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her: 
 
 11 That ye may suck, and be satisfied 
 witli the breasts of her consolations ; that 
 ye may 'suck, and be delighted with the 
 llabundance of her glory. 
 
 12 For thus saith Jehovah, Behold, 'I will 
 extend peace to her like a river, and the 
 glory of the Gentiles like 8 an overflowing 
 stream : then shall ye ""suck, ye shall be 
 "borne on her sides, and be dandled on her 
 knees. 
 
 13 As one whom his mother comforteth, 
 so will I comfort you ; and ye shall be 
 comforted in Jerusalem. 
 
 14 And when ye see this, your heart shall 
 rejoice, and "your bones shall flourish like 
 an herb : and the hand of Jehovah shall 
 be known towards his servants, and his 
 indignation towards his enemies. 
 
 499 
 
The gathering of all nations. 
 
 15 'For behold, Jehovah will come with 
 fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, 
 to render his anger with fury, and his re- 
 buke with flames of fire. 
 
 16 For by fire and by 'his sword will Je- 
 hovah "contend with all flesh : and the 
 slain of Jehovah shall be many. 
 
 17 'Those who sanctify themselves, and 
 purify themselves in the gardens l0 one af- 
 ter another in the midst, eating swine's 
 flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, 
 shall be consumed together, saith Jehovah. 
 
 18 For I know their works and their 
 thoughts; it shall come 'to pass', that I 
 will gather all nations and tongues; and 
 they shall come, and see my glory. 
 
 19 'And I will set a sign among them, 
 and I will send those that escape of them 
 to the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, 
 that draw the bow, to Tubal, and "Greece, 
 to the 12 coasts afar off, which have not heard 
 my fame, neither have seen my glory ; 'and 
 they shall declare my glory among the 
 "nations.

 IT THE BOOK OF THE PROPHET JEREMIAH. 
 
 CHAPTER I. 
 
 1 The time, 3 and the calling of Jeremiah. 1 1 His 
 prophetical visions of an almond-rod and a 'boil- 
 ing-pot. 15 His heavy message against Judah. 
 17 God encourageth him with his promise of as- 
 sistance. 
 
 THE words of Jeremiah the son of Hil- 
 kiah, of the priests that were "in Ana- 
 thoth in the land of Benjamin : 
 
 2 To whom the word of Jehovah came 
 in the days of Josiah the son of Amon 
 king of Judah, In the thirteenth year of 
 his reign. 
 
 3 It came also in the days of Jehoiakim 
 the son of Josiah king of Judah, c2 until the 
 end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the 
 son of Josiah king of Jiidah, "until the 
 carrying awav of Jerusalem captives e in 
 the fifth month. 
 
 4 *Now the word of Jehovah came to 
 me, saying, 
 
 5 Before I 'formed thee in the 'body, s l 
 knew thee ; and before thou earnest forth 
 6 from the womb I "sanctified thee, and I 
 fappointed thee a prophet to the nations. 
 
 6 Then said I, 'Ah, Lord Jehovah ! be- 
 hold, I cannot speak : for I am a child . 
 
 7 U But Jehovah said to me, Say not, I 
 am a child : for thou shalt go to all to whom 
 I shall send thee, and * whatever I com- 
 mand thee thou shalt speak. 
 
 8 'Be not afraid of their faces : for m I am 
 with thee to deliver thee, saith Jehovah. 
 
 9 Then Jehovah put forth his hand, and 
 "touched my mouth. And Jehovah said to 
 me, Behold, I have "put my words in thy 
 mouth. 
 
 10 p See, I have this day set thee over the 
 nations and over the kingdoms, to 'root 
 out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and 
 to throw down, to build, and to plant. 
 
 11 U Moreover the word of Jehovah 
 came to me, saying, Jeremiah, What seest

 the second time, saying, What seest thou ? 
 And I said, I see r a 10 6oiling-pot ; and the 
 face thereof is u from the north. 
 
 14 Then Jehovah said to me, 12 From the 
 "north an evil tshall break forth upon all 
 the inhabitants of the land. 
 
 15 For lo, I will 'call all the families of 
 the kingdoms of the north, saith Jehovah; 
 and they shall come, and they shall "set 
 "each one his throne at the entering of the 
 gates of Jerusalem, and against all the 
 walls thereof round about, and against all 
 the cities of Judah. 
 
 16 And I will utter my judgments against 
 them 14 for all their wickedness, "who have 
 forsaken me, and have burned incense to 
 other gods, and worshipped the works of 
 their own hands. 
 
 17 ^f Thou therefore "gird up thy loins, 
 and arise, and speak to them all which I 
 command thee : *be not dismayed at their 
 faces, lest I ||confound thee before them. 
 
 18 For behold, I have made thee this day 
 tt a '''fortified city, and an iron pillar, and 
 brazen walls against the whole land, against 
 the kings of Judah, against the princes 
 thereof, against the priests thereof, and 
 against the people of the land. 
 
 19 And they' s will fight against thee ; but 
 they shall not prevail against thee ; for I 
 am with thee, saith Jehovah, to deliver 
 thee. 
 
 CHAPTER II. 
 
 1 God, having shewed his former kindness, expostu- 
 lated tvith the Jews their causeless revolt, 9 be- 
 yond any example. 14 They are the causes of their 
 own calamities. 20 The sins of Judah. 31 Her 
 confidence is rejected. 
 
 MOREOVER the word of Jehovah 
 came to me, saying, 
 2 Go, and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, 
 saying, Thus saith Jehovah; I remember 
 ||thee, the kindness of thy "youth, the love 
 of thine espousals, \vhen thou wentest af- 
 
God expostulateth with the Jews, 
 
 ter ine in the 'desert, in a land which was 
 not sown. 
 
 3 'Israel was holiness to Jehovah, and 
 ''the first-fruits of his increase : 'all 2 who 
 devoured him were guilty ; evil came upon 
 them, saith Jehovah. 
 
 4 Hear ye the word of Jehovah, house 
 of Jacob, and all the families of the house 
 of Israel : 
 
 5 If Thus saith Jehovah, s What 3 evil did 
 your fathers find in me, that they Vent 
 Far from me, ff and 5 walked after vanity, 
 and 6 became vain ? 
 
 6 Neither said they, "Where is Jehovah 
 who ^brought us up 'from the land of Egypt, 
 who led us through 'the Mesert, through a 
 land of 9 wastes and of pits, through a land 
 of drought, and of the shadow of death, 
 through a land which no man passed 
 through, and where no man dwelt ? 
 
 7 And I brought you into *a "fertile coun- 
 try, to eat the fruit thereof and the good- 
 ness thereof; but when ye entered, ye 'de- 
 filed my land, and made my heritage an 
 abomination. 
 
 8 The priests said not, Where is Jeho- 
 vah ? and those who handle the m law knew 
 me not: the "shepherds also transgressed 
 against me, "and the prophets prophesied 
 by Baal, and walked after things mat "do 
 not profit. 
 
 9 If Wherefore P I will yet I2 contend with 
 you, saith Jehovah, and 'with your child- 
 ren's children will I "contend. 
 
 10 For pass ||over the isles of Chittim, 
 and see ; and send to Kedar, and consider 
 diligently, and see if there be sucha thing. 
 
 11 r Hath a nation changed their gods, 
 which are 'yet no gods? 'but my people 
 have changed their glory for Hhat which 
 doth not profit. 
 
 12 *Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, 
 and "shudder, be ye "utterly amazed, saith 
 Jehovah. 
 
 13 For my people have committed two 
 evils ; they have forsaken methe y fountain of 
 living water, and hewed them out cisterns, 
 broken cisterns, that can hold no water. 
 
 14 Tf Is Israel *a servant ? is he a home- 
 born slave ? why is he tspoiled ? 
 
 15 "The young lions roar "over him, and 
 tyell, and they make his land "a desola- 
 tion : his cities are burned without inha- 
 bitant. 
 
 16 "Even the children of Noph and Ta- 
 hapanes have "consumed the crown of thy 
 head. 
 
 17 c Hast thou not procured this to thy- 
 self, in that thou hast forsaken Jehovah 
 thy God, when d he led thee by the way ? 
 
 18 And now what hast thou, to do "in the 
 way of Egypt, to drink the waters of -^the 
 Nile ? or what hast thou to do in the way 
 of Assyria, to drink the waters of the river ? 
 
 19 21 Thy ^wickedness shall correct thee, 
 and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: 
 know therefore and see that it is an evil 
 and bitter thing, that thou hast forsaken 
 Jehovah thy God, and that my fear is not 
 in thee, saith the Lord Jehovah of hosts. 
 
 20 If For of old time I have broken thy 
 yoke, and burst thy bands; and *thou 
 saidst, I will not ^be in subjection ; when 
 •on every high hill and under every green 
 tree thou 23 reclinedst, *playing the harlot.

 wholly a "genuine seed : how then art thou 
 
 turned into m the degenerate ^shoot of a 
 strange vine to me ? 
 
 22 For though thou "wash thee with nitre, 
 and take thee much soap, yet "thine iniqui- 
 ty is ^filthy before me, saith the Lord Je- 
 hovah. 
 
 23 'How canst thou say, I am not pollut- 
 ed, I have not gone after Baalim ? See thy 
 way «in the valley, know what thou hast 
 done : \\thou art a swift "young she-camel 
 traversing her ways ; 
 
 24 r ||A wild ass fused to the 28 pasture 
 grounds, that snuft'eth up the wind 29 in ther 
 desire ; in her occasion who can ||turn her 
 away ? all those who seek her will not 
 weary themselves ; in her month they ^will 
 find her. 
 
 25 Withhold thy foot from being unshod, 
 and thy throat from thirst : but s thou saidst, 
 IIThere is no hope : no ; for I have loved 
 'strangers, and after them will I go. 
 
 26 As the thief is ashamed when he is 
 found, so is the house of Israel ashamed ; 
 they, their kings, their princes, and their 
 priests, and their prophets, 
 
 27 Saying to a 31 block, Thou art my fa- 
 ther ; and to a stone, Thou hast ^begotten 
 me : for they have turned \their back to 
 me. and not their face : but in the time of 
 their "trouble they will say, Arise, and 
 save us. 
 
 28 But *where are thy gods which thou 
 hast made 33 for thyself? let them arise, if 
 they y can save thee in the time of thy ttrou- 
 ble : for According to the number of thy 
 cities are thy gods, O Judah. 
 
 29 "Wherefore will ye ^contend with 
 me ? ye all have transgressed against me, 
 saith Jehovah. 
 
 30 In vain have I 'smitten your children; 
 they received no correction : your own 
 sword hath 'devoured your prophets, like 
 a destroying lion. 
 
 31 If O generation, see ye the word of 
 Jehovah. d Have I been a 35 desert to Is- 
 rael ? a land of darkness ? wherefore say 
 my people, 'We ^will rove at pleasure ; 
 f we will come no more to thee ? 
 
 32 Can a 37 virgin forget her ornaments ? 
 or a bride her attire ? yet my people ^have 
 forgotten me days without number. 
 
 33 Why trimmest thou thy way to seek 
 love ? therefore hast thou also taught the 
 wicked ones thy ways. 
 
 34 Also in thy skirts is found ''the blood of 
 the 36 lives of the poor innocents : I have not 
 found it by tsecret search, but on all these. 
 
 35 'Yet thou sayest, Because I am inno- 
 cent, surely his anger 39 will turn from me. 
 Behold, *I will 40 contend with thee, 'be- 
 cause thou sayest, I have not sinned. 
 
 36 m Why gaddest thou about so much to 
 change thy way ? "thou also shalt be asham- 
 ed of Egypt, "as thou wast ashamed of As- 
 syria. 
 
 37 Yea, thou shalt go forth from him, and 
 p thy hands on thy head : for Jehovah hath 
 rejected thy confidences, and thou shalt 
 not prosper in them. 
 
 CHAPTER III. 
 
 1 God's great mercy in Judah's vile 'lewdness. 6 Ju- 
 dah is worse than Israel. 12 The promises of the 
 gospel to the penitent. 20 Israel reproved, and 
 called by God, maketh a solemn confession of their 
 sins. 
 
 501 
 
Judah , s vile lewdness. 
 
 THEY tsay, If a man put away his wife, 
 and she go from him, and become an- 
 other man's, o2 will he return to her again? 
 shall not that 'land be greatly polluted ? 
 but thou hast 'played the narlot with many 
 lovers ; d yet return again to me, saith Je- 
 hovah. 
 
 2 Lift up thine eyes to c the high places, 
 and see where thou hast not been lain with. 
 ■^In the ways hast thou sat for them, 3 like 
 the Arabian in the Mesert ; ^and thou hast 
 polluted the land with thy lewdness, and 
 with thy wickedness. 
 
 3 "Though the *showers have been with- 
 holden, and there hath been no latter rain ; 
 7 yet thou hadst a '' "harlot's forehead, thou 
 refusedst to be ashamed. 
 
 4 Wilt thou not from this time cry to me, 
 My father, thou 9 tmst 'the guide of 'my 
 youth ? 
 
 5 m Will he '"retain his anger for ever ? 
 will he keep it "forevermore ? Behold, 
 thou hast spoken and done evil things as 
 ' far as' thou couldest. 
 
 6 If Jehovah said also to me in the days 
 of Josiah the king, Hast thou seen that 
 which "backsliding Israel hath done ? she 
 !2 hath "gone up upon every high mountain, 
 and under every green tree, and there hath 
 played the harlot. 
 
 7 p And I said after she had done all these 
 things, '"Return thou to me. But she re- 
 turned not. # And her treacherous 'sister 
 Judah saw it. 
 
 8 And I saw, 'thaf when r for all the 
 causes whereby backsliding Israel commit- 
 ted adultery, I had 'put her away, and 
 given her a bill of divorce ; 'yet her trea- 
 cherous sister Judah feared not, but went 
 and played the harlot also. 
 
 9 Ana it came to pass through the 14 fame 
 of her "lewdness, that she "denied the 
 land, and committed adultery with'stones 
 and with '"blocks. 
 
 10 And yet for all this, her treacherous 
 sister Judah hath not turned to me "with her 
 whole heart, but tfeignedly, saith Jehovah. 
 
 11 And Jehovah said to me, z The back- 
 sliding Israel hath justified herself more 
 than treacherous Judah. 
 
 12 *[f Go and proclaim these words to- 
 wards "the north, and say, Return, thou 
 backsliding Israel, saith Jehovah; and I 
 will not cause mine anger to fall upon you : 
 for I am 'merciful, saith Jehovah, and I 
 will not keep anger for ever. _ 
 
 13 c Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that 
 thou hast transgressed against Jehovah thy 
 God, and hast ^scattered thy ways to the 
 'strangers 'under every green tree, and ye 
 have not obeyed my voice, saith Jehovah. 
 
 14 Turn, O backsliding children, saith 
 Jehovah ; sfor I am "married to you : and 
 I will take you 'one of a city, and two of 
 a family, and I will bring you to Zion : 
 
 15 And I will give you * '"shepherds ac- 
 cording to my heart, who shall 'feed you 
 with knowledge and understanding. 
 
 16 And it shall come to pass, when ye 
 ,9 are multiplied and increased in the land, 
 in those days, saith Jehovah, they shall 
 say no more, The ark of the covenant of 
 Jehovah : 'neither shall it tcome to mind : 
 neither shall they remember it; neither 
 shall they visit it } neither shall \\that be 
 done any more.

 God calteth Israel by his promise. 
 
 17 At that time they shall call Jerusalem 
 the throne of Jehovah ) and all the nations 
 shall be gathered to it, "to the name of 
 Jehovah, to Jerusalem : neither shall they 
 "walk any more after the 20 stubbornness 
 of their evil heart. 
 
 18 In those days "the house of Judah shall 
 walk ||with the house of Israel, and they 
 shall come together 2, from the land of p the 
 north to 'the land which I have llgiven for 
 an inheritance to your fathers. 
 
 19 But I said, How shall I put thee among 
 the children, and give thee 'a tpleasant 
 land, ta goodly heritage of the hosts of na- 
 tions ? and I said, Thou shalt call me, 'My 
 father; and shalt not turn away tfrom ' fol- 
 lowing' me. 
 
 20 If Surely as a wife treacherously de- 
 parteth from her thusband, so 'have ye 
 dealt treacherously with me, O house of 
 Israel, saith Jehovah. 
 
 21 A voice 22 is heard on "the high places, 
 weeping and supplications of the children 
 of Israel: for they have perverted their 
 way, and they have forgotten Jehovah 
 their God. 
 
 22 Return, ye backsliding children, and 
 »I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we 
 come to thee ; for thou art Jehovah our 
 God. 
 
 23 z Truly in vain is salvation hoped for 
 from the hills, and from the multitude of 
 mountains : "truly in Jehovah our God is 
 the salvation of Israel. 
 
 24 'For shame hath devoured the labour 
 of our fathers from our youth ; their flocks 
 and their herds, their sons and their 
 daughters. 
 
 25 We lie down in our shame, and our 
 confusion covereth us: 'for we have sinned 
 against Jehovah our God, we and our fa- 
 thers, from our youth even to this day, 
 and d have not obeyed the voice of Jehovah 
 our God.

 1 God calleth Israel by his promise. 3 He exhorteth 
 Judah to repentance by fearful judgments. 19 .4 
 grievous lamentation for the miseries of Judah. 
 
 IF thou wilt return, O Israel, saith Jeho- 
 vah, "return to me: and if thou wilt 
 put away thine abominations out of my 
 sight, then shalt thou not 'wander. 
 
 2 'And thou shalt swear, ' As' Jehovah 
 liveth, c in truth, in justice, and in right- 
 eousness ; d and the nations shall bless them- 
 selves in him, and in him shall they "glory. 
 
 3 f For thus saith Jehovah to the men 
 of Judah and Jerusalem, 'Break up your 
 fallow ground, and ? sow not among thorns. 
 
 4 'Circumcise yourselves to Jehovah, and 
 take away the toreskins of your heart, ye 
 men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusa- 
 lem; lest my fury come forth like fire, and 
 burn ' so' that none can quench it, because 
 of the evil of your doings. 
 
 5 Declare ye in Judah, and publish in 
 Jerusalem ; and say, Blow ye the trumpet 
 in the land : cry, Gather together, and say, 
 Assemble yourselves, and let us go into 
 the "fortified cities. 
 
 6 Set up the standard towards Zion: ||re- 
 tire, stay not: for I will bring evil from the 
 "north, and a great tdestruction. 
 
 7 'The lion is come up from his thicket, 
 and "'the destroyer of the 4 nations is on his 
 way ; he "hath gone forth from his place "to 
 
The prophet bitterly lamenteth 
 
 make thy land desolate ; and thy cities shall 
 be laid waste, without an inhabitant. 
 
 8 For this "gird you with sackcloth, la- 
 ment and howl : for the fierce anger of Je- 
 hovah is not turned 6 away from us. 
 
 9 And it shall come to pass at that day, 
 saith Jehovah, that the 7 wisdom of the king 
 shall perish, and the "wisdom of the princes ; 
 and the priests shall be astonished, and the 
 prophets shall wonder. 
 
 10 Then said I, Ah, Lord Jehovah! 
 ''surely thou hast greatly deceived this peo- 
 ple and Jerusalem, 'saying, Ye shall nave 
 peace ; whereas the sword reacheth to the 
 soul. 
 
 11 At that time shall it be said to this 
 people and to Jerusalem, r A dry wind I0 from 
 the high places in the "desert towards the 
 daughter of my people, not to fan, nor to 
 cleanse, 
 
 12 Even ||a full wind from those places 
 shall come to me: now also 'will I tgive 
 sentence against them. 
 
 13 Behold, he shall come up 12 like clouds, 
 and 'his chariots shall be 13 like a whirlwind : 
 "his horses are swifter than eagles. Wo 
 to us ! for we are "laid waste. 
 
 14 O Jerusalem, *wash thy heart from 
 wickedness, that thou mayest be saved. 
 How long shall I5 thine evil thoughts lodge 
 within thee ? 
 
 15 For a voice declareth "from Dan, and 
 publisheth affliction from mount Ephraim. 
 
 16 Make ye mention to the nations ; be- 
 hold, publish against Jerusalem, that watch- 
 ers come *from a far country, and 16 utter 
 their voice against the cities of Judah. 
 
 17 0l7 Like Keepers of a field, are they 
 against her 18 around; because she hath 
 been rebellious against me, saith Jehovah. 
 
 18 Thy way and thy doings have pro 
 cured these things _ to thee ; this is thy 
 wickedness, 19 for it is bitter, 20 for it reach 
 eth to thy heart. 
 
 19 1f My c21 breast, my ^breast! I am pain 
 ed at tmy very heart ; my heart maketh a 
 noise in me ; I cannot hold my peace, be 
 cause thou hast heard, my soul, the sound 
 of the trumpet, the alarm of war. 
 
 20 destruction upon destruction is cried; 
 for the whole land is ^laid waste : sud 
 denly are 'my tents ^destroyed, and my 
 curtains in a moment. 
 
 21 How long shall I see the standard, 
 and hear the sound of the trumpet ? 
 
 22 For my people ^are foolish, they have 
 not known me ; they are 26 stupid children, 
 and they have no understanding : 'they 
 are wise to do evil, but to do good they 
 have no knowledge. 
 
 23 e l beheld the earth, and lo, it was 
 h "desolate, and 28 empty ; and the heavens, 
 and they had no light. 
 
 24 'I beheld the mountains, and lo, they 
 trembled, and all the hills 29 shook. 
 
 25 I beheld, and lo, there was no man, 
 and 'all the birds of the heavens were fled. 
 
 26 I beheld, and lo, the fruitful place was 
 a 30 desert, and all the cities thereof were 
 broken down 31 before the presence of Je- 
 hovah, 32 by his fierce anger. 
 
 27 For thus hath Jehovah said, The 
 whole land shall be desolate ; 'yet will I 
 not make a full end. 
 
 28 Therefore "shall the earth mourn, 
 and "the heavens above be black : because

 will despise thee, they will seek thy life. 
 
 31 For I have heard a voice as of a wo- 
 man in travail, and the anguish as of her 
 who bringeth forth her first child; the 
 voice of the daughter of Zion, who be- 
 waileth herself, who 'spreadeth her hands, 
 saying, Wo x to me now ! for my soul is 
 wearied because of murderers. 
 
 CHAPTER V. 
 
 1 The judgments of God upon the Jews, for their 
 perverseness, 7 for their adultery, 10 for their im- 
 piety, 19 for their contempt of God, 25 and for 
 their great corruption in the civil state, 30 and 
 ecclesiastical. 
 
 RUN ye to and fro through the streets 
 of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, 
 and seek in the broad places thereof, °if 
 ye can find a man, 'if there be any that 
 executeth 'justice, that seeketh the truth ; 
 'and I will pardon it. 
 
 2 And d though they say, 'As' 'Jehovah 
 liveth ; surely they ^swear falsely. 
 
 3 O Jehovah, are not *thine eyes on the 
 truth ? thou hast * 2 smitten them, but they 
 have not grieved; thou hast consumed 
 them, but 'they have refused to receive 
 correction : they have made their faces 
 harder than a rock ; they have refused to 
 return. 
 
 4 Therefore I said, Surely these are 'the' 
 poor ; they are foolish : for *they know not 
 the way of Jehovah, nor the judgment of 
 their God. 
 
 5 I will 3 go to the great men, and will 
 speak to them ; for 'they have known the 
 way of Jehovah, aw/ the judgment of their 
 God: but these have altogether m broken 
 the yoke, and burst the bands. 
 
 6 Wherefore "a lion out of the forest shall 
 slay them, "and a wolf of the Hevenings 
 shall spoil them, p a leopard shall watch 
 over their cities : every one who goeth out 
 thence shall be torn in pieces: because 
 their transgressions are many, and their 
 backslidings tare increased 
 
 7 If How shall I pardon thee for this ? 
 thy children have forsaken me, and 'sworn 
 by them "that are no gods : 'when I had 
 fed them to the full, they then committed 
 adultery, and assembled themselves by 
 troops in the harlots' houses. 
 
 8 'They were Hike fed horses in the morn- 
 ing: 5 each one "neighed after his neigh- 
 bour's wife. 
 
 9 *Shall I not visit for these things ? saith 
 Jehovah : "and shall 6 I not be avenged on 
 such a nation as this ? 
 
 10 f[ *Go ye up upon her walls, and de- 
 stroy ; "but make not a full end : take away 
 her 7 battlements ; for they are not Jeho- 
 vah's. 
 
 11 For 4 the house of Israel and the house 
 
 503 
 
God's judgments on the people. 
 
 of Judah have dealt very treacherously 
 against me, saith Jehovah. 
 
 12 c They have 8 lied concerning Jehovah, 
 and said, d Jt is not he ; neither 9 will evil 
 come upon us ; 'neither shall we see sword 
 or famine : 
 
 13 And the prophets shall become wind, 
 and the word is not in them : thus 10 may 
 it be done to them. 
 
 14 Wherefore thus saith Jehovah God of 
 hosts, Because ye speak this word, ^ behold, 
 I will make my words in thy mouth fire, 
 and this people wood, and it shall devour 
 them. 
 
 15 Lo, I will bring a ^nation upon you 
 *from afar, house of Israel, saith Jeho- 
 vah : it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient 
 nation, a nation whose language thou know- 
 est not, neither understandest what they 
 say. 
 
 16 Their quiver is "like an open sepul- 
 chre, they are all mighty men. 
 
 17 And they shall eat up thy 'harvest, 
 and thy bread, 12 they shall eat up thy sons 
 and thy daughters : they shall eat up thy 
 flocks and thy herds : they shall eat up thy 
 vines and thy fig-trees: they shall 13 de- 
 stroy thy "fortified cities, wherein thou 
 trustedst, with the sword. 
 
 18 Nevertheless, in those days, saith Je- 
 hovah, I *will not make a full end with 
 you. 
 
 19 "[f And it shall come to pass, when 
 15 they shall say, 'Wherefore doeth Jeho- 
 vah our God all these things to us ? then 
 shalt thou answer them, 16 As ye have ""for- 
 saken me, and served strange gods in your 
 land, so "shall ye serve strangers in a land 
 which is not yours. 
 
 20 Declare this in the house of Jacob, 
 and publish it in Judah, saying, 
 
 21 Hear now this, O "foolish people, and 
 without tunderstanding ; who have eyes, 
 and see not ; who have ears, and hear not : 
 
 22 p Fear ye not me ? saith Jehovah : will 
 ye not tremble at my presence, who have 
 placed the sand for the 'boundary of the 
 sea by a perpetual decree, ' so' that it can- 
 not pass it : and though the waves thereof 
 toss themselves, yet they cannot prevail; 
 though they roar, yet they cannot pass 
 over it ? 
 
 23 But this people hath a revolting and a 
 rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone. 
 
 24 Neither say they in their heart, Let 
 us now fear Jehovah our God, r who giveth 
 rain, both the 'former and the latter, in its 
 season : 'he reserveth to us the appointed 
 weeks of the harvest. 
 
 25 ^[ "Your iniquities have turned away 
 these things, and your sins have with- 
 holden good things from you. 
 
 26 For among my people are found wick- 
 ed men : ||they *lay wait, as he who setteth 
 snares ; they set a trap, they catch men. 
 
 27 As a llcage is full of birds, so are their 
 houses full of deceit : therefore they "have 
 become great, and I8 have become rich. 
 
 28 They l9 have become ^fat, they shine : 
 yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked : 
 they judge not 'the cause, the cause of the 
 fatherless, "yet they prosper ; and the right 
 of the needy do they not judge. 
 
 29 'Shall I not visit for these things ? saith 
 Jehovah : shall M I not be avenged on such 
 a nation as this ?

 Judah' 's enemies eager to fall on her 
 
 .30 «[f || 2 'An amazing and 'horrible thing 
 is committed in the land ; 
 31 The prophets prophesy d falsely, and 
 the priests ||bear rule by their means ; and 
 my people 'love to have it so : and what 
 will ye do in the end thereof? 
 
 CHAPTER VI. 
 
 1 The enemies sent against Judah 4 encourage them- 
 selves. 6 God setteth them on work because of 
 their sins. 9 The prophet lamenteth the judgments 
 of God because of their sins. 18 He proclaimeth 
 God's wrath. 26 He calleth the people to mourn 
 for the judgment on their sins. 
 
 r\ YE children of Benjamin, ' flee out 
 " of the midst of Jerusalem, and blow 
 the trumpet in Tekoa, and set up a sign 
 of fire in °Beth-haccerem : J for evil 2 look- 
 eth forth from the north, 3 even great de- 
 struction. 
 
 2 I "will destroy the daughter of Zion, 
 5 the comely and delicate woman. 
 
 3 The shepherds with their flocks shall 
 come to her ; 'they shall pitch their tents 
 against her round about; they shall feed 
 6 each one in his place. 
 
 4 ^Prepare ye war against her; arise, and 
 let us go up 'at noon. Wo to us ! for the day 
 goeth away, for the shadows of the evening 
 are stretched out. 
 
 5 Arise, and let us go by night, and let 
 us destroy her palaces. 
 
 6 If For thus hath Jehovah of hosts said , 
 Hew ye down trees, and ||cast a 7 mound 
 against Jerusalem : this is the city to be 
 visited ; she is wholly oppression in the 
 midst of her. 
 
 7 -A.S a fountain casteth out its waters, 
 so she casteth out her wickedness : f vio- 
 lence and Spoiling is heard in her; before 
 me continually s are bruises and wounds. 
 
 8 '"Receive correction, O Jerusalem, lest 
 ''my "desire tdepart from thee; lest I make 
 thee desolate, a land not inhabited. 
 
 9 H Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, They 
 shall thoroughly glean the remnant of Is- 
 rael as a vine: turn back thy hand as a 
 grape-gatherer into the baskets. 
 
 10 To whom shall I speak, and give warn- 
 ing, that they may hear ? Behold, their 'ear 
 is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: 
 behold, "the word of Jehovah is to them a 
 ,2 derision ; they have no delight in it. 
 
 11 Therefore I am full of the fury of 
 Jehovah; 'I am weary with holding in : I 
 will pour it out "upon the children abroad, 
 and upon the assembly of young men to- 
 gether : for even the husband with the wife 
 shall be taken, the aged with him who is 
 full of clays. 
 
 12 And "their houses shall be turned to 
 others, with their fields and wives together: 
 for I will stretch out my hand upon the 
 inhabitants of the land, saith Jehovah. 
 
 13 For from the least of them even to the 
 greatest of them every one is given to 
 ""unjust gain ; and from the prophet even 
 to the priest every one dealeth falsely. 
 
 14 They have p healed also the thurt ' 4 of 
 my people slightly, 'saying, Peace, peace ; 
 when there is no peace. 
 
 15 Were they 'ashamed when they had 
 committed abomination ? nay, they were 
 not at all ashamed, neither could they 
 blush ; therefore they shall fall among them 
 that fall : at the time ivhen I visit them 
 they shall be cast down, saith Jehovah.

 16 Thus saith Jehovah, Stand ye in the 
 ways, and see, and ask for the 'old paths, 
 where is the good way, and walk therein, 
 and ye shall find 'rest for your souls. But 
 they said, We will not walk therein. 
 
 17 Also I set "watchmen over you, say- 
 ing, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. 
 But they said, We will not hearken. 
 
 18 If Therefore hear, ye nations, and 
 know, O congregation, what is among them. 
 
 19 "Hear, O earth : Behold, I will bring 
 evil upon this people, even *the fruit of 
 their "devices, because they have not 
 hearkened to my words, nor to my law, 
 but rejected it. 
 
 20 x To what purpose cometh there to me 
 incense "from Sheba, and the sweet cane 
 from a far country ? 'your burnt-offerings 
 are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices 
 sweet to me. 
 
 21 Therefore thus saith Jehovah, Behold, 
 I will lay stumbling-blocks before this 
 people, and the fathers and the sons to- 
 
 f ether shall w stumble upon them ; the neigh - 
 our and his friend shall perish. 
 
 22 Thus saith Jehovah, Behold, a people 
 cometh from the 'north country, and a 
 great nation shall be raised from the sides 
 of the earth. 
 
 23 They shall lay hold on bow and spear; 
 they are cruel, and have no mercy ; their 
 voice 'roareth like the sea ; and they ride 
 upon horses, set in array "like men for 
 war against thee, O daughter of Zionu 
 
 24 We have heard the 18 report thereof: 
 our hands "become feeble: 'anguish hath 
 taken hold of us, and pain, as of a woman 
 in travail. 
 
 25 Go not forth into the field, nor walk 
 by the way ; for the sword of the enemy 
 and fear is on every side. 
 
 26 If O daughter of my people, ■''gird thy- 
 self with sackcloth, *and ""roll thyself in 
 ashes : *make thyself mourning, as for an 
 only son, most bitter lamentation : for the 
 spoiler H will suddenly come upon us. 
 
 27 I have set thee for M an assayer and *"a 
 fortress among my people, that thou may- 
 est know and try their way. 
 
 28 'They are all grievous revolters, 'walk- 
 ing with slanders : they are "brass and 
 iron ; they are all corrupters. 
 
 29 The bellows are burned, the lead is 
 consumed M by the fire ; the Refiner melteth 
 in vain : for the wicked are not plucked 
 away. 
 
 30 n || ^Rejected silver shall men call them, 
 because Jehovah hath rejected them. 
 
 CHAPTER VII. 
 
 1 Jeremiah is sent to call for true repentance, to pre- 
 vent the Jews' captivity. 8 He rejecteth their vain 
 confidence,^ by the example of Shiloh. 17 He threa- 
 tened them for their idolatry. 21 He rejecteth the 
 sacrifices of the disobedient. 29 He exhorteth to 
 mourn, for their abominations in Tophet, 32 and 
 the judgments for the same. 
 
 THE word which came to Jeremiah from 
 Jehovah, saying, 
 
 2 "Stand in the gate of Jehovah's house, 
 and proclaim there this word, and say, 
 Hear the word of Jehovah, all ye of Ju- 
 dah, that enter in at these gates to worship 
 Jehovah. 
 
 3 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God 
 of Israel, *'Amend your ways and your 
 doings, and I will cause you to dwell in 
 this place.

 The temple of Jehovah, The temple of

 5 For if ye thoroughly amend your ways

 justice between a man and his neighbour; 
 
 6 If ye oppress not the stranger, the fa- 
 therless, and the widow, and shed not in- 
 nocent blood in this place, 'neither walk 
 after other gods to your hurt ; 
 
 7 / Then will I cause you to dwell in this 
 place, in *the land which I gave to your 
 fathers, for ever and ever. 
 
 8 If Behold, *ye trust in 'lying words, 
 that cannot profit. 
 
 9 *Will ye steal, murder, and commit 
 adultery, and swear falsely, and burn in- 
 cense to Baal, and 'walk after other gods 
 whom ye know not ; 
 
 10 m And come and stand before me in this 
 house, fwhich is called by my name, and 
 say, We are preserved to do all these abo- 
 minations ? 
 
 11 4 Hath °this house, which is called by 
 my name, become a p den of robbers in 
 your 5 sight ? Behold, even I have seen it, 
 saith Jehovah. 
 
 12 But go ye now to «my place which was 
 in Shiloh, 'where I set my name at 6 first, 
 and see 'what I did to it for the wicked- 
 ness of my people Israel. 
 
 13 And now, because ye have done all 
 these works, saith Jehovah, and I spoke 
 to you, 'rising up early and speaking, but 
 ye heard not ; and I "called you, but ye 
 answered not ; 
 
 14 Therefore will I do to this house, 
 which is called by my name, wherein ye 
 trust, and to the place which I gave to you 
 and to your fathers, as I have done to 
 •Shiloh. 
 
 15 And I will cast you out 'from my pre- 
 sence, »as I have cast out all your breth- 
 ren, I even the whole seed of Ephraim. 
 
 16 Therefore "pray not thou for this peo- 
 ple, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, 
 neither make intercession to me : for I 
 will not hear thee. 
 
 17 If Seest thou not what they do in the 
 cities of Judah and in the streets of Jeru- 
 salem ? 
 
 18 'The children gather wood, and the 
 fathers kindle the fire, and the women 
 knead their dough, to make cakes 8 for the 
 llqueen of heaven, and to d pour out drink- 
 offerings to other gods, that they may pro- 
 voke me 9 . 
 
 19 'Do they provoke me 10 ? saith Jeho- 
 vah: do they not provoke themselves to 
 confusion of their own faces ? 
 
 20 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jeho- 
 vah ; Behold, mine anger and my fury 
 shall be poured out upon this place, upon 
 man, and upon beast, and upon the trees 
 of the field, and upon the fruit of the 
 ground ; and it shall burn, and shall not 
 be quenched. 
 
 21 ^f Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the 
 God of Israel ; /u Add your burnt-offer- 
 ings to your sacrifices, and eat flesh. 
 
 22 e For I spoke not to your fathers, nor 
 commanded them in the day 12 when I 
 brought them ,3 from the land of Egypt, 
 tconcerning burnt-offerings or sacrifices: 
 
 23 But this thing commanded I them, 
 
 505 
 
The abominations in Tophet. 
 
 saying, "Obey my voice, and 'I will be your 
 God, and ye shall be my people: and walk 
 ye in all the ways which I have command- 
 ed you, that it may be well "with you. 
 
 24 *But they hearkened not, nor inclined 
 their ear, but 'walked in the counsels and 
 in the ^stubbornness of their evil heart, 
 and t m went backward, and not forward. 
 
 25 16 From the day "when your fathers 
 came forth ls from the land of Egypt to this 
 day, I have even "sent to you all my ser- 
 vants the prophets, "daily rising up early 
 and sending them : 
 
 26 p Yet they hearkened not to me, nor 
 inclined their ear, but 'hardened their 
 neck : they did worse than their fathers. 
 
 27 Therefore 'thou 19 wilt speak all these 
 words to them ; but they will not hearken 
 to thee : thou w wilt also call to them ; but 
 they will not answer thee. 
 
 28 21 Therefore thou ^wilt say to them, 
 This is M the nation that obeyeth not the 
 voice of Jehovah their God, 'nor receiveth 
 llcorrection : "truth is perished, and is cut 
 off from their mouth. 
 
 29 If *Cut off thy hair, O Jerusalem, 
 and cast it away, and take up a lamenta- 
 tion on high places ; for Jehovah hath re- 
 jected and forsaken the generation of his 
 wrath. 
 
 30 For the children of Judah have done 
 evil in my sight, saith Jehovah : "they have 
 set their abominations in the house which 
 is called by my name, to pollute it. 
 
 31 And they have built the *high places 
 of Tophet, which is in the valley of the 
 son of Hinnom, to "burn their sons and 
 their daughters in the fire; 'which I com- 
 manded them not, neither tcame it into 
 my heart. 
 
 32 If Therefore, behold, 'the days come, 
 saith Jehovah, ^when it shall no more be 
 called Tophet, nor The valley of the son 
 of Hinnom, but The valley of Slaughter: 
 d for they shall bury in Tophet, till there 
 be no ^room. 
 
 33 And the 'carcasses of this people shall 
 be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and 
 for the beasts of the earth ; and none shall 
 2S frighten them away. 
 
 34 27 And will I cause to 'cease from the 
 cities of Judah, and from the streets of 
 Jerusalem, the voice of mirth, and the 
 voice of gladness, the voice of the bride- 
 groom, and the voice of the bride: for the 
 land shall be desolate. 
 
 CHAPTER VIII. 
 
 1 The calamity of the Jews, both dead and alive. 4 He 
 upbraideth their foolish and shameless impenitency. 
 13 He sheweth their grievous judgment, 18 and 
 bewaileth their desperate estate. 
 
 \ T that time, saith Jehovah, they shall 
 -E*- bring 'forth the bones of the kings of 
 Judah, and the bones of his princes, and 
 the bones of the priests, and the bones of 
 the prophets, and the bones of the inhabit- 
 ants of Jerusalem, 2 from their graves: 
 
 2 And they shall spread them before the 
 sun, and the moon, and all the host of 
 heaven, which they have loved, and which 
 they hive served, and after which they 
 have wall- :d, and which they have "con- 
 sulted, and "which they have worshipped : 
 they shall not be gathered, 'nor be buried; 
 they shall be for c4 manure on the face of

 The prophet upbraideth the Jews 
 
 3 And rf death shall be chosen rather than 
 life by all the residue of those who remain 
 of this evil family, who remain in all the 
 places whither I ' shall' have driven them, 
 saith Jehovah of hosts. 
 
 4 If Moreover, thou shalt say to them, 
 Thus saith Jehovah; Shall they i'all.and not 
 arise ? shall he turn away, and not return? 
 
 5 Why then 6 hath this people of Jerusa- 
 lem e slidden back by a perpetual backslid- 
 ing ? 'they hold fast deceit, they refuse to 
 return. 
 
 6 *I 6 listened and heard, but they spoke 
 not aright : no man repented him of his 
 wickedness, saying, What have I done ? 
 every one turned to his course, as the horse 
 rusheth into the battle. 
 
 7 7 Even 'the stork in the heaven knoweth 
 her appointed times ; and 'the turtle, and 
 the crane, and the swallow, observe the 
 time of their coming; but 'my people know 
 not the judgment of Jehovah. 
 
 8 How do ye say, We are wise, "and the 
 law of Jehovah is with us ? Lo, certainly 
 8 in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes 
 is in vain. 
 
 9 n ||The wise men are ashamed, they are 
 dismayed and taken : lo, they have reject- 
 ed the word of Jehovah; and twhat wis- 
 dom is in them ? 
 
 10 Therefore "will I give their wives to 
 others, and their fields to those who shall 
 inherit them : for every one from the least 
 even to the greatest is given to p9 unjust 
 gain, from the prophet even to the priest 
 every one dealeth falsely. 
 
 11 For they have 'healed the hurt of the 
 daughter of my people slightly, saying, 
 r Peace, peace ; when there is no peace. 
 
 12 Were they 'ashamed when they had 
 committed abomination ? nay, they were 
 not at all ashamed, neither could they 
 blush : therefore shall they fall among those 
 who fall : in the time of their visitation 
 they shall be cast down, saith Jehovah. 
 
 13 f ||I will '"utterly consume them, saith 
 Jehovah : there shall be no grapes 'on the 
 vine, nor figs on the "fig-tree, and the leaf 
 shall fade ; and the things which I have 
 given then) shall pass away from them. 
 
 14 Why do we sit still ? "assemble your- 
 selves, and let us enter into the "fortified 
 cities, and let us be silent there : for Je- 
 hovah our God hath put us to silence, and 
 given us "water of 12 poppies to drink, be- 
 cause we have sinned against Jehovah. 
 
 15 We z looked for peace, but no good 
 came; and for a time of health, and be- 
 hold, trouble ! 
 
 16 The snorting of his horses was heard 
 from "Dan; the whole land trembled at 
 the sound of the neighing of his 'strong 
 ones: for they are come, and have de- 
 voured the land, and tall that is in it; the 
 city, and those that dwell therein. 
 
 17 For behold, I will send serpents, "vi- 
 pers, among you, which u can not be tharm- 
 ed, and they shall bite you, saith Jehovah. 
 
 18 *[f When I would comfort myself 
 against sorrow, my heart is faint tin me. 
 
 19 Behold the voice of the cry of the 
 daughter of my people, t 15 from the country 
 of those who are far off: Is not Jehovah 
 in Zion ? is not her King in her ? Why 
 have they 'provoked me I6 with their graven 
 images, and with strange vanities ? 
 
The prophet bewaileth the sins 
 
 20 The harvest is past, the summer is 
 ended, and we are not saved. 
 
 21 'For the hurt of the daughter of my 
 people am I hurt ; I "am *black ; astonish- 
 ment hath "seized me. 
 
 22 Is there no "balm in Gilead ; is there no 
 physician there? why then is not the health 
 of the daughter of my people t ,9 restored? 
 
 CHAPTER IX. 
 
 1 Jeremiah lamenteth the Jews for their manifold 
 sins, 9 and for their judgment. 12 Disobedience 
 is the cause of their bitter calamity. 17 He ex- 
 horteth to mourn for their destruction, 23 and to 
 trust not in themselves, but in God. 25 He threat- 
 ened both Jews and Gentiles. 
 
 OH t°that my head were waters, and 
 mine eyes a fountain of tears, that I 
 might weep day and night for the slain of 
 the daughter or my people ! 
 
 2 Oh that I had in the 'desert a lodging- 
 
 {ilace of way -faring men ; that I might 
 eave my people, and go from them ! for 
 *they 2 are all adulterers, an assembly of 
 treacherous men. 
 
 3 And 'they bend their tongues like their 
 bow for lies : but they are not valiant for 
 the truth on the earth; for they proceed 
 from evil to evil, and they d3 know not me, 
 saith Jehovah. 
 
 4 'Take ye heed every one of his Hneigh- 
 bour, and trust ye not in any brother : for 
 every brother will utterly supplant, and 
 every neighbour will 'walk with slanders. 
 
 5 And they will ||deceive everyone his 
 neighbour, and will not speak the truth: 
 they have taught their tongue to speak lies, 
 and weary themselves to commit iniquity. 
 
 6 Thy habitation is in the midst of de- 
 ceit ; through deceit they refuse to know 
 me, saith Jehovah. 
 
 7 Therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts, 
 Behold, e l will melt them, and try them ; 
 *for 4 what can I do for the daughter of my 
 people ? 
 
 8 Their tongue is Hike a deadly arrow ; it 
 speaketh 'deceit: one speaketh 'peaceably 
 to his neighbour with nis mouth, but tin 
 heart he layeth ||his 8 ambush. 
 
 9 If 'Shall I not visit them for these 
 things? saith Jehovah: shall 7 I not be 
 avenged on such a nation as this ? 
 
 10 For the mountains will I take up a 
 weeping and wailing, and m for the ||habita 
 tions of the R pasture grounds a lamenta 
 tion, because they are ||burned up, so that 
 none can pass through them ; neither can 
 men hear the voice of the cattle : t n both 
 the fowls of the heavens and the beasts are 
 fled; they are gone. 
 
 11 And I will make Jerusalem "heaps, 
 and ''a den of "jackals; and I will maice 
 the cities of Judah tdesolate, without an 
 inhabitant. 
 
 12 If 'Who is the wise man, that may 
 understand this ? and ivho is he to whom 
 the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken, that 
 he may declare it, for what the land perish- 
 eth and is burned up like a '"desert, which 
 none passeth through ? 
 
 13 And Jehovah saith, Because they 
 have forsaken my law which I set before 
 them, and have not obeyed my voice, nei 
 ther walked therein ; 
 
 14 But have 'walked after the "stubborn 
 ness of their own heart, and after Baalim, 
 'which their fathers taught them :

 15 Therefore thus saith Jehovah ot hosts, 
 the God of Israel ; Behold, I will 'feed 
 them, even this people, "with wormwood, 
 and give them water of "poppies to drink. 
 
 16 I will ^scatter them also among the 
 heathen, whom neither they nor their fa- 
 thers have known: "and I will send 13 the 
 sword after them, till I ' shall' have con- 
 sumed them. 
 
 17 If Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, Con- 
 sider ye, and call for r the mourning wo- 
 men, that they may come ; and send for 
 "skilful women, that they may come : 
 
 18 And let them make haste, and take 
 up a wailing for us, that "our eyes may 
 run down with tears, and our eyelids gush 
 out with waters. 
 
 19 For a voice of wailing is heard out of 
 Zion, How are we spoiled ! we are greatly 
 l6 ashamed, because we have forsaken the 
 land, because 'our dwellings have cast 
 us out. 
 
 20 Yet hear the word of Jehovah, O ye 
 women, and let your ear receive the word 
 of his mouth, and teach your daughters 
 wailing, and 16 each one her neighbour la- 
 mentation. 
 
 21 For death is come up "through our 
 windows, and is entered into our palaces, 
 to cut off 'the children from without, and 
 the young men from the streets. 
 
 22 Speak, Thus saith Jehovah, Even the 
 carcasses of men shall fall dl8 like manure 
 on the open field, and ,9 like the handful 
 after the harvest-man, and none shall ga- 
 ther them. 
 
 23 ^f Thus saith Jehovah, 'Let not the 
 wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let 
 the mighty man glory in his might, let not 
 the rich man glory in his riches : 
 
 24 But 'let Trim who glorieth, glory in 
 this, that he understandeth and knoweth 
 me, that I am Jehovah who exercise ^kind- 
 ness, "justice, and righteousness, in the 
 earth : *for in these things I delight, saith 
 Jehovah. 
 
 25 If Behold, the days come, saith Jeho- 
 vah, that *I will tpunish all B 'the' circum- 
 cised with the uncircumcised; 
 
 26 Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the 
 children of Ammon, and Moab, and all 
 ^with shaven *cheeks, that dwell in the 
 M desert: for all these nations are uncir- 
 cumcised, and all the house of Israel are 
 'uncircumcised in the heart. 
 
 CHAPTER X. 
 
 1 The unequal comparison of God and idols. 17 
 The prophet exhorteth to flee from the calamity to 
 come. 19 He lamenteth the spoil of the tabernacle 
 by foolish pastors. 23 He maketh an humble sup- 
 plication. 
 
 HEAR ye the word which Jehovah 
 speaketh to you, O house of Israel : 
 
 2 Thus saith Jehovah, "Learn not the 
 way of the heathen, and be not dismayed 
 at the signs of heaven 'because the heathen 
 are dismayed at them. 
 
 3 For the tcustoms of the people are vain : 
 for b one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the 
 work of the hands of the workman, with 
 the axe. 
 
 4 They deck it with silver and with gold ; 
 they 'fasten it with nails and with hammers, 
 that it 2 totter not. 
 
 5 They are 3 rounded like a pillar, ''but 
 speak not: they must "surely be 'borne, 
 
 507 
 
The great disparity between God and idols. JEREMIAH. 
 
 because they cannot go. Be not afraid of 
 thein; for 'they cannot do evil, neither s is 
 it in them to do good. 
 
 6 6 There is 7 no one e like to thee, Jeho- 
 vah ; thou art great, and thy name is great 
 in might. 
 
 7 A Who would not fear thee, O King of 
 nations ? for ||to thee doth it "belong : ^be- 
 cause 'among all the wise men of the na- 
 tions, and in all their kingdoms, there is 
 ,0 no one like to thee. 
 
 8 But they are taltogether * "stupid and 
 foolish : 12 an instruction of vanity, it is a 
 block. 
 
 9 Silver spread into plates is brought from 
 Tarshish, and 'gold from Uphaz, the work 
 of the workman, and of the hands of the 
 founder : blue and purple is their clothing : 
 they are all "the work of "skilful men. 
 
 10 But Jehovah is the ttrue God, he is 
 "the living God, and an t 'everlasting King: 
 at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and 
 the nations shall not be able to abide his 
 indignation. 
 
 11 tThus shall ye say to them, "The gods 
 that have not made the heavens and the 
 earth, even 'they shall perish from the earth, 
 and from under these heavens. 
 
 12 He 'hath made the earth by his power, 
 he hath 'established the world by his wis- 
 dom, and "hath stretched out the heavens 
 by his "understanding. 
 
 13 *When he uttereth his voice, there is 
 15 an abundance of water in the heavens, 
 and "he causeth the vapours to ascend from 
 the ends of the earth ; he maketh lightnings 
 ,6 for the rain, and bringeth forth the wind 
 out of his treasures. 
 
 14 2 Every man ||is ""stupid in his know- 
 ledge : 'every founder is '*put to shame by 
 the graven image : "for his molten "work 
 is falsehood, and there is no breath in 
 them. 
 
 15 They are vanity, and the work of er- 
 rors : in the time of their visitation d they 
 shall perish. 
 
 16 'The portion of Jacob is not like them : 
 for he is the former of all things; and 
 'Israel is the 20 sceptre of his inheritance : 
 ^Jehovah of hosts is his name. 
 
 17 f ^Gather up thy 2I goods out of the 
 land, tinhabitant of the fortress. 
 
 18 For thus saith Jehovah; Behold, I 
 will 'sling out the inhabitants of the land 
 at this 22 time, and will distress them that 
 they may find it so. 
 
 19 |ff 'Wo 23 to me for my hurt! my wound 
 is grievous : but I said, "Truly this is 24 an 
 affliction, and "I must bear it. 
 
 20 °My M tent is 26 destroyed, and all my 
 cords are broken : my children are gone 
 forth '"from me, and they are ^no more 
 there is 29 no one to stretch forth my tent 
 any more, and to set up my curtains. 
 
 21 For the '"shepherds have become ^stu- 
 pid, and have not sought Jehovah : there 
 fore they shall not prosper, and all their 
 flocks shall be scattered. 
 
 22 Behold, the noise of the ^report hath 
 come, and a great commotion M from the 
 "north country, to make the cities of Judah 
 desolate, and a «den of 34 jackals. 
 
 23 f O Jehovah, I know that the 'way 
 of man is not in himself: it is not in man 
 who walketh to ^establish his steps.

 CHAPTER XL 
 
 1 Jeremiah proclaimeth God's covenant, 8 rebuketh 
 the Jews' disobeying thereof, 1 1 prophesieth evils 
 to come upon them, 18 and vpon the men of Ana- 
 thoth,for conspiring to kill Jeremiah. 
 
 THE word which came to Jeremiah from 
 Jehovah, saying, 
 
 2 Hear ye the words of this covenant, 
 and speak to the men of Judah, and to the 
 inhabitants of Jerusalem ; 
 
 3 And say thou to them, Thus saith Je- 
 hovah God of Israel ; "Cursed be the man 
 that obeyeth not the words of this covenant, 
 
 4 Which I commanded your fathers in 
 the day l when I brought them forth 2 from 
 the land of Egypt, 'from the iron furnace, 
 saying, 'Obey my voice, and do them, ac- 
 cording to all which I command you : so 
 shall ye be my people, and I will be your 
 God : 
 
 5 That I may perform the 'oath which I 
 have sworn to your fathers, to give them a 
 land flowing with milk and honey, as it is 
 this day. Then answered I, and said, tSo 
 be it, Jehovah. 
 
 6 Then Jehovah said to me, Proclaim 
 all these words in the cities of Judah, and 
 in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear ye 
 the words of this covenant, 'and do them. 
 
 7 For I earnestly 3 admonished your fa- 
 thers in the day *when I brought them up 
 5 from the land of Egypt, even to this day, 
 Aising early and 6 admonishing, saying, 
 Obey my voice. 
 
 8 s Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their 
 ear, but *walked every one in the 7 stub- 
 bornness of their evil heart: therefore I 
 will bring upon them all the words of this 
 covenant, which I commanded them to do ; 
 but they did them not. 
 
 9 And Jehovah said to me, 'A conspiracy 
 is found among the men of Judah, and 
 among the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 
 
 10 They are turned back to 'the iniquities 
 of their forefathers, who refused to hear 
 my words ; and they went after other gods 
 to serve them : the house of Israel and the 
 house of Judah have broken my covenant 
 which I made with their fathers. 
 
 11 If Therefore thus saith Jehovah, Be- 
 hold I will bring s a calamity on them which 
 they shall not be able tto escape; and 
 'though they 9 should cry to me, I will not 
 hearken to them. 
 
 12 Then w may the cities of Judah and in- 
 habitants of Jerusalem go, and '"cry to the 
 gods to whom they offer incense : but they 
 shall not save them at all in the time of 
 their "calamity. 
 
 13 For according to the number of thy 
 "cities 12 are thy gods, O Judah; and accord- 
 ing to the number of the streets of Jerusa- 
 lem have ye set up altars to that tshameful 
 thing, even altars to burn incense to Baal. 
 
 14 Therefore "pray not thou for this people, 
 neither lift up a cry or prayer for them : 
 for I will not hear them in the time "when 
 they cry to me 14 on account of their calamity. 
 
Jeremiah prayeth against the wicked. CHAPTERS XII. XIII. 
 
 God's heritage forsaken of him. 
 
 15 p tWhat hath my beloved to do in my 
 house, seeing she hath 'wrought lewdness 
 with many ; and "the holy flesh is passed 
 from thee ? || when thou doest evil, then 
 thou 'rejoicest. 
 
 16 Jehovah called thy name, 'A green 
 olive-tree, fair, and of goodly fruit : with 
 the noise of a great 15 sound he hath kin- 
 dled fire upon it, and the branches of it are 
 broken. 
 
 17 For Jehovah of hosts, "who planted 
 thee, hath pronounced evil against thee, for 
 the evil ot the house of Israel and of the 
 house of Judah, which they have done 
 against themselves to provoke me l6 by offer- 
 ing incense to Baal. 
 
 18 f And Jehovah hath given me know- 
 ledge of it, and I know it: then thou 
 shewedst me their doings. 
 
 19 But I was like a ' tamed' lamb " that 
 is 18 led to the slaughter ; and I knew not 
 that z they had devised devices against me, 
 saying, Let us destroy tthe tree with the 
 fruit thereof, "and let us cut him off from 
 *the land of the living, that his name may 
 be no more remembered. 
 
 20 But, O Jehovah of hosts, who judgest 
 righteously, who "triest the reins and the 
 heart, 19 I shall see thy vengeance on them : 
 for to thee have I revealed my cause. 
 
 21 Therefore thus saith Jehovah '"against 
 the men of Anathoth, *who seek thy life, 
 saying, 'Prophesy not in the name of Jeho- 
 vah, that thou die not by our hand : 
 
 22 Therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts, 
 Behold, I will t punish them: the young 
 men shall die by the sword ; their sons and 
 their daughters shall die by famine : 
 
 23 And there shall be no remnant of them : 
 for I will bring evil upon the men of Ana- 
 thoth, even ^the year of their visitation. 
 
 CHAPTER XII. 
 
 1 Jeremiah, complaining of the wicked's prosperity, 
 by faith seeth their ruin. 5 God admonisheth him 
 of his brethren's treachery against him, 7 and la- 
 menteth his heritage. 14 He promiseth to the peni- 
 tent return from captivity. 
 
 RIGHTEOUS "art thou, O Jehovah, 
 when I plead with thee : yet || let me 
 talk with thee 'concerning thy judgments : 
 *Wherefore doth the way of the wicked 
 prosper ? wherefore are all 2 those at ease 
 who deal very treacherously ? 
 
 2 Thou hast planted them, yea, they have 
 taken root: tthey grow, yea, they bring 
 forth fruit : c thou art near in their mouth, 
 and far from their s minds. 
 
 3 But thou, Jehovah, d knowest me : 
 thou hast seen me, and 'tried my heart tto- 
 wards thee : pull them out like sheep for 
 the slaughter, and "set them apart for ■'"the 
 day of slaughter. 
 
 4 How long shall ff the land mourn, and 
 the 5 grass of every field wither, "for the 
 wickedness of those who dwell therein r 
 £ the beasts are consumed, and the birds; 
 because they said, He 6 will not see our last 
 end. 
 
 5 If If thou hast run with the footmen, 
 and they have wearied thee, then how canst 
 thou contend with horses ? and if in the 
 land of peace, wherein thou 7 art secure, 
 they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in 
 "the swelling of Jordan ?

 of thy father, even they have dealt trea-

 8 My heritage w hath become to me "like 
 a lion in the forest ; it || tcrieth out against

 10 Many ° "shepherds have destroyed 'my

 11 They have made it desolate, and being 
 desolate r it mourneth to me ; the whole land 
 is made desolate, because 'no man layeth 
 it to heart. 
 
 12 The spoilers are come upon all high

 thorns : they have put themselves to pain, 
 but shall not profit; and || they shall be

 evil neighbours, that "touch the inheritance 
 which I have caused my people Israel to 
 inherit ; Behold, I will 'pluck them out of 
 their land, and pluck out the house of Ju- 
 dah from among them. 
 
 15 s'And it shall come to pass, after that I 
 have plucked them out I will return, and 
 have compassion on them, 'and will bring 
 them 18 back, every man to his heritage, and 
 every man to his land. 
 
 16 And it shall come to pass, if they will 
 diligently learn the ways of my people, °to 
 swear by my name, * As' Jehovah liveth ; 
 as they taught my people to swear by Baal ; 
 then shall they be 'built ' up' in the midst 
 of my people. 
 
 17 But if they will not c obey, I will ut- 
 terly pluck up and destroy that nation, saith 
 Jehovah. 
 
 CHAPTER XIII. 
 
 1 In the type of a linen girdle, hidden at Euphrates, 
 God prefigureth the destruction of his people. 12 
 Under the parable of the bottles filled with wine he ' 
 foretelleth their drunkenness in misery. 15 He ex- 
 horteth to prevent their future judgments. 22 He 
 sheweth their abominations are the cause thereof. 
 
 THUS 'said Jehovah to me, Go and get 
 thyself a linen girdle, and put it upon 
 thy loins, and nut it not in water. 
 
 2 So I got a girdle according to the word 
 of Jehovah, and put it on my loins. 
 
 3 And the word of Jehovah came to me 
 the second time, saying, 
 
 4 Take the girdle that thou hast gotten, 
 which is on thy loins, and arise, go to ' the' 
 Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole in 
 the rock. 
 
 5 So I went, and hid it by * the' Euphrates, 
 as Jehovah ' had' commanded me. 
 
 6 And it came to pass after many days, 
 that Jehovah said to me, Arise, go to ' the' 
 Euphrates, and take the girdle from thence, 
 which 1 commanded thpe to hide there. 
 
 509 
 
JudaK's destruction typijied. 
 
 7 Then I went to ' the' Euphrates, and 
 digged, and took the girdle from the place 
 where I had hidden it: and behold, the 
 girdle was 2 ruined, ' so that' it was 3 good 
 For nothing. 
 
 8 Then the word of Jehovah came to me, 
 saying, 
 
 9 Thus saith the Lord, After this manner 
 "will I *ruin the pride of Judah, and the 
 great pride of Jerusalem. 
 
 10 This evil people, who refuse to hear 
 my words, who Valk in the ^stubbornness 
 of their heart, and walk after other gods, 
 to serve them, and to worship them, shall 
 even be 6 like this girdle, which is good for 
 nothing. 
 
 11 For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins 
 of a man, so 'had I caused to cleave to me 
 the whole house of Israel and the whole 
 house of Judah, saith Jehovah ; that 'they 
 might be to me for a people, and 'for a 
 name, and for a praise, and for a glory : 
 but they would not hear. 
 
 12 If Therefore thou shalt speak to 
 them this word ; Thus saith Jehovah God 
 of Israel, Every bottle shall be filled with 
 wine : and they shall say to thee, Do we 
 not certainly know that every bottle shall 
 be filled with wine ? 
 
 13 Then shalt thou say to them, Thus 
 saith Jehovah, Behold, I will fill all the 
 inhabitants of this land, even the kings 
 who sit on David's throne, and the priests, 
 and the prophets, and all the inhabitants 
 of Jerusalem, 'with drunkenness. 
 
 14 And -^1 will dash them tone against 
 another, even the fathers and the sons to- 
 gether, saith Jehovah : I will not pity, nor 
 spare, nor have mercy, t 8 so as not to de- 
 stroy them. 
 
 15 If Hear ye, and give ear; be not proud : 
 for Jehovah hath spoken. 
 
 16 s Give glory to Jehovah your God, be- 
 fore he cause "darkness, and before your 
 feet stumble on the dark mountains, and 
 while ye 'look for light, he turn it into 'the 
 shadow of death, and make it 9 deep dark- 
 ness. 
 
 17 But if ye will not hear it, W I will weep 
 in secret places for your pride ; and 'mine 
 eye shall weep "bitterly, and run down 
 with tears, because Jehovah's flock is car- 
 ried away captive. 
 
 18 Say to m the king and to the queen, 
 Humble yourselves, sit down : for, l2 from 
 your heads, your beautiful crowns shall 
 come down. 
 
 19 The cities of the south shall be shut 
 up, and none shall open them: Judah shall 
 be carried away captive all of it, it shall 
 be wholly carried away captive. 
 
 20 Lift up your eyes, and behold those 
 "who come from the north : where is the 
 flock which was given thee, thy beautiful 
 flock? 
 
 21 What wilt thou say when he shall 
 tpunish thee ? for thou hast taught them to 
 be captains, and as chief over thee : shall not 
 "sorrows take thee, as a woman in travail ? 
 
 22 If And if thou say in thy heart, y Where- 
 fore come these things upon me ? For the 
 greatness of thine iniquity are 'thy skirts 
 "uncovered, and thy heels ||made bare. 
 
 23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or 
 the leopard his spots ? then may ye also do 
 good, who are taccustomed to do evil.

 24 Therefore will I scatter them rf4 Iike

 of the I5 desert. 
 
 25 'This is thy lot, the portion "measured 
 for thee by me, saith Jehovah ; because 
 thou hast forgotten me, and trusted in 
 'falsehood. 
 
 26 Therefore "will I "uncover thy skirts 
 upon thy face, that thy shame may appear. 
 
 27 I have seen thine adulteries, and thy 
 "neighings, the lewdness of re thine incon- 
 tinence, and thine abominations »on the 
 hills in the fields. Wo to thee, O Jerusa- 
 lem ! wilt thou not be made clean ? twhen

 CHAPTER XIV. 
 
 I The grievous famine 7 causeth Jeremiah to pray* 
 W The Lord will not oe entreated for the people. 
 13 Lying prophets are no excuse for them. 17 Je- 
 remiah is moved to complain for them. 
 
 THE word of Jehovah which came to 
 Jeremiah concerning tthe "drought. 
 
 2 Judah mourneth, and "the gates thereof 
 languish; they are t2 in mourning on the 
 ground ; and 'the cry of Jerusalem s hath 
 gone up. 
 
 3 And their nobles have sent their little 
 ones *for water : they came to the 6 cisterns, 
 and found no water; they returned with 
 their vessels empty ; they were ''ashamed 
 and confounded, 'and covered their heads. 
 
 4 Because the ground is chapt, for there 
 was no rain in the earth, the ploughmen 
 were ashamed, they covered their heads. 
 
 5 Yea, the hind also calved in the field, 
 and forsook it, because there was no grass. 
 
 6 And 'the wild asses did stand in the 
 high places, they snuffed up the wind like 
 6 jackals ; their eyes did fail, because there 
 was no grass. 
 
 7 If O Jehovah, though our iniquities 
 testify against us, do thou it s for thy name's 
 sake : for our ^transgressions are many ; 
 we have sinned against thee. 
 
 8 *0 the hope of Israel, the Saviour there- 
 of in time of trouble, why shouldest thou 
 be 8 like a stranger in the land, and 9 like a 
 wayfaring man m who spread eth his tent to 
 tarry for a night ? 
 
 9 Why shouldest thou be "like a man 
 i2 amazed, like a mighty man 'who cannot 
 save ? yet thou, O Jehovah, *art in the 
 midst of us, and twe are called by thy 
 name; leave us not. 
 
 10 f Thus saith Jehovah "concerning 
 this people, 'Thus have they loved to 
 wander, they have not refrained their feet, 
 therefore Jehovah doth not accept them ; 
 m he will now remember their iniquity, and 
 visit their sins. 
 
 11 Then said Jehovah to me, "Pray not 
 for this people for their good. 
 
 12 "When they fast, I will not hear their 
 cry; and 'when they offer burnt-offering 
 and "meal -offering, I will not accept them ; 
 but *I will consume them by the sword, 
 and by the famine, and by the pestilence. 
 
 13 If 'Then said I, "Alas, O Lord Jeho- 
 vah! behold, the prophets say to them, 
 Ye shall not see the sword, neither shall 
 ye have famine; but I will give you tas- 
 sured peace in this place. 
 
 14 Then Jehovah said to me, 'The pro- 
 phets prophesy lies in my name : 'I sent 
 them not, neither have I commanded them, 
 neither spoke to them : they prophesy to 
 
The rejection of the Jews. 
 
 you a false vision and divination, and "va- 
 nity, and the deceit of their heart. 
 
 15 Therefore thus saith Jehovah con- 
 cerning the prophets who prophesy in my 
 name, and I sent them not, "yet they say, 
 Sword and famine shall not be in this 
 land; By sword and famine shall those 
 prophets be consumed. 
 
 16 And the people to whom they prophesy 
 shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusa- 
 lem, because of the famine, and the sword; 
 'and they shall have none to bury them, 
 they, their wives, nor their sons, nor their 
 daughters : for I will pour their wicked- 
 ness upon them. 
 
 17 f Therefore thou shalt say this word 
 to them ; »Let mine eyes run down with 
 tears night and day, and let them not 
 cease: tor the virgin daughter of my peo- 
 ple is broken with a great breach, with a 
 very grievous blow. 
 
 18 If I go forth into •the field, then behold 
 the slain with the sword ! and if I enter 
 into the city, then behold those who "pine 
 with famine! yea, both the prophet and 
 the priest ||go about into a land that they 
 know not. 
 
 19 'Hast thou utterly rejected Judah? 
 ,8 hast thou loathed Zion ? Why hast thou 
 smitten us, and 'there is no healing for us ? 
 d we looked for peace, and there is no good ; 
 and for the time of healing, and behold 
 ,9 terror ! 
 
 20 We acknowledge, O Jehovah, our 
 wickedness, and the iniquity of our fa- 
 thers : for "we have sinned against thee. 
 
 21 Do not 20 despise us ; for thy name's 
 sake, do not disgrace the throne of thy 
 glory : ^remember, break not thy covenant 
 with us. 
 
 22 s Are there any among ''the 21 idols of 
 the Gentiles that can cause rain ? or can 
 the heavens give showers ? 'Jlrt not thou 
 he, O Jehovah our God? therefore we 
 will wait 22 for thee : for thou hast made all 
 these things. 
 
 CHAPTER XV. 
 
 1 The utter rejection and manifold judgments of the 
 Jews. 10 Jeremiah, complaining of their spite, 
 receiveth a promise for himself, 12 and a threaten- 
 ing for them. 15 He prayeth, 19 and receiveth a 
 gracious promise. 
 
 rpHEN said Jehovah to me, °Though 
 J- 'Moses and 'Samuel stood before me, 
 yet my mind could not be towards this 
 people : cast them out of my sight, and let 
 them go forth. 
 
 2 And it shall come to pass, if they say 
 to thee, Whither shall we go forth ? then 
 thou shalt tell them, Thus saith Jehovah ; 
 d Such as are for 'pestilence, to 2 pestilence ; 
 and such as are for the sword, to the 
 sword ; and such as are for the famine, to 
 the famine ; and such as are for the capti- 
 vity, to the captivity. 
 
 3 And I will 'appoint over them four 
 tkinds, saith Jehovah: the sword to slay, 
 and the dogs to 3 drag about, and 'the fowls 
 of the heaven, and the beasts of the earth, 
 to devour and destroy. 
 
 _ 4 And tl will cause them to be ^removed 
 into all kingdoms of the earth, because 
 of "Manasseh the son of Hezekiah king 
 of Judah, for that which he did in Jeru- 
 salem. 
 5 For 'who 4 will have pity on thee,

 she hath ''expired ; p her sun "hath gone

 hast borne me a man of strife and a man 
 of contention to the whole ,6 land ! I have 
 neither lent on "interest, nor ,8 have men 
 borrowed of me on interest ; yet every one 
 of them doth curse me.

 enemy to entreat thee 21 in the time of evil 
 and in the time of affliction. 
 
 12 ^Who can break iron, northern iron

The utter ruin of the Jews for eshewn. 
 CHAPTER XVI. 
 
 1 The prophet, under the types of abstaining from 
 marriage, from houses of mourning and feasting, 
 foresheweth the utter ruin of the Jews, 10 because 
 they were worse than their fathers. 14 Their re- 
 turn from captivity shall be stranger than their 
 deliverance out of Egypt. 16 God will doubly re- 
 compense their idolatry. 
 THE word of Jehovah came also to 
 me, saying, 
 
 2 Thou shalt not take thyself a wife, nei- 
 ther shalt thou have sons nor daughters in 
 this place. 
 
 3 For thus saith Jehovah concerning the 
 sons and concerning the daughters who 
 are born in this place, and concerning their 
 mothers who bore them, and concerning 
 their fathers who begot them in this land : 
 
 4 They shall die 'by "deadly diseases ; 
 they shall not be 'lamented ; neither shall 
 they be buried; but they shall be ' 2 like 
 manure on the face of the earth : and they 
 shall be consumed by the sword, and by 
 famine ; and their ^carcasses shall be meat 
 for the fowls of heaven, and for the beasts 
 of the earth. 
 
 5 For thus saith Jehovah, 'Enter not 3 the 
 house of Hmourning, neither go to lament 
 nor 4 condole with them : for I have taken 
 away my peace from this people, saith Je- 
 hovah, even 5 kindness and mercies. 
 
 5 Both the great and the small shall die 
 in this land : they shall not be buried, 
 ^ neither shall men lament for them, nor 
 ? cut themselves, nor "make themselves bald 
 for them : 
 
 7 Neither shall men 6 break bread for 
 them in mourning, to comfort them for the 
 dead ; neither shall men give them the cup 
 of consolation to 'drink for their father or 
 for their mother. 
 
 8 'Neither shalt thou go into the house of 
 feasting, to sit with tnem to eat and to 
 drink. 
 
 9 For thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the 
 God of Israel ; Behold, *I will cause to 
 cease 8 from this place in your 9 sight, and 
 in your days, the voice of I0 joy, and the 
 voice of gladness, the voice of the bride- 
 groom, and the voice of the bride. 
 
 10 If And it shall come to pass, when 
 thou shalt "have declared to this people all 
 these words, and they shall say to thee, 
 'Wherefore hath Jehovah pronounced all 
 this great evil against us ? or what is our 
 iniquity ? or what is our sin which we have 
 committed against Jehovah our God ? 
 
 11 Then shalt thou say to them, ""Because 
 your fathers have forsaken me, saith Jeho- 
 vah, and have walked after other gods, and 
 have served them, and have worshipped 
 them, and have forsaken me, and have not 
 kept my law ; 
 
 12 And ye have done "worse than your 
 fathers; for, behold, "ye walk every one 
 after the ^stubbornness of his evil heart, 
 that they may not hearken to me : 
 
 13 ''Therefore will I cast you out of this 
 land 'into a land that ye know not, neither 
 ye nor your fathers; and there "will ye 
 serve other gods day and night ; where I 
 will not shew you favour. 
 
 14 ^ "For behold, the 'days come, saith 
 Jehovah, that it shall no more be said, 
 'As' Jehovah liveth, who brought up the 
 children of Israel 16 from the land of Egypt 
 
 15 But, 'As' Jehovah liveth, who brought

 up the children of Israel from the land of 
 the north, and from all the lands whither 
 he had driven them : ,6 for 'I will bring them 
 again into their land which I gave to their 
 fathers. 
 
 16 If Behold, I will send for many 'fishers, 
 saith Jehovah, and they shall fish them ; 
 and "then will I send for many hunters, 
 and they shall hunt them from every moun- 
 tain, and from every hill, and 18 from the 
 holes of the rocks. 
 
 17 For mine "eyes are on all their ways : 
 they are not hidden from my face, neither 
 is their iniquity hidden from mine eyes. 
 
 18 And first I will recompense their 
 "former and "repeated sin and iniquity; 
 because ''they have defiled my land, they 
 have filled mine inheritance with the car- 
 casses of their detestable and abomina- 
 ble things. 
 
 19 O Jehovah, z my strength and my for- 
 tress, and "my refuge in the day of ^distress, 
 the Gentiles shall come to thee from the 
 ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely 
 our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and 
 things ^wherein there is no profit. 
 
 20 Shall a man make gods *'for himself, 
 ^which 'yet are no gods r 
 
 21 Therefore behold, I will this once

 CHAPTER XVII. 
 
 1 The captivity of Judah for her sin. 5 Trust in 
 man is cursed, 7 in God is blessed. 9 The deceit- 
 ful heart cannot deceive God. 12 The salvation of 
 God. 15 The prophet complaineth of the mockers 
 of his prophecy. 19 He is sent to renew the cove- 
 nant in hallowing the sabbath. 
 
 THE sin of Judah is written with a "pen 
 of iron, and with the tpoint of a dia- 
 mond : it is 'engraven on the 'tablet of 
 their heart, and on the horns of your altars ; 
 
 2 Whilst their children remember their 
 altars and their 'groves by the green trees 
 on the high hills. 
 
 3 O my mountain in the field, d I will give 
 thy substance and all thy treasures to the 
 spoil, and thy high places for sin, through 
 all thy 2 regions. 
 
 4 And thou, even tthyself, shalt 3 cease 
 from thy heritage which I gave thee ; and 
 I will cause thee to serve thine enemies in 
 'the land which thou knowest not : for 'ye 
 have kindled a fire in mine anger, which 
 shall burn for ever. 
 
 5 If Thus saith Jehovah ; ^Cursed be the 
 man who trusteth in man, and maketh 
 *flesh his arm, and whose- heart departeth 
 from the Lord. 
 
 6 For he shall be 'like the 4 heath in the 
 5 waste, and *shall not 6 know when good 
 cometh; but shall inhabit the parched 
 places in the 7 desert, Hn a salt land and 
 not inhabited. 
 
 7 "Blessed is the man who trusteth in 
 Jehovah, and whose hope Jehovah is. 
 
 8 For he shall be n8 like a tree planted by 
 the waters, and that spreadeth out its roots 
 by the river, and shall not 9 know when heat 
 cometh, but its leaf shall be green ; and 
 shall not be "anxious in the year of 
 lldrought, neither shall cease from yielding 
 fruit. 
 
 9 If The heart is deceitful above all things, 
 and desperately wicked : who can know it? 
 
The sabbath to be hallowed. 
 
 CHAPTER XVIII. 
 
 10 I Jehovah "search the heart, / try the 
 reins, 'even to give every man according 
 to his ways, ana according to the fruit of 
 his doings. 
 
 11 As the partridge sitteth on eggs, 
 "which she hath not laid ; so he who get- 
 teth riches, and not by right, 'shall leave 
 them in the midst of his days, and at his 
 end shall be r a fool. 
 
 12 "|f A glorious high throne from the be- 
 ginning is the place of our sanctuary. 
 
 13 O Jehovah, 'the hope of Israel, 'all who 
 forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they 
 that depart from me shall be "written in 
 the 13 dust, because they have forsaken Je- 
 hovah, the fountain of living water. 
 
 14 Heal me, O Jehovah, and I shall be 
 healed ; save me, and I shall be saved : for 
 "thou art my praise. 
 
 15 «|f Behold, they say to me, "Where is 
 the word of Jehovah ? let it come now. 
 
 16 As for me, °I have not "withdrawn 
 from being a "shepherd tto follow thee : 
 neither have I desired the woful day ; thou 
 knowest : that which came 16 from my lips 
 was right before thee. 
 
 17 Be not a terror to me : 'thou art my 
 hope in the day of evil. 
 
 18 e Let those be confounded who perse- 
 cute me, but d let not me be confounded : 
 let them be dismayed, but let not me be 
 dismayed : bring upon them the day of evil, 
 and t'destroy them with double destruc- 
 tion. 
 
 19 If Thus said Jehovah to me ; Go and 
 stand in the gate of the children of the 
 people, "by which the kings of Judah come 
 in, and by 18 which they go out, and in all 
 the gates of Jerusalem ; 
 
 20 And say to them, 'Hear ye the word 
 of Jehovah, ye kings of Judah, and all 
 Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusa- 
 lem, who enter in by these gates : 
 
 21 Thus saith Jehovah; s Take heed to 
 yourselves, and bear no burden on the 
 sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates 
 of Jerusalem ; 
 
 22 Neither carry forth a burden 19 from 
 your houses on the sabbath day, neither do 
 ye any work, but 20 keep ye holy the sab- 
 bath day, as I 'commanded your fathers. 
 
 23 'But they obeyed not, neither inclined 
 their ear, but made their neck stiff, that 
 they might not hear, nor receive instruc- 
 tion. 
 
 24 And it shall come to pass, if ye dili- 
 gently hearken to me, saith Jehovah, to 
 bring in no burden through the gates of this 
 city on the sabbath day, but 21 keep holy the 
 sabbath day, ^by doing no work therein ; 
 
 25 'Then shall there enter into the gates 
 of this city kings and princes sitting on the 
 throne of David, riding in chariots and on 
 horses, they and their princes, the men of 
 Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem : 
 and this city shall remain for ever. 
 
 26 And they shall come from the cities 
 of Judah, and from 'the places about Jeru- 
 salem, and from the land of Benjamin, and 
 from m the plain, and from the mountains, 
 and from "the south, bringing burnt-offer- 
 ings, and sacrifices, and "meal-offerings, 
 and incense, and bringing "sacrifices of 
 praise, to the house of Jehovah. 
 
 27 But if ye will not hearken to me to 
 "keep holy the sabbath day, and not to

 CHAPTER XVIII. 
 
 1 Under the type of a potter is shewed God's absolute 
 power in disposing of nations. 11 Judgments 
 threatened to Judah for her strange revolt. 18 Je- 
 remiah prayeth against his conspirators. 
 
 THE word which came to Jeremiah from 
 Jehovah, saying, 
 
 2 Arise, and go down to the potter's house, 
 and there I will cause thee to hear my 
 words. 
 
 3 Then I went down to the potter's house, 
 and behold, he wrought a work on the 
 llwheels. 
 
 4 And the vessel [|which he 'was making 
 of clay was injured in the hand of the pot- 
 ter : so he tmade it again another vessel, as 
 seemed good to the potter to make it. 
 
 5 Then the word of Jehovah came to me, 
 saying, 
 
 6 O house of Israel, "cannot I do with you 
 3 like this potter ? saith Jehovah. Behold, 
 'as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are 
 ye in my hand, O house of Israel. 
 
 7 4 Whenever I shall speak concerning a 
 nation, and concerning a kingdom, to "pluck 
 up, and to pull down, and to destroy it : 
 
 8 d If that nation against whom I have 
 pronounced, turn from their evil, "I will 
 repent of the evil which I thought to do to 
 them. 
 
 9 And ^whenever I shall speak concern- 
 ing a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to 
 build and to plant it; 
 
 10 If it do evil in my sight, ' so' that it 
 obey not my voice, then I will repent of 
 the good, wherewith I said I would benefit 
 them. 
 
 11 If Now therefore go 6 , speak to the men 
 of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusa- 
 lem, saying, Thus saith Jehovah; Behold, 
 I 'meditate evil against you, and devise a 
 device against you : Return ye now every 
 one from his evil way, and make your ways 
 and your doings good. 
 
 12 And they said, e There is no hope : but 
 we will walk after our own devices, and 
 Ave will every one do the 8 perverseness of 
 his evil heart. 
 
 13 Therefore thus saith Jehovah; 'Ask 
 ye now among the heathen, who hath heard 
 such tilings : the virgin of Israel hath done 
 'a very horrible thing. 
 
 14 9 Shall ||the snow of the rock of Leba- 
 non forsake my fields ? or shall the cold 
 flowing waters which come from another 
 place be '"dried up ? 
 
 15 "Yet my people have forgotten 'me, 
 they have burned incense to " 2 idols, and 
 they have caused them to stumble in their 
 ways, 13 the "ancient paths, to walk in 
 paths, in a way not cast up ; 
 
 16 To make their land "desolate, and a 
 perpetual "hissing ; every one who passeth 
 thereby shall be "amazed, and I5 shake his 
 head. 
 
 17 P I will scatter them 'as with an east 
 wind before the enemy; r l will shew them 
 the back, and not the face, in the day of 
 their calamity. 
 
 18 f Then said they, 'Come, and let us 
 devise devices against Jeremiah ; 'for the 
 
 513 
 
The Jews' destruction typified. 
 
 law '"will not perish from the priest, nor 
 counsel from the wise, nor the word from 
 the prophet. Come, and let us smite him 
 Ijwith the tongue, and let us not give heed 
 to any of his words. 
 
 19 Give "ear to me, Jehovah, and 
 hearken to the voice of those who contend 
 with me. 
 
 20 "Shall evil be recompensed for good ? 
 for x they have digged a pit for my I8 life. 
 Remember that I stood before thee to speak 
 good for them, and to turn away thy 
 wrath from them. 
 
 21 Therefore "deliver up their children to 
 the famine, and t I9 give them up to the force 
 of the sword; and let their wives be be- 
 reaved of their children, and be widows ; 
 and let their men 20 die by pestilence; let 
 their young men be slain by the sword in 
 battle. 
 
 22 Let a cry be heard from their houses, 
 when thou shalt bring a troop suddenly 
 upon them : for *they have digged a pit to 
 take me, and hidden snares for my feet. 
 
 23 Yet, ' 0' Jehovah, thou knowest all 
 their counsel against me tto slay me: "for- 
 give not their iniquity, neither blot out 
 their sin from thy sight, but let them be 
 overthrown before thee, deal thus with 
 them in the time of thine anger. 
 
 CHAPTER XIX. 
 
 Under the type of breaking a potter's vessel is fore- 
 shewed the desolation of the Jews for their sins. 
 THUS saith Jehovah, Go and get a pot- 
 ter's earthen bottle, and take 'some 1 
 of the 'elders of the people, and of the 
 2 elders of the priests ; 
 
 2 And go forth to "the valley of the son 
 of Hinnom, which is by the entrance of 
 the 3 pottery gate, and proclaim there the 
 words which I shall tell thee. 
 
 3 'And say, Hear ye the word of Jehovah, 
 O kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jeru- 
 salem ; Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the 
 God of Israel ; Behold, I will bring evil 
 upon this place, 4 whoever hearetn ' it,' 
 his ears shall 'tingle. 
 
 4 Because they d have forsaken me, and 
 have estranged this place, and have 'even' 
 burned incense in it to other gods, whom 
 neither they nor their fathers have known, 
 nor the kings of Judah, and have filled this 
 place with e the blood of innocents ; 
 
 5 ^They have built also the high places 
 of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for i 
 burnt-offerings to Baal, ff which I command- 
 ed not, nor spake it, neither came it into 
 my mind : 
 
 6 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith 
 Jehovah, 5 when this place shall no more 
 be called Tophet, nor The valley of the 
 son of Hinnom, but The valley of Slaughter. 
 
 7 And I will make void the counsel of 
 Judah and Jerusalem in this place ; 'and I 
 will cause them to fall by the sword before 
 their enemies, and by the hands of those 
 who seek their lives : and their 'carcasses 
 will I give to be meat for the fowls of the 
 heaven, and for the beasts of the earth. 
 
 8 And I will make this city 'desolate, and 
 a hissing : and every one who passeth 6 by 
 it shall be astonished and hiss because of 
 all the plagues thereof. 
 
 9 And I will cause them to eat. the ""flesh 
 of their sons and the flesh of their daugh- 
 ters, and they shall eat every one the flesh

 Pashur 's fearful doom 
 
 of his friend in the 'distress and straitness 
 wherewith their enemies, and those who 
 seek their lives, shall straiten them. 
 
 10 iThen shalt thou break the bottle in 
 the sight of the men who go with thee, 
 
 11 And shalt say to them, Thus saith Je- 
 hovah of hosts; "Even so will I break this 
 people and this city, as one breaketh a pot- 
 ter's vessel, which cannot tbe made whole 
 again : and they shall p bury them in Tophet, 
 till there be no 8 room to bury. 
 
 12 Thus will I do to this place, saith Je- 
 hovah, and to the inhabitants thereof, and 
 even make this city 9 like Tophet : 
 
 13 And the houses of Jerusalem, and the 
 houses of the kings of Judah, shall be de- 
 filed «'°like the place of Tophet, because 
 of all the houses on whose 'roofs they have 
 burned incense to all the host of heaven, 
 and 'have poured out drink-offerings to 
 other gods. 
 
 14 Then came Jeremiah from Tophet, 
 whither Jehovah had sent him to prophesy ; 
 and he stood in 'the court of Jehovah's 
 house ; and said to all the people, 
 
 15 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God 
 of Israel ; Behold, I will bring upon this 
 city and upon all her towns all the evil 
 which I have pronounced againstit, because 
 "they have "made their necks stiff, that 
 they might not hear my words. 
 
 CHAPTER XX. 
 
 1 Pashur, smiting Jeremiah, receiveth a new name, 
 and a fearful doom. 7 Jeremiah complaineth of 
 contempt, 10 of treachery, 14 and of his birth. 
 
 NOW Pashur the son of "Immer the 
 priest, who was also chief 'overseer 
 in the house of Jehovah, heard 2 Jeremiah 
 'prophesying these things. 
 
 2 Then Pashur smote Jeremiah the pro- 
 phet, and put him in the stocks that were 
 4 by the hign gate of Benjamin, which was 
 by the house of Jehovah. 
 
 3 And it came to pass on the morrow, 
 that Pashur brought forth Jeremiah out of 
 the stocks. Then said Jeremiah to him, 
 Jehovah 6 doth not call thy name Pashur, 
 but Terror-around. 
 
 4 For thus saith Jehovah, Behold, I will 
 make thee a terror to thyself, and to all 
 thy friends: and they shall fall by the 
 sword of their enemies, and thine eyes 
 shall behold it: and I will give all Judah 
 into the hand of the king of Babylon, and 
 he shall carry them captives to Babylon, 
 and shall slay them with the sword. 
 
 5 Moreover I 'will deliver all the "wealth 
 of this city, and all the 'possessions there- 
 of, and all the precious things thereof, and 
 all the treasures of the kings of Judah will 
 I give into the hand of their enemies, who 
 shall 'plunder them, and take them, and 
 carry tnem to Babylon. 
 
 6 And thou, Pashur, and all that dwell 
 in thy house shall go into captivity : and 
 thou shalt come to Babylon, and there 
 thou shalt die, and shalt be buried there, 
 thou, and all thy friends, to whom thou 
 hast 'prophesied lies. 
 
 7 II O Jehovah, thou hast 9 enticed me, 
 and I was '"enticed : ''thou art stronger

 CHAPTER XXI. 
 
 I Zedekiah sendeth to Jeremiah to inquire the event 
 of Nebuchadrezzar's war. 3 Jeremiah foretelleth 
 a hard siege and miserable captivity. 8 He coun- 
 selled the people to fall to the Chaldeans, 1 1 and 
 upbraideth the king's house. 
 
 THE word which came to Jeremiah from 
 Jehovah, when king Zedekiah sent 
 to him "Pashur the son of Melchiah, and 
 'Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, 
 saying, 
 
 2 "Inquire, I pray thee, of Jehovah for 
 us ; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon 
 maketh war against us ; 'whether Jehovah 
 will deal with us according to all his won- 
 drous works, that he may go up from us. 
 
 3 ■jf Then said Jeremiah to them, Thus 
 shall ye say to Zedekiah : 
 
 4 Thus saith Jehovah God of Israel ; Be- 
 hold, I will turn back the weapons of war 
 which are in your hands, wherewith ye 
 fight against the king of Babylon, and 
 against the Chaldeans, who besiege you 
 without the walls, and fl will assemble 
 them into the midst of this city. 
 
 5 And I myself will fight against you with 
 an 'out-stretched hand and with a strong 
 arm, even in anger, and in fury, and in great 
 wrath.

 city, both man and beast : they shall die 
 2 by a great pestilence. 
 
 7 And afterward, saith Jehovah, 'I will 
 deliver Zedekiah king of Judah, and his 
 servants, and the people, and such as are 
 left in this city from the pestilence, from 
 the sword, and from the famine, into the 
 hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, 
 and into the hand of their enemies, and 
 into the hand of those who seek their life : 
 and he shall smite them with the edge of

 ther have pity, nor have mercy.

 Thus saith Jehovah ; Behold, *I set before 
 you the way of life, and the way of death. 
 
 9 He who 'abideth in this city shall die 
 by the sword, and by the famine, and by 
 the pestilence : but he who goeth out, and 
 falleth to the Chaldeans who besiege you, 
 he shall live, and *his life shall be to him 
 for a 'booty. 
 
 10 For I have 'set my face against this 
 city for evil, and not for good, saith Jeho- 
 vah : m it shall be given into the hand of 
 the king of Babylon, and he shall "burn it 
 with fire. 
 
 11 IT And Concerning the house of the 
 king of Judah, say, Hear ye the word of 
 Jehovah ; 
 
 12 O house of David, thus saith Jehovah; 
 "tExecute 'justice p6 early, and deliver him 
 who is plundered from the hand of the 
 oppressor, lest my fury go out like fire, 
 and burn ' so' that 8 no one can quench it, 
 because of the evil of your doings. 
 
 13 Behold, 9 I am against thee, O tinha- 
 bitant of the valley, Hhe rock of the plain, 
 saith Jehovah; who say, r Who shall come 
 down against us ? or who shall enter into 
 our habitations ? 
 
 14 But I will tpunish you according to 
 the 'fruit of your doings, saith Jehovah : 
 and I will kindle a fire m the forest there- 
 of, and 'it shall devour all things "around it. 
 
 CHAPTER XXII. 
 
 1 He exhorteth to repentance, with promises and 
 threats. 10 The judgment of Shallum, 13 of Je- 
 hoiakim, 20 and of Coniah. 
 
 THUS "said Jehovah ; Go down to the 
 house of the king of Judah, and speak 
 there this word, 
 
 2 And say, "Hear the word of Jehovah, 
 
 king of Judah, who sittest on the throne 
 of David, thou, and thy servants, and thy 
 people who enter in by these gates : 
 
 3 Thus saith the Lord; *Execute ye jus- 
 tice and righteousness, and deliver the 
 
 plundered from the hand of the oppressor: 
 and 'do no wrong, do no violence to the 
 stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, 
 neither shed innocent blood in this place. 
 
 4 For if ye do this thing indeed, d then 
 shall there enter in by the gates of this 
 house kings sitting ton the throne of David, 
 riding in chariots and on horses, 4 each one 
 with his servants, and his people. 
 
 5 But if ye will not hear these words, 
 
 1 swear by myself, saith Jehovah, that 
 this house shall become a desolation. 
 
 6 For thus saith Jehovah to the king's 
 house of Judah ; Thou art Gilead to me, 
 and the 5 top of Lebanon : yet surely I will 
 make thee a 6 desert, and cities which are 
 not inhabited. 
 
 7 And I will prepare destroyers against 
 
 515 
 
The judgment of Shallum, fyc. 
 
 thee, 7 each one with his weapons: and 
 they shall cut down 'thy choice cedars, 
 *and cast them into the fire. 
 
 8 And many nations shall pass by this 
 city, and they shall say 8 each man to his 
 neighbour, * Wherefore hath Jehovah done 
 thus to this great city ? 
 
 9 Then they shall answer, 'Because they 
 9 forsook the covenant of Jehovah their 
 God, and worshipped other gods, and 
 served them. 
 
 10 If Weep ye not for Hhe dead, neither 
 bemoan him: but weep '"indeed for him 
 'who "hath gone away : for he shall return 
 no more, nor see his native country. 
 
 11 For thus saith Jehovah "concerning 
 m Shallum the son of Josiah king of Judah, 
 who reigned instead of Josiah his father, 
 "who went forth ls from this place; He shall 
 not return thither any more : 
 
 12 But he shall die in the place whither 
 they have led him captive, and shall see 
 this land no more. 
 
 13 J|f 'Wo to him who buildeth his house 
 by "injustice, and his chambers by wrong ; 
 fwho useth his neighbour's service without 
 wages, and givethhim I5 no recompense; 
 
 14 Who saith, I will build me a wide 
 house and tlarge chambers, and cutteth 
 him out Hwindows ; and it is ceiled with 
 cedar, and painted with vermilion. 
 
 15 Shalt thou reign, because thou 16 rivalest 
 others in cedar ? «did not thy father eat and 
 drink, and "execute justice and equity, 
 and then r it was well with him r 
 
 16 He judged the cause of the poor and 
 needy ; then it was well with him : was 
 not this to 18 know me ? saith Jehovah. 
 
 17 'But thine eyes and thy heart are "only 
 on thy unjust gain, and 20 to shed innocent 
 blood, and for "violence, and for 22 oppres- 
 sion, to do it. 
 
 18 Therefore thus saith Jehovah con- 
 cerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king 
 of Judah ; 'They shall not lament foi; him, 
 saying, "Ah my brother ! or, Ah sister ! 
 they shall not lament for him, saying, Ah 
 lord ! or, Ah his glory ! 
 
 19 *He shall be buried with the burial of 
 an ass, drawn and cast forth beyond the 
 gates of Jerusalem. 
 
 20 TfGo up to Lebanon, and cry; and lift 
 up thy voice in Bashan, and cry from the 
 passages : for all thy lovers are destroyed. 
 
 21 I spoke to thee in thy tprospei-ity ; bid 
 thou saidst, I will not hear. '■'This hath 
 been thy 23 custom from thy youth, that thou 
 obeyedst not my voice. 
 
 22 The wind shall eat up all z thy ^shep- 
 herds, and "thy lovers shall go into capti- 
 vity: surely then shalt thou _ be ashamed 
 and confounded for all thy wickedness. 
 
 23 O tinhabitant of Lebanon, who makest 
 thy nest in the cedars, how 25 pitiable shalt 
 thou be when pangs come upon thee, Hhe 
 pain as of a woman in travail ! 
 
 24 Jls I live, saith Jehovah, 'though Co- 
 niah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah 
 ''were the 26 seal-ring on my right hand, yet 
 would I pluck thee thence; 
 
 25 e And I will give thee into the hand of 
 those who seek thy life, and into the hand 
 of those whose face thou fearest, even into 
 the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Ba- 
 bylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans.

 27 But to the land to which they tdesire

 28 Is this man Coniah a despised broken 
 27 earthen vessel ? is he e a vessel wherein 
 
 'none delight? wherefore are they cast 
 out, he and his seed, and are cast into a 
 land which they know not ? 
 
 29 A earth, earth, earth, hear the word 
 of Jehovah. 
 
 30 Thus saith the Lord, Write ye this 
 man 'childless, a man who shall not pros- 
 per in his days : for no man of his seed 
 shall prosper, 'sitting on the throne of Da- 
 vid, and ruling any more in Judah. 
 
 CHAPTER XXIII. 
 
 1 He prophesieth a restoration of the scattered flock. 
 5 Christ shall rule and save them. 9 Against false 
 prophets, 33 and mockers of the true prophets. 
 
 TTTO "be to the 'shepherds who destroy 
 » / and scatter the sheep of my pasture ! 
 saith Jehovah. 
 
 2 Therefore thus saith Jehovah God of 
 Israel against the 2 shepherds who feed my 
 people ; Ye have scattered my flock, and 
 driven them away, and have not visited 
 them: 'behold, I will visit upon you the 
 evil of your doings, saith Jehovah. 
 
 3 And C I will gather the remnant of my 
 flock out of all countries whither I have 
 driven them, and will bring them again to 
 their folds ; and they shall be fruitful and 
 increase. 
 
 4 And I will set up d shepherds over them, 
 who shall feed them : and they shall fear 
 no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall 
 they be 3 lost, saith Jehovah. 
 
 5 U Behold, 'the days come, saith Jeho- 
 vah, 4 when I will raise to David a right- 
 eous Branch, and a King shall reign and 
 prosper, 'and shall execute 'justice and 
 6 equity in the earth. 
 
 6 fin his days Judah shall be saved, and 
 Israel ''shall dwell safely : and 'this is his 
 name whereby he shall be called, tJEHO- 
 VAH OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. 
 
 7 Therefore, behold, Hhe days come, saith 
 Jehovah, 'when they shall no more say, 
 ' As' Jehovah liveth, who brought up the 
 children of Israel 8 from the land of Egypt; 
 
 8 But, 'as' Jehovah liveth, who brought 
 up and who led the seed of the house of 
 Israel 9 from the north country, 'and from 
 all countries whither I had driven them ; 
 and they shall dwell in their own land. 
 
 9 •If My heart within me is broken because 
 of the prophets ; m all my bones shake ; I 
 am like a drunken man, and like a man 
 whom wine hath overcome, because of Je- 
 hovah, and because of the words of his 
 holiness. 
 
 10 For "the land is full of adulterers; for 
 "because of 10 a curse the land mourneth ; 
 ''the "pastures of the 12 waste region are 
 dried up, and their ||course is evil, and 
 their force is not right. 
 
 11 For 'both prophet and priest are pro- 
 fane; 13 even 'in my house have I found 
 their wickedness, saith Jehovah. 
 
 12 "Wherefore their way shall be to them 
 14 like slippery ways in the darkness : they 
 shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I 
 'will bring evil upon them, even the year 
 of their visitation, saith Jehovah. 
 
God's fearful judgments 
 
 13 And I have seen Htfolly in the prophets 
 of Samaria; "they prophesied ,6 6y Baal, 
 and x caused my people Israel to err. 
 
 14 I have seen also in the prophets of Je- 
 rusalem ||a horrible thing : y they commit 
 adultery, and *walk in lies : they "strength- 
 en also the hands of evil-doers, ' so' that 
 l6 no one doth turn from his wickedness : 
 they are all of them to me "like 'Sodom, 
 and the inhabitants thereof l8 like Gomorrah. 
 
 15 Therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts 
 concerning the prophets; Behold, I will 
 feed them with 'wormwood, and make them 
 drink the water of 19 poppies : for from the 
 
 Sirophets of Jerusalem is [Iprofaneness gone 
 brth into all the land. 
 
 16 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, Hearken 
 not to the words of the prophets who pro- 
 phesy to you : they make you vain : d they 
 speak a vision of their own heart, and not 
 20 from the mouth of Jehovah. 
 
 17 They say still to those who despise 
 me, Jehovah hath said, "Ye shall have 
 peace; and they say to every one who 
 walketh after the 2I stubbornness of his own 
 heart, 'No evil shall come upon you. 
 
 18 For g who hath stood in the Hcounselof 
 Jehovah, and hath perceived and heard his 
 word? who hath marked his word, and 
 heard it ? 
 
 19 Behold, a "whirlwind ^from Jehovah 
 ^hath gone forth in fury, even a 24 sweeping 
 whirlwind: it shall ^rush upon the head 
 of the wicked. 
 
 20 The 'anger of Jehovah shall not return, 
 until he '. shall' have executed, and till he 
 ' shall' have performed the ^intentions of 
 his heart : *in the latter days ye shall ^un- 
 derstand it perfectly. 
 
 21 'I have not sent these prophets, yet 
 they ran ; I have not spoken to them, yet 
 they prophesied. 
 
 22 But if they had "stood in my counsel, 
 and had caused my people to hear my 
 words, then they 28 would have"turned them 
 from their evil way, and from the ^wick- 
 edness of their doings. 
 
 23 Jim I a God at hand, saith Jehovah, 
 and not a God afar off? 
 
 24 Can any ' one' "hide himself in secret 
 
 ? laces, ' so' that I shall not see him ? saith 
 ehovah. p Do not I fill heaven and earth? 
 saith Jehovah. 
 
 25 I have heard what the prophets said, 
 who prophesy lies in my name, saying, I 
 have dreamed, I have dreamed. 
 
 26 How long shall this be in the heart of 
 the prophets who prophesy lies ? yea, they 
 are prophets of the deceit of their own 
 heart ; 
 
 27" Who think to cause my people to for- 
 get my name by their dreams which they 
 tell '"each man to his neighbour, «as their 
 fathers have forgotten my name 31 through 
 Baal. 
 
 28 The prophet twho hath a dream, let 
 him tell a dream; and he that hath my 
 word, let him speak my word faithfully. 
 What is the chaff to the wheat ? saith Je- 
 hovah. 
 
 29 Is not my work like M a fire? saith 
 Jehovah ; and like a hammer that break- 
 eth the rock in pieces ? 
 
 30 Therefore behold, 'I am against the 
 prophets, saith Jehovah, who steal my 
 words ^each one from his neighbour.

 against false prophets. 
 
 31 Behold, I am against the prophets, 
 saith Jehovah, ||who use their tongues, and 
 say, He saith. 
 
 32 Behold, I am against those who pro- 
 phesy false dreams, saith Jehovah, and do 
 tell them, and cause my people to err by 
 their lies, and by 'their "boasting; yet I 
 sent them not, nor commanded them : 
 therefore they shall not profit this people 
 at all, saith Jehovah. 
 
 33 «[[ And when this people, or the pro- 
 phet, or a priest, shall ask thee, saying, 
 What is 'the burden of Jehovah ? thou 
 shalt then say to them, What burden ? "I 
 will even forsake you, saith Jehovah. 
 
 34 And as for the prophet, and the priest, 
 and the people, who shall say. The burden 
 of Jehovah, I will even tpunish that man 
 and his house. 
 
 35 Thus shall ye say every one to his 
 neighbour, and every one to his brother, 
 What hath Jehovah answered ? and, What 
 hath Jehovah spoken ? 
 
 36 And 35 a burden of Jehovah shall ye 
 mention no more : for every man's word 
 shall be his burden ; for ye have perverted 
 the words of the living God, of Jehovah 
 of hosts our God. 
 
 37 Thus shalt thou say to the prophet, 
 What hath Jehovah answered thee ? and, 
 What hath Jehovah spoken ? 
 
 38 But since ye say, The burden of Je- 
 hovah; therefore thus saith Jehovah; Be- 
 cause ye say this word, The burden of 
 Jehovah, and I have sent to you, saying, 
 Ye shall not say, The burden of Jehovah : 
 
 39 Therefore behold, I, even I, "will ut- 
 terly forget you, and "I will forsake you, 
 and the city which I gave you and your 
 fathers, 3S out of my presence : 
 
 40 And I will bring *an everlasting re- 
 proach upon you, and a perpetual shame, 
 which shall not be forgotten. 
 
 CHAPTER XXIV. 
 
 1 Under the type of good and bad figs, 4 heforeshew- 
 eth the restoration of them that were in captivity, 
 8 and the desolation of Xedekiah and the rest. 
 
 "JEHOVAH shewed me, and behold, two 
 J baskets of figs were set before the tem- 
 ple of Jehovah, after that Nebuchadrez- 
 zar J king of Babylon had carried away 
 captives 'Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim 
 king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, 
 with the 'artificers and smiths, from Jeru- 
 salem, and had brought them to Babylon. 
 
 2 One basket had very good figs, even 
 like the figs which are first ripe : and the 
 other basket had very 2 bad figs, which 
 could not be eaten, tthey were so bad. 
 
 3 Then said Jehovah to me, What seest 
 thou, Jeremiah ? and I said, Figs ; the good 
 figs, very good; and the 3 bad, very 4 bad, 
 which cannot be eaten, they are so 5 bad. 
 
 4 If Again the word of Jehovah came to 
 me, saying, 
 
 5 Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel ; 
 Like these good figs, so will I acknowledge 
 6 the captives of Judah, whom I have sent 
 out of this place into the land of the Chal- 
 deans for their good. 
 
 6 For I will set mine eyes upon them for 
 good, and d I will bring them again to this 
 land : and "I will build them, and not pull 
 them down; and I will plant them, and 
 not pluck them up. 
 
 7 And I will give them f & heart to know 
 
 517 
 
The seventy years captivity, and 
 
 me, that I am Jehovah : and they shall be 
 *my people, and I will be their God : for 
 they shall return to me *with their whole 
 heart. 
 
 8 If And as the T)ad 'figs, which cannot 
 be eaten, they are so 8 bad ; surely thus 
 saith Jehovah, So will I give Zedekiah the 
 king of Judah, and his princes, and the 
 residue of Jerusalem, who remain in this 
 land, and 'those who dwell in the land of 
 Egypt : 
 
 9 And I will deliver them tto 'be remov- 
 ed into all the kingdoms of the earth for 
 their Vexation, m to be a reproach and a 
 proverb, a taunt "and a curse, in all places 
 whither I shall drive them. 
 
 10 And I will send the sword, the famine, 
 and the pestilence, among them, till they 
 10 are consumed from u the land which I 
 gave to them and to their fathers. 
 
 CHAPTER XXV. 
 
 1 Jeremiah reproving the Jews' disobedience to the 
 prophets, Sforetelleth the seventy years' captivity, 
 12 and after that, the destruction of Babylon. 
 15 Under the type of a cup of wine he foresheweth 
 the destruction of all nations. 34 The howling of 
 the shepherds. 
 
 THE word which came to Jeremiah 
 concerning all the people of Judah "in 
 the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of 
 Josiah king of Judah, that was the first 
 year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon ; 
 
 2 ' Which Jeremiah the prophet spoke to 
 all the people of Judah, and to all the in- 
 habitants of Jerusalem, saying, 
 
 3 'From the thirteenth year of Josiah the 
 son of Amon king of Judah, even to this 
 day, that is the three and twentieth year, 
 the word of Jehovah hath come to me, and 
 I have spoken to you, rising early and 
 speaking ; 'but ye have not hearkened. 
 
 4 And Jehovah hath sent to you all his 
 servants the prophets, ^rising early and 
 sending them; but ye have not hearkened, 
 nor inclined your ear to hear. 
 
 5 They said, 'Turn ye again now every 
 one from his evil way, and from the evil 
 of your doings, and dwell in the land 
 which Jehovah hath given to you and to 
 your fathers for ever and ever : 
 
 6 And go not after other gods to serve 
 them, and to worship them, and provoke 
 me not to anger with the works of your 
 hands ; and I will do you no hurt. 
 
 7 Yet ye have not hearkened to me, saith 
 the Lord; that ye might 'provoke me 2 
 with the works of your nands to your own 
 hurt. 
 
 8 If Therefore thus saith Jehovah of 
 hosts ; Because ye have not heard my words, 
 
 9 Behold, I will send and take ^all the 
 families of the north, saith Jehovah, and 
 Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, *my 
 servant, and will bring them against this 
 land, and against the inhabitants thereof, 
 and against all these nations 3 around, and 
 will utterly destroy them, and 'make them 
 an astonishment, and a hissing, and perpe- 
 tual desolations. 
 
 10 Moreover tl will take from them the 
 'voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, 
 the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice 
 of the bride, 'the sound of the millstones, 
 and the light of the 4 lamp. 
 
 11 And this whole land shall be a deso- 
 lation, and an astonishment; and these

 12 If And it shall come to pass, m wher. 
 *seventy years are accomplished, that I 
 will tpunish the king of Babylon, and that 
 nation, saith Jehovah, for their iniquity,, 
 and the land of the Chaldeans, "and will 
 make it perpetual desolations. 
 
 13 And I will bring upon that land all 
 my words which I have pronounced against 
 it, even all that is written in this book, 
 which Jeremiah hath prophesied against 
 all the nations. 
 
 14 "For many nations p and great kings 
 shall « 5 bring them into servitude also : r and 
 I will recompense them according to their 
 deeds, and according to the works of their 
 own hands.

 6 from my hand, and cause all the nations, 
 to whom I send thee, to drink it. 
 
 16 'For 'they shall drink, and "stagger, 
 and be mad, because of the sword which I 
 will send among them.

 hand, and made all the nations to drink, 
 to whom Jehovah had sent me : 
 
 18 w Even Jerusalem, and the cities of 
 Judah, and the kings thereof, and the 
 princes thereof, to make them "a desola-

 'Vomit, and fall, and rise no more, because 
 of the sword which I will send among you. 
 
 28 And it shall be, if they refuse to take

 not be unpunished : for 'I will call for ^the

 SI A noise shall come even to the ends 
 of the earth ; for Jehovah hath "a contro-

 with all flesh ; he will give those who are 
 wicked to the sword, saith Jehovah. 
 
 32 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, Behold, 
 evil shall go forth from nation to nation, 
 and 'a great whirlwind shall be raised up 
 from the 26 utmost regions of the earth. 
 
 S3 d And the slain of Jehovah shall be at 
 that day from one end of the earth even to

 lion : for their land is tdesolate because of 
 the fierceness of the oppressor, and be- 
 cause of his fierce anger. 
 
 CHAPTER XXVI. 
 
 1 Jeremiah by promises and threatenings exhorteth to 
 repentance. 8 He is therefore apprehended, 10 and 
 arraigned, 11 His apology. 16 He is quit in 
 judgment, by the example of Micah, 20 and of 
 Urijah, 24 and by the care of Ahikam. 
 
 IN the beginning of the reign of Jehoia- 
 kim the son of Josiah king of Judah 
 came this word from Jehovah, saying, 
 
 2 Thus saith Jehovah; Stand in "the 
 court of Jehovah's house, and speak to all 
 the cities of Judah, which come to worship 
 in Jehovah's house, 'all the words which 
 I command thee to speak to them ; 'dimi- 
 nish not a word : 
 
 3 ""Perhaps they will hearken, and turn 
 every man from his evil way, that I may 
 'repent me of the evil, which I purpose to 
 do to them because of the evil of their do- 
 ings. 
 
 4 And thou shalt say to them, Thus saith 
 Jehovah, 'If ye will not hearken to me to 
 walk in my law, which I have, set before 
 you, 
 
 5 To hearken to the words of my ser- 
 vants the prophets, 'whom I 'have' sent 
 to you, both rising up early, and sending 
 them, but ye have not hearkened ; 
 
 6 Then will I make this house like *Shi- 
 loh, and will make this city 'a curse to all 
 the nations of the earth. 
 
 7 So the priests and the prophets and all 
 the people heard Jeremiah speaking these 
 words in the house of Jehovah. 
 
 8 If Now it came to pass, when Jeremiah cr.eog. 
 had made an end of speakihg all that Je- \\ ut c of d ' 
 hovah had commanded him to speak to all I8 bro " sht 
 the people, that the priests and the prophets \u^tT ° f 
 and all the people 2 seized him, saying, 3 «<»k. "j 2 *"*" 22 -

 9 "Why hast thou prophesied in the name 
 of Jehovah, saying, This house shall be 
 like Shiloh, and this city shall be desolate 
 without an inhabitant? And all the peo- 
 ple were gathered against Jeremiah in the 
 house of Jehovah. 
 
 10 If When the princes of Judah heard 
 these things, then they came up from the 
 king's house to the house of Jehovah, and 
 sat down ||in the. Entrance of the new gate 
 of Jehovah's house. 
 
 11 Then spoke the priests and the pro- 
 phets to the princes and to all the people, 
 saying, tThis man is worthy 4 of death; 
 *for he hath prophesied against this city, as 
 ye have heard with your ears. 
 
 12 TT Then spoke Jeremiah to all the 
 princes, and to all the people, saying, Je- 
 hovah sent me to prophesy against this 
 house and against this city all the words 
 which ye have heard. 
 
 13 5 But now 'amend your ways and your 
 doings, and obey the voice of Jehovah 
 your God ; and Jehovah will "repent him 
 of the evil which he hath pronounced 
 against you. 
 
 14 As for me, behold, "I am in your hand : 
 do with me fas seemeth good and 6 right 
 to you : 
 
 15 But know ye 'certainly, that if ye put 
 me to death, ye 8 will surely bring innocent 
 blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, 
 and upon the inhabitants thereof: for 
 9 truly Jehovah hath sent me to you to 
 speak all these words in your "hearing. 
 
 16 IT Then said the princes and all the 
 people to the priests and to the prophets ; 
 This man is not worthy "of death : for he 
 hath spoken to us in the name of Jehovah 
 our God. 
 
 17 "Then I2 arose some of the elders of 
 the land, and spoke to all the assembly of 
 the people, saying, 
 
 18 ^Micah the Morasthite prophesied in 
 the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and 
 spoke to all the people of Judah, saying, 
 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts ; 'Zion shall 
 be ploughed like a field, and Jerusalem 
 shall become heaps, and the mountain of 
 the house as the high places of a forest. 
 
 19 Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all 
 Judah put him 1S to death? 'did he not fear 
 Jehovah, and besought Uehovah, and Je- 
 hovah 'repented him of the evil which he 
 had pronounced against them? 'Thus might 
 we "bring great evil 16 upon our souls. 
 
 20 And there was also a man who pro- 
 phesied in the name of Jehovah, Urijah 
 the son of Shemaiah of Kirjath-jearim, who 
 prophesied against this city and against 
 this land according to all the words of Je- 
 remiah : 
 
 21 And when Jehoiakim the king with 
 all his mighty men, and all the princes, 
 heard his words, the king sought to put him 
 to death: but when Urijah heard it, he 
 was afraid, and fled, and went; into Egypt; 
 
 22 And Jehoiakim the king sent men into 
 Egypt, namely, Elnathan the son of Ach- 
 bor, and certain men with him into Egypt. 
 
 23 And they "brought forth Urijah "from 
 Egypt, and "carried him to Jehoiakim the 
 king ; who slew him with the sword, and 
 cast his dead body into the graves of the 
 tcommon people. 
 
 24 Nevertheless, "the hand of Ahikam 
 
 519 
 
Jeremiah prophesieth the subjection 
 
 the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, 
 that they should not give him into the hand 
 of the people to put him to death. 
 
 CHAPTER XXVII. 
 
 1 Under the type of bands and yokes he prophesieth 
 the subduing of the neighbour kings to Nebuchad- 
 nezzar. 8 He exhorteth them to yield, and not to 
 believe the false prophets. 12 The like he doeth to 
 Zedekiah. 19 He foretelleth, the remnant of the 
 vessels shall be carried to Babylon, and there con 
 tinue until the day of visitation. 
 
 IN the beginning of the reign of Jehoia 
 kim the son of Josiah "king of Judah 
 came this word to Jeremiah from Jehovah, 
 saying, 
 
 2 Thus 'said Jehovah to me ; Make thee 
 bands and yokes, 'and put them on thy 
 neck, 
 
 3 And send them to the king of Edqm, 
 and to the king of Moab, and to the king 
 of the Ammonites, and to the king of 
 Tyrus, and to the king of Zidon, by the 
 hand of the messengers who come to Je- 
 rusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah ; 
 
 4 And command. them ||to say to their 
 masters, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the 
 God of Israel ; Thus shall ye say to your 
 masters ; 
 
 5 T have made the earth, the man and 
 the beast that are on the 2 face of the earth, 
 by my great power and by my out-stretch- 
 ed arm, and d have given it to whom it 
 seemed 3 to me fit. 
 
 6 'And now have I given all these lands 
 into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king 
 of Babylon, Any servant; and s the beasts 
 of the field have I given him also to serve 
 him. 
 
 7 *And all nations shall serve him, and 
 his son, and his son's son, 'until the very

 bylon, and that will not put their neck un- 
 der the yoke of the king of Babylon, that 
 nation will I punish, saith Jehovah, with 
 the sword, ana with the famine, and with 
 the pestilence, until I have consumed them 
 by his hand. 
 
 9 Therefore hearken not ye to your pro- 
 
 fihets, nor to your diviners, nor to your 
 dreamers, nor to your enchanters, nor to 
 your sorcerers, who speak to you, saying, 
 Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon: 
 
 10 'For they prophesy a lie to you, to re- 
 move you far from your land ; and that I 
 should drive you out, and ye should perish. 
 
 11 But the nations that bring their neck 
 under the yoke of the king of Babylon, 
 and serve him, those will I 5 leave still in 
 their own land, saith Jehovah ; and they 
 shall till it, and dwell therein. 
 
 12 If I spoke also to ""Zedekiah king of 
 Judah according to all these words, saying, 
 Bring your necks under the yoke of the 
 king of Babylon, and serve him and his 
 people, and live. 
 
 13 "Why will ye die, thou and thy peo- 
 ple, by the sword, by the famine, and by 
 the pestilence, as Jehovah hath spoken 
 against the nation which will not serve the 
 king of Babylon ?

 Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon; for

 vah, 6 but they prophesy ta lie in my name; 
 that 1 7 may drive you out, and that ye 8 may 
 perish, ye, and the prophets who prophesy 
 to you. 
 
 16 Also I spoke to the priests and to all 
 this people, saying, Thus saith Jehovah; 
 Hearken not to the words of your prophets 
 that prophesy to you, saying, Behold, ? the 
 vessels of Jehovah's house shall now short- 
 ly be brought again from Babylon : for they 
 prophesy a lie to you. 
 
 17 Hearken not to them ; serve the king 
 of Babylon, and live : wherefore should 
 this city 9 become a desolation ? 
 
 18 But if they be prophets, and if the 
 word of the Lord be with them, let them 
 now make intercession to Jehovah of hosts, 
 that the vessels which are left in the house 
 of Jehovah, and in the house of the king 
 of Judah, and at Jerusalem, 10 may not go 
 to Babylon. 
 
 19 If For thus saith Jehovah of hosts 
 'concerning the pillars, and concerning the 
 sea, and concerning the bases, and con- 
 cerning the residue of the vessels which 
 remain in this city, 
 
 20 Which Nebuchadnezzar king of Ba- 
 bylon took not, when he carried away 
 'captives Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim 
 king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon, 
 and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem ; 
 
 21 Yea, thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the 
 God of Israel, concerning the vessels which 
 remain in the house of Jehovah, and in the 
 house of the king of Judah and of Jerusalem; 
 
 22 They shall be 'carried to Babylon, and 
 there shall they be until the day "when I 
 'visit them, saith Jehovah ; then "will I 
 bring them up, and restore them to this 
 place. 
 
 CHAPTER XXVIII. 
 
 1 Hananiah prophesieth falsely the return of the ves- 
 sels, and of Jeconiah. 5 Jeremiah, wishi?ig it to be 
 true, sheweth that the event will declare who are 
 true prophets. 10 Hananiah breaketh Jeremiah's 
 yoke. 12 Jeremiah telleth of an iron yoke, 15 and 
 foretelleth Hananiah's death. 
 
 AND °it came to pass the same year, in 
 the beginning or the reign of Zedekiah 
 king of Judah, in the fourth year, and in 
 the fifth month, that Hananiah the son of 
 Azur the prophet, who was of Gibeon, 
 spoke to me in the house of Jehovah, in 
 the presence of the priests, and of all the 
 people, saying, 
 
 2 Thus 'saith Jehovah of hosts, the God 
 of Israel, saying, I have broken 'the yoke 
 of the king of Babylon. 
 
 3 'Within ttwo 2 years will I bring again 
 into this place all the vessels of Jehovah's 
 house, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Ba- 
 bylon took away from this place, and car- 
 ried them to Babylon. 
 
 4 And I will bring again to this place 
 Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Ju- 
 dah, with all the tcaptives of Judah, who 
 went into Babylon, saith Jehovah ; for I 
 will break the yoke of the king of Babylon. 
 
 5 U Then the prophet Jeremiah said to 
 the prophet Hananiah in the presence of 
 the priests, and in the presence of all the 
 people who stood in the house of Jehovah, 
 
Hananiah , s false prophecy and death. CHAPTER XXIX. Jeremiah's letter to the captive Jews. 
 
 6 Even the prophet Jeremiah said, d3 So 
 be it: Jehovah do so: Jehovah perform 
 thy words which thou hast prophesied, to 
 bring again the vessels of Jehovah's house, 
 and all that is carried away captive, from 
 Babylon into this place. 
 
 7 Nevertheless, hear thou now this word 
 which I speak in *thy hearing, and in the 
 'hearing of all the people ; 
 
 8 The prophets who have been before me 
 and before thee of old, prophesied both 
 against many countries, and against great 
 kingdoms, of war, and of evil, and of pes- 
 tilence. 
 
 9 'The prophet who prophesieth of peace, 
 when the word of the prophet shall come 
 to pass, then shall the prophet be known, 
 that Jehovah hath truly sent him. 
 
 10 f Then Hananiah the prophet took the 
 'yoke from s the prophet Jeremiah's neck, 
 and broke it 
 
 11 And Hananiah spoke in the presence 
 of all the people, saying, Thus saith Jeho- 
 vah ; Even so will I break the yoke of 
 Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon 'from 
 the neck of all nations within the space of 
 two ' years. And the prophet Jeremiah 
 went 8 away. 
 
 12 If Then the word of Jehovah came to 
 Jeremiah 9 , after that Hananiah the pro 
 phet had broken the yoke from t0 the neck 
 of the prophet Jeremiah, saying, 
 
 13 Go and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus 
 saith Jehovah; Thou hast broken the 
 yokes of wood ; but thou shalt make "in 
 stead of them, yokes of iron. 
 
 14 For thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the 
 God of Israel ; *I have put a yoke of iron 
 upon the neck of all these nations, that 
 they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of 
 Babylon; and they shall serve him: and 
 *I have given him the beasts of the field 
 also. 
 
 15 IT Then said the prophet Jeremiah to 
 Hananiah the prophet, Hear now, Hana- 
 niah; Jehovah hath not sent thee; but 
 *thou makest this people to trust in a lie. 
 
 16 Therefore thus saith Jehovah; Be- 
 hold, I will cast thee from 1Z the face of the 
 earth: this year thou shalt die, because 
 thou hast "spoken 'trebellion against Je- 
 hovah. 
 
 17 So Hananiah the prophet died the 
 same year in the seventh month. 
 
 CHAPTER XXIX. 
 
 ! Jeremiah sendeth a letter to the captives in Baby- 
 lon, to be quiet there, 8 and not to believe the 
 dreams of their prophets, 10 and that they shall 
 return with grace after seventy years. 15 He 
 foretelleth the destruction of the rest for their dis- 
 obedience. 20 He sheweth the fearful end of Ahab 
 and Zedekiah, two lying prophets. 24 Shemaiah 
 writeth a letter against Jeremiah. 30 Jeremiah 
 readeth his doom. 
 
 NOW these are the words of the letter 
 which Jeremiah the prophet sent from 
 Jerusalem to the residue of the elders who 
 were carried away captives, and to the 
 priests, and to the prophets, and to all the 
 people whom Nebuchadnezzar had car- 
 ried away captive from Jerusalem to Ba- 
 bylon ; 
 2 (After that "Jeconiah the king, and the 
 
 Sueen, and the ||eunuchs, the princes of 
 udah and Jerusalem, and the 'artificers, 
 and the smiths, were departed from Jeru- 
 salem ;)

 3 By the hand of Elasah the son of Sha- 
 phan, and Gemariah the son of Hilkiah, 
 (whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent to 
 Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king of Ba- 
 bylon J saying, 
 
 4 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God 
 of Israel, to all who are carried away 
 captives, whom I have caused to be car- 
 ried away from Jerusalem to Babylon ; 
 
 5 *Build ye houses, and dwell m them; 
 and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of 
 them ; 
 
 6 Take ye wives, and beget sons and 
 daughters ; and take wives for your sons, 
 and give your daughters to husbands, that 
 they may bear sons and daughters; that 
 ye may be increased there, and not dimi- 
 nished. 
 
 7 And seek the prosperity of the city 
 whither I have caused you to be carried 
 away captives, 'and pray to Jehovah for 
 it : for in the 'prosperity thereof shall ye 
 have "prosperity. 
 
 8 \ For thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the 
 God of Israel ; Let not your prophets and 
 your diviners, who s are in the midst of 
 you, ''deceive you, neither hearken to your 
 dreams which ye cause to be dreamed. 
 
 9 'For they prophesy tfalsely to you in 
 my name : I have not sent them, saith 
 Jehovah. 
 
 10 f For thus saith Jehovah, That after 
 ''seventy years be accomplished 8 for Baby- 
 lon I will visit you, and perform my good 
 word 7 for you, in causing you to return to 
 this place. 
 
 11 For I know the thoughts which 1 
 think "concerning you, saith Jehovah, 
 thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give 
 you *a desirable end. 
 
 12 Then shall ye 'call upon me, and ye 
 shall go and pray to me, and I will hearken 
 to you. 
 
 13 And h ye shall seek me, and find me, 
 when ye shall search for me f with all your 
 heart. 
 
 14 And *I will be found l0 by you, saith 
 Jehovah : and I will turn "back your cap- 
 tivity, and 'I will gather you from all the 
 nations, and from all the places whither I 
 have driven you, saith Jehovah; and I will 
 bring you again into the place whence I 
 caused you to be carried away captives. 
 
 15 1f Because ye have said, Jehovah hath 
 raised us up prophets in Babylon ; 
 
 16 Know that thus saith Jehovah !2 con- 
 cerning the king who sitteth on the throne 
 of David, and "concerning all the people 
 that dwell in this city, and '"concerning 
 your brethren who are not gone forth with 
 you into captivity ; 
 
 17 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts; Behold, 
 I will send upon them the m sword, the fa- 
 mine, and the pestilence, and will make 
 them like "vile figs, which cannot be eaten, 
 they are so I5 bad. 
 
 18 And I will persecute them with the 
 sword, with the famine, and with the pes- 
 tilence, and "will "deliver them to be re- 
 moved to all the kingdoms of the earth, 
 tto be p a curse, and an astonishment, and 
 a hissing, and a reproach, among all the 
 nations whither I have driven them : 
 
 19 Because they have not hearkened to 
 my words, saith Jehovah, which «I sent to 
 them by my servants the prophets, rising 
 
 521 
 
Shemaiah's letter and doom. 
 
 up early and sending them ; but ye would 
 not hear, saith Jehovah. 
 
 20 H Hear ye therefore the word of Je- 
 hovah, all ye of the captivity, whom I have 
 6ent from Jerusalem to Babylon : 
 
 21 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God 
 of Israel, "concerning Ahab the son of 
 Kolaiah, and "concerning Zedekiah the 
 son of Maaseiah, who prophesy a lie to 
 you in my name ; Behold, I wdl deliver 
 them into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar 
 king of Babylon ; and he shall slay them 
 before your eyes ; 
 
 22 'And I9 from them shall be taken up a 
 curse by all the captivity of Judah who are 
 in Babylon, saying, Jehovah make thee 
 like Zedekiah and like Ahab, 'whom the 
 king of Babylon roasted in the fire ; 
 i 23 Because 'they have committed villany 
 
 •in Israel, and have committed adultery 
 with their neighbours' wives, and have 
 spoken lying words in my name, which I 
 have not commanded them ; ^but I know, 
 and am a witness, saith Jehovah. 
 
 24 If 77ms shalt thou also speak to She- 
 maiah the ||Nehelamite, saying, 
 
 25 Thus "saith, Jehovah of hosts, the 
 God of Israel, saying, Because thou hast 
 sent letters in thy name to all the people 
 who are at Jerusalem, "and to Zephaniah 
 the son of Maaseiah the priest, and to all 
 the priests, saying, 
 
 26 Jehovah hath made thee priest in ** 
 stead of Jehoiada the priest, that ye should 
 be officers in the house of Jehovah, 
 ^against every man who is »mad, and mak- 
 eth himself a prophet, that thou shouldest 
 'put him in prison, and in the stocks. 
 
 27 Now therefore why hast thou not re- 
 proved Jeremiah of Anathoth, who maketh 
 himself a prophet to you ? 
 
 28 For 2 * he sent to us in Babylon, say- 
 ing, This captivity is long: "build ye 
 houses, and dwell in them; and plant 
 gardens, and eat the fruit of them. 
 
 29 And Zephaniah the priest read this 
 letter in the ^hearing of Jeremiah the pro- 
 phet. 
 
 30 If Then came the word of Jehovah to 
 Jeremiah, saying, 
 
 # 31 Send to all those of the captivity, say- 
 ing, Thus saith Jehovah concerning She- 
 maiah the Nehelamite ; Because that She- 
 maiah hath prophesied to you, 'and I sent 
 him not, and he caused you to trust in 
 a lie : 
 
 32 Therefore thus saith Jehovah ; Be- 
 hold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehela- 
 mite, and his seed : he shall not have a 
 man to dwell among this people ; neither 
 shall he behold the good which I will do 
 for my people, saith Jehovah; 'because he 
 hath M spoken trebellion against Jehovah. 
 CHAPTER XXX. 
 
 1 God sheweth Jeremiah the return of the Jews. 
 4 After their trouble they shall have deliverance. 
 10 He comforteth Jacob. 18 Their return shall be 
 gracious. 20 Wrath shall fall on the wicked. 
 
 THE word which came to Jeremiah from 
 Jehovah, saying, 
 
 2 Thus speaketh Jehovah God of Israel, 
 saying, Write ' all the words which I have 
 spoken to thee in a book. 
 
 3 For lo, the days come, saith Jehovah, 
 *when "I will bring again the "captives of 
 my people Israel and Judah, saith Jeho-

 vah : 'and I will cause them to return to 
 the land which I gave to their fathers, and 
 they shall possess it. 
 
 4 1f And these are the words which Je- 
 hovah spoke concerning Israel, and con- 
 cerning Judah. 
 
 5 For thus saith Jehovah; We have heard 
 a voice of trembling, ||of 4 terror, and not 
 of peace. 
 
 6 Ask ye now, and see whether ta man 
 doth travail with child? wherefore do I 
 see every man with his hands on his loins, 
 : as a woman in travail, and all faces 5 turn- 
 ed into paleness ? 
 
 7 d Alas ! 6 that day is great, *so that 7 no 
 one is like it : it is even the time of Ja- 
 cob's trouble, but he shall be saved 9 from it. 
 
 8 For it shall come to pass in that day, 
 saith Jehovah of hosts, that I will break 
 his yoke from 9 thy neck, and will burst 
 thy bonds, and strangers shall no more 
 '"make him serve them : 
 
 9 But they shall serve Jehovah their God, 
 and 'David their king, whom I will "raise 
 up to them. 
 
 10 If Therefore *fear thou not, O my ser- 
 vant Jacob, saith Jehovah ; neither be dis- 
 mayed, O Israel : for lo, I will save thee 
 from afar, and thy seed 'from the land of 
 their captivity; and Jacob shall return, 
 and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none 
 shall make him afraid. 
 
 11 For I am with thee, saith Jehovah, to 
 save thee : 'though I make a full end of all 
 nations whither I have scattered thee, ! yet 
 will I not make a full end of thee : but I 
 will correct thee m in measure, and will not 
 leave thee altogether unpunished. 
 
 12 For thus saith Jehovah, "Thy bruise 
 is incurable, and thy wound is grievous. 
 
 13 There is "no one to plead thy cause, 
 tthat thou niayest be bound up : "thou hast 
 no healing medicines. 
 
 14 'All "thy lovers have forgotten thee; 
 they seek thee not; for I have wounded 
 thee with the wound «of an enemy, with 
 the chastisement 'of a cruel one, for the 
 greatness of thine iniquity ; 'because thy 
 sins were increased. 
 
 15 Why 'criest thou for 12 thy bruise? thy 
 'pain is incurable "through the 15 greatness 
 
 of thine iniquity : because thy sins were 
 increased, I have done these things to thee. 
 
 16 Therefore all those who devour thee 
 "shall be devoured ; and all thine adversa- 
 ries, every one of them shall go into cap- 
 tivity ; and those who spoil thee shall be a 
 spoil, and all who prey upon thee will I 
 give for a prey. 
 
 \7 'For I will restore "soundness to thee, 
 and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith 
 Jehovah; because they called thee an 
 Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no 
 man seeketh "for. 
 
 18 If Thus saith Jehovah ; Behold, "I 
 will bring again the "captives of Jacob's 
 tents, and "have 19 pity on his dwelling- 
 places ; and^the city shall be builded upon 
 her 20 ||heap, and the palace shall remain 
 21 as usual. 
 
 19 And a22 from them shall proceed thanks- 
 giving and the voice of those who M rejoice : 
 'and I will multiply them, and they shall 
 not be few ; I will also ^exalt them, and 
 they shall not be 2S low. 
 
 20 Their children also shall be e as 2B for- 
 
The restoration of Israel. 
 
 merly, and their congregation shall be esta- 
 blished before me, and I will punish all 
 who oppress them. 
 
 21 And their nobles shall be of them- 
 selves, ''and their governor shall proceed 
 from the midst of them ; and I will 'cause 
 him to draw near, and he shall approach 
 to me : for who is this ^who would pledge 
 his life to approach to me? saith Jehovah. 
 
 22 And ye shall be 'my people, and I will 
 be your God. 
 
 23 Behold, the ^whirlwind ^from Jeho- 
 vah goeth forth with fury, a "sweeping 
 whirlwind: it shall w rush upon the head 
 of the wicked. 
 
 24 The fierce anger of Jehovah shall not 
 return, until he ' shall' have done it, and 
 until he 'shall' have performed the in- 
 tentions of his heart : *in the latter days 
 ye shall Understand it perfectly. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXI. 
 
 1 The restoration of Israel. 10 The publication there- 
 of. 15 Rachel mourning is comforted. 18 Ephraim 
 repenting is brought home again. 22 Christ is 
 promised. 27 His care over the church. 31 His 
 new covenant. 35 The stability, 38 and amplitude 
 of the church. 
 
 AT "Hhat time, saith Jehovah, *will I be 
 the God of all the families of Israel, 
 and they shall be my people. 
 
 2 Thus saith Jehovah, The people who 
 were left *from the sword found 8 favour in 
 the 4 desert ; even Israel, when '1 5 went to 
 cause him to rest. 
 
 3 Jehovah hath appeared tof old to me, 
 saying, Yea, d I have loved thee with *an 
 everlasting love: therefore H with 
 kindness have I 'drawn thee. 
 
 4 Again f I will build thee, and thou shalt 
 be built, virgin of Israel : thou shalt 
 -again 6 adorn thy *tabrets, and shalt go forth 
 in the dances of those who make merry. 
 
 5 'Thou shalt yet plant vines on the moun- 
 tains of Samaria : the planters shall plant, 
 and shall teat them as common things. 
 
 6 For there shall be a day, "when the 
 watchmen on the mount Ephraim shall cry, 
 *Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion to Je- 
 hovah our God. 
 
 7 For thus saith Jehovah; 'Sing with 
 gladness for Jacob, and shout among the 
 chief of the nations : publish ye, praise ye, 
 and say, O Jehovah, save thy people, the 
 remnant of Israel. 
 
 8 Behold, I will bring them "from the 
 north country, and "gather them from the 
 Extremities of the earth, and with them 
 the blind and the lame, the woman with 
 child and her who travaileth with child 
 together: a great company shall return 
 thither. 
 
 9 "They shall come with weeping, and 
 with Hsupplications will I lead them; I 
 will cause them to walk p,0 to the rivers of 
 waters in a straight way, wherein they 
 shall not stumble : for I am a father to Is- 
 rael, and Ephraim is my «first-born. 
 
 10 If Hear the word of Jehovah, O ye 
 nations, and declare it in the "coasts afar 
 off, and say, He who scattered Israel r will 
 
 father him, and keep him, as a shepherd 
 oth his flock. 
 
 11 For 'Jehovah hath redeemed Jacob, 
 and ransomed him 'from the hand of him 
 who was stronger than he. 
 
 12 Therefore they shall come and sing

 on "the height of Zion, and shall I2 exult in 
 *the goodness of JehovAh, for wheat, and 
 for 'new' wine, and for 'fresh' oil, and for 
 the young of the flock and of the herd : 
 and their soul shall be 13 like a "watered 
 garden; r and they shall not sorrow any 
 more at all. 
 
 13 Then shall the virgin rejoice in the 
 dance, both young men and old together ; 
 for I will turn their mourning into joy, and 
 will comfort them, and make them rejoice 
 "after their sorrow. 
 
 14 And I will "satisfy the soul of the 
 priests with fatness, and my people shall 
 be satisfied with my goodness, saith Je- 
 hovah. 
 
 15 If Thus saith Jehovah ; "A voice was 
 heard in *Ramah, lamentation, and bitter 
 weeping; Rachel weeping for her children 
 refused to be comforted for her children, 
 because they l6 are no more. 
 
 16 Thus saith Jehovah ; Refrain thy voice 
 from weeping, and thine eyes from tears : 
 for thy work shall be rewarded, saith Je- 
 hovah; and they shall come again from 
 the land of the enemy. 
 
 17 And there is hope 17 for thy future days, 
 saith Jehovah, w for thy children shall come 
 again to their own border. 
 
 18 If I have surely heard Ephraim be- 
 moaning himself thus ; Thou hast chastis- 
 ed me, and I was chastised, as 19 an un- 
 broken bullock : turn thou me, and I shall 
 be turned ; for thou art Jehovah my God. 
 
 19 Surely Mter that I was turned, I re- 
 pented ; and after that I was instructed, I 
 smote upon my thigh : I was ashamed, 
 yea, even confounded, because I did bear 
 the reproach of my youth. 
 
 20 Is Ephraim my dear son ? is he a plea- 
 sant child ? for since I spoke against him, 
 I do earnestly remember him still : there- 
 fore my ^mind is troubled for him; *I will 
 surely have mercy on him, saith Jehovah. 
 
 21 Set thyself up way -marks, make thy- 
 self "pillars : 'set thy heart towards the 
 highway, even the way which thou wentest : 
 turn again, O virgin of Israel, turn again 
 to these thy cities. 
 
 22 If How long wilt thou *go about, O 
 thou 'backsliding daughter ? for Jehovah 
 hath created a new thing in the earth, A 
 woman shall ^encompass a man. 
 
 23 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God 
 of Israel ; As yet they shall use this speech 
 in the land of Judah and in the cities there- 
 of, when I shall bring again their ^captives ; 
 
 Jehovah bless thee, O habitation of jus- 
 tice, n2i O mountain of holiness. 
 
 24 And there shall dwell in Judah itself, 
 and °in all the cities thereof together, hus- 
 bandmen, and they that go forth with flocks. 
 
 25 For I have ^refreshed the weary soul, 
 and I have ^filled every sorrowful soul. 
 
 26 Upon this I "awoke, and beheld; and 
 my sleep was sweet to me. 
 
 27 If Behold, the days come, saith Jeho- 
 vah, M when P I will sow the house of Israel 
 and the house of Judah with the seed of 
 man, and with the seed of beast. 
 
 28 And it shall come to pass, that M as I 
 have 'watched over them, to pluck up, and 
 to break down, and to throw down, and to 
 destroy, and to afflict; so will I watch over 
 them, *to build and to plant, saith Jehovah. 
 
 29 'In those days they shall say no more, 
 
 525 
 
'"when I will make a new covenant 
 the house of Israel, and with the 
 
 God's care for his church. 
 
 The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and 
 the children's teeth are set on edge. 
 SO "But every one shall die for his own 
 iniquity : every man who eateth the sour 
 grape, his teeth shall be set on edge. 
 
 31 ^J Behold, the Mays come, saith Jeho- 
 vah, ~ 
 with 
 house of Judah 
 
 32 Not s 'like the covenant which I made 
 with their fathers, in the day x when V I 
 took them by the hand to bring them '"from 
 the land of Egypt ; which ** covenant ' of 
 mine' they broke, ||although I was a hus- 
 band to them, saith Jehovah : 
 
 33 *But this shall be the covenant which 
 I will make with the house of Israel ; After 
 those days, saith Jehovah, °I will put my 
 law in their inward parts, and write it on 
 their hearts ; *and will be their God, and 
 they shall be my people. 
 
 34 And they shall no more teach every 
 man his neighbour, and every man his bro- 
 ther, saying, Know Jehovah: for 'they 
 shall all know me, from the least of them 
 to the greatest of them, saith Jehovah : for 
 *l will forgive their iniquity, and I will 
 remember their sin no more. 
 
 35 "ft Thus saith Jehovah, 'who giveth the 
 sun for a light by day, and the ordinances 
 of the moon and of the stars for a light by 
 night, who divideth 'the sea when the 
 waves thereof roar ; ^Jehovah of hosts is 
 his name : 
 
 36 *If those ordinances depart from be- 
 fore me, saith Jehovah, then the seed of 
 Israel also shall cease from being a nation 
 before me for ever. 
 
 37 Thus saith Jehovah; 'If heaven above 
 can be measured, and the foundations of 
 the earth searched out beneath, I will also 
 cast off all the seed of Israel for all which 
 they have done, saith Jehovah. 
 
 38 H Behold, the days come, saith Jeho- 
 vah, M when the city shall be built to Jeho- 
 vah *from the tower of Hananeel to the 
 gate of the corner. 
 
 39 And 'the measuring line shall yet go 
 forth over against it upon the hill Gareb, 
 and shall ^reach to Goath. 
 
 40 And the whole valley of the dead 
 bodies, and of the ashes, and all the fields 
 to the brook of Kidron, m to the corner of 
 the horse-gate towards the east, "shall be 
 holy to Jehovah ; it shall not be plucked 
 up, nor thrown down any more for ever. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXII. 
 
 1 Jeremiah, being imprisoned by Zedekiah for his 
 prophecy, 6 buyeth HanameeVs field. 13 Baruch 
 must preserve the evidences, as tokens of the peo- 
 ple's return. 16 Jeremiah in his prayer complain- 
 eth to God. 26 God confirmeth the captivity for 
 their sins, 36 and promiseth a gracious return. 
 
 THE word which came to Jeremiah from 
 Jehovah °in the tenth year of Zedeki- 
 ah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth 
 year of Nebuchadrezzar. 
 
 2 For then the king of Babylon's army be- 
 sieged Jerusalem: and Jeremiah the prophet 
 was shut up Hn the court of the prison, 
 which was in the king of Judah's house. 
 
 3 For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut 
 him up, saying, Wherefore dost thou pro- 
 
 Shesy, and say, Thus saith Jehovah, c Be- 
 old, I will give this city into the hand of 
 the king of Babylon, and he shall take it j

 Jeremiah buyeth HanameeVs field, 
 
 4 And Zedekiah « the' king of Judah d shall 
 not escape 'from the hand of the Chalde- 
 ans, but shall surely be delivered into the 
 hand of the king of Babylon, and ' he' shall 
 speak with him mouth to mouth, and his 
 eyes shall behold his eyes ; 
 
 5 And he shall lead Zedekiah to Baby- 
 lon, and there shall he be 'until I visit him, 
 saith Jehovah : 'though ye fight with the 
 Chaldeans, ye shall not prosper i 
 
 6 If And Jeremiah said, The word of Je- 
 hovah came to me, saying, 
 
 7 Behold, Hanameel, the son of Shallum 
 thine uncle, 2 will come to thee, saying, 
 Buy for thyself my field that is in Ana- 
 thoth : for the s right of redemption is thine 
 to buy it. 
 
 8 So Hanameel mine uncle's son came to 
 me in the court of the prison, according to 
 the word of Jehovah, and said to me, Buy 
 my field, I pray thee, that is in Anathoth, 
 which is in the country of Benjamin : for 
 the right of inheritance is thine, and the 
 redemption is thine; buy it for thyself. 
 Then I knew that this was the word of 
 Jehovah. 
 
 9 And I bought the field of Hanameel 
 mine uncle's son, that was in Anathoth, 
 and "weighed him the money, even ||seven- 
 teen shekels of silver. 
 
 10 And I t 4 wrote the deed, and sealed it, 
 and took witnesses, and weighed him the 
 money in the balances. 
 
 11 So I took the Meed of the purchase, 
 both that which was sealed according to 
 the law and custom, and that which was 
 open: 
 
 12 And I gave the 6 deed of the purchase 
 to 'Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of 
 Maaseiah, in the sight of Hanameel mine 
 uncle's son, and in the presence of the 
 *witnesses that subscribed the 7 deed of the 
 purchase, before all the Jews who sat in 
 the court of the prison. 
 
 13 1f And I charged Baruch before them, 
 saying, 
 
 14 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God 
 of Israel ; Take these Meeds, this Meed 
 of the purchase, both 'that' which is 
 sealed, and this 'Meed which is open ; and 
 put them in an earthen vessel, that they 
 may "last many days. 
 
 15 For thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the 
 God of Israel ; Houses and fields and vine- 
 yards 'shall be "bought again in this land. 
 
 16 H Now when I had delivered the 
 'Meed of the purchase to Baruch the son 
 of Neriah, I prayed to Jehovah, saying, 
 
 17 Ah Lord Jehovah ! behold, m thou hast 
 made the heaven and the earth by thy great 
 power and stretched out arm, and "there 
 is nothing ||too hard for thee : 
 
 18 Thou shewest ° "kindness to thousands, 
 and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers 
 into the bosom of their chddren after them : 
 The Great, 'The Mighty God, 'Jehovah 
 of hosts, is his name ; 
 
 19 'Great in counsel, and mighty intwork : 
 for thine 'eyes are open upon all the ways 
 of the sons of men; 'to give every one ac- 
 cording to his ways, and according to the 
 fruit of his doings : 
 
 20 Who hast set signs and wonders in 
 the land of Egypt, even to this day, and 
 in Israel, and among other men ; and hast 
 made "thyself "famous, as at this day; 
 
tlocPs threats against Judah. 
 
 21 And *hast brought forth thy people 
 Israel l8 from the land of Egypt with signs, 
 and with wonders, and with a strong 
 hand, and with a stretched out arm, and 
 with great terror ; 
 
 22 And hast given them this land, which 
 thou didst swear to their fathers to give 
 them, "a land flowing with milk and 
 honey ; 
 
 23 And they came in, and possessed it ; 
 but 'they obeyed not thy voice, neither 
 walked in thy law; they have done no- 
 thing of all that ' which' thou command - 
 edst them to do: therefore thou hast 
 caused all this evil to come upon them: 
 
 24 Behold the ||mounts, they are come to 
 the city to take it; and the city °is given 
 into the hand of the Chaldeans, who fight 
 against it, "by means of *the sword, and 
 of the famine, and of the pestilence: and 
 what thou hast spoken l *hath come to pass; 
 and behold, thou seest it. 
 
 25 And thou hast said to me, O Lord 
 Jehovah, Buy I9 for thyself the field for 
 money, and take witnesses ; ^though "the 
 city is given into the hand of the Chal- 
 deans. 
 
 26 *[ Then came the word of Jehovah to 
 Jeremiah, saying, 
 
 2.7 Behold, I am Jehovah, the rf God of all 
 flesh : 'is there any thing too hard for me ? 
 
 28 Therefore thus saith Jehovah ; Behold, 
 { I will give this city into the hand of the 
 Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebu- 
 chadrezzar king of Babylon, and he shall 
 take it : 
 
 29 And the Chaldeans, who fight against 
 this city, shall come and ? set "this city on 
 fire, and burn it with the houses, *on whose 
 roofs they have offered incense to Baal, and 
 poured out drink-offerings to other gods, 
 to provoke me 22 . 
 
 30 For the children of Israel and the 
 children of Judah 'have only done evil 
 before me from their youth : for the child- 
 ren of Israel have only provoked me M 
 with the work of their hands, saith Jeho- 
 vah. 
 
 31 For this city hath been to me u ta pro- 
 vocation of mine anger and of my fury 
 from the day 25 when they built it even to 
 this day; Hhat I should remove it from 
 before rny face, 
 
 32 Because of all the evil of the children 
 of Israel and of the children of Judah, 
 which they have done to provoke me 26 , 
 'they, their kings, their princes, their 
 priests, and their prophets, and the men 
 of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem 
 
 33 "For they have turned to me the 
 t m back, and not the face : though 1 taught 
 them, "rising up early and teaching them, 
 yet they have not hearkened to receive 
 instruction. 
 
 34 But they "set their abominations in 
 the house which is called by my name, to 
 defile it. 
 
 35 And they ' have' built the high places 
 of Baal, which are in the valley of the son 
 of Hinnom, to 'cause their sons and their 
 daughters to pass through the fire to 'Mo- 
 lech ; 'which 1 commanded them not, nei- 
 ther came it into my mind, that they 
 should do this abomination, to cause 
 Judah to sin.

 CHAPTER XXXIII. God reneweth his promise to the Jews. 
 
 the God of Israel, concerning this city, 
 whereof ye say, 'It '"is delivered into the 
 hand of trie king of Babylon by the sword, 
 and by the famine, and by the pestilence ; 
 
 37 Behold, I will "gather them 3l from all 
 countries, whither 1 have driven them in 
 mine anger, and in my fury, and in great 
 wrath ; and I will bring them again to this 
 place, and I will cause them "to dwell 
 safely : 
 
 38 And they shall be x my people and I 
 will be their God : 
 
 39 And I will "give them one heart and 
 one way, that they may fear me tfor ever, 
 a for their good, and ' that' of their children 
 after them : 
 
 40 And 'I will make an everlasting cove- 
 nant with them, that I will not turn away 
 tfrom them, to do them good ; but °I will 
 put my fear in their hearts, ' so' that they 
 shall not depart from me. 
 
 41 Yea, 1 will rejoice over them to do 
 them good, and C I will plant them in this 
 land tassuredly with my whole heart and 
 with my whole soul. 
 
 42 For thus saith Jehovah ; d33 As I have 
 brought all this great evil upon this people, 
 so will I bring upon them all the good 
 which I have promised them. 
 
 43 And 'fields shall be bought in this 
 land, Avhereof ye say, It is desolate with- 
 out man or beast ; it is given into the hand 
 of the Chaldeans. 
 
 44 Men shall buy fields for money, and 
 '"write deeds, and seal them, and take 
 witnesses in the land of Benjamin, and 
 in the places about Jerusalem, and in the 
 cities of Judah, and in the cities of the 
 mountains, and in the cities of the valley, 
 and in the cities of the south : for 'I will 
 cause their ^captives to return, saith Je- 
 hovah. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXIII. 
 
 1 God promiseth to the captivity a gracious return, 
 9 a joyful state, 12 a settled government, 15 Christ 
 the Branch of righteousness, 17 a continuance of 
 kingdom and priesthood, 20 and a stability of a 
 blessed seed. 
 
 MOREOVER the word of Jehovah 
 came to Jeremiah the second time, 
 while he was yet "shut up in the court of 
 the prison, saying, 
 
 2 Thus saith Jehovah the 'maker there- 
 of, Jehovah who formed it, to establish it; 
 || 'Jehovah is his name ; 
 
 3 d Call to me, and I will answer thee, 
 and shew thee great and 'hidden things, 
 which thou knowest not. 
 
 4 For thus saith Jehovah, the God of Is- 
 rael, concerning the houses of this city, 
 and concerning the houses of the kings of 
 Judah, which are thrown down by 'the 
 mounts, and by the sword ; 
 
 5 -They come to fight 2 even the Chal- 
 deans, but it is to fill them with the dead 
 bodies of men, whom I have slain in mine 
 anger and in my fury, and for all whose 
 wickedness I have hidden my face from 
 this city. 
 
 6 Behold, e l will bring it 'healing and 
 cure, and I will cure them, and will re- 
 veal to them the abundance of prosperity 
 and stability. 
 
 7 And *I will cause the 'captives of Judah 
 and the "captives of Israel to return, and 
 will build them, 'as at 7 first.

 8 And I will "cleanse them from all their

 against me; and I will 'pardon all their 
 iniquities, 9 by which they have sinned, 
 and 10 by which they have transgressed 
 against me. 
 
 9 If m And it shall be to me a name of 
 joy, a praise and an honour, before all the 
 nations of the earth, who shall hear 'of 
 all the good which I do to them: and they 
 shall "fear and tremble for all the good- 
 ness and for all the prosperity which I 
 procure "for it. 
 
 10 Thus saith Jehovah; Again there 
 shall be heard in this place, "which ye say 
 n will be desolate without man and with- 
 out beast, even in the cities of Judah, and 
 in the streets of Jerusalem, which are de- 
 solate, without man, and without inhabit- 
 ant, and without beast, 
 
 11 The p voice of joy, and the voice of 
 gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and 
 the voice of the bride, the voice of those 
 who shall say, 'Praise Jehovah of hosts : 
 for Jehovah is good ; for his "kindness 
 endureth for ever : and of those who shall 
 bring the sacrifice of praise into the house 
 of Jehovah. For *I will cause 14 the cap- 
 tives of the land to return, as at I5 first, 
 saith Jehovah. 
 
 12 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts ; 'Again 
 in this place, which is desolate without 
 man and without beast, and in all the 
 cities thereof, shall be a habitation of 
 shepherds causing their flocks to lie down. 
 
 13 "In the cities of the mountains, in the 
 cities of the vale, and in the cities of the 
 south, and in the land of Benjamin, and 
 in the places about Jerusalem, and in the 
 cities of Judah, shall the flocks *pass again 
 under the -hands of him who "counteth 
 them, saith Jehovah. 
 
 14 "Behold, the days come, saith Jeho- 
 vah, "when *I will perform that good thing 
 which I have promised to the house of 
 Israel and to the house of Judah. 
 
 15 If In those days, and at that time, will 
 I cause the "Branch of righteousness to 
 grow up to David; and he shall execute 
 "justice and "equity in the land. 
 
 16 'In those days shall Judah be saved, 
 and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and 
 M this is the name wherewith she shall be 
 called, tJEHOVAH our Righteousness. 
 
 17 1f For thus saith Jehovah ; tDavid 
 shall never 'want a man to sit on the throne 
 of the house of Israel ; 
 
 18 Neither shall the priests the Levites 
 want a man before me to ''offer burnt-offer- 
 ings, and to kindle 21 meal-off'erings, and to 
 ^perform sacrifice continually. 
 
 19 If And the word of Jehovah came to 
 Jeremiah, saying, 
 
 20 Thus saith the Lord ; "If ye can break 
 my covenant of the day, and my covenant 
 of the night, 23 even ' so' that there 24 shall 
 not be day and night in their season ; 
 
 21 Tlien may also r my covenant be broken 
 with David my servant, 'so' that he 25 shall 
 not have a son to reign on his throne; and 
 with the Levites the priests, my ministers. 
 
 22 As f the host of heaven cannot be 
 numbered, neither the sand of the sea 
 measured : so will I multiply the seed of 
 David my servant, and the Levites who 
 minister to me,

 23 Moreover the word of the Lord came 
 to Jeremiah, saying, 
 
 24 Considerest thou not what this people 
 have spoken, saying, "The two families 
 which Jehovah ^had chosen, he hath even 
 cast them off"? thus they have despised my 
 people, that they should be no more a na- 
 tion before them. 
 
 25 Thus saith Jehovah ; If 'my covenant 
 be not with day and night, and if I have 
 not "appointed the ordinances ot heaven 
 and earth ; 
 
 26 'Then will I cast away the seed of 
 Jacob, and David my servant, so that I 
 will not take any of his seed to be rulers 
 over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Ja- 
 cob: for m I will cause their "captives to 
 return, and have mercy on them. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXIV. 
 
 1 Jeremiah prophesieth the captivity of Zedekiah and 
 the city. 8 The princes and the people having dis- 
 missed their bond-servants, contrary to the cove- 
 nant of God, reassume them. 12 Jeremiah, for 
 their disobedience, giveth them and Zedekiah into 
 the hands of their enemies. 
 
 THE word which came to Jeremiah from 
 Jehovah, "when Nebuchadnezzar 
 king of Babylon, and all his army, and 
 6 all the kingdoms of the earth tof his do- 
 minion, and all the people fought against 
 Jerusalem, and against all the cities there- 
 of, saying, 
 
 2 Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel ; 
 Go and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, 
 and tell him, Thus saith Jehovah; Behold, 
 C I will give this city into the hand of the 
 king of Babylon, and d he shall burn it 
 with fire : 
 
 3 And 'thou shalt not escape out of his 
 hand, but shalt surely be taken, and de- 
 livered into his hand ; and thine eyes shall 
 behold the eyes of the king of Babylon, 
 and the shall speak with thee mouth to 
 mouth, and thou shalt go to Babylon. 
 
 4 Yet hear the word of Jehovah, O Ze- 
 dekiah king of Judah ; Thus saith Jeho- 
 vah 'concerning thee, Thou shalt not die 
 by the sword : 
 
 5 But thou shalt die in peace : and *like 
 / the burnings of thy fathers, the former 
 kings who were before thee, ? so shall they 
 burn odours for thee ; and "they will la- 
 ment thee, saying, Ah lord ! for I have 
 pronounced the word, saith Jehovah. 
 
 6 Then Jeremiah the prophet spoke all 
 these words to Zedekiah king of Judah in 
 Jerusalem, 
 
 7 When the king of Babylon's army 
 fought against Jerusalem, and against all 
 the cities of Judah which were left, against 
 Lachish, and against Azekah: for 'these 
 'fortified cities remained of the cities of 
 Judah. 
 
 8 <Jf Tliis is the word which came to Je- 
 remiah from Jehovah, after * king Zede- 
 kiah had made a covenant with all the 
 people who were at Jerusalem, to proclaim 
 "liberty to them ; 
 
 9 'That every man should let his man- 
 servant, and every man his maid-servant, 
 being a Hebrew or a Hebrewess, go free ; 
 ""that 5 no one should keep his brother, a 
 Jew, in servitude. 
 
 10 Now when all the princes, and all the 
 people who had entered into the covenant, 
 heard that every one should let his man 
 
The overthrow of Judah. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXV. 
 
 servant, and every one his maid-servant, 
 go free, that none should 6 keep them in 
 servitude any more, then they obeyed, 
 and let them go. 
 
 11 But "afterwards they turned, and 
 caused the servants and the handmaids, 
 whom they had let go free, to return, and 
 brought them into subjection for servants 
 and for handmaids. 
 
 12 U Therefore the word of Jehovah came 
 to Jeremiah, from Jehovah, saying, 
 
 13 Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel ; 
 I made a covenant with your fathers in the 
 day 7 when I brought them forth "from the 
 land of Egypt, 9 from the house of bond- 
 men, saying, 
 
 14 At the end of "seven years, let ye go 
 every man his brother a Hebrew, who 
 Jlhath been sold to thee; and when he 
 hath served thee six years, thou shalt let 
 him go free from thee; but your fathers 
 hearkened not to me, neither inclined 
 their ear. 
 
 15 And ye l0 had tnow turned, and had 
 done right in my sight, in proclaiming 
 liberty every man to his neighbour; and 
 ye had 'made a covenant before me *in 
 the house twhich is called by my name : 
 
 16 "Then ye turned and 'polluted my 
 name, and caused every man his servant, 
 and every man his handmaid, whom he 
 had set at liberty at their pleasure, to re- 
 turn, and brought them into subjection, to 
 be to you for servants and for handmaids. 
 
 17 Therefore thus saith Jehovah; Ye 
 liave not hearkened to me, "by proclaim- 
 ing liberty, every one to his brother, and 
 every man to his neighbour: 'behold, I 
 proclaim a liberty for you, saith Jehovah, 
 ' to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the 
 famine ; and I will '^cause you tto be "re- 
 moved into all the kingdoms of the earth 
 
 18 And I will give the men who have 
 transgressed my covenant, who have not 
 performed the words of the covenant which 
 they had made before me, when 'they cut 
 the calf in "two parts, and passed between 
 the parts thereof, 
 
 19 The princes of Judah, and the princes 
 of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests, 
 and all the people of the land, who passed 
 between the parts of the calf; 
 
 20 I will even give them into the hand 
 of their enemies, and into the hand of 
 those who seek their life : and their "dead 
 bodies shall be for meat to the fowls of the 
 heaven, and to the beasts of the earth. 
 
 21 And Zedekiah king of Judah and his 
 princes will I give into the hand of their 
 enemies, and into the hand of those who 
 seek their life, and into the hand of the 
 king of Babylon's army, * which 15 hath 
 gone up from you. 
 
 22 "Behold, 1 will command, saith Jeho- 
 vah, and cause them to return to this city; 
 and they shall fight against it, 'and take it, 
 and burn it with fire: and C I will make the 
 cities of Judah a desolation without an in 
 habitant.

 The obedience of the Rechabites. 
 
 2 Go to the house of the "Rechabites, and 
 speak to them, and bring them into the 
 house of Jehovah, into one of 'the cham- 
 bers, and give them wine to drink. 
 
 3 Then itook Jaazaniah the son of Jere- 
 miah, the son of Habaziniah, and his bre- 
 thren, and all his sons, and the whole house 
 of the Rechabites ; 
 
 4 And I brought them into the house of 
 Jehovah, into the chamber of the sons of 
 Hanan, the son of Igdaliah, a man of God, 
 whicli was by the chamber of the princes, 
 which was above the chamber of Maaseiah 
 the son of Shallum, 'the keeper of the 
 tdoor : 
 
 5 And I set before the sons of the house 
 of the Rechabites, pots full of wine, and 
 cups, and I said to them, Drink ' wine. 
 
 6 But they said, We will drink no wine: 
 for ''Jonadab the son of Rechab our father 
 commanded us, saying, Ye shall drink no 
 wine, neither ye, nor your sons for ever : 
 
 7 Neither shall ye build house, nor sow 
 seed, nor plant vineyard, nor have any: 
 but all your days ye shall dwell in tents ; 
 •that ye may live many days in the land 
 where ye 2 are strangers. 
 
 8 3 And we have obeyed the voice of Jo- 
 nadab the son of Rechab our father in all 
 that he hath charged us, to drink no wine 
 all our days, we, our wives, our sons, nor 
 our daughters ; 
 
 9 Nor to build 'ourselves' houses 4 to 
 dwell in: neither have we vineyard, nor 
 field, nor seed : 
 
 10 But we have dwelt in tents, and have 
 obeyed, and done according to all that 
 Jonadab our father commanded us. 
 
 11 But it came to pass, when Nebuchad- 
 rezzar king of Babylon came up into the 
 land, that we said, Come, and let us go to 
 Jerusalem 6 from before the army of the 
 Chaldeans, and 6 from before the army of 
 the Syrians : so we dwell at Jerusalem. 
 
 12 f Then came the word of Jehovah to 
 Jeremiah, saying, 
 
 13 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God 
 of Israel ; Go and tell the men of Judah 
 and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Will ye 
 not f receive instruction to hearken to my 
 words ? saith Jehovah. 
 
 14 The words of Jonadab the son of Re- 
 chab, 7 by which he commanded his sons 
 not to drink wine, are performed ; for to 
 this day they drink none, but obey their fa- 
 ther's commandment: * 8 and I have spoken 
 to you, *rising early and speaking; but ye 
 hearkened not to me. 
 
 15*1 have sent also to you all my servants 
 the prophets, rising 9 early and sending 
 them, saying, *Return ye now every man 
 from his evil way, and amend your doings, 
 and go not after other gods to serve them, 
 and ye shall dwell in the land which I 
 have given to you and to your fathers : but 
 ye have not inclined your ear, nor heark- 
 ened to me. 
 
 16 10 Now since the sons of Jonadab the 
 son of Rechab have performed the com- 
 mandment of their father, which he com- 
 manded them; but this people hath not 
 hearkened to me : 
 
 17 Therefore thus saith Jehovah God of 
 hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will 
 bring upon Judah and upon all the inha- 
 bitants of Jerusalem all the evil which I 
 
 527 
 
Baruch writeth Jeremiah's prophecy. 
 
 have pronounced against them; 'because 
 I have spoken to them, but they have not 
 heard; and I have called to them, but they 
 have not answered. 
 
 18 f And Jeremiah said to the house of 
 the Rechabites, Thus saith Jehovah of 
 hosts, the God of Israel; Because ye 
 have obeyed the commandment of Jona- 
 dab your father, and kept all his precepts, 
 and done according to all which he hath 
 commanded you : 
 
 19 Therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts, 
 the God of Israel ; t Jonadab the son of 
 Rechab shall "never want a man to "stand 
 before me 12 . 
 
 CHAPTER XXXVI. 
 
 1 Jeremiah causeth Baruch to write his prophecy, 
 5 and publicly to read it. 1 1 Tlie princes, having 
 intelligence thereof by Michaiah, send Jehudi to 
 fetch the roll, and read it. 19 They will Baruch to 
 hide himself and Jeremiah. 20 The king Jehoia- 
 kim, being Hnformed thereof, heareth part of it, 
 and burneth the roll. 27 Jeremiah denounceth his 
 judgment. 32 Baruch writeth a new copy. 
 
 AND it came to pass in the fourth year 
 of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king 
 of Judah, that this word came to Jeremiah 
 from Jehovah, saying, 
 
 2 Take thyself a "roll of a book, and 
 'write therein all the words which I have 
 spoken to thee against Israel, and against 
 Judah, and against 'all the nations, from 
 the day I spoke to thee, from the days of 
 d Josiah, even to this day. 
 
 3 e It may be that the house of Judah will 
 hear all the evil which I purpose to do to 
 them; that they may ^return every man 
 from his evil way; that I may forgive their 
 iniquity and their sin. 
 
 4 Then Jeremiah ^called Baruch the son 
 of Neriah : and "Baruch wrote from the 
 mouth of Jeremiah all the words of Jeho- 
 vah, which he had spoken to him, 2 in a roll 
 of a book. 
 
 5 And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, 
 saying, I am shut up, I cannot go into the 
 house of Jehovah : 
 
 6 Therefore go thou and read in the roll, 
 which thou hast written from my mouth, 
 the words of Jehovah in the 3 hearing of 
 the people in Jehovah's house on 'the 
 ^feast-day : and also thou shalt read them 
 in the ^hearing of all Judah that come 6 from 
 their cities. 
 
 7 *It may be tthey will present their sup- 
 plication before Jehovah, and will return 
 every one from his evil way : for great is 
 the anger and the fury which Jehovah 
 hath pronounced against this people. 
 
 8 And Baruch the son of Neriah did ac- 
 cording to all which Jeremiah the prophet 
 commanded him, reading in the book the 
 words of Jehovah in Jehovah's house. 
 
 9 And it came to pass in the fifth year of 
 Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, 
 in the ninth month, that they proclaimed 
 a fast before Jehovah to all the people in 
 Jerusalem, and to all the people who came 
 from the cities of Judah to Jerusalem. 
 
 10 Then read Baruch in the book the 
 words of Jeremiah in the house of Jeho- 
 vah, in the chamber of Gemariah the son 
 of Shaphan the scribe, in the higher court, 
 
 . at the |] "entrance of the new gate of Je- 
 hovah's house, in the s hearing of all the 
 people.

 II Or, of the 
 king. 
 
 'The king burneth the roil. 
 
 riah, the son of Shaphan, had heard 9 from 
 the book all the words of Jehovah, 
 
 12 Then he went down into the king's 
 house, into the scribe's chamber : and lo, 
 all the princes sat there, even Elishama 
 the scribe, and Delaiah the son of Shema- 
 iah, and Elnathan the son of Achbor, and 
 Gemariah the son of Shaphan, and Zede- 
 kiah the son of Hananiah, and all the 
 princes. 
 
 13 Then Michaiah declared to them all 
 the words which he had heard, when Ba- 
 ruch read the book in the '"hearing of the 
 people. 
 
 14 Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi 
 the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, 
 the son of Cuslii, to Baruch, saying, Take 
 in thy hand the roll wherein thou hast read 
 in the "hearing of the people, and come. 
 So Baruch the son of Neriau took the roll 
 in his hand, and came to them. 
 
 15 And they said to him, Sit down now, 
 and read it in our "hearing. So Baruch 
 read it in their 13 hearing. 
 
 16 Now it came to pass, when they had 
 heard all the words, "every one was afraid, 
 and said to Baruch, We will surely tell 
 the king all these words. 
 
 17 And they asked Baruch, saying, Tell 
 us now, How didst thou write all these 
 words I6 from his mouth ? 
 
 18 Then Baruch answered them, He 
 pronounced all these words to me with 
 his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in 
 the book. 
 
 19 Then said the princes to Baruch, Go 
 hide thyself, thou and Jeremiah ; and let 
 no man know where ye ,6 are. 
 
 20 If And they went in to the king into 
 the court, but they laid up the roll in the 
 chamber of Elishama the scribe, and told 
 all the words in the 17 hearing of the king. 
 
 21 So the king sent Jehudi to fetch the 
 roll : and he took it out of ,8 the chamber 
 of Elishama the scribe. And Jehudi read 
 it in the "hearing of the king, and in the 
 20 hearing of all the princes who stood be- 
 side the king. 
 
 22 Now the king satin "the winter -house 
 in the ninth month : and there was a fire 
 2I in a brasier burning before him. 
 
 23 And it came to pass, B when Jehudi 
 had read three or four ^columns, he cut it 
 with the penknife, and cast it into the fire 
 that was M in the brasier, until all the roll 
 was consumed in the fire that was "in the 
 brasier. 
 
 24 Yet they were not afraid, nor "rent 
 their garments, neither the king, nor any 
 of his servants who heard all these words. 
 
 25 Nevertheless Elnathan and Delaiah 
 and Gemariah had made intercession to 
 the king that he would not burn the roll : 
 but he would not hear them. 
 
 26 But the king commanded Jerahmeel 
 the son ||of Hammelech, and Seraiah the 
 son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of 
 Abdeel, to take Baruch the scribe and 
 Jeremiah the prophet: but Jehovah hid 
 them. 
 
 27 Tf Then the word of Jehovah came 
 to Jeremiah, after that the king had burn- 
 ed the roll, and the words which Baruch 
 wrote ^from the mouth of Jeremiah, saying, 
 
 28 Take thyself again another roll, and 
 write in it all the former words which were 
 
The Chaldeans' 1 prophesied. 
 
 in the first roll, which Jehoiakim king of 
 Judah hath burned. 
 
 29 And thou shalt say to Jehoiakim king 
 of Judah, Thus saith Jehovah ; Thou hast 
 burned this roll, saying, Why hast thou 
 written therein, saying, The king of Ba- 
 bylon shall certainly come and destroy 
 this land, and shall cause to cease from 
 thence man and beast ? 
 
 30 Therefore thus saith Jehovah "con- 
 cerning Jehoiakim king of Judah; "He 
 shall have M no one to sit on the throne of 
 David : and his dead body shall be p cast 
 out in the day to the heat, and in the night 
 to the frost. 
 
 31 And I will tpunish him and his seed 
 and his servants for their iniquity ; and I 
 will bring upon them, and upon the inha- 
 bitants of Jerusalem, and upon the men of 
 Judah, all the evil which I have pronounc- 
 ed against them ; but they hearkened not. 
 
 32 If Then Jeremiah took another roll, 
 and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son 
 of Neriah ; who wrote therein from the 
 mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the 
 book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had 
 burned in the fire : and there were added 
 besides to them many tlike words. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXVII. 
 
 1 The Egyptians having raised the siege of the Chal- 
 deans, king Zedekiah sendeth to Jeremiah to pray 
 for the people. 6 Jeremiah prophesieth the Chal- 
 deans' certain return and victory. 1 1 He is taken 
 for a fugitive, beaten, and put in prison. 16 He 
 assureth Zedekiah of the captivity. 18 Entreating 
 for his liberty, he obtaineth some favour. 
 
 AND king "Zedekiah the son of Josiah 
 reigned instead of Coniah the son of 
 Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadrezzar king 
 of Babylon made king in the land of Ju- 
 dah. 
 
 2 'But neither he, nor his servants, nor 
 the people of the land, did hearken to the 
 words of- Jehovah, which he spoke tby the 
 prophet Jeremiah. 
 
 3 And Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal 
 the son of Shelemiah, and c Zephaniah the 
 son of Maaseiah the priest to the prophet 
 Jeremiah, saying, Pray now to Jehovah 
 our God for us. 
 
 4 Now Jeremiah came in and went out 
 among the people: for they had not put 
 him in prison. 
 
 5 'Ana ''Pharaoh's army 2 had come forth 
 3 from Egypt: 'and when the Chaldeans 
 who besieged Jerusalem heard tidings of 
 them, they departed from Jerusalem. 
 
 6 f Then came the word of Jehovah to 
 the prophet Jeremiah, saying, 
 
 7 Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel ; 
 Thus shall ye say to the king of Judah, 
 'who sent you to me to inquire of ine ; 
 Behold, Pharaoh's army, which is come 
 forth to help you, shall return to Egypt 
 into their own land. 
 
 8 g And the Chaldeans shall come again, 
 and fight against this city, and take it, and 
 burn it with fire. 
 
 9 Thus saith Jehovah ; Deceive not tyour- 
 selves, saying, The Chaldeans 4 will sure- 
 ly depart from us : for they 5 will not de- 
 part. 
 
 10 *For though ye had smitten the whole 
 army of the Chaldeans who fight against 
 you, and there remained 6 only twounded 
 men among them, yet should they rise up

 11 If 'And it came to pass, that when the 
 army of the Chaldeans was tbroken up 
 from Jerusalem'because of Pharaoh's army, 
 
 12 Then Jeremiah 8 was going forth from 
 Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, 
 to 'receive thence his inheritance in the 
 midst of the people. 
 
 13 And when he was in the gate of Ben- 
 jamin, a captain of the ,0 watch was there, 
 whose name was Irijah, the son of Shele- 
 miah, the son of Hananiah ; and he took 
 Jeremiah the prophet, saying, Thou fallest 
 away to the Chaldeans. 
 
 14 Then said Jeremiah, It is tfalse; I 
 fall not away to the Chaldeans. But he 
 hearkened not to him : so Irijah took Je- 
 remiah, and brought him to the princes. 
 
 15 Wherefore the princes were "angry 
 with Jeremiah, and smote him, *and put 
 him in prison in the house of Jonathan the 
 scribe : for they had made that the prison. 
 
 16 If When Jeremiah ,2 had entered into 
 'the dungeon, and into the I3 cells, and Je- 
 remiah had remained there many days ; 
 
 17 Then Zedekiah the king sent, and 
 took him out : and the king asked him 
 secretly in his house, and said, Is there 
 any word from Jehovah ? And Jeremiah 
 said, There is : for, said he, thou shalt be 
 delivered into the hand of the king of 
 Babylon. 
 
 18 Moreover, Jeremiah said to king Ze- 
 dekiah, What have I offended against thee, 
 or against thy servants, or against this peo- 
 ple, that ye have put me in prison ? 
 
 19 Where are now your prophets who 
 prophesied to you, saying, The king of 
 Babylon '*will not come against you, nor 
 against this land ? 
 
 20 Therefore hear now, I pray thee, O 
 my lord the king: tlet my supplication, I 
 pray thee, be accepted before thee; that 
 thou cause me not to return to the house 
 of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there. 
 
 21 Then Zedekiah the king commanded 
 that they should commit Jeremiah m into 
 the court of the prison, and that they 
 should give him daily a piece of bread 
 15 from the bakers' street, "until all the 
 bread in the city 16 should be spent. "And 
 Jeremiah remained in the court of the 
 prison. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXVIII. 
 
 1 Jeremiah, by a false suggestion, is put into the 
 dungeon of Malchiah. 7 Ebed-melech, by suit, 
 getteth him some enlargement. 14 Upon secret 
 ■ conference he counselleth the king by yielding to 
 save his life. 24 By the king's instructions he 
 concealeth the conference from the princes. 
 
 'lYTOW Shephatiah the son of Mattan, 
 ■J- ' and Gedaliah the son of Pashur, and 
 "Jucal the son of Shelemiah, and 'Pashur 
 the son of Malchiah, ■ heard the words 
 which Jeremiah had spoken to all the 
 people, saying, 
 
 2 Thus saith Jehovah, d he who remain- 
 eth in this city shall die by the sword, by 
 the famine, and by the pestilence : but he 
 who goeth forth to the Chaldeans shall 
 live ; for he shall have his life for a z booty, 
 and shall live. 
 
 3 Thus saith Jehovah, 'This city shall 
 surely be given into the hand of the king 
 of Babylon's army, which shall take it. 
 
 529 
 
Jeremiah is cast into the dungeon. 
 
 4 Therefore the princes said to the king, 
 We beseech thee, 'let this man be put to 
 death: for thus he weakeneth the hands 
 of the men of war who remain in this city, 
 and the hands of all the people, 3 by speak- 
 ing such words to them: for this man 
 seeketh not the twelfare of this people, 
 but the hurt. 
 
 5 Then Zedekiah the king said, Behold, 
 he is in your hand : for the king is not 
 *one who can do any thing against you. 
 
 6 J Then they took Jeremiah, and cast him 
 into the dungeon of Malchiah the son ||of 
 Hammelech, which was in the court of 
 the prison : and they let down Jeremiah 
 with cords. And in the dungeon there 
 was no water, but mire : so Jeremiah sunk 
 in the mire. 
 
 7 If "Now when Ebed-melech the Ethio- 
 pian, one of the eunuchs who was in the 
 king's house, heard that they had put Je- 
 remiah in the dungeon ; the king then sit- 
 ting in the gate of Benjamin ; 
 
 8 Ebed-melech went forth 5 from the 
 king's house, and spoke to the king, 
 saying, 
 
 9 My lord the king, these men have done 
 evil in all which they have done to Jere- 
 miah the prophet, whom they have cast 
 into the dungeon; and the 6 will die of 
 hunger in the place where he is : for there 
 is no more bread in the city. 
 
 10 Then the .king commanded Ebed- 
 melech the Ethiopian, saying, Take from 
 hence thirty men twith thee, and take up 
 Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon, 
 before he die. 
 
 11 So Ebed-melech took the men with 
 him, and went into the house of the king 
 under the treasury, and took thence old 
 7 torn cloths and old 8 worn out clothes, 
 and let them down by cords into the dun- 
 geon to Jeremiah. 
 
 12 And Ebed-melech the Ethiopian said 
 to Jeremiah, Put now these old 9 torn cloths 
 and 10 worn out clothes under thine "arm- 
 holes under the cords. And Jeremiah did 
 so. 
 
 13 *'So they drew up Jeremiah with cords, 
 and took him up out of the dungeon : and 
 Jeremiah remained *in the court of the 
 prison. 
 
 14 If Then Zedekiah the king sent, and 
 took Jeremiah the prophet to himself into 
 the Hthird 12 entrance which is in the house 
 of Jehovah : and the king said to Jeremiah, 
 I will ask thee a thing; hide nothing from 
 me. 
 
 15 Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, If I 
 declare it to thee, wilt thou not surely put 
 me to death ? and if I give thee counsel, 
 wilt thou not hearken to me ? . 
 
 16 So Zedekiah the king swore secretly 
 to Jeremiah, saying, As Jehovah liveth, 
 'who made 'for' us this soul, I will not 
 put thee to death, neither will I give thee 
 into the hand of these men who seek thy 
 life. 
 
 17 Then said Jeremiah to Zedekiah, 
 Thus saith Jehovah, the God of hosts, the 
 God of Israel ; If thou wilt assuredly m go 
 forth "to the king of Babylon's princes, 
 then thy ,3 life shall be preserved, and this 
 city shall not be burned with fire; and 
 thou shalt live, and thy house :

 His advice to Zedekiah. 
 
 king of Babylon's princes, then shall this 
 city be given into the hand of the Chalde- 
 ans, and they shall burn it with fire, and 
 "thou shalt not escape "from their hand. 
 
 19 And Zedekiah the king said to Jere- 
 miah, I am. afraid of the Jews who 16 have 
 fallen to the Chaldeans, lest they 'should' 
 deliver me into their hand, and they 
 'should' ''"abuse me. 
 
 20 But Jeremiah said, They "will not 
 deliver thee. Obey, I beseech thee, the 
 voice of Jehovah, which I speak to thee : 
 so it shall be well to thee, and thy ,8 life 
 shall be preserved. 
 
 21 But if thou refuse to go forth, this is 
 the word which Jehovah hath shewed me : 
 
 22 J 9 Now behold, all the women who are 
 left in the king of Judah's house shall be 
 brought forth to the king of Babylon's 
 
 Sirinces, and those women shall say, tThy 
 riends have set thee on, and have pre- 
 vailed against thee : thy feet are sunk in 
 the mire, and they are turned away 20 back- 
 ward. 
 
 23 So they shall bring out all thy wives 
 and 'thy children to the Chaldeans : and 
 thou shalt not escape 2l from their hand, 
 but shalt be taken by the hand of the king 
 of Babylon: and tthou ^wilt cause this 
 city to be burned with fire. 
 
 24 If Then said Zedekiah to Jeremiah, 
 Let no man know 23 concerning these 
 words, and thou shalt not die. 
 
 25 But if the princes hear that I have 
 talked with thee, and they come to thee, 
 and say to thee, Declare to us now what 
 thou hast said to the king, hide it not from 
 us, and we will not put thee to death ; also 
 what the king said to thee : 
 
 26 Then thou shalt say to them, 'I pre- 
 sented my supplication before the king, 
 that he would not cause me to return 'to 
 Jonathan's house, to die there. . 
 
 27 Then came all the princes to Jere- 
 miah, and asked him: and he told them 
 according to all these words which the 
 king had commanded. So tthey "ceased 
 to speak with him ; for the matter was not 
 perceived. 
 
 28 So "Jeremiah abode in the court of the 
 prison until the day 2S when Jerusalem was 
 taken: and he was there when Jerusalem 
 was taken. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXIX. 
 
 1 Jerusalem is taken. 4 Zedekiah is made blind, and 
 sent to Babylon. 8 The city ruinated, 9 the people 
 captivated. 1 1 Nebuchadrezzar's charge for the 
 good usage of Jeremiah. \5 God's promise to 
 Ebed-melech. 
 
 IN the "ninth year of Zedekiah king of 
 Judah, in the tenth month, came Nebu- 
 chadrezzar king of Babylon and all his 
 army against Jerusalem, and they besieged 
 it. 
 
 2 And in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, 
 in the fourth month, the ninth day of the 
 month, the city was broken 'into. 
 
 3 'And all the princes of the king of 
 Babylon came in, and sat in the middle 
 gate, even Nergal-sharezer, Samgar-nebo, 
 Sarsechim, Rab-saris, Nergal-sharezer, 
 Rab-mag, with all the residue of the 
 princes of the king of Babylon. 
 
 4 ^ 'And it came to pass, 2 when Zede- 
 kiah the king of Judah saw them, and all 
 the men of war, then they fled, and went 
 
The people carried away captive. 
 
 forth out of the city by night, by the way 
 of the king's garden, by the gate between 
 the two walls : and he went out ' by' the 
 way of the plain. 
 
 5 But the Chaldeans' army pursued after 
 them, and ^overtook Zedekiah in the plains 
 of Jericho : and when they had taken him, 
 they brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar 
 king of Babylon to 'Riblah in the land of 
 Hamath, where he tgave 'sentence upon 
 him. 
 
 6 4 And the king of Babylon slew the 
 sons of Zedekiah in Riblah before his eyes : 
 also the king of Babylon slew all the no- 
 bles of Judah. 
 
 7 Moreover 'he put out Zedekiah's eyes, 
 and bound him twith chains, to carry him 
 to Babylon. 
 
 8 % e And the Chaldeans burned the king's 
 house, and the houses of the people, with 
 fire, and broke down the walls of Jeru- 
 salem. 
 
 9 *Then Nebuzar-adan the Htcaptain of 
 the guard carried away captives into Ba- 
 bylon the remnant of the people that re- 
 mained in the city, and those who fell 
 away, that fell to mm, with the rest of the 
 people that remained. 
 
 10 But Nebuzar-adan the captain of the 
 
 guard left 5 the poor of the people, who 
 ad nothing, in the land of Judah, and 
 gave them vineyards and fields tat the 
 same time. 
 
 11 H Now Nebuchadrezzar king of Ba- 
 bylon gave charge concerning Jeremiah tto 
 Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard, 
 saying, 
 
 12 Take him, and tlook well to him, and 
 do him no harm ; but do to him even as he 
 shall say to thee. 
 
 13 So Nebuzar-adan the captain of the 
 guard sent, and Nebushasban, Rab-saris, 
 and Nergal-sharezer, Rabmag, and all the 
 king of Babylon's princes ; 
 
 14 Even they sent, "and took Jeremiah 
 out of the court of the prison, and com- 
 mitted him k to Gedaliah the son of 'Ahi- 
 kam the son of Shaphan, that he should 
 carry him home : so he dwelt among the 
 people. 
 
 15 If Now the word of Jehovah 6 had come 
 to Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the 
 court of the prison, saying, 
 
 16 Go and speak to m Ebed-melech the 
 Ethiopian, saying, Thus saith Jehovah of 
 hosts, the God of Israel ; Behold, "I will 
 bring my words upon this city for evil, and 
 not for good ; and they shall be accomplish- 
 ed in that- day before thee. 
 
 17 But I will deliver thee in that day, 
 saith Jehovah: and thou shalt not be 
 given into the hand of the men of whom 
 thou art afraid. 
 
 18 For I will surely deliver thee, and 
 thou shalt not fall by the sword, but "thy 
 life shall be for a 'booty to thee : ^because 
 thou hast put thy trust in me, saith Je- 
 hovah.

 Jeremiah goeth to Gedaliah. 
 
 from Ramah, when he had taken him be- 
 ing bound in ||chains among all those who 
 were carried away captives of Jerusalem 
 and Judah, who were carried away cap- 
 tives to Babylon. 
 
 2 And the captain of the guard took Je- 
 remiah, and 'said to him, Jehovah thy God 
 hath pronounced this evil upon this place. 
 
 3 Now Jehovah hath brought it, and 
 done according as he had said : 'because 
 ye have sinned against Jehovah, and have 
 not obeyed his voice, therefore this thing 
 is come upon you. 
 
 4 And now behold, I loose thee this day 
 from the chains which 2 are on thy hand. 
 flf it seem good to thee to come with me 
 into Babylon, come; and tl will look well 
 to thee : but if it seem ill to thee to come 
 with me into Babylon, forbear: behold, 
 'all the land is before thee: whither it 
 seemeth good and convenient for thee to 
 go, thither go. 
 
 5 Now while he 3 had not yet gone back, 
 he said, Go back 4 even to Gedaliah the 
 son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, Avhom 
 the king of Babylon hath made governor 
 oyer the cities of Judah, and dwell with 
 him among the people : or go wheresoever 
 it seemeth convenient to thee to go. So the 
 captain of the guard gave him victuals and 
 a 5 present, and let him go. 
 
 6 *Then went Jeremiah to Gedaliah the 
 son of Ahikam to ''Mizpah; and dwelt 
 with him among the people who were left 
 in the land. 
 
 7 U 'Now when all the captains of the 
 forces who were in the fields, even they 
 and their men, heard that the king of Ba- 
 bylon had made Gedaliah the son of Ahi- 
 kam governor in the land, and had com- 
 mitted to him men, and women, and child- 
 ren, and 6 *the poor of the land, of those 
 who were not carried away captives to 
 Babylon ; 
 
 8 Then they came to Gedaliah to Miz- 
 pah, 'even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, 
 and Johanan and Jonathan the sons of 
 Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhu- 
 meth, and the sons of Ephai the Netopha- 
 thite, and Jezaniah the son of a Maacha- 
 thite, they and their men. 
 
 9 And Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the 
 son of Shaphan swore to them and to their 
 men, saying, Fear not to serve the Chal- 
 deans : dwell in the land, and serve the 
 king of Babylon, and it 7 will be well with 
 you. 
 
 10 As for me, behold, I will dwell at 
 Mizpah, tto serve the Chaldeans, who will 
 come to us : but ye, gather ye wine, and 
 summer fruits, and oil, and put them in 
 your vessels, and dwell in your cities 
 which ye have taken. 
 
 11 Likewise when all the Jews who were 
 in Moab, and among the Ammonites, and 
 in Edom, and who were in all the coun- 
 tries, heard that the king of Babylon had 
 left a remnant of Judah, and that he had 
 set over them Gedaliah the son of Ahikam 
 the son of Shaphan ; 
 
 12 Even all the Jews returned "from all 
 places whither they 9 had been driven, and 
 came to the land of Judah, to Gedaliah, 
 to Mizpah, and gathered wine and sum- 
 mer fruits '"abundantly. 
 
 13 1[ "And Johanan the son of Kareah 
 
 531 
 
Ishmael murdereth Gedaliah. 
 
 and all the captains of the forces who were 
 in the fields, came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, 
 
 14 And said to him, Dost thou "indeed 
 know that m Baalis the king of the Ammo- 
 nites hath sent Ishmael the son of Netha- 
 niah tto slay thee ? But Gedaliah the son 
 of Ahikam believed them not. 
 
 15 Then Johanan the son of Kareah spoke 
 to Gedaliah in Mizpah secretly, saying, 
 Let me go, I pray thee, and I will slay 
 Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and no man 
 shall know it: wherefore should he slay 
 thee, ' so' that all the Jews who are gather- 
 ed to thee "shall be scattered, and the 
 remnant in Judah perish ? 
 
 16 But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam said 
 to Johanan the son of Kareah, Thou shalt 
 not do this thing : for thou speakest false- 
 ly "concerning Ishmael. 
 
 CHAPTER XLI. 
 
 1 Ishmael, treacherously killing Gedaliah and others, 
 purposeth with the residue to flee to the Ammonites. 
 11 Johanan recover eth the captives, and mindeth to 
 flee into Egypt. 
 
 NOW it came to pass in the seventh 
 month, "that Ishmael the son of Ne- 
 thaniah the son of Elishama, of the 'royal 
 family, and the princes of the king, even 
 ten men with him, came to Gedaliah the 
 son of Ahikam to Mizpah ; and there they 
 did eat bread together in Mizpah. 
 
 2 Then arose Ishmael the son of Netha- 
 niah, and the ten men who were with 
 him, and *smote Gedaliah the son of Ahi- 
 kam the son of Shaphan with the sword, 
 and slew him, whom the king of Babylon 
 had made governor over the land. 
 
 3 Ishmael also slew all the Jews who 
 were with him, even with Gedaliah, at 
 Mizpah, and the Chaldeans who were 
 found there, and the men of war. 
 
 4 And it came to pass the second day 
 after he had slain Gedaliah, and no man 
 knew it, 
 
 5 That there came 2 some from Shechem, 
 from Shiloh, and from Samaria, even four- 
 score men, 'having their beards shaven, 
 and their clothes rent, and having cut 
 themselves, with offerings and incense in 
 their hand, to bring them to d the house of 
 Jehovah. 
 
 6 And Ishmael the son of Nethaniah 
 went forth from Mizpah to meet them, 
 tweeping all along as he went : and it came 
 to pass, as he met them, he said to them, 
 Come to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam. 
 
 7 And it was so, when they came into 
 the midst of the city, that Ishmael the son 
 of Nethaniah slew them, and cast them 
 into the midst of the pit, he, and the men 
 that were with him. 
 
 8 But ten men were found among them 
 who said to Ishmael, Slay us not: for we 
 have treasures in the field, of wheat, and 
 of barley, and of oil, and of honey. So he 
 forbore, and slew them not among their 
 brethren. 
 
 9 Now the pit wherein Ishmael had cast 
 all the dead bodies of the men, whom he 
 had slain together with Gedaliah, was 4 that 
 1 which Asa the king had made s on account 
 of Baasha king of Israel : and Ishmael the 
 son of Nethaniah filled it with Hhe slain. 
 
 10 Then Ishmael carried away captives 
 all the residue of the people who were in 
 Mizpah, 'even the king's daughters, and

 Johanan goeth against Ishmael 
 
 all the people that remained in Mizpah, 
 "whom Nebuzar-adan the captain of the 
 guard had committed to Gedaliah the son 
 of Ahikam : and Ishmael the son of Ne- 
 thaniah carried them away captives, and 
 departed to go over to 'the Ammonites. 
 
 11 H But when Johanan the son of Ka- 
 reah, and all Hhe captains of the forces 
 who were with him, heard of all the evil 
 which Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had 
 done, 
 
 12 Then they took all the men, and went 
 to fight with Ishmael the son of Nethani- 
 ah, and found him by 'the great waters 
 that are in Gibeon. 
 
 13 Now it came to pass, that when all 
 the people who were with Ishmael saw 
 Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the 
 captains of the forces who were with him, 
 then they were glad. 
 
 14 So all the people that Ishmael had 
 carried away captives from Mizpah 'turn- 
 ed about and returned, and went to Joha- 
 nan the son of Kareah. 
 
 15 But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah 
 escaped from Johanan with eight men, 
 and went to the Ammonites. 
 
 16 Then Johanan the son of Kareah, and 
 all the captains of the forces who were 
 with him, took all the remnant of the peo- 
 ple which he had recovered from Ishmael 
 the son of Nethaniah, from Mizpah, after 
 8 he had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, 
 even mighty men of war, and the women, 
 and the children, and the eunuchs, whom 
 he had brought again from Gibeon : 
 
 17 And they departed, and dwelt in the 
 habitation of m Chimham, which is by Beth- 
 lehem, 9 to enter into Egypt, 
 
 18 Because of the Chaldeans : for they 
 were afraid of them, because Ishmael the 
 son of Nethaniah had slain Gedaliah the 
 son of Ahikam, "whom the king of Baby- 
 lon ' had' made governor in the land. 
 
 CHAPTER XLII. 
 
 1 Johanan desireth Jeremiah to inquire of God, pro- 
 mising obedience to his will. 7 Jeremiah assureth 
 him of safety in Judea, 13 and destruction in 
 Egypt. 19 He reproveth their hypocrisy, in re- 
 quiring of the Lord that which they meant not. 
 
 1 A ND all the captains of the forces, "and 
 -**-_ Johanan the son of Kareah, and Je- 
 zaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the 
 people from the least even to the greatest, 
 came near, 
 
 2 And said to Jeremiah the prophet, |]Let, 
 we beseech thee, our supplication be ac- 
 cepted before thee, and 'pray for us to 
 Jehovah thy God, even for all this rem- 
 nant ; (for we are left but c a few of many, 
 as thine eyes 2 behold us :) 
 
 3 That Jehovah thy God may shew us 
 d the way wherein we may walk, and the 
 thing which we may do. 
 
 4 Then Jeremiah the prophet said to 
 them, I have heard you; behold, I will 
 pray to Jehovah your God according to 
 your words ; and it shall come to pass, 
 that 'whatever thing Jehovah shall an- 
 swer you, 1 will declare it to you ; I will 
 'keep nothing back from you. 
 
 5 Then they said to Jeremiah, *Jehovah 
 be a true and faithful witness between us, 
 if we do not even according to all things 
 for 3 which Jehovah thy God shall send 
 thee to us. 
 
Jeremiah in vain dissuading, 
 
 CHAPTER XLIII. 
 
 the people go into Egypt. 
 
 6 Whether it be good, or whether it be 
 evil, we will obey the voice of Jehovah 
 our God, to whom we send thee ; "that it 
 may be well with us, when we obey the 
 voice of Jehovah our God. 
 
 7 If And it came to pass after ten days, 
 that the word of Jehovah came to Jere- 
 miah. 
 
 8 Then he called Johanan the son of Ka- 
 reah, and all the captains of the forces who 
 were with him, and all the people from the 
 least even to the greatest, 
 
 9 And said to them, Thus saith Jehovah, 
 the God of Israel, to whom ye sent me to 
 present your supplication before him ; 
 
 10 If ye will still abide in this land, then 
 *I will build you, and not pull you down, 
 and I will plant you, and not pluck you 
 up : for I *repent me of the evd which I 
 have done to you. 
 
 11 Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, 
 of whom ye are afraid ; be not afraid of 
 him, saith Jehovah : 'for I am with you, 
 to save you, and to deliver you from his 
 hand. 
 
 12 And m I will shew ^kindness to you, 
 that he may 5 deal kindly with you, and 
 cause you to return to your own land. 
 
 13 1f But if "ye say, We will not dwell in 
 this land, neither obey the voice of Jeho- 
 vah your God, 
 
 14 Saying, No ; but we will go into the 
 land of Egypt, where we shall see no war, 
 nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor 
 have hunger 6 for bread : and there will we 
 dwell : 
 
 15 And now therefore hear the word of 
 Jehovah, ye remnant of Judah ; Thus 
 saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel ; 
 If ye "'fully set p your faces to enter 6 
 Egypt, and go to sojourn there; 
 
 16 Then it shall come to pass, that the 
 sword, 'which ye feared, shall overtake 
 you there in the land of Egypt, and the 
 famine, of which ye were afraid, tshall fol- 
 low closely after you there in Egypt ; and 
 there ye shall die. 
 
 17 too shall it be with all the men who 
 set their faces to go into Egypt to sojourn 
 there ; they shall die r by the sword, by the 
 famine, and by the pestilence : and 'none 
 of them shall remain or escape from the 
 evil which I will bring upon them. 
 
 18 For thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the 
 God of Israel; As mine anger and my fury 
 nath been 'poured forth on the inhabitants 
 of Jerusalem ; so shall my fury be poured 
 forth on you, when ye shall enter into 
 Egypt: and "ye shall be an execration, 
 and an astonishment, and a curse, and a 
 reproach; and ye shall see this place no 
 more. 
 
 19 If Jehovah hath said concerning you, 
 O ye remnant of Judah ; *Go ye not into 
 Egypt: know certainly that I have t 'warn- 
 ed you this day. 
 
 20 For ||ye 10 used deceit against your- 
 selves, when ye sent me to Jehovah your 
 God, saying, "Pray for us to Jehovah our 
 God ; and according to all that Jehovah 
 our God shall say, so declare to us, and 
 we will do it. 
 
 21 And now I have this day declared it 
 to you ; but ye have not obeyed the voice 
 of Jehovah your God, nor any thing for u 
 which he hath sent me to you.

 CHAPTER XLIII. 
 
 1 Johanan, discrediting Jeremiah's prophecy, carri- 
 eth Jeremiah and others into Egypt. 8 Jeremiah 
 prophesieth by a type the conquest of Egypt by the 
 Babylonians. 
 
 A ND it came to pass, ' when Jeremiah 
 -**- had made an end of speaking to 
 all the people all the words of Jehovah 
 their God, for which Jehovah their God 
 had sent him to them, even all these 
 words, 
 
 2 "Then spoke Azariah the son of Hosha- 
 iah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and 
 all the proud men, saying to Jeremiah, 
 Thou speakest falsely : Jehovah our God 
 hath not sent thee to say, Go not into 
 Egypt to sojourn there : 
 
 3 But Baruch the son of Neriah setteth 
 thee on against us, 2 to deliver us into the 
 hand of the Chaldeans, that they may put 
 us to death, and carry us away captives 
 into Babylon. 
 
 4 So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all 
 the captains of the forces, and all the peo- 
 ple, obeyed not the voice of Jehovah, tc 
 "remain in the land of Judah. 
 
 5 But Johanan the son of Kareah, and all 
 the captains of the forces, took 'all the 
 remnant of Judah, thafhad returned from 
 all nations, whither they had been driven, 
 to dwell in the land of Judah ; 
 
 6 Even 'the^ men, and 'the' women, and 
 'the' children, c and the king's daughters, 
 d and every person whom Nebuzar-adan 
 the captain of the guard had left with Ge- 
 daliah the son of Ahikam the son of Sha- 
 phan, and Jeremiah the prophet, and Ba- 
 ruch the son of Neriah. 
 
 7 5 And they went into the land of Egypt: 
 for they obeyed not the voice of Jehovah : 
 thus came they even to 'Tahpanhes. 
 
 8 If Then came the word of Jehovah to 
 Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying, 
 
 9 Take great stones in thy hand, and hide 
 them in the clay in the brick-kiln, which 
 is at the Entrance of Pharaoh's house in 
 Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Ju- 
 dah; 
 
 10 And say to them, Thus saith Jehovah 
 of hosts, the God of Israel ; Behold, I will 
 send and take Nebuchadrezzar the king 
 of Babylon, 'my servant, and will set his 
 throne upon these stones which I have 
 hidden ; and he shall spread his royal 'ca- 
 nopy over them. 
 
 11 *And 8 he shall come and shall smite 
 the land of Egypt, and deliver *such as are 
 for 'pestilence to pestilence ; and such as 
 are for captivity to captivity; and such its 
 are for the sword to the sword. 
 
 12 And I will kindle a fire in the houses 
 of 'the I0 gods of Egypt; and he shall burn 
 them, and carry them away captives : and 
 he shall array himself with the land of 
 Egypt, as a shepherd putteth on his gar- 
 ment; and he shall go forth from thence 
 in peace. 
 
 13 He shall break also the timages of 
 IIBeth-shemesh, which is in the land of 
 Egypt ; and the houses of the gods of the 
 Egyptians shall he burn with fire. 
 
 533 
 
Jeremiah reproveth the Jews. 
 CHAPTER XLIV. 
 
 I Jeremiah expresselh the desolation of Judah for 
 their idolatry. 11 He prophesieth their destruc- 
 tion, who commit idolatry in Egypt. 15 The ob- 
 stinacy of the Jews. '20 Jeremiah threateneth them 
 for the same, 29 and for a sign prophesieth the de- 
 struction of Egypt. 
 
 THE word which came to Jeremiah con- 
 cerning all the Jews who 'dwelt in the 
 land of Egypt, who z dwelt at "Migdol, and 
 at 'Tahpanhes, and at c Noph, and in the 
 s land of Pathros, saying, 
 
 2 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God 
 of Israel ; Ye have seen all the evil which 
 I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon 
 all the cities of Judah ; and behold, this 
 day they are d & desolation, and no man 
 dwelleth therein ; 
 
 3 Because of their wickedness which 
 they have committed to provoke me, 4 by 
 then- going 'to burn incense, and to 'serve 
 other gods, whom they knew not, neither 
 they, ye, nor your fathers. 
 
 4 5 And s l sent to you all my servants the 
 prophets, rising early and sending them, 
 saying, Oh, do not this abominable thing 
 which I hate. 
 
 5 But they hearkened not, nor inclined 
 their ear to turn from their wickedness, to 
 burn no incense to other gods. 
 
 6 6 Therefore *my fury and mine anger 
 was poured forth, and was kindled in the 
 cities of Judah and in the streets of Jeru- 
 salem ; and they are wasted and desolate, 
 as at this day. 
 
 7 Therefore now thus saith Jehovah, the 
 God of hosts, the God of Israel ; Where- 
 fore commit ye this great evil 'against your 
 souls, to cut off from you man and woman, 
 child and suckling, tout of Judah, to leave 
 7 yourselves no remnant ; 
 
 8 6 By *provoking me with the works of 
 your hands, burning incense to other gods 
 in the land of Egypt, whither ye 9 are gone 
 to dwell, that ye 10 may cut yourselves oft', 
 and that ye "may be 'a curse and a re- 
 proach anions; all the nations of the earth ? 
 
 9 Have ye forgotten the twickedness of 
 your fathers, and the wickedness of the 
 kings of Judah, and the wickedness of 
 their wives, and your own wickedness, and 
 the wickedness of your wives, which they 
 have committed in the land of Judah, and 
 in the streets of Jerusalem ? 
 
 10 They 12 have not been thumbled even to 
 this day ,neither have they m feared,nor walk- 
 ed in my law, nor in my statutes, which I 
 set before you and before your fathers. 
 
 II IT Therefore thus saith Jehovah of 
 hosts, the God of Israel ; Behold, "I will 
 set my face against you for evil, 13 even to 
 cut off all Judah. 
 
 12 And I will take the remnant of Judah, 
 who have set their faces to go into the land 
 of Egypt to sojourn there, and "they shall 
 all be consumed, and fall in the land of 
 Egypt ; they shall M be consumed by the 
 sword and by the famine : they shall die, 
 from the least even to the greatest, by the 
 sword and by the famine : and p they shall 
 be an execration, 15 an astonishment, and 
 a curse, and a reproach. 
 
 13 'For I will punish those who dwell in 
 the land of Egypt, as I have punished Je- 
 rusalem, by the sword, by the famine, and 
 by the pestilence : 
 
 14 So that none of the remnant of Judah,

 their wives had burned incense to other 
 gods, and all the women who stood by, a 
 great multitude, even all the people who 
 dwelt in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, 
 answered Jeremiah, saying,

 will not hearken to thee. 
 
 17 But we will certainly do 'whatever 
 thing 19 hath gone from our own mouth, to

 "prosperous, and saw no evil. 
 
 18 But since we ^ceased to burn incense 
 to the queen of heaven, and to pour out 
 drink-offerings to her, we have wanted all 
 things, and have been consumed by the 
 sword and by the famine. 
 
 19 "And when we burned incense to the 
 queen of heaven, and poured out drink- 
 offerings to her, did we make her cakes to 
 worship her, and pour out drink-offerings 
 to her, without our 2s husbands ? 
 
 20 U Then Jeremiah said to all the people,to 
 the men,and to the women,and to all the peo- 
 ple who had given him that answer, saying, 
 
 21 The incense which ye burned in the 
 cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jeru- 
 salem, ye and your fathers, your kings and 
 your princes, and the people of the land, 
 did not Jehovah remember them, and came 
 it not into his mind ? 
 
 22 So that Jehovah could no longer bear, 
 because of the evil of your doings, and 
 because of the abominations which ye have 
 committed; therefore is your land >a de- 
 solation, and an astonishment, and a curse, 
 without an inhabitant, 'as at this day. 
 
 23 Because ye have burned incense, and 
 because ye have sinned against Jehovah, 
 and have not obeyed the voice of Jehovah, 
 nor walked in his law, nor in his "ordi- 
 nances, nor in his testimonies ; "therefore 
 this evil K hath happened to you, as at this 
 day. 
 
 24 Moreover, Jeremiah said to all the 
 people, and to all the women, Hear the 
 word of Jehovah, all Judah 'who are in 
 the land of Egypt : 
 
 25 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God 
 of Israel, saying; c Ye and your wives have 
 both spoken with your mouths, and fulfill- 
 ed with your hand, saying, We will surely 
 perform our vows which we have vowecl, 
 to burn incense to the queen of heaven, 
 and to pour out drink-offerings to her : ye 
 will surely accomplish your vows, and 
 surely perform your vows. 
 
 26 Therefore hear ye the word of Jeho- 
 vah, all Judah who dwell in the land of 
 Egypt; Behold, d l have sworn by my great 
 name, saith Jehovah, that 'my name shall 
 no more be named in the mouth of any 
 man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, 
 saying, The Lord Jehovah liveth. 
 
God's judgments upon the land.

 27 'Behold, I will watch over them for 
 evil, and not for good: and all the men of 
 Judah who are in the land of Egypt 'shall 
 be consumed by the sword and by the fa- 
 mine, until there be an end of them. 
 
 28 Yet A a small number who escape the 
 sword shall return 26 from the land of Egypt 
 into the land of Judah ; and all the rem- 
 nant of Judah, that 27 have gone into the 
 land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall know 
 whose 'words shall stand, tmine, or theirs. 
 
 29 if And this shall be a sign to you, saith 
 Jehovah, that I will punish you in this 
 place, that ye may know that my words 
 shall *surely stand against you for evil : 
 
 30 Thus saith Jehovah ; Behold, 'I will 
 give Pharaoh -hophra king of Egypt into 
 the hand of his enemies, and into the hand 
 of those who seek his life ; as I gave m Ze- 
 dekiah king of Judah into the hand of 
 Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, his ene- 
 my, and 'the one* who sought his life.

 1 Baruch being dismayed, 4 Jeremiah instructeth and 
 comforteth him. 
 
 THE "word which Jeremiah the prophet 
 spoke to Baruch the son of Neriah, 
 when he had written these words in a book 
 'from the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth 
 year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king 
 of Judah, saying, 
 
 2 Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, 
 to thee, O Baruch ; 
 
 3 Thou didst say, Wo 2 now to me ! for 
 Jehovah hath added grief to my sorrow ; 
 I 3 am weary with my sighing, and I find 
 no rest. 
 
 4 if Thus shalt thou say to him, Jehovah 
 saith thus; Behold, b that which I have 
 built will I break down, and that which I 
 have planted I will pluck up, even this 
 whole land. 
 
 5 And seekest thou great things for thy- 
 self? seek them not: for behold, £ I wdl 
 bring evil upon all flesh, saith Jehovah : 
 but thy life will I give to thee "Tor a 4 booty 
 in all places whither thou goest.

 1 Jeremiah prophesieth the overthrow of Pharaoh's

 THE word of Jehovah which came to 
 Jeremiah the prophet against "the 
 'Gentiles; 
 
 2 Against Egypt, 'against the army of 
 Pharaoh-necho king of Egypt, which was 
 by the river Euphrates in Carchemish, 
 which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon 
 smote in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the 
 son of Josiah king of Judah.

 4 Harness the horses; and 3 mount, ye 
 horsemen, and stand forth with your

 5 Wherefore have I seen them dismayed 
 and turned away 6 backward? and their 
 mighty ones are tbeaten down, and 'have 
 tfled away, and look not back : for ^ter- 
 ror is around, saith Jehovah. 
 
 6 Let not the swift flee away, nor the 
 mighty man escape: they shall 'stumble, 
 and fall towards the north by the river 
 Euphrates.

 8 Egypt riseth up like a "river, and his 
 waters are moved like the "streams ; and 
 he saith, I will go up, and will cover the 
 13 land ; I will destroy the city and the in- 
 habitants thereof. 
 
 9 Come up, ye horses ; and rage, ye cha- 
 riots ; and let the mighty men come forth : 
 tthe Ethiopians and tthe Libyans, who 
 "bear the buckler; and the 16 Ludim, 'who 
 handle and bend the bow. 
 
 10 For this is *the day of the Lord Jeho- 
 vah of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he 
 may avenge him ,6 on his adversaries : and 
 "the sword shall devour, and it shall be 
 satiated and made drunk with their blood : 
 for the Lord Jehovah of hosts Miath a 
 sacrifice in the north country by the river 
 Euphrates. 
 
 y. JGo up into Gilead, and take balm, m O 
 virgin, " daughter of Egypt : in vain shalt 
 thou use many medicines; for t"thou shalt 
 not be cured. 
 
 12 The nations have heard of thy shame, 
 and thy cry hath filled the land : for the 
 mighty man hath stumbled against the 
 mighty, and they ,8 have fallen both to- 
 gether. 
 
 13 if The word which Jehovah spoke to 
 Jeremiah the prophet, 19 that Nebuchadrez- 
 zar king of Babylon should come and 
 "smite the land of Egypt. 
 
 14 Declare ye in Egypt, and publish in 
 Migdol, and publish in Noph and in Tah- 
 panhes : say ye, 'Stand fast, and prepare 
 thyself; for «the sword shall devour M around 
 thee. 
 
 15 Why are thy valiant men swept away ? 
 they stood not, because Jehovah did "over- 
 throw them. 
 
 16 He tinade many to fall, yea, '[one fell 
 upon another: and they said, Arise, and 
 let us go again to our own people, and to 
 the land of our nativity, from the oppress- 
 ing sword. 
 
 17 They did cry there, Pharaoh king of 
 Egypt is but a noise ; he hath passed the 
 time appointed. 
 
 18 Jis I live, saith the King, 'whose name 
 is Jehovah of hosts, '.#s' surely as Tabor 
 is among the mountains, and as Carmel by 
 the sea, so 'surely' shall he come. 
 
 19 O 'thou daughter dwelling in Egypt, 
 tfurnish thyself "to go into captivity: for 
 Noph shall be waste and desolate without 
 an inhabitant. 
 
 20 Egypt is like a M fair *heifer, but de- 
 struction cometh; it cometh sM from the 
 north. 
 
 21 Also her hired men in the midst of her 
 are like tfatted bullocks; 24 yet they also 
 are turned back, and are fled away to- 
 
 S ether : they did not stand, because 'the 
 ay of their calamity was come upon 
 them, and the time of their visitation. 
 
 22 "The voice thereof shall M be heard like 
 'that of' a serpent; for they shall march 
 with an army, and come against her with 
 axes, as hewers of wood. 
 
 23 They shall 'cut down her forest, saith 
 Jehovah, though it cannot be searched ; 
 because they are more than the 26 locusts, 
 and are innumerable. 
 
 24 The daughter of Egypt shall be con- 
 
 5o0 
 
The destruction of the Philistines. 
 
 founded; she shall be delivered into the

 25 Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, 
 saith ; Behold, I will punish the || tmulti- 
 tude of 'No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, Avith 
 their '"rulers, and their kings ; even Pha- 
 raoh, and all those who trust in him : 
 
 26 *And I will deliver them into the hand 
 of those who seek their lives, and into the 
 hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, 
 and into the hand of his servants: and 
 "afterward it shall be inhabited, as in the 
 days of old, saith Jehovah. 
 
 27 U 'But fear not thou, O my servant 
 Jacob, and be not dismayed, Israel: for 
 behold, I will save thee from afar 28 , and 
 thy seed from the land of their captivity ; 
 and Jacob shall return, and be in rest and 
 at ease, and none shall make him afraid. 
 
 28 Fear thou not, Jacob my servant, 
 saith Jehovah : for I am with thee ; for I 
 will make a full end of all the nations 
 whither I have driven thee : but I will not 
 make "a full end of thee, but correct thee 
 in measure; yet will I ||not leave thee 
 wholly unpunished. 
 
 CHAPTER XL VII. 
 
 The destruction of the Philistines. 
 
 THE word of Jehovah which came to 
 Jeremiah the prophet" 'concerning the 
 Philistines, 'before 2 Pharaoh 5 had smitten 
 tGaza. 
 
 2 Thus saith Jehovah; Behold, 'waters 
 rise ii4 from the north, and shall be an over- 
 flowing 5 torrent, and shall overflow the 
 land, and tall that is therein; the city, 
 and those who dwell therein: then the 
 men shall cry, and all the inhabitants of 
 the land shall 6 wail. 
 
 3 At the 'noise of the stamping of the 
 hoofs of his 'horses, at the 8 rattling of his 
 chariots, 9 at the rumbling of his wheels, 
 the fathers shall not look back to their 
 children ""through feebleness of hands ; 
 
 4 Because of the day which cometh to 
 "lay waste all the Philistines, and to cut 
 off from ^ l2 Tyre and Zidon every helper 
 who remaineth: for Jehovah wdl 13 lay 
 waste the Philistines, f the remnant of tthe 
 country of A Caphtor. 
 
 5 * Baldness is come upon Gaza; *Ash- 
 kelon is "destroyed with the remnant of 
 their valley : how long wilt thou 'cut thy- 
 self? 
 
 6 0" m sword of Jehovah, how long 16 ere 
 thou 'wiW be quiet ? tput up thyself into 
 thy scabbard, rest, and be still. 
 
 7 tHow can it be quiet, seeing Jehovah 
 hath "given it a charge against Ashkelon, 
 and against the sea shore ? there hath he 
 "appointed it.

 The judgment of Moab. 
 
 3 'A voice of crying 4 from Horonaim, 
 'desolation and great destruction. 
 
 4 Moab is destroyed ; her little ones have 
 caused a cry to be heard. 
 
 5 «For in the "ascent of Luhith tcontinual 
 weeping shall go up; for in the 'descent of 
 Horonaim the enemies have heard a cry of 
 destruction. 
 
 6 ''Flee, save your lives, and be like 8 one 
 naked in the Mesert. 
 
 7 U '"Because that thou hast trusted in 
 thy works and in thy treasures, thou shalt 
 also be taken: and *Chemosh shall go " 
 into captivity, 1Z his 'priests and his princes 
 together. 
 
 8 And m the spoiler shall come upon eve- 
 ry city, and no city shall escape : the val- 
 ley also shall perish, and the plain shall be 
 destroyed, as Jehovah hath spoken. 
 
 9 "Give wings to Moab, that "he may 
 flee 14 away : for the cities thereof shall be 
 desolate, without any to dwell therein. 
 
 10 "Cursed be he who doeth the work of 
 Jehovah ||deceitfully, and cursed be he 
 who keepeth back his sword from blood. 
 
 11 U Moab hath been at ease from his 
 youth, and he '"hath settled on his lees, 
 and hath not been emptied from vessel to 
 vessel, neither hath he gone into captivity: 
 therefore his taste * hath' tremained in him, 
 and his 15 odour is not changed. 
 
 12 Therefore, behold, the days come, 
 saith Jehovah, 16 when I will send to him 
 "pourers who shall cause him to 18 be poured, 
 and shall empty his vessels, and break 
 their bottles. 
 
 13 And Moab shall be ashamed of «Che- 
 mosh, as the house of Israel r was ashamed 
 of *Beth-el their confidence. 
 
 14 If How say ye, 'We are mighty and 
 strong men for the war ? 
 
 15 "Moab is 29 destroyed, and her cities 
 have gone up in smoke, and this chosen 
 young men are *gone down to the slaugh- 
 ter, saith »the King, whose name is Jeho- 
 vah of hosts. 
 
 16 The calamity of Moab is near to come, 
 and his affliction hasteth fast. 
 
 17 All ye who are '"'around him bemoan 
 him ; and all ye who know his name, say, 
 *How is the strong staff broken, and the 
 beautiful rod ! 
 
 18 "Thou daughter who dost inhabit l Di- 
 bon, come down from thy glory, and sit in 
 thirst ; for 'the "destroyer of Moab shall 
 come upon thee, and lie shall destroy thy 
 strong holds. 
 
 19 O tinhabitant of "Aroer, 'stand by the 
 way, and espy ; ask him who fleeth, and 
 her that escapeth, and say, What is done ? 
 
 20 Moab is confounded ; for it is broken 
 down: f howl and cry; tellyeitinfArnon, 
 that Moab is ^destroyed, 
 
 21 And ^punishment hath come upon "the 
 plain country; upon Holon, and upon Ja-

 24 And upon 'Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, 
 and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, 
 far or near. 
 
 25 *The horn of Moab is cut oft', and his 
 'arm is broken, saith Jehovah. 
 
 26 H m Make M him drunken ; for he mag- 
 
The destruction of Moub. 
 
 uiiicd himself against Jehovah : Moab also 
 shall wallow in nis vomit, and he also shall 
 be in derision. 
 
 27 For "was not Israel a derision to thee? 
 "was he found among thieves? for since 
 thou M hast spoken of him, thou M didst 
 shake thy head for joy. 
 
 28 O ye who dwell in Moab, leave the 
 cities, and p dwell in the rock, and be like 
 «the dove that maketh her nest in the sides 
 of the Spit's mouth. 
 
 29 We have heard the r pride of Moab, 
 (he is exceedingly proud,) his loftiness, and 
 his arrogancy, and nis pride, and the haugh- 
 tiness of his heart. 
 
 30 I know his ^insolence, saith Jehovah ; 
 but it shall not&e so; *||his 29 boastings shall 
 not so effect it. 
 
 31 Therefore I 'will *°wail for Moab, and 
 I will cry. out for all Moab ; my heart shall 
 mourn for the men of Kir-heres. 
 
 32 "O vine of Sibmah, I will weep for thee 
 'more than' with the weeping of Jazer: 
 thy '"branches have gone over the sea, they 
 reach even to the sea of Jazer : the spoiler 
 is fallen upon thy summer fruits and upon 
 thy vintage. 
 
 33 And *joy and gladness ^are taken from 
 the plentiful field, and from the land of Mo- 
 ab; and I have caused wine to fail from the 
 wine-presses; none shall tread with shout- 
 ing; their shouting shall be no shouting. 
 
 34 "From the cry of Heshbon even to 
 Elealeh, and even to Jahaz, have they ut- 
 tered their voice, 'from Zoar even to Ho- 
 ronaim, as ' oP a heifer of three years old : 
 for the waters also of Nimrim shall be 
 tdesolate. 
 
 35 Moreover I will cause to cease in Mo- 
 ab, saith Jehovah, "him who oftereth in the 
 high places, and him who burneth incense 
 to his gods. 
 
 36 Therefore *my heart shall sound for 
 Moab like pipes, and my heart shall sound 
 like pipes for the ^men of Kir-heres : be- 
 cause 'the riches which he hath gotten are 
 perished. 
 
 37 For ''every head shall be bald, and 
 every beard tclipped: on all the hands 
 shall be cuttings, and 'on the loins sackcloth. 
 
 38 There shall be lamentation w every- 
 where on all the house-tops of Moab, and 
 in the streets thereof: for I have broken 
 Moab like f & vessel wherein 'there'' is no 
 pleasure, saith Jehovah. 
 
 39 They shall howl, saying, How is it 
 broken down ! how hath Moab turned the 
 tback with shame ! so shall Moab be a de- 
 rision and a dismaying to all those ^around 
 him. 
 
 40 For thus saith Jehovah ; Behold, ff he 
 shall fly ^like an eagle, and shall *spread 
 his wings over Moab. 
 
 41 'HKerioth is taken, and the strong 
 holds are $7 seized, and 'the mighty men's 
 hearts in Moab at that day shall be ^like 
 the heart of a woman in her pangs. 
 
 42 And Moab shall be destroyed 'from 
 being a people, because he hath magnified 
 himself against Jehovah. 
 
 43 ""Terror, and the pit, and the snare, 
 shall be on thee, O inhabitant of Moab, 
 saith Jehovah. 
 
 44 He who fleeth from the ^terror, shall 
 fall into the pit; and he that getteth up 
 out of the pit, shall be taken in the snare :

 for "I will bring upon it, even upon Moab,

 45 Those who fled stood under the sha- 
 dow of Heshbon because of the force: but 
 "a fire shall come forth "from Heshbon, 
 and a flame from the midst of Sihon, and 
 p shall devour the ^region of Moab, and the 
 crown of the head of the ttumultuous ones. 
 
 46 "Wo be t9 thee, O Moab ! the people of 
 Chemosh perisheth : for thy sons are taken 
 tcaptives, and thy daughters captives. 
 
 47 If Yet will I bring again the captivity 
 of Moab in the latter days, saith Jeho- 
 vah. Thus far is the ^punishment of Moab, 
 
 CHAPTER XLIX. 
 
 1 The judgment of the Ammonites. 6 Their restora- 
 tion. 7 The judgment of Edom, 23 of Damascus, 
 28 of Kedar, 30 of Hazor, 34 and of Elam. 39 The 
 restoration of Elam. 
 
 CONCERNING ||the Ammonites, thus 
 saith Jehovah ; Hath Israel no sons ? 
 hath he no heir? why then doth (Itheir king 
 inherit 'Gad, and his people dwell in his 
 cities ? 
 
 2 Therefore behold, the days come, saith 
 Jehovah, 'when I will cause an alarm of 
 war to be heard in "Rabbah of the Ammon 
 ites ; and it shall be a desolate heap, and 
 her daughters shall be burned with fire °. 
 then shall Israel be heir to those who were 
 his heirs, saith Jehovah. 
 
 3 Howl, O Heshbon, for Ai is 2 laid waste; 
 cry, ye daughters of Rabbah, d gird your- 
 selves with sackcloth ; lament, and run to 
 and fro 'within the hedges ; for ||their king 
 shall go into captivity, * his "priests and his 
 princes together. 
 
 4 Wherefore gloriest thou in the valleys, 
 ||thy flowing valley, O ^backsliding daugh- 
 ter ? who trusted in her treasures, e saying, 
 Who s can come to me ? 
 
 5 Behold, I will bring a ^terror upon thee, 
 saith Jehovah God of hosts, from all those 
 7 who are around thee ; and ye shall be 
 
 It 
 
 driven out every man straight forward 
 and none shall gather up him who wan- 
 dereth. 
 
 6 And "afterward I will bring 9 back the 
 '"captives of the children of Ammon, saith 
 Jehovah. 
 
 7 If 'Concerning Edom, thus saith Jeho- 
 vah of hosts: h Js wisdom no more in Te- 
 man? H 'hath counsel perished from the 
 prudent ? 12 hath their wisdom vanished ? 
 
 8 m Flee ye, ||turn back, dwell deep, O 
 inhabitants of "Dedan ; for I will bring the 
 calamity of Esau upon him, the time 'in* 
 which I will visit him. 
 
 9 If "grape -gatherers 'had' come to thee, 
 would they not "have left some gleaning- 
 grapes ? if thieves by night, they M wouId 
 have destroyed ttill they 15 had enough. 
 
 10 p But I have made Esau bare, I have 
 uncovered his secret places, and he shall 
 not be able to hide himself: his seed is 
 Is destroyed, and his brethren, and his 
 neighbours, and «he is "no more. 
 
 11 Leave thy fatherless children, I will 
 preserve them alive ; and let thy widows 
 trust in me. 
 
 12 For thus saith Jehovah; Behold, 'those 
 whose judgment was not to drink of the 
 cup, have '"deeply drunken ; and art thou 
 he that shall go altogether unpunished? 
 thou shalt not go unpunished, but thou 
 shalt 19 deeply drink of it. 
 
Hie judgment of Edom, Damascus, 
 
 13 For 'I have sworn by myself, said Je- 
 hovah, that 'Bozrah shall become a deso- 
 lation, a reproach, a waste, and a curse; 
 and all the cities thereof shall be perpetual 
 wastes. 
 
 14 I have heard a "rumour from Jeho- 
 vah, and an ambassador is sent '"'among 
 the nations, saying, "Assemble, and come 
 against her, and rise up to the battle. 
 
 15 For lo, I will make thee small among 
 the ^nations, and despised among men. 
 
 16 Thy terribleness hath deceived thee, 
 and the pride of thy heart, thou that 
 dwellest in the ^refuges of the rock, who 
 holdest the height of the hill : though thou 
 shouldest make thy "nest as high as the 
 eagle, *1 will bring thee down from thence, 
 saith Jehovah. 
 
 17 ^And Edom shall be a desolation: 
 "every one who goeth by it shall be asto- 
 nished, and shall hiss at all the plagues 
 thereof. 
 
 18 'As in the overthrow of Sodom and 
 Gomorrah and the neighbouring cities there- 
 of, saith Jehovah, no man shallabide there, 
 neither shall a son of man dwell in it. 
 
 19 c Behold, he shall come up like a lion 
 from the swelling of Jordan against the 
 habitation of the strong: but I will sud- 
 denly make him run away from her: and 
 who is a chosen man, that I may appoint 
 over her ? for 'who is like me ? ana who 
 will ||appoint me the time? and Avho is 
 that shepherd who will stand before me ? 
 
 20 ^Therefore hear the counsel of Jeho- 
 vah, which he hath taken against Edom ; 
 and his purposes, which he hath purposed 
 against the inhabitants of Teman : Surely 
 ^ne shall drag them forth like the feeblest 
 of the flock: surely he shall make their 
 ^pastures desolate with them. 
 
 21 *The earth ^trembleth at the ^sound 
 of their fall, at the cry, the noise thereof 
 was heard 29 at the tRed sea. 
 
 22 Behold, 'he shall come up and fly 30 like 
 the eagle, and spread his wings over Boz 
 rah : and at that day shall the heart of the 
 mighty men of Edom be 31 like the heart of 
 a woman in her pangs. 
 
 23 5 Concerning Damascus. Hamath 
 is confounded, and Arpad : for they have 
 heard evil tidings : they are tfaint-hearted ; 
 Hhere is 32 dread ||on the sea ; it cannot be 
 quiet. 
 
 24 Damascus ^hath become feeble, and 
 turneth herself to flee, and fear hath seized 
 on her: "anguish and ^angs have taken 
 her, as a woman in travail. 
 
 25 35 Why is "the city of praise not left, 
 the city of my joy ! 
 
 26 o36 Even her young men shall fall in her 
 streets, and all the men of war shall be cut 
 off in that day, saith Jehovah of hosts. 
 
 27 And I will kindle a 'fire in the wall 
 of Damascus, and it shall consume the 
 palaces of Ben-hadad. 
 
 28 If 'Concerning Kedar, and concern- 
 ing the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebu- 
 chadrezzar king of Babylon shall smite, 
 thus saith Jehovah; Arise ye, go up to 
 Kedar, and spoil the men of the east. 
 
 29 Their 'tents and their flocks shall they 
 take away : they shall take to themselves 
 their curtains, and all their vessels, and 
 their camels; and they shall cry to them, 
 ""Terror is on every side.

 winds from the four quarters of heaven, 
 and 'will scatter them towards all those

 the outcasts of Elam shall not come. 
 
 37 For I will cause Elam to be dismayed 
 before their enemies, and before those who 
 seek their life : and I will bring evil upon 
 them, even my fierce anger, saith Jehovah ; 
 *and I will send the sword after them, till 
 I ' shall' have consumed them : 
 
 38 And I will *set my throne in Elam, 
 and will destroy from thence the king and 
 the princes, saith Jehovah.

 CHAPTER L. 
 
 1, 9, 21, 35 The judgment of Babylon. 4, 17, 33 The 
 redemption of Israel. 
 
 THE word which Jehovah spoke "'con- 
 cerning Babylon and 'concerning the 
 land of the Chaldeans tby Jeremiah the 
 prophet. 
 
 2 Declare ye among the nations, and pub- 
 lish, and tset up a standard ; publish, and 
 conceal not : say, Babylon is taken, 'Bel 
 is confounded, Merodach is broken in 
 pieces; 'her idols are confounded, her 
 images are broken in pieces. 
 
 3 ''For out of the north there cometh up 
 'a nation against her, which shall make her 
 land desolate, and none shall dwell there- 
 in : they shall remove, they shall depart, 
 both man and beast. 
 
 4 f In those days, and in that time, saith 
 Jehovah, the children of Israel shall come, 
 'they and the children of Judah together, 
 f going and weeping: they shall go, *and 
 seek Jehovah their God. 
 
 5 They shall ask the way to Zion with 
 their faces thitherward, saying, Come and 
 let us join ourselves to Jehovah in 'a per- 
 petual covenant which shall not be for- 
 gotten. 
 
 6 My people 3 have been 'lost sheep: their 
 shepherds have caused them to go astray, 
 they have turned them away on 'the moun- 
 tains : they have gone from mountain to 
 hill, they have forgotten their t 4 fold. 
 
The judgment of Babylon, 
 
 7 All who found them have ""devoured 
 them: and "their adversaries said, ° We 
 offend not, because they have sinned 
 against Jehovah, 'the habitation of justice, 
 even Jehovah, 'the hope of their fathers. 
 
 8 r5 Flee from the midst of Babylon, and 
 go forth 'from the land of the Chaldeans, 
 and be 'like the he-goats before the flocks. 
 
 9 If 'For lo, I will raise and cause to come 
 up against Babylon an assembly of great 
 nations from the north country : and they 
 shall 'set themselves in array against her ; 
 from thence she shall be taken : their arrows 
 shall be "like 'those' of a mighty || expert 
 man ; "none shall return in vain. 
 
 10 And Chaldea shall be a spoil: *all 
 who spoil her shall be satisfied, saith Je-

 11 "Because ye were glad, because ye 
 rejoiced, O ye 'plunderers of my heritage, 
 because ye 10 have grown tfat *as the ' thresh- 
 ing' heifer at grass, and || "neigh like horses ; 
 
 12 Your mother shall be "utterly con- 
 founded ; she who bore you shall be asham- 
 ed : behold, the hindermost of the nations 
 shall be a "desert, a dry land, and a "waste. 
 
 13 Because of the wrath of Jehovah it 
 shall not be inhabited, "but it shall be whol- 
 ly desolate : 'every one who goeth by Ba- 
 bylon shall be astonished, and hiss at all 
 her plagues. 
 
 14 'Put yourselves in array against Ba- 
 bylon round about : all ye ''who bend the 
 bow, shoot at her, spare no arrows: for 
 she hath sinned against Jehovah. 
 
 15 Shout against her 15 around: she hath 
 "given her hand: her foundations arte fallen, 
 'her walls are thrown down : for s it is the 
 vengeance of Jehovah: take vengeance on 
 her ; *as she bath done, do to her. 
 
 16 Cut off the sower from Babylon, and 
 him who kandleth the flsickle in the time 
 of harvest: "because of the oppressing 
 sword 'they shall turn every one to his 
 people, and they shall flee every one to 
 his own land. 
 
 17 If Israel "hath been *a scattered sheep; 
 *the lions have driven Aim away: first "the 
 king of Assyria hath devoured him; and 
 lastly this "Nebuchadrezzar king of Baby- 
 lon hath broken his bones. 
 
 18 Therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts, 
 the God of Israel ; Behold, I will punish 
 the king of Babylon and his-land, as I have 
 punished the king of Assyria. 
 
 19 "And I will bring Israel again to his 
 "pasture, and he shall feed on Carmel and 
 Bashan, and his ,9 appetite shall be satisfied 
 on mount Ephraim and Gilead. 
 
 20 In those days, and in that time, saith 
 Jehovah, the iniquity of Israel shall be 
 sought for, and tliere shall be none ; and 
 the sins of Judah, and they shall not be 
 found : for I will pardon them 'whom I 
 '"cause to be left 
 
 21 If Go up against the land of M Mera- 
 thaim, even against it, and against the in- 
 h^tants of ,22 Pekod : waste and utterly 
 destroy after them, saith Jehovah, and do 
 'according to all which I have commanded 
 thee. 
 
 22 'A sound of battle is in the land, and 
 of great destruction. 
 
 23 How is "the hammer of the whole earth 
 cut asunder and broken ! how is Babylon 
 become a desolation among the nations !

 24 I have laid a snare for thee, and thou 
 art also taken, Babylon, *and thou wast 
 not aware: thou art found, and also caught, 
 because thou hast striven against Jehovah. 
 
 25 Jehovah hath opened his armoury, and 
 hath brought forth "the weapons of his in- 
 dignation : for this is the work of the Lord 
 Jehovah of hosts in the land of the Chal- 
 deans. 
 
 26 Come against her tfrom the utmost 
 border, open ner storehouses: ||cast her up 
 ^like heaps, and destroy her utterly : let 
 nothing of her be left. 
 
 27 Slay all her 'bullocks; let them go 
 down to the slaughter: wo to them! for 
 their day is come, the time of "their visita- 
 tion. 
 
 28 The voice of those who flee and escape 
 24 from the land of Babylon, *to declare in 
 Zion the vengeance of Jehovah our God, 
 the vengeance "'for his temple. 
 
 29 Call together the archers against Ba- 
 bylon : 'all ye who bend the bow, encamp 
 against it round about ; let none thereof 
 escape : "recompense her according to her 
 work; according to all which she hath 
 done, do to her : "for she hath been M pre- 
 sumptuous against Jehovah, against the 
 Holy One of Israel. 
 
 30 'Therefore shall her young men fall 
 in the streets, and all her men of war shall 
 be cut off in that day, saith Jehovah. 
 
 31 Behold, I am against thee, O thou 
 t^proud one, saith the Lord Jehovah of 
 hosts : for *thy day is come, the time a when 
 I will visit thee. 
 
 32 And tthe M proud one shall stumble 
 and fall, and none shall raise him up : and 
 *I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it 
 shall devour all ^around him. 
 
 33 Tf Thus saith Jehovah of hosts ; The 
 children of Israel and the children of Ju - 
 dah were oppressed together : and all who 
 took them captives held them fast; they 
 refused to let them go. 
 
 34 'Their Redeemer is strong ; 'Jehovah 
 of hosts is his name : he 31 will maintain 
 their cause, that he may give rest to the 
 land, and disquiet the inhabitants of Ba- 
 bylon. 
 
 35 ^[ A sword is on the Chaldeans, saith 
 Jehovah, and on the inhabitants of Ba- 
 bylon, and *on her princes, and on m her 
 wise men.- 
 
 36 A sword is "on the Htliars; and they 
 shall ^be foolish : a sword is on her mighty 
 men ; and they shall be dismayed. 
 
 37 A sword is on their horses, and on 
 their chariots, and on all "the ^mingled 
 people who are in the midst of her ; and 
 'they shall become M like women : a sword 
 is on her treasures; and they shall be 
 robbed. 
 
 38 »A drought is upon her waters'; and 
 they shall be dried up : for it is the land 
 of 'graven images, and they are mad ^with 
 their idols. 
 
 39 *Therefore the wild beasts of the de- 
 sert with the M wild cats shall dwell there, 
 and the ^ostriches shall dwell therein: 
 'and it shall be no more inhabited for ever; 
 neither shall it be dwelt in from generation 
 to generation. 
 
 40 "As 'when' God overthrew Sodom 
 and Gomorrah and the neighbouring cities 
 thereof, saith Jehovah; so shall no man 
 
 539 
 
God's severe judgment against 
 
 abide there, neither shall any son of man 
 dwell therein. 
 
 41 "Behold, a people shall come from the 
 north, and a great nation, and many kings 
 shall be raised up from the 1 ^extremities 
 of the earth. 
 
 42 "They shall hold the bow and the 39 ja- 
 velin : 'they are cruel, and will not shew 
 mercy : "their voice shall roar like the sea, 
 and they shall ride on horses, ia each one 
 put in array, like a man *'for the battle, 
 against thee, O daughter of Babylon. 
 
 43 The king of Babylon hath heard the 
 ^rumour concerning them, and his hands 
 "became feeble : *anguish 44 seized him, 
 and pangs as of a woman in travail. 
 
 44 'Behold, he shall come up like a lion 
 from the swelling of Jordan to the habita- 
 tion of the strong : but I will make them 
 suddenly run away from her : and who is 
 a chosen man, whom I may appoint over 
 her ? for who is like me ? and who will 
 llappoint me the time? and d who is that 
 shepherd who will stand before me ? 
 
 45 Therefore hear ye e the counsel of Je- 
 hovah, which he hath taken against Ba- 
 bylon ; and his purposes, which he hath 
 purposed against the land of the Chal- 
 deans: Surely 45 he shall drag them forth 
 like the feeblest of the flock : surely he 
 shall make their habitation desolate with 
 them. 
 
 46 'At the noise of the taking of Babylon 
 the earth ^trembleth, and the cry is heard 
 among the nations. 
 
 CHAPTER LI. 
 
 1 The severe judgment of God against Babylon in 
 revenge of Israel. 59 Jeremiah deliver eth the book 
 of this prophecy to Seraiah, to be cast into Eu- 
 phrates, in token of the perpetual sinking of Ba- 
 bylon. 
 
 THUS saith Jehovah; Behold, I will 
 raise up against Babylon, and against 
 those who dwell in the tmidst of them that 
 rise up against me, "a destroying wind ; 
 
 2 And will send to Babylon, 'fanners who 
 shall fan her, and shall empty her land : 
 'for in the day of trouble they snail be against 
 her 'around. 
 
 3 Against him who bendeth d let the archer 
 bend his bow, and against him who lifteth 
 himself up in his 2 coat of mail: and spare 
 ye not her young men; 'destroy ye utterly 
 all her host. 
 
 4 Thus the slain shall fall in the land of 
 the Chaldeans, 'and those who are thrust 
 through in her streets. 
 
 5 For Israel hath not been forsaken, nor 
 Judah 3 by his God, 4 by Jehovah of hosts; 
 though their land was filled with sin 
 against the Holy One of Israel. 
 
 6 fFlee out of the midst of Babylon, and 
 deliver every man his soul : be not cut off" 
 in her iniquity: for "this is the time of 
 Jehovah's vengeance; 'he will render to 
 her a recompense. 
 
 7 *Babylon hath been a golden cup in Je- 
 hovah's hand, which made all the earth 
 drunken : 'the nations have drunken of her 
 wine ; therefore the nations m are mad. 
 
 8 Babylon is suddenly "fallen and de- 
 stroyed: "howl for her; y take balm for her 
 6 wound, if so be she may be healed. 
 
 9 We would have healed Babylon, but 
 she 6 cannot be healed : forsake her, and 
 'let us go every one into his own country :

 Babylon, in revenge of Isruet. 
 
 for her 'punishment reacheth to heaven., 
 and is lifted up even to the skies. 
 
 10 Jehovah hath 'brought forth our right- 
 eousness : come, and let us 'declare in Ziori 
 the work of Jehovah our God. 
 
 11 "Make t 8 sharp the arrows; gather the 
 shields: "Jehovah hath 9 roused up the spi- 
 rit of the kings of the Medes : "for his 
 '"purpose is against Babylon, to destroy it; 
 because it is *the vengeance of Jehovah, 
 the vengeance vl for his temple. 
 
 12 "Set up the standard 12 against the walls 
 of Babylon, make the watch strong, set up 
 the watchmen, prepare the tambusnes: for 
 Jehovah hath both devised and done that 
 which he spoke against the inhabitants of 
 Babylon. 
 
 13 *0 thou who dwellest on many waters, 
 abundant in treasures, thine end is come, 
 and the measure of thy ''greediness. 
 
 14 'Jehovah of hosts hath sworn tby 
 himself, saying, Surely I will fill thee with 
 men, d as with "caterpillars; and they shall 
 t" 5 raise a shout against thee. 
 
 15 'He hath made the earth by his power, 
 he hath established the world by his wis- 
 dom, and *hath stretched out the heaven 
 by his understanding. 
 
 16 *When he uttereth his voice, there is 
 ,6 an abundance of waters in the heavens ; 
 and 'he causeth the vapours to ascend from 
 the ends of the earth: he maketh lightnings 
 "for the rain, and bringeth forth the wind 
 18 from his treasures. 
 
 17 'Every man ||is 19 stupid by his know- 
 ledge ; every founder is 20 put to shame by 
 the graven image: 'for his molten "work ts 
 falsehood, and there is no breath in them. 
 
 18 m They are vanity, the work of errors : 
 in the time of their visitation they shall 
 perish. 
 
 19 "The Portion of Jacob is not like 
 them ; for he is the former of all things : 
 and Israel is the ^sceptre of his inherit- 
 ance : Jehovah of hosts is his name. 
 
 20 "Thou art my battle-shammer, and 
 weapons of war: for || with thee will I 
 break in pieces the nations, and with thee 
 will I destroy kingdoms; 
 
 21 And with thee will I break in pieces 
 the horse and his rider; and with thee will 
 I break in pieces the chariot and its rider; 
 
 22 With thee also will I break in pieces 
 man and woman ; and with thee will I 
 break in pieces ''old and young; and with 
 thee will I break in pieces the young man 
 and the maid ; 
 
 23 I will also break in pieces with thee 
 the shepherd and his flock ; and with thee 
 will I break in pieces the husbandman and 
 his yoke of oxen; and with thee will I 
 break in pieces ^governors and rulers. 
 
 24 'And I will render to Babylon and to 
 all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil 
 which they have done in Zion in your sight, 
 saith Jehovah. 
 
 25 Behold, I am against thee, 'O destroy- 
 ing mountain, saith Jehovah, which cre- 
 stroyest all the earth: and I will stretch 
 out my hand ^against thee, and roll thee 
 down from the rocks, 'and will make thee 
 a burnt mountain. 
 
 26 And they shall not take of thee a stone 
 for a corner, nor a stone for foundations ; 
 'but thou shalt be tdesolate for ever, saith 
 Jehovah. 
 
QocPs judgment against, Babylon. 
 
 27 "Set ye up a standard in the land, 
 blow the trumpet among the nations, 'pre- 
 pare the nations against her, call together 
 against her "the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, 
 and Ashchenaz ; appoint a captain against 
 ner ; cause the horses to come up * 6 like the 
 27 bristly 28 caterpillars. 
 
 28 Prepare against her the nations with 
 *the kings of the Medes, the 29 governors 
 thereof, and all the rulers thereof, and all 
 the land of his dominion. 
 
 29 And the land shall tremble and sor- 
 row ; for every purpose of Jehovah shall 
 be performed against Babylon, *to make 
 the land of Babylon a desolation without 
 an inhabitant. 
 
 30 The mighty men of Babylon have for- 
 borne to fight, they have remained in their 
 '"strong places: their might hath failed; 
 *they became "like women: they have 
 burned her dwelling-places ; c her bars are 
 broken. 
 
 31 d One post shall run to meet another, 
 and one messenger to meet another, to 
 shew the king of Babylon that his city is 
 taken at one end, 
 
 32 And that 'the passages are ^taken, 
 and the reeds they have burned with fire, 
 and the men of war are affrighted. 
 
 33 For thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the 
 God of Israel ; The daughter of Babylon 
 is f like a threshing-floor, *\\it is time to 
 thresh her: yet a little while, *and the 
 time of her harvest shall come. 
 
 34 Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon 
 hath 'devoured me, he hath crushed me, he 
 hath made me an empty vessel, he hath 
 swallowed me up like a 33 jackal , he hath 
 filled his belly with my u delicacies, he 
 hath cast me out. 
 
 35 tThe violence done to me and to my 
 Hflesh be on Babylon, shall the tinhabitant 
 of Zion say; and, My blood on the inha- 
 bitants of Chaldea, shall Jerusalem say. 
 
 36 Therefore thus saith Jehovah ; Behold, 
 *I will ^maintain thy cause, and take ven- 
 geance for thee; 'and I will dry up her

 37 m And Babylon shall become heaps, a 
 dwelling-place for ^jackals, "an astonish- 
 ment, and a hissing, without an inhabitant. 
 
 38 They shall roar together like lions : 
 they shall Hyell 37 like lions' whelps. 
 
 39 In their heat I will M prepare their 
 feasts, and °I will make them drunken, 
 that they may rejoice, and sleep a per- 
 petual sleep, and not wake, saith Jehovah. 
 
 40 I will bring them down like lambs to 
 the slaughter, like rams with he -goats. 
 
 41 How is p Sheshach taken ! and how is 
 'the praise of the whole earth M seized ! 
 how is Babylon become an astonishment 
 among the nations ! 
 
 42 "The sea is come up 40 over Babylon : 
 she is covered with the multitude of the 
 waves thereof. 
 
 43 *Her cities are a desolation, a dry land, 
 and a 4l waste, a land wherein no man 
 dwelleth, neither doth any son of man 
 pass thereby. 
 
 44 'And I will punish Bel in Babylon, 
 and I will bring forth out of his mouth 
 that which he hath swallowed up: and the 
 nations shall not flow together any more 
 to him : 42 even *the wall of Babylon shall 
 fall.

 46 And || lest your heart faint, and ye 
 fear "for the rumour which shall be heard 
 in the land ; a rumour shall both come one 
 year, and after that in another year shall 
 come a rumour, and violence in the land, 
 ruler against ruler. 
 
 47 Therefore behold, the days come, that 
 I will t 4S execute justice on the graven 
 
 images of Babylon : and her whole land 
 shall be confounded, and all her slain shall 
 fall in the midst of her. 
 
 48 Then "the heaven and the earth, and 
 all which is therein, shall sing 44 over Ba- 
 bylon : 'for the spoilers shall come to her 
 from the north, saith Jehovah. 
 
 49 || As Babylon hath caused the slain of 
 Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the 
 slain of all ||the ^land. 
 
 50 c Ye who have escaped the sword, go 
 away, stand not still : remember Jehovah 
 afar off, and let Jerusalem come into your 
 mind. 
 
 51 * We ^have been confounded, because 
 we have heard reproach : shame hath co- 
 vered our faces ; for strangers 4, have come 
 into the sanctuaries of Jehovah's house. 
 
 52 Wherefore behold, the days come, 
 saith Jehovah, J48 when I will 49 execute 
 justice on her graven images: and through 
 all her land the wounded shall groan. 
 
 53 'Though Babylon should mount up to 
 heaven, and though she should fortify the 
 height of her strength, yet from me shall 
 spoilers come to her, saith Jehovah. 
 
 54 ? A sound of a cry M from Babylon, and 
 great destruction from the land of the 
 Chaldeans : 
 
 55 Because Jehovah hath 6, ruined Baby- 
 lon, and destroyed out of her the great 
 voice : when her waves 62 roar like great 
 waters, a noise of their voice is uttered : 
 
 56 Because the spoiler is come upon her, 
 even on Babylon, and her mighty men are 
 taken, every one of their bows is broken : 
 *for Jehovah God of recompences' shall 
 surely requite. 
 
 57 'And I will make drunk her princes, 
 and her wise men, her ^governors, and her 
 rulers, and her mighty men : and they shall 
 sleep a perpetual sleep, and not awake, 
 saith *the King, whose name is Jehovah 
 of hosts. 
 
 58 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts; H'The 
 broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly 
 "destroyed, and her high gates shall be 
 burned with fire ; 65 for m the people shall 
 labour in vain, and the 66 nations in the fire, 
 and they shall be weary. 
 
 59 If The word which Jeremiah the pro- 
 phet commanded Seraiah the son of Ne- 
 riah, the son of Maaseiah, when he went 
 || with Zedekiah the king of Judah into Ba- 
 bylon in the fourth year of his reign. And 
 this Seraiah was "chief chamberlain. 
 
 60 So Jeremiah wrote in a book all the 
 evil Avhich should come on Babylon, even 
 all these words which are written against 
 Babylon. 
 
 61 And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When 
 thou comest to Babylon, and shalt see, 
 and shalt read all these words ; 
 
 62 Then shalt thou say, O Jehovah, thou 
 hast spoken against this place, to ^destroy 
 
 541 
 
Jerusalem besieged and taken, 
 
 it, ' so' that "none shall remain in it, nei- 
 ther man nor beast, but that it shall be 
 tdesolate for ever. 
 
 63 And it shall be, when thou hast made 
 an end of reading this book, "that thou shalt 
 bind a stone to it, and cast it into the midst 
 of Euphrates : 
 
 64 And thou shalt say, 69 So shall Babylon 
 sink, and shall not rise from the evil which 
 I will bring upon her: p and they shall 
 '"utterly fail. Thus far are the words of 
 Jeremiah. 
 
 CHAPTER LII. 
 
 1 Zedekiah rebelleth. 4 Jerusalem is besieged and 
 taken. 8 Zedekiah's son killed, and his own eyes 
 put out. 12 Nebuzar-adan burneth and spoileth the 
 city. 24 He carrieth away the captives. 32 Evil- 
 merodach advanceth Jehoiachin. 
 
 ZEDEKIAH was "one and twenty years 
 old when he tbegan to reign, and he 
 reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And 
 his mother's name was Hamutal the daugh- 
 ter of Jeremiah of Libnah. 
 
 2 And he did ' evil in the z sight of Je- 
 hovah, according to all which Jehoiakim 
 had done. 
 
 3 For through the anger of Jehovah it 
 came to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, till 
 he had cast them 3 from his presence, that 
 Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Ba- 
 bylon. 
 
 4 If And it came to pass in the 'ninth 
 year of his reign, in the tenth month, in 
 the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchad- 
 rezzar king of Babylon came, he and all 
 his army, against Jerusalem, and pitched 
 against it, and built forts against it 4 around. 
 
 5 So the city was besieged 5 until the 
 eleventh year of king Zedekiah. 
 
 6 And in the fourth month, in the ninth 
 day of the month, the famine was 6 grievous 
 in the city, so that there was no bread for 
 the people of the land. 
 
 7 Then the city was broken 'into, and all 
 the men of war fled, and went forth "from 
 the city by night by the way of the gate 
 between the two walls, which was by the 
 king's garden ; (now the Chaldeans were 
 by the city 9 around :) and they went by the 
 way of the plain. 
 
 8 If But the army of the Chaldeans pur- 
 sued after the king, and overtook Zede- 
 kiah in the plains of Jericho ; and all his 
 army was scattered from him. 
 
 9 "Then they took the king, and carried 
 him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah, 
 in the land of Hamath ; where he gave 
 '"sentence upon him. 
 
 10 ''And the king of Babylon slew the 
 sons of Zedekiah before his eyes : he slew 
 also all the princes of Judah, in Riblah. 
 
 11 Then he tput out the eyes of Zede- 
 kiah; and the king of Babylon bound him 
 in ||chains, and carried him to Babylon, 
 and put him in tprison till the day of his 
 death. 
 
 12 If 'Now in the fifth month, in the 
 tenth day of the month, } which was the 
 nineteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar king 
 of Babylon, s came Nebuzar-adan, lltcap- 
 tain of the guard, who tserved the king of 
 Babylon, to Jerusalem, 
 
 13 And burned the house of Jehovah, 
 and the king's house ; and all the houses 
 of Jerusalem, and all the ' great' houses u , 
 burned he with fire :

 the temple burned, and city spoiled. 
 
 14 And all the army of the Chaldeans, 
 who were with the captain of the guard, 
 broke down all the walls of Jerusalem 
 "around. 
 
 15 Then Nebuzar-adan the captain of 
 the guard carried away captives li some of 
 the poor of the people, and the residue of 
 the people who remained in the city, and 
 those who fell away, who fell to the king 
 of Babylon, and the rest of the multi- 
 tude. 
 
 16 But Nebuzar-adan the captain of the 
 guard left u some of the poor of the land 
 for vine-dressers and for husbandmen. 
 
 17 'Also the *pillars of brass which were 
 in the house of Jehovah, and the bases, 
 and the brazen sea which was in the house 
 of Jehovah, the Chaldeans broke, and car- 
 ried all the brass of them to Babylon. 
 
 18 'The caldrons also, and the ||shovels, 
 and the snuffers, and the ||bowls, and the 
 spoons, and all the vessels of brass where- 
 with they ministered, took they away. 
 
 19 And the basins, and the Hfirepans, and 
 the bowls, and the caldrons, and the can- 
 dlesticks, and the spoons, and the cups ; 
 that which was of gold in gold, and that 
 which was of silver in silver, took the 
 captain of the guard away. 
 
 20 The two pillars, one sea, and twelve 
 brazen 16 oxen which were under the bases, 
 which king Solomon had made in the house 
 of Jehovah : m tthe brass of all these ves- 
 sels was without weight. 
 
 21 And concerning the "pillars, the height 
 of one pillar was eighteen cubits ; and a 
 t ,6 line of twelve cubits did encompass it ; 
 and the thickness thereof was four fingers : 
 it was hollow. 
 
 22 And a "capital of brass was on it ; 
 and the height of one "capital was five 
 cubits, with net-work and pomegranates 
 upon the "capitals around, all of brass. The 
 second pillar also and the pomegranates 
 were like to these. 
 
 23 And there were ninety and six pome- 
 granates on a side ; and "all the pomegra- 
 nates on the net-work ^around were a 
 hundred. 
 
 24 |(f And 'the captain of the guard took 
 Seraiah the chief priest, 'and Zephaniah 
 the second priest, and the three keepers 
 of the tdoor : 
 
 25 He took also out of the city a eunuch, 
 who had the charge of the men of war ; 
 and seven men of those who twere near 
 the king's person, who were found in the 
 city; and the Uprincipal scribe of the host, 
 who mustered the people of the land ; and 
 threescore men of the people of the land, 
 who were found in the midst of the city. 
 
 26 So Nebuzar-adan the captain of the 
 
 fnard took them, and brought them to the 
 ing of Babylon to Riblah. 
 
 27 And the king of Babylon smote them, 
 and put them to death in Riblah in the 
 land of Hamath. Thus Judah was carried

 IT THE LAMENTATIONS OF JEREMIAH. 
 
 CHAPTER I. 
 
 1 The miserable estate of Jerusalem by reason of her 
 tin. 12 She complaineth of her grief, 18 ami con- 
 fessed God's judgment to be righteous. 
 
 HOW doth the city sit solitary, which 
 was full of people ! "how is she be- 
 come 'like a widow I she who was great 
 among the nations, and 'princess among 
 the provinces, how is she become tributary ! 
 
 2 She 'weepeth *bitterly in the d night, and 
 her tears are on her cheeks: "among all 
 her lovers 'she hath none to comfort Iter : 
 all her friends have dealt treacherously 
 with her, they 3 have become her enemies. 
 
 3 «Judah is gone into captivity because 
 of affliction, and tbecause of great servi- 
 tude: *she dwelleth among the heathen, 
 she findeth no rest: all her persecutors 
 overtook her between the straits. 
 
 4 The ways of Zion * mourn, because 
 none come to the solemn feasts : all her 
 gates are desolate: her priests sigh, her 
 virgins are afflicted, and she is in bitter- 
 ness. 
 
 5 Her adversaries '"are the chief, her ene- 
 mies prosper; for Jehovah hath afflicted 
 her * B on account of the multitude of her 
 transgressions : her 'children are gone into 
 captivity before the enemy. 
 
 6 And from the daughter of Zion all her 
 beauty is departed : her princes are become 
 like harts which find no pasture, and they 
 'flee without strength before the pursuer. 
 
 7 Jerusalem remembereth in the days of 
 her affliction and of her 'oppressions all 
 her Upleasant things that she had in the 
 days of old, when her people fell into the 
 hand of the enemy, and none did help her : 
 the adversaries saw her, and did mock at 
 her Calamities. 
 
 8 ""Jerusalem hath grievously sinned ; 
 therefore she 9 hath become detestable : 
 all who honoured her despise her, because 
 "they have seen her nakedness: yea, she 
 sigheth, and turneth backward. 
 
 9 Her filthiness is on her skirts ; she "re 
 membered not her last end ; therefore she 
 10 was brought down wonderfully: p she hath 
 no comforter. O Jehovah, behold my af- 
 fliction: for the enemy hath magnified 
 himself. 
 
 10 The adversary hath spread out his 
 hand upon 'all her Upleasant things : "yea, 
 she hath seen that r the heathen entered 
 into her sanctuary, whom thou didst com- 
 mand that 'they should not enter into thy 
 congregation. 
 
 11 All her people sigh, 'they seek bread ; 
 they have given their "precious things for

 consider ; for I am become vile. 
 
 12 If \\Is it nothing to you, all ye who 
 tpass by? behold, and see "if there be any 
 sorrow like to my sorrow, which is "brought 
 upon me, wherewith Jehovah hath afflicted 
 me in the day of his fierce anger. 
 
 13 From above hath he sent fire into my 
 bones, and it prevaileth against them : he 
 hath "spread a net for my feet, he hath 
 turned me back : he hath made me deso- 
 late and faint all the day. 
 
 14 »The yoke of my transgressions is 
 bound by his hand : they are ls twisted to- 
 gether, and M laid upon my neck : he hath 
 made my strength to fall, the "Lord hath 
 delivered me into their hands, ^against 
 whom I am not able to rise up. 
 
 15 The 19 Lord hath trodden under foot 
 all my mighty men in the midst of me : 
 he hath called an assembly against me to 
 crush my young men: the 20 Lord hath 
 trodden ||the virgin, the daughter of Judah, 
 as in a wine-press. 
 
 16 For these things I weep ; "mine eye, 
 mine eye runneth down with water, be- 
 cause 'the comforter that should trelieve 
 my soul is far from me: my children 21 have 
 perished, because the enemy prevailed. 
 
 17 'Zion spreadeth forth her hands, and 
 d there is M no one to comfort her: Jehovah 
 hath commanded concerning Jacob, that 
 his adversaries should be round about him: 
 Jerusalem M hath become like an unclean 
 thing among them. 
 
 18 If Jehovah is 'righteous; for I have 
 ^rebelled against his tcommandment: hear, 
 I pray you, all "nations, and behold my 
 sorrow : my virgins and my young men 
 are gone into captivity. 
 
 19 I called for my lovers, but ff they de- 
 ceived me: my priests and mine elders 
 ^expired in the city, ''while they sought 
 their meat to 2$ sustain their lives. 
 
 20 Behold, O Jehovah ; for I am in dis- 
 tress : my 'bowels "boil; my heart is 
 turned within me; for I have grievously 
 rebelled : *abroad the sword bereaveth, at 
 home *% is like pestilence. 
 
 21 They have heard that I sigh: ' there is 
 29 no one to comfort me : all mine enemies 
 have heard of my ^calamity; they are glad 
 that thou hast done it : thou wilt bring m the 
 day which thou hast || 31 appointed, and they 
 shall be like to me. 
 
 22 "Let all their wickedness come before 
 thee; and do to them, as thou hast done to 
 me for all my transgressions : for my sighs 
 are many, and "my heart is faint.

Jeremiah lamenteth the 
 
 LAMENTATIONS. 
 
 misery of Jerusalem. 
 
 CHAPTER II. 
 
 t Jeremiah lamenteth the misery of Jerusalem. 20 He 
 complaineth thereof to God. 
 
 HOW hath the 'Lord covered the daugh- 
 ter of Zion with a cloud in his anger ; 
 "and cast down from heaven to the earth 
 *the 'glory of Israel, and remembered not 
 'his footstool in the day of his anger! 
 
 2 The 3 Lord hath swallowed up all the 
 habitations of Jacob, d and hath not pitied : 
 he hath thrown down in his wrath the for- 
 tresses of the daughter of Judah; he hath 
 tbrought them down to the ground : 'he 
 hath polluted the kingdom and the princes 
 thereof. 
 
 3 He hath cut off in his fierce anger 
 6 every horn of Israel: ^he hath drawn 
 back his right hand from before the ene- 
 my, E and he burned against Jacob like a 
 flaming fire, which devoureth around. 
 
 4 A He hath bent his bow like an enemy : 
 he stood with his right hand as an adver- 
 sary and slew fall that were pleasant to 
 the eye in the 6 tent of the daughter of 
 Zion : he poured out his fury like fire. 
 
 5 *The 'Lord was 8 like an enemy: he 
 hath swallowed up Israel, 'he hath swal- 
 lowed up all her palaces : he hath destroy- 
 ed his fortresses, and hath increased in 
 the daughter of Judah mourning and la- 
 mentation. 
 
 6 And he hath violently ""taken away his 
 ,0 hedge, "as if it were of a. garden: he hath 
 destroyed his places of the assembly: "Je- 
 hovah hath caused the solemn feasts and 
 sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion, and hath 
 despised in "his fierce anger the king and 
 the priest. 
 
 7 The 12 Lord hath cast off his altar, he 
 hath abhorred his sanctuary, he hath tgiven 
 up into the hand of the enemy the walls of 
 her palaces; 'they have made a noise in 
 the house of Jehovah, as in the day of a 
 solemn feast. 
 
 8 Jehovah hath purposed to destroy the 
 wall of the daughter of Zion: 'he hath 
 stretched out a line, he hath not with- 
 drawn his hand from tdestroying : there- 
 fore he made the rampart and the wall to 
 lament; they languished together. 
 
 9 Her gates are sunk into the ground; 
 he hath destroyed and 'broken her bars : 
 'her king and her princes 'are among the 
 Gentiles: 'the law is no more: her "pro- 
 phets also find no vision from Jehovah. 
 
 10 The elders of the daughter of Zion 
 *sit on the ground, and keep silence ; they 
 have y cast up dust upon their heads : they 
 have 'girded themselves with sackcloth : 
 the virgins of Jerusalem hang down their 
 heads to the ground. 
 
 11 "Mine eyes do fail with tears, *my 
 bowels "boil, c my liver is poured upon the 
 earth, 14 on account of the destruction of 
 the daughter of my people ; because "the 
 children and the sucklings ' 5 faint in the 
 streets of the city. 
 
 12 They say to their mothers, Where is 
 corn and wine ? when they "fainted like 
 the wounded in the streets of the city, 
 when their "life was poured out into their 
 mothers' bosom. 
 
 13 What "shall I testify to thee? "what 
 •'compare with thee, O daughter of Jeru 
 ealem? What shall I equal to thee, that 
 I may comfort thee, virgin daughter of

 Zion? for thy breach is great like the sea. 
 who can heal thee ? 
 
 14 Thy 'prophets have seen vain and 
 foolish things for thee : and they have not 
 * 20 laid open thine iniquity, to turn away 
 thy captivity; but have seen for thee false 
 burdens and 21 seductive things. 
 
 15 *All that pass tby, 'clap their hands at 
 thee; they hiss *and ffi shake their heads at 
 the aaughter of Jerusalem, saying, Is this 
 the city which men called 'the Perfection 
 of beauty, the Joy of the whole earth ? 
 
 16 m All thine enemies have opened their 
 mouth against thee: they hiss and gnash 
 the teeth : they say, "We have swallowed 
 her up: 23 yea," this is the day which we 
 looked for; we have found, "we have 
 seen it. 
 
 17 Jehovah hath done that which he had 
 p devised ; he hath fulfilled his word which 
 he had commanded in the days of old : 'he 
 hath thrown down, and hath not pitied: 
 and he hath caused thine enemy to 'rejoice 
 over thee, he hath 24 exalted the horn of 
 thine adversaries. 
 
 18 Their heart cried to the k Lord, O 
 'wall of the daughter of Zion, 'Let tears 
 run down like a river day and night : give 
 thyself no rest ; let not the 26 pupil of thine 
 eye cease. 
 
 19 Arise, "cry out in the night: in the 
 beginning of the watches *pour out thy 
 heart like water before the face of Jeho- 
 vah: lift up thy hands towards him for 
 the life of thy young children, "who faint 
 for hunger l2T at the head of every street. 
 
 20 f Behold, O Jehovah, and consider 
 28 with whom thou hast ' thus^ done 29 . 
 "Shall 30 even women eat their fruit, 3l 
 children 32 borne on their hands? 'shall the 
 priest and the prophet be slain in the 
 sanctuary of the 33 Lord ? 
 
 21 'The young and the old lie on the 
 ground in the streets ; my virgins and my 
 young men 34 have fallen by the sword ; 
 thou nast slain them in the day of thine 
 anger; ''thou hast killed, and not pitied. 
 
 22 Thou hast called as in a solemn day 
 'my terrors ^around, so that in the day of 
 Jehovah's anger none escaped or remained: 
 ' those whom Ihave 36 borne on my hands and 
 brought up, hath mine enemy consumed. 
 
 CHAPTER III. 
 
 1 The faithful bewail their calamities. 22 By the 
 mercies of God they nourish their hope. 37 They 
 acknowledge God's justice. 55 They pray for de- 
 liverance, 64 and vengeance on their enemies. 
 
 I AM the man who hath seen affliction 
 by the rod of his wrath. 
 
 2 He hath led me, and brought me into 
 darkness, but not into light. 
 
 3 Surely against me is he turned; he 
 turneth his hand against me all the day. 
 
 4 "My flesh and my skin hath he made 
 old ; he hath *broken my bones. 
 
 5 He hath builded against me, and com- 
 passed me with 'bitterness and 2 sorrow. 
 
 6 'He hath set me in dark places, 3 like 
 those dead of old. 
 
 7 ''He hath hedged me about, * so' that I 
 cannot get out : he hath made my chain 
 heavy. 
 
 8 Also 'when I cry and shout, he shutteth 
 out my prayer. 
 
 9 He hath enclosed my ways with hewn 
 stone, he hath made my paths crooked. 
 
The prophet bewaileth 
 
 10 'He was to me Hike a bear lying in 
 wait, and Hike a lion in secret places. 
 
 11 He hath turned aside my ways, and 
 * 8 torn me in pieces : he hath made me de- 
 solate. 
 
 12 He hath bent his bow, and "set me as 
 a mark for the arrow. 
 
 13 He hath caused 'the tarrows of his 
 quiver to enter 7 my reins. 
 
 14 I was a Merision to all my people; and 
 'their song all the day. 
 
 15 m He hath filled me with tbitterness, he 
 hath made me drunken with wormwood. 
 
 16 He hath also broken my teeth "with 
 gravel -stones, he hath ||covered me with 
 ashes. 
 
 17 And thou hast removed my soul fat- 
 off from peace: I "have forgotten tpros- 
 perity. 
 
 18 "And I said, My strength and my hope 
 9 have perished from Jehovah : 
 
 19 '"Remember mine affliction and my 
 misery, 'the wormwood and the "poppy. 
 
 20 12 Surely thou wilt remember them, for 
 my soul is bowed down within me. 
 
 21 This I trecall to my mind, therefore 
 have I hope. 
 
 22 f q It in of Jehovah's "kindnesses that 
 we are not consumed, because his com 
 passions fail not. 
 
 23 They are new r every morning : great 
 is thy faithfulness. 
 
 24 Jehovah is my 'portion, saith my soul ; 
 therefore will I hope in him. 
 
 25 Jehovah is good to those who 'wait 
 for him, to the soul which seeketh him. 
 
 26 It is good that a man should both hope 
 "and quietly wait for the salvation of Je- 
 hovah. 
 
 27 x It is good for a man that he bear the 
 yoke in his youth. 
 
 28 "He sitteth alone, and keepeth silence, 
 because he hath borne it upon him. 
 
 29 'He putteth his mouth in the dust; if 
 so be there may be hope. 
 
 30 "He giveth his cheek to him who smit- 
 eth him : he is filled full with reproach. 
 
 31 'For the "Lord will not cast off for 
 ever: 
 
 32 But though he cause grief, yet will he 
 have compassion according to the multi- 
 tude of his "kindnesses. 
 
 33 For c he doth not afflict twillingly, nor 
 grieve the children of men. 
 
 34 To crush under his feet all the pri- 
 soners of the earth, 
 
 35 To turn aside the right of a man be- 
 fore the face of ||the Most High, 
 
 36 To subvert a man in his cause, ''the 
 i6 Lord Happroveth not. 
 
 37 U Who is he 'that saith, and it cometh 
 to pass, when the "Lord commandeth it 
 not? 
 
 38 Out of the mouth of the Most High 
 proceedeth not 'evil and good ? 
 
 39 * Wherefore doth a living man "mur- 
 mur, *a man for the punishment of his sins ? 
 
 40 Let us search and try our ways, and 
 turn again to Jehovah. 
 
 41 'Let us lift up our heart with our hands 
 to God in the heavens. 
 
 42 "We have transgressed and have re- 
 belled : thou hast not pardoned. 
 
 43 Thou hast covered ^thyself in anger, 
 and persecuted us : 'thou hast slain, thou 
 hast not pitied.

 CHAPTER IV. 
 
 1 Zion bewaileth her pitiful estate. 13 She confess- 
 eth her sins. 21 Edom is threatened. 22 Zion is 
 comforted. 
 
 HOW is the gold become dim ! how is 
 the most fine gold changed ! the stones 
 of the sanctuary are poured out "at the 
 head of every street. 
 
 2 The precious sons of Zion, comparable 
 to fine gold, how are they esteemed 4 as 
 earthen pitchers, the work of the hands of 
 the potter ! 
 
 3 Even the 2 jackals|draw out the breast, 
 they give suck to their young ones: the 
 daughter of my people Hiath become cruel, 
 'like the ostriches in the 4 desert. 
 
 4 d The tongue of the sucking child cleav- 
 eth to the roof of his mouth for thirst : the 
 young children ask bread, and no man 
 breaketh it to them. 
 
 5 Those who did feed 5 on dainties are 
 desolate in the streets: those who were 
 brought up in scarlet f embrace dung- 
 hills. 
 
 6 For the Hpunishment of the iniquity of 
 the daughter of my people is greater than 
 the punishment of the sin of Sodom, which 
 
 545 
 
The wretched condition of Zion. 
 
 was ^overthrown as in a moment, and no 
 hands 'were laid upon her. 
 
 7 Her Nazarites were purer than snow, 
 they were whiter than milk, they were 
 more ruddy in body than "rubies, their 
 'appearance was like sapphire : 
 
 8 Their visage is t*blacker than a coal ; 
 they are not known in the streets : 'their 
 skin ,0 sticketh to their bones ; it is wither- 
 ed, it is become like a stick. 
 
 9 " Those slain with the sword are better 
 than n those slain 13 by hunger: for these 
 tpine away, "pierced through for want of 
 the fruits of the field. 
 
 10 *The hands of the " 5 tender-hearted 
 women have I6 boiled their own children : 
 they were their m meat in the destruction 
 of the daughter of my people. 
 
 11 Jehovah hath accomplished his fury: 
 "he hath poured out his fierce anger, and 
 "hath kindled a fire in Zion, and it hath 
 devoured the foundations thereof. 
 
 12 The kings of the earth, and all the 
 inhabitants of the world, would not have 
 believed that the adversary and the enemy 
 "would have entered 18 the gates of Jerusa- 
 lem. 
 
 13 1[ 'For the sins of her prophets, and 
 the iniquities of her priests, 'who have 
 shed the blood of the just in the midst of 
 her, 
 
 14 They have wandered l9 like blind men 
 in the streets, they have polluted them- 
 selves with blood, || ' so that men could not 
 touch their garments. 
 
 15 They cried to them, Depart ye; so 
 U 'unclean ; depart, depart, touch not : 
 when they fled away and wandered, they 
 said among the heathen, They shall no 
 more sojourn there. 
 
 16 The Hanger of Jehovah hath "scat- 
 tered them ; he will no more regard them : 
 "they respected not the persons of the 
 priests, they favoured not the elders. 
 
 17 As for us, "our eyes as yet failed for 
 our vain help: in our watching we have 
 watched for a nation that could not save us. 
 
 18 "They ^laid snares for our steps, 'so' 
 that we cannot go in our streets : our end 
 is near, our days are fulfilled ; for "our end 
 is come. 
 
 19 Our persecutors are *swifter than the 
 eagles of the heaven : they pursued us on 
 the mountains, they laid wait for us in the 
 M desert. 
 
 20 The "breath of our nostrils, the anoint- 
 ed of Jehovah, 'was taken in their pits, 
 of whom we said, Under his shadow we 
 shall live among the heathen.

 *around it, and 6 from the midst thereof 
 "like the colour of 'amber, 8 from the midst 
 of the fire. 
 
 5 "Also "from the midst thereof came the 
 likeness of four living creatures. And 
 'this was their appearance ; they had "the 
 likeness of a man. 
 
 6 And 10 each one had four faces, and 
 "each one had four wings. 
 
 7 And their "legs were straight "legs; 
 and the sole of their feet was like the sole 
 of a calf's foot; and they sparkled 'like 
 the colour of burnished brass. 
 
 8 m And they had the 14 hands of a man 
 under their wings on their four sides ; and 
 they four had their faces and their wings. 
 
 9 "Their wings were joined one to an- 
 other ; "they turned not when they went ; 
 they went every one straight forward. 
 
 10 As for 'the likeness of their faces, 
 they four 'had the face of a man r and the 
 face of a lion, on the right side : 'and they 
 four had the face of an ox on the left side; 
 'they four also had the face of an eagle. 
 
 11 Thus were their faces : and their wings 
 were ,5 spread out above; two wings of 
 every one were joined one to another, and 
 "two covered their bodies. 
 
 12 And x they went every one straight 
 forward; "whither the spirit was to go, 
 they went; and 'they turned not when 
 they went. 
 
 13 As for the likeness of the living crea- 
 tures, their appearance was like burning 
 coals of fire, a and like the appearance of 
 lamps : it I6 went up and down among the 
 living creatures ; and the fire was bright, 
 and out of the fire went forth lightning. 
 
 14 And the living creatures 'ran and re- 
 turned '"like the appearance of a flash of 
 lightning. 
 
 15 IT Now as I beheld the living creatures, 
 behold ''one wheel upon the earth by the 
 livingcreatures, with its four faces. 
 
 16 "ihe appearance of the wheels and 
 their work was ■''like to the colour of a 
 ,8 beryl : and they four had one likeness : 
 and their appearance and their work was 
 as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel. 
 
 17 When they went, they went upon their 
 four sides : e and they 19 turned not when 
 they went. 
 
 18 As for their rings, they were so high 
 that they were dreadful ; and their ||rings 
 were "full of eyes 20 around those four. 
 
 19 And 'when the living creatures went, 
 the wheels went by them : and when the 
 living creatures were lifted up from the 
 earth, the wheels were lifted up. 
 
 20 "Whithersoever the spirit was to go, 
 they went, thither was their spirit to go ; 
 and. the wheels were lifted up oyer against 
 them : 'for the spirit ||of the living crea- 
 ture was in the wheels. 
 
 21 m When those went, these went ; and 
 when those stood, these stood ; and when 
 those were lifted up from the earth, the 
 wheels were lifted up over against them : 
 for the spirit ||of the living creature was in 
 the wheels. 
 
 22 "And the likeness of 2, a firmament 
 M above the heads of the living creature 
 was M Iike the colour of the terrible crys- 
 tal, stretched forth over their heads above. 
 
 23 And under the firmament were their 
 wings straight, the one towards the other :

 noise of their wings, 'like the noise of great 
 waters, 26 like 'the voice of the Almighty, 
 the voice of speech, '"like the noise of a 
 host: when they stood, they let down their

 25 And there was a voice from the firma-

 they stood, and had let down their wings.

 AND he said to me, Son of man, "stand 
 on thy feet, and I will speak to thee. 
 
 2 And *the spirit entered into me when 
 he spoke to me, and set me on my feet, ' so' 
 that I heard him who spoke to me. 
 
 3 And he said to 'me, Son of man, I send 
 thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious 
 tnation that hath rebelled against me : 'they 
 and their fathers have transgressed against 
 me, * to this very day. 
 
 4 d For they are timpudent children and 
 stiff-hearted*. I do send thee to them; and 
 thoushalt say to them, Thus saith the Lord 
 Jehovah. 
 
 5 e And they, whether they will hear, or 
 whether they will forbear, (for they are a 
 rebellious house,) yet 'shall know that 
 there hath been a prophet among them. 
 
 6 If And thou, son of man, f be not afraid 
 of them, neither be afraid of their words, 
 though || "briers and thorns 2 are with thee, 
 and thou dost dwell among scorpions : *be 
 not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed 
 at their looks, "though they 3 are a rebellious 
 house. 
 
 7 'And thou shalt speak my words to 
 them, ""whether they will hear, or whether 
 they will forbear: for they are * rebellious. 
 
 8 But thou, son of man, hear what I say 
 to thee ; Be not thou rebellious like that 
 rebellious house: open thy mouth, and "eat 
 that ' which' I give thee. 
 
 9 If And when I looked, behold, °a hand 
 was sent to me ; and lo, p a roll of a book 
 was therein ; 
 
 10 And he spread it before me : and it 
 was written within and without: and there 
 teas written therein lamentations, and 
 mourning, and wo.

 1 Ezekiel eateth the roll. 4 God encourageth him. 
 15 God sheweth him the rule of prophecy. 22 God 
 shutteth and openeth the prophet's mouth. 
 
 547 
 
God encourageth Ezekiel. 
 
 MOREOVER he said to me, Son of man, 
 eat that 'which' thou findest; "eat 
 this roll, and go speak to the house of Is- 
 rael. 
 
 2 So I opened my mouth, and he caused 
 me to eat that roll. 
 
 3 And he said to me, Son of man, cause 
 thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with 
 this roll which I give thee. Then did I 'eat 
 it; and it was in my mouth c 'like honey 
 for sweetness. 
 
 4 If And he said to me, Son of man, go, 
 get thee to the house of Israel, and speak 
 with my words to them. 
 
 5 For thou art not sent to a people tof a 
 strange speech and of a hard language, but 
 to the house of Israel ; 
 
 6 Not to many people tof a strange speech 
 and of a hard language, whose words thou 
 canst not understand. || Surely, d had I sent 
 thee to them, they would have hearkened 
 to thee. 
 
 7 But the house of Israel will not hearken 
 to thee ; 'for they will not hearken to me : 
 ■Tor all the house of Israel are timpudent 
 and hard-hearted. 
 
 8 Behold, I have made thy face 2 firm 
 against their faces, and thy forehead s firm 
 against their foreheads. 
 
 9 ff As 4 a diamond, harder than flint have 
 I made thy forehead : fear them not, nei- 
 ther be dismayed at their looks, though 
 they B are a rebellious house. 
 
 10 Moreover he said to me, Son of man, 
 all my words which I shall speak to thee 
 receive in thy heart, and hear with thine 
 ears. 
 
 11 And go, get thee to those of the cap- 
 tivity, to the children of thy people, and 
 speak to them, and tell them, 'Thus saith 
 the Lord Jehovah ; whether they will hear, 
 or whether they will forbear. 
 
 12 Then 'the spirit lifted me up, and I 
 heard behind me a voice of a great rush- 
 ing, saying, Blessed be the glory of Jeho- 
 vah from his place. _ • 
 
 13 I heard also the noise of the wings of 
 the living creatures who ttouched one an- 
 other, and the noise of the wheels over 
 against them, and a noise of a great rushing. 
 
 14 So 'the spirit lifted me up, and tooK 
 me away, and I went tin bitterness, in the 
 theatof my spirit; but m the hand of Jeho- 
 vah was strong upon me. 
 
 15 1 Then I came to those of the capti- 
 vity at Tel-abib, who dwelt by the river 7 
 Chebar, and "I sat where they sat, and re- 
 mained there astonished among them seven 
 days. 
 
 16 And it came to pass at the end of seven 
 days, that the word of Jehovah came to 
 me, saying, 
 
 17 "Son of man, I have made thee p a 
 watchman to the house of Israel : therefore 
 hear the word 8 from my mouth, and give 
 them warning from me. 
 
 18 When I say to the wicked, Thou shalt 
 surely die; and thou givest him not warn- 
 ing, nor speakest to warn the wicked from 
 his wicked way, to save his life ; the same 
 wicked man 'shall die in his iniquity; but 
 his blood will I require at thy hand. 
 
 19 Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he 
 turn not from his wickedness, nor from his 
 wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity ; 
 'but thou hast delivered thy soul.

 20 Again, When a 'righteous man doth 
 turn from his trighteousness, and commit 
 iniquity, and I lay a stumbling-block be- 
 fore him, he shall die : because thou hast 
 not given him warning, he shall die in his 
 sin, and his righteousness which he hath 
 done shall not be remembered; but his 
 blood will I require at thy hand. 
 
 21 Nevertheless, if thou warn the right- 
 eous man, that the righteous sin not, and 
 he doth not sin, he shall surely live, be- 
 cause he is warned; also thou hast deliver- 
 ed thy soul. 
 
 22 If 'And the hand of Jehovah was there 
 on me ; and he said to me, Arise, go forth 
 "into the plain, and I will there talk with 
 thee. 
 
 23 Then I arose, and went forth into the 
 plain : and behold, *the glory of Jehovah 
 stood there, 9 like the glory which I "saw by 
 the river l0 Chebar : *and I fell on my face. 
 
 24 Then °the spirit entered into me, and 
 set me on my feet, and spoke with me, and 
 said to me, Go, shut thyself within thy 
 house. 
 
 25 "And thou, O son of man, behold, 
 M2 bands shall be put upon thee, and ,3 thou 
 shalt be bound with them, and thou shalt 
 not go out among them : 
 
 26 And C I will make thy tongue cleave to 
 the roof of thy mouth, ' so' that thou shalt 
 be dumb, and shalt not be to them ta re-

 27 'But when I speak with thee, I will 
 open thy mouth, ana thou shalt say to them, 
 'Thus saith the Lord Jehovah; He who 
 heareth,let him hear; and he who forbear- 
 eth, let him forbear: g for they are a rebel-

 CHAPTER IV. 
 
 1 Under the type of a siege is shewed the time from 
 the defection of Jeroboam to the captivity. 9 By 
 the provision of the siege, is shewed the hardness 
 of the famine. 
 
 THOU also, son of man, take thyself a 
 'tile, and lay it before thee, and por- 
 tray upon it 2 a city, even Jerusalem ; 
 
 2 And lay siege against it, and build a 
 3 tower against it, and cast ' up' a mount 
 against it; set 4 a camp also against it, and 
 set \\battering rams against it 6 around. 
 
 3 Moreover take thou to thyself ||an iron 
 pan, and set it for a wall of iron between 
 thee and the city : and set thy face against 
 it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shalt 
 lay siege against it. "This shall be a sign 
 to the house of Israel. 
 
 4 Lie thou also on thy left side, and lay 
 the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it : 
 according to the number of the days which 
 thou shalt lie on it thou shalt bear their 
 iniquity. 
 
 5 For I have Appointed for thee the years 
 of their iniquity, according to the number 
 of the days, three hundred and ninety days : 
 6 so shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house 
 of Israel. 
 
 6 And when thou hast accomplished them, 
 lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt 
 bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty 
 days : I have appointed thee teach day for 
 a year. 
 
 7 Therefore thou shalt set thy face to- 
 wards the siege of Jerusalem, and thine 
 arm shall be uncovered, and thou shalt 
 prophesy against it. 
 
The type of the prophet's hah: 
 
 CHAPTERS V. VI. 
 
 God's judgments upon Jerusalem. 
 
 8 'And behold, I will lay bands upon thee, 
 and thou shalt not turn thyself tfrom one 
 side to another, till thou hast ended the 
 days of thy siege. 
 
 9 If Take thou also to thyself wheat, and 
 barley, and beans, and lentiles, and millet, 
 and Hfitches, and put them in one vessel, 
 and make thyself bread thereof, according 
 to the number of the days which thou shalt 
 lie on thy side ; three hundred and ninety 
 days shalt thou eat thereof. 
 
 10 And thy 'food which thou shalt eat 
 shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day : 
 from time to time shalt thou eat it. 
 
 11 Thou shalt drink also water by mea- 
 sure, the sixth part of a hin : from time to 
 time shalt thou drink. 
 
 12 And thou shalt eat it as barley cakes, 
 and thou shalt bake it with 8 ordure pro- 
 ceeding from man, in their sight. 
 
 13 And Jehovah said, Even thus d shall 
 the children of Israel eat their denied 
 bread among the Gentiles, whither I will 
 drive them. 
 
 14 Then said I, 'Ah Lord Jehovah ! be- 
 hold, 9 I have not been polluted : for from 
 my youth up even till now have I not 
 eaten of / that which dieth of itself, or is 
 torn in pieces ; neither came there *abomi- 
 nable flesh into my mouth. 
 
 15 Then he said to me, Lo, I have given 
 thee cow's 10 ordure for man's "ordure, and 
 thou shalt prepare thy bread therewith. 
 
 16 Moreover he said to me, Son of man, 
 behold, I will break the *staff of bread in 
 Jerusalem: and they shall 'eat bread by 
 weight, and with care; and they shall 
 *drink water by measure, and with asto- 
 nishment : 
 
 17 That they may want bread and water, 
 and be astonished one with another, and 
 1 12 pine away for their iniquity. 
 
 CHAPTER V. 
 
 1 Under the type of hair, 5 is shewed the judgment of 
 Jerusalem for their rebellion, 12 by famine, sword, 
 and dispersion. 
 
 AND thou, son of man, take thyself a 
 sharp knife, take thee a barber's razor, 
 "and cause it to pass 'over thy head and 
 2 over thy beard : then take thyself balances 
 to weigh, and divide the hair. 
 
 2 'Thou shalt burn with fire a third part 
 in the midst of c the city, when d the days 
 of the siege 3 shall have been fulfilled : and 
 thou shalt take a third part, and smite 
 about it with ''the knife : and a third part 
 thou shalt scatter in the wind ; and I will 
 draw out a sword after them. 
 
 3 'Thou shalt also take thereof a few in 
 number, and bind them in thy tskirts. 
 
 4 Then take of them again, and 'cast 
 them into the midst of the fire, arid burn 
 them in the fire : for thereof shall a fire 
 come forth into all the house of Israel. 
 
 5 If Thus saith the Lord Jehovah; This 
 is Jerusalem ; I have set it in the midst of 
 the nations and countries that are 5 around 
 her. 
 
 6 And she hath changed my judgments 
 into wickedness more than the nations, 
 and my ^ordinances more than the coun- 
 tries which are 'around her: for they have 
 refused my judgments and my Ordinances, 
 they have not walked in them.

 accomplished my fury "upon them. 
 
 14 Moreover, *I will make thee 18 a deso- 
 lation, and a reproach among the nations 
 who are 19 around thee, in the sight of all 
 who pass by. 
 
 15 So it shall be a "reproach and a M re- 
 viling, a warning and an astonishment to 
 the nations who are 21 around thee, when I 
 shall execute judgments ^upon thee in 
 anger, and in fury, and in * furious re- 
 bukes. I Jehovah have spoken it. 
 
 16 When I shall "send upon them the 
 evil arrows of famine, which shall be for 
 their destruction, ^ which I will send to 
 destroy you: and I will increase the fa- 
 mine upon you, and will break your 4 stafF 
 of bread : 
 
 17 24 And I will send upon you famine 
 and 'evil beasts, and they shall bereave 
 thee ; and pestilence and blood shall pass 
 through thee ; and I will bring the sword 
 upon thee. I Jehovah have spoken it.

 remnant shall be blessed. 11 The faithful are ex-

 AND the word of Jehovah came to me, 
 saying, 
 
 2 Son of man, "set thy face towards the 
 'mountains of Israel, and prophesy against 
 them, 
 
 3 And say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear 
 the word of the Lord Jehovah: Thus saith

 to the lulls, to the 'streams, and to the 
 valleys; Behold, I, even I, will bring a 
 sword upon you and C I will destroy your 
 high places. 
 
 549 
 
The judgment of Israel for idolatry. 
 
 4 And your altars shall be desolate, and 
 your ||images shall be broken: and d I will 
 cast down your slain men before your 
 idols. 
 
 5 And I will tlay the dead carcasses of 
 the children of Israel before their idols; 
 and I will scatter your bones 'around your 
 altars. 
 
 6 In all your dwelling-places the cities 
 shall be laid waste, and the high places, 
 shall be desolate ; that your altars may be 
 laid waste and made desolate, and 'that' 
 your idols may be broken and cease, and 
 ' that' your images may be cut down, and 
 ' that' your works may be abolished. 
 
 7 And 'that' the slain "may fall in the 
 midst of you, and 'that' 'ye 4 may know 
 that I am Jehovah. 
 
 8 If 'Yet will I leave a remnant, that ye 
 may have some who shall escape the sword 
 among the nations, when ye shall be scat- 
 tered through the countries. 
 
 9 And 'those of you who escape shall 
 remember me among the nations whither 
 they shall be carried captives, because e l 
 am broken with their 6 lewd heart, which 
 hath departed from me, and *with their 
 eyes which go 'lewdly after their idols: 
 and 'they shall loathe themselves for the 
 evils which they have committed in all 
 their abominations. 
 
 10 And they shall know that I am Jeho- 
 vah, and that I have not said in vain that 
 I would do this evil to them. 
 
 11 If Thus saith the Lord Jehovah; Smite 
 "with thy hand, and stamp with thy foot, 
 and say, Alas, for all the evil abominations 
 of the house of Israel ! 'for they shall fall 
 by the sword, by the famine, and by the 
 pestilence. 
 
 12 He that is far off shall die 8 by the pes- 
 tilence; and he that is near shall fall by the 
 sword ; and he that remaineth and is be- 
 sieged shall die by the famine : "thus will 
 I accomplish my fury upon them. 
 
 13 Then "shall ye know that I am Jeho- 
 vah, when their slain men shall be among 
 their idols 9 around their altars, "on every 
 high hill, p on all the tops of the mountains, 
 and 'under every green tree, and under 
 every thick I0 oak, the place where they did 
 offer sweet "odour to all their idols. 
 
 14 So will I ""stretch out my hand on them, 
 and make the land desolate, yea, ||more 
 desolate than the 'Mesert towards 'Diblath, 
 in all their habitations: and they shall know 
 that I am Jehovah. 
 
 CHAPTER VII. 
 
 I The final desolation of Israel. 16 The mournful 
 repentance of them that escape. 20 The enemies

 ed their miserable captivity. 
 
 MOREOVER the word of Jehovah came 
 to me, saying, 
 
 2 Also, thou son of man, thus saith the 
 Lord Jehovah to the land of Israel ; "An 
 end, the end is come on the four corners 
 of the land. 
 
 3 Now is the end come on thee, and I 
 will send mine anger upon thee, and *will 
 judge thee according to thy ways, and will

 6 An end is come, the end is come : it 
 twatcheth for thee; behold, it is come. 
 
 7 'The 'change is come on thee, O thou 
 that dwellest in the land: 'the time is 
 come, the day of Consternation is near,

 8 Now will I shortly f pour out my fury

 thy ways, and will recompense thee for all

 according to thy ways, and thine abomina- 
 tions which are in the midst of thee ; *and

 10 Behold the day, behold, it is come : 
 the change is gone forth ; the rod hath 
 blossomed, pride hath budded. 
 
 11 ""Violence is risen up into a rod of 
 wickedness : none of them shall remain,, 
 nor of their ||multitude, nor of any of Htheirs : 
 "neither shall there be wailing for them. 
 
 12 "The time is come, the day draweth 
 near : let not the buyer rejoice, nor the 
 seller mourn : for wrath is on all the mul- 
 titude thereof. 
 
 13 For the seller shall not return to that 
 which is sold, talthough they were yet 
 alive: for the vision is Concerning the 
 whole multitude thereof, which shall not 
 return; neither shall any strengthen him- 
 self s by tthe iniquity of his life. 
 
 14 They have blown the trumpet, even 
 to make all ready; but none goeth to tht 
 battle: for my wrath is on all the multi 
 tude thereof. 
 
 15 'The sword is without, and the pesti ;

 the field shall die with the sword ; and he 
 who is in the city, famine and pestilence

 and shame shall be on all faces, and bald- 
 ness on all their heads. 
 
 19 They shall cast their silver in the 
 streets, and their gold shall be t 8 like an 
 unclean thing: their "silver and their gold 
 shall not be able to deliver them in the day 
 of the wrath of Jehovah : they shall not 
 satisfy their 'appetites, neither fill their 
 bowels : ||because it ,0 was 'the stumbling- 
 block of their iniquity. 
 
 20 If As for the beauty of his ornament, he 
 set it in majesty : "but they made the images 
 of their abominations and of their detesta- 
 ble things therein : therefore have I "made 
 it an unclean thing to them.

 the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked 
 of the earth for a 12 booty ; and they shall

 of bloody crimes, and the city is full of 
 violence. 
 
 24 Wherefore I will bring the worst of 
 the heathen, and they shall possess their 
 houses : I will also make the 13 pride of the

 CHAPTER VIII. 
 
 1 Ezekiel, in a vision of God at Jerusalem, 5 is shew- 
 ed the image of jealousy, 7 the chambers of image- 
 ry, 13 the mourners for Tammuz, 15 the worship- 
 pers towards the sun. 18 God's wrath for their 
 idolatry. 
 
 '"1VTOW it came to pass in the sixth year, 
 J-^ in the sixth month, on the fifth day 
 of the month, as I sat in my house, and 
 "the elders of Judah sat before me, that 
 *the hand of the Lord Jehovah fell there 
 upon me. 
 
 2 'Then I beheld, and lo a likeness 2 like 
 the appearance of fire : from the appear- 
 ance of his loins even downwards, fire; 
 and from his loins even upwards, 3 like the 
 appearance of brightness, tf4 like the colour 
 of amber. 
 
 3 And he 'put forth the form of a hand, 
 and took me by a lock of my head ; and 
 'the spirit lifted me up between the earth 
 and the heavens, and 'brought m« in the 
 visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door 
 of the inner gate which looketh towards 
 the north ; *where was the seat of the 5 idol 
 of jealousy, which 'provoketh to jealousy. 
 
 4 And, behold, the glory of the God of 
 Israel was there, according to the vision 
 that I 'saw in the plain. 
 
 5 f Then said he to me, Son of man, lift 
 up thine eyes now the way towards the 
 north. So I lifted up mine eyes the way 
 towards the north, and behold northward 
 at the gate of the altar this 6 idol of jealousy 
 in the 'entrance. 
 
 6 He said furthermore to me, Son of man, 
 seest thou what they do? even the great 
 abominations which the house of Israel 
 committeth here, that I should go far 8 from 
 my sanctuary ? but turn thyself yet again, 
 and thou shalt see greater abominations. 
 
 7 IT And he brought me to the door of 
 the court; and when I looked, behold a 
 hole in the wall. 
 
 8 Then said he to me, Son of man, dig 
 now in the wall : and when I had digged 
 in the wall, behold a door. 
 
 9 And he said to me, Go in, and behold the 
 wicked abominations which they do here.

 nable beasts, and all the idols of the house 
 of Israel, portrayed upon the wall 9 around. 
 
 11 And there stood before them seventy 
 men of the 10 elders of the house of Israel, 
 and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah 
 the son of Shaphan, with "each man his 
 censer in his hand; and a thick cloud of 
 incense went up. 
 
 12 Then said he to me, Son of man, hast 
 thou seen what the 12 elders of the house of 
 Israel do in the dark, 13 each man in the 
 chambers of his imagery? for they say, 
 'Jehovah seeth us not ; Jehovah hath for- 
 saken the earth. 
 
 13 If He said also to me, Turn thyself 
 yet again, and thou shalt see greater abo- 
 minations which they do. 
 
 14 Then he brought me to the door of the 
 gate of Jehovah's house which was towards 
 the north ; and behold, there sat women 
 weeping for Tammuz. 
 
 15 If Then said he to me, Hast thou seen 
 this, O son of man ? turn thyself yet again, 
 and thou shalt see greater abominations 
 than these. 
 
 16 And he brought me into the inner court 
 of Jehovah's house, and behold, at the door 
 of the temple of Jehovah, "between the 
 porch and the altar, "were about five and 
 twenty men, "with their backs towards the 
 temple of Jehovah, and their faces towards 
 the east; and they worshipped the sun 
 towards the east. 
 
 17 If Then he said to me, Hast thou seen 
 this, O son of man ? || Is it a light thing to 
 the house of Judah that they commit the 
 abominations which they commit here ? for 
 they have 'filled the land with violence, 
 and have "continually provoked me B : and 
 lo, they put the branch to their ls nose. 
 
 18 'Therefore will I also deal in fury : 
 mine 'eye shall not spare, neither will I 
 have pity : and though they 'cry in "my 
 hearing with a loud voice, yet I will not 
 hear them. 
 
 CHAPTER IX. 
 
 1 A vision, whereby is shewed the preservation of 
 some, 5 and the destruction of the rest. 8 God 
 cannot be entreated for them. 
 
 HE cried also in 'my hearing with a loud 
 voice, sayingj Cause those who have 
 charge over the city to draw near, even 
 every man with his destroying weapon in 
 his hand. 
 
 2 And behold, six men came from the 
 way of the higher gate, twhich lieth towards 
 the north, and every man ta slaughter- 
 weapon in his hand ; "and one man among 
 them was clothed with linen, with a writer's 
 inkstand tby his side : and they went in 
 and stood beside the brazen altar. 
 
 3 And 'the glory of the God of Israel 2 had 
 gone up from the cherub whereupon he 
 was, to the threshold of the house. And 
 he called to the man clothed with linen, 
 who had the writer's inkstand by his side ; 
 
 4 And Jehovah said to him, Go through 
 the midst of the city, through the midst of 
 Jerusalem, and tset 'a mark upon the fore- 
 heads of the men ''who sigh and who cry 
 for all the abominations which 3 are done in 
 the midst thereof. 
 
 5 f And to the others he said in tmy hear- 
 ing, Go ye after him through the city, and 
 smite : 'let not your eye spare, neither have 
 ye pity : 
 
 551 
 
Hie vision of the coals of fire, 
 
 6 'Slay tutterly old and young, both maids, 
 and little children, and women: but r come 
 not near any man on whom is the mark ; 
 and *begin at my sanctuary. 'Then they 
 began at the 4 elders who were before the 
 house. 
 
 7 And he said to them, Defile the house, 
 and fill the courts with the slain: go ye 
 forth. And they went forth, and slew in 
 the city. 
 
 8 If And it came to pass while they were 
 slaying them, and I was left, that I *fell 
 on my face, and cried, and said, 'Ah Lord 
 Jehovah ! wilt thou destroy all the residue 
 of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury 
 upon Jerusalem ? 
 
 9 Then said he to me, The iniquity of the 
 house of Israel and Judah is exceedingly 
 great, and "'the land is tfull of blood, and 
 the city full of || 5 wrong: for they say, "Je- 
 hovah hath forsaken the earth, and "Jeho- 
 vah seeth not. 
 
 10 And as for me also, mine ?eye shall 
 not spare, neither will I have pity, but q I 
 will recompense their way upon their head. 
 
 11 And behold, the man clothed with 
 linen, who had the inkstand by his side, 
 treported the matter, saying, I have done 
 as thou hast commanded me. 
 
 CHAPTER X. 
 
 1 The vision of the coals of fire, to be scattered over 
 the city. 8 The vision of the cherubim. 
 
 THEN I looked, and behold, in the "fir- 
 mament which was above the head of 
 the cherubim there appeared over them as 
 it were a sapphire stone, 'like the appear- 
 ance of the likeness of a throne. 
 
 2 b And he spoke to the man clothed with 
 linen, and said, Go in between the wheels, 
 even under the cherub, and fill tthy hand 
 with 'coals of fire from between the che- 
 rubim, and ^scatter them over the city. 
 And he went in in my sight. 
 
 3 Now the cherubim stood on the right 
 side of the house, when the man went m; 
 and the cloud filled the inner court. 
 
 4 c2 Now the glory of Jehovah 3 had been 
 lifted from the cherub, and *was standing 
 over the threshold of the house; and ! the 
 house was filled with the cloud, and the 
 court was full of the brightness of Je- 
 hovah's glory. 
 
 5 And the f sound of the cherubim's wings 
 was heard even to the outer court, as A the 
 voice of 5 Almighty God when he speaketh. 
 
 6 And it came to pass, that when he had 
 commanded the man clothed with linen, 
 saying, Take fire from between the wheels, 
 from between the cherubim ; then he went 
 in, and stood beside the wheels. 
 
 7 And one cherub tstretched forth his 
 hand from between the cherubim to the 
 fire which was between the cherubim, and 
 took thereof, and put it into the hands of 
 him who was clothed with linen : who took 
 it, and went out. 
 
 8 If "And there appeared in the cherubim 
 the form of a man's hand under their wings. 
 
 9 *And when I looked, behold 6 four 
 wheels by the cherubim, one wheel by one 
 cherub, and another wheel by another che- 
 rub : and the appearance of the wheels was 
 like the colour of a ,8 beryl stone. 
 
 10 And as for their appearances, they four 
 had one likeness, as if a wheel had been in 
 the midst of a wheel.

 11 m When they went, they went on their 
 four sides ; they turned not as they went, 
 but to the place whither the head looked 
 they followed it ; they turned not as they 
 went. 
 
 12 And their whole tbody, and their backs, 
 and their hands, and their wings, and "the 
 wheels, were full of eyes round about, even 
 the wheels which they four had. 
 
 13 As for the wheels, ||it was cried to 
 them in my hearing, 9 wheel ! 
 
 14 "And '"each one had four faces: the 
 first face was the face of a cherub, and the 
 second face was the face of a man, and the 
 third the face of a lion, and the fourth the 
 face of an eagle. 
 
 15 And the cherubim were lifted up. This 
 is the living creature which I saw by the 
 river u Chebar. 
 
 16 'And when the cherubim went, the 
 wheels went by them : and when the che- 
 rubim lifted up their wings to mount up 
 from the earth, the same wheels also turn- 
 ed not from beside them. 
 
 17 r When they stood, these stood; and 
 when they were lifted up, these lifted up 
 themselves also : for the spirit ||of the liv- 
 ing creature was in them. 
 
 18 Then 'the glory of Jehovah 'departed 
 from I2 the threshold of the house, and 
 stood over the cherubim. 
 
 19 And "the cherubim lifted up their 
 wings, and mounted up from the earth in 
 my sight : when they went out, the wheels 
 also were beside them, and ls each stood at 
 the door of the east gate of Jehovah's 
 house ; and the glory of the God of Israel 
 was over them above. 
 
 20 *This is the living creature which I 
 saw under the God of Israel "by the river 14 
 Chebar; and I knew that they were the 
 cherubim. 
 
 21 1,6 Each had four faces 16 , and "each one 
 four wings; "and the likeness of the hands 
 of a man was under their wings. 
 
 22 And l the likeness of their faces was 
 the same faces which I saw by the river of 
 Chebar, their appearances and themselves: 
 c they went every one straight forward. 
 
 CHAPTER XI. 
 
 1 The presumption of the princes. 4 Their sin and 
 judgment. 1 3 Ezekiel complaining, God sheweth 
 him his purpose in saving a remnant, 21 and pu- 
 nishing the wicked. 22 The glory of God leaveth 
 the city. 24 Ezekiel is returned to the captivity. 
 
 MOREOVER, "the spirit lifted me up, 
 and brought me to 'the east gate of 
 Jehovah's house, which looketh eastward : 
 and behold 'at the door of the gate five and 
 twenty men ; among whom I saw Jaaza- 
 niah the son of Azur, and Pelatiah the son 
 of Benaiah, princes of the people. 
 
 2 Then said he to me, Son of man, these 
 are the men who devise mischief, and give 
 wicked counsel in this city : 
 
 3 Who say, \\It is not d near; let us build 
 houses : 'this city is the caldron, and we 
 l are the flesh. 
 
 4 ^ Therefore prophesy against them, 
 prophesy, O son of man. 
 
 5 And 'the Spirit of Jehovah fell upon 
 me, and said to me, Speak ; Thus saith the 
 Lord ; Thus have ye said, O house of Is- 
 rael: for I know the things that come into 
 your mind, every one of mem. 
 
God will save a remnant. 
 
 6 *Ye have multiplied your slain in this 
 city, and ye have filled the streets thereof 
 with the slain. 
 
 7 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah : 
 *Your slain whom ye have laid in the midst 
 of it, they are the flesh, and this city is the 
 caldron : 'but I will bring you forth 'from 
 the midst of it. 
 
 8 Ye have feared the sword: and I will 
 bring a sword upon you, saith the Lord 
 Jehovah. 
 
 9 And I will bring you 3 from the midst 
 thereof, and deliver you into the hands of 
 strangers, and *will execute judgments 
 among you. 
 
 10 'Ye shall fall by the sword ; I will judge 
 
 CHAPTER XII. 
 
 ge 
 all 
 
 you in m the 4 region of Israel ; "and ye shall 
 know that I am Jehovah. 
 
 11 "This city shall not be your caldron, 
 neither shall ye be the flesh in the midst 
 thereof; but I will judge you in the 5 region 
 of Israel : 
 
 12 And p ye shall know that I am Jeho- 
 vah: || for ye have not walked in 6 mine or- 
 dinances, neither executed.my judgments, 
 but 'have done 'according to the manners 
 of the heathen who are "around you. 
 
 13 ||f And it came to pass, when I pro- 
 
 Shesied, that r Pelatiah the son of Benaiah 
 ied. Then 'fell I down on my face, and 
 cried with a loud voice, and said, Ah Lord 
 Jehovah ! wilt thou make a full end of the 
 remnant of Israel ? 
 
 14 Again the word of Jehovah came to 
 me, saying, 
 
 15 Son of man, thy brethren, even thy 
 brethren, the men of thy kindred, and all 
 the house of Israel wholly, are those to 
 whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have 
 said, 'Remove far from Jehovah : to us is 
 this land given in possession. 
 
 16 Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord 
 Jehovah ; Although I have cast them far 
 off among the heathen, and although I have 
 scattered^ them among the countries, 'yet 
 will I be to them 10 like a sanctuary for a 
 short time in the countries where they 
 shall ' have' come. 
 
 17 Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord 
 Jehovah ; "I will even gather you from the 
 people, and assemble you "from the coun- 
 tries where ye have been scattered, and I 
 will give you the land of Israel. 
 
 18 And they shall come thither, and *they 
 shall take away all the detestable things 
 thereof and all the abominations thereof 
 from thence. 
 
 19 And y I will give them one heart, and 
 I will put *a new spirit within you ; and I 
 will take "the stony heart out of their flesh, 
 and will give them a heart of flesh : 
 
 20 'That they may walk in 12 mine ordi- 
 nances, and keep "my judgments, and do 
 them : 'and they shall be my people, and I 
 will be their God. 
 
 21 But as for those whose heart walketh 
 after the "desire of their detestable things 
 and their abominations, ''I will recompense 
 their way upon their own heads, saith the 
 Lord Jehovah. 
 
 22 Tf Then did the cherubim 'lift up their 
 wings, and the wheels beside them; and 
 the glory of the God of Israel was over 
 them above. 
 
 23 And 'the glory of Jehovah went up 
 from the midst of the city, and stood e on

 1 The type of Ezekiel's removing. 8 It shewed the 
 captivity of Zedekiah. 17 Ezekiel's trembling 
 sheweth the Jews' desolation. 21 The Jews' pre- 
 sumptuous proverb is reproved. 26 The speediness 
 of the vision. 
 
 rpHE word of Jehovah also came to me, 
 J- saying, 
 
 2 Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst 
 of "a rebellious house, who 'have eyes to 
 see, and see not ; they have ears to hear, 
 and hear not: 'for they are a rebellious 
 house. 
 
 3 Therefore, thou son of man, prepare 
 thyself llstufTfor 'captivity, and remove by 
 day in their sight ; and tnou shalt remove 
 from thy place to another place in their 
 sight ; it may be they will consider, though 
 they 2 are a rebellious house. 
 
 4 Then shalt thou bring forth thy stuff by 
 day in their sight, 3 like stuff for 4 captivity : 
 and thou shalt go forth 6 in the evening in 
 their sight, tas those who go forth into cap- 
 tivity. 
 
 5 tDig thou through the wall in their sight, 
 and carry out thereby. 
 
 6 In their sight shalt thou bear it on thy 
 shoulders, and carry it forth in the twi- 
 light : thou shalt cover thy face, that thou 
 see not the ground : d for I have set thee 
 for a sign to the house of Israel. 
 
 7 And I did so as 1 6 had been command- 
 ed: I brought forth my stuff by day, as 
 stuff for captivity, and in the evening I 
 tdigged through the wall with my hand ; I 
 brought it forth in the twilight, and I bore 
 it on my shoulder in their sight. 
 
 8 If And in the morning came the word 
 of Jehovah to me, saying, 
 
 9 Son of man, hath not the house of Is- 
 rael, 'the rebellious house, said to thee, 
 'What doest thou ? 
 
 10 Say thou to them, Thus saith the Lord 
 Jehovah ; This ^burden concerneth the 
 
 frince in Jerusalem, and all the house of 
 srael who are among them. 
 
 11 Say, *I am your sign: 7 as I have done, 
 so shall it be done to them: t'they shall 
 remove and go into captivity. 
 
 12 And Hhe prince who is among them 
 shall bear on his shoulder in the twilight, 
 and shall go forth : they shall dig through 
 the wall to carry out thereby: he shall 
 cover his face, that he see not the ground 
 with his eyes. 
 
 13 My 'net also will I spread upon him, 
 and he shall be taken in my snare : and m I 
 will bring him to Babylon to the land of 
 the Chaldeans, yet shall he not see it, 
 though he shall die there. 
 
 14 And "I will scatter towards every 
 wind all who are s around him to help him, 
 and all his bands ; and "I will draw out 
 the sword after them. 
 
 15 "And they shall know that I am Je- 
 hovah, when I shall 'have scattered them 
 
 553 
 
'J lie desolation of the land. 
 
 among the nations, and dispersed them in 
 the countries. 
 
 16 'But I will leave ta few men of them 
 from the sword, from the famine, and from 
 the pestilence ; that they may declare all 
 their abominations among the heathen whi- 
 ther they come ; and they shall know that 
 I am Jehovah. 
 
 17 If Moreover the word of Jehovah 
 came to me, saying, 
 
 18 Son of man, r eat thy bread with quak- 
 ing, and drink thy water with trembling 
 and with '"anxiety ; 
 
 19 And say to the people of the land, 
 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah "concerning 
 the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and of the 
 land of Israel ; They shall eat their bread 
 with '"anxiety, and drink their water with 
 astonishment, that her land may 'be deso- 
 late from tall that is therein, 'because of 
 the violence of all those who dwell therein. 
 
 20 And the cities which are inhabited 
 shall be laid waste, and the land shall be 
 desolate ; and ye shall know that I am 
 Jehovah. 
 
 21 If And the word of Jehovah came to 
 me, saying, 
 
 22 Son of man, what is that proverb which 
 ye have in the land of Israel, saying, "The 
 days are prolonged,and every vision faileth ? 
 
 23 Tell them therefore, Thus saith the 
 Lord Jehovah ; I will make this proverb 
 to cease, and they shall no more use it as 
 a proverb in Israel ; but say to them, *The 
 days are at hand, and the effect of every 
 vision. 
 
 24 For "there shall be no more any *vain 
 vision nor flattering divination within the 
 house of Israel. 
 
 25 For I am Jehovah : I will speak, and 
 "the word which. I shall speak shall come 
 to pass ; it shall be no more prolonged : for 
 in your days, O rebellious house, wdl I say 
 the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord 
 Jehovah. 
 
 26 ^f Again the word of Jehovah came 
 to me, saying, 
 
 27 'Son of man, behold, those of the house 
 of Israel say, The vision which he seeth is 
 "for many days to come, and he prophesieth 
 of the times which are far off. 
 
 28 ^Therefore say to them, Thus saith 
 the Lord Jehovah ; There shall none of 
 my words be prolonged any more, but the 
 word which I have spoken shall be done, 
 saith the Lord Jehovah. 
 
 CHAPTER XIII. 
 
 1 The reproof of lying prophets, 10 and their un- 
 tempered mortar. 17 Of prophetesses and their

 AND the word of Jehovah came to me, 
 saying, 
 
 2 Son of man, prophesy against the pro- 
 phets of Israel who prophesy, and say thou 
 to "tthose who prophesy 'from their own 
 'hearts, Hear ye the word of Jehovah ; 
 
 3 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah ; Wo to 
 the foolish prophets, who tfollow their own 
 spirit, Hand have seen nothing ! 
 
 4 O Israel, thy prophets are c like the 
 2 foxes in the deserts. 
 
 5 Ye ''have not gone up into the Ugaps,

 of Israel to stand in the battle in the day

 there was no peace ; and one built up ||a 
 wall, and lo, others ""plastered it with 
 untempered mortar: 
 
 11 Say to those who "plaster it with un- 
 tempered mortar, that it shall fall : 'there 
 shall be an overflowing shower; and ye, 
 great hailstones, shall fall ; and a stormy 
 wind shall rend it. 
 
 12 Lo, when the wall is fallen, 12 will it 
 not be said to you, Where is the 'plaster- 
 ing wherewith ye have "plastered it ? 
 
 13 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jeho- 
 vah; I will even rend it with a stormy 
 wind in my fury ; and there shall be an 
 overflowing shower in mine anger, and 
 great hailstones in my fury to 15 finish it. 
 
 14 So will I break down the wall which 
 ye have l6 plastered with untempered mor- 
 tar, and bring it down to the ground, so 
 that the foundation thereof shall be "un- 
 covered, and it shall fall, and ye shall be 
 "destroyed in the midst thereof: "and ye 
 shall know that I am Jehovah. 
 
 15 Thus will I accomplish my wrath upon 
 the wall, and upon those who have 19 plas- 
 tered it with untempered mortar, and will 
 say to you, The wall is no more, neither 
 those who 20 plastered it ; 
 
 16 2y Even the prophets of Israel who pro- 
 phesy concerning Jerusalem, and who "see 
 visions of peace for her, and there is no 
 peace, saith the Lord Jehovah. 
 
 17 If Likewise, thou son of man, "set thy 
 face against the daughters of thy people, 
 p who prophesy ^from their own heart; and 
 prophesy thou against them, 
 
 18 And say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah; 
 Wo to the women who sew pillows to all 
 ^elbows, and make ^cushions on the head 
 
 very stature to hunt ^persons ! Will 
 ye 'hunt the 26 persons of my people, and 
 will ye save the ^persons alive who come 
 to you ? 
 
 19 And will ye pollute me among my 
 people 'for handfuls of barley and for 
 pieces of bread, to slay the ^persons who 
 should not die, and to save the ^persons 
 alive who should not live, by your lying 
 to my people who ^listen to your lies ? 
 
 20 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jeho- 
 vah ; Behold, I am against your pillows, 
 wherewith ye there hunt the ''persons ||to 
 make them fly, and I will tear them from 
 your arms, and will let the M persons go, 
 
An exhortation to repentance, 
 
 even the "'persons whom ye hunt to make 
 them fly. 
 
 21 Your "cushions also will I tear, and 
 deliver my people "from, your hand, and 
 they shall be no more in your hand to be 
 hunted ; 'and ye shall know that I am Je- 
 hovah. 
 
 22 Because with lies ye have made the 
 heart of the righteous sad, whom I have 
 not made sad; and 'strengthened the hands 
 of the wicked, that he should not return 
 from his wicked way, ||tby promising him 
 life; 
 
 23 Therefore u ye shall see no more "false- 
 hood, nor divine divinations: for I will 
 deliver my people "from your hand : *and 
 ye shall know that I am Jehovah. 
 
 CHAPTER XIV. 
 
 1 God answereth idolaters according to their own 
 heart. 6 They are exhorted to repent, for fear of 
 judgments, by means of seduced prophets. 12 God's 
 irrevocable sentence of famine, 15 of noisome 
 beasts, 17 of the sword, 19 and of pestilence. 22 A 
 remnant shall be reserved for example of others. 
 
 THEN Ol some of the elders of Israel 
 came to me, and sat before me. 
 
 2 And the word of Jehovah came to me, 
 saying, 
 
 3 Son of man, these men have set up 
 their idols in their heart, and put 'the 
 stumbling-block of their iniquity before 
 their face : "should I be inquired of at all 
 by them ? 
 
 4 Therefore speak to them, and say to 
 them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah ; Eve- 
 ry man of the house of Israel who setteth 
 up his idols in his heart, and putteth the 
 stumbling-block of his iniquity before his 
 face, and cometh to the prophet; I Jeho- 
 vah will answer him who cometh accord- 
 ing to the multitude of his idols ; 
 
 5 That I may take the house of Israel in 
 their own heart, because they are all 
 estranged from me through their idols. 
 
 6 If Therefore say to the house of Israel, 
 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah ; Repent, 
 and turn 2 from your idols ; and turn away 
 your faces from all your abominations. 
 
 7 For every one of the house of Israel, or 
 of the stranger who sojourneth in Israel, 
 who separateth himself from me, and set- 
 teth up his idols in his heart, and putteth 
 the stumbling-block of his iniquity before 
 his face, ancT cometh to a prophet to in- 
 quire of him concerning me; I Jehovah 
 will answer him by myself: 
 
 8 And ''I will set my face against that 
 man, and will make him a 'sign and a pro- 
 verb, and I will cut him off from the midst 
 of my people ; ■'and ye shall know that I 
 am Jehovah. 
 
 9 And if "the prophet be deceived when 
 he hath spoken a thing, I Jehovah f have 
 deceived that prophet, and I will stretch 
 out my hand on him, and will destroy him 
 from the midst of my people Israel. 
 
 10 And they shall bear the punishment 
 of their iniquity : the punishment of the 
 prophet shall be even *like the punishment 
 of him who seeketh to him ; 
 
 11 That the house of Israel may *go no 
 more astray from me, neither be polluted 
 any more with all their transgressions ; ; but 
 that they may be my people, and I may be 
 their God, saitli the Lord Jehovah.

 12 1 The word of Jehovah came again 
 to me, saying, 
 
 13 Son of man, when the land sinneth 
 against me by trespassing grievously, then 
 I will stretch out my hand upon it, and 
 will break the *staiT of the bread thereof, 
 and will send famine upon it, and will cut 
 oft' man and beast from it : 
 
 14 'Though these three men, Noah, Da- 
 niel, and Job, were in it, they should de- 
 liver 6 only their own souls m by their right- 
 eousness, saith the Lord Jehovah. 
 
 15 1f If 1 cause n6 evil beasts to pass 
 through the land, and they 'bereave it, so 
 that it be desolate, ' so' that no man 8 can 
 pass through because of the beasts : 
 
 16 'Though these three men were tin it, 
 as I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, they 
 9 should deliver neither sons nor daughters ; 
 they only '"should be delivered, but the 
 land "should be desolate. 
 
 17 If Or if p i bring a sword upon that 
 land, and say, Sword, go through the land ; 
 so that I 'cut off man and beast from it : 
 
 18 'Though these three men were in it, as 
 I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, they "should 
 deliver neither sons nor daughters, but 
 they only "should be delivered themselves. 
 
 19 1f Or if I send 'a pestilence into that 
 land, and 'pour out my fury upon it in 
 blood, to cut off from it man and beast : 
 
 20 "Though Noah, Daniel, and Job, were 
 in it, as I live,- saith the Lord Jehovah, 
 they "should deliver neither son nor daugh- 
 ter ; they 15 should only deliver their own 
 souls by their righteousness. 
 
 21 For thus saith the Lord Jehovah ; 
 ||Hqw much more when Z I send my four 
 16 grievous judgments upon Jerusalem, the 
 sword, and the famine, and the "evil beast, 
 and the pestilence, to cut off from it man 
 and beast ? 
 
 22 If "Yet, behold, therein shall be left a 
 remnant which shall be brought forth, both 
 sons and daughters: behold, they shall 
 come forth to you, and *ye shall see then- 
 way and their doings: and ye shall be 
 comforted concerning the evil which I 
 have brought upon Jerusalem, even con- 
 cerning all which I have brought upon it. 
 
 23 And they shall comfort you, when ye 
 see their ways and their doings ; and ye 
 shall know that I have not done "without 
 cause all which I have done in it, saith the 
 Lord Jehovah. 
 
 CHAPTER XV. 
 
 1 By the unfitness of the vine branch for any work 
 6 is shewed the rejection of Jerusalem. 
 
 AND the word of Jehovah came to me, 
 saying, 
 
 2 Son of man, 'How is the vine-tree bet- 
 ter than any tree, or than a branch which 
 is among the trees of the forest ? 
 
 3 Shall wood be taken thereof to do any 
 work ? or will men take a pin of it to hang 
 any vessel thereon ? 
 
 4 Behold, "it is cast into the fire for fuel; 
 the fire devoureth both the ends of it, and 
 the "middle of it is burned, tls it 4 fit for 
 any work ? 
 
 5 Behold, when it was whole, it was t 5 fit 
 for no work: how much less shall it be 6 fit 
 yet for any work, when the fire hath de- 
 voured it, and it is burned. ? 
 
 6 % Therefore thus saith the Lord Jeho- 
 vah ; As the vine-tree among the trees of 
 
 555 
 
The original state of Jerusalem. 
 
 the forest, which I have given to the fire 
 for fuel, so will I give the inhabitants of 
 Jerusalem. 
 
 7 And l I will set my face against them ; 
 they shall go out from one fire, and an- 
 other fire shall devour them; d and ye shall 
 know that I am Jehovah, when I set my 
 face against them. 
 
 8 And I will make the land desolate, be- 
 cause they have t 'greatly trespassed, saith 
 the Lord Jehovah. 
 
 CHAPTER XVI. 
 
 1 Under the similitude of a wretched infant is shew- 
 ed the natural state of Jerusalem. 6 God's extra- 
 ordinary love towards her. 15 Her monstrous 
 whoredom. 35 Her grievous judgment. 44 Her 
 sin, matching her mother, and exceeding her sis- 
 ters, Sodom and Samaria, calleth for judgments. 
 60 Mercy is promised her in the end. 
 
 AGAIN the word of Jehovah came to 
 me, saying, 
 
 2 Son of man, "cause Jerusalem to know 
 her abominations, 
 
 3 And say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah 
 to Jerusalem; Thy t 'nativity 'and thy 
 2 birth was of the land of Canaan ; c thy fa- 
 ther was an Amorite, and thy mother a 
 Hittite. 
 
 4 And as for thy 3 birth, d in the day thou 
 wast born thy navel-' cord' was not cut, 
 neither wast thou washed in water ||to 
 4 cleanse thee; thou wast not salted at all, 
 nor 6 swathed at all. 
 
 5 6 No eye pitied thee, to do any of these 
 to thee, to have compassion on thee ; but 
 thou wast cast out in the open field, 7 in the 
 loathing of thy person, in the day 8 when 
 thou wast born. 
 
 6 H And when I passed by thee, and saw 
 thee 'trodden under foot in thine own 
 blood, I said to thee when thou wast in 
 thy blood, Live ; yea, I said to thee when 
 thou wast in thy blood, Live. 
 
 7 C I have tcaused thee to '"increase like 
 the bud of the field, and thou hast increas- 
 ed and "become great, and thou I2 hast at- 
 tained to texcellent ornaments : thy breasts 
 are "formed, and thy hair is grown, where- 
 as thou wast naked and bare. 
 
 8 Now when I passed by thee, and looked 
 upon thee, behold, thy time was the time 
 of love ; 'and I spread my skirt over thee, 
 and covered thy nakedness : yea, I swore 
 to thee, and entered into a covenant with 
 thee, saith the Lord Jehovah, and e thou 
 becamest mine. 
 
 9 Then washed I thee with water ; yea, 
 I thoroughly washed away thy tblood from 
 thee, and I anointed thee with oil. 
 
 10 I clothed thee also with embroidered 
 work, and shod thee with badgers' skin, 
 and I girded thee "around with fine linen, 
 and I covered thee with silk. 
 
 11 I decked thee also with ornaments, 
 and I "put bracelets on thy ls wrists, 'and a 
 "collar on thy neck. 
 
 12 And I put a jewel on thy tforehead, 
 and ear-rings in thine ears, and a beautiful 
 crown on thy head. 
 
 13 Thus wast thou decked with gold 
 and silver ; and thy raiment was of fine 
 linen, and silk, and embroidered work ; 
 *thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and 
 oil ; and thou wast exceedingly "beautiful, 
 and thou didst prosper into a kingdom. 
 
 14 And ra thy renown went forth among 
 the heathen for thy beauty: for it was

 Her lewdness. 
 
 perfect through my comeliness, which I 
 had put upon thee, saith the Lord Jehovah. 
 
 15 U "But thou didst trust in thine own 
 beauty, "and playedst the harlot because 
 of thy renown, and pouredst out thy "lewd- 
 ness on every one that passed by ; his it 
 was. 
 
 16 'And of thy garments thou didst take, 
 and deckedst thy high places with divers 
 colours, and playedst the harlot thereupon : 
 the like things shall not come, neither shall 
 it be so. 
 
 17 Thou hast also taken thy fair jewels 
 of my gold and of my silver, which I had 
 given thee, and madest to thyself images 
 tof men, and didst commit "lewdness with 
 them. 
 
 18 And ,9 didst take thine embroidered 
 garments, and coveredst them : and thou 
 hast set mine oil and mine incense before 
 them. 
 
 19 «My '"food also which I gave thee, fine 
 flour, and oil, and honey, wherewith I fed 
 thee, thou hast even set it before them for 
 ta sweet 21 odour : and thus it was, saith 
 the Lord Jehovah. 
 
 20 'Moreover, thou hast taken thy sons 
 and thy daughters, whom thou M hadst borne 
 to me, and these hast thou sacrificed to 
 them tto be devoured. Is this of thy ^lewd- 
 ness a small matter, 
 
 21 That thou hast slain my children, and 
 delivered them to cause them to pass 
 through the fire M to them ? 
 
 22 And in all thine abominations and thy 
 "lewdness thou hast not remembered the 
 days of thy 'youth, 'when thou wast naked 
 and bare, and wast 26 trodden under foot in 
 thy blood. 
 
 23 And it came to pass, after all thy wick- 
 edness, (wo, wo to thee ! saith the Lord 
 Jehovah ;) 
 
 24 That "thou hast also built "for thyself 
 a brothel house, and "hast made thee a high 
 place in every street. 
 
 25 Thou hast built thy high place "at 
 every head of the way, and hast made thy 
 beauty to be abhorred, and hast opened 
 thy feet to every one who passed by, and 
 multiplied thy ^lewdness. 
 
 26 Thou hast also committed fornication 
 with "the Egyptians thy neighbours, great 
 29 men ; and hast increased thy '"lewdness, 
 to provoke me 81 . 
 
 27 Behold, therefore I have stretched out 
 my hand over thee, and have diminished 
 thine ordinary food, and delivered thee to 
 the will of those who hate thee, "the ||daugh- 
 ters of the Philistines, who are ashamed of 
 thy lewd way. 
 
 28 'Thou hast played the 32 harlot also 
 with the Assyrians, because thou wast in- 
 satiable ; yea, thou hast played the harlot 
 with them, and yet couldest not be satisfied. 
 
 29 Thou hast, moreover, multiplied thy 
 fornication in the land of Canaan 'to Chal- 
 dea; and yet 'with this' thou wast not 
 satisfied 33 . 
 
 30 How weak is thy heart, saith the Lord 
 Jehovah, seeing thou doest all these things, 
 the work of an imperious, ^lewd woman; 
 
 31 ||In that d thou buildest "thy brothel 
 house at the head of every way, and mak- 
 est thy high place in every street; and 
 hast not been as a harlot, in that thou 
 scornest hire ; 
 
God threateneth Jerusalem 
 
 32 But as a wife who committeth adul- 
 tery, who taketh strangers instead of her 
 husband ! 
 
 33 They give gifts to all ^harlots: but 
 "thou givest thy gifts to all thy lovers, and 
 thirest them, that they may come to thee 
 on every side for thy 3T lewdness. 
 
 34 And the contrary is in thee from other 
 women in thy lewdness, whereas none 
 followeth thee to commit "lewdness : and 
 in that thou givest a reward, and no re- 
 ward is given to thee ; therefore thou art 
 contrary. 
 
 35 % Wherefore, O harlot, hear the word 
 of Jehovah : 
 
 36 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah; Be- 
 cause thy ^money was poured out, and thy 
 nakedness discovered through thy "lewd- 
 ness with thy lovers, and with all the idols 
 of thy abominations, and by 'the blood of 
 thy children, whom thou didst give to 
 them; 
 
 37 Behold, therefore, S I will gather all 
 thy lovers, *"to whom thou hast been pleas- 
 ing, and all those whom thou hast loved, 
 with all those whom thou hast hated; I 
 will even gather them ^around against 
 thee, and will discover thy nakedness to 
 them, that they may see all thy naked- 
 ness. 
 
 38 And I will judge thee, tas *women 
 who break wedlock and 'shed blood are 
 judged ; and I will give thee blood in fury 
 and jealousy. 
 
 39 And I will also give thee into their 
 hand, and they shall throw down t44 thy 
 brothel house, and shall break down thy 
 high places : 'they shall strip thee also of 
 thy clothes, and shall take tthy fair jewels, 
 and leave thee naked and bare. 
 
 40 "They shall also bring up a company 
 against thee, "and they snail stone thee 
 with stones, and te cut thee in pieces with 
 their swords. 
 
 41 And they shall "burn thy houses with 
 fire, and 'execute judgments upon thee in 
 the sight of many women: and I will 
 cause thee to 'cease from playing the har- 
 lot, and thou also shalt give no hire any 
 more. 
 
 42 So r will I make my fury towards thee 
 to rest, and my jealousy shall depart from 
 thee, and I will be quiet, and will be no 
 more angry. 
 
 43 Because *thou hast not remembered 
 the days of thy youth, but hast fretted me 
 in all these things; behold, therefore, 'I 
 also will recompense thy way upon thy 
 head, saith the Lord Jehovah: and thou 
 shalt not commit this ^wickedness above 
 all thine abominations. 
 
 44 If Behold, every one who useth pro- 
 verbs shall use this proverb against thee, 
 saying, As is the mother, so is her daugh- 
 ter. 
 
 45 Thou art thy mother's daughter, who 
 loathed her husband and her children ; and 
 thou art the sister of thy sisters, who loath- 
 ed their husbands and their children: "your 
 mother was a Hittite, and your father an 
 Amorite. 
 
 46 And thine elder sister "was Samaria, 
 she and her daughters who ^dwelt at thy 
 left hand : and 'tthy younger sister, who 
 49 dwelt at thy right hand, K was Sodom and 
 her daughters.

 47 Yet hast thou not walked "in their 
 ways, nor done ^according to their abomi- 
 nations : but ||as if that were ' loathed as' 
 a very little thing, "thou wast corrupted 
 more than they, in all thy ways. 
 
 48 As I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, 
 "Sodom thy sister hath not done, she nor 
 her daughters, as thou hast done, thou and 
 thy daughters. 
 
 49 Behold, this was the iniquity of thy 
 sister Sodom, pride, "fulness of bread, and 
 M quiet ease was in her and in her daugh- 
 ters, neither did she strengthen the hand 
 of the poor and needy. 
 
 50 And they were haughty, and *commit- 
 ted abomination before me: therefore C I 
 took them away "according to that which 
 I saw 55 . 
 
 51 Neither hath Samaria committed half 
 of thy sins: but thou hast multiplied thine 
 abominations more than they, and ''hast 
 justified thy sisters ^by all thine abomi- 
 nations which thou hast done. 
 
 52 Thou also, who hast "condemned thy 
 sisters, bear thine own shame for thy sins 
 which thou hast committed more abomina- 
 ble than they: they are more righteous 
 than thou : yea, be thou confounded also, 
 and bear thy shame, in that thou hast jus- 
 tified thy sisters. 
 
 53 'When I shall bring again their capti- 
 vity/the captivity of Sodom and her daugh- 
 ters, and the captivity of Samaria and her 
 daughters, then will J bring again the 
 captivity of thy captives in the midst of 
 them : 
 
 54 That thou mayest bear thine own 
 shame, and mayest be confounded in all 
 that thou hast done, in that thou art g a 
 comfort to them. 
 
 55 When thy sisters, Sodom and her 
 daughters, shall return to their former 
 estate, and Samaria and her daughters 
 shall return to their former estate, then 
 thou and thy daughters shall return to 
 your former estate. 
 
 56 For thy sister Sodom was not tmen- 
 tioned by thy mouth in the day of thy 
 tpride, 
 
 57 Before thy wickedness was discover- 
 ed, as at the time of thy "reproach 58 from 
 the daughters of tSyria, and all that are 
 ^around her, 'the daughters of the Philis- 
 tines, who ||despise thee round about. 
 
 58 Thou hast tborne thy ^wickedness 
 and thine abominations, saith Jehovah. 
 
 59 For thus saith the Lord Jehovah ; I 
 will even deal with thee as thou hast done, 
 who hast 'despised m the oath 61 by breaking 
 the covenant. 
 
 60 If Nevertheless, I will "remember my 
 covenant with thee in the days of thy 
 youth, and I will establish 62 with thee "an 
 everlasting covenant. 
 
 61 Then 'thou shalt remember thy ways, 
 and be ashamed, when thou shalt receive 
 thy sisters, thine elder and thy younger : 
 and I will give them to thee for 'daugh- 
 ters, r but not by thy covenant. 
 
 62 ,6S For I will establish my covenant 
 with thee ; and thou shalt know that I am 
 Jehovah : 
 
 63 That thou mayest 'remember, and be 
 confounded, "and never open thy mouth 
 any more because of thy shame, when I 
 '"shall have been pacified towards thee for

Under a parable, 
 
 all which thou hast done, saith the Lord 
 Jehovah. 
 
 CHAPTER XVII. 
 
 1 Under the parable of two eagles and a vine, 1 1 is 
 shewed God's judgment upon Jerusalem for revolt- 
 ingfrom Babylon to Egypt. 22 God promiseth to 
 plant the cedar of the gospel. 
 
 AND the word of Jehovah came to me, 
 saying, 
 
 2 Son or man, put forth a 'riddle, and 
 speak a parable to the house of Israel ; 
 
 3 And say, Thus saith the Lord Jeho 
 vah; "A great eagle with great wings, 
 long-winged, full of feathers, who had t 2 va 
 rious colours, came to Lebanon, and 'took 
 the highest branch of the cedar : 
 
 4 He cropped off the top of its young 
 twigs, and carried it into a land of traffick; 
 he set it in a city of merchants. 
 
 5 He took also of the seed of the land, 
 and tplanted it in c a fruitful field; he 
 placed it by great waters, and set it d Hike 
 a willow-tree. 
 
 6 And it grew, and became a spreading 
 vine e of low stature, whose branches turn- 
 ed towards him, and the roots thereof were 
 under him: so it became a vine, and brought 
 forth branches, and shot forth 4 green boughs. 
 
 7 There was also another great eagle 
 with great wings and many feathers : and 
 behold, 'this vine did bend its roots to- 
 wards him, and shot forth its branches to- 
 wards him, that he might water it by the 
 5 beds of its plantation. 
 
 8 It was planted in a good 6 field by great 
 waters, that it might bring forth branches, 
 and that it might bear fruit, that it might 
 be a goodly vine. 
 
 9 Say thou, Thus saith the Lord Jeho- 
 vah; Shall it prosper? s7 will he not pull 
 up the roots thereof, and cut off the fruit 
 thereof, that it wither ? it shall wither in 
 all 8 its shooting forth, even without great 
 power or many people to pluck it up by the 
 roots thereof. 
 
 10 Yea, behold, being planted, shall it 
 prosper ? 'shall it not utterly wither, when 
 the east wind toucheth it ? it shall wither 
 in the 9 beds where it grew. 
 
 11 If Moreover the word of Jehovah came 
 to me, saying, 
 
 12 Say now to 'the rebellious house, Know 
 ye not what these things mean? Tell them, 
 Behold, "the king of Babylon I0 came to Je- 
 rusalem, and "took the king thereof, and 
 the princes thereof, and led them with him 
 to Babylon ; 
 
 13 'And 12 took 'one' of the king's seed, 
 and made a covenant with him, m and t 13 took 
 an oath of him : he ,4 took also the mighty 
 of the land : 
 
 14 That the kingdom might be n,5 low, 
 that it might not lift itself up, ibid that by 
 keeping I6 his covenant it might stand. 
 
 15 But "he rebelled against him "by send- 
 ing his ambassadors into Egypt, 'that they 
 might give him horses and 18 many people. 
 'Shall he prosper? shall he escape who 
 doeth such things ? or, shall he break the 
 covenant, and be delivered ? 
 
 16 As I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, 
 Surely "in the place where the king dwell- 
 eth who made him king, whose oath he de- 
 spised, and whose covenant he broke, 19 
 with him in the midst of Babylon he shall 
 die.

 sons: 
 
 18 Seeing he despised the oath by break- 
 ing the covenant, when lo, he had "given 
 his hand, and hath done all these things, 
 he shall not escape. 
 
 19 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jeho- 
 vah ; As I live, surely mine oath which he 
 hath despised, and my covenant which he 
 hath broken, even it will I recompense 
 upon his own head. 
 
 20 And I will x spread my net upon him, 
 and he shall be taken in my snare, and I 
 will bring him to Babylon, and s will 22 con- 
 tend with him there for his trespass which 
 he hath trespassed against me. 
 
 21 And 'all his fugitives with all his 
 bands shall fall by the sword, and those 
 who remain shall be scattered towards all 
 winds : and ye shall know that I Jehovah 
 have spoken it. 
 
 22 If Thus saith the Lord Jehovah ; I will 
 also take of the highest "branch of the high 
 cedar, and will set it; I will crop off from 
 the top of its young twigs *a tender one, 
 and will 'plant it upon a high and eminent 
 mountain : 
 
 23 d23 0n a lofty mountain of Israel will 
 I plant it : and it shall bring forth boughs, 
 and bear fruit, and be a goodly cedar : and 
 'under it shall dwell all fowls of every 
 wing; in the shadow of the branches 
 thereof shall they dwell. 
 
 24 And all the trees of the field shall 
 know that I Jehovah 'have brought down 
 the high tree, have exalted the low tree, 
 have dried up the green tree, and have 
 made the dry tree to flourish : g I Jehovah 
 have spoken and "will do it. 
 
 CHAPTER XVIII. 
 
 1 God reproveth the unjust parable of sour grapes. 
 6 He sheweth how he dealeth with a just father : 
 10 with a wicked son of a just father : 14 with a 
 just son of a wicked father : 19 with a viicked man 
 repenting: 24 with a just man revolting. 25 He 
 defendeth his justice, 31 and exhorteth to repent- 
 ance. 
 
 r piIE word of Jehovah came to me again, 
 
 -L saying, 
 
 2 What mean ye, that ye use this pro- 
 verb concerning the land of Israel, saying, 
 The "fathers have eaten sour grapes, and 
 the children's teeth are set on edge ? 
 
 3^1 live, saith the Lord Jehovah, ye 
 shall not have occasion any more to use 
 this proverb in Israel. 
 
 4 Behold, all souls are mine ; as the soul 
 of the father, so also the soul of the son is 
 mine : the soul that sinneth, he shall die. 
 
 5 ^f But if a man be just, and do tthat 
 which is lawful and right, 
 
 6 'And hath not eaten on the mountains, 
 neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols 
 of the house of Israel, neither hath ''defiled 
 his neighbour's wife, neither hath come 
 near to 'a 'removed woman, 
 
 7 And hath not 'oppressed any, but hath 
 restored to the debtor his * pledge, hath 
 spoiled none by violence, hath "given his 
 bread to the hungry, and hath covered the 
 naked with a garment; 
 
 8 He who hath not given forth on ^in- 
 terest neither hath taken any increase, 
 
God's just dealing with men. 
 
 who hath withdrawn his hand from ini- 
 quity, *hath executed true judgment be- 
 tween man and man, 
 
 9 Hath walked in 3 mine ordinances, and 
 hath kept my judgments, 4 by dealing truly; 
 he is just, he shall surely 'live, saith the 
 Lord Jehovah. 
 
 10 If If he beget a son who is a Hrobber, 
 "a shedder of blood, and \\who doeth the 
 like to any one of these things. 
 
 11 And that doeth not any of those duties, 
 but even hath eaten on the mountains, and 
 defiled his neighbour's wife, 
 
 12 Hath oppressed the poor aud needy, 
 hath spoiled by violence, hath not restored 
 the pledge, and hath lifted up his eyes to 
 the idols, hath "committed abomination, 
 
 13 Hath given forth on 'interest, and hath 
 taken increase : shall he then live ? he shall 
 not live : he hath done all these abomina- 
 tions; he shall surely die; °his tblood shall 
 be on him. 
 
 14 \ Now lo, if he beget a son, who seeth 
 all his father's sins which he hath done, 
 and considereth, and doeth not 6 the like, 
 
 15 r Who hath not eaten on the mountains, 
 neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols 
 of the house of Israel, hath not defiled his 
 neighbour's wife, 
 
 16 Neither hath oppressed any, thath not 
 withholden the pledge, neither hath spoiled 
 by violence, but hath given his bread to 
 the hungry, and hath covered the naked 
 with a garment, 
 
 17 Who hath 'turned his hand from the 
 poor, who hath not received "interest nor 
 increase, hath executed my judgments, 
 hath walked in 9 mine ordinances; he shall 
 not die for the iniquity of his father, he 
 shall surely live. 
 
 18 As for his father, because he cruelly 
 oppressed, spoiled his brother by violence, 
 and did that which is not good among his 
 people, lo, even *he shall die 10 for his ini- 
 quity. 
 
 19 1f Yet say ye, Why? r doth not the son 
 bear the iniquity of the father? When the 
 son hath done that which is lawful and 
 right, and hath kept all "mine ordinances, 
 and hath done them, he shall surely live. 
 
 20 'The 12 soul that sinneth, it shall die. 
 "The son shall not bear the iniquity of the 
 father, neither shall the father bear the 
 iniquity of the son: "the righteousness of 
 the righteous shall be on him, *and the 
 wickedness of the wicked shall be on him. 
 
 21 But "if the wicked will turn from all 
 his sins which he hath committed, and keep 
 all my statutes, and do that which is law- 
 ful and right, he shall surely live, he shall 
 not* die. 
 
 22 *A11 his transgressions which he hath 
 committed, they shall not be mentioned to 
 him : ra by his righteousness which he hath 
 done he shall live. 
 
 23 "Have I any pleasure at all that the 
 wicked should die? saith the Lord Jeho- 
 vah: and not that he should "turn from 
 his ways, and live? 
 
 24 If But 'when the righteous turneth 
 away from his righteousness, and commit- 
 teth iniquity, and doeth according to all 
 the abominations which the wicked man 
 doeth, shall he live? C A11 his righteous- 
 ness which he hath done shall not be ^re- 
 membered : for his trespass which he hath

 away from his wickedness which he hath 
 committed, and doeth that which is lawful 
 and right, he shall save his 20 soul alive. 
 
 28 Because he ff considereth and turneth 
 away from all his transgressions that he 
 hath committed, he shall surely live, he 
 shall not die. 
 
 29 *Yet saith the house of Israel, The 
 way of the Lord is not equal. O house 
 of Israel, are not my ways equal ? are not 
 your ways unequal ? 
 
 30 'Therefore, I will judge you, house 
 of Israel, Z1 each one according to his ways, 
 saith the Lord Jehovah. *Repent, and 
 turn M from all your transgressions ; so 
 iniquity shall not be your ruin. 
 
 31 If 'Cast away from you all your trans- 
 gressions, whereby ye have transgressed : 
 and make you a "new heart and a new 
 spirit: for why will ye die, O house of 
 Israel ? 
 
 32 For n I have no pleasure in the death 
 of him who dieth, saith the Lord Jehovah : 
 wherefore turn 23 , and live ye. 
 
 CHAPTER XIX. 
 
 1 A lamentation for the princes of Israel, under the 
 parable of lions' whelps taken in a pit, 10 and for 
 Jerusalem, under the parable of a wasted vine. 
 
 MOREOVER, "take thou up a lamenta- 
 tion for the princes of Israel, 
 
 2 And say, What is thy mother ? A lion- 
 ess : she lay down among lions, she nou- 
 rished her whelps among young lions. 
 
 3 And she brought up one of her whelps: 
 'he became a young lion, and he learned to 
 Hear the prey : he devoured men. 
 
 4 The nations also heard of him ; he was 
 taken in their pit, and they brought him 
 with chains to the land of 'Egypt. 
 
 5 Now when she saw that she had waited, 
 and her hope was lost, then she took ''an- 
 other of her whelps, and made him a young 
 lion. 
 
 6 'And he went up and down among the 
 lions, 'he became a young lion, and learned 
 to *tear the prey, and devoured men. 
 
 7 And he knew their s palaces and he 
 laid waste their cities ; and the land was 
 desolate, and *all therein, by the noise of 
 his roaring. 
 
 8 *Then the nations set against him on 
 every side from the provinces, and spread 
 their net over him : "he was taken in their 
 pit. 
 
 9 'And they put him in 6 custody ||in chains, 
 and brought him to the king of Babylon : 
 they brought him into ' strong' holds, that 
 his voice "might no more be heard on *the 
 mountains of Israel. 
 
 10 f Thy mother ''was 'like a vine l|in thy 
 "likeness, planted by the waters : she was 
 "■fruitful and full of branches by reason of 
 many waters. 
 
 11 And she had strong rods for the scep- 
 tres of those who bore rule, and her "sta- 
 
 559 
 
The rebellions 
 
 ture was exalted among the thick branches, 
 and she appeared in her height 9 by the mul- 
 titude of ner branches. 
 
 12 But she was plucked up in fury, she 
 was cast down to the ground, and the "east 
 wind dried up her fruit : her strong rods 
 were broken and withered; the fire con- 
 sumed them. 
 
 13 And now she is planted in the 10 desert, 
 in a dry and thirsty ground. 
 
 14 'And fire is gone out of a rod of her 
 branches, which hath devoured her fruit, 
 so that she hath no strong rod to be a scep- 
 tre to rule. 'This is a lamentation, and 
 shall be for a lamentation. 
 
 CHAPTER XX. 
 
 1 God refuseth to be consulted by the elders of Israel. 
 5 He sheweth the story of their rebellions in Egypt, 
 10 in the wilderness, 27 and in the land. 33 He 
 promiseth to gather them by the gospel. 45 Under 
 the name of a forest he sheweth the destruction of 
 Jerusalem. 
 
 AND it came to pass in the seventh year, 
 in the fifth month, the tenth day of the 
 month, that "'some of the elders of Israel 
 came to inquire of Jehovah, and sat before 
 me. 
 
 2 Then came the word of Jehovah to me, 
 saying, 
 
 3 Son of man, speak to the elders of Is- 
 rael, and say to them, Thus saith the Lord 
 Jehovah; Are ye come to inquire of me ? 
 As I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, 1 will 
 not be inquired of by you. 
 
 4 Wilt thou || 'judge them, son of man? 
 wilt thou judge them? d cause them to 
 know the abominations of their fathers : 
 
 5 1f And say to them, Thus saith the Lord 
 Jehovah; In the day when e I chose Israel, 
 and || lifted up my hand to the seed of the 
 house of Jacob, and made myself ' known 
 to them in the land of Egypt, when I lifted 
 up ray hand to them, saying, s l am Jeho- 
 vah your God ; 
 
 6 In the day 2 when I lifted up my hand 
 to them, "to bring them forth 8 from the land 
 of Egypt into a land which I had espied 
 for them, flowing with milk and honey, 
 'which is the glory of all lands : 
 
 7 Then said I to thein, "Cast ye away 
 every man 'the abominations of his eyes, 
 and defile not yourselves with m the idols 
 of Egypt : I am Jehovah your God. 
 
 8 But they rebelled against me, and 
 would not hearken to me: they did not 
 every man cast away the abominations of 
 their eyes, neither did they forsake the 
 idols of Egypt: then I said, I will "pour 
 out my fury upon them, 4 by accomplishing 
 my anger against them in the midst of the 
 land of Egypt. 
 
 _ 9 "But 1 5 acted for my name's sake, that 
 it should not be polluted 6 in the sight of the 
 heathen, among whom they were, in whose 
 sight I made myself known to them, 'Tjy 
 bringing them forth 8 from the land of Egypt. 
 
 10 Tf Wherefore, I 'caused them to go 
 forth 9 from the land of Egypt, and brought 
 them into the 10 desert. 
 
 11 'And I gave them "mine ordinances, 
 and tshewed them my judgments, 'which 
 if a. man do, he shall even live 12 in them. 
 
 12 Moreover, also I gave them my 'sab- 
 baths, to be a sign between me and them, 
 that they might know that I am Jehovah 
 who sanctify them.

 13 But the house of Israel 'rebelled against 
 me in the 13 desert: they walked not in 
 "mine ordinances, and they "despised my 
 judgments, which if a man do, he shall 
 even live in them : and my sabbaths they 
 greatly polluted: then I said, I would 
 pour out my fury upon them in the ^de- 
 sert, to consume them. 
 
 14 *But I 16 acted for my name's sake, 
 that it should not be polluted "in the sight 
 of the heathen, in whose sight I brought 
 them out. 
 
 15 Yet also a I lifted up my hand to them 
 in the l8 desert, that I would not bring them 
 into the land which I had given them, flow- 
 ing with milk and honey, 'which is the 
 glory of all lands ; 
 
 16 "Because they despised my judgments, 
 and walked not in 19 mine ordinances, but 
 polluted my sabbaths: for d their heart 
 went after their idols. 
 
 17 'Nevertheless mine eye spared them 
 from destroying them, neither did I make 
 an end of them in the 20 desert. 
 
 18 But I said to their children in the 
 21 desert, Walk ye not in the ^ordinances 
 of your fathers, neither observe their judg- 
 ments, nor defile yourselves with their 
 idols : 
 
 19 I am Jehovah your God; 'walk in 
 23 mine ordinances, and keep my judg- 
 ments, and do them ; 
 
 20 *And hallow my sabbaths; and they 
 shall be a sign between me and you, that 
 ye may know that I am Jehovah your 
 God. 
 
 21 ^But *the children rebelled against 
 me : they walked not in ^mine ordi- 
 nances, neither kept my judgments 26 by 
 doing them,' which if a man do, he shall 
 even live in them : they polluted my 
 sabbaths : then I said, *I would pour out 
 my fury upon them, to accomplish my 
 anger against them in the 27 desert. 
 
 22 'Nevertheless, I withdrew my hand, 
 and m28 acted for my name's sake, that it 
 should not be polluted in the sight of the 
 heathen, in whose sight I brought them 
 forth. 
 
 23 I lifted up my hand to them also in 
 the ^desert, that "I would scatter them 
 among the heathen, and disperse them 
 through the countries ; 
 
 24 "Because they had not executed my 
 judgments, but had despised ^mine ordi- 
 nances, and had polluted my sabbaths, and 
 p their eyes were after their father's idols. 
 
 25 Wherefore «I gave them also 31 ordi- 
 nances which were not good, and judg- 
 ments whereby they should not live ; . 
 
 26 And I polluted them 32 by their own 
 gifts, in that they caused to pass 'through 
 the fire all that M were born, that I might 
 make them desolate, 34 so that they 'might 
 know that I am Jehovah. 
 
 27 Tf Therefore, son of man, speak to the 
 house of Israel, and say to them. Thus 
 saith the Lord Jehovah, Yet in this your 
 fathers have ""reviled me, ^by tcommit- 
 ting a grievous trespass against me. 
 
 28 For when I had brought them into the 
 land, 3 '' 'concerning which I lifted up my 
 hand, to give it to them, then "they saw 
 every high hill, and all the thick trees, 
 and they offered there their sacrifices, and 
 there they presented the provocation of 
 
The rebellions of Israeli 
 
 their offering : there also they made their 
 *sweet "odour, and poured out their drink- 
 offerings. 
 
 29 Then ||I said to them, What is the 
 high place to which ye go ? and the name 
 thereof is called Bamah to this day. 
 
 30 Wherefore, say to the house of Israel, 
 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah; Are ye 
 polluted after the manner of your fathers ? 
 and commit ye ^lewdness according to 
 their abominations ? 
 
 31 For when ye offer "your gifts, when ye 
 make your sons to pass through the fire, ye 
 pollute yourselves with all your idols, even 
 to this day : and 'shall I be inquired of by 
 you, house of Israel ? ^s I live, saith 
 the Lord Jehovah, I will not be inquired 
 of by you. 
 
 32 And that "which cometh into your 
 mind shall not be at all, which ye say, 
 We will be 40 like the heathen-, 41 like the 
 families of the countries, to serve wood 
 and stone. 
 
 33 If -As I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, 
 surely with a mighty hand, and 'with a 
 stretched-out arm, and with fury poured 
 out, will I rule over you : 
 
 34 And I will bring you out from the 
 people, and will gather you out of the 
 countries wherein ye are scattered, with 
 a mighty hand, and with a stretched-out 
 arm, and with fury poured out. 
 
 35 And I will bring you into the ^desert 
 of the people, and there 'will I ^contend 
 with you face to face. 
 
 36 d44 As I contended with your fathers in 
 the '"desert of the land of Egypt, so will I 
 46 contend with you, saith the Lord Jehovah. 
 
 37 And I will cause you to 'pass under 
 the rod, and I will bring you into lithe 
 bond of the covenant : 
 
 38 And 'I will 47 cleanse out from among 
 you the rebels, and those who transgress 
 against me : I will bring them forth 48 from 
 the country where they sojourn, and ? they 
 shall not enter into the land of Israel : 'and 
 ye shall know that I am Jehovah. 
 
 39 As for you, house of Israel, thus 
 saith the Lord Jehovah ; 'Go ye, serve ye 
 49 each one his idols, and hereafter also, if 
 ye will not hearken to me : *but pollute ye 
 my holy name no more with your gifts, and 
 with your idols. 
 
 40 For ! in my holy mountain, on the 50 lofty 
 mountain of Israel, saith the Lord Jeho- 
 vah, there shall all the house of Israel, all 
 of those in the land, serve me : there "will 
 I accept them, and there will I require 
 your offerings, and the ||first-fruits of your 
 oblations, with all your holy things. 
 
 41 I will accept you with your t "sweet 
 61 odour, when I bring you out from the 
 people, and gather you out of the countries 
 wherein ye have been scattered ; and I 
 will be w reverenced by you before the 
 heathen. 
 
 42 "And ye shall know that I am Jeho- 
 vah, 'when I shall 63 have brought you into 
 the land of Israel, into the country M con- 
 cerning which I lifted up my hand to give 
 it to your fathers. 
 
 43 And 'there shall ye remember your 
 ways, and all your doings wherein ye have 
 been defiled; and r ye shall loathe your- 
 selves in your own sight for all your evils 
 which ye nave committed.

 45 "|f Moreover the word of Jehovah

 46 "Son of man, set thy face towards the 
 south, and drop thy word towards the 
 south, and prophesy against the forest of 
 the south field; 
 
 47 And say to the forest of the south, 
 Hear the word of Jehovah ; Thus saith 
 the Lord Jehovah; Behold, *I will kindle 
 a fire in thee, and it shall devour "every 
 
 Sreen tree in thee, and every dry tree : the 
 aming flame shall not be quenched, and 
 all faces 2 from the south to the north shall 
 be burned therein. 
 
 48 And all flesh shall see that 1 Jehovah 
 have kindled it : it shall not be quenched

 say 65 concerning me, Doth he not speak 
 parables ? 
 
 CHAPTER XXI. 
 
 1 Ezekiel prophesieth against Jerusalem with a sign 
 of sighing. 8 The sharp and bright sword, 18 
 against Jerusalem, 25 against the kingdom, 28 and 
 against the Ammonites. 
 
 AND the word of Jehovah came to me, 
 saying, 
 
 2 "Son of man, set thy face towards Je- 
 rusalem, and Mrop thy word towards the 
 holy places, and prophesy against the land 
 of Israel, 
 
 3 And say to the land of Israel, Thus 
 saith Jehovah ; Behold, I am against thee, 
 and will draw forth my sword out of its 
 sheath, and will cut off from thee c the 
 righteous and the wicked. 
 
 4 Seeing then that I will cut oft" from 
 thee the righteous and the wicked, there- 
 fore shall my sword go forth 'from its 
 sheath against all flesh ''from the south to 
 the north : 
 
 5 That all flesh may know that I Jeho- 
 vah have drawn forth my sword 2 from its 
 sheath: it 'shall not return any more. 
 
 6 ^Sigh therefore, thou son of man, with 
 the breaking of thy loins ; and with bitter- 
 ness sigh before their eyes. 
 
 7 And it shall be, when they say to thee, 
 Wherefore sighest thou ? that thou shalt 
 answer, For the 3 news, because it cometh : 
 and every heart shall melt, and ? all hands 
 shall be feeble, and every spirit shall faint, 
 and all knees tshall be weak Hike water : 
 behold, it cometh, and shall be brought to 
 pass, saith the Lord Jehovah. 
 
 8 f Again the word of Jehovah came to 
 me, saying, 
 
 9 Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus 
 saith Jehovah; Say, "A sword, a sword is 
 sharpened, and also 5 polished : 
 
 10 It is sharpened to make a 6 great slaugh- 
 ter, it is 7 polished that it may glitter ; should 
 we then make mirth ? ||it contemneth the 
 rod of my son, Hike every tree. 
 
 11 And he hath given it to be 9 polished, 
 that it maybe handled : this sword is sharp- 
 ened, and it is 10 polished, to give it into 
 the hand of "the slayer. 
 
 12 Cry and howl, son of man : for it shall 
 be on my people, it shall be on all the 
 princes of" Israel : [[terrors by reason of 
 
 561 
 
Jl sioord draivn against the Ammonites-. 
 
 the sword shall be on my people : "smite 
 therefore upon thy thigh. 
 
 13 "For it is 'tried, and what if the sword 
 "despise even the rod? m it shall be no 
 more, saith the Lord Jehovah. 
 
 14 Thou, therefore, son of man, prophesy, 
 and "smite thine thands together, and let 
 the sword be doubled the third time, the 
 sword of the slain : it is the sword of the 
 great men who are slain, which entereth 
 into their 0l3 inner chambers. 
 
 15 I have set the Upoint of the sword 
 against all their gates, that their heart may 
 faint, and M the causes of ruin be multi- 
 plied: ah! fl Hhou art made bright, 16 thou 
 art [| wrapped up for the slaughter. 
 
 16 'Go * one way or ' the' other, either 
 on the right hand, tor on the left, whither- 
 soever thy face is set. 
 
 17 I will also r smite my hands together, 
 and 'I will cause my fury to rest: I Jeho- 
 vah have said it. 
 
 18 ^[ The word of Jehovah came to me 
 again, saying, 
 
 19 Also, thou son of man, appoint thee 
 two ways, that the sword of the king of 
 Babylon may come : both ,8 shall come 
 forth I9 from one land : and choose thou a 
 place, choose it at the head of the way to 
 the city. 
 
 20 Appoint a way, that the sword may 
 come to ' 20 Rabbah of the Ammonites, and 
 to Judah in Jerusalem the "fortified. 
 
 21 For the king of Babylon stood at the 
 tparting of the way, at the head of the two 
 ways, to use divination ; he 22 shook his 
 arrows together, he consulted with timages, 
 he looked on the liver. 
 
 22 At his right hand was the divination for 
 Jerusalem, to appoint ^battering rams, to 
 open the mouth in the slaughter, to "lift up 
 the voice with shouting, "to appoint batter- 
 ing rams against the gates, to cast ' up' a 
 mount, <moto build a 24 tower. 
 
 23 And it shall be to them ^like a false 
 divination in their sight, |]to those who 
 "have sworn oaths : but he will call to re- 
 membrance the iniquity, that they may be 
 taken. 
 
 24 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jeho- 
 vah ; Because ye have made your iniquity 
 to be remembered, in that your transgres- 
 sions are 26 uncovered, so that in all your 
 doings your sins do appear; because " that 
 ye are come to remembrance, ye shall be 
 taken with the hand. 
 
 25 If And thou, 2 profane wicked prince 
 of Israel, "whose day is come, when ini- 
 quity shall have an end, 
 
 26 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah; Re- 
 move the diadem, and take oft* the crown : 
 """this shall not be the same: 'exalt him 
 that is low, and abase him that is high. 
 
 27 tl will overturn, overturn, overturn 
 it: "and it shall be no more, until he come 
 whose right it is; and I will give it 'to , 
 him. 
 
 28 f And thou, son of man, prophesy 
 and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah 
 ""concerning the Ammonites, and concern- 
 ing their reproach ; even say thou, c29 
 sword, 30 O sword, il t hou art drawn : for the 
 slaughter 32 thou art polished, to consume 
 because of the glittering:

 CHAPTER XXII. 
 
 1 A catalogue of sins in Jerusalem. 13 God will 
 burn them as dross in his furnace. 23 The gene- 
 ral corruption of prophets, priests, princes, and 
 people. 
 
 1 A ND the word of Jehovah came to me, 
 -£*- saying, 
 
 2 Now, thou son of man, "wilt thou || judge, 
 wilt thou judge l the t bloody city, 2 and 
 tshew her all her abominations ? 
 
 3 Then say thou, Thus saith the Lord 
 Jehovah ; Ihe city sheddeth blood in the 
 midst of it, that her time may come, and 
 maketh idols against herself to defile her- 
 self. 
 
 4 Thou art become guilty 3 by thy blood 
 which thou hast c shed ; and hast defiled 
 thyself 4 by thine idols which thou hast 
 made ; and thou hast caused thy days to 
 draw near, and art come even to thy 
 years : ""therefore have I made thee a re- 
 proach to the heathen, and a Merision to 
 all countries. 
 
 5 Those that e are near, and those that ''are 
 far from thee, shall mock thee, who art 
 tinfamous and much disturbed. 
 
 6 Behold, e the princes of Israel, every 
 one were in thee to their tpower to shed 
 blood. 
 
 7 In thee have they ^despised father and 
 mother: in the midst of thee have they 
 f dealt by || oppression with the stranger: 
 in thee have they '"oppressed the fatherless 
 and the widow. 
 
 8 Thou hast "despised my holy things, 
 and hast 'profaned my sabbaths. 
 
 9 In thee are t"men who carry tales to 
 shed blood: 'and in thee they eat on the 
 mountains: in the midst of thee they com- 
 mit lewdness. 
 
 10 In thee have they m "uncovered their 
 fathers' nakedness : in thee have they 
 humbled her who was "set apart for pol- 
 lution. 
 
 11 And ||one hath committed abomina- 
 tion "with his neighbour's wife ; and Han- 
 other 'hath Hlewdly defiled his daughter- 
 in-law; and another in thee hath humbled 
 his 'sister, his father's daughter. 
 
 12 In thee r have they taken 12 bribes to 
 shed blood ; 'thou hast taken "interest and 
 increase, and thou hast greedily gained of 
 thy neighbours by extortion, and 'hast for- 
 gotten me, saith the Lord Jehovah. 
 
 13 f Behold, therefore I have "smitten 
 my hand at thy dishonest gain which thou 
 hast made, and at thy blood which hath 
 been in the midst of thee. 
 
 14 *Can thy heart endure, or can thy 
 hands be strong, in the days 14 when 1 
 
God will burn the Jews as dross. 
 
 shall deal with thee? "I Jehovah have 
 spoken it, and will do it. 
 
 15 And *I will scatter thee among the 
 heathen, and disperse thee in the coun- 
 tries, and "will consume thy ^pollution 
 out of thee. 
 
 16 And thou ||shalt take thine inheritance 
 in thyself in the sight of the heathen, and 
 *thou shalt know that I am Jehovah. 
 
 17 And the word of Jehovah came to me, 
 saying, 
 
 18 Son of man, c the house of Israel is to 
 me become dross : they are all brass, and 
 tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the 
 furnace; they are even the tdross of silver. 
 
 19 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jeho- 
 vah, Because ye ls have all become dross, 
 behold, therefore I will gather you into the 
 midst of Jerusalem. 
 
 20 t«#s they gather silver, and brass, and 
 iron, and lead, and tin, into the midst of 
 the furnace, to blow the fire upon it, to 
 melt it; so will I gather you in mine an- 
 ger and in my fury, and I will leave you 
 there, and melt you. 
 
 21 Yea, I will gather you, and d blow upon 
 you in the fire of my wrath, and ye shall 
 be melted in the midst thereof. 
 
 22 As silver is melted in the midst of the 
 furnace, so shall ye be melted in the midst 
 thereof; and ye shall know that I Jehovah 
 have "poured out my fury upon you. 
 
 23 f And the word of Jehovah came to 
 me, saying, 
 
 24 Son of man, say to her, Thou art the 
 land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon 
 in the day of indignation. 
 
 25 f There is a conspiracy of her prophets 
 in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion 
 "tearing the prey ; they ff have devoured 
 18 persons; *they have taken the treasure 
 and precious tilings ; they have made her 
 many widows in the midst thereof. 
 
 26 'Her priests have tviolated my law, and 
 have *profaned my holy things : they have 
 19 made no 'difference between the holy and 
 profane, neither have they shewed differ- 
 ence between the unclean and the clean, 
 and have hidden their eyes from my sab- 
 baths, and I am profaned among them. 
 
 27 Her ""princes in the midst thereof are 
 like wolves 20 tearing the prey, to shed 
 blood, and to destroy 21 persons, to get dis- 
 honest gain. 
 
 28 And "her prophets have ^plastered 
 them with untempered mortar, "seeing 
 '"falsehood, even divining lies to them, 
 saying, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, 
 when Jehovah hath not spoken. 
 
 29 'The people of the land have used 
 lloppression, and exercised robbery, and 
 have "oppressed the poor and needy: yea, 
 they have 'oppressed the stranger twrong- 
 fully. 
 
 30 'And I sought for a man among them, 
 who "might 'make up the hedge, and 'stand 
 in the gap before me for the land, that I 
 should not destroy it : but I found none. 
 
 31 Therefore, have I "poured out mine 
 indignation upon them ; I have consumed 
 them with the fire of my wrath : *their own 
 way have I recompensed upon their heads, 
 saith the Lord Jehovah.

 Aholah and Aholibah , s lewdness. 
 
 reproveth the adulteries of them both, 45 and shew- 
 eth their judgments. 
 
 THE word of the Lord came again to me, 
 saying, 
 
 2 Son of man, there were "two women, 
 the daughters of one mother : 
 
 3 And 4 they committed 2 lewdness in 
 Egypt; they committed lewdness in 
 c their youth: there were their breasts 
 pressed, and there they bruised the 4 paps 
 of their virginity. 
 
 4 And the names of them were Aholah 
 the elder, and Aholibah her sister; and 
 d they 6 became mine, and they bore sons 
 and daughters. Thus were their names; 
 Samaria is ||Aholah, and Jerusalem ||Aho- 
 libah. 
 
 5 And Aholah played the harlot when 
 she was mine ; and she doted on her 
 lovers, on 'the Assyrians her neighbours, 
 
 6 Who were clothed with blue, govern- 
 ors and rulers, all of them desirable young 
 men, horsemen riding upon horses. 
 
 7 Thus she fplayed the harlot with them, 
 with all those who were tthe chosen men 
 of Assyria, and with all on whom she doted ; 
 with all their idols she defiled herself. 
 
 8 Neither left she her lewdness brought 
 / from Egypt : for in her youth they lay 
 with her, and they bruised the breasts of 
 her virginity, and poured their lewdness 
 upon her. 
 
 9 Wherefore, I have delivered her into 
 the hand of her lovers, into the hand of 
 the ^Assyrians, on whom she doted. 
 
 10 These ftl0 uncovered her nakedness: 
 they took her sons and her daughters, and 
 slew her with the sword : and she became 
 tfamous among women; "because they had 
 executed judgment upon her. 
 
 11 And 'when her sister Aholibah saw 
 this, A tshe was more corrupt in her 12 doting 
 than she, and in her '"lewdness tmore than 
 her sister in her 'lewdness. 
 
 12 She doted on the 'Assyrians her neigh- 
 bours, ml5 governors and rulers clothed 
 16 perfectly, horsemen riding on horses, all 
 of them desirable young men. 
 
 13 Then I saw that she was defiled, that 
 they took both one way; 
 
 14 And that she increased her "lewdness : 
 for when she saw men portrayed upon the 
 wall, the images of the Chaldeans portray- 
 ed with vermilion, 
 
 15 Girded with girdles upon their loins, 
 exceeding in 18 dyed attire on their heads, 
 all of them princes ' 9 in appearance, after 
 the 20 likeness of the Babylonians of Chal- 
 dea, the land of their nativity: 
 
 16 "And tas soon as she saw them with 
 her eyes, she doted on them, and sent 
 messengers to them into Chaldea. 
 
 17 And the tBabylonians came to her 
 into the bed of love, and they defiled her 
 with their 21 lewdness, and she was polluted 
 with them, and "her mind was talienated 
 from them. 
 
 18 So she K un covered her lewdness, and 
 ^uncovered her nakedness: then p my mind 
 was alienated from her, 24 as my mind M had 
 been alienated from her sister. 
 
 19 Yet she multiplied her ^lewdness, by 
 calling to remembrance the days of her 
 youth, 'wherein she had played the harlot 
 in the land of Egypt. 
 
 20 For she doted on their paramours, 
 
 563 
 
\- 
 
 The judgments of 
 
 r whose flesh 21 was like the flesh of asses, 
 and whose issue u was like the issue of 
 horses. 
 
 21 Thus thou calledst to remembrance 
 the 29 wickedness of thy youth, in bruising 
 thy ^paps by the Egyptians for the 3I breasts 
 of thy youth. 
 
 22 "|f Therefore, Aholibah, thus saith 
 the Lord Jehovah ; 'Behold, I will raise 
 up thy lovers against thee, from whom thy 
 mind is alienated, and I will bring them 
 against thee on every side ; 
 
 23 The Babylonians, and all the Chal- 
 deans, (32 Pekod, and Shoa, and Koa, and 
 all the Assyrians with them : "all of them 
 desirable young men, ^governors and ru- 
 lers, 34 warriors and renowned, all of them 
 riding on horses. 
 
 24 And they shall come against thee with 
 35 weapons, chariots, and carriages, and with 
 an assembly of people, who shall set against 
 thee M shield and 37 buckler and helmet 
 3S around : and I will set judgment before 
 them, and they shall judge thee according 
 to their judgments. 
 
 25 And I will set my jealousy against 
 thee, and they shall deal furiously with 
 thee : they shall take away thy nose and 
 thine ears ; and thy remnant shall fall by 
 the sword : they snail take thy sons and 
 thy daughters ; and thy ^remnant shall be 
 devoured by the fire. 
 
 26 *They shall also strip thee out of thy 
 clothes, and take away thy tfair jewels. 
 
 27 Thus ^will I make thy 40 wickedness to 
 cease from thee,and *thy 41 le wdness brought 
 from the land of Egypt: so that thou shalt 
 not lift up thine eyes to them, nor remem- 
 ber Egypt any more. 
 
 28 For thus saith the Lord Jehovah; Be- 
 hold, I will deliver thee into the hand of 
 those "whom thou hatest, into the hand of 
 those 'from whom thy mind is alienated : 
 
 29 And they shall deal with thee fin 
 hatred, and shall take away all 43 thine 
 earnings, and 'shall leave thee naked and 
 bare : and the nakedness of thy "lewdness 
 shall be "uncovered, both thy 46 wickedness 
 and thy "lewdness. 
 
 SO I will do these things to thee, because 
 thou hast ^gone 48 lewdly after the heathen, 
 and because thou art polluted with their 
 idols. 
 
 31 Thou hast walked in the way of thy 
 sister ; therefore will I give her 'cup into 
 thy hand. 
 
 32 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah ; Thou 
 shalt drink of thy sister's cup, 'which is' 
 deep and large : •''thou shalt be laughed 
 49 at and ^derided ; it containeth much. 
 
 33 Thou shalt be filled with drunken- 
 ness and sorrow, with the cup of astonish- 
 ment and desolation, with the cup of thy 
 sister Samaria. 
 
 34 Thou shalt g even drink it and suck it 
 out, and thou shalt break the sherds there- 
 of, and pluck off* thine own breasts : for I 
 have spoken it, saith the Lord Jehovah. 
 
 35 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jeho- 
 vah ; Because thou ""hast forgotten me, and 
 ■cast me behind thy back,therefore bear thou 
 also thy "wickedness and thy ^lewdness. 
 
 36 If Jehovah said, moreover, to me; 
 Son of man, wilt thou Ml judge Aholah and 
 Aholibah ? ^then, 'declare to them their 
 abomi nations;

 37 That they have committed adultery, 
 and "blood is in their hands, and with 
 their idols have they committed adultery, 
 and have also caused their sons, "whom 
 they bore to me, to pass for them through 
 the fire, to devour them. 
 
 38 Moreover, this they have done to me: 
 they have defiled my sanctuary on the 
 same day, and "have profaned my sab- 
 baths. 
 
 39 For when they had slain their children 
 to their idols, then they came the same day 
 into my sanctuary to profane it ; and lo, 
 p thus have they done in the midst of my 
 house. 
 
 40 And furthermore, S4 ye have 6ent for 
 men tto come from far, «to whom a mes- 
 senger was sent ; and lo, they came : for 
 whom thou didst 'wash thyself, 'paintedst 
 thine eyes, and deckedst thyself with or- 
 naments, 
 
 41 And satest upon a tstately 'bed, and 
 a table prepared before it, "whereupon thou 
 hast set mine incense and mine oil. 
 
 42 And a voice of a multitude being at 
 ease was with her : and with the men tof 
 the common sort were brought |]Sabeans 
 from the 65 desert, who put bracelets upon 
 their 6e wrists, and beautiful crowns upon 
 their heads. * 
 
 43 Then said I to her who was old in 
 adulteries, "Will they now commit "^"lewd- 
 ness with her, and she with them ? 
 
 44 Y et they went in to her, as they go in to 
 a woman that playeth the harlot : so went 
 they in to Aholah and to Aholibah, the 
 68 wicked women. 
 
 45 "If And the 59 just men, they shall "judge 
 them after the manner of adulteresses, and 
 after the manner of women who shed blood ; 
 because they are adulteresses, and ''blood 
 is in their hands. 
 
 46 For thus saith the Lord Jehovah ; *I 
 will bring up a company upon them, and will 
 give them tto be removed and 60 plundered. 
 
 47 "And the company shall stone them 
 with stones, and 6, cut them in pieces with 
 their swords; 'they shall slay their sons 
 and their daughters, and burn up their 
 houses with fire. 
 
 48 Thus 'will I cause ^wickedness to 
 cease out of the land, ""that all women 
 may be taught not to do ^according to your 
 "wickedness. 
 
 49 And they shall recompense your 65 wick- 
 edness upon you, and ye shall 'bear the 
 sins of your idols: 'and ye shall know that 
 I am the Lord Jehovah. 
 
 CHAPTER XXIV. 
 
 1 Under the parable of a boiling pot, 6 is shewed the 
 irrevocable destruction of Jerusalem. 15 By the 
 sign of Ezekiel not mourning for the death of his 
 wife, 19 is shewed the calamity of the Jews to be 
 beyond all sorrow. 
 
 AGAIN in the ninth year, in the tenth 
 month, in the tenth day of the month, 
 the word of Jehovah came to me, saying, 
 
 2 Son of man, write thee the name of the 
 day, even of this 'very day : the king of 
 Babylon set himself against Jerusalem "this 
 2 very day. 
 
 3 'And utter a parable to the rebellious 
 house, and say to them, Thus saith the 
 Lord Jehovah; 'Set on a pot, set it on, 
 and also pour water into it : 
 
 4 Gather the pieces thereof into it, even 
 
Jerusalem's destruction is shelved. 
 
 every good piece, the thigh, and the shoul- 
 der ; till it with the choice bones. 
 
 5 Take the choice of the flock, and 3 pile 
 also the bones under it, and make it boil 
 well, and let them 4 boil the bones of it 
 therein. 
 
 6 If Wherefore thus saith the Lord Je- 
 hovah ; Wo to ''the bloody city, to the pot 
 whose 6 rust is therein, and whose 6 rust is 
 not gone out of it ! bring it out piece by 
 piece ; let no 'lot fall upon it. 
 
 7 For her blood is in the midst of her ; 
 she set it upon the top of a rock ; 'she 
 poured it not on the ground, to cover it 
 with dust; 
 
 8 That it might cause fury to come up to 
 take vengeance ; S I have set her blood on 
 the top of a rock, that it should not be 
 covered. 
 
 9 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah ; 
 'Wo to the bloody city ! I will even make 
 the pile 7 great. 
 
 10 Heap on wood, kindle the fire, con- 
 sume the flesh, and spice it well, and let 
 the bones be burned. 
 
 11 Then set it empty on the coals there- 
 of, that the brass of it may be hot, and 
 may burn, and that 'the filthiness of it may 
 be "melted in it, that the 9 rust of it may be 
 consumed. 
 
 12 She hath wearied herself with lies, and 
 her great 10 rust went not forth "from her : 
 her 12 rust shall be in the fire. 
 
 13 In thy filthiness is "wickedness : be- 
 cause I ' would' have w cleansed thee, and 
 thou wast not 15 cleansed, thou shalt not be 
 ,6 cleansed from thy filthiness any more 
 Hill I have caused my fury to rest upon 
 thee. 
 
 14 'I Jehovah have spoken it: it shall 
 come to pass, and I will do it; I will not 
 go back, "neither will I spare, neither will 
 1 repent ; according to thy ways, and ac- 
 cording > to thy doings, shall they judge 
 thee, saith the Lord Jehovah. 
 
 15 ^f Also the word of Jehovah came to 
 me, saying, 
 
 16 Son of man, behold, I take away from 
 thee the desire of thine eyes with a "stroke : 
 yet neither shalt thou mourn nor weep, 
 neither shall thy tears trun down. 
 
 17 tForbear to 18 groan, "make no mourn- 
 ing for the dead, "bind I9 thy turban on thee, 
 and p put on thy shoes on thy feet, and 'co- 
 ver not thy t ao beard, and eat not the bread 
 of men. 
 
 18 So I spoke to the people in the morn- 
 ing : and at "evening my wife died ; and I 
 did in the morning as I was commanded. 
 
 19 IT And the people said to me, 'Wilt 
 thou not tell us what these things are to 
 us, that thou doest so ? 
 
 20 Then 1 answered them, The word of 
 Jehovah came to me, saying, 
 
 21 Speak to the house of Israel, Thus 
 saith the Lord Jehovah; Behold, *I will 
 profane my sanctuary, the excellency of 
 your strength, 'the desire of your eyes, 
 and M the beloved of your soul; "and your 
 sons and your daughters whom ye nave 
 left shall fall by the sword. 
 
 22 And ye shall do as I have done : 'ye 
 shall not cover your "'beards, nor eat the 
 bread of men. 
 
 23 And your "turbans shall be on your 
 heads, and your shoes on your feet: "ye

 one towards another.

 do : 'and when this cometh, c ye shall know 
 that I am the Lord Jehovah. 
 
 25 Also, thou son of man, shall it not be 
 in the day when I take from them d their 
 strength, the joy of their glory, the desire 
 of their eyes, and tthat whereon they set 
 their minds, their sons and their daughters, 
 
 26 T7iat 'he who escapeth in that day shall 
 come to thee, to cause thee to hear it with 
 thine ears ? 
 
 27 'In that day shall thy mouth be opened 
 to him who is escaped, and thou shalt 
 speak, and be no more dumb : and *thou 
 shalt be a sign to them ; and they shall 
 know that I am Jehovah. 
 
 CHAPTER XXV. 
 
 1 God's vengeance, for their insolency against the 
 Jews, upon the Ammonites ; 8 upon Moab and Seir ; 
 12 upon Edom, 15 and upon the Philistines. 
 
 HHHE word of Jehovah came again to 
 
 
 me, saying, 
 
 2 Son of man, "set thy face 'against the 
 Ammonites, and prophesy against them ; 
 
 3 And say to the Ammonites, Hear the 
 word of the Lord Jehovah; Thus saith 
 the Lord Jehovah ; 'Because thou saidst, 
 Aha, against my sanctuary, when it was 
 profaned ; and against the land of Israel, 
 when it was desolate; and against the 
 house of Judah, when they went into cap- 
 tivity ; 
 
 4 Behold, therefore I will deliver thee to 
 the tmen of the east for a possession, and 
 they shall set their 'villages in thee, and 
 make their dwellings in thee : they shall 
 eat thy fruit, and they shall drink thy 
 milk. 
 
 5 And I will make d Rabbah "a 2 pasture 
 for camels, and the Ammonites a couch- 
 ing-place for flocks : 'and ye shall know 
 that I am Jehovah. 
 
 6 For thus saith the Lord Jehovah ; Be- 
 cause thou *hast clapped thy thands, and 
 stamped with the tfeet, and "rejoiced in 
 theart with all "thine arrogance against 
 the land of Israel ; 
 
 7 Behold, therefore I will 'stretch out my 
 hand upon thee, and will deliver thee for 
 [|a spoil to the heathen; and I will cut 
 thee 'oft' from the 'nations, and I will 
 cause thee to perish 5 from the countries : 
 I will destroy thee ; and thou shalt know 
 that I am Jehovah. 
 
 8 If Thus saith the Lord Jehovah ; Be- 
 cause that *Moab and 'Seir 6 say, Behold, 
 the house of Judah is like to all the hea- 
 then ; 
 
 9 Therefore, behold, I will open the tside 
 of Moab from the cities, from his cities 
 which are on his frontiers, the glory of the 
 country, Beth-jeshimoth, Baal-meon, and 
 Kiriathaim, 
 
 10 m To the men of the east T against the 
 Ammonites, and will give them in posses- 
 sion, that the Ammonites "may not be re- 
 membered among the nations. 
 
 11 And I will execute judgments upon 
 Moab ; and they shall know that I am Je- 
 hovah. 
 
 12 If Thus saith the Lord Jehovah ; "Be- 
 cause that Edom hath dealt against the 
 
 565 
 
Tyre is threatened wiih 
 
 house of Judah tby taking vengeance, and 
 hath greatly offended, and avenged him- 
 self on them ; 
 
 13 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jeho- 
 vah ; I will also stretch out my hand on 
 Edom, and will cut off man and beast 
 from it ; and I will make it 8 a desolation 
 from Teman ; and 9 even to Dedan ' they' 
 shall fall by the sword. 
 
 14 And p \ will lay my vengeance on 
 Edom by the hand of my people Israel : 
 and they shall do in Edom according to 
 mine anger and according to my fury; 
 and they shall know my vengeance, saith 
 the Lord Jehovah. 
 
 15 ^f Thus saith the Lord Jehovah; 'Be- 
 cause 'the Philistines have dealt by re- 
 venge, and have taken vengeance with 
 '"an arrogant heart, to destroy it [| for the 
 old hatred ; 
 
 16 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jeho- 
 vah; Behold, 'I will stretch out my hand 
 on the Philistines, and I will cut off the 
 'Cherethims, "and destroy the remnant of 
 the ||sea coast. 
 
 17 And I will ^execute great tvengeance 
 upon them with furious rebukes; y and they 
 shall know that I am Jehovah, when I 
 shall lay my vengeance upon them. 
 
 CHAPTER XXVI. 
 
 1 l Tyre, for insulting against Jerusalem, is threat- 
 ened. 7 The power of Nebuchadrezzar against 
 her. 15 The mourning and astonishment of the 
 sea at her fall. 
 
 A ND it came to pass in the eleventh 
 
 EZEKIEL. 
 
 f. 
 
 came to pass in 
 year, on the first day of the month, 
 that the word of Jehovah came to me, 
 saying, 
 
 2 Son of man, "because that 2 Tyre hath 
 said against Jerusalem, 'Aha, she is broken 
 who was the gates of the people : 3 she is 
 turned to me : I shall be replenished, now 
 she is laid waste : 
 
 3 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah ; 
 Behold, I am against thee, 4 Tyre, and 
 will cause many nations to come up against 
 thee, as the sea causeth its waves to come 
 up. 
 
 4 And they shall destroy the walls ot 
 6 Tyre, and break down her towers : I will 
 also scrape her 6 earth from her, and c make 
 her like 7 a dry rock. 
 
 5 She shall be a place for the spreading 
 of nets d in the midst of the sea: for I have 
 spoken it, saith the Lord Jehovah: and 
 she shall become a 8 booty to the nations. 
 
 6 And her daughters who are in the field 
 shall be slain by the sword; 'and they shall 
 know that I am Jehovah. 
 
 7 If For thus saith the Lord Jehovah; 
 Behold, I will bring upon 9 Tyre, Nebu- 
 chadrezzar king of Babylon, f n king of 
 kings, from the north, with horses, and 
 with chariots, and with horsemen, and 
 companies, and 10 many people. 
 
 8 He shall slay with the sword thy daugh- 
 ters in the field : and he shall e make a 
 "tower against thee, and ||cast 'up' a mount 
 against thee, and lift up the buckler against 
 thee. 
 
 9 And he shall set I2 the strokes of his 
 battering rams against thy walls, and with 
 his axes he shall break down thy towers. 
 
 10 By reason of the abundance of his 
 horses, their dust shall cover thee: thy 
 walls shall shake at the noise of the horse-

 is made a breach. 
 
 11 With the hoofs of his horses shall he 
 "trample all thy streets : he shall slay thy 
 people by the sword, and thy strong 15 forts 
 shall go clown to the ground. 
 
 12 And they shall make a spoil of thy 
 riches, and make a prey of thy merchan- 
 dise : and they shall break down thy walls, 
 and destroy tthy pleasant houses : and they 
 shall lay thy stones, and thy timber, and 
 16 thine earth, in the midst of the water. 
 
 13 *And I will cause the noise of 'thy

 Jehovah have spoken it, saith the Lord 
 Jehovah.

 I8 Tyre; Shall not the isles 'shake at the 
 sound of thy fall, when the wounded cry, 
 when the slaughter is made in the midst 
 of thee ? 
 
 16 Then all the "princes of the sea shall 
 "come down from their thrones, and lay 
 away their robes, and put off their em- 
 broidered garments : they shall clothe 
 themselves with ttrembling; "they shall 
 sit on the ground, and 'shall tremble 19 
 every moment, and «be astonished at thee. 
 
 17 And they shall take up a 'lamentation 
 for thee, and say to thee, How art thou 
 destroyed, that wast inhabited t 20 by sea- 
 faring men, the renowned city, who wast 
 'strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, 
 who cause their terror to be on all that 
 21 frequent her ! 
 
 18 Now, shall 'the isles tremble in the 
 day of thy fall ; yea, the isles which are in 
 the sea shall be troubled at thy departure. 
 
 19 For thus saith the Lord Jehovah; 
 When I shall make thee a desolate city, 
 like the cities which are not inhabited ; 
 when I shall bring up the deep upon thee, 
 and great waters shall cover thee ; 
 
 20 W'hen I shall bring thee down "with 
 those who descend into the pit, ^to the 
 people of old time, and shall set thee in 
 the "lowest parts of the earth, in places 
 desolate of old, with those who go down 
 to the pit, that thou be not inhabited ; and 
 I shall set glory *in the land of the living; 
 
 21 "I will malce thee ta terror, and thou 
 shalt be no more : 'though thou be sought 
 for, yet shalt thou never be found again, 
 saith the Lord Jehovah. 
 
 CHAPTER XXVII. 
 
 1 The rich supply of Tyre. 26 The great and un- 
 recoverable fall thereof. 
 
 nnHE word of Jehovah came again to 
 
 
 me, saying, 
 
 2 Now, thou son of man, "take up a la- 
 mentation for 'Tyre ; 
 
 3 And say to 2 Tyre, l O thou that art 
 situated at the "entrance of the sea, who 
 art c a merchant of the people for many 
 isles, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah; O 
 4 Tyre, thou hast said, d I am tof perfect 
 beauty. 
 
 4 Thy borders are in the tmidst of the 
 seas, thy builders have perfected thy 
 beauty. 
 
The riches and commerce of Tyre. 
 
 CHAPTER XXVIII. 
 
 Her irrecoverable fall 
 
 5 They have tmadc all thy \lecks of 
 6 cy press -trees of 'Senir : they have taken 
 cedars from Lebanon to make masts for 
 thee. 
 
 6 Of the oaks of Bashan have they made 
 thine oars; ||tthe company of the Ashurites 
 have made thy benches of ivory, brought 
 
 from 'the isles of Chittim. 
 
 7 'Embroidered linen from Egypt was 
 that which thou spreadest forth to be thy 
 'banner ; ||blue and purple from the isles 
 of Elishah was that which covered thee. 
 
 8 The inhabitants of Zidon and Arvad 
 were thy '"rowers : thy "skilful men, 
 ,2 Tyre, who were in thee, were thy l3 sail- 
 ors. 
 
 9 The ancients of *Gebal and the wise 
 men thereof were in thee thy || tcalkers : 
 all the ships of the sea with their mariners 
 were in thee to "barter thy merchandise. 
 
 10 Those of Persia, and of Lud, and of 
 *Phut, were in thine army, thy men of war : 
 they hanged the "buckler and helmet in 
 thee ; they set forth thy comeliness. 
 
 1 1 The men of Arvad with thine army 
 were upon thy walls round about, and the 
 '"fierce warriors were in thy towers : they 
 hanged their shields on thy walls round 
 about; they have made 'thy beauty per- 
 fect. 
 
 12 'Tarshish was thy merchant by reason 
 of the "abundance of all kinds of riches ; 
 with silver, iron, tin, and lead, they traded 
 in thy fairs. 
 
 13 ""Greece, Tubal, and Meshech, they 
 were thy merchants : they traded ""the per- 
 sons of men and vessels of brass in thy 
 || market. 
 
 14 They of the house of "Togarmah 
 traded in thy fairs with horses and horse- 
 men and mules. 
 
 15 The men of "Dedan were thy mer- 
 chants ; many isles were the merchandise 
 ,9 at thy hand : they brought thee for a pre- 
 sent, 20 horns of ivory and ebony. 
 
 16 Syria was thy merchant by reason of 
 the "abundance of tthe wares of thy mak- 
 ing : they 22 traded in thy fairs with eme- 
 ralds, purple, and embroidered work, and 
 fine linen, and 'red'-coral, and t 23 rubies. 
 
 17 Judah, and the land of Israel, they 
 were thy merchants : they traded, in thy 
 market, v wheat of 'Minnith and 24 sweet 
 cakes, and honey, and oil, and r ||balm. 
 
 18 Damascus was thy merchant in the 
 ^abundance of the wares of thy making, 
 for the multitude of all riches ; in the wine 
 of M Helbon, and white wool. 
 
 19 Dan also and "Greece |j with yarn, 
 traded in thy fairs : bright iron, cassia, and 
 ^sweet cane, were in thy market. 
 
 20 'Dedan was thy merchant in 29 carpets 
 for chariots. 
 
 21 Arabia, and all the princes of 'Kedar, 
 M traded with thee in lambs, and rams, and 
 goats : in these were they thy merchants. 
 
 22 The merchants of "Sneba and Raamah, 
 they were thy merchants : they 3I traded in 
 thy fairs with 32 the best of all spices, and 
 with all precious stones, and gold. 
 
 23 *Haran, and Canneh, and Eden, the 
 merchants of *Sheba, Asshur, and Chil-

 the midst of thee shall fall. 
 
 35 "All the inhabitants of the isles shall 
 be astonished at thee, and their kings shall

 countenance.

 CHAPTER XXVIII. 
 
 1 God's judgment on the prince of 'Tyre for his 
 sacrilegious pride. 1 1 A lamentation of his great 
 glory corrupted by sin. 20 The judgment of Zidon. 
 24 The restoration of Israel. 
 
 THE word of Jehovah came again to 
 me, saying, 
 
 2 Son of man, say to the prince of 2 Tyre, 
 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah; Because 
 thy heart is lifted up, and "thou hast said, 
 I am a god, I sit in the seat of God, 4 in the 
 tmidst of the seas; e yet thou art a man, 
 and not God, though thou set thy heart 
 3 like the heart of God : 
 
 3 Behold, d thou art wiser than Daniel ; 
 there is no secret which they can hide from 
 thee : 
 
 4 With thy wisdom and with thine un- 
 derstanding thou hast gotten thyself riches, 
 and hast gotten gold and silver into thy 
 treasures : 
 
 5 t'By thy great wisdom and by thy traf- 
 fick, hast thou increased thy riches, and 
 thy heart is lifted up because of thy riches : 
 
 6 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jeho- 
 
 567 
 
A lamentation over Tyre's glory. 
 
 vah ; Because thou hast set thy heart "like 
 the heart of God ; 
 
 7 Behold, therefore I will bring strangers 
 upon thee, -the 6 mighty of the nations 
 and they shall draw their swords against 
 the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall 
 defile thy brightness. 
 
 8 They shall bring thee down to the 6 pit, 
 and thou shalt die the deaths of those who 
 ure slain in the midst of the seas. 
 
 9 Wilt thou yet f say before him who 
 slayeth thee, I am God? but thou shalt 
 be a man, and no God, in the hand of him 
 who Hslayeth thee. 
 
 10 Thou shalt die the deaths of A the un- 
 circumcised by the hand of strangers : for 
 I have spoken it, saith the Lord Jehovah. 
 
 11 IT Moreover the word of Jehovah came 
 to me, saying, 
 
 12 Son of man, 'take up a lamentation 
 7 over the king of 8 Tyre, and say to him, 
 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah; "Thou 
 sealest up the 9 perfect form, full of wis- 
 dom, and perfect in beauty. 
 
 13 Thou hast been in 'Eden the garden 
 of God : every precious stone was thy co- 
 vering, the l0 ruby, topaz, and the diamond, 
 the || beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the 
 sapphire, the ||emerald, and the carbuncle, 
 and gold : the workmanship of "thy tablets 
 and of thy pipes, was prepared in thee in 
 the day "when thou wast created. 
 
 14 Thou art the anointed "cherub that 
 covereth; and I have set thee so: thou 
 wast on "the holy mountain of God ; thou 
 hast walked up and down in the midst of 
 the stones of fire. 
 
 15 Thou wast I2 upright in thy ways from 
 the day that thou wast created, till iniquity 
 was found in thee. 
 
 16 By the "abundance of thy merchan- 
 dise they have filled the midst of thee with 
 violence, and thou hast sinned : therefore 
 I will cast thee as profane "from the 
 mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, 
 p O covering cherub, from the midst of the 
 stones of fire. 
 
 17 «Thy heart was lifted up because of 
 thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wis- 
 dom by reason of thy ''splendour: I will 
 cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee 
 before kings, that they may behold thee. 
 
 18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by 
 the multitude of thine iniquities, by the 
 iniquity of thy trafhck ; therefore will I 
 bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, 
 it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee 
 to ashes on the earth in the sight of all 
 those who behold thee. 
 
 19 All those who know thee among the 
 people shall be astonished at thee: r thou 
 shalt be ta terror, and K shalt_ be no more 
 for ever. 
 
 20 If Again the word of Jehovah came to 
 me, saying, 
 
 21 Son of man, 'set thy face 'against Zi- 
 don, and prophesy against her, 
 
 22 And say, Thus saith the Lord Jeho- 
 vah; "Behold, I am against thee, Zidon; 
 and I will be glorified in the midst of thee : 
 and *they shall know that I am Jehovah, 
 when I shall have executed judgments in 
 her, and shall be y "reverenced on account 
 of her. 
 
 23 'For I will send into her pestilence, and 
 blood into her streets ; and the wounded

 CHAPTER XXIX. 
 
 1 The judgment of Pharaoh for his treachery to Is- 
 rael. 8 The desolation of Egypt. 13 The resto- 
 ration thereof after forty years. 17 Egypt the 
 reward of Nebuchadrezzar. 21 Israel shall be 
 restored. 
 
 IN the tenth year, in the tenth month, in 
 the twelfth day of the month, the word 
 of Jehovah came to me, saying, 
 
 2 Son of man, "set thy face against Pha- 
 raoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against 
 him, and 'against all Egypt : 
 
 3 Speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord 
 Jehovah; 'Behold, I am against thee, Pha- 
 raoh king of Egypt, the great ""crocodile 
 that lieth in the midst of his rivers, 'who 
 hath said, My river is mine own, and I 
 have made it for myself. 
 
 4 But 'I will put hooks in thy jaws, and 
 I will cause the fish of thy rivers to stick 
 to thy scales, and I will bring thee up 
 2 from the midst of thy rivers, and all the 
 fish of thy rivers shall stick to thy scales. 
 
 5 And I will leave thee 3 in the Mesert, 
 thee and all the fish of thy rivers : thou 
 shalt fall upon the topen fields; *thou 
 shalt not be brought together, nor gather- 
 ed: 'I have given thee for meat to the 
 beasts of the field and to the fowls of the 
 heaven. 
 
 6 And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall 
 know that I am Jehovah, because they 
 have been a 'staff of reed to the house of 
 Israel. 
 
 7 *When they took hold of thee by thy 
 hand, thou didst break, and rend all their 
 shoulder: and when they leaned upon 
 thee, thou Midst break, and 6 madest all 
 their loins to be at a stand. 
 
 8 If Therefore thus saith the Lord Jeho- 
 vah; Behold, I will bring '& sword upon 
 thee, and cut off man and beast out of thee. 
 
 9 And the land of Egypt shall be deso- 
 late and waste ; and they shall know that 
 I am Jehovah: because he hath said, The 
 river is mine, and I have made it. 
 
 10 Behold, therefore I am against thee, 
 and against thy rivers, m and I will make 
 the land of Egypt tutterly waste and de- 
 solate, "from 'Migdol to tSyene, even to 
 the border of Ethiopia. 
 
 11 "No foot of man shall pass through it, 
 nor foot of beast shall pass through it, nei- 
 ther shall it be inhabited forty years. 
 
The desolation of Egypt 
 
 12 'And I will make the land of Egypt 
 desolate in the midst of the countries which 
 are desolate, and her cities among the cities 
 which are laid waste shall be desolate forty 
 years : and I will scatter the Egyptians 
 among the nations, and will disperse them 
 through the countries. 
 
 13 f Yet thus saith the Lord Jehovah ; 
 At the 'end of forty years will I gather 
 the Egyptians from the people whither 
 they were scattered : 
 
 14 And I will bring again the 8 captives 
 of Egypt, and will cause them to return 
 into the land of Pathros, into the land of 
 their Hhabitation ; and they shall be there 
 a fbase kingdom. 
 
 15 It shall be the basest of the kingdoms; 
 neither shall it exalt itself any more above 
 the nations : for I will diminish them, 'so' 
 that they shall no more rule over the na- 
 tions. 
 
 16 And it shall be no more 'the confi- 
 dence of the house of Israel, which bring- 
 eth their iniquity to remembrance, when 
 they shall look after them : but they shall 
 know that I am the Lord Jehovah. 
 
 17 If And it came to pass in the seven 
 and twentieth year, in the first month, in 
 the first day of the month, the word of 
 Jehovah came to me, saying, 
 
 18 Son of man, 'Nebuchadrezzar king of 
 Babylon caused his army to serve a great 
 service against 9 Tyre: every head was 
 made bald, and every shoulder was ,0 made 
 smooth: yet had he no wages, nor his 
 army, for "Tyre, for the service which he 
 had served against it : 
 
 19 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jeho- 
 vah ; Behold, I will give the land of Egypt 
 to Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon ; and 
 he shall take her multitude, and ttake her 
 spoil, and take her l2 booty; and it shall be 
 the wages for his army. 
 
 20 I have given him the land of Egypt 
 ||/or his labour wherewith he "served 
 against it, because they wrought for me, 
 saith the Lord Jehovah. 
 
 21 ^f In that day x will I cause the horn 
 of the house of Israel to bud forth, and I 
 will give thee yl3 an opening of the mouth 
 in the midst of them; and they shall know 
 that I am Jehovah. 
 
 CHAPTER XXX. 
 
 1 The desolation of Egypt and her helpers. 20 The 
 arm of Babylon shall be strengthened to break the 
 arm of Egypt. 
 
 THE word of Jehovah came again to 
 me, saying, 
 
 2 Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus 
 saith the Lord Jehovah ; "Howl ye, 'Alas 
 for the day ! 
 
 3 For "the day is near, even the day of 
 Jehovah is near, a cloudy day ; it shall be 
 the time of the 2 nations. 
 
 4 And the sword shall come upon Egypt, 
 and 'terror shall be in Ethiopia, when the 
 slain shall fall in Egypt, and they 'shall 
 take away her multitude, and d her founda- 
 tions shall be broken down. 
 
 5 Ethiopia, and tLibya, and *Lud, and 
 •all the mingled people, and 6 Chub, and 
 the tmen of the land that is in league, shall 
 fall with them by the sword. 
 
 6 Thus saith Jehovah ; They also who 
 uphold Egypt shall fall ; and the pride of 
 her power shall come down : 'from 6 Mig-

 from me in ships to make the careless 
 Ethiopians afraid, and 8 terror shall come 
 upon them, as in the day of Egypt : for, lo, 
 it cometh. 
 
 10 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah; f I will 
 also make the multitude of Egypt to cease 
 by the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of 
 Babylon. 
 
 11 He and his people with him, *the 
 'mighty of the nations, shall be brought to 
 destroy the land : and they shall draw their 
 swords against Egypt, and fill the land 
 with the slain.

 "sell the land into the hand of the wicked : 
 and I will make the land waste, and tall 
 which is therein, by the hand of strangers : 
 I Jehovah have spoken it. 
 
 13 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah ; I will 
 also "destroy the idols, and I will cause 
 their images to cease 10 from Noph; "and 
 there shall be no more a prince of the land 
 of Egypt: 'and I will put a fear in the 
 land of Egypt. 
 
 14 And I will make 'Pathros desolate, 
 and will set fire in r ||Zoan, 'and will exe- 
 cute judgments in "No. 
 
 15 And I will pour my fury upon ||Sin, 
 the strength of Egypt ; and 'I will cut oft' 
 the multitude of No. 
 
 16 And I will "set fire in Egypt : Sin 
 shall have great pain, and No shall be rent 
 asunder, and Noph shall have distresses 
 daily. 
 
 17 The young men of ||Aven and of || 12 Pi- 
 beseth shall fall by the sword : and these 
 cities shallgo into captivity. 
 
 18 *At ls Tehaphnehes also the day shall 
 be ||darkened, when I shall break there 
 the u burden-staves of Egypt: and the 
 I5 pride of her strength shall cease in her s 
 as for her, a cloud shall cover her, and her 
 daughters shall go into captivity. 
 
 19 Thus will I execute judgments in 
 Egypt: and they shall know that I am Je- 
 hovah. 
 
 20 If And it came to pass in the eleventh 
 year, in the first month, in the seventh 
 day of the month, that the word of Jeho- 
 vah came to me, saying, 
 
 21 Son of man, I have "broken the arm 
 of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and lo, 2 it shall 
 not be bound up to be healed, to put a 
 l6 bandage to bind it, to make it strong to 
 hold the sword. 
 
 22 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jeho- 
 vah ; Behold, I am against Pharaoh king 
 of Egypt, and will "break his arms, the 
 strong', and that which was broken ; and I 
 will cause the sword to fall "from his hand. 
 
 23 6 And I will scatter the Egyptians 
 among the nations, and will disperse them 
 through the countries. 
 
 24 And I will strengthen the arms of the 
 king of Babylon, and put my sword in his

 hand : but I will break Pharaoh's arms, 
 and he shall groan before him with the 
 groanings of a deadly-wounded man. 
 
 25 But I will strengthen the arms of the 
 kin* of Babylon, and the arms of Pharaoh 
 shall fall down ; and 'they shall know that 
 I am Jehovah, when I shall.putmy sword 
 into the hand of the king of Babylon, and 
 he shall stretch it out upon the land of 
 Egypt. 
 
 26 ''And I will scatter the Egyptians

 among the countries; and they shall know 
 that I am Jehovah. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXI. 
 
 1 A relation to Pharaoh, 3 of the glory of Assyria, 
 10 and the fall thereof for pride. 18 The like de- 
 struction of Egypt. 
 
 AND it came to pass in the eleventh 
 year, in the third month, in the first 
 day of the month, that the word of Jeho- 
 vah came to me, saying, 
 
 2 Son of man, speak to Pharaoh king of 
 Egypt, and to his multitude ; "Whom art 
 thou like in thy greatness ? 
 
 3 If 'Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar 
 in Lebanon twith fair branches, and with 
 a shadowing shroud, and of a high stature ; 
 and his 'foliage was among the thick boughs. 
 
 4 'The waters ||made him great, the deep 
 ||set him up on high with her rivers run- 
 ning round about his plants, and sent out 
 her 2 streams to all the trees of the field. 
 
 5 Therefore, d his height was exalted above 
 all the trees of the field, and his boughs 
 were multiplied, and his branches became 
 long because of the 8 abundance of waters, 
 || when he shot forth. 
 
 6 All the 'fowls of heaven made their 
 nests in his boughs, and under his branches 
 did all the beasts of the field bring forth 
 their young, and under his shadow dwelt 
 all great nations. 
 
 7 Thus was he fair in his greatness, in 
 the length of his branches: for his root 
 was by great waters. 
 
 8 The cedars in the ^garden of God could 
 not hide him : the "cypress -trees were not 
 like his boughs, and the 5 plane-trees were 
 not like his branches ; 6 notree in the garden 
 of God was like to him in his beauty. 
 
 9 I have made him fair by the multitude 
 of his branches : so that all the trees of 
 Eden, which were in the garden of God, 
 envied him. 
 
 10 If Therefore thus saith the Lord Je- 
 hovah ; Because thou hast lifted up thy- 
 self in height, and he hath shot up his ''fo- 
 liage among the thick boughs, and g his heart 
 is lifted up 8 by his height; 
 
 11 I have therefore delivered him into 
 the hand of the 9 mighty one of the heathen ; 
 the shall surely deal with him : I have 
 driven him out for his wickedness. 
 
 12 And strangers, the '"strong nations, 
 have cut him off, and have left him : 'on 
 the mountains and in all the valleys his 
 branches are fallen, and his boughs are 
 broken by all the "streams of the land; 
 and all the people of the earth u have gone 
 down from his shadow, and have left him 
 
 13 *On his ruin shall all the fowls of the 
 heaven remain, and all the beasts of the 
 field shall be on his branches : 
 
 14 13 So that none of all the trees by the 
 waters, ' may' exalt themselves for their

 among the thick boughs, neither their trees 
 Ustand up in their height, all that drink 
 water: for 'they are all delivered to death, 
 m to the "lower parts of the earth, in the 
 midst of the children of men, with those 
 who go down to the 16 pit. 
 
 15 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah; In the 
 day when he went down to the "grave I 
 caused a mourning: I covered the deep 
 for him, and I restrained the "streams 
 thereof, and the great waters were stayed : 
 and I caused Lebanon tto mourn for him, 
 and all the trees of the field fainted for 
 him. 
 
 16 I made the nations to "shake at the 
 sound of his fall, when I "cast him down 
 to 19 hell with those who descend into the 
 pit : and p all the trees of Eden, the choice 
 and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, 
 'shall be comforted in the 20 lower parts of 
 the earth. 
 
 17 They also went down into 21 hell with 
 him, to those who ^are slain with the 
 sword ; and those that were his arm, who 
 r dwelt under his shadow in the midst of 
 the ^nations. 
 
 18 ^f 'To whom art thou thus like in glory 
 and in greatness among the trees of Eden? 
 yet shalt thou be brought down with the 
 trees of Eden to the '"lower parts of the 
 earth : 'thou shalt lie in the midst of the 
 uncircumcised with those who ^are slain 
 by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his 
 multitude, saith the Lord Jehovah. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXII. 
 
 1 A lamentation for the fearful fall of Egypt. 11 The 
 sword of Babylon shall destroy it. 17 It shall be 
 brought down to hell, among all the uncircumcised 
 nations. 
 
 AND it came to pass in the twelfth year, 
 in the twelfth month, in the first day 
 of the month, that the word of Jehovah 
 came to me, saying, 
 
 2 Son of man, "take up a lamentation for 
 Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say to him, 
 'Thou art like a young lion of the nations, 
 'and thou art 'like a 'crocodile in the seas: 
 and thou Midst burst forth with thy rivers, 
 and "disturb the waters with thy feet, and 
 d fouledst their rivers. 
 
 3 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah ; I will 
 therefore 'spread out my net over thee with 
 a company of many people ; and they shall 
 bring thee up in my net. 
 
 4 Then Avill I leave thee on the land, I 
 will cast thee forth on the open field, and 
 ^will cause all the fowls of the heaven to 
 remain on thee, and I will fill the beasts 
 of the whole earth with thee. 
 
 5 And I will lay thy flesh "on the moun- 
 tains, and fill the valleys with thy height. 
 
 6 I will also water with thy blood ||the 
 land wherein thou swimmest, even to the 
 mountains ; and the 'streams shall be full 
 of thee. 
 
 7 And when I shall "extinguish thee, <I 
 will cover the heaven, and make the stars 
 thereof dark ; I will cover the sun with a 
 cloud, and the moon shall not give her 
 light. 
 
 8 All the tbright lights of heaven will I 
 make tdark over thee, and set darkness on 
 thy land, saith the Lord Jehovah. 
 
 9 I will also 'trouble the hearts of many 
 people, when I shall bring thy destruction 
 
 
A lamentation for the 
 
 CHAPTER XXXIII. 
 
 among the nations, into the countries which 
 thou hast not known. 
 
 10 Yea, I will make many people 'amaz- 
 ed at thee, and their kings shall be horribly 
 afraid for thee, when I shall brandish my 
 sword before them ; and 'they shall trem- 
 ble 8 every moment, 9 each man for his own 
 life, in the day of thy fall. 
 
 11 ff m For thus saith the Lord Jehovah; 
 The sword of the king of Babylon shall 
 come upon thee. 
 
 12 By the swords of the mighty will I 
 cause thy multitude to fall, "the '"strong 
 nations, all of them : and "they shall spoil 
 the "pride of Egypt, and all the multitude 
 thereof shall be destroyed. 
 
 13 I will destroy also all the beasts there 
 of from beside the great waters; ^neither 
 shall the foot of man ^disturb them any 
 more, nor the hoofs of beasts 13 disturb 
 them. 
 
 14 Then will I make their waters "sub- 
 side, and cause their rivers to run like oil, 
 saith the Lord Jehovah. 
 
 15 When I shall make the land of 
 Egypt desolate, and the country shall 
 be tdestitute of that whereof it was full, 
 when I shall smite all those who dwell 
 therein, 'then shall they know that I am 
 Jehovah. 
 
 16 This is the 'lamentation wherewith 
 they shall lament her: the daughters of the 
 nations shall lament her: they shall lament 
 for her, even for Egypt, and for all her 
 multitude, saith the Lord Jehovah. 
 
 17 H It came to pass also in the twelfth 
 year, in the fifteenth day of the month, 
 that the word of Jehovah came to me, 
 saying, . 
 
 18 Son of man, wail for the multitude of 
 Egypt, and 'cast them down, even her, and 
 the daughters of the ^mighty nations, to 
 the 16 lower parts of the earth, with those 
 who go down into the pit. 
 
 19 'Whom dost thou pass in beauty ? "go 
 down, and be thou laid with the uncir- 
 cumcised. 
 
 20 They shall fall in the midst of those 
 who are slain by the sword : ||she is de- 
 livered to the sword : draw her ' away' 
 and all her multitudes. 
 
 21 *The strong among the mighty shall 
 speak to him out of the midst of 17 hell with 
 those who help him: they are »gone down, 
 they lie uncircumcised, slain by the sword. 
 
 22 zis Assyria is there and all her com- 
 pany : his graves are ^around him : all of 
 them slain, fallen by the sword : 
 
 23 "Whose graves are set in the sides of 
 the pit, and her company is ^around her 
 grave : all of them slain, fallen by the 
 sword, who 'caused ||terror in the land of 
 the living. 
 
 24 There is e2, Elam and all her multitude 
 ^around her grave, all of them slain, fallen 
 by the sword, who are ''gone down uncir- 
 cumcised into the M lower parts of the earth, 
 'who caused their terror in the land of the 
 living ; yet have they borne their shame 
 with those who go down to the pit. 
 
 25 They have set her a ^couch in the 
 midst of the slain with all her multitude : 
 her graves are 25 around him: all of them 
 uncircumcised, slain by the sword: though 
 their terror was caused in the land of the 
 living, yet have they borne their shame

 CHAPTER XXXIII. 
 
 1 According to the duty of a watchman, in warning 
 the people, 7 Ezekiel is admonished of his duty. 
 10 God sheweth the justice of his ways towards 
 the penitent, and towards revolters. 17 He main- 
 taineth his justice. 21 Upon the news of the tak- 
 ing of Jerusalem he prophesieth the desolation of 
 the land. 30 God's judgment upon the mockers of 
 the prophets. 
 
 AGAIN the word of Jehovah came to 
 me, saying, 
 
 2 Son of man, speak to "the children of 
 thy people, and say to them, 6 tWhen I 
 bring the sword upon a land, if the people 
 of the land take a man of their 'borders, 
 and set him for their 'watchman : 
 
 3 If when he seeth the sword come upon 
 the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn 
 the people ; 
 
 4 Then, twhoever heareth the sound of 
 the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if 
 the sword come and take him away, ''his 
 blood shall be on his own head. 
 
 5 He heard the sound of the trumpet, arid 
 took not warning; his blood shall be on 
 him. But he who taketh warning shall 
 deliver his 2 soul. 
 
 6 But if the watchman see the sword 
 come, and blow riot the trumpet, and the 
 people be not warned; if the sword come, 
 and take any person from among them, 
 'he is taken away in his iniquity ; but his 
 blood will I require at the watchman's 
 hand. 
 
 7 If 'So thou, son of man, I have set thee 
 a watchman to the house of Israel ; there- 
 fore thou shalt hear the word s from my 
 
 I mouth, and warn them from me. 
 
 571 
 
77«e equity of God's dealings. 
 
 8 When I say to the wicked, O wicked 
 ■man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not 
 speak to warn the wicked from his way, 
 that wicked man shall die in his iniquity ; 
 but his blood will I require at thy hand. 
 
 9 Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked 
 of his way to turn from it ; if he do not 
 turn from his way, he shall die in his ini- 
 quity ; but thou hast delivered thy soul. 
 
 10 Therefore, O thou son of man, speak 
 to the house of Israel; Thus ye speak, 
 saying, If our transgressions and our sins 
 be upon us, and we e pine away 4 for them, 
 *how 5 can we then live ? 
 
 11 Say to them, As I live, saith the Lord 
 Jehovah, 'I have no pleasure in the death 
 of the wicked ; but that the wicked turn 
 from his way and live : turn ye, turn ye 
 from your evil ways ; for 'why will ye die, 
 O house of Israel ? 
 
 12 Therefore, thou son of man, say to the 
 children of thy people, The 'righteousness 
 of the righteous shall not deliver him in 
 the day of his transgression : as for the 
 wickedness of the wicked, m he shall not 
 fall thereby in the day that he turneth 
 from his wickedness; neither shall the 
 righteous be able to live for his righteous- 
 ness in the clay that he sinneth. 
 
 13 "When I shall say to the righteous, 
 that he shall surely live; "if he trust to 
 his own righteousness, and commit iniqui- 
 ty, 6 none of his righteousnesses shall 7 be 
 remembered; but for his iniquity which 
 he hath committed, he shall die for it. 
 
 14 Again, "when I say to the wicked, 
 Thou shalt surely die; if he turn from his 
 sin, and do tthat which is lawful and right; 
 
 15 If the wicked 'restore the pledge, 'give 
 again that 'which' he had robbed, walk in 
 'the Ordinances of life, without commit- 
 ting iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall 
 not die. 
 
 16 "None of his sins which he hath com- 
 mitted shall be mentioned to him : he hath 
 done that which is lawful and right ; he 
 shall surely live. 
 
 17 f 'Yet the children of thy people say, 
 The way of the 9 Lord is not equal: but as 
 for them, their way is not equal. 
 
 18 "When the righteous turneth from his 
 righteousness, and committeth iniquity, he 
 shall even die thereby. 
 
 19 But if the wicked turn from his wick- 
 edness, and do that which is lawful and 
 right, he shall live thereby. 
 
 20 If Yet ye say, "The way of the I0 Lord 
 is not equal. O ye house of Israel, I will 
 judge you every one "according to his 
 ways. 
 
 21 1J And it came to pass in the twelfth 
 year *of our captivity, in the tenth month, 
 in the fifth day of the month, Hhat one who 
 had escaped 12 from Jerusalem came to me, 
 saying, "The city is smitten. 
 
 22 Now 'the hand of Jehovah "had been 
 on me in the evening, before he who ,4 had 
 escaped came; and had opened my mouth, 
 until he came to me in the morning ; 'and 
 my mouth was opened, and I was no more 
 dumb. 
 
 23 Then the word of Jehovah came to 
 me, saying, 
 
 24 Son of man, d those who inhabit those 
 •wastes of the land of Israel speak, saying, 
 'Abraham was one, and he inherited the

 28 'For I will lay the land tmost desolate, 
 and the r20 pride of her strength shall cease ; 
 and 'the mountains of Israel shall be de- 
 solate, ' so' that 21 no one shall pass through. 
 
 29 Then shall they know that I am Je- 
 hovah, when I ' shall' have laid the land 
 most desolate ^on account of all their abo- 
 minations which they have committed. 
 
 30 If Also, thou son of man, the children 
 of thy people still are talking U^concern- 
 ing thee by the walls and in the doors of 
 the houses, and 'speak one to another, 
 "each one to his brother, saying, Come, I 
 pray you, and hear what the word is which 
 cometh forth from Jehovah. 
 
 31 And "they come to thee tas the people 
 cometh, and ||they *sit before thee as my 
 people, and they hear thy words, but they 
 will not do them : *for with their moutn 
 tthey shew much love, but 'their heart go- 
 eth after their 25 unjust gain. 
 
 32 And lo, thou art to them ^like ta very 
 lovely song of one who hath a pleasant 
 voice, and can play well on an instrument: 
 for they hear thy words, but they do them 
 not. 
 
 33 "And when this cometh to pass, (lo, it 
 will come,) then 'shall they know that a 
 prophet hath been among them. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXIV. 
 
 1 A reproof of the shepherds. 7 God's judgment 
 against them. 11 His providence for his flock. 
 20 The kingdom of Christ. 
 
 AND the word of Jehovah came to me, 
 saying, 
 
 2 Son of man, prophesy against the "shep- 
 herds of Israel, prophesy, and say to them, 
 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah to the shep- 
 herds ; l Wo be to the shepherds of Israel 
 who ' feed themselves! should not the 
 shepherds feed the flocks ? 
 
 3 'Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with 
 the wool, d ye kill those that are fed : but 
 ye feed not the flock. 
 
 4 'The diseased have ye not strengthen- 
 ed, neither have ye healed that which was 
 2 weak, neither have ye bound up that which 
 was broken, neither have ye brought again 
 that which was driven away, neither have 
 ye 'sought that which was lost ; but with 
 sforce and with 'rigour have ye ruled them. 
 
 5 *And they were "scattered, ||because 
 there is no shepherd : 'and they became 
 4 food for all the beasts of the field, when 
 they were scattered. 
 
 6 My sheep wandered through all the 
 mountains, and on every high hill : 6 my 
 flock was scattered on all the face of the 
 
GocPs providence over his flock. 
 
 earth, and none did search or seek after 
 them. 
 
 7 If Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the 
 word of Jehovah ; 
 
 8^s I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, 
 surely because my flock became a prey, 
 and my flock 'became 6 food for every beast 
 of the field, because there was no shepherd, 
 neither did my shepherds search for my 
 flock, "but the shepherds fed themselves, 
 and fed not my flock ; 
 
 9 Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the 
 word of Jehovah; 
 
 10 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah; Be- 
 hold, I am against the shepherds; and n I 
 will require my flock at their hand, and 
 cause them to cease from feeding the flock ; 
 neither shall the shepherds "feed themselves 
 any more; for I will deliver my flock from 
 their mouth, that they may not be 7 food for 
 them. 
 
 11 IT For thus saith the Lord Jehovah; 
 Behold, I, even I, will both search my 
 sheep, and seek them out. 
 
 12 tAs a shepherd seeketh out his flock 
 in the day 8 when he is among his sheep 
 which are scattered ; so will I seek out 
 my sheep, and will deliver them out of all 
 places where they have been scattered in 
 p the cloudy and dark day. 
 
 13 And «I will bring them out from the 
 people, and gather them from the coun- 
 tries, and wdl bring them to their own 
 land, and feed them on the mountains of 
 Israel by the "streams, and in all the in- 
 habited places of the country. 
 
 14 7 I will feed them in a good pasture, 
 and on the high mountains of Israel shall 
 their fold be : 'there shall they lie in a good 
 fold, and in a '"fertile pasture shall they 
 feed on the mountains of Israel. 
 
 15 I will feed my flock, and I will cause 
 them to lie down, saith the Lord Jehovah. 
 
 16 'I will seek that which was lost, and 
 bring again that which was driven away, 
 and will bind up that which was broken, 
 and will strengthen that which was "weak : 
 but I will destroy "the fat and the strong ; 
 I will feed them "with "punishment. 
 
 17 And as for you, my flock, thus saith 
 the Lord Jehovah ; "Behold, I judge be- 
 tween tcattle and cattle, between the rams 
 and the the-goats. 
 
 18 Seemeth it a small thing to you to have 
 eaten up the good pasture, but ye must 
 tread down with your feet the residue of 
 your pastures ? and to have drunk of the 
 ,3 settled waters, but ye must foul the re- 
 sidue with your feet? 
 
 19 And as for my flock, they eat that 
 which ye have trodden with your feet ; and 
 they drink that which ye have fouled with 
 your feet. 
 
 20 If Therefore thus saith the Lord Je- 
 hovah to them ; 'Behold, I, even I, will 
 judge between the fat cattle and between 
 the lean cattle. 
 
 21 Because ye have thrust with side and 
 with shoulder, and pushed all the "weak 
 with your horns, till ye have scattered 
 them abroad ; 
 
 22 Therefore will I save my flock, and 
 they shall no more be a prey ; and "I will 
 judge between cattle and cattle. 
 
 23 And I will set up one ^Shepherd over 
 them, and he shall feed them, 'even my

 ther bear the shame of the heathen any 
 more. 
 
 30 Thus shall they know that "I Jehovah

 even the house of Israel, are my people,

 pasture, are men, and I am your God, 
 saith the Lord Jehovah. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXV. 
 
 The judgment of mount Seir for their hatred of 
 Israel. 
 
 MOREOVER the word of Jehovah 
 came to me, saying, 
 
 2 Son of man, "set thy face against 'mount 
 Seir, and "prophesy against it, 
 
 3 And say to it, Thus saith the Lord Je- 
 hovah ; Behold, mount Seir, I am against 
 thee, and d I will stretch out my hand against 
 thee, and I will make thee tmost desolate. 
 
 4 'I will lay thy cities waste, and thou 
 shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that 
 ~ am Jehovah. 
 
 5 '"Because thou hast had 'an Hold hatred, 
 and hast t 2 delivered up the children of 
 Israel 3 to the tforce of the sword in the 
 time of their calamity, ? in the time *when 
 their iniquity had an end : 
 
 6 Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord 
 Jehovah, I will prepare thee 5 for blood, 
 and blood shall pursue thee : *since thou 
 hast not hated blood, even blood shall 
 pursue thee. 
 
 7 Thus will I make mount Seir tmost 
 desolate, and cut off" from it 'him who pass- 
 eth 6 throu^h and him who returneth. 
 
 8 *And I will fill his mountains with his 
 slain men: on thy hills, and in thy valleys, 
 and in all thy 'streams, shall they fall that 
 are slain with the sword. 
 
 9 'I will make thee perpetual desolations, 
 and thy cities shall not return : "and ye 
 shall know that I am Jehovah. 
 
 10 Because thou hast said, These two 
 nations and these two countries shall be 
 mine, and we will "possess it; |] 8 though 
 "Jehovah was there : 
 
 11 Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord 
 
 573 
 
The land of Israel comforted. 
 
 Jehovah, I will even do ^according to 
 thine anger, and according to thine envy 
 which thou hast used 9 from thy hatred 
 against them ; and I will make myself 
 known among them, when I ' shall' have 
 judged thee. 
 
 12 'And thou shalt know that I am Je 
 hovah, and that I have heard all thy ,0 re 
 vilings which thou hast spoken against the 
 mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid 
 desolate, they are given 'to' us tto consume. 
 
 13 Thus 'with your mouth ye have tboast- 
 ed against me, and have multiplied your 
 words against me : I have heard them. 
 
 14 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah; 'When 
 the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee 
 desolate. 
 
 15 'As thou didst rejoice at the inherit- 
 ance of the house of Israel, because it was 
 desolate, so will I do to thee : "thou shalt 
 be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Idumea, 
 even all of it : and they shall know that I 
 am Jehovah. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXVI. 
 
 1 The land of Israel is comforted,both by destruction 
 of the heathen, who spitefully used it, 8 and by the 
 blessings of God promised to it. 1 6 Israel was re- 
 jected for their sin, 21 and shall be restored with- 
 out their desert. 25 The blessings of Christ's 
 kingdom. 
 
 ALSO, thou son of man, prophesy to the 
 "mountains of Israel, and say, Ye 
 mountains of Israel, hear the word of Je- 
 hovah : 
 
 2 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah ; Because 
 *the enemy hath said against you, Aha, 
 'even the ancient high places d are ours in 
 possession : 
 
 3 Therefore, prophesy and say, Thus 
 saith the Lord Jehovah; tBecause they 
 have made you desolate, and 'panted for 
 you on every side, that ye might be a pos- 
 session to the residue of the heathen, 'and 
 ||ye are taken up in the lips of talkers, and 
 are an infamy of the people: 
 
 4 Therefore, ye mountains of Israel, hear 
 the word of the Lord Jehovah ; Thus saith 
 the Lord Jehovah to the mountains, and 
 to the hills, to the || Streams, and to the 
 valleys, to the desolate wastes, and to the 
 cities which are forsaken, which ^became 
 a prey and ^derision to the residue of the 
 heathen that are 3 around ; 
 
 5 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah ; 
 "Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I 
 spoken against the residue of the heathen, 
 and against all "Edcin, 'which have ap- 
 pointed my land 5 for their possession with 
 the joy of all their heart, with 6 arrogant 
 minds, to cast it out for a 'booty. 
 
 6 Prophesy therefore concerning the land 
 of Israel, and say to the mountains, and 
 to the hills, to the 'streams, and to the val- 
 leys, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah; Be- 
 hold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in 
 my fury, because ye have *borne the shame 
 of the heathen : 
 
 7 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jeho- 
 vah ; I have 'lifted up my hand : Surely 
 the heathen who are 9 around you, they 
 shall bear their shame. 
 
 8 U But ye, O mountains of Israel, ye 
 shall shoot forth your branches, and yield 
 your fruit to my people of Israel; for they 
 are I0 near to come. 
 
 9 For behold. I am for you, and I will

 Israel was rejected for their sin. 
 
 turn to you, and ye shall be tilled and 
 sown : 
 
 10 And I will multiply men on you, all 
 the house of Israel, even all of it : and the 
 cities shall be inhabited, and m the wastes 
 shall be builded : 
 
 11 And "1 will multiply on you man and 
 beast; and they shall increase and bring 
 fruit: and I will settle you "according to 
 your old ''conditions, and will do better 
 i3 for you than at your beginnings: "and ye 
 shall know that I am Jehovah. 
 
 12 Yea, I will cause men to walk on you, 
 even my people Israel; 'and they shall 
 
 Eossess thee, and thou shalt be their in- 
 eritance, and thou shalt no more hence- 
 forth 'bereave them of men. 
 
 13 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah; Be- 
 cause they say to you, "Thou land devour- 
 est M men, and hast bereaved thy nations; 
 
 14 Therefore, thou shalt devour men no 
 more, neither ||bereave thy nations any 
 more, saith the Lord Jehovah. 
 
 15 'Neither will I cause men to hear in 
 thee the shame of the heathen any more, 
 neither shalt thou bear the reproach of the 
 people any more, neither shalt thou cause 
 thy nations to fall any more, saith the Lord 
 Jehovah. 
 
 16 ^ Moreover the word of Jehovah 
 came to me, saying, 
 
 17 Son of man, when the house of Israel 
 dwelt in their own land, 'they defiled it by 
 their own way and by their doings : their 
 way was before me I5 like "the uncleanness 
 of a removed woman. 
 
 18 Wherefore, I poured my fury upon 
 them *for the blood which they had shed 
 on the land, and for their idols 16 with which 
 they had polluted it: 
 
 19 And I ^scattered them among the 
 heathen, and they were dispersed through 
 the countries: ^according to their way and 
 according to their doings I judged them. 
 
 20 And when they entered "among the 
 heathen, whither they went, they "profan- 
 ed my holy name, when they said to them, 
 These are the people of Jehovah, and 
 ,8 have gone forth out of his land. 
 
 21 If But, I had pity 'for my holy name, 
 which the house of Israel had profaned 
 among the heathen, whither they went. 
 
 22 Therefore, say to the house of Israel, 
 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah; I do not 
 this for your sakes, O house of Israel, 
 c but for my holy name's sake, which ye 
 have profaned among the heathen, whither 
 ye went. 
 
 23 And I will sanctify my great name, 
 which was profaned among the heathen, 
 which ye have profaned in the midst of 
 them ; and the heathen shall know that I 
 am Jehovah, saith the Lord Jehovah, 
 when I shall be ■"'reverenced among you 
 in their sight. 
 
 24 For 'I will take you from among the 
 heathen, and gather you "from all countries, 
 and will bring you into your own land. 
 
 25 U •'"Then will I sprinkle clean water ' 
 on you, and ye shall be clean: «from all 
 your '"uncleanness, and from all your 
 idols, will I cleanse you. 
 
 26 A *new heart also will I give you, and 
 a new spirit will I put within you : and I 
 will take away the stony heart out of your 
 flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh. 
 
Israel shall be restored. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXVII. 
 
 The union of Israel and Judah. 
 
 27 And I will put my 'Spirit within you, 
 and cause you to walk in 31 mine ordinances, 
 and ye shall keep my judgments, and do 
 them. 
 
 28 *And ye shall dwell in the land which 
 I gave to your fathers; 'and ye shall be 
 my people, and I will be your God. 
 
 29 I will also ro save you from all your 
 uncleannesses : and "I will call for the 
 corn, and will increase it, and "lay no 
 famine on you. 
 
 30 p And I will multiply the fruit of the 
 tree, and the increase of the field, that ye 
 shall receive no more reproach of famine 
 among the heathen. 
 
 31 Then 'shall ye remember your own 
 evil ways, and your doings which were not 
 good, and 'shall loathe yourselves in your 
 own sight for your iniquities, and for your 
 abominations. 
 
 32 'Not for your sakes do I this, saith 
 the Lord Jehovah, be it known to you: 
 be ashamed and confounded for your own 
 ways, O house of Israel. 
 
 35 Thus saith the Lord Jkhovah ; In the 
 day ^when I shall have cleansed you from 
 all your iniquities I will also cause you to 
 dwell in the cities, 'and the wastes shall 
 be builded. 
 
 34 And the desolate land shall be tilled, 
 whereas it lay desolate in the sight of all 
 that passed by. 
 
 35 And they shall say, This land which 
 was desolate ^has become like the garden 
 of "Eden ; and the waste and desolate and 
 ruined cities u have been fortified, and are 
 inhabited. 
 
 36 Then the heathen who are left ^around 
 you shall know that I Jehovah build the 
 ruined places, and plant that which was 
 desolate : *I Jehovah have spoken it, and 
 I will do it. 
 
 37 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah ; »I will 
 yet for this be inquired of by the house of 
 Israel, to do it for them; I will * increase 
 them with men like a flock. 
 
 38 As the tholy flock, as the flock of Je- 
 rusalem in her solemn feasts ; so shall the 
 waste cities be filled with flocks of men : 
 and they shall know that I am Jehovah. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXVII. 
 
 1 By the resurrection of dry bones, 1 1 the dead hope 
 of Israel is revived. 15 By the uniting of two 
 sticks, 18 is shewed the incorporation of Israel into 
 Judah. 20 The promises of Christ's kingdom. 
 
 THE "hand of Jehovah was on me, and 
 carried me out 'in the Spirit of Jeho- 
 vah, and set me down in the midst of the 
 valley, 'and it was full of bones. 
 
 2 And 'he' caused me to pass by them 
 B around : and behold, there were very many 
 in the open || valley; and lo, theyivere\evy 
 dry. 
 
 3 And he said to me, Son of man, can 
 these bones live ? and I answered, O Lord 
 Jehovah, c thou knowest. 
 
 4 Again he said to me, Prophesy 'over 
 these bones, and say to them, ye dry 
 bones, hear the word of Jehovah. 
 
 5 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah to these 
 bones; Behold, I will d cause breath to 
 enter into you, and ye shall live: 
 
 6 And I will lay sinews upon you, and 
 will bring up flesh upon you, and cover 
 you with skin, and put 4 breath in you, and

 7 So I prophesied as I was commanded : 
 and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and 
 behold a shaking, and the bones came to- 
 gether, bone to its bone. 
 
 8 And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and 
 the flesh came up upon them, and the skin > 
 covered them above: but there ivas no 
 breath in them. 
 
 9 Then said he to me, Prophesy to the 
 „ 5 wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to 
 the wind, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah ; 
 'Come from the four 6 winds, O breath, and 
 7 blow on these slain, that they may live. 
 
 10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, 
 ff and the breath came into them, and they 
 lived, and stood up on their feet, an ex- 
 ceeding great army. 
 
 11 *[f Then he said to me, Son of man, 
 these bones are the whole house of Israel : 
 behold, they say, *Our bones are dried, and 
 our hope is lost: we are cut off" for our 
 part. 
 
 12 Therefore prophesy and say to them, 
 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah ; Behold, *0 
 my people, I will open your graves, and 
 cause you to come up 8 from your graves, 
 and 'bring you into the land of Israel. 
 
 13 And ye shall know that I am Jehovah, 
 when I 'shall' have opened your graves, O 
 my people, and brougnt you up 9 from your 
 graves, 
 
 14 And 'shall 'have' put my Spirit in you, 
 and ye shall live, and I shall '"have placed 
 you m your own land: then shall ye know 
 that I Jehovah have spoken it, and per- 
 formed it, saith Jehovah. 
 
 15 If The word of Jehovah came again to 
 me, saying, 
 
 16 Moreover, thou son of man, "take thy- 
 self one stick, and write on it, For Judah, 
 and for "the children of Israel his com- 
 panions : then take another stick, and 
 write on it, For Joseph, the stick of 
 Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel 
 his companions : 
 
 17 And "join them one to another into 
 one stick ; and they shall become one in 
 thy hand. 
 
 18 ^f And when the children of thy people 
 shall speak to thee, saying, ^Wilt thou not 
 shew us what thou meanest by these ? 
 
 19 ? Say to them, Thus saith the Lord Je- 
 hovah; Behold, I will take 'the stick of 
 Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, 
 and the tribes of Israel his "companions, 
 and will put them with him, even with the 
 stick of Judah, and make them one stick, 
 and they shall be one in my hand. 
 
 20 If And the sticks whereon thou writest 
 shall be in thy hand 'before their eyes. 
 
 21 And say to them, Thus saith the Lord 
 Jehovah; Behold, 'I will take the child- 
 ren of Israel from among the heathen, whi- 
 ther they 12 have gone, and will gather them 
 on every side, and bring them into their 
 own land : 
 
 22 And "I will make them one nation 
 in the land on the mountains of Israel ; 
 and *one king shall be king to them all : 
 and they shall be no more two nations, 
 neither shall they be divided into two 
 kingdoms any more at all : 
 
 23 ^Neither shall they defile themselves 
 any more with their idols, nor with their

 detestable things, nor with any of their 
 transgressions: but *I will save them 
 13 from all their dwelling-places, wherein 
 they have sinned, and will cleanse them : 
 so shall they be my people, and I will be 
 their God. 
 
 24 And "David my servant shall be king 
 over them; and 'they all shall have one 
 shepherd: e they shall also walk in my 
 judgments, and observe w mine ordinances, 
 and do them. 
 
 25 d And they shall dwell in the land 
 which I have given to Jacob my servant, 
 wherein your fathers have dwelt, and they 
 shall dwell therein, even they, and their 
 children, and their children's children 
 "for ever : and ^my servant David shall be 
 their prince for ever. 
 
 26 Moreover I will make a ^covenant of 
 peace with them ; it shall be an everlast- 
 ing covenant with them : and I will place 
 them, and 'multiply them, and will set my 
 'sanctuary in the midst of them for ever- 
 more. 
 
 27 *My tabernacle also shall be with 
 them : yea, I will be 'their God, and they 
 shall be my people. 
 
 28 m And the heathen shall know that I 
 Jehovah do "sanctify Israel, when my 
 sanctuary shall be in the midst of them 
 for evermore. 
 
 CHAPTER XXXVIII. 
 
 1 The army, 8 and malice of Gog. 14 God's judg- 
 ment against him. 
 
 AND the word of Jehovah came to me, 
 saying, 
 
 2 "Son of man, *set thy face against c Gog, 
 the land of Magog, ||the chief prince of 
 ''Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against 
 him, 
 
 3 And say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah; 
 Behold, I am against thee, Gog, the 
 chief prince of Meshech and Tubal : 
 
 4 And 'I will turn thee back, and put 
 hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee 
 forth, and all thine army, horses and 
 horsemen, 'all of them clothed "perfectly, 
 even a great company with 'shields and 
 3 bucklers, all of them handling swords : 
 
 5 Persia, Ethiopia, and || Libya with them ; 
 all of them with 4 buckler and helmet : 
 
 6 *Gomer, and all his bands ; the house 
 of *Togarmah of the 5 northern regions, and 
 all his bands : and many people with thee. 
 
 7 'Be thou prepared, and prepare for thy- 
 self, thou, and all thy company that are 
 assembled to thee, and be thou a guard 6 for 
 them. 
 
 8 If 'After many days 'thou shalt be vi- 
 sited : in the latter years thou shalt come 
 into the land that is brought back from the 
 sword, m and is gathered out of many peo- 
 
 Ele, 7 on "the mountains of Israel, which 
 ave been always waste: but it 8 hath been 
 brought forth out of the nations, and they 
 shall "dwell safely all of them. 
 
 9 Thou shalt 9 arise 'like a storm, thou 
 shalt come 'like a cloud to cover the land, 
 thou, and all thy bands, and many people 
 with thee. 
 
 10 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah; It shall 
 also come to pass, that at the same time 
 shall things come into thy mind, and thou 
 shalt || '"devise an evil "device : 
 
 11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the 
 land of unwalled villages ; I will r go to

 14 "ft Therefore, son of man, prophesy

 Israel "dwelleth safely, shalt thou not 
 know it ? 
 
 15 d And thou shalt come from thy place

 16 'And thou shalt come up against my

 and ; *it shall be in the latter days, and I 
 will bring thee against my land, 'that the 
 heathen may know me, when I shall be 
 18 reverenced through thee, O Gog, before 
 their eyes. . 
 
 17 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah; Art 
 thou he of whom I have spoken in old time 
 tby my servants the prophets of Israel, 
 who prophesied in those days many years, 
 that I would bring thee against them ? 
 
 18 And it shall come to pass at the same 
 time when Gog shall come against the 
 land of Israel, saith the Lord Jehovah, 
 that my fury shall come up in my face. 
 
 19 For 'in my jealousy *and in the fire of 
 my wrath have I spoken, 'Surely in that 
 day there shall be a great shaking in the 
 land of Israel ; 
 
 20 So that ™the fishes of the sea, and the 
 fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the 
 field, and all creeping things that creep 
 upon the earth, and all the men who are 
 on the face of the earth, shall shake at my 
 presence, "and the mountains shall be 
 thrown down, and the || "craggy places 
 shall fall, and every wall shall Tall to the 
 ground. 
 
 21 And I will "call for p a sword against 
 him through all my mountains, saith the 
 Lord Jehovah : «every man's sword shall 
 be against his brother. 
 
 22 And I will r20 contend against him with 
 'pestilence and with blood ; and 'I will 
 rain on him, and on his bands, and on the 
 many people who are with him, an over- 
 flowing 21 shower, and "great hailstones, 
 fire, and brimstone. 
 
 23 Thus will I magnify myself, and 
 "^show myself to be holy; "and I will be 
 known in the ^sight of many nations, and

 CHAPTER XXXIX. 
 
 1 God's judgment upon Gog. 8 Israel's victory. 
 11 Gog's burial in Hamon-gog. 17 The feast of 
 the fowls. 23 Israel having been plagued for 
 their sins, shall be gathered again with eternal 
 favour. 
 
God's judgment upon Gog. 
 
 THEREFORE, •thou son of man.pro- 
 phesy against Gog, and say, Thus 
 saith the Lord Jehovah; Behold, I am 
 against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of 
 Meshech and Tubal: 
 
 2 And I will turn thee back, and || 'lead 
 thee, "and will cause thee to come up from 
 tthe "northern regions, and will bring thee 
 upon the mountains of Israel : 
 
 3 And I will smite thy bow out of thy 
 left hand, and will cause thine arrows to 
 fall out of thy right hand. 
 
 4 "Thou shalt fall on the mountains of 
 Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the 
 people who 3 are with thee : d I will give thee 
 to the ravenous birds of every tsort, and 
 to the beasts of the field, tto be devoured. 
 
 5 Thou shalt fall on tthe open field : for 
 I have spoken it, saith the Lord Jehovah. 
 
 6 "And I will send a fire on Magog, and 
 among those Who dwell ||carelessly in / the 
 4 distant regions : and they shall know that 
 I am Jehovah. 
 
 7 *So will I make my holy name known 
 in the midst of my people Israel ; and I 
 will not let them "pollute my holy name 
 any more : 'and the heathen shall know 
 that I am Jehovah, the Holy One in Is- 
 rael. 
 
 8 *fj "Behold, it is come, and it is done, 
 saith the Lord Jehovah; this is the day 
 'of which I have spoken. 
 
 9 And those who dwell in the cities of 
 Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire 
 and burn the weapons, both the 'bucklers, 
 and the 6 shields, the bows and the arrows, 
 and the llhandstaves, and the 'lances, and 
 they shall ||burn them with fire seven 
 years : 
 
 10 So that they shall take no wood from 
 the field, neither cut down any 9 from the 
 forests; for they shall burn the weapons 
 with fire : m and they shall spoil those who 
 spoiled them, and rob those who robbed 
 them, saith the Lord Jehovah. 
 
 11 *fl And it shall come to pass in that 
 day, that I will give to Gog a place there 
 of graves in Israel, the valley of the pas- 
 sengers on the east of the sea: and it shall 
 stop the \\noses of the passengers : and 
 there shall they bury Gog and alt his mul- 
 titude : and they shall call it The valley 
 of 10 The-Multitude-of-Gog. 
 
 12 And seven months shall the house of 
 Israel be burying " them, "that they may 
 cleanse the land. 
 
 13 Yea, all the people of the land shall 
 bury them: and it shall be to them a re- 
 nown 'in' the day 12 when °I shall be glori- 
 fied, saith the Lord Jehovah. 
 
 14 And they shall "separate tmen of con- 
 tinual employment, passing through the 
 land to bury with the passengers those 
 who remain on the face of the earth, to 
 cleanse it: after the end of seven months 
 shall they search. 
 
 15 And the passengers who pass through 
 the land, when any 'one' seeth a man's 
 bone, then shall he tset up a 14 pillar by it, 
 till the buriers have buried it in the valley 
 of 16 The-Multitude-of-Gog. 
 
 16 And also the name of the city shall be

 Jehovah. 
 
 CHAPTER XL. 
 
 1 The time, manner, and end of the vision. 6 The 
 description of the east gate, 20 of the north gate, 
 24 of the south gate, 32 of the east gate, 35 and of 
 the north gate. 39 Eight tables. 44 The chambers. 
 48 The porch of the house. 
 
 IN the five and twentieth year of our 
 captivity, in the beginning of the year, 
 on the tenth day of the month, in the four- 
 teenth year after that "the city was smit- 
 ten, on the self-same day "the hand of Je- 
 hovah was on me, and brought me thither. 
 2 c In the visions of God brought he me 
 into the land of Israel, d and set me upon 
 a very high mountain, 'on which ivas as 
 the 2 frame of a city on the south. 
 
EzekiePs vision of the model of a city. 
 
 3 And he brought me thither, and be- 
 hold, there was a man, whose appearance 
 ivas 'like the appearance of brass, Avith a 
 line of flax in his hand, e and a measuring 
 reed ; and he stood in the gate. 
 
 4 And the man said to me, ft Son of man, 
 behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine 
 ears, and set thy heart on all that I shall 
 shew thee ; for to the intent that I might 
 shew them to thee art thou brought hither : 
 'declare all which thou seest to the house 
 of Israel. 
 
 5 And behold *a wall on the outside of 
 the house round about, and in the man's 
 hand a measuring reed of six cubits long 
 by the cubit and a hand-breadth : 3 and he 
 measured the breadth of the building, one 
 reed : and the height, one reed. 
 
 6 If Then came he to the gate twhich 
 looketh towards the east, and went up the 
 stairs thereof, and measured the threshold 
 of the gate, which was one reed broad; 
 and the other threshold of the gate, which 
 teas one reed broad. 
 
 7 And every 4 chamber was one reed 
 long, and one reed broad ; and between 
 the 5 chambers were five cubits : and the 
 threshold of the gate by the porch of the 
 gate within was one reed. 
 
 8 He measured also the porch of the gate 
 within, one reed. 
 
 9 Then measured he the porch of the 
 gate, eight cubits ; and the posts thereof, 
 two cubits ; and the porch of the gate was 
 inward. 
 
 10 And the 6 chambers of the gate east- 
 ward were three on this side, and three on 
 that side; they three ivere of one measure: 
 and the posts_had one measure on this side 
 and on that side. 
 
 11 And he measured the breadth of the 
 "entrance of the gate, ten cubits ; and the 
 length of the gate, thirteen cubits. 
 
 12 The 8 border also before the 9 chambers 
 was one cubit on this side, and the 10 bor- 
 der was one cubit on that side : and the u 
 chambers were six cubits on this side, and 
 six cubits on that side. 
 
 13 He measured then the gate from the 
 roof of one n chamber to the roof of an- 
 other; the breadth was five and twenty 
 cubits, door against door. 
 
 14 He made also posts of threescore 
 cubits, even to the post of the court round 
 about the gate. 
 
 15 And from the face of the gate of the 
 entrance to the face of the porch of the 
 inner gate were fifty cubits. 
 
 16 And there were ! t 13 latticed windows 
 to the u chambers, and to their posts with- 
 in the gate 15 around, and likewise to the 
 l8 cornices: and windows were "around ||in- 
 ward: and on each post were palm-trees. 
 
 17 Then brought he me into m the outward 
 court, and lo, there were "chambers, and a 
 pavement made for the court round about: 
 "thirty chambers were upon the pavement. 
 
 18 And the pavement by the side of the 
 gates over against the length of the gates 
 was the lower pavement. 
 
 19 Then he measured the breadth from 
 the Is front of the lower gate to the 19 front 
 of the inner court ||without, a hundred 
 cubits eastward and northward. 
 
 20 If And the gate of the outward court 
 fthat looked towards the north, he mea-

 21 And the M chambers thereof were three 
 on this side and three on that side; and 
 the posts thereof and the "cornices there- 
 of were "according to the measure of the 
 first gate: the length thereof was fifty 
 cubits, and the breadth five and twenty 
 cubits. 
 
 22 And their windows, and their M cor- 
 nices, and their palm-trees, were 24 accord- 
 ing to the measure of the gate that looketh 
 towards the east: and they went up to it 
 by seven steps ; and the ^cornices thereof 
 were before them. 
 
 23 And the gate of the inner court was 
 over against the gate towards the north, 
 and towards the east: and he measured 
 from gate to gate a hundred cubits. 
 
 24 If After that he brought me towards 
 the south, and behold a gate towards the 
 south : and he measured the posts thereof 
 and the 26 cornices thereof according to 
 these measures. 
 
 25 And there were windows in it and in 
 the ^cornices thereof 28 around, like those 
 windows : the length was fifty cubits, and 
 the breadth five and twenty cubits. 
 
 26 And there were seven steps to go up to 
 it, and the 29 cornices thereof were before 
 them : and it had palm-trees, one on this 
 side, and another on that side, on the posts 
 thereof. 
 
 27 And there was a gate in the inner 
 court towards the south: and he measured 
 from gate to gate towards the south a hun- 
 dred cubits. 
 
 28 And he brought me to the inner court 
 by the south gate: and he measured the 
 south gate according to these measures ; 
 
 29 And the 30 chambers thereof, and the 
 posts thereof, and the 31 cornices thereof, 
 according to these measures: and there 
 were windows in it and in the 32 cornices 
 thereof ^around : it was fifty cubits long, 
 and five and twenty cubits broad. 
 
 30 And the arches round about were ''five 
 and twenty cubits long, and five cubits 
 tbroad. 
 
 31 And the ^cornices thereof were towards 
 the outer court; and palm-trees were upon 
 the posts thereof: and the 35 ascent to it 
 had eight steps. 
 
 32 If And he brought me into the inner 
 court towards the east : and he measured 
 the gate according to these measures. 
 
 33 And the 36 chambers thereof, and the 
 posts thereof, and the 37 cornices thereof, 
 were according to these measures: and 
 there were windows therein and in the 
 38 cornices thereof 39 around: it was fifty 
 cubits long, and five and twenty cubits 
 broad. 
 
 34 And the 40 cornices thereof were to- 
 wards the outward court; and palm-trees 
 were on the posts thereof, on this side, and 
 on that side: and the 4, ascent to it had 
 eight steps. 
 
 35 If And he brought me to the north 
 gate, and measured it according to these 
 measures ; 
 
 36 The 42 chambers thereof, the posts 
 thereof, and the 43 cornices thereof, and the 
 windows to it 44 around : the length was 
 fifty cubits, and the breadth five and 
 twenty cubits. 
 
The chambers, ornaments, 
 
 37 And the posts thereof were towards 
 the outer court; and palm-trees were on 
 the posts thereof, on this side, and on that 
 side : and the 43 ascent to it had eight steps. 
 
 38 And the chambers, and the ^entrances 
 thereof were by the posts of the gates, where 
 they "cleansed the burnt-offering. 
 
 39 If And in the porch of the gate were two 
 tables on this side, and two tables on that 
 side, to slay thereon the burnt-offering, and 
 'the sin-offering, and the trespass -offering, 
 
 40 And at the side without, ||as one goeth 
 up to the 48 en trance of the north gate, were 
 two tables ; and on the other side, which 
 was at the porch of the gate, were two 
 tables. 
 
 41 Four tables were on this side, and four 
 tables on that side, by the side of the gate; 
 eight tables, whereon they slew their sacri- 
 fices. 
 
 42 And the four tables were of hewn 
 stone for the burnt-offering, of a cubit and 
 a half long, and a cubit and a half broad, 
 and one cubit high: whereon also they 
 laid the instruments wherewith they slew 
 the burnt-offering and the sacrifice. 
 
 43 And within were ||hooks, a hand broad, 
 fastened 49 around : and upon the tables 
 was the flesh of the offering. 
 
 44 Tf And without the inner gate were the 
 chambers of 'the singers in the inner court, 
 which was at the side of the north gate ; 
 and their prospect was towards the sou th : 
 one at the side of the east gate having the 
 prospect towards the north. 
 
 45 And he said to me, This chamber, 
 whose prospect is towards the south, is 
 for the priests, 'the keepers of the [| charge 
 of the house. 
 
 46 And the chamber whose prospect is 
 towards the north, is for the priests, "the 
 keepers of the charge of the altar: these 
 are the sons of *Zadok among the sons of 
 Levi, who come near to Jehovah to mi- 
 nister to him. 
 
 47 So he measured the court, a hundred 
 cubits long, and a hundred cubits broad, 
 ^square ; and the altar which was before 
 the house. 
 
 48 If And he brought me to the porch of 
 the house, and measured each post of the 
 porch, five cubits on this side, and five 
 cubits on that side : and the breadth of 
 the gate was three cubits on this side, and 
 three cubits on that side. 
 
 49 y The length of the porch was twenty 
 cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits; and 
 he brought me by the steps whereby they 
 went up to it : and there were 2 pillars by 
 the posts, one on this side, and another on 
 that side.

 2 And the breadth of the ||door was ten

 the post of the door, two cubits ; and the 
 door, six cubits ; and the breadth of the 
 door, seven cubits. 
 
 4 So a he measured the length thereof, 
 twenty cubits; and the breadth, twenty 
 cubits, before the temple : and he said to 
 me, This is the most holy place. 
 
 5 4 And he measured the wall of the house, 
 six cubits ; and the breadth of 5 each side- 
 chamber, four cubits, 6 around the house on 
 every side. 
 
 6 4 And the side-chambers were three, 
 tone 'against another, and ||thirty in order; 
 and they entered into the wall which was 
 of the house for the side -chambers round 
 about, that they might thave hold, but they 
 had not hold in the wall of the house. 
 
 7 And ] c there ivas an enlarging, and a 
 winding about still upwards to the side- 
 chambers: for the winding about of the 
 house went still upwards "around the 
 house ; therefore the breadth of the house 
 was still upwards, and so increased from 
 the lowest chamber to the highest by the 
 9 middle. 
 
 8 I saw also the height of the house 
 10 around : the foundations of the side- 
 chambers were d a full reed of six "great 
 cubits. 
 
 9 The thickness of the wall, which was 
 for the side-chamber without, was five 
 cubits: and that which was left tuas the 
 place of the side-chambers that were with- 
 in. 
 
 10 And between the chambers was the 
 width of twenty cubits 12 around the house 
 on every side. 
 
 11 And the doors of the side-chambers 
 were towards the -place which was left, 
 one door towards the north, and anothei 
 door towards the south : and the breadth 
 of the place which was left was five cubits 
 13 around. 
 
 12 Now the building which was before 
 the separate place at the end towards the 
 west was seventy cubits broad; and the 
 wall of the building was five cubits thick 
 "around, and the length thereof ninety 
 cubits. 
 
 13 So he measured the house, a hundred 
 cubits long; and the separate place, and 
 the building, with the walls thereof, a hun- 
 dred cubits long ; 
 
 14 Also the breadth of the face of the 
 house, and of the separate place towards 
 the east, a hundred cubits. 
 
 15 And he measured the length of the 
 building over against the separate place 
 which was behind it, and the ''columns 
 thereof on the one side and on the other 
 side, a hundred cubits, with the inner tem- 
 ple, and the porches of the court ; 
 
 16 The '"thresholds, and 'the "latticed 
 windows, and the 18 columns around on their 
 three stories, over against the ''threshold, 
 tceiled with wood 20 around, Hand from the 
 ground up to the windows, and the win- 
 dows were covered; 
 
 17 To that above the door, even to the 
 inner house, and without, and by all the wall 
 21 around within and without by fmeasure. 
 
 18 And it was made 'with cherubim and 
 palm-trees, so that a palm-tree was be- 
 tween a cherub and a cherub; and every 
 cherub had two faces ; 
 
 19 *So that the face of a man was towards 
 
 579 
 
Tht chambers for the priests. 
 
 the palm-tree on M one side, and the face 
 of a young lion towards the palm-tree on 
 the other side: it was made through all 
 the house 8S around. 
 
 20 From the ground ' even' to above the 
 door were cherubim and palm-trees made, 
 and on the wall of the temple. 
 
 21 The t "door-posts of the temple were 
 squared ; and M in front of the sanctuary, 
 the appearance of K one 27 like the appear- 
 ance of the other. 
 
 22 *The altar of wood was three cubits 
 high, and the length thereof two cubits; 
 and the corners thereof, and the length 
 thereof, and the walls thereof, were of 
 wood : and he said to me, This is "the 
 table which is "before Jehovah. 
 
 23 'And the temple and the sanctuary 
 had two doors. 
 
 24 And the doors had two leaves K each, 
 two turning leaves ; two leaves for the one 
 door, and two leaves for the other door. 
 
 25 And there were made on them, on the 
 doors of the temple, cherubim and palm- 
 trees, like as 'there'' were made on the 
 walls ; and there were 29 thresholds of wood 
 before the porch without. 
 
 26 And there were m30 latticed windows 
 and palm-trees on 31 one side and on the 
 other side, on the sides of the porch, and 
 on the side-chambers of the house, and 
 ^thresholds of wood. 
 
 CHAPTER XLII. 
 
 1 The chambers for the priests. 13 The use thereof. 
 19 The measures of the outward court. 
 
 THEN he brought me l into the outer 
 court, the way towards the north: 
 and he brought me into "the chamber 
 which was over against the separate place, 
 and which was before the building towards 
 the north, 
 
 2 Before the length of a hundred cubits 
 was the north door, and the breadth was 
 fifty cubits. 
 
 3 Over against the twenty cubits which 
 were for the inner court, and over against 
 the pavement which was for the outer 
 court, 2 were 'columns against 'columns in 
 three stories. 
 
 4 And before the chambers was a walk 
 often cubits breadth inward, a way of one 
 cubit; and their doors towards the north. 
 
 5 Now the upper chambers were shorter: 
 for the 4 columns ||were higher than these, 
 ||than the lower, and than the middlemost 
 of the building. 
 
 6 For they were in three stories, but had 
 not pillars 5 like the pillars of the courts : 
 therefore the building was 6 drawn in more 
 than the lowest and the middlemost from 
 the ground. 
 
 7 And the wall which was without over 
 against the chambers, towards the outer 
 court on the forepart of the chambers, the 
 length thereof was fifty cubits. 
 
 8 For the length of the chambers that 
 were in the outer court was fifty cubits : 
 and lo, before the temple were a hundred 
 cubits. 
 
 9 And ||from under these chambers was 
 lithe 'entrance on the east side, ||as one 
 goeth into them from the outer court. 
 
 10 The chambers were in the 8 breadth of 
 the wall of the court towards the east, 
 over against the separate place, and over 
 asainst the building.

 11 And 'the way before them was like 
 the appearance of the chambers which 
 were towards the north, as long as they, 
 and as broad as they: and all their goings 
 out were both according to their fashions, 
 and according to their doors. 
 
 12 And according to the doors of the 
 chambers which were towards the south 
 was a door 9 at the head of the way, even 
 the way directly before the wall towards 
 the east, as one entereth into them. 
 
 13 f Then said he to me, The north 
 chambers and the south chambers which 
 are before the separate place, they w are 
 holy chambers, where the priests who ap- 
 proach to Jehovah d shall eat the most holy 
 things : there shall they lay the most holy 
 things, and 'the "meal-offering, and the 
 sin-offering, and the trespass-offering; for 
 the place is holy. 
 
 14 'When the priests enter therein, then 
 shall they not go out of the holy place into 
 the outer court, but there they shall lay 
 their garments wherein they minister ; for 
 they are holy; and shall put on other gar- 
 ments, and shall approach to n the place 
 which is for the people. 
 
 15 Now when he had made an end of 
 measuring the inner house, he brought me 
 forth towards the gate whose prospect is 
 towards the east, and measured it 13 around. 
 
 16 He measured the east tside with the 
 measuring reed, five hundred reeds, with 
 the measuring reed "around. 
 
 17 He measured the north side, five 
 hundred reeds, with the measuring reed 
 15 around. 
 
 18 He measured the south side, five hun- 
 dred reeds, with the measuring reed. 
 
 19 If He turned about to the west side, 
 and measured five hundred reeds, with 
 the measuring reed. 
 
 20 He measured it by the four sides : f it 
 had a wall 16 around, ''five hundred reeds 
 long, and five hundred broad, to make a 
 separation between the sanctuary and the 
 profane place. 
 
 CHAPTER XLIII. 
 
 1 The returning of the glory of God into the temple. 
 7 The sin of Israel hindered God's presence. 10 The 
 prophet exhorteth them to repentance, and observa- 
 tion of the law of the house. 13 The measures, 
 18 and the ordinances of the altar. 
 
 1 A ND he brought me to the gate, even 
 -£*- the gate "which looketh towards the 
 east : 
 
 2 'And behold, the glory of the God of 
 Israel came from the way of the east : and 
 'his voice was like a noise of many waters : 
 rf and the earth shone with his glory. 
 
 3 And it was 'according to the appear- 
 ance of the vision which I saw, even ac- 
 cording to the vision which I saw ||when I 
 came 'to destroy the city: and the visions 
 were like the vision which I saw ? by the 
 river Chebar; and I fell on my face. 
 
 4 ft And the glory of Jehovah came into 
 the house by the way of the gate whose 
 prospect is towards the east. 
 
 5 i2 And the spirit took me up, and brought 
 me into the inner court ; and behold, *the 
 glory of Jehovah filled the house. 
 
 6 And I heard him speaking to me 3 from 
 the house ; and 'the man stood by me. 
 
 7 If And he said to me, Son of man, m the 
 place of my throne, and "the place of the 
 
The measures of the altar. 
 
 soles of my feet, "where I will dwell in the 
 midst of the children of Israel for ever, 
 and my holy name, shall the house of Is- 
 rael 'no more defile, neither they, nor their 
 kings, by their lewdness, nor by 'the car- 
 casses of their 5 kings in their high places. 
 
 8 r In their setting of their threshold by 
 my thresholds, and their post by my posts, 
 Hand the wall between me and them, they 
 have even defiled my holy name by their 
 abominations which they have committed : 
 wherefore I have consumed them in mine 
 anger. 
 
 9 Now, let them put away their lewd- 
 ness, and 'the carcasses of their kings, far 
 from me, 'and I will dwell in the midst of 
 them for ever. 
 
 10 f Thou son of man, "shew the house 
 to the house of Israel, that they may be 
 ashamed of their iniquities : and let them 
 measure the Hpattern. 
 
 11 And if they be ashamed of all which 
 they have done, shew them the form of 
 the house, and the 'structure thereof, and 
 the goings out thereof, and the Entrances 
 thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all 
 the ordinances thereof, and all the forms 
 thereof, and all the laws thereof: and write 
 it in their sight, that they may keep the 
 whole form thereof, and all the ordinances 
 thereof, and do them. 
 
 12 This is 9 a law of the house ; On x the 
 top of the mountain the whole limit there- 
 of 10 around shall be most holy. Behold, 
 this is "a law of the house. 
 
 13 ^f And these are the measures of the 
 altar 12 by the cubits: y The cubit is a qubit 
 and a hand-breadth; even the t 13 cavity 
 shall be a cubit, and the breadth a cubit, 
 and the border thereof by the tedge there- 
 of "around shall be a span : and this shall 
 be the higher place of the altar. 
 
 14 And from the 15 cavity on the ground 
 even to the lower settle shall be two cubits, 
 and the breadth one cubit ; and from the 
 lesser settle even to the greater settle shall 
 be four cubits, and the breadth one cubit. 
 
 15 So tthe altar shall be four cubits ; and 
 from tthe altar and upward shall be four 
 horns. 
 
 16 And the altar shall be twelve cubits 
 long, twelve broad, square in the four 
 16 squares thereof. 
 
 17 And the settle shall be fourteen cubits 
 long and fourteen broad in the four squares 
 thereof; and the border about it shall be 
 half a cubit ; and the "cavity thereof shall 
 be a cubit 18 around; and rl9 its steps shall 
 look toward the east. 
 
 18 If And he said to me, Son of man, thus 
 saith the Lord Jehovah; These are the 
 ordinances of the altar in the day when 
 they shall make it,' to offer burnt-offerings 
 thereon, and to "sprinkle blood thereon. 
 
 19 And thou shalt give to 'the priests the 
 Levites who are of the seed of Zadok, who 
 approach to me, to minister to me, saith the 
 Lord Jehovah, c a young bullock for a sin- 
 offering. 
 
 20 And thou shalt take of the blood there- 
 of, and put it on the four horns of it, and 
 on the four corners of the settle, and on the 
 border 20 around: thus shalt thou cleanse 
 and 21 purify it. 
 
 21 Thou shalt take the bullock also of 
 the sin-offering, and he d shall burn it in

 THEN he brought me back the way of 
 the gate of the outward sanctuary 
 "which looketh towards the east; and it 
 was shut. 
 
 2 Then said Jehovah to me ; This gate 
 shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and 
 no man shall enter in by it; 'because Je- 
 hovah the God of Israel hath entered in 
 by it, therefore it shall be shut. 
 
 3 It is for the prince ; the prince, he shall 
 sit in it to 'eat 'food before Jehovah; d he 
 shall enter by the way of the porch of that 
 gate, and shall go out by the way of the 
 same. 
 
 4 If Then he brought me the way of the 
 north gate before the house: and I looked, 
 and 'behold, the glory of Jehovah filled 
 the house of Jehovah : ^and I fell on my 
 face. 
 
 5 And Jehovah said to me, e Son of man, 
 tmark well, and behold with thine eyes, 
 and hear with thine ears all which I say to 
 thee concerning all the ordinances of the 
 house of Jehovah, and all the laws there- 
 of; and mark well the Entrance .of the 
 house, with every going forth of the sanc- 
 tuary. 
 
 6 And thou shalt say to the Rebellious, 
 even to the house of Israel, Thus saith the 
 Lord Jehovah ; O ye house of Israel, *let 
 it suffice you of all your abominations; 
 
 7 *In that ye have brought 3 t 'strangers, 
 "•uncircumcised in heart, and uncircum- 
 cised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to 
 pollute it, even my house, when ye offer 
 "my bread, "the fat and the blood, and they 
 have broken my covenant because of all 
 your abominations. 
 
 8 And ye have not 'kept the charge of 
 my holy things : but ye have set keepers 
 of my || charge in my sanctuary for your- 
 selves. 
 
 581 
 
Ordinances for the priests. 
 
 9 If Thus saith the Lord Jehovah; 'No 
 stranger, uncircumcised in heart, nor un- 
 circumcised in flesh, shall enter into my 
 sanctuary, of any stranger that is among 
 the children of Israel. 
 
 10 r4 But the Levites who are gone away 
 far from me, when Israel went astray, who 
 went astray away from me after their idols ; 
 they shall even bear their iniquity. 
 
 11 Yet they shall be ministers in my sanc- 
 tuary, 'having- charge at the gates of the 
 house, and ministering to the house: 'they 
 shall slay the bu rnt-offering and the sacri- 
 fice for the people, and "they shall stand 
 before them to minister to them. 
 
 12 Because they ministered to them be- 
 fore their idols, and "tcaused the house of 
 Israel to fall into iniquity ; therefore have 
 I "lifted up my hand against them, saith 
 the Lord Jehovah, and they shall bear 
 their iniquity. 
 
 13 y And they shall not come near to me, 
 to 5 perform the office of a priest to me, nor 
 to come near to any of my holy things, in 
 the most holy place: but they shall *bear 
 their shame, and their abominations which 
 they have committed. 
 
 14 But I will make them "keepers of the 
 charge of the house, for all the service there- 
 of, and for all which shall be done therein. 
 
 15 If "But the priests the Levites, 'the 
 sons of Zadok, who kept the charge of my 
 sanctuary d when the children of Israel 
 went astray from me, they shall come 
 near to me to minister to me, and they 
 'shall stand before me to offer to me 'the 
 fat and the blood, saith the Lord Jehovah : 
 
 16 They shall enter into my sanctuary, 
 and they shall come near to ? my table, to 
 minister to me, and they shall keep my 
 charge. 
 
 17 If And it shall come to pass, that when 
 they enter in at the gates of the inner court, 
 *they shall be clothed with linen garments ; 
 and no wool shall come upon them, while 
 they minister in the gates of the inner 
 court, and within. 
 
 18 'They shall have linen "turbans on 
 their heads, and shall have linen 'drawers 
 on their loins ; they shall not gird them- 
 selves ||twith any thing that causeth sweat 
 
 19 And when they go forth into the outer 
 court, even into the outer court to the 
 people, Hhey shall put off their garments 
 wherein they ministered, and lay them in 
 the holy chambers, and they shall put on 
 other garments ; and they shall 'not sanc- 
 tify the people with their garments. 
 
 20 ""Neither shall they shave their heads, 
 nor suffer their locks to grow long ; they 
 shall only 8 trim their heads. 
 
 21 "Neither shall any priest drink wine, 
 when they enter into the inner court. 
 
 22 Neither shall they take for their wives 
 a "widow, nor her that is tput away: but 
 they shall take Virgins of the seed of the 
 house of Israel, or a widow twho had a 
 priest before. 
 
 23 And p they shall teach my people the 
 difference between the holy and profane, 
 and cause them to discern between the 
 unclean and the clean. 
 
 24 And 'in controversy they shall stand 
 in judgment; and they shall judge it ac- 
 cording to my judgments : and they shall 
 ^.eep my laws and 10 mine ordinances in all

 25 And they shall come "by no 'dead 
 person to defile themselves : but for father, 
 or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, 
 for brother, or for sister who hath had no 
 husband, they may defile themselves. 
 
 26 And 'after he is cleansed, they shall 
 reckon 12 for him seven days. 
 
 27 And on the day "when he goeth into 
 the sanctuary, " 14 into the inner court, to 
 minister in the sanctuary, *he shall offer 
 his sin-offering, saith the Lord Jehovah. 
 
 28 And it shall be to them for an inhe- 
 ritance; I y am their inheritance: and ye 
 shall give them no possession in Israel : I 
 am their possession. 
 
 29 'They shall eat the 15 meal-offering, and 
 the sin-offering, and the trespass-offering ; 
 and "every ||dedicated thing in Israel shall 
 be theirs. 
 
 30 And the f| "first of all the first-fruits 
 of all things, and every oblation of all, of 
 every sort of your oblations, shall be the 
 priest's : ye c shall also give to the priest 
 the first of your 16 meal, d to cause the bless- 
 ing to rest in thy house. 
 
 31 The priests shall not eat of any thing 
 which is e dead of itself, or torn, whether it

 CHAPTER XLV. 
 
 1 The portion of land for the sanctuary, 6 for the 
 city, 7 and for the prince. 9 Ordinances for the 
 prince. 
 
 MOREOVER, twhen ye shall "divide 
 by lot the land for inheritance, ye 
 shalj "offer an oblation to Jehovah, ta holy 
 portion of the land: the length shall be the 
 length of five and twenty thousand reeds, 
 and the breadth shall be ten thousand. 
 This shall be holy in all the borders there- 
 of 'around. 
 
 2 Of this there shall be for the sanctuary 
 'five hundred in length, with five hundred 
 in breadth, square 2 around ; and fifty cu- 
 bits 3 around for the ||suburbs thereof. 
 
 3 And of this measure shalt thou mea- 
 sure the length of five and twenty thou- 
 sand, and the breadth of ten thousand: 
 d and in it shall be the sanctuary and the 
 most holy place. 
 
 4 e The holy portion of the land shall be 
 for the priests the ministers of the sanctu- 
 ary, who shall come near to minister to 
 Jehovah: and it shall be a place for their 
 houses, and a holy place for the sanctuary. 
 
 5 'And the five and twenty thousand of 
 length, and the ten thousand of breadth, 
 shall also the Levites, the ministers of the 
 house, have for themselves, for a posses- 
 sion for ^twenty chambers. 
 
 6 "|f A And ye shall appoint the possession 
 of the city five thousand broad, and five 
 and twenty thousand long, over against 
 the oblation of the holy portion : it shall 
 be for the whole house of Israel. 
 
 7 If 'And a portion shall be for the prince 
 on the one side and on the other side of 
 the oblation of the holy portion, and of the 
 possession of the city, before the oblation 
 of the holy portion, and before the posses- 
 sion of the city, from the west side west- 
 ward, and from the east side eastward : 
 and the length shall be over against one of 
 the portions, from the west border to the 
 east border. 
 
Ordinances for the prince 
 
 8 In the land shall be his possession in 
 Israel : and *my princes shall no more op- 
 press my people ; and the rest of the land 
 shall they give to the house of Israel ac- 
 cording to their tribes. 
 
 9 ^ Thus saith the Lord Jehovah; 'Let 
 it suffice you, princes of Israel : "remove 
 violence and Oppression, and execute judg- 
 ment and justice, take away yourtexactions 
 from my people, saith the Lord Jehovah. 
 
 10 Ye shall have just "balances, and a 
 just ephah, and a just bath. 
 
 11 The ephah and the bath shall be of one 
 measure, that the bath may contain the 
 tenth part of a homer, and the ephah the 
 tenth part of a homer: the measure there- 
 of shall be According to the homer. 
 
 12 And the "shekel shall be twenty gerahs : 
 twenty shekels, five and twenty shekels, 
 fifteen shekels 'together,'' shall be your 
 maneh. 
 
 13 This is the 6 heave-offering which ye 
 shall offer; the sixth part of an ephah of a 
 homer of wheat, and ye shall give the sixth 
 part of an ephah of a homer of barley ; 
 
 14 Concerning the ordinance of oil, the 
 bath of oil, ye shall offer the tenth part of 
 a bath out of the cor, which is a homer of 
 ten baths : for ten baths are a homer : 
 
 15 And one ||lamb 7 from the flock, out of 
 two hundred, out of the 8 watered pastures 
 of Israel, for a 9 meal-offering, and for a 
 burnt-offering, and for "thank-offerings, 
 p to make "atonement for them, saith the 
 Lord Jehovah. 
 
 16 All the people of the land tshall give 
 this oblation ||for the prince in Israel. 
 
 17 And it shall be the prince's part to 
 give burnt-offerings, and 12 meal-offerings, 
 and drink-offerings, in the feasts, and in 
 the new-moons, and in the sabbaths, in all 
 solemnities of the house of Israel: he shall 
 prepare the sin-offering, and the 13 meal- 
 oftering, and the burnt-offering, and the 
 l4 thank-ofterings, to make 15 atonement for 
 the house of Israel. 
 
 18 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah; In the 
 first month, on the first day of the month, 
 thou shalt take a young bullock without 
 blemish, and 'cleanse the sanctuary: 
 
 19 'And the priest shall take * some' of 
 the blood of the sin-offering, and put it on 
 the posts of the house, and on the four cor- 
 ners of the settle of the altar, and on the 
 posts of the gate of the inner court. 
 
 20 And so thou shalt do the seventh day 
 of the month 'for every one who erreth, 
 and for him who is 16 foolish: so shall ye 
 "make atonement for the house. 
 
 21 'In the first month, on the fourteenth 
 day of the month, ye shall have the pass- 
 over, a feast of seven days; unleavened 
 bread shall be eaten. 
 
 22 And on that day shall the prince pre- 
 pare for himself and for all the people of 
 the land "a bullock for a sin-offering. 
 
 23 And x seven days of the feast he shall 
 prepare a burnt-offering to Jehovah, seven 
 bullocks and seven rams without blemish 
 daily the seven days ; "and a kid of the 
 goats daily for a sin-offering. 
 
 24 'And he shall prepare a 18 meal-offering 
 of an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for 
 a ram, and a hin of oil for an ephah. 
 
 25 In the seventh month, on the fifteenth 
 day of the month, shall he do the 19 same in

 1 Ordinances for the prince in his worship, 9 and 
 for the people. 16 An order for the prince's inhe- 
 ritance. 19 The courts for boiling and baking. 
 
 THUS saith the Lord Jehovah; The 
 gate of the inner court that looketh 
 towards the east, shall be shut the six 
 working days; but on the sabbath it shall 
 be opened, and on the day of the new- 
 moon it shall be opened. 
 
 2 "And the prince shall enter by the way 
 of the porch of that gate without, and shall 
 stand by the post of the gate, and the 
 priests shall prepare his burnt-offering and 
 his 'thank-offerings, and he shall worship 
 at the threshold of the gate : then he shall 
 go forth; but the gate shall not be shut 
 until the evening. 
 
 3 Likewise the people of the land shall 
 worship at the door of this gate before Je- 
 hovah on the sabbaths and on the new- 
 moons. 
 
 4 And the burnt-offering which 'the prince 
 shall offer to Jehovah on the sabbath day 
 shall be six lambs without blemish, and a 
 ram without blemish. 
 
 5 'And the 2 meal -offering shall be an ephah 
 for a ram, and the 3 meal-oftering for the 
 lambs tas he shall be able to give, and a 
 hin of oil to an ephah. 
 
 6 And on the day of the new-moon it 
 shall be a young bullock without blemish, 
 and six lambs, and a ram : they shall be 
 without blemish. 
 
 7 And he shall prepare a 4 meal-offering, 
 an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a 
 ram, and for the lambs according as 5 he is 
 able, and a hin of oil to an ephah. 
 
 8 ''And when the prince shall enter, he 
 shall go in by the way of the porch of that 
 gate, and he shall go forth by the way 
 thereof. 
 
 9 *f But when the people of the land 'shall 
 come before Jehovah in the solemn feasts, 
 he who entereth in by the way of the north 
 gate to worship, shall go out by the way of 
 the south gate ; and he who entereth by the 
 way of the south gate, shall go forth by the 
 way of the north gate: he shall not return 
 by the way of the gate whereby he came 
 in, but shall go forth over against it. 
 
 10 And the prince in the midst of them, 
 when they go in, shall go in; and when 
 they go forth, shall go forth. 
 
 11 And on the feasts and on the solemni- 
 ties -the 6 meal -offering shall be an ephah to 
 a bullock, and an ephah to a ram, and to 
 the lambs as he is able to give, and a hin 
 of oil to an ephah. 
 
 12 Now, when the prince shall prepare 
 a voluntary burnt-offering or 'thank-offer- 
 ings voluntarily to Jehovah, s one shall 
 then open 'for'' him the gate which look- 
 eth towards the east, and he shall prepare 
 his burnt-offering and his 'thank-offerings, 
 as he did on the sabbath day: then he shall 
 go forth; and after his going forth one shall 
 shut the gate. 
 
 13 '■Thou shalt daily prepare a burnt-of- 
 fering to Jehovah of a lamb tof the first 
 year without blemish : thou shalt prepare 
 it tevery morning. 
 
 583 
 
The vision of the holy waters. 
 
 14 And thou shalt prepare a 9 meal-offer 
 ing for it every morning, the sixth part of 
 an ephah, and the third part of a hin of oil, 
 to '"moisten the fine flour ; a "meal-offer- 
 ing continually by a perpetual ordinance 
 to Jehovah. 
 
 15 Thus shall they prepare the lamb, and 
 the 12 meal -offering, and the oil, every morn- 
 ing/or a continual burnt-offering. 
 
 16 If Thus saith the Lord jEHoyAH ; If 
 the prince give a gift to any of his sons, 
 the inheritance thereof shall be his sons' ; 
 it shall be their possession by inheritance. 
 
 17 But if he give a gift of his inheritance 
 to one of his servants, then it shall be his 
 to *the year of liberty ; afterwards, it shall 
 return to the prince: but his inheritance 
 shall be his sons' for them. 
 
 18 13 But *the prince shall not take of 
 the people's inheritance by oppression, to 
 thrust them out of their possession; but 
 he shall give his sons inheritance out of 
 his own possession : that my people be not 
 scattered every man from his possession. 
 
 19 % "And he brought me through the 
 "entrance, which was at the side of the 
 gate, into the holy chambers of the priests, 
 which looked towards the north : and be- 
 hold, there was a place on the two sides 
 westward. 
 
 20 Then said he to me, This is the place 
 where the priests shall 'boil the trespass- 
 offering and the sin-offering, where they 
 shall m bake the ,6 meal-offering ; that they 
 bear them not out into the outer court, "to 
 sanctify the people. 
 
 21 Then he brought me " into the outer 
 court, and caused me to pass by the four 
 corners of the court; and behold, tin every 
 corner of the court there was a court. 
 
 22 In the four corners of the court there 
 ivere courts || "joined of forty cubits long 
 and thirty broad : these four tcorners were 
 of one measure. 
 
 23 And there was a row of building 
 "around in them, 20 around those four, and 
 it was made with boiling-places under the 
 rows 21 around. 
 
 24 Then said he to me, These are the 
 places of those who boil, where the minis- 
 ters of the house shall "boil the sacrifice 
 of the people.

 issued out from under the threshold of the 
 house eastward : for the 2 front of the house 
 stood towards the east, and the waters 
 came down from 3 below, from the right 
 side of the house, at the south side of the 
 altar. 
 
 2 Then he brought me 4 the way of the 
 gate northward, and led me about the way 
 without to the outer gate by the way which 
 looketh eastward ; and behold, there drop- 
 ped out waters on the right side. 
 
 3 And when 'the man which had the line 
 in his hand, went forth eastward, he mea- 
 sured a thousand cubits, and he brought 
 me through the waters ; the twaters were 
 to the ankles.

 ters were to the knees. Again he mea-

 the waters were to the loins. 
 
 5 Afterwards he measured a thousand ; 
 and it was a river which I could not pass 6 : 
 for the waters were risen, twaters to swim 
 in, a river which could not be passed 7 . 
 
 6 If And he said to me, Son of man, hast 
 thou seen this ? Then he brought me, and 
 caused me to return to the brink of the 
 river. 
 
 7 Now, when I had returned, behold, at 
 the tbank of the river were very many 
 c trees on the one side and on the other. 
 
 8 Then said he to me, These waters 'flow 
 out towards the east country, and go down 
 into the ||desert, and go into the sea: which 
 being brought forth into the sea, the waters 
 shall be healed. 
 
 9 And it shall come to pass, that every 
 thing that liveth, which moveth, whither- 
 soever the trivers shall come, shall live : 
 and there shall be a very great 9 abundance 
 of fish, because these waters shall come 
 thither: for they shall be healed: and 
 every thing shall live whither the river 
 cometh. 
 
 10 And it shall come to pass, that the 
 fishers shall stand '°by it from En-gedi even 
 toEn-eglaim; they shall be aplace to spread 
 forth nets ; their fish shall be according to 
 their kinds, "like the fish d of the great sea, 
 exceedingly many. 
 
 11 But the miry places thereof and the 
 marshes thereof || shall not be healed; they 
 shall be given to salt. 
 
 12 And e by the river on the bank thereof, 
 on this side and on that side, tshall grow 
 all trees for 12 food, %hose leaf shall not 
 fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be "ex- 
 hausted : it shall bring forth j| "early fruit 
 according to its months, because their wa- 
 ters they "flowed from the sanctuary : and 
 the fruit thereof shall be for "food, and the 
 leaf thereof ||for ^medicine. 
 
 13 ^[ Thus saith the Lord Jehovah ; This 
 shall be the border, whereby ye shall in- 
 herit the land according to the twelve 
 tribes of Israel : Moseph shall have two 
 portions. 
 
 14 And ye shall inherit it, one as well as 
 another : concerning " which I || 'lifted up 
 my hand to give it to your fathers : and 
 this land shall "fall to you for inheritance. 
 
 15 And this shall be the border of the

 18 And the east side ye shall measure

 CHAPTER I. 
 
 1 Jehoiakim's. captivity. 3 Ashpenaz taketh Daniel, 
 Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. 8 They refus- 
 ing the king's portion do prosper with pulse and 
 water. 17 Their excellency in wisdom. 
 
 IN the third year of the reign of Jehoia- 
 kim king of Judah "came Nebuchadnez- 
 zar king of Babylon to Jerusalem, and be- 
 sieged it. 
 
 2 And the 'Lord gave Jehoiakim king of 
 Judah into his hand, with 'part of the ves- 
 sels of the house of God : which he carried 
 'into the land of Shinar to the house of his 
 god ; d and he brought the vessels into the 
 treasure-house of his god. 
 
 3 <|f And the king spoke to Ashpenaz the 
 master of his eunuchs, that he should bring 
 * certain of the children of Israel, and of 
 the 2 royal family, and of the 3 princes ; 
 
 4 Children *in whom was no blemish, but 
 well favoured, and skilful in all wisdom, 
 and discerning in knowledge, and under- 
 standing science, and such as had ability 
 in them to stand in the king's palace, and 
 Avhom they might teach the learning and 
 the tongue of the Chaldeans. 
 
 5 And the king appointed them a daily 
 provision of the king's 6 food, and of tthe 
 wine which he drank : so nourishing them 
 three years, that at the end thereof they 
 miaht g stand before the king. 
 
 6^ow, among these were of the children 
 of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and 
 Azariah : 
 
 7 A To whom the prince of the eunuchs 
 gave names: 'for he gave to Daniel the 
 name of Belteshazzar ; and to Hananiah, 
 of Shadrach; and to Mishael, of Meshach; 
 and to Azariah, of Abed-nego. 
 
 8 ^[ But Daniel purposed in his heart that 
 he would not defile himself *with the por- 
 tion of the king's 7 food, nor with the wine 
 which he drank: therefore, he requested 
 of the prince of the eunuchs that he might 
 not defile himself. 
 
 9 Now 'God had brought Daniel into fa- 
 vour and tender love with the prince of the 
 eunuchs. 
 
 10 And the prince of the eunuchs said to 
 Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who hath 
 appointed your 8 food and your drink : for 
 why should he see your faces 'in a' tworse 
 Condition than the children who are of 
 your || ,0 age ? then "will ye make me "for- 
 feit my head to the king. 
 
 11 Then said Daniel to 13 fhe steward, 
 whom the prince of the eunuchs had set 
 over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Aza- 
 riah,

 13 Then let our countenances be looked 
 upon before thee, and the countenance of 
 the children who eat of the portion of the 
 king's 15 food : and as thou seest, deal with

 14 So he '"hearkened to them in this mat- 
 ter, and proved them ten days. 
 
 15 And at the end often days their coun- 
 tenances appeared fairer and fatter in flesh 
 than all the children who ate the portion 
 of the king's "food.

 tion of their 19 food, and the wine which 
 they should *°have drunk ; and gave them

 17 1f As for these four children, m God 
 gave them "knowledge and skill in all 
 learning and wisdom: and || Daniel had 
 "understanding in all visions and dreams. 
 
 18 Now at the end of the days ^wlien the 
 king had said he should bring them in, 
 then the prince of the eunuchs brought 
 them in before Nebuchadnezzar. 
 
 19 And the king ^talked with them: and 
 among them all was found ^no one like 
 Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah : 
 therefore 'stood they before the king. 
 
 20 «And in all matters of twisdom and 
 understanding, that the king inquired of 
 them, he found them ten times better than 
 all the magicians and ^enchanters who 
 were in all his 26 kingdom. 
 
 21 'And Daniel continued even to the 
 first year of king Cyrus. 
 
 CHAPTER II. 
 
 1 Nebuchadnezzar, forgetting his dream, requireth 
 it of the Chaldeans, by promises and threatenings. 
 10 They acknowledging their inability are judged 
 to die. 14 Daniel obtaining some respite findeth 
 the dream. 19 He blesseth God. 24 He staying 
 the decree is brought to the king. 31 The dream. 
 36 The interpretation. 46 Daniel's advancement. 
 
 AND in the second year of the reign of 
 Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar 
 dreamed dreams, "wherewith his spirit 
 was troubled, and 'his sleep 'left him. 
 
 2 'Then the king commanded to call the 
 magicians, and the astrologers, and the 
 2 enchanters, and the Chaldeans, 3 to shew 
 the king his dreams. So they came and 
 stood before the king. 
 
 3 And the king said to them, I have 
 dreamed a dream, and my spirit was 
 troubled to know the dream. 
 
 4 Then spake the Chaldeans to the king 
 in 4 Syriac, d O king, live for ever : tell thy 
 servants the dream, and we will shew the 
 interpretation. 
 
Nebuchadnezzar forgetteth his dream. 
 
 5 The king answered and said to the 
 Chaldeans, The thing is gone from me: if 
 ye will not make known to me the dream, 
 with the interpretation thereof, ye shall be 
 'tcut in pieces, and your houses shall be 
 made a dunghill. 
 
 6 'But if ye shew the dream, and the in- 
 terpretation thereof, ye shall receive of me 
 gifts and ||rewards and great honour: there- 
 fore, shew me the dream, and the interpre- 
 tation thereof. 
 
 7 They answered again and said, Let the 
 king tell his servants the dream, and we 
 will shew the interpretation of it. 
 
 8 The king answered and said, I know 
 'certainly that ye would tgain the time, 
 because ye see the thing is gone from me. 
 
 9 But, if ye will not make known to me 
 the dream, e there is but one decree for 
 you : for ye have prepared lying and cor- 
 rupt words to speak before me, till the 
 time be changed: therefore tell me the 
 dream, and I shall know that ye can shew 
 me the interpretation thereof. 
 
 10 If The Chaldeans answered before the 
 king, and said, There is not a man on the 
 earth who can shew the king's matter : 
 therefore there is no king, lord, nor ruler, 
 ''who hath asked such 8 a thing of any ma- 
 gician, or 9 enchanter, or Chaldean. 
 
 11 And it is a *°diffi cult thing which the 
 king requireth and there is no other who 
 can shew it before the king, /except the 
 gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh. 
 
 12 For this cause the king was angry and 
 very furious, and commanded to destroy 
 all the wise men of Babylon. 
 
 13 And the decree went forth that the 
 wise mew should be slain; and they sought 
 Daniel and his fellows to be slain. 
 
 14 TJ Then Daniel tanswered with u pru- 
 dence and wisdom to Arioch the ||tcaptain 
 of the king's guard, who 13 had gone forth 
 to slay the wise men of Babylon : 
 
 15 He answered and said to Arioch the 
 king's captain, Why is the decree so hasty 
 from the king? Then Arioch made the 
 thing known to Daniel. 
 
 16 Then Daniel went in, and desired of 
 the king that he would give him time, and 
 that he would shew the king the interpre- 
 tation. 
 
 17 Then Daniel went to his house and 
 made the thing known to Hananiah, Mi- 
 shael, and Azariah, his companions : 
 
 18 £ That they would desire mercies tof 
 the God of heaven concerning this secret ; 
 lithat Daniel and his "companions might 
 not perish with the rest of the wise men 
 of Babylon. 
 
 19 % Then was the secret revealed to 
 Daniel *in a night vision. Then Daniel 
 blessed the God of heaven. 
 
 20 Daniel answered and said, 'Blessed 
 be the name of God for ever and ever: 
 ra for wisdom and might are his : 
 
 21 And he changeth the "times and the 
 seasons ; "he removeth kings, and setteth 
 up kings ; p he giveth wisdom to the wise, 
 and knowledge to those who know under- 
 standing : 
 
 22 *He revealeth the deep and "hidden 
 things : r he knoweth what is in the dark- 
 ness, and 'the light dwelleth with him. 
 
 23 I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou 
 God of my fathers, who hast given me

 Daniel maketh it known. 
 
 wisdom and might, and hast made known 
 to me now what we 'desired of thee: for 
 thou hast now made known to us the 
 king's matter. 
 
 24 f Therefore, Daniel went in to Arioch, 
 whom the king had ordained to destroy the 
 wise men of Babylon : he went and said 
 thus to him ; Destroy not the wise men of 
 Babylon : bring me in before the king, and 
 I will shew to the king the interpretation. 
 
 25 Then Arioch brought in Daniel before 
 the king in haste, and said thus to him, tl 
 have found a man of the tcaptives of Ju- 
 dah, who will make known to the king the 
 interpretation. 
 
 26 The king answered and said to Daniel, 
 whose name was Belteshazzar, Art thou 
 able to make known to me the dream which 
 I have seen, and the interpretation thereof? 
 
 27 Daniel answered in the presence of 
 the king, and said, The secret which the 
 king hath I6 asked, the wise men, the as- 
 trologers, the magicians, the sooth-sayers, 
 cannot shew to the king ; 
 
 28 "But, there is a God in heaven who 
 revealeth secrets, and tmaketh known to 
 the king Nebuchadnezzar *what shall be 
 in the latter days. Thy dream, and the 
 visions of thy head on thy bed, are these; 
 
 29 "Thou— O king, thy thoughts tcame 
 into thy mind on thy bed, what should 
 come to pass hereafter : "and he who re- 
 vealeth secrets maketh known to thee 
 what shall come to pass. 
 
 30 *But as for me, this secret is not re- 
 vealed to me I8 by any wisdom which I 
 have more than any living, but 19 so that 
 the interpretation should be made known 
 to the king, "and that thou mightest know 
 the thoughts of thy heart. 
 
 31 f Thou, O king, ^wast looking, and 
 behold a great image. This great image, 
 whose brightness was 21 great, stood before 
 thee; and the ^appearance thereof was 
 terrible. 
 
 32 This image's head was of fine gold, 
 his breast and his arms of silver, his belly 
 and his Hthighs of brass, 
 
 33 His legs of iron, his feet partly of iron 
 and partly of clay. 
 
 34 Thou ^didst see till that a stone was cut 
 out || 'without hands, which smote the image 
 on his feet which were of iron and clay, 
 and broke them in pieces. 
 
 35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, 
 the silver, and the gold, broken in pieces 
 together, and became "like the chaff of the 
 summer threshing-floors; and the wind 
 carried them away, 'so' that e no place was 
 found for them : and the stone that smote 
 the image s became a great ^mountain, g and 
 filled the whole earth. 
 
 36 If This is the dream ; and we will tell 
 the interpretation thereof before the king. 
 
 37 Thou, O king, art a king of kings : 
 'for the God of heaven hath given thee a 
 kingdom, power, and 25 authority, and glory. 
 
 38 "And wheresoever the children of men 
 dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls 
 of the heaven hath he given into thy hand, 
 and hath made thee ruler over them all. 
 'Thou art this head of gold. 
 
 39 And after thee shall arise ""another 
 kingdom "inferior to thee, and another 
 third kingdom of brass, which shall bear 
 rule over all the earth. 
 
 587 
 
The dream interpreted. 
 
 40 And 'the fourth kingdom shall be 
 strong 26 like iron : 27 because iron breaketh 
 in pieces and subdueth all things : and as 
 iron that breaketh all these, shall it break 
 in pieces and bruise. 
 
 41 And whereas thou ^didst see 'the feet 
 and toes, partly of potters' clay, and partly 
 of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but 
 there shall be in it 29 the strength of the 
 iron, forasmuch as thou ""didst see the iron 
 mixed with miry clay 
 
 42 And as the toes of the feet were partly 
 of iron, and partly of clay, so the kingdom 
 shall be partly strong, and partly 31 weak. 
 
 43 And whereas thou 32 didst see iron 
 mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle 
 themselves with the seed of men : but 
 they shall not cleave tone to another, even 
 as iron is not mixed with clay. 
 
 44 And in tthe days of these kings 'shall 
 the God of heaven set up a kingdom, 
 'which shall never be destroyed : and the 
 tkingdom shall not be left to other people, 
 'but it shall break in pieces and "'consume 
 all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for 
 ever. 
 
 45 "Forasmuch as thou "Midst see that the 
 stone was cut out of the mountain || without 
 hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, 
 the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; 
 the great God hath made known to the 
 king what shall come to pass thereafter : 
 and the dream is certain, and the inter- 
 pretation thereof sure. 
 
 46 If "Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell 
 on his face, and worshipped Daniel, and 
 commanded that they should offer an ob- 
 lation y and sweet odours to him. 
 
 47 The king answered to Daniel, and 
 said, Of a truth it is, that your God is a 
 God of gods, and a Lord of kings, *and a 
 revealer of secrets, seeing thou couldest 
 reveal this secret. 
 
 48 Then the king made Daniel a great 
 man, "and gave him many great gifts, and 
 made him ruler over the whole province 
 of Babylon, and 'chief of the governors 
 over all the wise men of Babylon. « 
 
 49 Then Daniel requested of the king, 
 'and he set Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed- 
 nego, over the affairs of the province of 
 Babylon: but Daniel d sat in the gate of 
 the king. 
 
 CHAPTER III. 
 
 1 Nebuchadnezzar dedicatetk a golden image in 
 Dura. 8 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego are 
 accused for not worshipping the image. 13 They, 
 being threatened, make a good confession. 19 God 
 delivereth them out of the furnace. 26 Nebuchad- 
 nezzar seeing the miracle blesseth God. 
 
 NEBUCHADNEZZAR the king made 
 an image of gold, whose height was 
 threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof 
 six cubits : he set it up in the 'valley of 
 Dura, in the province of Babylon. 
 
 2 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to 
 gather together the princes, the governors, 
 and the captains, the judges, the treasur- 
 ers, the counsellors, the 2 lawyers, and all 
 the rulers of the provinces, to come to the 
 dedication of the image which Nebuchad- 
 nezzar the king had set up. 
 
 3 Then the princes, the governors, and 
 captains, the judges, the treasurers, the 
 counsellors, the "lawyers, and all the 
 rulers of the provinces, were gathered to

 gether to the dedication of the image which 
 Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and 
 they stood before the image which Nebu- 
 chadnezzar had set up. 
 
 4 Then a herald cried taloud, To you tit 
 is commanded, °0 people, nations, and 
 languages, 
 
 5 That at 4 the time when ye hear the 
 sound of the *horn, flute, harp, 6 lyre, psal- 
 tery, ||t 7 bagpipe, and all kinds of music, 
 ye fall down and worship the golden image 
 which Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set 
 up. 
 
 6 And whoever falleth not down and 
 worshippeth shall the same hour *be cast 
 into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. 
 
 7 Therefore, at that time, when all the 
 people heard the sound of the 8 horn, flute, 
 harp, 9 lyre, psaltery, and all kinds of mu- 
 sic, all the people, the nations, and the 
 languages, fell down and worshipped the 
 
 f olden image which Nebuchadnezzar the 
 ing had set up. 
 
 8 If Wherefore at that time certain Chal- 
 deans 'came near, and accused the Jews. 
 
 9 They spoke and said to the king Nebu- 
 chadnezzar, d O king, live for ever. 
 
 10 Thou, O king, hast made a decree, that 
 every man who shall hear the sound of the 
 10 horn, flute, harp, "lyre, psaltery, and 
 12 bagpipe, and all kinds of music, shall fall 
 down and worship the golden image : 
 
 I! And whoever falleth not down and wor- 
 shippeth, that he should be cast into the 
 midst of a burning fiery furnace. 
 
 12 'There are certain Jews whom thou 
 hast set over the affairs of the province of 
 Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed- 
 nego; these men, O king, thave not re- 
 garded thee: they serve not thy gods, nor 
 worship the golden image which thou hast 
 set up. 
 
 13 ^f Then Nebuchadnezzar in his rage 
 and fury commanded to bring Shadrach, 
 Meshach, and Abed-nego. Then they 
 brought these men before the king. 
 
 14 Nebuchadnezzar spoke and said to 
 them, Is it l3 your purpose, O Shadrach, 
 Meshach, and Abed-nego, do not ye serve 
 my gods, nor worship the golden image 
 which I have set up ? 
 
 15 Now if ye be ready ' 4 at the time when 
 ye hear the sound of the ,5 horn, flute, harp, 
 16 lyre, psaltery, and "bagpipe, and all kinds 
 of music, ye fall down and worship the 
 image which I have made; f well: but if ye 
 worship not, ye shall be cast the same hour 
 into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; 
 *and who is that God that 18 will deliver 
 you "from my hands ? 
 
 16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, 
 answered and said to the king, O Nebu- 
 chadnezzar, * M we are not careful to an- 
 swer thee in this matter. 
 
 17 If it be so, our God whom we serve is 
 able to deliver us from the burning fiery 
 furnace, and he will deliver us 21 from thy 
 hand, O king. 
 
 18 But if not, be it known to thee, O king, 
 that we will not serve thy gods, nor wor- 
 sRip the golden image which thou hast set 
 up. 
 
 19 If Then was Nebuchadnezzar tfull of 
 fury, and the form of his visage was chang- 
 ed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed- 
 nego : therefore he spoke, and commanded 
 
cast into the fiery furnace. 
 
 that they should heat the furnace ** seven 
 times more than it was ^usually heated. 
 
 20 And he commanded the tmost mighty 
 men who were in his army to bind Sha- 
 drach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, and to 
 cast them into the burning fiery furnace. 
 
 21 Then these men were bound in their 
 ^wide drawers, their ^under drawers, and 
 their 26 mantles, and their other garments, 
 and were cast into the midst of the burn- 
 ing fiery furnace. 
 
 22 Therefore because the king's t com- 
 mandment was urgent, and the furnace 
 exceedingly hot, the || flame of the fire 
 slew those men that took up Shadrach, 
 Meshach, and Abed-nego. 
 
 23 And these three men, Shadrach, Me- 
 shach, and Abed-nego, fell down bound 
 in the midst of the burning fiery furnace. 
 
 24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was 
 astonished, and rose up in haste, and spoke, 
 and said to his ||counsellors, Did not we 
 cast three men bound into the midst of the 
 fire ? They answered and said to the king, 
 ""Certainly, O king. 
 
 25 He answered and said, Lo, I see four 
 men loose, 'walking in the midst of the 
 fire, and tthey have no hurt: and the 28 ap- 
 pearance of the fourth is like ,M the Son of 
 God. 
 
 26 If Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to 
 the tmouth of the burning fiery furnace, 
 and spoke, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, 
 and Abed-nego, ye servants of the most 
 high God, come forth, and come hither. 
 Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, 
 came forth '"from the midst of the fire. 
 
 27 And the princes, governors, and cap- 
 tains, and the king's counsellors, being 
 gathered together, saw these men, m on 
 whose bodies the fire 'had no power, nor 
 was a hair of their head singed, neither 
 were their 31 wide drawers changed, nor 
 the smell of fire had passed on them. 
 
 28 7%enNebuchadnezzar spoke, and said, 
 Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, 
 and Abed-nego, who hath sent his angel, 
 and delivered his servants who "trusted in 
 him, and have changed the king's word, 
 and yielded their bodies, that they might 
 not serve nor worship any god, except 
 their own God. 
 
 29 "Therefore, tl make a decree, That 
 every people, nation, and language, who 
 speak tany thing amiss against the God of 
 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, shall 
 be p tcut in pieces, and their houses shall 
 be made a 32 manure-heap : 'because there 
 is no other god who can deliver 33 thus. 
 
 30 Then the king t promoted Shadrach, 
 Meshach, and Abed-nego, in the province 
 of Babylon.

 Nebuchadnezzar'' 8 dream. 
 
 ""an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion 
 is from generation to generation. 
 
 4 If I Nebuchadnezzar was at rest in my 
 house, and flourishing in my palace : 
 
 5 I saw a dream which made me afraid, 
 and the thoughts on my bed and the visions 
 of my head 'troubled me. 
 
 6 1 herefore I made a decree to bring in 
 all the wise men of Babylon before me, 
 that they might make known to me the 
 interpretation of the dream. 
 
 7 *Then came in the magicians, the 'en- 
 chanters, the 'astrologers, and the sooth- 
 sayers: and I told the dream before them; 
 but they did not make known to me the 
 interpretation thereof. 
 
 8 If But at 3 last Daniel came in before 
 me, "whose name was Belteshazzar, ac- 
 cording to the name of my god, 'and in 
 whom is the spirit of the holy gods : and 
 before him I told the dream, saying, 
 
 9 O Belteshazzar, 'master of the magi- 
 cians, because I know that the spirit of 
 the holy gods is in thee, and no secret 
 troubleth thee, tell me the visions of my 
 dream which I have seen, and the inter- 
 pretation thereof. 
 
 10 Thus were the visions of my head in 
 my bed ; tl saw, and behold 'a tree in the 
 midst of the earth, and the height thereof 
 was great. 
 
 11 The tree grew, and was strong, and 
 the height thereof reached to heaven, and 
 the sight thereof to the end of all the earth : 
 
 12 The leaves thereof were fair, and the 
 fruit thereof much, and on it was 4 food for 
 all : m the beasts of the field had shadow 
 under it, and the fowls of the heaven dwelt 
 in the boughs thereof, and all flesh was fed 
 6 from it. 
 
 13 I saw in the visions of my head on my 
 bed, and behold, "a watcher and "a holy 
 one came down from heaven ; 
 
 14 He cried taloud, and said thus, p Hew 
 down the tree, and cut off* his branches, 
 shake off his leaves, and scatter his fruit: 
 'let the beasts get away from under it, and 
 the fowls from nis branches. 
 
 15 Nevertheless, leave the stump of his 
 roots in the earth, even with a 6 fetter of 
 iron and brass, 'among the tender grass of 
 the field ; and let 8 him be wet with the 
 dew of heaven, and let his portion be with 
 the beasts 9 among the grass of the earth. 
 
 16 Let his heart be changed from man's, 
 and let a beast's heart be given to him; 
 and let seven times pass over him. 
 
 17 This matter is by the decree of the 
 watchers, and the demand by the word of 
 the holy ones: 10 so s that the living may 
 know 'that the Most High ruleth in the 
 kingdom of men, and giveth it to whom- 
 soever he will, and setteth up over it the 
 basest of men. 
 
 18 This dream I king Nebuchadnezzar 
 have seen. Now thou, O Belteshazzar, 
 declare the interpretation thereof, "foras- 
 much as all the wise men of my kingdom 
 are not able to make known to me the 
 interpretation : but thou art able ; *for the 
 spirit of the holy gods is in thee. 
 
 19 If Then Daniel, "whose name was 
 Belteshazzar, was astonished for one hour, 
 and his thoughts troubled him. The king 
 spoke, and said, Belteshazzar, let not. the 
 dream, or the interpretation thereof,, trou- 
 
 589 
 
Daniel inlerpreteth the dream. 
 
 ble thee. Belteshazzar answered, and 
 said, My lord, *the dream be to those who 
 hate thee, and the interpretation thereof 
 to thine enemies. 
 
 20 "The tree "which thou didst see, which 
 grew, and was strong, whose height reach- 
 ed to the heaven, and the sight thereof to 
 all the earth ; 
 
 21 Whose leaves were fair, and the fruit 
 thereof much, and on it was l2 food for all ; 
 under which the beasts of the field dwelt, 
 and on whose branches the fowls of the 
 heaven had their habitation : 
 
 22 'It is thou, king, who art grown and 
 become strong: for thy greatness is grown, 
 and reacheth to heaven, c and thy dominion 
 to the end of the earth. 
 
 23 d And whereas the king saw a watcher 
 and a holy one coming down from heaven, 
 and saying, Hew the tree down, and de- 
 stroy it ; yet leave the stump of the roots 
 thereof in the earth, even with a "fetter of 
 iron and brass, "among the tender grass of 
 the field ; and let l6 him be wet with the dew 
 of heaven, 'and let his portion be with the 
 beasts of the field, till seven times pass 
 over him ; 
 
 24 This is the interpretation, O king, and 
 this is the decree of the Most High, which 
 I6 hath come upon my lord the king : 
 
 25 That they "will 'drive thee from men, 
 and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts 
 of the field, and they shall make thee g to 
 eat grass 18 like oxen, and they shall wet 
 thee with the dew of heaven, and seven 
 times shall pass over thee, ''till thou know 
 that the Most High ruleth in the kingdom 
 of men, and 'giveth it to whomsoever he 
 will. 
 
 26 And whereas they commanded to leave 
 the stump of the tree roots ; thy kingdom 
 shall be sure to thee, after that thou shalt 
 have known that the 'heavens do rule. 
 
 27 Therefore, O king, let my counsel be 
 acceptable to thee, and 'break oft' thy sins 
 by righteousness, and thine iniquities by 
 shewing mercy to the "afflicted ; m20 that it 
 may be || n a lengthening of thy tranquillity. 
 
 28 ^[ All this came upon the king Nebu- 
 chadnezzar. 
 
 29 At the end of twelve months he walk- 
 ed || 21 on the palace of the kingdom of Ba- 
 bylon. 
 
 30 The king "spoke, and said, Is not this 
 
 treat Babylon, which I have built for the 
 ouse of the kingdom by the might of my 
 power, and for the honour of my majesty ? 
 
 31 pWhile the word was in the king'! 
 mouth, there fell «a voice from heaven, say 
 ing, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is 
 spoken; The kingdom is departed from 
 thee : 
 
 32 And 'they shall drive thee from men, 
 and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts 
 of the field : they shall make thee to eat 
 grass ^like oxen, and seven times shall 
 pass over thee, ^that thou mayest know 
 that the Most High ruleth in the kingdom 
 of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he 
 will. 
 
 33 The same hour was the thing fulfilled 
 upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven 
 from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and 
 his body was wet with the dew of heaven, 
 till_ his hairs were grown like eagles' fea- 
 thers, and his nails like birds' claws.

 34 And 'at the end of the days I Nebu- 
 chadnezzar lifted up mine eyes to heaven, 
 and mine understanding returned to me, 
 and I blessed the Most High, and I praised 
 and honoured him 'that liveth for ever, 
 whose dominion is "an everlasting domi- 
 nion, and his kingdom is from generation 
 to generation : 
 
 35 And x all the inhabitants of the earth 
 are reputed as nothing : and s he doeth ac-

 and z24 no one can stay his hand, or say to 
 him, "What doest thou ? 
 
 36 At the same time my reason returned 
 to me : *and for the glory of my kingdom, 
 mine honour and ^splendour returned to 
 me; and my counsellors and my 26 nobles 
 petitioned me; and I was established in 
 my kingdom, and excellent "greatness was 
 'added to me. 
 
 37 Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and 
 extol and honour the King of heaven, ''all 
 whose works are ^sure, and his ways judg- 
 ment : e and those who walk in pride he is 
 able to abase. 
 
 CHAPTER V. 
 
 1 Belshazzar , s impious feast. 5 A handwriting, 
 unknown to the magicians, troubleth the king. 
 10 At the commendation of the queen, Daniel is 
 brought. 17 He, reproving the king of pride and' 
 idolatry, 25 readeth and interpreted the writing. 
 30 The monarchy is translated to the Medes. 
 
 BELSHAZZAR the king "made a great 
 feast to a thousand of his 'nobles, and 
 drank wine before the thousand. 
 
 2 Belshazzar, while he tasted the wine, 
 commanded to bring the golden and silver 
 vessels 'which his ||father Nebuchadnezzar 
 had ttaken out of the temple which was in 
 Jerusalem ; that the king, and his 2 nobles, 
 his wives, and his concubines, might drink 
 'therefrom. 
 
 3 Then they brought the golden vessels 
 "which had been taken out of the temple 
 of the house of God which was at Jerusa- 
 lem ; and the king, and his 6 nobles, his 
 wives, and his concubines, drank 6 from 
 them. 
 
 4 They drank wine, 'and praised the gods 
 of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, 
 of wood, and of stone. 
 
 5 If d In the same hour came forth fingers 
 of a man's hand, and wrote over against 
 the candlestick on the plaster of the wall 
 of the king's palace: and the king saw 
 the 7 palm of the hand which wrote. 
 
 6 Then the king's tcountenance twas 
 changed, and his thoughts troubled him, 
 so that the || t joints of his loins 8 became 
 weak, and his 'knees smote one against 
 another. 
 
 7 'The king cried taloud to bring in g the 
 "enchanters, the 10 astrologers, and the 
 sooth-sayers. And the king spoke and 
 said to the wise men of Babylon,. Who- 
 ever shall read this writing, and shew me 
 the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed 
 with "purple, and have a chain of gold 
 about his neck, *and shall be the third 
 ruler in the kingdom. 
 
 8 Then came in all the king's wise men: 
 '"but they could not read the writing, 12 and 
 make known to the king the interpreta- 
 tion thereof. 
 
 9 Then was king Belshazzar greatly 
 
Daniel is brought in, ttiho 
 
 * troubled, and his t countenance was 
 changed in him, and his "nobles were 
 astonished. 
 
 10 f Now, the queen by reason of the 
 words of the king and his "nobles came 
 into the banquet -house : and the queen 
 spoke and said, 'O king, live for ever : let 
 not thy thoughts trouble thee, nor let thy 
 countenance De changed : 
 
 11 "There is a man in thy kingdom, in 
 whom is the spirit of the holy gods ; and 
 in the days of thy ||father, light and under- 
 standing and wisdom, like the wisdom of 
 the gods, was found in him; whom the 
 king Nebuchadnezzar thy ||father, the 
 king, / say, thy father, made "master of 
 the magicians, l6 enchanters, "astrologers, 
 and sooth-sayers : 
 
 12 ° "Because that an excellent spirit, and 
 knowledge, and understanding, Hinterpret- 
 ing of dreams, and "explanation of hard 
 sentences, and || dissolving of t doubts, 
 were found in the same Daniel, 'whom the 
 king named Belteshazzar : now let Daniel 
 be called, and he will shew the interpre- 
 tation. 
 
 13 Then was Daniel brought in before 
 the king. And the king spoke and said to 
 Daniel, Art thou that Daniel, who art of the 
 children of the captivity of Judah, whom 
 the king my ||father brought 19 from ^Judah ? 
 
 14 I have even heard of thee, that 'the 
 spirit of the gods is in thee, and that light 
 and understanding and excellent wisdom 
 21 are found in thee. 
 
 15 And now the wise men, the K en- 
 chanters, have been brought in before me, 
 that they should read this writing, and 
 make known to me the interpretation 
 thereof: but they could not shew the in- 
 terpretation of the thing : 
 
 16 And I have heard of thee, that thou 
 canst tmake interpretations, and dissolve 
 doubts : 'now if thou canst read the writ- 
 ing, and make known to me the interpre- 
 tation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with 
 "purple, and have a chain of gold "around 
 thy neck, and shalt be the third ruler in 
 the kingdom. 
 
 17 ^ Then Daniel answered and said be- 
 fore the king, Let thy gifts be to thyself, 
 and give thy |]rewards to another; yet I 
 will read the writing to the king, and 
 make known to him the interpretation. 
 
 18 O thou king, 'the most high God gave 
 Nebuchadnezzar thy father a kingdom, 
 and majesty, and glory, and honour : 
 
 19 And for the majesty which he gave 
 him, "all people, nations, and languages, 
 trembled and feared before him: whom 
 he would he slew ; and whom he would 
 he kept alive ; and whom he would he set 
 up ; and whom he would he put down. 
 
 20 x But when his heart was lifted up, 
 and his mind hardened J|in pride, he was 
 t 25 brought down from his kingly throne, 
 and they took his glory from him : 
 
 21 And he was "driven from the sons of 
 men; and ||his heart was made like the 
 beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild 
 asses : they fed him with grass like oxen, 
 and his body was wet with the dew of hea- 
 ven ; 'till he knew that the most high God 
 ruled in the kingdom of men, and that he 
 appointeth over it whomsoever he will. 
 
 22 And thou his son, O Belshazzar, "hast

 and made a proclamation concerning him, 
 "that he should be the third ruler in the 
 kingdom. 
 
 30 If 'In that night was Belshazzar the 
 king of the Chaldeans slain. 
 
 31 'And Darius the Median took the 
 kingdom, t being || about threescore and 
 two years old. 
 
 CHAPTER VI. 
 
 I Daniel is made chief of the presidents. 4 They con- 
 spiring against him obtain an idolatrous decree. 
 10 Daniel, accused of the breach thereof, is cast 
 into the lions' den. 18 Daniel is saved. 24 His 
 adversaries devoured, 25 and God magnified by a 
 decree. 
 
 IT pleased Darius to set "over the king- 
 dom a hundred and twenty princes, 
 who should be over the whole kingdom ; 
 
 2 And over these three presidents; of 
 whom Daniel was first: that the princes 
 might give accounts to them, and the king 
 'might nave no damage. 
 
 3 Then this Daniel was preferred above 
 the presidents and princes, 'because an 
 excellent spirit was in him ; and the king 
 thought to set him over the whole king- 
 dom. 
 
 4 If "Then the presidents and princes 
 sought to find occasion against Daniel 
 concerning the kingdom; but they could 
 find no occasion nor 3 crime; 4 because he 
 was faithful, neither was there any error 
 or 5 crime found 6 against him. 
 
 5 Then said these men, We shall not find 
 any oacasion against this Daniel, except 
 we find it against him concerning the 'law 
 of his God. 
 
 6 Then these presidents and princes ||as- 
 sembled together to the king, and said thus 
 to him, d King Darius, live For ever. 
 
 7 All the presidents of the kingdom, the 
 governors, and the princes, the counsel- 
 lors, and the captains, have consulted to- 
 gether to establish a royal 8 decree, and to 
 make a firm || 9 prohibition, that whoever 
 shall ask a petition 10 from any God or man 
 for thirty days, "except from thee, O king, 
 he shall be cast into the den of lions. 
 
 591 
 
Daniel is cast into the lions' den. 
 
 8 Now, king, establish the "prohibition, 
 and sign the writing, that it be not changed, 
 according to the 'law of the Medes and 
 Persians, which taltereth not. • 
 
 9 Wherefore king Darius signed the 
 writing, 13 even the prohibition. 
 
 10 If Now when Daniel knew that the 
 writing was signed, he went into his 
 house ; and his windows being open in his 
 chamber f to wards Jerusalem, he kneeled 
 on his knees *three times a day, and pray- 
 ed, and gave thanks before his God, as he 
 did 14 formerly. 
 
 11 Then these men assembled, and found 
 Daniel praying and making supplication 
 before his God. 
 
 12 "Then they came near, and spoke be- 
 fore the king concerning the king's decree; 
 Hast thou not signed a ^prohibition, that 
 every man who shall ask a petition 16 from 
 any God or man within thirty days, "ex- 
 cept from thee^O king, shall be cast into 
 the den of lions ? The king answered and 
 said, The thing is 18 certain, 'according to 
 the law of the Medes and Persians, which 
 altereth not. 
 
 13 Then answered they and said before 
 the king, That Daniel, *who is of the child- 
 ren of the captivity of Judah, 'regardeth not 
 thee, king, nor the "prohibition which 
 thou hast signed, but maketh his petition 
 three times a day. 
 
 14 Then the king, when he heard these 
 words, m was 20 greatly displeased with him- 
 self, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver 
 him: and he laboured till the going down 
 of the sun to deliver him. 
 
 15 Then these men assembled to the king, 
 and said to the king, Know, king, that 
 "the law of the Medes and Persians is, 
 That no 21 prohibition nor ^decree which 
 the king establisheth may be changed. 
 
 16 Then the king commanded, and they 
 brought Daniel, and cast him into the den 
 of lions. Now the king spoke and said to 
 Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest con- 
 tinually, he will deliver thee. 
 
 17 "And a stone was brought, and laid 
 upon the mouth of the den ; ? and the king 
 sealed it with his own 23 seal-ring, and 
 with the ^seaWing of his 25 nobles ; that 
 the purpose might not be changed con- 
 cerning Daniel. 
 
 18 1f Then the king went to his palace, 
 and passed the night fasting : neither 26 did 
 he allow his concubines to come before 
 him : 'and his sleep '"fled from him. 
 
 19 Then the king arose very early in the 
 morning, and went in haste to the den of 
 lions. 
 
 20 And when he came to the den, he 
 cried with a lamentable voice to Daniel : 
 and the king spoke and said to Daniel , 
 Daniel, servant of the living God, r is thy 
 God, whom thou servest continually, able 
 to deliver thee from the lions ? 
 
 21 Then said Daniel to the king, "0 king, 
 live for ever. 
 
 22 'My God hath sent his angel, and 
 hath "shut the lions' mouths, that they 
 have not hurt me: 2 ®because before him 
 innocency was found in me ; and also be- 
 fore thee, king, have I done no hurt. 
 
 23 Then was the king exceedingly glad 
 89 concerning him, and commanded that 
 they should take Daniel up out of the den.

 Daniel's vision of the four beasts. 
 
 So Daniel was taken up out of the den, 
 and no manner of hurt was found upon 
 him, "because he believed in his God. 
 
 24 If And the king commanded, "and 
 they brought those men who had accused 
 Daniel, and they cast them into the den 
 of lions, them, 'their children, and their 
 wives ; and the lions had the mastery of 
 them, and broke all their bones in pieces 
 '"before they reached the bottom of the den. 
 
 25 If "Then king Darius wrote to all peo- 
 ple, nations, and languages, who dwell on 
 all the earth ; Peace be multiplied to you. 
 
 26 1 make a decree, That in every do- 
 minion of my kingdom men tremble and 
 fear before the God of Daniel : d for he is 
 the living God, and steadfast for ever, and 
 his kingdom that which shall not be 'de- 
 stroyed, and his dominion shall be even to 
 the end. 
 
 27 He delivereth and rescueth, 'and he 
 worketh signs and wonders in heaven and 
 in earth, who hath delivered Daniel from 
 the tpower of the lions. 
 
 28 31 And this Daniel prospered in the 
 reign of Darius, f and in the reign of ft Cy- 
 rus the Persian. 
 
 CHAPTER VII. 
 
 1 Daniel's vision of four beasts. 9 of God's king- 
 dom. 15 The interpretation thereof. 
 IN the first year of Belshazzar king of 
 Babylon, "Daniel thad a dream and 
 'visions of his head on his bed : then he 
 wrote the dream, and told the sum of the 
 ||matters. 
 
 2 Daniel spoke and said, I saw in my 
 vision by night, and behold, the four winds 
 of the heaven 'rushed upon each other on 
 the great sea. 
 
 3 And four great beasts 'came up from 
 the sea, 2 diflerent one from another. 
 
 4 The first was d like a lion, and had 
 eagle's wings ; I beheld till the wings 
 thereof were plucked 'off,' Hand it was 
 lifted up from the earth, and made 'to' 
 stand on the feet 3 like a man, and a man's 
 heart was given to it. 
 
 5 'And behold another beast, a second, 
 like 4 a bear, and Hit raised up itself 6 on one 
 side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of 
 it between the teeth of it : and they said 
 thus to it, Arise, devour much flesh. 
 
 6 After this, I beheld, and lo, another, 
 like a leopard, which had on the back of it 
 four wings of a fowl ; the beast had also 
 'four heads; and dominion was given 
 to it. 
 
 7 After this I saw in the night visions, 
 and behold s a fourth beast, dreadful and 
 terrible, and exceedingly strong; and it 
 had great iron teeth : it devoured and 
 broke in pieces, and 6 trampled the residue 
 with 7 its feet: and it was "different from 
 all the beasts which were before it; *and 
 it had ten horns. 
 
 8 I considered the horns, and behold, 
 'there came up among them another little 
 horn, before which there were three of the 
 first horns plucked up by the roots : and 
 behold, in this horn were eyes like the 
 eyes "of man, 'and a mouth speaking 9 great 
 things. 
 
 9 If m I beheld till the thrones were 
 '"placed, and "the Ancient of days did sit, 
 "whose garment was white as snow, and 
 the hair of his head like the pure wool ■ 
 
 / 
 
The interpretation of Daniel's vision. 
 
 his throne was like "flames of fire, p and 
 his wheels "like burning fire. 
 
 10 «A fiery "stream "flowed and came 
 forth from before him: 'thousand thou- 
 sands ministered to him, and ten thousand 
 times ten thousand stood before him : 'the 
 judgment ,5 sat,and the books were opened. 
 
 11 I beheld then because of the voice of 
 the great words which the horn spake : 'I 
 beheld even till the beast was slain, and 
 his body destroyed, and given to the burn- 
 ing flame. 
 
 12 As I6 to the rest of the beasts, they had 
 their dominion taken away : yet ttheir 
 lives were prolonged for a season and time. 
 
 13 I saw in the night visions, and behold, 
 u one like "the Son of man came with the 
 clouds of heaven, and came to *the An- 
 cient of days, and they brought him near 
 before him. 
 
 14 "And there was given ' to' him domi- 
 nion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all 
 'people, nations, and languages, should 
 serve him : his dominion is °an everlasting 
 dominion, which shall not pass away, and 
 his kingdom, that which shall not be de- 
 stroyed. 
 
 15 H I Daniel 4 was grieved in my spirit 
 in the midst of my tbody, and the visions 
 of my head troubled me. 
 
 16 I came near to one of those who stood 
 by, and asked him the truth ^concerning 
 all this. So he told me, and made me 
 know the interpretation of the things. 
 
 17 'These great beasts, which are four, 
 are four 19 kings, which shall arise ^from 
 the earth. 
 
 18 But d the 21 saints of the tMost High 
 shall take the kingdom, and possess the 
 kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever. 
 
 19 Then I would know the truth of 'the 
 fourth beast, which was ^different tfrom 
 all the others, exceedingly dreadful, whose 
 teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass ; 
 tvhich devoured, broke in pieces, and 
 "trampled the residue with his feet ; 
 
 20 And ^concerning the ten horns which 
 were on his head, and of the other which 
 came up, and before whom three fell ; 
 even ^concerning that horn which had 
 eyes, and a mouth that spoke very great 
 things, whose look was 26 bolder than his 
 27 companions. 
 
 21 1 28 had seen, %nd the same horn ' had' 
 made war with the saints, and prevailed 
 against them ; 
 
 22 e Until the Ancient of days came, A and 
 judgment was given to the saints of the 
 Most High; and the time came when the 
 saints possessed the kingdom. 
 
 23 Thus he said ; The fourth beast, shall 
 be 'the fourth kingdom on earth, which 
 shall be 29 diflferent from all kingdoms, and 
 shall devour the whole earth, and shall 
 tread it down, and break it in pieces. 
 
 24 *And the ten horns out of this king- 
 dom are ten kings who shall arise: and 
 another shall arise after them ; and he 
 shall be ^different from the first, and he 
 shall subdue three kings. 
 
 25 'And he shall speak great words 
 against the Most High, and shall m31 op 
 press the saints of the Most High, and 
 n32 expect to change times and ^laws : and 
 "they shall be given into his hand *until 
 time and times and the dividing of time.

 IN the third year of the reign of king 
 Belshazzar a vision appeared to me, * 
 me Daniel, after that which appeared to 
 me "at 2 first. 
 
 2 And I saw in a vision ; and it came to 
 pass, when I saw, that I was at 'Shushan 
 in the s palace, which is in the province of 
 Elam ; and I saw in a vision, and 1 was 
 by the river of Ulai. 
 
 3 Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, 
 and behold, there stood before the river a 
 ram which had two horns : and the two 
 horns were high ; but one was higher than 
 tthe other, and the higher came up last. 
 
 4 I saw the ram pushing westward, and 
 northward, and southward; so that no 
 beasts 4 could stand before him, neither 
 was there any that could deliver 5 from his 
 power ; "but he did according to his will, 
 and became great. 
 
 5 And as I was considering, behold, a 
 he-goat came from the west on the face 
 of the whole earth, and ||touched not the 
 ground: and the goat had t d a Conspicuous 
 horn between his eyes. 
 
 6 And he came to the ram that had two 
 horns, which I had seen standing before 
 the river, and ran to him in the fury of his 
 power. 
 
 7 And I saw him come close to the ram ; 
 and he was 'enraged against him, and 
 smote the ram, and broke his two horns : 
 and there was no power in the ram to 
 stand before him, but he cast him down to 
 the ground, and 8 trampled on him: and 
 there was none that could deliver the ram 
 9 from his power. 
 
 8 Therefore, the he-goat "became very 
 great : and when he was strong, the great 
 horn was broken; and for it, came up 'four 
 "conspicuous ones towards the four winds 
 of heaven. 
 
 9 ^And out of one of them came forth a 
 little horn, which 12 became exceedingly 
 great, ^towards the south, and towards the 
 east, and towards the * "beautiful land. 
 
 10 'And it "became great, even [|to "the 
 host of heaven ; and 'it cast down some of 
 the host and of the stars to the ground, 
 and 15 trampled on them. 
 
 11 Yea, m he magnified himself even ||to 
 "the prince of the host, "and |]by him p the 
 daily sacrifice was taken away, and the 
 16 place of his sanctuary was cast down. 
 
 12 And '||a host was given him against 
 the daily sacrifice by reason of transgres- 
 sion, and "he cast down 'the truth to the 
 " -•' r> d : and 18 he 'practised, and prospered. 
 
 593 
 
The vision interpreted. 
 
 13 U Then I heard "one saint speaking, 
 and another saint said to ||tthat certain 
 saint who spoke, How long shall be the 
 vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and 
 the transgression || 19 that maketh desolate, 
 to give both the sanctuary and the host to 
 be trodden under foot? 
 
 14 And he said to me, Until two thou- 
 sand and three hundred tdays ; then shall 
 the sanctuary be tcleansed. 
 
 15 If And it came to pass, when I, even I 
 Daniel, had seen the vision, and "sought 
 for the meaning, then behold, there stood 
 before me ' one' z20 like the appearance of 
 a man. 
 
 16 And I heard a man's voice "between 
 the banks of Ulai, who called, and said, 
 'Gabriel, make this man to understand 
 the vision. 
 
 17 So he came near where I stood : and 
 when he came, I was afraid, and "fell on 
 my face : but he said to me, Understand, 
 
 son of man: for at the time of the end 
 shall be the vision. 
 
 18 *Now as he was speaking with me, I 
 was in a deep sleep on my face towards 
 the ground : 'but he touched me, and tset 
 me upright. 
 
 19 And he said, Behold, I will make thee 
 know what shall be in the last end of the 
 indignation : 'for at the time appointed the 
 end shall be. 
 
 < 20 «The ram which thou 21 hast seen hav- 
 ing two horns are the kings of Media and 
 Persia. 
 
 21 *And the 22 hairy goat is the king of 
 ^Greece : and the great horn which is be- 
 tween his eves Hs the first king. 
 
 22 *Nqw that being broken, whereas four 
 24 arose in its stead, four kingdoms shall 
 25 arise out of the nation, but not in his 
 power. 
 
 23 And in the latter time of their king- 
 dom, when the transgressors t 26 shall have 
 fulfilled their sins, a king m of 27 shameless 
 countenance, and understanding dark sen- 
 tences, "shall ^arise. 
 
 24 And his power shall be mighty, "but 
 not by his own power : and he shall de- 
 stroy wonderfully, p and shall prosper, and 
 practise, 'and shall destroy the mighty and 
 the tholy people. 
 
 25 And r through his S9 cunning also he 
 shall cause craft to prosper 30 by his hand ;' 
 'and he shall magnify himself in his heart, 
 and 31 through security shall destroy many: 
 "he shall also 32 arise against the Prince of 
 princes; but he shall be 'broken without 
 hand. 
 
 26 "And the vision of the '"evening and the 
 morning which was told is true : there- 
 fore ^shut thou up the vision ; for it shall 
 be for many days. 
 
 27 "And 1 Daniel fainted, and was sick 
 certain days ; afterward I M arose, 'and did 
 the king's business ; and I was astonished 
 at the vision, 'but none understood it.

 BaniePs confession and prayer, 
 
 2 In the first year of his reign I Daniel 
 understood by books the number of the 
 years, Concerning which the word of Je- 
 hovah came to 'Jeremiah the prophet, that 
 he would accomplish seventy years in the 
 desolations of Jerusalem. 
 
 3 «U 'And I set my face to the 4 Lord God, 
 to seek by prayer and supplications, with 
 fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes : 
 
 4 And I prayed to Jehovah my God, and 
 Confessed, and said, O d6 Lord, the great 
 and dreadful God, keeping the covenant 
 and 'kindness to those who love him, and 
 to those who keep his commandments ; 
 
 5 'We have sinned, and have committed 
 iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have 
 rebelled, even by departing from thy pre- 
 cepts and from thy judgments : 
 
 6 'Neither have we hearkened to thy 
 servants the prophets, who spoke in thy 
 name to our kings, our princes, and our 
 fathers, and to all the people of the land. 
 
 7 O 8 Lord, ^righteousness \\belongeth to 
 thee, but to us 9 shame of face, as at this 
 day; to the men of Judah, and to the in- 
 habitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, 
 toho are near, and who are far off, through 
 all the countries whither thou hast driven 
 them, because of their trespass that they 
 have trespassed against thee. 
 
 8 O "Lord, to us belongeth h "shame of 
 face, to our kings, to our princes, and to 
 our fathers, because we have sinned against 
 thee. 
 
 9 'To the 12 Lord our God belong mer- 
 cies and forgivenesses, though we have 
 rebelled against him ; 
 
 10 'Neither have we obeyed the voice of 
 Jehovah our God, to walk in his laws, 
 which he set before us by his servants the 
 prophets. 
 
 11 Yea, 'all Israel have transgressed thy 
 law, even by departing, that they might 
 not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is 
 poured upon us, and the oath which is 
 written in the m law of Moses the servant 
 of God, because we have sinned against 
 him. 
 
 12 And he hath "confirmed his words, 
 which he spoke against us, and against our 
 judges who judged us, by bringing on us 
 a great evil : "for under the whole heaven 
 hath not been done as hath been done ,3 to 
 Jerusalem. 
 
 13 p As U is written in the law of Moses, 
 all this evil M hath come on us: 'yet t 15 we 
 entreated not Jehovah our God, that we 
 might turn from our iniquities, and under- 
 stand thy truth. 
 
 14 Therefore hath Jehovah 'watched 
 16 over the evil, and brought it upon us: 'for 
 Jehovah our God is righteous in all his 
 works which he doeth: 'for we obeyed not 
 his voice. 
 
 15 And now, O "Lord our God, "who 
 hast brought thy people forth ,8 from the 
 land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and 
 hast tgotten thyself *renown, as at this 
 day; "we have sinned, we have done wick- 
 edly. 
 
 16 «[ 19 Lord, 'according to all thy 20 com- 
 passion, I beseech thee, let thine anger and 
 thy fury be turned away from thy city Je- 
 rusalem, "thy holy mountain : because for 
 our sins, 'and for the iniquities of our fa- 
 thers, 'Jerusalem and thy people dU have 
 
The seventy weeks foretold. 
 
 become a reproach to all who are 2z around 
 us. 
 
 17 Now therefore, O our God, hear the 
 prayer of thy servant, and his supplica- 
 tions, 'and cause thy face to shine on thy 
 sanctuary -that is desolate, ff for the ^Lord's 
 sake. 
 
 18 *0 my God, incline thine ear, and 
 hear; open thine eyes, *and behold our 
 desolations, and the city Hwhich is called 
 by thy name : for we do not tpresent our 
 supplications before thee for our righteous- 
 nesses, but for thy great mercies. 
 
 19 O 24 Lord, hear; O 24 Lord, forgive; O 
 "Lord, hearken and do; defer not, 'for 
 thine own sake, O my God : for thy city 
 and thy people are called by thy name. 
 
 20 JIf "And while I was speaking, and 
 praying, and confessing my sin, and the 
 sin of my people Israel, and presenting 
 my supplication before Jehovah my God 
 for the holy mountain of my God ; 
 
 21 ^Even while I was speaking in prayer, 
 even the man "Gabriel, whom I had seen 
 in the vision at the beginning, being caused 
 to fly tswiftly, "touched me p about the time 
 of the evening 26 offering. 
 
 22 And he informed me, and talked with 
 me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come 
 forth tto "instruct thee in understanding. 
 
 23 At the beginning of thy supplications 
 the tcommandment came forth, and q l am 
 come to shew thee; r for thou art tgreatly 
 beloved : therefore 'understand the matter, 
 and consider the vision. 
 
 24 ^Seventy weeks are determined on thy 
 people and on thy holy city, ||to finish the 
 transgression, and ||to make an end of sins, 
 'and to make reconciliation for iniquity, 
 "and to bring in everlasting 28 righteousness, 
 and to 29 complete the vision and tprophecy, 
 x and to anoint the Most Holy. 
 
 25 y Know therefore and understand, that 
 'from the going forth of the commandment 
 ||to restore and to build Jerusalem to "the 
 D0 Messiah 'the Prince 31 will be seven weeks, 
 and threescore and two weeks : the 32 street 
 tshall be built again, and the M wal!, c even 
 tin troublous times. 
 
 26 And after threescore and two weeks 
 d shall Messiah be cut off, "||but not for 
 himself: ||and 'the people of the prince 
 who shall M come f shall destroy the city 
 ''and the sanctuary ; 'and the end thereof 
 shall be *with a flood, and to the end of 
 the war Udesolations are 35 decreed. 
 
 27 And he shall 36 make ! a firm covenant 
 with m many for one. week; and in the 
 midst of the week he shall cause the sa- 
 crifice and the 3T meal -offering to cease, 
 Hand for the overspreading of "abomina- 
 tions, he shall make it desolate, "even 
 until the consummation, and that 38 which 
 is decreed shall have been poured ||upon 
 the desolate.

 Daniel seeth a glorious vision 
 
 "whose name was called Belteshazzar ; 
 'and the thing was true, c but the 'time ap- 
 pointed was flong : and *he understood the 
 thing, and had understanding of the vision. 
 
 2 In those days I Daniel was mourning 
 three 2 weeks. 
 
 3 1 ate no tpleasant 3 food, neither came 
 flesh nor wine into my mouth, 'neither did 
 I anoint myself at all, till three whole 
 weeks were fulfilled. 
 
 4 And in the four and twentieth day of 
 the first month, as I was by the side of the 
 great river, which is 'Hidaekel ; 
 
 5 Then ff I lifted up mine eyes, and look- 
 ed, and ''behold ta 4 man clothed in linen, 
 whose loins were 'girded with "precious 
 gold of Uphaz : 
 
 6 His body also was Mike the 6 beryl, and 
 his face m7 like the appearance of lightning, 
 "and his eyes 8 like lamps of fire, and his 
 arms "and his feet like in colour to polish- 
 ed brass, "and the voice of his words like 
 the voice of a multitude. 
 
 7 And I Daniel «alone saw the vision: 
 for the men who were with me saw not 
 the vision; but a great 9 trembling fell 
 upon them, so that they fled to hide them- 
 selves. 
 
 8 Therefore I was left alone, and saw 
 this great vision, r and there remained no 
 strength in me: for my || 'comeliness was 
 turned on me into corruption, and I re- 
 tained no strength. 
 
 9 Yet heard I the voice of his words : 
 'and when I heard the voice of his words, 
 then was I in a deep sleep on my face, and 
 my face towards the ground. 
 
 10 If "And behold, a hand touched me, 
 which tset me on my knees and on the 
 palms of my hands, 
 
 11 And he said to me, O Daniel, x ta man 
 greatly beloved, understand the words 
 which I speak to thee, and tstand upright : 
 for to thee am I now sent. And when he 
 had spoken this word to me, I stood trem- 
 
 12 Then said he to me, "Fear not, Daniel : 
 for from the first day l0 when thou didst 
 "set thy heart to understand, and to chas- 
 ten thyself before thy God, z thy words 
 were heard, and I am come for thy words. 
 
 13 "But the prince of the kingdom of Per- 
 sia 12 withstood me one and twenty days : 
 but lo, 'Michael, |]one of the chief princes, 
 came to help me; and I remained there 
 with the kings of Persia. 
 
 14 Now I am come to make thee under- 
 stand what shall befall thy people 'in the 
 latter days : d for yet the vision is for many 
 days. 
 
 15 And when he had spoken such words 
 to me, e I set my face towards the ground, 
 and I became dumb. 
 
 16 And behold, f one like the similitude 
 of the sons of men ^touched my lips: then 
 I opened my mouth, and spoke, and said to 
 him who stood before me, O my lord, by 
 the vision *my 13 sorrows are turned upon 
 me, and I have retained no strength. 
 
 17 For how can ||the servant of this my 
 lord talk with this my lord ? for as "to me, 
 "immediately there remained no strength 
 in me, neither is there breath left in me. 
 
 18 Then there came again and touched 
 me one like the appearance of a man, and 
 he strengthened me,

 CHAPTER XL 
 
 1 The overthrow of Persia by the king of Greece. 
 5 Leagues and conflicts between the kings of the 
 south and of the north. 30 The invasion and 
 tyranny of the Romans. 
 
 ALSO I, a in the first year of 'Darius the 
 Mede, even I, stood to confirm and to 
 strengthen him. 
 
 2 And now will I shew thee the truth. 
 Behold, there 'will yet arise three kings 
 in Persia; and the fourth 2 will be far 
 richer than they all : and 'according to his 
 strength through his riches, he shall stir 
 up all against the realm of 4 Greece. 
 
 3 And c a mighty king shall stand up, who 
 shall rule with great dominion, and d do 
 according to his will. 
 
 4 And when he shall 5 arise, e his kingdom 
 shall be broken, and shall be divided to- 
 wards the four winds of heaven ; 6 but not 
 to his posterity, ^nor according to his do- 
 minion which he ruled : for his kingdom 
 shall be plucked up, even for others be- 
 sides those. 
 
 5 If And the king of the south shall be 
 strong, 7 and one of his princes ; and he 
 shall be strong above him, and have do- 
 minion ; his dominion shall be a great do- 
 minion. 
 
 6 And s after some years they tshall join 
 themselves together; for the king's daugh- 
 ter of the south shall come to the king of 
 the north to make 9 peace: but she shall 
 not retain the power of the arm ; neither 
 shall he stand, nor his arm : but she shall 
 be given up, and those who brought her, 
 and || he who begot her, and he who 
 strengthened her in these times. 
 
 7 But out of a branch of her roots shall 
 one stand up ||in his '"stead, who shall 
 come "with an army, and shall enter into 
 the fortress of the king of the north, and 
 shall deal against them, and shall prevail: 
 
 8 And shall also carry captives into Egypt 
 their gods, with their 12 molten images, and 
 with Ttheir precious vessels of silver and 
 of gold ; and he shall continue more years 
 than the king of the north. 
 
 9 ,3 Thus the king of the south shall come 
 into his kingdom, and shall return into his 
 own'land. 
 
 10 But his sons shall M make war, and 
 shall assemble a multitude of great forces:

 ,5 again make war, "even to his fortress.

 kings of the south and north. 
 
 but the multitude shall be given into his 
 hand. 
 
 12 And when he hath taken away the 
 multitude, his heart shall be lifted up; 
 and he shall cast down many ten thou- 
 sands: but he shall not be strengthened 
 by it. 
 
 13 For the king of the north shall "again 
 set forth a multitude greater than the for- 
 mer, and shall certainly come tafter cer- 
 tain years with a great army and with 
 much riches. 
 
 14 And in those times there shall many 
 stand up against the king of the south: 
 also the "oppressors of thy people shall 
 exalt themselves to establish the vision; 
 but they shall 19 fail. 
 
 15 20 And the king of the north shall come, 
 and cast up a mount, and take the "forti- 
 fied cities : and the arms of the south shall 
 not withstand, neither this chosen people, 
 neither shall there be any strength to with- 
 stand 
 
 16 But he who cometh M against him 'shall 
 do according to his own will, and * Z3 no one 
 shall stand before him: and he shall stand 
 in the ||t 24 beautiful land, which by his hand 
 shall be consumed. 
 
 17 He shall also 'set his face to enter 
 with the strength of his whole kingdom, 
 and ||upright ones with him ; thus shall he 
 do : and he shall give him the daughter of 
 women, tcorrupting her : but she shall not 
 stand on his side, ""neither be for him. 
 
 18 After this shall he turn his face to the 
 ^isles, and shall take many: but a 26 leader 
 tfor his own behalf shall cause tthe reproach 
 offered by him to cease ; without his own 
 reproach he shall cause it to turn upon him. 
 
 19 Then he shall turn his face towards 
 the "fortress of his own land : but he shall 
 stumble and fall, "and not be found. 
 
 20 Then shall stand up ||in his ^stead tan 
 exactor of tribute in the glory of the king- 
 dom: but within few days he shall be de- 
 stroyed, neither in tanger, nor in battle. 
 
 21 And ||in his 29 stead "shall stand up a 
 30 despised person, to whom they shall not 
 give the honour of the kingdom : but he 
 shall come in peaceably, and obtain the 
 kingdom by flatteries. 
 
 22 p And with the arms of a flood shall 
 they be overflowed from before him, and 
 shall be broken ; 'yea, also the prince of 
 the covenant. 
 
 23 And after the league made with him 
 'he shall work deceitfully: for he shall 
 come up, and shall become strong with a 
 small people. 
 
 24 He shall enter "the quiet and fertile 
 places of the province; and he shall do 
 that which his fathers have not done, nor 
 his fathers' fathers ; he shall scatter among 
 them the prey, and spoil, and riches : yea, 
 and he shall 32 contrive his devices against 
 the ^fortresses, even for a time. 
 
 25 And he shall 34 rouse up his power and 
 his courage against the king of the south 
 with a great army; and the king of the 
 south shall 35 prepare war for battle with a 
 very great and mighty army; but he shall 
 not stand : for they shall 36 contrive devices 
 against him. 
 
 26 37 Even those who eat his food shall 
 destroy him, and his army shall 'overflow: 
 and many shall fall down slain. 
 
An impious tyranny set up. 
 
 27 And both these kings' thearts shall be 
 to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at 
 one table; but it shall not prosper: for 
 "yet the end shall be at the time appointed. 
 
 28 Then shall he return into his land 
 with great riches ; and "his heart shall be 
 against the holy covenant; and he shall 
 do exploits, and return to Ids own land. 
 
 29 At the time appointed he shall ^again 
 come towards the south ; 'but it shall not 
 be w like the former, "or 40 like the latter. 
 
 30 If 'For the ships of Chittim shall come 
 against him : therefore he shall be *'faint- 
 hearted, and return, and tf be angry 'against 
 the holy covenant : ^thus shall he do ; he 
 shall even return, and have intelligence 
 with those who forsake the holy cove- 
 nant. 
 
 31 And arms shall stand on his part, 'and 
 they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, 
 and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and 
 they shall place the abomination that [|mak- 
 eth desolate. 
 
 32 And such as do wickedly against the 
 covenant shall he Ucorrupt by flatteries : 
 but the people who do know their God 
 shall be strong, and do exploits. 
 
 33 'And those who understand among the 
 people shall instruct many: 'yet they shall 
 **fail by the sword, and by flame, by cap- 
 tivity, and by spoil, ^some days. 
 
 34 Now when they shall ^fail, they shall 
 be 47 helped with a little help: but many 
 shall cleave to them with flatteries. 
 
 35 And some of those of understanding 
 shall 48 fail, "to ^purify ||them, and to 
 ^cleanse, and to make them white, "even 
 to the time of the end: 'because it is yet 
 for a time appointed. 
 
 36 And the king 'shall do according to 
 his will ; and he shall r exalt himself, and 
 magnify himself above every god, and shall 
 speak 5l wonderful things 'against the God 
 of gods, and shall prosper 'till the indig- 
 nation be accomplished: for that which is 
 52 decreed shall be done. 
 
 37 Neither shall he regard the M gods of 
 his fathers, "nor the desire of women, *nor 
 regard any god : for he shall magnify him- 
 seff above all. 
 
 38 But tin his M stead shall he honour the 
 god of Htforces: and a god whom his fa- 
 thers knew not shall he honour with gold, 
 and silver, and with precious stones, and 
 tpleasant things. 
 
 39 Thus shall he do in the t^for tresses 
 with a strange god, whom he shall acknow- 
 ledge and increase with glory : and he shall 
 cause them to rule over many, and shall 
 divide the land for tgain. 
 
 40 »And at the time of the end shall the 
 king of the south push at him : and the 
 king of the north shall come against him 
 'like a ^tempest, with chariots, "and with 
 horsemen, and with many ships; and he 
 shall enter into the countries, 'and shall 
 overflow and pass over. 
 
 41 He shall enter also into the t 57 beauti- 
 ful land, and many countries shall be over- 
 thrown : but these shall escape out of his 
 hand, c even Edom, and Moab, and the 
 chief of the children of Ammon. 
 
 42 He shall tstretch forth his hand also 
 upon the countries : and the land of Egypt 
 snail not escape. 
 
 43 But he shall have power over the trea-

 CHAPTER XII. 
 
 1 Michael shall deliver Israel from their troubles. 
 5 Daniel is informed of the times. 
 
 AND at that time shall "Michael stand 
 up, the great prince who standeth 'up' 
 for the children of thy people : 'and there 
 shall be a time of trouble, such as never 
 was since there was a nation even to that 
 same time: and at that time thy people 
 'shall be delivered, every one who shall be 
 found ''written in the book. 
 
 2 And many of those who sleep in the 
 dust of the earth shall awake, 'some to 
 everlasting life, and some to shame f and 
 everlasting "abhorrence. 
 
 3 And J those who are ||wise, shall *shine 
 2 like the brightness of the firmament; 'and 
 those who turn many to righteousness, 
 l3 like the stars for ever and ever. 
 
 4 'But thou, O Daniel, m4 shut up the 
 words, and seal the book, even to "the 
 time of the end : many shall 5 run to and 
 fro, and knowledge shall be increased. 
 
 5 *fl Then I Daniel looked, and behold, 
 there stood two others, the one on this 
 side of the tbank of the river, and the 
 other on that side of the bank "of the 
 river. 
 
 6 And one said to the man clothed in 
 linen, who was 6 over the waters of the 
 river, 'How long shall it be to the end of 
 these wonders ? 
 
 7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, 
 who was 7 over the waters of the river, 
 when he 'held up his right hand and his 
 left hand to heaven, and swore by him 
 'who liveth for ever, 'that it should be for 
 a time, times, and ||a half; "and when he 
 shall have accomplished to scatter the 
 power of *the holy people, all these things 
 shall be finished. 
 
 8 And I heard, but I understood not: 
 then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the 
 end of these things? 
 
 9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel : for 
 the words are s shut up and sealed "till the 
 time of the end. 
 
 10 2 Many shall be 'cleansed, and made 
 white, and '"purified ; "but the wicked 
 "will do wickedly: and none of the wick- 
 ed shall understand; but 'the wnse shall 
 understand. 
 
 11 And from the time ty3 when the daily 
 sacrifice shall be taken away, and tthe 
 abomination that ||maketh desolate set up, 
 there shall be a thousand two hundred and 
 ninety days. 
 
 12 "Happy is he who waiteth, and ,4 at- 
 taineth to the thousand three hundred and 
 five and thirty days. 
 
 13 But ''go thou thy way till the end be :

 Judah and Israel. 
 
 THE word of Jehovah which came to 
 Hosea, the son of Beeri, in the days 
 of Uzziah, Jothatn, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, 
 kings of Judah, and in the days of Jerobo- 
 am the son of Joash king of Israel. 
 
 2 The beginning of the word of Jehovah 
 by Hosea. 2 Now Jehovah said to Hosea, 
 "Go, take to thyself a wife of lewdness 
 and children of lewdness ; for 'the land 
 hath committed great lewdness, 'by' de- 
 parting from Jehovah. 
 
 3 So he went and took Gomer the daugh- 
 ter of Diblaim ; who conceived, and bore 
 him a son. 
 
 4 And Jehovah said to him, Call his 
 name Jezreel ; for yet a little while, 'and 
 I will tavenge the blood of Jezreel on the 
 house of Jehu, d and will cause the kingdom 
 of the house of Israel to cease. 
 
 5 'And it shall come to pass at that day, 
 that I will break the bow of Israel in the 
 valley of Jezreel. 
 
 6 1f And she conceived again, and bore a 
 daughter. And God said to him, Call her 
 name ||Lo-ruhamah : 'for tl will no more 
 have mercy upon the house of Israel ; ||but 
 I will utterly take them away. 
 
 7 s But I will have mercy on the house of 
 Judah, and will save them by Jehovah 
 their God, and ft will not save them by 
 bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by 
 horses, nor by horsemen. 
 
 8 U Now when she had weaned Lo-ruha- 
 mah, she conceived, and bore a son. 
 
 9 Then said God, Call his name || Lo- 
 ammi: for ye are not my people, and I 
 will not be your God. 
 
 10 % Yet 'the number of the children of 
 Israel shall be 'like the sand of the sea, 
 which cannot be measured nor numbered ; 
 *and it shall come to pass, that [|in the 
 place where it was said to them, ' Ye are 
 not my people, there it shall be said to 
 them, Ye are m the sons of the living God. 
 
 11 "Then shall the children of Judah and 
 the children of Israel be gathered together, I 
 and appoint themselves one 8 chief, and they 
 shall come up 9 from the land: for great 
 shall be the day of Jezreel.

 5 *For their mother hath played the har- 
 lot: she who conceived them hath done 
 shamefully: for she said, I will go after 
 my lovers, "who give me my bread and my 
 water, my wool and my flax, mine oil ana 
 my tdrink. 
 
 6 If Therefore, behold, *I will hedge up 
 thy way with thorns, and tmake a wall, 
 'so' that she shall not find her paths. 
 
 7 And she shall follow after her lovers, 
 but she shall not overtake them ; and she 
 shall seek them, but shall not find them : 
 then shall she say, 'I will go 8 back to my 
 "first husband; for then was it better with 
 me than now. 
 
 8 For she did not ""consider that "I gave 
 her corn, and 'new' wine, and 'fresh' oil, 
 and multiplied her silver and gold, \\which 
 they '"wrought for Baal. 
 
 9 Therefore, will I " take I2 back my corn 
 in the time thereof, and my ' new' wine in 
 the season thereof, and will 13 take away 
 my wool and my flax given to cover her 
 nakedness. 
 
 10 And now 'will I "expose her ^shame- 
 ful deed in the sight of her lovers, and 16 no 
 one shall deliver her "from my hand. 
 
 11 r I will also cause all her I8 joy to cease, 
 her 'feast days, her new-moons, and her 
 sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts. 
 
 12 And I will tdestroy her vines and her 
 fig-trees, 'whereof she hath said, These are 
 my 19 gifts which my lovers have given me : 
 and "I will make them a forest, and the 
 beasts of the field shall eat them. 
 
 13 And I will visit on her the days of 
 Baalim, wherein she burned incense to 
 them, and she 'decked herself with her 
 ear-rings and her jewels, and she went 
 after her lovers, and forgot me, saith Je- 
 hovah. 
 
 14 If Therefore, behold, I will allure her, 
 and "bring her into the 20 desert, and speak 
 
 tcomfortably to her. 
 
 15 And I wdl give her her vineyards from 
 thence, and *the valley of Achor for a 21 gate 
 of hope : and she shall sing there, as in "the 
 days of her youth, and *as in the day when 
 she came up 22 from the land of Egypt. 
 
 16 And it shall be in that day, saith Je- 
 hovah, that thou shalt call me 23 My hus- 
 band; and shalt call me no more ||Baali. 
 
 17 For 'I will take away the names of 
 Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall 
 no more be ^mentioned by their name. 
 
 18 And in that day will I make a ''cove- 
 nant for them with the beasts of the field, 
 and with the fowls of heaven, and with 
 the creeping things of the ground : and 'I 
 will break the bow and the sword and the 
 battle out of the ^land, and will make them 
 to -'lie down safely. 
 
 19 And I will betroth thee to myself for 
 ever; yea, I will betroth thee to myself 
 in righteousness, and in judgment, and in 
 26 kindness, and in mercies. 
 
 20 I will even betroth thee to myself in 
 faithfulness : and *thou shalt know Jeho- 
 vah. 
 
 21 And it shall come to pass in that day, 
 A I will hear, saith Jehovah, I will hear the 
 heavens, and they shall hear the earth ; 
 
God's judgments against the sins CHAPTERS III. IV. V. of the people, priests, and princes. 
 
 22 And the earth shall hear the. corn, and 
 the 'new' wine, and the 'fresh' oil; 'and 
 they shall hear Jezreel. 
 
 23 And *I will sow her ''for myself in the 
 ^land ; 'and I will have mercy on her who 
 had not obtained mercy ; ana I m will say 
 to those who were not my people, Thou 
 art my people ; and they shall say, Thou 
 art my God. 
 
 CHAPTER III. 
 
 1 By the expiation of an adulteress, 4 is skewed the 
 desolation of Israel before their restoration. 
 
 THEN said Jehovah to me, "Go 'again, 
 love a woman beloved by her 'friend, 
 yet an adulteress, according to the love of 
 Jehovah towards the children of Israel, 
 who look to other gods, and love Raisin- 
 cakes. 
 
 2 So I bought her 3 for myself with fifteen 
 *shekels of sdver, and s with a homer 6 and 
 a thalf 7 of barley: 
 
 3 And I said to her, Thou shalt 'abide 
 for me many days; thou shalt not play the 
 harlot, and thou shalt not be for another 
 man : so will I also be for thee. 
 
 4 For the children of Israel shall abide 
 many days ''without a king, and without a 
 prince, and without a sacrifice, and with- 
 out tan image, and without an 'ephod, and 
 without -teraphim : 
 
 5 Afterwards shall the children of Israel 
 return, and ? seek Jehovah their God, and 
 "David their king; and shall 8 reverence 
 Jehovah and his goodness in the 'latter 
 days. 
 
 CHAPTER IV. 
 
 1 God's judgments against the sins of the people, 
 6 and of the priests, 12 and against their idolatry. 
 15 Judah is exhorted to take warning by Israel's 
 calapdty. 
 
 HEAR the word of Jehovah, ye child- 
 ren of Israel: for Jehovah hath a 
 "controversy with the inhabitants of the 
 land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, 
 nor 'knowledge of God in the land. 
 
 2 'Cursing, and lying, and killing, and 
 stealing, and committing adultery, 2 break 
 3 forth, and tblood toucheth blood. 
 
 3 Therefore, 'shall the land mourn, and 
 ''every one who dwelleth therein shall lan- 
 guish, with the beasts of the field, and with 
 the fowls of heaven ; yea, the fishes of the 
 sea also shall be taken away. 
 
 4 Yet let Ho man strive, nor reprove an- 
 other : for thy people are 4 like those 'who 
 strive with the priest. 
 
 5 Therefore, shalt thou fall 'in the day, 
 and the prophet also shall fall with thee in 
 the night, and I will tdestroy thy mother. 
 
 6 If ff My people are tdestroved for lack 
 of knowledge : because thou hast rejected 
 knowledge, I will also reject thee, 'so' that 
 thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou 
 hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will 
 also forget thy children. 
 
 7 *As they were increased, so they sin- 
 ned against me: 'therefore will I change 
 their glory into shame. 
 
 8 They eat up the sin of my people, and 
 they tset their heart on their iniquity. 
 
 9 And 5 it shall be, * 6 as with the people, 
 7 so with the priest: and I will t punish 
 them for their ways, and t reward them 
 ' for' their doings. 
 
 10 For 'they shall eat, and not 8 be satis- 
 fied : they shall commit 9 lewdness, and

 shall not increase: because they have

 11 "Lewdness and wine and new wine 
 m take away the ^understanding. 
 
 12 If My people ask counsel "from their 
 nI4 blocks, and their staff declareth to 
 them: for "the spirit of 15 lewdness hath 
 caused them to err, and they have gone 
 16 lewdly from under their God. 
 
 13 PThey sacrifice on the tops of the 
 mountains, and burn incense on the hills, 
 under oaks and "almond-trees and 18 tur- 
 pentine-trees, because the shadow thereof 
 is good: 'therefore your daughters shall 
 19 play the harlot, and your spouses shall 
 commit adultery. 
 
 14 ||I will not punish your daughters 
 when they 20 play the harlot, nor your 
 spouses when they commit adultery; for 
 'they' themselves are separated with 
 21 lewd women, and they sacrifice with 
 harlots: therefore the people that "doth 
 not understand shall ||fall. 
 
 15 If Though thou, Israel, play the har- 
 lot, yet let not Judah offend ; 'and come 
 ye not to Gilgal, neither go ye up to 'Beth- 
 aven, "nor swear, 'As' Jehovah liveth. 
 
 16 For Israel l22 draweth back flike a 
 stubborn heifer: now Jehovah will feed 
 them '"like a lamb in a large place. 
 
 V Ephraim is joined to idols : *let him 
 alone.

 committed 26 lewdness continually: *her 
 trulers with shame do love, Give ye. 
 
 19 "The wind hath '"seized her with its 
 wings, and 'they shall be ashamed 28 on ac- 
 count of their sacrifices. 
 
 CHAPTER V. 
 
 1 God's judgments against the priests, the people, 
 and the princes of Israel, for their manifold sins, 
 15 until they repent. 
 
 HEAR ye this, O priests; and hearken, 
 ye house of Israel ; and give ye ear, 
 
 house of the king; for judgment is to- 
 wards you, because "ye have been a snare 
 on Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor. 
 
 2 'By sacrifice they transgress deeply, 
 and I will bring chastisement on them all. 
 
 3 'I know Ephraim, and Israel is not 
 hidden from me: for now, O Ephraim, 
 ''thou 2 playest the harlot, and Israel is 
 defiled. 
 
 4 t||They will not "endeavour to turn to 
 their God : for 'the spirit of 4 lewdness is 
 in the midst of them, and they have not 
 Regarded Jehovah. 
 
 5 And the pride of Israel doth testify to 
 his face: therefore shall Israel and Ephraim 
 fall in their iniquity; Judah also shall fall 
 with them. 
 
 6 s They shall go with their flocks and 
 with their herds to seek Jehovah; but 
 they shall not find him; he hath with- 
 drawn himself from them. 
 
 7 They have 'dealt treacherously against 
 Jehovah : for they have begotten strange 
 children: now shall i6 the new -moon de- 
 vour them with their portions. 
 
 8 *Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah, and the 
 trumpet in Ramah : 'cry aloud at "Beth- 
 aven, n7 behind thee, O Benjamin. 
 
 9 Ephraim shall be desolate in the day 
 of rebuke : among the tribes of Israel have 
 
 1 made known that which shall surely be. 
 
 10 The princes of Judah were like those 
 
 599 
 
Jin exhortation to repentance. 
 
 who "remove the 8 land-mark: therefore I 
 will pour out my wrath upon them like 
 water. 
 
 11 Ephraim is 'oppressed and broken 9 by 
 judgment, because he willingly walked 
 after « 10 a commandment. 
 
 12 Therefore will I be to Ephraim "like 
 a moth, and to the house of Judah 12 like 
 Urottenness. 
 
 13 When Ephraim saw his sickness, and 
 Judah saw his 'wound, then went Ephraim 
 'to the Assyrian, "and sent ||to king Jareb: 
 yet could he not heal you, nor cure you of 
 your wound. 
 
 14 For *I will be to Ephraim 13 like a lion, 
 and "like a young lion to the house of Ju- 
 dah : y I, even I, will tear and go away ; I 
 Avill take away, and none shall rescue him. 
 
 15 % I will go 15 back to my place, ttill 
 r they 16 suft"er for their offence, and seek 
 my face : "in their affliction they will seek 
 me early. 
 
 CHAPTER VI. 
 
 1 An exhortation to repentance. 4 A complaint of 
 their untowardness and iniquity. 
 
 COME, and let us return to Jehovah: 
 for "he hath torn, and *he will heal us; 
 he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. 
 
 2 'After two days will he revive us: on 
 the third day he will raise us up, and we 
 shall live in his 'presence. 
 
 3 ''Then shall we know, if we follow on 
 to know Jehovah : his going forth is pre- 
 pared ' 2 like the morning; and ^he 3 will 
 come to us f4 like the shower, like the lat- 
 ter and former rain to the earth. 
 
 4 If A Ephraim, what shall I do to thee ? 
 
 Judah, what shall I do to thee? for your 
 Hgoodness is i5 like a morning cloud, and 
 6 hke the early dew it goeth away. 
 
 5 Therefore have I hewed them *by the 
 prophets ; I have slain them by 'the words 
 of my mouth : ||and thy judgments are ''like 
 the light which goeth forth. 
 
 6 For I desired m mercy 8 rather "than sa- 
 crifice : and the "knowledge of God more 
 than burnt-offerings. 
 
 7 But they ||like men r have transgressed 
 the covenant : there 'have they dealt trea- 
 cherously against me. 
 
 8 r Gilead is a city of those who work ini- 
 quity, and Viath footsteps of blood. 
 
 9 And as troops of robbers ' lie in' wait 
 for a man, so 'the company of priests mur- 
 der in the way I0 to Shechem : for they com- 
 mit "crimes. 
 
 10 I have seen 'a horrible thing in the 
 house of Israel : there is " the "lewdness 
 of Ephraim, Israel is defiled. 
 
 11 Also, O Judah, x he hath set a harvest 
 for -thee, y when I returned the captivity of 
 my people. 
 
 CHAPTER VII. 
 
 1 A reproof of manifold sins. 1 1 God's wrath against 
 
 them for their hypocrisy. 
 
 WHEN I would have healed Israel, 
 then the iniquity of Ephraim was 
 'revealed, and the twickedness of Sama- 
 ria: for "they commit falsehood: and the 
 thief cometli in, and the troop of robbers 
 tspoileth without. 
 
 2 And they tconsider not in their hearts, 
 that I 'remember all their wickedness: 
 now 'their own doings have beset them 
 2 around ; they are ''before my face.

 Israel reproved for manifold sins 
 
 3 They make the king glad with their 
 wickedness, and the princes "with their 
 lies. 
 
 4 'They are all adulterers, 3 like an oven 
 heated by the baker, \\who ceaseth || 4 to 
 rouse it up after he hath kneaded the 
 dough, until it be leavened. 
 
 5 In the day of our king the princes have 
 made him sick with 6 the heat of wine ; he 
 stretched out his hand with scorners. 
 
 6 For they have ||made ready their heart 
 like an oven, while they lie in wait : their 
 baker sleepeth all the night ; in the morn- 
 ing it burneth as a flaming fire. 
 
 7 They 6 have all heated themselves like 
 an oven, and have devoured their judges ; 
 r all their kings A are fallen: 4 there is none 
 among them that calleth to me : 
 
 8 Ephraim, he *hath mixed himself 'with 
 the nations ; Ephraim is a cake not turned. 
 
 9 'Strangers nave devoured his strength, 
 and he knoweth it not: yea, gray hairs are 
 'sprinkled upon him, yet he knoweth not. 
 
 10 And the m pride of Israel testitieth to 
 his face : 9 for "they do not return to Jeho- 
 vah their God, nor seek him for all this. 
 
 11 If "Ephraim also is like a silly dove 
 without 10 understanding: 'they call to 
 Egypt, they go to Assyria. 
 
 12 When they shall go, «I will spread my 
 net "over them ; I will bring them down 
 12 like the fowls of the heaven ; I will chas- 
 tise them, r as their congregation hath heard. 
 
 13 Wo to them ! for they have "wandered 
 from me: tdestruction to them! because 
 they have transgressed against me: though 
 ' I have redeemed them, yet they have 
 spoken lies against me. 
 
 14 'And they have not cried to me with 
 their heart, when they howled on 'their 
 beds : they assemble themselves for corn 
 and wine, and they rebel against me. 
 
 15 Though I have '"chastened and 'then 1 
 strengthened their arms, yet do they ima- 
 gine mischief against me. 
 
 16 "They return ' 5 not to the Most High : 
 'they are like a deceitful bow : their princes 
 shall fall by the sword for the " 16 insolence 
 of their tongue: this shall be their "re- 
 proach *in the land of Egypt. '

 &ET "the trumpet to tthy mouth. He 
 ^ shall come "like an eagle against the 
 house of Jehovah, because 'they have 
 transgressed my covenant, and trespassed 
 against my law. 
 
 2 d Israel shall cry to me, My God, 'we 
 know thee. 
 
 3 Israel hath cast off Hhat which is good : 
 the enemy shall pursue him. 
 
 4 -They have set up kings, but not by 
 me: they have made princes, and I Ap- 
 proved it not: ^of their silver and their 
 gold have they made themselves idols, 
 that they might be cut off. 
 
 5 f Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast Hhem 
 off; mine anger is kindled against them : 
 *how long will it be 5 before they attain to 
 innocency? 
 
 6 For from Israel was it also : the work- 
 man made it; therefore it is not God* 
 6 for the calf of Samaria shall be broken in 
 pieces. 
 
Israels distress and captivity. 
 
 CHAPTERS IX. X. 
 
 Israel threatened for idolatry. 
 
 7 For 'they have sown the wind, and they 
 shall reap the whirlwind : it hath no ||stalk : 
 the bud shall yield no meal : if 7 by chance 
 it yield, *the strangers shall swallow it up. 
 
 8 'Israel is swallowed up: now shall they 
 be among the Gentiles m as a vessel 8 which 
 is not desired. 
 
 9 For "they are gone up to Assyria, °a 
 wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim p hath 
 hired Hovers. 
 
 10 9 But though they have hired among the 
 nations, now 'will I gather them, and they 
 shall Hsorrow ||a little for the burden of 'the 
 king I0 and princes. 
 
 11 Because Ephraim hath made 'many 
 altars to sin, altars shall be to him "for sin. 
 
 12 I have written to him 'the great things 
 of my law, but they were "'esteemed like a 
 strange thing. 
 
 13 "JfThey sacrifice flesh/or the sacrifices 
 of mine offerings, and eat it; x but Jeho- 
 vah aceepteth them not; "now will he re- 
 member their iniquity, and visit their sins : 
 *they shall return to Egypt. 
 
 14 "For Israel hath forgotten 'his Maker, 
 and 'buildeth "palaces ; and Judah hath 
 multiplied "fortified cities: bufl will send 
 a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour 
 the I5 castles thereof. 
 
 CHAPTER IX. 
 
 The distress and captivity of Israel for their sins 
 and idolatry. 
 
 REJOICE not, Israel, for joy, Mike 
 other people : for thou "hast gone 2 lewd- 
 iy from thy God, thou hast loved a 'reward 
 t|on every corn-floor. 
 
 2 'The floor and the "wine-vat shall not 
 feed them, and the new wine shall fail in 
 her. 
 
 3 They shall not dwell in ''Jehovah's land; 
 'but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and 
 '''they shall eat unclean things e 'm Assyria. 
 
 4 'They shall not offer wine-offerings to 
 Jehovah, 'neither shall they be pleasing to 
 him : 'their sacrifices shall be to them as 
 the bread of mourners ; all who eat there- 
 of shall be polluted : for their bread 'for 
 their 4 soul shall not come into the house of 
 Jehovah. 
 
 5 What will ye do in m the solemn day, 
 and in the day of the feast of Jehovah ? 
 
 6 For lo, they are gone because of tde- 
 struction : "Egypt snail gather them up, 
 Memphis shall bury them : fltthe pleasant 
 * things' ^purchased for their silver, "nettles 
 shall possess them : thorns shall be in their 
 ^habitations. 
 
 7 The days of visitation are come, the 
 days of recompence are_ come ; Israel shall 
 know it: the prophet is a fool, t p the spi- 
 ritual man is mad, for the multitude of 
 thine iniquity, and the great hatred. 
 
 8 The 'watchman of Ephraim was with 
 my God: but the prophet is a snare of a 
 fowler in all his ways, and 'destruction ||in 
 the house of his God. 
 
 9 r They have deeply corrupted themselves, 
 as in the days of 'Gibeah: 8 /He will re- 
 member their iniquity, he will visit their 
 sins. 
 
 10 I found Israel like grapes in the 'de- 
 sert; I saw your fathers 10 like "the first 
 ripe ' fig' on the fig-tree *at its first time : 
 but they went to "Baal-peor, and Separat- 
 ed themselves e to that shame ; 'and their 
 abominations were according "to their love,

 14 Give them, O Jehovah : what wilt 
 thou give ? give them 'a tmiscarrying womb 
 and dry breasts. 
 
 15 All their wickedness Hs in Gilgal : for 
 there I hated them : 'for the wickedness of 
 their doings I will drive them "from my 
 house, I will love them no more : "all their 
 princes are revolters.

 up, they shall bear no fruit : yea, "though 
 they bring forth, yet will I slay even tthe 
 beloved ™whom they bring forth.

 CHAPTER X. 
 
 Israel is reproved and threatened for their impiety 
 and idolatry. 
 
 ISRAEL is " *a spreading vine, he bringeth 
 forth fruit to himself: according to the 
 Abundance of his fruit 'he hath increased 
 the altars; according to the goodness of 
 his land 'they have made goodly timages. 
 
 2 Their heart is ""deceitful ; now shall 
 they be 4 punished : he shall tbreak down 
 their altars, he 5 will spoil their images. 
 
 3 'For now they shall say, We have no 
 king, because we feared not Jehovah; 
 what then 6 can a king do 'for us ? 
 
 4 They have spoken words, swearing 
 falsely in making a covenant : thus judg- 
 ment springeth up /8 like the poppy in the 
 furrows of the field. 
 
 5 The inhabitants of Samaria shall fear 
 because of the calves of 'Beth-aven : for 
 the people thereof shall mourn over it, and 
 ||the 9 idol-priests thereof I0 shall tremble 
 over it, 'for the glory thereof, because it 
 "hath departed from it. 
 
 6 It shall be also carried to Assyria, for 
 a present to 'king Jareb : Ephraim shall 
 receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed 
 r of his own counsel. 
 
 7 m Jis for Samaria, her king is cut off 
 l2 like the foam on tthe water. - 
 
 8 "The high places also of Aven, "the sin 
 of Israel, shall be destroyed: the thorn 
 and the thistle shall come up on their 
 altars ; 'and they shall say to the moun- 
 tains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on 
 us. 
 
 9 '0 Israel, thou hast sinned from the 
 days of Gibeah : there they stood : 'the 
 battle in Gibeah against the children of 
 iniquity did not overtake them. 
 
 10 "'According to my desire "I will 
 chastise them; and "the people shall be 
 gathered against them ; ls and they shall 
 bind them for their two iniquities. 
 
 11 And Ephraim is l6 like *a heifer that 
 is "trained, and loveth to tread out the 
 is grain; but I passed over on ther fair 
 neck : I will l9 yoke Ephraim ; Judah shall 
 plough, and Jacob shall "harrow his clods. 
 
 12 "Sow *'for yourselves in righteousness, 
 reap ^according to mercy; 'break up your 
 
 601 
 
Israel's ingratitude. 
 
 fallow ground : for it is time to seek the 
 Lord, till he come and rain 23 righteous- 
 ness on you. 
 
 13 "Ye have ploughed wickedness, ye 
 have reaped iniquity; ye haye*eaten the 
 fruit of lies : because thou didst trust in 
 thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty 
 men. 
 
 14 'Therefore shall a tumult arise among 
 thy people, and all thy fortresses shall be 
 '"destroyed, as Shalman ^destroyed c Beth- 
 arbel in the day of battle: d the mother was 
 dashed in pieces 26 with her children. 
 
 15 So shall Beth-el do to you because of 
 tyour great wickedness : in 27 the morning 
 'shall the king of Israel utterly be cut on. 
 
 CHAPTER XI. 
 
 1 The ingratitude of Israel to God for his benefits. 
 5 His judgment. 8 God's mercy toward them. 
 
 WHEN "Israel ivas a child, then I 
 loved him, and 'called my c son 'from 
 Egypt. 
 
 2 As they called them, so they went from 
 them : d they sacrificed to Baalim, and burn- 
 ed incense to graven images. 
 
 3 C I taught Ephraim also to 2 walk, taking 
 them by their arms ; but they Considered 
 not that f I healed them. 
 
 4 I drew them with cords of a man, with 
 bauds of love : and s l was to them "like 
 those who ttake off the yoke on their jaws, 
 and "I 5 gently fed them. 
 
 5 ^ 'He shall not return into the land of 
 Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be his king, 
 'because they refused to return. 
 
 6 And the sword shall abide on his cities, 
 and shall consume his branches, and de- 
 vour them, 'because of their own counsels. 
 
 7 And my people are bent to ""back- 
 sliding from me: "though they called them 
 to the Most High, tnone at all would exalt 
 him. 
 
 8 "How shall I give thee up, Ephraim ? 
 how shall I 6 abandon thee, Israel ? how 
 shall I make thee 'like *Admah ? how 
 shall I set thee 8 like Zeboim ? 'my heart 
 is turned within me, my repentings are 
 kindled together. 
 
 9 I will not execute the fierceness of 
 mine anger, I will not 9 again destroy 
 Ephraim: 'for I am God, and not man; 
 the Holy One in the midst of thee : and I 
 will not 10 come in wrath. 
 
 10 They shall walk after Jehovah: 'he 
 shall roar like a lion : when he shall roar, 
 then the children shall "hasten 'from the 
 west. 
 
 11 They shall 12 hasten like a bird "from 
 Egypt, "and "like a dove ' 5 from the land 
 of Assyria: *and I will place them in their 
 houses, saith Jehovah. 
 
 12 "Ephraim 16 encompasseth me around 
 with lies, and the house of Israel with 
 deceit: but Judah yet ruleth with God, 
 and is faithful ||with the saints. 
 
 CHAPTER XII. 
 
 1 A reproof of Ephraim, Judah, and Jacob. 3 By for- 
 mer favours he exhorteth to repentance. 7 Ephra- 
 im's sins provoke God. 
 
 EPHRAIM "feedeth on wind, and fol- 
 lowed! after the east wind : he daily 
 increaseth lies and desolation ; 'and they ' 
 make a covenant with the Assyrians, and 
 c oil is carried into Egypt.

 Ephraim and Judah reproved. 
 
 to his ways ; according to his doings will 
 he recompense him. 
 
 3 % He took his brother 'by the heel 2 at 
 the birth, and by his strength he '"strove 
 with God : 
 
 4 Yea, he 4 strove with the angel, and 
 prevailed: he wept, and made supplication 
 to him: he found him in fBeth-el, and 
 there he spoke with us ; 
 
 5 Even Jehovah God of hosts ; Jehovah 
 is his "memorial. 
 
 6 'Therefore, turn thou to thy God: keep 
 5 kindness and "justice, and "wait 'for thy 
 God continually. 
 
 7 HHe is ||a merchant, 'the balances of 
 deceit are in his hand : he loveth to [(op- 
 press. 
 
 8 And Ephraim said, m Yet I am become 
 rich, I have found 8 myself substance : \\in 
 all my labours they shall find no iniquity 
 in me 9 which is sin. 
 
 9 And "I I0 Jehovah thy God from the 
 land of Egypt "will yet make thee to dwell 
 in "tents, as in the days of the solemn 
 feasts. 
 
 10 'I have also spoken by the prophets, 
 and I have multiplied visions, and used 
 similitudes, tby the ministry of the pro- 
 phets. 
 
 11 q Is there iniquity in Gilead? surely 
 they are vanity : they sacrifice bullocks in 
 r Gilgal ; yea, 'their altars are I2 like heaps 
 in the furrows of the fields. 
 
 12 "Now Jacob 'fled into the country of 
 Syria, and Israel "served for a wife, and 
 for a wife he kept sheep. 
 
 13 "And by a prophet Jehovah brought 
 Israel 14 from Egypt, and by a prophet waa 
 he preserved. 
 
 14 "Ephraim provoked him 15 tmost bit- 
 terly: therefore 16 will he leave his tblood 
 on him, z and his "reproach shall his "Lord 
 return to him. 
 
 CHAPTER XIII. 
 
 1 Ephraim's glory, by reason of idolatry, vanisheth. 
 5 God's anger for their unkindness. 9 A promise 
 of God's mercy. 15 A judgment for rebellion. 
 
 WHEN Ephraim spoke trembling, he 
 exalted himself in Israel ; but "when 
 he offended 'through Baal, he died. 
 
 2 And now tthey sin more and more, 
 and 'have made themselves molten images 
 of their silver, and idols according to their 
 2 skill, all of it the work of the craftsmen: 
 they say of them, Let ||the men who sacri- 
 fice c kiss the calves. 
 
 3 Therefore they shall be "like the morn- 
 ing cloud, and 4 like the early dew which 
 passeth away, £5 like the chaff which is 
 driven with the whirlwind 6 from the 
 'threshing'-floor, and 7 like the smoke 
 8 from the chimney. 
 
 4 Yet f I am Jehovah thy God from the 
 land of Egypt, and thou shalt Acknow- 
 ledge no God but me : for * there is no 
 saviour besides me. 
 
 5 f "I '"acknowledged thee in the "desert, 
 'in the 12 thirsty land. 
 
 6 "According to their pasture, so were 
 they filled; they were filled, and their 
 heart was exalted : therefore 'have they 
 forgotten me. 
 
 7 Therefore m I will be to them ,3 a lion : 
 14 "a leopard by the way, will I 15 watch 
 them. 
 
 8 I will meet them 0l6 like a bear " be- 
 
The judgment of Samaria. 
 
 reaved of her whelps, and will rend the 
 caul of their heart, and there will I devour 
 them like a lion: tthe wild beast shall 
 tear them. 
 
 9 If Israel, p thou hast destroyed thy- 
 self; 'but in me Ms thy help. 
 
 10 || 18 Where is thy king ? 'where is K he 
 who may save thee in all thy cities ? M or 
 thy judges of whom "thou saidst, Give me 
 a king and princes ? 
 
 11 'I gave thee a king in mine anger, and 
 took him away in my wrath. 
 
 12 "The iniquity of Ephraim is "treasured 
 up ; his sin is M hoarded up. 
 
 13 *The sorrows of a travailing woman 
 shall come upon him: he is y an unwise 
 son ; ^else he would not 'stay tlong in the 
 place of the breaking forth ot children. 
 
 14 °I will ransom them from tthe power 
 of the '"grave; I will redeem them from 
 death ; *0 death, I will be thy plagues, 
 grave, I will be thy destruction : 'repent- 
 ance shall be hidden from mine eyes. 
 
 15 ^ Though d he be fruitful among his 
 brethren, "an east wind shall come, the 
 wind of Jehovah shall come up from the 
 ^desert, and his spring shall become dry, 
 and his fountain shall be dried up : he shall 
 ^plunder the treasure of all tpleasant ves- 
 sels. 
 
 16 USamaria shall 2 "be punished ; / for she 
 hath rebelled against her God : e they shall 
 fall by the sword : their infants shall be 
 dashed in pieces, and their women with 
 child shall be ripped up.

 6 nevei been the like, neither shall 'there' 
 be any more after it, even to the years tof 
 many generations. 
 
 3 S A fire devoureth before them; and be- 
 hind them a flame burnetii: the land is 
 'like Mhe garden of Eden before them, 
 •and behind them a desolate 8 waste ; yea, 
 and nothing shall escape them. 
 
 4 * 9 Their appearance is like the appear- 
 ance of horses; and 10 like horsemen so 
 shall they run. 
 
 5 'Like the "rattling of chariots on the 
 tops of mountains shall they leap, like the 
 noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the 
 stubble, OT as a strong people set in battle- 
 array. 
 
 6 Before 12 them the people shall "trem- 
 ble : "all faces shall gather tblackness. 
 
 7 They shall run like mighty men ; they 
 shall climb the wall like men of war; and 
 they shall march every one on his ways, 
 and they shall not break their ranks : 
 
 8 Neither shall one thrust another ; they 
 shall walk every one in his path : and when 
 they fall on the ,4 dart, they shall not be 
 wounded. 
 
 9 They shall run 15 through the city; they 
 shall run upon the wall, they shall climb 1S 
 upon the houses ; they shall "enter in at 
 the windows ''like a thief. 
 
 10 'The earth shall quake before them ; 
 the heavens shall tremble: 'the sun and 
 the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall 
 withdraw their shining : 
 
 11 'And Jehovah shall utter his voice 
 before 'his army: for his camp is very 
 great : "for he is strong who executeth his 
 word: for the *day of Jehovah is great 
 and very terrible; and "who can "en- 
 dure it ? 
 
 12 If ,8 Yet now, saith Jehovah, *Turn ye 
 19 to me with all your heart, and with fast- 
 ing, and with weeping, and with mourn- 
 ing: 
 
 13 And "rend your heart 20 rather than 
 *your garments, and turn to Jehovah your 
 God: for he is c21 compassionate and merci- 
 ful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, 
 and repenteth him of the evil. 
 
 14 ''Who knoweth ^but he will ^turn and 
 repent, and leave 'a blessing behind him ;

 concerning Israel 'in the days of Uzziah 
 king of Judah, and in the days of ''Jero- 
 boam the son of Joash king of Israel, two 
 years before the 'earthquake. 
 
 2 And he said, Jehovah will /2 shout from 
 Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem ; 
 and the habitations of the shepherds shall 
 mourn, and the top of *Carmel shall wither. 
 
 3 Thus saith Jehovah ; For three trans- 
 gressions of ''Damascus, Hand for four, I 
 will not ||turn away the punishment there- 
 of; * because they have threshed Gilead 
 with threshing 3 sledges of iron :

 gressions of "Gaza, and for four, I will not

 hovah. 
 
 9 If Thus saith Jehovah ; For three trans-

 thereof. 
 
 11 U Thus saith Jehovah; For three 
 transgressions of x Edom, and for four, I 
 will not turn away the punishment there- 
 of: because he aid pursue "his brother 
 *with the sword, and fdid cast off all pity, 
 'and his anger did tear perpetually, and he 
 kept his wrath for ever : 
 
 19 But d I will send a fire upon Teman, 
 which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah. 
 
 13 TJ Thus saith Jehovah ; For three 
 transgressions of e the children of Ammon, 
 and for four, I will not turn away the 
 punishment thereof: because they have 
 || 'ripped up the women with chdd, of 
 Gilead, g that they might enlarge their 
 border : 
 
 14 But I will kindle a fire on the wall 
 of 'Rabbah, and it shall devour the palaces 
 thereof, *' 8 amidst shouting in the day of 
 battle, with a tempest in the day of the 
 whirlwind : 
 
 15 And "their king shall go into capti-

 Jehovah. 
 
 CHAPTER II. 
 
 1 God's wrath, against Moab, 4 upon Judah, 6 and 
 upon Israel. 9 God complaineth of their unthank- 
 fulness. 
 
 THUS saith Jehovah ; For three trans- 
 gressions of "Moab, and for four, I 
 will not turn away the punishment there- 
 of, because he 'burned the bones of the 
 king of Edom into lime : 
 
 2 But I will send a fire upon Moab, and 
 it shall devour the palaces of c Kirioth: 
 and Moab shall die 'amidst tumult, d with 
 shouting, and with the sound of the 
 trumpet: 
 
 3 And I will cut off 'the judge from the 
 midst thereof, and will slay all the princes 
 thereof with him, saith Jehovah. 
 
 4 ^f Thus saith Jehovah; For three trans- 
 gressions of Judah, and for four, I will not 
 turn away the punishment thereof: 'be- 
 cause they have despised the law of Jeho- 
 vah, and have not kept his Ordinances, 
 and ftheir 3 idols caused them to err, *after 
 4 which their fathers have walked : 
 
 5 'But I will send a fire upon Judah, and 
 it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem. 
 
 6 ^f Thus saith Jehovah; For three trans- 
 gressions of Israel, and for four, I will not 
 turn away the punishment thereof : because 
 'they sold the righteous for silver, and the 
 poor for a pair of shoes ; 
 
 7 Who pant 5 for the dust of the earth on 
 the head of the poor, and 'turn aside the 
 "right of the 'afflicted : m and a man and his 
 father will go in to the same ||maid, "to 
 dishonour my holy name : 
 
 8 And they lay themselves down upon 
 clothes "laid to pledge p by every altar, and 
 they drink the wine of 9 those fined in the 
 house of their gods. 
 
 9 If Yet destroyed I the 'Amorite before 
 them, ""whose height was like the height of 
 the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks ;

 11 And I raised up 'some' of your sons

 men for *Nazarites. Is it not even thus,

 ing, Prophesy not. 
 
 13 "Behold, ||I am pressed under you, as

 CHAPTER III. 
 
 1 TTie necessity of God's judgment against Israel. 
 9 The publication of it, with the causes thereof. 
 
 TTEAR this word which Jehovah hath 
 ■*-■*- spoken against you, O children of 
 Israel, against the whole family which I 
 brought up from the land of Egypt, saying, 
 
 2 "You only have I 'acknowledged of all 
 the families of the earth : 'therefore I will 
 tpunish you for all your iniquities. 
 
 3 Can two walk together, 2 unless they 
 are agreed ? 
 
 4 Will a lion roar in the forest, when he 
 hath no prey? will a young lion tcry 3 from 
 his den, if he have taken nothing ? 
 
 5 Can a bird fall into a snare on the earth, 
 where no gin is 'set' for him? 4 will one take 
 up a snare from the earth, s even when it 
 hath taken nothing at all ? 
 
 6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, 
 and the people ||not be afraid ? 'shall there 
 be Calamity in the city, ||and Jehovah hath 
 not done it ? 
 
 7 Surely the Lord Jehovah will do no- 
 thing, but d he revealeth his secret ' coun- 
 sel' to his servants the prophets. 
 
 8 'The lion hath roared, who will not 
 fear ? the Lord Jehovah hath spoken, Avho 
 'would not prophesy ? 
 
 9 If "Proclaim in the palaces at Ashdod, 
 and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and 
 say, Assemble yourselves on the moun- 
 tains of Samaria, and behold the great tu- 
 mults in the midst thereof, and the flop- 
 pressed in the midst thereof. 
 
 10 For they g9 care not to do right, saith 
 Jehovah, who store up violence and ||rob- 
 bery in their palaces. 
 
 11 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jeho- 
 vah; *An adversary I0 shall be even "around 
 the land ; and he shall bring down thy 
 strength from thee, and thy palaces shall 
 be 12 plundered. 
 
 12 Thus saith Jehovah : As the shepherd 
 ttaketh out of the mouth of the lion two 
 legs, or a piece of an ear: so shall the 
 children of Israel be taken out ,3 who sit 
 in Samaria in the corner of a bed, and in 
 w a damask coueh. 
 
 13 Hear ye, and testify in the house of 
 Jacob, saith the Lord Jehovah, the God 
 of hosts, 
 
 14 That, in the day l6 when I shall ||visit 
 
Israel reproved for obstinacy, S/-C-. 
 
 CHAPTERS IV. V. 
 
 the transgressions of Israel upon him, I 
 will also visit the altars of Beth-el : and 
 the horns of the altar shall be cut off, and 
 fall to the ground. 
 
 15 And I will smite 'the winter-house 
 with Hhe summer-house ; and 'the houses 
 of ivory shall perish, and the great houses 
 shall 16 be destroyed, saith Jehovah. 
 
 CHAPTER IV. 
 
 1 He reproveth Israel for oppression, 4 for idolatry, 
 6 and for their incorrigibleness. 
 
 HEAR this word, ye "'heifers of Bashan, 
 who are on the mountain of Samaria, 
 who oppress the poor, who crush the 
 needy, who say to their masters, Bring, 
 and let us drink. 
 
 2 'The Lord Jehovah hath sworn by his 
 holiness, that lo, the days shall come upon 
 you, 2 when he will take you away "with 
 nooks, and your posterity with fish-hooks. 
 
 3 And d ye shall go out at the breaches, 
 every 3 one at that which is before her; and 
 ||ye shall cast them into the 4 castle, saith 
 Jehovah. 
 
 4 H 'Come to Beth-el and transgress : at 
 'Gilgal multiply transgression ; and g bring 
 your sacrifices every morning, "and your 
 tithes s every tthree years : 
 
 5 'And toffer a sacrifice of thanksgiving 
 with leaven, and proclaim and publish 
 'the free-'will'-offenngs : 'for tthis 6 pleas- 
 eth you, O ye children of Israel, saith the 
 Lord Jehovah. 
 
 6 If And I also have given you cleanness 
 of teeth in all your cities, and want of 
 bread in all your places : m yet have ye not 
 returned to me, saith Jehovah. 
 
 7 And also I have withholden the 'show- 
 ers from you, when there were yet three 
 months to the harvest : and I caused it to 
 rain on one city, and caused it not to rain 
 on another city : one piece was rained on, 
 and the piece 8 on which it rained not 
 withered. 
 
 8 So two or three cities wandered to one 
 city, to drink water; but they were not 
 satisfied: "yet have ye not returned to me, 
 saith Jehovah. 
 
 9 °I have smitten you with blasting and 
 mildew: ||when your gardens and your 
 vineyards and your fig-trees and your 
 olive-trees increased, p the 9 locust devour- 
 ed them : yet have ye not returned to me, 
 saith Jehovah. 
 
 10 I have sent among you the pestilence 
 |] 'after the manner of Egypt : your young 
 men have I slain with the sword, tana 
 have taken away your horses; and I have 
 made the 10 ill odour of your camps to come 
 up to your nostrils : r yet have ye not re- 
 turned to me, saith Jehovah. 
 
 11 I have overthrown some of you, as 
 God overthrew ' Sodom and Gomorrah, 
 'and ye were "like a fire-brand plucked 
 out of the burning : "yet have ye not re- 
 turned to me, saith Jehovah. 
 
 12 Therefore, thus will I do to thee, 
 Israel : and because I will do this to thee, 
 "prepare to meet thy God, Israel. 
 
 13 For lo, he who formeth the mountains, 
 and createth the ||wind, v and declareth to 
 man what his thought is, *' 2 he maketh the 
 morning darkness, "and "walketh on the 
 high places of the earth, Mehovah, The 
 God of hosts, is his name.

 CHAPTER V. 
 
 1 A lamentation for Israel. 4 An exhortation to 
 repentance. 21 God rejecteth their hypocritical 
 service. 
 
 HEAR ye this word which I "utter 
 against you, 2 a lamentation, O house 
 of Israel. 
 
 2 The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall 
 no more arise: she is 3 cast down on her 
 land ; there is *no one to raise her up. 
 
 3 For thus saith the Lord Jehovah; The 
 city 5 which sent out a thousand shall leave 
 a hundred, and that which 6 sent forth 7 a 
 hundred shall leave ten, to the house of 
 Israel. 
 
 4 If For thus saith Jehovah to the house 
 of Israel, 'Seek 8 me, 'and ye shall live : 
 
 5 But seek not d Beth-el, nor enter into 
 Gilgal, and pass not 'over' to 'Beer-sheba : 
 for Gilgal snail surely go into captivity, 
 and f Beth-el shall come to 9 nothing. 
 
 6 ff Seek Jehovah, and ye shall live : lest 
 he break out like fire in the house of Jo- 
 seph, and devour it, and there be none to 
 quench it in Beth-el. 
 
 7 Ye who *turn judgment to wormwood, 
 and leave off righteousness on the earth, 
 
 8 Seek him who maketh the 'seven stars 
 and Orion, and turneth the shadow of 
 death into 10 morning, *and maketh the 
 day dark with night: who 'calleth for the 
 waters of the sea, and poureth them out 
 on the face of the earth : "Jehovah is his 
 name: 
 
 9 " Who bringeth destruction suddenly 
 upon the strong, and bringeth desolation 
 upon the fortress. 
 
 10 "They hate him who rebuketh in the 
 gate, and they "abhor him who speaketh 
 uprightly. 
 
 11 "Therefore, because ye trample on the 
 poor, and ye take from him "gifts of grain: 
 p ye have built houses of hewn stone, but 
 ye shall not dwell in them ; ye have planted 
 tpleasanf vineyards, but ye shall not drink 
 'the' wine of them. 
 
 12 For I know your manifold transgres- 
 sions and your mighty sins: 'they afflict 
 the just, they take ||a bribe, and they 'turn 
 aside the poor in the gate from their right. 
 
 13 Therefore, 'the prudent shall keep 
 silence in that time; for it "shall be an 
 evil time. 
 
 14 Seek good, and not evil, that ye may 
 live : and so Jehovah, the God of hosts, 
 shall be with you, 'as ye have 15 said. 
 
 15 "Hate ' 6 evil, and love " good, and es- 
 tablish "justice in the gate: "itmaybe that 
 Jehovah 'the' God of hosts will be 19 com- 
 passionate to the remnant of Joseph. 
 
 16 Therefore, Jehovah, the God of hosts, 
 the Lord, saith thus; Wailing shall be in 
 all 'the' streets ; and they shall say in all 
 the highways, Alas ! alas ! and they shall 
 call the husbandman to mourning, and 
 y such as are skilful zo in lamentation to 
 wailing. 
 
 17 And in all vineyards shall be wailing: 
 for *I will pass through thee, saith Jeho- 
 vah. 
 
 18 "Wo to you who desire the day of Je- 
 hovah ! to what end is it for you ? the 
 day of Jehovah 21 shall be darkness, and 
 not light. 
 
 19 'As if a man did flee from a lion,, and 
 a bear met him : or went into the house, 
 
 607 
 
Israel's voluptuousness threatened. 
 
 and leaned his hand on the wall, and a 
 serpent bit him. 
 
 20 Shall not the day of Jehovah be dark- 
 ness, and not light ? even very dark, and 
 no brightness in it ? 
 
 21 If ''I hate, I. despise your feast-days, 
 and *I will Phave no delight in your so- 
 lemn assemblies. 
 
 22 -Though ye offer me burnt-offerings 
 and your ^meal-offerings, I will not accept 
 them; neither will I regard the 25 thank- 
 offerings of your fat beasts. 
 
 23 Take thou away from me the noise of 
 thy songs ; for I will not hear the melody 
 of thy 26 psalteries. 
 
 24 *But let ^'justice t run down 28 like 
 waters, and righteousness 29 like a mighty 
 stream. 
 
 25 ''Have ye offered to me sacrifices and 
 offerings in the M desert forty years, 
 house of Israel ? ' 
 
 26 But ye have borne the "'tabernacle 'of 
 your Moloch and Chiun your images, the 
 star of your god, which ye made 32 for your- 
 selves. 
 
 27 Therefore, will I causeyou to go into 
 captivity *beyond Damascus, saith Jeho- 
 vah, 'whose name is The God of hosts. 
 
 CHAPTER VI. 
 
 1 The wantonness of Israel, 7 shall be plagued with 
 desolation, 12 and their incorrigibleness. 
 
 WO "to 'those who rest in Zion, and 
 ! feel secure in the mountain of Sa- 
 maria, who are 3 the 'nobles of the nations, 
 to whom the house of Israel come ! 
 
 2 'Pass ye to d Calneh, and see ; and from 
 thence go ye to 'Hamath the great : then 
 go down to 'Gatl, of the Philistines : si are 
 they better than these kingdoms? or 'tV 
 their border greater than your border ? 
 
 3 Ye who A put far away the 'evil day, 
 *and cause ! the ||seat of Oppression to come 
 near ; 
 
 4 Who lie on beds_of ivory, and ||stretch 
 themselves upon their couches, and eat the 
 lambs "from the flock, and the calves 'from 
 the midst of the stall ; 
 
 5 m Who ||chant to the sound of the 'psal- 
 tery, and invent to themselves instruments 
 of music, "like David ; 
 
 6 Who drink ||wine in bowls, and anoint 
 themselves with the chief ointments: "but 
 they are not grieved for the t 9 destruction 
 of Joseph. 
 
 7 If Therefore, now shall they go captive 
 with the first who go '"captives, and the 
 "shouting of those who stretched them- 
 selves shall be removed. 
 
 8 ? The Lord Jehovah hath sworn by 
 himself, saith Jehovah the God of hosts, 
 I abhor 'the excellency of Jacob, and hate 
 his palaces : therefore will I deliver up the 
 city with all tthat is therein. 
 
 9 And it shall come to pass, if there re- 
 main ten men in one house, that they shall 
 die. 
 
 10 And a man's uncle shall take him up, 
 "even he who burneth him, to bring out the 
 bones out of the house, and shall say to 
 him who is by the sides of the house, Is 
 there yet any 'one' with thee ? and he shall 
 say, '"Not one. Then shall he say, 'Hold 
 thy tongue: 'for ||we "cannot make men- 
 tion of the name of Jehovah.

 CHAPTER VII. 
 
 1 The Judgments of the Uocusts, 4 and of the fire, are 
 diverted by the prayer of Amos. 7 By the wall of 
 a plumb-line is signified the rejection of Israel. 
 10 Amaziah complaineth of Amos. 14 Amos shew- 
 eth his calling, 16 and Amaziah's judgment. 
 
 THUS hath the Lord Jehovah shewed 
 to me ; and behold, he formed 2 locusts 
 in the beginning of the shooting up of the 
 latter growth; and lo, it was the latter 
 growth after the king's mowings. 
 
 2 And it came to pass, that when they 
 had made an end of eating the grass of the 
 land, then I said, Lord Jehovah, for- 
 give, I beseech thee: ""how shall Jacob 
 arise ? for he is small. 
 
 3 'Jehovah repented 4 of this: It shall not 
 be, "said Jehovah. 
 
 4 If Thus hath the Lord Jehovah shewed 
 to me: and behold, the Lord Jehovah 
 called to contend 'in judgment' by fire, 
 and it devoured the great deep, and did 
 eat up "the land. 
 
 5 Then said I, O Lord Jehovah, cease, 
 I beseech thee: "how shall Jacob arise? 
 for he is small. 
 
 6 Jehovah repented "of this : This also 
 shall not be, saith the Lord Jehovah. 
 
 7 If Thus he shewed me: and behold, the 
 "Lord stood on a wall made by '"the plumb- 
 line, "and in his hand was a plumb-line. 
 
 8 And Jehovah said to me, Amos, what 
 seest thou? and I said, A plumb-line. 
 Then said the ,2 Lord, Behold, 1 will set 
 a plumb-line in the midst of my people 
 Israel : 'I will not '"spare them any more : 
 
 9 /I4 For the high places of Isaac shall be 
 desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall 
 be laid waste ; and e I will rise against the 
 house of Jeroboam with the sword. 
 
 10 If Then Amaziah *the priest of Beth -el 
 sent to 'Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, 
 Amos hath conspired against thee in the 
 midst of the house of Israel : the land is 
 not able to bear all his words. 
 
 11 For thus Amos '"hath said, Jeroboam 
 shall die by the sword, and Israel shall 
 surely be led away '"captives from their 
 own land. 
 
 12 "And Amaziah said to Amos, thou 
 seer, go flee '" away into the land of Judah, 
 and there eat bread, and prophesy there : 
 
 13 But 'prophesy not again any more at 
 Beth-el: 'for it is the king's '"sanctuary, 
 and it is the king's 20 house. 
 
 14 Then answered Amos, and said to 
 Amaziah, I was no prophet, neither was I 
 m a prophet's so*"; "but I was a herdman, 
 and a gatherer of ||sycamore fruit : 
 
 15 And Jehovah took me tas I followed 
 the flock, and Jehovah said to me, Go, 
 prophesy to my people Israel. 
 
The type of a basket of ripe fruit. 
 
 CHAPTERS VIII. IX. The certainty of Israel's desolation. 
 
 16 If Now, therefore, hear thou the word 
 of Jehovah : Thou sayest, Prophesy not 
 against Israel, and "drop not thy word 
 against the house of Isaac. 
 
 17 p Therefore thus saith Jehovah ; 'Thy 
 wife shall be a harlot in the city, and thy 
 sons and thy daughters shall tall by the 
 sword, and thy land shall be divided by 
 line; and thou shalt die in a polluted 
 land : and Israel shall surely go into cap- 
 tivity 21 from his land. 
 
 CHAPTER VIII. 
 
 I By a basket of l ripe fruit is shewed the propinquity 
 
 of Israel's end. 4 Oppression is reproved. 1 1 A 
 famine of the word threatened. 
 
 r PHUS hath the Lord Jehovah shewed to 
 J- me : and behold a basket of 2 ripe fruit. 
 
 2 And he said, Amos, what seest thou ? 
 And I said, A basket of 3 ripe fruit. Then 
 said Jehovah to me, "The end is come 
 upon my people of Israel; *I will not 
 4 spare them any more. 
 
 3 And 'the songs of the temple tshall be 
 howlings in that day, saith the Lord Jeho- 
 vah : there shall be many dead bodies in 
 every place; d they shall cast them forth 
 twith silence. 
 
 4 f Hear this, O ye who e5 swalIow up the 
 needy, even to malte the poor of the land 
 to fad, 
 
 5 Saying, When will the ||new-moon be 
 
 fone, that we may sell corn ? and ^the sab- 
 ath, that we may tset forth 6 grain, ^making 
 the ephah small, and the shekel great, and 
 tfalsifying the balances by deceit ? 
 
 6 That we may buy the poor for *silver, 
 and the needy for a pair of shoes ; 7 and 
 sell the refuse of the 8 grain ? 
 
 7 Jehovah hath sworn by 'the excellency 
 of Jacob, Surely *I will never forget any 
 of their works. 
 
 8 'Shall not the land tremble for this, 
 and every one mourn that dwelleth there- 
 in ? and it shall rise up wholly 9 like a 
 river ; and it shall be cast out and 10 over- 
 flowed, m as by the "river of Egypt. 
 
 9 And it shall come to pass in that day, 
 saith the Lord Jehovah, "that I will cause 
 the sun to go down at noon, and I will 
 darken the earth in the clear day : 
 
 10 And I will turn your feasts into mourn- 
 ing, and all your songs into lamentation ; 
 p and I will bring up sackcloth upon all 
 loins, and baldness upon every head ; «and 
 I will make it 12 like the mourning I3 for an 
 only son, and the end thereof u like a bit- 
 ter day. 
 
 II If Behold, the days come, saith the 
 Lord Jehovah, 15 when I will send a fa- 
 mine on the land, not a famine of bread, 
 nor a thirst for water, but r of hearing the 
 words of Jehovah : 
 
 12 And they shall wander from sea to 
 sea, and from the north even to the east, 
 they shall run to and fro to seek the word 
 of Jehovah, and shall not find it. 
 
 13 In that day shall the fair virgins and 
 young men faint for thirst. 
 
 14 Those who 'swear by 'the sin of Sa- 
 maria, and say, 'As' thy god, O Dan, 
 liveth; and, 'As' the t 16 worshipped -god 
 "of Beer-sheba liveth; even they shall 
 fall, and never rise up again.

 yet I will not utterly destroy the house of 
 Jacob, saith Jehovah. 
 
 9 For lo, I will command, and I will 
 tsift the house of Israel among all nations, 
 20 as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not 
 2l a grain fall on the earth. 
 
 10 All the sinners of my people shall die 
 by the sword, r who say, The evil shall not 
 overtake nor ^seize us. 
 
 11 If 'In that day will I raise up the ta- 
 bernacle of David which is fallen, and 
 tclose up the breaches thereof; and I will 
 raise up its ruins, and I will build it as in 
 the days of old : 
 
 12 'That they may possess the remnant 
 of "Edom, and of all the fnations twho are 
 called by my name, saith Jehovah who 
 doeth this.

 vah, 2i when the ploughman shall overtake 
 the reaper, and the treader of grapes him 
 who tsowetli seed; * and the mountains 
 shall drop ||sweet wine, and all the hills 
 shall melt. 
 
 14 »And I will bring ^back the 26 captives 
 of my people of Israel, and *they shall build 
 the waste cities, and inhabit them; and 
 they shall plant vineyards, and drink the 
 wine thereof; they shall also make gar- 
 dens, and eat the fruit of them.

The destruction of Edom. 
 
 OBADIAH.— JONAH. 
 
 The salvation of Jacob. 
 
 IT OBADIAH. 
 
 1 The destruction of Edom, 3 for their pride, 10 and 
 for their wrong unto Jacob. 17 The salvation and 
 victory of Jacob. 
 
 THE vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the 
 Lord Jehovah "concerning Edom; 
 6 We have heard a rumour from Jehovah, 
 'for an ambassador is sent among the hea- 
 then, Arise ye, and let us rise up against 
 her in battle. 
 
 2 Behold, I have made thee small among 
 the heathen : thou art greatly despised. 
 
 3 If The pride of thy heart hath deceived 
 thee, thou that dwellest in the 2 refuges 'of 
 the rock, whose habitation is high; d who 
 saith in his heart, Who 3 can bring me 
 down to the ground ? 
 
 4 'Though thou exalt thyself Mike the 
 eagle, and though thou 'set thy nest among 
 the stars, thence will I bring thee down, 
 saith Jehovah. 
 
 5 If ^thieves came to thee, if robbers by 
 night, (how art thou cut off!) would they 
 not have stolen till they had enough? if 
 the grape-gatherers came to thee, "would 
 they not leave 5 gleanings ? 
 
 6 How are the things of Esau searched 
 out! how are his hidden things sought 
 6 out! 
 
 7 All the men of thy confederacy have 
 brought thee even to the border: t'the men 
 who were at peace with thee have deceived 
 thee, and prevailed against thee; Wiose 
 who ate thy bread have laid a 7 snare under 
 thee : k there is no understanding ||in him. 
 
 8 'Shall I not in that day, saith Jehovah, 
 even destroy the wise men 8 from Edom, 
 and understanding 9 from the mount of 
 Esau ? 
 
 9 ,0 For thy ""mighty men, "Teman, shall 
 be dismayed, "so that every one of the 
 mount of Esau may be cut off by slaugh- 
 ter. 
 
 10 1 For thy "violence against thy brother 
 Jacob, shame shall cover thee, and p thou 
 shalt be cut off for ever. 
 
 11 In the day ,2 when thou didst stand on 
 the other side, in the day "when the stran- 
 gers ||carried away "captives his forces, 
 and foreigners entered into his gates, and 
 'cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou wast 
 ls like one of them.

 into the sea, and there was a mighty tem-

 to be broken. 
 
 5 Then the mariners were afraid,, and 
 cried 5 each man to his god, and 'cast forth 
 the wares which tvere in the ship into the 
 sea, to lighten it of them. But Jonah 6 had 
 gone down 'into the sides of the ship; and 
 he lay, and was fast asleep. 
 
 6 So the ship-master came to him, and 
 said to him, What meanest thou, O sleeper ? 
 arise, *call uppn thy God, "perhaps God 
 will think upon us, that we perish not.

 we may know for whose cause this evil is 
 
Jonah is thrown into the sea. 
 
 CHAPTERS II. III. IV. 
 
 He preacheth the fall of Nineveh. 
 
 upon us. So they cast lots, and the lot 
 fell upon Jonah. 
 
 8 Then said they to him, "Tell us, we 
 pray thee, for whose cause this evil is 
 upon us ; What is thine occupation ? and 
 wnence comest thou ? what is thy country ? 
 and of what people art thou ? 
 
 9 And he said to them, I am a Hebrew; 
 and I 10 reverence Jehovah, the God of 
 heaven, "who hath made the sea and the 
 dry land. 
 
 10 Then were the men t exceedingly 
 afraid, and said to Him, Why hast thou 
 done this? For the men knew that he 
 fled from the presence of Jehovah, be- 
 cause he had told them. 
 
 11 f Then said they to him, What shall 
 we do to thee, that the sea tmay be calm 
 "for us? for the sea ||t 12 rolled, and was 
 tempestuous. 
 
 12 And he said to them, p Take me up, 
 and cast me forth into the sea ; so 13 will 
 the sea be calm 14 for you : for I know that 
 for my sake this great tempest is on you. 
 
 13 Nevertheless the men trowed hard to 
 bring it to the land ; 'but they could not : 
 for the sea "rolled, and was tempestuous 
 against them. 
 
 14 Wherefore they cried to Jehovah, and 
 said, We beseech thee, O Jehovah, we 
 beseech thee, let us not perish for this 
 man's life, and 'lay not upon us innocent 
 blood: for thou, O Jehovah, 'hast done as 
 it pleased thee. 
 
 > 15 So they took up Jonah, and cast him I6 
 into the sea : 'and the sea tceased from its 
 raging. 
 
 16 Then the men "feared Jehovah ex- 
 ceedingly, and tofFered a sacrifice to Je- 
 hovah, and made vows. 
 
 17 If Now Jehovah had prepared a great 
 fish to swallow up Jonah. And *Jonah was 
 in the tbelly of the fish three days and three 
 nights.

 1 The prayer of Jonah. 10 He is delivered from

 affliction to Jehovah, *and he heard me ; 
 2 from the belly of || 3 hell cried I, and thou

 3 'For thou hadst cast me into the "depth,

 5 The ^waters 6 encompassed me, even to 
 the 'life: the 8 deep enclosed me around, 
 the weeds were wrapped 9 around my 
 head. 
 
 6 I went down to the t 10 foundations of

 CHAPTER III. 
 
 1 Jonah, sent again, preacheth to the Ninevites. 
 5 Upon their repentance, 10 God repenteth. 
 
 AND the word of Jehovah came to 
 Jonah the second time, saying, 
 
 2 Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, 
 and preach to it the preaching which I bid 
 thee. 
 
 3 So Jonah arose, and went to Nineveh, 
 according to the word of Jehovah. Now 
 Nineveh was a t'very great city of three 
 days' journey. 
 
 4 And Jonah began to enter into the city 
 a day's journey, and °he 2 preached, and 
 said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall 
 be overthrown. 
 
 5 If So the people of Nineveh Relieved 
 God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on 
 sackcloth, from the greatest of them even 
 to the least of them. 
 
 6 For 'the' word came to the king of 
 Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, 
 and he laid his robe from him, and covered 
 himself with sackcloth, 'and sat in ' the' 
 ashes. 
 
 7 d And he caused it to be proclaimed and 
 tpublished through Nineveh by the decree 
 of the king and his tnobles, saying, Let 
 neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, 
 taste any thing: let them not feed, nor 
 drink water : 
 
 8 But let man and beast be covered with 
 sackcloth, and cry mightily to God : yea, 
 'and' 'let them turn every one from his 
 evil way, and from 'the violence that is in 
 their hands. 
 
 9 *Who can tell if God will turn and 
 repent, and turn away from his fierce 
 anger, that we perish not ? 
 
 10 1f *And God saw their works, that 
 they turned from their evil way; and God 
 repented of the evil which he had said 
 that he would do to them ; and he did it 
 not. 
 
 CHAPTER IV. 
 
 1 Jonah, repining at God's mercy, 4 is reproved by 
 the type of a gourd. 
 
 BUT it displeased Jonah exceedingly, 
 and he was very angry. 
 
 2 And he prayed to Jehovah, and said, I 
 pray thee, O Jehovah, was not this my 
 saying, when I was yet in my country? 
 Therefore I ° 'anticipated it by fleeing to 
 Tarshish : for I knew that thou art a 'gra- 
 cious God, and merciful, slow to anger, 
 and of great kindness, and repentest thee 
 of the evil. 
 
 3 'Therefore now, O Jehovah, take, 1 
 beseech thee, my life from me ; for d it is 
 better for me to die than to live. 
 
 4 If Then said Jehovah, ||Doest thou well 
 to be angry ? 
 
 5 2 Then Jonah went out of the city, and 
 sat on the east side of the city, and there 
 made him a booth, and sat under it in the 
 shadow, till he might see what would be- 
 come of the city. 
 
 6 And Jehovah God prepared a t 3 gourd, 
 and made it to come up over Jonah, that it 
 might be a shadow over his head, to deli- 
 ver him from his "trouble. So Jonah twas 
 exceedingly glad of the gourd. 
 
 S 3 S 611 
 
God reproveth Jonah 
 
 7 But God prepared a worm when the 
 morning rose the next day, and it smote 
 the gourd, s and it withered. 
 
 8 And it came to pass, when the sun 
 "arose, that God prepared a || 7 sultry east 
 wind ; and the sun beat upon the head of 
 Jonah, 8 and he fainted, and wished in him- 
 self to die, and said, 'It is better for me to 
 die than to live. 
 
 9 And God said to Jonah, ||Doest thou 
 well to be angry 9 on account of the gourd?

 T MICAH. 
 
 CHAPTER I. 
 
 1 Micah sheweth the wrath of God against Jacob for 
 idolatry. 10 He exhorteth to mourning. 
 
 THE word of Jehovah which came to 
 "Micah the Morasthite in the days of 
 Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of 
 Judah, 'which he saw concerning Samaria 
 and Jerusalem. 
 
 2 tHear, all ye people; 'hearken, earth, 
 and tall that therein is : and let the Lord 
 Jehovah d be witness against you, the 'Lord 
 from 'his holy temple. 
 
 3 For behold, 'Jehovah cometh 2 from his 
 *place^ and will come down, and 3 walk on 
 the 'high places of the earth. 
 
 4 And "the mountains shall 4 melt down 
 under him, and the valleys shall be cleft, 
 5 like wax before the fire, 6 like waters 7 
 poured down ta steep place. 
 
 5 For the transgression of Jacob is all 
 this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. 
 What is the transgression of Jacob ? is it 
 not 'af Samaria ? and what are the high 
 
 filaces of Judah ? are they not 'af Jerusa- 
 em? 
 
 6 Therefore, I will make Samaria ft8 like 
 a heap of the field, and 9 like plantings of a 
 vineyard: and I will pour down the stones 
 thereof into the valley, and I will M0 lay 
 bare the foundations thereof. 
 
 7 And all the graven images thereof shall 
 be beaten to pieces, and all the ""hires there- 
 of shall be burned with the fire, and all the 
 idols thereof will I lay desolate : for she 
 gathered it "by the hire of a harlot, and 
 they shall return to the hire of a harlot. 
 
 8 Therefore, "I will wail and howl; °I 
 will go stripped and naked : P I will make 
 a wailing like the "jackals, and mourning 
 ,3 like the tostriches. 
 
 9 For ||her wound is incurable ; for «it is 
 come to Judah ; "it reacheth to the gate of 
 my people, even to Jerusalem. 
 
 10 % 'Declare 15 it not at Gath, weep ye 
 not at all: in the house of HAphrah 'roll 
 thyself in the dust. 
 
 11 Pass ye away, ||thou tinhabitant of Sa- 
 
 Ehir, having thy 'shame naked: the inha- 
 itant of HZaanan came not forth in the 
 mourning of ||Beth-ezel ; he shall receive 
 of you his :6 loading-place. 
 
 12 For the inhabitant of Maroth "was 
 grieved for prosperity: when "evil came 
 down from Jehovah to the gate of Jeru- 
 salem. 
 
 13 thou inhabitant of "Lachish, bind 
 the chariot to the I8 courser : she l9 was the 
 beginning of *° sin to the daughter of Zion : 
 for the transgressions of Israel were found 
 in thee.

 CHAPTER II. 
 
 1 Against oppression. 4 A lamentation. 7 A re- 
 proof of injustice and idolatry. 12 A promise of 
 restoring Jacob. 
 
 WO to those "who devise iniquity, and 
 'work evil on their beds ! when the 
 morning is light, they practise it, because 
 'it is in the power of their hand. 
 
 2 And they 'long for d fields, and take 
 them by violence; and houses, and take 
 them away: so they 2 defraud a man 3 even 
 of his house, even a man "even of his he- 
 ritage. 
 
 3 Therefore thus saith Jehovah; Behold, 
 against 'this family do I devise an evil, 
 from which ye shall not remove your 
 necks ; neither shall ye go haughtily : 'for 
 this time is evil. 
 
 4 If In that day shall one ff take up a para- 
 ble against you, and 'lament twith a dole- 
 ful lamentation, and say, We 5 are utterly 
 wasted : 'he hath changed the portion of 
 my people : how hath he removed it from 
 me ! 6 he hath taken away and divided out- 
 fields. 
 
 5 Therefore, thou shalt have 7 no one who 
 shall 'cast s the measuring-cord in a portion 
 in the congregation of Jehovah. 
 
 6 ||t 'Prophesy ye not, say they to those 
 who prophesy: they shall not prophesy 
 'concerning these things, and their shame 
 shall not depart. 
 
 7 If O thou that art named The house of 
 Jacob, is the spirit of Jehovah straitened? 
 are these his doings ? do not my words do 
 good to him who walketh tuprightly ? 
 
 8 Even tof late my people ,0 hath risen up 
 "like an enemy: ye pull off the robe 12 from 
 the garment 13 of those who pass by securely 
 u like men returning from war. 
 
 9 The ||women of my people have ye cast 
 out from their pleasant houses ; from their 
 children have ye taken away my glory for 
 ever. 
 
 10 Arise ye, and depart; for this is not 
 your "rest: because it is "polluted, it shall 
 15 be destroyed, even with a ,6 mighty de- 
 struction. 
 
 It If a man || "walking in the spirit "of 
 falsehood do lie, saying, I will prophesy 
 
The falsehood of the prophets. 
 
 to thee of wine and of strong drink; 18 even 
 he will be the prophet 19 for this people. 
 
 12 If 'I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all 
 of thee ; I will surely gather the remnant 
 of Israel ; I will put them together '^like 
 the sheep of Bozrah, 2l like the flock in the 
 midst of their 22 pasture: they shall 23 be in 
 a tumult by reason of the multitude of 
 men. 
 
 13 "He who breaketh the way hath come 
 up before them : they have broken up, and 
 have passed through the gate, and are gone 
 out by it; and 'their king shall pass before 
 them, (25 even Jehovah 26 at the head of 
 them. 
 
 CHAPTER III. 
 
 1 The cruelty of the princes. 5 The falsehood of the 
 prophets. 8 The security of them both. 
 
 AND I said, Hear, I pray you, O heads 
 of Jacob, and ye 'magistrates of the 
 house of Israel : "Is it not for you to Re- 
 gard justice? 
 
 2 Who hate the good, and love the evil ; 
 who pluck off their skin from 3 them, and 
 their flesh from 4 their bones ; 
 
 3 Who also 'eat the flesh of my people, 
 and 6 strip their skin from 6 them; and 
 they break their bones, and 'break them 
 in pieces, as for the pot, and c8 like flesh 
 within the caldron. 
 
 4 Then d shall they cry to Jehovah, but 
 he will not hear them : he will even hide 
 his face from them at that time, ^because 
 they have behaved themselves ill in their 
 doings. 
 
 5 If Thus saith Jehovah 'concerning the 
 prophets who make my people err, who 
 'bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace ; 
 and s he that putteth not into their mouths, 
 they even prepare war against him : 
 
 6 * Therefore, night shall be to you, 
 t l0 when ye shall not have a vision ; and it 
 shall be dark to you, t'so' that ye shall 
 not divine; "and the sun shall go down 
 "upon the prophets, and the day shall be 
 dark over them. 
 
 7 Then shall the seers be ashamed, and 
 the diviners "amazed : yea, they shall all 
 cover their t lips ; *for there is no an- 
 swer "from God. 
 
 8 ^f But truly I am full of power by the 
 Spirit of Jehovah, and of judgment, and 
 of might, 'to declare to Jacob his trans- 
 gression, and to Israel his sin. 
 
 9 Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the 
 house of Jacob, and "'magistrates of the 
 house of Israel, who abhor 16 justice, and 
 pervert all equity. 
 
 10 m They build up Zion with "tblood, 
 and Jerusalem with iniquity. 
 
 11 "The heads thereof judge for '^bribes, 
 and ? the priests thereof teach for hire, and 
 the prophets thereof divine for money : «yet 
 will they lean on Jehovah, tand say, Is 
 not Jehovah among us ? no evil can come 
 upon us. 
 
 12 Therefore, shall Zion for your sake be 
 'ploughed l Hike a field, 'and Jerusalem shall 
 become heaps, and 'the mountain of the 
 house 19 like the heights of a forest.

 2 And many nations shall 'go, and say, 
 Come, and let us go up to the mountain of 
 Jehovah, and to the house of the God of 
 Jacob ; and he will teach us of his ways, 
 and we will walk in his paths : for 2 a law 
 shall go forth 3 from Zion, and the word of 
 Jehovah from Jerusalem. 
 
 3 ^f And he shall judge among many peo- 
 ple, and rebuke strong nations afar off; 
 and they shall beat their swords into 
 'plough-shares, and their spears into Hprun- 
 ing : hooks : nation shall not lift up a sword 
 against nation, 'neither shall they learn war 
 any more. 
 
 4 d But they shall sit 4 each man under his 
 vine and under his fig-tree ; and none shall 
 make them afraid : for the mouth of Jeho- 
 vah of hosts hath spoken it. 
 
 5 For 'all people will walk every one in 
 the name of his god, and %e will walk in 
 the name of Jehovah our God for ever and 
 ever. 
 
 6 In that day, saith Jehovah, *will I fa- 
 ther her who 6 was lame, *and I will gather 
 her that Jwas driven out, and her whom I 
 have afflicted ; 
 
 7 And I will make her who 8 was lame 'a 
 remnant, and her that was cast far off a 
 strong nation: and Jehovah "shall reign 
 over them on mount Zion from henceforth, 
 even for ever. 
 
 8 If And thou, O tower of J the flock, 
 9 mound of the daughter of Zion, to thee 
 shall it come, even the "former dominion ; 
 the kingdom shall come to the daughter of 
 Jerusalem. 
 
 9 Now, why dost thou cry " aloud ? 'is 
 there no king in thee ? ,2 hath thy counsel- 
 lor perished ? for m pangs have taken thee 
 13 like a woman in travail. 
 
 10 Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, 
 
 daughter of Zion, like a woman in tra- 
 vail : for now shalt thou go forth u from the 
 city, and thou shalt dwell in the field, and 
 thou shalt go even to Babylon ; there shalt 
 thou be delivered ; there Jehovah shall 
 redeem thee from the hand of thine ene- 
 mies. 
 
 11" IT " 15 For now many nations are gather- 
 ed against thee, that say, Let her be defil- 
 ed, and let our eyes "look upon Zion. 
 
 12 But they know not 'the thoughts of 
 Jehovah, neither understand they his ,6 de- 
 sign : for he shall gather them « "like the 
 sheaves into the ' threshing'-floor. 
 
 13 'Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion : 
 for I will make thy horn iron, and I will 
 make thy hoofs brass : and thou shalt 'beat 
 in pieces many people : 'and I will conse-

 2 But thou, "Beth-lehem Ephratah, though

 3 Therefore, will he give them up, until 
 the time that ff she 2 who bringeth forth hath 
 brought forth : then "the remnant of his 
 brethren shall return to the children of 
 Israel. 
 
 4 If And he shall stand and i3 rule with 
 the strength of Jehovah, %ith the majesty 
 of the name of Jehovah his God ; and they 
 shall abide ' safely' : for now *shall he be 
 great to the ends of the earth. 
 
 5 And this man 'shall be the peace, when 
 the Assyrian shall come into our land : 
 and when he shall tread in our palaces, 
 then 5 will we raise against him seven Ru- 
 lers, and eight tprincipal men. 
 
 6 And they shall twaste the land of As- 
 syria with the sword, and the land of 
 "'jSimrod ||in the entrances thereof: thus 
 shall lie "deliver us from the Assyrian, 
 when he cometh into our land, and when 
 he treadeth within our borders. 
 
 7 And "the remnant of Jacob shall be in 
 the midst of many people p7 like a dew from 
 Jehovah,- 8 like the showers on the grass, 
 9 which tarry not for man, nor wait for the 
 sons of men. 
 
 8 ^ And the remnant of Jacob shall be 
 among the Gentiles in the midst of many 
 people as a lion among the beasts of the 
 forest, I0 like a young lion among the flocks 
 of fjsheep: who, it he go through, both 
 treadeth down, and teareth in pieces, and 
 none can deliver. 
 
 9 Thy hand shall be lifted up "over thine 
 adversaries, and all thine enemies shall be 
 cut off. 
 
 10 'And it shall come to pass in that day, 
 saith Jehovah, that I will cut off thy 
 horses 12 from the midst of thee, and I will 
 destroy thy chariots : 
 
 11 And I will cut off the cities of thy 
 land, and throw down all thy "fortresses : 
 
 12 And I will cut off "sorceries from thy 
 hand ; and thou shalt have no more rl5 en-

 13 s Thy 16 carved images also will I cut 
 off, and thy Hstanding images "from the 
 midst of thee ; and thou snalt 'no more

 1 God's controversy for unkindness, 6 for ignorance, 
 10 for injustice, 16 and for idolatry. 
 
 HEAR ye now what Jehovah saith ; 
 Arise, contend thou ||before the moun- 
 tains, and let the hills hear thy voice. 
 
 2 "Hear ye, O mountains, Mehovah's con- 
 troversy, and ye strong foundations of the 
 earth : for 'Jehovah hath a controversy 
 with his people, and he will plead with 
 Israel.

 and wherein have I wearied thee ? testify

 3 and the general corruption, 5 putteth her confi- 
 dence not in man, but in God. 8 She triumpheth 
 over her enemies. 14 God comfortcth her by pro- 
 mises, 16 by confusion of the enemies, 18 and by 
 his mercies. 
 
 WO Ho me ! for I am as twhen they 
 have gathered the 2 ripe fruits, 3 like 
 "the grape-gleanings of the vintage : there 
 is no cluster to eat: * 4 I longed for the first 
 ripe 5 fig. 
 
 2 The ' llgood man is perished "from the 
 land : and there is 7 no one upright among 
 men : they all lie in wait for blood ; d they 
 hunt 'each man his brother with a net. 
 
 3 If That they may do evil with both 
 hands earnestly, 'the prince asketh^and 
 the judge asketh for a reward; and the 
 a;reat man, he uttereth this mischievous 
 desire, 9 and perverteth it. 
 
 4 The best of them Hs 10 like a brier : the 
 most upright is sharper than a thorn-hedge : 
 the day of thy jvatchmen and thy visita- 
 tion cometh; now shall be their perplexity. 
 
 5 1f Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not 
 confidence in a guide: keep the doors of 
 thy mouth from her who lieth in thy bosom. 
 
 6 For 'the son dishonoured, the father,

 the daughter riseth up against her mother, 
 the daughter-in-law against her mother-in- 
 law ; a man's enemies are the men of his 
 own "household. 
 
 7 I2 But *I will look to Jehovah ; I will 
 wait for the God of my salvation; my God 
 will hear me. 
 
 8 ^ 'Rejoice not against me, mine ene-

 "though I have sat in darkness, "Jehovah 
 is will be a light to me. 
 
 9 °I will bear the indignation of Jeho- 
 vah, because I have sinned against him,

 16 justice for me: p he will bring me forth 
 to the light, and I shall behold nis "kind-

 CHAPTER II. 
 
 The fearful and victorious armies of God against 
 Nineveh. 
 
 HE || "who dasheth in pieces is come up 
 before thy face: *keep the 'fortress, 
 watch the way, make thy loins strong, 
 fortify thy power mightily. 
 
 2 "For Jehovah hath turned away ||the 
 excellency of Jacob, 2 like the excellency 
 of Israel : for d the emptiers have emptied 
 them out, and 3 destroyed their vine- 
 branches. 
 
 3 The 4 buckler of his mighty men is 
 made e red, the valiant men are ||in scarlet : 
 
 615 
 
'Hie miserable ruin 
 
 the chariots shall be with || 6 flashing irons 
 in the day of his preparation, and the 
 6 lances shall 'quiver. 
 
 4 The chariots shall rage in the streets, 
 they shall 8 run to and tro in the broad 
 ways : tthey shall seem like torches, they 
 shall run like 6 lightnings. 
 
 5 He shall recount his || 10 chiefs: they 
 shall stumble in their walk; they shall 
 make haste to the wall thereof, and the 
 t "assault-covering shall be prepared. 
 
 6 The gates of the rivers shall be opened, 
 and the palace shall be ||dissolved. 
 
 7 And || 12 Huzzab shall be ||led away cap- 
 tive, she shall be brought up, and her 
 maids shall lead her as with the voice of 
 Aloves, "beating upon their breasts. 
 
 8 But Nineveh is ||of old like a pool of 
 water: yet they shall flee away. Stand, 
 stand, shall they cry; but none shall ||look 
 back. 
 
 9 Take ye the spoil of silver, take the 
 spoil of gold : ||for there is no end of the 
 store ana glory u of all the tpleasant fur- 
 niture. 
 
 10 She is empty, and void, and waste: 
 and the s heart melteth, and "the knees 
 smite together, " 5 for great pain is in all 
 loins, and 'the faces of them all gather 
 blackness. 
 
 11 Where is the 16 habitation of 'the lions, 
 and the feeding-place of the young lions, 
 where the lion, even the old lion, walked, 
 and the lion's whelp, and "no one made 
 them afraid ? 
 
 12 The lion did tear in pieces enough for 
 his whelps, and strangled for his lionesses, 
 and filled his holes with prey, and his dens 
 with I8 that which was torn. 
 
 13 '"Behold, I am against thee, saith Je- 
 hovah of hosts, and I will burn her cha- 
 riots in the smoke, and the sword shall 
 devour thy young lions : and I will cut off 
 thy prey from the earth, and the voice of 
 "thy messengers shall no more be heard.

 is a multitude of slain, and a great num

 6 And I will cast abominable filth upon

 12 like *a gazing-stock. 
 
 7 And it shall come to pass, that all those 
 who look upon thee 'shall flee from thee, 
 and say, Nineveh is laid waste : *who will 
 bemoan her; whence shall I seek com- 
 forters for thee ? 
 
 8 'Art thou better than ml3 No-Amon, that

 was the sea, and her wall was from the 
 sea? 
 
 9 Ethiopia and Egypt were her strength, 
 and it was 15 endless ; Put and ,6 Libya were 
 tthy helpers. 
 
 10 Yet was she carried away, she went 
 into captivity : "her young children also 
 were dashed in pieces "at the 1T head of all 
 the streets : and they 'cast lots for her ho- 
 nourable men, and all her great men were

 2 O Jehovah, how long shall I cry, "and 
 thou wilt not hear! even cry out to thee 
 ^concerning violence, and thou wilt not 
 
 save 
 
The fearful vengeance by the Chaldeans. CHAPTERS II. III. God's judgments on the Chaldeans. 
 
 3 Why dost thou shew me iniquity, and 
 cause me to behold 3 wickedness ? For 'plun- 
 dering and violence are before me : 5 for 
 there 6 is strife and contention. 
 
 4 Therefore, the law is slacked, and judg- 
 ment 'is not given according to truth : for 
 the 'wicked doth 8 encompass the right- 
 eous; therefore, 9 perverted judgment 10 is 
 given. 
 
 5 \ 'Behold ye among the heathen, and 
 "observe, and u be astonished : for / will 
 work a work in your days, which ye will 
 not believe though it be told you. 
 
 6 For lo, d ||I raise up the Chaldeans, that 
 "fierce and H swift nation, which shall march 
 through the tbreadth of the land, to pos- 
 sess the dwelling-places that are not theirs. 
 
 7 They are terrible and dreadful : ||their 
 "authority and their dignity shall proceed 
 "from themselves. 
 
 8 Their horses also are swifter than the 
 leopards, and are more tfierce than the 
 "evening wolves : and their horsemen shall 
 "leap proudly, and their horsemen shall 
 come trom far ; 'diey shall fly ,8 like the 
 eagle that hasteth to 19 devour. 
 
 9 They shall come 20 for violence : ||t 21 the 
 multitude of their faces are forward, and 
 they shall gather the ^captives like the sand. 
 
 10 And they shall scoff at 2S kings, and 24 
 
 Srinces shall be a scorn to them : they shall 
 eride every ^fortress ; for they shall heap 
 dust, and take it. 
 
 11 Then shall his mind change, and he 
 shall ^transgress, and 27 become guilty, s im- 
 puting this nis power to his god. 
 
 12 ^f h Art thou not from everlasting, O 
 Jehovah my God, my Holy One? We 
 shall not die. Jehovah, 'thou hast or- 
 dained them for judgment; and, O tmighty 
 God, thou hast ^appointed them for cor- 
 rection. 
 
 13 *Tliou art of purer eyes than to behold 
 evil,and canstnotlook on||iniquity: 'where- 
 fore lookest thou on those who deal 29 wick- 
 edly, and boldest thy tongue when the wick- 
 ed devoureth the man who is more right- 
 eous than he? 
 
 14 And makest men ^like the fishes of 
 the sea, as the ||creeping things, that have 
 no ruler over them ? 
 
 15 They m take up all of them with the 
 3l hook, they catch them in their net, and 
 gather them in their ||drag : therefore they 
 rejoice and are glad. 
 
 16 Therefore "they sacrifice to their net, 
 and burn incense to their drag ; because 
 by them their portion is fat, and their ^food 
 || tplenteous. 
 
 17 Shall they therefore empty their net, 
 and not ^cease continually to slay the na- 
 tions ?

 for idolatry.

 4 And his brightness was 2 1 ike the light ; 
 he had 3 rays coming out of his hand ; and 
 there was the hiding-' place' of his power. 
 
 5 d Before him went the pestilence, and 
 ,4 the burning plague went forth at his feet. 
 
 6 He stood, and measured the earth: he 
 beheld, and 6 made the nations tremble.; 
 'and the ^everlasting mountains were scat- 
 tered, the perpetual hills did bow : his 
 ways are everlasting. 
 
 7 I saw the tents of 6 Ethiopia ||in afflic- 
 tion : and the curtains of the land of Mi- 
 dian did tremble. 
 
 8 Was Jehovah displeased against the 
 rivers ? was thine anger against the rivers ? 
 was thy wrath against the sea, "that thou 
 didst ride upon thy horses, and ||thy cha- 
 riots of 'victory ? 
 
 9 Thy bow was made quite naked, ac- 
 cording to the oaths of the tribes, even thy

 God's severe judgment against Judah for divers sins. 
 
 THE word of Jehovah which came to 
 Zephaniah the son of Cushi, the son 
 of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son 
 of Hizkiah,in the days of Josiah the son of 
 Amon, king of Judah. 
 
 2 tl will utterly consume all things from ' 
 the land, saith Jehovah. 
 
 3 °I will consume man and beast ; I will 
 consume the fowls of the heaven, and the 
 fishes of the sea, and 'the ||stumbling-blocks 
 with the wicked ; and I will cut off man 
 from 2 the land, saith Jehovah. 
 
 4 I will also stretch out my hand on Ju- 
 dah and on all the inhabitants of Jerusa- 
 lem ; and C I will cut off the remnant of 
 Baal from this place, and the name of ''the 
 3 idol-priests with the priests ; 
 
 5 And those e who worship the host of 
 heaven on the house-tops ; 'and those who 
 worship and e who swear ||by Jehovah, and

 6 And 'those who are turned back from 
 Jehovah ; and those who "have not sought 
 Jehovah, nor inquired for him. 
 
 7 "Be silent before the Lord Jehovah: 
 "for the day of Jehovah is at hand : for "Je- 
 hovah hath prepared a sacrifice, he hath 
 'prepared his guests.

 9 In the same day also will I punish all

 from the second, and a great crashing from

 11 'Howl, ye inhabitants of Maktesh, for

 and 'their blood shall be poured out I5 like 
 dust, and their flesh " 6 like manure. 
 
 18 d Neither their silver nor their gold

 CHAPTER II. 
 
 1 An exhortation to repentance. 4 The judgment of 
 the Philistines, 8 of Moab and Ammon, 12 of Ethi- 
 opia and Assyria. 
 
 ° 1 ' r pRY yourselves, yea, try yourselves, 
 J- O nation ^without shame ; 
 
 2 Before the decree bring forth, before the 
 day pass "like the chaff, before 'the fierce 
 anger of Jehovah come upon you, before 
 the day of Jehovah's anger come upon 
 you. 
 
 3 ''Seek ye Jehovah, 'all ye meek of the 
 *land, who have wrought his judgment; 
 seek righteousness, seek meekness : 'it 
 may be 'that' ye shall be hidden in the 
 day of Jehovah's anger. 
 
 4 % For *Gaza shall be forsaken, and 
 Ashkelon a desolation: they shall drive 
 out Ashdod "at the noonday, and Ekron 
 shall be rooted up. 
 
 6 Wo to the inhabitants of 'the sea coasts, 
 the nation of the Cherethites ! the word of 
 Jehovah is against you ; O s Canaan, the 
 land of the Philistines, I will even destroy 
 thee, that there shall be no inhabitant. 
 
 6 And the sea coast shall be 'pastures, 
 and 6 shepherds' cisterns, *and folds for 
 flocks. 
 
 7 And the coast shall be for m the remnant 
 of the house of Judah; they shall feed 
 thereupon : in the houses of Ashkelon 
 shall they lie down in the evening : ||for 
 Jehovah their God 'will "visit them, and 
 o8 bringback their captives. 
 
 8 f *I have heard the reproach of Moab, 
 and 'the revilings of the children of Am- 
 mon, 9 with which they have reproached 
 my people, and rl0 exulted against their 
 border. 
 
 9 Therefore, as I live, saith Jehovah of 
 hosts, the God of Israel, Surely 'Moab 
 shall be "like Sodom, and 'the children 
 of Ammon K like Gomorrah, "even I3 a pos- 
 session for nettles, and salt-pits, and a 
 perpetual desolation : "the residue of my 
 people shall spoil them, and the remnant 
 of my people sTiall possess them. 
 
 10 This shall they have y for their pride, 
 because they have reproached and "exulted 
 against the people of Jehovah of hosts. 
 
 11 Jehovah will be terrible 15 against them ; 
 for he will 16 destroy all the gods of the 
 earth ; 'and men shall worship him, every 
 one from his place, even all "the "distant 
 regions of the heathen. 
 
 12 If 4 Ye Ethiopians also, ye shall be slain 
 by 'my sword. 
 
 13 And he will stretch out his hand against 
 the north, and d destroy Assyria; and will 
 make Nineveh a desolation, and dry like 
 a 18 desert.

 CHAPTER III. 
 
 1 A sharp reproof of Jerusalem for divers sins. 8 An 
 exhortation to wait for the restoration of Israel, 
 14 and to rejoice for their salvation by God. 
 
 WO to Hther that is 'rebellious and pol- 
 luted, to the oppressing city ! 
 
 2 She "obeyed not the voice ; she 'received 
 not j| 2 admonition ; she trusted not in Je- 
 hovah ; she drew not near to her God. 
 
 3 'Her princes within her are roaring 
 lions; her judges are d evening wolves; 
 they 3 reserve nothing for the morrow. 
 
 4 Her 'prophets are 4 wan ton and trea- 
 cherous persons: her priests have polluted 
 the sanctuary, they have /6 violated the law. 
 
 5 g The just Jehovah h is in the midst 
 thereof; he will not do iniquity: tevery 
 morning doth he bring his judgment to 
 light, he faileth not; but "the unjust know- 
 eth no shame. 
 
 6 I have cut off the nations: their || towers 
 are desolate ; I made their streets waste, 
 'so' that 6 no one passeth. by : their cities 
 are destroyed, so that there is no man, 
 that there is no inhabitant. 
 
 7 *I said, Surely thou wilt fear me, thou 
 wilt receive 'admonition; so 8 her dwelling 
 should not be cut off, 9 for all for which I 
 had visited her : but they rose early, and 
 'corrupted all their doings. 
 
 8 Tf Therefore, m wait ye ,0 for me, saith 
 Jehovah, until the day "when I rise up 
 to the prey: for my determination is to 
 "gather the nations, that I may assemble 
 the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine 
 indignation, even all my fierce anger : for 
 all the earth "shall be devoured l2 by the 
 fire of my jealousy. 
 
 9 For then will I turn to the people p 13 pure 
 lips, that they may all call on the name of 
 Jehovah, 14 and serve him with one tcon- 
 sent. 
 
 10 'From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia 
 my suppliants, even the daughter of my 
 dispersed, shall bring mine offering. 
 
 11 In that day shalt thou not be ashamed 
 for all thy doings, wherein thou hast trans- 
 gressed against me : for then I will take 
 away 15 from the midst of thee those who 
 'rejoice in thy pride, and thou shalt no

 IT HAGGAI. 
 
 CHAPTER I. 
 
 1 Haggai reproveth the people for neglecting the 
 building of the house. 7 He inciteth them to the 
 building. 12 He promiseth God's assistance to 
 them being forward. 
 
 IN "the second year of Darius the king, 
 in the sixth month, in the first day of 
 the month, came the word of Jehovah tby 
 Haggai the prophet to 'Zerubbabel the son 
 of Shealtiel, Hgovernor of Judah, and to 
 'Joshua the son of d Josedech, the high 
 priest, saying, 
 
 2 Thus 'saith Jehovah of hosts, saying, 
 This people say, The time 2 hath not come, 
 the time 3 when Jehovah's house should be 
 built. 
 
 3 Then came the word of Jehovah 'by 
 Haggai the prophet, saying, 
 
 4 Us it time for you, O ye, to dwell in 
 your ceiled houses, and 'for'' this house 
 'to' lie waste ? 
 
 5 Now, therefore, thus saith Jehovah of 
 hosts ; t 5 Consider your ways. 
 
 6 Ye have "sown much, and bring in 
 little ; ye eat, but ye have not enough ; ye 
 drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye 
 clothe yourselves, but there is *no one 
 warm ; and 'he who earneth wages, earn- 
 eth wages to put Hhem into a 6 purse twith 
 holes. 
 
 7 If Thus saith Jehovah of hosts ; Con- 
 sider your ways. 
 
 8 Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, 
 and build the house ; and I will take plea- 
 sure in it, and I will 'show my glory, saith 
 Jehovah. 
 
 9 'Ye looked for much, and lo, it came to 
 little; and when ye brought it home, 'I did 
 blow 8 it away. Why? saith Jehovah of 
 hosts. Because of my house that is waste, 
 and ye run every man to his own house. 
 
 10 Therefore, m the heaven over you is 
 stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed 
 from its fruit. 
 
 11 And I "called for a drought upon the 
 land, and upon the mountains, and upon 
 the corn, and upon the new wine, and 
 upon the 'fresh' oil, and upon that which 
 the ground bringeth forth, and upon men, 
 and upon cattle, and "upon all the labour 
 of the hands. 
 
 12 If 'Then Zerubbabel the son of Sheal- 
 tiel, and Joshua the son of Josedech, the 
 high priest, with all the remnant of the 
 people, 9 hearkened to the voice of Jehovah 
 their God, and the words of Haggai the 
 prophet, ,0 in that for which Jehovah their

 13 Then spoke Haggai Jehovah's mes-

 ple, saying, «I am with you, saith Jehovah. 
 
 14 And 'Jehovah "roused up the spirit 
 of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, 'go- 
 vernor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua 
 the son of Josedech, the high priest, and 
 the spirit of all the remnant of the people ; 
 'and they came and "wrought in the house 
 of Jehovah of hosts, their God, 
 
 15 In the four and twentieth day of the 
 sixth month, in the second year of Darius . 
 the king. 
 
 CHAPTER II. 
 
 1 He encourageth the people to the work, by promise 
 of greater glory to the second temple than was in 
 the first. 10 In the type of holy things and un- 
 clean he sheweth their sins hindered the work. 
 20 God's promise to Zerubbabel. 
 
 IN the seventh month, in the one and 
 twentieth day of the month, came the 
 word of Jehovah tby the prophet Haggai, 
 saying, 
 
 2 Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of 
 Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua 
 the son of Josedech the high priest, and to. 
 the residue of the people, saying, 
 
 3 "Who is left among you that saw this 
 house in 'its former glory ? and how do ye 
 see it now ? b is it not in your 2 sight like 
 nothing when compared with it ? 
 
 4 Yet now 'be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith 
 Jehovah ; and be strong, O Joshua, son of 
 Josedech the high priest; and be strong, 
 all ye people of the land, saith Jehovah, 
 and work: for I am with you, saith Jeho- 
 vah of hosts. 
 
 5 According to the word which I cove- 
 nanted with you when ye came s from 
 Egypt, so 'my Spirit remaineth among 
 you ; fear ye not. 
 
 6 For thus saith Jehovah of hosts ; 'Yet 
 once, it is a little while, and g I will shake 
 the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, 
 and the dry land; 
 
 7 And I will shake all nations, 'and the 
 4 Delight of all nations shall come: and I 
 will fill this house with glory, saith Jeho- 
 vah of hosts. 
 
 8 The silver Js mine, and the gold is 
 mine, saith Jehovah of hosts. 
 
 9 'The glory of this latter house shall be 
 greater than 'that' of the former, saith Je- 
 hovah of hosts : and in this place will I 
 give 'peace, saith Jehovah of hosts. 
 
Zechariah exhorteth to repentance. 
 
 10 % In the four and twentieth day of the 
 ninth month, in the second year of Darius, 
 came the word of Jehovah by Haggai the 
 prophet, saying, 
 
 11 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, 'Ask now 
 the priests concerning the law, saying, 
 
 12 If one bear holy flesh in the skirt of 
 his garment, and with his skirt do touch 
 bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any 
 5 food, will it be holy ? And the priest an- 
 swered and said, No. 
 
 13 Then said Haggai, If one that is m un- 
 clean by a dead body touch any of these, 
 6 will it be unclean ? And the priests an- 
 swered and said, It 7 will be unclean. 
 
 14 Then answered Haggai and said, "So 
 is this people, and so is this nation before 
 me, saith Jehovah ; and so is every work 
 of their hands ; and that which they offer 
 there is unclean. 
 
 15 And now, I pray you, "consider from 
 this day 8 even forward, from 'the time'' be- 
 fore a stone was laid on a stone in the tem- 
 ple of Jehovah : 
 
 16 Since those days were, p when one 
 came to a heap of twenty measures, there 
 were but ten : when one came to the 
 9 wine-vat to draw out fifty vessels 10 from 
 the press, there were but twenty.

 20 If And again the word of Jehovah 
 came to Haggai in the four and twentieth 
 day of the month, saying, 
 
 21 Speak to Zerubbabel, 'governor of 
 Judah, saying, »1 will shake the heavens 
 and the earth ; 
 
 22 And z l will overthrow the throne of 
 kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength 
 of the kingdoms of the heathen ; and "I 
 will overthrow the chariots, and those who 
 ride in them; and the horses and their 
 riders shall come down, "each one by the 
 sword of his brother. 
 
 23 In that day, saith Jehovah of hosts, 
 will I take thee, Zerubbabel, my servant, 
 the son of Shealtiel, saith Jehovah, 'and 
 will make thee 16 like a seal-ring; 16 be- 
 cause C I have chosen thee, saith Jehovah 
 of hosts.

 CHAPTER I. 
 
 1 Zechariah exhorteth to repentance. 7 The vision 
 of the horses. 12 At the prayer of the angel com 
 fortable promises are made to Jerusalem. IS The 
 vision of the four horns, and the four carpenters. 
 
 IN the eighth month, "in the second year 
 of Darius, came the word of Jehovah 
 4 to Zechariah, the son of Barachiah, the son 
 of Iddo the prophet, saying, 
 
 2 Jehovah hath been t 'greatly displeased 
 with your fathers. 
 
 3 Therefore, say thou to them, Thus saith 
 Jehovah of hosts ; Turn c ye to me, saith 
 Jehovah of hosts, and I will turn to you, 
 saith Jehovah of hosts. 
 
 4 Be ye not 2 like your fathers, ''to whom 
 the former prophets have cried, saying, 
 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts; c Turn ye 
 now from your evil ways, and from your 
 evil doings : but they did not hear, nor 
 hearken to me, saith Jehovah. 
 
 5 Your fathers, where are they? and the 
 prophets, do they live for ever ? 
 
 6 But, ■''my words, and 3 mine ordinances, 
 which I commanded my servants the pro- 
 phets, did they not Overtake your fathers ? 
 and they returned and said, e5 As Jehovah 
 of hosts 6 designed to do to us, according to 
 our ways, and according to our doings, so 
 hath he dealt with us. 
 
 7 If On the four and twentieth day of the 
 eleventh month, which is the month ^he-

 word of Jehovah to Zechariah, the son of 
 Barachiah, the son of Iddo the prophet,

 11 'And they 12 spoke to the angel of Je- 
 hovah who stood among the myrtle-trees, 
 and said, We have walked to and fro 
 through the earth, and behold, all the 
 earth sitteth still, and is at rest. 
 
 12 ^ Then the angel of Jehovah I3 spoke 
 and said, m O Jehovah of hosts, how long 
 wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem 
 and on the cities of Judah, against which 
 thou hast 14 been angry "these threescore 
 and ten years ? 
 
 13 And" Jehovah answered the angel who 
 talked with me with "good words and com- 
 fortable words. 
 
 14 So the angel who 15 talked with me 
 said to me, Cry thou, saying, Thus saith 
 Jehovah of hosts; I am ^jealous for Jeru- 
 salem and for Zion with a great jealousy. 
 
 15 And I am very ? s greatly displeased 
 with the heathen who are "careless: for 
 *I was but a little displeased, and they 
 helped forward the affliction. 
 
 16 Therefore thus saith Jehovah ; 'I 
 18 have returned to Jerusalem with mer- 
 cies: my house shall be built in it, saith 
 Jehovah of hosts, and s a line shall be 
 stretched forth upon Jerusalem. 
 
 17 Cry yet, saying, Thus saith Jehovah 
 of hosts; My cities through tprosperity 
 shall yet be spread abroad ; 'and Jehovah

The redemption of Zion. 
 
 19 wiiryet comfort Zion, and K20 will yet

 18 If Then I lifted up mine eyes, and 
 saw, and behold four horns. 
 
 19 And I said to the angel who talked 
 with me, What 2l are these ? And he an- 
 swered me, 'These are the horns which 
 have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jeru- 
 salem. 
 
 20 And Jehovah shewed me four 22 work- 
 men. 
 
 21 Then said I, What come these to do? 
 And he spoke, saying, Those are the horns 
 which have scattered Judah, so that no 
 man did lift up his head : but these are 
 come to ^ terrify them, to cast out the 
 horns of the Gentiles, who "lifted up their 
 horn over the land of Judah to scatter it. 
 
 CHAPTER II. 
 
 1 God, in the care of Jerusalem, sendeth to measure it. 
 6 The redemption of Zion. 10 The promise of God's 
 presence. 
 
 I LIFTED up mine eyes again, and 
 looked, and behold °a man with a mea- 
 suring line in his hand. 
 
 2 Then said I, Whither goest thou ? And 
 he said to me, To measure Jerusalem, to 
 see what is the breadth thereof, and what 
 is the length thereof.' 
 
 3 And behold, the angel who talked with 
 me went forth, and another angel went 
 out to meet him, 
 
 4 And said to him, Run, speak to this 
 young man, saying, "Jerusalem shall be 
 inhabited Hike towns without walls 2 on 
 account of the multitude of men and cat- 
 tle therein : 
 
 5 For I, saith Jehovah, will be to her d a 
 wall of fire 3 around, e and will be the glory 
 in the midst of her. 
 
 6 If Ho, ho, "now flee •''from the land of 
 the north, saith Jehovah : for I have 
 8 spread you abroad 5 like the four winds 
 of the heavens, saith Jehovah. 
 
 7 ' l6 Ho, Zion, who dwellest with the 
 daughter of Babylon, deliver thyself. 
 
 8 For thus saith Jehovah of hosts : After 
 the glory hath he sent me to the nations 
 who 'plundered you : for he who 'toucheth 
 you, toucheth the s pupil of his eye. 
 
 9 For behold, I will "shake my hand 
 9 over them, and they shall be a 10 prey to 
 their servants: and 'ye shall know that 
 Jehovah of hosts hath sent me. 
 
 10 TT m Sing and rejoice, O daughter of 
 Zion: for lo, I come, and I "will dwell in 
 the midst of thee, saith Jehovah. 
 
 11 "And many nations shall be joined to 
 Jehovah p in that day, and shall be 'my 
 people : and I will dwell in the midst of 
 thee, and r thou shalt know that Jehovah

 3 Now Joshua was clothed with 'filthy 
 garments, and stoed before the angel. 
 
 4 And he 'spoke and said to those who 
 stood before him, saying, Take away the 
 filthy garments from him. And to him he 
 said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity 
 to pass from thee, %nd I will clothe thee 
 with 2 costly garments. 
 
 5 And I said, Let them set a 'pure *tur- 
 ban on his head. So they set a 4 pure tur- 
 ban on his head, and clothed him with 
 garments. And the angel of Jehovah 
 stood by. 
 
 6 And the angel of Jehovah Solemnly 
 declared to Joshua, saying, 
 
 7 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts ; If thou 
 wilt walk in .my ways, and if thou wilt 
 'keep my ||charge, then thou shalt also 
 * 6 rule my house, and shalt also keep my 
 courts, and I will give thee t places to' 
 walk among those who 'stand by. 
 
 8 Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, 
 thou and thy 'companions who sit before 
 thee: for they are m tmen "for a sign: for 
 behold, I will bring forth n my servant 9 The 
 "BRANCH. 
 
 9 For behold the stone which I have 
 laid before Joshua; p on one stone shall be 
 'seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the 
 engraving thereof, saith Jehovah of hosts, 
 and r I will remove the iniquity of that 
 land in one day. 
 
 10 'In that day, saith Jehovah of hosts, 
 shall ye call every man his neighbour 
 'under the vine and under the fig-tree.

 1 By the golden candlestick is foresheived the good

 olive-trees the two anointed ones. 
 
 A ND "the angel who talked with me 
 -£*■ came again, and 'awoke me, ' 2 like a 
 man who is 3 awakened from his sleep, 
 
 2 And said to me, What seest thou? 
 And I said, I have looked, and behold c a 
 candlestick, all of gold, twith a bowl on 
 the top of it, d and its seven lamps thereon, 
 and ||seven pipes to the seven lamps, which 
 are on the top thereof: 
 
 3 e And two olive-trees by it, one on the 
 right side of the bowl, and the other on 
 the left side thereof. 
 
 4 So I answered and spoke to the angel 
 who talked with me, saying, What are 
 these, my lord ? 
 
 5 Then the angel who talked with me 
 answered and said to me, Knowest thou 
 not what these 4 are ? and I said, No, my 
 lord. 
 
 6 Then he answered and spoke to me, 
 saying, This is the word of Jehovah to 
 Zerubbabel, saying, 'Not by llmight, nor 
 by power, but by my Spirit, saith Jehovah 
 of hosts. 
 
 7 Who art thou, e O great mountain ? be- 
 fore Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: 
 and he shall bring forth *the headstone 
 thereof 'with shoutings, crying, 6 Grace,

 CHAPTER V. 
 
 1 By the flying roll is shewed the curse of thieves and 
 swearers. 5 By a woman pressed in an ephah, the 
 final ' condemnation of Babylon. 
 
 THEN I turned, and lifted up mine 
 eyes, and looked, and behold a flying 
 "roll. 
 
 2 And he said to me, What seest thou ? 
 And I answered, I see a flying roll ; the 
 length thereof is twenty cubits, and the 
 breadth thereof ten cubits. 
 
 3 Then said he to me, This is the 'curse 
 which goeth forth over the face of the 
 whole earth: for ||every one who stealeth 
 shall be 2 cut off as on this side, according 
 to it ; and every one who sweareth shall 
 be s cut off as on that side, according to it. 
 
 4 I will bring it forth, saith Jehovah of 
 hosts, and it shall enter into the house of 
 the thief, and into the house of c him who 
 sweareth falsely by my name: and it shall 
 remain in the midst of his house, and ''shall 
 consume it with the timber thereof and the 
 stones thereof. 
 
 5 If Then the angel who talked with me. 
 went forth, and said to me, Lift up now 
 thine eyes, and see what this is which 
 goeth forth. 
 
 6 And I said, What is it ? And he said, 
 This is an ephah which goeth forth. He 
 said moreover, This is their resemblance 
 through all the earth. 
 
 7 And behold, there was lifted up a 
 [ftalent of lead : and this is a woman that 
 sitteth in the midst of the ephah. 
 
 8 And he said, This is wickedness. And 
 he cast it into the midst of the ephah ; and 
 he cast the weight of lead on the mouth 
 thereof. 
 
 9 Then lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, 
 and behold, there came out two women, 
 and the wind was in their wings ; for they 
 had wings like the wings of a stork : and 
 they lifted up the ephah between the earth 
 and the heaven. 
 
 10 Then said I to the angel who talked 
 with me, Whither do these bear the ephah? 
 
 11 And he said to me, To 'build 'for' it a « Jer. 29. 5, 28.

 AND I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, 
 and looked, and behold, there came 
 four chariots out from between two moun- 
 tains ; and the mountains were mountains 
 of brass. 
 
 2 In the first, chariot were "red horses ; 
 and in the second chariot 'black horses ; 
 
 3 And in the third chariot "white horses ; 
 and in the fourth chariot 'spotted and ||bay 
 horses. 
 
 4 Then I answered ''and said to the angel 
 who talked with me, What are these, my 
 lord? 
 
 5 And the angel answered and said to 
 me, 'These are the four ||spirits of the hea- 
 vens, which go forth from 'standing before 
 Jehovah of all the earth. 
 
 6 The black horses which are therein go 
 forth to f the north country; and the white 
 go forth after them; and the Spotted go 
 forth 3 to the south country. 
 
 7 And the 4 bay went forth, and sought to 
 go that they might A walk to and fro through 
 the earth: and he said, Get ye hence, walk 
 to and fro through the earth. So they walk- 
 ed to and fro through the earth. 
 
 8 Then cried he 5 to me, and spoke to me, 
 saying, Behold, these that go 6 to the north 
 country have quieted my 'spirit in the north 
 country. 
 
 9 If And the word of Jehovah came to 
 me, saying, 
 
 10 Take of those of the captivity, even of 
 Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, who 
 7 have come from Babylon, and come thou 
 the same day, and go into the house of 
 Josiah the son of Zepnaniah ; 
 
 11 Then take silver and gold, and make 
 "crowns, and set them on the head of 
 Joshua the son of Josedech, the high 
 priest ; 
 
 12 And speak to him, saying, Thus 8 saith 
 Jehovah of hosts, saying, Behold 'the man 
 whose name is The m9 BRANCH; and he 
 shall Hgrow up out of his place, "and he 
 shall build the temple of Jehovah : 
 
 13 Even he shall build the temple of Je- 
 hovah; and he "shall bear the glory, and 
 shall sit and rule on his throne : and p he 
 shall be a priest on his throne: and the 
 counsel of peace shall be between them 
 both. 
 
 14 And the crowns shall be 10 for Helem, 
 and 10 for Tobijah, and 10 for Jedaiah, and 
 10 for Hen the son of Zephaniah, 'for a me- 
 morial in the temple of Jehovah. 
 
 15 And 'those who are far off shall come 
 and build in the temple of Jehovah ; and 
 'ye shall know that Jehovah of hosts hath 
 sent me to you. And this shall come to 
 pass, if ye will diligently obey the voice of 
 Jehovah your God. 
 
 CHAPTER VII. 
 
 1 The captives inquire of fasting. 4 Zechariah re- 
 proveth their fasting. 8 Sin the cause of their 
 captivity. 
 
 AND it came to pass in the fourth year 
 of king Darius, that the word of Je- 
 hovah came to Zechariah in the fourth day 
 of the ninth month, even in 'Kislev; 
 
 2 When they had sent to the house of 
 God, Sherezer and Regem-melech, and 
 their men, tto pray before Jehovah, 
 
 3 And to "speak to the priests who were 
 in the house of Jehovah of hosts, and to 
 the prophets, saying, Should I weep in 'the 
 
 623 
 
Hypocrisy in fasts reproved. 
 
 fifth month, separating myself, as I have 
 done these so many years r 
 
 4 If Then came the word of Jehovah of 
 hosts to me, saying, 
 
 5 Speak to all the people of the land, and 
 to the priests, saying, When ye 'fasted and 
 mourned in the fifth d and seventh month, 
 'even those seventy years, did ye at all fast 
 ■''to me, even to me? 
 
 6 And when ye did eat, and when ye did 
 drink, ||did not ye eat for yourselves, and 
 drink for yourselves ? 
 
 7 || Should ye not hear the words which 
 Jehovah hath proclaimed tby the former 
 prophets when Jerusalem was inhabited 
 and in prosperity, and- the cities thereof 
 3 around her, when men inhabited *the 
 south and the plain ? 
 
 8 If And the word of Jehovah came to 
 Zechariah, saying, 
 
 9 Thus speaketh Jehovah of hosts, say- 
 ing, A tExecute true "justice, and shew 
 mercy and compassions every man to his 
 brother : 
 
 10 And 'oppress not the widow, nor the 
 fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor ; *and 
 let none of you 5 devise evil against his 
 brother in your heart. 
 
 11 But they refused to hearken, and 
 z t 6 turned away the shoulder, and t m stop- 
 ped their ears, that they 7 might not hear. 
 
 12 Yea, they made their "hearts Hike a 
 diamond, "lest they should hear the law, 
 and the words which Jehovah of hosts 
 hath sent 9 by his Spirit tby the former 
 prophets : ^therefore came a great wrath 
 from Jehovah of hosts. 
 
 13 Therefore it is come to pass, that as 
 he cried, and they would not hear; so 
 'they cried, and I would not hear, saith 
 Jehovah of hosts : 
 
 14 But r I scattered them with a whirl- 
 wind among all the nations 'whom they 
 10 had not known. Thus 'the land was 
 desolate after them, that no man passed 
 through nor returned : for they laid "the 
 tpleasant land desolate. 
 
 CHAPTER VIII. 
 
 1 The restoration of Jerusalem. 9 They are encou- 
 raged to the building by God's favour to them. 
 16 Good works are required of them. IS Joy and 
 enlargement are promised. 
 
 AGAIN the word of Jehovah of hosts 
 came to me, saying, 
 
 2 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts; "I was 
 jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and 
 I was jealous for her with great fury. 
 
 3 Thus saith Jehovah ; 'I'have returned 
 to Zion, and 'will dwell in the midst of 
 Jerusalem: and Jerusalem d shall be called, 
 A city of truth ; and 'the mountain of Je- 
 hovah of hosts, ■''The holy mountain. 
 
 4 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts ; ^There 
 shall yet old men and old women dwell in 
 the streets of Jerusalem, and every man 
 with his staff in his hand t 2 through mere 
 age. 
 
 5 And the streets of the city shall be full 
 of boys and girls playing in the streets 
 thereof. 
 
 6 Thus saitli Jehovah of hosts ; If it be 
 difficult in the "sight of the remnant of 
 this people in these days, ^should it also 
 be difficult in my sight? saith Jehovah of 
 hosts.

 Joy and enlargement promised. 
 
 'I will save my people from the east coun- 
 try, and from tthe west country ; 
 
 8 And I will bring them, and. they shall 
 dwell in the midst of Jerusalem : *and they 
 shall be my people, and I will be their 
 God, 'in truth and in righteousness. 
 
 9 Tf Thus saith Jehovah of hosts ; m Let 
 your hands be strong, ye who hear in these 
 days these words by the mouth.of "the pro- 
 phets, who were in "the day s when the foun- 
 dation of the house of Jehovah of hosts 
 was laid, that the temple might be built. 
 
 10 For before those days ifthere was no 
 '"hire for man, nor any hire for beast; 'nei- 
 ther was there any peace to him who went 
 out or came in because of the affliction : 
 for I 7 sent all men every one against his 
 neighbour. 
 
 11 But now I will not be to the residue 
 of this people as in the former days, saith 
 Jehovah of hosts. 
 
 12 r For the seed shall be tprosperous ; the 
 vine shall 8 yield its fruit, and 'the ground 
 shall 9 yield its increase, and 'the heavens 
 shall "yield their dew; and I will cause 
 the remnant of this people to possess all 
 these things. 
 
 13 And it shall come to pass, that as ye 
 were "a curse among the heathen, O house 
 of Judah, and house of Israel; so will I 
 save you, and x ye shall be a blessing : fear 
 not, " ^let your hands be strong. 
 
 14 For thus saith Jehovah of hosts ; *As 
 
 I 12 determined to do evil to you, when 
 your fathers provoked me 13 , saith Jehovah 
 of hosts, "and I repented not : 
 
 15 So again have I "determined in these 
 days to do well to Jerusalem and to the 
 house of Judah : fear ye not. 
 
 16 If These are the things which ye shall 
 do ; 'Speak ye every man the truth to his 
 neighbour; "practise true justice and good- 
 ness in your gates : 
 
 17 'And let none of you ]6 devise evil in 
 your hearts against his neighbour; and 
 ^love no false oath : for all these are things 
 which I hate, saith Jehovah. 
 
 18 U And the word of Jehovah of hosts 
 came to me, saying, 
 
 19 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts; 'The 
 fast of the fourth month, %nd the fast of 
 the fifth, ff and the fast of the seventh, A and 
 the fast of the tenth, shall be to the house 
 of Judah 'joy and gladness, and cheerful 
 
 II feasts ; * therefore love the truth and 
 "goodness. 
 
 20 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts : It shall 
 yet come to pass, that there shall come 
 people, and the inhabitants of many cities : 
 
 21 And the inhabitants of one city shall 
 go to another, saying, 'Let us go ||tspeedily 
 tto pray before Jehovah, and to seek Je- 
 hovah of hosts : I will go also. 
 
 22 Yea, "many people and strong nations 
 shall come to seek Jehovah of hosts in Je- 
 rusalem, and to pray before Jehovah. 
 
 23 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts; In those 
 days it shall come to pass, that ten men 
 shall "take hold, out of all languages of 
 the nations, shall even take hold of the 
 skirt of him who is a Jew, saying, We 
 will go with you-Tfor we have heard 'that 
 God is with you.

 rejoice for the coming of Christ, and his peaceable 
 
Christ's coming foretold. 
 
 kingdom. 12 God's promises of victory and de- 
 fence. 
 
 THE "burden of the word of Jehovah 
 'concerning the land of Hadrach, and 
 'Damascus shall be the rest thereof: when 
 'the eyes of man, as of all the tribes of Is- 
 rael, shall be towards Jehovah. 
 
 2 And d Hamath also shall border 2 on it ; 
 e3 Tyre and 'Zidon, though it be very *wise. 
 
 3 And 4 Tyre did build herself a 6 fortress, 
 and "heaped up silver "like the dust, and 
 fine gold 'like the mire of the streets. 
 
 4 Behold, 'the 'Lord will cast her out, 
 and he will smite 'her power on the sea ; 
 and she shall be devoured 9 by fire. 
 
 5 'Ashkelon shall see it, and fear ; Gaza 
 also shall see it, and be 10 in great anguish, 
 and Ekron; for her expectation shall be 
 "disappointed; and the king shall perish 
 from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be in- 
 habited. 
 
 6 And a "foreigner shall dwell m in Ash- 
 dod, and I will cut off the pride of the 
 Philistines. 
 
 7 And I will take away his tblood out of 
 his mouth, and his abominations from be- 
 tween his teeth: but he who remaineth, 
 even he, shall be for our God, and he shall 
 be I3 like a chief in Judah, and Ekron u like 
 a Jebusite. 
 
 8 And "I will encamp 15 around my house 
 because of the army, because of him who 
 passeth by, and because of him who re- 
 turneth: and "no oppressor shall pass 
 througli them any more : for now p have I 
 seen with mine eyes. 
 
 9 If 'Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; 
 shout, O daughter of Jerusalem : behold, 
 thy King cometh to thee : he is just, and 
 "having salvation ; lowly, and riding on an 
 ass and on a colt the foal of an ass. 
 
 10 And I 'will cut off the chariot from 
 Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, 
 and the battle-bow shall be cut off: and 
 he shall speak 'peace to the heathen: and 
 his dominion shall be "from sea even to sea, 
 and from the river even to the ends of the 
 earth. 
 
 11 As for thee also, ||by the blood of thy 
 covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners 
 out of the pit wherein is no water. 
 
 12 ^f Turn ye to the "fortress, "ye prison- 
 ers "cherishing hope: even to-day do I de- 
 clare that Z I will render double to thee; 
 
 13 When I have bent Judah for me, 
 "armed Ephraim with the bow, and raised 
 up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O 
 Greece, and made thee 20 like the sword of 
 a mighty man. 
 
 14 21 For Jehovah shall be seen 22 above 
 them, and "his arrow shall go forth as. the 
 lightning: and the Lord Jehovah "will 
 blow the trumpet, and 24 will go 'with 
 whirlwinds of the south. 
 
 15 Jehovah of hosts 25 will defend them ; 
 and they shall devour and Hsubdue with 
 sling-stones; and they shall drink, and 
 make a noise as 'if through wine; and 
 they ||shall be filled like bowls, and 26 like 
 the corners of the altar. 
 
 16 And Jehovah their God 27 will save 
 them in that day ^like the flock of his 
 people: for d they shall be 29 like the stones 
 of a crown, c50 hfting themselves up over 
 his land.

 CHAPTER X. 
 
 1 God is to be sought to, and not idols. 5 As he 
 visited his flock for sin, so he will save and restore 
 them. 
 
 ASK ye "of Jehovah 'rain "in the time 
 of the latter rain ; so Jehovah 'will 
 make lightnings, and give them showers 
 of rain, to every one grass in the field. 
 
 2 For the ''tidols have spoken vanity, and 
 the diviners have seen a lie, and have told 
 false dreams; they 'comfort in vain: there- 
 fore they went their way 3 like a flock, they 
 ||were troubled 'because there was no shep- 
 herd. 
 
 3 Mine anger was kindled against the 
 shepherds, s and I t punished the goats: 
 for Jehovah of hosts *hath visited his 
 flock the house of Judah, and 'hath made 
 them 4 like his goodly horse in the battle. 
 
 4 6 From him came forth the 6 chief, from 
 him ! the T prince, from him the battle-bow, 
 8 from him every oppressor together. 
 
 5 If And they shall be 9 like mighty men, 
 who "tread down their enemies in the mire 
 of the streets in the battle : and they shall 
 fight, because Jehovah is with them, and 
 lithe riders on horses shall be confounded. 
 
 6 And I will strengthen the house of 
 Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, 
 and "I will bring them again to place them; 
 for I "have mercy on them : and they shall 
 be as though I had not cast them off': for 
 I am Jehovah their God, and p will hear 
 them. 
 
 7 And those of Ephraim shall be like a 
 mighty man, and their «heart shall rejoice 
 as through wine: ,0 and their children shall 
 see it, and be glad ; their heart shall re- 
 joice in Jehovah. 
 
 8 I will r hiss for them, and gather them ; 
 for I have redeemed them : 'and they shall 
 increase as they "did increase. 
 
 9 And 'I will sow them among the peo- 
 ple : and they shall "remember me in far 
 countries; and they shall live with their 
 children, and turn again. 
 
 10 *I will bring them 12 back also '"from 
 the land of Egypt, and gather them "from 
 Assyria; and I will bring them into the 
 land of Gilead and Lebanon; and yls room 
 shall not be found for them. 
 
 11 'And he shall pass through the sea 
 with affliction, and shall smite the waves 
 in the sea, and all the "depths of the river 
 shall dry up: and "the pride of Assyria 
 shall be brought down, and the sceptre of 
 Egypt shall depart away. 
 
 12 And I will strengthen them in Jeho- 
 vah; and they shall walk up and down in 
 his name, saith Jehovah. 
 
 CHAPTER XI. 
 
 1 The destruction of Jerusalem. 3 The elect being 
 cared for, the rest are rejected. 10 The staves of 
 Beauty and Sands broken by the rejection of Christ. 
 15 The type and curse of a foolish shepherd. 
 
 OPEN "thy doors, O Lebanon, that the 
 fire may devour thy cedars. 
 
 2 Howl, 'cypress-tree, for the cedar is 
 fallen ; because the 2 princes are destroyed : 
 howl, O ye oaks of Bashan; 'for ||the forest 
 of the vintage is come down. 
 
 3 f There is a voice of the howling of the 
 shepherds ; for their glory is Mestroyed : 
 
 625 
 
Christ's care for thejlock. 
 
 a voice of the roaring of young lions ; for 
 the pride of Jordan is destroyed. 
 
 4 Thus saith Jehovah my God; 'Feed 
 the flock of the slaughter; 
 
 5 Whose possessors slay them, and d hold 
 themselves not guilty: and those who sell 
 them ' say, Blessed he Jehovah ; for I am 
 rich : and their own shepherds pity them 
 not. 
 
 6 For I will no more pity the inhabitants 
 of the land, saith Jehovah : but lo, I will 
 tdeliver the men every one into his neigh- 
 bour's hand, and into the hand of his king : 
 and they shall smite the land, and 6 from 
 their hand I will not deliver them. 
 
 7 And I will -Teed the flock of slaughter, 
 IJeven you, s O poor of the flock. And I 
 took to myself two staves ; the one I called 
 Beauty, and the other I called ||Bands; and 
 I fed the flock. 
 
 8 Three shepherds also I cut off" *in one 
 month; and my soul tloathed them, and 
 their soul also abhorred me. 
 
 9 Then said I, I will not feed you : 'that 
 which dieth, let it die ; and that which is 
 to be cut off", let it be cut off; and let the 
 rest eat, every one the flesh tof another. 
 
 10 If And I took my staff", even Beauty, 
 and cut it asunder, that I might break my 
 covenant which I had made with all the 
 people. 
 
 11 And it was broken in that day: and 
 ||so Hhe poor of the flock that 'watched me 
 knew that it was the word of Jehovah. 
 
 12 And I said to them, tlf ye think good, 
 give me my 8 hire ; and if not, forbear. So 
 they 'weighed for my 9 hire thirty 10 shekels 
 of silver. 
 
 13 And Jehovah said to me, Cast it to 
 the "potter : a "splendid price that I was 
 prized at 12 by them. And I took the thirty 
 ^shekels of silver, and cast them to the 
 potter in the house of Jehovah. 
 
 14 Then I cut asunder mine other staff", 
 even ||Bands, that I might break the bro- 
 therhood between Judah and Israel. 
 
 15 If And Jehovah said to me, "Take to 
 thyself yet the instruments of a foolish 
 shepherd. 
 
 16 For lo, I will raise up a shepherd in 
 the land, who shall not visit those that 
 ,4 are ||cut off", neither shall seek the young 
 one, nor heal that which is broken, nor 
 Hfeed that which standeth 15 firmly : but he 
 shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their 
 ,6 hoofs in pieces. 
 
 17 "Wo to the "worthless shepherd who 
 leaveth the flock ! the sword shall be on 
 his arm, and on his right eye: his arm shall 
 be 18 quite dried up, and his right eye shall 
 be utterly 19 bedimmed. 
 
 CHAPTER XII. 
 
 1 Jerusalem a cup of trembling to herself, 3 and a 
 burdensome stone to her adversaries. 6 The vic- 
 torious restoring of Judah. 9 The repentance of 
 Jerusalem. 
 
 THE burden of the word of Jehovah 
 'concerning Israel , saith Jehovah, "who 
 stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth 
 the foundation of the earth, and J formeth 
 the spirit of man within him. 
 
 2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem c a cup

 lem e a burdensome stone for all people: 
 all that burden themselves with it shall be

 of the earth be gathered 6 against it. 
 
 4 In that day, saith Jehovah, 'I will 
 smite every horse with 'consternation, and . 
 his rider with madness : and I will open - 
 mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and I 
 will smite every horse of the people with 
 blindness. 
 
 5 And the 8 chiefs of Judah shall say in 
 their heart, ||The inhabitants of Jerusalem 
 shall be my strength in Jehovah of hosts 
 their God. 
 
 6 If In that day will I make the "chiefs 
 of Judah *like a I0 fire-pan among the wood, 
 and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they 
 shall devour all the people "around, on the 
 right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem 
 shall be inhabited again in her own place, 
 even in Jerusalem. 
 
 7 Jehovah also Iz will save the tents of 
 Judah first, that the glory of the house of 
 David and the glory of the inhabitants of 
 Jerusalem 13 may not magnify themselves 
 against Judah. 
 
 8 In that day shall Jehovah defend the 
 inhabitants of Jerusalem; and A he who is 
 lltfeeble among them at that day shall be 
 "like David ; and the house of David shall 
 be 15 like God, 16 like the angel of Jehovah 
 before them. 
 
 9 If And it shall come to pass in that day, 
 that I will seek to ; destroy all the nations 
 who come against Jerusalem. 
 
 10 'And I will pour upon the house of 
 David, and upon the inhabitants of Jeru- 
 salem, the spirit of "prayer and of suppli- 
 cations: and they shall 'look 18 to me whom 
 they have pierced, and they shall mourn 
 for him, OT as one mourneth for his only son, 
 and shall be in bitterness for him, as one 
 who is in bitterness for his first-born. 
 
 11 In that day shall there be a great 
 "mourning in Jerusalem, ° I9 like the mourn- 
 ing of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Me- 
 giddon. 
 
 12 p And the land shall mourn, t every 
 family apart; the family of the house of 
 David apart, and their wives apart; the 
 family of the house of 'Nathan apart, and 
 their wives apart ; 
 
 13 The family of the house of Levi apart, 
 and their wives apart ; the family ||of Shimei 
 apart, and their wives apart ; 
 
 14 All the families that remain, every 
 family apart, and their wives apart. 
 
 CHAPTER XIII. 
 
 1 The fountain of purgation for Jerusalem, 2 from 
 idolatry, and false prophecy. 7 The death of Christ, 
 and the trial of a third part. 
 
 N "that day there shall be *a fountain 
 
 I 
 
 opened to the house of David and to 
 the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and 
 for tuncleanness. 
 
 2 If And it shall come to pass in that day, 
 saith Jehovah of hosts, that I will c cut off 
 the names of the idols out of the land, and 
 they shall no more be remembered : and 
 also I will cause d the prophets and the un- 
 clean spirit to pass out of the land. 
 
 3 And it shall come to pass, that when 
 any shall yet prophesy, then his father and 
 his mother who begot him shall say to him, 
 Thou shalt not live; for thou speakest lies 
 in the name of Jehovah : ana his father 
 
Christ's death foretold. 
 
 and his mother that begot him 'shall thrust 
 him through when he prophesieth. 
 
 4 And it shall come to pass in that day, 
 that 'the prophets shall be ashamed every 
 one of his vision, when he hath prophesied; 
 neither shall they wear «a 'hairy garment 
 tto deceive : 
 
 5 *But he shall say, I am no prophet, I 
 am a husbandman ; for man taught me to 
 keep cattle from my youth. 
 
 6 And one shall say to him, What are 
 these wounds 3 in thy hands? Then he 
 shall answer, Those with which I was 
 wounded in the house of my friends. 
 
 7 If Awake, sword, against 'my Shep- 
 herd, and against the man *who is my 
 4 companion, saith Jehovah of hosts : 'smite 
 the Shepherd, and the sheep shall be scat- 
 tered ; and I will turn my hand 6 against 
 '"the little ones. 
 
 8 And it shall come to pass, that in all 
 the land, saith Jehovah, two parts therein 
 shall be cut off and die; "but the third 
 shall be left therein. 
 
 9 And I will bring the third part "through 
 the fire, and will p refine them as silver is 
 refined, and will try them as gold is tried : 
 'they shall call on my name, and I will 
 6 answer them : r I will say, It is my people ; 
 and they shall say, Jehovah is my God. 
 
 CHAPTER XIV. 
 
 1 The destroyers of Jerusalem destroyed. 4 The 
 coming of Christ, and the graces of his kingdom. 
 12 The plague of Jerusalem's enemies. 16 The 
 remnant shall turn to the Lord, 20 and their spoils 
 shall be holy. 
 
 BEHOLD, "the day of Jehovah cometh, 
 and thy spoil shall be divided in the 
 midst of thee. 
 
 2 For b I will gather all nations against 
 Jerusalem to battle ; and the city shall be 
 taken, and the houses rifled, and the wo- 
 men 'violated ; and half of the city shall 
 go forth into captivity, and the residue of 
 the people shall not be cut off from the 
 city. 
 
 3 Then shall Jehovah go forth, and fight 
 against those nations, as when he fought 
 in the day of battle. 
 
 i 4 If And his feet shall stand in that day d on 
 the mount of Olives, which is before Jeru- 
 salem on the east, and the mount of Olives 
 shall 2 be divided in the midst thereof to- 
 wards the east and towards the west, 'and 
 there shall be a very great valley; and half 
 of the mountain shall remove towards the 
 north, and half of it towards the south. 
 
 5 And ye shall flee to the valley of ||the 
 mountains; ||for the valley of the moun- 
 tains shall reach to Azal : yea, ye shall 
 flee 3 as ye fled from before the 'earth- 
 
 auake in the days of Uzziah king of Ju- 
 ah : *and Jehovah my God shall come, 
 and ''all the saints with thee. 
 
 6 And it shall come to pass in that day, 
 \\that the light shall not be t 'bright "and 
 tdusky : 
 
 7 But, ||it shall be "one day *which shall 
 be known to Jehovah, not day, nor night : 
 but it shall come to pass, that at 'evening 
 time it shall be light.

 8 And it shall be in that day, that living 
 "•waters shall go 6 forth from Jerusalem; 
 half of them towards the 6 eastern sea, and 
 half of them towards the 'western sea: in 
 summer and in winter shall it be. 
 
 9 And Jehovah shall be "King over all 
 the earth: in that day shall there be "one 
 Jehovah, and his name one. 
 
 10 All the land shall be ||turned p as a 
 plain from Geba to Rimmon, south of Je- 
 rusalem : and it shall be lifted up, and 
 «||inhabited in its place, from Benjamin's 
 gate to the place of the first gate, to the 
 corner-gate, "and from the tower of Hana- 
 neel to the king's wine-presses. 
 
 11 And men shall dwell in it, and there 
 shall be "no more utter destruction; 'but 
 Jerusalem ||shall be safely inhabited. 
 
 12 Tf And this shall be the plague where- 
 with Jehovah will smite all the people that 
 have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh 
 shall consume away while they stand on 
 their feet, and their eyes shall consume 
 away in their 'sockets, and their tongue 
 shall consume away in their mouth. 
 
 13 And it shall come to pass in that day, 
 that "a great tumult from Jehovah shall 
 be among them; and they shall 9 seize 
 every one 10 the hand of his neighbour, 
 and *his hand shall rise up against the 
 hand of his neighbour. 
 
 14 And ||Judah also shall fight ||at Jeru- 
 salem ; y and the wealth of all the heathen 
 round about shall be gathered together, 
 gold, and silver, and apparel, in great 
 abundance. 
 
 15 And z so shall be the plague of the 
 horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of 
 the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be 
 in these "camps, like this plague. 
 
 16 If And it shall come to pass, that every 
 one that is left of all the nations who came 
 against Jerusalem, shall even "go up from 
 year to year to worship the King, Jeho- 
 vah of hosts, and to keep ''the feast of 
 lz booths. 
 
 17 "And it shall be, that whoever will 
 not come up ot all the families of the earth 
 to Jerusalem to worship the King, Jehovah 
 of hosts, even on them shall be no rain. 
 
 18 And if the family of Egypt go not up, 
 and come not, fthat have no rain; there 
 shall be the plague, wherewith Jehovah 
 will smite the "nations who come not up 
 to keep the feast of "booths. 
 
 19 This shall be the || punishment of 
 Egypt, and the punishment of all nations 
 that come not up to keep the feast of 
 16 booths. 
 
 20 If In that day shall there be on the 
 Hbells of the horses, " 6 HOLINESS TO 
 JEHOVAH ; and the pots in Jehovah's 
 house shall be like the bowls before the 
 altar. 
 
 21 Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in 
 Judah shall be holiness to Jehovah of 
 hosts: and all those who sacrifice shall 
 come and take 'some' of them, and "boil 
 therein : and in that day there shall be no 
 more the 'Canaanite in ff the house of Je- 
 hovah of hosts.

 Israel tby Malachi. 
 
 2 °I have loved you, saith Jehovah. Yet 
 ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us ? Was 
 not Esau Jacob's brother ? saith Jehovah : 
 yet 'I loved Jacob, 
 
 3 And I hated Esau, and c laid his moun- 
 tains and his heritage waste for the 'jackals 
 of the "desert. 
 
 4 Whereas Edom saith, We are 'broken 
 in pieces, but we will return and build the 
 desolate places; thus saith Jehovah of 
 hosts, They "may build, but I will throw 
 down; and they shall call them, The 
 s region of wickedness, and, The people 
 against whom Jehovah 6 is angry for ever. 
 
 5 And your eyes shall see, and ye shall 
 say, ''Jehovah will be magnified Htfrom 
 the border of Israel. 
 
 6 1[ A son e honoureth his father, and a 
 servant his master : f i( then I be a father, 
 where is my honour? and if I be a master, 
 where is my fear ? saith Jehovah of hosts 
 to you, priests, who despise my name. 
 fAnd ye say, Wherein have we despised 
 thy name ? 
 
 7 || Ye offer ^polluted bread on mine altar; 
 and ye say, Wherein have we polluted 
 thee ? 'By your saying, 'The table of Je- 
 hovah is contemptible. 
 
 8 And *if ye offer the blind tfor sacrifice, 
 is it not evil ? and if ye offer the lame and 
 sick, is it not evil ? offer it now to thy go- 
 vernor ; will he be pleased with thee, or 
 'accept thy person ? saith Jehovah of hosts. 
 
 9 And now, I pray you, beseech tGod 
 that he will be 8 kind to us: ""this hath 
 been tby your means : will he regard your 
 persons ? saith Jehovah of hosts. 
 
 10 Who is there even among you that 
 would shut the doors for "nothing? "nei- 
 ther do ye kindle fire on mine altar for 
 '"nothing. I have no pleasure in you, saith 
 Jehovah of hosts, "neither will I accept 
 an offering "from your hand. 
 
 11 For, 'from the rising of the sun even 
 to the going down of the same, my name 
 shall be great 'among the Gentiles ; 'and in 
 every place 'incense shall be offered to my 
 name, and a pure offering: 'for my name 
 shall be great among the I2 Gentiles, saith 
 Jehovah of hosts. 
 
 12_f But ye have profaned it, I3 by your 
 saying, "The table of Jehovah is polluted ; 
 and the fruit thereof, even his "food, is 
 contemptible. 
 
 13 Ye said also, Behold, what a weari- 
 ness is it J Hand ye have snuffed at it, saith 
 Jehovah of hosts ; and ye brought that 
 which was torn, and the lame, and the 
 sick; thus ye brought an offering: 'should 
 I accept this !5 from your hand ? saith Je- 
 hovah. 
 
 14 But cursed be "the deceiver, ||who 
 hath in his flock a male, and voweth, and 
 sacrificeth to the "Lord a corrupt thing: 
 for *I am a great King, saith Jehovah of 
 hosts, and my name is dreadful among the

 AND now, O ye priests, this command- 
 ment is for you. 
 
 2 "If ye will not hear, and if ye will not 
 lay it to heart, to give glory to my name, 
 saith Jehovah of hosts, I will even send a 
 curse upon you, and I will curse your 
 blessings; yea, I have cursed them al- 
 ready, because ye do not lay it to heart. 
 
 3 Behold, I will 'rebuke your seed, and 
 "scatter ordure on your faces, even the 
 3 ordure of your solemn feasts; and ||one 
 shall 'take you away with it. 
 
 4 And ye shall know that I have sent 
 this commandment to you, that my cove- 
 nant might be with Levi, saith Jehovah 
 of hosts. 
 
 5 c My covenant was with him of life and 
 peace; and I gave them to him d for the 
 fear wherewith he feared me, and was 
 4 humbled before my name. 
 
 6 'The 5 law of truth was in his mouth, 
 and iniquity was not found in his lips : he 
 walked with me in peace and equity, and 
 did •''turn many away from iniquity. 
 
 7 ^For the priest's lips should keep know- 
 ledge, and they should seek 6 the law at his 
 mouth : ''for he is the messenger of Jeho- 
 vah of hosts. 
 
 8 But ye 7 have departed 8 from the way; 
 ye 'have caused many to Hstumble at the 
 law ; *ye have corrupted the covenant of 
 Levi, saith Jehovah of hosts. 
 
 9 Therefore 'have I also made you con- 
 temptible and base before all the people, 
 according as ye have not kept my ways, 
 but Hthave been partial in the law. 
 
 10 m Have we not all one father? "hath 
 not one God created us ? why do we deal 
 treacherously 9 each man against his bro- 
 ther, by profaning the covenant of our 
 fathers ? 
 
 11 If Judah hath dealt treacherously, and 
 an abomination is committed in Israel and 
 in Jerusalem; for Judah hath profaned the 
 holiness of Jehovah which he ||loved, "and 
 hath married the daughter of a strange god. 
 • 12 Jehovah will cut off the man who doeth 
 this, ||the master and the scholar, '"from the 
 tents of Jacob, ^and him who offereth an 
 offering to Jehovah of hosts. 
 
 13 And this have ye done again, covering 
 the al tar of Jehovah with tears, with weep- 
 ing, and with "shrieking, insomuch that he 
 regardeth not the offering any more, or re- 
 ceiveth it with good will l2 from your hand. 
 
 14 If Yet ye say, Wherefore ? Because 
 Jehovah hath ''testified between thee and 
 'the wife of thy youth, against whom thou 
 hast dealt treacherously: r yet is she thy 
 companion, and the wife of thy covenant. 
 
 15 And 'did not he make one ? Yet had 
 he the ||residue of the Spirit. And where- 
 fore one? That he might seek t'a godly 
 seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, 
 and let M no one deal Htreacherously against 
 the wife of his youth. 
 
 1G For "Jehovah, the God of Israel, saith, 
 ||that he hateth t putting away: for one 
 
Christ's forerunner and coming. 
 
 covereth 15 wrong with his garment, saith 
 Jehovah of hosts : therefore take heed to 
 your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously. 
 17 H *Ye have wearied Jehovah with your 
 words. Yet ye say, Wherein have we wea- 
 ried him? When ye say. Every one who 
 doeth evil is good in the sight of Jehovah, 
 and he delighteth in them ; or, Where is 
 the God of judgment ? 
 
 CHAPTER HI. 
 
 1 Of the messenger, majesty, and grace of Christ. 
 7 Of the rebellion, 8 sacrilege, 13 and infidelity of 
 the people. 16 The promise of blessing to them 
 that fear God. 
 
 BEHOLD, °I will send my messenger, 
 and he shall 'prepare the way before 
 me : and the 'Lord, whom ye seek, shall 
 suddenly come to his temple, 'even the 
 messenger of the covenant, whom ye de- 
 light in: behold, d he shall come, saith Je- 
 hovah of hosts.

 3 And 'he shall sit Hike a refiner and 
 purifier of silver : and he shall purify the 
 sons of Levi, and 4 cleanse them like gold 
 and silver, that they may 'offer to Jehovah 
 an offering in righteousness. 
 
 4 Then 'shall the offering of Judah and 
 Jerusalem be pleasant to Jehovah, as in 
 the days of old, and as in 5 ancient years. 
 
 5 And I will come near to you 6 for judg- 
 ment: and I will be a swift witness against 
 the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, 
 'and against false swearers, and against 
 those who 'defraud the hireling in his 
 wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and 
 that turn aside the stranger from his right, 
 and fear not me, saith Jehovah of hosts. 
 
 6 For I am the Lord, m I change not;

 sumed. 
 
 7 If Even from the days of "your fathers 
 ye 8 have gone away from mine ordinances,

 return ?

 robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we 
 robbed thee. ? r In tithes and offerings.

 robbed me, even this whole nation. 
 
 10 'Bring ye all the tithes into 'the store- 
 house, that there may be 9 food in my house, 
 and 10 try me now "with this, saith Jehovah 
 of hosts, l2 whether I will not open 'for' you 
 the "windows of heaven, and t*pour you 
 out a blessing, 'so' that there shall not be 
 room enough to receive it.

 we spoken 15 against thee ? 
 
 14 'Ye have said, It is vain to serve God : 
 and what profit is it that we have kept his 
 16 charge, and that we have walked tmourn- 
 fully before Jehovah of hosts? 
 
 15 And now 'we call the proud happy ; 
 yea, those who work wickedness are "built 
 up ; yea, those who d tempt God are even 
 delivered. 
 
 16 If Then those 'who feared Jehovah 
 'spoke often one to another: and Jehovah 
 hearkened, and heard it : and s a book of 
 remembrance was written before him for 
 those who feared Jehovah, and that thought 
 on his name. 
 
 17 And 'they shall be mine, saith Jeho- 
 vah of hosts, in that day when I make up 
 my || 'jewels; and *I will spare them, as a 
 man spareth his 18 son who serveth him.

 tween the righteous and the wicked, be- 
 tween him who serveth God and him who 
 serveth him not. 
 
 CHAPTER IV. 
 
 1 God's judgment on the wicked, 2 and his blessing 
 on the good. 4 He exhorteth to the study of the 
 law, 5 and telleth of Elijah's coming and office. 
 
 FOR behold, "the day cometh, which 
 shall burn 'like an oven ; and all 'the 
 Eroud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall 
 e 'stubble : and the day which cometh shall 
 burn them up, saith Jehovah of hosts, 'so' 
 that it shall d leave them neither root nor 
 branch. 
 
 2 U But to you who 'fear my name, shall 
 the 'Sun of righteousness arise with heal- 
 ing in his wings; and ye shall go z out, and 
 grow up 3 like calves of the stall. 
 
 3 ? And ye shall tread down the wicked ; 
 for they shall be ashes under the soles of 
 your feet in the day 4 when I shall do this, 
 saith Jehovah of hosts. 
 
 4 f Remember ye the 'law of Moses my 
 servant, which I commanded to him *in 
 Horeb for all Israel, with 'the Ordinances 
 and judgments. 
 
 5 t Behold, I will send you 'Elijah the 
 prophet "before the coming of the great 
 and dreadful day of Jehovah : 
 
 6 And he shall turn the heart of the 
 fathers to the children, and the heart of 
 the children to their fathers, lest I come 
 and "smite the earth with °a curse.

PREFACE TO THE NEW TESTAMENT. 
 
 In submitting to the public the present revised version 
 of the New Testament, the editor would briefly state the 
 plan on which he has proceeded. It has by no means 
 been his aim to produce a work which should meet all 
 the expectations of the biblical scholar. He has rather 
 aimed only to make such changes as seemed most obvi- 
 ously necessary. By a close and careful comparison of 
 the common version with the original, as well as by con- 
 sulting some of the best translations and commentators, 
 he has endeavoured to detect and rectify the most import- 
 ant errors, as well as to clear up what was obscure. He 
 has removed words either obsolete or employed in obso- 
 lete significations, has lopped off redundancies, and en- 
 deavoured to render the style more neat, compact, per- 
 spicuous, and forcible. How far he has succeeded in 
 this, must be left to the judgment of others. 
 
 But, while doing this, he has endeavoured to make no 
 change in the essential structure of the English version. 
 A simple, unadorned style he believes to be the only 
 garb in which a correct taste will ever allow the sacred 
 writers to appear. The writer has been accustomed to 
 regard the common version with respect approaching to 
 reverence, and he can truly say that the close scrutiny 
 which the present work has compelled him to make, 
 while it has disclosed more numerous and more glaring 
 defects than he had before perceived or suspected, has 
 also increased his sense and admiration of its numerous 
 and extraordinary excellences. Not unfrequently, in- 
 deed, the language seems to him to possess a richness, 
 depth, simplicity, and majesty, which place it beyond the 
 reach of improvement. Still, in other instances, this is 
 far from being the case. While some portions are trans- 
 lated tersely, perspicuously, elegantly, others betray a 
 far inferior and clumsier hand. Indeed, nothing can 
 more forcibly strike the attentive reader of the common 
 version of the New Testament, than the great inequality 
 in the style and merit of its execution. That this in- 
 equality should be in a measure removed, and a degree 
 of uniformity introduced into the work; that it should 
 bear in general the impress of a single mind, or at least 
 indicate the uniform application of the same principles 
 of translation, is obviously desirable. This has been to 
 a considerable extent attempted in the present work. 
 Yet to what extent uniformity should be carried, how 
 far the same words and phrases when recurring should 
 be rendered in the same manner, is a question whose 
 right decision requires much judgment and taste on the 
 part of the translator. In a series of productions like the 
 various narratives and epistles of the New Testament, 
 written by different persons, in widely different circum- 
 stances, in different countries, and at intervals of many 
 years, the same words and phrases cannot be supposed 
 to have retained uniformly the same signification. That 
 
 the words rendered church, gospel, preach, and many 
 others, would assume gradually new shades of meaning, 
 will readily be believed by him who observes the striking 
 and extensive outward changes brought about by Chris- 
 tianity, and who remembers with what quickness and 
 pliancy language adapts itself to all the circumstances 
 and wants of man. A translator, then, must be permit- 
 ted to exercise in such matters a large discretion, control- 
 led, indeed, by knowledge, judgment, and taste. On 
 this point the author of the present revision will only say 
 that he has endeavoured to preserve a due medium 
 between the too little and the too much ; not shrinking 
 from any alterations which seemed in any respect sub- 
 stantial improvements, nor making any from the mere 
 spirit of innovation. A few alterations which he would 
 have made he has forborne from deference to the judg- 
 ment of others, especially to the wishes of the proprietor 
 of the work, while others, to which the author felt dis- 
 inclined, have been admitted for the same reason. 
 
 The author is not aware that the charge of sectarianism 
 can justly be urged against the present revised version. 
 If he knows his own heart, he has not the least disposi- 
 tion to tamper with the word of God for such unworthy 
 purposes. The plan projected by the proprietor of the 
 work, and the only one which the editor would have been 
 willing to adopt, was to translate, as far as practicable, 
 in a faithful manner, all the words of the original. 
 Acting in conformity with this principle, he may not 
 have succeeded in securing the entire approval of any 
 single religious sect. Some may censure him for ren- 
 dering and Mans "from the water," instead of " out of the 
 xuater." He can only reply that he followed his own 
 deliberate convictions as to the import of the Greek ex- 
 pression. Others again may regard the rendering of 
 /JaTTTi'lo) by immerse as unwarrantable. To this he would 
 say, that with the testimony of nearly all the best lexico- 
 graphers and Paedobaptist commentators on his side, with 
 the uniform usage of classic Greek in his favour, and 
 having never seen an instance in which /3anTiga> could not 
 be most naturally understood, either as having the mean- 
 ing of immerse, or a meaning legitimately derived from 
 this and based upon it, he had no other course than to 
 follow his deliberate judgment, coinciding as it did 
 with that of nearly the whole learned world. He 
 would only add, that he has given to /Jcwre'lco the best 
 rendering which the word admits. He will feel greatly 
 obliged to any who shall suggest a better. 
 
 In conclusion, the editor would, with unfeigned diffi- 
 dence, submit his work to an intelligent and candid pub- 
 lic, earnestly hoping and praying that it may promote the 
 knowledge of biblical truth, and thus prove subservient 
 to the great interests of piety.

IT THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO MATTHEW. 
 
 CHAPTER I. 
 
 1 The genealogy of Christ from Abraham to Joseph. 
 18 He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, and born 
 of the Virgin Mary when she was espoused to 
 Joseph. 19 The angel satisfieth the misdeeming 
 thoughts of Joseph, and interpreteth the names of 
 Christ. 
 
 THE "genealogy of Jesus Christ, *the 
 son of David, e the son of Abraham. 
 
 2 ^Abraham begot Isaac ; and 'Isaac be- 
 got Jacob; and 'Jacob begot Judah and 
 his brethren ; 
 
 3 And *Judah begot Pharez and Zarah 
 by Tamar; and A Pharez begot Hezron; 
 and Hezron begot Ram ; 
 
 4 And Ram begot Aminadab ; and Ami- 
 nadab begot Nahshon; and Nahshon be- 
 got Salmon ; 
 
 5 And Salmon begot Boaz by Rahab; 
 and Boaz begot Obed by Ruth ; and Obed 
 begot Jesse ; 
 
 6 And 'Jesse begot David the king ; and 
 "David the king begot Solomon by her who 
 had been the wife of Uriah ; 
 
 7 And 'Solomon begot Rehoboam; and 
 Rehoboam begot Abia; and Abia begot 
 Asa; 
 
 8 And Asa begot Jehoshaphat; and Je- 
 hoshaphat begot Joram ; and Joram begot 
 Uzziah ; 
 
 9 And Uzziah begot Jotham; and Jo- 
 tham begot Ahaz ; and Ahaz begot Heze- 
 kiah ; 
 
 10 And m Hezekiah begot Manasseh ; and 
 Manasseh begot Anion ; and Amon begot 
 Josiah ; 
 
 11 And || "Josiah begot Jechoniah and his 
 brethren, at the time of the "removal to 
 Babylon : 
 
 12 And after the removal to Babylon, 
 J'Jechoniah begot Salathiel ; and Salathiel 
 begot 'Zerubbabel ; 
 
 13 And Zerubbabel begot Abiud; and 
 Abiud begot Eliakim ; and Eliakim begot 
 Hazor ; 
 
 14 And Hazor begot Zadok ; and Zadok 
 begot Achim ; and Achim begot Eliud ; 
 
 15 And Eliud begot Eleazar ; and Elea- 
 zar begot Matthan; and Matthan begot 
 Jacob ; 
 
 16 And Jacob begot Joseph the husband 
 of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is 
 called || Christ. 
 
 17 So all the generations from Abraham 
 to David are fourteen generations; and 
 from David until the removal to Babylon, 
 fourteen generations ; and from the re- 
 moval to Babylon until Christ, fourteen 
 generations. 
 
 18 If Now the 'birth of Jesus Christ was 
 thus. His mother Mary being espoused to 
 Joseph, before they came together, she was 
 found with child 'by the Holy Spirit. 
 
 19 And Joseph her husband, being a just 
 man, and not wishing 'to expose her, was 
 inclined to put her away secretly. 
 
 20 But while he thought upon this, be- 
 hold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him 
 in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David,

 fear not to take to thee Mary thy wife: 
 "for that which is tconceived in her is of 
 the Holy Spirit. 
 
 21 x And she shall bear a son, and thou 
 shalt call his name ||JESUS : for "he will 
 save his people from their sins. 
 
 22 (Now all this took place, that it might 
 be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord 
 through the prophet, saying, 
 
 23 *fiehold, the virgin shall be with child, 
 and shall bear a son, and llthey shall call 
 his name Immanuel, which, interpreted, 
 is, God with us.) 
 
 24 And Joseph, having risen from sleep, 
 did as the angel of the Lord had bidden 
 him, and took to him his wife : 
 
 25 And knew her not till she had brought 
 forth "her first-born son : and he called his 
 name JESUS. 
 
 CHAPTER II. 
 
 1 The Magians from the east are directed to Christ 
 by a star. 1 1 They do him homage and offer their 
 presents. 14 Joseph fleeth into Egypt, with Jesus 
 and his mother. 16 Herod slayeth the children: 
 20 himself dicth. 23 Christ is brought back into 
 Galilee to Nazareth. 
 
 NOW ° Jesus being born in Bethle- 
 hem of Judea in the days of Herod 
 the king, behold, ||Magians from the east 
 came to Jerusalem, 
 
 2 Saying, 'Where is the new-born King 
 of the Jews ? for we have seen d his star in 
 the east, and are come to do him homage. 
 
 3 And Herod the king hearing it, was 
 troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. 
 
 4 And assembling all 'the chief priests 
 and 'scribes of the people, g he inquired of 
 them where the Christ should be born. 
 
 5 And they said to him, In Bethlehem 
 of Judea: for thus it is written by the 
 prophet, 
 
 6 *And thou Bethlehem, in the land of 
 Judah, art by no means the least among 
 the leaders of Judah: for from thee shall 
 come a Ruler, ' who will be a shepherd 
 to my people Israel. 
 
 7 Then Herod, secretly calling the Ma- 
 gians, inquired of them exactly the time 
 when the star appeared. 
 
 8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and 
 said, Go, and make strict inquiry concern- 
 ing the child ; and when ye have found 
 him, bring me word again, that I also may 
 come and do him homage. 
 
 9 And having heard the king, they de- 
 parted ; and lo, the star, which they saw 
 in the east, went before them, till it came 
 and stood ov^r where the child was. 
 
 10 And on seeing the star, they rejoiced 
 with very great joy. 
 
 11 ^f And going into the house, they 
 saw the child with Mary his mother, and 
 fell down, and did him homage: and open- 
 ing their treasures, *they Hpresented to him 
 gifts ; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. 
 
 12 And being warned 'in a dream not to 
 return to Herod, they departed by another 
 way into their own country. 
 
 13 And when they were departed, be- 
 
 1 
 
Herod'' s massacre of the children. 
 
 hold, an angel of the Lord appeared to 
 Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, take the 
 child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, 
 and remain there until I bring thee word : 
 for Herod is about to seek the child to 
 destroy him. 
 
 14 And he arose, and took the child and 
 his mother by night, and departed into 
 Egypt : 
 
 15 And was there until the death of 
 Herod: that it might be fulfilled which 
 was spoken by the Lord through the pro- 
 phet, saying, m Out of Egypt I called my 
 Son. 
 
 16 If Then Herod, seeing that he was de- 
 ceived by the Magians, was exceedingly 
 angry, and sent forth, and slew all the 
 male children in Bethlehem, and in all its 
 borders, from two years old and under, 
 according to the time which he had learn- 
 ed exactly from the Magians. 
 
 17 Then was fulfilled that which was 
 spoken "by Jeremiah the prophet, say- 
 ing, 
 
 18 A voice was heard in Ramah, mourn- 
 ing, and weeping, and loud lamentation, 
 Rachel weeping ibr her children, and she 
 would not be consoled, because they are 
 not. 
 
 19 If But, when Herod was dead, behold, 
 an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream 
 to Joseph in Egypt, 
 
 20 Saying, Arise, and take the child and 
 his mother, and go into the land of Israel : 
 for they are dead who sought the child's 
 life. 
 
 21 And he arose, and took the child and 
 his mother, and came into the land of 
 Israel. 
 
 22 But hearing that Archelaus was reign- 
 ing in Judea instead of his father Herod, 
 he was afraid to go thither: and being 
 warned in a dream, he retired "into the 
 region of Galilee : 
 
 23 And he came and dwelt in a city 
 called ''Nazareth: that it might be ful- 
 filled 'which was spoken by the prophets, 
 He shall be called a Nazarene. 
 
 CHAPTER III. 
 
 1 John preacheth : his office : life, and immersion. 
 1 He reprehendeth the Pharisees, 13 and immerseth 
 Christ in Jordan. 
 
 IN those days came "John the Baptist, 
 proclaiming *in the desert of Judea, 
 
 2 And saying, Repent ; for 'the kingdom 
 of heaven is at hand. 
 
 3 For this is he that was spoken of by the 
 prophet Isaiah, saying, d The voice or one 
 crying in the desert, 'Prepare the way 
 of the Lord ! make straight his paths ! 
 
 4 And 'this John 'had his clothing of 
 camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about 
 his loins; and his food was locusts and 
 'wild honey. 
 
 5 'Then went out to him Jerusalem, and 
 all Judea, and all the region around the 
 Jordan, 
 
 6 'And were immersed by him in the Jor- 
 dan, confessing their sins. 
 
 7 If But seeing many of the Pharisees and 
 Sadducees come to be immersed by him, 
 he said to them, ""Generation of vipers ! 
 who hath warned you to flee from "the 
 coming wrath? 
 
 8 Bring forth therefore fruit worthy of 
 repentance :

 Christ immersed in the Jordan. 
 
 9 And think not to say within yourselves, 
 We have Abraham for our father : for I 
 
 say to you, that God is able from these 
 stones to raise up children to Abraham. 
 
 10 And even now the axe lieth at the 
 root of the trees: 'therefore every tree 
 which beareth not good fruit is cut down, 
 and cast into the fire. 
 
 11 q l indeed immerse you in water to re- 
 pentance : but he that cometh after me is 
 mightier than I, whose shoes I am not wor- 
 thy to bear : r he will immerse you in the 
 Holy Spirit, and fire. 
 
 12 ' His fan is in his hand, and he will 
 thoroughly cleanse his threshing-floor, and 
 will gather his wheat into the garner, but 
 will 'burn up the chaff with unquenchable 
 fire. 
 
 13 ^f "Then cometh Jesus 'from Galilee 
 to the Jordan to John, to be immersed by 
 him. 
 
 14 But John forbade him, saying, I have 
 need to be immersed by thee, and comest 
 thou to me ? 
 
 15 And Jesus answering said to him, Suf- 
 fer it to be so now : for thus it becometh 
 us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he 
 suffered him. 
 
 16 "And Jesus, being immersed, went up 
 immediately from the water : and lo, the 
 heavens were opened to him, and he saw 
 *the Spirit of God descending like a dove, 
 and coming upon him : 
 
 \7 "And fo, a voice from heaven, saying, 
 'This is my beloved Son, in whom I am 
 well pleased. 
 
 CHAPTER IV. 
 
 1 Christ fasteth, and is tempted. 11 The angels 
 minister to him. 13 He dwelleth in Capernaum, 
 17 beginneth to preach, 18 calleth Peter, and An- 
 drew, 21 James, and John, 23 and healeth all the 
 diseased. 
 
 THEN "Jesus was led up by 'the Spirit 
 into the desert to be tempted by 
 the devil. 
 
 2 And having fasted forty days and forty 
 nights, he was afterwards hungry. 
 
 3 And the tempter came to him, and said, 
 If thou art the Son of God, command that 
 these stones become loaves. 
 
 4 But he answered and said, It is writ- 
 ten, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, 
 but by every word that proceedeth from 
 the mouth ot God. 
 
 5 Then the devil taketh him d into the 
 holy city, and placeth him on the pinnacle 
 of the temple, 
 
 6 And saith to him, If thou art the Son 
 of God, cast thyself down, for it is writ- 
 ten, 'He will give his angels charge con- 
 cerning thee : and they will bear thee on 
 their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against 
 a stone. 
 
 7 Jesus said to him, It is written again, 
 'Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. 
 
 8 Again, the devil taketh him into a very 
 high mountain, and sheweth him all the 
 kingdoms of the world, and the glory of 
 them ; 
 
 9 And saith to him, All this I will give 
 thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship 
 me. -"" 
 
 10 Then saith Jesus to him, Get thee 
 hence, Satan! for it is written, 'Thou 
 shalt worship the Lord thy God, and shalt 
 serve him alone.

 Peter, Andrew, James, and John called. CHAPTER V. 
 
 11 Then the devil leaveth him, and be- 
 hold, *angels came and ministered to him. 
 
 12 f 'Now, Jesus hearing that John was 
 Ijcast into prison, departed into Galilee ; 
 
 13 And leaving Nazareth, he came and 
 dwelt in Capernaum, which is on the sea- 
 coast, in the borders of Zebulun and Naph- 
 tali ; 
 
 14 That it might be fulfilled which was 
 spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying, 
 
 15 *The land of Zebulun, and the land 
 of Naphtali, along the sea, beyond the Jor- 
 dan, Galilee of the Gentiles, 
 
 16 ' The people that sat in darkness have 
 seen a great light; and on those who sat in 
 the region ana shades of death, light hath 
 arisen. 
 
 17 U "From that time Jesus began to pro- 
 claim, and to say, "Repent ; for the king- 
 dom of heaven is at hand. 
 
 18 If "And Jesus, walking by the sea of 
 Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon 'called 
 Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a 
 net into the sea ; for they were fishermen. 
 
 19 And he saith to them, Follow me, and 
 *I will make you fishers of men. 
 
 20 "And they immediately left their nets, 
 and followed him. 
 
 21 'And going on from thence, he saw 
 two other brethren, James the son of Ze- 
 bedee, and John his brother, in the ship 
 with Zebedee their father, mending their 
 nets : and he called them. 
 
 22 And they immediately left the ship, 
 and their father, and followed him. 
 
 23 If And Jesus went about all Galilee, 
 'teaching in their synagogues, and pro- 
 claiming "the glad tidings of his kingdom, 
 'and healing every disease and every in- 
 firmity among the people. 
 
 24 And his fame went throughout all 
 Syria: and they brought to him all the 
 sick, those afflicted with various diseases 
 and torments, and demoniacs, and luna- 
 tics, and paralytics ; and he healed them. 
 
 25 "And there followed him great multi- 
 tudes from Galilee, and Decapolis, and 
 Jerusalem, and Judea, and beyond the 
 Jordan.

 I Christ beginneth his sermon in the mount : 3 de-

 earth, 14 the light of the world, the city on a hill, 
 15 the candle : 17 that he came to fulfil the law. 
 21 What it is to kill, 27 to commit adultery, 33 to 
 swear: 38 exhorteth to suffer wrong, 44 to love 
 even our enemies, 48 and to labour after perfect- 
 ness. 
 
 AND seeing the multitudes, °he went up 
 into the mountain : and when he had 
 sat down, his disciples came to him. 
 2 And he opened his mouth, and taught 
 them, saying, 
 
 # 3 *Happy are the poor in spirit : for theirs 
 is the kingdom of heaven. 
 
 4 'Happy they that mourn : for they shall 
 be consoled. 
 
 5 ''Happy the meek : for 'they shall inhe- 
 rit the land. 
 
 6 Happy they that hunger and thirst for 
 righteousness: 'for they shall be satisfied. 
 
 7 Happy the merciful: s for they shall 
 obtain mercy. 
 
 8 *Happy the pure in heart: for 'they 
 shall see God. 
 
 9 Happy the peace-makers : for they shall 
 be called the children of God.

 10 *Happy they who are persecuted on 
 account ot righteousness : for theirs is the 
 kingdom of heaven. 
 
 11 'Happy are ye when men revile and 
 persecute you, and say every m evil thing 
 against you tfalsely, for my sake. 
 
 12 "Rejoice, and exult! for great is your 
 reward in heaven : for "so .they persecuted 
 the prophets who were before you. 
 
 13 If Ye are the salt of the earth : p but if 
 the salt lose its savour, wherewith shall it 
 be salted ? it is thenceforth good for no- 
 thing, but to be cast out, and trampled on 
 by men. 
 
 14 «Ye are the light of the world. A city 
 placed on a mountain cannot be hidden. 
 
 15 Nor do they 'light a lamp, and put 
 it under ||the measure, but on the stand : 
 and it giveth light to all who are in the 
 house. 
 
 16 Thus let your light shine before men, 
 s that they may see your good works, and 
 'glorify your Father who is in heaven. 
 
 17 If "Think not that I am come to de- 
 stroy the law, or the prophets : I am not 
 come to destroy, but to fulfil. 
 
 18 For verily, I say to you, "Till heaven 
 and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall 
 by no means pass from the law, till all be 
 fulfilled. 
 
 19 'Whoever therefore shall break one 
 of the least of these commandments, and 
 shall teach men so, shall be called least in 
 the kingdom of heaven: but whoever shall 
 do, and teach them, he shall be called great 
 in the kingdom of heaven. 
 
 20 For I say to you, That unless your 
 righteousness exceed 'that of the scribes 
 and Pharisees, ye shall by no means enter 
 into the kingdom of heaven. 
 
 21 If Ye have heard that it was said ||by 
 those of old, *Thou shalt not murder ; and 
 whoever shall murder, shall be exposed to 
 the judgment : 
 
 22 But I say to you, That "whoever is 
 angry with his brother without a cause, 
 shall be exposed to the judgment: and 
 whoever shall say to his brother, I^Raca, 
 shall be exposed to the council : and who- 
 ever shall say, Fool, shall be exposed to 
 llhell fire. 
 
 23 c If then thou bringest thy gift to the 
 altar, and there rememberest that thy bro- 
 ther hath aught against thee, 
 
 24 "Leave there thy gift before the 
 altar, and go, first be reconciled with 
 thy brother, and then come and offer thy 
 gift. 
 
 25 'Agree with thine Ijadversary auickly, 
 1 while thou art in the way with him ; lest 
 the adversary deliver thee to the judge, 
 and the judge deliver thee to the officer, 
 and thou be cast into prison. 
 
 26 Verily, I say to thee, Thou wilt by 
 no means come out thence, till thou hast 
 paid the uttermost farthing. 
 
 27 If Ye have heard that it was said by 
 those of old, <Thou shalt not commit adul- 
 tery: 
 
 28 But I say to you, That whoever "look- 
 eth on a woman with impure desire, hath 
 committed adultery with her already in 
 his heart. 
 
 29 "And if thy right eye cause thee to sin, 
 *pluck it out, and cast it from thee : for it 
 is better for thee that one of thy members 
 
Christ's sermon on the mount. 
 
 perish, than that thy whole body be cast 
 into hell. 
 
 30 And if thy right hand cause thee to 
 sin, cut it off, and cast it from thee : for it 
 is better for thee that one of thy members 
 perish, than that thy whole body be cast 
 into hell. 
 
 31 It hath been said, 'whoever shall put 
 away his wife, let him give her a bill of 
 divorcement : 
 
 32 But I say to you, That "whoever shall 
 put away his wife, except for fornication, 
 causeth her to commit adultery: and who- 
 ever marrieth her that is divorced, com- 
 mitteth adultery. 
 
 33 Tf Again, ye have heard that "it hath 
 been said by those of old, "Thou shalt not 
 swear falsely, but p shalt perform to the 
 Lord thine oaths : 
 
 34 But I say to you, 'Swear not at all : 
 neither by heaven; for it is 'the throne of 
 God: 
 
 35 Nor by the earth ; for it is his foot- 
 stool : nor by Jerusalem ; for it is 'the city 
 of the great King : 
 
 36 Nor swear by thy head, because thou 
 canst not make one hair white or black. 
 
 37 'But let your language be, Yea, yea; 
 Nay, nay: for what is more than these 
 cometh of evil. 
 
 38 If Ye have heard that it hath been said, 
 "Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth. 
 
 39 But I say to you, *Resist not the inju- 
 rious : "but whoever shall smite thee on 
 thy right cheek, turn to him also the other. 
 
 40 And if any one will sue thee, and take 
 thy coat, let him also have thy cloak. 
 
 41 And whoever *shall constrain thee to 
 go one 'mile, go with him two. 
 
 42 Give to him who asketh thee, and 
 "from him who would borrow of thee, turn 
 not away. 
 
 43 ^ Ye have heard that it hath been said, 
 Thou shalt love thy neighbour, 'and hate 
 thine enemy: 
 
 44 But I say to you, d Love your enemies, 
 bless those who curse you, do good to 
 those who hate you, and pray 'for those 
 who abuse you, and persecute you ; 
 
 45 That ye may become sons of your 
 Father who is in heaven : for 'he maketh 
 his sun to rise on the evil and the good, 
 and sendeth rain on the just and the un- 
 just. 
 
 46 f For if ye love those who love you, 
 what reward have ye ? do not even the 
 publicans the same ? 
 
 47 And if ye salute your brethren only, 
 what do ye more than others ? do not even 
 the publicans so ? 
 
 48 ''Be ye therefore perfect, even ''as your 
 Father who is in heaven is perfect. 
 
 CHAPTER VI. 
 
 1 Christ continueth his sermon in the mount, speak- 
 ing of alms, 5 prayer, 14 forgiving our brethren, 
 16 fasting, 19 where our treasure is to be laid up, 
 24 of serving God and mammon : 25 exhorteth not 
 to be careful for worldly things: 33 but to seek 
 God's kingdom. 
 
 TAKE heed that ye do not your ||alms 
 before men, to be seen by them : other- 
 wise ye have no reward ||of your Father 
 who is in heaven. 
 
 2 Therefore, "when thou doest alms, ||do 
 not sound a trumpet before thee, as the 
 hypocrites do, in the synagogues and in

 Christ's sermon on the mount, 
 
 the streets, that they may be honoured by 
 men. Verily, I say to you, They have their 
 reward. 
 
 3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy 
 left hand know what thy right hand doeth; 
 
 4 That thine alms may be in secret: and 
 thy Father who seeth in secret, 'will him- 
 self reward thee openly. 
 
 5 If And when thou prayest, thou shalt 
 not be like the hypocrites : for they love 
 to pray standing in the synagogues, and in 
 the corners of the streets, that they may 
 be seen by men. Verily, I say to you, 
 They have their reward. 
 
 6 But thou, when thou prayest, 'enter 
 thy closet, shut thy door, and pray to thy 
 Father who is in secret; and thy Father, 
 who seeth in secret, will reward thee 
 openly. 
 
 7 But in praying, ^use not idle repetitions, 
 as the heathen do: 'for they think that they 
 shall be heard for their much speaking. 
 
 8 Be not therefore like them : for your 
 Father knoweth what things ye have need 
 of before ye ask him. 
 
 9 Thus therefore pray ye: ■'Our Father 
 who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 
 
 10 Thy kingdom come. E Thy will be 
 done in earth "as it is in heaven. 
 
 11 Give us to-day our 'daily bread. 
 
 12 And "forgive us our debts, as we for- 
 give our debtors. 
 
 13 And lead us not into trial, but 
 ""deliver us from evil. "For thine is the 
 kingdom, and the power, and the glory, 
 for ever. Amen. 
 
 14 "For, if ye forgive men their trespasses, 
 your heavenly Father will also forgive you : 
 
 15 But, *if ye forgive not men their tres- 
 passes, neither will your Father forgive 
 your trespasses. 
 
 16 ff And 'when ye fast, be not as the 
 hypocrites, of a sad countenance : for they 
 disfigure their faces, that they may appear 
 to men to fast. Verily, I say to you, They 
 have their reward. 
 
 17 But thou, when thou fastest, 'anoint 
 thy head, and wash thy face ; 
 
 18 That thou appear not to men to fast, 
 but to thy Father, who is in secret : and 
 thy Father, who seeth in secret, will re- 
 ward thee openly. 
 
 19 If 'Lay not up your treasures upon 
 earth, where moth and rust consume, and 
 where thieves break through and steal : 
 
 20 'But lay up your treasures in heaven, 
 where neither moth nor rust consumeth, 
 and where thieves do not break through 
 nor steal. 
 
 21 For where your treasure is, there will 
 your heart be also. 
 
 22 "The light of the body is the eye : if 
 then thine eye be sound, thy whole body 
 will be enlightened-. 
 
 23 But if thine eye be diseased, thy whole 
 body will be dark. If then the light that is 
 in thee is darkness, how great the dark- 
 ness! 
 
 24 If x No one can serve two masters : for 
 he will either hate the one, and love the 
 other, or hold to the one, and despise the 
 other. "Ye canilot serve God and ||mam- 
 mon. 
 
 25 Therefore I say to you, ! Be not anxious 
 for your life, what ye shall eat. or what ye 
 shall drink; nor for your body, how ye

 CHAPTERS VII. VIII. 
 
 Christ endeth his sermon 
 
 shall be clothed. Is not the life more than 
 food, and the body than cloth:: 
 26 'Look at the birds of heaven. They 
 sow not, nor reap, nor gather into barns ; 
 yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. 
 Are not ve much better than they ? 
 
 ' Who of you by being anxious can add 
 5a span to his life ? 
 
 28 And why are ye anxious about cloth- 
 ing ? Observe the lilies of the field how 
 they grow. They toil not, nor spin ; 
 
 29 Yet I say to you, That even Solomon 
 in all his glory was not arrayed like one 
 of these. 
 
 50 And if God so clothes the grass of the 
 field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is 
 
 -: into the oven, will he not much more 
 clothe you, Te of little faith ? 
 
 51 Be" not then anxious, saying, "What 
 shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? 
 or, wherewith shall we be clothed ? 
 
 52 (For after all these things do the Gen- 
 tiles seek) for your heavenly Father know- 
 eth that ye have need of all these thin . - 
 
 33 But -'seek first the kingdom of God, 
 and his righteousness, and all these things 
 will be added to you. 
 
 34 Be not then anxious for the morrow : 
 for the morrow will be anxious for itself. 
 Sufficient for the day is its own evil. 
 
 CHAPTER VII. 
 1 Christ ending his sermon in the mount, reproveth 
 rash judgment, 6forbiddeth to cast holy things to 
 dogs, 7 exhorteth to prayer, 13 to enter in at the 
 strait gate, 15 to beware of false prophets, 21 not 
 to he hearers, but doers of the word : 24 like houses 
 builded an a rock, 26 and not on the sand. 
 
 JUDGE 'not, that ye be not judged. 
 2 For with what judgment ye judge, 
 ye will be judged : 'and with what measure 
 ye mete, it will be measured to you. 
 5 'And why beholdest thou the mote that 
 is in thy brother's eye, but observest not 
 the beam that is in thine own eve ? 
 
 4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, 
 Let me take out the mote from thine eye ; 
 and behold, the beam is in thine own eye ? 
 
 5 Hypocrite, first remove the beam from 
 thine own eye : and then thou wilt see 
 clearly to remove the mote from the eye 
 of thy brother. 
 
 6 r , *Give not that which is sacred to the 
 dogs, nor cast vour pearls before swine, 
 lest they trample them under their feet, 
 and turn and rend you. 
 
 7 *T 'Ask, and it shall be given you ; seek. 
 and ye shall find ; knock, and it shall be 
 opened to you : 
 
 8 For 'every one tl :!i, receiveth ; 
 and that seeketh, findeth: and that knock - 
 eth, to him it shall be opened. 
 
 9 r Or what man is there of you. of whom 
 if his son ask bread, he will give him a 
 sto:. 
 
 10 Or if he ask a fish, will give him a 
 serpent ? 
 
 11 If ye then *being evil know how to 
 give good gifts to your children, how much 
 more will your Father who is in heaven 
 
 e good things to those who ask him ? 
 
 12 Therefore all things 'whatever ye 
 would that men do to you, so do ye also 
 to them : for 'this is the law and the pro- 
 phet.

 to destruction, aDd there are many that 
 enter by it. 
 
 14 How strait is the gate, and nar- 
 row the way, which leadeth to life, and 
 there are few that find it ! 
 
 15 *T "Beware of false prophets, "who 
 come to you in sheep's clothing, but are 
 inwardly "ravenous wolves. 
 
 16 'Ye shall know them by their fruits : 
 'Do men gather grapes from thorns, or figs 
 from thistles? 
 
 17 Thus 'every good tree beareth good 
 fruit ; but the bad tree beareth bad fruit. 
 
 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor 
 a bad tree bear good fruit. 
 
 19 'Every tree that beareth not good fruit 
 is cut down, and cast into the fire. 
 
 20 So then, by their fruits ye shall know 
 them. 
 
 21 "J Not every one who saith to me, 
 'Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom 
 of heaven ; but he that doeth the will of 
 my Father who is in heaven. 
 
 22 Many will say to me in that day, 
 Lord, Lord, did we "not prophesy in thy 
 name ? and in thy name cast out demons ? 
 and in thy name do many mighty works ? 
 
 And r then I will declare to them, I 
 never knew you : 'depart from me, ye who 
 work iniquity. 
 
 24 r Therefore, z whoever heareth these 
 my words, and doeth them, I will liken 
 him to a prudent man, who built his house 
 upon the rock : 
 
 And the rain descended, and the floods 
 came, and the winds blew, and beat upon 
 that house; and it fell not: for it was 
 founded on the rock. 
 
 26 And every one who heareth these my 
 words, and doeth them not, shall be liken- 
 ed to a foolish man, who built his house 
 upon the sand : 
 
 2/ And the rain descended, and the floods 
 came, and the winds blew, and beat upon 
 that house ; and it fell : and the fall of it 
 was great. 
 
 28 And it came to pass when Jesus had 
 ended these words, °the people were asto- 
 nished at his teaching. 
 
 29 'For he taught them as having author- 
 ity, and not as the scribes. 
 
 CHAPTER VIII. 
 
 rtaf cleanseth the leper, 5 healeth the centurion's 
 servant, 14 Peter's mother-in-law, 16 and many 
 other diseased .- 18 sheweth how he is to be followed : 
 23 stilleth the tempest on the sea, 2S driteth the 
 demons out of two men possessed, 31 and suffer eth 
 them to go into the swine. 
 
 AS he came down from the mountain, 
 great multitudes followed him. 
 
 2 "And behold, a leper came and fell 
 down before him, saying, Lord, if thou 
 wilt, thou canst cleanse me. 
 
 3 And Jesus put forth his hand, and 
 touched him, saying, I will; be cleansed. 
 And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. 
 
 4 And Jesus saith to him, -"See thou tell 
 no one ; but go, shew thyself to the priest, 
 and offer the gift that -Moses commanded, 
 for a testimony to them. 
 
 5 f 'And Jesus having entered Caper- 
 naum, there came to him a centurion, 
 beseeching him, 
 
 6 And saying. Lord, my servant lieth 
 at home sick of the palsy, — levously tor- 
 mented. 
 
 5 
 
Christ performeth 
 
 7 And Jesus saith to him, I will come 
 and heal him. 
 
 8 The centurion answering, said, Lord, 'I 
 am not worthy that thou shouldest come 
 under my roof: but only 'speak the word, 
 and my servant will be nealed. 
 
 9 For I am a man under authority, having 
 soldiers under me : and I say to this man, 
 Go, and be goeth ; and to another, Come, 
 and he cometh; and to my servant, Do 
 this, and he doeth it. 
 
 10 And Jesus hearing it, wondered, and 
 said to those who followed, Verily I say to 
 you, Not even in Israel have I found so 
 great faith ! 
 
 11 And I say to you, That f many will 
 come from the east and west, and will 
 recline at table with Abraham, and Isaac, 
 and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven : 
 
 12 But "the sons of the kingdom 'will be 
 cast forth into the outer darkness: there 
 will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 
 
 13 And Jesus said to the centurion, Go, 
 and as thou hast believed, so be it done to 
 thee. And his servant was healed in that 
 hour. 
 
 14 TI *And Jesus coming into the house 
 of Peter, saw 'his wife's mother lying sick 
 of a fever. 
 
 15 And he touched her hand, and the 
 fever left her : and she arose, and minis- 
 tered to them. 
 
 16 U "And evening coming, they brought 
 to him many having demons : and he cast 
 out the spirits with his word, and healed 
 all that were sick ; 
 
 17 That it might be fulfilled which was 
 spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying, "He 
 himself took our infirmities, and bore our 
 sicknesses. 
 
 18 If And Jesus seeing great multitudes 
 about him, directed to depart to the other 
 side. 
 
 19 "And a certain scribe came, and said 
 to him, Teacher, I will follow thee where- 
 ever thou goest. 
 
 20 And Jesus saith to him, The foxes 
 have holes, and the birds of heaven dwell- 
 ing-places ; but the Son of man hath not 
 where to lay his head. 
 
 21 p And another of his disciples said to 
 him, Lord, 'permit me first to go and bury 
 my father. 
 
 22 But Jesus said to him, Follow me; 
 and let the dead bury their own dead. 
 
 23 If And he entered the ship, and his 
 disciples followed him. 
 
 24 'And behold, a great tempest arose in 
 the sea, so that the snip was covered by the 
 waves ; but he was asleep. 
 
 25 And his disciples came up, and awoke 
 him, saying, Lord, save us ! we perish ! 
 
 26 And he saith to them, Why are ye 
 fearful, Ye of little faith? Then 'he 
 arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; 
 and there was a great calm. 
 
 27 And the men wondered, saying, What 
 sort of man is this, that even the winds and 
 the sea obey him ! 
 
 28 1f 'And as he came to the other side, 
 into the country of the Gergesenes, there 
 met him two demoniacs, coming from the 
 tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that none 
 could pass by that way. 
 
 29 And behold, they cried out, saying, 
 What have we to do with thee, Jesus,

 30 And there was at a distance from them 
 an herd of many swine, feeding. 
 
 31 And the demons entreated him, say- 
 ing, If thou cast us out, permit us to go 
 away into the herd of swine. 
 
 32 And he said to them, Go. And they 
 came out, and went into the swine: and 
 behold^ the whole herd rushed down the 
 steep into the sea, and perished in the 
 waters. 
 
 33 And those who fed them, fled, and 
 going into the city, reported every thing, 
 and what had befallen the demoniacs. 
 
 34 And behold, the whole city came out 
 to meet Jesus: and on seeing him, "they 
 entreated him to depart from their bor- 
 ders. 
 
 CHAPTER IX. 
 
 2 Christ curing a paralytic, 9 calleth Mattheio 
 from the receipt of custom, 10 eateth with pub- 
 licans and sinners, 14 defendeth his disciples for 
 not fasting, 20 cureth the bloody issue, 23 rais- 
 ethfrom death Jairus' daughter, 27 giveth sight to 
 two blind men, 32 healeth a dumb man having a 
 demon, 36 and hath compassion on the multitude. 
 
 AND going into the ship, he passed over, 
 "and came into his own city. 
 
 2 *And behold, they brought to him a 
 paralytic, lying on a bed : 'and Jesus, see- 
 ing their faith, said to the paralytic, Son, 
 take courage ; thy sins are forgiven thee. 
 
 3 And behold, some of the scribes said 
 within themselves, This man blasphemeth. 
 
 4 And Jesus, d knowing their thoughts, 
 said, Wherefore think ye evil in your 
 hearts ? 
 
 5 For which is easier, to say, Thy sins 
 are forgiven thee, or to say, Arise, and 
 walk? 
 
 6 But that ye may know that the Son of 
 man hath power on earth to forgive sins, 
 (then saith he to the paralytic,) Arise, 
 take up thy bed, and go to thine house. 
 
 7 And he arose, and departed to his house. 
 
 8 And the multitude seeing it, wondered, 
 and glorified God, who had given such 
 power to men. 
 
 9 If 'And Jesus passing thence, saw a man 
 named Matthew, sitting at the custom- 
 house, and saith to him, Follow me. And 
 he arose, and followed him. 
 
 10 f 'And it came to pass, as he reclined 
 at table in the house, behold, many publi- 
 cans and sinners came and reclined with 
 him and his disciples. 
 
 11 And the Pharisees seeing it, said to 
 his disciples, Why eateth your Master 
 with ^publicans and "sinners ? 
 
 12 And Jesus hearing it, said to them, 
 Those who are well need not a physician, 
 but those who are sick. 
 
 13 But go and learn what that meaneth, 
 •T desire mercy, and not sacrifice: for I 
 came not to call the righteous, 'but sinners 
 to repentance. 
 
 14 If Then the disciples of John came to 
 him, saying, 'Why do we andthe Pharisees 
 fast often, but thy disciples fast not ? 
 
 15 And Jesus said to them, Can m the sons 
 of the bride-chamber mourn, as long as the 
 bridegroom is witfi them ? but the days will 
 come, when the bridegroom will be taken 
 from them, and "then they will fast. 
 
 16 And no one putteth a piece of un 
 dressed cloth on an old garment-, foi 
 
Christ performeth miracles. 
 
 that which is added taketh from the gar- 
 ment, and the rent is made Worse. 
 
 17 Nor do they put new wine into old 
 || bottles: else the bottles burst, and the 
 wine runneth out, and the bottles perish : 
 but they put new wine into new bottles, 
 and both are preserved. 
 
 18 TJ "As he was speaking thus to them, 
 behold, a ruler came, and fell down before 
 him, saying, My daughter is by this time 
 dead: but come and lay thy hand upon 
 her, and she will live. 
 
 19 And Jesus arose, and followed him, 
 with his disciples. 
 
 20 If ('And behold, a woman, having an 
 issue of blood twelve years, came behind 
 him, and touched the fringe of his garment. 
 
 21 For she said within herself, If I only 
 touch his garment, I shall be healed. 
 
 22 But Jesus turning and seeing her, 
 said, Take courage, daughter: «thy faith 
 hath healed thee. And the woman was 
 healed from that hour.) 
 
 CHAf TER X. 
 
 23 r And Jesus 
 
 into the ruler's 
 
 coming 
 
 house, and seeing 'the pipers and the 
 crowd making a noise, 
 m 24 Said to them, 'Retire : for the maiden 
 is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laugh- 
 ed at him. 
 
 25 But when the people were put forth, 
 he went in, and took her by the hand, and 
 the maiden arose. 
 
 26 And the report of it went forth into all 
 that land. 
 
 27 If And as Jesus was passing thence, 
 two blind men followed him, crying, and 
 saying, "Son of David, have pity upon us ! 
 
 28 And he having entered the house, the 
 blind men came to him : and Jesus saith to 
 them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? 
 They said to him, Yea, Lord. 
 
 29 Then he touched their eyes, saying, 
 According to your faith, be it to you. 
 
 30 And their eyes were opened ; and Jesus 
 strictly charged them, saying, *See that no 
 one know it. 
 
 31 "But they, going out, spread abroad his 
 fame in all that country. 
 
 32 If *As they went out, behold, there was 
 brought to him a dumb man having a de- 
 mon. 
 
 33 And the demon being cast out, the 
 dumb man spoke: and the multitude won- 
 dered, saying, The like was never seen in 
 Israel ! 
 
 34 But the Pharisees said, "He casteth 
 out demons, by the prince, of the demons. 
 
 35 'And Jesus went about all the cities 
 and villages, 'teaching in their synagogues, 
 and proclaiming the glad tidings ot his 
 kingdom j and healing every sickness, and 
 every infirmity among the people. 
 
 36 If "And seeing the multitudes, he had 
 compassion on them, because they were 
 harassed and abandoned, "as sheep having 
 no shepherd. 
 
 37 Then saith he to his disciples, 'The 
 harvest indeed is great, but the labourers 
 are few. 
 
 38 g Pray therefore the Lord of the har- 
 vest, to send forth labourers into his har- 
 vest !

 He sendeth out his twelve apostles 
 
 cutions : 40 and promiseth a blessing to those that 
 receive them. 
 
 AND "calling to him his twelve disci- 
 ples, he gave them power over un- 
 clean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal 
 every sickness, and every infirmity. 
 
 2 Now the names of the twelve apostles 
 are these; First, Simon, 'who is called 
 Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the 
 son of Zebedee, and John his brother ; 
 
 3 Philip, and Bartholomew ; Thomas, and 
 Matthew the publican ; James the son of 
 Alpheus, and Lebbeus, surnamed Thad- 
 deus ; 
 
 4 'Simon the Canaanite, and Judas d Is- 
 cariot, who also betrayed him. 
 
 5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and 
 commanded them, saying, 'Go not among 
 the Gentiles, and enter not a city of 'the 
 Samaritans. 
 
 6 ff But go rather to the *lost sheep of the 
 house of Israel. 
 
 7 'And as ye go, proclaim, saying, *The 
 kingdom of heaven is at hand. 
 
 8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise 
 the dead, cast out demons: 'freely ye re- 
 ceived, freely give. 
 
 9 m |jProvide neither gold, nor silver, nor 
 "brass for your purses ; 
 
 10 Nor sack for your journey, nor two 
 coats, nor shoes, nor staff. For the labourer 
 is worthy of his support. 
 
 11 p Ana whatever city or village ye enter, 
 inquire who in it is worthy; and there re- 
 main till ye go thence. 
 
 12 And as ye enter the house, salute it. 
 
 13 'And if the house be worthy, let your 
 peace come upon it : 'but if it be not wor- 
 thy, let your peace return to you. 
 
 14 "And whoever shall not receive you, 
 nor hear your words, in departing from 
 that house, or city, 'shake oft the dust of 
 your feet. 
 
 15 Verily, I say to you, "It will be more 
 tolerable for the land of Sodom and Go- 
 morrah, in the day of judgment, than for 
 that city. 
 
 16 If "Behold, I send you forth as sheep 
 in the midst of wolves : y be therefore pru- 
 dent as the serpents, and 2 guileless as the 
 doves. 
 
 17 But beware of men : for "they will de- 
 liver you up to councils, and 'will scourge 
 you in their synagogues. 
 
 18 And 'ye will be brought before govern- 
 ors and kings for my sake, for a testimony 
 to them and to the nations. 
 
 19 d But when they deliver you up, be not 
 anxious how or what ye shall speak, for 'it 
 will be given you in that hour what ye 
 shall speak. 
 
 20 {For it is not ye that speak, but the 
 Spirit of your Father that speaketh in you. 
 
 21 *And the brother will deliver up the 
 brother to death, and the father the child : 
 and children will arise against parents, 
 and bring them to death. 
 
 22 And *y e will De hated by all on ac- 
 count of my name: 'but he that endureth 
 to the end shall be saved. 
 
 23 But 'when they persecute you in this 
 city, flee into another: for verily I say to 
 you, Ye shall not ||have gone over the cities 
 of Israel ! till th5 Son of man be come. 
 
 24 m The disciple is not above the teacher, 
 nor the servant above his lord. 
 
 7 
 
Christ instructeth his apostles, 
 
 25 Enough for the disciple to be as his 
 teacher, and the servant as his lord: if 
 "they have called the master of the house 
 tBeelzebub, how much more will they call 
 his household ! 
 
 26 Fear them not therefore : "for there is 
 nothing covered, that shall not be revealed ; 
 and hidden, that shall not be known. 
 
 27 What I tell you in darkness, speak in 
 the light: and what ye hear in the ear, pro- 
 claim on the house-tops. 
 
 28 p And fear not those who will kill the 
 body, but cannot kill the soul : but rather 
 fear him who can destroy both soul and 
 body in hell. 
 
 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a j| far- 
 thing? and one of these will not fall to the 
 ground without your Father. 
 
 50 ('But, even the hairs of your head are 
 all numbered.) 
 
 31 Fear not therefore; ye are of more 
 value than many sparrows. 
 
 32 r Whoever therefore shall acknowledge 
 me before men, 'him will I also acknow- 
 ledge before my Father who is in heaven. 
 
 33 'But whoever shall deny me before 
 men, him will I also deny before my Fa- 
 ther who is in heaven. 
 
 34 "Think not that I am come to send 
 peace on earth ; I came not to send peace, 
 but a sword. 
 
 35 For I came to set a man at variance 
 'with his father, and the daughter with 
 her mother, and the daughter-in-law with 
 her mother-in-law. 
 
 . 36 And y a man's foes will be those of his 
 own household. 
 
 37 *He who loveth father or mother more 
 than me, is not worthy of me: and he who 
 loveth son or daughter more than me, is 
 not worthy of me. 
 
 38 "And he who taketh not his cross, and 
 followeth after me, is not worthy of me. 
 
 39 'He that gaineth his life will lose it : 
 and he that loseth his life for my sake, 
 will gain it. 
 
 40 If c He that receiveth you, receiveth 
 me; and he that receiveth me, receiveth 
 him who sent me. 
 
 41 rf He that receiveth a prophet in the 
 name of a prophet, will receive a pro- 
 phet's reward; and he that receiveth a 
 righteous man in the name of a righteous 
 man, will receive a righteous man's re- 
 ward. 
 
 42 'And whoever shall give to drink to 
 one of these little ones, a cup of cold water 
 only, in the name of a disciple, verily, I 
 say to you, he shall not lose his reward.

 2 John sendeth his disciples to Christ. 7 Christ's 
 testimony concerning John. 18 The opinion of the 
 people, both concerning John and Christ. 20 Christ 
 upbraideth the unthankfulness and unrepentance 
 of Chorazin, Bethsaida, and Capernaum : 25 and 
 praising his Father's wisdom in revealing the 
 gospel to the simple, 28 he calleth to him all such 
 as feel the burden of their sins. 
 
 AND it came to pass when Jesus finished 
 commanding his twelve disciples, he 
 departed thence to teach and to preach in 
 their cities. 
 
 2 "But John hearing J in the prison of 
 the works of Christ, sent two of his dis- 
 ciples, 
 
 3 And said to him, Art thou e he that 
 cometh, or do we look for another ?

 lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and 
 the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and 
 the poor receive glad tidings ; 
 
 6 And happy ishe whoever is not / ||of- 
 fended in me. 
 
 7 If 'And as they departed, Jesus began 
 to say to the multitudes concerning John, 
 What went ye out into the desert to 
 see ? fi A reed shaken by the wind ? 
 
 8 But what went ye out to see ? A man 
 clothed in soft raiment? Behold, those 
 who wear soft clothing are in kings' 
 houses. 
 
 9 But what went ye out to see ? A pro- 
 phet ? yea, I say to you, 'and more than a 
 prophet ! 
 
 10 For this is he of whom it is written, 
 'Behold, I send my messenger before thy 
 face, who will prepare thy way before thee. 
 
 11 Verily, I say to you, Among those 
 born of women, there hath not risen a 
 greater than John the Baptist: and yet the 
 least in the kingdom of heaven, is greater 
 than he. 
 
 12 'And from the days of John the Bap- 
 tisiL until now, the kingdom of heaven 
 suffereth violence, and the violent seize 
 upon it. 
 
 13 "For all the prophets and the law pro- 
 phesied until John. 
 
 14 And if ye will receive it, this is "Elijah 
 who was to come. 
 
 15 "He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. 
 
 16 f p But to what shall I liken this gene- 
 ration ? It is like children sitting in the 
 markets, and calling to their fellows, 
 
 17 And saying, We have piped for you, 
 and ye have not danced ; we have mourn- 
 ed for you, and ye have not lamented. 
 
 18 For John came neither eating nor 
 drinking, and they say, He hath a demon. 
 
 19 The Son of man came eating and 
 drinking, and they say, Behold, a glutton, 
 and a wine-drinker, "a friend of publicans 
 and sinners ! r But wisdom is justified by 
 her children. 
 
 20 If 'Then he began to reproach the cities 
 in which most of his mighty works were 
 done, because they repented not. 
 
 21 Wo to thee, Chorazin ! wo to thee, 
 Bethsaida! for if .the mighty works which 
 were done in you had been done in Tyre 
 and Sidon, they would have repented long 
 ago 'in sackcloth and ashes. 
 
 22 But I say to you, "It will be more 
 tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day 
 of judgment, than for you. 
 
 23 And thou, Capernaum, x that art ex- 
 alted to heaven, shalt be brought down to 
 llhell ! for if the mighty works which have 
 been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, 
 it would have remained until this day. 
 
 24 But I say to you, "That it will be more 
 tolerable for the land of Sodom, in the day 
 of judgment, than for thee. 
 
 25 If *At that time Jesus answered and 
 said, I thank thee, Father, Lord of hea- 
 ven and earth, that "thou hast hidden these 
 things from the wjse and intelligent, 'and 
 hast revealed them to babes. 
 
 26 Even so, Father, for so it seemed good 
 in thy sight ! 
 
 27 C A11 things are delivered to me by my 
 
Christ reproveth the Pharisees. 
 
 Father ; and no one knoweth the Son, but 
 the Father ; d nor doth any one know the 
 Father, but the Son, and he to whom the 
 Son will reveal him. 
 
 28 % Come to me, all ye who labour, and 
 are burdened, and I will give you rest. 
 
 29 Take my yoke upon you, "and learn 
 from me: for I am meek and 'lowly in 
 heart; *and ye will find rest to your souls. 
 
 30 A For my yoke is easy, and my burden 
 is light. 
 
 CHAPTER XII. 
 
 1 Christ reproveth the blindness of the Pharisees con- 
 cerning the breach of the sabbath, 3 by scriptures, 
 9 by reason, 13 and by a miracle. 22 He healeth 
 the man possessed that was blind and dumb. 
 31 Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit shall never 
 be forgiven. 36 Account shall be made of idle 
 words. 38 He rebuketh the unfaithful, who seek 
 after a sign : 49 and sheweth who is his brother, 
 sister, and mother. 
 
 AT that time "Jesus went on the Sabbath 
 through the fields of grain, and his 
 disciples were hungry, and began to pluck 
 the ears of grain, and eat. 
 
 2 And the Pharisees seeing it, said to 
 him, Behold, thy disciples do what it is 
 not lawful to do on the Sabbath. 
 
 3 But he said to them, Have ye not read 
 Vhat David did when he was hungry, and 
 those with him ; 
 
 4 How he entered the house of God. 
 and ate c the ||shew-bread, which it was not 
 lawful for him to eat, nor for those who 
 were with him, d but only for the priests ? 
 
 5 Or have ye not- read in the c law that on 
 the Sabbaths the priests in the temple vio- 
 late the Sabbath, and are blameless ? 
 
 6 But I say to you, that here is / one 
 greater than the temple. 
 
 7 But if ye had known what this meaneth, 
 g l desire mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would 
 not have condemned the guiltless. 
 
 8 For the Son of man is Lord of the Sab- 
 bath. 
 
 9 *And departing thence, he went into 
 their synagogue. 
 
 10 ^ And behold, there was a man who 
 had his hand withei'ed. And they asked 
 him, saying, 'Is it lawful to heal on the 
 Sabbath? that they might accuse him. 
 
 11 And he said to them, What man will 
 there be among you, who shall have one 
 sheep, and *if it fall into a pit on the Sab- 
 bath, will not lay hold of it, and lift it out? 
 
 12 How much then is a man better than 
 a sheep ! So that it is lawful to do good on 
 the Sabbath. 
 
 13 Then he saith to the man, Stretch 
 forth thy hand. And he stretched it 
 forth ; and it was restored sound, like the 
 other. 
 
 14 If Then 'the Pharisees went out, and 
 took counsel against him, how they might 
 destroy him. 
 
 15 But Jesus knowing it, "retired thence : 
 "and great multitudes folloAved him, and 
 he healed them all, 
 
 16 And "charged them that they should 
 not make him known : 
 
 17 That it might be fulfilled which was 
 spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying, 
 
 18 ? Behold my servant, whom I have 
 chosen ; my beloved, «in whom my soul is 
 well pleased; I will put my Spirit upon 
 him, and he will declare judgment to the 
 nations.

 22 If r Then was brought to him a demo- 
 niac, blind and dumb; and he healed him, 
 so that the blind and dumb both spoke and 
 saw. 
 
 23 And all the multitude were amazed, 
 and said, Is this the son of David ? 
 
 24 'But the Pharisees hearing it, said, 
 This man doth not cast out demons, but 
 by tBeelzebub prince of the demons. 
 
 25 And Jesus 'knowing their thoughts, 
 said to them, Every kingdom divided 
 against itself, is brought to desolation ; 
 and every city or house divided against 
 itself, will not stand. 
 
 26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is di- 
 vided against himself; how then will his 
 kingdom stand ? 
 
 37 And if I by Beelzebub cast out de- 
 mons, by whom do your sons cast them 
 out ? therefore they shall be your judges. 
 
 28 But if I cast out demons by the Spirit 
 of God, then "the kingdom of God is come 
 to you. 
 
 29 *Or, how can one enter the strong 
 man's house, and spoil his goods, unless 
 he first bind the strong man ? and then he 
 will spoil his house. 
 
 30 He that is not with me, is against me ; 
 and he that gathereth not with me, scat- 
 tereth. 
 
 31 ^f Therefore I say to you, "All sin and 
 reviling will be forgiven to men : z but the 
 reviling against the Spirit will not be for- 
 given to men. 
 
 32 And whoever "speaketh a word against 
 the Son of man, 6 it will be forgiven him : 
 but whoever speaketh against the Holy 
 Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either 
 in this world, or in that to come. 
 
 33 Either make the tree good, and c its 
 fruit good; or make the tree bad, and its 
 fruit Tiad : for the tree is known by i.ts 
 fruit. 
 
 34 d Generation of vipers! how can ye, 
 being evil, speak good things? 'for from 
 the abundance of the heart, the mouth 
 speaketh. 
 
 35 The good man, from the good treasure 
 of his heart, bringeth forth good things : 
 and the evil man, from its evil treasure, 
 bringeth forth evil things. 
 
 36 But I say to you, that for every idle 
 word that men shall speak, they must give 
 account in the day of judgment. 
 
 37 For by thy words thou wilt be justi- 
 fied, and by thy words thou wilt be con- 
 demned. 
 
 38 If 'Then certain of the scribes and 
 Pharisees answered, saying, Teacher, we 
 would see a sign from thee. 
 
 39 But he answered and said to them, 
 An evil and ^adulterous generation seek- 
 eth for a sign, and there shall no sign be 
 s;iven to it, but the sign of the prophet 
 Jonah. 
 
 40 *For as Jonah was three days and 
 three nights in the belly of the whale, so 
 will the Son of man be three days and 
 three nights in the heart of the earth. 
 
 41 'The men of Nineveh will arise in the,

 judgment with this generation, and *con- 
 demn it: 'because they repented at the 
 warning of Jonah; and lo, here is a greater 
 than Jonah. 
 
 42 m The queen of the south will arise in 
 the judgment with this generation, and 
 will condemn it: for she came from the 
 extremities of the earth to hear the wis- 
 dom of Solomon ; and lo, here is a greater 
 than Solomon. 
 
 43 "When the unclean spirit is gone out 
 of the man, "it goeth through dry places, 
 seeking rest, and findeth none. 
 
 44 Then it saith, I will return to my house 
 whence I came out ; and coming, findeth 
 it empty, swept, and furnished. 
 
 45 Then it goeth, and taketh with it seven 
 other spirits more wicked than itself, and 
 they come in and dwell there: ? and the 
 last state of that man is worse than the 
 first. Thus will it be also to this wicked 
 generation. 
 
 46 % While he was yet speaking to the 
 people, 'behold, his mother and 'his bre- 
 thren stood without, desiring to speak 
 with him. 
 
 47 And one said to him, Behold, thy mo- 
 ther and thy brethren stand without, de- 
 siring to speak with thee. 
 
 48 But he answered and said to him who 
 told him, Who is my mother ? and who are 
 my brethren ? 
 
 49 And stretching forth his hand towards 
 his disciples, he said, Behold my mother 
 and my brethren ! 
 
 50 For 'whoever shall do the will of my 
 Father who is in heaven, he is my brother, 
 and sister, and mother. 
 
 CHAPTER XIII. 
 
 3 The parable of the sower and the seed : 18 the ex- 
 position of it. 24 The parable of the tares, 31 of 
 the mustard-seed, 33 of the leaven, 4A of the hidden 
 treasure, 45 of the pearl, 47 of the drawnet cast 
 into the sea : 53 and how Christ is contemned by 
 his own countrymen. 
 
 ON that day Jesus went forth from the 
 house, "and sat by the sea-side. 
 
 2 'And great multitudes assembled to him, 
 so that c he went into the ship, and sat; and 
 the whole multitude stood on the shore. 
 
 3 And he spoke much to them in para- 
 bles, saying, ^Behold, the sower went forth 
 to sow ; 
 
 4 And as he sowed, some seeds fell by 
 the way-side, and the birds came and de- 
 voured them: 
 
 5 Some fell on the rocky ground, where 
 they had not much earth: and forthwith 
 they sprung up, because they had no depth 
 of earth : 
 
 6 And when the sun was up, they were 
 scorched ; and because they had no root, 
 they withered away. 
 
 7 And some fell among the thorns ; and 
 the thorns sprung up, and choked them : 
 
 8 But others fell on the good ground, 
 and yielded fruit, some 'an hundred-fold, 
 some sixty-fold, some thirty-fold. 
 
 9 f He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. 
 
 10 And the disciples came, and said to 
 him, Why speakest thou to them in para- 
 bles? 
 
 11 He answered and said to them, Be- 
 cause *it is given to you to know the 
 secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to 
 them it is not given.

 The parable explained. 
 
 12 Tor whoever hath, to him shall be 
 iven, and he shall abound : but whoever 
 ath not, from him shall be taken even 
 
 what he hath. 
 
 13 Therefore I speak to them in parables : 
 because seeing, they see not; and hearing, 
 they hear not, nor understand. 
 
 14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy 
 of Isaiah, which saith, "Hearing ye shall 
 hear, and shall not understand ; and see- 
 ing ye shall see, and shall not perceive : 
 
 15 For this people's heart is become gross, 
 and their ears *are dull of hearing, and 
 their eyes they have closed; lest they 
 should see with their eyes, and hear with 
 their ears, and understand with their heart, 
 and should turn, and I should heal them. 
 
 16 But 'happy your eyes, for they see: 
 and your ears, for they hear ! 
 
 17 For, verily, I say to you, "That many 
 prophets and righteous men have desired 
 to see what ye see, and have not seen it ; 
 and to hear what ye hear, and have not 
 heard it. 
 
 18 If n Hear ye then the parable of the 
 sower. 
 
 19 When any one heareth the word "of 
 the kingdom, and understandeth it not, 
 the wicked one cometh, and snatcheth 
 away that which was sown in his heart. 
 This is that which was sown by the way- 
 side. 
 
 20 And that sown on the rocky ground, 
 is he who heareth the word, and immedi- 
 ately 'receiveth it with joy ; 
 
 21 Yet hath no root in himself, but en- 
 dureth for a while : and when affliction or 
 persecution ariseth on account of the word, 
 he immediately «fallefh away. 
 
 22 r And that sown 'among the thorns is 
 he who heareth the word; and the cares 
 of this world, and the deceitfulness of 
 riches choke the word, and it becometh 
 unfruitful. 
 
 23 But that sown on the good ground is 
 he who heareth the word, and understand- 
 eth it; who also beareth fruit, and yieldeth, 
 one an hundred-fold, another sixty, an- 
 other thirty. 
 
 24 If Another parable he put forth to 
 them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is 
 likened to a man who sowed good seed in 
 his field : 
 
 25 But while men slept, his enemy came 
 and sowed tares among the wheat, and 
 went away. 
 
 26 But when the blade sprung up, and 
 bore fruit, then appeared the tares also. 
 
 27 So the servants of the householder 
 came and said to him, Sir, didst not thou 
 sow good seed in thy field ? whence then 
 hath it tares ? 
 
 28 He said to them, An enemy did this. 
 The servants said to him, Wilt thou then 
 that we go and gather them up ? 
 
 29 But he said, Nay; lest in gathering 
 the tares, ye root up the wheat with them. 
 
 30 Let both grow together until the har- 
 vest : and at the season of harvest I will 
 say to the reapers, Gather first the tares, 
 and bind them in bundles to burn them : 
 but 'gather thejwheat into my barn. 
 
 31 "ff Another parable he put forth to 
 them, saying, "The kingdom of heaven is 
 like a grain of mustard-seed, which a man 
 took, and sowed in f>i« fi°1f' : 
 
Various parables. 
 
 32 Which indeed is the least of all seeds : 
 but when it is grown, is the largest of 
 herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the 
 birds of heaven come and lodge in its 
 branches. 
 
 33 % 'Another parable he spoke to them ; 
 The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, 
 which a woman took, and hid in three 
 tmeasures of meal, till the whole was lea- 
 vened. 
 
 34 y All this Jesus spoke to the multitude 
 in parables ; and without a parable he did 
 not speak to them : 
 
 35 That it might be fulfilled which was 
 spoken by the prophet, saying, *I will open 
 my mouth in parables ; °I will utter things 
 hidden from the foundation of the world. 
 
 36 Then Jesus left the multitude, and 
 went into the house : and his disciples 
 came to him, saying, Explain to us the 
 parable of the tares of the field. 
 
 37 He answered and said to them, He 
 that soweth the good seed is the Son of 
 man; 
 
 38 The field is the world ; the good seed 
 are the sons of the kingdom ; and the tares 
 are the sons of the wicked one ; 
 
 •39 The enemy that sowed them is the 
 devil; d the harvest is the end of the world; 
 and the reapers are the angels. 
 
 40 As therefore the tares are gathered 
 and burned in the fire ; so will it be at the 
 end of this world. 
 
 41 The Son of man will send forth his 
 angels, e and they will gather out of his 
 kingdom all Jlthat occasion sin, and those 
 who do iniquity; 
 
 42 'And will cast them into the furnace 
 of fire : g there will be weeping and gnash- 
 ing of teeth. 
 
 43 Then the righteous will shine forth 
 as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. 
 *He that hath ears to liear, let him hear. 
 
 44 If Again, the kingdom of heaven is 
 like a treasure hidden in the field ; which 
 a man on finding, hideth, and from his joy 
 goeth and 'selleth all that he hath, and 
 'buyeth that field. 
 
 45 ^f Again, the kingdom of heaven is 
 like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls : 
 
 46 Who, finding m one very costly pearl, 
 went and sold all that he had, and bought it. 
 
 47 If Again, the kingdom of heaven is like 
 a net, that was cast into the sea, and "ga- 
 thered of every kind : 
 
 48 Which, when it was full, they drew to 
 shore, and sat down, and gathered the good 
 into vessels, and threw the bad away. 
 
 49 Thus will it be at the end of the world: 
 the angels will come forth, and "separate 
 the wicked from among the just, 
 
 50 p And will cast them into the furnace 
 of fire : there will be weeping and gnash 
 ing of teeth. 
 
 51 Jesus saith to them, Do ye understand 
 all these things ? They say to him, Yea, 
 Lord. 
 
 52 And he said to them, Therefore every 
 scribe who is instructed for the kingdom 
 of heaven, is like an householder, who 
 bringeth forth from his treasure 'things 
 new and old. 
 
 53 If And it came to pass, when Jesus 
 had finished these parables, he departed 
 thence. 
 
 54 "And coming into his own country,

 John beheaded by Herod. 
 
 he taught them in their synagogue, so that 
 they were astonished, and said, Whence 
 hath this man this wisdom, and these 
 mighty works ?

 his mother called Mary? and 'his brethren, 
 "James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? 
 
 56 And his sisters, are they not all with 
 us ? Whence then hath he all this ? 
 
 57 And they "were offended in him. But 
 Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not with- 
 out honour, except in his own country, and 
 in his own house. 
 
 58 And *he did not many mighty works 
 there, on account of their unbelief. 
 
 CHAPTER XIV. 
 
 1 Herod's opinion of Christ. 3 Wherefore John the 
 Baptist was beheaded. 13 Jesus departeth into a 
 desert place : 15 where he feedeth five thousand 
 men with five loaves and two fishes. 22 He walk- 
 eth on the sea to his disciples : 34 and landing at 
 Gennesaret, healeth the sick by the touch of the 
 fringe of his garment. 
 
 AT that time "Herod the Tetrarch heard 
 the report of Jesus, 
 
 2 And said to his servants, This is John 
 the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; 
 and therefore mighty works are wrought 
 by him. 
 
 3 If 'For Herod had laid hold of John, 
 bound him, and put him in prison, on ac- 
 count of Herodias, wife of his brother 
 Philip. 
 
 4 For John said to him, c It is not lawful 
 for thee to have her. 
 
 5 And he wished to slay him, but feared 
 the multitude, ''because they held him as a 
 prophet. 
 
 6 But when Herod's birth-day was kept, 
 the daughter of Herodias danced tbefore 
 them, and pleased Herod. 
 
 7 Upon which he promised with an oath 
 to give her whatever she should ask. 
 
 8 And she, being instigated by her mo- 
 ther, said, Give me here on a platter the 
 head of John the Baptist. 
 
 9 And the king was sorry : but from re- 
 gard to his oath and his guests, he com- 
 manded it to be given her. 
 
 10 And he sent, and beheaded John in 
 the prison. 
 
 11 And his head was brought on a platter, 
 and given to the damsel : and she brought 
 it to Tier mother. 
 
 12 And his disciples came, and took up 
 the body, and buried it; and went and re- 
 ported it to Jesus. 
 
 13 If e And Jesus hearing it, departed 
 thence by ship into a desert place apart : 
 and the multitudes having heard of it, fol- 
 lowed him by land from the cities. 
 
 14 And Jesus coming forth, saw a great 
 multitude; and 'he had compassion on 
 them, and healed their sick. 
 
 15 If ? And when it was evening, his dis- 
 ciples came to him, saying, This is a desert 
 place, and the time is now past ; dismiss 
 the multitude, that they may go into the 
 villages, and buy themselves victuals. 
 
 16 But Jesus said to them, They need 
 not depart ; give ye them to eat. 
 
 17 And they say to him, We have here 
 but five loaves, and two fishes. 
 
 18 And he said, Bring them hither to me. 
 
 19 And directing the multitude to recline 
 upon the grass, he took the five loaves, 
 
 11 
 
Christ walketh on the sea. 
 
 and the two fishes, and looking up to hea- 
 ven, *he blessed them; and breaking, he 
 gave the loaves to his disciples, and the 
 disciples to the multitude. 
 
 20 And they all ate, and were satisfied : 
 and they took up what remained of the 
 broken pieces, twelve baskets full. 
 
 21 And those who ate were about five 
 thousand men, beside women and child- 
 ren. 
 
 22 \ And immediately Jesus constrained 
 his disciples to enter the ship, and go be- 
 fore him to the other side, while he dis- 
 missed the multitudes. 
 
 23 'And having dismissed the multitudes, 
 he went up into the mountain apart to 
 pray : *and evening coming, he was there 
 alone. 
 
 24 But the ship was now in the midst of 
 the sea, tossed by the waves : for the wind 
 was contrary. 
 
 25 And at the fourth watch of the night 
 Jesus went to them, walking on the sea. 
 
 m 26 And when the disciples saw him "walk- 
 ing on the sea, they were troubled, saying, 
 It is a spirit! and they cried out from fear. 
 27" But immediately Jesus spoke to them, 
 saying, Take courage ; it is I ; fear not. 
 
 28 And Peter answering him, said, Lord, 
 if it is thou, bid me come to thee on the 
 water. 
 
 29 And he said, Come. And Peter de- 
 scending from the ship, walked on the 
 water, to go to Jesus. 
 
 SO But seeing the wind violent, he was 
 afraid ; and beginning to sink, he cried, 
 saying,- Lord, save me ! 
 
 31 And immediately Jesus stretching 
 forth his hand, caught him, and said to 
 him, thou of little faith, why didst thou 
 doubt ? 
 
 32 And as they entered the ship, . the 
 wind ceased. 
 
 33 And those in the ship came and fell 
 down before him, saying, Truly, m thou art 
 the Son of God ! 
 
 34 If "And passing over, they came into 
 the land of Gennesaret. 
 
 35 And the men of that place getting 
 knowledge of him, sent out into all the 
 surrounding country, and brought to him 
 all that were diseased ; 
 
 36 And they besought him that they might 
 only touch the fringe of his garment : and 
 "as many as touched were healed. 
 
 CHAPTER XV. 
 
 3 Christ reproveth the scribes and Pharisees for 
 ■ transgressing God's commandments through their 
 own traditions : 1 1 teacheth how that which goeth 
 into the mouth doth not defile a man. 21 He heal- 
 eth the daughter of the woman of Canaan, 30 and 
 other great multitudes : 32 and with seven loaves 
 and a few little fishes feedeth four thousand men, 
 besides women and children. 
 
 THEN_ tt came to Jesus the scribes and 
 Pharisees of Jerusalem, saying, 
 
 2 'Why do thy disciples transgress 'the 
 tradition of the elders? for they do not 
 wash their hands when they eat bread. 
 
 3 But he answered and said to them, 
 Why do ye also transgress the command- 
 ment of God by your tradition ? 
 
 4 For God commanded, saying, ^Honour 
 thy father and mother: and, ^Hc 
 curseth father or mother, let him 
 death.

 The Canaanite's daughter healed. 
 
 5 But ye say, Whoever shall say to his 
 father or his mother, 'It is a gift, whatever 
 of mine might have aided thee ; 
 
 6 He even must not honour his father or 
 his mother. Thus have ye annulled the 
 commandment of God by your tradition. 
 
 7 * Hypocrites ! well did Isaiah prophesy 
 of you, saying, 
 
 8 *This people draw near to me with their 
 mouth, and honour me with their lips; but 
 their heart is far from me. 
 
 9 But in vain they worship me, 'teaching 
 for doctrines the commandments of men. 
 
 10 If *And he called the multitude, and 
 said to them, Hear, and understand : 
 
 11 'Not that which goeth into the mouth 
 defileth the man ; but that which proceed - 
 eth from the mouth, this defileth the man. 
 
 12 Then his disciples came, and said to 
 him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees took 
 offence at hearing this saying ? 
 
 13 But he answered and said, ""Every 
 plant, which my heavenly Father hath not 
 planted, shall be rooted up. 
 
 14 Let them alone : "they are blind lead- 
 ers of the blind. And if the blind lead the 
 blind, both will fall into the ditch. 
 
 15 "But Peter answering said to him, Ex- 
 plain to us this parable. 
 
 16 And Jesus said, p Are ye also still 
 without understanding ? 
 
 17 Do ye not yet understand, that 'what- 
 ever entereth the mouth goeth into the 
 belly, and is cast forth into the sink ? 
 
 18 But the things which proceed out of 
 the mouth come from the heart ; and they 
 defile the man. 
 
 19 "For from the heart proceed evil 
 thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornica- 
 tions, thefts, false testimonies, revilings : 
 
 20 These are what defile the man : but 
 to eat with unwashen hands defileth not 
 the man. 
 
 21 If 'And Jesus went thence, and retired 
 into the region of Tyre and Sidon. 
 
 22 And behold, a woman of Canaan com- 
 ing forth from those borders, cried to him, 
 saying, Pity me, Lord, thou son of David! 
 My daughter is grievously vexed by ademon! 
 
 23 But he answered her not a word. 
 And his disciples came up and besought 
 him, saying, Dismiss her; for she crieth 
 after us. 
 
 24 But he answering, said, "I am sent 
 only to the lost sheep of the house of 
 Israel. 
 
 25 Then she came and fell down before 
 him, saying, Lord, help me ! 
 
 26 But he answered and said, It is not 
 meet to take the children's bread and 
 throw it to the *dogs. 
 
 27 And she said, Truth, Lord: vet the 
 dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from 
 their masters' table. 
 
 28 Then Jesus answered and said to her, 
 O woman, great is thy faith : be it to thee 
 as thou wilt. And her daughter was healed 
 from that hour. 
 
 29 "And Jesus departing thence, came *to 
 the sea of Galilee ; and going up into the 
 mountain, he sat down there. 
 
 30 "And greaFinultitudes came to him, 
 having with them those that were lame, 
 blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, 
 and laid them at the feet of Jesus; and he 
 healed them :

 fasting, 
 
 31 So that the multitude wondered, as 
 they saw the dumb speaking, the maimed 
 whole, the lame walking, and the blind 
 seeing: and they glorified the God of 
 Israel. 
 
 32 If *And Jesus calling to him Ins disci- 
 ples, said, I have compassion on the mul- 
 titude, because they continue with me now 
 three days, and have nothing to eat : and 
 I am not willing to dismiss them 
 lest they faint on the way. 
 
 33 c And his disciples say to him, Whence 
 have we in the desert so many loaves as to 
 satisfy so great a multitude ? 
 
 34 And Jesus saith to them, How many 
 loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, 
 and a few little fishes. 
 
 Sp And he directed the multitude to re- 
 cline on the ground. 
 
 36 And ''he took the seven loaves and the 
 fishes, and 'giving thanks, broke them, and 
 gave to his disciples, and the disciples to 
 the multitude. 
 
 37 And they all ate, and were satisfied : 
 and they took up what remained of. the 
 broken pieces, seven baskets full. 
 
 38 Ana those who ate were four thousand 
 men, beside women and children. 
 
 39 ■'And dismissing the multitude, he took 
 ship, and came into the coasts of Magdala. 
 
 CHAPTER XVI. 
 
 1 The Pharisees require a sign. 6 Jesus warneth his 
 disciples of the leaven of the Pharisees and Saddu- 
 cees. 13 The people's opinion of Christ, 16 and 
 Peter's confession of him. 21 Jesus foresheweth 
 his death, 23 reproving Peter for dissuading him 
 from it : 24 and admonisheth those that will follow 
 him, to bear the cross. 
 
 AND the a Pharisees and Sadducees 
 came up, and, tempting, asked him 
 to shew them a sign from heaven. 
 
 2 He answered and said to them, At 
 evening, ye say, Fair weather: for the sky 
 is red. 
 
 3 And in the morning, A storm to-day : 
 for the sky is red and lowering. Hypo- 
 crites! ye can discern the face of the sky; 
 and can ye not discern the signs of the 
 times ? 
 
 4 4 A wicked and adulterous generation 
 seeketh for a sign ; and there shall no sign 
 be given to it, but the sign of the prophet 
 Jonah. And he left them, and departed. 
 
 5 If Now c his disciples having come to 
 the other side, had forgotten to take bread 
 with them. 
 
 6 And Jesus said to them, d Take heed 
 and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees 
 and Sadducees. 
 
 7 And they reasoned among themselves, 
 saying, It is because we have brought no 
 bread. 
 
 8 And Jesus perceiving it, said to them, 
 
 ye of little faith, why reason ye among 
 yourselves, because ye have brought no 
 bread ? 
 
 9 'Do ye not yet understand, nor remem- 
 ber the five loaves of the five thousand, 
 and how many baskets ye took up ? 
 
 10 'Nor the seven loaves of the four 
 thousand, and how many baskets ye took 
 up? 
 
 11 How is it that ye do not understand 
 that it was not with respect to bread that 
 
 1 bade you beware of the leaven of the 
 Pharisees and of the Sadducees ?

 12 Then they understood that he bade 
 them not beware of the leaven of bread, 
 but of the teaching of the Pharisees and 
 Sadducees. 
 
 13 1f And Jesus coming into the region 
 of Cesarea Philippi, asked his disciples, 
 saying, 'Who do men say that I, the Son 
 of man, am ? 
 
 14 And they said, ''Some say, John the 
 Baptist : others, Elijah ; and others, Jere- 
 miah, or one of the prophets. 
 
 15 He saith to them, But who say ye that 
 I am? 
 
 16 And Simon Peter answering, said, 
 'Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living 
 God. 
 
 17 And Jesus answering, said to him, 
 Happy art thou, Simon Bar-jona: *for flesh 
 and blood did not reveal it to thee, but 
 'my Father who is in heaven. 
 
 18 And I also say to thee, That m thou art 
 UPeter, (Bock,) and "on this rock I will 
 build my church : and "the gates of lldeath 
 shall not prevail against it. 
 
 19 p And I will give to thee the keys of 
 the kingdom of heaven : and whatever 
 thou shalt bind on earth, shall be bound 
 in heaven : and whatever thou shalt loose 
 on earth, shall be loosed in heaven. 
 
 20 'Then he charged his disciples that 
 they should tell no one that he was the 
 Christ. 
 
 21 51 From that time Jesus began r to shew 
 to his disciples, that he must go to Jerusa- 
 lem, and suffer much from the elders, and 
 chief priests, and scribes, and be slain, and 
 rise on the third day. 
 
 22 And Peter Utaking him aside began to 
 rebuke him, saying, tBe it far from thee, 
 Lord : this shall not be to thee. 
 
 23 But he turned, and said to Peter, Get 
 behind me, 'Satan ! 'thou art an offence to 
 me: for thou favourest not the things of 
 God, but those of men. 
 
 24 If "Then Jesus said to his disciples, If 
 any one would come after me, let him 
 deny himself, and take up his cross, and 
 follow me. 
 
 25 For 'whoever will save his life, shal 1 
 lose it : and whoever loseth his life for my 
 sake, shall obtain it. 
 
 26 For what is a mau profited., if he gain 
 the whole world, and lose his life? or 
 y what ransom shall a man give for his 
 life? 
 
 27 For z the Son of man will come in the 
 glory of his Father, "with his angels ; 'and 
 then he will render to each according to 
 his conduct. 
 
 28 Verily I say to you, c There are some 
 standing here, who shall not taste of death, 
 till they see the Son of man coming in his 
 kingdom. 
 
 CHAPTER XVII. 
 
 1 The transfiguration of Christ. 14 He healeth the 
 lunatic, 22 foretelleth his own passion, 24 and 
 payeth tribute. 
 
 AND "after six days, Jesus taketh Peter, 
 James, and John his brother, and bring- 
 eth them up into an high mountain apart, 
 
 2 And was transfigured before them: and 
 his face shone as the sun, and his garments 
 became white as the light. 
 
 3 And behold, there appeared to them 
 Moses and Elijah talking with him. 
 . 4 And Peter answering, said to Jesus, 
 
 13 
 
The transfiguration of Christ. 
 
 Lord, it is good for us to be here : if thou 
 wilt, let us make here three tabernacles ; 
 one for thee, and one for Moses, and one 
 for Elijah. 
 
 5 'While he yet spoke, behold, a bright 
 cloud overshadowed them : and lo, a voice 
 from the cloud, saying, 'This is my be- 
 loved Son, d in whom I am well pleased : 
 'hear him. 
 
 6 'And the disciples hearing it, fell on 
 their face, and were exceedingly afraid. 
 
 7 And Jesus came and ^touched them, 
 and said, Arise, and be not afraid. 
 
 8 And raising their eyes, they saw no 
 one, except Jesus only. 
 
 9 And as they came down from the moun- 
 tain, "Jesus charged them, saying, Tell no 
 one what ye have seen, until the Son of 
 man is risen from the dead. 
 
 10 And his disciples asked him, saying, 
 'Why then say the scribes, that Elijah 
 must first come ? 
 
 11 And Jesus answering said to them, 
 Elijah indeed first cometh, and *will re- 
 store all things : 
 
 12 'But I say to you, that Elijah is come 
 already, and they knew him not, but m have 
 done to him whatever they chose : thus also 
 "is the Son of man about to suffer from 
 them. 
 
 13 "Then the disciples understood that he 
 spoke to them of John the Baptist. 
 
 14 ^ p And when they were come to the 
 multitude, there came to him a man kneel- 
 ing down to him, and saying, 
 
 15 Lord, pity my son ! for he is lunatic, 
 and grievously afflicted, for he often fall- 
 etli into the fire, and often into the water. 
 
 16 And I brought him to thy disciples, 
 and they could not cure him. 
 
 17 And Jesus answered and said, faith- 
 less and perverse generation! how long 
 shall I be with you ? how long shall I bear 
 with you ? Bring him hither to me. 
 
 18 And Jesus rebuked the demon, and he 
 came out of him : and the child was cured 
 from that hour. 
 
 19 Then the disciples came to Jesus 
 apart, and said, Why could not we cast 
 him out? 
 
 20 And Jesus said to them, On account of 
 your unbelief: for verily I say to you, «If 
 ye have faith as a grain of mustard-seed, 
 ye shall say to this mountain, Remove 
 hence to yonder place; and it will re- 
 move ; and nothing will be impossible to 
 you. 
 
 21 But this race goeth not out, but by 
 prayer and fasting. 
 
 22 t 'And as they were travelling in 
 Galilee, Jesus said to them, The Son of 
 man is about to be delivered into the 
 hands of men : 
 
 23 And they will slay him, and on the 
 third day he will rise. And they grieved 
 exceedingly. 
 
 24 If And 'they being come to Capernaum, 
 those who received the [| tribute-money, 
 came to Peter, and said, Doth not your 
 Teacher pay tribute ? 
 
 25 He saith, Yes. And when he entered 
 the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, 
 What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom 
 do the kings of the earth take custom or 
 tribute? of their own sons, or of stran- 
 gers ?

 saith to him, Then the sons are free. 
 
 27 But that we may not offend them, go 
 to the sea, throw a hook, and take the fish

 mouth, thou wilt find ||a piece of money: 
 take that, and give it to them for me and 
 thee. 
 
 CHAPTER XVIIL 
 
 1 Christ warneth his disciples to be humble and harm- 
 less: 7 to avoid offences, and not to despise the 
 little ones : 15 teacheth how we are to deal with 
 our brethren, when they offend us: 21 and how 
 often to forgive them : 23 which he setteth forth 
 by a parable of the king that took account of his 
 servants, 32 and punished him who shewed no 
 mercy to his fellow. 
 
 AT "that time the disciples came to 
 Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in 
 the kingdom of heaven ? 
 
 2 And Jesus calling a little child to him, 
 placed it in the midst of them, 
 
 3 And said, Yerily, I say to you, 'Unless 
 ye turn, and become as little children, ye 
 shall not enter the kingdom of heaven. 
 
 4 'Whoever therefore humbleth himself 
 as this little child, he is greatest in the 
 kingdom of heaven. 
 
 5 And d whoever receiyeth one such little 
 child in my name, receiveth me. 
 
 6 'And whoever shall be an occasion of 
 sin to one of these little ones that believe 
 in me, it were better for him that a mill- 
 stone were hung about his neck, and that 
 he were sunk in the depth of the sea. 
 
 7 If Wo to the world on account of ||temp- 
 tations! for 'it is necessary that tempta- 
 tions come ; but f wo to that man by whom 
 the temptation cometh ! 
 
 8 \A.nd if thy hand or thy foot cause thee 
 to sin, cut them off, and cast them from 
 thee-; it is better for thee to enter into life 
 lame or maimed, than having two hands or 
 two feet, to be cast into the eternal fire. 
 
 9 And if thine eye cause thee to sin, 
 pluck it out, and cast it from thee : it is 
 better for thee to enter into life with one 
 eye, than having two eyes, to be cast into 
 hell-fire. 
 
 10 Take heed that ye despise not one of 
 these little ones: for I say to you, that in 
 heaven 'their angels always 'behold the 
 face of my Father who is in heaven. 
 
 11 'For the Son of man is come to save 
 that which was lost. 
 
 12 m How think ye ? If a man have a hun- 
 dred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, 
 doth he not leave the ninety-nine, and 
 go into the mountains, and seek that which 
 is gone astray?. 
 
 13 And if it happen that he find it, verily 
 I say to you, he rejoiceth oyer it more 
 than over the ninety-nine which have not 
 strayed. 
 
 14 Thus it is not the will of your Father 
 who is in heaven, that one of these little 
 ones should perish. 
 
 15 If And "if thy brother sin against thee, 
 go and tell him his fault between thee 
 and him alone : if he hear thee, "thou hast 
 gained thy brother. 
 
 16 But if he will not hear thee, then take 
 with thee one or two more, that in ''the 
 mouth of two or three witnesses every 
 word may be established. 
 
 17 And if he disregard them, tell it to 
 
Christ teacheth forgiveness. 
 
 the congregation : and if he also disregard 
 the congregation, let him be to thee as the 
 'heathen and the publican. 
 
 18 Verily, I say to you, 'Whatever ye 
 shall bind on earth, shall be bound in hea- 
 ven: and whatever ye shall loose on earth, 
 shall be loosed in heaven. 
 
 19 'Again I say to you, That if two of 
 you shall agree on earth, concerning any 
 thing that they shall ask, 'it shall be done 
 for them by my Father who is in heaven. 
 
 20 For where two or three are assembled 
 in my name, there am I in the midst of 
 them. 
 
 21 If Then Peter came to him, and said, 
 Lord, how often shall my brother sin 
 against me, and I forgive him ? "till seven 
 times ? 
 
 22 Jesus saith to him, I say not to thee, 
 Until seven times : x but, Until seventy 
 times seven. 
 
 23 If Therefore the kingdom of heaven is 
 likened to a certain king who wished to 
 make a reckoning with his servants. 
 
 24 And as he began to reckon, one was 
 brought to him who owed him ten thousand 
 || talents. 
 
 25 But as he was not able to pay, his lord 
 commanded him "to be sold, and his wife 
 and children, and all that he had, and 
 payment to be made. 
 
 26 The servant therefore fell down, and 
 entreated him, saying, Sir, have patience 
 with me, and I will pay thee all. 
 
 27 And the lord of that servant, moved 
 with compassion, released him, and for- 
 gave him the debt. 
 
 28 But that servant going out, found one 
 of his fellow-servants, who owed him an 
 hundred Upence: and he seized him by the 
 throat, saying, Pay me what thou owest. 
 
 29 And his fellow-servant fell down at 
 his feet, and besought him, saying, Have 
 patience with me, and I will pay thee 
 all. 
 
 30 And he would not: but went and 
 threw him into prison, till he should pay 
 the debt. 
 
 31 And his fellow-servants seeing what 
 was done, were very sorry, and came and 
 told their lord all that had happened. 
 
 32 Then his lord, calling him up, said to 
 him, Thou wicked servant! I forgave thee 
 all that debt, because thou didst entreat 
 me: 
 
 33 Should est not thou also have pitied 
 thy fellow-servant, as I pitied thee ? 
 
 34 And his lord was angry, and delivered 
 him to the tormentors, till he should pay 
 all that was due to him. 
 
 35 'Thus also will my heavenly Father do 
 to you, if from your hearts ye forgive not 
 each his brother their trespasses.

 2 Christ healeth the sick : 3 answereth the Pharisees 
 concerning divorce: 10 sheweth when marriage 
 is necessary : 13 receiveth little children : 16 in- 
 structed the young man how to attain eternal life, 
 20 and how to be perfect : 23 telleth his disciples 
 how hard it is for a rich man to enter into the 
 kingdom of God, 27 and promiseth reward to those 
 that forsake any thing to follow him.

 2 'And great multitudes followed him, 
 and he healed them there. 
 
 3 K And the Pharisees came to him. 
 trying him, and saying to him, Is it lawful 
 for a man to put away his wife for every 
 cause ? 
 
 4 And he answered and said to them, 
 Have ye not read, 'that he who made them 
 at the beginning, made them male and 
 female, 
 
 5 And said, "Tor this reason a man shall 
 leave father and mother, and cleave to his 
 wife : and 'the two shall be one flesh ? 
 
 6 So that they are no longer two, but one 
 flesh. What therefore God hath joined, 
 let not man separate. 
 
 7 They say to him, ' Why then did Moses 
 command to give a bill of divorcement, and 
 to put her away? 
 
 8 He saith to them, Moses, because of 
 your stubbornness of heart, suffered you to 
 put away your wives : but at the beginning 
 it was not so. 
 
 9 ff And I say to you, Whoever shall put 
 away his wife, except for fornication, and 
 shall marry another, committeth adultery : 
 and he that marrieth her who is put away, 
 committeth adultery. 
 
 10 If His disciples say to him, "If the case 
 of the man with his wife is so, it is not 
 good to marry. 
 
 11 But he said to them, 'All men cannot 
 receive this saying, but only those to whom 
 it is given. 
 
 12 For there are eunuchs, who were so 
 born from their mother's. womb: and there 
 are eunuchs, who were made eunuchs by 
 men: and "there are eunuchs, who have 
 made themselves eunuchs for the sake of 
 the kingdom of heaven. He that is able 
 to receive it, let him receive it. 
 
 13 If 'Then there were brought to him 
 little children, that he might put his hands 
 on them, and pray: and the disciples re- 
 buked them. 
 
 14 But Jesus said, Let alone the little 
 children, and forbid them not to come to 
 me : for m of such is the kingdom of heaven. 
 
 15 And he laid his hands on them, and 
 departed thence. 
 
 16 If "And behold, one came and said to 
 him, "Good Teacher, what good thing shall 
 I do that I may have eternal life ? 
 
 17 And he said to him, Why callest thou 
 me good ? there is none good but one, that 
 is, God : but if thou wilt enter into life, 
 keep the commandments. 
 
 18 He saith to him, W T hich ? Jesus said, 
 p Thou shalt not murder, Thou shalt not 
 commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, 
 Thou shalt not bear false testimony. 
 
 19 'Honour thy father and thy mother: 
 and, 'Thou shalt love thy neighbour as 
 thyself. 
 
 20 The young man saith to him, All 
 these things I have observed from my 
 youth : what lack I yet ? 
 
 21 Jesus said to him, If thou wilt be per- 
 fect, 'go and sell thy possessions, and give 
 to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure 
 in heaven : and come, follow me. 
 
 22 And the young man hearing his words, 
 went away sorrowful : for he had great pos- 
 sessions. 
 
 23 IT Then said Jesus to his disciples, 
 Verily, I say to you, That 'a rich man will 
 
 15 
 
The parable of the labourers. 
 
 with difficulty enter into the kingdom of 
 heaven. 
 
 24 And again I say to you, It is easier 
 for a camel to go through the eye of a 
 needle, than for a rich man to enter the 
 kingdom of God. 
 
 25 And his disciples hearing it, were 
 greatly astonished, saying, Who then can 
 be saved ? 
 
 26 But Jesus looking upon them, said, 
 With men this is impossible, but "with 
 God all things are possible. 
 
 27 If x Then Peter answering, said to him. 
 Behold, "we have left all, and followed 
 thee ; what then shall we have ? 
 
 28 And Jesus said to them, Verily, I say 
 to you, That ye who have followed me, at 
 the renovation, when the Son of man shall 
 sit on the throne of his glory, z ye also shall 
 sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve 
 tribes of Israel. 
 
 29 "And every one who hath left houses, 
 or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mo- 
 ther, or wife, or children, or landsf on ac- 
 count of my name, shall receive an hun- 
 dred-fold, and shall inherit everlasting life. 
 
 30 J But many will be last who are first, 
 and first, who are last. 
 
 CHAPTER XX. 
 
 1 Christ, by the similitude of the labourers in the 
 vineyard, sheweth that God is debtor to no man : 
 17 foretelleth his suffering: 20 by answering the 
 mother of Zebedee's children, teacheth his disciples 
 to be lowly : 30 and giveth two blind men their 
 sight. 
 
 FOR the kingdom of heaven is like an 
 householder, who went out early in 
 the morning to hire labourers for his vine- 
 yard. 
 
 2 And having agreed with the labourers 
 for a Upenny a day, he sent them into his 
 vineyard. 
 
 3 And going out about the third hour, he 
 saw others standing idle in the market, 
 
 4 And said to them, Go ye also into my 
 vineyard; and whatever is right, I will 
 give you. And they went. 
 
 5 Again going out about the sixth and 
 ninth nour, he did in like manner. ■ 
 
 6 And about the eleventh hour he went 
 out, and found others standing idle, and 
 saith to them, Why stand ye here all the 
 day idle ? 
 
 7 They say to him, Because no one hath 
 hired us. He saith to them, Go ye also 
 into my vineyard ; and whatever is right 
 ye shall receive. 
 
 8 And at evening, the lord of the vine- 
 yard saith to his steward, Call the labour- 
 ers, and pay them their wages, beginning 
 from the last to the first. 
 
 9 And those came who were hired about 
 the eleventh hour, and received each a 
 penny. 
 
 10 But when the first came, they sup- 
 posed that they should receive more ; and 
 they also received each a penny. 
 
 11 And on receiving it, they murmured 
 against the householder, 
 
 12 Saying, These last ||have wroughtbut 
 one hour, and thou hast made them equal 
 to us, who have borne the burden and heat 
 of the day. 
 
 13 But he answered one of them, and 
 said, Friend, I do not wrong thee: didst 
 thou not agree with me for a penny?

 took the twelve disciples apart on the way, 
 and said to them, 
 
 ' 18 ■''Behold, we go up to Jerusalem ; and 
 the Son of man will be delivered to the 
 chief priests and scribes, and they will 
 condemn him to death, 
 
 19 s And will deliver him to the Gentiles 
 to be derided, and scourged, and crucified: 
 and on the third day he will arise. 
 
 20 If Then came to him the mother of 
 'the sons of Zebedee, with her sons, falling 
 down before him, and asking a certain thing 
 of him. 
 
 21 And he said to her, What wilt thou ? 
 She saith to him, Grant that these my two 
 sons 'may sit, the one on thy right hand, 
 and the other on thy left, in thy kingdom. 
 
 22 But Jesus answered and said, Ye 
 know not what ye ask. Can ye drink 'the 
 cup that I am to drink, and suffer '"the im- 
 mersion with which I am immersed ? They 
 say to him, We can. 
 
 23 And he saith to them, n Ye will drink 
 indeed of my cup, and be immersed with 
 my immersion: but, to sit on my right 
 hand, and on my left, is not mine to "give, 
 except to those for whom it is prepared by 
 my Father. 
 
 24 p And the ten hearing it, were angry 
 with the two brethren. 
 
 25 But Jesus calling them to him, said, 
 Ye know that the rulers of the nations ex- 
 ercise dominion over them, and the great 
 exercise authority over them. 
 
 26 'It shall not be so among you : but 
 'whoever may wish to become great among 
 you, let him be your ||minister ; 
 
 27 And whoever will be chief among 
 you, let him be your servant: 
 
 28 'Even as the "Son of man came not to 
 be ministered to, *butto minister, and "to 
 give his life a ransom z for many. 
 
 29 "And as they departed from Jericho, a 
 great multitude followed him. 
 
 30 ^f And behold, 'two blind men sitting 
 by the way-side, hearing that Jesus was 
 passing by, cried out, saying, Pity us, 
 Lord, thou son of David ! 
 
 31 And the multitude charged them to 
 be silent: but they cried the more, saying, 
 Pity us, Lord, thou son of David ! 
 
 32 And Jesus stopped, and called them, 
 and said, What will ye that I do to you ? 
 
 33 They say to him, Lord, that our eyes 
 may be opened. 
 
 34 And Jesus having compassion on them, 
 touched their eyes: and immediately their 
 eyes received sight, and they followed him. 
 
 CHAPTER XXI. 
 
 1 Christ rideth into Jerusalem upon an ass, 12 driveth 
 the buyers and sellers out of the temple, 17 curseth 
 the fig-tree, 23 put£eth to silence the priests and 
 elders, 28 and reduketh them by the similitude of 
 the two sons, 35 and the husbandmen, who slew 
 such as were sent to them. 
 
 \ ND "when they drew near to Jerusa- 
 -**- lem, and were come to Bethphage, to 
 
Christ's entry into Jerusalem. 
 
 *the mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two 
 disciples, 
 
 2 Saying to them, Go into the village over 
 against you, and immediately ye will find 
 an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, 
 and bring them to me. 
 
 3 And if any one say any thing to you, 
 ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; 
 and immediately he will send them. 
 
 4 All this took place, that it might be 
 fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, 
 saying, 
 
 5 'Say to the daughter of Zion, Behold, 
 thy King cometh to thee, meek, and sit- 
 ting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an 
 ass. 
 
 6 d And the disciples went, and did as 
 Jesus commanded them, 
 
 7 And brought the ass and the colt, and 
 •laid on them their garments, and set him 
 thereon. 
 
 8 And the most of the multitude spread 
 their garments in the way; 'others cut 
 branches from the trees, and strewed them 
 in the way. 
 
 9 And the multitudes that preceded, and 
 that followed, cried, saying, ^Hosanna to 
 the Son of David ! * Blessed is he who 
 cometh in the name of the Lord ! Hosanna 
 in the highest ! 
 
 10 'And as he entered Jerusalem, all the 
 city was shaken, saying, Who is this ? 
 
 11 And the multitude said, This is Jesus 
 *the prophet, from Nazareth of Galilee". 
 
 12 \ 'And Jesus went into the temple of 
 God, and cast out all who sold and bought 
 in the temple, and overturned the tables 
 of the ""money-changers, and the seats of 
 those who sold doves, 
 
 13 And said to them, It is written, "My 
 house shall be called a house of prayer, 
 "but ye have made it a den of robbers. 
 
 14 And the blind and the lame came to 
 him in the temple ; and he healed them. 
 
 15 And the chief priests and scribes, see 
 ing the wonders that he wrought, and the 
 children crying in the temple, and say- 
 ing, Hosanna to the Son of David ! were 
 angry, 
 
 16 And said to him, Hearest thou what 
 these say? And Jesus saith to them, Yea 
 have ye never read, 'From the mouth of 
 babes and sucklings thou hast perfected 
 praise ? 
 
 XT \ And he left them, and went out of 
 the city into 'Bethany, and spent the night 
 there. 
 
 18 r And in the morning, as he returned 
 to the city, he was hungry. 
 
 19 'And seeing ta fig-tree on the way, he 
 came to it, and found nothing on it, but 
 leaves only, and said to it, Henceforth let 
 no fruit grow on thee for ever! and imme- 
 diately the fig-tree withered away. 
 
 20 'And the disciples seeing it, wondered, 
 saying, How soon is the fig-tree withered 
 away: 
 
 21 Jesus answered and said to them, 
 Verily, I say to you, "If ye have faith, and 
 *doubt not, ye will not only do what has 
 been done to the fig-tree, "but even if ye 
 say to this mountain, Be raised and thrown 
 into the sea ; it will be done.

 Parable of the wicked husbandmen. 
 
 chief priests and the elders of the people 
 came to him as he was teaching, and 'said. 
 By what authority doest thou this? and 
 who gave thee this authority ? 
 
 24 And Jesus answered and said to them, 
 I also will ask you one thing, which if ye 
 tell me, I also will tell you by what author- 
 ity I do this. 
 
 25 John's immersion, whence was it? 
 from heaven, or from men? And they 
 reasoned with themselves, saying, If we 
 say, From heaven ; he will say to us, Why 
 then did ye not believe him ? 
 
 26 And if we say, From men; we fear 
 the people : 'for all hold John as a prophet. 
 
 27 And answering Jesus, they said, We 
 cannot tell. And ne said to them, Nei- 
 ther do I tell you by what authority I do 
 this. 
 
 28 If But what think ye? A man had two 
 sons ; and he came to the first, and said* 
 Son, go work to-day in my vineyard. 
 
 29 He answered and said, I will not; but 
 afterward repented, and went. 
 
 30 And he came to the second, and said 
 in like manner. And he answered and 
 said, I go, sir: and went not. 
 
 31 Which of the two did the will of his 
 father ? They say to him, The first. Jesus 
 saith to them, 'Verily I say to you, That 
 the publicans and the harlots go before you 
 into the kingdom of God. 
 
 32 For 'John came to you in the way of 
 righteousness, and ye believed him not: 
 ff but the publicans and the harlots believed 
 him: and ye, seeing it, did not afterward 
 repent ana believe him. 
 
 33 If Hear another parable ; There was a 
 certain householder, *who planted a vine- 
 yard, and hedged it round, and dug a 
 wine-press in it, and built a tower ; and let 
 it out to husbandmen, and 'went abroad : 
 
 34 And when the time of the fruit drew 
 near, he sent his servants to the husband- 
 men, Ho receive the fruits of it. 
 
 35 'And the husbandmen took his ser- 
 vants, and beat one, and killed another, 
 and stoned another. 
 
 36 Again he sent other servants more 
 than the first: and they did to them in 
 like manner. 
 
 37 And afterward he sent to them his 
 son, saying, They will reverence my son. 
 
 38 But when the husbandmen saw the 
 son, they said among themselves, m This is 
 the heir ; "come, let us kill him, and pos- 
 sess his inheritance. 
 
 39 "And they took him, and cast him out 
 of the vineyard, and slew him. 
 
 40 When therefore the lord of the vine- 
 yard cometh, what will he do to those 
 husbandmen ? 
 
 41 p They say to him, «He will miserably 
 destroy those wicked men, 'and will let 
 out his vineyard to other husbandmen, 
 who will render him the fruits in then- 
 seasons. 
 
 42 Jesus saith to them, 'Did ye never 
 read in the scriptures, The stone which 
 the builders rejected is become the head 
 of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, 
 and is wonderful in our eyes ? 
 
 43 Therefore I say to you, 'The kingdom 
 of God will be taken from you, and given 
 to a nation bearing its fruits. 
 
 44 And he who "falleth on this stone, 
 
 17 
 
The marriage of the king's son. 
 
 will be dashed in pieces: and on whom- 
 soever it shall fall, *it will grind him to 
 powder. 
 
 45 And the chief priests and Pharisees 
 hearing his parables, knew that he spoke 
 of them. 
 
 46 But seeking to seize him, they feared 
 the multitude, because *they held him as 
 a prophet. 
 
 CHAPTER XXII. 
 
 I The parable of the vnrriage of the king's son. 
 9 The calling of tb* Gentiles. 12 The punishment 
 of him that wanted the wedding garment. 15 Tri- 
 bute ought to be paid to Cesar. 23 Christ confuteth 
 the Sadduceer for the resurrection : 34 answereth 
 the lawyer, which is the first and great command- 
 ment : 41 and poseth the Pharisees about the Mes- 
 siah. 
 
 AND Jesus answering, "spoke to them 
 again in parables, saying, 
 
 2 The kingdom of heaven is like a king, 
 who made a marriage-feast for his son, 
 
 3 A.nd sent forth his servants to call 
 these who had been invited to the wed- 
 ding : and they would not come. 
 
 4 Again, he sent forth other servants, 
 saying, Say to those who are invited, Be- 
 hold, I have prepared my dinner: b my 
 oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all 
 is ready: come to the marriage. 
 
 5 But they, disregarding it, went off, one 
 to his field, another to his traffick. 
 
 6 And the rest, seizing his servants, 
 abused and slew them. 
 
 7 And the king, hearing it, was angry: 
 and sending forth c his soldiers, he destroy- 
 ed those murderers, and burned up their 
 city. 
 
 8 Then he saith to his servants, The 
 wedding is ready, but those who were in- 
 vited were not ''worthy. 
 
 9 Go therefore into the highways, and 
 whomsoever ye find, invite to the mar- 
 riage. 
 
 10 So those servants went out into the 
 highways, and 'assembled all whom they 
 found, both bad and good : and the wed- 
 ding was furnished with guests. 
 
 II 1f And the king coming in to survey 
 the guests, saw there a man ^not clothed 
 with a wedding-garment : 
 
 12 And he saith to him, Friend, how 
 earnest thou in here, not having a wed- 
 ding jprment? And he was speechless. 
 
 13 Then said the king to the servants, 
 Bind him hand and foot, take him away, 
 and cast him forth *into the outer dark- 
 ness: there will be weeping and gnashing 
 of teeth. 
 
 14 *For many are called, but few are 
 chosen. 
 
 15 f 'Then went the Pharisees, and took 
 counsel how they might entangle him in 
 his words. 
 
 16 And they sent out to him their disci- 
 ples, with the Herodians, saying, Teacher, 
 we know that thou art true, and teachest 
 the way of God in truth, and carest for 
 no one: for thou regardest not the per- 
 son of men. 
 
 17 Tell us then, What thinkest thou? Is 
 it lawful to give tribute to Cesar, or not? 
 
 18 But Jesus knowing their malice, said, 
 Why try ye me, ye hypocrites ? 
 
 19 Shew me the tribute-money. And 
 they brought to him a Upennv.

 ,20 And he saith to them, Whose is this

 21 They say to him, Cesar's. Then he 
 saith to them, 'Render therefore to Cesar, 
 that which is Cesar's; and to God, that 
 which is God's. 
 
 22 And hearing this, they wondered; and 
 they left him and departed. 
 
 23 1f 'The same day came to him the Sad- 
 ducees, m who say that there is no resurrec- 
 tion, and asked him, 
 
 24 Saying, Teacher, "Moses said, If a 
 man die, having no children, his brother 
 shall marry his wife, and raise up offspring 
 to his brother. 
 
 25 Now, there were with us seven bre- 
 thren: and the first married and died; 
 and having no offspring, left his wife to 
 his brother. 
 
 26 In like manner also the second, and 
 the third, to the tseventh. 
 
 27 And last of all the woman died also. 
 
 28 Now at the resurrection, whose wife 
 will she be of the seven ? for they all had 
 her. 
 
 29 Jesus answered and said to them, Ye 
 err, ?not knowing the scriptures, nor the 
 power of God. 
 
 30 For at the resurrection they neither 
 marry, nor are given in marriage, but 'are 
 as the angels of God in heaven. 
 
 31 But, concerning the resurrection of the 
 dead, have ye not read what was spoken 
 to you by God, saying, 
 
 32 r I am the God of Abraham, and the 
 God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God 
 is not the God of the dead, but of the living. 
 
 33 And the multitude hearing, 'were as- 
 tonished at his teaching. 
 
 34 If 'And the Pharisees hearing that he 
 had silenced the Sadducees, assembled to- 
 gether ; 
 
 35 And one of them, "a lawyer, asked him 
 a question, trying him, and saying, 
 
 36 Teacher, which is the great command- 
 ment in the law ? 
 
 37 Jesus said to him,-*Thou shalt love 
 the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and 
 with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 
 
 38 This is the first and great command- 
 ment. 
 
 39 And the second is like it, "Thou shalt 
 love thy neighbour as thyself. 
 
 40 *On these two commandments hang 
 all the law and the prophets. 
 
 41 If "And the Pharisees being assembled, 
 Jesus asked them, 
 
 42 Saying, What think ye of the Christ? 
 whose son is he ? They say to him, The 
 son of David. 
 
 43 He saith to them, How then doth Da- 
 vid in spirit call him Lord, saying, 
 
 44 c The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on 
 my right hand, till I make thine enemies 
 thy footstool ? 
 
 45 If then David calleth him Lord, how 
 is he his son ? 
 
 46 d And no one was able to answer him 
 a word, 'nor did any, from that day, ven- 
 ture to question him further. 
 
 CHAPTER XXIII. 
 
 1 Christ admonishTth the people to follow the good 
 doctrine, not the evil examples, of the scribes and 
 Pharisees. 5 His disciples must beware of their 
 ambition. 13 He denounceth woes against their 
 hypocrisy and blindness : 34 and prophesieth of 
 the destruction of Jerusalem. 
 
Christ pronouncetk various woes CHAPTERS XXIII. XXIV. against the scribes and Pharisees. 
 
 25 Wo to you, scribes and Pharisees, 
 hypocrites! x for ye cleanse the outside of 
 the cup and of the platter, while within 
 they are full of rapine and injustice. 
 
 26 Blind Pharisee ! cleanse first the in- 
 side of the cup and platter, that their out- 
 side may be also clean. 
 
 27 Wo to you, scribes and Pharisees 
 hypocrites ! "for ye are like whitened se- 
 pulchres, which without indeed appear 
 beautiful, but within are full of the bones 
 of the dead, and of all uncleanness. 
 
 28 Thus ye also outwardly appear right- 
 eous to men, but within are lull of hypo- 
 crisy and iniquity. 
 
 29 'Wo to you, scribes and Pharisees, 
 hypocrites-! because ye build the sepul- 
 chres of the prophets, and adorn the mo- 
 numents of the righteous, 
 
 30 And say, If we had been in the days 
 of our fathers, we would not have been 
 partakers with them in the blood of the 
 prophets. 
 
 31 So that ye bear testimony for your- 
 selves, that "ye are sons of those who mur- 
 dered the prophets. 
 
 32 'Fill up then the measure of your 
 fathers. 
 
 33 Serpents ! "race of vipers ! how can ye 
 escape the punishment of hell ? 
 
 34 Tf ^Therefore, behold, I send to you 
 prophets, and wise men, and scribes ; and 
 'some of them ye will kill and crucify, and 
 'some of them ye will scourge in your sy- 
 nagogues, and persecute from city to city : 
 
 35 «That upon you may come all the right- 
 eous blood shed upon the earth, from the 
 blood of righteous Abel,' to 'the blood of 
 Zechariah, son of Barachiah, whom ye 
 murdered between the temple and the 
 altar. 
 
 36 Verily, I say to you, All this will come 
 upon this generation. 
 
 37 'Jerusalem ! Jerusalem ! that killest 
 the prophets, 'and stonest those who are 
 sent to thee, how often would "T have 
 
 fathered thy children, as a hen gathereth 
 er chickens "under her wings, and ye 
 would not ! 
 
 38 Behold, your house is left to you deso- 
 late. 
 
 9 For I say to you, Ye will not see me 
 henceforth, till ye shall say, "Blessed is he 
 who cometh in the name of the Lord ! 
 
 THEN Jesus spoke to the multitude, 
 and to his disciples, 
 
 2 Saying, "The scribes and the Pharisees 
 sit in the seat of Moses : 
 
 3 All things then whatever they bid you 
 observe, observe and do: but do not ac- 
 cording to their deeds : for *they say, and 
 do not. 
 
 4 c For they bind heavy and intolerable 
 burdens, and lay them on men's shoul- 
 ders ; but they themselves will not stir 
 them with a finger. 
 
 5 But ''all their deeds they do to be seen by 
 men: 'they make broad their||phylacteries, 
 and enlarge the fringes of their garments, 
 
 6 ^And love the first place at feasts, and 
 the first seats in the synagogues, 
 
 7 And salutations in the markets, and to 
 be called by men, Rabbi, Rabbi. 
 
 8 <But be not ye called Rabbi : for one is 
 your Master, even Christ; and all ye are 
 brethren. 
 
 9 And call no one your father on the 
 earth : for one is your Father, he who is 
 in heaven. 
 
 10 Nor be ye called masters : for one is 
 your Master, even Christ. 
 
 11 But 'the greatest among you shall be 
 your servant. 
 
 12 *And whoever shall exalt himself, will 
 be humbled; and whoever shall humble 
 himself, will be exalted. 
 
 13 t But 'vyo to you, scribes and Phari- 
 sees, hypocrites ! tor ye shut the kingdom 
 of heaven against men : for ye neither go 
 in yourselves, nor suffer those who are 
 entering, to go in. 
 
 14 Wo to you, scribes and Pharisees, hy- 
 pocrites! m for ye devour the houses of 
 widows, and for a pretence make long 
 prayers : therefore ye will receive the 
 greater condemnation. 
 
 15 Wo to you, scribes and Pharisees, 
 hypocrites ! for ye compass sea and land 
 to make one proselyte; and when he is 
 gained, ye make him twofold more a son 
 of hell than yourselves. 
 
 16 Wo to you, "blind guides ! who say, 
 "Whoever sweareth by the temple, it is 
 nothing; but whoever sweareth by the 
 gold of the temple, is obligated. 
 
 17 Foolish and blind ! for which is great- 
 er, the gold, p or the temple that conse- 
 crateth the gold ? 
 
 18 And whoever sweareth by the altar, 
 it is nothing; but whoever sweareth by the 
 gift that is on it, is obligated. 
 
 19 Foolish and blind ! for which is great- 
 er, the gift, or 'the altar that consecrateth 
 the gift? 
 
 20 He then who sweareth by the altar, 
 sweareth by it, and by all things upon it. 
 
 21 And he who sweareth by the temple, 
 sweareth by it, and by r him who inhabit- 
 eth it. 
 
 22 And he who sweareth by heaven, 
 sweareth by 'the throne of God, and by 
 him who sitteth upon it. 
 
 23 Wo to you, scribes and Pharisees, 
 hypocrites ! 'for ye pay tithe of mint, and 
 tanise, and cummin, and "omit the more 
 important parts of the law, justice, mercy, 
 and faith: these ought ye to have done, 
 nor have left the other undone. 
 
 24 Blind guides ! who strain out the gnat, 
 and swallow the camel !

 CHAPTER XXIV. 
 
 1 Christ foretelleth the destruction of the temple: 
 3 what and how great calamities shall be before it : 
 29 the signs of his coming to judgment. 36 And 
 because that day and hour is unknown, 42 we 
 ought to watch like good servants, expecting every 
 moment our master's coming. 
 
 AND "Jesus going out, departed from the 
 temple : and his disciples came up to 
 shew him the buildings of the temple. 
 
 2 And Jesus said to them, See ye not all 
 these things? verily, I say to you, 'There 
 will not be left here one stone upon an- 
 other, that will not be thrown down. 
 
 3 «[f And as he sat upon the mount of 
 Olives, "the disciples came to him private- 
 ly, saying, d Tell us, when will this be? and 
 what is the sign of thy coming, and of the 
 end of the world ? 
 
 4 And Jesus answering, said to them, 
 Take heed that no one lead you astray. 
 
 5 For 'many will come in my name, say 
 
 19 
 
Great tribulation, and 
 
 ing, I am the Christ; *and will lead astray 
 many. 
 
 6 And ye will hear of wars, and rumours 
 of wars : see that ye be not troubled : for 
 this must take place, but the end is not yet. 
 
 7 For *nation will rise against nation, and 
 kingdom against kingdom : and there will 
 be famines, and pestilences, and earth- 
 quakes in various places. 
 
 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. 
 
 9 'Then they will deliver you up to be 
 afflicted, and will kill you: and ye will 
 be hated by all nations on account of my 
 name. 
 
 10 And then many will *fall away ; and 
 they will betray one another, and hate 
 one another. 
 
 11 And 'many false prophets will rise, 
 and m will lead many astray. 
 
 12 And because iniquity aboundeth, the 
 love of many will grow cold. 
 
 13 "But he who endureth to the end shall 
 be saved. 
 
 14 And these "glad tidings of the kingdom 
 ""will be proclaimed in all the world, for a 
 testimony to all nations; and then will the 
 end come. 
 
 15 'When, therefore, ye see the abomina- 
 tion of desolation, spoken of by 'Daniel 
 the prophet, standing in the holy place, 
 ('let him that readeth understand,) 
 
 16 Then let those in Judea flee to the 
 mountains : 
 
 17 Let him who is on the house-top not 
 come down to take the things from his 
 house : 
 
 18 Nor let him who is in the field turn 
 back to take his garments. 
 
 19 And 'wo to those with child, and to 
 those giving suck in those days ! 
 
 20 But pray that your flight be not in the 
 winter, nor on the Sabbath : 
 
 21 For "then will be great affliction, such 
 as hath not been from the beginning of the 
 world until now, nor ever shall be. 
 
 22 And unless those days should be short 
 ened, there would no flesh be saved : *but 
 for the sake of the elect those days will be 
 shortened. 
 
 23 "Then if any one say to you, Lo, here 
 is the Christ, or there; believe it not. 
 
 24 For 'false Christs and false prophets 
 will arise, and will shew great signs and 
 wonders ; so as to lead astray, "if possible, 
 even the elect. 
 
 25 Behold, I have forewarned you. 
 
 26 If then they say to you, Behold, 
 he is in the desert ; go not forth : behold, 
 he is in the secret chambers; believe it 
 not. 
 
 27 'For as the lightning cometh forth from 
 the east, and shineth to the west ; thus also 
 will be the coming of the Son of man. 
 
 28 'For wherever the carcass is, there 
 will assemble the eagles. 
 
 29 H d Immediately after the affliction of 
 those days, 'the sun will be darkened, and 
 the moon will not give her light, and the 
 stars will fall from heaven, and the powers 
 of the heavens will be shaken : 
 
 30 'And then will appear the sign of the 
 Son of man in heaven : *and then will all 
 the tribes of the earth wail, *and they will 
 see the Son of man coming on the clouds 
 of heaven with power and great glory. 
 
 31 'And he will send forth his angels

 the judgment, foretold. 
 
 ||with a loud sounding trumpet, and they 
 will bring together his elect from the four 
 winds, from one end of heaven to the 
 other. 
 
 32 Take *your comparison from the fig- 
 tree; When now its branch becometh 
 tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know 
 that summer is near : 
 
 33 Thus also ye, when ye see all this, 
 know 'that he is near, even at the doors. 
 
 34 Verily I say to you, "This generation 
 will not pass, till all this is fulfilled. 
 
 35 "Heaven and earth will pass away, 
 but my words shall not pass away. 
 
 36 If "But of that day and hour knoweth 
 no one, not even the angels of heaven, 
 'but my Father only. 
 
 37 But as the days of Noah were, so also 
 will be the coming of the Son of man. 
 
 38 'For as in the days before the flood, 
 they were eating and drinking, marrying 
 ana giving in marriage, until the day that 
 Noah entered into the ark, 
 
 39 And knew not until the flood came, 
 and swept them all aWay: so also will be 
 the coming of the Son of man. 
 
 40 'Then will two be in the field; the 
 one will be taken, and the other left. 
 
 41 Two women will be grinding at the 
 mill ; the one will be taken, and the other 
 left. 
 
 42 If 'Watch therefore, for ye know not 
 at what hour your Lord cometh. 
 
 43 'But this ye know, that if the master 
 of the house had known in what watch the 
 thief would come, he would have watched, 
 and would not have suffered his house to 
 be broken through. 
 
 44 "Therefore be ye also ready : for at an 
 hour when ye think not, the Son of man 
 cometh. 
 
 45 *Who then is the faithful and prudent 
 servant, whom his lord hath set over his 
 household, to give them their food in its 
 season ? 
 
 46 "Happy is that servant, whom his lord, 
 when he cometh, shall find so doing. 
 
 47 Verily, I say to you, That 'he will 
 appoint him over all his possessions. 
 
 48 But if that evil servant shall say in 
 his heart, My lord delayeth his coming ; 
 
 49 And shall begin to beat his fellow- 
 servants, and eat and drink with the 
 drunken ; 
 
 50 The lord of that servant will come in 
 a day when he looketh not for him, and in 
 an hour that he is not aware of, 
 
 51 And will ||cut him asunder, and ap- 
 point his portion with the hypocrites : "there 
 will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 
 
 CHAPTER XXV. 
 
 1 The parable of the ten virgins, 14 and of the talents. 
 31 Also the description of the last judgment. 
 
 THEN will the kingdom of heaven be 
 likened to ten virgins, who took their 
 lamps, and went forth to meet "the bride- 
 groom. 
 
 2 4 And five of them were prudent, and 
 five were foolish. 
 
 3 Those who^were foolish took their 
 lamps, but took no oil with them : 
 
 4 But the prudent took oil in their ves- 
 sels with their lamps. 
 
 5 And the bridegroom delaying, they all 
 slumbered and slept. 
 
The parable qfthe talents. 
 
 6 And at midnight d there arose a cry, Lo, 
 the bridegroom cometh ! go forth to meet 
 him ! 
 
 7 Then all those virgins arose, and 'trim- 
 med their lamps. 
 
 8 And the foolish said to the prudent, 
 Give us of your oil : for our lamps are 
 going out. 
 
 9 But the prudent answered, saying, We 
 fear lest there be not enough for us and 
 you : go rather to those who sell, and buy 
 for yourselves. 
 
 10 And while they went to buy, the bride- 
 groom came ; and those who were ready, 
 went in with him to the marriage: and 
 'the door was shut. 
 
 11 Afterward came also the other virgins, 
 saying, *Lord, Lord, open to us. 
 
 12 But he answered and said, Verily, I 
 say to you, *I know you not. 
 
 13 "Watch therefore, for ye know neither 
 the day nor the hour in which the Son of 
 man cometh. 
 
 14 U *For 'as a man going abroad, called 
 his own servants, and delivered to them 
 his possessions ; 
 
 15 And gave to one five ||talents, to an- 
 other two, and to another one; "to each 
 according to his respective ability; and 
 immediately went abroad. 
 
 16 Then he that had received the five 
 talents, went and traded with them, and 
 made five other talents. 
 
 17 And likewise he that had received the 
 two, he also gained two others. 
 
 18 But he that had received the one, 
 went and dug in the earth, and hid his 
 lord's money. 
 
 19 After a long time the lord of those ser- 
 vants cometh, and reckoneth with them. 
 
 20 And he that had received the five 
 talents, coming up, brought five other 
 talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst to 
 me five talents: behold, I have gained five 
 other talents besides them. 
 
 21 His lord said to him, Well done, good 
 and faithful servant; thou wert faithful 
 over a little, "I will appoint thee over 
 much : enter into "the joy of thy lord. 
 
 22 He also that had received the two 
 talents came, and said, Lord, thou deli- 
 veredst to me two talents : behold, I have 
 gained two other talents besides them. 
 
 23 His lord said to him, 'Well done, 
 good and faithful servant; thou wert faith- 
 ful over a little, I will appoint thee over 
 much : enter into the joy of thy lord. 
 
 24 Then he that had received the one 
 talent came, and said, Lord, I knew thee 
 that thou art an hard man, reaping where 
 thou didst not sow, and gathering whence 
 thou didst not scatter: 
 
 25 And I was afraid, and went and hid 
 thy talent in the earth : lo, thou hast thine 
 own. 
 
 26 His lord answering, said to him, Ma- 
 lignant and slothful servant, knewest thou 
 tli at I reap where I did not sow, and gather 
 whence I did not scatter ? 
 
 27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put 
 my money to the bankers, and then at my 
 coming I should have received my own 
 with interest. 
 
 28 Take therefore the talent from him, 
 and give it to him who hath the ten talents. 
 
 29 'For to every one that hath will be

 from him who hath not, will be taken 
 even what he hath. 
 
 30 And cast forth the unprofitable ser- 
 vant r into the outer darkness: there will

 from another, as the shepherd separateth

 33 And he will set the sheep on his right

 right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, 
 inherit the kingdom ^prepared for you from 
 the foundation of the world : 
 
 35 *For I was hungry, and ye gave me 
 food: I was thirsty, ana ye gave me drink: 
 °I was a stranger, and ye took me in : 
 
 36 'Naked, and ye clothed me: I was 
 sick, and ye visited me: C I was in prison, 
 and ye came to me. 
 
 37 Then will the righteous answer him, 
 saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, 
 and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee 
 drink ? 
 
 38 When saw we thee a stranger, and 
 took thee in ? or naked, and clothed thee ? 
 
 39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in pri- 
 son, and came to thee ? 
 
 40 And the King will answer and say to 
 them, Verily, I say to you, d Inasmuch as 
 ye have done it to one of the least of these 
 my brethren, ye have done it to me. 
 
 41 Then will he say also to those on the 
 left hand, 'Depart from me, ye cursed, 
 / into the eternal fire prepared for ff the 
 devil and his angels : 
 
 42 For I was hungry, and ye gave me no 
 food : I was thirsty, and ye gave me no 
 drink : 
 
 43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not 
 in : naked, and ye clothed me not : sick, 
 and in prison, and ye visited me not. 
 
 44 Then will they also answer him, say- 
 ing, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, or 
 thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, 
 or in prison, and did not minister to thee ? 
 
 45 Then will he answer them, saying, 
 Verily, I say to you, Inasmuch as ye did 
 it not to one of the least of these, ye did it 
 not to me. 
 
 46 And 'these will go away into eternal 
 punishment: but the righteous into eternal 
 life. 
 
 CHAPTER XXVI. 
 
 1 The rulers conspire against Christ. 6 The woman 
 anointeth his head. 14 Judas selleth him. 17 Christ 
 eateth the passover : 26 instituteth his holy supper : 
 36 prayeth in the garden : 47 and being betrayed 
 with a kiss, 57 is carried to Caiaphas, 59 and de- 
 nied of Peter. 
 
 AND it came to pass, when Jesus had 
 finished all these words, he said to his 
 disciples, 
 
 2 °Ye know that after two days is the 
 passover, and the Son of man is delivered 
 up to be crucified. 
 
 3 Then the chief priests, and the scribes, 
 and the elders of the people assembled in 
 the palace of the high priest, who was 
 called Caiaphas, 
 
 21 
 
Christ eateth the pussover. 
 
 4 And consulted that they might take 
 Jesus by fraud, and kill him. 
 
 5 But they said, Not during the feast, 
 lest there be an uproar among the people. 
 
 6 *|f 'Now Jesus being in d Bethany, in the 
 house of Simon the leper, 
 
 7 There came to him a woman having an 
 alabaster-box of very precious ointment, 
 and poured it on his head as he reclined 
 at table. 
 
 8 'But his disciples seeing it, complained, 
 saying, Why this waste f 
 
 9 For this ointment might have been sold 
 for much, and given to the poor. 
 
 10 But Jesus perceiving it, said to them, 
 Why trouble ye the woman r for she hath 
 wrought a good work upon me. 
 
 11 'For ye have the poor always with 
 you ; but s me ye have not always. 
 
 12 For she, in pouring this ointment on 
 my body, did it for my burial. 
 
 13 Verily, I say to you, Wherever these 
 glad tidings are proclaimed in the whole 
 world, there also what she hath done will 
 be told for a memorial of her. 
 
 14 "|f "Then one of the twelve, called 'Ju- 
 das Iscariot, went to the chief priests, 
 
 15 And said to them, 'What will ye give 
 me, and I will deliver him to you ? And 
 they weighed for him thirty pieces of silver. 
 
 16 And from that time he sought oppor- 
 tunity to betray him. 
 
 17 If ! Now, on the first day of the feast 
 of unleavened bread, the disciples came 
 to Jesus, saying to him, Where wilt thou 
 that we prepare for thee to eat the pass- 
 over ? 
 
 18 And he said, Go into the city to such 
 a man, and say to him, The Teacher saith, 
 My time is near ; I will keep the passover 
 at thy house with my disciples. 
 
 19 And the disciples did as Jesus di- 
 rected them ; and they prepared the pass- 
 over. 
 
 20 m And when evening came, he reclined 
 at table with the twelve. 
 
 21 And as they were eating, he said, 
 Verily I say to you, that one of you will 
 betray me. 
 
 22 And being exceedingly sorrowful, they 
 began each one of them to say to him, Lord, 
 is it I? 
 
 23 And he answered and said, "He who 
 dippeth his hand with me in the dish, he 
 will betray me. 
 
 24 The Son of man goeth indeed, "as it is 
 written of him : but %o to that man by 
 whom the Son of man is betrayed ! it were 
 better for that man if he had not been born ! 
 
 25 And Judas, who betrayed him, an- 
 swering, said, Master, is it I ? He said to 
 him, Thou hast said it. 
 
 26 If 'And as they were eating, r Jesus 
 took the loaf, and || having blessed it, 
 broke, and gave it to the disciples, and 
 said, Take, eat ; 'this is my body. 
 
 27 And he took the cup, and giving 
 thanks, gave it to them, saying, 'Drink ye 
 all of it ; 
 
 28 For "this is my blood, that *of the new 
 covenant, which is shed sfor many for the 
 remission of sins. 
 
 29 And 'I say to you, I will not drink 
 henceforth of this fruit of the vine, "until 
 that day when I drink it new with you in 
 the kingdom of my Father.

 Ms agony and prayer in the garden. 
 
 30 'And they sung an'||hymn, and went 
 out into the mount of Olives. 
 
 31 Then saith Jesus to them, 'Ye will all 
 d forsake me this night : for it is written, 'I 
 will smite the Shepherd, and the sheep of 
 the flock will be scattered. 
 
 32 But after I am risen, 'I will go before 
 you into Galilee. 
 
 33 Peter answered and said to him, 
 Though all shall forsake thee, yet never 
 will I forsake thee. 
 
 34 Jesus said to him, g Verily, I say to 
 thee, That on this night, before the cock 
 crow, thou wilt thrice deny me. 
 
 35 Peter said to him, Though I must die 
 with thee, I will never deny thee. So also 
 said all the disciples. 
 
 36 If A Then Jesus cometh with them to a 
 place called Gethsemane, and saith to the 
 disciples, Sit here, while I go and pray 
 yonder. 
 
 37 And taking with him Peter, and 'the 
 two sons of ZeDedee, he began to be sor- 
 rowful and full of anguish. 
 
 38 Then he saith to them, *My soul is 
 exceedingly sorrowful, even to death : re- 
 main here, and watch with me. 
 
 39 And going forward a little, he fell 
 on his face, and 'prayed, saying, m My 
 Father, if it is possible, "let this cup pass 
 from me: yet, "not as I will, but as thou 
 wilt. 
 
 40 And he cometh to the disciples, and 
 findeth them sleeping, and saith to Peter, 
 What ! could ye not watch with me one 
 hour? 
 
 41 'Watch and pray, that ye enter not 
 into trial : the spirit indeed is willing, but 
 the flesh is weak. 
 
 42 He went away again the second time, 
 and prayed, saying, My Father, if this cup 
 may not pass from me, except I drink it, 
 thy will be done. 
 
 43 And he came and found them sleeping 
 again : for their eyes were heavy. 
 
 44 And leaving them, he went away again, 
 and prayed the third time, saying the same 
 words. 
 
 45 Then he cometh to his disciples, and 
 saith to them, Sleep henceforth, and rest : 
 behold, the hour is near, and the Son of 
 man is delivered into the hands of sin- 
 ners. 
 
 46 Arise ! let us be going ! lo, he is at 
 hand who betrayeth me. 
 
 47 If And 'while he was yet speaking, lo, 
 Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with 
 him a great multitude with swords and 
 staves, from the chief priests and elders 
 of the people. 
 
 48 And he who betrayed him, had given 
 them a sign, saying, The man whom I shall 
 kiss, is he ; seize upon him. 
 
 49 And immediately coming up to Jesus, 
 he said, Hail, Master; 'and kissed him. 
 
 50 And Jesus said to him, 'Friend, for 
 what art thou come? Then coming up, 
 they laid hands on Jesus, and took him. 
 
 51 And behold, 'one of those who were 
 with Jesus, stretched out his hand, and 
 drawing his swerd, struck the servant of 
 the high priest, and cut oft" his ear. 
 
 52 Then said Jesus to him, Return thy 
 sword to its place : "for all who take the 
 sword, will perish by the sword. 
 
 53 Or thinkest thou that I cannot now 
 
Jesus is carried to Caiaphas. 
 
 pray to my Father, and he will give me 
 'more than twelve legions of angels ? 
 
 54 But how then shall the scriptures be 
 fulfilled, "that thus it must be ? 
 
 55 In that hour Jesus said to the multi- 
 tudes, Are ye come out as against a robber 
 with swords and staves to take me ? I sat 
 daily with you teaching in the temple, and 
 ye did not seize upon me : 
 
 56 But all this hath taken place, that the 
 "writings of the prophets may be fulfilled. 
 Then "all the disciples left him, and fled. 
 
 57 If "And those who had taken Jesus, 
 led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, 
 where the scribes and the elders were as- 
 sembled. 
 
 58 But Peter followed him at a distance, 
 to the high priest's palace, and went in, 
 and sat among the servants to see the end. 
 
 59 And the chief priests, and elders, and 
 all the council, were seeking false testi- 
 mony against Jesus, through which to put 
 him to death ; 
 
 60 But found none: nay, though c many 
 false witnesses came, yet they found none. 
 But at last came d two false witnesses, 
 
 61 And said, This man said, 'I am able 
 to destroy the temple of God, and to build 
 it in three days. 
 
 62 'And the high priest arose, and said to 
 him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it 
 which these testify against thee ? 
 
 63 But g Jesus was sdent. And the high 
 priest answered and said to him, "I adjure 
 thee by the living God, that thou tell us 
 whether thou art the Christ, the Son of 
 God. 
 
 64 Jesus saith to him, Thou hast said it : 
 nay, I say to you, "Hereafter ye shall see 
 the Son of man 'sitting at the right hand 
 of power, and coming oh the clouds of 
 heaven. 
 
 65 'Then the high priest rent his gar- 
 ments, saying, He hath spoken blasphe- 
 my; what further need have we of wit- 
 nesses ? behold, now ye have heard his 
 blasphemy. 
 
 65 What think ye ? They answered and 
 said, m He is worthy of death. 
 
 67 "Then they spit in his face, and struck 
 him with their fists, and "others with their 
 llopen hands, 
 
 68 Saying, ^Prophesy to us, Christ, "Who 
 is it that smote thee ? 
 
 69 If 'But Peter sat without in the court: 
 and a maid-servant came to him, saying, 
 Thou also wast with Jesus the Galilean. 
 
 70 But he denied before them all, saying, 
 I know not what thou say est. 
 
 71 And as he went out into the porch, 
 another maid saw him, and said to those 
 who were there, This man was with Jesus 
 the Nazarene. 
 
 72 And again he denied with an oath, I 
 do not know the man. 
 
 73 And after a little those who stood by 
 came up, and said to Peter, Surely thou 
 also art one of them; for thy 'speech be- 
 tiayeth thee. 
 
 74 Then "he began to curse and to swear, 
 I know not the man. And immediately the 
 cock crowed. 
 
 75 And Peter remembered the word of 
 Jesus, who had said to him, 'Before the 
 cock crow, thou wilt thrice deny me. And 
 he went out, and wept bitterly.

 Judas hangeth himself. 
 CHAPTER XXVII. 
 
 1 Christ is delivered bound to Pilate. 3 Judas hang- 
 eth himself. 19 Pilate, admonished by his wife, 
 24 washeth his hands : 26 and looseth Barabbas. 
 29 Christ is crowned with thorns, 34 crucified, 
 40 reviled, 50 dieth, and is buried : 66 his sepul- 
 chre is sealed, and watched. 
 
 WHEN the morning came, "all the 
 chief priests and elders of the people, 
 took counsel against Jesus to put him to 
 death. 
 
 2 And they bound him, and led him 
 away, and 'delivered him to Pontius Pi- 
 late the governor. 
 
 3 }} "Then Judas, who had betrayed him, 
 seeing that he was condemned, repented, 
 and returned the thirty pieces of silver to 
 the chief priests and elders, 
 
 4 Saying, I have sinned in betraying in- 
 nocent blood. And they said, What is it 
 to us ? see thou to that. 
 
 5 And he threw down the pieces of silver 
 in the temple, ''and departed ; and he went 
 away and hung himself. 
 
 6 And the chief priests taking the silver 
 pieces, said, It is not lawful to put them 
 into the treasury, since they are the price 
 of blood. 
 
 7 And having taken counsel, they bought 
 with them the potter's field, as a burial- 
 place for strangers. 
 
 8 Wherefore that field was called, 'The 
 field of blood, to this day. 
 
 9 Then was fulfilled what was spoken by 
 Jeremiah the prophet, saying, 'And they 
 took the thirty pieces of silver, the price 
 of him who was valued, ||whom the sons 
 of Israel valued ; 
 
 10 And they gave them for the potter's 
 field, as the Lord directed me. 
 
 11 And Jesus stood before the governor: 
 s and the governor asked him, saying, Art 
 thou the King of the Jews ? And Jesus 
 said to him, A Thou sayest it. 
 
 12 And while he was accused by the chief 
 priests and elders, 'he answered nothing. 
 
 13 Then saith Pilate to him, *Hearest 
 thou not how much they testify against 
 thee? 
 
 14 And he answered him not even a 
 word ; so that the governor wondered 
 greatly. 
 
 15 'Now at the feast, the governor was 
 accustomed to release to the people a pri- 
 soner, whom they chose. 
 
 16 And they had then a noted prisoner, 
 called Barabbas. 
 
 17 Therefore, they being assembled, Pi- 
 late said to them, Whom do ye wish that 
 I release to you ? Barabbas, or Jesus, who 
 is called Christ ? 
 
 18 (For he knew that from envy they had 
 delivered him up.) 
 
 19 If And as he sat upon the tribunal, his 
 wife sent to him, saying, Have nothing to 
 do with that just man : for I have suffered 
 much to-day in a dream, on account of 
 him. 
 
 20 m But the chief priests and elders per- 
 suaded the multitude to ask Barabbas, and 
 destroy Jesus. 
 
 21 And the governor answering, said to 
 them, Which of the two do ye wish that I 
 release to you ? They said, Barabbas. 
 
 22 Pilate saith to them. What then shaK 
 I do with Jesus, who is called Christ? 
 
 23 
 
Christ is crucified. 
 
 MATTHEW. 
 
 They 
 
 it 
 
 all say to him. Let him be cruci- 
 fied! 
 
 23 And the governor said. Why! what 
 evil hath he done? But they cried out 
 the more, saying, Let him be crucified ! 
 
 24 And Pilate seeing that he could pre- 
 vail nothing, but that there rather arose a 
 tumult, "took water, and washed his hands 
 before the multitude, saying, I am inno- 
 cent of the blood of this just person : see 
 ye to it. 
 
 25 And all the people answering, said, 
 "His blood be on us, and on our children ! 
 
 26 If Then he released Barabbas to them : 
 and 'scourging Jesus, delivered him to be 
 crucified. 
 
 27 'Then the soldiers of the governor took 
 Jesus into the Hpalace, and gathered round 
 him the whole band. 
 
 28 And they stripped him, and 'put on 
 him a scarlet robe ; 
 
 29 'And braiding a crown of thorns, they 
 put it on his head, and a reed in his right 
 hand: and kneeling before him, they scoff- 
 ed at him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews! 
 
 30 And 'they spit upon him, and took the 
 reed, and kept smiting him on the head. 
 
 31 And when they had made sport of 
 him, they took off from him the robe, and 
 
 f»ut on him his own garments ; "and they 
 ed him away to be crucified. 
 
 32 "And as they went forth, "they found 
 a Cyrenean, named Simon : him they com- 
 pelled to bear his cross. 
 
 33 If 'And coming to a place called Gol- 
 gotha, (that is to say, A place of a skull,) 
 
 34 "They gave him vinegar to drink, 
 mingled with gall : and having tasted it, 
 he would not drink. 
 
 35 *And having nailed him to the cross, 
 they divided his garments, casting lots: 
 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken 
 by the prophet; 'They divided my garments 
 among them, and cast lots upon my rai- 
 ment. 
 
 36 d And sitting down, they watched him 
 there: 
 
 37 And they 'placed over his head his ac- 
 cusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE 
 KING OF THE JEWS. 
 
 38 'Then there were two robbers cruci- 
 fied with him : one on the right hand, and 
 another on the left. 
 
 39 If And e those who passed by, reviled 
 him, shaking their heads, 
 
 40 And saying, Thou who destroyest the 
 temple, and buildest it in three days, save 
 thyself! 'If thou art the Son of God, come 
 down from the cross ! 
 
 41 And in like manner also the chief 
 priests, scoffing at him, with the scribes 
 and elders, said, 
 
 42 He saved others ; himself he cannot 
 save ! If he is the King of Israel, let him 
 now come down from the cross, and we 
 will believe him. 
 
 43 *He trusted in God; let him deliver 
 him now if he loveth him : for he said, I 
 am the Son of God. 
 
 44 ! In the same way also the robbers who 
 were crucified with him, upbraided him. 
 
 45 m Now, from the sixth nour there was 
 darkness over all the land until the ninth 
 hour. 
 
 46 And about the ninth hour "Jesus cried 
 with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama

 Elijah. 
 
 48 And immediately one of them ran, 
 and took a sponge, 'and filling it with 
 vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave him to 
 drink. 
 
 49 The rest said, Wait, let us see whe- 
 ther Elijah will come to save him. 
 
 50 1 'And Jesus, crying again with a loud 
 voice, yielded up his spirit. 
 
 51 And lo, r the vail of the temple was 
 rent in two from the top to the bottom: 
 and the earth was shaken, and the rocks 
 were rent ; 
 
 52 And the graves were opened, and 
 many bodies of sleeping saints arose, 
 
 53 And coming out of their graves after 
 his resurrection, went into the holy city, 
 and appeared to many. 
 
 54 'And the centurion, and those who 
 with him were watching Jesus, on seeing 
 the earthquake, and what took place, fear- 
 ed greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son 
 of God ! 
 
 55 And many women were there behold- 
 ing from a distance, 'who followed Jesus 
 from Galilee, ministering to him : 
 
 56 "Among whom was Mary Magdalene, 
 and Mary the mother of James and Joses, 
 and the mother of the sons of Zebedee. 
 
 57 'And evening coming, there came a 
 rich man of Arimathea, named Joseph, 
 who was himself also a disciple of Jesus : 
 
 58 He went to Pilate, and begged the 
 body of Jesus. Then Pilate directed the 
 body to be delivered. 
 
 59 And Joseph taking the body, wrapped 
 it in a clean linen cloth, 
 
 60 And "laid it in his own new tomb, 
 which he had hewn in the rock; and roll- 
 ing up a great stone to the door of the se- 
 pulchre, he departed. 
 
 61 And Mary Magdalene was there, and 
 the other Mary, sitting over against the 
 sepulchre. 
 
 62 % And on the morrow, the day after 
 the preparation, the chief priests and Pha- 
 risees came together to Pilate, 
 
 63 Saying, Sir, we remember that that 
 deceiver said, while yet living, * After 
 three days I arise. 
 
 64 Command therefore that the sepulchre 
 be secured until the third day, lest his dis- 
 ciples, coming by night, steal him away, 
 and say to the people, He is risen from the 
 dead : and the last deception will be worse 
 than the first. 
 
 65 Pilate said to them, Ye have a guard : 
 go, make it as secure as ye can. 
 
 66 So they went and secured the sepul- 
 chre, "sealing the stone, and placing a guard . 
 
 CHAPTER XXVIII. 
 
 1 Christ's resurrection is declared by an angel to the 
 women. 9 He himself appeareth to them. 1 1 The 
 high priests give the soldiers money to say that he 
 was stolen out of his sepulchre. 16 Christ appear- 
 eth to his disciples, \9and sendeth them to disciple ■ 
 and teach all nations. 
 
 AFTER "the Sabbath, as the first day 
 of the week was dawning. Mary Mag- 
 dalene came with 'the other Mary, to see 
 the sepulchre. 
 2 And behold, there had been a great 
 
Christ appcareth to the women, 
 
 earthquake : for c an angel of the Lord de- 
 scending from heaven, had come and rolled 
 back the stone from the door, and was 
 sitting upon it. 
 
 3 d His countenance was like lightning, 
 and his raiment white as snow. 
 
 4 And from fear of him the keepers shook, 
 and became as dead. 
 
 5 And the angel answering, said to the 
 women, Fear not ye : for I know that ye 
 seek Jesus, who was crucified. 
 
 6 He is not here : for he is risen, 'as he 
 said. Come, see the place where the Lord 
 lay. 
 
 7 And go quickly, and tell his disciples, 
 that he is risen from the dead; and behold, 
 'he goeth before you into Galilee; there 
 shall ye see him : lo, I have told you. 
 
 8 And going out quickly from the sepul- 
 chre with fear and great joy, they ran to 
 bear word to his disciples. 
 
 9 If And as they went to bear word to his 
 disciples, behold, s Jesus met them, saying, 
 Hail. And they coming up, took hold of 
 his feet, and worshipped him. 
 
 10 Then said Jesus to them, Fear not: 
 go tell *my brethren, that they go into 
 Galilee, and there they will see me. 
 
 11 If Now, as they were going, behold,

 Tf THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO MARK. 
 
 CHAPTER I. 
 
 1 The office of John the Baptist. 9 Jesus is immersed, 
 12 tempted, 14 he preacheth : 16 calleth Peter, An- 
 drew, James, and John : 23 healeth one that had a 
 demon, 29 Peter's mother-in-law, 32 many diseased 
 persons, 41 and cleanseth the leper. 
 
 THE beginning of the gospel of Jesus 
 Christ "the Son of God; 
 
 2 As it is written in the prophets, 'Be- 
 hold, I send my messenger before thy face, 
 who will prepare thy way before thee ; 
 
 3 'The voice of one crying in the desert, 
 Prepare the way of the Lord ! make straight 
 his paths! 
 
 4 "\John came immersing in the desert, 
 and proclaiming the immersion of repent- 
 ance, for the remission of sins. 
 
 5 'And there went forth to him all the 
 country of Judea, and all those of Jerusa- 
 lem, and were immersed by him in the 
 river Jordan, confessing their sins. 
 
 6 And John was 'clothed with camel's 
 hair, and with a leathern girdle about his 
 loins : and he ate ^locusts and wild honey ; 
 
 7 And proclaimed, saying, ''One mightier 
 than I cometh after me, whose shoe-latchet 
 I am not worthy to stoop down and un 
 loose. 
 
 8 'I indeed immerse you in water: but 
 he will immerse you ft in the Holy Spirit. 
 
 9 'And it came to pass in those days, that 
 Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and 
 was immersed by John in the Jordan. 
 
 10 m And immediately coming up from the 
 water, he saw the heavens parted, and the 
 Spirit like a dove descending upon him. 
 
 11 And a voice came from heaven, say- 
 ing, "Thou art my beloved Son, in whom 
 I am well pleased. 
 
 12 "And immediately the Spirit urgeth 
 him into the desert. 
 
 13 And he was there in the desert

 forty days tempted by Satan; and was 
 among the wild beasts; p and the angels 
 ministered to him. 
 
 14 'But after John was put in prison, 
 Jesus came into Galilee, 'proclaiming the 
 glad tidings of the kingdom of God, 
 
 15 And saying, 'The time is fulfilled, and 
 'the kingdom of God is at hand: repent, 
 and believe the glad tidings. 
 
 16 "And while walking along the sea of 
 Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew his 
 brother, casting a net into the sea: for 
 they were fishermen. 
 
 17 And Jesus said to them, Come after 
 me, and I will make you become fishers 
 of men. 
 
 18 And immediately 'they left their nets, 
 and followed him. 
 
 19 "And going on thence a little, he saw 
 James the son of Zebedee, and John his 
 brother, who also were in the ship mend- 
 ing their nets. 
 
 20 And immediately he called them : and 
 they left their father Zebedee in the ship 
 with the hired servants, and went after 
 him. 
 
 21 *And they went into Capernaum ; and 
 immediately on the Sabbath he entered 
 the synagogue and taught. 
 
 22 "And they were astonished at his 
 teaching: for he taught them as having 
 authority, and not as the scribes. 
 
 23 'And there was in their synagogue a 
 man with an unclean spirit; and he cried 
 out, 
 
 24 Saying, Ah! 'what have we to do with 
 thee, Jesus of Nazareth ? art thou come to 
 destroy us ? I know thee who thou art, the 
 Holy One of God ! 
 
 25 And Jesus d rebuked him, saying, Be 
 silent, and come out of him. 
 
 26 And the unclean spirit 'rending him, 
 
 25 
 
Christ healeth many sick. 
 
 and crying with a loud voice, came out of 
 him. 
 
 27 And they were all amazed, so that 
 they questioned among themselves, saying, 
 What is this ? what new teaching is this ? 
 for with authority he commandeth even the 
 unclean spirits, and they obey him. 
 
 28 And his fame spread immediately 
 through all the surrounding region of 
 Galilee. 
 
 29 'And forthwith, coming out of the 
 synagogue, they entered into the house 
 of Simon and Andrew, with James and 
 John. 
 
 30 And the mother-in-law of Simon lay 
 sick with a fever; and immediately they 
 tell him of her. 
 
 31 And he came, and taking her by the 
 hand, lifted her up ; and immediately the 
 fever left her, and she ministered to them. 
 
 32 *And at evening, when the sun- was set, 
 they brought to him all the sick, and the 
 demoniacs. 
 
 33 And the whole city was assembled at 
 the door. 
 
 34 And he healed many who were sick 
 of various diseases, and cast out many 
 demons ; and *suffered not the demons ||to 
 speak, because they knew him. 
 
 35 And 'in the morning, while it was yet 
 dark, he arose and went out; and went 
 away into a solitary place, and there 
 prayed. 
 
 36 And Simon, and those with him, fol- 
 lowed after him. 
 
 37 And on finding him, they said to him, 
 All are seeking thee. 
 
 38 And he saith to them, 'Let us go into 
 the neighbouring towns, that I may pro- 
 claim the good news there also : since 'for 
 this I am come forth. 
 
 39 m And he proclaimed it in their syna- 
 gogues throughout all Galilee, and cast 
 out demons. 
 
 40 "And a leper came to him, beseeching, 
 and kneeling to him, and saying to him, 
 If thou wilt, thou canst, cleanse me. 
 
 41 And Jesus, having compassion, put 
 forth his hand, and touched him, and saith 
 to him, T will ; be cleansed. 
 
 42 And as he spoke, immediately the 
 leprosy departed from him, and he was 
 cleansed. 
 
 43 And strictly charging him, he imme- 
 diately sent him away ; 
 
 44 And saith to him, See thou say no- 
 thing to any one ; but go, shew thyself to 
 the priest, and offer for thy cleansing what 
 "Moses commanded, for a testimony to 
 them. 
 
 45 *But he going out, began to publish it 
 much, and to spread the report, so that 
 Jesus could no longer openly enter the 
 city, but was without in desert places: 
 'and they came to him from every quarter.

 He restoreth the paralytic. 
 
 even about the door: and he spoke the 
 word to them. 
 
 3 And they come to him, bringing a para- 
 lytic, carried by four. 
 
 4 And being unable to come near him, on 
 account of the crowd, they uncovered the 
 roof where he was: and breaking through, 
 they let down the couch on which the 
 paralytic lay. 
 
 5 And Jesus seeing their faith, saith to 
 the paralytic, Son, thy sins are forgiven 
 thee. 
 
 6 But some of the scribes were sitting 
 there, and reasoning in their hearts, 
 
 7 Why doth this man thus speak blasphe- 
 mies ? 'who can forgive sins but God alone ? 
 
 8 And immediately, "Jesus knowing in 
 his spirit that they so reasoned within 
 themselves, said to them, Why reason ye 
 thus in your hearts ? 
 
 9 ''Which is easier to say to the paralytic, 
 Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, 
 Arise, take up thy couch, and walk ? 
 
 10 But that ye may know that the Son of 
 man hath power on earth to forgive sins, 
 (he saith to the paralytic,) 
 
 11 1 say to thee, Arise, take up thy couch, 
 and go into thy house. 
 
 12 And immediately he arose, took up 
 his couch, and went out before them all ; 
 so that they were all amazed, and glorified 
 God, saying, We never saw it thus ! 
 
 13 'And he went forth again to the sea ; 
 and all the multitude resorted to him, and 
 he taught them. 
 
 14 / And passing along, he saw Levi, son 
 of Alpheus, sitting at the custom-house, 
 and saith to him, Follow me. And he 
 arose, and followed him. 
 
 15 fAnd it came to pass, as Jesus reclined 
 at table in his house, many publicans and 
 sinners also reclined with Jesus and his 
 disciples ; for there were many, and they 
 followed him. 
 
 16 The scribes and Pharisees saw him 
 eating with publicans and sinners, and 
 said to his disciples, How is it that he 
 eateth and drinketh with publicans and 
 sinners ? 
 
 17 Jesus hearing it, saith to them, 'Those 
 who are well need not a physician, but 
 those who are sick : I came not to call the 
 righteous, but sinners, to repentance. 
 
 18 'And the disciples of John, and of the 
 Pharisees, used to fast: and they come, 
 and say to him, Why do the disciples of 
 John, and of the Pharisees fast, and thy 
 disciples fast not ? 
 
 19 And Jesus said to them, Can the ||sons 
 of the bride-chamber fast, while the bride- 
 groom is with them ? As long as they have 
 the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast. 
 
 20 But the days will come, when the bride- 
 groom will be taken away from them, and 
 then they will fast in those days. 
 
 21 And no one seweth a piece of undress- 
 ed cloth on an old garment : else the new 
 piece that is supplied, taketh away from 
 the old, and the rent is made worse. 
 
 22 And no one putteth new wine into old 
 llbottles: else^the new wine bursteth the 
 bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the 
 bottles perish: but new wine must be put 
 into new bottles. 
 
 23 *And it happened, that ho went on the 
 Sabbath through the fields of grain ; and 
 
The withered hand healed. 
 
 his disciples began, as they went, 'to pluck 
 the ears of grain. 
 
 24 And the Pharisees said to him, Be- 
 hold, why do they on the Sabbath that 
 which is not lawful ? 
 
 25 And he said to them, Have ye never 
 read m what David did, when he had need, 
 and was hungry, he and those with him ? 
 
 26 How he went into the house of God, 
 in the time of Abiathar the high priest, and 
 ate the||shew-bread, "which it is not lawful 
 to eat, except for the priests, and gave also 
 to those who were with him ? 
 
 27 And he said to them, The Sabbath was 
 made for man, not man for the Sabbath : 
 
 28 So that "the Son of man is Lord also 
 of the Sabbath.

 CHAPTER IV. 
 
 1 The parable of the sower, 14 and the meaning there- 
 of. 21 We must communicate the light of our 
 knowledge to others. 26 The parable of the seed 
 growing secretly, 30 and of the mustard-seed. 
 35 Christ stilleth the tempest on the sea. 
 
 AND "he began again to teach by the 
 sea-side: and there was gathered to 
 him a great multitude, so that tie entered 
 the ship, and sat in the sea: and the whole 
 multitude was by the sea, on the land. 
 
 2 And he taught them much by parables, 
 *and said to them in his teaching, 
 
 3 Hearken ; Behold, the sower went out 
 to sow. 
 
 4 And it happened, as he sowed, some 
 fell by the way-side, and the birds of hea- 
 ven came and devoured it. 
 
 5 And some fell on the rocky ground, 
 where it had not much earth; and imme- 
 diately it sprang up, because it had no 
 depth of earth : 
 
 the sun arose, it was 
 because it had no root, it 
 
 6 But when 
 scorched; and 
 withered away 
 
 27 
 
The parable of the sower explained. 
 
 7 And some fell among the thorns, and 
 the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it 
 yielded no fruit. 
 
 8 And other fell on the good ground, 'and 
 yielded fruit that sprang up and increased, 
 and it bore some thirty, and some sixty, 
 and some an hundred. 
 
 9 And he said to them, He that hath ears 
 to hear, let him hear. 
 
 10 ''And when he was alone, those about 
 him, with the twelve, asked him concern- 
 ing the parable. 
 
 11 And he said to them, To you it is given 
 to know the secrets of the kingdom of God : 
 but to 'those without, all is done in para- 
 bles: 
 
 12 'That while seeing they may not per- 
 ceive; and hearing they may not under- 
 stand; lest they turn, and their sins be 
 forgiven them. 
 
 13 And he said to them, Know ye not 
 this parable ? and how then will ye know 
 all my parables ? 
 
 14 If s The sower soweth the word. 
 
 15 And these are they by the way-side, 
 where the word is sown, and when they 
 have heard, Satan cometh immediately, 
 and taketh away the word that was sown 
 in their hearts. 
 
 16 And these are in like manner those 
 sown on the rocky ground ; who, when 
 they have heard the word, immediately 
 receive it with gladness ; 
 
 17 And have no root in themselves, but 
 endure only for a time : then, when afflic- 
 tion or persecution ariseth on account of 
 the word, they immediately fall away. 
 
 18 And these are they that are sown 
 among the thorns; such as hear the word, 
 
 19 And the cares of this world, *and the 
 deceitfulness of riches, and the desires of 
 other things coming in, choke the word, 
 and it becometh unfruitful. 
 
 20 And these are they that are sown on 
 the good ground ; such as hear the word, 
 and receive it, and bear fruit, some thirty- 
 fold, some sixty, and some an hundred. 
 
 21 If 'And he said to them, Is the lamp 
 brought to be put under the llmeasure, or 
 under the bed ? and not to be placed on 
 the stand ? 
 
 22 *For there is nothing hidden, which 
 will not be manifested ; nor is any thing 
 kept secret, but that it should come to 
 light. 
 
 23 'If any one hath ears to hear, let him 
 hear. 
 
 24 And he said to them, Take heed what 
 ye hear : m With what measure ye mete, it 
 will be measured to you : and to you who 
 hear, more will be given. 
 
 25 "For he that hath, to him shall be 
 given: and he that hath not, from him 
 shall be taken even what he hath 
 
 26 If And he said, "So is the 
 of God, as if a man cast seed into the 
 ground ; 
 
 27 And sleep and wake night and day, 
 and the seed spring and grow up, he 
 knoweth not how. 
 
 28 For the earth beareth fruit of itself; 
 first the blade, then the ear, then the full 
 corn in the ear. 
 
 29 But when the fruit Happeareth, imme- 
 diately p he putteth in the sickle, because 
 the harvest is come.

 Christ stilleth a tempest. 
 
 30 f And he said, «To what shall we 
 liken the kingdom of God f or with what 
 comparison shall we compare it? 
 
 31 It is like a grain of mustard-seed, 
 which, when it is sown in the earth, is 
 less than all the seeds in the earth : 
 
 32 But when it is sown, it groweth up, 
 and becometh larger than all herbs, and 
 shooteth out great branches; so that the 
 birds of heaven can lodge under its shadow. 
 
 33 r And with many such parables he 
 spoke to them the word, as they were able 
 to hear it. 
 
 34 But without a parable he did not speak 
 to them : and he privately explained all to 
 his disciples. 
 
 35 'And on that day at evening, he saith 
 to them, Let us pass to the other side. 
 
 36 And leaving the multitude, they took 
 him as he was in the ship. And there were 
 other ships with him. 
 
 37 And there arose a great storm of wind, 
 and the waves dashed into the ship, so 
 that it was now becoming full. 
 
 38 And he was in the stern, asleep on a 
 pillow: and they awake him, and say to 
 him, Teacher! carest thou not that we 
 perish ? 
 
 39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, 
 and said to the sea, Silence! Be still! 
 And the wind ceased, and there was a 
 great calm. 
 
 40 And he said to them, Why are ye so 
 fearful ? how is it that ye have no faith ? 
 
 41 And they feared exceedingly, and said 
 one to another, Who then is this, that even 
 the wind and the sea obey him ? 
 
 CHAPTER V. 
 
 1 Christ delivering the possessed of the legion of de- 
 mons, 13 they enter into the swine. 25 He healeth 
 the woman of the bloody issue, 35 and raisethfrom 
 death Jairus's daughter. 
 
 AND "they came over the sea, into the 
 country of the Gadarenes. 
 
 2 And as he came out of the ship, imme- 
 diately there met him from the tombs a 
 man with an unclean spirit, 
 
 3 Who had his dwelling among the tombs ; 
 and no one could bind nim, not even with 
 chains : 
 
 4 Because he had been often bound with 
 fetters and chains, and the chains had been 
 rent asunder by him, and the fetters broken 
 in pieces: and none could tame him. 
 
 5 And always, night and day, he was in 
 the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, 
 and cutting himself with stones. 
 
 6 But seeing Jesus from afar, he ran and 
 fell down before him, 
 
 7 And cried with a loud voice, saying, 
 What have I to do with thee, Jesus, Son 
 of the Most High God ? I adjure thee by 
 God, not to torment me. 
 
 8 (For he said to him, Come out of the 
 man, thou unclean spirit.) 
 
 9 And he asked him, What is thy name? 
 And he answered, saying, My name is 
 Legion : for we are many. 
 
 10 And he besought him much that he 
 would not send them out of the country. 
 
 11 Now there -was there near the moun- 
 tains a great herd of swine feeding. 
 
 12 And all the demons besought him, 
 saying, Send us into the swine, that we 
 may enter into them. 
 
 13 And immediately Jesus gave them 
 
Christ healeth the issue of blood. 
 
 leave. And the unclean spirits going out, 
 went into the swine : and the herd rushed 
 down the steep into the sea, (they were 
 about two thousand,) and were choked in 
 the sea. 
 
 14 And those who fed the swine fled, and 
 reported it in the city, and in the country. 
 And they went out to see what had hap- 
 pened. 
 
 15 And they come to Jesus, and see the 
 demoniac who had had the legion, sitting, 
 and clothed, and in his right mind: and 
 they were afraid. 
 
 16 And those who saw it related to them 
 what had happened to the demoniac, and 
 concerning the swine. 
 
 17 And 'they began to entreat him to de- 
 part from their borders. 
 
 18 And as he went into the ship, "he who 
 had had the demon prayed him that he 
 might remain with him. 
 
 19 But Jesus did not permit it, but saith 
 to him, Go home to thy friends, and tell 
 them how much the Lord hath done for 
 thee, and hath pitied thee. 
 
 20 And he departed, and began to pub- 
 lish in Decapolis how much Jesus had 
 done for him. And all wondered. 
 
 21 ''And Jesus having repassed in the 
 ship to the other side, a great multitude 
 gathered to him : and he was near the sea. 
 
 22 'And behold, there cometh one of the 
 rulers of the synagogue, named Jairus; 
 and seeing him, he fell at his feet, 
 
 23 And besought him much, saying, My 
 little daughter lieth at the point of death. 
 Come and lay thy hands on her, that she 
 may be healed ; and she will live. 
 
 24 And Jesus went with him; and a great 
 multitude followed him, and thronged Trim. 
 
 25 And a certain woman / who had an 
 issue of blood twelve years, 
 
 26 And had suffered much by many phy- 
 sicians, and had spent all that she had, and 
 was not at all benefited, but rather grew 
 worse, 
 
 27 Hearing of Jesus, came in the crowd 
 behind, and touched his garment : 
 
 28 For she said, If I may but touch his 
 garments, I shall be healed. 
 
 29 And forthwith the fountain of her 
 blood was dried up; and she felt in her 
 body that she was healed of that plague. 
 
 30 And immediately Jesus, knowing in 
 himself that 'power had gone forth from 
 him, turned about in the crowd, and said, 
 Who touched my garments ? 
 
 31 And his disciples said to him, Thou 
 seest the multitude thronging thee, and 
 sayest thou, Who touched me ? 
 
 32 And he looked round to see her who 
 had done this. 
 
 33 But the woman, fearing and trembling, 
 knowing what had happened to her, came 
 and fell down before him, and told him all 
 the truth. 
 
 34 And he said to her, Daughter, *thy 
 faith hath healed thee; go in peace, and be 
 whole of thy plague. 
 
 35 'While he was still speaking, they 
 come from the ruler of the synagogue's 
 house, saying, Thy daughter is dead : why 
 troublest thou the Teacher further ? 
 
 36 As soon as Jesus heard the word that 
 was spoken, he saith to the ruler of the 
 synagogue, Fear not, only believe.

 ing. 34 The miracle of five loaves and two fishes. 
 45 Christ walketh on tlte sea ; 53 and healeth all 
 that touch him. 
 
 AND "he went out thence, and came 
 into his own country; and his disci- 
 ples follow him. 
 
 2 And when the Sabbath came, he began 
 to teach in the synagogue : and many hear- 
 ing him were astonished, saying, 'Whence 
 hath this man these things? and what wis- 
 dom is this which is given to him, that 
 even such mighty works are wrought by 
 his hands ? 
 
 3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of 
 Mary, 'the brother of James, and Joses, 
 and Judah, and Simon ? and are not his 
 sisters here with us? And they d were 
 ||offended at him. 
 
 4 But Jesus said to them, *A prophet is 
 not without honour, except in his own 
 country, and among his own kindred, and 
 in his own house. 
 
 5 'And he could there do no mighty work, 
 except that he laid his hands upon a few 
 sick persons, and healed them. 
 
 6 And *he wondered at their unbelief. 
 *And he went around the villages, teach- 
 ing. 
 
 7 1f 'And he called to him the twelve, and 
 began to send them forth two by two ; and 
 gave them power over unclean spirits ; 
 
 8 And commanded them that they should 
 take nothing for their journey, except a 
 staff only; no sack, no bread, no ||money 
 in their purse : 
 
 9 But *be shod with sandals ; and not put 
 on two coats. 
 
 10 'And he said to them, In whatever 
 place ye enter a house, there remain till 
 ye depart from that place. 
 
 11 m And whoever shall not receive you, 
 nor hear you, as ye go out thence, "shake 
 off the dust under your feet, for a testi- 
 mony against them. Verily, I say to you,

 Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than 
 for that city.

John the Baptist beheaded. 
 
 12 And they went out, and proclaimed 
 that men should repent. 
 
 13 And they cast out many demons, "and 
 anointed with oil many who were sick, 
 and healed them. 
 
 14 *And king Herod heard of him, (for 
 his name had become known,) and he said, 
 John the Baptist is risen from the dead, 
 and therefore these mighty works are 
 wrought by him. 
 
 15 'Others said, It is Elijah. And others 
 said, It is a prophet, or as one of the pro- 
 phets. 
 
 16 'But Herod hearing it, said, It is John, 
 whom I beheaded: he is risen from the 
 dead. 
 
 17 For Herod himself had sent forth and 
 seized upon John, and bound him in pri- 
 son, on account of Herodias, wife of his 
 brother Philip : for he had married her. 
 
 18 For John had said to Herod, 'It is not 
 lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife. 
 
 19 Therefore Herodias had a grudge 
 against him, and would have killed him; 
 but she could not : 
 
 20 For Herod 'feared John, knowing that 
 he was a just and holy man, and Hguarded 
 him: and when he heard him, he did many 
 things, and heard him gladly. 
 
 21 "But a convenient day came, when 
 Herod *on his birth-day made a supper to 
 his lords, chief captains, and the first men 
 of Galilee; 
 
 22 And when the daughter of Herodias 
 came in, and danced, and pleased Herod 
 and his guests, the king said to the damseL 
 Ask of me whatever thou wilt, and I will 
 give it thee. 
 
 23 And he swore to her, ^Whatever thou 
 shalt ask of me, I will give thee, to the 
 half of my kingdom. 
 
 24 And she went out, and said to her 
 mother, What shall I ask? And she said, 
 The head of John the Baptist. 
 
 25 And immediately she came in with 
 haste to the king, and asked, saying, I 
 will that thou give me, forthwith, on a 
 platter, the head of John the Baptist. 
 
 26 'And the king, though exceedingly 
 sorry, yet, from regard to his oath and his 
 guests, would not refuse her. 
 
 27 And immediately the king sent one 
 of his guards, and commanded his head to 
 be brought: and he went and beheaded 
 him in the prison ; 
 
 28 And brought his head on a platter, 
 and gave it to the damsel; and the damsel 
 gave it to her mother. 
 
 29 And his disciples hearing of it, came 
 and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb. 
 
 30 "And the apostles came together to 
 Jesus, and reported to him all things, both 
 what they had done, and what they had 
 taught. 
 
 31 'And he said to them, Come ye by 
 yourselves apart into a desert place, and 
 rest a while: for there were many coming 
 and going, and they had no leisure even to 
 eat. 
 
 32 ''And they departed privately by ship 
 into a desert place. 
 
 33 And the people saw them departing, 
 and many knew him, and ran thither by 
 land from all the cities, and outwent them, 
 and came together to him.

 • Christ feedeth Jive thousand 
 
 multitude, and had compassion on them, 
 because they were as sheep not having a 
 shepherd: and ^he began to teach them 
 much. 
 
 35 f And the day being now far spent, his 
 disciples came to him, and said, This is a 
 desert place, and it is now late : 
 
 36 Dismiss them, that they may go into 
 the surrounding fields and villages, and 
 buy themselves bread ; for they have no- 
 thing to eat. 
 
 37 He answered and said to them, Give 
 ye them to eat. And they say to him, 
 "Shall we go and buy two hundred Upenny- 
 worth of bread, and give them to eat ? 
 
 38 He saith to them, How many loaves 
 have ye? go and see. And when they 
 knew, they say, 'Five, and two fishes. 
 
 39 And he directed them to make all sit 
 down by companies on the green grass. 
 
 40 And they sat down in squares, by 
 hundreds, and by fifties. 
 
 41 And taking the five loaves, and the 
 two fishes, he looked up to heaven, *and 
 gave thanks ; and he broke the loaves, and 
 gave them to his disciples to set before 
 them ; and he divided among them all the 
 two fishes. 
 
 42 And they all ate, and were satisfied. 
 
 43 And they took up twelve baskets full 
 of the fragments, and of the fishes. 
 
 44 And those who ate of the loaves, were 
 about five thousand men. 
 
 45 'And immediately he constrained his 
 disciples to enter the ship, and to cross 
 oyer before him ||to Bethsaida, while he 
 dismissed the multitude. 
 
 46 And having sent them away, he de- 
 parted into the mountain to pray. 
 
 47 "And evening coming, the ship was in 
 the midst of the sea, and he alone on the 
 land. 
 
 48 And he saw them harassed with row- 
 ing ; for the wind was against them : and 
 about the fourth watch of the night he 
 cometh to them, walking on the sea, and 
 "would have passed by them. 
 
 49 But they, seeing him walking on the 
 sea, thought it was a spirit, and cried out. 
 
 50 (For they all saw him, and were ter- 
 rified.) And immediately he spoke with 
 them, and saith to them, Take courage: 
 it is I ; fear not. 
 
 51 And he went up to them into the ship; 
 and the wind ceased : and they were be- 
 yond measure amazed in themselves, and 
 wondered. 
 
 52 For "they did not understand by 
 means of the miracle of the loaves; for 
 their ''heart was stupid. 
 
 53 'And passing over, they came into the 
 land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore. 
 
 54 And as they came out of the ship, im- 
 mediately they knew him, 
 
 55 And running round through that whole 
 region, began to carry about on couches 
 those who were sick, where they heard he 
 was. 
 
 56 And wherever he entered into villages, 
 or cities, or country, they laid the sick in 
 the streets, and- begged that they might 
 but touch the fringe of his garment : and 
 as many as touched ||him, were healed. 
 
 CHAPTER VII. 
 
 1 The Pharisees find fault with the disciples for eat- 
 ing with unu'ashen hands. 8 They break the com- 
 
Tfie Pharisees reproved. 
 
 mandment of God by the traditions of men. 14 Meat 
 defileth not the man. 24 He healeth the Syropheni- 
 cian woman's daughter of an unclean spirit, 31 and 
 one that was deaf, and stammered in his speech. 
 
 NOW "the Pharisees and some of the 
 scribes, coming from Jerusalem, ga- 
 ther around him. 
 
 2 And seeing some of his disciples eat 
 bread with Udefiled (that is, with unwash- 
 en) hands, they found fault. 
 
 3 (For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, 
 eat not unless they wash their hands ||care- 
 fully, holding the tradition of the elders. 
 
 4 And when they come from the market, 
 they eat not till they have bathed them- 
 selves. And there are many other things 
 which they have received to observe, as 
 the immersing of cups, and Upots, and 
 brazen vessels, and ||couches.) 
 
 5 'Then the Pharisees and scribes asked 
 him, Why do not thy disciples walk ac- 
 cording to the tradition of the elders, but 
 eat bread with unwashen hands ? 
 
 6 He answered and said to them, Well 
 did Isaiah prophesy concerning you hypo- 
 crites, as it is written, 'This people honour 
 me with their lips, but their heart is far 
 from me. 
 
 7Butinvaindotheyworshipme,teachingas 
 their doctrines the commandments of men. 
 
 8 For, neglecting the commandment of 
 God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the 
 immersing of pots and cups: and many 
 other such things ye do. 
 
 9 And he said to them, Nobly do ye ||set 
 aside the commandment of God, that ye 
 may keep your own tradition. 
 
 10 For Moses said, ''Honour thy father 
 and thy mother; and, e He that curseth 
 father or mother, let him die : 
 
 11 But ye say, If a man shall say to his 
 father or mother, It is 'Corban, (that is, a 
 
 fift,) whatever of mine might benefit thee; 
 e shall be free. 
 
 12 And ye no longer suffer him to do 
 any thing for his father or his mother ; 
 
 13 Making void the word of God by your 
 tradition, which ye have delivered: and 
 many such things ye do. 
 
 14 f *And calling to himself all the mul- 
 titude, he said to them, Hear me, all of 
 you, and understand. 
 
 15 There is nothing from without a man, 
 which going into him, can defile him : but 
 the things which come out of him, those 
 are what defile the man. 
 
 16 "If any one hath ears to hear, let him 
 hear. 
 
 17 'And when he entered into the house 
 from the multitude, his disciples asked him 
 concerning the parable. 
 
 18 And he saith to them, Are ye also 
 thus without understanding? Do ye not 
 consider, that nothing which from without 
 entereth into the man, can defile him: 
 
 19 Because it entereth not into his heart, 
 but into the belly, and goeth out into the 
 sink, cleansing all his food ? 
 
 20 And he said, That which cometh from 
 the man, that defileth the man. 
 
 21 *For from within, from the heart of 
 men, proceed their evil thoughts ; adulte- 
 ries, fornications, murders, 
 
 22 Thefts, tcovetousness, malice, deceit, 
 lasciviousness, ||an evil eye, railing, pride, 
 foolishness;

 23 All these evil things come from with- 
 in, and defile the man. 
 
 24 1f 'And from thence he arose, and went 
 into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and 
 entering a house, he wished no one to 
 know it : but he could not be hidden. 
 
 25 For a woman, whose young daughter 
 had an unclean spirit, having heard ofnim, 
 came and fell at nis feet : 
 
 26 (The woman was a ||Greek, a Syro- 
 
 Ehenician by nation,) and she besought 
 im that he would cast out the demon 
 from her daughter. 
 
 27 But Jesus said to her, Let the child- 
 ren first be satisfied : for it is not good to 
 take the children's bread, and cast it to 
 the dogs. 
 
 28 And she answered and said to him, 
 Yea, Lord : yet the dogs under the table 
 eat of the children's crumbs. 
 
 29 And he said to her, For this saying, 
 depart ; the demon is gone out of thy 
 daughter. 
 
 30 And coming to her house, she found 
 the demon gone out, and her daughter 
 lying on the bed. 
 
 31 f m And again, departing from the bor- 
 ders of Tyre and Sidon, he came to the 
 sea of Galilee, through the region of De- 
 capolis. 
 
 32 And "they bring to him one who was 
 deaf, and spoke with difficulty; and they 
 beseech him to put his hand upon him. 
 
 33 And taking him aside from the multi- 
 tude, he put his fingers into his ears, and 
 "he spit, and touched his tongue: 
 
 34 And 'looking up to heaven, 'he groan- 
 ed, and saith to him, Ephphatha, that is, 
 Be opened. 
 
 35 r And immediately his ears were open- 
 ed, and the band of his tongue was loosed, 
 and he spoke plainly. 
 
 36 And 'he charged them to tell no one : 
 but the more he charged them, the more 
 they published it ; 
 
 37 And were beyond measure astonished, 
 saying, He hath done all things well ; he 
 maketh the deaf to hear, and the dumb to 
 speak. 
 
 CHAPTER VIII. 
 
 1 Christ feedeth the people miraculously : 10 refuseth 
 to give a sign to the Pharisees : 14 admonisheth 
 his disciples to beware of the leaven of the Phari- 
 sees, and of the leaven of Herod .- 22 giveth a blind 
 man his sight : 27 acknowledged that he is the 
 Christ, who should suffer and rise again : 34 and 
 exhorteth to patience in persecution for the profes- 
 sion of the gospel. 
 
 IN those days "the multitude being very 
 great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus, 
 calling to him his disciples, saith to them, 
 
 2 I have compassion on the multitude, 
 because they have now been with me three 
 days, and have nothing to eat : 
 
 3 And if I dismiss them to their homes 
 fasting, they will faint on»the way: for 
 some of them are come from a distance. 
 
 4 And his disciples answered him, 
 Whence can one satisfy these men with 
 bread here in the desert ? 
 
 5 *And he asked them. How many loaves 
 have ye ? And they said, Seven. 
 
 6 And he commanded the people to sit 
 down on the ground : and taking the seven 
 loaves, he gave thanks, and broke them, 
 and gave to his disciples to set before them; 
 and they set them before the people. 
 
 31 
 
Christ refuseth the Pharisees a sign. 
 
 7 And they had a few little fishes : and 
 c he blessed, and bade that these also be set 
 before them. 
 
 8 And they ate, and were satisfied : and 
 they took up what remained of the frag- 
 ments, seven baskets. 
 
 9 And those who ate were about four 
 thousand : and he dismissed them. 
 
 10 f And ''immediately entering the ship 
 with his disciples, he came into the region 
 of Dalmanutha. 
 
 11 "And the Pharisees came forth, and 
 began to question with him, seeking of 
 him a sign from heaven, trying him. 
 
 12 And groaning deeply in his spirit, he 
 saith, Why doth this generation seek for a 
 sign? Verily, I say to you, There shall 
 no sign be given to this generation. 
 
 13 And he left them, and entering the 
 ship again, departed to the other side. 
 
 14 U ''Now the disciples had forgotten to 
 bring bread, nor had they in the ship with 
 them more than one loaf. 
 
 15 ? And he charged them, saying, Take 
 heed, beware of the leaven of the Phari- 
 sees, and of the leaven of Herod. 
 
 16 And they reasoned among themselves, 
 saying, It is "because we have no bread. 
 
 17 And Jesus knowing it, saith to them, 
 Why reason ye, because ye have no bread ? 
 'do ye not yet consider, nor understand ? 
 have ye your heart yet stupid ? 
 
 18 Having eyes, see ye not ? and having 
 ears, hear ye not ? and do ye not remember ? 
 
 19 *When I broke the five loaves among 
 the five thousand, how many baskets full 
 of fragments took ye up? They say to 
 him, Twelve. 
 
 20 And 'when the seven among the four 
 thousand, how many baskets full of frag- 
 ments took ye up? And they said, Seven. 
 
 21 And he said to them, How is it that 
 m ye do not understand ? 
 
 22 If And he cometh to Bethsaida ; and 
 they bring to him a blind man, and be- 
 sought him to touch him. 
 
 23 And he took the blind man by the 
 hand, and led him out of the village ; and 
 "having spit on his eyes, he put his hands 
 upon him, and asked him if he saw any 
 thing. 
 
 24 And he looked up, and said, I see 
 men, as trees, walking. 
 
 25 Then he put his hands again upon his 
 eyes, and made him look up : and ne was 
 restored, and saw every man clearly. 
 
 26 And he sent him away to his house, 
 saying, Neither go into the village, "nor 
 tell it to any in the village. 
 
 27 f p And Jesus went out, and his disci- 
 ples, into the villages of Cesarea Philippi : 
 and on the way he asked his disciples, say- 
 ing to them, Who do men say that I am ? 
 
 28 And they answered, 'John the Baptist : 
 and others, Elijah; and others, One of the 
 prophets. 
 
 29 And he saith to them, But who say ye 
 that I am ? And Peter answering, saith to 
 him, "Thou art the Christ. 
 
 30 'And he charged them that they should 
 tell no one concerning him. 
 
 31 And 'he began to teach them, that the 
 Son of man must suffer much, and be re- 
 jected by the elders, and chief priests, and 
 scribes, and be slain, and after three days 
 arise.

 33 But he, turning and looking on his 
 disciples, rebuked Peter, saying, Get be- 
 hind me, Satan: for thou favourest not the 
 things of God, but those of men. 
 
 34 If And calling to him the multitude, 
 with his disciples, he said to them, "Who- 
 ever will come after me, let him deny 
 himself, and take up his cross, and follow 
 me. 
 
 35 For 'whoever will save his life, shall 
 lose it; but whoever shall lose his life, for 
 my sake and the gospel's, he shall save it. 
 
 36 For what shall it profit a man, if he 
 gain the whole world, and lose his life ? 
 
 37 Or what ransom can a man give for 
 his life ? 
 
 38 *For whoever 'shall be ashamed of me, 
 and of my words, in this adulterous and 
 sinful generation ; of him also will the Son 
 of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the 
 glory of his Father with the holy angels. 
 
 CHAPTER IX. 
 
 2 Jesus is transfigured. 11 He instructeth his dis- 
 ciples concerning the coming of Elijah : 14 cast- 
 eth forth a dumb and deaf spirit : 30 foretelleth 
 his death and resurrection: 33 exhorteth his dis- 
 ciples to humility : 3S bidding them not to prohibit 
 such as be not against them, nor to give offence to 
 any of the faithful. 
 
 AND he said to them, "Verily, I say to 
 you, That there are some of those 
 standing here who shall not taste of death, 
 till they have seen 'the kingdom of God 
 come with power. 
 
 2 If 'And after six days, Jesus taketh with 
 him Peter, and James, and John, and lead- 
 eth them up into a high mountain apart 
 by themselves; and he was transfigured 
 before them ; 
 
 3 And his garments became shining, very 
 ''white, like snow; such as no fuller on 
 earth can whiten. 
 
 4 And there appeared to them Elijah, 
 with Moses : and they were talking with 
 Jesus. 
 
 5 And Peter answering, saith to Jesus, 
 Master, it is good for us to be here : and 
 let us make three tabernacles ; one for thee, 
 and one for Moses, and one for Elijah. 
 
 6 For he knew not what to say : for they 
 were terrified. 
 
 7 And there came a cloud overshadowing 
 them : and a voice came from the cloud, 
 saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him. 
 
 8 And suddenly, on looking round, they 
 no longer saw any one but Jesus alone 
 with themselves. 
 
 9 "And as they came down from the moun- 
 tain, he charged them to relate to no one 
 what they had seen, till the Son of man 
 had risen from the dead. 
 
 10 And they Umarked the words, ques- 
 tioning one with another what this rising 
 from the dead was. 
 
 11 If And they asked him, saying, Why 
 say the scribes 'that Elijah must first come ? 
 
 12 And he answered and told them, Eli- 
 jah indeed cometh first, and restoreth all 
 things ; and *how it is written of the Son 
 of man, that heTmust suffer much, and *be 
 set at nought. 
 
 13 But f say to you, That 'Elijah hath 
 come, and they have done to him whatever 
 they pleased, as it is written of him. 
 
Christ casteth out a dumb spirit. 
 
 14 If 'And when he came to his disciples, 
 he saw a great multitude about them, and 
 the scribes questioning with them. 
 
 15 And immediately all the people, when 
 they beheld him, were filled with awe, and 
 running to him, saluted him. 
 
 16 And he asked the scribes, What ques- 
 tion ye ||with them? 
 
 17 And 'one of the multitude answered 
 and said, Teacher, I brought to thee my 
 son, who hath a dumb spirit : 
 
 18 And wherever it talceth him, it dash- 
 eth him to the ground; and he foameth and 
 gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away; 
 and I spoke to thy disciples that they 
 should cast it out, and they could not. 
 
 19 He answering, saith, O faithless gene- 
 ration ! how long shall I be with you? how 
 long shall I bear with you ? Bring him to 
 me. 
 
 20 And they brought him to him : and 
 "when he saw him, immediately the spirit 
 rent him; and he fell on the ground, and 
 rolled, foaming. 
 
 21 And he asked his father, How long is 
 it that this hath happened to him ? And he 
 said, From childhood. 
 
 22 And often it hath cast him into the 
 fire, and into the waters, to destroy him : 
 but if thou canst do any thing, have com- 
 passion on us, and help us. 
 
 23 Jesus said to him, "If thou canst be- 
 lieve, all things are possible to him that 
 believeth. 
 
 24 And immediately the father of the 
 child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, 
 I believe; help my unbelief! 
 
 25 And Jesus, seeing that the multitude 
 came running together, rebuked the un- 
 clean spirit, saying to him, Thou dumb 
 and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out 
 of him, and enter no more into him. 
 
 26 And the spirit crying and rending 
 him violently, came out of him : and he 
 became as dead ; so that many said, He is 
 dead. 
 
 27 But Jesus took him by the hand, and 
 lifted him up ; and he arose. 
 
 28 "And when he came into the house, 
 liis disciples asked him privately, "Why 
 could not w r e cast him out ? 
 
 29 And he said to them, This race can 
 come forth by nothing, but by prayer and 
 fasting. 
 
 SO If And they departed thence, and 
 passed through Galilee ; and he wished 
 that no one should know it. 
 
 31 ?For he taught his disciples, and said 
 to them, The Son of man is delivered into 
 the hands of men, and they will slay him ; 
 and being slain, he will arise on the third 
 day. 
 
 32 But they understood not what he said, 
 and w r ere afraid to ask him. 
 
 33 If 'And he came to Capernaum : and 
 being in the house, he asked them, About 
 what were ye disputing among yourselves 
 by the way? 
 
 34 But they were silent: for by the way 
 they had disputed among themselves, who 
 should be the greatest. 
 
 35 And he sat down, and called the 
 twelve, and saith to them, r If any one de- 
 si reth to be first, he shall be last of all, 
 and servant of all.

 arms, he said to them, 
 
 37 Whoever shall receive one of such 
 children in my name, receiveth me: and 
 'whoever shall receive me, receiveth not 
 me, but him who sent me. 
 
 38 If "And John answered him, saying, 
 Teacher, we saw one casting out demons 
 in thy name, who followeth not us; and we 
 forbade him, because he followeth not us. 
 
 39 But Jesus said, Forbid him not : 'for 
 there is no one who shall do a miracle in 
 my name, that can lightly speak evil of me. 
 
 40 For y he who is not against us, is for us. 
 
 41 "For whoever shall give you a cup of 
 water to drink in my name, because ye 
 belong to Christ, verily I say to you, he 
 shall not lose his reward. 
 
 42 "And whoever shall be an occasion of 
 sin to one of these little ones that believe 
 in me, it were better for him that a mill- 
 stone were hanged about his neck, and he 
 were cast into the sea. 
 
 43 'And if thy hand cause thee to sin, cut 
 it ofl': it is better for thee to enter into life 
 maimed, than having two hands to go into 
 hell, into the unquenchable fire, 
 
 44 "Where their worm dieth not, and the 
 fire is not quenched. 
 
 45 And if thy foot cause thee to sin, cut 
 it off: it is better for thee to enter into life 
 lame, than having two feet to be cast into 
 hell, into the unquenchable fire, 
 
 46 Where their worm dieth not, and the 
 fire is not quenched. 
 
 47 And if thine eye cause thee to sin, 
 pluck it out : it is better for thee to enter 
 into the kingdom of God with one eye, 
 than having two eyes, to be cast into hell - 
 fire, 
 
 48 Where their worm dieth not, and the

 CHAPTER X. 
 
 2 Christ disputeth with the Pharisees touching divorce- 
 ment : 13 blesseth the children that are brought to 
 him : 17 informeth a rich man how he may inherit 
 life everlasting : 23 telleth his disciples of the dan- 
 ger of riches : 2S promiseth rewards to them that 
 forsake any thing for the gospel : 32 foretelleth hit 
 death and resurrection: 35 biddeth the two ambi- 
 tious suitors to think rather of suffering with him: 
 46 and restoreth to Bartimeus his sight. 
 
 AND "arising thence, he cometh into the 
 borders of Judea, by the farther side 
 of the Jordan: and again multitudes resort 
 to him; and, as he was wont, he taught 
 them again. 
 
 2 If 'And the Pharisees came to him, and 
 asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put 
 away his wife? trying him. 
 
 3 And he answered and said to them, 
 What did Moses command you ? 
 
 4 And they said, c Moses permitted to 
 write a bill of divorcement, and to put her 
 away. 
 
 5 And Jesus answered and said to them, 
 On account of your stubbornness of heart, 
 he wrote you this precept : 
 
 6 But from the beginning of the creation, 
 d God made them male and female. 
 
The danger of riches. 
 
 7 'Therefore shall a man leave his father 
 and mother, and cleave to his wife; 
 
 8 And the two shall be one flesh. So 
 that they are no longer two, but one flesh. 
 
 9 What, therefore, God hath joined, let 
 not man separate. 
 
 10 And in the house his disciples again 
 asked him concerning the same thing. 
 
 11 And he saith to them, 'Whoever shall 
 put away his wife, and marry another, 
 committeth adultery against her. 
 
 12 And if a woman shall put away her 
 husband, and be married to another, she 
 committeth adultery. 
 
 13 \ ? And they brought young children to 
 him, that he might touch them; and his 
 disciples rebuked those who brought them. 
 
 14 But Jesus seeing it, was displeased, 
 and said to them, Suffer the little children 
 to come to me, and forbid them not: for 
 *of such is the kingdom of God. 
 
 15 Verily I say to you, "Whoever shall 
 not receive the kingdom of God as a little 
 child, shall not enter into it. 
 
 16 And he took them in his arms, put his 
 hands upon them, and blessed them. 
 
 17 If *And as he went forth into the way, 
 one ran up, and kneeling to him, asked 
 him, Good Teacher, what shall I do that I 
 may inherit eternal life ? 
 
 18 And Jesus said to him, Why callest 
 thou me good ? there is none good, but 
 one, that is God. 
 
 19 Thou knowest the commandments, 
 'Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do 
 not steal, Do not bear false witness, De- 
 fraud not, Honour thy father and mother. 
 
 20 And he answered and said to him, 
 Teacher, all these I have observed from 
 my youth. 
 
 21 And Jesus looking upon him, loved 
 him, and said to him, One thing thou lack- 
 est : go, sell whatever thou hast, and give 
 to the poor, and thou shalt have "treasure 
 in heaven ; and come, take up the cross, 
 and follow me. 
 
 22 And he was sad at his words, and 
 went away grieved : for he had great pos- 
 sessions. 
 
 23 1[ "And Jesus looking round, saith to 
 his disciples, How hardly will those who 
 have riches enter into the kingdom of 
 God! 
 
 24 And the disciples were astonished at 
 his words. But Jesus again answering, 
 saith to them, Children, how hard is it for 
 those "who trust in riches to enter into the 
 kingdom of God ! 
 
 25 It is easier for a camel to go through 
 the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to 
 enter into the kingdom of God. 
 
 26 And they were astonished above mea- 
 sure, saying among themselves, Who then 
 can be saved ? 
 
 27 And Jesus looking upon them, saith, 
 With men it is impossible, but not with 
 God : for ''with God all is possible. 
 
 28 f 'Peter began to say to him, Lo, we 
 have left all, and have followed thee. 
 
 29 And Jesus answering, said, Verily, I 
 say to you, There is no one who hath left 
 house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or 
 mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for 
 my sake, and the gospel's, 
 
 30 'But shall receive an hundred -fold 
 now in this time, houses, and brethren,!

 The suit of the sons of Zebedee. 
 
 and sisters, and mothers, and children, 
 and lands, with persecutions ; and in the 
 world to come, eternal life. 
 
 31 "But many first will be last, and last 
 first. 
 
 32 IT 'And they were on the way, going 
 up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before 
 them : and they were amazed ; and as they 
 followed, they were afraid. "And again 
 he took the twelve, and began to tell them 
 the things which were to happen to him, 
 
 33 Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusa- 
 lem ; and the Son of man will be delivered 
 to the chief priests, and to the scribes ; and 
 they will condemn him to death, and will 
 deliver him to the Gentiles ; 
 
 34 And they will scoff" at him, and scourge 
 him, and spit upon him, and slay him: and 
 on the third day he will arise. 
 
 35 ^ "And James and John, the sons of 
 Zebedee, come to him, saying, Teacher, 
 we wish that whatever we ask, thou 
 shouldest do for us. 
 
 36 And he said to them, What do ye 
 wish that I should do for you ? 
 
 37 They said to him, Grant to us that we 
 may sit, one on thy right hand, and the 
 other on thy left, in thy glory. 
 
 38 But Jesus said to them, Ye know not 
 what ye ask : can ye drink the cup which 
 I drink? and suffer the immersion with 
 which I am immersed ? 
 
 39 And they said to him, We can. And 
 Jesus said to them, Ye will indeed drink 
 the cup which I drink ; and be immersed 
 with my immersion : 
 
 40 But to sit on my right hand and on my 
 left, is not mine to give, except to those for 
 whom it is prepared. 
 
 41 "And when the ten heard it, they began 
 to be displeased with James and John. 
 
 42 But Jesus called them to him, and 
 saith to them, *Ye know that those who 
 are considered rulers among the nations, 
 exercise lordship over them ; and their 
 great ones exercise authority over them. 
 
 43 "But it will not be so among you : but 
 whoever may wish to become great among 
 you, shall be your minister : 
 
 44 And whoever of you may wish to be- 
 come first, shall be servant of all. 
 
 45 For even 'the Son of man came not to 
 be ministered to, but to minister, and "to 
 give his life a ransom for many. 
 
 46 If d And they came to Jericho : and as 
 he went out of Jericho with his disciples, 
 and a great multitude, blind Bartimeus, 
 the son of Timeus, sat by the way-side 
 begging. 
 
 47 And hearing that it was Jesus of Na- 
 zareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, 
 Son of David, pity me ! 
 
 48 And many charged him to be silent : 
 but he cried much more, Son of David, 
 pity me ! 
 
 49 And Jesus stopped, and bade him be 
 called: and they call the blind man, say- 
 ing to him, Take courage, rise ; he calleth 
 thee. 
 
 50 And he threw away his garment, rose, 
 and came to Jesus. 
 
 51 And Jesus' answering, saith to him, 
 What wilt thou that I do to thee ? The 
 blind man said to him, Lord, that I may 
 receive my sight. 
 
 52 And Jesus said to him, Go, 'thy faith

 Christ silenceth the priests.

 received his sight, and followed Jesus in 
 the way. 
 
 CHAPTER XI. 
 
 1 Christ rideth with triumph into Jerusalem : 12 ours- 
 eth the fruitless leafy tree : 15 purgeth the temple : 
 20 exhorteth his disciples to steadfastness of faith, 
 and to forgive their enemies : 27 and defendeth the 
 lawfulness of his actions, by the testimony of John, 
 who was a man sent of God. 
 
 A ND "when they come near to Jerusa- 
 -£*■ lem, to Bethphage, and Bethany, at 
 the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two 
 of his disciples, 
 
 2 And saith to them, Go into the village 
 over against you : and immediately on en- 
 tering it, ye will find a colt tied, on which 
 man never sat ; loose and bring him. 
 
 3 And if any one say to you, Why do ye 
 this ? say, The Lord hath need of him ; 
 and immediately he will send him hither. 
 
 4 And they went, and found the colt tied 
 by the door without, in the street; and they 
 loose him. 
 
 5 And some of them standing there said 
 to them, What do ye, loosing the colt ? 
 
 6 And they said to them as Jesus had 
 bidden : and they let them go. 
 
 7 And they brought the colt to Jesus, and 
 threw their garments on him ; and he sat 
 upon him. 
 
 8 *And many spread their garments in 
 the way: and others cut branches from 
 the trees, and strewed them in the way. 
 
 9 And those who preceded, and those 
 who followed, cried, saying, c Hosanna! 
 Blessed is he that cometh in the name of 
 the Lord ! 
 
 10 Blessed be the kingdom of our father 
 David, that cometh in the name of the 
 Lord ! d Hosanna in the highest ! 
 
 11 'And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, 
 and into the temple: and having looked 
 round upon all things, the evening being 
 now come, he went out to Bethany, with 
 the twelve. 
 
 12 ^f 'And on the morrow, as they came 
 from Bethany, he was hungry. 
 
 13 *And seeing a fig-tree at a distance, 
 having leaves, he came, if perhaps he 
 might find any thing on it : and on coming 
 to it, he found nothing but leaves : for it 
 was not the season of figs. 
 
 14 And Jesus answering, said to it, Hence- 
 forth let none eat fruit of thee for ever ! 
 And his disciples heard it. 
 
 15 *f *And they come to Jerusalem : and 
 Jesus went into the temple, and began to 
 cast out those who sold and bought in the 
 temple, and overturned the tables of the 
 money-changers, and the seats of those 
 who sold doves ; 
 
 16 And suffered not that any one should 
 carry a vessel through the temple. 
 
 XT And he taught, saying to them, Is it 
 not written, 'My house shall be called a 
 house of prayer for all nations ? but *ye 
 have made it a den of robbers. 
 
 18 And 'the scribes and chief priests 
 heard it, and sought how they might de- 
 stroy him: for they feared him, because 
 m all the multitude was astonished at his 
 teaching.

 of the city.

 cursedst is withered !

 Have faith in God. 
 
 23 For "verily I say to you, That whoever 
 shall say to this mountain, Be raised and 
 cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in 
 his heart, but shall believe that what he

 the scribes, and the elders, 
 
 28 And say to him, By what authority 
 doest thou these things? and who gave 
 .thee this authority to do these things ? 
 
 29 And Jesus answering, said to them, 
 I will also ask of you one Hquestion, and 
 answer me, and I will tell you by what 
 authority I do these things. 
 
 30 John's immersion, was it from heaven, 
 or from men ? answer me. 
 
 31 And they reasoned with themselves, 
 saying, If we say, From heaven ; he will 
 say, Why then did ye not believe him ? 
 
 32 But if we say, From men ; they feared 
 the people : for 'all held John to be truly 
 a prophet. 
 
 33 And they answered and said to Jesus, 
 We cannot tell. And Jesus answering, 
 saith to them, Neither do I tell you by 
 what authority I do these things. 
 
 CHAPTER XII. 
 
 1 In a parable of the vineyard let out to unthankful 
 husbandmen, Christ foretelleth the reprobation of 
 the Jews, and the calling of the Gentiles. 1 3 He 
 avoideth the snare of the Pharisees and Herodians 
 about paying tribute to Cesar : 18 convinceth the 
 error of the Sadducees, who denied the resurrec- 
 tion : 28 resolveth the scribe, who questioned of 
 the first commandment ; 35 refuteth the opinion 
 that the scribes held of Christ: 38 bidding the 
 people to beware of their ambition and hypocrisy .- 
 41 and commendeth the poor widow for her two 
 mites, above all. 
 
 AND "he began to say to them in para- 
 bles ; A man planted a vineyard, and 
 set an hedge about it, and dug a place for 
 the wine-vat, and built a tower, and let it 
 out to husbandmen, and went abroad. 
 
 2 And at the season he sent to the hus- 
 bandmen a servant, that he might receive 
 from the husbandmen of the fruit of the 
 vineyard. 
 
 3 And they took him, beat him, and 
 sent him away empty. 
 
 4 And again he sent to them another ser- 
 vant: and they threw stones, and wounded 
 him in the head, and sent him away shame- 
 fully treated. 
 
 5 And again he sent another; and him 
 they killed, and many others; beating 
 some, and killing other9. 
 
 35 
 
Hie Sadducees confuted. 
 
 6 Having still therefore his one beloved 
 son, he sent him also to them last, saying, 
 They will reverence my son. 
 
 7 But those husbandmen said among 
 themselves, This is the heir; come, let us 
 kill him, and the inheritance will be ours. 
 
 8 And they took and killed him, and 
 cast him out of the vineyard. 
 
 9 What then will the lord of the vineyard 
 do ? He will come and destroy the hus- 
 bandmen, and give the vineyard to others. 
 
 10 And have ye not read this scripture ; 
 J The stone which the builders rejected is 
 become the head of the corner : 
 
 11 This was the Lord's doing, and it is 
 wonderful in our eyes? 
 
 12 "And they sought to seize him, but 
 feared the multitude ; for they knew that 
 he had spoken the parable against them: 
 and they left him, and departed. 
 
 13 \ d And they send to him certain of the 
 Pharisees, and of the Herodians, to en- 
 s«are him in his words. 
 
 14 And they come and say to him, 
 Teacher, we know that thou art true, and 
 carest for no one : for thou regardest not 
 the person of men, but teachest the way 
 of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tri- 
 bute to Cesar, or not ? 
 
 15 Shall we give, or shall we not give? 
 But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said to 
 them, Why do ye tempt me ? bring me a 
 llpenny, that I may see it. 
 
 16 And they brought it. And he saith to 
 them, Whose is this image and inscription ? 
 And they said to him, Cesar's. 
 
 17 And Jesus answering, said to them, 
 Render to Cesar that which is Cesar's, 
 and to God that which is God's. And 
 they wondered at him. 
 
 18 If "Then come to him the Sadducees, 
 / vvho say there is no resurrection; and 
 they asked him, saying, 
 
 19 Teacher, s Moses directed us, If a 
 man's brother die, and leave a wife, and 
 leave no children, that his brother should 
 take his wife, and raise up offspring to his 
 brother. 
 
 20 Now, there were seven brethren : and 
 the first took a wife, and dying left no off- 
 spring. 
 
 21 And the second took her, and died, 
 nor left he any offspring : and the third 
 likewise. 
 
 22 And the seven had her, and left no 
 offspring : last of all the woman died also 
 
 23 At the resurrection therefore, when 
 they shall rise, whose wife will she be of 
 them ? for the seven had her as a wife. 
 
 24 And Jesus answering, said to them, 
 Do ye not therefore err, because ye know 
 not the scriptures, nor the power of God ? 
 
 25 For when they shall rise from the 
 dead, they neither marry, nor are given in 
 marriage; but ''are as the angels in hea- 
 ven. 
 
 26 And respecting the dead, that they 
 rise ; have ye not read in the book of 
 Moses, how in the bush God spoke to 
 him, saying, *I am the God of Abraham, 
 and the God of Isaac, and the God of 
 Jacob ? 
 
 27 He is not the God of the dead, but 
 the God of the living: ye therefore greatly 
 err.

 Tlie poor widow's two mites. 
 
 having heard them reasoning together, 
 and perceiving that he had answered them 
 well, asked him, Which is the first com- 
 mandment of all ? 
 
 29 And Jesus answered him, The first 
 of all the commandments is, 'Hear, O Is- 
 rael ; The Lord our God is one Lord : 
 
 30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God 
 with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, 
 and with all thy mind, and with all thy 
 strength : this is the first commandment. 
 
 31 And the second is like it, namely this, 
 'Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: 
 
 there is no other commandment greater 
 than these. 
 
 32 And the scribe said to him, Well, 
 Teacher, thou hast said with truth that 
 there is one God ; "and there is no other 
 but he : 
 
 33 And to love him with all the heart, 
 and with all the understanding, and with 
 all the soul, and with all the strength, and 
 to love one's neighbour as one's self, "is 
 more than all burnt-offerings and sacri- 
 fices. 
 
 34 And Jesus seeing that he answered 
 understanding^, said to him, Thou art not 
 far from the kingdom of God. 'And no 
 one ventured to question him further. 
 
 35 If 'And Jesus answered and said, while 
 teaching in the temple, How say the scribes 
 that the Christ is the son of David ? 
 
 36 For David himself said r by the Holy 
 Spirit, 'The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on 
 my right hand, till I make thine enemies 
 thy footstool. 
 
 37 David himself therefore calleth him 
 Lord, and whence is he his son? And 
 the common people heard him gladly. 
 
 38 If And 'he said to them in his teaching, 
 "Beware of the scribes, who love to walk 
 in robes, and *love salutations in the 
 markets, 
 
 39 And the first seats in the synagogues, 
 and the first places at feasts : 
 
 40 "Who devour widows' houses, and for 
 a pretence make long prayers : these shall 
 receive greater condemnation. 
 
 41 If 'And Jesus, sitting opposite the trea- 
 sury, beheld how the people cast ||money 
 "into the treasury: and many rich men cast 
 in much. 
 
 42 And there came a certain poor widow, 
 and she threw in two ||mites, which make 
 a farthing. 
 
 43 And calling to him his disciples, he 
 saith to them, Verily, I say to you, That 
 6 this poor widow hath cast in more than 
 all who have cast into the treasury. 
 
 44 For they all cast in of their abundance: 
 but she of her deficiency cast in all that 
 she had, e her whole living. 
 
 CHAPTER XIII. 
 
 1 Christ foretelleth the destruction of the temple : 
 9 the persecutions for the gospel : 10 that the gos- 
 pel must be preached to all nations : 14 that great 
 calamities shall happen to the Jews : 24 and the 
 manner of his coming to judgment : 32 the hour 
 whereof being known to none, every man is to 
 watch and pray, that we be not found unprovided, 
 when he comet h to each one particularly by death. 
 
 AND "as he vTent out of the temple, one 
 of his disciples saith to him, Teacher, 
 see what stones, and what buildings ! 
 2 And Jesus answering, said to him, 
 Seest thou these great buildings? there 
 
The signs of 
 
 will not be left one stone on another, 
 that is not thrown down. 
 
 3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, 
 over against the temple, Peter, and James, 
 and John, and Andrew, asked him pri- 
 vately, 
 
 4 'Tell us, when will this be? and what 
 is the sign when all this is about to be 
 accomplished ? 
 
 5 And Jesus answering them, began to say, 
 d Take heed lest any one lead you astray: 
 
 6 For many will come in my name, say- 
 ing, I am he ; and will lead astray many. 
 
 7 And when ye hear of wars, and rumours 
 of wars, be not troubled: for this must 
 happen ; but the end is not yet. 
 
 8 For nation will rise against nation, and 
 kingdom against kingdom : and there will 
 be earthquakes in various places, and there 
 will be famines, and commotions: 'these 
 are the beginnings of ||sorrows. 
 
 9 If But 'take heed to yourselves: for 
 they will deliver you up to councils ; and 
 ye will be beaten in the synagogues : and 
 ye will be brought before rulers and kings 
 For my sake, for a testimony to them. 
 
 10 And *the good tidings must first be 
 published among all nations. 
 
 11 A And when they bring you, and deliver 
 you up, be not anxious beforehand what ye 
 shall speak, nor premeditate : but whatever 
 is given you in that hour, that speak : for it 
 is not ye that speak, 'but the Holy Spirit. 
 
 12 And 'the brother will deliver up the 
 brother to death ? and the father the child: 
 and children will arise against their pa- 
 rents, and bring them to death. 
 
 13 'And ye will be hated by all on ac- 
 count of my name : but m he who endureth 
 to the end, he shall be saved. 
 
 14 U "But when ye see the abomination 
 of desolation, "spoken of by Daniel the 
 
 Erophet, standing where it ought not, (let 
 im that readeth understand !) then r let 
 those in Judea flee to the mountains : 
 
 15 And let him who is on the house-top 
 not go down into the house, nor go in to 
 take any thins from his house : 
 
 16 And let Trim who is in the field not 
 turn back to take his garment. 
 
 17 'But wo to those with child, and to 
 those who give suck in those days ! 
 
 18 And pray that your flight be not in 
 the winter. 
 
 19 'For in those days will be affliction, 
 such as hath not been from the beginning 
 of the creation which God created until 
 now, nor shall be. 
 
 20 And unless the Lord had shortened 
 those days, no flesh would be saved : but 
 for the sake of the elect, whom he hath 
 chosen, he hath shortened the days. 
 
 21 'And then, if any one say to you, Lo, 
 here is the Christ ; or lo, there ; believe 
 him not. 
 
 22 For false Christs, and false prophets 
 will arise, and will shew signs and won- 
 ders, to seduce, if possible, even the elect. 
 
 23 But do ye 'take heed: behold, I have 
 foretold you all things. 
 
 24 *[f "But in those days, after that afflic- 
 tion, the sun will be darkened, and the 
 moon will not give her light, 
 
 25 And the stars of heaven will fall, and 
 the powers that are in heaven will be 
 shaken.

 CHAPTER XIV. 
 
 I A conspiracy against Christ. 3 Precious ointment 
 is poured on his head by a woman. 10 Judas sell- 
 eth his Master for money. 12 Christ himself fore- 
 telleth how he shall be betrayed by one of his dis- 
 ciples : 22 after the passover prepared, and eaten, 
 instituteth his supper : 26 declareth aforehand the 
 flight of all his disciples, and Peter's denial. 
 43 Judas betrayeth him with a kiss. 46 He is ap- 
 prehended in the garden, 53 falsely accused, and 
 impiously condemned by the Jews' council: 65 
 shamefully abused by them : 66 and thrice denied 
 by Peter. 
 
 AFTER "two days was the passover, 
 and the feast of unleavened bread : 
 and the chief priests, and the scribes, 
 sought how they might take him by craft, 
 and put him to death. 
 
 2 But they said, Not during the feast, 
 lest there be an uproar of the people. 
 
 3 If "And he being in Bethany, in the 
 house of Simon the leper, as he sat at 
 table, there canie a woman having an ala- 
 baster-box of ointment of ||pure nard, very 
 precious ; and she broke the box, and 
 poured it on his head. 
 
 4 And there were some angry within 
 themselves, and saying, Why was this 
 waste of the ointment made ? 
 
 5 For it might have been sold for more 
 than three hundred Upence, and given to 
 the poor. And they murmured against her. 
 
 6 But Jesus said, Let her alone ; why 
 trouble ye her? she hath done a good work 
 on me. 
 
 7 For 'ye have the poor with you always, 
 and when ye will, ye may do them good : 
 but me ye have not always. 
 
 8 She hath done what she could : she is 
 come beforehand to anoint my body for 
 the burying. 
 
 37 
 
The last supper. 
 
 9 Verily, I say to you, Wherever these 
 good tidings are published throughout the 
 whole world, this also which she hath done 
 shall be spoken of, for a memorial of her. 
 
 10 If rf And Judas Iscariot, one of the 
 twelve, went to the chief priests, to betray 
 him to them. 
 
 11 And when they heard it, they were 
 glad, and promised to give him money. 
 And he sought how he might conveniently 
 deliver him up. 
 
 12 1f 'And on the first day of unleavened 
 bread, when they were sacrificing the pass- 
 over, his disciples said to him, W here wilt 
 thou that we go and prepare, that thou 
 mayest eat the passover ? 
 
 13 And he sendeth forth two of his dis- 
 ciples, and saith to them, Go into the city, 
 and there will meet you a man bearing a 
 pitcher of water : follow him : 
 
 14 And wherever he shall go in, say to 
 the master of the house, The Teacher 
 saith, Where is the guest-chamber, where 
 I may eat the passover with my disciples ? 
 
 15 And he will shew you a large upper 
 room furnished and prepared : there make 
 ready for us. 
 
 16 And his disciples went forth, and 
 came into the city, and found as he said 
 to them : and they made ready the pass- 
 over. 
 
 17 f AxiA at evening he cometh with the 
 twelve. 
 
 18 And as they reclined, and ate, Jesus 
 said, Verily I say to you, One of you who 
 eateth with me, will betray me. 
 
 19 And they began to be sorrowful, and 
 to say to him one by one, Is it I ? and an- 
 other, Is it I ? 
 
 20 And he answered and said to them, 
 It is one of the twelve who dippeth with 
 me in the dish. 
 
 21 s The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is 
 written of him : but wo to that man by 
 whom the Son of man is betrayed ! it were 
 good for that man if he had never been 
 born! 
 
 22 U ''And as they ate, Jesus took bread, 
 and having blessed, broke it, and gave to 
 them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body. 
 
 23 And he took the cup, and having given 
 thanks, he gave it to them : and they all 
 drank of it. 
 
 24 And he said to them, This is my blood, 
 that of the new covenant, which is shed for 
 many. 
 
 25 Verily, I say to you, I will drink no 
 more of the fruit of the vine, until that 
 day when I drink it new in the kingdom 
 of God. 
 
 26 If 'And they sung an ||hymn, and went 
 out into the mount of Olives. 
 
 27 *And Jesus saith to them, Ye will all 
 forsake me this night: for it is written, l I 
 will smite the shepherd, and the sheep will 
 be scattered. 
 
 28 But ""after I am risen, I will go before 
 you into Galilee. 
 
 29 "But Peter said to him, Although all 
 shall forsake thee, yet will not I. 
 
 30 And Jesus saith to him, Verily, I say to 
 thee, That to-day, on this night, before the 
 cock crow twice, thou wilt thrice deny me. 
 
 31 But he spoke the more vehemently, 
 If I must die with thee, I will never deny 
 thee. And so also said they all.

 Gethsemane: and he saith to his disciples, 
 Sit here, while I pray. 
 
 33 And he taketh with him Peter, and 
 James, and John, and began to be filled 
 with terror and anguish ; 
 
 34 And saith to them, 'My soul is ex- 
 ceedingly sorrowful, even to death: remain 
 here, and watch. 
 
 35 And going forward a little, he fell on 
 the ground, and prayed that, if it were 
 possible, the hour might pass from him. 
 
 36 And he said, 'Abba, Father, "all things 
 are possible to thee; take away this cup 
 from me : 'yet, not what I will, but what 
 thou wilt. 
 
 37 And he cometh, and findeth them 
 sleeping, and saith to Peter, Simon, sleep- 
 est thou ? couldest thou not watch one 
 hour? 
 
 38 Watch and pray, lest ye enter into 
 trial. 'The spirit indeed is ready, but the 
 flesh is weak. 
 
 39 And again he went away, and prayed, 
 speaking the same words. 
 
 40 And returning, he found them asleep 
 again, (for their eyes were heavy;) and 
 they knew not what to answer him. 
 
 41 And he cometh the third time, and 
 saith to them, Sleep on henceforth, and 
 rest: enough! "the hour is come; behold, 
 the Son of man is delivered into the hands 
 of sinners. 
 
 42 z Arise ! let us go ! lo, he that betray- 
 eth me is at hand. 
 
 43 If *And immediately while he yet 
 spoke, cometh Judas, one of the twelve, 
 and with him a great multitude with 
 swords and staves, from the chief priests, 
 and the scribes, and the elders. 
 
 44 And he who betrayed him, had given 
 them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall 
 kiss, is he; seize him, and lead him away 
 safely. 
 
 45 And having come, he immediately 
 goeth to him, and saith, Master, Master; 
 and kissed him. 
 
 46 If And they laid their hands on him, 
 and took him. 
 
 47 And one of those who stood by, draw- 
 ing his sword, struck the servant of the 
 high priest, and cut off his ear. 
 
 48 'And Jesus answering, said to them, 
 Have ye come out as 
 with swords and with 
 upon me ? 
 
 49 I was daily with you in the temple, 
 teaching, and ye took me not: but "(he 
 scriptures must be fulfilled. 
 
 50 'And they all left him and fled. 
 
 51 And there followed him a certain 
 young man, having a linen cloth thrown 
 around his naked body; and the young 
 men laid hold of him. 
 
 52 And he left the linen cloth, and fled 
 from them naked. 
 
 53 If <And they led Jesus away to the 
 high priest: and with him assembled all 
 the chief priests, and the elders, and the 
 scribes. 
 
 54 And Peter-followed him from afar, 
 even into the palace of the high priest : 
 and he sat with the servants, and warmed 
 himself at the fire. 
 
 55 d And the chief priests, and all the 
 council, sought for testimony against Je 
 
 a robber, 
 staves to seize

Christ is falsely accused, 
 
 sus, in order to put him to death; and 
 found none. 
 
 56 For many testified falsely against him, 
 and their testimony did not agree. 
 
 57 And certain persons arising, testified 
 falsely against him, saying, 
 
 58 We heard him say, 'I will destroy this 
 temple that is made with hands, and with- 
 in three days I will build another made 
 without hands. 
 
 59 And not even thus did their testimony 
 agree. 
 
 60 'And the high priest arising, came for- 
 ward, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest 
 thou nothing? what do these testify against 
 thee? 
 
 61 But *he was silent, and answered no- 
 thing. *Again the high priest asked him, 
 and said to him, Art thou the Christ, the 
 Son of the Blessed ? 
 
 62 And Jesus said, I am: 'and ye will 
 see the Son of man sitting on the right 
 hand of power, and coming in the clouds 
 of heaven. 
 
 63 And the high priest, rending his 
 clothes, saith, Why need we further wit- 
 nesses ? 
 
 64 Ye have heard his blasphemy: what 
 think ye ? And they all condemned him 
 to be worthy of death. 
 
 65 And some began to spit on him, and 
 to cover his face, and to beat him with 
 their fists, and to say to him, Prophesy: 
 and the servants struck him with their 
 open hands. 
 
 66 If 'And Peter being below in the court, 
 there cometh one of the maids of the high 
 priest : 
 
 67 And seeing Peter warming himself, 
 she looked upon him, and said, And thou 
 wast with Jesus the Nazarene. 
 
 68 But he denied, saying, I know not, 
 nor understand what thou sayest. And 
 he went out into the porch : and the cock 
 crowed. 
 
 69 'And a maid seeing him again, began 
 to say to those standing by, This is one of 
 them. 
 
 70 And he denied it again. m And a little 
 after, those who stood by said again to 
 Peter, Surely thou art one of them : "for 
 thou art a Galilean, and thy speech shew 
 eth it. 
 
 71 But he began to curse and to swear, I 
 know not this man of whom ye speak. 
 
 72 "And the second time the cock crowed 
 And Peter called to mind the word that 
 Jesus said to him, Before the cock crow 
 twice, thou wilt thrice deny me. And 
 flthinking thereon, he wept.

 King of the Jews? And he answering, 
 said to him, Thou sayest it. 
 
 3 And the chief priests accused him 
 much : but he answered nothing. 
 
 4 /And Pilate asked him again, saying, 
 Answerest thou nothing ? Dehold how 
 much they testify against thee ! 
 
 5 ''But Jesus still answered nothing; so 
 that Pilate wondered. 
 
 6 Now 'at the feast he used to release to 
 them one prisoner, whomsoever they asked. 
 
 7 And there was one named Barabbas, 
 who lay bound with his seditious compa- 
 nions, who had committed murder in their 
 insurrection. 
 
 8 And the multitude crying aloud, began 
 to request him to do as he had ever done 
 to them. 
 
 9 But Pilate answered them, saying, Do 
 ye wish that I release to you the King of 
 the Jews ? 
 
 10 (For he knew that the chief priests 
 had delivered him up from envy.) 
 
 11 But 'the chief priests stirred up the 
 people that he should rather release to 
 them Barabbas. 
 
 12 And Pilate answering, said again to 
 them, What then will ye that I do to him 
 whom ye call the King of the Jews ? 
 
 13 And they cried out again, Crucify him ! 
 
 14 Then Pilate said to them, Why, what 
 evil hath he done? And they cried out 
 the more vehemently, Crucify him ! 
 
 15 II *And Pilate, wishing to satisfy the 
 multitude, released to them Barabbas, and 
 scourging Jesus, delivered him to be cru- 
 cified. 
 
 16 *And the soldiers led him away into 
 the hall, called Pretorium; and they called 
 together the whole band ; 
 
 17 And they clothed him with purple, 
 and braided and put on him a crown of 
 thorns, 
 
 18 And began to salute him, Hail, King 
 of the Jews ! 
 
 19 And they smote his head with a reed, 
 and spit upon him, and bowing their knees, 
 did him homage. 
 
 20 And when they had made sport with 
 him, they took off from him the purple, and 
 put his own garments on him, and led him 
 out to crucify him. 
 
 21 'And they compel one Simon a Cyre- 
 nian, who was passing by, coming from the 
 country, the father of Alexander and Ru- 
 fus, to bear his cross. 
 
 22 *And they bring him to the place Gol- 
 gotha, which, interpreted, is, The place of 
 a skull. 
 
 23 'And they offered him to drink, wine 
 mingled with myrrh : but he did not 
 take it. 
 
 24 And having nailed him to the cross, 
 m they divide his garments, casting lots 
 upon them, what each should take. 
 
 25 And "it was the third hour, when they 
 placed him on the cross. 
 
 26 And "the inscription of his accusation 
 was written upon it, THE KING OF 
 THE JEWS. 
 
 27 And p with him they crucify two rob- 
 bers, one on his right hand, and one on his 
 left. 
 
 28 And the scripture was fulfilled, which 
 saith, 'And he was reckoned among trans- 
 gressors.

Christ, calling upon God, expirelh. 
 
 29 And 'those passing by, reviled him, 
 shaking their heads, and saying, Ha ! 'thou

 in three days,

 MARK. 
 
 cross 
 
 31 In like manner also the chief priests 
 said scoffingly to each other, with the 
 scribes, He saved others ; himself he can- 
 not save ! 
 
 32 Let the Christ, the King of Israel, 
 descend now from the cross, that we may 
 see and believe. And 'those who were 
 crucified with him, reproached him. 
 
 33 And "at the sixth hour, darkness spread 
 over the whole land, until the ninth hour. 
 
 34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with 
 a loud voice, saying, x Eloi, Eloi, lamma 
 sabachthani? which, interpreted, is, My 
 God, my God, why hast thou forsaken 
 me? 
 
 35 And some of those standing by, hear- 
 ing it, said, Lo, he calleth Elijah. 
 
 36 And "one ran and filled a sponge with 
 vinegar, and placing it on a reed, 'gave 
 him to drink, saying, Wait; let us see 
 whether Elijah will come to take him 
 down. 
 
 37 "And Jesus, sending forth a loud cry, 
 expired. 
 
 38 And 6 the vail of the temple was rent 
 in two, from top to bottom. 
 
 39 1T And c the centurion who stood oppo- 
 site him, seeing that upon thus crying out, 
 he expired, said, Truly this man was the 
 Son of God ! 
 
 40 ''There were also women looking on 
 "from afar, among whom was Mary Mag- 
 dalene, and Mary the mother of James the 
 less and of Joses, and Salome; 
 
 41 Who also, when he was in Galilee, 
 followed him, and ministered to him; 
 and many other women who came up with 
 him to Jerusalem. 
 
 42 ^ s And now, evening coming, (because 
 it was the preparation, that is, the evening 
 before the Sabbath,) 
 
 43 Joseph of Arimathea, an honourable 
 senator, who himself also was Hooking for 
 the kingdom, of God, came, and went in 
 boldly to Pilate, and asked for the body 
 of Jesus. 
 
 44 And Pilate wondered that he was al- 
 ready dead: and calling to him the centu- 
 rion, he asked him whether he was as yet 
 dead. 
 
 45 And learning it from the centurion, he 
 gave the body to Joseph. 
 
 46 'And buying fine linen, he took him 
 down, and .wrapped him in the linen; and 
 he laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn 
 out of a rock, and rolled a stone to the door 
 of the sepulchre. 
 
 47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the 
 mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.

 A ND "the Sabbath being past, Mary 
 -£*• Magdalene, and Mary the mother of 
 James, and Salome, *bought sweet spices, 
 that they might come and anoint him. 
 
 2 'And very early on the first day of the 
 week, they came to the sepulchre at the 
 rising of the sun : 
 
 3 And they said among themselves, Who 
 will roll us away the stone from the door 
 of the sepulchre? 
 
 4 (And looking up, they saw that the 
 stone was rolled away,) for it was very 
 great. 
 
 5 d And going into the sepulchre, they 
 saw a young man sitting on the right, 
 clothed in a white robe; and they were 
 terrified. 
 
 6 'And he saith to them, Be not terrified: 
 ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was cru- 
 cified : he is risen ; he is not here : behold 
 the place where they laid him. 
 
 7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter, 
 that he goeth before you into Galilee: 
 there will ye see him, 'as he said to you. 
 
 8 And going out quickly, they fled 
 from the sepulchre; and trembling and 
 amazement had seized on them: *and 
 they said nothing to any one; for they 
 were afraid. 
 
 9 If And Jesus having risen early,, on the 
 first day of the week, "appeared first to 
 Mary Magdalene, 'out of whom he had 
 cast seven demons. 
 
 10 'She went and reported it to those 
 who had been with him, as they mourned 
 and wept. 
 
 11 'And they, hearing that he was alive, 
 and had been seen by her, disbelieved it. 
 
 12 If After that, he appeared in another 
 form m to two of them, on the road, as they 
 were going into the country. 
 
 13 And they went and reported it to the 
 rest : nor did they believe them. 
 
 14 If "Afterward he appeared to the eleven 
 themselves, as they sat at table, and re- 
 proached them with their unbelief, and 
 obstinacy of heart, because they believed 
 not those who had seen him after he was 
 risen. 
 
 15 "And he said to them, Go into all the 
 world, 'and proclaim the gospel to every 
 creature. 
 
 16 'He that believeth and is immersed, 
 shall be saved ; 'but he that believeth not, 
 shall be condemned. 
 
 17 And these signs will follow those who 
 believe: 'In my name they shall cast out 
 demons; 'they shall speak with new 
 tongues; 
 
 18 "They shall take up serpents ; and if 
 they drink any deadly thing, it shall not 
 hurt them; ^hey shall lay hands on the 
 sick, and they will recover. 
 
 19 If So then, "after the Lord had spoken 
 to them, he was 'taken up into heaven, and 
 "sat on the right hand of God. 
 
 20 And they went forth, and proclaimed 
 the gospel every where, the Lord working 
 with them, "and establishing their word 
 by the miracles which accompanied it. 
 Amen.

 INASMUCH as many have undertaken 
 to write an account of those things 
 which have been accomplished among us, 
 
 2 °As those who were 'from the beginning 
 eye-witnesses, and afterward ministers of 
 the word delivered them to us ; 
 
 3 C I also have determined, having traced 
 all things accurately from the beginning, 
 to write to thee d in order, 'most excellent 
 Theophilus, 
 
 4 f That thou mightest know the certainty 
 of those things in which thou hast been 
 instructed. 
 
 5 If rpHERE was s 'm the days of Herod 
 
 -A- the king of Judea, a certain priest 
 named Zachariah, *of the course of Abijah: 
 and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, 
 and her name was Elizabeth. 
 
 6 And they were both 'righteous before 
 God, walking in all the commandments 
 and ordinances of the Lord blameless. 
 
 7 And they had no child, because Eliza- 
 beth was barren; and both were far ad- 
 vanced in years. 
 
 8 And it came to pass, that, while he 
 served as priest before God In the order 
 of his course, 
 
 9 It was his lot, according to the custom 
 of the priesthood, to go into the temple of 
 the Lord and 'burn incense. 
 
 10 m And all the multitude of the people 
 were praying without, at the time of in- 
 cense. 
 
 11 And there appeared to him an angel 
 of the Lord, standing on the right side of 
 "the altar of incense. 
 
 12 And Zachariah seeing him, "was trou- 
 bled, and fear fell upon him. 
 
 13 But the angel said to him, Fear not, 
 Zachariah : for thy prayer is heard ; and 
 thy wife Elizabeth will bear thee a son, 
 and p thou shalt call his name John. 
 
 14 And thou shalt have joy and exulta- 
 tion, and 'many will rejoice in his birth. 
 
 15 For he will be great before the Lord, 
 and he r shall not drink wine and strong 
 drink ; and he will be filled with the Holy 
 Spirit, 'even from his mother's womb. 
 
 16 'And many of the sons of Israel he 
 will turn to the Lord their God. 
 
 17 "And he will go before him in the 
 spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the 
 hearts of fathers to their children, and 
 the disobedient ||to the wisdom of the just: 
 to make ready for the Lord a prepared 
 people. 
 
 18 And Zachariah said to the angel, "By 
 what shall I know this ? for I am an old 
 man, and my wife is far advanced in years. 
 
 19 And the angel answering, said to him, 
 I am ^Gabriel, who stand in the presence 
 of God ; and am sent to speak to thee, and 
 to announce to thee these glad tidings. 
 
 20 And behold, "thou shalt be dumb, and 
 not able to speak, until the day when this

 is accomplished, because thou didst not 
 believe my words, which will be fulfilled 
 in their season. 
 
 21 And the people were waiting for Zach- 
 ariah, and wondered that he remained so 
 long in the temple. 
 
 22 And when he came out, he could not 
 speak to them: and they perceived that he 
 had seen a vision in the temple; for he 
 beckoned to them, and remained speech- 
 less. 
 
 23 And it came to pass, when 'the days 
 of his ministration were accomplished, he 
 departed to his own house. 
 
 24 And after these days his wife Eliza- 
 beth conceived, and hid herself five months, 
 saying, 
 
 25 Thus hath the Lord done to me in the 
 days in which he looked on me, to 'take 
 away my reproach among men. 
 
 26 And in the sixth month the angel Ga- 
 briel was sent from God to a city of Gali- 
 lee, named Nazareth, 
 
 27" To a virgin ^espoused to a man whose 
 name was Joseph, of the house of David ; 
 and the virgin's name was Mary. 
 
 28 And the angel coming in, said to her, 
 'Hail, thou Hhighly favoured, / the Lord is 
 with thee : blessed art thou among women ! 
 
 29 And she seeing him, e was troubled at 
 his words, and considered what this salu- 
 tation might mean. 
 
 30 And the angel said to her, Fear not, 
 Mary: for thou hast found favour with 
 God. 
 
 31 ft And behold, thou shalt conceive, 
 and bear a son, and 'shalt call his name 
 JESUS. 
 
 32 He will be great, 'and will be called 
 the Son of the Highest; and 'the Lord God 
 will give to him the throne of his father 
 David. 
 
 33 "And he will reign over the house of 
 Jacob for ever ; and of his kingdom there 
 will be no end. 
 
 34 Then said Mary to the angel, How 
 shall this be, since I know not a man ? 
 
 35 And the angel answering, said to her, 
 "The Holy Spirit will come upon thee, and 
 the power of the Highest will overshadow 
 thee : therefore also thy holy offspring will 
 be called "the Son of God. 
 
 36 And behold, thy cousin Elizabeth hath 
 herself also conceived a son in her old age; 
 and this is the sixth month with her who 
 is called barren : 
 
 37 For ''with God nothing is impossible. 
 
 38 And Mary said, Behold the handmaid 
 of the Lord ; be it to me according to thy 
 word. And the angel departed from her. 
 
 39 And Mary arose in those days, and 
 went into the hill -country with haste, 'into 
 a city of Judah, 
 
 40 And entered the house of Zachariaii, 
 and saluted Elizabeth. 
 
 41 And it came to pass, that when Eliza- 
 beth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe 
 leaped in her womb: and Elizabeth was 
 filled with the Holy Spirit, 
 
 42 And spoke out with a loud voice and 
 said, 'Blessed art thou among women, and 
 blessed is the fruit of thv womb ! 
 
 41 
 
Mary's song of thanksgiving. 
 
 43 And whence is this to me, that the 
 mother of my lord should come to me ? 
 
 44 For lo, as the voice of thy salutation 
 came to my ears, the babe leaped in my 
 womb for joy. 
 
 45 And happy she who believed ||that 
 there will be a fulfilment of the things 
 which were spoken to her by the Lord. 
 
 46 And Mary said, 'My soul magnifieth 
 the Lord, 
 
 47 And my spirit exulteth in God my 
 Saviour. 
 
 48 For 'he hath regarded the humble 
 condition of his handmaiden: for behold, 
 henceforth "all generations will call me 
 happy. 
 
 49 For the Almighty "hath done to me 
 great things ; and 'holy is his name, 
 
 50 And »his mercy is on those who fear 
 him, from generation to generation. 
 
 51 'He sheweth strength with his arm; 
 "he scattereth the proud in the imagination 
 of their hearts. 
 
 52 'He hurleth the mighty from their 
 thrones, and exalteth the lowly. 
 
 53 'He filleth the hungry with good things, 
 and the rich he sendeth away empty. 
 
 54 He aideth Israel his servant, ''remem- 
 bering mercy, 
 
 55 ("As he promised our fathers,) toward 
 Abraham, and toward his seed for ever. 
 
 56 And Mary remained with her about 
 three months, and returned to her own 
 house. 
 
 57 Now Elizabeth's time came to be de- 
 livered ; and she brought forth a son. 
 
 58 And her neighbours and her kindred 
 heard that the Lord had shewn her great 
 kindness ; and 'they rejoiced with her. 
 
 59 And it came to pass, that *on the 
 eighth day they came to circumcise the 
 child; and they were about to call him 
 Zachariah, after the name of his father. 
 
 60 And his mother answered and said, 
 *No; but he shall be called John. 
 
 61 And they said to her, There is none 
 of thy kindred who is called by this name. 
 
 62 And they made signs to his father, 
 how he would have him called. 
 
 63 And he asked for a writing-tablet, and 
 wrote, saying, 'His name is John. And they 
 all wondered. 
 
 64 *And his mouth was opened immedi- 
 ately, and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, 
 blessing God. 
 
 65 And fear came on all who dwelt 
 around them: and all these things were 
 reported abroad throughout all 'the hill- 
 country of Judea. 
 
 66 And all who heard them, m laid them 
 up in their hearts, saying, What will this 
 child be ! And "the hand of the Lord was 
 with him. 
 
 67 And his father Zachariah "was filled 
 with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, say- 
 ing, 
 
 68 "Blessed be the Lord, the God of Is- 
 rael, that 9 he hath visited and redeemed 
 his people, 
 
 69 r And hath raised up an horn of deli- 
 verance for us, in the house of his servant 
 David : 
 
 70 ('As he promised by the mouth of his 
 holy prophets of old,) 
 
 71 Deliverance from our enemies and 
 from the hand of all who hate us ;

 CHAPTER II. 
 
 1 Augustus registereth all the Roman empire. 6 The 
 birth of Christ. 8 One angel relateth it to the 
 shepherds: 13 many sing praises to God 'for it. 
 21 Christ is circumcised. 22 Mary purified. 28 
 Simeon and Anna prophesy of Christ : 40 who in- 
 creaseth in wisdom, 46 questioneth in the temple 
 with the doctors, 51 and is obedient to his parents. 
 
 AND it came to pass in those days, that 
 there went forth a decree from Cesar 
 Augustus, that all the Uprovince should be 
 registered. 
 
 2 ("This registering was the first which was 
 madewhileCyreniuswasgovernorof Syria.) 
 
 3 And all went to be registered, each to 
 his own city. 
 
 4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, 
 from the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to 
 'the city of David, which is called Beth- 
 lehem, ('because he was of the house and 
 lineage of David,) 
 
 5 To be registered with Mary d his es- 
 poused wife, who was with child. 
 
 6 And it happened, that while they were 
 there, the time of her delivery came. 
 
 7 And 'she brought forth her first-born 
 son, and swathed him, and laid him in a 
 ilmanger; because there was no room for 
 them in the ||inn. 
 
 8 And there were in the same country- 
 shepherds in the field, keeping || watch 
 over their flock by night. 
 
 9 And lo, an angel of the Lord appeared 
 to them, and the glory of the Lord shone 
 around them; 'and they feared greatly. 
 
 10 And the angel said to them, Fear not: 
 for behold, I bring you good tidings of 
 great joy, ^which will be to all the people. 
 
 11 'For there is born to you to-day, in 
 the city of David, 'a Saviour, *who is 
 Christ the Lord. 
 
 12 And this is the sign to you ; Ye shall 
 find an infant swathed, lying in a manger. 
 
 13 'And suddenly there appeared with 
 the angel a multitude of the heavenly 
 host, praising God, and saying, 
 
 14 "Glory to God in the highest, and on 
 earth "peace ;~^ood will towards men. 
 
 15 And it came to pass, as the angels de- 
 parted from them into heaven, the shep- 
 herds said one to another, Come, let us go 
 to Bethlehem, and see this thing which hath 
 
The circumcision of Christ. 
 
 taken place, which the Lord hath made 
 known to us. 
 
 16 And they came with haste, and found 
 Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in a 
 manger. 
 
 17 And on seeing it, they made known 
 what had been said to them concerning 
 this child. 
 
 18 And all who heard it, wondered at 
 the things which were told them by the 
 shepherds. 
 
 19 p But Mary kept all these things, and 
 pondered them in her heart. 
 
 20 And the shepherds returned, glorify- 
 ing and praising God for all which they 
 had heard and seen, as it was told to them. 
 
 21 'And when eight days were accom- 
 
 Elished for the circumcising of the child, 
 is name was called r JESUS, which was 
 given him by the angel before he was con- 
 ceived in the womb. 
 
 22 And when the 'days of her purifica- 
 tion according to the law of Moses were 
 accomplished, they brought him to Jerusa- 
 lem, to present him to the Lord ; 
 
 23 (As it is written in the law of the Lord, 
 'Every male that is the first-born of his 
 mother shall be called holy to the Lord;) 
 
 24 And to offer a sacrifice according to 
 "what is said in the law of the Lord, A 
 pair of turtle-doves, or two young pigeons. 
 
 25 And behold, there was a man in Jeru- 
 salem, whose name was Simeon ; and this 
 man was just and devout, *waiting for the 
 consolation of Israel : and the Holy Spirit 
 was upon him. 
 
 26 And it had been revealed to him by 
 the Holy Spirit, that he should not "see 
 death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ. 
 
 27 And he came * ||by the Spirit into the 
 temple ; and when the parents brought in 
 the child Jesus, to do concerning him ac- 
 cording to the custom of the law, 
 
 28 He took him up in his arms, and 
 blessed God, and said, 
 
 29 "Now, Lord, thou dismissest thy ser- 
 vant in peace, according to thy word: 
 
 30 For mine eyes 'have seen thy salvation, 
 
 31 Which thou hast prepared in the pre- j 
 sence of all people ; 
 
 32 C A light to enlighten the nations, and 
 the glory of thy people Israel. 
 
 33 And Joseph and his mother stood won- 
 dering at the things which were spoken of 
 him. 
 
 34 And Simeon blessed them, and said 
 to Mary his mother, Behold, this child is 
 
 {laced for the ''fall and rising of many in 
 srael ; and for ' || a sign which shall be 
 spoken against, 
 
 35 (Nay, f & sword will pierce even thine 
 own soul ;) that the thoughts of many hearts 
 may be revealed. 
 
 36 And there was one Anna, a prophet- 
 ess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe 
 of Asher : she was advanced in age, having 
 lived with an husband seven years from 
 her virginity; 
 
 37 And she was a widow of about eighty- 
 four years, who departed not from the 
 temple, but served God with fastings and 
 prayers g night and day. 
 
 38 And she coming up at that instant, 
 gave thanks to the Lord, and spoke of him 
 to all who were looking for redemption in 
 HJerusalem.

 39 And when they had performed all

 40 'And the child grew, and became 
 strong in spirit, being filled with wisdom ; 
 and the favour of God was upon him. 
 
 41 Tf Now his parents went to Jerusalem 
 *every year at the feast of the passover. 
 
 42 And when he was twelve years old, 
 they went up to Jerusalem, according to 
 the custom of the feast. 
 
 43 And when they had finished the days, 
 as they returned, the child Jesus remained 
 behind in Jerusalem ; and Joseph and his 
 mother knew it not. 
 
 44 But, supposing him to be in the com- 
 pany, they went a day's journey; and they 
 sought him among their kindred and ac- 
 quaintance. 
 
 45 And not finding him, they returned to 
 Jerusalem, seeking nim. 
 
 46 And it came to pass, that after three 
 days they found him in the temple, sitting 
 in the midst of the teachers, both hearing 
 them, and asking them questions. 
 
 47 And 'all who heard him were amazed 
 at his understanding and answers. 
 
 48 And when they saw him, they were 
 struck with astonishment : and his mother 
 said to him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt 
 with us? behold, thy father and I were 
 seeking thee in anguish. 
 
 49 And he said to them, Why did ye seek 
 me? knew ye not that I must be |]about 
 m my Father's business ? 
 
 50 And "they understood not the words 
 which he spoke to them. 
 
 51 And he went down with them, and 
 came to Nazareth, and was subject to 
 them : but his mother "kept all these things 
 in her heart. 
 
 52 And Jesus ^advanced in wisdom and 
 ||age, and in favour with God and men. 
 
 CHAPTER III. 
 
 1 The preaching and immersion of John: 15 his tes- 
 timony of Christ. 20 Herod imprisonelh John. 
 21 Christ immersed, receiveth testimony from hea- 
 ven. 23 The age, and genealogy of Christ from 
 Joseph upwards. 
 
 NOW in the fifteenth year of the reign 
 of Tiberius Cesar, Pontius Pilate being 
 governor of Judea, and Herod being te- 
 trarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip 
 tetrarch of Iturea and of the region of Tra- 
 chonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene, 
 
 2 "Annas and Caiaphas being the high 
 priests, the word of God came to John the 
 son of Zachariah in the desert. 
 
 3 'And he came into all the country 
 around the Jordan, proclaiming the im- 
 mersion of repentance, 'for the remission 
 of sins ; 
 
 4 As it is written in the book of the words 
 of Isaiah the prophet, saying, d The voice 
 of one crying m the desert, Prepare 
 the way of the Lord ! make straight his 
 paths ! 
 
 5 Every valley shall be filled, and every 
 mountain and hill made low; and the 
 crooked shall become straight, and the 
 rough ways smooth ; 
 
 6 And 'all flesh shall see the salvation of 
 God. 
 
 7 Then said lie to the multitudes that 
 came forth to be immersed by him, 'Gene- 
 
 43 
 
John's testimony of Christ. 
 
 ration of vipers ! who hath warned you to 
 flee from the coming wrath ? 
 
 8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of 
 repentance, and begin not to say within 
 yourselves, We have Abraham for our fa- 
 ther : for I say to you, That God is able 
 from these stones to raise up children to 
 Abraham. 
 
 9 And even now the axe lieth at the 
 root of the trees: s every tree therefore 
 which beareth not good fruit, is cut down, 
 and cast into the fire. 
 
 10 And the multitudes asked him, say- 
 ing, R What then shall we do ? 
 
 11 He answering, saith to them, 'He that 
 hath two coats, let him impart to him who 
 hath none ; and he who hath food, let him 
 do in like manner. 
 
 12 And there 'came also publicans to be 
 immersed, and said to him, Teacher, what 
 shall we do ? 
 
 13 And he said to them, 'Exact no more 
 than that which is appointed you. 
 
 14 And the soldiers also asked him, say- 
 ing, And what shall we do ? And he said 
 to them, Oppress and "defraud no one; 
 and be content with your || wages. 
 
 15 And as the people were ||in expecta- 
 tion, and all ||were considering in their 
 hearts concerning John, whether he were 
 the Christ, or not, 
 
 16 John answered them all, saying, "I in- 
 deed immerse you ||in water ; but- there 
 cometh one mightier than I, whose shoe- 
 latchet I am not worthy to unloose: he 
 will immerse you in the Holy Spirit and 
 fire: 
 
 17 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will 
 thoroughly cleanse his threshing-floor, and 
 "will gather the wheat into his garner, but 
 will burn up the chaff" with unquenchable 
 fire. 
 
 18 And with many other exhortations he 
 published the good tidings to the people. 
 
 19 p But Herod the tetrarch, being re- 
 proved by him concerning Herodias, the 
 wife of his brother Philip, and concerning 
 all the evils which Herod had done, 
 
 20 Added this also to all, that he shut up 
 John in prison. 
 
 21 Now, when all the people were im 
 mersed, *it came to pass, that Jesus also

 CHAPTER IV. 
 
 I The temptation and fasting of Christ. 13 He over- 
 cometh the devil: 14 beginneth to preach. 16 The 
 people of Nazareth admire his gracious words. 
 33 He cureth one having a demon, 38 Peter's 
 mother-in-law, 40 and divers other sick persons. 
 41 The demons acknowledge Christ, and are re- 
 proved for it. 43 He preacheth through the cities. 
 
 AND "Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, 
 turned from the Jordan, and 'was ] 
 by the Spirit into the desert, 
 
 2 Being forty days tempted by the devil 
 And c in those days he ate nothing : and 
 when they were ended, he was afterwards 
 hungry. 
 
 3 And the devil said to him, If thou art 
 the Son of God, bid this stone become 
 bread. 
 
 4 And Jesus answered him, saying, d It 
 is written, Man shall not live by bread 
 alone, but by every word of God. 
 
 5 And the devil, taking him up into an 
 high mountain, shewed to him all the king- 
 doms of the world in a moment. 
 
 6 And the devil said to him, All this 
 power will I give thee, and its glory: for 
 
 it is delivered to me, and to whomsoever 
 I will, I give it. 
 
 7 If thou therefore wilt ||worship me, all 
 shall be thine. 
 
 8 And Jesus answering, said to him, Get 
 thee behind me, Satan : for -^ it is written, 
 Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and 
 thou shalt serve him alone. 
 
 9 ff And he brought him to Jerusalem, and 
 placed him on the pinnacle of the temple, 
 and said to him, If thou art the Son of 
 God, cast thyself down from hence. 
 
 10 For *it is written, He will give his 
 angels charge concerning thee, to keep 
 thee : 
 
 II And they will bear thee on their 
 hands, lest thoU dash thy foot upon a 
 stone. 
 
 12 And Jesus answering, said to him, 'It 
 is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy 
 God. 
 
 'was led 
 
Christ beginneth to preach. 
 
 13 And the devil having finished every 
 temptation, departed from him *for a season. 
 
 14 1f 'And Jesus returned m in the power 
 of the Spirit into "Galilee: and there went 
 out a report concerning him through all 
 the surrounding region. 
 
 15 And he taught in their synagogues, 
 being praised by all. 
 
 16 "fl And he came to "Nazareth, where 
 he was brought up: and, as his custom 
 was, 'he went on the Sabbath into the sy- 
 nagogue ; and he stood up to read : 
 
 17 And there was delivered to him the 
 book of Isaiah the prophet. And unrolling 
 the volume, he found the place where it 
 was written, 
 
 18 'The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, 
 because he hath anointed me to publish 
 glad tidings to the poor ; he hath sent me 
 to heal the broken-hearted, to proclaim 
 deliverance to the captives, and recover- 
 ing of sight to the blind, to set at liberty 
 the oppressed, 
 
 19 To proclaim the acceptable year of 
 the Lord. 
 
 20 And rolling up the volume, he returned 
 it to the servant, and sat down. And the 
 eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened 
 on him. 
 
 21 And he began to say to them, To-day 
 is this scripture fulfilled in your ears. 
 
 22 And all bore witness to him, and 'won- 
 dered at the gracious words which issued 
 from his mouth, and said, 'Is not this the 
 son of Joseph? 
 
 23 And he said to them, Ye will surely 
 say to me this proverb, Physician, heal 
 thyself: whatever we have heard done in 
 'Capernaum, do also here in "thy country. 
 
 24 And he said, Verily, I say to you, No 
 *prophet is accepted in his own country. 
 
 25 And in truth I say to you, y many 
 widows were in Israel in the days of Eli- 
 jah, when the heaven was shut up three 
 years and six months, when there was a 
 great famine throughout all the land : 
 
 26 But to none of them was Elijah sent, 
 but to a widow in Zarephath of Sidon. 
 
 27 'And many lepers were in Israel in 
 the time of Elisha the prophet ; and none 
 of them was cleansed, but only Naaman 
 the Syrian. 
 
 28 And all in the synagogue, hearing this, 
 were filled with wrath, 
 
 29 And rose up, and thrust him out of 
 the city, and led him to the ||brow of the 
 mountain on which their city was built, in 
 order to throw him down headlong. 
 
 30 But he, "passing through the midst of 
 them, went away. 
 
 31 And 'he came down to Capernaum, a 
 city of Galilee, and taught them on the 
 Sabbath. 
 
 32 And they were astonished at his teach- 
 ing : 'for his word was with authority. 
 
 33 f d And in the synagogue there was a 
 man having a spirit of an unclean demon ; 
 and he cried out with a loud voice, 
 
 34 Saying, Ah ! what have we to do with 
 thee, Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to 
 destroy us? e I know thee who thou art, 
 ^the Holy One of God ! 
 
 35 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Be 
 silent, and come ou t of him. And the demon, 
 throwing him down in their midst, came 
 out of him, without having harmed him.

 36 And they were all amazed, and spoke 
 with each other, saying, What a word is 
 this ! for with authority and power he 
 commandeth the unclean spirits, and they 
 come out. 
 
 57 And his fame spread through all the 
 surrounding country. 
 
 38 U 'And he arose from the synagogue, 
 and entered into the house of Simon. And 
 Simon's mother-in-law was afflicted with 
 a violent fever; and they entreated him 
 for her. 
 
 39 And standing over her, he rebuked 
 the fever; and it left her: and immedi- 
 ately she arose and ministered to them. 
 
 40 H "And as the sun was setting, all who 
 had any sick with various diseases, brought 
 them to him: and he laid his hands on each 
 one of them, and healed them. 
 
 41 'And demons also came out of many, 
 crying out, and saying, Thou art the Christ, 
 the Son of God ! And *he, rebuking them, 
 suffered them not ||to speak : for they knew 
 him to be the Christ. 
 
 42 'And when it was day, he departed, 
 and went into a desert place; and the 
 multitudes sought him, and came to him, 
 and would have held him, that he should 
 not depart from them. 
 
 43 But he said to them, I must announce 
 to other cities also the good news of the 
 kingdom of God, for therefore am I sent. 
 
 44 m And he published it in the synagogues 
 of Galilee. 
 
 CHAPTER V. 
 
 1 Christ teacheth the people out of Peter's ship : 4 in 
 a miraculous taking of fishes, sheweth how he 
 will make him and his partners fishers of men : 
 12 cleanseth the leper : 16 prayeth in the desert: 
 18 healeth a paralytic : 27 calleth Matthew the 
 publican : 29 eateth with sinners, as being the 
 physician of souls: 34 foretelleth the fastings and 
 afflictions of the apostles after his ascension : 
 36 and likeneth faint-hearted and weak disciples 
 to old bottles and worn garments. 
 
 AND "it came to pass, that as the people 
 pressed upon him to hear the word of 
 God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret, 
 
 2 And saw two ships standing by the 
 lake : but the fishermen were gone out of 
 them, and were washing their nets. 
 
 3 And entering one of the ships, which 
 was Simon's, he prayed him to put forth a 
 little from the land. And he sat down, 
 and taught the people from the ship. 
 
 4 And as he ceased speaking, he said to 
 Simon, 'Launch out into the deep, and let 
 down your nets for a draught. 
 
 5 And Simon answering, said to him, 
 Master, we have toiled all the night, and 
 taken nothing ; yet, at thy word I will let 
 down the net. 
 
 6 And having done this, they enclosed a 
 great multitude of fishes: and their net 
 was breaking. 
 
 7 And they beckoned to their companions 
 in the other ship, to come and help them. 
 And they came, and filled both the ships, 
 so that they began to sink. 
 
 8 And Simon Peter seeing it, fell down 
 at Jesus' knees, saying, 'Depart from me ; 
 for I am a sinful man, O Lord. 
 
 9 For amazement had seized him and all 
 who were with him, at the draught of the 
 fishes which they had taken : 
 
 10 And in like manner also James and 
 John the. sons of Zebedee, who were part- 
 
 45 
 
Christ healeth the paralytic. 
 
 LUKE. 
 
 And Jesus said to Si- 
 d henceforth thou shalt 
 
 ners with Simon, 
 mon, Fear not : 
 catch men. 
 
 11 And they brought their ships to land, 
 'left all, and followed him. 
 
 12 If 'And it came to pass, when he was 
 in a certain city, behold, a man full of 
 leprosy: who seeing Jesus, fell on his face, 
 and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou 
 wilt, thou canst cleanse me. 
 
 13 And stretching out his hand, he touch- 
 ed him, saying, I will : Be cleansed. And 
 immediately the leprosy departed from him. 
 
 14 f And he charged him to tell no one: 
 but go, and shew thyself to the priest, and 
 offer for thy cleansing, A as Moses com- 
 manded, for a testimony to them. 
 
 15 But his fame spread abroad the more: 
 'and great multitudes came together to hear 
 and to be healed by him of their infirmities. 
 
 16 'But he withdrew into the solitary 
 places, and prayed. 
 
 17 If And it happened on a certain day, as 
 he was teaching, that there were Pharisees 
 and teachers of the law sitting by, who had 
 come from every village of Galilee, and 
 Judea, and Jerusalem : and the power of 
 the Lord was present to heal them. 
 
 18 If 'And benold, men brought on a bed 
 a man who was paralytic: and they sought 
 to bring him in, and lay him before him. 
 _ 19 And finding no means of bringing him 
 in, on account of the crowd, they went 
 upon the house, and let him down through 
 the tiling with his couch, into the midst 
 before Jesus. 
 
 20 And seeing their faith, he said to him, 
 Man, thy sins are forgiven thee. 
 
 21 m And the Scribes and the Pharisees 
 began to reason, saying, Who is this that 
 uttereth blasphemies ? "Who can forgive 
 sins but God alone? 
 
 22 But Jesus perceived their thoughts, 
 and answering, said to them, Why reason 
 ye in your hearts ? 
 
 23 Which is easier, to say, Thy sins are 
 forgiven thee; or to say, Arise and walk? 
 
 24 But that ye may know that the Son 
 of man hath power on earth to forgive 
 sins, (he said to the paralytic,) I say to 
 thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go 
 to thine house. 
 
 25 And immediately he arose before them, 
 and taking up that on which he lay, went 
 away to his house, glorifying God. 
 
 26 And they were all struck with amaze- 
 ment, and glorified God ; and they were 
 filled with fear, saying, We have seen 
 strange things to-day ! 
 
 27 If "And after this he went forth, and 
 saw a publican named Levi, sitting at the 
 custom-house: and he said to him, Follow 
 me. 
 
 28 And he left all, arose, and followed 
 him. 
 
 29 p And Levi made him a great feast in 
 his own house ; and 'there was a great 
 company of publicans, and of others who 
 reclined with them at table. 
 
 30 But the Scribes and Pharisees of the 
 place murmured against his disciples, say- 
 ing, Why do ye eat and drink with pub- 
 licans and sinners ? 
 
 31 And Jesus answering, said to them, 
 Those who are well need not a physician ; 
 but those who are sick.

 garment upon an old : otherwise, the new 
 teareth it, and the new part suiteth not 
 the old. 
 
 37 And no one putteth new wine into 
 old ||bottles; else the new wine will burst

 will perish.

 CHAPTER VI. 
 
 1 Christ reproveth the Pharisees' blindness about the 
 observance of the Sabbath, by scripture, reason, a?id 
 miracle : 13 chooselh tvielve apostles : 17 healeth 
 the diseased: 20 preacheth to his disciples before 
 the people of blessings and curses : 27 how we must, 
 love our enemies: 46 and join the obedience of good 
 works to the hearing of the word: lest in the evil 
 day of temptation we fall like a house built upon 
 the face of the earth, without any foundation. 
 
 ND "it happened on the || first Sab- 
 bath after the second day of the pass- 
 
 A 
 
 over, that he went through the fields of 
 grain; and his disciples plucked the ears 
 of grain, and ate, rubbing them in their 
 hands. 
 
 2 And some of the Pharisees said to them, 
 Why do ye that 'which it is not lawful to 
 do on the Sabbath ? 
 
 3 And Jesus ' answering them, said, 
 Have ye then not read this, 'what David 
 did, when he was hungry and those with 
 him ; 
 
 4 How he went into the house of God, 
 and took and ate the ||shew -bread, and gave 
 also to those with him, d which it is lawful 
 for none to eat but the priests alone ? 
 
 5 And he said to them, The Son of man 
 is Lord also of the Sabbath. 
 
 6 "And it happened also on another Sab- 
 bath, that he went into the synagogue, and 
 taught : and there was a man whose right 
 hand was withered : 
 
 7 And the scribes and Pharisees watched 
 him, whether he would heal him on the 
 Sabbath ; that they might find an accusa- 
 tion against him. 
 
 8 But he knew their thoughts, and said 
 to the man who had the withered hand, 
 Arise, and stand forth in the midst. And 
 he arose, and stood forth. 
 
 9 And Jesus said to them, I will ask you 
 a question ; Is it lawful on the Sabbath to 
 do good, or to do evil ? to save life, or to 
 destroy it ? ^- 
 
 10 And looking round upon them all, he 
 said to the man, Stretch forth thy hand. 
 And he did so : and his hand was restored 
 sound as the other. 
 
 11 And they were filled with madness; 
 
Christ teacheth forbearance, 
 
 and consulted with each other what they 
 should do to Jesus. 
 
 12 'And it came to pass in those days, 
 that he went out into the mountain to pray, 
 and spent the night in prayer to God. 
 
 13 If And when it was day, he called to 
 him his disciples : s and he chose from them 
 twelve, whom also he named Apostles; 
 
 14 Simon ("whom he also named Peter) 
 and Andrew his brother, James and John, 
 Philip and Bartholomew, 
 
 15 Matthew and Thomas, James the son 
 of Alpheus, and Simon called Zelotes, 
 
 16 And Judas 'the brother of James, and 
 Judas Iscariot, who also became a traitor. 
 
 17 If And coming down with them, he 
 stood in the plain with a crowd of his dis- 
 ciples, *and a great multitude of people 
 from all Judea and Jerusalem, and from 
 the sea-coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came 
 to hear him, and to be healed of their dis- 
 eases ; 
 
 18 And those vexed by unclean spirits : 
 and they were healed. 
 
 19 And the whole multitude 'sought to 
 touch him ; for ""power went forth from 
 him, and healed them all. 
 
 20 1f And he raising his eyes to his disci- 
 ples, said, "Happy are ye poor ; for yours 
 is the kingdom ot God. 
 
 21 "Happy ye that hunger now: for ye 
 shall be satisfied. 'Happy ye that weep

 48 He is like a man building a house, 
 who dug deep, and laid the foundation on 
 the rock: and when the flood arose, the 
 stream dashed upon that house, and could 
 not shake it: for it was founded on the 
 rock. 
 
 49 But he who heareth and doeth not, is 
 like a man who built a house upon the 
 earth, without a foundation ; which, when 
 the stream dashed against it, immediately 
 fell ; and the ruin of that house Was great. 
 
 CHAPTER VII. 
 
 1 Christ findeth greater faith in the centurion, a Gen- 
 tile, than in any of the Jews : 10 healeth his servant, 
 being absent : 1 1 raiseth from death the widow's 
 son atNain: 19 answereth John's messengers with 
 the declaration of his miracles: 24 testifieth to the 
 people what opinion he held of John: 30 inveigheth 
 against the Jews, who with neither the manners 
 of John nor of Jesus could be won: 36 and sheweth 
 by occasion of Mary Magdalene, how he is a friend 
 to sinners, not to maintain them in sins, but to 
 forgive them their sins, upon their faith and re- 
 pentance. 
 
 NOW, when he had finished all his dis- 
 course in the hearing of the people, 
 "he entered Capernaum. 
 2 And a certain centurion's servant, who 
 
 47 
 
The centurion's servant healed. 
 
 was dear to him, was sick, and about to 
 die. 
 
 3 And hearing of Jesus, he sent to him 
 elders of the Jews, asking him to come 
 and heal his servant. 
 
 4 And they came to Jesus, and besought 
 him earnestly, saying, He is worthy that 
 thou shouldest do this for him : 
 
 5 For he loveth our nation, and he him- 
 self built our synagogue. 
 
 6 And Jesus went with them. And when 
 he was now not far from the house, the 
 centurion sent friends to him, saying to 
 him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am 
 not worthy that thou shouldest enter under 
 my roof; 
 
 7 Wherefore neither thought I myself 
 worthy to come to thee; but speak the 
 word, and my servant will be healed. 
 
 8 For I am a man placed under authori- 
 ty, having under me soldiers, and I say to 
 this man, Go, and he goeth; and to an- 
 other, Come, and he cometh ; and to my 
 servant, Do this, and he doeth it. 
 
 9 And Jesus hearing this, wondered at 
 him, and turning, said to the multitude 
 that followed him, I say to you, Not even 
 in Israel have I found so great faith ! 
 
 10 And those who were sent, returning 
 to the house, found the sick servant well. 
 
 11 If And it happened on the day after, 
 that he went into a city called Nain : and 
 many of his disciples went with him, and 
 a great multitude. 
 
 12 And as he drew near the gate of the 
 city, behold, there was a dead man carried 
 out, the only son of his mother, and she 
 was a widow: and many people of the 
 city were with her. 
 
 13 And the Lord seeing her, had com- 
 passion on her, and said to her, Weep not. 
 
 14 And he came and touched the ||bier : 
 and those who bore it stopped. And he 
 said, Young man, I say to thee, 'Arise. 
 
 15 And he that was dead sat up, and 
 began to speak: and he delivered him to 
 his mother. 
 
 16 c And fear seized all: and they glori- 
 fied God, saying, d A great prophet hath 
 arisen among us ; and, "God hath visited 
 his people. 
 
 17 And this report concerning him went 
 forth through all Judea, and through all 
 the surrounding region. 
 
 18 'And the disciples of John reported to 
 him concerning all these things. 
 
 19 5 And John, calling to him two of his 
 disciples, sent them to Jesus, saying, Art 
 thou he that cometh ? or look we for an- 
 other ? 
 
 20 And the men coming to him, said, 
 John the Baptist hath sent us to thee, say- 
 ing, Art thou he that cometh ? or look we 
 for another ? 
 
 21 And at that very hour he healed many 
 from their infirmities, and plagues, and 
 from evil spirits ; and to many that were 
 blind he gave sight. 
 
 22 ff And Jesus answering, said to them, 
 Go, and report to John what ye have seen 
 and heard; *that the blind receive their 
 sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleans- 
 ed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, 'the 
 poor receive glad tidings ; 
 
 23 And happy is he, whoever is not ||of- 
 fended in me.

 PA If *And the messengers of John having 
 departed, he began to say to the people 
 concerning John, What went ye out into 
 the desert to see ? A reed shaken by 
 the wind ? 
 
 25 But what went ye out to see ? A man 
 clothed in soft raiment? Behold, those 
 who wear gorgeous apparel, and live in 
 luxury, are in palaces. 
 
 26 But what went ye out to see? A pro- 
 phet? Yes, I say to you, and far more 
 than a prophet ! 
 
 27 This is he, of whom it is written, 'Be- 
 hold, I send my messenger before thee, 
 who shall prepare thy way before thee. 
 
 28 For I say to you, Among those born 
 of women, there is no greater prophet than 
 John the Baptist: but the least in the king- 
 dom of God, is greater than he. 
 
 29 And all the people, hearing him, and 
 the publicans, Hjustified God, ""submitting 
 to the immersion of John. 
 
 30 But the Pharisees and lawyers ||set at 
 nought "the purpose of God with regard to 
 themselves, not being immersed by him. 
 
 31 °J|To what then shall I liken the men 
 of this generation ? and what are they like ? 
 
 32 They are like children sitting in the 
 market, and calling to each other, and 
 saying, We have piped for you, and ye 
 have not danced ; we have mourned for 
 you, and ye have not wept. 
 
 33 For p John the Baptist came neither 
 eating bread, nor drinking wine; and ye 
 say, He hath a demon._ 
 
 34 The Son of man is come eating and 
 drinking; and ye say, Behold a glutton, 
 and a wine-drinker, a friend of publicans 
 and sinners ! 
 
 35 'But Wisdom is justified by all her 
 children. 
 
 3Q ^f r And one of the Pharisees asked him 
 to eat with him. And he went into the 
 Pharisee's house, and reclined at table. 
 
 37 And behold, a woman in the city, who 
 was a sinner, learning that Jesus was at 
 table in the Pharisee's house, brought an 
 alabaster-box of ointment, 
 
 38 And standing at his feet behind him, 
 weeping, began to bathe his feet with tears ; 
 and she wiped them with the hair of her 
 head, and kissed his feet, and anointed 
 them with the ointment. 
 
 39 And the Pharisee who had bidden him, 
 seeing it, spoke within himself, saying, 
 'This man, if he were a prophet, would 
 know who, and what sort of woman this is 
 that toucheth him : for she is a sinner. 
 
 40 And Jesus answering, said to him, 
 Simon, I have something to say to thee. 
 And he saith, Teacher, speak. 
 
 41 A certain creditor had two debtors : 
 the one owed five hundred Hpence, and the 
 other fifty. 
 
 42 And they being unable to pay, he 
 freely gave it to them both. Tell me there- 
 fore, which of them will love him most ? 
 
 43 And Simon answering, said, I suppose 
 that he, to whom he gave most. And he 
 said to him, Thou hast judged rightly. 
 
 44 And turning to the woman, he said to 
 Simon, Seest tfiou this woman ? I came 
 into thine house; thou gavest me no water 
 for my feet : but she hath bathed my feet 
 with tears, and wiped them with the hair 
 of her head. 
 
The. parable of the sower. 
 
 45 Thou gavest me no kiss : but she, from 
 the time that I came in, hath not ceased to 
 kiss my feet. 
 
 46 'Thou didst not anoint my head with 
 oil : but she hath anointed my feet with 
 ointment. 
 
 47 "Wherefore, I say to thee, Her many 
 sins are forgiven ; for she loved much : but 
 to whom little is forgiven, he loveth little. 
 
 48 And he said to her, *Thy sins are for- 
 given. 
 
 49 And those who were at table with him, 
 began to say within themselves, "Who is 
 this who even forgiveth sins ? 
 
 50 And he said to the woman, 'Thy faith 
 hath saved thee ; go in peace. 
 
 CHAPTER VIII. 
 
 3 Women minister to Christ of their substance. 4 
 Christ, after he had preached from place to place, 
 attended with his apostles, propoundeth the parable 
 of the sower, 16 and of the lamp: 21 declareth 
 who are his mother, and brethren: 22 rebuketh the 
 winds: 26 casteth the legion of demons out of the 
 man into the herd of swhie: 37 is rejected by the 
 Gadarenes: 43 healeth the woman of her bloody 
 issue, 49 and raisethfrom death Jairus' daughter. 
 
 AND it came to pass afterward, that he 
 went through cities and villages, pro- 
 claiming the glad tidings of the kingdom of 
 God : and the twelve were with him, 
 
 2 And "certain women, who had been 
 healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary 
 called Magdalene, from whom had gone 
 out seven demons, 
 
 3 And Joanna, wife of Chuza, Herod's 
 steward, and Susanna, and many others, 
 who ministered to him from their posses- 
 sions. 
 
 4 % 'And a great multitude assembling, 
 and those from the cities coming to him, 
 he spoke by a parable : 
 
 5 The sower went out to sow his seed : 
 and as he sowed, some fell by the way- 
 side ; and it was trodden down, and the 
 birds of heaven devoured it. 
 
 6 And some fell on the rock ; and spring- 
 ing up, it withered for the want of mois- 
 ture. 
 
 7 And some fell among the thorns ; and 
 the thorns growing up with it, choked it. 
 
 8 And other fell on the good ground, and 
 springing up, bore fruit an hundred-fold. 
 Saying this, he cried, He that hath ears to 
 hear, let him hear ! 
 
 9 ''And his disciples asked him, saying, 
 What doth this parable mean ? 
 
 10 And he said, To you it is given to 
 know the secrets of the kingdom of God : 
 but to the rest / speak in parables ; that 
 seeing they may not see, and hearing they 
 may not understand. 
 
 11 'Now the parable is this: The seed is 
 the word of God. 
 
 12 Those by the way-side, are those who 
 hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh 
 away the word from their hearts, lest they 
 believe and be saved. 
 
 13 Those on the rock are they, who, when 
 they hear, receive the word with joy ; and 
 these have no root, who for a while believe, 
 and in time of trial fall away. 
 
 14 And that which fell among the thorns, 
 these are they who, having heard, go forth, 
 and are choked by cares, and riches, and 
 pleasures of life, and bear no mature fruit. 
 
 15 But that on the good ground are they 
 who, in a good and upright heart, hearing,

 bed ; but placeth it on a stand, that those 
 who enter may see the light.

 on account of the crowd. 
 
 20 And it was told him by some, who 
 said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand 
 without, desiring to see thee. 
 
 21 And he answered and said to them, 
 My mother and my brethren are those who 
 hear and do the word of God. 
 
 22 If 'And it happened on a certain day, 
 that he went into a ship with his disciples: 
 and he said to them, Let us go across the 
 lake. And they set sail. 
 
 23 But as they sailed, he fell asleep: and 
 there came down a storm of wind on the 
 lake; and they were filling with water, 
 and were in peril. 
 
 24 And they came up, and awoke him, 
 saying, Master, Master ! we perish ! And 
 he arose, and rebuked the wind, and the 
 raging of the water : and they ceased, and 
 there was a calm. 
 
 25 And he said to them, Where is your 
 faith ? And they, struck with fear, won- 
 dered, saying one to another, Who then 
 is this, that he commanded, even the winds 
 and water, and they obey him ? 
 
 26 1 "And they sailed to the country of 
 the Gadarenes, which is over against Ga- 
 lilee. 
 
 27 And as he went forth to land, a certain 
 man from the city met him, who had de- 
 mons for a long time, and wore no clothes, 
 nor remained in any house, but in the 
 tombs. 
 
 28 And seeing Jesus, he cried out, and 
 fell down before him, and said with a loud 
 voice, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, 
 Son of the Most High God ? I beseech 
 thee, torment me not. 
 
 29 (For he had commanded the unclean 
 spirit to come out of the man. For often 
 it had seized him : and he was bound with 
 chains and fetters, and guarded ; and burst- 
 ing the bands, he was driven by the demon 
 into the deserts.) 
 
 30 And Jesus asked him, saying, What 
 isthyname? And he said, Legion : because 
 many demons had entered into him. 
 
 31 And they besought him not to com- 
 mand them to go "into the abyss. 
 
 32 And there was there an nerd of many 
 swine feeding on the mountain : and they 
 entreated him to permit them to enter into 
 them. And he permitted them. 
 
 33 And the demons going out of the man, 
 entered into the swine: and the herd rush- 
 ed down the steep into the lake, and were 
 choked. 
 
 34 And those who fed them seeing what 
 was done, fled, and went and told it in the 
 city and in the country.

 happened ; and came to Jesus, and found 
 the man from whom the demons had gone 
 forth, sitting, clothed and in his right mind, 
 at the feet of Jesus : and they were afraid. 
 
 36 And those who saw it, told them how 
 the demoniac was healed. 
 
 37 If "Then the whole multitude of the 
 surrounding country of the Gadarenes 
 p asked him to depart from them ; for they 
 were struck with great fear. And he en 
 tered the ship and returned. 
 
 38 But «the man from whom the demons 
 had gone out, prayed that he might remain 
 with nim. But Jesus dismissed him, saying, 
 
 39 Return to thy house, and relate how 
 great things God hath done for thee. And 
 he went away and published through the 
 whole city, how great things Jesus had 
 done for him. 
 
 40 And it came to pass, when Jesus re- 
 turned, the people gladly received him : 
 for they were all waiting for him. 
 
 41 ^f r And behold, there came a man 
 named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the 
 synagogue: and falling at the feet of Jesus, 
 he entreated him to come into his house : 
 
 42 For he had an only daughter, about 
 twelve years of age, and she was dying. 
 But as he went, the multitude thronged 
 him. 
 
 43 ^f 'And a woman having an issue of 
 blood twelve years, who had spent all her 
 living upon physicians, and could be healed 
 by none, 
 
 44 Came behind him and touched the 
 fringe of his garment: and immediately 
 her issue of blood stopped. 
 
 45 And Jesus said, Who touched me? 
 And all denying, Peter, and those with 
 him, said, Master, the multitude throng 
 thee, and press thee, and sayest thou, 
 Who touched me? 
 
 46 And Jesus said, Some one touched 
 me : for I felt that 'power went forth from 
 me. 
 
 47 And the woman seeing that she was 
 not unknown, came trembling, fell down 
 before him, and declared to him before 
 all the people for what cause she had 
 touched him, and how she was healed 
 immediately. 
 
 48 And he said to her, Take courage, 
 daughter: thy faith hath healed thee; go 
 in peace. 
 
 49 ^f "While he was still speaking, there 
 cometh one from the ruler of the syna- 
 gogue's house, saying to him, Thy daugh- 
 ter is dead : trouble not the Teacher. 
 
 50 But Jesus hearing it, answered him, 
 saying, Fear not: only believe, and she 
 shall be restored. 
 
 51 And coming into the house, he suffered 
 no one to go in, except Peter, and James, 
 and John, and the father and the mother of 
 the maiden. 
 
 52 And they were all weeping and be- 
 wailing her. But he said, Weep not : she 
 is not dead, *but sleepeth. 
 
 53 And they laughed at him, knowing 
 that she was dead. 
 
 54 And he, putting them all out, took her 
 by the hand, and called, saying, Maiden, 
 "arise. 
 
 55 And her spirit returned, and she im- 
 mediately arose : and he directed to give 
 her food.

 Christ feedeth Jive thousand. 
 
 56 And her parents were astonished: but 
 'he charged them to tell no one what had 
 happened. 
 
 CHAPTER IX. 
 
 1 Christ sendeth his apostles to work miracles, and to 
 preach. 7 Herod desired to see Christ. 17 Christ 
 feedeth five thousand : 18 inquireth what opinion 
 the world had of him : foretelleth his suffering .- 
 23 proposeth to all the pattern of his patience. 
 28 The transfiguration. 37 He healeth the luna- 
 tic : 43 again forewarneth his disciples of his 
 suffering; 46 commendeth humility: 51 biddeth 
 them to shew mildness towards all, without desire 
 of revenge. 57 Divers would follow him, but upon 
 conditions. 
 
 AND "calling together his twelve disci- 
 ples, he gave them power and authority 
 over all the demons, and to heal diseases. 
 
 2 And 6 he sent them forth to proclaim 
 the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick. 
 
 3 c And he said to them, Take nothing for 
 your journey, neither staves, nor sack, 
 nor bread, nor money ; nor have two coats 
 apiece. 
 
 4 d And whatever house ye enter, there 
 remain, and thence go forth. 
 
 5 'And whoever do not receive you, when 
 ye go out of that city, 'shake off even the 
 dust from your feetlor a testimony against 
 them. 
 
 6 *And going forth, they went through 
 the villages, publishing the good news, and 
 healing every where. 
 
 7 1f 'And Herod the tetrarch heard of all 
 that was done by him : and he was per- 
 
 flexed, because it was said by some, that 
 ohn was risen from the dead ; 
 
 8 And by some, that Elijah had appeared ; 
 and by others, that one of the old prophets 
 had arisen. 
 
 9 And Herod said, John I beheaded; but 
 who is this of whom I hear such things ? 
 'And he sought to see him. 
 
 10 If *And the apostles returning, re- 
 counted to him all that they had done. 
 'And he took them, and retired privately 
 into a desert place, near the city called 
 Bethsaida. 
 
 11 And the people, when they knew it, 
 followed him : and receiving them, he 
 spoke to them concerning the kingdom of 
 God, and healed those who had need of 
 healing. 
 
 12 m But the day began to decline; and 
 the twelve coming up, said to him, Dis- 
 miss the multitude, that they may go into 
 the surrounding villages and country, to 
 lodge and get provisions : for we are here 
 in a desert place. 
 
 13 But he said to them, Do ye give them 
 to eat. And they said, We have not more 
 than five loaves and two fishes; unless we 
 go and buy food for all this people. 
 
 14 (For they were about five thousand 
 men.) And he said to his disciples, Let 
 them recline in companies of fifty. 
 
 15 And they did so, and made them all 
 recline. 
 
 16 And taking the five loaves, and the 
 two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and 
 blessed them; and he broke, and gave 
 them to the disciples to set before the 
 multitude. • 
 
 17 And they ate, and were all satisfied : 
 and there was taken up of fragments that 
 remained to them twelve baskets. 
 
 18 If "And it came to pass, as he was 
 
The transfiguration of Christ. 
 
 alone praying, his disciples were with 
 him; and he asked them, saying, Who 
 say the people that I am ? 
 
 19 They answering, said, "John the Bap 
 tist; and others, Elijah; and others, That 
 one of the old prophets is arisen. 
 
 20 He said to them, But who say ye that 
 I am f p Peter answering, said, The Christ 
 of God. 
 
 21 «And he strictly charged them, and 
 commanded them to tell this to no one, 
 
 22 Saying, 'The Son of man must suffer 
 much, and be rejected by the elders, and 
 chief priests, and scribes, and be slain, 
 and rise on the third day. 
 
 23 f 'And he said to them all, If any one 
 will come after me, let him deny himself, 
 and take up his cross daily, and tollow me. 
 
 24 For whoever will save his life, shall 
 lose it : and whoever shall lose his life for 
 my sake, he will save it. 
 
 25 'For what is a man benefited, if he 
 gain the whole world, and lose himself, or 
 be cast away ? 
 
 26 "For whoever is ashamed of me, and 
 of my words, of him will the Son of man 
 be ashamed, when he shall come in his 
 own glory, and that of his Father, and of 
 the holy angels. 
 
 27 *But I tell you truly, there are some 
 standing here who shall not taste of death 
 till they see the kingdom of God. 
 
 58 If "And it came to pass, about eight 
 days after these. [| words, he took Peter, and 
 John, and James, and went up into the 
 mountain to pray. 
 
 29 And as he prayed, the appearance of 
 his countenance was altered, and his rai- 
 ment became white and glistening. 
 
 30 And lo, two men were talking with 
 him, who were Moses and Elijah : 
 
 31 Who appearing in glory, spoke of his 
 departure which he was about to accom- 
 plish at Jerusalem. 
 
 32 But Peter and those with him z had 
 been oppressed with sleep : and awaking, 
 they saw his glory, and the two men who 
 stood with him. 
 
 33 And it came to pass, as they departed 
 from him, Peter said to Jesus, Master, it 
 is good for us to be here : and let us make 
 three tabernacles; one for thee, and one 
 for Moses, and one for Elijah : not know- 
 ing what he said. 
 
 34 While he said this, there came a cloud, 
 and overshadowed them : and they feared 
 as they entered into the cloud. 
 
 35 And there came a voice from the cloud, 
 saying, "This is my beloved Son: i hear 
 him. 
 
 36 And as the voice came, Jesus was 
 found alone. 'And they were silent, and 
 told no one in those days any thing of 
 what they had seen. 
 
 37 If d And it came to pass, that on the 
 next day, as they came down from the 
 mountain, a great multitude met him. 
 
 38 And lo, a man from the multitude 
 cried out, saying, Teacher, I beseech thee 
 look upon my son : for he is my only child. 
 
 39 And lo, a spirit taketh him, and he 
 suddenly crieth out ; and it rendeth 
 him, with foaming, and bruising him, 
 hardly departeth from him. 
 
 40 And I entreated thy disciples to cast 
 it out, and they could not.

 Christ foresheweth his sufferings. 
 
 41 And Jesus answering, said, O faith- 
 less and perverse generation ! how long 
 shall I be with you, and bear with your 
 Bring thy son hither. 
 
 42 And as he was yet coming, the demon 
 threw him down and rent him. And 
 Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and heal- 
 ed the child, and restored him to his father. 
 
 43 ^f And all were struck with astonish- 
 ment at the mighty power of God. But as 
 they were all wondering at every thing 
 which Jesus did, he said to his disciples, 
 
 44 'Receive these words into your ears : 
 the Son of man is about to be delivered 
 into the hands of men. 
 
 45 'But they understood not this lan- 
 guage, and it was hidden from them, so 
 that they did not comprehend it: and they 
 feared to ask him concerning these words. 
 
 46 If *And there arose a debate among 
 them, which of them should be greatest. 
 
 47 And Jesus perceiving the thought of 
 their heart, took a child, and set him by 
 him, 
 
 48 And said to them, *Whoever receiveth 
 this child in my name, receiveth me ; and 
 whoever receiveth me, receiveth him who 
 sent me: 'for he that is least among you 
 all, he will be great. 
 
 49 If "And John answering, said, Master, 
 we saw one casting out demons in thy 
 name; and we forbade him, because he 
 followeth not with us. 
 
 50 And Jesus said to him, Forbid him 
 not: for 'he who is not against us, is 
 for us. 
 
 51 ^f And it came to pass, as the time of 
 m his ascension was approaching, he stead- 
 fastly set his face to go to Jerusalem. 
 
 52 And he sent messengers before him, 
 who went and entered into a village of the 
 Samaritans, to make ready for him. 
 
 53 And "they did not receive him, because 
 his face was turned toward Jerusalem. 
 
 54 And his disciples, James and John, 
 seeing it, said, Lord, wilt thou that we bid 
 fire to descend from heaven, and consume 
 them, as "Elijah did? 
 
 55 But he turned, and rebuked them, 
 saying, Ye know not of what spirit ye are. 
 
 56 For p the Son of man came not to de- 
 stroy men's lives, but to save them. And 
 they went to another village. 
 
 57 1f 9 And it happened, as they were going 
 on the way, a certain man said to him, 
 Lord, I will follow thee wherever thou 
 goest. 
 
 58 And Jesus said to him, The foxes have 
 holes, and the birds of heaven dwelling- 
 places, but the Son of man hath not where 
 to lay his head. 
 
 59 'And he said to another, Follow me. 
 But he said, Lord, permit me first to go 
 and bury my father. 
 
 60 Jesus said to him, Let the dead bury 
 their own dead : but do thou go and an- 
 nounce the kingdom of God. 
 
 61 And another also said, Lord, 'I will 
 follow thee; but first permit me to take 
 leave of my family. 
 
 62 And Jesus said to him, No one who 
 putteth his hand to the plough, and looketh 
 back, is fit for the kingdom of God. 
 
 CHAPTER X. 
 
 1 Christ sendeth out at once seve?ity disciples to work 
 miracles, and to preach: 17 admonisheth than to be 
 
 51 
 
The seventy disciples sent forth. 
 
 humble, and wlierein to rejoice: 21 thanketh his Fa- 
 ther for his grace: 23 magnifieth the happy estate 
 of his church: 25 teacheth the lawyer how to attain 
 eternal life, and to lake every one for his neigh- 
 hour that needeth his mercy: 4*1 reprehendeth Mar 
 tha, and commendelh Mary her sister. 
 
 AFTER this, the Lord appointed also 
 seventy others, and "sent them before 
 him, two by two, into every city, and place, 
 where he himself was about to come. 
 
 2 He said then to them, 'The harvest in- 
 deed is great, but the labourers are few : 
 'pray therefore the Lord of the harvest, to 
 send forth labourers into his harvest. 
 
 3 Go ; d behold, I send you forth as lambs 
 among wolves. 
 
 4 'Carry neither purse, nor sack, nor 
 shoes : and 'salute no one by the way. 
 
 5 fAnd whatever house ye enter, first 
 say, Peace be to this house. 
 
 6 And if a son of peace be there, your 
 peace will rest upon him: if not, it will 
 return to you. 
 
 7 \And in the same house remain, 'eating 
 and drinking what they give : for "the la- 
 bourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from 
 house to house. 
 
 8 And whatever city ye enter, and they 
 receive you, eat what is set before you, 
 
 9 'And heal the sick in it, and say to them, 
 "The kingdom of God is come near you. 
 
 10 But whatever city ye enter, and they 
 receive you not, go out into the streets of 
 it, and say, 
 
 11 "Even the dust of your city which 
 cleaveth to us, we wipe off against you : 
 yet know this, that the kingdom of God is 
 come near you. 
 
 12 I say to you, That "it will be more 
 tolerable in that day for Sodom than for 
 that city. 
 
 13 ?Wo to thee, Chorazin! wo to thee, 
 Bethsaida ! 'for if the mighty works had 
 been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have 
 been done in you, they would long ago 
 have repented, sitting in sackcloth and 
 ashes. 
 
 14 But it will be more tolerable for Tyre 
 and Sidon at the judgment, than for you. 
 
 15 'And thou, Capernaum, that art 'ex- 
 alted to heaven, 'wilt be brought down to 
 llhell. 
 
 16 "He that heareth you, heareth me; 
 and *he that rejecteth you, rejecteth me; 
 *and he that rejecteth me, rejecteth him 
 who sent me. 
 
 17 ^f And z the seventy returned with joy, 
 saying, Lord, even the demons are subject 
 to us, through thy name ! 
 
 18 And he said to them, °I beheld Satan 
 as lightning fall from heaven. 
 
 19 Behold, *I give to you power to tread 
 on serpents and scorpions, and over all the 
 might of the enemy: and nothing shall by 
 any means hurt you. 
 
 20 Yet, in this rejoice not, that the spirits 
 are subject to you ; but rather rejoice that 
 ■your names are written in heaven. 
 
 21 fin that hour Jesus exulted in spirit, 
 and said, I thank thee, Father, Lord of 
 heaven and earth, that thou hast hidden 
 these things from the wise and intelligent, 
 and hast revealed them to babes: even so, 
 Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight. 
 
 22 e || All things are delivered to me by 
 my Father: and'nooneknoweth who the 
 Son is, but the Father; and who the Fa-

 The parable of the good Samaritan. 
 
 ther is, but the Son, and he to whom the 
 Son will reveal him. 
 
 23 If And turning to his disciples, he said 
 privately, 'Happy the eyes which see the 
 things that ye see ! 
 
 24 For I tell you, "That many prophets 
 and kings have desired to see what ye see, 
 and have not seen it ; and to hear what ye 
 hear, and have not heard it. 
 
 25 If And behold, a certain lawyer arose, 
 and, trying him, said, 'Teacher, what shall 
 I do to inherit eternal life ? 
 
 26 He said to him, What is written in the 
 law ? how readest thou ? 
 
 '2J And he answering, said, l Thou shalt 
 love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, 
 and with all thy soul, and with all thy 
 strength, and with all thy mind; and 'thy 
 neighbour as thyself. 
 
 28 And he said to him, Thou hast an- 
 swered rightly: this do, and m thou shalt 
 live. 
 
 29 But he, wishing to "justify himself, 
 said to Jesus, And who is my neighbour? 
 
 30 And Jesus answering, said, A certain 
 man was going down from Jerusalem to Je- 
 richo, and fell among robbers, who having 
 stripped and beaten him, went off, leaving 
 him half dead. 
 
 31 And by chance a certain priest was 
 going down that way ; and seeing him, "he 
 passed by on the other side. 
 
 32 And so also a Levite, being at the 
 place, came and saw him, and passed by 
 on the other side. 
 
 33 But a certain ''Samaritan, as he jour- 
 neyed, came where he was : and when he 
 saw him, he had compassion, 
 
 34 And came, and bound up his wounds, 
 pouring in oil and wine ; and setting him 
 on his own beast, brought him to an inn, 
 and took care of him. 
 
 35 And on the morrow, when he depart- 
 ed, he took out two Upence, and gave them 
 to the host, and said to him, Take care of 
 him : and whatever thou spendest more, 
 when I come again, I will repay thee. 
 
 36 Which now of these three, thinkest 
 thou, was neighbour to him who fell among 
 the robbers? 
 
 37 And he said, He who took pity on 
 him. And Jesus said to him, Go, and do 
 thou in like manner. 
 
 38 If And it came to pass, as they went, 
 that he entered into a certain village: and 
 a certain woman, named "Martha, receiv- 
 ed him into her house. 
 
 39 And she had a sister called Mary, 
 r who 'sat at the feet of Jesus, and heard 
 his word. 
 
 40 But Martha was harassed about much 
 serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, 
 carest thou not that my sister hath left me 
 to serve alone ? bid her therefore that she 
 help me. 
 
 41 And Jesus answering, said to her, 
 Martha, Martha, thou art anxious, and 
 troubled about many things: 
 
 42 But 'one thing is needful ; and Mary 
 hath chosen the good part, which will not 
 be taken away ftpm her. 
 
 CHAPTER XL 
 
 1 Christ teacheth to pray, and that earnestly: 11 as- 
 suring that God will so give us good things. 14 
 He, casting out a dumb demon, rebuketh the blas- 
 phemous Pharisees: 28 and sheweth who are happy: 
 
A 
 
 Christ teacheth how to pray. 
 
 29 preacheth to the people, 37 and reprehendeth the 
 outward shew of holiness in the Pharisees, scribes, 
 and lawyers. 
 
 ND it came to pass, that as he was 
 praying in a certain place, when he 
 ceased, one of his disciples said to him, 
 Lord, teach us to pray, as also John taught 
 his disciples. 
 
 2 And he said to them, When ye pray, 
 say, "Our Father who art in heaven, Hal- 
 lowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. 
 Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. 
 
 3 Give us |]day by day our daily bread. 
 
 4 And forgive us our sins; for we also 
 Forgive every one who is indebted to us. 
 And lead us not into trial ; but de- 
 liver us from evil. 
 
 5 And he said to them, Who of you shall 
 have a friend, and shall go to him at mid- 
 night, and say to him, Friend, lend me 
 three loaves : 
 
 6 For a friend of mine hath come to me 
 from a journey, and I have nothing to set 
 before him ? 
 
 7 And he from within shall answer and 
 say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, 
 and my children are with me in bed ; I 
 cannot rise and give thee. 
 
 8 I say to you, 'Even though he will not 
 rise and give him, because he is his friend, 
 yet at least on account of his importunity 
 ne will rise and give him whatever he 
 needeth. 
 
 9 "And I say to you, Ask, and it shall be 
 given you ; seek, and ye shall find; knock, 
 and it shall be opened to you. 
 
 10 For every one that asketh, receiveth ; 
 and that seeketh, findeth; and thatknock- 
 eth, to him it shall be opened. 
 
 11 d And what father among you, if his 
 son shall ask bread, will give him a stone ? 
 or if he ask a fish, will instead of a fish 
 give him a serpent ? 
 
 12 Or if he ask an egg, will give him a 
 scorpion ? 
 
 13 If then ye, being evil, know how to 
 give good gifts to your children : how much 
 more will your heavenly Father give the 
 Holy Spirit to those who ask him ! 
 
 14 |fl "And he was casting out a demon, 
 and it was dumb. And it came to pass, 
 that when the demon was gone out, the 
 dumb man spoke; and the people won- 
 dered. 
 
 15 But some of them said, 'He casteth 
 out demons by tBeelzebub, prince of the 
 demons. 
 
 16 And others trying him, ^sought of him 
 a sign from heaven. 
 
 17 *But 'lie, knowing their thoughts, said 
 to them, Every kingdom divided against 
 itself, is brought to desolation ; and a house 
 divided against a house, falleth. 
 
 18 And if Satan also is divided against 
 himself, how will his kingdom stand ? for 
 ye say that I cast out demons by Beel- 
 zebub. 
 
 19 And if I by Beelzebub cast out de- 
 mons, by whom do your sons cast them 
 out? therefore they shall be your judges. 
 
 20 But if I *by the finger of God cast out 
 demons, then the kingdom of God is come 
 to you. - 
 
 21 'When the strong man, being armed, 
 guardeth his palace, nis possessions are 
 secure :

 The Pharisees, fyc., reproved. 
 
 22 But m when a stronger than he attacketh 
 and overcometh him, he taketh from him 
 his armour in which he trusted, and dis- 
 tributeth his spoils. 
 
 23 n He that is not with me is against me : 
 and he that gathereth not with me scat- 
 tered!. 
 
 24 "When the unclean spirit is gone out of 
 the man, itgoeth through dry places, seek- 
 ing rest : and finding none, it saith, I will 
 return to my house whence I came out ; 
 
 25 And coming, findeth it swept and fur- 
 nished. 
 
 26 Then it goeth, and taketh seven other 
 spirits more wicked than itself; and they 
 enter in, and dwell there: and p the last 
 state of that man is worse than the first. 
 
 27 If And it happened, as he was saying 
 this, a certain woman from the crowd, 
 raising her voice, said to him, «Happy the 
 womb that bore thee, and the breasts which 
 thou hast sucked ! 
 
 28 But he said, Yea "indeed, happy are 
 they who hear the word of God, and keep it. 
 
 29 If 'And the multitude crowding round 
 him, he began to say, This is an evil gene- 
 ration : they seek a sign ; and there shall 
 no sign be given them, but the sign of the 
 prophet Jonah. 
 
 30 For as 'Jonah was a sign to the Nine- 
 vites, so will also the Son of man be to 
 this generation. 
 
 31 "The queen of the south will arise in 
 the judgment with the men of this gene- 
 ration, and condemn them : for she came 
 from the extremities of the earth, to hear 
 the wisdom of Solomon ; and lo, here is a 
 greater than Solomon. 
 
 32 The men of Nineveh will arise in the 
 judgment with this generation, and con- 
 demn it: for *they repented at the warning 
 of Jonah ; and lo, here is a greater than 
 Jonah. 
 
 33 "No one lighting a lamp, putteth it in 
 a secret place, nor under the llmeasure, 
 but on the stand, that those who come in 
 may see the light. 
 
 34 "The||lightof the body is the eye: when 
 therefore thine eye is sound, thy whole 
 body also is enlightened ; but when it is 
 diseased, thy body also is dark. 
 
 35 Take heed, then, that the light which 
 is in thee be not darkness. 
 
 36 If thy whole body therefore is en- 
 lightened, having no part dark, the whole 
 will be enlightened, as when tthe bright 
 shining of a Tamp giveth thee light. 
 
 37 If And as he spoke, a certain Pharisee 
 asked him to dine with him : and he went 
 in and reclined at table. 
 
 38 And "the Pharisee seeing it, wondered 
 that he did not bathe himself before dinner. 
 
 39 'And the Lord said to him, Now ye 
 Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup 
 and the platter; but 'your inward part is 
 full of rapine and wickedness. 
 
 40 Fools ! did not he who made the out- 
 side, make also the inside ? 
 
 41 d But give || what is within them as alms, 
 and behold, all is clean to you. 
 
 42 'But wo to you, Pharisees ! for ye tithe 
 mint, and rue, and every herb, and neglect 
 justice and the love of God: This ye 
 ought to have done, and not have left the 
 other undone. 
 
 43 'Wo to you, Pharisees! for ye love 
 
 JO 
 
Christ teachelh to avoid hypocrisy. 
 
 the first seats in the synagogues, and sa- 
 lutations in the markets. 
 
 44 «Wo to you, scribes and Pharisees, 
 hypocrites ! "tor ye are like unseen sepul- 
 chres, over which men walk and know it 
 not! 
 
 45 If And one of the lawyers, answering, 
 saith to him, Teacher, thus saying, thou 
 reproachest us also. 
 
 46 And he said, And wo to you, lawyers ! 
 'for ye load men with intolerable burdens, 
 and yourselves will not touch the burdens 
 with one of your fingers. 
 
 47 *Wo to you ! for ye build the sepul- 
 chres of the prophets, and your fathers 
 slew them. 
 
 48 So then ye attest and approve the 
 deeds of your fathers: for they slew them, 
 and ye build their sepulchres. 
 
 49 Therefore also said the wisdom of 
 God, l I will send them prophets and apos- 
 tles, and these they will slay and perse- 
 cute: 
 
 50 That the blood of all the prophets, 
 which was shed from the foundation of the 
 world, may be required of this generation; 
 
 51 m From the blood of Abel to "the blood 
 of Zachariah, who perished between the 
 altar and the temple: verily, I say to you, 
 It will be required of this generation. 
 
 52 "Wo to you, lawyers ! for ye have 
 taken away the key of knowledge: ye 
 enter not yourselves, and those who are 
 entering ye ||hinder. 
 
 53 And as he said these things to them, 
 the scribes and the Pharisees began to be 
 greatly embittered toward him, and to 
 press him with many questions ; 
 
 54 Laying snares for him, and p seeking 
 to catch something from his mouth, that 
 they might accuse him. 
 
 CHAPTER XII. 
 
 1 Christ preacheth to his disciples to avoid hypo- 
 crisy, and fearfulness in publishing his doctrine : 
 1 3 warneth the people to beware of covetousness, 
 by the parable of the rich man who set up greater 
 oarns. 22 We must not be over careful of earthly 
 things, 31 but seek the kingdom of God, 33 give alms, 
 36 be ready at a knock to open to our Lord when- 
 ever he cometh. 41 Christ's ministers are to see to 
 their charge, 49 and look for persecution. 54 The 
 people must take this time of grace, 5S because it 
 is a fearful thing to die without reconciliation. 
 
 "TX/TEANWHILE the people having as- 
 -lVX sembled by thousands, so that they 
 trod on one another, he began to say to 
 his disciples first of all, 'Beware of the 
 leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypo- 
 crisy. 
 
 2 'For there is nothing covered, that shall 
 not be revealed; nor hidden, that shall 
 not be known. 
 
 3 Therefore, what ye have said in dark- 
 ness, will be heard in the light ; and what 
 ye have spoken in the ear in closets, will 
 be proclaimed on the house-tops. 
 
 4 d And I say to you, e my friends, Fear 
 not those who kill the body, and after that, 
 can do no more. 
 
 5 But I will warn you whom to fear: Fear 
 him who, after he hath killed, hath power 
 to cast into hell ; yea, I say to you, Fear 
 him !

 11 *And when they bring you before the 
 synagogues, and magistrates, and powers, 
 be not anxious how or what ye shall say 
 in your defence: 
 
 12 For the Holy Spirit will teach you at 
 that hour what ye ought to say. 
 
 13 If And one of the multitude said to 
 him, Teacher, bid my brother divide with 
 me the inheritance. 
 
 14 And he said to him, 'Man, who made 
 me a judge, or a divider over you ? 
 
 15 And he said to them, Take heed, and 
 beware of covetousness : for a man's life 
 consisteth not in the abundance of his 
 possessions. 
 
 16 And he spoke a parable to them, say- 
 ing, The ground of a certain rich man 
 yielded plentifully : 
 
 17 And he thought within himself, saying, 
 What shall I do, for I know not where I 
 shall store my fruits ? 
 
 18 And he said, I will do this: I will pull 
 down my barns, and build greater; and 
 there I will store all my fruits and my 
 goods. 
 
 19 And I will say to my soul, 'Soul, thou 
 hast abundant goods laid up for many 
 years ; rest, eat, drink, be merry. 
 
 20 But God said to him, Fool ! this night 
 || m thy soul is required of thee: "and who 
 shall have what thou hast provided ? 
 
 21 Thus is he who gathereth treasure 
 for himself, "and is not rich towards God. 
 
 22 Tf And he said to his disciples, There- 
 fore I say to you, p Be not anxious for your 
 life, what ye shall eat ; nor for your body, 
 how ye shall be clothed. 
 
 23 The life is more than food, and the 
 body than clothing. 
 
 24 Observe the ravens. They neither 
 sow nor reap: they have neither store- 
 house, nor barn ; and 'God feedeth them. 
 How much better are ye than the birds ! 
 
 25 And who of you, by being anxious, 
 can add ||a span to his life ? 
 
 26 If then ye cannot do even the least, 
 why are ye anxious about the rest ? 
 
 27 Observe the lilies how they grow. 
 They toil not, they spin not; yet I say to 
 you, that even Solomon in all his glory was 
 not arrayed like one of these. 
 
 28 If then God so clothes the grass in the 
 field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is 
 cast into the oven; how much more will 
 he clothe you, ye of little faith ! 
 
 29 And seek ye not what ye shall eat, or 
 what ye shall drink, ||and be not of doubt- 
 ful mind. 
 
 30 For after alj-these things do the na- 
 tions of the world seek : and your Father 
 knoweth that ye need these things. 
 
 31 If r But seek the kingdom of God, and 
 all these things will be added to you. 
 
 32 Fear not, little flock ; for "it is your 
 
Tlie duty of Christ's ministers. 
 
 Father's good pleasure to give you the 
 kingdom. 
 
 33 'Sell your possessions, and give alms: 
 "provide yourselves purses which grow not 
 old, an unfailing treasure in the heavens, 
 where no thief approacheth, nor moth cor- 
 rupted. 
 
 34 For where your treasure is, there will 
 your heart be also. 
 
 35 *Let your loins be girded about, and 
 "your lights burning; 
 
 36 And ye like men waiting for their 
 lord, when he will return from the wed- 
 ding ; that, when he cometh and knocketh, 
 they may immediately open to him. 
 
 37 *Happy those servants, whom their 
 lord when he cometh shall find watching ! 
 Verily, I say to you, that he will gird him- 
 self, and make them to recline at table, 
 and will come and serve them. 
 
 38 And if he come in the second watch, 
 or come in the third watch, and find them 
 so, happy are those servants. 
 
 39 "But know this, that if the master of 
 the house had known at what hour the 
 thief would come, he would have watched, 
 and not have suffered his house to be broken 
 through. 
 
 40 'Be ye therefore ready: for the Son 
 of man cometh at an hour when ye think 
 not. 
 
 41 If Then Peter said to him, Lord, 
 speakest thou this parable to us, or also 
 to all ? 
 
 42 And the Lord said, e Who then is the 
 faithful and prudent steward, whom his 
 lord will set over his household, to give 
 them their portion of food at the season ? 
 
 43 Happy is that servant, whom his lord 
 when he cometh shall find so doing. 
 
 44 d Truly I say to you, that he will set 
 him over all his possessions. 
 
 45 'But if that servant say in his heart, 
 My lord delayeth his coming; and begin 
 to beat the men-servants, and maidens, and 
 to eat and drink, and be drunken ; 
 
 46 The lord of that servant will come in 
 a day when he looketh not for him, and at 
 an hour that he is not aware of, and will 
 ||cut him asunder, and will appoint him his 
 portion with the unfaithful. 
 
 47 And J" that servant who knew his lord's 
 will, and prepared not himself, nor did 
 according to his will, will receive many 
 stripes. 
 
 48 e But he that knew not, and did things 
 worthy of stripes, will receive few stripes. 
 For to whomsoever much is given, of him 
 much will be required ; and to whom men 
 have committed much, of him they will 
 ask the more.

 52 m For henceforth there will be five in 
 one house divided, three against two, and

 CHAPTER XIII. 
 
 1 Christ preacheth repentance upon the punishment 
 of the Galileans, and others. 6 The fruitless fig- 
 tree may not stand. 1 1 He healeth the crooked wo- 
 man: 18 sheweth the powerful working of the word 
 in the hearts of his chosen, by the parable of the 
 grain of mustard-seed, and of leaven: 24 exhorteth 
 to enter in at the strait gate, 31 and reproveth 
 Herod and Jerusalem. 
 
 THERE were present at that season 
 some who reported to him concerning 
 the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had 
 mingled with their sacrifices. 
 
 2 And Jesus answering, said to them, 
 Think ye that these Galileans were sin- 
 ners above all the Galileans, because they 
 suffered such things ? 
 
 3 I tell you, Nay; but unless ye repent, 
 ye will all in like manner perish. 
 
 4 Or those eighteen, on whom the tower 
 in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye 
 that they were |]sinners above all men who 
 dwelt in Jerusalem ? 
 
 5 I tell you, Nay; but unless ye repent, 
 ye will all in like manner perish. 
 
 6 If And he spoke this parable : °A cer- 
 tain man had a fig-tree planted in his vine- 
 yard ; and he came seeking fruit on it, and 
 found none. 
 
 7 And he said to the vine-dresser, Be- 
 hold, three years I come seeking fruit on 
 this fig-tree, and find none : cut it down ; 
 why doth it also encumber the ground ? 
 
 8 And he answering, said to him, Lord, 
 let it alone this year also, till I shall dig 
 about it, and dung it : 
 
 9 And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, 
 afterward thou shalt cut it down. 
 
 10 If And he was teaching in one of the 
 synagogues on the Sabbath. 
 
 11 And lo, there was a woman who had 
 a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and 
 was bent together, and could not raise 
 herself. 
 
 12 And Jesus seeing her, called her to 
 him, and said to her, Woman, thou art 
 released from thine infirmity. 
 
 13 'And he laid his hands on her: and 
 she immediately stood erect, and glorified 
 God. 
 
 14 And the ruler of the synagogue being 
 indignant that Jesus had healed on the 
 Sabbath, answering, said to the people, 
 'There are six days in which we should 
 
 55 
 
Who shall be saved. 
 
 work. : in these then come and be healed, 
 and *not on the Sabbath. 
 
 15 The Lord then answered him, and 
 said, Hypocrite ! "doth not each of you on 
 the Sabbath loose his ox or his ass from 
 the stall, and lead him away to drink? 
 
 16 And ought not this woman, J"being a 
 daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath 
 bound, lo, these eighteen years, to beloosed 
 from this bond on the Sabbath ? 
 
 17 And as he said this, all his opposers 
 were ashamed : and all the multitude re- 
 joiced at all the glorious things that were 
 done by him. 
 
 18 *\ 'And he said. What is the kingdom 
 of God like ? and to what shall I liken it? 
 
 19 It is like a grain of mustard-seed, 
 which a man took, and threw into his gar- 
 den, and it grew, and became a great tree ; 
 and the birds of heaven lodged in its 
 branches. 
 
 20 And again he said, To what shall I 
 liken the kingdom of God ? 
 
 21 It is like leaven, which a woman took 
 and hid in three ||measures of meal, till the 
 whole was leavened. 
 
 22 "And he was passing through cities 
 and villages, teaching, and making his 
 journey toward Jerusalem. 
 
 23 f And some one said to him, Lord, are 
 there few who are saved ? And he said to 
 them, 
 
 24 *Strive to enter through the strait gate : 
 for 'many, I say to you, will seek to enter, 
 and will not be able. 
 
 25 m When once the Master of the house 
 hath arisen, and "shut the door, and ye 
 begin to stand without, and to knock at 
 the door, saying, "Lord, Lord, open to us ; 
 he will answer and say to you, P I know 
 you not whence ye are. 
 
 26 Then ye will begin to say, We ate 
 and drank in thy presence, and thou 
 taughtest in our streets. 
 
 27 «But he will say, I tell you, I know 
 you not whence ye are ; 'depart from me, 
 all ye workers of unrighteousness. 
 
 28 'There will be weeping and gnashing 
 of teeth, 'when ye shall see Abraham, and 
 Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in 
 the kingdom of God, and yourselves thrust 
 out. 
 
 29 And they will come from the east and 
 west, and from the north and south, and 
 will recline at table in the kingdom of 
 God. 
 
 SO "And behold, there are last, who will 
 be first ; and there are first, who will be 
 last. 
 
 31 ^ On that day there came certain Pha- 
 risees, saying to him, Go forth, and depart 
 hence ; for Herod wisheth to kill thee. 
 
 32 And he said to them, Go and tell that 
 fox, Behold, I cast out demons, and per- 
 form cures to-day and to-morrow, and on 
 the third day my work is finished. 
 
 33 Yet, I must go on to-day and to-mor- 
 row, and the day following : for it may not 
 be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem. 
 
 34 "Jerusalem ! Jerusalem! that killest the 
 prophets, and stonest those who are sent 
 to thee ; how often would I have gathered 
 thy children, as a hen gathereth her brood 
 under her wings, and ye would not ! 
 
 35 Behold, "your house is left to you de- 
 solate. And verily, I say to you, Ye shall

 CHAPTER XIV. 
 
 2 Christ healeth the dropsy on the Sabbath: 7 teach- 
 eth humility: 12 to feast the poor : 15 under the 
 parable of the great supper, sheweth how worldly 
 minded men, who contemn the word of God, shall 
 be shut out of heaven. 25 Those who will be his 
 disciples, to bear their cross must make their, ac- 
 counts aforehand, lest with shame they revolt from 
 him afterward, 34 and become altogether unprofit- 
 able, like salt that hath lost its savour. 
 
 A ND it came to pass, as he went into 
 -£*■ the house of one of the rulers of the 
 Pharisees to eat bread on the Sabbath, that 
 they watched him. 
 
 2 And behold, there was a certain man 
 before him, who had the dropsy. 
 
 3 And Jesus answering, spoke to the law- 
 yers and Pharisees, saying, °Is it lawful to 
 heal on the Sabbath ? 
 
 4 And they were silent. And taking hold 
 of him, he healed and dismissed him. 
 
 5 And he answered them, saying, *Who 
 of you, if his ass or ox fall into a pit, will 
 not immediately pull him out on the Sab- 
 bath? 
 
 6 And they could not answer him to 
 this. 
 
 7 If And he spoke a parable to the guests, 
 observing how they chose out the first seats ; 
 saying to them, 
 
 8 When thou art invited by any one to a 
 marriage-feast, do not recline on the first 
 seat, lest a more honourable man than 
 thou have been invited by him ; 
 
 9 And he who invited thee and him come 
 and say to thee, Give this man place; and 
 thou begin with shame to take the lowest 
 place. 
 
 10 "But when thou art invited, go and 
 recline in the lowest place ; that when he 
 who invited thee cometh, he may say to 
 thee, Friend, go up higher: then thou wilt 
 have honour in the presence of the guests. 
 
 11 "Tor every one that exalteth himself 
 will be humbled, and that humbleth him- 
 self will be exalted. 
 
 12 If And he said also to him who had 
 invited him, When thou makest a dinner 
 or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy 
 brethren, nor thy kinsmen, nor thy rich 
 neighbours ; lest they also invite thee in 
 return, and a recompense be made thee. 
 
 13 But when thou makest a feast, call 
 'the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind ; 
 
 14 And thou wilt be happy: for they 
 cannot recompense thee : for thou wilt be 
 recompensed at the resurrection of the 
 just. 
 
 15 If And one of the guests hearing this, 
 said to him, f Happy he who shall eat bread 
 in the kingdom of God ! 
 
 16 e And he said to him, A certain man 
 made a great supper, and invited many : 
 
 17 And *sent his servant at supper-time, 
 to say to those who were invited, Come, 
 for all is now ready. 
 
 18 And they all with one consent began 
 to excuse themselves. The first said to 
 him, I have bought a field, and must go 
 and see it : I pray thee have me excused. 
 
 19 And another said, I have bought five 
 yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them : I 
 pray thee have me excused. 
 
The parable of the lost sheep, 
 
 20 And another said, I have married a 
 wife : and therefore I cannot come. 
 
 21 So that servant came, and reported 
 this to his lord. Then the master of the 
 house being angry, said to his servant, Go 
 out quickly into the streets and lanes of 
 the city, and bring in hither the poor and 
 maimed and lame and blind. 
 
 22 And the servant said, Sir, it is done 
 as thou hast commanded, and yet there is 
 room. 
 
 23 And his lord said to the servant, Go 
 out into the highways and hedges, and 
 compel them to come in, that my house 
 may be filled. 
 
 24 For I say to you, 'that none of those 
 men who have been invited, shall taste of 
 my supper. 
 
 25 ^f And great multitudes accompanied 
 him : and he turned, and said to them, 
 
 26 *If any one come to me, 'and hate not 
 his father, and mother, and wife, and 
 children, and brethren, and sisters, ™and 
 further, even his own life, he cannot be 
 my disciple. 
 
 27 And "whoever doth not bear his cross, 
 and come after me, cannot be my disciple. 
 
 28 For "who of you wishing to build a 
 tower, doth not first sit down and count 
 the cost, whether he have enough to finish it ? 
 
 29 Lest perchance, after he hath laid the 
 foundation, and is not able to finish it, all 
 who behold it begin to deride him, 
 
 30 Saying, This man began to build, and 
 was not able to finish. 
 
 31 Or what king going to engage in battle 
 with another king, doth not first sit down 
 and consult whether he is able with ten 
 thousand to meet him who is coming against 
 him with twenty thousand ? 
 
 32 Else, while the other is yet at a dis- 
 tance, he sendeth an. embassy, and desireth 
 conditions of peace. 
 
 S3 So likewise, no one of you who forsak- 
 eth not all that he hath, can be my dis- 
 ciple. 
 
 _ 34 If p Salt is good : but if the salt become 
 insipid, with what shall it be seasoned ? 
 
 35 It is fit neither for the land, nor for 
 the dunghill. They cast it out. He that 
 hath ears to hear, let him hear ! 
 CHAPTER XV. 
 
 1 The parable of the lost sheep : 8 of the piece of sil- 
 ver: 11 of the prodigal son. 
 
 AND "all the publicans and sinners were 
 coming near to hear him. 
 
 2 And the Pharisees and scribes murmur- 
 ed, saying, This man receiveth sinners, 
 'and eateth with them. 
 
 3 J[ And he spoke to them this parable, 
 saying, 
 
 4 'What man of you having a hundred 
 sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not 
 leave the ninety-nine in the desert, and 
 go after that which is lost, until he find 
 it? 
 
 5 And having found it, he layeth it on 
 his shoulders, rejoicing. 
 
 6 And coining home, he calleth together 
 his friends and neighbours, saying to them, 
 Rejoice with me; for I have found my lost 
 * sheep! 
 
 7 I say to you, that thus there will be joy 
 In heaven over one sinner that repenteth, 
 •more than over ninety-nine just persons 
 who need no repentance.

 9 And having found it, she calleth to-

 Rejoice with me; for I have found the 
 piece which I lost! 
 
 10 Thus, I say to you, There is joy in 
 the presence of the angels of God over one 
 sinner that repenteth. 
 
 11 f And he said, A certain man had 
 two sons : 
 
 12 And the younger of them said to his 
 father, Father, give me the portion of pro- 
 perty that falleth to me. And he divided 
 to them 'his living. 
 
 13 And not many days after, the younger 
 son gathering all together, went away into 
 a distant country, and there wasted his 
 property in riotous living. 
 
 14 And he having spent all, there arose a 
 severe famine in that land ; and he began 
 to be in want. 
 
 15 And he went and joined a citizen of 
 that country; and he sent him into his 
 fields to feed swine. 
 
 16 And he would fain have filled his belly 
 with the [|pods which the swine ate ; and 
 no one gave to him. 
 
 17 And coming to himself, he said, How 
 many hired servants of my father's abound 
 in bread, and I perish with hunger ! 
 
 18 I will arise and go to my father, and 
 will say to him, Father, I have sinned 
 against heaven, and before thee, 
 
 19 And am no longer worthy to be called 
 thy son : make me as one of thy hired 
 servants. 
 
 20 And he arose, and came to his father. 
 But ff while he was still afar off", his father 
 saw him, and had compassion ; and he ran, 
 and fell on his neck, and kissed him. 
 
 21 And the son said to him, Father, I 
 have sinned against Heaven, 'and in thy 
 sight, and am no longer worthy to be called 
 thy son. 
 
 22 But the father said to his servants, 
 Bring forth the best robe, and put it on 
 him ; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes 
 on his feet : 
 
 23 And bring the fatted calf, and kill it ; 
 and let us 'eat, and be merry : 
 
 24 "For this my son was dead, and is 
 alive again ; he was lost, and is found. 
 And they began to be merry. _ 
 
 25 Now his elder son was in the field : 
 and as he came and drew near the house, 
 he heard music and dancing. 
 
 26 And calling one of the servants, he 
 asked what this meant. 
 
 27 And he said to him, Thy brother is 
 come ; and thy father hath killed the fatted 
 calf, because he hath received him safe 
 and sound. 
 
 28 And he was angry, and would not go 
 in ; therefore his father came out, and en- 
 treated him. 
 
 29 And he answering, said to his father, 
 Lo, so many years do I serve thee, and 
 never transgressed thy commandment; yet 
 to me thou never gavest a kid, that I might 
 make merry with my friends : 
 
 30 But when this thy son is come, who hath 
 devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast 
 killed for him the fatted calf! 
 
 57 
 
71ie parable of the unjust steward, 
 
 31 But he said to him, Son, thou .art ever 
 with me ; and all that I have is thine. 
 
 32 It was meet that we should make 
 merry, and be glad : *for this thy brother 
 was dead, and is alive again ; and was lost, 
 and is found. 
 
 CHAPTER XVI. 
 
 1 The parable of the unjust steward. 14 Christ re- 
 proveth the hypocrisy of the covetous Pharisees. 
 19 The rich glutton, and Lazarus the beggar. 
 
 AND he said also to his disciples, There 
 was a certain rich man who had a 
 steward ; and he was accused to him of 
 wasting his possessions. 
 
 2 And he called him, and said to him, 
 What is this that I hear of thee ? render 
 an account of thy stewardship : for thou 
 canst be steward no longer. _ 
 
 3 And the steward said within himself, 
 What shall I do ? for my lord taketh from 
 me the stewardship: I cannot dig; I am 
 ashamed to beg. 
 
 4 I have resolved what to do, that when 
 I am removed from the stewardship, they 
 may receive me into their houses. 
 
 5 So calling to him each one of his lord's 
 debtors, he said to the first, How much 
 owest thou to my lord ? 
 
 6 And he said, An hundred ||measures 
 of oil. And he said to him, Take thy bill, 
 and sit down quickly, and write fifty. 
 
 7 Then he said to another. And how 
 much owest thou ? And he said, An hun- 
 dred ||measures of wheat. And he said to 
 him, Take thy bill, and write eighty. 
 
 8 And the lord commended the unjust 
 steward, because he had done prudently : 
 for the sons of this world are in their gene- 
 ration more prudent than "the sons of light. 
 
 9 And I say to you, 'Make to yourselves 
 friends by means of the unrighteous ||mam- 
 mon ; that when ye leave it, they may re- 
 ceive you into everlasting habitations. 
 
 10 "He who is faithful in the least, is faith- 
 ful also in much; and he who is unjust in 
 the least, is unjust also in much. 
 
 11 If then ye were not faithful in the 
 unrighteous |j mammon, who will entrust 
 to you the true ? 
 
 12 And if ye were not faithful in that 
 which is another's, who will give you your 
 own? 
 
 13 ^ ■'No servant can serve two masters : 
 for he will either hate the one, and love 
 the other, or hold to the one, and despise 
 the other. Ye cannot serve God and 
 mammon. 
 
 14 And the Pharisees also, c who were 
 covetous, heard all these things, and they 
 derided him. 
 
 15 And he said to them,_Ye are those 
 who 'justify themselves "before men ; but 
 fGod knoweth your hearts : for Hhat which 
 is highly esteemed among men, is abomi- 
 nation in the sight of God. 
 
 16 'The law and the prophets were until 
 John : since that time the kingdom of God 
 is announced, and every one presseth 
 into it. 
 
 17 *And it is easier for heaven and earth to 
 pass, than for one particle of the law to fail. 
 
 18 l Whoever putteth away his wife, and 
 marrieth another, committetli adultery; and 
 whoever marrieth her who is put away from 
 her husband, committeth adultery.

 20 And there was a certain poor man 
 named Lazarus, who lay at his gate, full 
 of sores, 
 
 21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs 
 which fell from the rich man's table : nay, 
 even the dogs came and licked his sores. 
 
 22 And it came to pass, that the poor 
 man died, and was carried by the angels 
 to the bosom of Abraham. The rich man 
 also died, arid was buried : 
 
 23 And in ||the lower world raising his 
 eyes, being in torments, he seeth Abraham 
 at a distance, and Lazarus in his bosom. 
 
 24 And he cried, and said, Father Abra- 
 ham, pity me, and send Lazarus, that he 
 may dip the tip of his finger in water, and 
 m cool my tongue : for I "am tormented in 
 this flame. 
 
 25 But Abraham said, Son, "remember 
 that thou in thy life receivedst thy good 
 things, and Lazarus in like manner his evil 
 things : but now he is comforted, and thou 
 art tormented. 
 
 26 And besides all this, between us and 
 you there is a great gulf fixed : so that those 
 who would pass from hence to you, can- 
 not; nor those from thence pass over to us. 
 
 27 And he said, I pray thee then, father, 
 that thou wouldest send him to my father's 
 house: 
 
 28 For I have five brethren ; that he may 
 warn them, lest they also come into this 
 place of torment. 
 
 29 Abraham saith to him, 'They have 
 Moses and the prophets; let them hear 
 them. 
 
 30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham : 
 but if one go to them from the dead, they 
 will repent. 
 
 31 And he said to him, If they hear not 
 Moses and the prophets, 'neither will they 
 be persuaded, though one rise from the 
 dead. 
 
 CHAPTER XVII. 
 
 1 Shrist teacheth to avoid occasions of sin. 3 One to 
 forgive another. 6 The power of faith. 7 How 
 we are bound to God, and not he to us. 11 He 
 healeth ten lepers. 22 Of the kingdom of God, and 
 the coming of the Son of man. 
 
 AND he said to the disciples, "It is im- 
 possible but that occasions of sin will 
 come : but wo to him through whom they 
 come! 
 
 2 It were better for him that a millstone 
 were hung about his neck, and he thrown 
 into the sea, than that he should cause one 
 of these little ones to sin. 
 
 3 If Take heed to yourselves : 'But if 
 thy brother trespass against thee, "rebuke 
 him; and if he repent, forgive him. 
 
 4 And if he trespass against thee seven 
 times in a day, and seven times in a day 
 turn to thee, saying, I repent ; thou shalt 
 forgive him. 
 
 5 And the apostles said to the Lord, In- 
 crease our faith. 
 
 6 ''And the Lord said, If ye had faith as 
 a grain of mustard-seed, ye m ght say to 
 this sycamine-tree, Be rooted up, and 
 planted in the sea ; and it would obey you. 
 
 7 And who of you having a servant plough- 
 ing, or feeding cattle, will say to him, as 
 he cometh from the field, Go immediately 
 and recline at table ? 
 
Christ lieateth ten lepers. 
 
 CHAPTER XVIII 
 
 8 But will not rather say to him, Make 
 ready my supper, and gird thyself, "and 
 serve me, while I eat and drink ; and after- 
 ward thou shalt eat and drink ? 
 
 9 Doth he thank that servant, because he 
 did what was commanded him ? I think not. 
 
 10 Thus also ye, when ye shall have done 
 all which is commanded you, say, We are 
 1 unprofitable servants: we have done but 
 what we were bound to do. 
 
 11 If And it happened, s as he was going 
 to Jerusalem, that he went through Sama- 
 ria and Galilee. 
 
 12 And as he entered a certain village, 
 ten lepers met him, "who stood at a distance ; 
 
 13 And they raised their voices, saying, 
 Jesus, Master, pity us ! 
 
 14 And seeing them, he said, 'Go shew 
 yourselves to the priests. And it came to 
 pass,as they were going, they were cleansed. 
 
 15 And one of them, seeing that he was 
 healed, returned, with a loud voice glorify- 
 ing God ; 
 
 16 And fell on his face at his feet, giving 
 him thanks : and he was a Samaritan. 
 
 17 And Jesus answering, said, Were not 
 the ten cleansed ? and where are the nine ? 
 
 18 Were there none found to return and 
 give glory to God, except this stranger ? 
 
 19 *And he said to him, Arise and go; 
 thy faith hath healed thee. 
 
 20 H And being asked by the Pharisees, 
 when the kingdom of God cometh, he an- 
 swered them and said, The kingdom of God 
 cometh not [Iwith observation. 
 
 21 'Nor will they say, Lo here ! or, Lo 
 there ! for behold, ™the kingdom of God is 
 ['within you. 
 
 22 And he said to the disciples, "The 
 days will come, when ye shall desire to 
 see one of the days of the Son of man, and 
 ye will not see it. 
 
 23 "And they will say to you, Lo here ! 
 or, Lo there ! go not after them, nor fol- 
 low them. 
 
 24 p For as the lightning which flasheth from 
 one part of heaven shineth to the other ; so 
 also will the Son of man be in his day. 
 
 25 'But first he must suffer much, and be 
 rejected by this generation. 
 
 26 'And as it was in the days of Noah, so 
 will it be also in the days of the Son of man. 
 
 27 They were eating, drinking, marrying, 
 given in marriage, until the day that Noah 
 entered into the ark ; and the flood came, 
 and destroyed them all. 
 
 28 s In like manner also as it was in the 
 days of Lot : they were eating, drinking, 
 buying, selling, planting, building ; 
 
 29 But 'on the day that Lot went out of 
 Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from 
 heaven, and destroyed them all : 
 
 30 So will it be in the day when the Son 
 of man "is revealed. 
 
 31 On that day, he r who is on the house- 
 top, and his furniture in the house, let him 
 not come down to take it away: and he 
 who is in the field, let him likewise not 
 return back. 
 
 32 ^Remember the wife of Lot. 
 
 33 *Whoever shall seek to save his life, 
 will lose it; and whoever shall lose his 
 life, will preserve it. 
 
 34 "I say to you, in that night there will 
 be two in one bed; one will be taken, and 
 the other left.

 CHAPTER XVIII. 
 
 3 Of the importunate widow. 9 Of the Pharisee and 
 the publican. 15 Children brought to Christ. 18 A 
 ruler that would follow Christ, but is hindered by 
 his riches. 28 The reward of them that leave all 
 for his sake. 31 He forcsheweth his death, 35 and 
 restoreth a blind man to his sight. 
 
 AND he spoke also a parable to them, 
 shewing that men ought "always to 
 pray, and not to faint ; 
 
 2 Saying, There was in a certain city a 
 judge, who feared not God, nor regarded 
 man. 
 
 3 And there was a widow in that city; 
 and she used to come to him, saying, Do 
 me justice on my adversary. 
 
 4 And he would not for a while: but 
 afterward he said within himself, Though 
 I fear not God, nor regard man ; 
 
 5 'Yet, because this widow troubleth me, 
 I will do her justice, lest by her continual 
 coming she weary me. 
 
 6 And the Lord said, Hear what the un- 
 just judge saith. 
 
 7 And c will not God avenge his own elect, 
 who cry to him day and night, though he 
 suffer long in respect to them ? 
 
 8 I tell you d that he will avenge them 
 speedily. But will the Son of man, when 
 he cometh, find faith on the earth ? 
 
 9 And he spoke this parable to some who 
 'believed themselves to be righteous, and 
 despised others : 
 
 10 Two men went up into the temple to 
 pray ; the one a Pharisee, and the other a 
 publican. 
 
 11 The Pharisee ''stood and prayed thus 
 with himself, f God, I thank thee, that I am 
 not as other men, rapacious, unjust, adul- 
 terers, or even as this publican. 
 
 12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes 
 of all that I possess. 
 
 13 And the publican, standing afar off 
 would not even raise his eyes to heaven, 
 but smote upon his breast, saying, God be 
 merciful to me a sinner. 
 
 14 I tell you, this man went down to his 
 house justified rather than the other : *for 
 whoever exalteth himself will be humbled, 
 and whoever humbleth himself will be ex- 
 alted. 
 
 15 'And they brought to him also their 
 infants, that he would touch them : but his 
 disciples seeing it, rebuked them. . 
 
 16 But Jesus calling them to him, said, 
 Suffer the little children to come to me, 
 and do not forbid them: for *of such is the 
 kingdom of God. 
 
 17 'Verily, I say to you, Whoever doth 
 not receive the kingdom of God as a little 
 child, shall by no means enter into it. 
 
 18 m And a certain ruler asked him, say- 
 ing, Good Teacher, what shall I do to in- 
 herit eternal life ? 
 
 19 And Jesus said to him, Why callest 
 thou me good ? there is none good, but 
 one, that is God. 
 
 20 Thou knowest the commandments, 
 
 59 
 
Christ foretelleth his own death. 
 
 "Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do 
 not steal, Do not bear false testimony, "Ho- 
 nour thy father and thy mother. 
 
 21 And he said, All these have I kept 
 from my youth. 
 
 22 And Jesus hearing this, said to him, 
 Thou still lackest one thing : ''sell all that 
 thou hast, and distribute to the poor, and 
 thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and 
 come, follow me. 
 
 23 And on hearing this, he became very 
 sorrowful : for he was very rich. 
 
 24 And Jesus seeing that he became very 
 sorrowful, said, 'How hardly will those 
 who have riches enter into the kingdom of 
 God! 
 
 25 For it is easier for a camel to go 
 through a needle's eye, than for a rich 
 man to enter the kingdom of God. 
 
 26 And those who heard it, said, Who 
 then can be saved ? 
 
 27 And he said, 'What is impossible with 
 men, is possible with God. 
 
 28 'And Peter said, Lo, we have left all, 
 and followed thee. 
 
 29 And he said to them, Verily, I say to 
 you, 'There is no one who hath left house, 
 or parents, or brethren, or wife, or child- 
 ren, for the. sake of the kingdom of God, 
 
 30 "Who shall not receive manifold more 
 in this present time, and in the world to 
 come everlasting life. 
 
 31 If *And taking the twelve, he said to 
 them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and 
 all "that is written by the prophets will be 
 accomplished on the Son of man. 
 
 32 For *he will be delivered to the Gen- 
 tiles, and will be scoffed at, and abused, 
 and spit upon ; 
 
 33 And they will scourge and slay him : 
 and on the third day he will arise. 
 
 34 °And they comprehended none of 
 these things : and this language was hid- 
 den from them, and they understood not 
 what was spoken. 
 
 35 ^f 'And it happened, as he came near 
 Jericho, that a certain blind man sat by 
 the way- side begging ; 
 
 36 And hearing a multitude passing along, 
 he asked what it meant. 
 
 37 And they told him, that Jesus of Na- 
 zareth was going by. 
 
 38 And he cried, saying, Jesus, son of 
 David, pity me ! 
 
 39 And those who preceded charged him 
 to be silent: but he cried the more, Son of 
 David, pity me ! 
 
 40 And Jesus stopping, directed him to 
 be brought to him : and as he came near, 
 he asked him, 
 
 41 Saying, What wilt thou that T do for 
 thee ? And he said, Lord, that I may re- 
 ceive my sight. 
 
 42 And Jesus said to him, Receive thy 
 sight: c thy faith hath healed thee. 
 
 43 And immediately he received his sight, 
 and followed him, ''glorifying God: and all 
 the people saw it, and gave praise to God.

 Parable of the ten pieces of money. 
 
 2 And behold, there was a man named 
 Zaccheus, who was a chief publican ; and 
 he was rich. 
 
 3 And he sought to see Jesus who he was; 
 and could not for the crowd, because he 
 was small of stature. 
 
 4 And he ran before, and climbed up into 
 a sycamore-tree to see him ; for he was to 
 pass that way. 
 
 5 And when Jesus came to the place, he 
 looked up, and saw him, and said to him, 
 Zaccheus, hasten, and come down: for to- 
 day I must remain in thy house. 
 
 6 And he hastened, and came down, and 
 received him joyfully. 
 
 7 And they all saw it, and murmured, 
 saying, "He is gone to be a guest with a 
 sinner. 
 
 8 And Zaccheus stood, and said to the 
 Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my pos- 
 sessions I give to the poor; and if I have 
 'defrauded any one in any thing, 'I re- 
 store him four-fold. 
 
 9 And Jesus said to him, To-day salva- 
 tion is come to this house, inasmuch as d he 
 also is e a son of Abraham. 
 
 10 -^For the Son of man came to seek and 
 to save that which was lost. 
 
 11 And as they heard this, he added and 
 spoke a parable, because he was near Je- 
 rusalem, and ff they thought that the king- 
 dom of God would immediately appear. 
 
 12 ''He said therefore, A certain noble- 
 man went into a distant country to obtain 
 the sovereignty, and then return. 
 
 13 And calling his ten servants, he deli- 
 vered to them ten Upounds, and said to 
 them, Trade with these till I come. 
 
 14 'But his citizens hated him, and sent 
 an embassy after him, saying, We wish 
 not this man to reign over us. 
 
 15 And it came to pass, that when he re- 
 turned, having received the sovereignty, 
 he bade these servants be called to him, to 
 whom he gave the tmoney, that he might 
 know what each had gained by trading. 
 
 16 And the first came, saying, Lord, thy 
 pound hath gained ten pounds. 
 
 17 And he said to him, Well done, good 
 servant! because thouwert *faithful in a 
 very little, have authority over ten cities. 
 
 18 And the second came, saying, Lord, 
 thy pound hath gained five pounds. 
 
 19 And he said likewise to him, And be 
 thou over five cities. 
 
 20 And another came, saying. Lord, be- 
 hold here is thy pound, which I have kept 
 laid up in a napkin : 
 
 21 'For I feared thee, because thou art a 
 severe man: thou takest up what thou lay- 
 edst not down, and reapest what thou didst 
 not sow. 
 
 22 And he saith to him, m From thine own 
 mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked ser- 
 vant ! "Thou knewest that I was a severe 
 man, taking up what T laid not down, and 
 reaping what I did not sow ? 
 
 23 AVhy then didst thou not give my 
 money into the bank, that at my coming I 
 might have exacted it with interest ? 
 
 24 And he said to those standing by, 
 Take from him the pound, and give it to 
 him who hath the ten pounds. 
 
 25 (And they said to him, Lord, he hath 
 ten pounds.) 
 
 26 For I say to you, "That to every one 
 
Christ ridetk into Jerusalem. 
 
 who hath, shall be given ; and from him 
 who hath not, even what he hath shall be 
 taken from him. 
 
 27 But those mine enemies, who would not 
 have me reign over them, bring here, and 
 slaughter in my presence. 
 
 28 If Having thus spoken, p he went on 
 before them, ascending to Jerusalem. 
 
 29 'And it came to pass, as he drew near 
 to Bethphage and Bethany, at the moun- 
 tain called the mount of Olives, he sent 
 two of his disciples, 
 
 30 Saying, Go into the village over against 
 you ; in which at your entering ye shall 
 find a colt tied, on which no man ever sat: 
 loose and bring him. 
 
 31 And if any one ask you, Why do ye 
 loose him ? ye shall say thus to him, The 
 Lord hath need of him. 
 
 32 And those who were sent went, and 
 found it as he had said to them. 
 
 33 And as they were loosing the colt, its 
 owners said to them, Why loose ye the 
 colt ? 
 
 34 And they said, The Lord hath need 
 of him. 
 
 35 And they brought him to Jesus : r and 
 they threw their garments upon the colt, 
 and set Jesus upon him. 
 
 36 "And as he went, they spread their 
 garments in the way. 
 
 37 And he being now come near, at the 
 descent of the mount of Olives, the whole 
 multitude of the disciples began to rejoice 
 and praise God with a loud voice, for all 
 the mighty works which they had seen ; 
 
 38 Saying, 'Blessed be the King who 
 cometh in the name of the Lord ! "Peace 
 in heaven, and glory in the highest! 
 
 39 And some of the Pharisees from among 
 the multitude said to him, Teacher, rebuke 
 thy disciples. 
 
 40 And he answered and said to them, 
 I tell you, that if these are silent, *the 
 stones will cry out. 
 
 41 % And as he drew near, and saw the 
 city, he "wept over it, 
 
 42 Saying, Didst thou but know, at least 
 in this thy day, the things which belong to 
 thy peace ! but now they are hidden from 
 thine eyes. 
 
 43 For the days will come upon thee, 
 when thine enemies will z throw a trench 
 about thee, and encircle thee, and shut 
 thee in on every side, 
 
 44 And "level thee with the ground, and 
 thy children within thee: and 'they will 
 not leave in thee one stone upon another : 
 'because thou knewest not the time of thy 
 visitation. 
 
 45 d And he went into the temple, and 
 began to cast out those who sold and 
 bought in it, 
 
 46 Saying to them, 'It is written, My 
 house is a house of prayer, but f ye have 
 made it a den of robbers. 
 
 47 And he taught daily in the temple. 
 But g the chief priests, and the scribes, and 
 the chief men of the people sought to de- 
 stroy him, 
 
 48 And could not find what they should 
 do : for all the people hung upon his lips.

 .. Or, shawm no 
 
 faHiality. 
 Or, in truth. 
 
 Parable of the wicked husbandmen. 
 
 the Sadducees that denied the resurrection. 41 How 
 Christ is the Son of David. 45 He warneth his 
 disciples to beware of the scribes. 
 
 AND "it happened, that on one of those 
 days, as he taught the people in the 
 temple, and published the glad tidings, the 
 chief priests and the scribes, with the 
 elders, came up, 
 
 2 And spoke to him, saying, Tell us, 'by 
 what authority doest thou this ? or who is 
 he that gave thee this authority ? 
 
 3 And he answering, said to them, I also 
 will ask you one question; and answer me : 
 
 4 John's immersion, was it from heaven, 
 or from men ? 
 
 5 And they reasoned with themselves, 
 saying, If we say, From heaven ; he will 
 say, Why then did ye not believe him ? 
 
 6 And if we say, From men; all the peo- 
 ple will stone us : "for they are persuaded 
 that John was a prophet. 
 
 7 And they answered, That they could 
 not tell whence it was. 
 
 8 And Jesus said to them, Neither do I 
 tell you by what authority I do this. 
 
 9 And he began to speak to the people 
 this parable: y A certain man planted a 
 vineyard, and let it out to husbandmen, 
 and went abroad for a long time. 
 
 10 And at the season he sent a servant to 
 the husbandmen, that they should give him 
 of the fruit of the vineyard : but the hus- 
 bandmen beat him, and sent him away 
 empty. 
 
 11 And again he sent another servant: 
 and they beat him also, and treated him 
 shamefully, and sent him away empty. 
 
 12 And again he sent a third : and they 
 wounded him also, and cast him out. 
 
 13 Then said the lord of the vineyard, 
 What shall I do? I will send my beloved 
 son: it may be that when they see him, 
 they will reverence him. 
 
 14 But when the husbandmen saw him, 
 they reasoned among themselves, saying, 
 This is the heir: come, let us kill him, 
 that the inheritance may be ours. 
 
 15 So they cast him out of the vineyard, 
 and killed him. What then will the lord 
 of the vineyard do to them ? 
 
 16 He will come and destroy these hus- 
 bandmen, and give the vineyard to others. 
 And hearing it, they said, God forbid ! 
 
 17 But he looked at them, and said, What 
 then is this that is written, 'The stone 
 which the builders rejected, this is be- 
 come the head of the corner ? 
 
 18 Whoever falleth on that stone will be 
 dashed in pieces: but ^on whomsoever it 
 shall fall, it will grind him to powder. 
 
 19 IT And the chief priests and the scribes 
 at that same hour sought to lay hands on 
 him : and they feared the people : for they 
 knew that he had spoken this parable 
 against them. 
 
 20 *And they watched him, and sent forth 
 spies, who should feign themselves right- 
 eous, that they might lay hold of his words, 
 in order to deliver him to the power and 
 authority of the governor. 
 
 21 And they asked him, saying, "Teacher, 
 we know that thou speakest and teachest 
 rightly, and ||acceptest no one's person, 
 but teachest lltruly the way of God : 
 
 22 Is it lawful for us to give tribute to 
 Cesar, or not ? 
 
 61 
 
The Sadducees confuted. 
 
 23 But perceiving their craftiness, he said 
 to them, Why do ye try me ? 
 
 24 Shew me a Upenny. Whose image and 
 inscription hath it? They answered and 
 said, Cesar's. 
 
 25 And he said to them, Render there- 
 fore to Cesar that which is Cesar's, and to 
 God that which is God's. 
 
 26 And they could not take hold of his 
 words before the people: and wondering 
 at his answer, they were silent. 
 
 27 % 'And some of the Sadducees came 
 up (*who deny that there is a resurrection) 
 and they asked him, 
 
 28 Saying, Teacher, 'Moses directed us 
 in the law, If any man's brother die, hav- 
 ing a wife, and he die childless, that his 
 brother should take his wife, and raise up 
 offspring to his brother. 
 
 29 Now there were seven brethren : and 
 the first took a wife, and died childless. 
 
 30 And the second took his wife, and he 
 died childless. 
 
 31 And the third took her ; and in like 
 manner also the seven : and they left no 
 children, and died. 
 
 32 Last of all the woman died also. 
 
 33 Now in the resurrection, whose wife 
 of them is she ? for the seven had her as a 
 wife. 
 
 34 And Jesus answering, said to them, 
 The sons of this world marry, and. are 
 given in marriage : 
 
 35 But those who are deemed worthy to 
 obtain that world, and the resurrection 
 from the dead, neither marry, nor are given 
 in marriage : 
 
 36 For they cannot die any more: for 
 '"they are like the angels ; and are sons of 
 God, "being sons of the resurrection. 
 
 37 But that the dead are raised, "even 
 Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth 
 the Lord the God of Abraham, and the 
 God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. 
 
 38 But he is not a God of the dead, but 
 of the living : for p all live to him. 
 
 39 If Then certain of the scribes answer- 
 ing, said, Teacher, thou hast well said. 
 
 40 And they no longer ventured to ques- 
 tion him at all. 
 
 41 And he said to them, 'How do they 
 say that the Christ is the son of David ? 
 
 42 And David himself saith in the book 
 of Psalms, r The Lord said to my Lord, 
 Sit on my right hand, 
 
 43 Till I make thine enemies thy footstool. 
 
 44 David therefore calleth him Lord, and 
 how is he his son ? 
 
 45 If 'Then in the hearing of all the peo- 
 ple, he said to his disciples, 
 
 46 'Beware of the scribes, who delight 
 to walk in robes, and "love salutations in 
 the streets, and the first seats in the syna- 
 gogues, and the first places at feasts ; 
 
 47 *Who devour the houses of widows, 
 and for a shew make long prayers : these 
 will receive greater punishment. 
 
 CHAPTER XXI. 
 
 1 Christ cornmendeth the poor widow. 5 He foretell- 
 eth the destruction of the temple, and of the city 
 Jerusalem : 25 the signs also which shall be before 
 the last day. 34 He exhorteth them to be watchful. 
 
 AND looking up "he saw the rich casting 
 their gifts into the treasury. 
 2 And he saw also a certain poor widow, 
 casting therein two ||mites.

 The signs of Christ's second coming. 
 
 3 And he said, Truly I say to you, 'That 
 this poor widow hath cast in more than 
 all. 
 
 4 For all these of their abundance threw 
 in to the offerings of God: but she of 
 her deficiency threw in all the living that 
 she had. 
 
 5 If "And as some said of the temple, that 
 it was adorned with beautiful stones, and 
 offerings, he said, 
 
 6 As to these things which ye behold, the 
 days will come, in which ''there will not be 
 left one stone upon another, that will not 
 be thrown down. 
 
 7 And they asked him, saying, Teacher, 
 when will this be ? and what is the sign 
 when this is about to happen ? 
 
 8 And he said, 'Take heed lest ye be led 
 astray : for many will come in my name, 
 saying, I am he ; Hand the time is near : do 
 not then go after them. 
 
 9 But when ye hear of wars, and commo- 
 tions, be not terrified : for these things 
 must first happen ; but the end is not im- 
 mediately. 
 
 10 ^Then he said to them, Nation will 
 rise against nation, and kingdom against 
 kingdom: 
 
 11 And there will be great earthquakes in 
 various places.and famines,and pestilences :. 
 and there will be fearful sights, and great 
 signs from heaven. 
 
 12 ? But before all this they will lay their 
 hands on you, and persecute you, deliver- 
 ing you to synagogues, and "prisons, 'and 
 bringing you before kings and rulers 'on 
 account of my name. 
 
 13 And 'it will turn out to you as a means 
 of testimony. 
 
 14 ""Settle it therefore in your hearts, not 
 to meditate beforehand how ye shall defend 
 yourselves. 
 
 15 For I will give you utterance and 
 wisdom, "which all your opposers will not 
 be able to gainsay or resist. 
 
 16 "And ye will be betrayed by parents, 
 and brethren, and kindred, and friends; 
 and p some of you they will put to death. 
 
 17 And «ye will be hated by all on ac- 
 count of my name. 
 
 18 'But there shall not a hair of your 
 head perish. 
 
 19 By your steadfastness preserve your 
 lives. 
 
 20 s But when ye see Jerusalem encircjed 
 by armies, then know that its desolation 
 is near. 
 
 21 Then let those in Judea flee to the 
 mountains ; and let those in the midst of 
 it depart out ; and let those in the country 
 not enter into it. 
 
 22 For these are days of vengeance, that 
 'all that is written may be accomplished. 
 
 23 "But wo to those who are with child, 
 and to those giving suck in those days ! 
 for there will be great distress in the land, 
 and wrath upon this people. 
 
 24 And they will fall by the edge of the 
 sword, and be led captive among all na- 
 tions : and Jerusalem will be trodden by 
 the nations, r uQtil the times of the nations 
 are fulfilled. 
 
 25 1f *And there will be signs in the sun 
 and moon and stars; and on the earth dis- 
 tress of nations, amid perplexity ; the sea 
 and the waves roaring; 
 
The Jews conspire against Christ. 
 
 26 Men expiring from terror, and from 
 expectation of what is coming on the world : 
 'for the powers of heaven wdl be shaken. 
 
 27 And then they will see the Son of 
 man "coming in a cloud, with power and 
 great glory. 
 
 28 And when these things begin to come 
 to pass, then look up, and raise your heads : 
 for 'your redemption draweth near. 
 
 29 c Andhe spoke to them a parable; See 
 the fig-tree, and all the trees ; 
 
 30 When they now shoot forth, ye see- 
 ing it, know of yourselves that summer is 
 already near. 
 
 31 So also ye, when ye see these things 
 happen, know that the kingdom of God is 
 near. 
 
 32 Verily, I say to you, This generation 
 shall not pass away, till all is fulfilled. 
 
 33 d Heaven and earth will pass away : 
 but my words shall not pass away. 
 
 34 And 'take heed to yourselves, lest 
 your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting 
 and drunkenness, and the anxieties of life, 
 and that day come upon you unawares. 
 
 35 For 'as a snare will it come on all who 
 dwell on the face of the whole earth. 
 
 36 *Watch therefore always, and A pray, 
 that ye may be deemed worthy to escape 
 all this which is to happen, and ; to stand 
 before the Son of man. 
 
 _ 37 f "And in the day-time he was teaching 
 in the temple ; and 'went out, and spent 
 his nights in the mount called the mount 
 of Olives. 
 
 38 And all the people came early to him 
 in the temple, to hear him. 
 
 CHAPTER XXII. 
 
 1 The Jews conspire against Christ. 3 Satan pre- 
 pareth Judas to betray him. 7 The apostles prepare 
 the passover. 19 Christ instituteth his holy sup- 
 per, 21 covertly foretelleth of the traitor, 24 de- 
 hor teth the rest of his apostles from ambition, 31 
 assurelh Peter his faith should not fail .- 34 and 
 yet he should deny him thrice. 39 He prayeth in the 
 mount, and sweateth blood, 47 is betrayed with a 
 kiss : 50 he healeth Malchus' ear, 54 he is thrice 
 denied by Peter, 63 shamefully abused, 66 and con 
 fesseth himself to be the Son of God. 
 
 NOW "the feast of unleavened bread was 
 near, which is called the Passover. 
 
 2 And 'the chief priests and scribes were 
 seeking how they might kill him : for they 
 feared the people. 
 
 3 *[f c And Satan entered into Judas sur 
 named Iscariot, being of the number of 
 the twelve. 
 
 4 And he went, and consulted with the 
 chief priests and officers, how he might 
 deliver him to them. 
 
 5 And they were glad, and d agreed to 
 give him money. 
 
 6 And he consented, and sought oppor- 
 tunity to deliver him to them ||in the ab- 
 sence of the multitude. 
 
 7 % 'Now the day of unleavened bread 
 came, when the passover must be sacri- 
 ficed. 
 
 8 And he sent Peter and John, saying, 
 Go and prepare for us the passover, that 
 we may eat it. 
 
 9 And they said to him, Where wilt thou 
 that we prepare it ? 
 
 10 And he said to them, Behold, as ye 
 enter the city, a man will meet you, bear- 
 ing a pitcher of water; follow him into the 
 house where he entereth.

 The last supper. 
 
 11 And ye shall say to the master of the 
 house, The Teacher saith to thee, Where 
 is the guest-chamber, where I may eat the 
 passover with my disciples ? 
 
 12 And he will shew you a large upper 
 room furnished : there make ready. 
 
 13 And they went and found it as he had 
 said to them: and they made ready the 
 passover. 
 
 14 'And when the hour came, he reclined 
 at table, and the twelve apostles with him. 
 
 15 And he said to them, Earnestly have 
 I desired to eat this passover with you be- 
 fore I suffer. 
 
 16 For I say to you, I shall no longer eat 
 of it, nintil it is fulfilled in the kingdom 
 of God. 
 
 17 And taking a cup, he gave thanks, and 
 said, Take this, and divide it among your- 
 selves. 
 
 18 For "I say to you, that I shall not drink 
 of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom 
 of God shall come. 
 
 19 t iAn d he took bread, and giving 
 thanks, broke it, and gave to them, say- 
 ing, This is my body which is given for 
 you :• *this do in remembrance of me. 
 
 20 Thus also the cup after supper, say- 
 ing, 'This cup is the new covenant in my 
 blood, which is shed for you. 
 
 21 IT m But lo, the hand of him who be- 
 trayeth me is with me on the table. 
 
 _ 22 "And the Son of man indeed goeth "as 
 it is determined : but wo to that man by 
 whom he is betrayed ! 
 
 23 y And they began to inquire among 
 themselves, which of them it was that was 
 about to do this. 
 
 24 •[[ 'And there arose also a strife among 
 them, which of them should be considered 
 the greatest. 
 
 25 "And he said to them, The kings of 
 the nations exercise dominion over them ; 
 and those who have authority over them 
 are called benefactors. 
 
 26 'But ye are not so: 'but let the great- 
 est among you become as the least; and 
 the ruler as the servant. 
 
 27 "For who is greater, he that reclineth 
 at table, or he that serveth ? is not he that 
 reclineth at table ? but *I am among you 
 as he that serveth. 
 
 28 Ye are those who have continued with 
 me in y my trials ; 
 
 29 And *I appoint to you a kingdom, as 
 my Father hath appointed to me ; 
 
 30 That "ye may eat and drink at my 
 table in my kingdom, 'and sit on thrones, 
 judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 
 
 31 If And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, 
 behold, 'Satan hath sought for you, that he 
 may ''sift you as wheat : 
 
 32 But 'I have prayed for thee, that thy 
 faith fail not : 'and when thou hast reco- 
 vered thyself, strengthen thy brethren. 
 
 33 And he said to him, Lord, I am ready 
 to go with thee, both to prison, and to death. 
 
 34 *And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the 
 cock will not crow to-day, before thou 
 shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me. 
 
 35 *And he said to them, When I sent 
 you without purse, and sack, and shoes, 
 did ye lack any thing? And they said, 
 Nothing. 
 
 36 And he said to them, But now, he who 
 hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise 
 
 63 
 
Chrises agony in the garden. 
 
 Ills sack: and he who hath no sword, let 
 hiin sell his garment, and buy one. 
 
 37 For I say to you, that this which is 
 written must yet be accomplished in me, 
 'And he was reckoned among transgress- 
 ors : for the things written concerning me 
 are to be fulfilled. 
 
 38 And they said, Lord, behold, here are 
 two swords. And he said to them, It is 
 enough. 
 
 39 II "And going out, he 'went, as he was 
 accustomed, to the mount of Olives ; and 
 his disciples also followed him. 
 
 40 m And coming to the place, he said to 
 them, Pray that ye enter not into trial. 
 
 41 "And he withdrew from them about a 
 stone's throw, and knelt down, and prayed, 
 
 42 Saying, Father, if thou twilt, remove 
 this cup from me : yet, "not my will, but 
 thine, be done. 
 
 43 And there appeared to him p an angel 
 from heaven, strengthening him. 
 
 44 'And being in an agony, he prayed 
 more earnestly: and his sweat became 
 like great drops of blood falling to the 
 ground. 
 
 45 And he arose from prayer, and coming 
 to his disciples, found them sleeping for 
 sorrow, 
 
 46 And said to them, Why sleep ye? rise 
 and r pray, lest ye enter into trial . 
 
 47 If And while he was still speaking, 
 'behold a multitude, and he who was 
 called Judas, one of the twelve, went be- 
 fore them, and drew near to Jesus to kiss 
 him. 
 
 48 But Jesus said to him ? Judas, betray - 
 est thou the Son of man with a kiss ? 
 
 49 And those about him, seeing what was 
 to happen, said to him, Lord, shall we smite 
 with the sword ? 
 
 50 f And 'one of them smote the servant 
 of the high priest, and cut off* his right ear. 
 
 51 And Jesus answering, said, Let this 
 suffice. And he touched his ear, and heal- 
 ed him. 
 
 52 "Then Jesus said to the chief priests, 
 and officers of the temple, and elders, who 
 had come against him, Have ye come out 
 as against a robber, with swords and staves? 
 
 53 When I was daily with you in the tem- 
 ple, ye did not stretch forth your hands 
 against me: *but this is your hour, and the 
 power of darkness ! 
 
 54 If "And having seized upon him, they 
 led him away, and brought him into the 
 house of the high priest. *And Peter fol- 
 lowed at a distance. 
 
 55 "And kindling a fire in the midst of 
 the court, they sat down together, and 
 Peter sat down among them. 
 
 56 But a certain maid saw him sitting by 
 the fire, and fixing her eyes upon him, 
 said, This man was also with him. 
 
 57 And he denied him, saying, Woman, 
 I do not know him. 
 
 58 'And after a little while another saw 
 him, and said, Thou also art of them. And 
 Peter saitl, Man, I am not. 
 
 59 'And about an hour after, another con- 
 fidently affirmed, saying, In truth this man 
 also was with him ; for he is a Galilean. 
 
 60 And Peter said, Man, I know not 
 what thou sayest. And immediately, while 
 he was yet speaking, the cock crowed.

 upon Peter. "And Peter called to mind 
 the word of the Lord, how he had said to 
 him, 'Before the cock crow, thou wilt deny 
 me thrice. 
 
 62 And Peter went out and wept bitterly. 
 
 63 If 'And the men who held Jesus, were 
 scoffing at, and beating him. 
 
 64 And having blindfolded him, they kept 
 striking him on the face, and asked him, 
 saying, Prophesy, who is it that struck 
 thee ? 
 
 65 And many other things they spoke re- 
 vilingly against him. 
 
 66 if e And when it was day, Hhe elders 
 of the people, with the chief priests and 
 scribes, came together, and led him into 
 their council, 
 
 67 'Saying, Art thou the Christ? tell us. 
 And he said to them, If I tell you, ye will 
 not believe. 
 
 68 And if I also question you, ye will not 
 answer me, nor release me. 
 
 69 'Henceforth will the Son of man sit on 
 the right hand of the power of God. 
 
 70 And they all said, Art thou then the 
 Son of God? And he said to them, '(|Ye 
 say that I am. 
 
 71 "And they said, Why need we further 
 testimony ? for we ourselves have heard 
 from his own mouth. 
 
 CHAPTER XXIII. 
 
 1 Jesus is accused before Pilate, and sent to Herod. 
 8 Herod mocketh him. 12 Herod and Pilate are 
 made friends. 13 Barabbas is desired by the peo- 
 ple, and is loosed by Pilate, and Jesus is given to 
 be crucified. 27 He telleth the women, that lament 
 him, the destruction of Jerusalem : 34 prayeth for 
 his enemies. 39 Two evil-doers are crucified with 
 him. 46 His death. 50 His burial. 
 
 AND "the whole company of them arose, 
 and led him to Pilate. 
 
 2 And they began to accuse him, saying, 
 We found this man 'perverting the nation, 
 and 'forbidding to give tribute to Cesar, 
 saying, d that he himself is Christ, a king. 
 
 3 'And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou 
 the King of the Jews ? And he answered 
 him, and said, Thou sayest it. 
 
 4 And Pilate said to the chief priests, and 
 the multitude, 'I find no fault in this man. 
 
 5 And they were the more violent, say- 
 ing, He stirreth up the people, teaching 
 through all Judea, beginning from Galilee 
 to this place. 
 
 6 When Pilate heard of Galilee, he ask- 
 ed if the man was a Galilean. 
 
 7 And learning that he belonged to He- 
 rod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, 
 who was himself also at Jerusalem at this 
 time. 
 
 8 «[f And Herod rejoiced greatly on see- 
 ing Jesus : for *he had desired for a long 
 time to see him, from 'hearing much of him ; 
 and he hoped to see some miracle done 
 by him. 
 
 9 And he questioned him in many words ; 
 but he answered him nothing. 
 
 10 And the chief priests and scribes stood 
 and vehemently accused him. 
 
 11 *And Herod with his soldiers having 
 made light oC-him, and derided him, 
 arrayed him in a splendid dress, and sent 
 him back to Pilate. 
 
 12 If And on that day 'Pilate and Herod 
 became friends with each other; for before 
 they were, at enmity between themselves. 
 
Barrabas is released. 
 
 13 5 "And Pilate, calling together the 
 chief priests, and the rulers, and the people, 
 
 14 Said to them, "Ye have brought this 
 man to me, as one perverting the people : 
 and behold, °I, having examined him before 
 you, have found him guilty of nothing of 
 which ye accuse him ; 
 
 15 And neither hath Herod: for I sent 
 you to him; and lo, nothing worthy of 
 death hath been done by him : 
 
 16 P I will therefore chastise and release 
 him. 
 
 17 «(For it was necessary that he should 
 release one to them at the feast.) 
 
 18 And 'they cried out all at once, say- 
 ing, Away with this man, and release to 
 us Barabbas ! 
 
 19 (Who, for a certain sedition made in 
 the city, and for murder, had been thrown 
 into prison.) 
 
 20 Pilate therefore, wishing to release 
 Jesus, again addressed them. 
 
 21 But they cried, saying, Crucify him ! 
 crucify him ! 
 
 22 And he said to them the third time, 
 Why, what evil hath he done ? I have 
 found in him nothing worthy of death ; I 
 will therefore chastise and release him. 
 
 23 But they urged with loud voices, de- 
 manding that he should be crucified : and 
 their voices and those of the chief priests 
 prevailed. 
 
 24 And 'Pilate ||decided that it should be 
 as they required. 
 
 25 And he released to them him whom 
 they demanded, who for sedition and mur- 
 der had been thrown into prison, and 
 Jesus he delivered to their will. 
 
 26 'And as they led him away, they laid 
 hold upon one Simon a Cyrenian, coming 
 from the country, and on him they laid the 
 cross, that he might bear it after Jesus. 
 
 27 f, And there followed him a great 
 company of people, and of women, who 
 also bewailed and lamented him. 
 
 28 But Jesus turning to them, said, Daugh- 
 ters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but 
 weep for yourselves, and for your children. 
 
 29 "For lo, the days are coming, in which 
 they will say, Happy the barren, and the 
 wombs that never bore, and the breasts 
 which never gave suck! 
 
 30 "Then they will begin to say to the 
 mountains, Fall on us! and to the hills, 
 Cover us! 
 
 31 »For if they do thus to the green tree, 
 what will be done to the dry ? 
 
 32 'And there were also two malefactors 
 led with him to be put to death. 
 
 33 And "when they came to the place 
 called HCalvary, there they nailed him to 
 the cross, and the malefactors ; one on the 
 right hand, and the other on the left. 
 
 34 If And Jesus said, Father, 'forgive 
 them : for 'they know not what they do. 
 And d they divided his garments, cast- 
 ing lots. 
 
 35 And 'the people stood beholding. And 
 the'rulers also witli them scoffed at him, 
 saying, He saved others ; let him save him- 
 self, if he is the Christ, the chosen of God ! 
 
 36 And the soldiers also made sport of 
 him, coming up, and offering him vinegar, 
 
 37 And saying, If thou art the^King of 
 the Jews, save thyself. 
 
 38 "And there was also an inscription

 The crucifixion of Christ. 
 
 written over him, in Greek, and Latin, 
 and Hebrew letters, THIS IS THE 
 KING OF THE JEWS. 
 
 39 ^1 *And one of the malefactors, who were 
 hanging on the cross, reviled him, saying, Ii 
 thou art the Christ, save thyself and us. 
 
 40 But the other answering, rebuked 
 him, saying, Dost thou also not fear God, 
 seeing thou art in the same punishment ? 
 
 41 And we indeed justly; for we receive 
 the due reward of our deeds : but this man 
 hath done nothing amiss. 
 
 42 And he said to Jesus, Lord, remem- 
 ber me when thou comest to thy kingdom. 
 
 43 And Jesus said to him, Verily, I say 
 to thee, To-day thou shalt be with me in 
 paradise. 
 
 44 'And it was about the sixth hour, and 
 there was darkness over all the land until 
 the ninth hour. 
 
 45 And the sun was darkened, and *thf 
 veil of the temple was rent in the midst. 
 
 46 If And Jesus crying with a loud voice, 
 said, 'Father, into thy hands I commit my 
 spirit : m and saying this, he expired. 
 
 47 "And the centurion seeing what had 
 happened, glorified God, saying, Certainly 
 this was a righteous man ! 
 
 48 And all the people who had come to- 
 gether to this spectacle, beholding what 
 took place, returned, beating their breasts. 
 
 49 "And all his acquaintance, and the 
 women who had followed him from Galilee, 
 stood at a distance, beholding these things. 
 
 50 Tf »And behold, a man named Joseph, 
 a senator, a good and just man, 
 
 51 (He had not agreed to their counsel 
 and action,) of Anmathea, a city of the 
 Jews, ? who was also himself looking for 
 the kingdom of God ; 
 
 52 This man went to Pilate, and begged 
 the body of Jesus. 
 
 53 "And taking it down, he wrapped it 
 in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre hewn 
 in rock, where as yet none had been laid. 
 
 54 And it was the day of 'preparation, 
 and the Sabbath was dawning. 
 
 55 And the women also, 'who had come 
 with him from Galilee, followed him, and 
 "beheld the sepulchre, and how his body 
 was placed. 
 
 56 And returning, they "prepared spices 
 and ointments ; and rested on the Sabbath, 
 ^according to the commandment. 
 
 CHAPTER XXIV. 
 
 1 Christ's resurrection is declared by two angels to 
 the women that come to the sepulchre. 9 These 
 report it to others. 13 Christ himself appeareth 
 to the two disciples that went to Emmaus ,■ 36 af- 
 terwards he appeareth to the apostles, and reprov- 
 eth their unbelief: 47 giveth them a charge: 49 
 promiselh the Holy Spirit: 51 and so ascendeth 
 into heaven. 
 
 AND "on the first day of the week, early 
 in the morning, they came to the se- 
 pulchre, 'bringing the spices which they 
 had prepared, and certain others with 
 them. 
 
 2 'And they found the stone rolled away 
 from the sepulchre. 
 
 3 d And entering in, they found not the 
 body of the Lord Jesus. 
 
 4 And it happened, as they were much 
 
 Eerplexed at this; 'behold, two men stood 
 y them in shining garments. 
 
 5 And they being terrified, nnd bowing 
 
 65 
 
Christ appeureth to his disciples, 
 
 their faces to the earth, they said to them, 
 Why seek ye ||the living among the 
 dead? 
 
 6 He is not here, but is risen. 'Remem- 
 ber how he spoke to you while yet in Ga- 
 lilee, 
 
 7 Saying, the Son of man must be de- 
 livered into the hands of sinful men, and 
 be crucified, and arise on the third day. 
 
 8 And *they remembered his words ; 
 
 9 *And returning from the sepulchre, 
 they reported all this to the eleven, and to 
 all the rest. 
 
 10 It was Mary Magdalene, and \Toanna, 
 and Mary the mother of James, and the 
 other women with them, who told this to 
 the apostles. 
 
 11 'And their words seemed to them as 
 idle tales, and they disbelieved them. 
 
 12 'But Peter arose, and ran to the se- 
 pulchre, and stooping down, he beheld the 
 linen clothes lying by themselves, and de- 
 parted, wondering in himself at what had 
 happened. 
 
 13 *\ "And behold, two of them were 
 
 foing on that same day to a village called 
 Immaus, sixty furlongs distant from Jeru- 
 salem. 
 
 14 And they were conversing together 
 concerning all that had happened. 
 
 15 And it canie to pass, that while they 
 were conversing and reasoning, "Jesus 
 himself drew near, and went with them. 
 
 16 But "their eyes were holden, that they 
 should not know him. 
 
 17 And he said to them, What are these 
 words that ye are exchanging with each 
 other, as ye walk, and are sad ? 
 
 18 And the one, p whose name was Cleo- 
 pas, answering, said to hfm, Art thou only 
 a stranger in Jerusalem, and knowest not 
 the things which have happened there in 
 these days ? 
 
 19 And he said to them, What things ? 
 And they said to him, Concerning Jesus 
 of Nazareth, 'who was a prophet r mighty 
 in deed and word before God, and all the 
 people : 
 
 20 'And how the chief priests and our 
 rulers delivered him to be condemned to 
 death, and crucified him. 
 
 21 But we hoped 'that it was he who 
 was to redeem Israel: But with all this, 
 to-day is the third day since this took 
 place. 
 
 22 But also "certain women of our com- 
 pany made us astonished, who were early 
 at the sepulchre. 
 
 23 And not finding his body, they came, 
 saying, that they had also seen a vision of 
 angels, who said that he was alive. 
 
 24 And 'some of those with us, went to 
 the sepulchre, and found it thus as the 
 women had said : but him they saw not. 
 
 25 Then he said to them, O thoughtless, 
 and slow of heart to believe all that the 
 prophets have spoken ! 
 
 26 y Did it not behoove the Christ thus to 
 suffer, and to enter into his glory ? 
 
 27 *And beginning with "Moses, and 'all 
 the prophets, he explained to them in all 
 the scriptures the things concerning him- 
 self. 
 
 28 And they drew near the village whither

 after his resurrection. 
 
 they were going : and 'he made as though 
 he was going further. 
 
 29 But rf they constrained him, saying, 
 Remain with us : for it is towards evening, 
 and the day is far spent. And he went in 
 to remain with them. 
 
 30 And it came to pass, as he reclined at 
 table with them, 'he took bread, and bless- 
 ed it, and breaking, gave to them. 
 
 31 And their eyes were opened, and they 
 knew him: and he ||vanished from their 
 sight. 
 
 32 And they said one to another, Did not 
 our heart burn within us as he spoke to us 
 on the way, and as he was opening to us the 
 scriptures ?_ 
 
 33 And rising the same hour, they return- 
 ed to Jerusalem, and found the eleven as- 
 sembled, and those with them, 
 
 34 Saying, the Lord is indeed risen, and 
 'hath appeared to Simon. 
 
 35 And they recounted what happened 
 on the way, and how he was known by 
 them in the breaking of bread. 
 
 36 If *And as they were speaking thus, 
 Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, 
 and saith to them, Peace be to you. 
 
 37 But, terrified and affrighted, they sup- 
 posed that they saw a *spint. 
 
 38 And he said to them, Why are ye 
 troubled ? and why do such thoughts arise 
 in your hearts ? 
 
 39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it 
 is I myself : 'handle me, and see ; for a 
 spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see 
 me have. 
 
 40 And saying this, he shewed them his 
 hands and his feet. 
 
 41 And while they still disbelieved *from 
 joy, and wondered, he said to them, 'Have 
 ye here any thing to eat? 
 
 42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled 
 fish, and of an honey-comb. 
 
 43 "And he took it, and ate before them. 
 
 44 And he said to them, "These are the 
 words which I spoke to you, while I was 
 yet with you, that all things must be ful- 
 filled which were written in the law of 
 Moses, and in the prophets, and in the 
 psalms, concerning me. 
 
 45 Then he "opened their understanding, 
 that they might understand the scriptures, 
 
 46 And said to them, 'Thus it is written, 
 and thus it was necessary that the Christ 
 should suffer, and should rise from the 
 dead on the third day : 
 
 47 And that repentance and 'remission 
 of sins should be proclaimed in his name 
 to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 
 
 48 And 'ye are witnesses of these things. 
 
 49 If 'And behold, I send the promise of 
 my Father upon you : but do ye tarry in 
 the city of Jerusalem, until ye be clothed 
 with power from on high. 
 
 50 If And he led them out "to Bethany : 
 and he lifted up his hands, and blessed 
 them. 
 
 51 x And it came to pass, while he blessed 
 them, he was parted from them, and borne 
 up into heaven. 
 
 52 "And they ^worshipped him, and re- 
 turned to Jerusalem with great joy: 
 
 53 And were continually *in the temple, 
 praising and blessing God. Amen.

 IT THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO JOHN. 
 
 CHAPTER I. 
 
 1 The divinity, humanity, and office of Jesus Christ. 
 15 The testimony of John. 39 The calling of An- 
 drew, Peter, (J-c. 
 
 IN the beginning "was the Word, and the 
 Word was 'with God, c and the Word 
 was God. 
 
 2 ''This was in the beginning with God. 
 
 3 'All things were made by it; and with- 
 out it nothing was made that was made. 
 
 4 'In it was life; and *the life was the 
 light of men. 
 
 5 And "the light shone in the darkness; 
 and the darkness did not admit it. 
 
 6 If 'There was a man sent from God, 
 whose name was John. 
 
 7 This man came as a witness, to testify 
 concerning the Light, that through him all 
 might believe. 
 
 8 He was not the Light, but came to 
 testify concerning the Light. 
 
 9 'The true Light was he who, coming 
 into the world, enlighteneth every man. 
 
 10 He was in the world, and m the world 
 was made by him, and the world knew 
 him not. 
 
 11 "He came to his own possession, and 
 his own people received him not. 
 
 12 But "as many as received him, believ- 
 ing on his name, to them he gave the pri- 
 vilege of becoming children of God: 
 
 13 'Who were born, not of blood, nor of 
 the will of the flesh, nor of the will of 
 man, but of God. 
 
 14 'And the Word 'became 'flesh, and 
 sojourned among us, (and 'we beheld his 
 glory, a glory as of the only begotten of 
 the Father,) "full of grace and truth. 
 
 15 (""John testifieth concerning him, and 
 crieth, saying, This was he of whom I said, 
 x He who cometh after me, is preferred 
 before me ; "for he was before me.) 
 
 16 And of his *fulness we all received, 
 and Hgrace for grace. 
 
 17 For "the law was given by Moses; 
 the 'grace and the truth came by Jesus 
 Christ. 
 
 18 ''No one hath ever seen God; 'the 
 only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of 
 the Father, he hath declared him. 
 
 19 If And this is 'the testimony of John, 
 when the Jews of Jerusalem sent priests 
 and Levites to ask him, Who art thou ? 
 
 20 And ^he acknowledged, and denied 
 not; but acknowledged, I am not the 
 Christ. 
 
 21 And they asked him, What then ? Art 
 thou "Elijah ? And he saith, I am not 
 Art thou 'the prophet ? And he answered, 
 No. 
 
 22 And they said to him, Who art thou r 
 that we may give an answer to those who 
 sent us. What sayest thou concerning 
 thyself? 
 
 _ 23 *He said, I am The voice of one cry 
 ing in the desert, Make straight the way 
 of the Lord ! as 'said the prophet Isaiah. 
 
 24 And those who were sent were of the 
 Pharisees. 
 
 25 And they asked him, and said to him, 
 Why then immersest thou, if thou art not 
 the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?

 26 John answered them, saying, m I im- 
 merse in water : "but among you standeth 
 one whom ye know not : 
 
 27 "He it is, who coming after me, is pre- 
 ferred before me; whose shoe-latchet I am 
 not worthy to unloose. 
 
 28 This took place p in Bethabara beyond 
 the Jordan, where John was immersing. 
 
 29 f The next day John seeth Jesus 
 coming to him, and saith, Behold 'the 
 Lamb of God, 'that beareth the sin of the 
 world ! 
 
 30 'This is he of whom I said, After me 
 cometh a man who is preferred before me; 
 for he was before me. 
 
 31 And I knew him not: but that he 
 might be made manifest to Israel, 'there- 
 fore am I come immersing in water. 
 
 32 "And John testified, saying, I have 
 seen the Spirit descending from heaven 
 like a dove, and it remained upon him. 
 
 33 And I knew him not: but he who 
 sent me to immerse in water, he said to 
 me, On whomsoever thou seest the Spirit 
 descending and remaining on him, *this is 
 he who immerseth in the Holy Spirit. 
 
 34 And I have seen, and testify, that this 
 is the Son of God. 
 
 35 If Again, the clay after, John was stand- 
 ing with two of his disciples; 
 
 36 And looking upon Jesus as he walked, 
 he saith, »Behold the Lamb of God ! 
 
 37 And the two disciples heard him speak- 
 ing, and they followed Jesus. 
 
 38 And Jesus turning, saw them follow- 
 ing, and saith to them, What seek ye? 
 They said to him, Rabbi, (which, inter- 
 preted, meaneth Teacher,) where abidest 
 thou ? 
 
 39 He saith to them, Come and see. 
 They came and saw where he abode, and 
 remained with him that day: and it was 
 Habout the tenth hour. 
 
 40 One of the two who heard John speak, 
 and followed him, was z Andrew, the bro- 
 ther of Simon Peter. 
 
 41 He first findeth his own brother Simon, 
 and saith to him, We have found the Mes- 
 siah, (which, interpreted, is, ||Christ.) 
 
 42 And he brought him to Jesus. And 
 Jesus, looking at him, said, Thou art Simon 
 the son of Jonah: "thou shalt be called 
 Cephas ; (which, interpreted, is, ||Rock.) 
 
 43 If The day following Jesus wished to 
 go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, 
 and saith to him, Follow me. 
 
 44 Now 'Philip was of Bethsaida, the city 
 of Andrew and Peter. 
 
 45 Philip findeth 'Nathanael, and saith to 
 him, We have found him of whom d Moses 
 in the law, and the "prophets, wrote, Jesus 
 'of Nazareth, the son of Joseph. 
 
 46 And Nathanael said to him, ? Can any 
 thing good come from Nazareth ? Philip 
 saith to him, Come and see. 
 
 47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, 
 and saith of him, Behold *an Israelite in- 
 deed, in whom is no guile ! 
 
 48 Nathanael saith to him,Whence know- 
 est thou me ? Jesus answered and said to 
 him, Before Philip called thee, when thou 
 wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee. 
 
 67 
 
Christ lurneih water into wine. 
 
 49 Nathanael answered and saith to hiin, 
 Rabbi, 'thou art the Son of God ; thou art 
 Hhe King of Israel. 
 
 50 Jesus answered and said to him, Be- 
 cause I said to thee, I saw thee under the 
 fig-tree, believest thou ? thou wilt see 
 greater things than these. 
 
 51 And he saith to him, Verily, verily, I 
 say to you, 'Henceforth ye will see heaven 
 open, and the angels of God ascending and 
 descending on the Son of man. 
 
 CHAPTER II. 
 
 1 Christ turneth water into wine, 12 departeth into 
 Capernaum, and to Jerusalem, 14 where he clear- 
 eth the temple of buyers and sellers. 19 He fore- 
 telleth his death and resurrection. 23 Many be- 
 lieved because of his miracles, but he would not 
 trust himself with them. 
 
 AND on the third day there was a mar- 
 riage in °Cana of Galilee; and the 
 mother of Jesus was there. 
 
 2 And both Jesus and his disciples were 
 invited to the marriage. 
 
 3 And wine failing, the mother of Jesus 
 saith to him, They nave no wine. 
 
 4 Jesus saith to her, 'Woman, 'what have 
 I to do with thee? d my hour is not yet 
 come. 
 
 5 His mother saitli to the servants, What- 
 ever he saith to you , do it. 
 
 6 And there were placed there six water- 
 pots of stone, 'according to the Jewish cus- 
 tom of purification, containing two or three 
 firkins apiece. 
 
 7 Jesus saith to them, Fill the water-pots 
 with water. And they filled them to the 
 brim. 
 
 8 And he saith to them, Draw out now, 
 and bear to the ruler of the feast. And 
 they bore it. 
 
 9 When the ruler of the feast tasted s the 
 water which had been made wine, and 
 knew not whence it was, (but the servants 
 who drew the water knew,) the ruler of 
 the feast calleth to the bridegroom, 
 
 10 And saith to him, Every man first set- 
 teth forth the good wine ; and when they 
 have drunk freely, then the poorer: but 
 thou hast kept the good wine until now. 
 
 11 This beginning of his miracles Jesus 
 made in Cana of Galilee, y and manifested 
 his glory; and his disciples believed on 
 him. 
 
 12 1T. After this he went down to Caper- 
 naum, he, and his mother, and A his brethren, 
 and his disciples; and they remained there 
 not many days. 
 
 13 f 'And the Jews' passover was at hand, 
 and Jesus went up to Jerusalem, 
 
 14 'And found in the temple those who 
 sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the 
 money-changers sitting : 
 
 15 And making a scourge of small cords, 
 he drove them all from the temple, and 
 the sheep, and the oxen ; and poured out 
 the changers' money, and overturned the 
 tables; 
 
 16 And said to those who sold doves, 
 Take these things hence! make not 'my 
 Father's house an house of traffick. 
 
 17 And his disciples remembered that it 
 was written, m Zeal for thy house consumeth 
 me. 
 
 18 ^ Then answered the Jews, and said 
 to him, "What sign shewest thou to us, 
 since thou doest these things?

 19 Jesus answered and said to them, "De- 
 stroy this temple, and in three days I will 
 raise it. 
 
 20 Then said the Jews, In forty-six years 
 was this temple built, and wilt thou rear it 
 in three days ? 
 
 21 But he spoke 'of the temple of his 
 body. 
 
 22 When therefore he was risen from the 
 dead, 'his disciples remembered that he 
 had said this to them : and they believed 
 the scripture, and the word which Jesus 
 had spoken. 
 
 23 ^f Now, when he was in Jerusalem at 
 the passover, in the feast, many believed 
 on his name, beholding the miracles which 
 he did. 
 
 24 But Jesus did not entrust himself to 
 them, because he knew them all, 
 
 25 And needed not that any should tes- 
 tify concerning a man : for 'he himself 
 knew what was in the man. 
 
 CHAPTER III. 
 
 1 Christ teacheth Nicodemus the necessity of regene- 
 ration. 14 Of faith in his death. 16 The great 
 love of God towards the world. 18 Condemnation 
 for unbelief. 23 The immersion, testimony, and 
 teaching of John concerning Christ. 
 
 BUT there was a man of the Pharisees 
 named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: 
 
 2 "This man came to Jesus by night, and 
 said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou art 
 a teacher come from God : for 'no one can 
 do these miracles which thou doest, unless 
 'God be with him. 
 
 3 Jesus answered and said to him, Verily, 
 verily, I say to thee, d Unless a man be born 
 Hagain, he cannot see the kingdom of 
 God. 
 
 4 Nicodemus saith to him, How can a 
 man be born when he is old? can he enter 
 a second time into his mother's womb, and 
 be born ? 
 
 5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say to 
 thee, 'Unless a man be born of water and 
 Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 
 
 6 That which is born of the flesh, is flesh; 
 and that which is born of the Spirit, is 
 spirit. 
 
 7 Wonder not that I said to thee, Ye 
 must be born Hagain. 
 
 8 -The wind bloweth where it will, and 
 thou hearest its voice, but knoyvest not 
 whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: 
 so is every one who is born of the Spirit. 
 
 9 Nicodemus answered and said to him, 
 e Kow can this be ? 
 
 10 Jesus answered and said to him, Art 
 thou the teacher of Israel, and understand- 
 est not this ? 
 
 11 *VeriIy, verily, I say to thee, We speak 
 what we know, and testify what we have 
 seen ; and ye receive not our testimony. 
 
 12 If I have told you earthly things, and 
 ye believe not, how will ye believe if I tell 
 you of heavenly things ? 
 
 13 And *no one hath ascended to heaven, 
 but he who came down from heaven, the 
 Son of man who is in heaven. 
 
 14 f 'And as Moses lifted up the serpent 
 in the desert, so 5must the Son of man be 
 lifted up : 
 
 15 That whoever believeth on him may 
 not perish, but may "have eternal life. 
 
 16 "For God so loved the world, that he 
 gave his only begotten Son, that whoever 
 
John's doctrine concerning Christ, 
 
 believeth on him, should not perish, but 
 have eternal life. 
 
 17 ''For God sent not his Son into the 
 world to condemn the world, but that the 
 world through him might be saved. 
 
 18 'He who believeth on him, is not con- 
 demned: but he who believeth not, is con- 
 demned already, because he hath not be- 
 lieved on the name of the only begotten 
 Son of God. 
 
 19 And this is the condemnation, r that 
 light is come into the world, and men 
 loved darkness rather than light; for their 
 deeds were evil. 
 
 20 For 'every one who doeth evil hateth 
 the light, nor cometh to the light, lest his 
 deeds be discovered. 
 
 21 But he who doeth the truth, cometh 
 to the light, that his deeds may be made 
 manifest, that they are wrought in God. 
 
 22 If After this Jesus and his disciples 
 came into the land of Judea; and there he 
 remained with them, 'and immersed. 
 
 23 ^f And John also was immersing in 
 iEnon, near "Salim, because there was 
 much water there: "'and they came, and 
 were immersed. 
 
 24 For "John was not yet cast into prison. 
 
 25 Jff Now a dispute arose between John's 
 disciples and a Jew, about purification. 
 
 26 And they came to John, and said to 
 him, Rabbi, he who was with thee beyond 
 the Jordan, 2 to whom thou hast borne wit- 
 ness, behold, he immerseth, and all men 
 come to him. 
 
 27 John answered and said, "A man can 
 II receive nothing, unless it is given him 
 from heaven. 
 
 28 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I 
 said, 'I am not the Christ, but c that I am 
 sent before him. 
 
 29 d He who hath the bride, is the bride- 
 groom: but 'the friend of the bridegroom, 
 who standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth 
 greatly at the bridegroom's voice: this my 
 joy therefore is full. 
 
 30 He must increase, and I decrease. 
 
 31 ^He who cometh from above *is above 
 all : *he that is of the earth is earthly, and 
 speaketh of the earth: "he who cometh 
 from heaven is above all. 
 
 32 And *what he hath seen and heard, 
 this he testifieth ; but no one receiveth his 
 testimony. 
 
 S3 He who hath received his testimony, 
 hath attested that God is true. 
 
 34 m For he whom God hath sent, speak- 
 eth the words of God : for God giveth him 
 not the Spirit "by measure. 
 
 35 "The Father loveth the Son, and hath 
 given all into his hand. 
 
 36 'He who believeth on the Son hath 
 everlasting life: and he who believeth not 
 the Son, will not see life; but the wrath 
 of God remaineth on him. 
 
 CHAPTER IV. 
 
 1 Christ talketh with a woman of Samaria, and re- 
 vealeth himself to her. 27 His disciples wonder. 
 31 He declareth to them his zeal to God's glory. 
 39 Many Samaritans believe on him. 43 He de- 
 partelh into Galilee, and healeth the ruler's son 
 that lay sick at Capernaum. 
 
 WHEN now the Lord knew that the 
 Pharisees had heard that Jesus was 
 making and "immersing more disciples 
 than John,

 Christ talketh with a Samaritan. 
 
 2 (Though Jesus himself immersed not, 
 but his disciples,) 
 
 3 He left Judea, and went back into 
 Galilee. 
 
 4 And he was obliged to go through Sa.- 
 maria. 
 
 5 He cometh therefore to a city of Sama- 
 ria, called Sychar, near the field 'which 
 Jacob gave to his son Joseph. 
 
 6 And Jacob's well was there. Jesus 
 therefore being wearied with his journey, 
 thus sat down by the well. It was about 
 the sixth hour. 
 
 7 A woman of Samaria cometh to draw 
 water: Jesus saith to her, Give me to 
 drink. 
 
 8 (For his disciples were gone away to 
 the city to buy food.) 
 
 9 The Samaritan woman therefore saith 
 to him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, 
 askest drink of me, a woman of Samaria? 
 (for 'the Jews have no intercourse with the 
 Samaritans.) 
 
 10 Jesus answered and said to her, If 
 thou knewest the gift of God, and who it 
 is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; 
 thou wouldest have asked of him, and he 
 would have given thee living water. 
 
 11 The woman saith to him, Sir, thou 
 hast no bucket, and the well is deep: 
 whence then hast thou that living water ? 
 
 12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, 
 who gave us the well, and drank of it him- 
 self, and his sons, and his cattle ? 
 
 13 Jesus answered and said to her, Who- 
 ever drinketh of this water will thirst 
 again : 
 
 14 But 'whoever drinketh of the water 
 that I shall give him, shall never thirst; 
 but the water that I shall give him, Avill 
 become in him a well of water springing 
 up to everlasting life. 
 
 15 e The woman saith to him, Sir, give 
 me this water, that I thirst not, nor come 
 hither to draw. 
 
 16 Jesus saith to her, Go call thy hus- 
 band, and come hither. 
 
 17 The woman answered and said, I have 
 no husband. Jesus said to her, Thou saidst 
 well, I have no husband : 
 
 18 For thou hast had five husbands, and 
 he whom thou now hast, is not thy hus- 
 band : thou saidst this truly. 
 
 19 The woman saith to him, Sir, 'I see 
 that thou art a prophet. 
 
 20 Our fathers worshipped in 'this moun- 
 tain ; and ye say, that in 'Jerusalem is the 
 place where we ought to worship. 
 
 21 Jesus saith to her, Woman, believe 
 me, the hour cometh, 'when ye will wor- 
 ship the Father neither in this mountain 
 nor in Jerusalem. 
 
 22 Ye worship what m ye know not : we 
 worship what we know ; for "salvation is 
 from the Jews. 
 
 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, 
 when the true worshippers will worship 
 the Father in "spirit p and truth: for the 
 Father seeketh such to worship him. 
 
 24 'God is a Spirit : and those who wor- 
 ship him, must worship him in spirit and 
 truth. 
 
 25 The woman saith to him, I know that 
 Messiah cometh, (who is called Christ;) 
 when he cometh, r he will announce,- to us 
 all tilings. 
 
 69 
 
Christ's zeal to do the work of God. 
 
 26 Jesus saith to her, *I who speak to 
 thee am he. 
 
 27 If And upon this his disciples came, 
 and wondered that he was talking with a 
 woman : yet none said, What seekest thou ? 
 or, Why talkest thou with her ? 
 
 28 The woman then left her water-pot, 
 and went into the city, and saith to the 
 men, 
 
 29 Come, see a man 'who told me all that 
 I have done : is this the Christ ? 
 
 30 So they went out of the city, and came 
 to him. 
 
 31 % Meanwhile his disciples asked him, 
 saying, Master, eat. 
 
 32 But he said to them, I have food to 
 eat which ye know not. 
 
 33 The disciples then said to each other, 
 Hath any one brought him food ? 
 
 34 Jesus said to them, "My food is to do 
 the will of him who sent me, and to ac- 
 complish his work. 
 
 35 Do ye not say, There are yet four 
 months and harvest cometh ? behold, I say 
 to you, Raise your eyes, and survey the 
 fields; *for they are already white for 
 harvest. 
 
 36 "And he who reapeth receiveth wages, 
 and gathereth fruit to life eternal : that 
 both the sower and the reaper may re- 
 joice together. 
 
 37 For in this the saying is true, One 
 soweth, and another reapeth. 
 
 38 I send you to reap where ye have not 
 laboured: others have laboured, and ye 
 have entered into their labours. 
 
 39 If And many of the Samaritans of that 
 city believed on him *on account of the 
 words of the woman, who testified, He 
 told me all that I have done. 
 
 40 So when the Samaritans came to him, 
 they besought him to remain with them : 
 and he remained there two days. 
 
 41 And many more believed, on account 
 of his own word ; 
 
 42 And said to the woman, We no longer 
 believe on account of thy report: for "we 
 have heard him ourselves, and know that 
 this is truly the Christ, the Saviour of the 
 world. 
 
 43 ^ And after the two days he departed 
 thence, and went into Galilee. 
 
 44 For 'Jesus himself testified, that a 
 prophet hath no honour in his own country. 
 
 45 When therefore he came into Galilee, 
 the Galileans received him, "having seen 
 all that he did at Jerusalem at the feast : 
 d for they also went to the feast. 
 
 46 So Jesus came again into Cana of Ga- 
 lilee, 'where he made the water wine. And 
 there was a certain ||nobleman, whose son 
 was sick at Capernaum. 
 
 47 He healing that Jesus was come from 
 Judea into Galilee, went to him, and asked 
 him to come down, and heal his son : for 
 he was at the point of death. 
 
 48 And Jesus said to him, ^Unless ye 
 see signs and wonders, ye will not believe. 
 
 49 The nobleman saith to him, Sir, come 
 down ere my child die. 
 
 50 Jesus saith to him, Go ; thy son liveth. 
 And the man believed the word that Jesus 
 said to him, and departed. 
 
 51 And as he was now going down, his 
 servants met him, and told him, saying, 
 Thy son liveth.

 He healeth a sick man. 
 
 52 So he inquired of them the hour when 
 he became better. And they said to him, 
 Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever 
 left him. 
 
 53 So the father knew that it was at that 
 hour, in which Jesus said to him, Thy son 
 liveth: and he believed himself, and his 
 whole house. 
 
 54 Again, this second miracle Jesus did, 
 having come from Judea into Galilee. 
 
 CHAPTER V. 
 
 1 Jesus on the Sabbath cureth him who was diseased 
 eight and thirty years. 10 The Jews therefore 
 cavil, and persecute him for it. 17 He answereth 
 for himself, and reproveth them, shewing by the 
 testimony of his Father, 32 of John, 36 of his 
 works, 39 and of the scriptures, who he is. 
 
 AFTER "this there was a feast of the 
 Jews: and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 
 
 2 Now there is at Jerusalem, fc by the 
 sheep gate, a pool, called in Hebrew, Be- 
 thesda, having five porticoes. 
 
 3 In these lay a great multitude of the 
 sick, blind, lame, withered, waiting for the 
 moving of the water. 
 
 4 For an angel went down at certain sea- 
 sons into the pool, and disturbed the water : 
 whoever then first went in after the stirring 
 of the water, became well of whatever 
 disease he had. 
 
 5 And a certain man was there, who had 
 been sick thirty-eight years. 
 
 6 Jesus seeing him lying, and knowing 
 that he had been sick now a long time, 
 saith to him, Wishest thou to become well ? 
 
 7 The sick man answered him, Sir, I 
 have no man, when the water is disturbed, 
 to put me into the pool : but while I am 
 coming, another goeth down before me. 
 
 8 Jesus saith to him, "Arise, take up thy 
 bed, and walk. 
 
 9 And immediately the man became well, 
 and took up his bed, and walked : and d that 
 day was the Sabbath. 
 
 10 If The Jews therefore said to him who 
 was healed, It is the Sabbath; 'it is not 
 lawful for thee to carry thy bed. 
 
 11 He answered them, He who made me 
 well, he said to me, Take up thy bed, and 
 walk. 
 
 12 Then they asked him, Who is the man 
 that said to thee, Take up thy bed, and 
 walk? 
 
 13 And he who was healed knew not 
 who it was: for Jesus had withdrawn, 
 there being a multitude in the place. 
 
 14 After this Jesus findeth him in the 
 temple, and said to him, Behold, thou hast 
 become well : -fein no more, lest a worse 
 thinghappen to thee. 
 
 15 The man went away, and told the 
 Jews that it was Jesus who had made him 
 well. 
 
 16 And therefore the Jews persecuted 
 Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he 
 did this on the Sabbath. 
 
 17 If But Jesus answered them, *My Fa- 
 ther worketh until now, and I work. 
 
 18 Therefore the Jews "sought the more 
 to slay him, because he not only violated 
 the Sabbath, but also called God his Fa- 
 ther, 'making himself equal with God. 
 
 19 Jesus therefore answered and said to 
 them, Verily, verily, I say to you, The Son 
 can do nothing of himself, but only what he 
 seeth the Father do: for whatever he doeth, 
 this also doeth the Son in like manner. 
 
Christ's testimony concerning John. 
 
 20 For 'the Father loveth the Son, and 
 sheweth him all things which he himself 
 doeth: and he will shew him greater works 
 than these, that ye may wonder. 
 
 21 For as the Father raiseth the dead, 
 and giveth them life; m so also the Son 
 giveth life to whom he will. 
 
 22 For neither doth the Father judge any 
 one ; but "hath committed all judgment to 
 the Son : 
 
 23 That all may honour the Son as they 
 honour the Father. "He who honoureth 
 not the Son, honoureth not the Father who 
 sent him. 
 
 24 Verily, verily, I say to you, p He who 
 heareth my word, and believeth on him 
 who sent me, hath everlasting life, and 
 cometh not into condemnation ; 'but hath 
 passed from death to life. 
 
 25 Verily, verily, I say to you, The hour 
 is coming, and now is, when the dead will 
 hear the voice of the Son of God ; and 
 those who hear will live. 
 
 26 For as the Father hath life in himself, 
 so he gave also to the Son to have life in 
 himself; 
 
 27 And 'gave him authority also to execute 
 judgment, 'because he is the Son of man. 
 
 28 Wonder not at this : for the hour is 
 coming, in which afl who are in their 
 graves will hear his voice, 
 
 29 "And will come forth ; those who have 
 done good, to the resurrection of life; and 
 those who have done evil, to the resurrec- 
 tion of condemnation. 
 
 30 "I can do nothing of myself: as I hear, 
 I judge: and my judgment is just; be- 
 cause Z I seek not my own will, but the will 
 of the Father who sent me. 
 
 31 "If I testify concerning myself, my 
 testimony is not true. 
 
 32 If 'There is another who testifieth con- 
 cerning me, and I know that the testimony 
 which he beareth concerning me is true. 
 
 33 Ye have sent to John, 'and he hath 
 testified to the truth. 
 
 34 But I receive not testimony from man : 
 but I say this, that ye may be saved. 
 
 35 He was the burning and the shining 
 light : and e ye were willing for a season to 
 rejoice in his light. 
 
 36 If But the testimony which f I have is 
 greater than that of John : for the works 
 which the Father hath given me to accom- 
 plish, the very works which I do, testify 
 concerning me, that the Father hath sent 
 me. 
 
 37 And the Father who sent me, A hath 
 himself testified concerning me. Ye have 
 never either heard his voice, 'or seen his 
 form. 
 
 38 And ye have not his word remaining 
 in you, that ye believe not him whom he 
 hath sent. 
 
 39 IT *Ye search the scriptures, because 
 ye think that in them ye have eternal life. 
 And these are they which testify concern- 
 ing me ; 
 
 40 m Yet ye will not come to me, that ye 
 may have life. 
 
 41 "I receive not honour from men ; 
 
 42 But I know you, that ye have not the 
 love of God in you. 
 
 . 43 I am come in my Father's name, and 
 ye receive me not : if another come in his 
 own name, him ye will receive.

 CHAPTER VI. 
 
 1 Christ feedeth five thotisand men with five loaves 
 and two fishes. 15 Thereupon the people would 
 have made him king. 16 But withdrawing him- 
 self, he walked on the sea to his disciples : 26 re- 
 proveth the people flocking after him, and all the 
 fleshly hearers of his word : 32 declareth himself 
 to be the bread of life to believers. 66 Many dis- 
 ciples depart from him. 68 Peter confesseth him. 
 70 Judas is an adversary. 
 
 AFTER "this Jesus went over the sea 
 of Galilee, called the sea of Tiberias. 
 
 2 And a great multitude followed him, 
 because they saw his miracles which he 
 did upon the sick. 
 
 3 And Jesus went up into the mountain, 
 and there sat with his disciples. 
 
 4 *And the passover, a feast of the Jews, 
 was nigh. 
 
 _ 5 ^ 'Jesus then raising his eyes, and see- 
 ing a great company come to him, saith to 
 Philip, "Whence shall we buy bread that 
 these may eat? 
 
 6 (And he said this to try him : for he 
 himself knew what he was about to do.) 
 
 7 Philip answered him, d Two hundred 
 pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for 
 them, that each of them may take a little. 
 
 8 One of his disciples, Andrew, brother 
 of Simon Peter, saith to him, 
 
 9 There is a lad here, who hath five bar- 
 ley-loaves, and two small fishes : 'but what 
 are they among so many ? 
 
 10 And Jesus said, Make the men recline. 
 (Now there was much grass in the place.) 
 So the men reclined in number about five 
 thousand. 
 
 11 And Jesus took the loaves ; and hav- 
 ing given thanks, he distributed to the 
 disciples, and the disciples to those reclin- 
 ing, and in like manner of the fishes, as 
 much as they wished. 
 
 12 When they were satisfied, he said to 
 his disciples, Gather up the fragments that 
 remain, that nothing be lost. 
 
 13 So they gathered them up, and filled 
 twelve baskets with the fragments of the 
 five barley-loaves, which remained after 
 they had eaten. 
 
 14 Now the men, seeing the miracle which 
 Jesus did, said, This is truly f the Prophet 
 who cometh into the world. 
 
 15 If Jesus therefore knowing that they 
 were about to come and seize him, to make 
 him a king, retired again by himself alone 
 into the mountain. 
 
 16 g And when evening came, his disciples 
 went down to the sea, 
 
 17 And entering the ship, went over the 
 sea toward Capernaum. And it was now 
 dark, and Jesus had not come to them. 
 
 18 And a great wind blowing, the sea was 
 agitated. 
 
 19 Having therefore rowed about twenty- 
 five or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus 
 walking on the 9ea, and coming near the 
 ship : and they were afraid . 
 
 71 
 
Christ dedarr.th himself to be 
 
 20 But he saith to them, It is I; fear not. 
 
 21 So they gkdly received him into the 
 ship: and immediately the ship came to 
 the land to which they were going. 
 
 22 1f The day following, when the people 
 who stood by the sea-side saw that there 
 was no other boat there, except that one 
 which his disciples entered, and that Jesus 
 did not go with his disciples into the ship, 
 but that his disciples were gone away alone; 
 
 23 (But there came other boats from Ti- 
 berias near the place where they ate bread, 
 the Lord having given thanks :) 
 
 24 When therefore the people saw that 
 Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they 
 also entered the ships, and came to Caper- 
 naum, seeking for Jesus. 
 
 25 And finding him beyond the sea, they 
 said to him, Rabbi, when earnest thou 
 hither ? 
 
 26 Jesus answered them and said, Veri- 
 ly, verily, I say to you, Ye seek me, not 
 because ye saw the miracles, but because 
 ye ate of the loaves, and were satisfied. 
 
 27 || Labour not for the food that perish- 
 eth, but for the food that remaineth to 
 everlasting life, which the Son of man will 
 give you: 'for him hath God the Father 
 approved. 
 
 28 And they said to him, What shall we 
 do, that we may work the works of God ? 
 
 29 Jesus answered and said to them, 
 *This is the work of God, that ye believe 
 on him whom he hath sent. 
 
 30 They said therefore to him, 'What 
 sign shewest thou then, that we may see, 
 and believe thee ? what dost thou work ? 
 
 31 m Our fathers ate manna in the desert ; 
 as it is written, "He gave them bread from 
 heaven to eat. 
 
 32 Then Jesus said to them, Verily, veri- 
 ly, I say to you, Moses did not give you 
 the bread from heaven ; but my Father 
 giveth you the true bread from heaven. 
 
 33 For the bread of God is he who corn- 
 eth down from heaven, and giveth life to 
 the world. 
 
 34 "They said therefore to him, Lord, 
 always give us this bread. 
 
 35 And Jesus said to them, ''I am the 
 bread of life : 'he who cometh to me, will 
 never hunger; and he who believeth on 
 me, will never thirst. 
 
 36 'But I said to you, That ye have even 
 seen me, and believe not. 
 
 57 S A11 that the Father giveth me, will 
 come to me ; and 'him who cometh to me, I 
 will by no means cast out. 
 
 38 For I have come down from heaven, 
 "not to do my own will, x but the will of 
 him who sent me. 
 
 39 And this is the Father's will who sent 
 me, "that of all which he hath given me, I 
 should lose nothing, but should raise it at 
 the last day. 
 
 40 And this is the will of him who sent 
 me, s that every one who seeth the Son, 
 and believeth on him, may have everlasting 
 life : and I will raise him at the last day. 
 
 41 The Jews then murmured at him, 
 because he said, I am the bread that came 
 down from heaven. 
 
 42 And they said, "Is not this Jesus the 
 son of Joseph, whose father and mother 
 we know ? how then doth he say, I have 
 come down from heaven ?

 the bread of life to believers, 
 
 43 Jesus therefore answered and said to 
 them, Murmur not among yourselves. 
 
 44 *No one can come to me, unless the 
 Father who sent me draw him : and I will 
 raise him at the last day. 
 
 45 'It is written in the prophets, And they 
 shall all be taught of God. ''Every one 
 then who heareth from the Father, and 
 learneth, cometh to me. 
 
 46 'Not that any one hath seen the Fa- 
 ther, 'except he who is of God, he hath 
 seen the Father. 
 
 47 Verily, verily, I say to you, *He whe 
 believeth on me hath everlasting life. 
 
 48 *I am the bread of life. 
 
 49 'Your fathers ate manna in the desert, 
 and died. 
 
 50 "This is the bread which cometh down 
 from heaven, that a man may eat of it, and 
 not die. 
 
 51 I am the living bread 'that came down 
 from heaven : if any one eat of this bread, 
 he will live for ever : and m the bread that 
 I will give is my flesh, which I will give 
 for the life of the world. 
 
 52 The Jews therefore "contended among 
 themselves, saying, "How can he give us 
 his flesh to eat ? 
 
 53 Jesus therefor^ said to them, Verily, 
 verily, I say to you, Unless 'ye eat the 
 flesh of the Son of man, and drink his 
 blood, ye have no life in you. 
 
 54 'Whoever eateth my flesh, and drink- 
 eth my blood, hath eternal life ; and I will 
 raise him at the last day. 
 
 55 For my flesh is food indeed, and my 
 blood is drink indeed. 
 
 56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh 
 my blood, r dwelleth in me, and I in him. 
 
 57 As the living Father sent me, and I 
 live by the Father : so he that eateth me, 
 he also shall live by me. 
 
 58 'This is the bread which came down 
 from heaven: not as your fathers ate man- 
 na, and died : he that eateth of this bread 
 will live for ever. 
 
 59 This he said in the synagogue, as he 
 taught in Capernaum. 
 
 60 'Many therefore of his disciples, hear- 
 ing it, said, This is hard language : who 
 can hear it ? 
 
 61 But Jesus knowing in himself that his 
 disciples murmured at it, said to them, 
 Doth this offend you ? 
 
 62 u Hoiv then if ye see the Son of man 
 ascend up where he was before ? 
 
 63 *It is the Spirit that giveth life ; the 
 flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I 
 have spoken to you, are spirit, and are life. 
 
 64 But "there are some of you who believe 
 not. For 'Jesus knew from the beginning 
 who they were that believed not, and who 
 it was that would betray him. 
 
 65 And he said, Therefore "I have said to 
 you, that none can come to me, unless it 
 be given him by my Father. 
 
 66 «[[ 'Upon this, many of his disciples 
 went back, and no longer walked with 
 him. 
 
 67 Jesus therefore said to the twelve, 
 Will ye also go away ? 
 
 68 And Simon Peter answered him, Lord, 
 to whom shall we go ? thou hast 'words ot 
 eternal life. 
 
 69 d And we believe, and know that thou 
 art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 
 
Christ teacheth in the temple. 
 
 70 Jesus answered them, 'Have I not 
 chosen you twelve, ' and one of you is ||an 
 adversary ? 
 
 71 He spoke of Judas Iscariot, the son of 
 Simon: tor it was he who was to betray 
 him, being one of the twelve. 
 
 CHAPTER VII. 
 
 1 Jesus reproveth the ambition and boldness of his 
 kinsmen : 10 goeth up from Galilee to the feast of 
 Wtabernacles: 14 teacheth in the temple. 40 Divers 
 opinions of him among the people. 45 The Phari- 
 sees are angry that their officers took him not, and 
 chide with Nicodemus for taking his part. 
 
 AND Jesus walked after this in Galilee: 
 for he would not walk in Judea, "be- 
 cause the Jews sought to kill him. 
 
 2 'Now the Jews' feast of ((tabernacles 
 was at hand. 
 
 3 'His brethren therefore said to him, 
 Depart hence, and go into Judea, that thy 
 disciples also may see the works which 
 thou doest. 
 
 4 For no one doeth any thing in secret, 
 and yet seeketh himself to be known 
 openly. If thou doest these things, shew 
 thyself to the world. 
 
 5 (For d neither did his brethren believe 
 on him.) 
 
 6 Jesus therefore saith to them, 'My time 
 is not yet come : but your time is always 
 ready. 
 
 7 'The world cannot hate you ; but it 
 hateth me, s because I testify concerning 
 it, that its deeds are evil. 
 
 8 Go ye up to this feast : I do not yet go 
 up to this feast ; ''for my time is not yet 
 fully come. 
 
 9 Saying this to them, he remained in 
 Galilee. 
 
 10 IT But when his brethren were gone 
 up, then he also himself went up to the 
 feast, not openly, but as it were in secret. 
 
 11 Now 'the Jews were seeking him at 
 the feast, and saying, Where is he ? 
 
 12 And 'there was much murmuring 
 about him among the people. 'Some said, 
 He is a good man: others said, Nay; but 
 he leadeth astray the people. 
 
 13 None however spoke openly concern- 
 ing him, m for fear of the Jews. 
 
 14 1J But now at the middle of the feast, 
 Jesus went up into the temple and taught. 
 
 15 "And the Jews wondered, saying, How 
 knoweth this man ||the scriptures, having 
 never learned them ? 
 
 16 Jesus answered them, and said, "My 
 teaching is not mine, but his who sent me. 
 
 17 p If any one will do his will, he will 
 know concerning my teaching, whether it 
 is of God, or whether I speak from myself. 
 
 18 «He who speaketh from himself, seek- 
 eth his own glory : but he who seeketh the 
 glory of him who sent him, he is true, and 
 there is no unrighteousness in him. 
 
 19 r Hath not Moses given you the law, 
 and yet none of you keepeth the law? 
 'Why do ye seek to kill me ? 
 
 20 The people answered and said, 'Thou 
 hast a demon : who seeketh to kill thee ? 
 
 21 Jesus answered and said to them, I 
 have done one work, and ye all wonder at 
 this. 
 
 22 "Moses hath given you circumcision, 
 (not that it is of Moses, *but of the fathers ;) 
 and on the Sabbath ye circumcise a man. 
 
 23 If a man receiveth circumcision on the

 Sabbath, || that the law of Moses be not 
 violated; are ye angry at me, because »I 
 have made a man entirely well on the Sab- 
 bath? 
 
 24 'Judge not according to appearance, 
 but judge with righteous judgment. 
 
 25 Then said some of those of Jerusalem, 
 Is not this he whom they seek to kill ? 
 
 26 But lo, he speaketh openly, and they 
 say nothing to him. "Do the rulers indeed 
 acknowledge that this is truly the Christ ? 
 
 27 'But we know this man, whence he is: 
 but when the Christ cometh, no one know- 
 eth whence he is. 
 
 28 Jesus therefore cried in the temple, as 
 he taught, saying, 'Ye both know me, and 
 ye know whence I am : and d I am not come 
 of myself, but he who sent me 'is true, 
 'whom ye know not ! 
 
 29 But S I know him ; for I am from him, 
 and he sent me. 
 
 30 Therefore Hhey sought to take him : 
 but 'no one laid hands on him, because his 
 hour was not yet come. 
 
 31 But 'many of the people believed on 
 him, and said, When the Christ cometh, 
 will he do more miracles than these which 
 this man hath done ? 
 
 32 If The Pharisees heard the people mur- 
 muring thus concerning him : and the Pha- 
 risees and the chief priests sent officers to 
 take him. 
 
 Jesus therefore said to them, 'Yet a 
 little while I am with you, and I go to him 
 who sent me. 
 
 34 Ye m will seek me, and will not find 
 me : and where I am, ye cannot come. 
 
 35 The Jews then said among themselves, 
 Where is he going, that we shall not find 
 him ? Is he going to "those dispersed among 
 the Greeks, to teach the Greeks ? 
 
 36 What is this word which he spoke, Ye 
 will seek me, and will not find me : and 
 where I am ye cannot come? 
 
 37 "And on the last, the great day of the 
 feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, p If any 
 one thirst, let him come to me and drink ! 
 
 38 ? He who believeth on me, as the scrip- 
 ture hath said, r from his belly shall flow 
 rivers of living water. 
 
 39 ('But this he spoke concerning the 
 Spirit, which those who believed on him 
 were to receive, for the Holy Spirit was 
 not yet given, because Jesus was not yet 
 glorified.) 
 
 40 H Many of the people therefore, hear- 
 ing these words, said, This is truly "the 
 Prophet. 
 
 41 Others said, 'This is the Christ. But 
 others said, Doth the Christ come y from 
 Galilee ? 
 
 42 r Doth not the scripture say that the 
 Christ cometh from the seed of David, 
 and from the town of Bethlehem, "where 
 David was ? 
 
 43 So 'there arose a division among the 
 people on account of him. 
 
 44 And 'some of them wished to seize 
 him ; but no one laid hands on him. 
 
 45 If Then came the officers to the chief 
 priests and Pharisees ; and they said to 
 them, W r hy have ye not brought him ? 
 
 46 The officers answered, d Never man 
 spoke like this man ! 
 
 47 The Pharisees therefore answered 
 them. Are ve also led astrav?

Girist rescueth the adiclterous woman. 
 
 48 "Hath any of the rulers, or of the Pha- 
 risees believed on him ? 
 
 49 But this people who knoweth not the 
 law are cursed. 
 
 50 Nicodemus saith to them, ('he who 
 came to him by night, being one of them,) 
 
 51 fDoth our law condemn a man before 
 it hear him, and know what he doeth? 
 
 52 They answered and said to him, Art 
 thou also of Galilee? Search, and see that 
 no prophet hath arisen "from Galilee. 
 
 53 And each one went to his own house; 
 
 CHAPTER VIII. 
 
 1 Christ delivereth the woman taken in adultery. 
 12 He proclaimeth himself the light of the world, 
 and justifieth his doctrine : 33 answer eth the Jews 
 that boasted of Abraham, 59 and convey eth himself 
 from their cruelty. 
 
 AND Jesus went to the mount of Olives. 
 2 And early in the morning he came 
 again into the temple, and all the people 
 came to him ; and he sat down and taught 
 them. 
 
 3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought 
 to him a woman taken in adultery: and 
 placing her in the midst, 
 
 4 They say to him, Teacher, this woman 
 was taken in the very act of adultery. 
 
 5 "Now Moses in the law commanded us, 
 that such should be stoned: what then 
 sayest thou ? 
 
 6 This they said, trying him, that they 
 might be able to accuse him. But Jesus 
 stooped down, and with his finger wrote 
 on the ground. 
 
 7 But as they continued asking him, he 
 raised himself, and said to them, 'Let him 
 who is without sin among you, first cast a 
 stone at her. 
 
 8 And again stooping down, he wrote on 
 the ground. 
 
 9 And those who heard it, 'being con- 
 victed by their own conscience, went out 
 one by one, beginning at the eldest, to the 
 last: and Jesus was left alone, and the 
 woman standing in the midst. 
 
 10 And Jesus raising himself, and seeing 
 none but the woman, said to her, Woman, 
 where are those thine accusers ? hath none 
 condemned thee ? 
 
 11 She said, No one, Lord. And Jesus 
 said to her, rf Nor do I condemn thee : go, 
 and 'sin no more. 
 
 12 If Again therefore Jesus spoke to them, 
 saying, 'I am the light of the world : he 
 who followeth me shall not walk in dark- 
 ness, but shall have the light of life. 
 
 13 The Pharisees therefore said to him, 
 s Thou testifiest concerning thyself; thy 
 testimony is not true. 
 
 14 Jesus answered and said to them, 
 Though I testify concerning myself, my 
 testimony is true: for I know whence I 
 came, and whither I go : but h ye know not 
 whence I come, and whither I go. 
 
 15 'Ye judge according to the flesh, *I 
 judge no one. 
 
 16 And yet if I judge, my judgment is 
 true: for 'I am not alone, but I and the 
 Father who sent me. 
 
 17 "And in your law too it is written, 
 that the testimony of two men is true. 
 
 18 I am one that testify concerning my- 
 self; and "the Father who sent me, testi- 
 fied! concerning me. 
 
 19 And they said to him, Where is thy

 Be declareth his authority. 
 
 Father f Jesus answered, "Ye neither know 
 me, nor my Father : 'if ye knew me, ye 
 would also know my Father. 
 
 20 These words Jesus spoke in 'the trea- 
 sury, while teaching in the temple: and 
 r no one seized him, because 'his hour was 
 not yet come. 
 
 21 Now again Jesus said to them, I go 
 away, and 'ye will seek me, and "will die 
 in your sins: where I go, ye cannot come. 
 
 22 Then said the Jews, Will he kill him- 
 self, that he saith, Where I go, ye cannot 
 come? 
 
 23 And he said to them, *Ye are from 
 below ; I am from above : "ye are of this 
 world; I am not of this world. 
 
 24 'I said therefore to you, that ye will 
 die in your sins: "for if ye believe not that 
 I am he, ye will die in your sins. 
 
 25 They said then to him, Who art thou ? 
 And Jesus saith to them, That which I 
 said to you from the beginning. 
 
 26 I have much to say, and to judge con- 
 cerning you: but 'he who sent me, is true; 
 and 'I say that to the world which I have 
 heard from him. 
 
 27 They understood not that he spoke to 
 them of the Father. 
 
 28 Jesus therefore said to them, When 
 ye have ''lifted up the Son of man, 'then ye 
 will know that I am he, and 'do nothing 
 of myself, but speak these things s as my 
 Father hath taught me. 
 
 29 And *he who sent me is with me: 'the 
 Father hath not left me alone; *for 1 always 
 do that which pleaseth him. 
 
 30 As he spoke this, 'many believed on 
 him. 
 
 31 Jesus therefore said to those Jews who 
 believed on him, If ye continue in my word, 
 ye are truly my disciples ; 
 
 32 And ye shall know the truth, and m the 
 truth will make you free. 
 
 33 If They answered him, "We are the 
 offspring of Abraham, and were never in 
 bondage to any one : how sayest thou, Ye 
 shall become free ? 
 
 34 Jesus answered them", Verily, verily, 
 I say to you, "Whoever committeth sin, is 
 the servant of sin. 
 
 35 And p the servant remaineth not in 
 the house for ever ; the Son remaineth for 
 ever. 
 
 36 'If the Son therefore make you free, 
 ye will be free indeed. 
 
 37_ I know that ye are Abraham's off- 
 spring; but r ye seek to kill me, because 
 my word hath no place in you. 
 
 38 'I speak what I have seen with my 
 Father: and ye do what ye have seen with 
 your father. 
 
 39 They answered and said to him, 'Our 
 father is Abraham. Jesus saith to them, 
 "If ye were children of Abraham, ye would 
 do the works of Abraham. 
 
 40 *But now ye seek to kill me, a man 
 who hath told you the truth, "which I heard 
 from God : this did not Abraham. 
 
 41 Ye do the deeds of your father. They 
 said then to him, We are not born of for- 
 nication; z wejjave one Father, God. 
 
 42 Jesus said to them, "If God were your 
 Father, ye would love me: *for I came 
 forth from God, and am come from him ; 
 'nor have I come of myself, bu* he sent 
 me 
 
The Jews accuse Jesus of madness. 
 
 43 d Why do ye not understand my speech? 
 because ye cannot hear my word. 
 
 44 'Ye are of your father the devil, and 
 ye choose to do the desires of your father: 
 he was a murderer from the beginning, and 
 'abideth not in the truth; because there is 
 no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, 
 he speaketh after his own way : for he is a 
 liar, and the father of it. 
 
 45 And because I tell you the truth, ye 
 believe me not. 
 
 46 Who of you convicteth me of sin? 
 And if I say the truth, why do ye not be- 
 lieve me ? 
 
 47 ff He who is of God, heareth God's 
 words : ye on this account hear them not, 
 because ye are not of God. 
 
 48 The Jews therefore answered, and 
 said to him, Say we not well that thou art 
 a Samaritan, and *hast a demon ? 
 
 49 Jesus answered, I have not a demon ; 
 but I honour my Father, and ye dishonour 
 me. 
 
 m 50 And 'I seek not my own glory: there 
 is one that seeketh and judgeth. 
 
 51 Verily, verily, I say to you, *If a man 
 keep my word, he shall never see death. 
 
 52 The Jews then said to him, Now we 
 know that thou hast a demon. 'Abraham 
 died, and the prophets ; and thou sayest, 
 If a man keep my word, he shall never 
 taste of death ! 
 
 53 Art thou greater than our father Abra- 
 ham, who died ? and the prophets died : 
 whom makest thou thyself? 
 
 54 Jesus answered, m If I honour myself, 
 my honour is nothing: "it is my Father 
 that honoureth me, of whom ye say, that 
 he is your God. 
 
 55 Yet °ye have not known him; but I 
 know him : and if I say, I know him not, 
 I shall be a liar like you : but I know him, 
 and keep his word. 
 
 56 Your father Abraham p rejoiced that he 
 should see my day: 'and he saw it, and 
 was glad. 
 
 57 The Jews then said to him, Thou art 
 not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen 
 Abraham ? 
 
 58 Jesus said to them, Verily, verily, I 
 say to you, Before Abraham was, 'I am. 
 
 59 Therefore they 5 took up stones to 
 throw at him : but Jesus hid himself, and 
 went out of the temple, 'going through the 
 midst of them, and so passed by. 
 
 CHAPTER IX. 
 
 1 The man that was born blind restored to sight. 
 8 He is brought to the Pharisees. 13 They are 
 offended at it, and excommunicate him : 35 but he is 
 received by Jesus, and acknowledgeth him. 39 Who 
 they are whom Christ enlighteneth. 
 
 AND as he passed on, he saw a man 
 blind from his birth. 
 
 2 And his disciples asked him, saying, 
 Master, "who sinned, this man, or his pa- 
 rents, that he was born blind ? _ 
 
 3 Jesus answered, Neither this man sin- 
 ned, nor his parents ; 'but that the works 
 of God might be made manifest in him. 
 
 4 C I must work the works of him who 
 sent me, while it is day : the night cometh, 
 when none can work.

 of the world.

 The blind man's sight restored 
 
 make clay of the spittle, and ||anointed 
 with the clay the eyes of the blind man, 
 
 7 And said to him, Go, wash them 'in 
 the pool of Siloam, (which interpreted, is 
 Sent.) e He went therefore, and washed 
 them, and came seeing. 
 
 8 If The neighbours therefore, and those 
 who before had seen him that he was 
 llblind, said, Is not this he who sat and 
 begged ? 
 
 9 Some said, This is he : others said, He 
 is like him : but he said, I am he. 
 
 10 Therefore said they to him, How were 
 thine eyes opened ? 
 
 11 He answered and said, h A man called 
 Jesus, made clay, and anointed mine eyes, 
 and said to me, Go to the pool of Siloam, 
 and wash them : and I went and washed 
 them, and received sight. 
 
 12 And they said to him, Where is he ? 
 He said, I know not. 
 
 13 ^ They bring to the Pharisees him 
 who before was blind. 
 
 14 And it was the Sabbath when Jesus 
 made the clay, and opened his eyes. 
 
 15 Again therefore the Pharisees also 
 asked him how he received his sight. He 
 said to them, He put clay on my eyes, and 
 I washed them, and see. 
 
 16 Some of the Pharisees therefore said, 
 This man is not from God, because he 
 keepeth not the Sabbath. Others said, 
 'How can a sinful man do such miracles ? 
 And 'there was a division among them. 
 
 17 They say again to the blind man, What 
 sayest thou of him, that he opened thine 
 eyes ? He said, 'He is a prophet. 
 
 18 But the Jews did not believe concern- 
 ing him, that he was blind, and received 
 his sight, until they called the parents of 
 him who had received his sight. 
 
 19 And they asked them, saying, Is this 
 your son, who ye say was born blind ? How 
 then doth he now see ? 
 
 20 His parents answered them and said, 
 We know that this is our son, and that he 
 was born blind : 
 
 21 But how he now seeth, we know not ; 
 or who opened his eyes, we know not : he 
 is of age; ask him: he will speak for himself. 
 
 22 His parents said this, because m they 
 feared the Jews : for the Jews had agreed 
 already, that if any one acknowledged 
 him as the Christ, he "should be put out of 
 the synagogue. 
 
 23 Therefore said his parents, He is of 
 age; ask him. 
 
 24 Now a second time they called the 
 man who was blind, and said to him, "Give 
 God the praise : r we know that this man is 
 a sinner. 
 
 25 He answered and said, Whether he is 
 a sinner, I know not : one thing I know, 
 that, being once blind, I now see. 
 
 26 And they said to him again, What did 
 he to thee ? how opened he thine eyes ? 
 
 27 He answered them, I have told you 
 already, and ye did not hear: why will ye 
 hear it again ? will ye also become his dis- 
 ciples ? 
 
 28 Then they reviled him, and said, Thou 
 art his disciple; but we are disciples of 
 Moses. 
 
 29 We know that God hath spoken to 
 Moses ; but as to this man, 'we know not 
 whence he is. 
 
 To 
 
Christ is the door, 
 
 30 The man answered and said to them, 
 r Why, in this is a wonderful thing, that ye 
 know not whence he is, and yet he hath 
 opened mine eyes. 
 
 31 And we know that "God heareth not 
 sinners : but if any one be a worshipper of 
 God, and do his will, him he heareth. 
 
 32 Since the world began it was not heard 
 that any man opened the eyes of one born 
 blind. 
 
 33 'If this man were not from God, he 
 could do nothing. 
 
 34 They answered and said to him, "Thou 
 wert wholly born in sins, and dost thou 
 teach us ? And they ||cast him out. 
 
 35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out: 
 and finding him, he said to him, Dost thou 
 believe on *fhe Son of God ? 
 
 36 He answered and said, Who is he, 
 Lord, that I may believe on him ? 
 
 37 And Jesus said to him, Thou hast both 
 seen him, and "it is he who talketh with 
 thee. 
 
 38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he 
 worshipped him. 
 
 39 t And Jesus said, *For judgment I am 
 come into this world ; "that those who see 
 not may see, and those who see, may be- 
 come blind. 
 
 40 And those of the Pharisees who were 
 with him heard this, 'and said to him, Are 
 we also blind ? 
 
 41 Jesus said to them, c If ye were blind, 
 ye would not have sin : but now ye say, 
 We see ; therefore your sin remaineth. 
 
 CHAPTER X. 
 
 1 Christ is the door, and the good shepherd. 19 Vari- 
 ous opinions of him. 24 He proveth by his works 
 that he is Christ the Son of God: 39 escapeth the 
 Jews, 40 and went again beyond Jordan, where 
 many believed on him. 
 
 VERILY, verily, I say to you, He who 
 entereth not by the door into the sheep- 
 fold, but climbeth up some other way, ne 
 is a thief and a robber. 
 
 2 But he who entereth in by the door, is 
 the shepherd of the sheep. 
 
 3 To him the porter openeth; and the 
 sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his 
 own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. 
 
 4 And when he putteth forth hisown sheep, 
 he goeth before them, and the sheep follow 
 him, because they know his voice. 
 
 5 But a stranger they will not follow, but 
 will flee from him : because they know not 
 the voice of strangers. 
 
 6 This parable Jesus spoke to them : but 
 they understood not what it was which he 
 was speaking to them. 
 
 7 Jesus therefore said to them again, Veri- 
 , verily, I say to you, I am the door of 
 e sheep. 
 
 8 All who have come before me are thieves 
 and robbers : but the sheep did not hear 
 them. 
 
 9 "I am the door : by me if any one enter, 
 he will be saved, ana will go in and out, 
 and find pasture. 
 
 10 The thief cometh not, but to steal, 
 and kill, and destroy: I am come that 
 they may have life, and that they may have 
 it abundantly. 
 
 11 h I am the good shepherd : the good 
 shepherd giveth nis life for the sheep. 
 
 12 But the hireling, who is not the shep- 
 herd, whose own the sheep are not. seeth

 and the good shepherd. 
 the wolf coming, and 'leaveth the sheep, 
 
 them, 
 
 and fleeth; and the wolf seizeth 
 and scattereth the sheep. 
 
 13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an 
 hireling, and careth not for the sheep. 
 
 14 I am the good shepherd, and d know 
 my sheep, and am known by mine, 
 
 15 °As the Father knoweth me, and I 
 know the Father : %id I lay down my life 
 for the sheep. 
 
 16 And I have e other sheep, which are 
 not of this fold : these also 1 must bring ; 
 and they will hear my voice, "and there 
 will become one fold, one shepherd. 
 
 17 Therefore my Father loveth me, 'be- 
 cause I lay down my life, that I may take 
 it again. 
 
 18 No one taketh it from me, but I lay it 
 down of myself. I have power to lay it 
 down, and I *have power to take it again. 
 1 This command I have received from my 
 Father. 
 
 19 If "Again then there arose a divi- 
 sion among the Jews on account of these 
 words. 
 
 20 And many of them said, n He hath a 
 demon, and is mad ; why hear ye him ? 
 
 21 Others said, These are not the words 
 of one who hath a demon. "Can a demon 
 p open the eyes of the blind ? 
 
 22 f And the feast of the dedication took 
 place at Jerusalem, and it was winter. 
 
 23 And Jesus was walking in the temple 
 r in the porch of Solomon. 
 
 24 The Jews therefore surrounded him, 
 and said to him, How long dost thou ||keep 
 us in doubt ? If thou art the Christ, tell 
 us plainly. 
 
 25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and 
 ye believe not : ' the works which I do in 
 my Father's name, these bear witness of 
 me. 
 
 26 But 'ye believe not, because ye are not 
 of my sheep, as 1 said to you. 
 
 27 "My sheep hear my voice, and I know 
 them, and they follow me : 
 
 28 And I give to them eternal life ; and 
 *they shall never perish ; none shall pluck 
 them from my hand. 
 
 29 y My Father, 'who gave them me, is 
 greater than all ; and none can pluck them 
 from my Father's hand. 
 
 30 a I and my Father are one. 
 
 31 Again therefore 'the Jews took up 
 stones to stone him. 
 
 32 Jesus answered them, Many good 
 works have I shewed you from my Fa- 
 ther ; for which of those works do ye stone 
 me? 
 
 33 The Jews answered him, saying, For 
 a good work we stone thee not; but for 
 blasphemy, and because that thou, being a 
 man, c makest thyself God. 
 
 34 Jesus answered them, rf Is it not writ- 
 ten in your law, I said, Ye are gods ? 
 
 35 If he called them gods, e to whom the 
 word of God came, and the scripture can- 
 not be annulled ; 
 
 36 Say ye of him Avhom the Father con- 
 secrated, and ^sent into the world, Thou 
 blasphemest; ibecause I said, I am 'the 
 Son of God ? 
 
 57 'If I do not the works of my Father, 
 believe me not. 
 
 38 But if I do, even though ye believe not 
 me, 'believe the works: that ye may know 
 
Sickness and death of Lazarus. 
 
 and believe m that the Father is in me, and 
 I in him. 
 
 39 "Therefore they sought again to take 
 him ; but he escaped from their hand, 
 
 40 And went away again beyond the Jor- 
 dan, into the place "where John at first im- 
 mersed, and remained there. 
 
 41 And many resorted to him, and said, 
 John indeed did no miracle ; ''but all that 
 John spoke of this man was true. 
 
 42 'And many believed on him there. 
 
 CHAPTER XI. 
 
 1 Christ raiseth Lazarus, four days buried. 45 Many 
 Jews believe. 47 The high priests and Pharisees 
 gather a council against Christ. 49 Caiaphas pro- 
 phesieth. 54 Jesus hid himself. 55 At the passover 
 they inquire after him, and lay wait for him. 
 
 NOW a certain man was sick, named 
 Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of 
 "Mary and her sister Martha. 
 
 2 ('It was that Mary who anointed the 
 Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet 
 with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was 
 sickj 
 
 3 Therefore his sisters sent to him, say- 
 ing, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is 
 sick. 
 
 4 And Jesus hearing it, said, This sick- 
 ness is not to death, c but for the glory of 
 God, that the Son of God may be glorified 
 by it. 
 
 5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sis- 
 ter, and Lazarus. 
 
 6 When therefore he heard that he was 
 sick, d he remained two days in the place 
 where he was. 
 
 7 Then after this he saith to his disciples, 
 Let us go back into Judea. 
 
 8 His disciples say to him, Master, e the 
 Jews were just now seeking to stone thee; 
 and goest thou thither again ? 
 
 9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve 
 hours in the day? -^If any one walk in the 
 day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth 
 the light of this world. 
 
 10 But g if a man walk in the night, he 
 stumbleth, because he hath no light. 
 
 11 He said this: and after this he saith 
 to them, Our friend Lazarus ''sleepeth; 
 but I go that I may awake him. 
 
 12 And his disciples said, Lord, if he 
 sleepeth, he will recover. 
 
 13 But Jesus spoke of his death: but they 
 thought that he spoke of the repose of sleep. 
 
 14 Then Jesus said to them plainVy, La- 
 zarus is dead. 
 
 15 And I am glad for your sakes that I 
 was not there, that ye may believe; but let 
 us go to him. 
 
 16 Then said Thomas, called Didymus, 
 to his fellow-disciples, Let us also go, that 
 we may die with him. 
 
 17 Now Jesus, when he came, found that 
 he had been already four days in the grave. 
 
 18 (And Bethany was near Jerusalem, 
 Habout fifteen furlongs off:) 
 
 19 And many of the Jews had come to 
 Martha and Mary, to console them for 
 their brother. 
 
 20 Now Martha, when she heard that 
 Jesus was coming, went to meet him : but 
 Mary sat in the house. 
 
 21 And Martha said to Jesus, Lord, if 
 thou hadst been here, my brother had not 
 died. 
 
 22 But even now I know that 'whatever

 Christ restoreth him to life. 
 
 thou shalt ask of God, God will give 
 thee. 
 
 23 Jesus saith to her, Thy brother shall 
 rise again. 
 
 24 Martha saith to him, *I know that he 
 will rise in the resurrection at the last day. 
 
 25 Jesus said to her, I am 'the resurrec- 
 tion and the m life: "he who believeth on 
 me, even though he were dead, shall live. 
 
 26 And whoever liveth, and believeth on 
 me, shall never die. Believest thou this ? 
 
 27 She saith to him, Yea, Lord: °I be- 
 lieve that thou art the Christ, the Son of 
 God, who cometh into the world. 
 
 28 And saying this, she went and called 
 Mary her sister secretly, saying, The 
 Teacher is come, and calleth for thee. 
 
 29 When she heard it, she arose quickly, 
 and came to him. 
 
 30 But Jesus was not yet come into the 
 town, but was in the place where Martha 
 met him. 
 
 31 'The Jews then who were with her in 
 the house, and consoling her, seeing that 
 Mary arose hastily, and went out, followed 
 her, saying, she goeth to the grave to weep 
 there. 
 
 32 Now when Mary came where Jesus 
 was, and saw him, she fell at his feet, say- 
 ing to him, 'Lord, if thou hadst been here, 
 my brother had not died. 
 
 33 Jesus, therefore, when he saw her 
 weeping, and the Jews weeping who came 
 with her, groaned in spirit, and twas trou- 
 bled, 
 
 34 And said. Where have ye laid him? 
 They say to him, Lord, come and see. 
 
 35 'Jesus wept. 
 
 36 The Jews therefore said, Behold how 
 he loved him ! 
 
 37 And some of Ihem said, Could not he 
 'who opened the eyes of the blind, have 
 caused that even this man should not die ? 
 
 38 Jesus therefore again groaning in him- 
 self, cometh to the grave. It was a cave, 
 and a stone lay upon it. 
 
 39 Jesus said, Take away the stone. 
 Martha, the sister of the dead, saith to 
 him, Lord, by this time he is offensive : for 
 he hath been dead four days. 
 
 40 Jesus saith to her, Did I not say to 
 thee, that if thou wouldest believe, thou 
 shouldest 'see the glory of God ? 
 
 41 So they took away the stone from the 
 
 ?lace where the dead was lying. And 
 esus raised upward his eyes, and said, 
 Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me: 
 
 42 And I knew that thou hearest me 
 always : but "I speak for the sake of the 
 people who stand by, that they may believe 
 that thou hast sent me. 
 
 43 And saying this, he cried with a loud 
 voice, Lazarus, come forth ! 
 
 44 And the dead came forth, bound hand 
 and foot with grave-clothes : and *his face 
 was bound about with a napkin. Jesus 
 saith to them, Loose him, and let him go. 
 
 45 Therefore many of the Jews who came 
 to Mary, »and saw what Jesus did, believed 
 on him. 
 
 46 But some of them went to the Phari- 
 sees, and told them what Jesus had done. 
 
 47 11 'Therefore the chief priests and the 
 Pharisees assembled a council, and said, 
 "What do we? for this man doeth many 
 miracles. 
 
 77 
 
Mary anointeth the feet of Jesus. 
 
 48 If we let him go on thus, all will be- 
 lieve on him : and the Romans will come, 
 and take away both our place and nation. 
 
 49 And one of them, named 'Caiaphas, 
 being high priest for that year, said to 
 them, Ye know nothing, 
 
 50 c Nor consider that it is expedient for 
 us, that one man die for the people, and 
 that the whole nation perish not. 
 
 51 (But this he said not of himself: but 
 being high priest that year, he prophesied 
 that Jesus was about to die for the nation ; 
 
 52 And d not, for that nation only, "but 
 that he might also gather in one the scat- 
 tered children of God.) 
 
 53 From that day, therefore, they con- 
 spired together to slay him. 
 
 54 Jesus ■''therefore no longer walked 
 openly among the Jews ; but went thence 
 into the country near the desert, into a 
 city called ff Ephraim, and there continued 
 with his disciples. 
 
 55 "If "And the Jews' passover was near : 
 and many from the country went up to 
 Jerusalem before the passover, to purify 
 themselves. 
 
 56 'Now they were seeking Jesus, and 
 saying among themselves, as they stood in 
 the temple, What think ye, that he will 
 not come to the feast ? 
 
 57 And the chief priests and the Phari- 
 sees had also given a command, that, if 
 any one knew where he was, he should 
 point it out, that they might take him. 
 
 CHAPTER XII. 
 
 I Jesus excuseth Mary anointing his feet. 9 The peo- 
 ple flock to see Lazarus. 10 The high priests con- 
 sult to kill him. 12 Christ rideth into Jerusalem. 
 20 Greeks desire to see Jesus. 23 He foretelleth 
 his death. 37 The Jeics are generally blinded: 
 42 yet many chief rulers believe, but do not con- 
 fess him: 44 therefore Jesus calleth earnestly for 
 confession of faith. 
 
 NOW Jesus, six days before the pass- 
 over, came to Bethany, "where Laza- 
 rus w r as who had died, whom he raised 
 from the dead. 
 
 2 'There they made him a supper; and 
 Martha served : but Lazarus was one of 
 those who reclined with him at table. 
 
 3 Then c Mary, taking a pound of oint- 
 ment of pure, costly nard, anointed the 
 feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her 
 hair : and the house was filled with the 
 odour of the ointment. 
 
 4 Then saith one of his disciples, Judas 
 Iscariot, Simon's son, who was about to 
 betray him, 
 
 5 Why was not this ointment sold for 
 three hundred pence, and given to the 
 poor ? 
 
 6 This he said, not that he cared for the 
 poor ; but because he was a thief, and d had 
 the purse, and carried what was put into it. 
 
 7 Jesus therefore said, Let her alone: 
 she hath kept this for the day of my burial. 
 
 8 For 'the poor ye have always with you ; 
 but me ye have not always. 
 
 9 Now a great multitude of the Jews 
 knew that he was there: and they came, 
 not only on account of Jesus, but also to 
 see Lazarus, 'whom he had raised from 
 the dead. 
 
 10 If *But the chief priests consulted that 
 they might also slay Lazarus ; 
 
 11 "Because on account of him many of 
 the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.

 Christ prayeth to his Father. 
 
 12 If ''On the next day, a great multitude 
 that had come to the feast, hearing that 
 Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, 
 
 13 Took branches of palm-trees, and 
 went forth to meet him, and cried, *Ho- 
 sanna ! Blessed is the King of Israel who 
 cometh in the name of the Lord ! 
 
 14 'And Jesus, finding a young ass, sat 
 upon it; as it is written, 
 
 15 m Fear not, daughter of Zion: behold, 
 thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt. 
 
 16 And his disciples at first "did not un- 
 derstand this : "but when Jesus was glori- 
 fied, ^tliey then remembered that this was 
 written of him, and that they did this to 
 him. 
 
 17 The multitude therefore that was with 
 him, testified that he called Lazarus from 
 the tomb, and raised him from the dead. 
 
 18 «For this reason also the multitude 
 met him, because they heard that he had 
 done this miracle. 
 
 19 The Pharisees therefore said among 
 themselves, r Do ye see that ye avail no- 
 thing ? behold, the world is gone after him. 
 
 20 If And there 'were certain Greeks 
 among those 'who came up to worship at 
 the feast. 
 
 21 These therefore came to Philip, "who 
 was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked 
 him, saying, Sir, we wish to see Jesus. 
 
 22 Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: 
 and again, Andrew and Philip tell Jesus. 
 
 23 ^f And Jesus answered them, saying, 
 "The hour is come, that the Son of man 
 should be glorified. 
 
 24 Verily, verily, I say to you, ^Unless 
 the grain of wheat fall into the ground and 
 die, it remaineth alone : but if it die, it 
 beareth much fruit. 
 
 25 z He who loveth his life will lose it; 
 and he who hateth his life in this world, 
 will keep it for life eternal. 
 
 26 If any man serve me, let him follow 
 me ; and "where I am, there shall also my 
 servant be : if any one serve me, him will 
 my Father honour. 
 
 27 *Now is my soul troubled ; and what 
 shall I say? Father, save me from this 
 hour! c but for this cause I came to this 
 hour. 
 
 28 Father, glorify thy name. d There came 
 then a voice from heaven, saying, I have 
 both glorified it, and will glorify it again. 
 
 29 The people therefore that stood by, 
 and heard it, said that it thundered. Others 
 said, an angel hath spoken to him. 
 
 30 Jesus answered and said, 'This voice 
 came not for my sake, but yours. 
 
 31 Now is the judgment of this world . 
 now will 'the prince of this world be cast 
 forth. 
 
 32 And I, f if I be lifted up from the earth, 
 will draw *all men to myself. 
 
 33 ('This he said, indicating by what death 
 he was to die.) 
 
 34 The people answered him, 'We have 
 heard from the law that the Christ remain- 
 eth for ever: and how sayest thou, The 
 Son of man must be lifted up ? Who is 
 this Son of man-i 
 
 35 Jesus therefore said to them, Yet a 
 little while 'is the light with you. ""Walk 
 while ye have the light, lest darkness over- 
 take you: for "he who walketh in darkness 
 knoweth not whither he goeth. 
 
Hie Jeios are generally blinded. 
 
 36 While yc have the light, trust to the 
 light, that ye may be "sons of light. Jesus 
 having said this, departed, and p hid him- 
 self from them. 
 
 37 If But though he had done so many 
 miracles before them, they believed not 
 on him : 
 
 38 That the words of Isaiah the prophet 
 might be fulfilled, which he spoke, 'Lord, 
 who hath believed our report? and to whom 
 hath the arm of the Lord been revealed ? 
 
 39 Therefore they could not believe, be- 
 cause Isaiah said again, 
 
 40 r He hath blinded their eyes, and hard- 
 ened their heart; lest they should see with 
 their eyes, and understand with their heart, 
 and turn, and I should heal them. 
 
 41 "This Isaiah said, when he saw his 
 glory, and spoke of him. 
 
 42 *|J Still, however, many even among the 
 rulers believed on him ; but 'on account of 
 the Pharisees they did not acknowledge 
 him, lest they should be put out of the sy- 
 nagogue : 
 
 43 "For they loved the praise of men more 
 than the praise of God. 
 
 44 1f But Jesus cried, and said, *He who 
 believeth on me, believeth not on me, but 
 on him who sent me : 
 
 45 And "he who seeth me, seeth him who 
 sent me. 
 
 46 *I am come a light into the world, that 
 whoever believeth on me may not remain 
 in darkness. 
 
 47 And if any one hear my words, and 
 believe not, °I judge him not : for 'I came 
 not to judge the world, but to save the 
 world. 
 
 48 'He who rejecteth me, and receiyeth 
 not my words, hath one that judgeth him : 
 ''the word which I have spoken, that will 
 judge him in the last day. 
 
 49 For 'I have not spoken of myself; but 
 the Father who sent me, he gave me a 
 command, Avhat I should say, and what I 
 should speak. 
 
 50 And I know that his command is life 
 everlasting : whatever then I speak, as the 
 Father hath said to me, so I speak. 
 
 CHAPTER XIII. 
 
 1 Jesus washeth the disciples' feet: exhorteth them 
 to humility and love. 18 He foretelleth, and dis- 
 covered to John by a token, that Judas would be- 
 tray him: 31 commandeth them to love one another, 
 36 andforewarneth Peter of his denial. 
 
 IVfOW "before the feast of the passover, 
 -L' Jesus knowing that *his hour was 
 come that he should depart from this world 
 to the Father, having loved his own who 
 were in the world, loved them to the end. 
 
 2 And they being at supper, ("the devil 
 having now put it into the heart of Judas Is- 
 cariot, son of Simon, to betray him,) 
 
 3 Jesus knowing "that the Father had 
 given all things into his hands, and 'that 
 he came forth from God, and was going to 
 God ; 
 
 4 'Ariseth from supper, and laying aside 
 his garment, took a towel, and girded 
 himself. 
 
 5 Then he poureth water into the bason, 
 and began to wash the disciples' feet, and 
 to wipe them with the towel with which 
 he was girded. 
 
 6 So he cometh to Simon Peter: and

 Jesus pointetli out the traitor. 
 
 tPeter saith to him, Lord, «dost thou wash 
 my feet ? 
 
 7 Jesus answered and said to him, What 
 I do thou knowest not now ; ''but thou wilt 
 know hereafter. 
 
 8 Peter saith to him, Thou shalt never 
 wash my feet. Jesus answered him, 'Un- 
 less I wash thee thou hast no part with me. 
 
 9 Simon Peter saith to him, Lord, not my 
 feet only, but also my hands and head. 
 
 10 Jesus saith to him, He who hath bath- 
 ed himself needeth only to wash his feet, 
 but is then wholly clean: and *ye are clean, 
 but not all. 
 
 11 Fdr 'he knew who would betray him : 
 therefore he said, Ye are not all clean. 
 
 12 So when he had washed their feet, and 
 had taken his garments, having lain down 
 again, he said to them, Do ye understand 
 what I have clone to you ? 
 
 13 m Ye call me the Teacher and the Lord : 
 and ye say well; for so I am. 
 
 14 "If then I, the Lord and the Teacher, 
 have washed your feet ; "ye also ought to 
 wash the feet of each other. 
 
 15 For P I have given you an example, 
 that ye should do as I have done to you. 
 
 16 'Verily, verily, I say to you, The ser- 
 vant is not greater than his lord ; nor he 
 who is sent greater than he who sent him. 
 
 17 r If ye know these things, ye are happy 
 if ye do them. 
 
 18 Tf I speak not of you all; I know 
 whom I have chosen ; but that the scrip- 
 ture may be fulfilled, ! He who eateth bread 
 with me, hath lifted up his heel against me. 
 
 19 ' II Now I tell you before it happeneth, 
 that when it happeneth, ye may believe 
 that I am he. 
 
 20 "Verily, verily, I say to you, He who 
 receiveth whomsoever I send, receiveth 
 me ; and he who receiveth me, receiveth 
 him who sent me. 
 
 _ 21 "Having said this, *Jesus was troubled 
 in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, 
 verily, I say to you, that 'one of you will 
 betray me._ 
 
 22 The disciples therefore looked at each 
 other, being at a loss concerning whom he 
 spoke. 
 
 23 Now "there was reclining on the bosom 
 of Jesus, one of his disciples, whom Jesus 
 loved. 
 
 24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to 
 him, to ask who it was of whom he spoke. 
 
 25 He then, lying on Jesus' breast, saith 
 to him, Lord, who is it ? 
 
 26 Jesus answered, He it is to whom I 
 shall give the morsel, when I have dipped 
 it. And he dipped the morsel and gave it 
 to Judas Iscariot the son of Simon. 
 
 27 *And after the morsel Satan entered 
 into him. Then said Jesus to him, What 
 thou doest, do quickly. 
 
 28 But no one at table knew for what he 
 spoke this to him. 
 
 29 For some thought, since c Judas had the 
 purse, that Jesus had said to him, Buy what 
 we need for the feast ; or, that he should 
 give something to the poor. 
 
 30 He then, taking the morsel, went im- 
 mediately out ; and it was night. 
 
 31 If Therefore, when he was gone out, 
 Jesus said, 'Now is the Son of man glori- 
 fied, and 'God is glorified in him. 
 
 32 'If God is glorified in him, God will 
 
 79 
 
Christ comforteth his disciples. 
 
 also glorify him in himself, and g will im- 
 mediately glorify him. 
 
 33 Children, yet a little while I am with 
 you. Ye will seek me ; *and, as I said to 
 the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come, 
 so now I say to you. 
 
 34 *'A new commandment I give to you, 
 That ye love one another; as I have loved 
 you, that ye also love one another. 
 
 35 *By this all will know that ye are my 
 disciples, if ye have love toward one an- 
 other. 
 
 36 If Simon Peter said to him, Lord, 
 whither goest thou ? Jesus answered him, 
 Whither I go, thou canst not follow me 
 now ; but 'thou shalt follow me afterward. 
 
 37 Peter said to him, Lord, why cannot 
 I follow thee now ? I will "lay down my 
 life for thee. 
 
 38 Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay 
 down thy life for me ? Verily, verily, I 
 say to thee, The cock will not crow, till 
 thou hast denied me thrice. 
 
 CHAPTER XIV. 
 
 1 Christ comforteth his disciples with the hope of 
 heaven : 6 prqfesseth himself the ivay, the truth, and 
 the life, and one with the Father: 13 assureth their 
 prayers in his name to be effectual .- 15 requesteth 
 love and obedience, 16 promiseth the Holy Spirit the 
 Comforter, 27 and leaveth his peace with them. 
 
 LET °iiot your heart be troubled : trust 
 in God, and trust in me. 
 
 2 In my Father's house are many man- 
 sions : if it were not so, I would have told 
 you. *I go to prepare a place for you. 
 
 3 And if I go and prepare a place for 
 you, C I will come again and receive you to 
 myself; that d where I am, there ye may 
 be also. 
 
 4 And whither I go ye know, and the 
 way ye know. 
 
 5 Thomas saith to him, Lord, we know 
 not whither thou goest ; and how can we 
 know the way ? 
 
 6 Jesus saith to him, I am the way, and 
 / the truth, and *the life: "no one cometh 
 to the Father, but by me. 
 
 7 'If ye had known me, ye would also 
 have known my Father: and henceforth 
 ye know him, and have seen him. 
 
 8 Philip saith to him, Lord, shew us the 
 Father, and it sufficeth us. 
 
 9 Jesus saith to him, Have I been so long 
 with you, and hast thou not known me, 
 Philip ? *he who hath seen me, hath seen 
 the Father ; and how sayest thou, Shew 
 us the Father ? 
 
 10 Believest thou not that 'I am in the 
 Father, and the Father in me ? the words 
 that I speak to you, m I speak not of myself: 
 but the Father, who dwelleth in me, he 
 doeth the works. 
 
 11 Believe me that I am in the Father, 
 and the Father in me: "or else believe me 
 for the very works' sake. 
 
 12 "Verily, verily, I say to you, He who 
 believeth on me, the works which I do he 
 will do also; and greater works than these 
 will he do ; because I go to my Father. 
 
 13 p And whatever ye shall ask in my 
 name, this I will do, that the Father may 
 be glorified in the Son. 
 
 14 If ye ask any thing in my name, I 
 will do it. 
 
 15 *If 5 If ye love me, keep my command- 
 ments :

 23 Jesus answered and said to him, 'If a 
 man love me, he will keep my words : and 
 my Father will love him, 'and we will 
 come to him, and make our abode with 
 him. 
 
 24 He who loveth me not, keepeth not 
 my words : and e the word which ye hear 
 is not mine, but the Father's wno sent 
 me. 
 
 25 These things I have spoken to you, 
 while remaining with you. 
 
 26 But "the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, 
 whom the Father will send in my name, 
 'he will teach you all things, and remind 
 you of all that I have said to you . 
 
 27 'Peace I leave with you, my peace I 
 
 five to you : not as the world giveth, give 
 to you. 'Let not your heart be troubled, 
 nor let it be afraid. 
 
 28 Ye heard how m I said to you, I go 
 away, and come to you. If ye loved me, 
 ye would rejoice, because I said, "I go to 
 the Father: for "my Father is greater 
 than I. 
 
 29 And ^now I have told you before it 
 happeneth, that when it happeneth, ye 
 may believe. 
 
 30 I shall no longer talk much with you : 
 'for the prince of this world cometh ; and 
 in me he hath nothing : 
 
 31 But that the world may know that I 
 love the Father; and r as the Father gave 
 me commandment, so I do. Arise, let us 
 go hence. 
 
 CHAPTER XV. 
 
 1 The consolation and mutual love betxeeen Christ 
 and his members, under the parable of the vine. 
 IS A comfort in the hatred and persecution of the 
 world. 26 The office of the Holy Spirit, and of tha 
 apostles. 
 
 I AM the true vine, and my Father is tha 
 husbandman. 
 
 2 "Every branch in me that beareth not 
 fruit, he taketh away: and every branch 
 that beareth fruit, he cleanseth, that it may 
 bear more fruit. 
 
 3 'Now ye are clean through the word 
 which I have spoken to you. 
 
 4 "Remain in me, and I in you. As the. 
 branch cannot"bear fruit of itself, unless 
 it remain in the vine : no more can ye , 
 unless ye remain in me. 
 
 5 I am the vine, ye are the branches- 
 He who remaineth in me, and I in him, he 
 
Christ consoleth his disciples 
 
 beareth much d fruit: for ||apart from me ye 
 can do nothing. 
 
 6 If a man remain not in me, 'he is cast 
 forth like the branch, and is withered ; and 
 men gather them, and throw them into the 
 fire, and they are burned. 
 
 7 If ye remain in me, and my words re- 
 main in you, 'ye shall ask what ye will, 
 and it shall be done to you. 
 
 8 *In this is my Father glorified, that ye 
 bear much fruit; *so will ye be my dis- 
 ciples. 
 
 9 As the Father hath loved me, so have 
 I loved you : continue in my love. 
 
 10 'If ye keep, my commandments, ye 
 will continue in my love ; even as I have 
 kept my Father's commandments, and 
 continue in his love. 
 
 11 These things I have spoken to you, 
 that my joy may remain in you, and "that 
 your joy may be full. 
 
 12 'This is my commandment, That ye 
 love one another, as I have loved you. 
 
 13 m None hath greater love than this, 
 that he lay down his life for his friends. 
 
 14 "Ye are my friends, if ye do whatever 
 I command you. 
 
 15 I no longer call you servants ; for the 
 servant knoweth not what his lord doeth : 
 but I call you friends ; "for all things which 
 I have heard from my Father, I have made 
 known to you. 
 
 16 ? Ye have not chosen me, but I have 
 chosen you, and 'appointed you, that ye go 
 and bear fruit, and that your fruit reniain : 
 that 'whatever ye ask of the Father in my 
 name, he may give it you. 
 
 17 'This I command you, That ye love 
 one another. 
 
 18 'If the world hateth you, ye know that 
 it hated ine before it hated you. 
 
 19 "If ye were of the world, the world 
 would love its own; but ^because ye are 
 not of the world, but I have chosen you 
 out of the world, therefore the world 
 hateth you. 
 
 20 Remember the word that I said to 
 you, "The servant is not greater than his 
 lord. If they have persecuted me, they 
 will also persecute you : z if they have kept 
 my word, they will also keep yours. 
 
 21 But "all this they will do to you on 
 account of my name, because they know 
 not him who sent me. 
 
 22 If I had not come and spoken to them, 
 they had not had sin : c but now they have 
 no || pretext for their sin. 
 
 23 d He who hateth me, hateth my Father 
 also. 
 
 24 If I had not done among them e the 
 works which no other one hath done, they 
 had not had sin : but now they have both 
 seen, and hated both me and my Father. 
 
 25 But this is, that the word may be ful- 
 filled which is written in their law, / They 
 hated me without a cause. 
 
 26 ff But when the Comforter cometh, 
 whom I will send to you from the Father, 
 the Spirit of truth, that proceedeth from 
 the Father, ''he will testify of me. 
 
 27 And 'ye too will testify, because *ye 
 have been with me from the beginning.

 by a promise of the Holy Spirit. 
 
 surreclion and ascension : 23 assureth their pray- 
 ers made in his name to be acceptable to his Father. 
 33 Peace in Christ, and in the world affliction. 
 
 THESE things I have spoken to you, 
 that ye "may not fall away. 
 
 2 'They will put you out of the syna- 
 gogues: nay, the time cometh, c that who- 
 ever killeth you, will think that he doeth 
 God service. 
 
 3 And d this they will do to you, because 
 they have not known the Father, nor me. 
 
 4 But 'I have said this to you, that when 
 the time cometh, ye may remember that 
 I told you of it. And 'I said not this to you 
 at the beginning, because I was with you. 
 
 5 But now S I go to him who sent me, 
 and none of you asketh me, Whither goest 
 thou ? 
 
 6 But because I have said this to you, 
 "sorrow hath filled your heart. 
 
 7 But I tell you the truth : It is expedi- 
 ent for you that I go away: for if I go not 
 away, 'the Comforter will not come to you ; 
 but *if I depart, I will send him to you. 
 
 8 And he, when he cometh, will ||convict 
 the world of sin, and of righteousness, and 
 of judgment : 
 
 9 'Of sin, because they believe not on me; 
 
 10 m Of righteousness, "because I go to my 
 Father, and ye see me no more; 
 
 11 "Of judgment, because p the prince of 
 this world is judged. 
 
 12 I have yet much to say to you, 'but ye 
 cannot bear it now. 
 
 13 But when he, r the Spirit of truth 
 cometh, 'he will guide you into all truth: 
 for he will not speak from himself; but 
 whatever he shall hear, he will speak : and 
 he will shew you things to come. 
 
 14 He will glorify me: for he will receive 
 of mine, and will shew it to you. 
 
 15 'All things which the Father hath are 
 mine : therefore I said, that he will take 
 of mine, and will shew it to you. 
 
 16 "A little while, and ye see me not: 
 and again, a little while, and ye will see 
 me, *because I go to the Father. 
 
 17 Then said some of his disciples among 
 themselves, What is this which he saith to 
 us, A little while, and ye see me not: and 
 again, a little while, and ye will see me : 
 and, Because I go to the Father ? 
 
 18 They said therefore, What is this that 
 he saith, A little while? we know not what 
 he saith. 
 
 19 Now Jesus knew that they were de- 
 sirous to ask him, and said to them, Are 
 ye inquiring among yourselves of this that 
 I said, A little while, and ye see me not : 
 and again, a little while, and ye will see 
 me? 
 
 20 Verily, verily, I say to you, that ye 
 will weep and lament, but the world will 
 rejoice: and ye will be sorrowful, but your 
 sorrow shall be turned into joy. 
 
 21 X A woman in travail hath sorrow, be- 
 cause her hour is come : but when her child 
 is born, she no longer remembereth her 
 anguish, for joy that a man is born into the 
 world. 
 
 22 "And so ye now indeed have sor- 
 row : but I shall see you again, and *your 
 heart will rejoice, and your joy none taketh 
 from you. 
 
 23 And on that day ye will ask me 
 nothing. "Verily, venly, I say to you, 
 
 81 
 
Christ prayethfor himself, 
 
 Whatever ye shall ask the Father in my 
 name, he will give you. 
 
 24 Hitherto ye have asked nothing in my 
 name: ask, and ye shall receive, 'that your 
 joy may be full. 
 
 25 These things I have spoken to you in 
 parables: but the time cometh when I shall 
 no more speak to you in parables, but shall 
 announce to you plainly concerning the 
 Father. 
 
 26 c At that day ye shall ask in my name : 
 and I say not to you, that I will pray the 
 Father for you : 
 
 27 'Tor the Father himself loveth you, 
 because ye have loved me, and "have be- 
 lieved that I came forth from God. 
 
 28 / 1 came forth from the Father, and am 
 come into the world : again, I leave the 
 world, and go to the Father^ 
 
 29 His disciples said to him, Lo, now 
 thou speakest plainly, and speakest no 
 parable. 
 
 30 Now we are sure that ? thou knowest 
 all things, and needest not that any one 
 should ask thee : by this J we believe that 
 thou earnest forth from God. 
 
 31 Jesus answered them, Do ye now be- 
 lieve ? 
 
 32 'Behold, the hour cometh, and is now 
 come, when ye will be scattered *each to 
 ||his place, and will leave me alone : 'yet I 
 am not alone, because the Father is with 
 me. 
 
 33 I have said this to you, that m in me ye 
 may have peace. "In the world ye will 
 have affliction, "but take courage : p l have 
 overcome the world. 
 
 CHAPTER XVII. 
 
 1 Christ prayeth to his Father to glorify him, 6 to 
 preserve his apostles, 1 1 in unity, 17 and truth, 
 20 to glorify them, and all other believers with 
 him in heaven. 
 
 THUS spoke Jesus, and raised his eyes 
 to heaven, and said, Father, "the hour 
 is come ; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also 
 may glorify thee : 
 
 2 *As thou hast given him power over all 
 flesh, that he should give eternal life to as 
 many c as thou hast given him. 
 
 3 And d this is life eternal, that they may 
 know thee 'the only true God, and Jesus 
 Christ Avhom thou hast sent. 
 
 4 ^I have glorified thee on the earth: "I 
 have finished the work 'which thou gavest 
 me to do. 
 
 5 And now, do thou, Father, glorify me 
 Avith thyself, with the glory *which I had 
 with thee before the world was. 
 
 6 ! I have manifested thy name to the men 
 "whom thou hast given me from the world : 
 thine they were, and thou hast given them 
 to me ; and they have kept thy word. 
 
 7 Now they have known that all things 
 which thou hast given me are from thee : 
 
 8 For I have given them the words "which 
 thou gavest me ; and they have received 
 them, "and have known surely that I came 
 forth from thee, and they have believed 
 that thou didst send me. 
 
 9 I pray for them : I p pray not for the 
 world, but for those whom thou hast given 
 me ; for they are thine. 
 
 10 And all mine are thine, and 'thine are 
 mine; and I am glorified in them. 
 
 11 'And I am no longer in the world, but 
 these are in the world, and I come to thee. I

 Holy Father, 'keep in thy name those whom 
 thou hast given me, 'that they may be one, 
 "as we are. 
 
 12 While I was with them in the world, 
 *I kept them in thy name; those whom 
 thou hast given me I have kept, and "none 
 of them is lost, r but the son of perdition : 
 -that the scripture might be fulfilled. 
 
 13 And now I come to thee, and these 
 things I speak in the world, that they may 
 have my joy fulfilled in themselves. 
 
 14 *I have given them thy word ; 'and the 
 world hath hated them, because they are 
 not of the world,, ''as I am not of the world. 
 
 15 I pray not that thou wouldest take 
 them out of the world, but 'that thou 
 wouldest keep them from the evil. 
 
 16 -They are not of the world, as I am 
 not of the world. 
 
 17 ^Sanctify them through thy truth: ft thy 
 word is truth. 
 
 18 'As thou hast sent me into the world, 
 so have I also sent them into the world. 
 
 19 And *for their sakes I consecrate my- 
 self, that they also may be consecrated 
 through the truth. 
 
 20 And I pray not for these alone; but 
 for those also who will believe on me 
 through their word : 
 
 21 'That they all maybe one; as m thou, 
 Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they 
 also may be one in us: that the world may 
 believe that thou hast sent me. 
 
 22 And the glory which thou gavest me, 
 I have given them ; "that they may be one, 
 as we are one ; 
 
 23 I in them, and thou in me, "that they 
 may be made perfectly one; and that the 
 world may know that thou hast sent me, 
 and hast loved them as thou hast loved me. 
 
 24 ^Father, those whom thou hast given 
 me, I will that they also be with me where 
 
 1 am ; that they may behold my glory which 
 thou hast given me : 'for thou Tovedst me 
 before the foundation of the world. 
 
 25 Righteous Father, 'the world hath not 
 known thee : but 'I have known thee, and 
 'these have known that thou hast sent me. 
 
 26 "And I have made known to them thy 
 name, and will make it known : that the 
 love x with which thou hast loved me, may 
 be in them, and I in them. 
 
 CHAPTER XVIII. 
 
 1 Judas betrayeth Jesus. 6 The officers fall to the 
 ground. 10 Peter smiteth off Malchus' ear. 12 Je- 
 sus is taken, and led to Annas and Caiaphas. 
 15 Peter's denial. 19 Jesus examined before Caia- 
 phas. 28 His arraignment before Pilate. 36 His 
 kingdom. 40 The Jews ask Barabbas to be let loose. 
 
 HAVING thus spoken, "Jesus went 
 forth with his disciples over 'the brook 
 Kedron, where was a garden, which he 
 entered with his disciples. 
 
 2 And Judas also, who betrayed him, 
 knew the place: c for Jesus often resorted 
 thither with his disciples. 
 
 3 Now ''Judas, taking the band and offi- 
 cers from the chief priests and Pharisees, 
 cometh thither with lanterns, and torches, 
 and weapons. 
 
 4 Jesus therefore, knowing all that was 
 coming upon him, went forth, and said to 
 them, Whom seek ye ? 
 
 5 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. 
 Jesus saith to them, I am he. And Judas 
 also, who betrayed him, stood among them. 
 
Judas betrayeth his Master. 
 
 6 Now, as he said to them, I am he, they 
 went backward, and fell to the ground. 
 
 7 Again then he asked them, Whom seek 
 ye ? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth. 
 
 8 Jesus answered, I have told you that I 
 am he. If therefore ye seek me, let these 
 depart : 
 
 9 That the word might be fulfilled which 
 he spoke, 'Of those mom thou gavest me, 
 I have lost none. 
 
 10 ^Now Simon Peter, having a sword, 
 drew it, and smote the high priest's ser- 
 vant, and cut oft' his right ear. The ser- 
 vant's name was Malchus. 
 
 11 Jesus therefore said to Peter, Put thy 
 sword into the sheath : s the cup which 
 my Father hath given me, shall I not 
 drink it ? 
 
 12 So the band, and the captain, and of- 
 ficers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound 
 him, 
 
 13 And A led him away first to 'Annas; 
 for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who 
 was high priest that year.|| 
 
 14 *And Caiaphas was he who gave coun- 
 sel to the Jews, that it was expedient that 
 one man should perish for the people. 
 
 15 If 'And Simon Peter followed Jesus, 
 with another disciple. And that disciple 
 was known to the high priest, and went in 
 with Jesus, into the palace of the high 
 priest. 
 
 16 m But Peter stood at the door without. 
 Now the other disciple who was known to 
 the high priest, went out and spoke to the 
 door-keeper, and brought in Peter. 
 
 17 And the maid who kept the door saith 
 to Peter, Art thou also one of this man's 
 disciples ? He saith, I am not. 
 
 18 And the servants and officers having 
 made a fire of coals, (for it was cold,) stood 
 and warmed themselves : and Peter stood 
 among them, and warmed himself. 
 
 19 If The high priest then asked Jesus 
 concerning his disciples, and concerning 
 his teaching. 
 
 20 Jesus answered him, n I spoke openly 
 to the world ; I always taught in the syna- 
 gogue, and in the temple, where the Jews 
 always assemble; and in secret I said 
 nothing. 
 
 21 Why askest thou me ? ask those who 
 heard me, what I said to them : behold, 
 they know what I said. 
 
 22 And as he had said this, one of the 
 officers who stood by, "struck Jesus ||on the 
 face, saying, Answerest thou the high 
 priest so ? 
 
 23 Jesus answered him, If I spoke evilly, 
 testify concerning the evil: and if well, 
 why dost thou smite me ? 
 
 24 ( p Now Annas had sent him bound to 
 Caiaphas the high priest.) 
 
 25 And Simon Peter stood and warmed 
 himself. 'They said therefore to him, Art 
 thou also one of his disciples ? He denied 
 it, and said, I am not. 
 
 26 One of the servants of the high priest 
 (being a kinsman of him whose ear Peter 
 cut oft") saith. Did not I see thee in the 
 garden with him? 
 
 27 Peter then denied again : and 'im- 
 mediately the cock crowed. 
 
 28 \ 'Now they bring Jesus from Caia- 
 phas into the Upalace: and it was early; 
 'and they themselves did not enter the

 palace, lest they should be defiled ; but 
 that they might eat the passover. 
 
 29 Pilate therefore went out to them, and 
 said, What accusation bring ye against 
 this man ? 
 
 30 They answered and said to him, If he 
 were not a malefactor, we would not have 
 delivered him to thee. 
 
 31 Pilate therefore said to them, Do ye 
 take him, and judge him according to your 
 law. And the Jews said to him, It is not 
 permitted us to put any one to death : 
 
 32 "That the word of Jesus might be ful- 
 filled, which he spoke, indicating by what 
 death he was to die. 
 
 33 *So Pilate again entered the palace, 
 and called Jesus, and said to him, Art 
 thou the King of the Jews ? 
 
 34 Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this 
 of thyself, or have others told thee con- 
 cerning me ? 
 
 35 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine 
 own nation, and the chief priests, have 
 delivered thee to me. What hast thou 
 done ? 
 
 36 y Jesus answered, *My kingdom is not 
 of this world : if my kingdom were of this 
 world, my servants would contend, that I 
 might not be delivered to the Jews : but 
 now my kingdom is not from hence. 
 
 37 Pilate therefore said to him, Art thou 
 a king then ? Jesus answered, || Thou say- 
 est that I am a king. For this was I born, 
 and for this I am come into the world, that 
 I may testify to the truth. Every one who 
 °is of the truth, heareth my voice. 
 
 38 Pilate saith to him, What is truth? 
 And saying this, he went out again to the 
 Jews, and saith to them, *I find no fault 
 in him. 
 
 39 c But ye have a custom that I release 
 to you one at the passover : will ye there- 
 fore, that I release to you the King of the 
 Jews ? 
 
 40 d And they all cried again, saying, Not 
 him, but Barabbas ! 'Now Barabbas was 
 a robber. 
 
 CHAPTER XIX. 
 
 1 Christ is scourged, crowned with thorns, and beaten. 
 4 Pilate is desirous to release him, but being over- 
 come with the outrage of the Jews, he delivered him 
 to be crucified. 23 Tliey cast lots for his garments. 
 26 He commendeth his mother to John. 28 He 
 dieth. 31 His side is pierced. 38 He is buried by 
 Joseph and Nicodemus. 
 
 THEN therefore "Pilate took Jesus, and 
 scourged him. 
 
 2 And the soldiers braided a crown of 
 thorns, and placed it on his head, and ar- 
 rayed him in a purple robe, 
 
 3 And said, Hail ! King of the Jews ! 
 and gave him blows on the face. 
 
 4 Again, therefore, Pilate came out, and 
 saith to them, Behold, I bring him forth to 
 you, 'that ye may know that Ifind no fault 
 in him. 
 
 5 Now Jesus came forth, wearing the 
 crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And 
 Pilate saith to them, Behold the man! 
 
 6 'When therefore the chief priests and 
 officers saw him, they cried out, saying, 
 Crucify him ! crucify him ! Pilate saith to 
 them, Take ye him, and crucify him : for 
 I find no fault in him. 
 
 7 The Jews answered him, d We have a 
 law, and by our law he ought to die, be- 
 cause 'he made himself the Son of God. 
 
 S3 
 
Christ is crucified. 
 
 8 If Now when Pilate heard these words, 
 he was the more afraid ; 
 
 9 And went again into the palace, and 
 saith to Jesus, Whence art thou? 'But 
 Jesus gave him no answer. 
 
 10 And Pilate saith to him, Dost thou not 
 speak to me ? knowest thou not, that I 
 have power to crucify thee, and have power 
 to release thee? 
 
 11 Jesus answered, *Thou wouldest have 
 no power against me, unless it were given 
 thee from above: therefore he who de- 
 livered me to thee hath the greater sin. 
 
 12 Upon this Pilate sought to release him : 
 but the Jews cried out, saying, "If thou 
 release him, thou art not Cesar's friend ! 
 'Whoever maketh himself a king, opposeth 
 himself to Cesar ! 
 
 13 If Pilate, therefore, on hearing these 
 words, brought Jesus forth, and sat down 
 on his tribunal, in a place called the Pave- 
 ment, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha. 
 
 14 (And *it was the preparation of the 
 
 Eassover, and about the sixth hour:) and 
 e saith to the Jews, Behold your King ! 
 
 15 But they cried out, Away with him ! 
 away with him ! crucify him ! Pilate saith 
 to them, Shall I crucify your King ? The 
 chief priests answered, 'We have no king 
 but Cesar. 
 
 16 m Then therefore he delivered him to 
 them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, 
 
 JOHN. 
 
 his cross "went forth 
 the place of a skull, 
 
 and led him away 
 
 17 "And he bearin 
 into the place callei 
 called in Hebrew, Golgotha; 
 
 18 Where they crucified him, and two 
 others with him, one on either side, and 
 Jesus between them. 
 
 _ 19 If ? And Pilate wrote a title, and put 
 it on the cross. And the writing was, 
 JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING 
 OF THE JEWS. 
 
 20 Now this title many of the Jews read : 
 for the place where Jesus was crucified 
 was near the city : and it was written in 
 Hebrew, Greek, and Latin. 
 
 21 The chief priests of the Jews there- 
 fore said to Pilate, Write not, The King 
 of the Jews; but that he said, I am King 
 of the Jews. 
 
 22 Pilate answered, What I have written, 
 I have written. 
 
 23 ^f 'Then the soldiers, when they had 
 nailed Jesus to the cross, took his garments, 
 and made four parts, a part for each sol- 
 dier ; and his coat : now the coat was with- 
 out seam, || woven from the top through- 
 out. 
 
 24 They said therefore among themselves, 
 Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it whose 
 it shall be: that the scripture might be 
 fulfilled, which saith, r Tney parted my 
 garments among them, and cast lots for my 
 vesture. Now this did the soldiers. 
 
 25 If 'And there stood by the cross of 
 Jesus, his mother, and his mother's sister, 
 Maiy the wife of |]'Cleophas, and Mary 
 Magdalene. 
 
 26 Jesus therefore seeing his mother, and 
 "the disciple whom he loved standing by, 
 saith to his mother, x Woman, behold thy 
 son ! 
 
 27 Then he saith to the disciple, Behold 
 thy mother ! And from that hour that dis- 
 ciple took her "to his own home.

 His burial and resurrection. 
 
 28 1f After this, Jesus knowing that all 
 things were now accomplished, 'that the 
 scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. 
 
 29 Now there stood a vessel full of vine- 
 gar: and "they filled a sponge with vinegar, 
 and put it upon hyssop, and presented it 
 to his mouth. 
 
 30 When Jesus therefore had received 
 the vinegar, he said, It is finished ! and 
 bowing his head, he yielded up his spirit. 
 
 31 Now the Jews, 'that the bodies might 
 not remain upon the cross on the Sabbath, 
 d since it was the preparation, (for that Sab- 
 bath was a great day,) besought Pilate that 
 their legs might be broken, and they be 
 taken away. 
 
 32 So the soldiers came, and broke the 
 legs of the firsthand of the other who was 
 crucified with him. 
 
 33 But when they came to Jesus, and 
 saw that he was dead already, they did 
 not break his legs : 
 
 34 But one of the soldiers with a spear 
 pierced his side, and immediately there 
 'came out blood and water. 
 
 35 And he who hath seen it, testifieth, 
 and his testimony is true : and he knoweth 
 that he saith true, that ye also may believe. 
 
 36 For this happened, •''that the scripture 
 might be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not 
 be broken. 
 
 37 And again another scripture saith, 
 e They will look on him whom they 
 pierced. 
 
 38 ^f A And after this, Joseph of Arima- 
 thea (being a disciple of Jesus, but secret- 
 ly 'from fear of the Jews) asked of Pilate 
 that he might take away the body of Jesus : 
 and Pilate gave him leave. He came there- 
 fore and took the body of Jesus. 
 
 39 And *Nicodemus also (who at first 
 came to Jesus by night) came and brought 
 a mixture of myrrh and aloes, weighing 
 about a hundred pounds. 
 
 40 They took therefore the body of Jesus, 
 and 'wound it in linen clothes with the 
 spices, as is the Jewish custom to prepare 
 for burial. 
 
 41 And in the place where he was cruci- 
 fied, there was a garden ; and in the gar- 
 den a new sepulchre, in which none nad 
 as yet been laid. 
 
 42 m Here therefore, n on account of the 
 Jewish preparation, since the sepulchre 
 was near, they laid Jesus. 
 
 CHAPTER XX. 
 
 1 Mary cometh to the sepulchre : 2 so do Peter and 
 John, ignorant of the resurrection. 1 1 Jesus ap- 
 pear eth to Mary Magdalene, 19 and to his disci- 
 ples. 24 The incredulity, and confession of Thomas. 
 30 The scripture is sufficient to salvation. 
 
 ON the "first day of the week cometh 
 Mary Magdalene early, while it was 
 yet dark, to the sepulchre, and seeth the 
 stone taken away from the sepulchre. 
 
 2 Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon 
 Peter, and to the 'other disciple whom Je- 
 sus loved, and saith to them, They have 
 taken away the Lord from the sepulchre, 
 and we know not where they have laid 
 him. .. 
 
 3 'Peter therefore went forth, and the 
 other disciple, and went to the sepulchre. 
 
 4 And the two ran together: and the 
 other disciple outran Peter, and came first 
 to the sepulchre. 
 
Christ appeareth 
 
 5 And he bending over, saw a the linen 
 clothes lying, but did not enter. 
 
 6 Now Simon Peter cometh, following 
 him, and went into the sepulchre, and 
 seeth the linen clothes lying ; 
 
 7 And 'the napkin which was on his 
 head, not lying with the linen clothes, but 
 rolled up in a place by itself. 
 
 8 Then went in also the other disciple 
 who came first to the sepulchre, and he 
 saw, and believed. 
 
 9 For as yet they knew not the 'scripture, 
 that he must arise from the dead. 
 
 10 So the disciples went back to their 
 homes. 
 
 11 If fBut Mary stood without by the se- 
 pulchre weeping: and as she wept she bent 
 over into the sepulchre, 
 
 12 And seeth two angels in white, sitting, 
 the one at the head, and the other at the 
 feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. 
 
 13 And they say to her, Woman, why 
 weepest thour She saith to them, Because 
 they have taken away my Lord, and I know 
 not where they have laid him. 
 
 14 "Saying this, she turned back, and saw 
 Jesus standing, and 'knew not that it was 
 Jesus. 
 
 15 Jesus saith to her, "Woman, why weep- 
 est thou ? whom seekest thou ? She, sup- 
 posing him to be the gardener, saith to him, 
 Sir, if thou hast borne him hence, tell me 
 where thou hast laid him, and I will take 
 him away. 
 
 16 Jesus saith to her, Mary. She turn- 
 ed, and saith to him, Rabboni, (that is, 
 Teacher.) 
 
 17 Jesus saith to her, Lay not hold of me : 
 for I am not yet ascended'to my Father : 
 but go to 'my brethren, and say to them, 
 ' I ascend to my Father and your Father, 
 and to m my God and your God. 
 
 18 "Mary Magdalene came and told the 
 disciples that she had seen the Lord, and 
 that he had spoken thus to her. 
 
 19 If "Now on that day at evening, being 
 the first day of the week, and the doors 
 having been shut where the disciples were 
 assembled for fear of the Jews, Jesus came 
 and stood in the midst, and saith to them, 
 Peace be to you. 
 
 20 And saying this, he shewed them his 
 hands and his side. p And the disciples 
 rejoiced at seeing the Lord. 
 
 21 Jesus therefore said to them again, 
 Peace be to you : «as my Father hath sent 
 me, I also send you. 
 
 22 And saying this, he breathed on them, 
 and saith to them, Receive the Holy Spirit. 
 
 23 "Whose soever sins ye remit, they are 
 remitted to them; whose soever ye retain, 
 they are retained. 
 
 24 If But Thomas, one of the twelve, 
 'called Didymus, was not with them, when 
 Jesus came. 
 
 25 The other disciples therefore said to 
 him, We have seen the Lord. But he said 
 to them, Unless I see in his hands the print 
 of the nails, and put my finger into the 
 
 Erint of the nails, and thrust my hand into 
 is side, I will not believe. 
 
 26 If And after eight days again his dis- 
 ciples were within, and Thomas with them : 
 Jesus cometh, the doors having been shut, 
 and stood in their midst, and said, Peace 
 be to you.

 thy hand, and thrust it into my side ; and 
 be not faithless, but believing. 
 
 28 And Thomas answered and said to 
 him, My Lord and my God !

 thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: 
 "happy they who have not seen, and yet 
 have believed.

 CHAPTER XXI. 
 
 1 Christ appearing again to his disciples was known 
 of them by the great draught of fishes. 12 He dineth 
 with them : 15 earnestly commandeth Peter to feed 
 his lambs and sheep: 18 foretelleth him of his death : 
 22 rebuketh his curiosity touching John. 25 The 
 conclusion. 
 
 AFTER this Jesus shewed himself again 
 to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias : 
 and he shewed himself thus. 
 
 2 There were together Simon Peter, and 
 Thomas called Didymus, and "Nathanael 
 of Cana in Galilee, and 'the sons of Zebe- 
 dee, and two other of his disciples. 
 
 3 Simon Peter saith to them, I go a fish- 
 ing. They say to him, We also go with 
 thee. They went forth, and entered their 
 ship immediately; and on that night they 
 caught nothing. 
 
 4 But when it was now morning, Jesus 
 stood on the shore ; the disciples however 
 c knew not that it was Jesus. 
 
 5 ''Jesus therefore saith to them, UChild- 
 ren, have ye any thing to eat? They an- 
 swered him, No. 
 
 6 And he said to them, 'Cast your net on 
 the right side of the ship, and ye will find. 
 They cast it therefore, and could no longer 
 draw it, from the multitude of fishes. 
 
 7 Therefore 'that disciple whom Jesus 
 loved saith to Peter, It is the Lord. And 
 Simon Peter, hearing that it was the Lord, 
 girded to him his upper garment, (for he 
 was naked,) and threw himself into the 
 sea. 
 
 8 And the other disciples came in the 
 bark (for they were not far from land, but 
 about two hundred cubits) dragging the 
 net with the fishes. 
 
 9 And as they came to land, they saw a 
 fire of coals there, and a fish lying on it, 
 and bread. 
 
 10 Jesus saith to them, Bring of the fish 
 which ye have now caught. 
 
 11 Simon Peter went up, and drew the 
 net to land full of large fishes, an hundred 
 and fifty-three : and though there were so 
 many, the net was not broken. 
 
 12 Jesus saith to them, «Come and dine. 
 And none of the disciples ventured to ask 
 him, Who art thou ? knowing that it was 
 the Lord. 
 
 13 Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, 
 and giveth them, and in like manner the 
 fish. 
 
 14 Now "this third time Jesus shewed 
 himself to his disciples, after he arose from 
 the dead. 
 
Christ's repealed charge to Peter. 
 
 15 f So when they had dined, Jesus saith 
 to Simon Peter, Simon son of Jonah, lovest 
 thou me more than these ? He saith to him, 
 Yea, Lord : thou knowest that I love thee. 
 He saith to him, Feed my lambs. 
 
 16 He saith to him again the second time, 
 Simon son of Jonah, lovest thou me? He 
 saith to him, Yea, Lord : thou knowest 
 that I love thee. 'He saith to him, Tend 
 my sheep. 
 
 17 He saith to him the third time, Simon 
 son of Jonah, lovest thou me ? Peter was 
 grieved because he said to him the third 
 time, Lovest thou me? And he said to 
 him, Lord, 'thou knowest all things ; thou 
 knowest .that I love thee. Jesus saith to 
 him, Feed my sheep. 
 
 . 18 'Verily, verily, I say to thee, When 
 thou wert young, thou girdedst thyself, and 
 walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when 
 thou art old, thou wilt stretch forth thy 
 hands, and another will gird thee, and carry 
 thee whither thou wouldest not. 
 19 And he said this, indicating m by what

 He rebukelh Peter's curiosity 
 
 death he should glorify God. And having 
 said this, he saith to him, Follow me. 
 
 20 And Peter, turning, seeth the disciple 
 "whom Jesus loved, following ; (who also 
 leaned on his breast at supper, and said, 
 Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee ?) 
 
 21 Peter seeing him, saith to Jesus, Lord, 
 and what of this man ? 
 
 22 Jesus saith to him, If I wish him to 
 remain "till I come, what is it to thee ? 
 Follow thou me. 
 
 23 This report therefore went abroad 
 among the brethren, that that disciple 
 should not die : yet Jesus did not say to 
 him, He will not die ; but, If I wish him 
 to remain till I come, what is it to thee ? 
 
 24 This is the disciple who testifieth of 
 these things, and hath written these things : 
 and p we know that his testimony is true.

 which Jesus did, which, were they written 
 one by one, r I suppose that even the world 
 itself would not contain the books that 
 should be written. Amen. 
 
 IT THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES. 
 
 CHAPTER I. 
 
 1 Christ, preparing his apostles to the beholding of 
 his ascension, gathereth them together into the 
 mount of Olives, commandeth them to expect in 
 Jerusalem the sending down of the Holy Spirit, 
 promiseth after few days to send it: by virtue 
 whereof they should be witnesses to him, even to 
 the utmost parts of the earth. 9 After his ascension 
 they are warned by two angels to depart, and to 
 set their minds upon his second coming. 12 They 
 accordingly return, and, giving themselves to 
 prayer, choose Matthias apostle in the place of 
 Judas. 
 
 I WROTE my former narrative, "The- 
 ophilus, concerning all that Jesus began 
 both to do and teach, 
 
 2 'Until the day in which he was taken 
 up, after having, through the Holy Spirit, 
 'given commands to the apostles whom he 
 had chosen : 
 
 3 d To whom also he shewed himself alive 
 after his suffering, by many proofs, being 
 seen by them during forty days, and speak- 
 ing of things pertaining to the kingdom of 
 God: 
 
 4 'And llbeing assembled with them, he 
 commanded them not to depart from Jeru- 
 salem, but to wait for the promise of the 
 Father, Avhich, saith he, ye have heard 
 from me. 
 
 5 ? For John indeed immersed ||in water; 
 'but ye will be immersed in the Holy Spi- 
 rit not many days hence. 
 
 6 They therefore, on coming together, 
 asked him, saying, 'Lord, wilt thou at this 
 time 'restore the kingdom to Israel ? 
 
 7 And he said to them, 'It is not for you 
 to know the times or the seasons which the 
 Father hath put in his own power. 
 
 8 m But ye shall receive !|power"when the 
 Holy Spirit cometh upon you : and "ye 
 shall be witnesses to me, in Jerusalem, and 
 in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ex- 
 tremity of the earth. 
 
 9 p And having spoken thus, while they 
 looked on, 'he was taken up ; and a cloud 
 received him from their sight.

 toward heaven as he went, behold, two 
 men stood by them 'in white apparel ; 
 
 11 Who also said, 'Ye men of Galilee, 
 why stand ye looking toward heaven? this 
 Jesus who is taken up from you into heaven, 
 'will come in the same manner as ye have 
 seen him go into heaven. 
 
 12 "Then they returned to Jerusalem, 
 from the mount called the Mount of Olives, 
 which is from Jerusalem a Sabbath-day's 
 journey. 
 
 13 And when they came in, they went up 
 "into the upper room, where they were re- 
 maining ; "Peter, and James, and John, and 
 Andrew, Philip,and Thomas, Bartholomew, 
 and Matthew, James the son of Alpheus, 
 and z Simon Zelotes, and "Judas the bro- 
 ther of James. 
 
 14 'All these continued with one accord 
 in prayer and supplication, with 'the wo- 
 men, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and 
 with d his brethren. 
 
 15 If And in those days Peter arising in 
 the midst of the disciples, said, (the num- 
 ber 'of the names together was about an 
 hundred and twenty,) 
 
 16 Brethren, it was necessary that this 
 scripture be fulfilled, Avhich the Holy Spi- 
 rit spoke before by the mouth of David 
 concerning Judas, *who was guide to those 
 who seized upon Jesus. 
 
 17 For 'he was numbered with us, and 
 had his part allotted him in 'this ser- 
 vice. 
 
 18 'Now this man purchased a field with 
 'the wages of iniquity; and falling head- 
 long, he burst asunder in the midst, and 
 all his bowels gushed out. 
 
 19 And it was known to all who inhabited 
 Jerusalem ; so that that field is called in 
 their own tongue, Aceldama, that is, A 
 field of blood. - 
 
 20 For it is written in the book of Psalms, 
 "•Let his habitation become desolate, and 
 let no man dwell in it : and, "Let another 
 take his office. 
 
 21 Therefore of the men who accompa • 
 
The descent of the Holy Spirit. 
 
 nied us, all the time that the Lord Jesus 
 went in and out among us, 
 
 22 "Beginning from the immersion of John, 
 until the day that 'he was taken up from 
 us, of these one must 'become a witness 
 with us of his resurrection. 
 
 23 And they appointed two, Joseph called 
 r Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and 
 Matthias. 
 
 24 And they prayed, and said, Thou, 
 Lord, 'who knowest the hearts of all, shew 
 which of these two thou hast chosen, 
 
 25 *To take part of this ministry and 
 apostleship, which Judas deserted, that he 
 might go to his own place. 
 
 26 And they gave forth their lots; and 
 the lot fell upon Matthias ; and he was 
 numbered with the eleven apostles. 
 
 CHAPTER II. 
 
 1 The apostles, filed with the Holy Spirit, and 
 speaking various languages, are admired by some, 
 and derided by others. 14 Whom Peter disproving, 
 and shewing that the apostles spoke by the power 
 of the Holy Spirit, that Jesus was risen from the 
 dead, ascended into heaven, had poured down the 
 same Holy Spirit, and was the Messiah, a man 
 known to them to be approved of God by his mira- 
 cles, wonders, and signs, and not crucified without 
 his determinate counsel and foreknowledge: 37 he 
 immerseth a great number that were converted. 
 41 Who afterwards devoutly and charitably walk 
 together: the apostles working many miracles, and 
 God daily increasing his church. 
 
 AND when "the day of Pentecost had 
 arrived, 'they were all with one ac- 
 cord in one place. 
 
 2 And suddenly there came from heaven 
 a sound, as of a rushing violent wind, and 
 c it filled the whole house where they were 
 sitting. 
 
 3 And there appeared to them tongues as 
 of fire, dividing themselves, and settling 
 upon each of them. 
 
 4 And ''they were all filled with the Holy 
 Spirit, and began 'to speak with other 
 tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. 
 
 5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem 
 Jews, devout men, from every nation under 
 heaven. 
 
 6 And ||this being reported abroad, the 
 multitude came together, and were con- 
 founded, because they heard them speak 
 each in his own language. 
 
 7 And they were all amazed, and won- 
 dered, saying to each other, Behold, are 
 not all these who speak, •'Galileans ? 
 
 8 And how do we hear, each in our own 
 tongue, in which we were born ; 
 
 9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, 
 and the inhabitants of Mesopotamia, and 
 of Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and 
 Asia, 
 
 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt, and 
 the region of Libya about Cyrene, and the 
 Roman strangers, both Jews and prose- 
 lytes, 
 
 11 Cretes and Arabians, how do we hear 
 them speaking in our tongues the wonder- 
 ful works of God ? 
 
 12 And they were all amazed, and great- 
 ly in doubt, saying to one another, What 
 meaneth this ? 
 
 13 Others in mockery said, They are full 
 of new wine ! 
 
 14 *[f But Peter, standing up with the 
 eleven, raised his voice, and said to them,

 CHAPTER II. Peter's discourse on the day of Pentecost. 
 
 Jerusalem, be this known to you, and 
 hearken to my words : 
 
 15 For these are not drunken, as ye sup- 
 pose ; "'since it is but the third hour of the 
 day : 
 
 16 But this is that which was spoken of 
 by the prophet Joel, 
 
 17 'And it will come to pass in the last 
 days, saith God, 'I will pour out of my 
 Spirit upon all flesh : and your sons and 
 "your daughters shall prophesy, and your 
 young men shall see visions, and your old 
 men shall dream dreams: 
 
 18 And on my servants, and on my hand- 
 maidens, I will pour out in those days of 
 my Spirit; 'and they shall prophesy: 
 
 19 m And I will shew wonders in heaven 
 above, and signs on the earth beneath ; 
 blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke. 
 
 20 "The sun shall be turned into dark- 
 ness, and the moon into blood, before the 
 great and memorable day of the Lord 
 come. 
 
 21 And it shall be, that "whoever calleth 
 on the name of the Lord, shall be saved. 
 
 22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words! 
 Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved to you 
 of God p by miracles, and wonders, and 
 signs, which God did by him in the midst 
 of you, as ye yourselves also know : 
 
 23 Him, 'being delivered by the deter- 
 minate counsel and purpose of God, r ye 
 have taken, and by wicked hands have 
 crucified and slain : 
 
 24 'Whom God raised up, having loosed 
 the pains of death: because it was not pos- 
 sible that he should be held by it. 
 
 25 For David saith concerning him, 'I 
 saw the Lord always before me; for he 
 is on my right hand, that I be not moved : 
 
 26 Therefore my heart rejoiced, and my 
 tongue exulted; moreover also, my flesh 
 will rest in hope: 
 
 27 Because thou wilt not leave me in the 
 llgrave, nor suffer thine Holy One to see 
 corruption. 
 
 28 Thou hast made known to me paths 
 of life; thou wilt make me full of joy with 
 thy countenance. 
 
 29 Brethren, I may speak openly to you 
 "concerning the patriarch David, that he 
 both died and was buried, and his sepul- 
 chre is among us to this day. 
 
 30 Therefore being a prophet, x and know- 
 ' " ' " > n ii. ing that God had sworn with an oath to 
 
 him, that of the fruit of his loins, as to the 
 flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on 
 his throne; 
 
 31 He foreseeing this, spoke of the re- 
 surrection of Christ, y that he was not left 
 in the grave, nor did his flesh see corrup- 
 tion. 
 
 32 z This Jesus hath God raised up, "of 
 which we all are witnesses. 
 
 33 'Being then exalted by the right hand 
 of God, and c having received of the Father 
 ||the promise of the Holy Spirit, he d hath 
 shed forth this, which ye now see and hear. 
 
 34 For David did not ascend into the 
 heavens, but he saith himself, e The Lord 
 said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand, 
 
 35 Until I make thy foes thy footstool. 
 
 36 Therefore let all the house of Israel 
 know assuredly, that God ■''hath made this 
 same Jesus whom ye have crucified, both 
 Lord and Christ.

 let each of you be immersed in the name 
 of Jesus Christ, for the remission of sins, 
 and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy 
 Spirit. 
 
 39 For the promise is to you, and *to your 
 children, and *to all who are afar off, as 
 many as the Lord our God shall call. 
 
 40 And with many other words he testi- 
 fied and entreated, saying, Save yourselves 
 from this untoward generation. 
 
 41 If Now those who gladly received his 
 word, were immersed : and there were 
 added to them on that day about three 
 thousand souls. 
 
 42 'And they continued steadfastly in the 
 apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in 
 the breaking of bread, and in the prayers. 
 
 43 And fear came upon every soul : and 
 "many wonders and .signs were done by 
 the apostles. 
 
 44 And all who believed were together, 
 and "had all things common ; 
 
 45 And sold their possessions and goods, 
 and "divided them among all, as any one 
 had need. 
 
 46 ''And continuing daily with one ac- 
 cord 9 in the temple, and 'breaking bread 
 ||from house to house, they partook their 
 food with gladness and singleness of heart, 
 
 47 Praising God, and "having favour with 
 all the people. And 'the Lord added to 
 the church daily those who were saved. 
 
 CHAPTER III. 
 
 1 P-eter preaching to the people that came to see a 
 lame man restored to his feet, \2declareth the cure 
 not to have been wrought by his or John's own 
 power, or holiness, but by God, and his Son Jesus, 
 and through faith in his name: 13 withal repre- 
 hending them for crucifying Jesus. 17 Which, 
 because they did it through ignorance, and that 
 thereby were fulfilled God's determinate counsel, 
 and the scriptures : 19 he exhorteth them by re- 
 pentance and faith to seek remission of their sins, 
 and salvation in the same Jesus. 
 
 NOW Peter and John were going up to- 
 gether "into the temple, at the hour of 
 prayer, 'being the ninth hour. 
 
 2 And c a certain man lame from his mo- 
 ther's womb was carried, whom they laid 
 daily at the gate of the temple which is 
 called Beautiful, d to ask alms of those who 
 entered the temple ; 
 
 3 Who, seeing Peter and John about to 
 go into the temple, asked alms. 
 
 4 And Peter fastening his eyes upon him 
 with John, said, Look on us. 
 
 5 And he attended to them, expecting to 
 receive something of them. 
 
 6 And Peter said, Silver and gold I have 
 none ; but what I have, this I give thee : 
 •In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, 
 arise and walk ! 
 
 7 And he took him by the right hand, and 
 raised him up : and immediately his feet 
 and ancle-bones received strength. 
 
 8 And •''leaping up, he stood, and walked, 
 and went with them into the temple, walk- 
 ing, and leaping, and praising God. 
 
 9 *And all the people saw him walking 
 and praising God : 
 
 10 And they knew that it was he who 
 *sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the

 Peter" 1 s exhortation. 
 
 temple: and they were filled with wonder 
 and amazement at what had happened to 
 him. 
 
 11 And as the lame man who was healed 
 kept close to Peter and John, all the peo- 
 ple ran together to them in the porch 'called 
 Solomon's, filled with amazement. 
 
 12 1[ And as Peter saw it, he answered 
 the people, Ye men of Israel, why wonder 
 ye at this ? or why look ye so earnestly on 
 us, as though by our own power or piety 
 we had made him to walk ? 
 
 13 The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, 
 and of Jacob, the God of our fathers 'hath 
 glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye '"deli- 
 vered up, and "denied in the presence of 
 Pilate, when he had decided to release 
 him. 
 
 14 But ye denied "the Holy y and Just One, 
 and requested a murderer to be granted to 
 you; 
 
 15 And killed the |]Prince of life, 'whom 
 God raised from the dead ; 'of which we 
 are witnesses. 
 
 16 'And his name, through faith in his 
 name, hath made this man strong, whom 
 ye see and know : yea, the faith which is 
 by him, hath given him this perfect sound- 
 ness in the presence of you all. 
 
 17 And now, brethren, I know that 'from 
 ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers. 
 
 18 But "that which God formerly an- 
 nounced x by the mouth of all his prophets, 
 that the Christ should suffer, he hath so 
 fulfilled. 
 
 19 If y Repent, therefore, and turn, that 
 your sins may be blotted out, so that times 
 of refreshing may come from the presence 
 of the Lord ; 
 
 20 And he may send Jesus Christ, who 
 was (Iformerly appointed for you : 
 
 21 2 Whom the heaven must receive, until 
 the times of °the restoration of all things, 
 'which God spoke of old, by the mouth of 
 all his holy prophets. 
 
 22 For Moses indeed said to our fathers, 
 C A Prophet will the Lord your God raise 
 up to you, from your brethren, like me; 
 him ye shall hear in all things, whatever 
 he shall say to you. 
 
 23 And it will be, that every soul that 
 will not hear that Prophet, shall be de- 
 stroyed from among the people. 
 
 24 And indeed all the prophets from Sa- 
 muel, and those after him, as many as have 
 spoken, have also announced these days. 
 
 25 ''Ye are the sons of the prophets, and 
 of the covenant which God made with our 
 fathers, saying to Abraham, 'And in thy 
 seed shall all the nations of the earth be 
 blessed. 
 
 26 'To you first, God having raised up 
 his Son Jesus, ^sent him to bless you, *in 
 turning away each of you from his iniqui- 
 ties. 
 
 CHAPTER IV. 
 
 1 The rulers of the Jews offended with Peter's sermon, 
 
 4 {though thousands of the people were converted 
 that heard the word,) imprison him and John t 
 
 5 After, upon examination, Peter boldly avouching 
 the lame man to be healed by the name of Jesus, and 
 that by the same Jesus only we must be eternally 
 saved, 13 they command him and John to preach 
 no more in that name, adding also threatening, 
 23 whereupon the church fleeth to prayer. 31 And 
 God, by moving the place where they were assem- 
 bled, testified that he heard their prayer: confirm- 
 
Peter and John being imprisoned, 
 
 ing the church with the gift of the Holy Spirit, and 
 with mutual love and charity. 
 
 AND as they were speaking to the peo- 
 ple, the priests, and the ||officer of the 
 temple, and the Sadducees cameupon them, 
 
 2 "Being grieved that they taught the peo- 
 ple, and preached through Jesus the resur- 
 rection from the dead. 
 
 3 And they laid hands on them, and put 
 them in prison jintil the next day: for it 
 was now evening. 
 
 '4 But many of those who heard the word, 
 believed ; and the number of the men was 
 about five thousand. 
 
 5 If And it happened on the morrow, that 
 their rulers, and elders, and scribes, 
 
 6 And * Annas the high priest, and Caia- 
 phas, and John, and Alexander, and who- 
 ever were of the high priest's family, as- 
 sembled at Jerusalem. 
 
 7 And placing them in the midst, they 
 asked, c By what power, or by what name 
 have ye done this ? 
 
 8 "Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, 
 said to them, Ye rulers of the people, and 
 elders of Israel, 
 
 9 If we are examined to-day in regard to 
 the good deed done to the infirm man, by 
 whom he hath been healed ; 
 
 10 Be it known to you all, and to all the 
 people of Israel, 'that by the name of Jesus 
 Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, 
 1 whom God raised from the dead, by him 
 doth this man stand before you whole. 
 
 11 e This is the stone, despised by you, the 
 builders, which is become the head of the 
 corner. 
 
 12 *Nor is there salvation in any other : 
 for there is no other name under heaven 
 given among men, whereby we may be 
 saved. 
 
 13 Now, seeing the boldness of Peter and 
 John, 'and knowing that they were un- 
 learned and common men, they wondered; 
 and they ascertained that they had been 
 with Jesus. 
 
 14 And seeing the man who had been 
 healed *standing with them, they could say 
 nothing against it. 
 
 15 And directing them to withdraw from 
 the council, they conferred among them- 
 selves, 
 
 16 Saying, 'What shall we do to these 
 men ? for that indeed a noted miracle hath 
 been done by them is ""manifest to all who 
 inhabit Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it. 
 
 17 But that it spread no further among 
 the people, let us order them with threats 
 to speak no more to any man in this name. 
 
 18 "And they called them, and com- 
 manded them not to speak nor teach at 
 all in the name of Jesus. 
 
 19 But Peter and John answering, said 
 to them, "Whether it is right in the sight 
 of God to listen to you rather than to God, 
 judge ye. 
 
 20 p For we cannot but speak what *we 
 have seen and heard. 
 
 21 And they having further threatened 
 them, let them go, finding no means of 
 punishing them, 'on account of the people: 
 for they all glorified God for 'what had 
 happened. 
 
 22 For the man was more than forty years 
 old on whom this miracle of healing had 
 been wrought.

 afterwards speak more boldly. 
 
 23 f And being dismissed, 'they went to 
 their friends, and reported what the chief 
 priests and elders had said to them. 
 
 24 And they hearing it, with one accord 
 raised their voice to God, and said, Lord, 
 "thou art God, who madest heaven, and 
 earth, and the sea, and all things in them ; 
 
 25 Who, by the mouth of thy servant 
 David hast said, *Why did the nations 
 rage, and the people imagine vain things ? 
 
 26 The kings of the earth stood up, and 
 the rulers assembled together against the 
 Lord, and against his Anointed. 
 
 27 For "in truth there assembled in this 
 city, against 2 thy holy child Jesus, "whom 
 thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pon- 
 tius Pilate, with the nations, and the people 
 of Israel, 
 
 28 'To do whatever thy hand and thy 
 will had determined should take place. 
 
 29 And now, Lord, look upon their 
 threats: and grant to thy servants, 'with 
 all boldness to speak thy word, 
 
 30 While thy hand is stretched forth- to 
 heal, d and signs and wonders are wrought 
 c by the name of 'thine holy child Jesus. 
 
 31 ^[ And as they prayed, the place' was 
 shaken where they were assembled; and 
 they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, 
 A and spoke the word of God with boldness. 
 
 32 And the multitude of believers 'were 
 of one heart, and one soul : *and not one 
 of them said that any of his possessions 
 was his own ; but they had all things com- 
 mon. 
 
 33 And with 'great power the apostles 
 "'gave their testimony to the resurrection 
 of the Lord Jesus : and "great grace was 
 upon them all. 
 
 34 Nor was any among them in want: 
 "for such as were possessors of lands or 
 houses sold them, and brought the prices 
 of what they sold, 
 
 35 p And laid them at the apostles' feet: 
 yand distribution was made to each accord- 
 ing as he had need. 
 
 36 And Joses, who by the apostles was 
 surnamed Barnabas, (which is, when in- 
 terpreted, Son of consolation,) a Levite, a 
 Cyprian by birth, 
 
 37 'Having land, sold it, and brought the 
 money, and laid it at the feet of the apos- 
 tles. 
 
 CHAPTER V. 
 
 1 After Ananias and Sapphira his wife for their 
 hypocrisy at Peter's rebuke had fallen down dead, 
 12 and the rest of the apostles had wrought many 
 miracles, 14 to the increase of the faith: 17 the 
 apostles are again imprisoned, 19 but delivered by 
 an angel bidding them to preach openly to all: 
 21 when, after their teaching accordingly in the 
 temple, 29 and before the council, 33 they are in 
 danger to be killed, through the advice of Gamaliel, 
 a great counsellor among the Jews, they are kept 
 alive, 40 and are but beaten: for which they glorify 
 God, and cease no day from preaching. 
 
 BUT a certain man named Ananias, 
 with Sapphira his wife, sold a posses- 
 sion, 
 
 2 And kept to himself part of the price, 
 (his wife also being aware of it,) "and 
 brought a certain part, and laid it at the 
 apostles' feet. 
 
 3 4 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath 
 'Satan filled thine heart ||to lie to the Holy 
 Spirit, and to keep back part of the price 
 of the field ? 
 
 89 
 
The apostles are imprisoned. 
 
 4 While it remained, was it not thine 
 own ? and when sold, was it not in thine 
 own power ? why hast thou conceived this 
 thing in thine heart? Thou hast not lied 
 to men, but to God. 
 
 5 And Ananias hearing these words, d fell 
 down, and expired. And great fear came 
 on all who heard these things. 
 
 6 And the young men arose, 'wound him 
 up, and carried him out, and buried him. 
 
 7 _ And it was about the space of three 
 hours after, when his wife, not knowing 
 what had happened, came in. 
 
 8 And Peter answered her, Tell me 
 whether ye sold the field for so much? 
 And she said, Yea, for so much. 
 
 9 Then Peter said to her, Why have ye 
 agreed together -^to tempt the Spirit of the 
 Lord ? behold, the feet of those who buried 
 thy husband are at the door, and they will 
 carry thee out. 
 
 10 s And instantly she fell at his feet, and 
 expired. And the young men coming in, 
 found her dead, and carrying her forth, 
 buried her by her husband. 
 
 11 ''And great fear came upon all the 
 church, and upon all who heard these 
 things. 
 
 12 % And 'by the hands of the apostles 
 were many signs and wonders wrought 
 among the people; 'and they were all with 
 one accord in Solomon's porch. 
 
 13 And 'of the rest none ventured to join 
 himself to them : m but the people honour- 
 ed them ; 
 
 14 (And believers in the Lord were added 
 to them more, multitudes both of men and 
 women ;) 
 
 15 So that they brought forth the sick 
 (|into the streets, and laid them on beds 
 and couches, "that at the least the shadow 
 of Peter passing by might overshadow 
 some of them. 
 
 16 And the multitudes also from the sur- 
 rounding cities came together to Jerusalem, 
 bringing the "sick, and those vexed by un- 
 clean spirits ; and they were all healed. 
 
 17 If p But the high priest arising, and all 
 who were with him, (which is the sect of 
 the Sadducees,) were filled with llindig- 
 nation, 
 
 18 ? And laid their hands on the apostles, 
 and put them in the public prison. 
 
 19 But the angel of the Lord by night 
 opened the prison-doors, and brought them 
 forth, and said, 
 
 20 Go, stand and speak in the temple to 
 the people 'all the words of this life. 
 
 21 And hearing it, they went into the 
 temple early in the morning, and taught 
 'But the high priest came, and those with 
 him, and called together the council, and 
 all the elders of the children of Israel, and 
 sent to the prison to have them brought. 
 
 22 But the officers coming, found them 
 not in the prison, and returning, reported, 
 
 23 Saying, The prison indeed we found 
 shut with all safety, and the keepers stand- 
 ing without before the doors : but on open- 
 ing, we found no one within. 
 
 24 And when the high priest, and "the 
 captain of the temple, and the chief priests 
 heard these things, they were at a loss 
 concerning them ||to what this would grow. 
 
 25 But one came and told them, saying, 
 Behold, the men whom ye put in prison

 They are beaten, and dismissed. 
 
 are standing in the temple, and teaching 
 the people. 
 
 26 Then the captain with the officers 
 went, and brought them without violence: 
 'for they feared the people, lest they should 
 be stoned. 
 
 27 And having brought them, they set 
 them before the council: and the high 
 priest asked them, 
 
 28 Saying, "Did we not strictly command 
 you not to teach in this name? and behold, 
 ye have filled Jerusalem with your teach- 
 ing, 'and intend to bring this man's "blood 
 upon us. 
 
 29 If And Peter and the other apostles 
 answering, said, 'We must obey God ra- 
 ther than men. 
 
 30 'The God of our fathers raised up 
 Jesus, whom ye ''hung on the cross and 
 slew. 
 
 31 'Him hath God exalted ||with his right 
 hand, f a. Prince and ff a Saviour, "to give 
 repentanceto Israel, and forgiveness of sins. 
 
 32 And 'we are his witnesses of these 
 things; and so is also the Holy Spirit, 
 *whom God hath given to those who obey 
 him. 
 
 33 f 'And they hearing it, were stung 
 with madness, and were planning to de- 
 stroy them. 
 
 34 But a certain Pharisee arose in the 
 council, named "Gamaliel, a teacher of 
 the law, honoured by all the people, and 
 directed to put the apostles forth a little 
 space ; 
 
 35 And said to them, Ye men of Israel, 
 take heed to yourselves what ye are about 
 to do to these men : 
 
 36 For not long since arose Theudas, 
 boasting himself to be somebody ; to whom 
 a number of men, about four hundred, 
 joined themselves : who was slain ; and 
 all who ||obeyed him, were scattered, and 
 came to nought. 
 
 37 After him arose Judas the Galilean, 
 in the days of the enrolment, and drew 
 away a great company after him : he also 
 perished; and all who obeyed him were 
 dispersed. 
 
 38 And now I say to you, Refrain from 
 these men, and let them alone : "for if this 
 counsel or this work be of men, it will be 
 overthrown : 
 
 39 "But if it be of God, ye cannot over- 
 throw it; lest perchance ye be found even 
 ^fighting against God. 
 
 40 And they yielded to him : and 'calling 
 the apostles, they 'beat them, and com- 
 manded them not to speak in the name of 
 Jesus, and let them go. 
 
 41 "|f And they departed from the presence 
 of the council, 'rejoicing that they were 
 deemed worthy to suffer shame for his 
 name. 
 
 42 And daily 'in the temple, and in the 
 house, "they ceased not to teach and 
 preach Jesus Christ. 
 
 CHAPTER VI. 
 
 1 The apostles, desirous to have the poor regarded for 
 their bodily sustenance, as also careful themselves 
 to dispense the word of God, the food of the soul, 
 3 appoint the~4ffi.ee of deaconship to seven chosen 
 men. 5 Of whom Stephen, a man full of faith, and 
 of the Holy Spirit, is one. 12 Who is taken by 
 those, whom he confounded in disputing, 13 and 
 afterward falsely accused of blasphemy against the 
 law and the temple.

 AND in those days, °as the disciples 
 multiplied, there arose a murmuring 
 of the b || Hellenists against the Hebrews, 
 because their widows were neglected c in 
 the daily ministration. 
 
 2 And the twelve calling to them the 
 multitude of the disciples, said, d It is not 
 proper that we shoukl leave the word of 
 God, and attend on tables. 
 
 3 Wherefore, brethren, 'look out among 
 you seven men well attested, full of the 
 Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may 
 appoint over this business. 
 
 4 But we Avill give ourselves to prayer, 
 and to the ministry of the word. 
 
 5 1f And the advice pleased the whole 
 multitude: and they chose Stephen, s n man 
 full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and 
 "Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and 
 Timon, and Parmenas, and 'Nicolas a 
 proselyte of Antioch, 
 
 6 Whom they set before the apostles : 
 and ^having prayed, 'they laid their hands 
 on them. 
 
 7 And m the word of God increased ; and 
 the number of the disciples multiplied 
 greatly in Jerusalem ; and a great company 
 "of the priests were obedient to the faith. 
 
 8 U And Stephen, full of faith and power, 
 was performing great wonders and mira- 
 cles among the people. 
 
 9 And there arose some of the so-called 
 synagogue of the Libertines, and Cyre- 
 nians, and Alexandrians, and of those of 
 Cilicia, and of Asia, disputing with Stephen. 
 
 10 And "they were not, able to resist the 
 wisdom and the spirit with which he spoke. 
 
 11 p Then they suborned men, who said, 
 We have heard him speak blasphemous 
 words against Moses, and against God. 
 
 12 And they stirred up the people, and 
 the elders, and the scribes, and came, and 
 seized him, and brought him to the council, 
 
 13 And set up false witnesses, who said, 
 This man ceaseth not to speak blasphem- 
 ous words against this holy place, and the 
 law: 
 
 14 'For we have heard him say, that this 
 Jesus of Nazareth will 'destroy this place, 
 and will change the ||customs which Moses 
 delivered us. 
 
 15 And all who sat in the council, look- 
 ing steadfastly on him, saw his face as the 
 face of an angel. 
 
 CHAPTER VII. 
 
 1 Stephen, permitted to answer to the accusation of 
 blasphemy, 2 sheweth that Abraham worshipped 
 God rightly, and how God chose the fathers 20 be- 
 fore Moses was born, and before the tabernacle and 
 temple were built : 37 that Moses himself witnessed 
 of Christ : 44 and that all outward ceremonies were 
 ordained according to the heavenly pattern, to last 
 but for a time: 51 reprehending their rebellion, 
 and murdering of Christ, the Just One, who the 
 prophets foretold should come into the world. 
 54 Whereupon they stone him to death, who com- 
 mendeth his soul to Jesus, and humbly prayeth for 
 them. 
 
 THEN said the high priest, Is this so ? 
 2 And he said, "Brethren, and fathers, 
 hearken; The God of glory appeared to 
 our father Abraham while in Mesopotamia, 
 before he dwelt in Haran, 
 
 3 And said to him, *Go out from thy 
 country, and from thy kindred, and come 
 into the land which I shall shew thee.

 Chaldeans, he dwelt in Haran. And from 
 thence, after the death of his father, God 
 removed him into this land wherein ye 
 now dwell. 
 
 5 And he gave him no inheritance in it, 
 not even a toot-breadth : ''yet he promised 
 to give it to him for a possession, and to 
 his offspring after him, while as yet he had 
 no child. 
 
 6 And God spoke thus, 'That his seed 
 would sojourn in a land of strangers ; and 
 that they would enslave and afflict them 
 •Tour hundred years. 
 
 7 And the nation to whom they shall be 
 in bondage I will judge, said God: and 
 after that they shall come forth, and e serve 
 me in this place. 
 
 8 "And he gave him the covenant of cir- 
 cumcision. 'And so Abraham begot Isaac, 
 and circumcised him on the eighth day; 
 *and Isaac begot Jacob, and 'Jacob begot 
 the twelve patriarchs. 
 
 9 m And the patriarchs, moved with envy, 
 sold Joseph into Egypt: "but God was with 
 him, 
 
 10 And delivered him from all his afflic- 
 tions, "and gave him favour and wisdom in 
 the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and 
 he made him governor over Egypt, and all 
 his house. 
 
 11 p And there came a famine over all 
 the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great 
 affliction ; ana our fathers found no suste- 
 nance. 
 
 12 'But Jacob hearing that there was 
 grain in Egypt, sent out our fathers first. 
 
 13 r And at the second time Joseph was 
 made known to his brethren : and the 
 family of Joseph became known to Pha- 
 raoh. 
 
 14 'And Joseph sent, and called for his 
 father Jacob, and 'all his kindred, seventy- 
 five souls. 
 
 15 "So Jacob went down into Egypt, ^and 
 died, he, and our fathers, 
 
 16 And 'were carried over into Shechem, 
 and laid in v the sepulchre that Abraham 
 bought for a sum of money from the sons 
 of fiamor, father of Shechem. 
 
 17 But when z the time of the promise 
 drew near, which God had sworn to Abra- 
 ham, "the people increased and multiplied 
 in Egypt, 
 
 18 Till another king arose, who knew not 
 Joseph. 
 
 19 He dealing craftily with our race, af- 
 flicted our fathers, l so that they exposed 
 their infants, that they might not live. 
 
 20 c In which time Moses was born, and 
 ''was exceedingly fair ; he was nourished 
 up in his father's house three months': 
 
 21 And 'being exposed, Pharaoh's daugh- 
 ter took him up, and nourished him for her 
 own son. 
 
 22 And Moses was instructed in all the 
 wisdom of the Egyptians, and was ^mighty 
 in words and in deeds. 
 
 23 *And when he was forty years old, it 
 came into his heart to visit his brethren 
 the sons of Israel. 
 
 24 And seeing one of them suffer wrong, 
 he defended him, and avenged him who 
 was oppressed, by smiting the Egyptian : 
 
 25 And he supposed his brethren would 
 understand that God by his hand would 
 deliver them : but they understood not.

 26 "And the next day he shewed himself 
 to them when contending, and urged them 
 to peace, saying, Sirs, ye are brethren; 
 why do ye wrong one another ? 
 
 27 But he who was wronging his neigh- 
 bour, thrust him away, saying, 'Who made 
 thee a ruler and a judge over us ? 
 
 28 Wilt thou kill me, as thou didst the 
 Egyptian yesterday ? 
 
 2'J *At these words Moses fled, and be- 
 came a sojourner in the land of Midian, 
 where he begot two sons. 
 
 30 'And forty years being accomplished, 
 there appeared to him in the desert of 
 mount Sinai, an angel of the Lord in the 
 fiame of a burning bush. 
 
 31 And Moses seeing it, wondered at the 
 sight ; and as he came near to observe it, 
 the voice of the Lord came to him, 
 
 32 Saying, m I am the God of thy fathers, 
 the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, 
 and the God of Jacob. And Moses trem- 
 bled, and dared not observe it. 
 
 33 "And the Lord said to him, Unloose 
 thy shoes from thy feet: for the place 
 where thou standest is holy ground. 
 
 34 "I have seen, I have seen the affliction 
 of my people in Egypt, and I have heard 
 their groaning, and am come down to de- 
 liver them. And now come, I will send 
 thee into Egypt. 
 
 35 This Moses, whom they denied, say- 
 ing, Who made thee a ruler and a judge ? 
 him God sent to be a ruler and a deliverer 
 p by the hand of the angel who appeared to 
 him in the bush. 
 
 36 "He brought them out, r doing won- 
 ders and signs in the land of Egypt, 'and 
 at the Red sea, 'and in the desert forty 
 years. 
 
 37 f This is the Moses who said to the 
 children of Israel, "A Prophet will the 
 Lord your God raise up to you from your 
 brethren, ||like me ; *him shall ye hear. 
 
 38 "This is he, who, in the congregation 
 m the desert, stood between 2 the angel who 
 spoke to him in the mount Sinai, and our 
 fathers: "who received tlife-giving 'revela- 
 tions to give to us : 
 
 39 To whom our fathers would not be 
 obedient, but thrust him from them, and 
 in their hearts turned back into Egypt, 
 
 40 'Saying to Aaron, Make us gods to go 
 before us: for as for t'^is Moses, who 
 Drought us out of the land of Egypt, we 
 know not what is become of him. 
 
 41 ''And they made a calf in those days, 
 and offered sacrifice to the idol, and de- 
 lighted themselves in the works of their 
 own hands. 
 
 42 And 'God turned away, and gave them 
 up to worship '"the host of heaven ; as it is 
 written in the book of the prophets, f House 
 of Israel, did ye offer to me victims and 
 sacrifices for forty years in the desert ? 
 
 43 Nay, ye bore the tent of Moloch, and 
 the star of your god Remphan, images 
 which ye made to worship them : and I 
 will remove you beyond Babylon. 
 
 44 The tabernacle of testimony was with 
 our fathers in the desert, as he who spoke 
 to Moses ^directed him to make it accord- 
 ing to the model which he had seen.

 ceived, brought in with Joshua, on their 
 taking possession of the nations, *whom

 God thrust out from before our fathers,

 46 'Who found favour before God, and 
 "desired to find a habitation for the God 
 of Jacob. 
 
 47 "But Solomon built him an house. 
 
 48 However, "the Most High dwelleth 
 not in temples made with hands ; as saith 
 the prophet, 
 
 49 ^Heaven is my throne, and the earth 
 my footstool: what house will ye build 
 me ? saith the Lord : or what is the place 
 of my rest ? 
 
 50 Did not my hand make all these things ?

 cised in heart and ears ! ye always resist

 52 'Which of the prophets did not your

 who foretold the coming of 'the Just One; 
 of whom ye have now become betrayers 
 and murderers; 
 
 53 "Who have received the law by the mi-

 57 And crying with a loud voice, they 
 stopped their ears, and rushed upon him 
 with one accord, 
 
 58 And 'cast him out of the city, e and 
 stoned him: and d the witnesses laid their gar- 
 ments at thefeetof ayoungmannamed Saul, 
 
 59 And stoned Stephen, 'calling, and say- 
 ing, Lord Jesus, ^receive my spirit. 
 
 60 And he ^kneeled down and cried with 
 a loud voice, "Lord, lay not this sin to their 
 charge. And saying this, he fell asleep. 
 
 CHAPTER VIII. 
 
 1 By occasion of the persecution in Jerusalem, the 
 church being planted in Samaria, 5 by Philip the 
 deacon, who preached, did miracles, and immersed 
 many, among the rest Simon the sorcerer, a great 
 seducer of the people : 14 Peter and John come to 
 confirm and enlarge the church : where, by prayer 
 and imposition of hands giving the Holy Spirit, 
 18 when Simon would have bought the like power 
 of them,20 Peter sharply reproving his hypocrisy, 
 and covetousness, and exhorting him to repentance, 
 together with John preaching the word of the 
 Lord, return to Jerusalem. 26 But the angel send* 
 eth Philip to teach, and immerse the Ethiopian 
 eunuch. 
 
 AND "Saul was consenting to his death. 
 And at that time there arose a great 
 persecution against the church at Jerusa- 
 lem ; and 'they were all scattered abroad 
 throughout the regions of Judea and Sama- 
 ria, except the apostles. 
 
 2 And devout men carried Stephen to his 
 burial, and 'made great lamentation over 
 him. 
 
 3 And d Saul made havock of the church, 
 entered houses, dragged forth men and 
 women, and committed them to prison. 
 
 4 'Those therefore who were scattered 
 abroad went every where publishing the 
 word. 
 
 5 And •'"Philip went down to the city of 
 Samaria, and preached to them Christ. 
 
Peter reproveth Simon's wickedness. 
 
 6 And the people with one accord at- 
 tended to the things spoken by Philip, 
 while they heard and saw the miracles 
 which he did. 
 
 7 ff For unclean spirits, crying withaloud 
 voice, came out of "many who were pos- 
 sessed by them : and many paralytic and 
 lame persons were healed. 
 
 8 And there was great joy in that city. 
 
 9 But a certain man, called Simon, had 
 before in the same city A practised sorcery, 
 and bewitched the people of Samaria, 'giv- 
 ing out that himself was some great one : 
 
 10 To whom they all gave heed, from the 
 least to the greatest, saying, This man is 
 the great power of God. 
 
 11 And they gave heed to him, because 
 for a long time he had bewitched them 
 with sorceries. 
 
 12 But when they believed Philip, an- 
 nouncing the things Concerning the king- 
 dom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, 
 they were immersed both men and women. 
 
 13 And Simon himself believed also : and 
 being immersed, continued with Philip, 
 and wondered, beholding miracles and 
 great signs performed. 
 
 14 And the apostles at Jerusalem hearing 
 that Samaria had received the word of God, 
 sent to them Peter and John : 
 
 15 Who, coming down, prayed for them 
 'that they might receive the Holy Spirit : 
 
 16 (For m as yet he was fallen upon none 
 of them : and "they were only immersed in 
 "the name of the Lord Jesus.) 
 
 17 Then they 'laid their hands on them, 
 and they received the Holy Spirit. 
 
 18 And when Simon saw that through 
 laying on of the apostles' hand the Holy 
 Spirit was given, he offered them money, 
 
 19 Saying, Give me also this power, that 
 on whomsoever I lay hands, he may re- 
 ceive the Holy Spirit. 
 
 20 But Peter said to him, Thy money 
 perish with thee, because *thou hast thought 
 that r the gift of God may be purchased 
 with money. 
 
 21 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this 
 matter: for thy heart is not right in the 
 sight of God. 
 
 22 Repent therefore of this thy wicked- 
 ness, and pray God, 'if perhaps the thought 
 of thine heart may be forgiven thee. 
 
 23 For I see that thou art in 'the gall of 
 bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity. 
 
 24 And Simon answering, said, "Pray ye 
 to the Lord for me, that none of the things 
 which ye have spoken come upon me. 
 
 25 Now they, having testified and spoken 
 the word of the Lord, returned to Jeru- 
 salem, and published the gospel in many 
 villages of the Samaritans. 
 
 26 But an angel of the Lord spoke to 
 Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the 
 south, on the road that goeth down from 
 Jerusalem to Gaza, (which is desert.) 
 
 27 And he arose, and went: and behold, 
 *a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great 
 authority under Candace queen of the 
 Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her 
 treasure, and *had come to Jerusalem to 
 worship, 
 
 28 Was returning; and sitting on his cha 
 riot, was reading Isaiah the prophet. 
 
 29 And the Spirit said to Philip, Go near 
 and join thyself to this chariot.

 CHAPTER IX. Philip immerseth an Ethiopian eunuch. 
 
 30 And Philip running up, heard him 
 reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, Un- 
 derstandest thou what thou readest ? 
 
 31 And he said, How can I, unless some 
 one instruct me ? And he requested Philip 
 to come up, and sit with him. 
 
 32 And the passage of the scripture which 
 he was reading was this, r He was led as a 
 sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb 
 dumb before his shearer, so he opened not 
 his mouth : 
 
 33 In his humiliation his judgment was 
 taken awayj and who shall declare his 
 llgeneration ? for his life is taken from the 
 earth. 
 
 34 And the eunuch answering, said to 
 Philip, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the 
 prophet this? of himself, or of some other 
 one? 
 
 35 Then Philip opening his mouth, "and 
 beginning at that scripture, announced to 
 him Jesus. 
 
 36 And as they went on the road, they 
 came to a certain water: and the eunuch 
 said, See, here is water; *what hindereth 
 me from being immersed ? 
 
 37 And Philip said, 'If thou believest 
 with all thine heart, thou mayest. And 
 he answering, said, d I believe that Jesus 
 Christ is the Son of God. 
 
 38 And he ordered the chariot to stop : 
 and they went down both into the water, 
 both Philip and the eunuch; and he im- 
 mersed him. 
 
 39 And when they were come up out of 
 the water, 'the Spirit of the Lord caught 
 away Philip, and the eunuch saw him no 
 more : and he went on his way rejoicing. 
 
 40 But Philip was found at Azotus : and 
 passing through, he preached in all the 
 cities, till he came to Cesarea. 
 
 CHAPTER IX. 
 
 1 Saul, going towards Damascus, 4 is stricken down 
 to the earth, 10 is called to the apostleship, IS and 
 is immersed by Ananias, 20 He preacheth Christ 
 boldly. 23 The Jews lay wait to kill him : 29 so 
 do the Grecians, but he escapeth both. 31 The 
 church having rest, Peter healeth Eneas of the 
 palsy, 36 and restoreth Tabitha to life. 
 
 AND " Saul, yet breathing out threaten- 
 ings and slaughter against the disciples 
 of the Lord, went to the high priest, 
 
 2 And asked of him letters to Damascus 
 to the synagogues, that if he found any tof 
 this sect, whether men or women, he might 
 bring them bound to Jerusalem. 
 
 3 And 'as he journeyed, he came near 
 Damascus : and suddenly there shone 
 round him a light from heaven : 
 
 4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a 
 voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, 'why per- 
 secutest thou me ? 
 
 5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? 
 And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou 
 persecutest. ''It is hard for thee to kick 
 against the goads. 
 
 6 And he trembling, and astonished, said, 
 Lord, 'what wilt thou have me to do ? And 
 the Lord said to him, Arise, and go into 
 the city, and it shall be told thee what 
 thou must do. 
 
 7 And /the men who travelled with him 
 stood speechless, hearing indeed a voice, 
 but seeing no one. 
 
 8 And Saul arose from the earth; and 
 his eyes being opened, he saw no one : but

The conversion of Saul. 
 
 leading him by the hand, they brought him 
 to Damascus. 
 
 9 And he was three days without sight, 
 and neither ate nor drank. 
 
 10 U And there was a certain disciple at 
 Damascus, *named Ananias; and to him 
 the Lord said in a vision, Ananias. And 
 he said, Behold, I am here, Lord. 
 
 11 And the Lord said to him, Arise, and 
 go into the street which is called Straight, 
 and inquire in the house of Judas for one 
 called Saul, *of Tarsus: for behold, he 
 prayeth, 
 
 12 And hath seen in a vision a man named 
 Ananias, coming in, and putting his hand 
 on him, that he might receive his sight. 
 
 13 And Ananias answered, Lord, I have 
 heard from many of this man, 'how much 
 evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem : 
 
 14 And here he hath authority from the 
 chief priests, to bind all 'who call on thy 
 name. 
 
 15 But the Lord said to him, Go, for 'he 
 is a chosen vessel to me, to bear my name 
 before ""nations, and "kings, and the sons 
 of Israel. . 
 
 16 For "I will shew him how much he 
 must suffer on behalf of my name. 
 
 17 ''And Ananias departed, and entered 
 into the house: and 'putting his hands on 
 him, said, Brother Saul, the Lord (even 
 Jesus who appeared to thee on the road by 
 which thou earnest) hath sent me, that thou 
 mightest receive thy sight, and 'be filled 
 with the Holy Spirit. 
 
 18 And immediately there fell from his 
 eyes as it were scales: and he received 
 sight forthwith, and arose, and was im- 
 mersed. 
 
 19 And taking food, he was strengthened. 
 'And Saul was some days with the disci- 
 ples at Damascus. 
 
 20 And immediately he preached Christ 
 in the synagogues, ' that he is the Son of 
 God. 
 
 21 But all who heard him were amazed, 
 and said, "Is not this he who destroyed in 
 Jerusalem those who call on this name, 
 and came here for this purpose, that he 
 might bring them bound to the chief 
 priests ? 
 
 22 But Saul increased the more in 
 strength, *and confounded the Jews who 
 dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is 
 the Christ. 
 
 23 % And when many days were com- 
 pleted, ythe Jews conspired together to 
 kill him. 
 
 24 'But their plot was known to Saul. 
 And they watched the gates day and night 
 to kill him. 
 
 25 Then the disciples took him by night, 
 and "let him down through the wall in a 
 basket. 
 
 26 And J Saul, coming to Jerusalem, en- 
 deavoured to join himself to the disciples : 
 but they were all afraid of him, not be- 
 lieving that he was a disciple. 
 
 27 "But Barnabas took him, and brought 
 him to the apostles, and recounted to them 
 how he had seen the Lord in the way, and 
 that he had spoken to him, d and how he 
 had spoken -openly at Damascus in the 
 name of Jesus. 
 
 28 And 'he was with them going in and 
 out at Jerusalem.

 Tabitha raised to life. 
 
 29 And he spoke openly in the name of 
 the Lord Jesus, and disputed with the 
 f Hellenists: *but they undertook to slay 
 him. 
 
 30 And the brethren learning it, brought 
 him down to Cesarea.and sent him forth 
 to Tarsus. 
 
 31 ''Now the churches had rest through- 
 out all Judea, and Galilee, and Samaria, 
 and were edified : and walking in the fear 
 of the Lord, and in the comfort of the 
 Holy Spirit, were multiplied. 
 
 32 If And it came to pass, as Peter passed 
 'through them all, he came down also to 
 the saints who dwelt at Lydda. 
 
 33 And he found there a certain man 
 named Eneas, who had kept his bed eight 
 years, who was paralytic. 
 
 34 And- Peter said to him, Eneas, *Jesus 
 Christ healeth thee : arise, and make thy 
 bed. And he arose immediately. 
 
 35 And all who inhabited Lydda and 
 'Saron saw him, and "turned to the Lord. 
 
 36 y Now there was at Joppa a certain 
 disciple named Tabitha, which, interpreted, 
 meaneth ||Dorcas ; this woman was full *|of 
 good works and alms-deeds which she did. 
 
 37 And it came to pass in those days, that 
 she was sick, and died : and they washed 
 and laid her in "an upper chamber. 
 
 38 And Lydda being near to Joppa, the 
 disciples hearing that Peter was there, sent 
 to him two men, entreating him not to 
 delay to come to them. 
 
 39 And Peter arose, and went with them. 
 When he was come, they brought him into 
 the upper chamber: and all the widows 
 stood by him weeping, and shewing the 
 coats and garments which Dorcas made, 
 while she was with them. 
 
 40 But Peter, 'putting them all forth, 
 'kneeled down, and prayed ; and turning 
 to the body, r said, Tabitha, arise. And 
 she opened her eyes : and seeing Peter, 
 she sat up. 
 
 41 And he gave her his hand, and raised 
 her; and caning the saints and widows, 
 he presented her alive. 
 
 42 And it was known throughout all 
 Joppa : 'and many believed on the Lord. 
 
 43 And it came to pass, that he remained 
 many days in Joppa with one 'Simon a 
 tanner. 
 
 CHAPTER X. 
 
 1 Cornelius, a devout man, 5 being commanded by 
 an angel, sendeth for Peter : 1 1 who by a vision 
 15, 20 is taught not to despise the Gentiles. 34 As 
 he preacheth Christ to Cornelius and his company, 
 44 the Holy Spirit falleth on them, 48 and they are 
 immersed. 
 
 AND there was a certain man in Ce- 
 sarea, named Cornelius, a centurion 
 of the band called the Italian band, 
 
 2 "A devout man, and one who 'feared 
 God with all his house, who gave much 
 alms to the people, and prayed to God 
 always. 
 
 3 c He saw in a vision manifestly, about 
 the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God 
 coming in to him, and saying to him, Cor- 
 nelius. 
 
 4 And fastelilng his eyes on him, he was 
 afraid, and said, What is it, Lord ? And 
 he said to him, Thy prayers and thine 
 alms are come up for a memorial before 
 God. 
 
Cornelius sendethfor Peter. 
 
 5 And now send men to Joppa, and call 
 for Simon, who is surnamed Peter : 
 
 6 He lodgeth with one rf Simon a tanner, 
 whose house is near the sea: 'he will tell 
 thee what thou must do. 
 
 7 And when the angel who spoke to Cor- 
 nelius had departed, he called two of his 
 household servants, and a devout soldier 
 of those who waited on him ; 
 
 8 And recounting to them every thing, he 
 sent them to Joppa. 
 
 9 1 On the morrow, as they went on their 
 journey, and drew near the city, '"Peter 
 went up on the house-top to pray, about 
 the sixth hour : 
 
 10 And he became very hungry, and 
 wished to eat: but as they were prepar- 
 ing, he fell into a trance, . 
 
 11 And f saw heaven opened, and a cer- 
 tain vessel descending to him, like a great 
 sheet fastened at the four corners, and let 
 down to the earth : 
 
 12 In which were all the four-footed 
 beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and 
 creeping things, and birds of heaven. 
 
 13 And there came a voice to him, Arise, 
 Peter ; slay, and eat. 
 
 14 But Peter said, By no means, Lord ; 
 *for I never ate any thing common or un- 
 clean. 
 
 15 And the voice spoke to him again the 
 second time, 'What God hath cleansed, do 
 not thou call common. 
 
 16 This happened thrice : and again the 
 vessel was received up into heaven. 
 
 17 And while Peter was doubting in him- 
 self what this vision which he had seen 
 might mean, behold, the men who were 
 sent from Cornelius having inquired out 
 Simon's house, stood before the gate, 
 
 18 And called, and asked whether Simon, 
 who was surnamed Peter, lodged there. 
 
 19 If And as Peter reflected on the vision, 
 "the Spirit said to him, Behold, three men 
 seek thee. 
 
 20 'Arise therefore, and descend, and go 
 with them, doubting nothing: for I have 
 sent them. 
 
 21 And Peter went down to the men who 
 were sent to him from Cornelius; and said, 
 Behold, I am he whom ye seek : what is 
 the cause for which ye are come ? 
 
 22 And they said, ""Cornelius a centuri- 
 on, a just man, and one who feareth God, 
 and "of good report with all the nation of 
 the Jews, was warned by an holy angel to 
 send for thee into his house, and to hear 
 words from thee. 
 
 23 So he called them in, and entertained 
 them. And on the morrow Peter went 
 away with them, "and certain brethren from 
 Joppa accompanied him. 
 
 24 And the morrow after they entered 
 Cesarea. And Cornelius was waiting for 
 them, having called together his kinsmen 
 and near friends. 
 
 25 And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius 
 met him, and fell down at his feet, and did 
 him reverence. 
 
 26 But Peter raised him, saying, ''Stand 
 up : I myself also am a man. 
 
 27 And as he talked with him, he went 
 in, and found that many had come to- 
 gether. 
 
 28 And he said to them, Ye know 'that it 
 is unlawful for a Jew to keep company, or

 Peter preacheth to him Christ. 
 
 visit one of another nation ; but "God hath 
 taught me to call no man common or un- 
 clean. 
 
 29 Therefore, when sent for, I came to 
 you without hesitation: I ask then for 
 what purpose ye have sent for me ? 
 
 30 And Cornelius said, Four days ago I 
 was fasting until this hour; and at the 
 ninth hour I was praying in my house, and 
 behold, 'a man stood before me 'in bright 
 clothing, 
 
 31 And said, Cornelius, "thy prayer is 
 heard, *and thine alms are remembered 
 before God. 
 
 32 Send therefore to Joppa, and call for 
 Simon, who is surnamed Peter; he is lodged 
 in the house of Simon a tanner, near the 
 sea : who will come and speak to thee. 
 
 33 Immediately therefore I sent to thee ; 
 and thou hast done well that thou art come. 
 Now therefore we are all present before 
 God, to hear all that is commanded thee 
 from God. 
 
 34 If And Peter opening his mouth, said, 
 y In truth I perceive that God is no respecter 
 of persons: 
 
 35 But *in every nation, he who feareth 
 him and worketh righteousness, is accept- 
 ed by him. 
 
 36 The word which he sent to the sons 
 of Israel, "publishing peace by Jesus Christ : 
 ('he is Lord of all :J 
 
 37 That word, I say, ye know, which 
 was published throughout all Judea, 'be- 
 ginning from Galilee, after the immersion 
 which John proclaimed ; 
 
 38 How d God anointed Jesus of Naza- 
 reth with the Holy Spirit and with power: 
 who went about doing good, and healing 
 all who were oppressed by the devil ; 'for 
 God was with him. 
 
 39 And ** we are witnesses of all things 
 which he did, both in the country of the 
 Jews, and in Jerusalem ; e whom they hung 
 on the cross and slew : 
 
 40 Him *God raised on the third day, and 
 made him manifest; 
 
 41 ('Not to all the people, but to witnesses 
 chosen before of God, to us, *who ate and 
 drank with him after he rose from the dead :) 
 
 42 And 'commanded us to preach to the 
 people, and to testify m that it is he who is 
 appointed by God to be the Judge "of liv- 
 ing and dead. 
 
 43 "To him all the prophets bear witness, 
 that through his name ^whoever believeth 
 on him shall receive remission of sins. 
 
 44 1 While Peter was still speaking these 
 words, 'the Holy Spirit fell on all who heard 
 the word. 
 
 45 r And the believers of the circumcision 
 who came with Peter, 'were amazed that 
 on the Gentiles also was poured out the 
 gift of the Holy Spirit. 
 
 46 For they heard them speaking with 
 tongues, and magnifying God. Then an- 
 swered Peter, 
 
 47 Can any one forbid water, that these 
 should not be immersed, who have receiv- 
 ed the Holy Spirit 'as well as we ? 
 
 48 "And he commanded them to be im- 
 mersed x in the name of the Lord. Then 
 they prayed him to remain some days. 
 
 CHAPTER XI. 
 
 1 Peter, being accused for going in to the Gentiles, 
 5 maketh Ms defence, 18 which is accepted. 19 77*« 
 
 95 
 
Peter's defence before the Jews. 
 
 gospel being spread into Phenice, and Cyprus, and 
 Antioch, Barnabas is sent to confirm them. 26 The 
 disciples there are first called Christians. 27 They 
 send relief to the brethren in Judea in time of 
 famine. 
 
 AND the apostles and brethren in Judea 
 heard that the Gentiles had also re- 
 ceived the word of God. 
 
 2 And when Peter was come up to Jeru- 
 salem, "those of the circumcision contend- 
 ed with him, 
 
 3 Saying, 'Thou wentest in to men un- 
 circumcised, c and didst eat with them. 
 
 4 But Peter began and laid the matter 
 .before them ^in order, saying, 
 
 5 e I was in the city of Joppa praying: 
 and in a trance I saw a vision, A certain 
 vessel descend, as it were a great sheet, 
 let down from heaven by four corners ; and 
 it came to me : 
 
 6 Upon which fastening mine eyes, I ob- 
 served, and saw four-footed beasts of the 
 earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, 
 and the birds of heaven. 
 
 7 And I heard a voice saying to me, 
 Arise, Peter ; slay, and eat. 
 
 8 But I said, By no means, Lord : for 
 nothing common or unclean ever entered 
 my mouth. 
 
 9 But the voice answered me again from 
 heaven, What God hath cleansed, do not 
 thou call common. 
 
 10 And this happened three times : and 
 again all was drawn up into heaven. 
 
 11 And behold, immediately there stood 
 three men at the house where I was, sent 
 to me from Cesarea. 
 
 12 And -fthe Spirit bade me go with them, 
 nothing doubting. And ^these six brethren 
 accompanied me, and we entered the man's 
 house : 
 
 IS "And he told us how he had seen an 
 angel in his house, who stood and said to 
 him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, 
 who is surnamed Peter ; 
 
 14 Who will tell thee words, by which 
 thou and all thy house will be saved. 
 
 15 And as I began to speak, the Holy 
 Spirit fell on them, 'as on us at the begin- 
 ning. 
 
 16 And I remembered the word of the 
 Lord, how he said, 'John indeed immersed 
 || in water ; but 'ye shall be immersed in 
 the Holy Spirit. 
 
 17 m If then God gave them the like gift as 
 us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, 
 "who was I, that I could withstand God ? 
 
 18 When they heard this, they were 
 silent, and glorified God, saying, "So then 
 to the Gentiles also God hath granted re- 
 pentance to life ! 
 
 19 U p Now those who were scattered 
 abroad upon the persecution that arose 
 about Stephen, went as far as Phenicia, 
 and Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the 
 word to none but to the Jews only. 
 
 20 And some of them were men of Cy- 
 prus and Cyrene, who, on coming to An- 
 tioch, spoke to 'the HGrecians, preaching 
 the Lord Jesus. 
 
 21 And 'the hand of the Lord was with 
 them : and a great number believed, and 
 'turned to the Lord. 
 
 22 If And these tidings reached the ears 
 of the church in Jerusalem : and they sent 
 forth 'Barnabas, to go to Antioch.

 He is delivered from prison by an angel. 
 
 23 Who, coming and seeing the grace of 
 God, rejoiced, and "exhorted them all with 
 strong purpose of heart to cleave to the 
 Lord. 
 
 24 For he was a good man, and x full of 
 the Holy Spirit, and of faith: "and a great 
 multitude was added to the Lord. 
 
 25 And Barnabas went forth to "Tarsus, 
 to seek for Saul : 
 
 26 And having found him, he brought 
 him to Antioch. And it came to pass, that 
 a whole year they were together in the 
 church, and taught a great multitude. And 
 at Antioch the disciples were first called 
 Christians. 
 
 27 If And in these days came "prophets 
 from Jerusalem to Antioch. 
 
 28 And one of them, named 'Agabus, 
 arose and declared by the Spirit that there 
 was to be a great famine throughout all the 
 land: which happened in the days of 
 Claudius Cesar. 
 
 29 Then the disciples, each according to 
 his ability, determined to send c relief to 
 the brethren dwelling in Judea. 
 
 30 d Which also they did, and sent it to 
 the elders by the hands of Barnabas and 
 Saul. 
 
 CHAPTER XII. 
 
 1 King Herod persecuteth the Christians, killetk 
 James, and imprisoneth Peter; whom an angel 
 delivereth upon the prayers of the church. 20 In 
 his pride taking to himself the honour due to God, 
 Herod is stricken by an angel, and dieth miserably. 
 24 After his death, the word of God prospereth. 
 
 NOW about that time, Herod the king 
 llput forth his hands to vex some of 
 the church. 
 
 2 And he slew James "the brother of John 
 with the sword. 
 
 3 And seeing that it pleased the Jews, he 
 proceeded to seize upon Peter also. Then 
 were 'the days of unleavened bread. 
 
 4 And c he apprehended and put him in 
 prison, and delivered him to four quater- 
 nions of soldiers to guard him ; intending 
 after the passover to bring him forth to the 
 people. 
 
 5 Peter therefore was kept in prison: but 
 earnest prayer to God was made for him 
 by the church. 
 
 6 And when Herod was about to bring 
 him forth, on that night Peter was sleep- 
 ing between two soldiers, bound with two 
 chains ; and guards before the door watch- 
 ed the prison. 
 
 7 And behold, d an angel of the Lord ap- 
 peared, and a light shone in the prison ; 
 and striking Peter on the side, he awoke 
 him, saying, Arise quickly! And his 
 chains fell from his hands. 
 
 8 And the angel said to him, Gird thy- 
 self, and bind on thy sandals : and he did 
 so. And he saith to him, Throw thy gar- 
 ment about thee, and follow me. 
 
 9 And he went out, following him, and 
 'knew not that what was done by the angel 
 was real ; but thought ■''he saw a vision. 
 
 10 And passing the first and the second 
 watch, they came to the iron gate that 
 leadeth into the city; * which opened to 
 them of its own accord: and they went 
 out, and passetT on through one street; and 
 immediately the angel departed from him. 
 
 11 And Peter, coming to himselt, said, 
 Now I know truly that A the Lord hath 
 sent his angel, and 'hath delivered me 
 
Fearful death of Herod. 
 
 from the hand of Herod, and from all the 
 expectation of the people of the Jews. 
 
 12 And becoming aware of the thing, *he 
 came to the house of Mary the mother of 
 'John, who was surnamed Mark; where 
 many were assembled, "praying. 
 
 13 And as Peter knocked at the door of 
 the gate, a damsel came to listen, named 
 Rhoda. 
 
 14 And knowing Peter's voice, she open- 
 ed not the gate for gladness, but ran in, 
 and told that Peter stood before the gate. 
 
 15 And they said to her, Thou art mad. 
 But she kept affirming that it was so. And 
 they said, "It is his angel. 
 
 16 But Peter continued knocking. And 
 when they opened, and saw him, they were 
 amazed. 
 
 17 But he "beckoning to them with his 
 hand to be silent, related to them how the 
 Lord had brought him out of the prison. 
 And he said, Go tell this to James, and to 
 the brethren. And he departed, and went 
 to another place. 
 
 18 Now when it was day, there was no 
 small disturbance among the soldiers, as to 
 what was become of Peter. 
 
 19 And Herod having sought without 
 finding him, examined the keepers, and 
 commanded that they should be led away 
 to death. And he went down from Judea 
 to Cesarea, and continued there. 
 
 20 Tf And Herod ||was highly incensed at 
 the Tyrians and Sidonians. But they came 
 with one accord to him, and having made 
 Blastus tthe king's chamberlain their 
 friend, desired peace, because ''their coun- 
 try was nourished by that of the king. 
 
 21 And on an appointed day, Herod, ar- 
 rayed in royal apparel, sat on his throne, 
 and harangued them. 
 
 22 And the people cried, It is the voice 
 of a god, and not of a man ! 
 
 23 And immediately the angel of the 
 Lord i smote him, because r he gave not 
 God the glory: and being eaten by worms, 
 he expired. 
 
 24 If But 'the word of God grew and 
 multiplied. 
 
 25 And Barnabas and Saul returned from 
 Jerusalem, having fulfilled their |]ministry, 
 'taking with them also "John, who was sur- 
 named Mark. 
 
 CHAPTER XIII. 
 
 1 Paul and Barnabas are chosen to go to the Gentiles. 
 7 Of Sergius Paulus, and Elymas the sorcerer. 
 14: Paul preacheth at Antioch, that Jesus is Christ. 
 42 The Gentiles believe: 45 but the Jews gainsay 
 and revile : 46 whereupon they turn to the 
 Gentiles. 48 As many as were ordained to life 
 believed. 
 
 NOW there were "in the church that 
 was at Antioch certain prophets and 
 teachers ; as 'Barnabas, and Simeon called 
 Niger, and "Lucius of Cyrene, and Mana- 
 en, Hcompanion of Herod the tetrarch, and 
 Saul. 
 
 2 As they ministered to the Lord, and 
 fasted, the Holy Spirit said, ''Separate me 
 Barnabas and Saul, for the work e to which 
 I have called them. 
 
 3 Then, •''having fasted and prayed, and 
 laid their hands on them, they sent them 
 away. 
 
 4 t 1T So they being sent forth by the Holy 
 Spirit, came down to Seleucia; and thence 
 they sailed to ^Cyprus.

 Elymas is smitten zoith blindness. 
 
 5 And coming to Salamis, ''they announc- 
 ed the word of God in the synagogues of 
 the Jews. And they had also 'John as an 
 assistant. 
 
 6 And going through the isle to Paphos, 
 they found *a certain sorcerer, a Jewish 
 false prophet, whose name was Bar-jesus : 
 
 7 Who was with the proconsul, Sergius 
 Paulus, an intelligent man ; who called to 
 him Barnabas and Saul, and desired to 
 hear the word of God. 
 
 8 But _' Elymas the sorcerer (for so his 
 name is interpreted) withstood them, seek- 
 ing to turn away the proconsul from the 
 faith. 
 
 9 Then Saul, (who is also called Paul,) 
 "filled with the Holy Spirit, fixed his eyes 
 on him, 
 
 10 And said, O full of all subtilty, and 
 all wickedness, "son of the devil, enemy 
 of all righteousness ! wilt thou not cease 
 to pervert the right ways of the Lord ? 
 
 11 And now behold, "the hand of the 
 Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be 
 blind, not seeing the sun for a season. 
 And immediately there fell on him a mist 
 and a darkness ; and he went about seek- 
 ing persons to lead him by the hand. 
 
 12 Then the proconsul, seeing what had 
 happened, believed, being astonished at 
 the teaching of the Lord. 
 
 13 And Paul and- his company, setting 
 sail from Paphos, came to Perga in Pam- 
 phylia: And p John departing from them, 
 returned to Jerusalem. 
 
 14 U But they going on from Perga, came 
 to Antioch in Pisidia, and 'entering the 
 synagogue on the Sabbath, sat down. 
 
 15 And 'after the reading of the law and 
 the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue 
 sent to them, saying, Brethren, if ye have 
 s any word of exhortation for the people, 
 speak. 
 
 16 And Paul arose, and 'beckoning with 
 his hand, said, Men of Israel, and "ye who 
 fear God, hear. 
 
 17 The God of this people of Israel "chose 
 our fathers, and exalted the people "in their 
 sojourn in the land of Egypt, z and with an 
 high arm brought them out of it. 
 
 18 And "about forty years he ||bore with 
 them in the desert. 
 
 19 And 'having destroyed seven nations 
 in the land of Canaan, c he divided their 
 land to them by lot. 
 
 20 And after that, d he gave them judges 
 for about four hundred and fifty years, 
 'until Samuel the prophet. 
 
 21 'And afterwards they desired a king: 
 and God gave them Saul the son of Kish, 
 a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty 
 years. 
 
 22 And ^having removed him, *he raised 
 up to them David for their king : to whom 
 also he gave testimony, saying, *I have 
 found David the son of Jesse, *a man after 
 mine own heart, who will do all my will. 
 
 23 'From his offspring hath God, accord- 
 ing m to his promise, raised to Israel "a Sa- 
 viour, Jesus, 
 
 24 "John having before his coming pro- 
 claimed the immersion of repentance to 
 all the people of Israel. 
 
 25 And as John was accomplishing his 
 course, he said, p Whom do ye suppose me 
 to be? I am not he. But behold, there 
 
 97 
 
Paul's discourse at Antioch. 
 
 cometh one after me, the shoes of whose 
 feet I am not worthy to loose. 
 
 26 Brethren, sons of the race of Abraham, 
 and whoever among you fear God, «to you 
 is the word of this salvation sent. 
 
 27 For those who dwell at Jerusalem, and 
 their rulers, "being ignorant of him, and of 
 the declarations or the prophets 'which are 
 read every Sabbath, 'fulfilled them in con- 
 demning him. 
 
 28 "And though they found no cause of 
 death in him, x they desired of Pilate that 
 he should be slain. 
 
 29 "And when they had fulfilled all that 
 was written of him, 'they took him down 
 from the cross, and laid him in a sepulchre. 
 
 30 "But God raised him from the dead : 
 
 31 And 'he was seen for many days by 
 those who went up with him "from Galilee 
 to Jerusalem, d who are his witnesses to the 
 people. 
 
 32 And we declare to you glad tidings, 
 in respect to "the promise which was made 
 to the fathers ; 
 
 33 How God hath fulfilled this to us their 
 children, in raising Jesus again; as it is 
 also written in the second psalm, ■'Thou 
 art my Son, to-day have I begotten thee. 
 
 34 And that he raised him from the dead, 
 no more to return to corruption, he said 
 thus, S -I will give you the sure tmercies of 
 David. 
 
 35 Wherefore he saith also in another 
 psalm, "Thou wilt not suffer thine Holy 
 One to see corruption. 
 
 36 For David, having in his own age 
 served the will of God, 'fell asleep, and 
 was gathered to his fathers, and saw cor- 
 ruption : 
 
 37 But he, whom God raised again, did 
 not see corruption. 
 
 38 If Be it known to you therefore, bre- 
 thren, that "through him is announced to 
 you the forgiveness of sins ; 
 
 39 And 'by him all who believe are justi- 
 fied from all things, from which ye could 
 not be justified by the law of Moses. 
 
 40 Beware therefore, lest that come upon 
 you which is spoken of in m the prophets ; 
 
 41 Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and 
 perish: for I accomplish a work in your 
 days, a work which ye will by no means 
 believe, although one declare it to you. 
 
 42 And as they were going out of the 
 synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these 
 words might be spoken to them on the next 
 Sabbath. 
 
 43 And the synagogue being broken up, 
 many of the Jews and pious proselytes 
 followed Paul and Barnabas ; who speak- 
 ing to them, "persuaded them to continue 
 in "the grace of God. 
 
 44 If And on the next Sabbath almost the 
 whole city assembled to hear the word of 
 God. 
 
 45 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, 
 they were filled with envy, and 'opposed 
 what was spoken by Paul, contradicting 
 and reviling. 
 
 46 Then Paul and Barnabas spoke boldly, 
 and said, 5 It was necessary that the word 
 of God should first be spoken to you : but 
 'since ye thrust it from you, and judge 
 
 ? 'ourselves unworthy of everlasting life, 
 o, *we turn to the Gentiles : 
 
 47 For so hath the Lord commanded us,

 He healeth a lame man at Lystra. 
 
 saying, 'I have placed thee to be a light to 
 the Gentiles, that thou mayest be for sal- 
 vation to the extremities of the earth. 
 
 48 And the Gentiles hearing this, rejoiced, 
 and glorified the word of the Lord : "and 
 as many as were appointed to eternal life, 
 believed. 
 
 49 And the word of the Lord was spread 
 through the whole region. 
 
 50 But the Jews stirred up the devout 
 and honourable women, and the chief men 
 of the city, and * raised a persecution 
 against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled 
 them from their borders. 
 
 51 "And they, shaking off the dust of 
 their feet against them, came to Iconium. 
 
 52 And the disciples 'were filled with 
 joy and with the Holy Spirit. 
 
 CHAPTER XIV. 
 
 1 Paul and Barnabas are persecuted from Iconium. 
 7 At Lystra Paul healeth a lame man, whereupon 
 they are reputed as gods. 19 Paul is stoned. 
 21 They pass through various churches, confirming 
 the disciples in faith and patience. 26 Returning 
 to Antioch, they report what God had done with 
 them. 
 
 AND it happened in Iconium, that they 
 went together into the synagogue 
 of the Jews, and so spoke, that a great 
 multitude, both of Jews and Greeks, be- 
 lieved. 
 
 2 But the unbelieving Jews stirred up 
 and embittered the minds of the Gentiles 
 against the brethren. 
 
 3 Now they continued a long time speak- 
 ing boldly in the Lord, "who gave testi- 
 mony to the word of his grace, and grant- 
 ed signs and wonders to be done by their 
 hands. 
 
 4 But the multitude of the city was di- 
 vided : and part were with the Jews, and 
 part with the "apostles. 
 
 5 And when there was an assault made 
 both of the Gentiles and Jews, with their 
 rulers, e to abuse and stone them, 
 
 6 They being aware of it, ''fled to Lystra 
 and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the 
 surrounding region : 
 
 7 And there they preached the gospel. 
 
 8 If 'And there sat a certain man at Lys- 
 tra, powerless in his feet, being lame from 
 his mother's womb, who had never walked. 
 
 9 He heard Paul speak : who fastening 
 his eyes on him, and '"seeing that he had 
 faith to be healed, 
 
 10 Said with a loud voice, *Stand erect 
 on thy feet. And he sprang up and walked. 
 
 11 And the multitudes seeing what Paul 
 had done, raised their voices, saying in the 
 language of Lycaonia, "The gods are come 
 down to us in the likeness oi men. 
 
 12 And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; 
 and Paul, Mercury, because he was the 
 chief speaker. 
 
 13 And the priest of Jupiter, whose tem- 
 ple was before the city, brought oxen and 
 garlands to the gates, 'and, together with 
 the people, was intending to sacrifice them. 
 
 14 But the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, 
 hearing of it, "rent their clothes, and ran 
 in among the people, crying out, 
 
 15 And saying, Ye men ! 'why do ye this ? 
 m We also are men of like nature with you, 
 and preach to you, that ye should turn from 
 "these vain idols "to the living God, p who 
 made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and 
 all that is in them : 
 
Dissensions about circumcision. 
 
 16 'Who in past ages suffered all nations 
 to walk in their own ways ; 
 
 17 'Although he left not himself unwit- 
 nessed, in that he did us good, and 'gave us 
 rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, fill- 
 ing our hearts with food and gladness. 
 
 18 And saying this, they hardly restrained 
 the people from sacrificing to them. 
 
 19 t 'But there came thither Jews from 
 Antioch, and Iconium, who persuaded the 
 people, "and having stoned Paul, drew him 
 out of the city, supposing he was dead. 
 
 20 But the disciples surrounding him, he 
 arose, and came into the city : ana the next 
 day he went out with Barnabas to Derbe. 
 
 21 And having preached the gospel to 
 that city, *and made many disciples, they 
 returned to Lystra, and Iconium, and An- 
 tioch, 
 
 22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, 
 and "exhorting them to continue in the 
 faith, and saying that 'we must through 
 many afflictions enter into the kingdom of 
 God. 
 
 23 And "appointing for them elders in 
 every church, they commended them with 
 prayer and fasting to the Lord, on whom 
 they believed. 
 
 24 And passing through Pisidia, they 
 came to Pamphyha. 
 
 25 And having spoken the word in Perga, 
 they went down into Attalia : 
 
 26 And thence sailed to Antioch, *whence 
 they had been 'recommended to the grace 
 of God, for the work which they had ac- 
 complished. 
 
 9.7 And having come, and assembled the 
 church, d they related what God had done 
 with them, and how he had 'opened a door 
 of faith to the Gentiles. 
 
 28 And they remained there no little 
 time with the disciples. 
 
 CHAPTER XV. 
 
 1 Great dissension uriseth about circumcision. 6 
 The apostles consult about it, 22 and send their 
 determination by letters to the churches. 36 Paul 
 and Barnabas, thinking to visit the brethren to- 
 gether, fall into a strife, and part asunder. 
 
 AND "some who came down from Judea, 
 taught the brethren, saying, 'Unless ye 
 are circumcised ' according to the law of 
 Moses, ye cannot be saved. 
 
 2 "When therefore Paul and Barnabas 
 had no small dissension and dispute with 
 them, they determined that d Paul and 
 Barnabas, and some others of them, should 
 go up to the apostles and elders at Jerusa- 
 lem, about this question. 
 
 3 And 'being conducted forth by the 
 church, they passed through Pheniciaand 
 Samaria, Recounting the conversion of the 
 Gentiles: and they caused great joy to all 
 the brethren. 
 
 4 And being come to Jerusalem, they 
 were received by the church, and by the 
 apostles and elders, and *they announced 
 all that God had done with them. 
 
 5 But there Ijarose some of the sect of the 
 Pharisees, who believed, saying, "That it 
 was necessary to circumcise them, and to 
 command them to keep the law of Moses. 
 
 6 % And the apostles and elders came 
 together to consider this matter. 
 
 7 And after much debate, Peter arose 
 and said to them, "Brethren, ye know 
 that a long time ago, God made choice

 The case of Gentile converts decided. 
 
 among us, that the Gentiles, by my mouth, 
 should hear the word of the gospel, and 
 believe. 
 
 8 And God, 'who knoweth the hearts, 
 bore them witness, 'giving them the Holy 
 Spirit, as he did to us : 
 
 9 m And made no distinction between us 
 and them, "purifying their hearts by faith. 
 
 10 Now therefore why tempt ye God, "to 
 put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, 
 which neither our fathers nor we were 
 able to bear ? 
 
 11 But f we believe, that through the 
 grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, we are 
 saved, in the same manner as they. 
 
 12 If And all 'the assembly were silent, 
 and listened to Barnabas and Paul, re- 
 counting what miracles and wonders God 
 had 'wrought among the Gentiles by them. 
 
 13 If And after they were silent, r James 
 answered, saying, Brethren, hearken to me. 
 
 14 'Simeon hath declared how God first 
 visited the Gentiles, to take from them a 
 people for his name. 
 
 15 And with this agree the words of the 
 prophets ; as it is written, 
 
 16 'After this I will return, and rebuild 
 the fallen tabernacle of David ; and I will 
 rebuild its ruins, and I will set it up : 
 
 17 That the rest' of men may seek the 
 Lord, and all the nations who are called 
 by my name, saith the Lord, who doeth 
 all this. 
 
 18 Known to God are all his works from 
 the beginning of the world. 
 
 19 Wherefore u my judgment is, that we 
 trouble not those who from among the 
 Gentiles *are turned to God : 
 
 20 But that we write to them that they 
 abstain "from pollutions of idols, and 
 'from fornication, and from things stran- 
 gled, "and from blood. 
 
 21 For Moses hath of old his preachers 
 in every city, * being read in the syna- 
 gogues every Sabbath. 
 
 22 Then the apostles and elders, with the 
 whole church, determined to send chosen 
 men of their own number to Antioch, with 
 Paul and Barnabas; namely, Judas sur- 
 named c Barsabas, and Silas, leading men 
 among the brethren : 
 
 23 And they wrote by them thus; The 
 apostles, and elders, and brethren, to their 
 brethren of the Gentiles in Antioch, and 
 Syria, and Cilicia, send greeting. 
 
 24 Since we have heard, that d some who 
 went out from us, have troubled you with 
 words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye 
 must be circumcised, and keep the law; 
 to whom we gave no such instruction : 
 
 25 It seemed good to us, being assembled 
 with one accord, to send chosen men to 
 you, with our beloved Barnabas and Paul: 
 
 26 'Men who have hazarded their lives 
 for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 
 
 27 We have sent therefore Judas and 
 Silas, who will themselves also by word 
 tell you the same things. 
 
 28 For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, 
 and to us, to lay upon you no greater bur- 
 den than these necessary things ; 
 
 29 'That ye abstain from things offered

Paul and Barnabas separate. 
 
 30 So they being dismissed came to An- 
 tioch : and assembling the multitude, they 
 delivered the epistle. 
 
 31 And they having read it, rejoiced for 
 the ||consolation. 
 
 32 And Judas and Silas, being them- 
 selves also prophets, "exhorted the bre- 
 thren with many words, and confirmed 
 them. 
 
 33 And having remained a while, they 
 were 'dismissed in peace from the brethren 
 to the apostles. 
 
 34 But it seemed good to Silas to remain 
 there still. 
 
 35 *And Paul and Barnabas continued 
 in Antioch, teaching and- preaching the 
 word of the Lord, with many others also. 
 
 36 If And some days after, Paul said to 
 Barnabas, Let us go again and visit our 
 brethren, ! in every city where we have 
 
 E reached the word of the Lord, and see 
 ow they do. 
 
 37 And Barnabas determined to take 
 with them "John, called Mark. 
 
 38 But Paul thought proper not to take 
 him with them, "who departed from them 
 from Pamphylia, and went not with them 
 to their work. 
 
 39 And there arose a sharp contention, 
 so that they separated from each other : 
 and Barnabas took Mark, and sailed to 
 Cyprus. 
 
 40 And Paul chose Silas, and departed, 
 "being recommended by the brethren to 
 the grace of God. 
 
 41 And he went through Syria and Cili- 
 cia, ^confirming the churches. 
 
 CHAPTER XVI. 
 
 I Paul having circumcised Timothy, 7 and being 
 called by the Spirit from one country to another, 
 14 converteth Lydia, 16 casteth out a spirit of di- 
 vination. 19 For which cause he and Silas are 
 whipped and imprisoned. 26 The prison doors are 
 opened. 31 The jailer is converted, 37 and they 
 are delivered. 
 
 AND he came to °Derbe and Lystra: 
 and behold, a certain disciple was 
 there, 'named Timothy, the son of a be- 
 lieving Jewish woman, but whose father 
 was a Greek : 
 
 2 Who d was well reported of by the bre- 
 thren who were at Lystra and Iconium. 
 
 3 Him Paul wished to go forth with him ; 
 and 'took and circumcised him, on account 
 of the Jews who were in those places : for 
 they all knew that his father was a Greek : 
 
 4 And as they went through the cities, 
 they delivered them the decisions to ob- 
 serve, -^that had been ordained by the 
 apostles and elders at Jerusalem. 
 
 5 And f so the churches were established 
 in the faith, and increased in number daily. 
 
 6 And passing through Phrygia, and the 
 region of Galatia, being forbidden by the 
 Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia, 
 
 7 They came to Mysia, and endeavoured 
 to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit did not 
 permit them. 
 
 8 And passing by Mysia, "they came 
 down to Troas. 
 
 9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the 
 night: There stood a 'man of Macedonia, 
 beseeching him, and saying, Come over 
 into Macedonia, and help us. 
 
 10 And when he had seen the vision, 
 immediately we sought to go *into Mace-

 Paul and Silas imprisoned. 
 
 donia, concluding that the Lord had called 
 us to preach the gospel to them. 
 
 11 Therefore setting sail from Troas, we 
 took a straight course to Samothracia, and 
 the next day to Neapolis ; 
 
 12 And thence to 'Philippi, which is ||the 
 chief city of that part of Macedonia, and 
 a colony: and we continued in that city 
 some days. 
 
 13 And on the Sabbath we went out of the 
 city to the river, where prayer was accus- 
 tomed to be made ; and we sat down, and 
 spoke to the women who were assembled. 
 
 14 IT And a certain woman Lydia, a seller 
 of purple, of the city of Thyatira, who 
 worshipped God, heard us : whose ""heart 
 the Lord opened, to attend to the things 
 spoken by Paul. 
 
 15 And when she was immersed, and 
 her household, she besought us, saying, If 
 ye judge me to be a believer in the Lord, 
 come into my house, and remain there: 
 And "she constrained us. 
 
 16 If And it happened as we were going 
 to prayer, a certain damsel "having a spi- 
 rit ||of divination met us, who brought her 
 masters 'much gain by soothsaying : 
 
 17 She followed Paul and us, and cried, 
 saying, These men are servants of the most 
 high God, who announce to us the way of 
 salvation ! 
 
 18 And this she did many days. But 
 Paul 'being grieved, turned and said to 
 the spirit, I command thee in the name of 
 Jesus Christ to come out of her. r And he 
 came out the same hour. 
 
 19 If And 'her masters seeing that the 
 hope of their gain was gone, 'laid hold 
 of Paul and Silas, and "drew them into 
 the limarket to the rulers, 
 
 20 And brought them to the magistrates, 
 saying, These men, being Jews, "greatly 
 disturb our city, 
 
 21 And teach customs which are not law- 
 ful for us to receive or practise, being 
 Romans. 
 
 22 And the multitude rose up together 
 against them : and the magistrates rent off 
 their clothes, s and commanded to beat 
 them. 
 
 23 And having inflicted upon them many 
 stripes, they threw them into prison, charg- 
 ing the jailer to keep them safely ; 
 
 24 Who having received such a charge, 
 thrust them into the inner prison, and 
 made their feet fast in the stocks. 
 
 25 ^ And at midnight Paul and Silas 
 prayed, and sang praises to God : and the 
 prisoners heard them. 
 
 26 'And suddenly there was a great earth- 
 quake, so that the foundations of the prison 
 were shaken : and instantly "all the doors 
 were opened, and the bonds of all were 
 loosed. 
 
 27 And the jailer awaking from sleep, 
 and seeing the prison-doors open, drew his 
 sword, and was about to kill nimself, sup- 
 posing that the prisoners had escaped. 
 
 28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, say- 
 ing, Do thyself no harm : for we are all 
 here ! j- 
 
 29 And calling for a light, he sprang in, 
 and trembling, fell down before Paul and 
 Silas : 
 
 30 And bringing them out, said, 'Sirs, 
 what must I do to be saved ? 
 
Paul preacheth at Thessalonica, 
 
 CHAPTER XVII. 
 
 31 And they said, 'Believe on the Lord 
 Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and 
 thy house. 
 
 32 And they spoke to him the word of 
 the Lord, and to all who were in his 
 house. 
 
 33 And he took them at that hour of the 
 night, and washed their stripes; and was 
 immersed, he and all his, immediately. 
 
 34 And bringing them into his house, "lie 
 
 f>laced food before them, and rejoiced, be- 
 ievi'ng in God with all his house. 
 
 35 And when it was day, the magistrates 
 sent the sergeants, saying, Dismiss those 
 men. 
 
 36 And the jailer reported these words to 
 Paul, The magistrates have sent to let you 
 go : now therefore come forth, and go in 
 peace. 
 
 37 But Paul said to them, They have 
 beaten us openly uncondemned, 'being 
 Romans, and thrown us into prison ; and 
 now do they thrust us out secretly ? No ; 
 let them come themselves and bring us 
 out. 
 
 38 And the sergeants reported these words 
 to the magistrates: and they feared on 
 hearing that they were Romans. 
 
 39 And they came and besought them, 
 and bringing them out, 'desired them to 
 go forth from the city. 
 
 40 And coming out of the prison, ? they 
 went to the house of Lydia : and seeing 
 the brethren, they exhorted them, and de- 
 parted. 
 
 CHAPTER XVII. 
 
 1 Paul preacheth at Thessalonica, 4 where some be- 
 lieve, and others persecute him. 10 He is sent to 
 Berea, and preacheth there. 13 Being persecuted 
 at Thessalonica, 15 he cometh to Athens, and dis- 
 puteth, and preacheth the living God to them un 
 known, 34 whereby many are converted to Christ. 
 
 AND passing through Amphipolis, and 
 Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, 
 where was the synagogue of the Jews. 
 
 2 And Paul, as he was accustomed, "went 
 in among them, and for three Sabbaths rea 
 soned with them from the scriptures, 
 
 3 Opening them, and setting forth 'that 
 it was necessary that the Christ should 
 suffer, and rise from the dead; and that 
 this Jesus, ||whom I preach to you, is the 
 Christ. 
 
 4 'And some of them believed, and join- 
 ed themselves to Paul and rf Silas : and of 
 the devout Greeks a great multitude, and 
 not a few of the chief women. 
 
 5 U But the unbelieving Jews, moved with 
 envy, taking to them idle and vicious men, 
 and raising a mob, threw the city into a 
 tumult, and assaulting the house of 'Jason, 
 sought to bring them out to the people. 
 
 6 And not finding them, they drew Jason 
 and certain brethren to the rulers of the 
 city, crying, 'These who have turned the 
 world upside down, are come hither also ; 
 
 7 Whom Jason hath received : and these 
 all act contrary to the decrees of Cesar, 
 ^saying, that there is another king, one 
 Jesus. 
 
 8 And they troubled the people, and the 
 rulefs of the city, who heard this. 
 
 9 And having taken security from Jason 
 and the rest, they dismissed them. 
 
 10 f And *the brethren immediately sent 
 away Paul and Silas by night to Berea :

 at Berea, and at Athens. 
 
 who coming thither, went into the syna- 
 gogue of the Jews. 
 
 11 These were more noble than those in 
 Thessalonica, in that they received their 
 word with all readiness of mind, and 
 
 searched the scriptures daily, whether 
 this was so. 
 
 12 Therefore many of them believed ; and 
 of honourable Grecian women and men • 
 not a few. 
 
 13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica 
 knew that the word of God was preached 
 by Paul at Berea, they came thither also, 
 and stirred up the people. 
 
 14 *And then immediately the brethren 
 sent away Paul, to go to the sea : but Silas 
 and Timothy remained there still. 
 
 15 And those who conducted Paul brought 
 him to Athens : and 'receiving a command 
 to Silas and Timothy to come to him as 
 soon as possible, they departed. 
 
 16 If Now, while Paul waited for them at 
 Athens, m his spirit was stirred in him, when 
 he saw the city ||filled with idolatry. 
 
 17 Therefore he reasoned in the synago- 
 gue with the Jews, and with the devout 
 persons, and in the market daily with such 
 as met with him. 
 
 18 And some of the Epicurean and of the 
 Stoic philosophers encountered him. And 
 some said, What doth this babbler mean 
 to say ? others, He seemeth to be an an- 
 nouncer of strange gods: because he made 
 known to them Jesus, and the resurrection. 
 
 19 And they took him, and brought him 
 to the HAreopagus, saying, May we know 
 what this new doctrine is, which thou ut- 
 terest ? 
 
 20 For thou bringest certain strange 
 things to our ears; we would know there- 
 fore what these things mean. 
 
 21 (For all the Athenians and strangers 
 who were there, spent their time in nothing 
 else than in telling or hearing something 
 new.) 
 
 22 If And Paul standing in the midst of 
 the || Areopagus, said, Athenians, I perceive 
 that in all things ye are very religious. 
 
 23 For as I passed by, and surveyed your 
 Hobjects of worship, I found an altar with 
 this inscription, TO AN UNKNOWN 
 GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly 
 worship, him I declare to you. 
 
 24 "God who made the world, and all 
 things in it, being "Lord of heaven and 
 earth, p dwelleth not in temples made with 
 hands, 
 
 25 Nor is worshipped by men's hands, 
 'as though he needed any thing, since r he 
 giveth to all life, and breath, and all things ; 
 
 26 And he made of one blood all nations 
 of men to dwell on all the face of the 
 earth, determining appointed seasons, and 
 'the bounds of their habitation ; 
 
 27 'That they should seek the Lord, if 
 perchance they might feel after him, and 
 find him, "although he is not far from each 
 one of us: 
 
 28 For *in him we live, and move, and 
 have our being; "as also some of your own 
 poets have said, For we are also his off- 
 spring. 
 
 29 Being then the offspring of God, 'we 
 ought not to think that the Godhead is 
 like gold, or silver, or stone, graven by 
 art and man's device. 
 
 101 
 
Paul preacheth at Corinth. 
 
 30 And "the times of ignorance God 
 overlooked; but 'now cornmandeth all 
 men every where to repent : 
 
 31 Because he hath fixed a day, in which 
 e he will judge the world in righteousness, 
 by the man whom he hath appointed : of 
 which he hath llgiven assurance to all men, 
 in that ''he hath raised him from the dead. 
 
 32 If And when they heard of the resur- 
 rection of the dead, some ridiculed : and 
 others said, We will hear thee again con- 
 cerning this. 
 
 33 So Paul departed from among tlfem. 
 
 34 But certain men adhered to him, and 
 believed : among whom was Dionysius the 
 Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, 
 and others with them. 
 
 CHAPTER XVIII. 
 
 3 Paul laboureth with his hands, and preacheth at 
 Corinth to the Gentiles. 9 The Lord encourageth 
 him in a vision. 12 He is accused before Gallio 
 the proconsul, but is dismissed. 18 Afterwards 
 passing from city to city he strengtheneth the dis- 
 ciples. 24 Apollos, being more perfectly instructed 
 by Aquila and Priscilla, 28 preacheth Christ with 
 great efficacy. 
 
 AFTER this, Paul departed from Ath- 
 ens, and came to Corinth ; 
 
 2 And finding a certain Jew named 
 "Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from 
 Italy, with his wife Priscilla, (because 
 Claudius had commanded all the Jews to 
 depart from Rome,) he came to them ; 
 
 3 And because he was of the same trade, 
 he remained with them, 'and wrought, 
 (for by their occupation they were tent- 
 makers.) 
 
 4 "And he discoursed in the synagogue 
 every Sabbath, and persuaded both Jews 
 and Greeks. 
 
 5 And d when Silas and Timothy came 
 from Macedonia, Paul was "pressed in the 
 spirit, testifying earnestly to the Jews, that 
 Jesus || was the Christ. 
 
 6 And 'when they opposed themselves, 
 and reviled, s he shook his garments, and 
 said to them, *Your blood be upon your 
 own heads: *T am clean: "henceforth I 
 will go to the Gentiles. 
 
 7 \ And departing thence, he entered a 
 certain man's house, named Justus, one 
 who worshipped God, whose house was 
 adjoining the synagogue. 
 
 8 'And Crispus, the chief ruler of the 
 synagogue, believed on the Lord, with all 
 his house: and many of the Corinthians 
 hearing, believed, and were immersed. 
 
 9 And the Lord m said to Paul in the night 
 by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and 
 be not silent : 
 
 10 "For I am with thee, and no one shall 
 assail thee, to hurt thee : for I have much 
 people in this city. 
 
 11 And he tcontinued there a year and 
 six months, teaching among them the word 
 of God. 
 
 12 \ But when Gallio was proconsul of 
 Achaia, the Jews arose with one accord 
 against Paul, and brought him to the tri- 
 bunal, 
 
 13 Saying, This man persuadeth men to 
 worship God contrary to the law. 
 
 14 And as Paul was about to open his 
 mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, "If it were 
 a matter of wrong, or wickedness, ye Jews, 
 it would be reasonable that I should bear 
 with you :

 16 And he drove them from his tribunal . 
 
 17 Then all the Greeks took 'Sosthenes, 
 the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him 
 before the tribunal. And Gallio cared for 
 none of these things. 
 
 18 If And Paul iiaving remained many 
 days, took leave of the brethren, and sailed 
 thence into Syria, and with him Priscilla, 
 and Aquila; having 'shaven his head in 
 r Cenchrea: for he had a vow. 
 
 19 And he came to Ephesus, and left 
 them there: but he himself entered the 
 synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews. 
 
 20 And they desiring him to remain a 
 longer time with them, he did not con- 
 sent: 
 
 21 But bade them farewell, saying, 'I 
 must by all means keep the coming feast 
 at Jerusalem: but I will return again to 
 you, 'if God will. And he sailed from 
 Ephesus. 
 
 22 And landing at Cesarea, he went up, 
 and saluting the church, went down to 
 Antioch.

 departed and went over all the country of

 to Ephesus. 
 
 25 He had been instructed in the way of 
 the Lord : and being *fervent in the spirit, 
 he spoke and taught diligently the things 
 of the Lord, "knowing only the immersion 
 of John. 
 
 26 He began to speak boldly in the sy- 
 nagogue. But Aquila and Priscilla hear- 
 ing him, took him to them, and explained 
 to him the way of God more perfectly. 
 
 27 And he wishing to pass into Achaia, 
 the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples 
 to receive him: and when he came, he 
 greatly 'aided those who had believed 
 through grace. 
 
 28 For he powerfully confuted the Jews, 
 and that publicly, 'shewing by the scrip- 
 tures, that Jesus was the Christ. 
 
 CHAPTER XIX. 
 
 6 The Holy Spirit is given by Paul's hands. 9 The 
 Jews blaspheme his doctrine, which is confirmed by 
 miracles. 13 The Jewish exorcists 16 are beaten by 
 the demon. 19 Conjuring books are burnt. 24 De- 
 metrius, for love of gain, raiseth an uproar against 
 Paul, 35 which is appeased by the chancellor. 
 
 AND it happened, that while "Apollos 
 was at Corinth, Paul having passed 
 through the upper districts, came to Ephe- 
 sus ; and finding certain disciples, 
 
 2 He said to them, Have ye received the 
 Holy Spirit since ye believed ? And they 
 said to him, c We have not even heard that 
 the Holy Spirit is given. 
 
 3 And he said to them, To what then 
 were ye immersed ? And they said, d To 
 John's immersion. 
 
 4 Then said Paul, 'John indeed immersed 
 with the immersion of repentance, saying 
 to the people, that they should believe on 
 him who came after him, that is, on Christ 
 Jesus. 
 
Demetrius raiset an uproar, 
 
 5 And on hearing this, they were im- 
 mersed s in the name of the Lord Jesus ; 
 
 6 And Paul having *laid his hands upon 
 them, the Holy Spirit came on them ; and 
 *they spoke with tongues, and prophesied. 
 
 7 And all the men were about twelve. 
 
 8 'And he went into the synagogue, and 
 spoke openly three months, reasoning and 
 persuading the things 'concerning the king- 
 dom of God. 
 
 9 But 'when some were hardened, and 
 believed not, speaking evil m of his doctrine 
 before the multitude, he departed from 
 them, and separated his disciples, dis- 
 coursing daily in the school of one Tyran- 
 nus. 
 
 10 And "this continued for two years ; so 
 that all who dwelt in Asia heard the word 
 of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks. 
 
 11 And "God wrought no ordinary mira- 
 cles by the hands of Paul : 
 
 12 p So that handkerchiefs or aprons were 
 brought from his body to the sick, and their 
 diseases departed from them, and the evil 
 spirits went out of them. 
 
 13" \ "And some of the vagabond Jewish 
 exorcists 'undertook to name to those who 
 had evil spirits, the name of the Lord Je- 
 sus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom 
 Paul preacheth. 
 
 14 And there were seven sons of one 
 Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did this. 
 
 15 And the evil spirit ans wering.said, Jesus 
 I know, and Paul I know ; but who are ye ? 
 
 16 And the man in whom the evil spirit 
 was, leaped on them, and overcame them, 
 and prevailed against them, so that they 
 fled from that house naked and wounded. 
 
 17 And this was known to all, both Jews 
 and Greeks, dwelling at Ephesus : and 'fear 
 fell on them all, and the name of the Lord 
 Jesus was magnified. 
 
 18 And many of those who believed came, 
 'confessing and declaring their deeds. 
 
 19 And many of those who practised cu- 
 rious arts, brought their books together, and 
 burned them before all ; and they counted 
 the price of them, and found it fifty thou- 
 sand pieces of silver. 
 
 20 "So mightily did the word of God in- 
 crease and prevail ! 
 
 21 If "When this was ended, Paul "pur- 
 posed in his spirit passing through Mace- 
 donia, and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, say- 
 ing, After I have been there z l must also 
 see Rome. 
 
 22 So he sent into Macedonia two of 
 "those who attended upon him, Timothy 
 and 'Erastus; but he himself stayed in 
 Asia for a season. 
 
 23 And c at that time there arose no. little 
 tumult about d tthe doctrine. 
 
 24 For a certain man named Demetrius, 
 a silver-smith, who made silver ||temples 
 of Diana, brought 'no small gain to the 
 craftsmen ; 
 
 25 Whom he called together with the 
 workmen of like occupation, and said, 
 Sirs, ye know that by this employment we 
 have our wealth : 
 
 26 Moreover, ye see and hear, that not 
 only at Ephesus, but almost throughout all 
 Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned 
 away a great multitude, saying, that ^ those 
 are no gods that are made with hands. 
 
 27 And there is danger, not only that this

 which is with difficulty appeased. 
 
 our business will fall into disgrace; but 
 also that the temple of the great goddess 
 Diana will be despised, and her magnifi- 
 cence destroyed, whom all Asia, and the 
 world worshippeth. 
 
 28 And hearing this, they became full of 
 wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Dia- 
 na of the Ephesians ! 
 
 29 And the whole city was filled with 
 confusion: and seizing on *Gaius and 
 "Aristarchus, Macedonians, fellow-travel- 
 lers of Paul, they rushed with one accord 
 into the theatre. 
 
 SO And when Paul would have entered 
 in to the people, the disciples suffered him 
 not. 
 
 31 And some also of the chiefs of Asia, 
 who were his friends, sent to him, en- 
 treating him not to trust himself in the 
 theatre. 
 
 32 Some therefore cried one thing, and 
 some another : for the assembly was con- 
 fused, and the greater part knew not for 
 what they were come together. 
 
 33 And they drew Alexander out of the 
 multitude, the Jews putting him forward. 
 And 'Alexander *beckoning with the hand, 
 wished to make his defence to the people. 
 
 34 But learning that he was a Jew, all 
 with one voice, about two hours, cried out, 
 Great is Diana of the Ephesians ! 
 
 35 And the chancellor, having quieted 
 the people, said, Ye men of Ephesus, what 
 man is there who knoweth not that the 
 city of the Ephesians is ta worshipper of 
 the great goddess Diana, and of the image 
 which felldown from Jupiter ? 
 
 36 Since then this is undeniable, ye ought 
 to be quiet, and do nothing rashly. 
 
 57 For ye have brought hither these men, 
 who are neither robbers of temples, nor 
 revilers of your goddess. 
 
 38 If therefore Demetrius, and the crafts- 
 men who are with him, have a complaint 
 against any one, court days are held, and 
 there are deputies : let them implead one 
 another. 
 
 39 But if ye have a demand concerning 
 other matters, it shall be determined in 
 the ||regular assembly. 
 
 40 For we are in danger of being called 
 in question for this day's uproar, there 
 being no cause for which we can give an 
 account of this concourse. 
 
 41 And having thus spoken, he dismissed 
 the assembly. 
 
 CHAPTER XX. 
 
 1 Paul goeth to Macedonia. 7 He celebrateth the 
 Lord's supper, and preacheth. 9 Eutychus having 
 fallen down dead, 10 is raised to life. 17 At Mi- 
 letus he calleth the elders together, telleth them 
 what shall befall to himself, 28 committeth God's 
 flock to them, 29 warneth them of false teachers, 
 32 commendeth them to God, 36 prayeth with 
 them, and goeth his way. 
 
 AND after the tumult was ceased, Paul, 
 having called to him the disciples, and 
 embraced them, "departed to go into Ma- 
 cedonia. 
 
 2 And having gone through those regions, 
 and given them much exhortation, he came 
 into Greece, 
 
 3 And remained there three months. 
 And *a plot being laid for him by the Jews, 
 as he was about to sail into Syria, he pur- 
 posed to return through Macedonia. 
 
 4 And there accompanied him into Asia, 
 
 103 
 
Paul's charge to the ciders ofEphesus. 
 
 Sopater of Berea ; and of the Thessalo- 
 nians, "Aristarchus and Secundus; and 
 ''Gaius of Derbe, and 'Timothy ; and of 
 Asia, 'Tychicus and «Trophimus. 
 
 5 These going before, waited for us at 
 Troas. 
 
 6 And we sailed away from Philippi, af- 
 ter *the days of unleavened bread, and 
 within five days came to them ''to Troas ; 
 where we spent seven days. 
 
 7 And on *the first day of the week, when 
 the disciples came together 'to break 
 bread, Paul discoursed to them, (being 
 about to depart on the morrow,) and con- 
 tinued his discourse until midnight. 
 
 8 And there were many lights m m the up- 
 per chamber, where they were assembled. 
 
 9 And there sat on the window a certain 
 young man named Eutychus, being fallen 
 into a deep sleep : and as Paul discoursed 
 very long, he sunk down with sleep, and 
 fell down from the third story, and was 
 taken up dead. 
 
 10 And Paul went down, and "fell on 
 him, and embracing him, said, "Trouble 
 not yourselves ; for his life is in him. 
 
 11 And coming up again, he broke bread, 
 and ate, talked still a long while till break 
 of day, and so departed. 
 
 12 And they brought the young man alive, 
 and were not a little consoled. 
 
 13 If And we going forward to the ship, 
 sailed for Assos, there intending to take 
 in Paul : for he had thus appointed, being 
 himself about to go by land. 
 
 14 And when he met with us at Assos, 
 we took him in, and came to Mitylene. 
 
 15 And we sailed thence, and came 
 the next day over against Chios ; and the 
 next day we arrived at Samos, and after 
 staying at Trogyllium, came the next day 
 to Miletus. 
 
 16 For Paul had determined to sail by 
 Ephesus, that he might not spend time in 
 Asia : for 'he was hastening, if it were 
 possible for him, Ho be at Jerusalem by 
 the day of Pentecost. 
 
 17 If And from Miletus he sent to Ephe- 
 sus, and called the elders of the church. 
 
 18 And when they came to him, he said 
 to them. Ye know, *from the first day that 
 I came into Asia, how I have conducted 
 among you at all times, _ 
 
 19 Serving the Lord with all humility of 
 mind, and amidst many tears and trials, 
 which befell me ! by the plots of the Jews : 
 
 20 And how "I kept back nothing that 
 was profitable to you, but announced to 
 
 Sou, and taught you publicly, and from 
 ouse to house, 
 
 21 "Testifying both to Jews and Greeks, 
 "repentance toward God, and faith toward 
 our Lord Jesus Christ, 
 
 22 And now behold, Z I go bound in my 
 spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing what will 
 befall me there : 
 
 23 Except that "the Holy Spirit testifieth 
 in every city, saying, that bonds and 
 afflictions await me. 
 
 24 But 'none of these tilings move me, 
 nor do I hold my life dear to myself, "so 
 that I may finish my course with joy, d and 
 the ministry 'which I received from the 
 Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the 
 grace of God. 
 
 25 And now behold, 'I know that ye all,

 among whom I have gone proclaiming the 
 kingdom of God, will see my face no more. 
 
 26 Wherefore I take you to witness this 
 day, that I am «pure from the blood of all, 
 
 27 For A I have not shunned to declare to 
 you all "the counsel of God. 
 
 28 ^ *Take heed therefore to yourselves, 
 and to all the flock of which the Holy 
 Spirit 'hath made you overseers, to feed 
 the church of God, "which he hath pur- 
 chased "with his own blood. 
 
 29 For I know this, that after my depart- 
 ure, "grievous wolves will enter in among 
 you, not sparing the flock. 
 
 30 And p from among yourselves will men 
 arise, speaking perverse things, to draw 
 away the disciples after them. 
 
 31 Therefore watch, and remember, that 
 9 for three years I ceased not to warn every 
 one night and day with tears. 
 
 32 And now, brethren, I commend you 
 to God, and 'to the word of his grace, 
 which is able 'to build you up, and to give 
 you 'an inheritance among all those who 
 are sanctified. 
 
 33 "I have desired no man's silver, or 
 gold, or apparel. 
 
 34 Ye yourselves know, 'that these hands 
 have ministered to my wants, and to those 
 who were with me. 
 
 35 I have at all times shewed you, that 
 so labouring ye ought to assist the weak, 
 and to remember the words of the Lord 
 Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to 
 give than to receive. 
 
 36 If And having thus spoken, he 'kneeled 
 down, and prayed with them all. 
 
 37 And they all wept greatly, and "fell on 
 Paul's neck, and kissed him, 
 
 38 Sorrowing most of all for the words 
 'which he had spoken, that they should 
 see his face no more. And they accom- 
 panied him to the ship. 
 
 CHAPTER XXI. 
 
 1 Paul will not by any means be dissuadedfrom going 
 to Jerusalem. 9 Philip's daughters prophetesses. 
 17 Paul cometh to Jerusalem : 27 where he is appre- 
 hended, and in great danger, 31 but by the captain 
 is rescued, and permitted to speak to the people. 
 
 NOW after we had separated from them, 
 we set sail and came with a straight 
 course to Coos, and the day following to 
 Rhodes, and thence to Patara : 
 
 2 And finding a ship passing over to Phe- 
 nicia, we went aboard, and set forth. 
 
 3 And coining in sight of Cyprus, and 
 leaving it on the left, we sailed for Syria, 
 and landed at Tyre: for there the ship 
 was to unlade her burden. 
 
 4 And finding the disciples, we remained 
 there seven days: "who bade Paul through 
 the Spirit, not to go up to Jerusalem. 
 
 5 And when we nad finished those days, 
 we departed, and went on our way; and 
 they all conducted us forth, with their 
 wives and children, till we were out of 
 the city: and 4 we kneeled down on the 
 shore, and prayed. 
 
 6 And having taken our leave of one an- 
 other, we entered the ship ; and they re- 
 turned to "their homes. • 
 
 7 But we finishing-our voyage from Tyre, 
 came to Ptolemais, and saluting the bre- 
 thren, remained with them one day. 
 
 8 And the next day we who were of 
 Paul's company departed, and came to 
 
Paul arriveth at Jerusalem, where 
 
 Cesarea ; and entering the house of Philip 
 d the evangelist, 'who was one of the seven, 
 we remained with him. 
 
 9 And he had four virgin daughters, %ho 
 prophesied. 
 
 10 And while we remained there many 
 days, there came down from Judea a cer- 
 tain prophet, named ff Agabus. 
 
 11 And he came to us, and taking Paul's 
 girdle, bound his own hands and feet, and 
 said, Thus saith the Holy Spirit, "So will 
 the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man who 
 owneth this girdle, and deliver him into 
 the hands of the Gentiles. 
 
 12 And when we heard this, both we, 
 and those of the place, entreated him not 
 to go up to Jerusalem. 
 
 13 Then Paul answered, 'What mean ye 
 to weep, and to break my heart ? for I am 
 ready not only to be bound, but even to 
 die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord 
 Jesus. 
 
 14 And when he would not be persuaded, 
 we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord 
 be done ! 
 
 15 And after those days we gathered our 
 effects, and went up to Jerusalem. 
 
 16 There went with us also some disci- 
 ples from Cesarea, and brought with them 
 one Mnason of Cyprus, an old disciple, 
 with whom we should lodge. 
 
 17 'And when we were come to Jerusa- 
 lem, the brethren received us gladly. 
 
 18 And on the day following Paul went 
 with us to m James: and all the elders were 
 present. 
 
 19 And having saluted them, "he recounted 
 particularly what God had wrought among 
 the Gentiles "by his ministry. 
 
 20 And they, hearing it, glorified the Lord, 
 and said to him, Thou seest, brother, how 
 many thousands of Jews there are who be- 
 lieve; and they are all * zealous for the 
 law: 
 
 21 And they are informed concerning 
 thee, that thou teachest all the Jews who 
 are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, 
 bidding them not to circumcise their child- 
 ren, nor to walk in the law. 
 
 22 What is it therefore? the multitude 
 must necessarily come together : for they 
 will hear that thou art come. 
 
 23 Do therefore this which we say to thee : 
 We have four men who have a vow on 
 them ; 
 
 24 Take these, and purify thyself with 
 them, and pay their expenses, that they 
 may 'shave their heads : and all will know 
 that in what they were informed concern- 
 ing thee, there is nothing; but that thou 
 thyself also walkest in the observance of 
 the law. 
 
 25 But concerning the believing Gentiles, 
 'we wrote and decided that they observe 
 no such thing, only that they keep them- 
 selves from things offered to idols, and 
 from blood, and from things strangled, 
 and from fornication. 
 
 26 Then Paul took the men, and on the 
 next day purifying himself with them, 
 'entered the temple, Mlgiving notice of the 
 accomplishment of the days of purifica- 
 tion, until the offering should be offered 
 for each one of them. 
 
 27 And when the seven days were almost 
 ended, "the Jews from Asia, seeing him in

 the temple, stirred up all the people, and 
 *laid hands on him, 
 
 28 Crying out, Men of Israel, help ! This 
 is the man "who teacheth all men every 
 where against the people, and the law, 
 and this place : and further, hath brought 
 Greeks, also into the temple, and polluted 
 this holy place. 
 
 29 (For they had seen before with him in 
 the city, *Trophimus the Ephesian, whom 
 they supposed that Paul had brought into 
 the temple.) 
 
 30 And "all the city was aroused, and the; 
 people ran together: and they took Paul 
 and drew him out of the temple. And im 
 mediately the doors were shut. 
 
 31 And as they sought to kill him, tidings 
 came to the captain of the band, that all 
 Jerusalem was in an uproar; 
 
 32 'Who immediately took soldiers and 
 centurions, and ran down to them. And 
 they seeing the captain and the soldiers, 
 ceased beating Paul. 
 
 33 Then the captain came near and took 
 him, and 'commanded him to be bound 
 with two chains: and inquired who he 
 was, and what he had done. 
 
 ' 34 And some cried one thing, some an- 
 other, among the multitude: and being 
 unable to know the certainty on account 
 of the tumult, he commanded him to be 
 carried into the castle. 
 
 35 And when he came upon the stairs, it 
 happened that he was borne by the soldiers, 
 on account, of the violence of the people. 
 
 36 For the multitude of the people fol- 
 lowed, crying, ''Away with him ! 
 
 37 And as Paul was about to be led into 
 the castle, he said to the captain, May I 
 speak to thee ? But he said, Canst thou 
 speak Greek ? 
 
 38 'Art not thou the Egyptian, who some 
 time ago made an insurrection, and led off 
 into the desert those four thousand assas- 
 sins? 
 
 39 But Paul said, f l am a Jew of Tarsus, 
 a citizen of no obscure city in Cilicia: and 
 I beseech thee permit me to speak to the 
 people. 
 
 40 And he having given him permission, 
 Paul stood on the stairs, and ^beckoned 
 with his hand to the people. And a great 
 silence prevailing, he addressed them in 
 the Hebrew tongue, saying, 
 
 CHAPTER XXII. 
 
 1 Paul declareth at, large, how he was converted to 
 the faith, 17 and called to his apostleship. 22 At 
 the very mentioning of the Gentiles, the people ex- 
 claim on him. 24 He would have been scourged, 
 25 but claiming the privilege of a Roman, he es- 
 capeth. 
 
 ""DRETHREN, and fathers, hear my 
 -D defence which I now make to you. 
 
 2 (And hearing that he addressed them 
 in the Hebrew tongue, they kept the more 
 silence: and he saith,) 
 
 3 *I indeed am a Jew, born in Tarsus, of 
 Cilicia, yet brought up in this city 'at the 
 feet of /Gamaliel, instructed 'according to 
 the strictness of the law of our fathers, and 
 •'being zealous towards God, s as ye all are 
 to-day. 
 
 4 "And I persecuted this sect to death, 
 binding and delivering into prisons both 
 men and women.

 witness, and 'all the elders ; 'from whom 
 also having received letters to the bre- 
 thren, I was going to Damascus, to bring 
 those who were there bound to Jerusalem, 
 to be punished. 
 
 6 And 'it happened, that, as I made my 
 journey, and was approaching Damascus 
 about noon, suddenly a great light from 
 heaven shone around me. 
 
 7 And I fell to the ground, and heard a 
 voice saying to me, Saul, Saul, why per- 
 secutest thou me ? 
 
 8 And I answered, "Who art thou, Lord? 
 And he said to me, I am Jesus of Naza- 
 reth, whom thou persecutest. 
 
 9 And m those who were with me saw in 
 deed the light, and were terrified; but they 
 heard not the voice of him who spoke to 
 me. 
 
 10 And I said, What shall I do, Lord ? 
 And the Lord said to me, Arise, and go 
 into Damascus, and there it shall be told 
 thee of all which it is appointed thee to do. 
 
 11 And as I could not see from the bright- 
 ness of that light, being led by the hand 
 of those who were with me, I came into 
 Damascus. 
 
 12 And "one Ananias, a devout man ac- 
 cording to the law, "having a good report 
 from all the p Jews who dwelt there, 
 
 13 Came to me, and stood, and said to 
 me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And 
 the same hour I looked upon him. 
 
 14 And he said, 'The God of our fathers 
 r hath appointed thee to know his will, and 
 to 'see 'the Just One, and "to hear the 
 voice of his mouth. 
 
 15 z For thou shalt be his witness to all 
 men of "what thou hast seen and heard. 
 
 16 And now why delayest thou? arise, 
 be immersed, *and wash away thy sins, 
 "calling on the name of the Lord. 
 
 17 And 'it came to pass, that, having re- 
 turned to Jerusalem, as I was praying in 
 the temple, I was in a trance ; 
 
 18 And 'saw him saying to me, d Hasten, 
 and go forth quickly from Jerusalem ; for 
 they will not receive thy testimony con- 
 cerning me. 
 
 19 And I said, Lord, 'they know that I 
 imprisoned, and 'beat in every synagogue 
 those who believe on thee : 
 
 20 «And when the blood of thy witness 
 Stephen was shed, I myself also stood by, 
 and "approved his death, and kept the gar- 
 ments of those who slew him. 
 
 21 And he said to me, Depart : ; for I will 
 send thee afar to the Gentiles. 
 
 22 And they heard him up to this word, 
 and then raised their voices, and said, 
 \Away with such a man from the earth ! 
 for it is not fit that 'he should live ! 
 
 23 And as they cried out, and cast off' 
 their garments, and threw dust into the 
 air, 
 
 24 The captain commanded him to be 
 brought into the castle, and bade that he 
 should be examined by scourging; that he 
 might know wherefore they cried so against 
 him. 
 
 25 And as they bound him with thongs, 
 Paul said to the centurion who stood by, 
 m Is it lawful for you to scourge a Roman, 
 and uncondemned? 
 
 26 When the centurion heard that, he 
 went and told the captain, saying, Take

 II Or, with an 
 oath oj execra- 
 tion. 
 
 He is brought before the council. 
 
 heed what thou doest; for this man is a 
 Roman. 
 
 27 And the captain came, and said to 
 him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? He 
 said, Yea. 
 
 28 And the captain answered, "With a 
 great sum I bought my citizenship. And 
 Paul said, But I was free-born. 
 
 29 Immediately therefore those who were 
 about to Hexamine him, departed from him: 
 and the captain also feared, after he knew 
 that he was a Roman, and because he had 
 bound him. 
 
 30 On the morrow, wishing to know with 
 certainty why he was Accused by the Jews, 
 he released him from his bands, and com- 
 manded the chief priests and all the coun- 
 cil to come together, and brought Paul 
 down, and placed him before them. 
 
 CHAPTER XXIII. 
 
 1 As Paul pleadeth his cause, 2 Ananias commandeth 
 them to smite him. 7 Dissension among his ac- 
 cusers. 11 God encourageth him. 14 The Jews' 
 laying wait for Paul 20 is declared to the captain. 
 27 He sendeth him to Felix the governor. 
 
 AND Paul, fixing his eyes on the coun- 
 cil, said, Brethren, "I have lived in all 
 good conscience before God until this day. 
 
 2 And the high priest Ananias command- 
 ed those who stood by him, l to smite him 
 on the mouth. 
 
 3 Then Paul said to him, God will smite 
 thee, thou whited wall ! for sittest thou to 
 judge me according to the law, and ' com- 
 mandest me to be smitten contrary to the 
 law? 
 
 4 And those who stood by, said, Revilest 
 thou God's high priest ? 
 
 5 And Paul said, d I knew not, brethren, 
 that he was the high priest : for it is writ- 
 ten, 'Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler 
 of thy people. 
 
 6 And Paul, knowing that the one part 
 were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, 
 cried out in the council, Brethren, f l am a 
 Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee : S I airf tried 
 concerning the hope and resurrection of the 
 dead. 
 
 7 And as he said this, there arose a dis- 
 sension between the Pharisees and the Sad- 
 ducees : and the multitude was divided. 
 
 8 Tor the Sadducees say that there is no 
 resurrection, nor angel, nor spirit: but the 
 Pharisees acknowledge both. 
 
 9 And there arose a great clamour : and 
 the scribes who belonged to the party of 
 the Pharisees, arose, and contended, say- 
 ing, ''We find no evil in this man: but *if a 
 spirit or an angel hath spoken to him, 'let 
 us not fight against God. 
 
 10 And a great dissension arising, the 
 captain, fearing that Paul would be pulled 
 in pieces by them, commanded the soldiers 
 to go down, and take him from among 
 them, and bring him to the castle. 
 
 11 And m the night following the Lord 
 stood by him, and said, Take courage, 
 Paul : for as thou hast testified of me in 
 Jerusalem, so thou must also testify at 
 Rome. 
 
 12 And when it was day, "some of the 
 Jews banded together, and bound them- 
 selves || under a curse, saying, that they 
 would neither eat nor drink till they had 
 killed Paul. 
 
 
A conspiracy against Paul discovered. CHAPTER XXIV. Paid, being accused, defendeth himself. 
 
 13 And there were more than forty who 
 had made this conspiracy. 
 
 14 And they came to the chief priests 
 and elders, and said, We have bound our- 
 selves by a curse, to eat nothing until we 
 have slain Paul. 
 
 15 Now therefore do ye with the council 
 give notice to the captain, that he bring 
 him down to you to-morrow, as though ye 
 would ascertain something more accurately 
 concerning him : and we, before he is near, 
 are ready to kill him. 
 
 16 And the son of Paul's sister hearing 
 of their plot, went and entered into the 
 castle, and told Paul. 
 
 17 Then Paul called one of the centu- 
 rions to him, and said, Bring this young 
 man to the captain ; for he hath something 
 to tell him. 
 
 18 So he took him, and brought him to 
 the captain, and said, Paul the prisoner 
 called me to him, and asked me to bring 
 this young man to thee, who hath some- 
 thing to say to thee. 
 
 19 And the captain took him by the hand, 
 and going aside privately, asked him, What 
 is it which thou hast to tell me ? 
 
 20 And he said, "The Jews have agreed 
 to desire thee, to bring down Paul to-mor- 
 row into the council, as though they would 
 inquire somewhat more accurately con- 
 cerning him. 
 
 21 But do not thou yield to them: for 
 more than forty men of them lie in wait 
 for him, who have bound themselves with 
 an oath, neither to eat nor drink till they 
 have killed him : and now they are ready, 
 looking for a promise from thee. 
 
 22 So the chief captain dismissed the 
 young man with the charge, Tell no one 
 that thou hast shewed these things to 
 me. 
 
 23 And he called to him two centurions, 
 saying, Make ready two hundred soldiers 
 to go to Cesarea, and seventy horsemen, 
 and two hundred spearmen, at the third 
 hour of the night ; 
 
 24 And provide them beasts, that they 
 may set Paul on, and bring him safe to 
 Felix the governor. 
 
 25 And he wrote a letter to this effect : 
 
 26 Claudius Lysias, to the most excellent 
 governor Felix, sendeth geeeting. 
 
 27 ^This man was taken by the Jews, and 
 was about to be killed by them : But I 
 coming with my soldiers, rescued him, 
 having learned that he was a Roman. 
 
 28 'And wishing to know the reason why 
 they accused him, I brought him into their 
 council : 
 
 29 Whom I found to be accused r of 
 questions in their law, 'but charged with 
 nothing worthy of death, or of bonds. 
 
 30 And 'being informed that a plot was 
 about to be laid by the Jews against the 
 man, I sent him immediately to thee, 
 "commanding also his accusers to say before 
 thee what they had against him. Farewell. 
 
 31 So the soldiers, as they were com- 
 manded, took Paul, and brought him by 
 night to Antipatris. 
 
 32 On the morrow they left the horsemen 
 to go with him, and returned to the castle: 
 
 33 Who, coming to Cesarea, delivered 
 the epistle to the governor, and presented 
 Paul also before him.

 asked of what province he was. And 
 learning that he was from x Cilicia ;

 CHAPTER XXIV. 
 
 1 Paul being accused by Tertullus the orator, 10 an- 
 swer eth for his life and doctrine. 24 He preacheth 
 Christ to the governor and Ins wife. 26 The go- 
 vernor hopcthfor a bribe, but in vain. 27 At last, 
 going out of his office, he leaveth Paul in prison. 
 
 AND after "five days, 'Ananias the high 
 priest descended with the elders and 
 a certain orator named Tertullus, who in- 
 formed the governor against Paul. 
 
 2 And he being called forth, Tertullus 
 began to accuse him, saying, Since by thee 
 we enjoy great quietness, and prosperity 
 ariseth to this nation by thy providence, 
 
 3 We accept it always, and in all places, 
 most noble Felix, with all thankfulness. 
 
 4 But lest I trouble thee too far, I pray 
 thee to hear us in thy clemency a few 
 words. 
 
 5 "For finding this man to be a pest, and 
 a mover of sedition among all the Jews 
 throughout the empire, and a ring-leader 
 of the sect of the Nazarenes, 
 
 6 d And one who endeavoured to profane 
 the temple, we took him, and would c have 
 tried him according to our law : 
 
 7 -'But Lysias the captain came upon us, 
 and with great violence took him from our 
 hands, 
 
 8 ^Commanding his accusers to come to 
 thee : by examining whom thou canst thy- 
 self ascertain concerning every thing of 
 which we accuse him. 
 
 9 And the Jews also assented, saying, 
 That this was so. 
 
 10 Then Paul, the governor having beck- 
 oned to him to speak, answered, Since I 
 know thee to have been for many years a 
 judge to this nation, I the more cheerfully 
 plead for myself: 
 
 11 For thou canst know, that it is not 
 more than twelve days since I went up to 
 Jerusalem *to worship. 
 
 12 "And they neither found me in the 
 temple discoursing with any one, nor ex- 
 citing the multitude either in the syna- 
 gogues, or in the city : 
 
 13 Nor can they prove the things of which 
 they now accuse me. 
 
 14 But this I acknowledge to thee, that 
 according to the 'doctrine which they call 
 heresy, thus I worship the 'God of my 
 fathers, believing all things which are 
 written in m the law and in the prophets : 
 
 15 "Having hope toward God, which they 
 themselves also cherish, "that there will be 
 a resurrection of the dead, both just and 
 unjust. 
 
 16 And -'for this do I strive always to 
 have a pure conscience towards God and 
 towards men. 
 
 17 Now, after many years, «I came to 
 bring alms to my nation, and offerings. 
 
 18 'Upon which certain Jews from Asia 
 found me purified in the temple, neither 
 with multitude, nor with tumult : 
 
 19 'Who ought to have been here before 
 thee, and accuse, if they had aught against 
 me. 
 
 20 Or let these persons themselves say, 
 
 107 
 
Felix trembleth before Paul. 
 
 what crime they found in me, while I stood 
 before the council, 
 
 21 Unless for that one declaration which 
 
 1 uttered aloud while standing among them, 
 'For the resurrection of the dead I am tried 
 by you to-day. 
 
 22 And Felix hearing this, being more 
 accurately acquainted with the doctrine, 
 put them off, saying, When "Lysias the 
 captain shall come down, I will inquire 
 fully into your cause. 
 
 23 And he commanded the centurion to 
 keep Paul, and to let him have liberty, 
 and *to forbid none of his acquaintance to 
 serve him or come to him. 
 
 24 And after some days, Felix coming 
 with his wife Brasilia, a Jewess, sent for 
 Paul, and heard him concerning the faith 
 in Christ. 
 
 25 And as he discoursed concerning right- 
 eousness, temperance, and the judgment 
 to come, Felix trembled, and answered, 
 Depart for the present; when I have a con- 
 venient season, I will call for thee. 
 
 26 He hoped also that ^money would be 
 given him by Paul, that he might release 
 him : wherefore he sent for him the oftener, 
 and conversed with him. 
 
 27 But after two years Porcius Festus 
 succeeded Felix: and Felix, z wishing to 
 gain favour with the Jews, left Paul bound. 
 
 CHAPTER XXV. 
 
 2 The Jews accuse Paul before Festus. 8 He answer- 
 ethfor himself, 11 andappealeth to Cesar. 14 Af- 
 terwards Festus openetk the matter to king Agrip- 
 pa, 23 and he is brought forth. 25 Festus clear eth 
 him to have done nothing worthy of death. 
 
 NOW when Festus was come into the 
 province, after three days he went up 
 from Cesarea to Jerusalem. 
 
 2 "And the high priest and the chief of 
 the Jews informed him against Paul, and 
 besought him, 
 
 3 Asking a favour against him, that he 
 would send for him to Jerusalem, 'while 
 they laid a plot to slay him on the road. 
 
 4 But Festus answei-ed, that Paul was 
 in keeping at Cesarea, and that he himself 
 should soon go thither. 
 
 5 Let then, said he, the powerful among 
 you go down with me, and c if there is any 
 charge against this man, accuse him . 
 
 6 And having spent among them ||more 
 than ten days, ne went down to Cesarea ; 
 and the next day sitting on his tribunal, 
 commanded Paul to be brought. 
 
 7 And when he was come, the Jews who 
 came down from Jerusalem stood around, 
 ''alleging many weighty charges against 
 Paul, which they could not prove; 
 
 8 While he said in defence, "Neither 
 against the law of the Jews, nor against 
 the temple, nor against Cesar have I com- 
 mitted any offence. 
 
 9 But Festus, ^wishing to gain the favour 
 of the Jews, answered Paul, and said, 
 e Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there 
 be tried for these things before me ? 
 
 10 Then said Paul, I stand at Cesar's 
 tribunal, where I ought to be tried: to the 
 Jews I have done no wrong, as thou very 
 well knowest. 
 
 11 *For if I am an offender, and have 
 committed any thing worthy of death, I 
 refuse not to die : but if there is nothing 
 in the things of which they accuse me, no

 Paul is brought before Agrippa. 
 
 one can yield me to their pleasure. 'T ap- 
 peal to Cesar. 
 
 12 Then Festus, when he had conferred 
 with the council, answered, Thou hast 
 appealed to Cesar ; thou shaltgo to Cesar. 
 
 13 And after some days, king Agrippa 
 and Bernice came to Cesarea, to salute 
 Festus. 
 
 14 And as they were spending there 
 several days, Festus laid before the king 
 the case of Paul, saying, 'There is a certain 
 man left in bonds by Felix : 
 
 1 5 'About whom, when I was at Jerusa- 
 lem, the chief priests and the Jewish elders 
 informed me, demanding his condemna- 
 tion. 
 
 16 m To whom I answered, It is not the 
 custom of the Romans to deliver any man 
 to death, before the accused hath his ac- 
 cusers face to face, and have opportunity 
 to defend himself against the charge. 
 
 17 Therefore, when they were come 
 hither, "without any delay on the next day 
 I sat on the tribunal, and ordered the man 
 to be brought forth ; 
 
 18 Against whom, when the accusers 
 stood up, they brought no such charges as 
 I expected : 
 
 19 "But had certain controversies with 
 him concerning their own religion, and 
 about one Jesus, who had died, whom Paul 
 affirmed to be alive. 
 
 20 And I being at a loss about the ex- 
 amination of this matter, asked him whe- 
 ther he would go to Jerusalem, and there, 
 be tried concerning these things. 
 
 21 But Paul appealing to be reserved to 
 the||hearingof Augustus, I commanded him 
 to be kept till I might send him to Cesar. 
 
 22 And p Agrippa said to Festus, I would 
 also hear the man myself. To-morrow, 
 said he, thou shalt hear him. 
 
 23 And on the morrow, Agrippa and Ber- 
 nice coming with great pomp, and entering 
 the place of hearing, with the captains and 
 principal men of the city, at the order of 
 Festus Paul was brought forth. 
 
 24 And Festus said, King Agrippa, and 
 all ye men who are here present with us, 
 ye see this man about whom «all the mul- 
 titude of the Jews applied to me, both at 
 Jerusalem, and here, crying that he ought 
 r not to live any longer. 
 
 25 But when I found that 'he had com- 
 mitted nothing worthy of death, 'and he 
 himself appealed to Augustus, I determined 
 to send him. 
 
 26 Of whom I have nothing certain to 
 write to my lord. Wherefore Ihavebrought 
 him forth before you, and especially before 
 thee, king Agrippa, that after examination 
 
 1 may have something to write. 
 
 27 For it seemed to me unreasonable to 
 send a prisoner, and not also to indicate 
 the charges against him. 
 
 CHAPTER XXVI. 
 
 2 Paul, in the presence of Agrippa, declareth his life 
 from his childhood, 12 and how miraculously he 
 was converted, and called to his apostleship. 24 
 Festus chargelh him to be mad, whereto he answer- 
 cth modestly. 28 Agrippa is almost persuaded to 
 be a Christian. Zi-The whole company pronounce 
 him innocent. 
 
 THEN Agrippa said to Paul, Thou art 
 permitted to speak for thyself. Then 
 Paul stretched forth his hand, and began 
 his defence : 
 
PaiiPs defence before Jlgrippa. 
 
 CHAPTER XXVII. 
 
 He is declared by all to be innocent. 
 
 2 I think myself happy, king Agrippa, 
 that I am to defend myself to-day before 
 thee, concerning all the things of which I 
 am accused by the Jews : 
 
 3 Especially, because I know thee to be 
 acquainted with all the customs and ques- 
 tions which are among the Jews: where- 
 fore I entreat thee to hear me patiently. 
 
 4 My mode of life from my youth, which 
 was from the beginning among mine own 
 nation at Jerusalem, know all the Jews, 
 
 5 Who knew me from the beginning, (if 
 they will testify,) that according to "the 
 strictest sect of our religion, 1 lived 
 Pharisee. 
 
 6 4 And now I stand, and am tried for the 
 hope of c the promise made by God to our 
 fathers : 
 
 7 To which promise d our twelve tribes, 
 earnestly serving God t'day and night, 
 ■''hope to attain. Concerning which hope, 
 king Agrippa, I am accused by the Jews. 
 
 8 What ! is it thought a thing incredible 
 with you, that God should raise the dead ? 
 
 9 S I indeed thought with myself, that I 
 ought to do many things contrary to the 
 name of Jesus of Nazareth. 
 
 10 *Which I also did in Jerusalem : and 
 many of the saints I shut up in prison, 
 haying received authority 'from the chief 
 
 friests ; and when they were put to death, 
 gave my voice against them. 
 
 11 *And I punished them in every syna- 
 gogue, and compelled them to blaspheme ; 
 and being exceedingly mad against them, 
 I persecuted them even to strange cities. 
 
 12 'Upon which, as I went to Damascus, 
 with authority and commission from the 
 chief priests, 
 
 13 At mid-day, king, I saw in the way 
 a light from heaven, above the brightness 
 of the sun, shining around me, and those 
 who journeyed with me. 
 
 14 And we having all fallen to the earth, 
 I heard a voice speaking to me, and saying 
 in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why 
 persecutest thou me ? It is hard for thee to 
 kick against the goads. 
 
 15 And I said, Who art thou, Lord? 
 And he said, I am Jesus whom thou per- 
 secutest. 
 
 16 But arise, and stand upon thy feet : 
 for I have appeared to thee for this pur- 
 pose, m to appoint thee a minister and a 
 witness both of what thou hast seen, and 
 of tvvhat I will reveal to thee ; 
 
 17 Delivering thee from the people, and 
 from the Gentiles, "to whom now I send 
 thee, 
 
 18 "To open their eyes, and p to turn them 
 from darkness to light, and from the power 
 of Satan to God, 'that they may receive 
 forgiveness of sins, and 'inheritance among 
 those who are 'sanctified by faith in me. 
 
 19 Whereupon, king Agrippa, I was not 
 disobedient to the heavenly vision : 
 
 20 But 'shewed first to those of Damas- 
 cus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all 
 the regions of Judea, and to the Gentiles, 
 that they should repent and turn to God, 
 doing "works worthy of repentance. 
 
 21 For these reasons 'the Jews seizing me 
 in the temple, endeavoured to kill me. 
 
 22 Having therefore obtained assistance 
 from God, I continue to this day, testify- 
 ing both to small and great, saying nothing

 except ^what the prophets and "Moses said 
 was to happen : 
 
 23 "That the Christ would suffer, and 
 "that he, having first arisen from the dead 
 'would shew light to his people, and to the 
 Gentiles. 
 
 24 And as he thus made his defence, Fes- 
 tus said with a loud voice, Paul, d thou art 
 mad ! thy much learning maketh thee mad. 
 
 25 But he said, I am not mad, most no- 
 ble Festus; but I utter the words of truth 
 and soberness. 
 
 26 For the king knoweth concerning these 
 things, before whom also I speak freely. 
 For I am persuaded that none of these 
 things are hidden from him ; for this hath 
 not been done in a corner. 
 
 27 King Agrippa, believest thou the pro- 
 phets ? I know that thou believest. 
 
 28 And Agrippa said to Paul, Almost 
 thou persuadest me to become a Christian. 
 
 29 And Paul said, e I would to God, that 
 not only thou, but also all who hear me to- 
 day, were both almost, and altogether such 
 as I am, except these bonds. 
 
 30 And when he had thus spoken, the 
 king rose up, and the governor, and Ber- 
 nice, and those who sat with them : 
 
 31 And they retired, and talked between 
 themselves, saying, 'This man doeth ao- 
 thing worthy of death, or of bonds. 
 
 32 And Agrippa said to Festus, This man 
 might have been set at liberty, «if he had 
 not appealed to Cesar. 
 
 CHAPTER XXVII. 
 
 1 Paul shipping toward Some, 10 foretellelh of the 
 danger of Ike voyage, 11 hit is not believed. 
 14 They are tossed to and fro with tempest, 41 and 
 suffer shipwreck, 22, 34, 44 yet all come safe lo 
 land. 
 
 AND when "it was determined that we 
 should sail into Italy, they delivered 
 Paul and certain other prisoners to a cen- 
 turion named Julius, ol the band of Au- 
 gustus. 
 
 2 And entering into a ship of Adramyt- 
 tium, we launched, meaning to sail by the 
 coasts of Asia, *Aristarchus, a Macedonian 
 of Thessalonica, being with us. 
 
 3 And the next day we touched at Sidon. 
 And Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave 
 him liberty to go to his friends*to refresh 
 himself. 
 
 4 And launching thence, we sailed under 
 Cyprus, because the winds were contrary. 
 
 5 And sailing over the sea of Cilicia and 
 Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of 
 Lycia. 
 
 6 And there the centurion found a ship 
 of Alexandria sailing into Italy, and put 
 us on board of it. 
 
 7 And sailing slowly many days, and 
 hardly coming over against Cnidus, the 
 wind not suffering us, we ran under 
 ||Crete, at Salmone : 
 
 8 And hardly sailing along the coast, we 
 came to a place called The Fair Havens ; 
 near which was the city of Lasea. 
 
 9 And much time having been spent, and 
 sailing being now dangerous, d because the 
 fast was already passed, Paul admonished 
 them, 
 
 10 Saying, Sirs, I perceive that this voy- 
 age will be with injury and great loss, not 
 only of the lading and ship, but also of our 
 lives. 
 
 109 
 
Paul's dangerous voyage and shipwreck. 
 
 11 But the centurion yielded rather to 
 the pilot and the master of the ship than 
 to what was said by Paul. 
 
 12 And the harbour being unfit to winter 
 in, the most advised to sail thence also, if 
 perchance they might reach Phoenix, a 
 harbour of Crete, lying towards the south- 
 west and north-west, and there winter. 
 
 13 And a gentle south wind blowing, they 
 supposed they had obtained their purpose, 
 and weighing anchor, sailed along close by 
 Crete. 
 
 14 But not long after there llarose against 
 it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon. 
 
 15 And the ship being caught, and un- 
 able to face the wind, we gave up, and let 
 her drift. 
 
 16 And running under a certain island 
 called Clauda, we could hardly get pos- 
 session of the boat : 
 
 17 Which they took up, and used helps, 
 undergirding the ship; and fearing lest 
 they should fall into the quicksands, low- 
 ered the tmast, and so were driven. 
 
 18 And we being violently tossed by the 
 tempest, the next day they lightened the 
 ship; 
 
 19 And on the third day 'we threw over 
 with our own hands the tackling of the 
 ship. 
 
 20 And as neither sun nor stars appeared 
 for many days, and a violent storm pressed 
 upon us, all hope of safety was at last 
 taken away. 
 
 21 And all neglecting food, Paul stood 
 forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, 
 ye should have hearkened to me, and not 
 nave sailed from Crete, and so have been 
 spared this harm and loss. 
 
 22 And now I exhort you to take cou- 
 rage: for there shall be no loss of life 
 among you, but of the ship. 
 
 23 ^For there stood by me this night 
 an angel of God, whose I am, and ff whom 
 I serve, 
 
 24 Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must 
 stand before Cesar : and lo, God hath 
 given thee all who sail with thee. 
 
 25 "Wherefore, sirs, take courage : A for I 
 believe God, that it will be as it was told 
 me. 
 
 26 But 'we must be thrown upon a cer- 
 tain island. 
 
 27 But when the fourteenth night was 
 come, as we were driven up and down in 
 the Adriatic, about midnight the shipmen 
 suspected that they were approaching some 
 country; 
 
 28 And sounded, and found it twenty 
 fathoms : and going a little further, they 
 sounded again, and found it fifteen fa- 
 thoms. 
 
 29 And fearing lest they should fall upon 
 rocks, they cast four anchors from the 
 stern, and wished for the day. 
 
 30 And the sailors seeking to flee from 
 the ship, and letting down the boat into 
 the sea, under the pretext that they were 
 about to cast anchors out of the foreship, 
 
 31 Paul said to the centurion, and to the 
 soldiers, Unless these remain in the ship, 
 ye cannot be saved. 
 
 32 Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of 
 the boat, and let her fall off. 
 
 33 And while the day was coming on, 
 Paul entreated them all to take food, say-

 •# viper fasteneth on his hand. 
 
 ing, To-day is the fourteenth day that ye 
 have waited, and continued fasting, having 
 taken nothing. 
 
 34 Wherefore I pray you to take some 
 food; for this is for your safety: for "there 
 shall not an hair fall from the head of any 
 of you. 
 
 35 And saying this, he took bread, and 
 'gave thanks to God in presence of them 
 all ; and he br6ke it, and began to eat. 
 
 36 Then they were all encouraged, and 
 they also took food. 
 
 37 And we were in all in the ship two 
 hundred and seventy-six "souls. 
 
 38 And when they had eaten enough, 
 they lightened the ship, and threw the 
 wheat into the sea. 
 
 39 And when it was day, they knew not 
 the land: but they discovered a certain 
 inlet with a convenient shore, into which 
 they were inclined, if possible, to thrust 
 the ship. 
 
 40 And cutting away the anchors, they 
 let them go into the sea, at the same time 
 loosing the rudder -bands ; and raising the 
 mainsail to the wind, they made toward 
 shore. 
 
 41 And falling into a tshallow place, "they 
 ran the ship aground ; and the forepart stuck 
 fast, and remained immovable, but the 
 stern was broken by the violence of the 
 waves. 
 
 42 And it was the plan of the soldiers to 
 kill the prisoners, lest any of them should 
 swim out, and escape. 
 
 43 But the centurion, wishing to save 
 Paul, kept them from their purpose, and 
 commanded that those who could swim, 
 should first plunge into the sea, and get to 
 land : 
 
 44 And the rest, some on boards, and 
 some on other pieces of the ship. And so 
 it happened, "that they all escaped safe to 
 land. 
 
 CHAPTER XXVIII. 
 
 1 Paul after his shipwreck is kindly entertained by 
 the barbarians. 5 The viper on his hand hurteth 
 him not. 8 He healeth many diseases in the island. 
 1 1 They depart towards Rome. 17 He declareth 
 to the Jews the cause of his coming. 24 After his 
 preaching some were persuaded, and some believed 
 not. 30 Yet he preacheth there two years. 
 
 AND having escaped, they learned that 
 "the island was called Melita. 
 
 2 And the 'barbarians shewed us no ordi- 
 nary kindness : for they kindled a fire, and 
 received us all under their care, on account 
 of the continued rain, and on account of 
 the cold. 
 
 3 And Paul having gathered a bundle of 
 sticks, and laid them on the fire, there 
 came a viper out of the heat, and fastened 
 on his hand. 
 
 4 And when the barbarians saw the ani- 
 mal hang on his hand, they said among 
 themselves, Assuredly this man is a mur- 
 derer, whom, though he hath escaped the 
 sea, yet justice suffereth not to live. 
 
 5 And he shook off the animal into the 
 fire, and "suffered no harm. 
 
 6 But they were expecting that he would 
 swell, or sudden\yfall dead : but after look- 
 ing a great while, and seeing no harm come 
 toliim, they changed their minds, and d said 
 that he was a god. 
 
 7 Near that place were the lands of the 
 chief man of the island, whose name was 
 
PauFs arrival at Borne. 
 
 CHAPTER XXVIII 
 
 He preaches there two years. 
 
 Publius; who received and entertained us 
 kindly three days. 
 
 8 And it happened, that the father of 
 Publius lay sick of a fever, and of a bloody- 
 flux: to whom Paul entered in, and 'pray- 
 ing, 'laid his hands on him, and healed 
 him. 
 
 9 Now this being done, the others also 
 who had diseases in the island, came, and 
 were healed : 
 
 10 Who also honoured us with many 
 ^honours ; and when we departed, furnish- 
 ed us with such things as we needed. 
 
 11 And after three months we departed 
 in a ship of Alexandria, which had winter- 
 ed in the island, whose sign was Castor 
 and Pollux. 
 
 12 And landing at Syracuse, we remain- 
 ed there three days. 
 
 13 And thence sailing about, we came to 
 Rhegium : and after one day the south 
 wind blew, and we came on the second 
 day to Puteoli : 
 
 14 Where we found brethren, and were 
 desired to tarry with them seven days : and 
 so we went towards Rome. 
 
 15 And from thence, when the brethren 
 heard of us, they came to meet us as far 
 as Appii-forum, and The Three Taverns; 
 whom when Paul saw, he thanked God, 
 and took courage. 
 
 16 And when we came to Rome, the cen- 
 turion delivered the prisoners to the captain 
 of the guard : but A Paul was permitted to 
 dwell by himself, with a soldier who guard- 
 ed him. 
 
 17 And it came to pass, that after three 
 days, Paul called together the chief of the 
 Jews. And when they were assembled, 
 he said to them, Brethren, "though I have 
 done nothing against the people, or customs 
 of our fathers, yet *I was delivered pri- 
 soner from Jerusalem into the hands of the 
 Romans : 
 
 18 Who 'having examined me, wished to 
 let me go, as there was no cause of death 
 in me.

 strained to appeal to Cesar; not that I had 
 any thing of which to accuse my nation. 
 
 20 For this cause, therefore, I have called 
 for you, to see and to speak with you : for 
 "on account of the hope of Israel I am 
 bound with "this chain. 
 
 21 And they said to him, We neither re- 
 ceived letters fromJudea concerning thee, 
 nor did any of our brethren come and re- 
 port or speak any evil of thee. 
 
 22 But we desire to hear from thee what 
 thou thinkest : for concerning this sect, we 
 know that it is every where 'spoken against. 
 
 23 And having appointed a day, many 
 came to him at his lodging: «to whom he 
 explained and testified the kingdom of God, 
 persuading them concerning Jesus, 'both 
 from the law of Moses and the prophets, 
 from morning till evening. 
 
 24 And 'some believed the things which 
 were spoken, and others believed not. 
 
 25 And disagreeing among themselves, 
 they departed, Paul having spoken one 
 word, Well did the Holy Spirit speak by 
 Isaiah the prophet to our fathers, 
 
 26 Saying, 'Go to this people, and say, 
 Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not un- 
 derstand ; and seeing ye shall see, and not 
 perceive. 
 
 27 For the heart of this people is become 
 gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, 
 and their eyes they have closed ; lest they 
 should see with their eyes, and hear with 
 their ears, and understand with their heart, 
 and should turn, and I should heal them. 
 
 28 Be it known therefore to you, that the 
 salvation of God is sent "to the Gentiles ; 
 and they will hear it. 
 
 29 And he having said this, the Jews de- 
 parted, having much dispute among them- 
 selves. 
 
 30 And Paul dwelt two whofe years in 
 his own hired house, and received all who 
 came in to him, 
 
 31 'Preaching the kingdom of God, and 
 teaching the things concerning the Lord 
 Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no one

 7 To all who are in Rome, beloved of 
 God, ""called to be saints : "Grace to you, 
 and peace from God our Father, and the 
 Lord Jesus Christ. 
 
 8 First, °I thank my God through Jesus 
 Christ for you all, that 'your faith is cele- 
 brated through the whole world. 
 
 9 For 'God is my witness, r whom I serve 
 II with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, 
 how 'unceasingly I remember you ; always 
 in my prayers 
 
 10 'Entreating (if by any means I may at 
 length have a prosperous journey "by the 
 will of God) to come to you. 
 
 11 For I long to see you, that X I may im- 
 part to you some spiritual gift, that ye may 
 be established ; 
 
 12 That is, that I may be comforted to- 
 gether with you, by "the mutual faith both 
 of you and me. 
 
 13 And I would not have you ignorant, 
 brethren, that 'I often purposed to come 
 to you, (but "was hindered hitherto,) that I 
 
 111 
 
The sins of the Gentiles. 
 
 might have some fruit Hamong you, as also 
 among the other Gentiles. 
 
 14 c l am debtor both to Greeks and Bar- 
 barians ; both to the wise and unwise. 
 
 15 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to 
 preach the gospel to you also who are at 
 Rome. 
 
 16 For d I am not ashamed of the gospel 
 of Christ: for 'it is the power of God for 
 salvation to every one who believeth ; J* to 
 the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 
 
 17 For ^therein is revealed a righteousness 
 of God || from faith to faith: as it is written, 
 ''The just shall live by faith. 
 
 18 'For the wrath of God is revealed from 
 heaven against all ungodliness, and un- 
 righteousness of men, who ||hinder the 
 truth by unrighteousness. 
 
 19 Because *what may be known of God, 
 is manifest among them; for 'God hath 
 manifested it to them. 
 
 20 For m his invisible attributes, both his 
 eternal power and Godhead, are, since the 
 creation of the world, clearly seen, being 
 understood by his works; ||so that they are 
 without excuse : 
 
 21 Because when they knew God, they 
 honoured him not as God, nor were thank- 
 ful, but "became vain in their imaginations, 
 and their foolish heart was darkened. 
 
 22 "Professing themselves to be wise, they 
 became fools ; 
 
 23 And changed the glory of the incor- 
 ruptible ""God into an image made like to 
 corruptible man, and to birds, and four- 
 footed beasts, and creeping things. 
 
 24 'Wherefore God also gave them up in 
 the desires of their hearts to uncleanness, 
 'to dishonour their own bodies 'among 
 themselves: 
 
 25 "Who changed 'the truth of God "into 
 a lie, and worshipped and served the crea- 
 tion instead of the Creator, who is blessed 
 for ever. Amen. 
 
 26 For this cause God gave them up to 
 ^shameful lusts. For their women changed 
 the natural use into that which is against 
 nature : 
 
 27 And in like manner also the males, 
 leaving the natural use of the female, burn- 
 ed in their lust towards one another ; males 
 with males practising abominations, and 
 receiving in themselves the due recom- 
 pense of their error. 
 
 28 And as they did not think proper 
 || to retain God in their knowledge, God 
 gave them over to ||a reprobate mind, to 
 do that 'which is not becoming : 
 
 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, 
 fornication, malignity, covetousness, mis- 
 chief; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, 
 malevolence; whisperers, 
 
 SO Backbiters, haters of God, insolent, 
 proud, boasters, inventors of evil, disobe- 
 dient to parents, 
 
 31 Without understanding, covenant- 
 breakers, || without natural affection, im- 
 placable, unmerciful : 
 
 32 Who, "knowing the ordinance of God, 
 that those who commit such things 'are 
 worthy of death; not only do them, but 
 || 'have pleasure in those who do them.

 Gentiles. 14 The Gentiles cannot escape, 17 nor

 THEREFORE thou art "inexcusable, O 
 -*- man, whoever thou art, that judgest ! 
 'for while thou judgest another, thou con- 
 demnest thyself; for thou who judgest, 
 doest the same things. 
 
 2 But we know that the judgment of God 
 is according to truth, upon those who prac- 
 tise such things. 
 
 3 And thinkest thou this, O man, who 
 judgest those practising such things, and 
 doest the same, that thou wilt escape the 
 judgment of God ? 
 
 4 Or despisest thou 'the riches of his 
 goodness, and ^forbearance, and 'long-suf- 
 fering ; ■''not knowing that the goodness of 
 God Teadeth thee to repentance ? 
 
 5 But by thy hardness and impenitent 
 heart, g treasurest up to thyselt wrath 
 against the day of wrath, and of the 
 revelation of the righteous judgment of 
 God; 
 
 6 "Who will render to each one accord- 
 ing to his deeds : 
 
 7 To those who by patient continuance 
 in well-doing, seek for glory, and honour, 
 and immortality, eternal life : 
 
 8 But to those who are contentious, and 
 'do not obey the truth, but obey unright- 
 eousness, indignation, and wrath : 
 
 9 Affliction and distress upon every soul 
 of man that doeth evil ; of the Jew "first, 
 and also of the Greek; 
 
 10 'But glory, honour, and peace, to every 
 one who worketh good ; to the Jew first, 
 and also to the Greek; 
 
 11 For "there is no respect of persons 
 with God. 
 
 12 For as many as have sinned without 
 law, will also perish without law : and as 
 many as have sinned under the law, will 
 be judged by the law, 
 
 13 (For "not the hearers of the law are 
 just before God, but the doers of the law 
 will be justified. 
 
 14 For when nations tha4; have no law, 
 do by nature the things contained in the 
 law, these having no law, are a law to 
 themselves. 
 
 15 Who shew the deeds of the law writ- 
 ten in their hearts, Htheir conscience also 
 bearing them witness, and their thoughts 
 Hmutually accusing, or also excusing them ;) 
 
 16 "In the day when God will judge the 
 secrets of men ? by Jesus Christ, 'accord- 
 ing to my gospel. 
 
 17 Behold, r thou art called a Jew, and 
 "restest in the law, 'and makest thy boast 
 in God, 
 
 18 And "knowest his will, and pprovest 
 what is right and wrong, being instructed 
 from the law, 
 
 19 And nrustest that thou thyself art a 
 guide of the blind, a light to those who are 
 in darkness, 
 
 20 An instructor of the ignorant, a teacher 
 of the simple, 'having in the law the very 
 form of knowledge, and of truth : 
 
 21 °Thou therefore who teachest another, 
 teachest thou "not thyself? thou who 
 preachest, a man should not steal, dost 
 thou steal ? 
 
 22 Thou who forbiddest to commit adul- 
 tery, dost thou commit adultery? thou who 
 
The Jews' 9 prerogative 
 
 abliorrest idols, 'dost thou commit sacri- 
 lege? 
 
 23 Thou who 'gloriest in the law, through 
 transgression ot the law dishonourest thou 
 God? 
 
 24 For the name of God is through you 
 blasphemed among the Gentiles, as it is 
 ^written. 
 
 25 'For circumcision indeed profiteth, if 
 thou keep the law ; but if thou be a trans- 
 gressor of the law, thy circumcision is be- 
 come uncircumcision. 
 
 26 If 'then the uncircumcised keep the 
 precepts of the law, will not his uncircum- 
 cision be counted for circumcision ? 
 
 27 And will not the uncircumcised by 
 nature, who fulfil the law, ff judge thee, 
 who with scripture and circumcision dost 
 transgress the law ? 
 
 28 For *he is not a Jew who is one out- 
 wardly; nor is that circumcision, which is 
 outward in the flesh : 
 
 29 But he is a Jew 'who is one inwardly ; 
 and *circumcision is that of the heart, 'in 
 the spirit, and not in the letter; "whose 
 praise is not of men, but of God. 
 
 CHAPTER III. 
 
 1 The Jews' prerogative : 8 which they have not lost : 
 9 yet the law convincelh them also of sin : 
 20 therefore no flesh is justified by the law, 28 but 
 all, without difference, by faith only : 31 and yet 
 the law is not abolished. 
 
 WHAT then is the prerogative of the 
 Jew ? or what the benefit of circum- 
 cision ? 
 
 2 Much every way: first, indeed, that 
 "they were entrusted with the oracles of 
 God. 
 
 ■3 For what though 'some were unbeliev 
 ing? 'will their unbelief make void the 
 faithfulness of God ? 
 
 4 ''By no means! rather let 'God be 
 true, but ^ every man a liar; as it is writ 
 ten, E That thou mayest be justified in thy 
 words, and mayest prevail when thou art 
 judged.

 say? Is God unrighteous who taketh

 judge the world ? 
 
 7 But if the truth of God hath abounded 
 through my lie to his glory, why am I also 
 still judged as a sinner ? 
 
 8 And why not, (as it is slanderously as- 
 serted of us, and as some affirm that we 
 say,) *Let us do evil, that good may come? 
 whose punishment is just. 
 
 9 What then ? have we any pre-eminence ? 
 Not at all : for we have already ' charged 
 both Je.ws and Gentiles with being all 
 under sin ; 
 
 10 As it is written, "There is none right- 
 eous, no, not one : 
 
 11 There is none who understandeth, 
 there is none who seeketh after God. 
 
 12 All are gone out of the way, they are 
 together become corrupt: there is none 
 who doeth good, not even one.

 IV. None are justified by the law. 
 
 16 Destruction and misery are in their 
 ways : 
 
 17 And the way of peace they know not. 
 
 18 'There is no fear of God before their 
 eyes. 
 
 19 Now we know that whatever 'the law 
 saith, it saith to those under the law : that 
 'every mouth may be stopped, and "all the 
 world may become llguilty before God. 
 
 20 Wherefore *by works of law, there 
 will no flesh be justified in his sight: for 
 "by law is the knowledge of sin. 
 
 21 But now *a righteousness of God is 
 manifested apart from law, "attested by 
 the law 'and the prophets ; 
 
 22 A righteousness of God, 'by faith in 
 Jesus Christ, for all, and upon all who be- 
 lieve ; for ''there is no difference : 
 
 23 For 'all have sinned, and come short 
 of the glory of God ; 
 
 24 Being justified freely 'by his grace, 
 ^through the redemption that is in Christ 
 Jesus: 
 
 25 Whom God hath ||set forth *to be a 
 propitiation, through faith, *by his blood, 
 to manifest his righteousness *for the lire- 
 mission of 'sins formerly committed during 
 the forbearance of God ; 
 
 26 To manifest, / say, at this time his 
 righteousness: that he may be just, and 
 justify him who believeth in Jesus. 
 
 27 m Where then is boasting ? It is ex- 
 cluded. By what law ? of works ? Nay; 
 but by the law of faith. 
 
 28 For we reckon "that a man is justified 
 by faith without works of law. 
 
 29 Is he the God of the Jews only ? is he 
 not also of the Gentiles ? Yes, of the Gen- 
 tiles also : 
 
 30 Since "it is one God who will justify 
 the circumcision by faith, and uncircum- 
 cision through faith. 
 
 31 Do we then by faith make void law? 
 By no means ; but we establish law. 
 
 CHAPTER IV. 
 
 1 Abraham's faith was imputed to him for righteous- 
 ness, 10 'before he was circumcised. 13 By faith 
 only he and his seed received the promise. 16 Abra- 
 ham is the father of all that believe. 24 Our faith 
 also shall be imputed to us for righteousness. 
 
 WHAT shall we then say that "Abra- 
 ham, our father, gained in respect to 
 the flesh? 
 
 2 Nothing; for if Abraham was found 
 'just by works, he hath whereof to glory 
 before men, but not before God. 
 
 3 For what saith the scripture ? 'Abraham 
 believed God, and it was counted to him 
 for righteousness. 
 
 4 Now ''to him who worketh, the reward 
 is not reckoned of grace, but of debt. 
 
 5 But to him who worketh not, but be- 
 lieveth on him who justifieth 'the ungodly, 
 his faith is counted for righteousness. 
 
 6 As also David describeth the happiness 
 of the man to whom God ascribeth right- 
 eousness, apart from works, 
 
 7 ^Happy they whose iniquities are for- 
 given, and whose sins are covered ! 
 
 8 Happy the man to whom the Lord 
 ascribeth not sin ! 
 
 9 Cometh this happiness then upon the 
 circumcised only, or also on the uncir- 
 cumcised ? For we say that his faith was 
 reckoned to Abraham tor righteousness. 
 
 10 How then was it reckoned ? when he 
 
 113 
 
The advantages and extent 
 
 was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision ? 
 Not in circumcision, but in uncircum- 
 cision. 
 
 11 And «he received the sign of circum- 
 cision, a seal of the righteousness of the 
 faith which he had while yet uncircumcis- 
 ed : that A he might be the father of all who 
 believe, though uncircumcised, that right- 
 eousness may be reckoned to them also ; 
 
 12 And the father of the circumcised not 
 only to those of the circumcision, but also 
 to those who walk in the steps of the faith 
 of our father Abraham, which he had while 
 yet uncircumcised. 
 
 13 For the promise that he should be 
 'heir of the world was not to Abraham, or 
 to his seed, by law, but by the righteous- 
 ness of faith. 
 
 14 For *if those of the law are heirs, faith 
 is made void, and the promise is done 
 away. 
 
 15 Because 'the law worketh wrath: for 
 where no law is, neither is there trans- 
 gression. 
 
 16 Therefore it was of faith, that it might 
 be m by grace ; "in order that the promise 
 might be sure to all the seed : not to that 
 only which is of the law, but to that also 
 which is of the faith of Abraham, "who is 
 the father of us all, 
 
 17 (As it is written, P I have made thee a 
 father of many nations,) Hbefore God whom 
 he believed, 'who giveth life to the dead, 
 and calleth those 'things which are not, as 
 though they were. 
 
 18 Who against hope believed with hope, 
 that he should become the father of many 
 nations ; according to what had been said, 
 'So shall thy seed be ; 
 
 19 And being not weak in faith, 'he con- 
 sidered not his own body already dead, 
 (he being about an hundred years old,) nor 
 the deadness of Sarah's womb. 
 
 20 Nor did he through unbelief doubt the 
 promise of God ; but was strong in faith, 
 giving glory to God ; 
 
 21 And being fully persuaded, that what 
 he had promised, "he was able also to 
 perform. 
 
 22 And therefore it was reckoned to him 
 for righteousness. 
 
 23 Now, *it was not written for his sake 
 alone, that it was reckoned to him; 
 
 24 But for ours also, to whom it is to be 
 reckoned, while we believe ^on him who 
 raised Jesus our Lord from the dead, 
 
 25 *Who was delivered for our offences, 
 and "raised for our justification. 
 
 CHAPTER V. 
 
 1 Being justified by faith, ive have peace with God, 
 2 and joy in our hope, 8 that since we were recon- 
 ciled by his blood, when we were enemies, 10 we 
 shall much more be saved being reconciled. 12 As 
 sin and death came by Adam, 17 so much more 
 righteousness and life by Jesus Christ. 20 Where 
 sin abounded, grace did superabound. 
 
 THEREFORE "being justified by faith, 
 we have 'peace with God, through our 
 Lord Jesus Christ: 
 
 2 c By whom also we have access by faith 
 to this grace d in which we stand, and 're- 
 joice in hope of the glory of God. 
 
 3 And not only so, but Ave also glory in 
 our afflictions; ^knowing that affliction 
 worketh patience; 
 
 4 *And patience, approbation ; and ap- 
 probation, hope :

 of justification by faith. 
 
 5 'And our hope doth not put us to shame : 
 'because the love of God is shed forth in 
 our hearts by the Holy Spirit who is given 
 to us. 
 
 6 For we being still llwretched, ||in due 
 season 'Christ died for the ungodly. 
 
 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will 
 one die : though perchance for the good 
 man some would even dare to die. 
 
 8 But m God establisheth his love toward 
 us, in that while we were yet sinners, 
 Christ died for us. 
 
 9 Much more then, being now justified 
 "by his blood, we shall be saved through 
 him "from wrath. 
 
 10 For p if when enemies, «we were re- 
 conciled to God by the death of his Son ; 
 much more, being reconciled, we shall be 
 saved 'by his life. 
 
 11 And not only so, but we also 'rejoice 
 in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, by 
 whom we have now received the recon- 
 ciliation. 
 
 12 ^[ Wherefore as 'by one man sin en- 
 tered into the world, and "death by sin ; 
 and so death passed through upon all men, 
 in that all sinned : 
 
 13 (For until the law, sin was in the 
 world : but *sin is not accounted when 
 there is no law. 
 
 14 Yet death reigned from Adam to Mo- 
 ses, even over those who had not sinned 
 after the likeness of Adam's transgression, 
 "who is a type of him that was to come. 
 
 15 But not as the offence, so also is the free 
 gift. For if through the offence of one the 
 many died, much more the grace of God, 
 and the gift by the grace of one man, Je- 
 sus Christ, hath abounded J to many. 
 
 16 And not as the sentence through one 
 who sinned, is the gift. For the sentence 
 was from one offence to condemnation, but 
 the free gift is of many offences to justifi- 
 cation. 
 
 17 For if ||by the offence of the one death 
 reigned through the one ; much more will 
 those who receive abundance of grace, and 
 of the gift of righteousness, reign in life 
 by the one, Jesus Christ.) 
 
 18 So then, as by one offence sentence 
 came upon all men to condemnation, so 
 also by one righteous act the free gift 
 came "upon all men to justification of life. 
 
 19 For as by the disobedience of the one 
 man the many were made sinners, so also 
 by the obedience of the one will the many 
 be made righteous. 
 
 20 And 'the law was introduced, that the 
 offence might abound. But where sin 
 abounded, grace much c more abounded: 
 
 21 That as sin hath reigned through death, 
 so also grace might reign through right- 
 eousness to eternal life, by Jesus Christ 
 our Lord. 
 
 CHAPTER VI. 
 
 1 We may not live in sin, 2 for we are dead to it, 
 3 as appear eth by our immersion. 12 Let not sin 
 reign any more, 18 because we have yielded our- 
 selves to the service of righteousness, 23 and be- 
 cause death is the wages of sin. 
 
 WHAT shall we say then ? "Shall we 
 continue iw sin, that grace may 
 abound ? 
 
 2 By no means ! how shall we, who are 
 Mead to sin, any longer live in it ? 
 
 3 Or are ye ignorant that c we who were 
 
Christians obliged to holiness. 
 
 immersed into Jesus Christ, d were immers- 
 ed into his death? 
 
 4 Therefore we were "buried with him by 
 our immersion into his death: that -^as 
 Christ was raised from the dead by ff the 
 glory of the Father, *so we also should 
 walk in newness of life. 
 
 5 'For if we have become united with 
 him in the likeness of his death, we shall 
 be also in that of his resurrection : 
 
 6 Knowing this, that *our old man was 
 crucified with him, that 'the body of sin 
 might be destroyed, that we should no 
 longer serve sin. 
 
 7 For m he who is dead is tfreed from sin. 
 
 8 But "if we are dead with Christ, we 
 believe that we shall also live with him : 
 
 9 Knowing that "Christ, being raised from 
 the dead, dieth no more ; death no longer 
 hath dominion over him. 
 
 10 For in that he died, ''he died once for 
 all to sin : but in that he liveth, <he liveth 
 to God. 
 
 11 So also do ye reckon yourselves to be 
 r dead indeed to sin, but 'alive to God 
 through Jesus Christ our Lord. 
 
 12 'Let not sin therefore reign in your 
 mortal body, that ye should obey it in its 
 desires. 
 
 13 Nor yield your "members to sin, as 
 tinstruments of unrighteousness: but "yield 
 yourselves to God, as alive from the dead, 
 and your members to God, as instruments 
 of righteousness : 
 
 14 For ''sin shall not have dominion over 
 you : for ye are not under law, but under 
 grace. 
 
 15 What then? shall we sin, because we 
 are not under law, but under grace ? By 
 no means. 
 
 16 Know ye not, that "to whom ye yield 
 yourselves servants to obey, his servants 
 ye are whom ye obey ; whether of sin to 
 deatii, or of obedience to righteousness ? 
 
 17 But God be thanked, that though ye 
 were the servants of sin, yet ye obeyed 
 from the heart *that form of doctrine twhich 
 was delivered to you ; 
 
 18 And being 'made free from sin, ye be- 
 came servants of righteousness. 
 
 19 (I speak after the manner of men, on 
 account of the infirmity of your flesh.) For 
 as ye have yielded your members servants 
 to uncleanness and iniquity, to practise 
 iniquity; so now yield your members ser- 
 vants to righteousness, to practise holiness. 
 
 20 For when ye were ''servants of sin, ye 
 were free as to righteousness. 
 
 21 'What fruit then had ye at that time 
 in the things of which ye are now ashamed ? 
 for ^the end of those things is death. . 
 
 22 But now f being made free from sin, 
 and become servants to God, ye have your 
 fruitto holiness, and the endeverlastinglife. 
 
 23 For *the wages of sin are death : but 
 'the gift of God is eternal life, through 
 Jesus Christ our Lord. 
 
 CHAPTER VII. 
 
 1 No law hath power over a man longer than he liveth. 
 4 But we are dead to the law. 7 Yet is not the law 
 sin, 12 but holy, just, good, 16 as I acknowledge, 
 xvho am grieved because 1 cannot keep it. 
 
 OR know ye not, brethren, (for I speak 
 to those who know the law,) that the 
 law hath dominion over the man as long 
 as he liveth ?

 The law of sin in our members. 
 
 2 For "the married woman is bound by 
 the law to her husband while he liveth; 
 but if her husband die, she is loosed from 
 the law of her husband. 
 
 3 So then, 'if while her husband liveth, 
 she be married to another man, she will 
 be called an adulteress: but if her hus- 
 band be dead, she is free from that law ; 
 so that she is no adulteress, though she be 
 married to another man. 
 
 4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are 
 become 'dead to the law by the body of 
 Christ; that ye should be married to an- 
 other, to him who is risen from the dead, 
 that we may ''bring forth fruit to God. 
 
 5 For when we were in the flesh, the 
 sinful passions, which were by the law, 
 •wrought in our members •''to bring forth 
 fruit to death : 
 
 6 But now we are delivered from the 
 law, llbeing dead to that in which we were 
 held; so that we serve s in newness of 
 spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter. 
 
 7 What shall we say then ? Is the law 
 sin ? By no means. Nay, *I had not known 
 sin, but by the law: for I had not known 
 unlawful desire, unless the law had said, 
 ; Thou shalt not covet. 
 
 8 But *sin, taking occasion by the com- 
 mandment, wrought in me every inordi- 
 nate desire. For 'without law sin is dead. 
 
 9 And I was alive without the law once: 
 but when the commandment came, sin 
 revived, and I died. 
 
 10 And the commandment "which was 
 given for life, proved to be for deatii . 
 
 11 For sin, taking occasion by the com- 
 mandment, led me astray, and by it slew 
 me. 
 
 12 So that "the law is holy, and the com- 
 mandment holy, and just, and good. 
 
 13 Hath then that which is good become 
 death to me ? By no means ! But sin ; 
 that it may be shown to be sin, working 
 death in me by that which is good ; that 
 sin may through the commandment be- 
 come exceedingly sinful. 
 
 14 For we know that the law is spiritual: 
 but I am carnal, "sold under sin. 
 
 15 For that which I do, I tapprove not: 
 for p l practise not that which I would, but 
 I do that which I hate. 
 
 16 And if I do that which I would not, I 
 assent to the law that it is good. 
 
 17 And now it is no longer I that do it, 
 but the sin that dwelleth in me. 
 
 18 For I know that 'in me (that is, in my 
 flesh) dwelleth nothing good : for to will 
 is present with me; but how to perform 
 what is good, I find not. 
 
 19 For the good which I would, I do not; 
 but the evil which I would not, that I do. 
 
 20 And if I do that which I would not, 
 it is no longer I that do it, but the sin that 
 dwelleth in me. 
 
 21 I find then the law, that when I would 
 do good, evil is present with me. 
 
 22 For I r have pleasure in the law of God, 
 as to 'the inward man : 
 
 23 But 'I see another law in a my mem- 
 bers warring against the law of my under- 
 standing, and rendering me captive to the 
 law of sin which is in my members. 
 
 24 Wretched man that I am ! who will 
 deliver me from this body of death ? 
 
 25 x l thank God, throiiah Jesus Christ 
 
 115 
 
Works of the flesh and Spirit. 
 
 our Lord. So then, with the understand- 
 ing indeed, 1 myself serve the law of God; 
 but with the flesh the law of sin. 
 
 CHAPTER VIII. 
 
 1 They that are in Christ, and live according to the 
 Spirit, are free from condemnation. 5, 13 What 
 harm cometh of the flesh, 6, 14 and what good of 
 the Spirit: 17 and what of being God's child, 
 19 whose glorious deliverance all things long for, 
 29 was beforehand decreed from God. 38 What 
 can sever us from his love ? 
 
 THERE is therefore no condemnation 
 to those who are in Christ Jesus, who 
 "walk not after the flesh, but after the 
 Spirit. 
 
 2 For 'the law of 'the spirit of life in 
 Christ Jesus, hath made me free from 'the 
 law of sin and death. 
 
 3 For 'what was impossible for the law, 
 in that it was weak through the flesh, 'God 
 sending his own Son in the likeness of sin- 
 ful flesh, and ||for sin, condemned sin in 
 the flesh : 
 
 4 That the righteousness of the law may 
 be fulfilled ||by us, «\vho walk not after the 
 flesh, but after the Spirit. 
 
 5 For 'those who are after the flesh, mind 
 the things of the flesh : but those who are 
 after the Spirit, 'the things of the Spirit. 
 
 6 For *tto be carnally minded is death; 
 but tto be spiritually minded is life and 
 peace: 
 
 7 Because t'the carnal mind is enmity 
 against God: for it is not subject to the 
 law of God, m nor indeed can it be. 
 
 8 And those who are in the flesh cannot 
 please God. 
 
 9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the 
 Spirit, if indeed "the Spirit of God dwelleth 
 in you. And if any one hath not "the Spirit 
 of Christ, he is none of his. 
 
 10 And if Christ is in you, the body in- 
 deed is dead on account of sin; but the 
 spirit is life on account of righteousness. 
 
 11 But if the Spirit of ''him who raised 
 Jesus from the dead dwelleth in you, «he 
 who raised Christ from the dead will also 
 quicken your mortal bodies ||by his Spirit 
 that dwelleth in you. 
 
 12 "Therefore, brethren, we are debtors 
 not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. 
 
 13 For 'if ye live after the flesh, ye will 
 die : but if through the Spirit ye 'mortify 
 the deeds of the body, ye will live. 
 
 14 For "as many as are led by the Spirit 
 of God, they are sons of God. 
 
 15 For *ye have not received a servile 
 spirit, that ye should again be y in fear; but 
 ye have received the z Spirit of sonship, by 
 which we cry, "Abba, Father ! 
 
 16 'The Spirit itself beareth witness with 
 our spirit, that we are children of God : 
 
 17 And if children, then heirs: 'heirs of 
 God, and joint heirs with Christ; d if so be 
 that we suffer with him, that we may be 
 also glorified with him. 
 
 18 For I reckon, that 'the sufferings of 
 this present time are not worthy to be 
 compared with the glory which is to be 
 revealed to us. 
 
 19 For 'the earnest longing of the crea- 
 tion is awaiting the ^manifestation of the 
 sons of God. 
 
 20 For ''the creation was made subject to 
 decay, (not voluntarily, but on account of 
 him who subjected it,) in hope

 The ground of the Christian's hope. 
 
 21 That the creation itself also will be 
 delivered from the bondage of corruption, 
 into the glorious liberty of the children of 
 God. 
 
 22 For we know that the whole creation 
 'groan, and are in pangs together until 
 now: 
 
 23 And not only they, but ourselves also, 
 who have *the first-fruits of the Spirit, 
 'even we ourselves groan within ourselves, 
 "awaiting our adoption, the "redemption 
 of our body. 
 
 24 For we have been saved by hope. But 
 "hope that is seen, is not hope : for what a 
 man seeth, why doth he yet hope for ? 
 
 25 But if we hope for what we see not, 
 we steadfastly wait for it. 
 
 26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our 
 infirmities: for J we know not what we 
 should pray for as we ought : but *the Spi- 
 rit itself maketh intercession for us with 
 unutterable groanings. 
 
 27 And 'he who searcheth the hearts 
 knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, 
 II because he maketh intercession for the 
 saints, "according to the will of God. 
 
 28 And we know that all things work to- 
 gether for good, to those who love God, to 
 those 'who are called according to his pur- 
 pose. 
 
 29 For whom "he foreknew, *he also pre- 
 destinated "to be conformed to the image 
 of his Son, *that he might be the first-born 
 among many brethren. 
 
 30 And whom he predestinated, these he 
 also "called: and whom he called, these 
 he also 'justified: and whom he justified, 
 these he also 'glorified. 
 
 31 What then shall we say to this ? "If 
 God is for us, who is against us ? 
 
 32 'He who spared not his own Son, but 
 'delivered him up for us all, how will he 
 not with him also freely give us all things? 
 
 33 Who will bring a charge against the 
 elect of God? s It is God who justifieth 
 them. 
 
 34 »\Vho is he that condemneth? It is 
 Christ who died, or rather, who is risen 
 again, 'who is also at the right hand of 
 God, 'who also maketh intercession for us. 
 
 35 Who will separate us from the love of 
 Christ ? will affliction, or distress, or per- 
 secution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, 
 or sword ? 
 
 36 (As it is written, 'For thy sake we are 
 put to death all the day long; we are ac- 
 counted as sheep for the slaughter.) 
 
 37 m Nay, in all these things we are more 
 than conquerers, through him who loved 
 us. 
 
 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death 
 nor life, neither angels nor "principalities 
 nor powers, neither things present nor 
 things to come, 
 
 39 "Neither height nor depth, nor any 
 other created thing, will be able to sepa- 
 rate us from the love of God in Christ 
 Jesus our Lord. 
 
 CHAPTER IX. 
 
 1 Paul is surry for the Jews. 7 All the seed of Abra- 
 ham were not the children of the promise. 18 God 
 hath mercy upon wKom he will. 21 The potter 
 may do with his clay what he will. 25 The calling 
 of the Gentiles and rejection of the Jews were 
 foretold. 32 The cause why so few Jews embraced 
 the righteousness of faith. 
 
God hath mercy on whom he will. 
 
 I "SAY the truth in Christ, I lie not, my 
 conscience also bearing me witness in 
 the Holy Spirit, 
 
 2 *That I have great grief and ||unceasing 
 anguish in my heart. 
 
 3 For 'I could even wish myself to be 
 separated from Christ for my brethren, my 
 kinsmen as to the flesh : 
 
 4 d Who are Israelites; 'to whom belong 
 the sonship, and 'the glory, and *the ||cove- 
 nants, and *the giving of the law, and 'the 
 service of God, and *the promises ; 
 
 5 'Whose are the fathers, and m of whom, 
 as to the flesh, is Christ, "who is over all, 
 God blessed for ever. Amen. 
 
 6 "Not as though the promise of God hath 
 failed. For 'they are not all Israel, who 
 are of Israel : 
 
 7 «Nor, because they are the seed of Abra- 
 ham, are they all children : but, In 'Isaac 
 shall thy seed be called. 
 
 8 That is, It is not the children of the 
 flesh, that are the children of God; but 
 'the children of the promise are reckoned 
 as his seed. 
 
 9 For this is the language of the promise, 
 'At this time I will come, and Sarah shall 
 have a son. 
 
 10 And not only this; but when "Rebec- 
 ca also had conceived by one, our father 
 Isaac, 
 
 11 (For the children being not yet born, 
 nor having done any good or evil, that the 
 purpose of God according to election might 
 stand, not of works, but of *him that call- 
 eth;) 
 
 12 It was said to her, "The ||elder shall 
 serve the Uyounger. 
 
 13 As it is written, *Jacob I have loved, 
 but Esau I have hated. 
 
 14 What shall we say then ? °Is there 
 unrighteousness with God? By no means. 
 
 15 For he saith to Moses, 1 show favour 
 to whom I will show favour, and I compas- 
 sionate whom I will compassionate. 
 
 16 So then, it is not of tthe will or the 
 effort of man, but of the favour of God. 
 
 17 For 'the scripture saith to Pharaoh, 
 d For this very purpose have I raised thee 
 up, that I might shew my power in thee, 
 and that my name might be declared 
 throughout all the earth. 
 
 18 Therefore, to whom he will, he shew- 
 eth favour, and whom he will he hard- 
 eneth. 
 
 19 Thou wilt say then to me, Why doth 
 he still find fault? for 'who resisteth his 
 will ? 
 
 20 Nay, man, who art thou who ||repli- 
 est against God ? 'Shall the thing formed 
 say to him who formed it, Why hast thou 
 made me thus ? 
 
 21 Or hath not the Spotter power over the 
 clay, of the same lump to make *one vessel 
 for honour, and another for dishonour ? 
 
 22 And what if God, wishing to shew his 
 wrath, and to make known his power, en- 
 dured with much long-suffering 'the ves- 
 sels of wrath || ^fitted for destruction ? 
 
 23 And that he might make known 'the 
 riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, 
 which he had "before prepared for glory, 
 
 24 Had mercy on us, whom he hath called, 
 "not of the Jews only, but also of the Gen- 
 tiles ? 
 
 25 As also he saith in Hosea, °I will call

 PauPs zeal for Israel's salvation. 
 
 those My people, who were not my people ; 
 and her Beloved, who was not beloved. 
 
 26 p And it shall be, that in the place 
 where it was said to them, Ye are not my 
 people; there they shall be called, Sons of 
 the living God. 
 
 %7 And Isaiah crieth concerning Israel, 
 'Though the number of the children of 
 Israel be as the sand of the sea, T only a 
 remnant will be saved: 
 
 28 For he fulfilleth and determineth his 
 work in righteousness : 'because the work 
 which he hath determined, will the Lord 
 perform upon the Hearth. 
 
 29 And as Isaiah hath said before, 'Unless 
 the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, "we 
 had become as Sodom, and been made like 
 Gomorrah. 
 
 30 What shall we say then ? *That the 
 Gentiles who sought not after righteous- 
 ness, attained to righteousness, "but a right- 
 eousness which is of faith : 
 
 31 But Israel, * striving after a law of 
 righteousness, "did not attain to a law of 
 righteousness. 
 
 32 Wherefore ? Because they sought it 
 not by faith, but by works of law. For 
 'they stumbled at the stumbling-stone ; 
 
 33 As it is written, 'Behold, I lay in Zion 
 a stumbling-stone, and rock of offence : 
 and d whoever trusteth to it will not be 
 confounded. 
 
 CHAPTER X. 
 
 5 The scripture sheweth the difference betwixt the 
 righteousness of the law, and this of faith, 11 and 
 that all, both Jew and Gentile, that believe, shall 
 not be confounded, 18 and that the Gentiles shall 
 receive the word and believe. 19 Israel was not 
 ignorant of these things. 
 
 "DRETHREN, the desire of my heart, 
 -L> and my prayer to God, is for the sal- 
 vation of Israel. 
 
 2 For I bear them witness "that they have 
 a zeal for God, but not according to know- 
 ledge. 
 
 3 For being ignorant of 'the righteous- 
 ness of God, and seeking to establish their 
 own 'righteousness, they have not submit- 
 ted themselves to the righteousness of God. 
 
 4 For ''Christ is the Ifend of the law for 
 righteousness to everyone who believeth. 
 
 5 For Moses describeth the righteousness 
 which is by the law, 'The man who doeth 
 these things will live by them. 
 
 6 But the righteousness which is of faith 
 saith thus, 'Say not in thine heart, Who 
 shall ascend into heaven ? (that is, to bring 
 down Christ:) 
 
 7 Or, Who shall descend into the abyss? 
 (that is, to bring up Christ from the dead.) 
 
 8 But what saith it ? *The word is near 
 thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart : that 
 is, the word of faith, which we preach : 
 
 9 That ''if thou shalt acknowledge with 
 thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt be- 
 lieve in thine heart that God hath raised 
 him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 
 
 10 For with the heart, we believe to 
 righteousness; and with the mouth, we 
 make acknowledgment to salvation. 
 
 11 For the scripture saith, Whoever be- 
 lieveth on him shall not be confounded. 
 
 12 For *there is no difference between 
 Jew and Greek : for 'the same Lord over 
 all, m is rich to all who call upon him. 
 
 13 "For whoever shall call "on the name 
 of the Lord shall be saved. 
 
 117 
 
Israel is not forsaken by God. 
 
 14 How then shall they call on him on 
 whom they have not believed ? and how 
 shall they believe on him of whom they 
 have not heard ? and how shall they hear 
 ^without a preacher ? 
 
 15 And how shall they preach, unless they 
 are sent forth? as it is written, 'How 
 beautiful are the feet of those who bring the 
 glad tidings of peace, who bring glad tid- 
 ings of good ! 
 
 * 16 But they have not all hearkened to the 
 glad tidings. For Isaiah saith, 'Lord, who 
 hath believed ||what he heareth from us? 
 
 17 So then, faith cometh from hearing, 
 and hearing by the word of God. 
 
 18 But I say, Have they not heard ? Yes, 
 verily, 'their sound went into all the earth, 
 "and their words to the extremities of the 
 world. 
 
 19 But I say, Did not Israel understand 
 this ? First, Moses saith, X I will move you 
 to jealousy by what is not a people, by a 
 s foolish nation I will excite your anger. 
 
 20 But Isaiah is very bold, and saith, Z I 
 was found by those who sought me not ; I 
 became manifest to those wno asked not 
 after me. 
 
 21 But[|of Israel he saith, °AU day long I 
 have stretched forth my hands to a dis- 
 obedient and gainsaying people. 
 
 CHAPTER XI. 
 1 God hath not cast off all Israel. 7 Some were 
 elected, though the rest were hardened. 16 There 
 is hope of their conversion. 18 The Gentiles may 
 not exult over them: 26 for there is a promise of 
 their salvation. 33 God's judgments are un- 
 searchable. 
 I SAY then, "Hath God cast away his 
 people ? By no means. For 1 also am 
 an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of 
 the tribe of Benjamin. 
 
 2 God hath not cast away his people 
 whom c he || foreknew. Or know ye not 
 what the scripture saith in the case of 
 Elijah? how he intercedeth with God 
 against Israel, saying, 
 
 3 d Lord, they have killed thy prophets, 
 and overthrown thine altars; and I am 
 left alone, and they seek my life. 
 
 4 But what saith the answer of God to 
 him ? e I have reserved to myself seven 
 thousand men, who have not bowed the 
 knee to Baal. 
 
 5 •''Thus, therefore, there is also at the 
 present time a remnant according to the 
 election of grace. 
 
 6 And *if t>y grace, it is no longer of 
 works : since then grace is no longer grace. 
 But if of works, it is no longer grace : 
 since then work is no longer work. 
 
 7 AVhat then? '■what Israel seeketh it 
 hath not obtained ; but the elect have ob- 
 tained it, and the rest were ||blinded, 
 
 8 (So it is written, 'God hath given them 
 the spirit of Hslumber, *eyes that they 
 should not see, ami ears that they should 
 not hear ;) until this day. 
 
 9 And David saith, 'Let their table be- 
 come a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling- 
 block, and a reward to them : 
 
 10 m Let their eyes be darkened, that they 
 may not see, and bow down their back 
 perpetually. 
 
 11 I say then, Have they stumbled in or- 
 der to fall ? By no means : but "by their 
 fall salvation is come to the Gentiles, to 
 move them to jealousy.

 The Gentiles warned against boasting. 
 
 12 And if their fall is the riches of the 
 world, and their ||diminution the riches of 
 the Gentiles ; how much more their ful- 
 ness ! 
 
 13 For I speak to you Gentiles; inas- 
 much as "I am the apostle of the Gentiles, 
 I magnify mine office : 
 
 14 If by any means I may move to jea- 
 lousy my own kindred, and 'may save 
 some of them. 
 
 15 For if their rejection is the reconcil- 
 ing of the world, what will their reception 
 be, but life from the dead ? 
 
 16 And if 'the first fruit is holy, so is 
 also the lump : and if the root is holy, so 
 are the branches. 
 
 17 And if r some of the branches were 
 broken off, 'and thou, being a wild olive, 
 wast engrafted among them, and made 
 partaker of the root and fatness of the 
 olive ; 
 
 18 'Boast not against the branches. But 
 if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, 
 but the root thee. 
 
 19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were 
 broken off, that I might be engrafted. 
 
 20 True ; for their want of faith they were 
 broken off, and by faith thou standest. "Be 
 not high-minded, but *fear: 
 
 21 For if God spared not the natural 
 branches, take heed lest he also spare not 
 thee. 
 
 22 Behold therefore the goodness and se- 
 verity of God : towards those who fell, se- 
 verity ; but towards thee, goodness, "if thou 
 continue in his goodness : otherwise thou 
 also wilt be cut off. 
 
 23 And they also, °if they continue not 
 in their unbelief, will be grafted in : for 
 God is able again to graft them in. 
 
 24 For if thou wert cut out of thy natural 
 wild olive, and wert engrafted contrary to 
 
 ire into a good olive; how much more 
 will these, the natural branches, be grafted 
 into their own olive ! 
 
 25 For I would not, brethren, have you 
 ignorant of this secret, (lest ye be 'wise in 
 your own estimation,) that c [|blindness in 
 part hath happened to Israel, tmtil the 
 fulness of the Gentiles come in ; 
 
 26 And so all Israel will be saved : as it 
 is written, 'The Deliverer will come out 
 of Zion, and will turn away ungodliness 
 from Jacob : 
 
 27 / For this is my covenant with them, 
 when I shall take away their sins. 
 
 28 As to the gospel indeed, they are ene- 
 mies for your sake : but as to the election, 
 they are ^beloved for the sake of their 
 fathers. 
 
 29 For the favours and calling of God are 
 ^unchangeable. 
 
 30 For as ye 'were formerly disobedient 
 to God, but have now obtained mercy 
 through their disobedience ; 
 
 31 Thus also they are now disobedient, 
 that through the mercy shown to you, they 
 also may obtain mercy. 
 
 32 For *God hath shut all up together in 
 disobedience, that he might have mercy on 
 all. 
 
 33 O the depth of the riches both of the 
 wisdom and knowledge of God ! 'how un- 
 searchable are his judgments, and incom- 
 prehensible m his ways ! 
 
 34 "For who hath known the mind of the 
 
Exhortation to holiness.

 CHAPTER XII. 
 
 1 God's mercies must move us to please God. 3 No 
 man must think too well of himself, 6 but attend 
 every one ore that calling wherein he is placed. 
 9 Love, and many other duties, are required of us. 
 19 Revenge is specially forbidden. 
 
 I "BESEECH you therefore, brethren, by 
 the mercies of God, Ho 'present your 
 bodies d a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable 
 to God, which is your flreasonable service. 
 
 2 And 'be not conformed to this world : 
 but y be transformed by the renewing of 
 your mind, that ye may 'prove what is the 
 good, and acceptable, and perfect will of 
 God. 
 
 3 For I say, ^through the grace given to 
 me, to every man that is among you, 'not 
 to think of himself more highly than he 
 ought to think; but to think tsoberly, ac- 
 cording as God hath imparted *to each the 
 measure of faith. 
 
 4 For 'as we have many members in one 
 body, and all the members have not the 
 same office : 
 
 5 So m we, being many, are one body in 
 Christ, and severally members of one an- 
 other. * 
 
 6 And "having gifts, differing "according 
 to the grace that is given to us, whether 
 ''prophecy, let us prophesy according to the 
 proportion of faith ; 
 
 7 Or ministry, let us be diligent in our 
 ministering: or «he that teacheth, in teach- 
 ing : 
 
 8 Or r he that exhorteth, in exhortation : 
 
 'he that imparteth, let him do it jjwith sim- 
 plicity: 'he that ruleth, with diligence; he 
 that sheweth mercy, ^with cheerfulness. 
 
 9 *Let love be without dissimulation. 
 "Abhor that which is evil ; cleave to that 
 
 " which is good. 
 
 10 *Be affectionate towards each other 
 Iwith brotherly love; "in mutual respect 
 surpassing one another ; 
 
 11 Not slothful in business ; fervent in 
 spirit ; serving the Lord ; 
 
 12 'Rejoicing in hope ; "patient in afflic- 
 tion ; ''persevering in prayer ; 
 
 13 'Communicating to the wants of the 
 saints ; 'given to hospitality. 
 
 14 fBless those who persecute you ; bless, 
 and curse not. 
 
 15 *Rejoice with those who rejoice, and 
 weep with those who weep. 
 
 16 'Be of the same mind among your- 
 selves. *Aspire not to high things, but 
 IJcondescend to the humble. 'Be not wise 
 in your own esteem. 
 
 17 m Render to none evil for evil. "Practise 
 what is honourable in the sight of all men. 
 
 18 If possible, as far as lieth in you, "be 
 at peace with all men. 
 
 19 ^ Avenge not yourselves, beloved, but 
 give place to the wrath of God : for it is 
 written, 'Vengeance is mine ; I will re 
 pay, saith the Lord.

 if he thirst, give him drink : for in so do-

 21 Be not overcome by evil, but overcome 
 evil with good. 
 
 CHAPTER XIII. 
 
 1 Subjection, and many other duties, we owe to the 
 magistrates. 8 Love is the fulfilling qf the law. 
 11 Gluttony and drunkenness, and the works of 
 darkness, are out of season in the time of the gospel. 
 
 LET every soul "be subject to the higher 
 powers. For 'there is no power but 
 from God: the existing powers are ap- 
 pointed by God. 
 
 2 Whoever therefore arrayeth himself 
 against 'the power, resisteth the appoint- 
 ment of God : and those who resist will 
 receive to themselves punishment. 
 
 3 For rulers are not a terror to good 
 works, but to the evil. And wishest thou 
 not to fear the power ? d do what is good, 
 and thou shalt have praise of it: 
 
 4 For he is a servant of God for thy good. 
 But if thou doest evil, fear; for he beareth 
 not the sword in vain : for he is a servant 
 of God, an avenger to inflict punishment 
 on him who doeth evil. 
 
 5 Wherefore 'it is necessary to be subject, 
 not only on account of punishment, 'but 
 also on account of conscience. 
 
 6 For, for this reason also ye pay tribute: 
 for they are God's ministers, attending to 
 this very thing. 
 
 7 'Render therefore to all their dues: 
 tribute to whom tribute is due ; custom to 
 whom custom ; fear to whom fear ; honour 
 to whom honour. 
 
 8 Owe no one any thing but mutual love: 
 for *he who loveth another hath fulfilled 
 the law. 
 
 9 For this, 'Thou shalt not commit adul- 
 tery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not 
 steal, Thou shalt not bear false testimony, 
 Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any 
 other commandment, it is briefly compre- 
 hended in these words, namely, *Thou 
 shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 
 
 10 Love worketh no ill to our neighbour: 
 therefore 'love is the fulfilling of the law. 
 
 11 And this do, knowing the time, that 
 now it is high time m to awake from sleep: 
 for now is our salvation nearer than when 
 we believed . 
 
 12 The night is far spent, the day is at 
 hand : "let us therefore lay aside the works 
 of darkness, and "put on the armour of 
 light. 
 
 13 *Let us walk ||becomingly, as in the 
 day: ? not in revelling and drunkenness, 
 r not in lust and licentiousness, 'not in strife 
 and envying. 
 
 14 But 'put on the Lord Jesus Christ, 
 and "have no care for the flesh, to gratify 
 its desires. 
 
 CHAPTER XIV. 
 
 3 Men may not contemn nor condemn one the other 
 for things indifferent: 13 but take heed that they 
 give no offence in them : 15 for that the apostle 
 proveth unlawful by many reasons. 
 
 HIM who "is weak in his faith receive, 
 but ||not to doubtful disputations. 
 
 2 For one believeth that he 'may eat all 
 things ; but he who is weak, eateth only 
 herbs. 
 
 3 Let not him that eateth, despise him 
 that eateth not; and 'let not him that eateth 
 not, judge him that eatech: for God hath 
 
 (received him. 
 
 119 
 
Christ's right to our best services. 
 
 4 rf Who art thou that judgest another man's 
 servant? to his own master he standeth or 
 falleth : but he will stand: for God is able 
 to make him stand. 
 
 5 'One esteemeth one day above another: 
 another esteemeth every day alike. Let 
 each one be fully assured in his own mind. 
 
 6 He that-Hlregardeth the day, regardeth 
 it to the Lord : and he that regardeth not 
 the day, to the Lord he regardeth it not. 
 He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for g he 
 giveth God thanks ; and he that eateth not, 
 to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God 
 thanks. 
 
 7 For 'none of us liveth to himself, and 
 none dieth to himself. 
 
 8 For if we live, we live to the Lord ; and 
 if we die, we die to the Lord : whether we 
 live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's. 
 
 9 For, 'for this Christ both died, and rose, 
 and revived, that he might be *Lord both 
 of the dead and living. 
 
 10 But thou, why judgest thou thy bro- 
 ther ? or again thou, why dost thou despise 
 thy brother ? for 'we shall all stand before 
 the judgment-seat of Christ. 
 
 11 For it is written, m As I live, saith the 
 Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and 
 every tongue shall make acknowledgment 
 to God. 
 
 12 So then "each of us will give account 
 of himself to God. 
 
 13 Let us then judge one another no 
 longer: but determine this rather, "not to 
 put a stumbling-block, or an occasion of 
 falling in a brother's way. 
 
 14 I know, and am persuaded in the Lord 
 Jesus, p that nothing is tunclean of itself: 
 but 'to him who considereth any thing to 
 be tunclean, to him it is unclean. 
 
 15 But if through food thy brother is 
 grieved, thou no longer walkest according 
 to love. 'Destroy not with thy food him 
 for whom Christ died. 
 
 16 'Let not then your good be evil spoken 
 of: 
 
 17 'For the kingdom of God is not food 
 and drink, but righteousness, and peace, 
 and joy in the Holy Spirit. 
 
 18 For he who in these things serveth 
 Christ, "is acceptable to God, and approv- 
 ed by men. 
 
 19 *Let us then strive for that which 
 tendeth to peace, and "mutual edification. 
 
 20 *Fqr food destroy not the work of God. 
 "All things indeed are pure; 'but they are 
 evil to the man who is stumbled by what 
 he eateth. 
 
 21 It is good neither to eat 'flesh, nor to 
 drink wine, nor any thing by which thy 
 brother stumbleth, or is led astray, or is 
 made weak. 
 
 22 Hast thou faith? have it to thyself 
 before God. ''Happy he who condemn- 
 eth not himself in that which he ap- 
 proveth ! 
 
 23 And he who ||doubteth is condemned 
 if he eat, because it is not of faith: for 
 •whatever is not of faith is sin. 
 
 CHAPTER XV. 
 
 1 The strong must bear with the weak. 2 We may 
 not please ourselves, 3 for Christ did not so, 7 but 
 receive one another, as Christ did us all, 8 both 
 Jews 9 and Gentiles. 15 Paul excuseth his writing, 
 28 and promiseth to see them, 30 and requesteth 
 their prayers.

 The extensiveness of Paul's preaching. 
 
 A ND "we who are strong ought to bear 
 - fX the 'infirmities of the weak, and not 
 please ourselves. 
 
 2 'Let each one of us please his neigh- 
 bour for his good d to edification. 
 
 3 'For Christ pleased not himself; but, 
 as it is written, -The reproaches of those 
 who reproached thee fell on me. 
 
 4 For s whatever was written formerly, 
 was written for our instruction, that we 
 by our patience, and the consolation of the 
 scriptures, may have hope. 
 
 5 "And may the God of patience and con- 
 solation grant you to be like-minded to- 
 wards each other, ||in Christ Jesus: 
 
 6 That ye may 'with one mind and one 
 mouth glorify the God and Father of our 
 Lord Jesus Christ. 
 
 7 Wherefore * receive one another, 'as 
 Christ also received you, to the glory of 
 God. 
 
 8 And I say, that ro Jesus Christ hath be- 
 come a minister of the circumcision for the 
 truth of God, "to confirm the promises made 
 to the fathers : 
 
 9 And "that the Gentiles have glorified 
 God for his mercy; as it is written, ''For 
 this reason I will acknowledge thee among 
 the Gentiles, and sing to thy name. 
 
 10 And again he saith, 'Rejoice, ye Gen- 
 tiles, with his people. 
 
 11 And again, 'Praise the Lord, all ye 
 Gentiles; and extol him, all ye people. 
 
 12 And again Isaiah saith, 'There will be 
 the root of Jesse, and he who will rise to 
 rule the Gentiles ; in him will the Gentiles 
 hope. 
 
 13 And may the God of hope fill you with 
 all 'joy and peace in believing, that ye may 
 abound in hope, by the power of the Holy 
 Spirit. 
 
 14 And "I myself also am persuaded of 
 you, my brethren, that ye also are full of 
 kindness, "filled with all knowledge, able 
 also to admonish one another. 
 
 15 But I have written to you the more 
 boldly, brethren, in part, as putting you in 
 mind, x on account of the grace that is given 
 to me of God, 
 
 16 That "I should be a servant of Jesus 
 Christ among the Gentiles, ministering the 
 gospel of God, that the || offering of the 
 Gentiles may be acceptable, being sancti- 
 fied by the Holy Spirit. 
 
 17 I have then ground of glorying 
 through Jesus Christ, "in things pertaining 
 to God. 
 
 18 For I will not venture to speak of any 
 of those things 'which Christ hath not 
 wrought by me, 'to make the Gentiles 
 obedient, by word and deed, 
 
 19 "Through mighty signs and wonders, 
 by the power of the Spirit of God ; so that 
 from Jerusalem, and all around as far as 
 Illyricum, I have fully preached the gos- 
 pel of Christ. 
 
 20 And thus have I striven to preach 
 the gospel, namely, not where Christ was 
 named, 'lest I should build on another 
 man's foundation : 
 
 21 But as it is wj4tten, 'Those to whom 
 he was not spoken of, shall see: and those 
 who have not heard shall understand. 
 
 22 For which cause also g I have been 
 often hindered from coming to you. 
 
 23 But now having no longer a place in 
 
Paul requesteth their prayers. 
 
 these regions, and Graving a great desire 
 these many years to come to you ; 
 
 24 Whenever I go into Spain, I will come 
 to you : for I hope to see you in my jour- 
 ney, 'and to be sent on thither by you, 
 when I am first somewhat satisfied twith 
 your company. 
 
 25 But now *I go to Jerusalem to supply 
 the wants of the saints. 
 
 26 For 'Macedonia and Achaia have 
 thought proper to make some contribution 
 for the poor saints at Jerusalem. 
 
 27 They have thought proper, / say; and 
 they are their debtors. For ^f the Gen- 
 tiles have shared in their spiritual things, 
 "their duty is also to minister to them in 
 carnal things. 
 
 28 When therefore I have performed this, 
 and have delivered to them "this fruit, I 
 will come by you into Spain. 
 
 29 p And I am sure that when I come to 
 you, I shall come in the fulness of the 
 blessing of the gospel of Christ. 
 
 30 And I beseech you, brethren, by the 
 Lord Jesus Christ, and 9 by the love of the 
 Spirit, 'that ye strive together with me in 
 your prayers to God for me ; 
 
 31 'That I may be delivered from the un- 
 believing in Judea; and that 'my service 
 for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the 
 saints ; 
 
 32 "That I may come to you with joy *by 
 the will of God, and may with you be ''re- 
 freshed. 
 
 33 And r the God of peace be with you 
 all. Amen.

 3 Paul willeth the brethren to greet many, 17 and

 tations endeth with praise and thanks to God. 
 
 I COMMEND to you Phebe our sister, 
 who is a servant of the church at °Cen- 
 chrea : 
 
 2 'That ye receive her in the Lord, as 
 becometh saints, and that ye assist her in 
 whatever business she hath need of you :

 many, and of myself also.

 necks: to whom not only I give thanks, 
 but also all the churches of the Gentiles,)

 first-fruits of Achaia to Christ. 
 
 6 Salute Mary, who laboured much for us. 
 
 7 Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kins-

 17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark 
 those 'who cause divisions and offences, 
 contrary to the doctrine which ye have 
 learned; and "avoid them. 
 
 18 For such persons serve not our Lord 
 Jesus Christ, but 'their own belly; and m by 
 flattery and fair words deceive the hearts 
 of the simple. 
 
 19 For "your obedience is known to all. 
 I rejoice therefore over you: but I would 
 have you "wise to what is good, and ||sim- 
 ple as to evil. 
 
 20 And 'the God of peace 'will speedily

 you 'through my gospel, and the preach- 
 ing of Jesus Christ, d according to the dis- 
 closure of the secret, 'which was kept silent 
 in ancient times, 
 
 26 But 'now is made manifest, and by the 
 prophetic writings, according to the com- 
 mand of the eternal God, made known to 
 all nations for f their obedience to the faith : 
 
 27 To the only wise "God, through Jesus 
 Christ, to whom be glory for ever. Amen.

 I. CORINTHIANS. 
 
 His manner of preaching 
 
 1 THE FIRST EPISTLE OF PAUL, THE APOSTLE, TO THE 
 
 CORINTHIANS. 
 
 CHAPTER I. 
 
 After his salutation and thanksgiving, 10 he exhorteth 
 them to unity, and 12 reproveth their dissensions. 
 18 God destroyeth the wisdom of the wise, 21 by 
 the foolishness of preaching, and 26 calleth not the 
 wise, mighty, and noble, but 27, 28 the foolish, 
 weak, and men of no account. 
 
 PAUL, "called to be an apostle of Jesus 
 Christ 'through the will of God, and 
 c Sosthenes our brother, 
 
 2 To the church of God which is at Co- 
 rinth, d to the "sanctified in Christ Jesus, 
 •^called to be saints, with all who in every- 
 place e call upon the name of Jesus Christ 
 A our Lord, 'Doth theirs and ours : 
 
 3 *Grace be to you, and peace from God 
 our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. 
 
 4 'I thank my God always on your behalf, 
 for the grace of God which is given you in 
 Jesus Christ; 
 
 5 That ye are enriched by him with every 
 thing, m with all speech, and with all know- 
 ledge ; 
 
 6 (Even as "the testimony of Christ was 
 established among you :) 
 
 7 So that ye come behind in no gift; 
 "waiting for the tappearance of our Lord 
 Jesus Christ: 
 
 8 'Who will also confirm you to the end, 
 ! that ye may be blameless in the day of 
 our Lord Jesus Christ. 
 
 9 'God is faithful, by whom ye were call- 
 ed into 'the fellowship of his Son Jesus 
 Christ our Lord. 
 
 10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the 
 name of our Lord Jesus Christ, 'that ye 
 all speak the same thing, and that there be 
 no tdivisions among you ; but that ye be 
 perfectly joined together in the same mind, 
 and in the same judgment. 
 
 11 For it hath been declared to me con- 
 cerning you, my brethren, by the kindred 
 of Chloe, that there are contentions among 
 you. 
 
 12 And I mean this, "that each of you 
 saith, I am of Paul; and I of *Apollos; 
 and I of ^Cephas ; and I of Christ. 
 
 13 *Is Christ divided ? was Paul crucified 
 for you ? or were ye immersed in the name 
 of Paul ? 
 
 14 I thank God that I immersed none of 
 you, but "Crispus and 'Gaius ; 
 
 15 Lest any should say that I had im- 
 mersed in mine own name. 
 
 16 And I immersed also the household 
 of 'Stephanas; further, I know not whe- 
 ther I immersed any other. 
 
 17 For Christ sent me not to immerse, 
 but to preach the gospel : d not with wisdom 
 of speech, lest the cross of Christ should 
 be made of no effect. 
 
 18 For the doctrine of the cross is to 
 'those who perish, /foolishness ; but to us 
 s who are saved, it is the "power of God. 
 
 19 For it is written, 'T will destroy the 
 wisdom of the wise, and will bring to no- 
 thing the understanding of the intelligent. 
 
 20 'Where is the wise? where is the 
 scribe ? where is the disputer of this world ? 
 'hath not God made foolish the wisdom of 
 this world ?

 21 "For since in the wisdom of God the 
 world by its wisdom knew not God, it 
 pleased God by the foolishness of the 
 preaching of Christ to save those who be- 
 lieve. 
 
 22 For the "Jews require a sign, and the 
 Greeks seek for wisdom : 
 
 23 But we preach Christ crucified, "to 
 the Jews indeed a stumbling-block, and 
 to the Greeks 'foolishness ; 
 
 24 But to those who are called, both Jews 
 and Greeks, Christ «the power of God, and 
 the wisdom of God. 
 
 25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser 
 than men; and the weakness of God is 
 stronger than men. 
 
 26 For ye see your calling, brethren, that 
 'not many wise men as to the flesh, not 
 many mighty, not many noble are called: 
 
 27 'But God hath chosen the foolish 
 things of the world to confound the wise ; 
 and God hath chosen the weak things of 
 the world to confound the things which 
 are mighty ; 
 
 28 And base things of the world, and 
 things which are despised, hath God chosen, 
 yea, and "things which are not, 'to bring to 
 nothing things that are : 
 
 29 s That no flesh should glory in his 
 presence. 
 
 30 But by him ye are in Christ Jesus, 
 who is become to us z wisdom from God, 
 and "righteousness, and 'sanctification, and 
 'redemption: 
 
 31 That, as it is written, d He that glo- 
 rieth, let him glory in the Lord. 
 
 CHAPTER II. 
 
 He declareth that his preaching, 1 though it bring 
 not excellency of speech, or of 4 human wisdom : 
 yet consist eth in the 4, 5 power of God: and so 
 far excelleth 6 the wisdom of this world, and 9 hu- 
 man sense, as that 14 the natural man cannot un- 
 derstand it. 
 AND I, brethren, when I came to you, 
 "came not with superior speech or 
 
 wisdom, declaring to you 'the testimony 
 
 of God. 
 
 2 For I determined not to know any thing 
 among you, 'but Jesus Christ, and him 
 crucified. 
 
 3 And d I was with you 'in weakness, and 
 in fear, and in much trembling. 
 
 4 And my speech and my preaching Avere 
 not with persuasive words of human wis- 
 dom, 4)ut with the manifestation of the 
 Spirit, and of power : 
 
 5 That your faith might not t stand in 
 the wisdom of men, but "in the power of 
 God. 
 
 6 But we speak wisdom among 'the per- 
 fect : yet not *the wisdom of this world, 
 nor of the rulers of this world, 'who come 
 to nought: 
 
 7 But we speak the secret wisdom of God, 
 the hidden wisdom ""which God from eter- 
 nity ordained jpv our glory; 
 
 8 "Which none of the rulers of this world 
 hath known: (for "had they known it, they 
 would not have crucified the Lord of 
 
 glory;) . _ , , 
 
 9 But as it is written, 'Eye hath not seen, 
 
8 
 
 Jlguinst strife and divisions. 
 
 nor ear heard, nor hath entered the heart 
 of man, what God hath prepared for those 
 who love him. 
 
 10 But to us «God hath revealed it b 
 his Spirit; for the Spirit searcheth a! 
 things, even the deep things of God. 
 
 11 For what man knoweth the things 
 of a man, r except the spirit of man which 
 is in him? 'thus also the things of God 
 knoweth none but the Spirit of God. 
 
 12 And we have received, not the spirit 
 of the world, but 'the Spirit which is of 
 God, that we may know the things that are 
 freely given to us by God. 
 
 13 "Which things also we speak, not in 
 words taught by human wisdom, but in 
 those taught by the Holy Spirit ; ||compar- 
 ing spiritual things with spiritual. 
 
 14 *But the natural man receiveth not the 
 things of the Spirit of God : s for they are 
 foolishness to him : z and he cannot know 
 them,becausethey are spiritually discerned. 
 
 15 "But the spiritual man discerneth in- 
 deed all things, yet is himself discerned 
 by none. 
 
 16 'For who hath known the mind of the 
 Lord, that he tmay instruct him ? c But we 
 have the mind of Christ. 
 
 CHAPTER III. 
 
 2 Milk is fit for children. 3 Strife and division, 
 arguments of a fleshly mind. 7 He that planteth, 
 and he that watereth, are nothing. 9 The ministers 
 are God's fellow-workmen. 11 Christ the only 
 foundation.' 16 Men the temples of God, which 17 
 must be kept holy. 19 The wisdom of this world 
 is foolishness with God. 
 
 AND I, brethren, could not speak to 
 you as "spiritual, but as 'carnal, as 
 "babes in Christ. 
 
 2 I fed you with d milk, and not with 
 meat : 'for as yet ye were not able to bear 
 it, nor even now are ye able. 
 
 3 For ye are still carnal: for 'since there 
 are among you envy, and strife, and ||divi- 
 sions, are ye not carnal, and walk tas men? 
 
 4 For while one saith, e I am of Paul; 
 and another, I am of Apollos ; are ye not 
 carnal ? 
 
 5 Who then is Paul, and who Apollos, 
 but * ministers by whom ye believed, 'and 
 that as the Lord gave to each ? 
 
 6 *I planted, 'Apollos watered : m but God 
 caused the growth. 
 
 7 So that, "neither is he who planteth any 
 thing, nor he who watereth : but God who 
 causeth the growth. 
 
 8 But he that planteth and he that water- 
 eth are one: "and each will receive his 
 own reward, according to his own labour. 
 
 9 For p we are God's fellow -labourers : 
 ye are God's || husbandry, ye are 'God's 
 building. 
 
 10 'According to the grace of God which 
 was given to me, I, as a wise_ master- 
 Duilder, have laid 'the foundation ; and 
 another buildeth upon it. But 'let each 
 one take heed how he buildeth upon it. 
 
 11 For none can lay another foundation 
 than "that which is already laid, 'which is 
 Jesus Christ. 
 
 12 But if any one buildeth upon this 
 foundation, gold, silver, precious stones, 
 wood, hay, stubble; 
 
 13 "Every man's work will become mani- 
 fest : for the day of judgment 'will show 
 "it, twhich reveals itself in fire ; and the

 fire will prove of what sort is each one's 
 work. 
 
 14 If any one's work which he hath built 
 thereon remain, *he shall receive a reward. 
 
 15 If any one's work shall be burned up, 
 he shall suffer loss : but he himself will be 
 saved ; 'yet so as by fire. 
 
 16 d Know ye not that ye are the temple 
 of God, and that the Spirit of God dwell- 
 eth in you ? 
 
 17 If any one destroy the temple of God, 
 God will destroy him : for the temple of 
 God is holy, which temple ye are. 
 
 18 'Let no one deceive himself. If any 
 one among you is reputed to be wise in 
 this world, let him become a fool, that he 
 may be wise. 
 
 19 For 'the wisdom of this world is fool- 
 ishness with God. For it is written, fHe 
 taketh the wise in their own craftiness. 
 
 20 And again, The Lord knoweth the 
 thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. 
 
 21 Therefore 'let no one glory in men : 
 for *all things are yours ; 
 
 22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, 
 or the world, or life, or death, or things 
 present, or things to come ; all are yours ; 
 
 23 And 'ye are Christ's; and Christ is 
 God's. 
 
 CHAPTER IV. 
 
 1 In what account the ministers ought to be had. 7 We 
 have nothing which we have not received. 9 The 
 apostles spectacles to the world, angels, and men, 
 13 the filth and off-scouring of the world: 15 yet 
 our fathers in Christ, 16 whom we ought to follow. 
 
 LET a man thus regard us, as "servants 
 of Christ, *and stewards of the myste- 
 ries of God. 
 
 2 Moreover, it is required in stewards 
 that a man be found faithful. 
 
 3 But with me it is a very small thing 
 that I should be judged by you, or by hu- 
 man tjudgment : nay, I do not even judge 
 myself; 
 
 4 For though I am conscious with myself 
 of no evil, c yet I am not therefore justified : 
 but he who judgeth me is the Lord. 
 
 5 Therefore judge nothing before the 
 time, until the Lord come, 'who will both 
 bring to light the hidden things of dark- 
 ness, and make manifest the counsels of 
 the hearts : and 'then shall each one have 
 his praise from God. 
 
 6 And these things, brethren, ff I have in 
 a figure transferred to myself, and to 
 Apollos, for your sakes: "that ye may 
 learn in us _ not to prize your teachers 
 above what is written, that none of you 
 on account of one teacher may 'be puffed 
 up against another. 
 
 7 For who tmaketh thee to differ from 
 another ? and *what hast thou which thou 
 didst not receive? and if thou didst receive 
 it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not 
 received it ? 
 
 8 Ye are already satiated, 'ye are already 
 rich, without us ye reign as kings: and I 
 would ye did reign, that we also might 
 reign with you ! 
 
 9 For I think that God hath appointed us 
 the apostles to the humblest place, m as con- 
 demned to death: for "we are become a 
 tspectacle to the world, and to angels, and 
 to men. 
 
 10 "We are 'fools for Christ's sake, but 
 ye are wise in Christ ; *we are weak, but 
 
 123 
 
Jl scandalous incest reproved. 
 
 I. CORINTHIANS. 
 
 Against going to law. 
 
 ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we 
 are despised. 
 
 11 f Up to this present hour we hunger, 
 and thirst, and 'are naked, and 'are buf- 
 feted, and have no certain dwelling- 
 place ; 
 
 12 "And labour, working with our own 
 hands. 'Being reviled, we bless; being 
 persecuted, we endure ; 
 
 13 Being railed at, we entreat : ! we are 
 become as the filth of the world, and the 
 oft-scouring of all things to this day. 
 
 14 I write not thus to shame you, but *as 
 my beloved sons I admonish you. 
 
 15 For though ye have ten thousand in- 
 structors in Christ, yet ye have not many 
 fathers : for "in Christ Jesus I have begot- 
 ten you through the gospel. 
 
 16 Wherefore, I beseech you, * become 
 imitators of me. 
 
 17 For this reason I have sent to you 
 'Timothy, ''who is my beloved and faithful 
 child in the Lord, who will 'remind you of 
 my ways in Christ, as I 'teach every where 
 g in every church. 
 
 18 A Now some are puffed up, as though I 
 were not coming to you. 
 
 19 ' But I will come to you shortly, *if the 
 Lord will, and will know, not the speech 
 of those who are puffed up, but the power. 
 
 20 For 'the kingdom of God is not in 
 word, but in power. 
 
 21 What will ye? "shall I come to you 
 with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of 
 meekness ? 
 
 CHAPTER V. 
 
 1 The incestuous person 6 is cause rather of shame to 
 them, than of rejoicing. 7 The old leaven is to be 
 purged out. 10 Heinous offenders are to be shamed 
 and avoided. 
 
 IT is generally reported that there is for- 
 nication among you, and such fornica- 
 tion as is not even "named among the 
 Gentiles, 'that one should have his 'fa- 
 ther's wife. 
 
 2 d And ye are puffed up, and ye have not 
 rather 'mourned, that he who hath done 
 this deed might be taken away from among 
 you. 
 
 3 'For I indeed, as absent in body, but 
 present in spirit, have decided already as 
 though I were present, concerning him 
 who hath so done this deed, 
 
 4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, 
 ye being gathered together, and my spirit, 
 *with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, 
 
 5 *To deliver such a one to 'Satan for the 
 destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may 
 be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. 
 
 6 *Your glorying is not good. Know ye 
 not, that 'a little leaven leaveneth the 
 whole lump? 
 
 7 Cleanse out therefore the old leaven, 
 that ye may be a new lump, as ye are un- 
 leavened. For ""Christ our "passover ||was 
 sacrificed for us : 
 
 8 Therefore "let us keep ||the feast, p not 
 with old leaven, nor 'with the leaven of 
 wickedness and malice; but with the un 
 leavened bread of sincerity and truth. 
 
 9 I wrote to you in my epistle, 'not to 
 have intercourse with fornicators : 
 
 10 'Yet not wholly with the fornicators 
 'of this world, or with the covetous, or 
 extortioners, or idolaters: since then ye 
 would be obliged to go "out of the world

 11 But as it is, I wrote to you to have no 
 intercourse, *if any one called a brother be 
 a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or 
 a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner : 
 with such an one "not even to eat. 
 
 12 For what have I to do to judge those 
 who are without ? do not ye judge "those 
 who are within ? 
 
 13 But those who are without God judg- 
 eth. And 'put away that wicked man from 
 among yourselves. 
 
 CHAPTER VI. 
 
 1 The Corinthians must not vex their brethren, in 
 going to law with them : 6 especially under infi- 
 dels. 9 The unrighteous shall not inherit the 
 kingdom of God. 15 Our bodies are the members 
 of Christ, 19 and temples of the Holy Spirit. 16, 
 17 They must not therefore be defiled. 
 
 DARE any of you, having a matter 
 against another, go to law before the 
 unjust, and not before the saints ? 
 
 2 Do ye not know that "the saints will 
 judge the world ? and if the world shall 
 be judged by you, are ye unworthy to 
 judge the smallest matters ? 
 
 3 Know ye not that we shall 'judge 
 angels ? how much more the affairs of this 
 life ? 
 
 4 'If then ye have controversies about 
 worldly affairs, \\rather set even those to 
 judge who are least esteemed in the church. 
 
 5 I speak to your shame. Is it so, that 
 there is not a wise man among you ? not 
 even one who will be able to judge between 
 his brethren ? 
 
 6 But brother goeth to law with brother, 
 and that before the unbelievers ! 
 
 7 Moreover, it is altogether a fault among 
 you, that ye go to law with one another. 
 d Why do ye not rather submit to injury? 
 why not rather submit to be defrauded ? 
 
 8 Nay, ye injure, and defraud, 'and that 
 your brethren ! 
 
 9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall 
 not inherit the kingdom of God ? Be not 
 deceived; 'neither fornicators, nor idola- 
 ters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate per- 
 sons, nor sodomites, 
 
 10 Nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor 
 drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, 
 shall inherit the kingdom of God. 
 
 11 And such were ff some of you: *but ye 
 are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye 
 are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, 
 and by the Spirit of our God. 
 
 12 'All is lawful to me, but all is not ||ex- 
 pedient : all is lawful for me, but I will not 
 be enslaved by any. 
 
 13 *Food is for the stomach, and the sto- 
 mach for food : but God will destroy both 
 it and them. But the body is not for for- 
 nication, but 'for the Lord ; m and the Lord 
 for the body. 
 
 14 And "God both raised up the Lord, 
 and will also raise up us "by his own 
 power. 
 
 15 Know ye not, that 'your bodies are 
 members of Christ? shall I then take the 
 members of Christ, and make them mem- 
 bers of an harlot ? Far from it ! 
 
 16 What! kj*ow ye not that he who is 
 joined to an harlot is one body with her? 
 for the 'two, saith he, shall be one flesh. 
 
 17 T But he who is joined to the Lord is 
 one spirit with him. 
 
 18 'Flee fornication. Every other sin that 
 
 
Duties of the married state. 
 
 a man doeth, is without the body ; but lie 
 who committeth fornication.sinneth 'against 
 his own body. 
 
 19 Or "know ye not that your body is the 
 temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, 
 whom ye have from God, *and ye are not 
 your own ? 
 
 20 For "ye are bought with a price: there- 
 fore glorify God in your body, and in your 
 spirit, which are God's. 
 
 CHAPTER VII. 
 
 2 He treateth of marriage, 4 shewing it to be a re- 
 medy against fornication : 10 and that the bond 
 thereof ought not lightly to be dissolved. 18,20 
 Every man must be content with his vocation. 
 25 Virginity wherefore to be embraced. 35 And for 
 what respects we may either marry, or abstain 
 from marrying. 
 
 NOW concerning the things of which 
 ye wrote to me : "It is good for a man 
 not to touch a woman. 
 
 2 But, to avoid fornication, let each man 
 have his own wife, and let each woman 
 have her own husband. 
 
 3 'Let the husband render to his wife due 
 affection : and likewise also the wife to her 
 husband. 
 
 4 The wife hath not the control of her 
 own body, but the husband : and likewise 
 also the husband hath not the control of 
 his own body, but the wife. 
 
 5 'Deprive not one another, unless by 
 agreement for a time, that ye may give 
 yourselves to fasting and prayer; and 
 come together again, that / Satan tempt 
 you not on account of your incontinency. 
 
 6 But I say this by way of permission, 
 'not of command. 
 
 7 For f I could wish all men to be e as my- 
 self. But "each one hath his own gift from 
 God, one in this way, and another in that. 
 
 8 But I say to the unmarried and widows, 
 •It is good for them if they remain even 
 as I. 
 
 9 But *if they cannot control themselves, 
 let them marry : for it is better to marry 
 than to burn. 
 
 10 But to the married I give command, 
 'yet not I, but the Lord, m That the wife 
 do not separate from her husband, 
 
 11 (But if she have separated, let her re- 
 main unmarried, or be reconciled to her 
 husband;) and that the husband do not 
 leave his wife. 
 
 12 But to the rest I speak, "not the Lord, 
 If any brother hath an unbelieving wife, 
 and she is pleased to dwell with him, let 
 him not leave her. 
 
 13 And the woman who hath an unbe- 
 lieving husband, and he is pleased to dwell 
 with her, let her not leave him. 
 
 14 For the unbelieving husband is sanc- 
 tified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife 
 is sanctified by the husband : else 'were 
 your children unclean ; but now they are 
 holy. 
 
 15 But if the unbeliever withdraw, let 
 him withdraw. The brother or the sister 
 is not bound in such cases. But God hath 
 called us p tto peace : 
 
 16 For how knowest thou, O wife, whe- 
 ther thou shalt 'save thy husband ? or how 
 knowest thou, O husband, whether thou 
 shalt save thy wife ? 
 
 17 But as God hath distributed to each 
 one, as the Lord hath called each one, so

 » Heb. 13. 4. 
 
 Concerning the marriage of virgins. 
 
 let him walk. And r so I direct in all the 
 churches. 
 
 18 Is any one called being circumcised ? 
 let him not become uncircumcised. Is any 
 called in uncircumcision ? 'let him not be 
 circumcised. 
 
 19 "Circumcision is nothing, and uncir- 
 cumcision is nothing, but *the keeping of 
 the commandments of God. 
 
 20 In whatever calling each was called, 
 in this let him remain. 
 
 21 Art thou called being a tservant? care 
 not for it; but if thou canst become free, 
 use it rather. 
 
 22 For he who is called in the Lord, 
 being a servant, is ^the Lord's tfreeman : 
 So also he who is called, being free, is 
 ^Christ's servant. 
 
 23 "Ye are bought with a price ; become 
 not servants of men. 
 
 24 Wherein 'each one is called, brethren, 
 therein let him remain with God. 
 
 25 And as to virgins, 'I have no command 
 from the Lord: yet I give my judgment as 
 one ''who hath obtained the favour from 
 the Lord 'of being his faithful servant. 
 
 26 I think therefore that this is good for 
 the present ||distress : / say, {that it is 
 good for a man to remain as he is. 
 
 27 Art thou bound to a wife? seek not 
 to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife ? 
 seek not a wife. 
 
 28 But if also thou marry, thou hast not 
 sinned : and if the virgin marry, she hath 
 not sinned. But such will have affliction 
 in the flesh ; but I spare you. 
 
 29 But Hhis I say, brethren, The time is 
 short. It remaineth, that those who have 
 wives, be as not having them ; 
 
 30 And those who weep, as not weeping; 
 and those who rejoice, as not rejoicing ; 
 and those who buy, as not possessing; 
 
 31 And those who use this world, as not 
 ^abusing it. For 'the fashion of this world 
 passeth away. 
 
 32 But I would have you without worldly 
 care. The unmarried man careth for the 
 things of the Lord, how he may please the 
 Lord : 
 
 33 But the married man careth for the 
 things of the world, how he may please 
 his wife. 
 
 34 There is a difference also between the 
 wife and the virgin. The unmarried wo- 
 man 'careth for the things of the Lord, that 
 she may be holy, both in body and in spi- 
 rit : but the married woman careth for the 
 things of the world, how she may please 
 her husband. 
 
 35 And this I say for your own benefit ; 
 not that I may cast a snare upon you, but 
 for decorum, and for your undistracted 
 attendance on the Lord. 
 
 36 But if any one thinketh that he flbring- 
 eth dishonour on his virgin daughter, if she 
 be past the flower of her age, and need so 
 require, let him do what he will, he sin- 
 neth not : let them marry. 
 
 37 Yet he who standeth steadfast in his 
 heart, having no necessity, but hath power 
 over his own will, and hath determined 
 this in his heart, that he will keep his 
 virgin, doeth well. 
 
 38 m So that he who giveth her in marriage 
 doeth well ; but he who giveth her not in 
 marriage doeth better.

Of eating meats offered to idols. 
 
 39 "The wife is bound by the law as long 
 as her husband liveth; but if her husband 
 be dead, she is at liberty to be married to 
 whom she will ; "only in the Lord. 
 
 40 But she is happier if she thus continue, 
 p in my judgment : and «I think also that I 
 have the Spirit of God. 
 
 CHAPTER VIII. 
 
 1 To abstain from meats offered to idols. 8, 9 We 
 must not abuse our Christian liberty, to the offence 
 of our brethren : 1 1 but must bridle our know- 
 ledge with.love. 
 
 BUT "concerning things sacrificed to 
 idols, we know; (because we all have 
 'knowledge ; only 'knowledge puffeth up, 
 but love edifieth ; 
 
 2 And d if any one think that he knoweth 
 any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he 
 ought to know. 
 
 3 But if any one love God, 'he is taught 
 by him ;) 
 
 4 Concerning therefore the eating of things 
 offered in sacrifice to idols, we know that 
 •'an idol is nothing in the world, g and that 
 there is no other God but one. 
 
 5 For though there are what are "called 
 gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as 
 there are gods many, and lords many ;) 
 
 6 Yet 'to us there is but one God, the 
 Father, *of whom are all things, and we ||in 
 him; and 'one Lord Jesus Christ, m by whom 
 are all things, and we by him. 
 
 7 Yet all have not this knowledge : for 
 some, "with conscience in regard to the 
 idol, eat until now as of an idol-sacrifice : 
 and their conscience,being weak, is "defiled. 
 
 8 But p food cpmmendeth us not to God : 
 for neither if we eat Hare we the better ; 
 nor if we eat not, ||are we the worse. _ 
 
 9 But 'take heed lest perchance this ||li- 
 berty of yours become r a stumbling-block 
 to the weak. 
 
 10 For if any one see thee, who hast 
 knowledge, reclining at table in the idol's 
 temple, will not 'the conscience of him who 
 is weak be temboldened to eat of idol-sa- 
 crifices ; 
 
 11 And "through thy knowledge shall the 
 weak brother perish, for whom Christ died ? 
 
 12 And x in thus sinning against the bre- 
 thren, and wounding their weak conscience, 
 ye sin against Christ. 
 
 13 Wherefore, y if food lead my brother 
 astray, I will never eat flesh, lest I lead 
 astray my brother. 
 
 CHAPTER IX. 
 
 1 He sheuieth his liberty, 7 and that the minister 
 ought to live by the gospel: 15 yet that himself hath 
 of his own accord abstained, 18 to be either charge- 
 able to them, 22 or offensive to any, in matters in- 
 different. 24 Our life is like a race. 
 
 "AMI not an apostle ? am I not free ? 
 -t*- 'have I not seen Jesus Christ our 
 Lord ? c are not ye my work in the Lord ? 
 
 2 If I am not an apostle to others, yet at 
 least I am to you : for ye are ''the seal of 
 mine apostleship in the Lord : 
 
 3 Such is my reply to those who examine 
 me. 
 
 4 "-And have we not the right to eat and 
 to drink? 
 
 5 Have we not the right to lead about a 
 sister, as a ||wife, as well as the other 
 apostles, and 'the brethren of the Lord, 
 and s Cephas? 
 
 6 Or I only and Barnabas, "have not we 
 the right to refrain from working?

 7 Who ever '"goeth to war at his own 
 charges? who *planteth a vineyard, and 
 eatetli not of its fruit ? or who 'tendeth a 
 flock, and eateth not of the milk of the 
 flock ? 
 
 8 Say I this as a man ? or saith not the 
 law this also ? 
 
 9 For it is written in the law of Moses, 
 m Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that tread- 
 eth out the corn. Doth God take care for 
 oxen ? 
 
 10 Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? 
 Yes, for our sakes it is written : because 
 "he who plougheth ought to plough in hope; 
 and he who thresheth, to thresh in hope of 
 partaking the fruits of his hope. 
 
 11 "If we have sown to you spiritual things, 
 is it a great thing if we shall reap your 
 carnal things ? 
 
 12 If others enjoy this right in regard to 
 you, do not we rather ? ^Nevertheless we 
 have not used this right: but endure all 
 things, «lest we should hinder the gospel 
 of Christ. 
 
 13 r Know ye not that those employed in 
 the worship of the temple eat of the tem- 
 ple, and those who attend at the altar par- 
 take of the altar ? 
 
 14 Thus also s hath the Lord ordained 
 'that those who preach the gospel should 
 live by the gospel. 
 
 15 But "I nave used none of these things : 
 nor have I written this, that it should be 
 so done to me : for x it were better for me 
 to die, than that any one should make my 
 glorying void. 
 
 16 For though I preach the gospel, I have 
 nothing to glory of": for a "necessity is laid 
 upon me ; yea, wo is me, if I preach not 
 the gospel ! 
 
 17 For if I do this willingly, z l have a 
 reward : but if unwillingly, still I am en- 
 trusted with "a stewardship in the gospel. 
 
 18 What then is my reward? That in 
 'preaching, I may make the gospel of Christ 
 without expense, that I may not 'abuse my 
 right in the gospel. 
 
 19 For though I am independent of all, 
 "I have made myself servant to all, •'that I 
 might gain the more. 
 
 20 And e to the Jews I became as a Jew, 
 that I might gain the Jews ; to those under 
 the law, as under the law, that I might gain 
 those under the law ; 
 
 21 To 'those without law, as without law, 
 (''not being without law to God, but under 
 the law to Christ,) that I might gain those 
 who are without law. 
 
 22 'To the weak I became as weak, that 
 I might gain the weak : m I have become 
 all things to all men, "that I may by all 
 means save some. 
 
 23 And this I do for the sake of the gos- 
 pel, that I may become a partaker of it 
 with others. 
 
 24 Know ye not, that those who run in a 
 race, all indeed run, but one receiveth the 
 prize? "So run, that ye may obtain. 
 
 25 And every ^combatant is in all tilings 
 temperate; they indeed to obtain a perish- 
 able crown ; but we «an imperishable. 
 
 26 I therefore so run, r as not uncertainly ; 
 I so contend as not beating the air : 
 
 27 "But I subdue and 'bring into subjec- 
 tion my body: lest, having preached to 
 others, I myself should be "rejected. 
 
Christians must flee from idolatry. 
 
 CHAPTERS X. XI. 
 
 Hides for divine worship. 
 
 CHAPTER X. 
 
 1 The sacraments of the Jews 6 are types of ours, 
 7 and their punishments, 11 examples for us. 
 14 We must flee from idolatry. 21 JVe must not 
 make the Lord's table the table of demons: 24 and 
 in things indifferent we must have regard to our 
 brethren. 
 
 FOR I would not have you ignorant, 
 brethren, that our fathers were all 
 under "the cloud, and all passed through 
 4 the sea; 
 
 2 And were all immersed to Moses in the 
 cloud and the sea ; 
 
 3 And all ate the same "spiritual food ; 
 
 4 And all drank, the same ^spiritual drink : 
 (Tor they drank of the spiritual Rock that 
 Ijfolloweu them: and the Rock was Christ.) 
 
 5 But in most of them God had no plea- 
 sure : for they "were overthrown in the 
 wilderness. 
 
 6 Now these things were texamples to 
 us, that we should not lust after evil, as 
 'they also lusted. 
 
 .7 fNor be ye idolaters, like some of them : 
 as it is written, The people sat down to eat 
 and drink, and arose to dance. 
 
 8 'Nor let us commit fornication, as some 
 of them committed, and *fell in one day 
 twenty-three thousand. 
 
 9 Nor let us . tempt Christ, as 'some of 
 them also tempted him, and ""perished by 
 serpents. 
 
 10 Nor murmur ye, as "some of them also 
 murmured, and "perished by p the destroyer. 
 
 11 And all these things happened to them 
 as examples : and 'they were written for 
 our admonition, 'upon whom the last age 
 is come. 
 
 12 So that 'he that thinketh he standeth, 
 let him take heed lest he fall ! 
 
 13 There hath no temptation assailed 
 you but l|such as belongeth to man: and 
 'God is faithful, "who will not suffer you 
 to be tempted beyond what ye are able ; 
 but will with the temptation also x make 
 a way to escape, that ye may be able to 
 bear it. 
 
 14 Wherefore, my beloved, "flee from 
 idolatry. 
 
 15 I speak as to "wise men; judge ye 
 what I say. 
 
 16 "The cup of blessing which we bless, 
 is it not a partaking of the blood of Christ? 
 'The loaf which we break, is it not a par- 
 taking of the body of Christ ? 
 
 17 For "we being many are one loaf, and 
 one body: for we all partake of the one 
 loaf. 
 
 18 Look at d Israel 'after the flesh: 'are 
 not those who eat of the sacrifices, par- 
 takers of the altar ? 
 
 19 What then do I say? ff that an idol is 
 any thing ? or that an idol-sacrifice is any 
 thine ? 
 
 20 No; but that what the Gentiles ''sacri- 
 fice, they sacrifice to ||demons, and not to 
 God : and I would not have you partakers 
 with demons. 
 
 21 'Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, 
 and *the cup of demons : ye cannot share 
 in the Lord's table, and the table of de- 
 mons. 
 
 22 Or shall we 'move the Lord to jealousy? 
 '"are we stronger than he ? 
 
 23 "All is lawful for me, but all is not 
 expedient: all is lawful for me, but all 
 doth not edify.

 CHAPTER XI. 
 
 1 He reproveth them, because in holy assemblies 4 their 
 men prayed with their heads covered, and 6 women 
 with their heads uncovered, 17 and because gene- 
 rally their meetings were not for the belter but for ■ 
 the worse, as 21 namely in profaning with their 
 own feasts the Lord's supper. 36 Lastly, he call- 
 eth them to the first institution thereof. 
 
 BE ° followers of me, as also I am of 
 Christ. 
 
 2 And I praise you, brethren, *that ye 
 remember me in all things, and 'hold fast 
 the Uprecepts which I delivered to you. 
 
 3 But I wish you to know, that ''the head 
 of every man is Christ; and 'the head of 
 the woman is the man ; and 'the head of 
 Christ is God. 
 
 4 Every man praying or ^prophesying, 
 having his head covered, dishonoureth his 
 head. 
 
 5 But *every woman who prayeth or pro- 
 phesieth with her head uncovered, dis- 
 honoureth her head : for it is all the same 
 as if she were 'shaven. 
 
 6 For if a woman be not covered, let her 
 also be shorn : but if it be *a shame for a 
 woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be 
 covered. 
 
 7 For a man indeed ought not to cover 
 his head, 'being the image and glory of 
 God : but the woman is the glory of the 
 man. 
 
 8 For m the man is not of the woman, but 
 the woman of the man. 
 
 9 "For the man was not created for the 
 woman, but the woman for the man. 
 
 10 For this cause ought the woman "to 
 have ||the token of her husband'' s power on 
 her head, p on account of the ||angels. 
 
 11 Nevertheless, 'neither is the man with- 
 out the woman, nor the woman without the 
 man, in the Lord. 
 
 12 For as the woman is of the man, so 
 also is the man by the woman; 'but all 
 things of God. 
 
 13 Judge among yourselves: Is it be- 
 
 127 
 
Of the Lord's supper. 
 
 coming that a woman pray to God un- 
 covered ? 
 
 14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, 
 that if a man have long hair, it is a shame 
 to him ? 
 
 15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a 
 glory to her: for her hair is given her for a 
 llcovering. 
 
 16 But 'if any one is disposed to be con- 
 tentious, we have no such custom, 'nor the 
 churches of God. 
 
 17 And while thus directing you, I praise 
 you not, that ye come together not for the 
 better, but for the worse. 
 
 18 For in the first place, when ye come 
 together in the church, "I hear that there 
 are [| divisions among you; and I partly 
 believe it. 
 
 19 For *there must also be sects among 
 you, "that those who are approved may be- 
 come manifest among you. 
 
 20 "When ye come together therefore into 
 one place, ||it is not to eat the Lord's 
 supper. 
 
 21 For in eating each one taketh before 
 another his own supper: and while the 
 one is hungry, z the other is revelling. 
 
 22 What! have ye not houses to eat and 
 to drink in? or despise ye "the church of 
 God, and 'shame [jthose who have nothing? 
 What shall I say to you? shall I praise 
 you in this ? I praise you not. 
 
 23 For 'I received from the Lord, what 
 I also delivered to you, d That the Lord 
 Jesus, on the night in which he was be- 
 trayed, took bread, 
 
 24 And having given thanks, broke it, 
 and said, Take, eat: this is my body, 
 which is broken for you: this do ||in re- 
 membrance of ine. 
 
 25 In like manner also he took the cup, 
 after the supper, saying, This cup is the 
 new covenant in my blood : this do, as 
 often as ye drink it, in remembrance of 
 me. 
 
 26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and 
 drink this cup, ye shew the Lord's death 
 'till he come. 
 
 27 ASo that whoever eateth the bread, 
 and drinketh the cup of the Lord unwor- 
 thily, will be guilty as to the body and 
 blood of the Lord. 
 
 28 But f let a man prove himself, and so 
 let him eat of the bread, and drink of the 
 cup. 
 
 29 For he who eateth and drinketh un- 
 worthily, eateth and drinketh Hjudgment 
 to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. 
 
 30 For this reason many are weak and 
 sick among you, and not a few tare dead. 
 
 31 For ft if we judged ourselves, we should 
 not be judged. 
 
 32 But being judged, 'we are chastened 
 by the Lord, that we may not be con- 
 demned with the world. 
 
 33 Wherefore, my brethren, on coming 
 together to eat, wait for one another. 
 
 34 And if any one is ^hungry, let him eat 
 at 'home: that ye come not together for 
 Hcondemnation. And the rest TO I will set 
 in order when "I come.

 II Or, put on. 
 
 Of spiritual gifts. 
 
 and 26 succour of the same body; 27 so we should 
 do one for another, to make up the mystical body 
 of Christ. 
 
 A ND "concerning spiritual gifts, bre- 
 •l*- thren, I would not have you igno- 
 rant. 
 
 2 Ye know 'that ye were Gentiles, car- 
 ried away to the 'dumb idols, just as ye 
 were led. 
 
 3 Wherefore I give you to understand, 
 d that no one speaking by the Spirit of God, 
 calleth Jesus || accursed: and 'that none 
 can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the 
 Holy Spirit. 
 
 4 Now /there are diversities of gifts, but 
 f the same Spirit. 
 
 5 *And there are differences of ||services, 
 but the same Lord. 
 
 6 And there are diversities of operations, 
 but it is the same God 'who worketh all 
 things in all. 
 
 7 *But the manifestation of the Spirit is 
 given to each for the benefit of all. 
 
 8 For to one is given by the Spirit 'the 
 word of wisdom ; to another, m the word 
 of knowledge by the same Spirit ; 
 
 9 "To another, faith by the same Spirit ; 
 to another, "the gifts of healing by the same 
 Spirit ; 
 
 10 p To another, the working of miracles; 
 to another, 'prophecy; r to another, dis- 
 cerning of spirits; to another, 'different 
 kinds of tongues; to another, the inter- 
 pretation of tongues : 
 
 11 But all these worketh the one and the 
 same Spirit, 'distributing to each severally 
 "as he will. 
 
 12 For *as the body is one, and hath many 
 members, and all the members of the one 
 body, being many, are one body : "so also 
 is Christ. 
 
 13 For z in one Spirit we were all immersed 
 into one body, "whether Jews or Greeks, 
 whether bond or free ; and ^have been all 
 made to drink into one Spirit. 
 
 14 For the body is not one member, but 
 many. 
 
 15 If the foot say, Because I am not the 
 hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore 
 not of the body ? 
 
 16 And if the ear say, Because I am not 
 the eye, I am not of the body ; is it there- 
 fore not of the body ? 
 
 IT If the whole body were an eye, where 
 were the hearing? If the whole were hear- 
 ing, where were the smelling ? 
 
 18 But now hath 'God placed the mem- 
 bers each one of them in the body, rf as it 
 hath pleased him. 
 
 19 And if they were all one member, 
 where were the body? 
 
 20 But now they are many members, yet 
 but one body. 
 
 21 And the eye cannot say to the hand, 
 I have no need of thee: nor again the 
 head to the feet, I have no need of you. 
 
 22 Nay, much more those members of the 
 body, which seem to be more feeble, are 
 necessary: 
 
 23 And those members of the body, 
 which we think to be less honourable, on 
 these we ||besjew more abundant honour ; 
 and our uncomely members have more 
 abundant comeliness. 
 
 24 For our comely members have no 
 need : but God hath attempered the body, 
 
 
The preference of love. 
 
 CHAPTER XIII. 
 
 giving more abundant honour to that part 
 which was inferior: 
 
 25 That there should be no Ijdivision in 
 the body ; but that the members should 
 have the same care for one another. 
 
 26 And if one member suffers, all the 
 members suffer with it ; if one member is 
 honoured/ all the members rejoice with it. 
 
 27 And 'ye are the body of Christ, and 
 'members severally. 
 
 28 And *God hath set some in the church, 
 first "apostles, secondarily 'prophets, third- 
 ly teachers, then 'miracles, then 'gifts of 
 healings, "helps, "governments, ||diversi- 
 ties of tongues. 
 
 29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? 
 are all teachers ? are all ||workers of mi- 
 racles ? 
 
 30 Have all gifts of healing ? do all speak 
 with tongues ? do all interpret ? 
 
 31 But "desire earnestly the best gifts. 
 And still further I will shew you a most 
 excellent way. 
 
 CHAPTER XIII. 
 
 1 All gifts, 2, 3 how excellent soever, are nothing 
 worth without love. 4 The praises thereof, and 
 13 preference before hope and faith. 
 
 THOUGH I speak with the tongues of 
 men and of angels, and have not love, 
 I am but sounding brass, or a tinkling 
 cymbal. 
 
 2 And though I have the gift of "prophecy, 
 and understand all mysteries, and all 
 knowledge; and though I have all faith, 
 *so that I could remove mountains, and 
 have not love, I am nothing. 
 
 3 And c though I bestow all my goods to 
 feed the poor, and though I yield my body 
 to be burned, and have not love, it profit- 
 eth me nothing. 
 
 4 "Tiove is long-suffering and kind ; love 
 envieth not ; love ||vaunteth not itself, is 
 not puffed up, 
 
 5 Acteth not unbecomingly, 'seeketh not 
 its own, is not easily provoked, thinketh 
 no evil ; 
 
 6 'Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but «rejoiceth 
 ||in the truth; 
 
 7 *Beareth all things, believeth all things, 
 hopeth all things, endureth all things. 
 
 8 Love never faileth: but speak we of 
 prophecies, they will fail ; or of tongues, 
 they will cease ; or of knowledge, it will 
 vanish away. 
 
 9 'For we know but in part, and we pro- 
 phesy but in part. 
 
 10 But when that which is perfect cometh, 
 then that which is in part will be done 
 away. 
 
 11 When I was a child, I spoke as a 
 child, I thought as a child, I reasoned as 
 a child : but when I became a man, I put 
 away childish things. 
 
 12 For *now we see through a glass,tdark- 
 ly ; but then 'face to face : now I know in 
 part ; but then I shall know just as also I 
 am known. 
 
 13 And now remain faith, hope, love, 
 these three ; but the greater of these is love. 
 
 CHAPTER XIV. 
 
 1 Prophecy is commended, 2, 3, 4 and preferred be- 
 fore speaking with tongues, 6 by a comparison 
 drawn from musical instruments. 12 Both must 
 be referred to edification, 22 as to their true and 
 proper end. 26 The true use of each is taught, 
 27 and the abuse taxed. 34 Women arc forbidden 
 to speak in the church.

 Prophecy commended. 
 
 STRIVE after love, and "desire spiritual 
 gifts, 'but rather that ye may prophesy. 
 
 2 For he that 'speaketh in an unknown 
 tongue, speaketh not for men, but for God: 
 for no one tunderstandeth him; but in the 
 spirit he speaketh mysteries. 
 
 3 But he that prophesieth, speaketh for 
 men for edification, and exhortation, and 
 consolation. 
 
 4 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue 
 edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth 
 edifieth the church. 
 
 5 And I would have you all speak with 
 tongues, but rather that ye prophesy : for 
 greater is he that prophesieth than he that 
 speaketh with tongues, unless he interpret, 
 that the church may receive edifying. 
 
 6 And now, brethren, if I come to you 
 speaking with tongues, what shall I profit 
 you, unless I speak to you either by ■reve- 
 lation, or by knowledge, or by prophesy- 
 ing, or by teaching ? 
 
 7 Even lifeless things giving sound, whe- 
 ther pipe or harp, unless they give a dis- 
 tinction in the Hsounds, how shall it be 
 known what is piped or harped ? 
 
 8 For if the trumpet give an uncertain 
 sound, who will prepare himself for the 
 battle? 
 
 9 So also ye, unless ye utter by the tongue, 
 words teasy to be understood, how shall it 
 be known what is spoken? for ye will 
 speak into the air. 
 
 10 There are, it may be, so many kinds 
 of languages in the world, and none of 
 them is without significancy. 
 
 11 If then I know not the meaning of the 
 language, I shall be to him that speaketh a 
 barbarian, and he that speaketh will be a 
 barbarian to me. 
 
 12 Thus also ye, since ye are zealous tof 
 spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to 
 the edifying of the church. 
 
 13 Wherefore, let him that speaketh in an 
 unknown tongue, pray that he may inter- 
 pret. 
 
 14 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, 
 my spirit prayeth, but my understanding 
 is unfruitful. 
 
 15 What is it then? I will pray with the 
 spirit, and I will pray with the understand- 
 ing also : 'I will sing with the spirit, and I 
 will sing %ith the understanding also. 
 
 16 Since if thou shalt bless only with the 
 spirit, how will he who occupieth the place 
 of the unlearned say Amen *at thy giving 
 of thanks, since he understandeth not what 
 thou sayest? 
 
 17 For thou indeed givest thanks well, 
 but the other is not edified. 
 
 18 I thank my God, I speak with tongues 
 more than ye all : 
 
 19 Yet in the church I would rather speak 
 five words with my understanding, that I 
 may teach others also, than ten thousand 
 words in an unknown tongue. 
 
 20 Brethren, "be not children in under- 
 standing : but in respect to evil 'be child- 
 ren, but in understanding be tmen. 
 
 21 *In the law it is 'written, By men of 
 other tongues and with other lips I will 
 speak to this people; and not even then 
 will they hear me, saith the Lord. 
 
 22 So that tongues are for a sign, not to 
 believers, but to unbelievers : and prophe- 
 sying not to unbelievers, but to believers. 
 
 129 
 
How to use spiritual gifts. 
 
 I. CORINTHIANS 
 
 23 If therefore the whole church assemble I 
 together, and all speak with tongues, and 
 there come in those who are unlearned, 
 or unbelievers, '"will they not say that ye 
 are mad ? 
 
 24 But if all prophesy, and there come in 
 one unbelieving or unlearned, he is con- 
 victed by all, he is judged by all : 
 
 25 And thus are the secrets of his heart 
 made manifest; and so falling on his face, 
 he will worship God, and report "that God 
 is in truth among you. 
 
 26 How is it then, brethren? when ye 
 come together, each of you hath a psalm, 
 "hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a re- 
 velation, hath an interpretation. '"Let all 
 be done to edifying. 
 
 27 If any one speak in an unknown 
 tongue, let it be but two, or at most three, 
 and in turn ; and let one interpret. 
 
 28 But if there be no interpreter, let him 
 keep silence in the church; and let him 
 speak to himself, and to God. 
 
 29 And of the prophets, let two or three 
 speak, and 'let the rest judge. 
 
 SO If any thing be revealed to another 
 that sitteth by, 'let the first be silent. 
 
 31 For ye can all prophesy one by one, 
 that all may learn, and all be exhorted ; 
 
 32 And 'the spirits of the prophets are 
 subject to the prophets ; 
 
 33 For God is not a God of tconfusion, 
 but of peace, 'as in all churches of the 
 saints. 
 
 34 "Let your women keep silence in the 
 churches ; for it is not permitted to them 
 to speak : but x they must be in subjection, 
 as also saith the *iaw. 
 
 35 And if they wish to learn any thing, 
 let them ask their husbands at home; for 
 it is a shame for women to speak in the 
 church. 
 
 36 Or did the word of God come forth 
 from you ? or hath it come to you only ? 
 
 37 z If any one is regarded as a prophet, 
 or spiritual, let him acknowledge that what 
 I write to you are commandments of the 
 Lord. 
 
 38 But if any one is ignorant, let him be 
 ignorant. 
 
 39 Wherefore, brethren, "seek the gift of 
 prophesy, and forbid not to speak with 
 tongues. 
 
 40 'But let all things be done decently, 
 and in order.

 3 By Christ's resurrection, 12 he provelh the neces- 
 sity of our resurrection, against all such as deny 
 the resurrection of the body. 21 The fruit, 35 and 
 manner thereof, 51 and of the changing of them, 
 that shall be found alive at the last day. 
 
 AND I remind you, brethren, of the 
 gospel "which I preached to you, 
 which ye also received, and 'in which ye 
 stand ; 
 
 2 "By which also ye are saved, if ye hold 
 fast twhat I preached to you, unless d ye 
 have believed in vain. 
 
 3 For e l delivered to you first of all, 
 what I also received, that Christ died for 
 our sins ^according to the scriptures ; 
 
 4 And that he was buried, and that he 
 arose on the third day *according to the 
 scriptures :

 || Or, after the 
 
 manner of 
 
 men. 
 
 n 2 Cor. 1.8. 
 
 Of the resurrection. 
 
 6 Afterward he was seen by above five 
 hundred brethren at once; of whom the 
 most remain until now, but some are 
 fallen asleep. 
 
 7 Then he was seen by James ; then ' by 
 all the apostles. 
 
 8 m And last of all he was seen by me 
 also, as it were ||one untimely born. 
 
 9 For I am "the least of the apostles, who 
 am not worthy to be called an apostle, 
 because °I persecuted the church of God. 
 
 10 But p by the grace of God I am what I 
 am : and his grace which was bestowed 
 upon me, was not in vain ; but «I laboured 
 more than they all: r yet not I, but the 
 grace of God which was with me. 
 
 11 Whether then it was I or they, so we 
 preach, and so ye believed. 
 
 12 And if Christ is preached that he hath 
 risen from the dead, how say some among 
 you that there is no resurrection of the 
 dead ? 
 
 13 But if there is no resurrection of the 
 dead, 'then is Christ not risen : 
 
 14 And if Christ is not risen, then is our 
 preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. 
 
 15 And we also prove false witnesses of 
 God; because 'we have testified of God 
 that he raised up Christ : whom he raised 
 not up, if indeed the dead rise not. 
 
 16 For if the dead rise not, then is Christ 
 not risen : 
 
 17 And if Christ is not risen, your faith 
 is vain ; "ye are yet in your sins. 
 
 18 Then they also who have fallen asleep 
 in Christ have perished. 
 
 19 *If in this life only, we have hope in 
 Christ, we are of all men most miserable. 
 
 20 But now ^is Christ risen from the 
 dead, and become z the first-fruits of those 
 who sleep. 
 
 21 For "since by man came death, 'by man 
 cometh also the resurrection of the dead. 
 
 22 For as in Adam all die, so also in 
 Christ shall all be made alive. 
 
 23 (But c each in his own order : Christ 
 the first-fruits; afterward those who are 
 Christ's at his coming. 
 
 24 Then cometh the end, when he shall 
 have delivered up 'the kingdom to God, 
 even the Father; when he shall have put 
 down all rule, and all authority, and power; 
 
 25 For he must reign, 'till he hath put all 
 enemies under his feet : 
 
 26 ('The last enemy that is destroyed is 
 death ;) 
 
 27 For he K hath put all things under his 
 feet. But when he saith all things are 
 subjected to him, it is manifest that he is 
 excepted who subjected to him all things. 
 
 28 *And when all things are subjected to 
 him, then 'will the Son himself also be 
 subject to him who subjected to him all 
 things, that God may be all in all.) 
 
 29 Since what shall those do who are im- 
 mersed for the dead, if the dead rise not 
 at all? why are they then immersed for 
 the dead ? 
 
 30 And 'why stand we in peril every 
 hour ? 
 
 31 I protest Jay ||' my glorying in you 
 which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, m I 
 die daily. 
 
 32 If, !| to use the language of men, "I 
 have fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, 
 of what advantage is it to me, if the dead 
 
f)fthe resurrection. 
 
 rise not? "let us cat and drink; for to- 
 morrow we die. 
 
 33 Be not deceived: ''Evil intercourse 
 corrupteth good customs. 
 
 34 'Awake to righteousness, and sin not; 
 •for some have not the knowledge of God. 
 "I speak this to your shame. 
 
 35 But some one will say, 'How are the 
 dead raised up? and with what body do 
 they come ? 
 
 36 Thou fool, "That which thou sowest is 
 not quickened unless it die : 
 
 37 And what thou sowest, thou sowest 
 not the body that will be, but bare grain ; 
 it may chance of wheat, or of some other 
 grain : 
 
 38 But God giveth it a body as it hath 
 
 E leased him, and to every seed its own 
 ody. 
 
 39 A.11 flesh is not the same flesh; but of 
 one kind is the flesh of men, of another the 
 flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and an- 
 other of birds. 
 
 40 And there are heavenly bodies and 
 earthly bodies : but the glory of the hea- 
 venly is one, and the glory of the earthly 
 is another. 
 
 41 There is one glory of the sun, and an- 
 other glory of the moon, and anotner glory 
 of the stars ; for star differeth from star in 
 glory. 
 
 42 *So also is the resurrection of the dead. 
 It is sown in corruption, it is raised in in- 
 corruption : 
 
 43 »lt is sown in dishonour, it is raised in 
 glory: it is sown in weakness, it is raised 
 in power: 
 
 44 It is sown an flanimal body, it is raised 
 a spiritual body. There is an animal body, 
 and there is a spiritual body. 
 
 45 And so it is written, The first man 
 Adam z became a living soul, "the last 
 Adam, 6 a life-giving spirit. 
 
 46 But not first was the spiritual, but the 
 animal ; and afterward the spiritual. 
 
 47 'The first man is of the earth, d earthy: 
 the second man is the Lord 'from hea- 
 ven. 
 
 48 As is the earthy, such also are those 
 who are earthy : ^and as is the heavenly, 
 such also are those who are heavenly. 
 
 49 And f as we have borne the image of 
 the earthy, "we shall also bear the image 
 of the heavenly. 
 
 50 Now this I say, brethren, that 'flesh 
 and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of 
 God ; nor doth corruption inherit incor- 
 ruption. 
 
 51 IiO, I declare to you a secret ; 'We 
 shall not all indeed sleep, 'but we shall all 
 be changed, 
 
 52 In an instant, in the twinkling of an 
 eye, at the last trump: ( m for the trumpet 
 will sound, and the dead will be raised 
 incorruptible, and we shall be changed.) 
 
 53 For this corruptible must put on m- 
 corruption, and "this mortal must put on 
 immortality. 
 
 54 So when this corruptible shall have 
 
 Eut on incorruption, and this mortal shall 
 ave put on immortality, then will be ful- 
 filled the saying that is written, "Death is 
 swallowed up in victory. 
 
 55 *■() death, where is thy sting? grave, 
 where is thy victory?

 shall approve, these I will send with let- 
 ters to bring your tliberality to Jerusa- 
 lem. 
 
 4 ''And if it be worth while that I go also, 
 they shall go with me. 
 
 5 And I will come to you, 'when I have 
 passed through Macedonia: (for I am pass- 
 ing through Macedonia.) 
 
 6 And it may be that I will remain, or 
 even spend the winter with you, that ye 
 may Hlien send me on whithersoever I go. 
 
 7 For I do not now wish to see you merely 
 in passing ; but I hope to remain a while 
 with you, ff if the Lord permit. 
 
 8 But I shall remain at Ephesus until 
 Pentecost. 
 
 9 For A a great and effectual door is opened 
 to me, and 'there are many opposers. 
 
 10 Now *if Timothy come, see that he 
 may be with you without fear; for 'he 
 worketh the work of the Lord, as I also 
 do. 
 
 11 m Let none therefore despise him : but 
 send him on "in peace, that lie may come 
 to me: for I look for him with the bre- 
 thren. 
 
 12 As to our brother "Apollos, I earnestly 
 besought him to come to you with the bre- 
 thren : but his wish was not altogether to 
 come at this time ; but he will come when 
 he shall find a convenient time. 
 
 13 ''"Watch, 'stand fast in the faith, quit 
 you like men, 'be strong. 
 
 14 'Let all things be done by you in 
 love. 
 
 15 I beseech you, brethren, (ye know 'the 
 house of Stephanas, that they are "the first- 
 fruits of Achaia, and have devoted them- 
 selves to "the service of the saints,) 
 
 16 "That ye submit yourselves to such, 
 and to every one that laboureth with us, 
 and z toileth. 
 
 17 I am glad of the coming of Stephanas, 
 and Fortunatus, and Achaicus: "for what 
 was lacking from you, they have supplied. 
 
 18 'For they have refreshed my spirit and 
 yours: 'acknowledge therefore such men. 
 
 19 The churche.s of Asia salute you. 
 Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in 
 the Lord, ''with the church that is in their 
 house. 
 
 20 All the brethren greet you. 'Greet 
 one another with an holy kiss. 
 
 131 
 
PauVs hope of immortality. 
 
 according to what is written, *I believed, 
 and therefore have I spoken ; we also be- 
 lieve, and therefore speak ; 
 
 14 Knowing, that 'he who raised up the 
 Lord Jesus, will raise up us also by Jesus, 
 and will present us with you. 
 
 15 For ""all hath happened for your sakes, 
 that 'the abundant grace might through the 
 thanksgiving of many redound to the glory 
 of God. 
 
 16 For which cause we faint not; but 
 though our outward man perish, yet '"the 
 inward man is renewed day by day. 
 
 17 For e our momentary light affliction is 
 working for us an overwhelming and eter- 
 nal weight of glory. . 
 
 18 'While we look not at what is seen, 
 but at what is not seen : for what is seen 
 is temporal ; but what is not seen is eternal. 
 
 CHAPTER V. 
 
 1 That in his assured hope of immortal glory, 9 and 
 in expectance of it, and of the general judgment, 
 he laboureth to keep a good conscience, not that he 
 may herein boast of himself, 14 but as one that, 
 having received life from Christ, endeavoureth 
 to live as a new creature to Christ only, 18 and by 
 his ministry of reconciliation to reconcile others 
 also in Christ to God. 
 
 FOR we know that if "this earthly house 
 of our tabernacle were dissolved, we 
 have a building from God, an house not 
 made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 
 
 2 For in this l we groan, earnestly desir- 
 ing to be clothed with our heavenly house: 
 
 3 Since also 'being clothed we shall not 
 be found naked. 
 
 4 For while we are in this tabernacle we 
 groan, being burdened : not that we would 
 be unclothed, but d clothed anew, that mor- 
 tality may be swallowed up in life. 
 
 5 But ' he that hath wrought us for this 
 very thing is God, who also 'hath given to 
 us the earnest of the Spirit. 
 
 6 Therefore we are always confident, 
 knowing that, while at home in the body, 
 we are absent from the Lord : 
 
 7 (For f we walk by faith, not by sight:) 
 
 8 We are confident, I say, and *wish 
 rather to be absent from the body, and to 
 be at home with the Lord. 
 
 9 Wherefore we endeavour, whether at 
 home or absent, to be accepted by him. 
 
 10 'For we must all appear before the 
 judgment-seat of Christ ; "that each may 
 receive the things done in his body, ac- 
 cording to what he hath done, whether 
 good or evil. 
 
 11 Knowing therefore 'the terror of the 
 Lord, we persuade men; and m we are 
 made manifest to God; and I trust also 
 are made manifest in your consciences. 
 
 12 For "we commend not ourselves again 
 to you, but give you occasion "to glory in 
 regard to us, that ye may be able to answer 
 those who glory tin appearance, and not in 
 heart. 
 
 13 For 'if we are beside ourselves, it is to 
 God : if we are sober, it is for you. 
 
 14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; 
 since we thus judge, that 'if one died for 
 all, then were all dead : 
 
 15 And that he died for all, r that those 
 who live should no longer live to them- 
 selves, but to him who died for them, and 
 rose again. 
 
 16 'So that henceforth we know no one 
 after the flesh: nay, though we have known

 The faithfulness of his ministry. 
 
 Christ after the flesh, 'yet thus we now 
 know him no longer. 
 
 17 So that if any one "is in Christ, he is 
 *a new ||creature: y old things are passed 
 away; behold, all is become new. 
 
 18 And all is of God, z who hath recon- 
 ciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and 
 hath given to us the ministry of reconcilia- 
 tion; 
 
 19 Namely, that "God was in Christ, re- 
 conciling the world to himself, not im- 
 puting to them their trespasses, and tcom- 
 mitting to us the message of reconciliation. 
 
 20 We are then 'ambassadors for Christ, 
 as 'though God were beseeching by us. 
 We entreat men on behalf of Christ, Be 
 reconciled to God. 
 
 21 For him who knew no sin, rf he hath 
 made to be sin for us; that we might be- 
 come 'the righteousness of God in him. 
 
 CHAPTER VI. 
 
 1 That he hath approved himself a faithful minister 
 of Christ, both by his exhortations, 3 and by inte- 
 grity of life, 4 and by patient enduring all kinds 
 of affliction and disgraces for the gospel. 10 Of 
 which he speaketh the more boldly amongst them, 
 because his heart is open to them, 13 and he expect- 
 eth the like affection from them again, 14 exhorting 
 to flee the society and pollutions of idolaters, as 
 being themselves temples of the living God. 
 
 AND, as "workers together with him, we 
 'beseech you also 'that ye receive not 
 the grace of God in vain ; 
 
 2 (For he saith, ''I have heard thee in a 
 time accepted, and in the day of salvation 
 I have succoured thee : behold, now is the 
 accepted time; behold, now is the day of 
 salvation.) 
 
 3 'While we give offence in nothing, that 
 our ministry be not blamed : 
 
 4 But in all things tapprove ourselves 'as 
 the ministers of God, in much patience, 
 in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses, 
 
 5 ff In stripes, in imprisonments, |]in tu- 
 mults, in labours, in watchings, in fast- 
 ings; 
 
 6 By pureness, by knowledge, by long- 
 suffering, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, 
 by love unfeigned, 
 
 7 "By the word of truth, by 'the power of 
 God, with Hhe armour of righteousness on 
 the right hand and on the left, 
 
 8 Amid honour and dishonour, amid evil 
 report and good report ; as deceivers, yet 
 true; 
 
 9 As unknown, 'yet well known; m as 
 dying, and behold, we live ; "as chastised, 
 and not killed ; 
 
 10 As sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; 
 as poor, yet making many rich ; as having 
 nothing, yet possessing all things. 
 
 11 Our mouth is opened to you, Corinthi- 
 ans, "our heart is enlarged. 
 
 12 Ye are not straitened in us, but p ye 
 are straitened in your own hearts. 
 
 13 Now, for an equal recompense, ('I 
 speak as to my children,) be ye also en- 
 larged. 
 
 14 'Be not unequally yoked together with 
 unbelievers: for 'what fellowship hath 
 righteousness with unrighteousness? and 
 what communion- hath light with dark- 
 ness ? 
 
 15 And what concord hath Christ with 
 Belial ? or what part hath a believer with 
 an unbeliever ? 
 
 16 And what agreement hath the temple 
 
Paul's confidence in the Corinthians. CHAPTERS VII. VIII. 
 
 of God with idols ? for 'ye are the temple 
 of the living God; as God hath said, "I 
 will dwell among them, and walk among 
 them ; and I will be their God, and they 
 shall be my people. 
 
 17 " Wherefore come out from among 
 them, and be separate, saith the Lord, 
 and touch no unclean thing ; and I will 
 receive you, 
 
 18 »And will be a Father to you, and ye 
 shall be my sons and daughters, saith the 
 Lord Almighty. 
 
 CHAPTER VII. 
 
 1 He proceedeth in exhorting them to purity of life, 
 
 2 and to bear him like affection as he doth to them. 
 
 3 Whereof lest he might seem to doubt, he declareth 
 what comfort he took in his afflictions, by the re- 
 port which Titus gave of their godly sorrow, which 
 his former epistle had wrought in them, 13 and of 
 their loving-kindness and obedience towards Titus, 
 answerable to his former boastings of them. 
 
 HAVING "therefore these promises, 
 beloved, let us cleanse ourselves 
 from all pollution of flesh and spirit, per- 
 fecting holiness in the fear of God. 
 
 2 Receive us ; we have wronged no one, 
 we have corrupted no one, 'we have de- 
 frauded no one. 
 
 3 I speak not to condemn you: for 'I 
 have said before, that ye are in our hearts 
 to die and live with you. 
 
 4 ''Great is my boldness of speech towards 
 you, 'great is my glorying over you : ^1 am 
 filled with consolation, I am exceedingly 
 joyful in all our affliction. 
 
 5 For, *when we were come into Mace- 
 donia, our flesh had no rest, but *we were 
 in every way afflicted ; 'without were fight- 
 ings, within were fears. 
 
 6 But 'God, who consoleth the humble, 
 consoled us by 'the coming of Titus ; 
 
 7 And not only by his coming, but by the 
 consolation which he experienced in regard 
 to you, making known to us your earnest 
 desire, your lamenting, your zeal for me ; 
 so that 1 rejoiced the more. 
 
 8 For though I grieved you by my letter, 
 I do not repent, "though I did repent: (for 
 I see that that letter grieved you, though 
 but for a season.) 
 
 9 Now I rejoice, not that ye were grieved, 
 but that ye grieved to reformation : for ye 
 grieved in a godly manner, that ye might 
 be injured by us in nothing. 
 
 10 For "godly grief worketh a saving re- 
 formation, never to be repented of: "but 
 the grief of the world worketh death. 
 
 11 For look, even this your grieving in a 
 godly way ,what diligence it wrought in you, 
 yea, what clearing of yourselves, what in- 
 dignation, what fear, what vehement de- 
 sire, what zeal, what punishment ! In all 
 things ye have approved yourselves to be 
 clear in this matter. 
 
 12 Wherefore, though I wrote to you, it 
 was not on account of him who had done 
 the wrong, nor of him who had suffered 
 wrong, p but that our care for you in the 
 sight of God might be shown to you. 
 
 13 Therefore we are consoled in your 
 consolation : and still more exceedingly 
 did we rejoice for the joy of Titus, because 
 his spirit 'was refreshed by you all. 
 
 14 For in whatever I have boasted to him 
 of you, I have not been made ashamed ; 
 
 J»ut as we spoke all things to you in truth,

 He exhorteth them to liberality. 
 our boasting to Titus proved the 
 
 so also 
 truth. 
 
 15 And his tlove is more abundant to- 
 wards you, while heremembereth r the obe- 
 dience of you all, how with fear and trem- 
 bling ye received him. 
 
 16 I rejoice therefore that in all things 'I 
 have confidence in you. 
 
 CHAPTER VIII. 
 
 1 He stirrelh them up to a liberal contribution for 
 the poor saints at Jerusalem, by the example of the 
 Macedonians, 7 by commendation of their former 
 foiwardness, 9 by the example of Christ, 14 and by 
 the spiritual profit that shall redound to themselves 
 thereby : 16 commending to them the integrity and 
 willingness of Titus, and those other brethren, who 
 upon his request, exhortation, and commendation, 
 were purposely come to them for this business. 
 
 AND we make known to you, brethren, 
 the grace of God bestowed on the 
 churches of Macedonia; 
 
 2 How that amid a great trial of afflic- 
 tion, the fulness of their joy, and "their deep 
 poverty, abounded to the riches of their 
 Tliberality. 
 
 3 For to their power, I bear them witness, 
 and beyond their power, of their own ac- 
 cord, 
 
 4 They prayed us with much entreaty 
 to receive their gift and 'contribution to 
 the wants of the saints. 
 
 5 And this not merely as we hoped, but 
 they first gave themselves to the Lord, and 
 to us by the will of God : 
 
 6 So that 'we desired Titus, as he had 
 already begun, so also to finish among you 
 this || work of liberality. 
 
 7 Therefore, as ''ye abound in every thing, 
 in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, 
 and in all diligence, and in your love to us, 
 see 'that ye abound in this grace also. 
 
 8 1 speak not by way of command, but 
 because of the zeal of others, and to prove 
 the sincerity of your love, 
 
 9 (For ye know the grace of our Lord 
 Jesus Christ, s that though he was rich, yet 
 for your sakes he became poor, that ye 
 through his poverty might be rich ;) 
 
 10 *I give my advice in this matter. For 
 this is expedient for you, who have already 
 a year ago begun, not only to do, but also 
 to be 'willing. 
 
 11 Now therefore accomplish the doing 
 of it; that as was the readiness to will, so 
 also maybe the accomplishment, according 
 to what ye have. 
 
 12 For 'if there is the willing mind, it is 
 accepted according to what a man hath, 
 and not according to what he hath not. 
 
 13 For I tvish not that others be eased, 
 and you burdened : 
 
 14 But there should be equality; at the pre- 
 sent time let your abundance supply their 
 want, that their abundance also may sup- 
 ply your want: that there maybe equality. 
 
 15 As it is written, m He who gathered 
 much had nothing over ; and he who ga- 
 thered little had no lack. 
 
 16 But thanks be to God, who putteth the 
 same zeal for you into the heart of Titus. 
 
 17 For he accepted indeed "my exhorta- 
 tion ; but being very zealous, he went to 
 you of his own accord. 
 
 18 And we have sent with him "the bro- 
 ther, whose praise is in the gospel through- 
 out all the churches ; 
 
 19 And not that only, but who was also 
 
 135 
 
The liberality of the Macedonians. 
 
 'appointed by the churches our fellow 
 traveller with this gift, which is adminis 
 tered by us, 'for the glory of the Lord him 
 self, and for a proof of your ready mind: 
 
 20 Guarding against this, lest any one 
 should blame us in respect to this abund 
 ant gift which is administered by us : 
 
 21 "Practising what is honourable, not 
 only in the sight of the Lord, but also in 
 the sight of men. 
 
 22 And we have sent with them our bro- 
 ther, whom we have often in many things 
 proved to be zealous, but now much more 
 zealous by his great confidence in you. 
 
 23 As to Titus, he is my partner and fel 
 low-labourer among you: as to our bre 
 thren, they are 'the messengers of the 
 churches, and the glory of Christ. 
 
 24 Therefore shew to them, and before 
 the churches, the proof of your love, and 
 of our 'glorying on your behalf. 
 
 CHAPTER IX. 
 
 1 He giveth the reason why, though he knew their 
 forwardness, yet he sent Titus and his brethren 
 beforehand. 6 And he proceedeth in stirring them 
 up to a bountiful alms, as being but a kind of sow- 
 ing of seed, 10 which shall return a great increase 
 to them, 13 and occasion a great sacrifice of 
 thanksgivings to God. 
 
 FOR as to "the ministering to the saints, 
 it is superfluous for me to write to 
 you: 
 
 2 For I know *the readiness of your 
 mind, "for which I boast of you to the 
 Macedonians, That d Achaia was ready a 
 year ago; and your zeal hath stirred up 
 very many. 
 
 3 c Yet I have sent the brethren, lest our 
 boasting of you should be in vain in this 
 respect; that, as I said, ye may be pre- 
 pared : 
 
 4 Lest perchance if any Macedonians 
 come with me, and find you unprepared, 
 we (that we say not, ye) should be made 
 ashamed in this our confident boasting. 
 
 5 Therefore I thought it necessary to en- 
 treat the brethren, that they would go be- 
 fore to you, and make up beforehand your 
 Upromisedtbounty, that this might be ready, 
 as a matter of bounty, and not of cove- 
 tousness. 
 
 6 'But know this, He who soweth sparing- 
 ly, will also reap sparingly; and he who 
 soweth bountifully, will also reap bounti- 
 fully. 
 
 7 Let each give as he purposeth in his 
 heart: J not grudgingly, or of necessity: 
 for "God loveth a cheerful giver. 
 
 8 *And God is able to make all grace 
 abound towards you; that ye, always hav- 
 ing all sufficiency in all things, may abound 
 to every good work : 
 
 9 (As it is written, *He hath dispersed 
 abroad; he hath given to the poor: his 
 righteousness remaineth for ever. 
 
 10 And may he who 'supplieth seed to 
 the sower, and bread for food, supply and 
 multiply your seed sown, and increase the 
 fruits of your ""righteousness ;) 
 
 11 Being in every thing enriched for all 
 tliberality, "which causeth through us 
 thanksgiving to God. 
 
 12 For the ministering of this supply not 
 only "relieveth the wants of the saints, but 
 is abundant also by many thanksgivings to 
 God ;

 CHAPTER X. 
 
 Against the false apostles, who despised the weakness 
 of his person and bodily presence, he setteth forth 
 the spiritual might and authority, with which he is 
 armed against all opposing powers, 7 assuring 
 them that at his coming he will be found as mighty 
 in word, as he is now in writing being absent, 
 12 and withal taxing them for reaching out them- 
 selves beyond their compass, and vaunting them- 
 selves in other men's labours. 
 
 NOW °I Paul myself beseech you, by 
 the meekness and gentleness of Christ, 
 'who ||in person indeed am humble among 
 you, but being absent am bold toward you : 
 
 2 I beseech you, I say, c that I may not 
 have to be bold when I am present with 
 that confidence, wherewith I intend to be 
 bold against some, who ||regard us as walk- 
 ing according to the flesh. 
 
 3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do 
 not war after the flesh : 
 
 4 ( d For the weapons e of our warfare are 
 not carnal, but ■'mighty Hthrough God g to 
 the pulling down of strong holds;) 
 
 5 *Destroying vain reasonings, and every 
 high thing that exalteth itself against the 
 knowledge of God, and bringing into cap- 
 tivity every thought to the obedience of 
 Christ; 
 
 6 *And being ready to punish all disobe- 
 dience, when *your obedience is fulfilled. 
 
 7 'Do ye look at things after the outward 
 appearance ? m If any one trust to himself 
 that he is Christ's, let him in turn consider 
 this with himself, that, as he is Christ's, 
 even so are "we Christ's. 
 
 8 For though I should boast somewhat 
 more "of our authority, which the Lord 
 hath given us for edification, and not for 
 your destruction, P I should not be ashamed : 
 
 9 That I may not seem as if I would 
 merely terrify you by my letters, 
 
 10 (For his letters,tsaith one, are weighty 
 and powerful; but 'his bodily presence is 
 weak, and his "speech contemptible ;) 
 
 11 Let such a one consider this, that. such 
 as we are in word by letters when we are 
 absent, such will we be also in deed when 
 we are present. 
 
 12 'For we dare not reckon ourselves, or 
 compare ourselves with some who com- 
 mend themselves: but they, measuring 
 themselves by themselves, and comparing 
 themselves among themselves, ||are not 
 wise. 
 
 13 'But we will not boast of things be- 
 yond our limits, but according to the limit 
 of the Uprovince which God hath assigned 
 to us, a limit reaching even to you ; 
 
 14 (For we do not go beyond our limits, 
 as if we reachecFhot to you ; "for we have 
 come as far as to you also in preaching the 
 gospel of Christ :) 
 
 15 Not boasting of things beyond our 
 limits, that is, *of other men's labours; 
 but having hope, as your faith increasetjfc 
 
Paul excuseth his self-boasting. 
 
 to be abundantly || magnified by you within 
 our province, 
 
 16 And to preach the gospel in the re- 
 gions beyond you, and not boast of things 
 made ready for us in another's Uprovince. 
 
 17 *But he that glorieth, let him glory in 
 the Lord. 
 
 18 For *not he that commendeth himself 
 is approved, but "whom the Lord com- 
 mendeth. 
 
 CHAPTER XL 
 
 1 Out of his jealousy over the Corinthians, who 
 seemed to make more account of the false apostles 
 than of him, he entereth into a forced commenda- 
 tion of himself, 5 of his equality with the chief 
 apostles, 1 of his preaching the gospel to them 
 freely, and without any their charge, 13 shewing 
 that he was not inferior to those deceitful workers 
 in any legal prerogative, 23 and in the service of 
 Christ, and in all kind of sufferings for his mi- 
 nistry, far superior. 
 
 WOULD that ye could bear with me a 
 little in "my folly : and indeed ||bear 
 with me ! 
 
 2 For I am 'zealous for you with godly 
 zeal: for 'I have espoused you to one hus- 
 band, d that I may present you 'as a chaste 
 virgin to Christ. 
 
 3 But I fear, lest by any means, as ■''the 
 serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, 
 so your minds ^should be corrupted from 
 the simplicity that is in Christ. 
 
 4 For if he that cometh preacheth another 
 Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if 
 ye receive another spirit, which ye have 
 not received, or "another gospel, which ye 
 have not accepted, ye might well bear 
 || with him. 
 
 5 But I consider that ' I am not at all 
 behind the very chief apostles. 
 
 6 And though 1 am rude in speech, yet 
 not 'in knowledge ; but m we have been 
 thoroughly made manifest among you in 
 all things. 
 
 7 Have I committed an offence "in abas- 
 ing myself that ye might be exalted, be- 
 cause I have preached to you the gospel 
 of God freely ? 
 
 8 I robbed other churches, taking wages 
 of them, to do you service. 
 
 9 And when I was present with you, and 
 in want, "I was chargeable to no one : for 
 what was lacking to me p the brethren who 
 came from Macedonia supplied: and in 
 every thing I kept myself 'from being bur- 
 densome to you, and so I will keep myself. 
 
 10 r As the truth of Christ is in me, t'no 
 one shall silence this my boasting in the 
 regions of Achaia. 
 
 11 Wherefore ? 'because I love you not ? 
 God knoweth. 
 
 12 But what I do, that I will do, "that I 
 may cut off occasion from those who desire 
 occasion ; that wherein they glory, they 
 may be found even as we. 
 
 13 For such x are false apostles, "deceitful 
 workers, transforming themselves into 
 apostles of Christ. 
 
 14 And no wonder; for Satan himself is 
 transformed into *an angel of light. 
 
 15 Therefore it is no great thine if his 
 ministers also are transformed as the "mi- 
 nisters of righteousness ; 'whose end will 
 be according to their works. 
 
 16 C I say again, Let no one think me a 
 fool ; if otherwise, yet even as a fool ||re- 
 ceive me, that I may boast myself a little.

 CHAPTERS XL XII. Paul's sufferings and revelations. 
 
 17 What I now say, d l say not in the 
 Lord, but as it were foolishly, *in this con- 
 fidence of boasting. 
 
 18 f Since many glory in the flesh, I will 
 glory also. 
 
 19 For ye endure fools gladly, ^seeing ye 
 yourselves are wise. 
 
 20 For ye endure it, "if one bring you 
 into bondage, if one devour you, if one 
 take from you, if one exalt himself, if one 
 smite you on the face. 
 
 21 I speak in reference to reproach, 'as 
 though we had been weak. Yet in "what- 
 ever any of them is bold, (I speak foolish- 
 ly,) I am bold also. 
 
 22 Are they Hebrews? 'so am I. Are 
 they Israelites? so am I. Are they the 
 seed of Abraham ? so am I. 
 
 23 Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak 
 foolishly) I am more; m in labours more 
 abundant, "in stripes above measure, in 
 prisons more frequent, "in deaths often. 
 
 24 From the Jews I five times received 
 p forty stripes except one. 
 
 25 I was thrice 'beaten with rods, 'once 
 I was stoned, thrice I 'suffered shipwreck, 
 a night and a day I have spent in the deep ; 
 
 26 In journeyings often, in perils from 
 waters, in perils from robbers, In perils 
 by mine own countrymen, "in perils by the 
 heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in 
 the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in pe- 
 rils among false brethren ; 
 
 27 In labour and toil, x in watchings often, 
 y in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in 
 cold and nakedness. 
 
 28 Besides these occasional things, that 
 which presseth upon me daily, z the care 
 of all the churches. 
 
 29 "Who is weak, and I am not weak ? 
 who goeth astray, and I burn not with zeal? 
 
 30 If I must glory, 1 will glory in mine 
 infirmities. 
 
 31 'The God and Father of our Lord 
 Jesus Christ, d who is blessed for evermore, 
 knoweth that I lie not. 
 
 32 'In Damascus the governor under 
 Aretas the king kept the city of the Da- 
 mascenes with a garrison, desirous to ap- 
 prehend me : 
 
 33 And through a window in a basket I 
 was let down through the wall, and es- 
 caped his hands. 
 
 CHAPTER XII. 
 
 1 For commending of his apostleship, though he 
 might glory of his wonderful revelations, 9 yet he 
 rather chooseth to glory of his infirmities, 11 blam- 
 ing them for forcing him to this vain boasting. 
 14 He promiseth to come to them again : but yet 
 altogether in the affection of a father, 20 although 
 hefeareth he shall to his grief find many offenders, 
 and public disorders there. 
 TT is not expedient for me doubtless to 
 ■*• glory, tl will come to visions and re- 
 velations of the Lord.

 years ago, (whether in the body, 1 know 
 not ; or whether out of the body, I know 
 not: God knoweth;) that such a one was 
 'caught up to the third heaven. 
 
 3 And I know that such a man, (whether 
 in the body, or out of the body, I know 
 not : God knoweth ;) 
 
 4 Was caught up into 'paradise, and heard 
 unspeakable words, which it is not ||lawful 
 for a man to utter.

 PauVs zeal for the church. 
 
 myself I will not glory, but in mine in- 
 firmities. 
 
 6 For though I should desire to glory, I 
 shall not be a fool ; for I shall say the truth: 
 but now I forbear, lest any one should 
 think of me above that which he seeth in 
 me, or heareth from me. 
 
 7 And lest I should be too much elated 
 by these extraordinary revelations, there 
 was given to me a 'thorn in the flesh, J a 
 messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I 
 should be too highly exalted. 
 
 8 A In regard to this I thrice besought the 
 Lord that it might depart from me. 
 
 9 And he said to me, My grace is suffi- 
 cient for thee: for my strength is made 
 perfect in weakness. Most gladly there- 
 fore 'will I rather glory in my infirmities, 
 that the power of Christ may dwell upon me. 
 
 10 Therefore 'I take pleasure in infirmi 
 ties, in abuses, in necessities, in persecu 
 tions, in distresses for Christ's sake ; "for 
 when I am weak, then I am strong. 
 
 11 I am become n a fool in glorying; ye 
 have compelled me: for I ought to have 
 been commended by you : for "in nothing 
 am I behind the very chief of the apostles, 
 though'' I am nothing. 
 
 12 'The signs of an apostle certainly 
 were wrought among you by much pa- 
 tience, by miracles, and wonders, and 
 mighty deeds. 
 
 13 "For what is there in which ye were 
 inferior to other churches, except that 'I 
 myself was not burdensome to you? for- 
 give me 'this wrong. 
 
 14 "Behold, a third time I am ready to 
 come to you ; and I will not be burden- 
 some to you : for 1 ! seek not yours, but you. 
 "For the children ought not to lay up for the 
 parents, but the parents for the children. 
 
 15 And z l will most gladly spend and be 
 spent "for tyou; though the more abund- 
 antly I love you, the less I be loved. 
 
 16 But grant, it may be said, that 'I did 
 not burden you : yet, being crafty, I caught 
 you with guile. 
 
 17 d Did I then make a gain of you by any 
 of those whom I have sent to you ? 
 
 18 e I desired Titus to go, and sent with 
 him our 'brother. Did Titus make gain of 
 you? walked we not in the same spirit? 
 in the same steps?

 21 Lest, when I come again, my God 
 'will humble me among you, and I shall 
 bewail many m who have formerly sinned, 
 and have not repented of the uncleanness, 
 and "fornication, and licentiousness, which 
 they have practised. 
 
 CHAPTER XIIL 
 
 1 He threateneth severity, and the power of his apos- 
 tleship against obstinate sinners. 5 And advising 
 them to a trial of their faith, 7 and to a reforma- 
 tion of their sins before his coming, 11 he con- 
 cludeth his epistle with a general exhortation and 
 a prayer. 
 
 THIS "third time I am coming to you : 
 b By the mouth of two or three wit- 
 nesses shall every word be established. 
 
 2 e I have told you before, and I now say 
 beforehand (as if present the second time, 
 though now absent) to those ^who have for- 
 merly sinned, and to all the rest, that, if I 
 come again, 'I will not spare : 
 
 3 Since ye seek a proof of Christ 'speak- 
 ing in me, who towards you is not weak, 
 but ff among you is mighty. 
 
 4 "For though he was crucified in weak- 
 ness, yet 'he liveth by the power of God. 
 For 'we also are weak ||in him, but we 
 shall live with him by the power of God 
 toward you. 
 
 5 'Try yourselves, whether ye are in the 
 faith ; prove yourselves. Know ye not 
 concerning yourselves, "that Jesus Christ 
 is in you ? unless indeed ye are "unproved. 
 
 6 But I trust that ye will know that we 
 are not unproved. 
 
 7 And I pray to God that ye do no evil ; 
 not that we may appear approved, but that 
 ye may do what is good, and "we be as un- 
 proved. 
 
 8 For we can do nothing against the truth, 
 but for the truth. 
 
 9 For we are glad, p when we are weak, 
 and ye are strong : and this also we pray 
 for, 'even your perfection. 
 
 10 "Therefore I write thus, being absent, 
 that when present 'I may not use severity, 
 'according to the power which the Lord 
 hath given me for edification, and not for 
 destruction. 
 
 11 Finally, brethren, farewell. Be per- 
 fect, be of good comfort, "be of one mind, 
 live in peace ; and the God of love x and 
 peace will be with you. 
 
 12 "Greet one another with an holy kiss. 
 
 13 All the saints salute you. 
 
 14 *The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, 
 and the love of God, and "the communion 
 of the Holy Spirit, be with you all. Amen.

 6 I wonder that ye so soon turn away 
 •from him who called you by the grace of 
 Christ to another gospel : 
 
 7 * Which is not another; only there are 
 some 'who trouble you, and would pervert 
 the gospel of Christ. 
 
 8 But though m we, or an angel from hea- 
 ven, preach any other gospel to you than 
 that which we have preached to you, let 
 him be accursed ! 
 
 9 As we said before, I now say again, If 
 any one preach any other gospel to you 
 "than that ye have received, let him be 
 accursed ! 
 
 10 For °do I now 'seek the favour of men, 
 or of God ? or 'do I strive to please men ? 
 for if I yet pleased men, I should not be 
 the servant of Christ. 
 
 11 r But I inform you, brethren, that the 
 gospel which was preached by me is not 
 from man : 
 
 12 For 'I neither received it from man, 
 nor was taught it, but 'by the revelation 
 of Jesus Christ. 
 
 13 For ye have heard of my former con- 
 duct in the Jewish religion, how that "be- 
 yond measure I persecuted the church of 
 God, and "'wasted it ; 
 
 14 And outstripped in the Jewish religion 
 many of mine t age in mine own nation, 
 "being more exceedingly zealous *of the 
 traditions of my fathers. 
 
 15 But when it pleased God, "who sepa- 
 rated me from my mother's womb, and 
 called me by his grace, 
 
 16 'To reveal his Son in me, that C I might 
 preach him among the heathen ; immedi- 
 ately I consulted not [| with d flesh and 
 blood, 
 
 17 Nor went up. to Jerusalem to those 
 who were apostles before me : but I went 
 into Arabia, and returned again to Damas- 
 cus. 
 
 18 Then after three years e I l|went up to 
 Jerusalem to visit Peter, and remained 
 with him fifteen days. 
 
 19 But I saw no 'other of the apostles, 
 but <lames the Lord's brother. 
 
 20 Now in what I write to you, A behold, 
 before God, I lie not. 
 
 21 'Afterward I came into the regions of 
 Syria and Cilicia ; 
 
 22 And was unknown in person Ho the 
 churches 'of Christ in Judea : 
 
 23 But they had only heard, That he who 
 once persecuted us, now preacheth the faith 
 which he once destroyed. 
 
 24 And they glorified God in regard to 
 me.

 1 He sheweth when he went up again to Jerusalem, 
 and for what purpose : 3 and that Titus was not 
 circumcised .- 1 1 and that he resisted Peter, and 
 told him the reason 14 why he and others, being 
 Jews, believe in Christ to be justified by faith, and 
 not by works : 20 and that they live not in sin, 
 who are so justified. 
 
 THEN fourteen years after "I again went 
 up to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking 
 with me also Titus. 
 2 And I went up by revelation, 'and laid 
 before them the gospel which I preach 
 among the Gentiles, (but Uprivately, and 
 only to the principal persons,) lest per-

 haps e I should run, or should have run, 
 in vain. 
 
 3 But even Titus, who was with me, 
 though a Greek, was not compelled to be 
 circumcised. 
 
 4 And J went up on account of the ''false 
 brethren, introduced by stealth, who had 
 stolen in to spy out our 'liberty which we 
 have in Christ Jesus, 'that they might bring 
 us into bondage : 
 
 5 To whom we yielded in subjection, not 
 even for an hour; that /the truth of the 
 gospel might continue with you. 
 
 6 But from "the principal persons, (how 
 high they were mattereth not to me, 'God 
 accepteth no man's person,) I say, the prin- 
 cipal persons imparted to me nothing new; 
 
 7 But on the contrary, 'seeing that the 
 gospel of the uncircumcision "was en- 
 trusted to me, as that of the circumcision 
 was to Peter, 
 
 8 (For he who wrought in Peter for the 
 apostleship of the circumcision, "wrought 
 "also in me for the Gentiles:) 
 
 9 And learning ""the grace which had 
 been given to me, James, Cephas, and 
 John, who were regarded as 'pillars, gave 
 to me and Barnabas the right hands of 
 fellowship, that we should go to the hea- 
 then, and they to the circumcision; 
 
 10 Only bidding us remember the poor ; 
 r which very thing I was earnest to do. 
 
 11 'But when Peter came to Antioch, I 
 withstood him to the face, because he was 
 to be blamed. 
 
 12 For, before certain persons came from 
 James, 'he ate with the Gentiles: but when 
 they came, he withdrew, and separated 
 himself, fearing those of the circumcision. 
 
 13 And the other Jews also dissembled 
 with him ; so that even Barnabas was car- 
 ried away by their dissimulation. 
 
 14 But when I saw that they walked not 
 uprightly according to "the truth of the 
 gospel, I said to Peter, 'before them all, 
 "If thou, being a Jew, livest like the Gen- 
 tiles, and not like the Jews, why compel - 
 lest thou the Gentiles to live as Jews ? 
 
 15 "We, though Jews by birth, and not 
 "sinners of the Gentiles, 
 
 16 'Knowing that a man is not justified 
 by the works of the law, but c by faith in 
 Jesus Christ, even we have believed in 
 Jesus Christ, that we may be justified by 
 faith in Christ, and not by the works of 
 the law : for ''by the works of the law shall 
 no flesh be justified. 
 
 17 But if, while we seek to be justified 
 by Christ, we ourselves also are found 
 "sinners, is therefore Christ the minister 
 of sin ? By no means. 
 
 18 For if I again build up what I once 
 destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. 
 
 19 For I 'through the law 'am dead to 
 the law, that I may "live to God. 
 
 20 I have been 'crucified with Christ: and 
 I no longer live, but Christ liveth in me : 
 and the life which I now live in the flesh, 
 *I live by faith in the Son of God, 'who 
 loved me, and gave himself for me. 
 
 21 I do not make void the grace of God : 
 for m if righteousness were by the law, then 
 Christ died in vain. 
 
 CHAPTER III. 
 
 1 He askelh wliat moved them to leave the faith, and 
 hang upon the law ? 6 They that believe are jus- 
 
 loy 
 
Of justification by faith, 
 
 tified, 9 and blessed with Abraham- 10 And this 
 he sheweth by many reasons. 
 
 O FOOLISH Galatians, -who hath be- 
 witched you, that ye should not obey 
 the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ 
 hath been clearly set forth among you, as 
 crucified ? 
 
 2 This only would I learn from you, Re- 
 ceived ye 'the Spirit by the works of the 
 law, ''or by the hearing of faith ? 
 
 3 Are ye so foolish ? 'having begun in the 
 Spirit, do ye now finish in / the flesh ? 
 
 4 f Haye ye suffered so much in vain ? if 
 indeed it is in vain ! 
 
 5 He therefore A who supplieth to you the 
 Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, 
 doth he do it by the works of the law, or 
 by the hearing of faith ? 
 
 6 As 'Abraham believed God, and it was 
 Jlaccounted to him for righteousness. 
 
 7 Know therefore, that 'those who be- 
 lieve, these are sons of Abraham. 
 
 8 And .'the SGripture, foreseeing that God 
 would justify the heathen by faith, gave to 
 Abraham the joyful promise, m In thee shall 
 all nations be blessed. 
 
 9 So that those who believe are blessed 
 with believing Abraham. 
 
 10 For whoever are of the works of the 
 law, are under a curse : for it is written, 
 "Cursed is every one who continueth not 
 in all things written in the book of the law 
 to do them. 
 
 11 And "that no one by the law is justi- 
 fied with God, is evident : for ? The just 
 shall live by faith. 
 
 12 And 'the law is not of faith : but, r The 
 man who doeth them shall live by them. 
 
 13 'Christ hath redeemed us from the 
 curse of the law, becoming a curse for us ; 
 (for it is written, 'Cursed is every one who 
 hangeth on a cross,) _ 
 
 14 "That the blessing of Abraham may 
 come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ, 
 that we might receive through faith the 
 promised gitt of the Spirit. 
 
 15 Brethren, (I speak in the manner of 
 men,) "Even a man's Hcovenant, when ra- 
 tified, no one annulleth or addeth to. 
 
 16 Now to Abraham and his seed were 
 the promises made. It saith not, And to 
 seeds, as of many ; but as of one, And to 
 thy seed, which is "Christ. 
 
 17 And I mean to say this, The covenant 
 formerly ratified by God in Christ, the law, 
 *which came four hundred and thirty years 
 after, cannot annul, 'so as to do away 
 the promise. 
 
 18 For if the inheritance is by the law, 
 'it is no longer by promise: but God gave 
 it to Abraham by promise. 
 
 19 Why then is the law ? f It was added 
 on account of transgressions, (till ff the 
 seed should come to whom the promise 
 was made,) through the ^ministry of an- 
 gels, by the hand 'of a mediator. 
 
 20 Now, a mediator is not a mediator of 
 one ; 'but God is one. 
 
 21 Is the law then against the promises 
 of God ? By no means : 'for if there had 
 been a law given which could have given 
 life, verily righteousness would have been 
 by the law. 
 
 22 But m the scripture hath shut up "all to 
 sin, "that the promise by faith in Jesus 
 Christ might be given to those who believe.

 Paul reproveth the Galatians 
 
 23 But before faith came, we were kept 
 under the law, being shut up to the faith 
 which was to be revealed. 
 
 24 So that the law was our tutor to bring 
 us to Christ, 'that we might be justified by 
 faith. 
 
 25 But when faith is come, we are no 
 longer under a tutor. 
 
 26 For ye r are all sons of God by faith in 
 Christ Jesus. 
 
 27 For 'as many of you as have been im- 
 mersed into Christ, 'have put on Christ. 
 
 28 "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there 
 is neither bond nor free, there is neither 
 male nor female: for ye are all "one in 
 Christ Jesus. 
 
 29 And y if ye are Christ's, then ye are 
 the seed of Abraham, and *heirs according 
 to the promise. 
 
 CHAPTER IV. 
 
 1 We were under the law till Christ came, as the heir 
 is under his guardian till he be of age. 5 But 
 Christ freed us from the law : 7 therefore we are 
 servants no longer to it. 14 He remembereth their 
 good will to him, and his to them, 22 and sheweth 
 that we are the sons of Abraham by the free-woman. 
 
 AND I mean to say, That the heir, as 
 long as he is a child, dift'ereth nothing 
 from a servant, though lord of all ; 
 
 2 But is under tutors and governors un- 
 til the time appointed by his father. 
 
 3 So also we, when we were children, 
 "were in bondage under the ||elements of 
 the world : 
 
 4 But 'when the fulness of the time was 
 come, God sent forth his Son, 'born d of a 
 woman, 'subject to the law, 
 
 5 / To redeem those under the law, that 
 we might receive the adoption of sons. 
 
 6 And because ye are sons, God hath 
 sent forth 'the Spirit of his Son into your 
 hearts, crying, Abba, Father ! 
 
 7 So that thou art no more a servant, but 
 a son ; 'and if a son, then an heir of God 
 through Christ. 
 
 8 But then indeed, *not knowing God, 
 'ye were in bondage to those that are really 
 no gods. 
 
 9 But now, ""when ye know God, or rather 
 are known of God, "why turn ye back to 
 "the weak and beggarly ||elements, to which 
 ye desire again to be in bondage ? 
 
 10 f Why do ye observe days, and months, 
 and seasons, and years ? 
 
 Ill fear that I have bestowed upon you 
 labour in vain ! 
 
 12 Brethren, I beseech you, become as I, 
 for I have become as ye. r Ye have done 
 me no injury. 
 
 13 Ye know that 'amid weakness of the 
 flesh I preached the gospel to you 'at first; 
 
 14 And my trial which I had in my flesh 
 ye despised not, nor spurned ; but received 
 me "as an angel of God, *as Christ Jesus. 
 
 15 How happy then did ye deem your- 
 selves ! for I bear you witness, that, if pos- 
 sible, ye would have plucked out your own 
 eyes, and have given them to me. 
 
 16 Am I then become ||hateful to you "by 
 telling you the truth ? . 
 
 17 They =are_zealous for you, not for 
 your good ; buT they wish to shut you out 
 from us, that ye may be zealous for them. 
 
 18 But it is good to be zealous always in 
 that which is good, and not merely when I 
 \oa present with you : 
 
 
The allegory of Hagar and Sarah. 
 
 CHAPTERS V. VI 
 
 19 "My children, for whom I again travail 
 in- birth, until Christ be formed in you ! — 
 
 20 But I could wish to be present with 
 you now, and to change my voice ; for || I 
 stand in doubt of you. 
 
 21 Tell me, ye who desire to be under 
 the law, do ye not hear the law ? 
 
 22 For it is written, that Abraham had 
 two sons ; 'one by the bond-maid, 'and one 
 by the free-woman. 
 
 23 But the son of the bond-woman d was 
 born after the flesh; 'but the son of the 
 free-woman, by promise. 
 
 24 Now this may be allegorized: for 
 these women are two ||covenants ; the one 
 from the mount ' Sinai, that beareth bond- 
 children, is Hagar, 
 
 25 (For Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia,) 
 and ||answereth to Jerusalem which now 
 is, and is in bondage with her children. 
 
 26 But g Jerusalem that is above is free, 
 who is the mother of us all. 
 
 27 For it is written, 'Rejoice, thou bar- 
 ren that bearest not ! break forth and cry, 
 thou that travailest not! for the desolate 
 hath many more children than she who 
 hath an husband. 
 
 28 Now we, brethren, like Isaac, are 
 'children of promise. 
 
 29 But as then *he who was born after 
 the flesh persecuted him who was born 
 after the Spirit, 'even so it is now. 
 
 30 But what saith m the scripture ? "Cast 
 out the bond-woman and her son : for "the 
 son of the bond -woman shall not be heir 
 with the son of the free-woman. 
 
 31 So then, brethren, we are not children 
 of the bond-woman, ? but of the free. 
 
 CHAPTER V. 
 
 1 He moveth them to stand in their liberty, 3 and not 
 to observe circumcision : 1 3 but rather love, which 
 is the sum of the law. 19 He reckoneth up the 
 works of the flesh, 22 and the fruits of the Spirit, 
 25 and exhorteth to walk in the Spirit. 
 
 STAND fast therefore in "the liberty 
 with which Christ hath made us free, 
 and be not again entangled 'with the yoke 
 of bondage. 
 
 2 Behold, I Paul say to you, that c if ye 
 be circumcised, Christ will profit you no- 
 thing. 
 
 3 And again I testify to every man who 
 is circumcised, d that he is bound to do the 
 whole law. 
 
 4 e Ye have abandoned Christ, whoever 
 of you are justified by the law; 'ye are 
 fallen from his grace. 
 
 5 For we through the Spirit e look forward 
 to the hope of righteousness by faith. 
 
 6 For "in Jesus Christ neither circumci- 
 sion availeth any thing, nor uncircumci- 
 sion ; but ; faith working by love. 
 
 7 Ye 'were running well; '||who hath 
 hindered you from yielding obedience to 
 the truth ? 
 
 8 This readiness to yield is not from him 
 m who hath called you. 
 
 9 "A little leaven leaveneth the whole 
 lump. 
 
 10 "I have confidence in you in the Lord, 
 that ye will be no otherwise minded : but 
 *he that troubleth you « shall bear his pu- 
 nishment, whoever he be. 
 
 11 r And I, brethren, if I still preach cir- 
 cumcision, s why am I still persecuted ? 
 then hath 'the offence of the cross ceased.

 The fruit of the Spirit. 
 
 12 "Would that those were even cut oft' 
 'who trouble you ! 
 
 13 For, brethren, ye have been called to 
 liberty; only »use not liberty for an occa- 
 sion to the flesh, but 2 by love serve one 
 another. 
 
 14 For "all the law is fulfilled in one word, 
 even in this, 'Thou shalt love thy neigh- 
 bour as thyself. 
 
 15 But if ye bite and devour one another, 
 beware lest ye be consumed by one an- 
 other. 
 
 16 But I say, 'Walk in the Spirit, and 
 ||ye shall not fulfil the desire of the flesh. 
 
 17 For ''the flesh hath desires against the 
 Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh : 
 and these are opposed to each other ; 'that 
 ye may not do the things that ye would. 
 
 18 But 'if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are 
 not under the law. 
 
 19 Now ff the works of the flesh are mani- 
 fest, which are, Adultery, fornication, un- 
 cleanness, lasciviousness, 
 
 20 Idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, emula- 
 tion, wrath, factions, seditions, heresies, 
 
 21 Envy, murder, drunkenness, revel- 
 ling, and things like these: of which I tell 
 you before, as I have also formerly told 
 you, that 'those who practise such things 
 shall not inherit the kingdom of God. 
 
 22 But 'the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, 
 peace, long-suffering, 'kindness, 'goodness, 
 "•faith, 
 
 23 Meekness, temperance : "against such 
 there is no law. 
 
 24 And those who are Christ's "have cru- 
 cified the flesh, with its passions and de- 
 sires. 
 
 25 p If we live in the Spirit, let us also 
 walk in the Spirit. 
 
 26 'Let us not be desirous of vain-glory, 
 provoking one another, envying one an- 
 other. 
 
 CHAPTER VI. 
 
 1 He moveth them to deal mildly with a brother that 
 hath slipped, 2 and to bear one another's burden: 
 6 to be liberal to their teachers, 9 and not weary 
 of well-doing. 12 He sheweth what they intend 
 who preach circumcision. 14 He glorieth in no- 
 thing, except in the cross of Christ. 
 
 BRETHREN, »||if a man be overtaken 
 in a fault, ye 'who are spiritual, re- 
 store such an one 'in the spirit of meek- 
 ness; considering thyself, d lest thou also 
 be tempted. 
 
 2 'Bear one another's burdens, and so 
 fulfil 'the law of Christ. 
 
 3 For f if a man think himself to be some- 
 thing, when 'he is nothing, he deceiveth 
 himself. 
 
 4 But 'let each one prove his own work, 
 and then he will have his glorying only in 
 respect to himself, and 'not in respect to 
 others. 
 
 5 For 'every one shall bear his own bur- 
 den. 
 
 6 m Let him who is taught in the word, 
 communicate to him who teacheth in all 
 good things. 
 
 7 "Be not deceived; "God is not mocked: 
 for ^whatever a man soweth, that shall he 
 also reap. 
 
 8 'For he that soweth to his flesh, shall 
 of the flesh reap corruption : but he that 
 soweth to the Spirit, shall of the Spirit

 12 As many as desire to make a fair shew 
 in the flesh, "they constrain you to be cir- 
 cumcised; *only lest they should "suffer 
 persecution for the cross of Christ. 
 
 13 For even the very persons who are cir- 
 cumcised do not keep the law; but desire 
 to have you circumcised, that they may 
 glory in your flesh.

 your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love to 
 all the saints, 
 
 16 *Cease not to give thanks for you, 
 making mention of you in my prayers ; 
 
 17 That 'the God of our Lord Jesus 
 Christ, the Father of glory, m may give to 
 you the spirit of wisdom and revelation 
 f|for the knowledge of him : 
 
 18 "The eyes of your understanding be- 
 ing enlightened ; that ye may know what 
 is "the hope of his calling, and what the 
 riches of the glory of his p inheritance in 
 the saints, 
 
 19 And what is the exceeding greatness 
 of his power towards us who believe, 
 "according to the working tof his mighty 
 power, 
 
 20 Which he wrought in Christ, when r he 
 raised him from the dead, and 'set him at 
 his own right hand in heaven, 
 
 21 'Far above all "principality, and au- 
 thority, and power, and dominion, and 
 every name that is named, not only in this 
 world, but also in that to come : 
 
 22 And z put all things under his feet, and 
 gave him "to be head over all things to the 
 church, 
 
 23 z Which is his body, "the fulness of 
 him 'who filleth all in all. 
 
 CHAPTER I 
 
 I After the salutation, 3 and thanksgiving for the 
 JEphesians, 4 he treateth of our election, 6 and 
 adoption by grace, 1 1 which is the true and pro- 
 per fountain of man's salvation. 13 And because 
 the height of this mystery cannot easily be attain- 
 ed, 16 he prayeth that they may come 18 to the full 
 knowledge and 20 possession thereof in Christ. 
 
 PAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ "by 
 the will of God, Ho the saints who are 
 at Ephesus, "and to the faithful in Christ 
 Jesus : 
 
 2 d Grace be to you, and peace, from God 
 our Father, and from the Lord Jesus 
 Christ. 
 
 3 'Blessed be the God and Father of our 
 Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us 
 with all spiritual blessings, with heavenly 
 things in Christ : 
 
 4 As ■''he hath chosen us in him, 'before 
 the foundation of the world, that we should 
 A be holy and blameless before him in love : 
 
 5 'Having predestinated us to *the adop- 
 tion of children through Jesus Christ to 
 himself, 'according to the good pleasure of 
 his will, 
 
 6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, 
 '"which he hath freely bestowed upon us in 
 "the Beloved :

 8 In which he hath abounded toward us 
 in all wisdom and understanding; 
 
 9 'Making known to us the secret of 
 his will, according to his good pleasure,

 10 For accomplishing his plan in 'the

 1 By comparing what we were by 3 nature, with what 
 we are 5 by grace: 10 he declareth, that we are 
 made for good works ; and 13 being brought near 
 by Christ, should not live as 11 Gentiles, and 12 
 foreigners in lime past, but as 13 citizens with the 
 saints, and the family of God. 
 
 AND "you hath he quickened, 'who were 
 dead in trespasses and sins ; 
 
 2 'In which ye once walked according to 
 the course of this world, according to d the 
 prince of the power of the air, the spirit 
 that now worketh in 'the sons of disobe- 
 dience: 
 
 3 'Among whom also we all formerly 
 walked in 'the desires of our flesh, fulfil- 
 ling the will of the flesh and of the mind ; 
 and "were by nature children of wrath, 
 even as others. 
 
 4 But God, 'who is rich in mercy, on 
 account of his _great love with which he 
 loved us, ** 
 
 5 *Even us who were dead in sins, hath 
 'quickened together with Christ: (by grace 
 ye are saved ;)

 CHAPTERS III. IV. Tlie salvation of the Gentiles revealed. 
 
 together with him m in heavenly places, in 
 Christ Jesus: 
 
 7 That in the ages to come he might shew 
 the exceeding riches of his grace in "his 
 kindness toward us, through Christ Jesus. 
 
 8 °For by grace are ye saved, 'through 
 faith: and indeed not of yourselves: 'it is 
 the gift of God : 
 
 9 r Not of works, lest any one should boast. 
 
 10 For we are 'his workmanship, created 
 in Christ Jesus to good works, to 'which 
 God hath before Happointed us, that we 
 should walk in them. 
 
 11 Wherefore "remember, that ye being 
 once Gentiles in the flesh, (who are called 
 Uncircumcision by that which is called x the 
 Circumcision made by hands in the flesh ;) 
 
 12 'That at that time ye were without 
 Christ, 'being aliens from the common- 
 wealth of Israel, and estranged from "the 
 covenants of promise, 'having no hope, 
 'and without God in the world: 
 
 13 ''But now, in Christ Jesus, ye, who 
 once were 'far off", have come near by the 
 blood of Christ. 
 
 14 For ^he is our peace, g who hath made 
 both one, and hath broken down the par- 
 tition-wall between us ; 
 
 15 *Abolishing t'by his death the enmity, 
 the law, with its commands and ordinances : 
 to create in himself of the two one *new 
 man, so making peace ; 
 
 16 And to 'reconcile both to God in one 
 body by the cross, "slaying the enmity 
 thereon : 
 
 17 And came "and brought to you who 
 • were afar off, and to "those who were near, 
 
 the glad tidings of peace. 
 
 18 For 'through him we both have access 
 'by one Spirit to the Father. 
 
 19 Now therefore ye are no longer stran- 
 gers and foreigners, but r fellow-citizens 
 with the saints, and of 'the household of 
 God; 
 
 20 Being 'built "on the foundation of the 
 *apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ him- 
 self being "the chief corner-stone ; 
 
 21 *In whom all the building fitly framed 
 together, groweth to "an holy temple in the 
 Lord : 
 
 22 b In whom ye also are built together, 
 for a habitation of God in the Spirit. 
 
 CHAPTER III. 
 
 5 The hidden mystery, 6 that the Gentiles should be 
 saved, 3 was made known to Paul by revelation : 
 8 and to him was that grace given, that 9 he should 
 preach it. 13 He desireth them not to faint for 
 his tribulation, 14 and prayeth 19 that they may 
 perceive the great love of Christ toward them. 
 
 FOR this cause, I Paul, "the prisoner of 
 Jesus Christ 'for you Gentiles ; 
 
 2 If indeed ye have heard of 'the dispen- 
 sation of the grace of God d which is given 
 me for you : 
 
 3 "That f by revelation g he made known 
 to me the secret, * (as I wrote [|before in 
 few words, 
 
 4 Whereby, when ye read, ye can under- 
 stand my knowledge 'in the secret of 
 Christ,) 
 
 5 *Which in other ages was not made 
 known to the sons of men, 'as it is now 
 revealed to his holy apostles and prophets 
 by the Spirit ;

 "partakers of his promise in Christ by the 
 gospel : 
 
 7 'Of which I became a minister, 'accord- 
 ing to the gift of the grace of God given to 
 me by the effectual working of his power. 
 
 8 To me, 'who am less than the least of 
 all saints, was this grace given, that 1 
 should preach among the Gentiles "the un- 
 searchable riches of Christ; 
 
 9 And show clearly to all what is the dis- 
 pensation of z the secret, » which from 
 eternity hath been hidden in God, 'who 
 created all things by Jesus Christ : 
 
 10 "That now 'to the principalities and 
 powers in heavenly places 'might be made 
 known through the church the manifold 
 wisdom of God, 
 
 11 d According to the eternal purpose 
 which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord : 
 
 12 In whom we have boldness and 'access 
 ^with confidence by faith in him. 
 
 13 ^Wherefore I desire not to faint in my 
 afflictions "for you, 'which is your glory. 
 
 14 For this cause I bow my knees to the 
 Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 
 
 15 From whom *the whole family in hea- 
 ven and on earth is named, 
 
 16 That he would grant you, 'according to 
 the riches of his glory, "'to be strengthened 
 with might by his Spirit in "the inner man ; 
 
 17 "That Christ may dwell in your hearts 
 by faith ; that ye, 'being rooted and ground- 
 ed in love, 
 
 18 'May be able to comprehend with all 
 saints r whatis the breadth, and length, and 
 depth, and height; 
 
 19 And to know the love of Christ, which 
 passeth knowledge, that ye may be filled 
 'with all the fulness of God. 
 
 20 Now 'to him who is able to do abun- 
 dantly "above all that we ask or think, 
 According to his power that worketh in 
 us, 
 
 21 »To him be glory in the church by 
 Christ Jesus throughout all ages, for ever 
 and ever ! Amen. 
 
 CHAPTER IV. 
 
 1 Me exhorteth to unity, 7 and declareth that God 
 therefore giveth divers 11 gifts to ment that his 
 church might be 13 edified, and 16 grown up in 
 Christ. 18 He calleth Ihern. from the impurity of 
 the Gentiles, 24 to put on the new man, 25 to cast 
 off lying, and 29 corrupt communication. 
 
 T THEREFORE, "the prisoner in the 
 J- Lord, beseech you to 'walk worthily 
 of the calling wherewith ye are called, 
 
 2 'With all lowliness and meekness, with 
 long-suffering, bearing with one another in 
 love; 
 
 3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the 
 Spirit ^in the bond of peace. 
 
 4 'There is one body, and •''one Spirit, as 
 also ye were called in one e hope of your 
 calling ; 
 
 5 *One Lord, 'one faith, *one immersion, 
 
 6 'One God and Father of all, who is 
 above all, and "through all, and in you 
 all. 
 
 7 But "to each one of us is given grace 
 according to the measure of the gift of 
 Christ. 
 
 8 Wherefore it is said, "He ascended on 
 high, 'led ||captivity captive, and gave gifts 
 to men. 
 
 9 'Now this, He ascended, what meaneth 
 
 143 
 
Exhortations to unity, love, fyc. 
 
 it but that he also descended first into 
 these lower regions of earth? 
 
 10 He that descended is the same also 
 that ascended above all the heavens, "that 
 he might ||fill all things. 
 
 11 'And he gave some, apostles; and 
 some, prophets; and some, "evangelists; 
 and some, ^pastors and "teachers ; 
 
 12 *For the perfecting of the saints, for 
 the work of the ministry, °for the edifying 
 of 'the body of Christ : 
 
 13 Till we all attain to the unity of the 
 faith, c and of the knowledge of the Son of 
 God, to d perfect manhood, to the complete 
 llstature of the fulness of Christ : 
 
 14 That we be no longer children, -tossed 
 to and fro, and carried about with every 
 e wind of doctrine, by the hand of men, by 
 their craftiness, "in the wiles of deception: 
 
 15 But Mlspeaking the truth in love, 'may 
 grow up in all things into him, 'who is the 
 head, even Christ : 
 
 16 "From whom the whole body fitly 
 joined together and compacted by all the 
 joints of supply, by the operation of every 
 part according to its measure, maketh in- 
 crease of the body to the edifying of itself 
 in love. 
 
 17 This I say therefore, and testify in the 
 Lord, that "ye henceforth walk not as other 
 Gentiles walk, "in the vanity of their mind, 
 
 18 ^Having the understanding darkened, 
 'being alienated from the life of God 
 through the ignorance that is in them, 
 through the r ||blindness of their heart: 
 
 19 'Who, being past feeling, 'have given 
 themselves over to lasciviousness, to prac- 
 tise greedily all uncleanness. v _ 
 
 20 But ye have not so learned Christ ; 
 
 21 "If indeed ye have heard of him, and 
 been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus, 
 
 22 That ye should *put off" "the old man 
 of *your former conduct, corrupted by its 
 deceitful desires, 
 
 23 And "be renewed in the spirit of your 
 mind, 
 
 24 And 'put on the new man, that in God 
 c is created in righteousness and ||true holi- 
 ness. 
 
 25 Wherefore putting away falsehood, 
 d speak" truth each one with his neighbour: 
 for 'we are members one of another. 
 
 26 'Be angry, and sin not : let not the 
 sun go down upon your wrath, 
 
 27 g Nor give place to the devil. 
 
 28 Let him that stole, steal no more: but 
 rather '"let him labour with his hands, work- 
 ing at what is good, that he may be able l|to 
 impart 'to him who needeth. 
 
 29 'Let no corrupt words issue from your 
 mouth, but rather 'whatever is good ||for 
 needful edifying, "that it may impart grace 
 to the hearers. 
 
 30 And "grieve not the Holy Spirit of 
 God, "by whom ye are sealed to the day 
 of ''redemption. 
 
 31 'Let all bitterness, and wrath, and 
 anger, and clamour, and r evil-speaking, 
 be put away from you, 'with all wicked- 
 ness : 
 
 32 And 'be kind to one another, tender- 
 hearted, "forgiving one another, as also 
 God in Christ hath forgiven you.

 To avoid fornication, uncleanness, #-c. 
 
 vnth the wicked, 15 to walk warily, and to oe 
 18 fitted with the Spirit, 22 he descendeth to the 
 particular duties, hov> wives ought to ohey their 
 husbands, 25 and husbands ought to love their 
 wives, 32 even as Christ doth his church. 
 
 BE "therefore followers of God as dear 
 children; 
 
 2 And 'walk in love, 'as Christ also hath 
 loved us, and hath given himself for us an 
 offering and a sacrifice, d a sweet-smelling 
 savour with God. 
 
 3 But 'fornication, and all uncleanness, 
 or ||covetousness, f let it not be even named 
 among you, as becometh saints ; 
 
 4 <Nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor 
 jesting, * which are not becoming: but 
 rather giving of thanks. 
 
 5 For this ye know, that 'no fornicator 
 or unclean person, or covetous man, "who 
 is an idolater, 'hath any inheritance in the 
 kingdom of Christ and of God. 
 
 6 m Let no one deceive you with vain 
 words : for on account of these things 
 "cometh the wrath of God "on the sons of 
 lldisobedience. 
 
 7 Be not therefore partakers with them. 
 
 8 y For ye were once darkness, but 'are 
 now light in the Lord : walk as "children 
 of light; 
 
 9 (For 'the fruit of the Spirit is in all 
 goodness, and righteousness, and truth ;) 
 
 10 'Proving what is acceptable to the 
 Lord. 
 
 11 And "have no fellowship with *the un- 
 fruitful works of darkness, but rather "ex- 
 pose them. 
 
 12 *For it is a shame even to name the 
 things which are done by them in se- 
 cret. 
 
 13 But being exposed by the light, °they 
 are all made manifest: for whatever is 
 made manifest tbelongeth to the light. 
 
 14 Wherefore it is said, *Awake, thou 
 that sleepest, and 'arise from the dead, 
 and Christ will give thee light. 
 
 15 d See then that ye walk circumspectly, 
 not as unwise, but as wise, 
 
 16 'Redeeming the time, 'because the 
 days are evil. 
 
 17 ^Wherefore be not foolish, but *under- 
 stand 'what is the will of the Lord. 
 
 18 And 'be not drunk with wine, which 
 leadeth to rioting ; but be filled with the 
 Spirit ; 
 
 19 Speaking to yourselves 'in psalms, 
 and hymns, and spiritual songs, singing 
 and making melody in your heart to the 
 Lord, 
 
 20 "Giving thanks always for all things 
 to God and the Father, "in the name ot 
 our Lord Jesus Christ; 
 
 21 "Submitting yourselves to each other 
 in the fear of God. 
 
 22 p Wives, submit yourselves to your 
 own husbands, 5 as to the Lord. 
 
 23 For "the husband is the head of the 
 wife, as also 'Christ is the head of the 
 church: and he is the Saviour of 'the 
 body. 
 
 24 But just as the church is subject to 
 Christ, so let the wives be to their own 
 husbands "in every thing. 
 
 25 "Husbands, love your wives, as Christ 
 also loved the church, and "gave himself 
 for it, 
 
 26 That he might sanctify it, having 
 
Duties of children, servants, <$'C. 
 
 cleansed it 'with the washing of water "by 
 his word, 
 
 27 'That he might present it to himself a 
 
 tlorious church, c not having spot or wrin- 
 le, or any such thing; d but that it might 
 be holy and without blemish. 
 
 28 So ought men to love their wives, as 
 their own bodies. He that loveth his wife 
 loveth himself. 
 
 29 For no one ever hated his own flesh ; 
 but he nourisheth and cherisheth it, as also 
 the Lord the church : 
 
 30 For e we are members of his body, of 
 his flesh, and of his bones. 
 
 31 'For this reason shall a man leave his 
 father and mother, and shall cleave to his 
 wife, and the e two shall be one flesh. 
 
 32 This is a great mystery : but I speak 
 concerning Christ and the church. 
 
 33 But *do ye love each one his wife as 
 himself: and let the wife 'reverence her 
 husband. 
 
 CHAPTER VI. 
 
 I The duty of children towards their parents, 5 of 
 servants towards their masters. 10 Our life is a 
 warfare, 12 not only against flesh and blood, but 
 also spiritual enemies. 13 The complete armour 
 of a Christian, 18 and how it ought to be used. 
 21 Tychicus is commended. 
 
 CHILDREN, "obey your parents in the 
 Lord : for this is right. 
 
 2 'Honour thy father and mother, (which 
 is the first commandment with a promise,) 
 
 3 That it may be well with thee, and 
 thou mayest live long on the earth. 
 
 4 And, c ye fathers, provoke not your 
 children to wrath: but d bring them up in 
 the instruction and admonition of the 
 Lord. 
 
 __ 5 'Servants, be obedient to your masters 
 in the flesh, ^with fear and trembling, «in 
 singleness of your heart, as to Christ; 
 
 6 *Not with eye-service, as men-pleasers; 
 but as servants of Christ, doing the will of 
 God from the heart ; 
 
 7 With good will doing service, as to the 
 Lord, and not to men: 
 
 8 'Knowing that whatever good any one 
 doeth, he will receive a reward for this 
 from the Lord, 'whether he be bond or free. 
 
 9 And, ye 'masters, do the same to them, 
 tl m forbearing threatening: knowing that 
 
 II "your Master also is in heaven, and there 
 is 'no respect of persons with him.

 4 Always, in every prayer of mine for you 
 all, making my prayer with joy, 
 
 5 ''For your participation in the gospel 
 from the first day until now ; 
 
 6 Being confident of this very thing, that 
 he who hath begun 'a good work in you, 
 ||will perform it ^until the day of Jesus 
 Christ : 
 
 7 Even as it is right for me to think this 
 of you all, because ||I have you s 'm my 
 heart; since both in *my bonds, and in 
 'the defence and establishment of the gos- 
 pel, 'ye all are || partakers of the same 
 grace with me. 
 
 8 For 'God is my witness, m how I love 
 you all with the tender love of Jesus Christ 
 
 145 
 
Paul's zeal for Christ's glory. 
 
 9 And this I pray, "that your love may 
 abound yet more and more in knowledge 
 and in all || judgment; 
 
 10 That "ye may distinguish between 
 things that differ; 'that ye may be pure 
 and without offence «till the day of Christ; 
 
 11 Being filled with the fruits of right- 
 eousness; 'which are by Jesus Christ, 'to 
 the glory and praise of God. 
 
 12 But 1 wish you to know, brethren, 
 that what hath befallen me hath tended 
 rather to the furtherance of the gospel ; 
 
 13 So that my bonds ||in Christ are be- 
 come known 'in all ||the palace, and ||in all 
 other places ; 
 
 14 And many of the brethren in the Lord, 
 rendered confident by my bonds, much 
 more fearlessly venture to speak the word. 
 
 15 Some indeed preach Christ ||from envy 
 and "strife; and some also from good will. 
 
 16 Those led by contention, preach Christ 
 not purely, thinking they will add affliction 
 to my.bonds: 
 
 17 But those led by love, preach him 
 knowing that I am placed for *the defence 
 of the gospel. 
 
 18 What then ? notwithstanding, in every 
 way, whether in pretence or in truth, Christ 
 is preached; and in this I rejoice, yea, and 
 will rejoice. 
 
 19 For I know that this will turn to my 
 salvation 'through your prayer, and the aid 
 of z the Spirit of Jesus Christ, 
 
 20 According to my "earnest expectation 
 and hope, that I shall 6 in nothing be made 
 ashamed, but that c with all boldness, as 
 always, so now also, Christ will be magni- 
 fied in my body, whether by life, or by 
 death. 
 
 21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die 
 is gain. 
 
 22 But if my living in the flesh is fruitful 
 of labour, then what I shall choose I know 
 not. 
 
 23 For d I am in a strait between the two, 
 having a desire to "depart, and to be with 
 Christ ; for it is far better : 
 
 24 But my continuing in the flesh is more 
 needful for you. 
 
 25 And ^having this confidence, I know 
 that I shall remain and continue with you 
 all for your furtherance and joy in faitn ; 
 
 26 That *your rejoicing may be more 
 abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my 
 coming to you again. 
 
 27 Only "conduct yourselves as becometh 
 the gospel of Christ : that whether I come 
 and see you, or be absent, I may hear in 
 regard to you, 'that ye stand fast in one 
 spirit, *with one mind 'striving together 
 for the faith of the gospel ; 
 
 28 And in nothing terrified by your ad- 
 versaries: "which is to them an evident 
 token of perdition, "but to you of salva- 
 tion, and that from God. 
 
 29 For to you "it is given on behalf of 
 Christ, p not only to believe on him, but 
 also to suffer for him ; 
 
 30 'Having the same conflict /which ye 
 saw in me, and now hear to be in me. 
 
 CHAPTER II. 
 
 1 He exhorteth them to unity, and to all humbleness

 exaltation: 12 to a careful proceeding in the way 
 of salvation, that they be as lights to the wicked 
 world, 16 and comforts to him their apostle, who

 is now ready to be offered up to God. 19 He hoptth 
 to send Timothy to them, whom he greatly com- 
 mendeth, 25 as Epaphroditus also, whom he present- 
 ly sendeth to them. 
 
 TF there is therefore any consolation in 
 -*- Christ, if any solace from love, "if any 
 fellowship ||of the Spirit, if any 'tender 
 love and compassion, 
 
 2 'Fulfil my joy, ''that ye be like-minded, 
 having the same love, being of one soul, 
 of one mind. 
 
 3 'Do nothing through strife or vain-glory; 
 but ^in lowliness of mind let each esteem 
 others better than himself. 
 
 4 ^Regarding not each his own good, but 
 each also that of others. 
 
 5 "Let this mind be in you, which was 
 also in Christ Jesus : 
 
 6 Who, 'though in the form of God. 
 fthoughtnothis visible equality with God 
 a thing to be coveted, 
 
 7 'But divested himself of it, taking the 
 form m of a servant, and "assuming the like- 
 ness of men : 
 
 8 And appearing in ||condition as a man, 
 he humbled himself, and "became obedient 
 to death, even the death of the cross. 
 
 9 Wherefore God also ? hath highly ex- 
 alted him, and 'given him a name which is 
 above every name : 
 
 10 'That at the name of Jesus every knee 
 may bow, of those who are in heaven, and 
 on earth, and beneath the earth, 
 
 11 And 'every tongue acknowledge that 
 Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God 
 the Father. 
 
 12 Wherefore, my beloved, 'as ye have 
 always obeyed, not as in my presence only, 
 but now much more in my absence, work 
 out your own salvation with "fear and 
 trembling. 
 
 13 For *it is God who, of his own good 
 pleasure, worketh in you both to will and 
 to do. 
 
 14 Do all things ''without murmurings 
 and *disputings : 
 
 15 That ye may be blameless and [Iguile- 
 less, "children of God, without rebuke, *in 
 the midst of c a crooked and perverse race, 
 among whom [\ d ye shine as lights in the 
 world; 
 
 16 Holding forth the word of life ; that 
 e I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that fl 
 have not run in vain, nor laboured in vain. 
 
 17 Nay, though g l be ||off'ered upon the 
 sacrifice "and service of your faith, 'I re- 
 joice, and rejoice with you all. 
 
 18 And in like manner do ye also rejoice, 
 and rejoice with me. 
 
 19 But I hope in the Lord Jesus soon to 
 send to you 'Timothy, that I also may be 
 cheered by knowing your state. 
 
 20 For I have no man ' || like-minded, who 
 will so sincerely care for your affairs. 
 
 21 For all '"seek their own affairs, not 
 those of Jesus Christ. 
 
 22 But ye know the proof of him, "that 
 as a son with a father, he hath served with 
 me in the gospel. 
 
 23 Him therefore I hope to send present- 
 ly, so soon as t-shall have seen tne state 
 of my affairs. 
 
 24 But °I trust in the Lord that I also 
 myself shall come shortly. 
 
 25 But I thought it necessary to send to 
 you '"Epaphroditus, my brother, and fellow-

 messenger to 'minister to my wants. 
 
 26 'For he longed after you all, and was 
 much distressed, because ye had heard that 
 he was sick. 
 
 27 For indeed he was sick near to death : 
 but God had mercy on him ; and not on 
 him only, but on me also, lest I should 
 have sorrow upon sorrow. 
 
 28 I sent him therefore the more readily, 
 that, seeing him again, ye may rejoice, and 
 that I may be the less sorrowful. 
 
 29 Receive him therefore in the Lord 
 with all gladness ; and || "hold such in ho- 
 nour: 
 
 30 Because for the work of Christ he was 
 near to death, not regarding his life, *to 
 supply what was yet wanting in your ser- 
 vice towards me. 
 
 CHAPTER III. 
 
 1 He warneth them to beware of the false teachers of 
 the circumcision,^ shewing that himself hath greater 
 cause than they to trust in the righteousness of the 
 law: 7 which notwithstanding he counleth as dung 
 and loss, to gain Christ and his righteousness, 
 12 therein acknowledging his own imperfection. 
 15 He exhorteth them to be thus minded, 17 and to 
 imitate him, 18 and to decline the ways of carnal 
 Christians. 
 
 FINALLY, my brethren, "rejoice in the 
 Lord. To write the same things to 
 you, to me indeed is not grievous, and to 
 you is safe. 
 
 2 'Beware of these dogs, beware of these 
 'evil -workers, d beware of their concision ! 
 
 3 For we are e the circumcision, Avho 
 worship God in the Spirit, and ^rejoice in 
 Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in 
 the flesh. 
 
 4 Though A I might also have confidence 
 in the flesh. If any other one thinketh 
 that he might trust in the flesh, I more : 
 
 5 'Circumcised the eighth day, *of the 
 stock of Israel, 'of the tribe of Benjamin, 
 m an Hebrew of Hebrew parents ; as to the 
 law, "a Pharisee ; 
 
 6 "As to zeal, ^persecuting the church ; 'as 
 to the righteousness of the law, 'blameless. 
 
 7 But 'whatever was gain to me, this I 
 have counted loss for the sake of Chrisj;. 
 
 8 Nay, indeed I even count all things but 
 loss 'for the excellency of the knowledge 
 of Christ Jesus my Lord : for whom I have 
 suffered the loss of all things, and count 
 them but dung, that I may win Christ, 
 
 9 And be found in him, not having "mine 
 own righteousness, which is of the law, but 
 z that which is through faith in Christ, the 
 righteousness which is of God by faith : 
 
 10 That I may know him, and the power 
 of his resurrection, and "the fellowship of 
 his sufferings, being conformed to him in 
 his death ; 
 
 11 If by any means I may ^attain to the 
 resurrection of the dead. 
 
 12 Not that I have already "attained, or 
 have already 'finished my course: but I

 IV. He exhorteth to purity, «^c. 
 
 feet, *be thus minded : and if in any thing 
 ye be otherwise minded, God will also 
 reveal this to you. 
 
 16 Nevertheless, as far as we have already 
 attained, 'let us walk *by the same rule, 'let 
 us mind the same thing. 
 
 17 Brethren, m be unitedly followers of 
 me, and observe those who walk thus, as 
 "ye have us for an example. 
 
 18 (For many walk, of whom I have told 
 you often, and now tell you even weep- 
 ing, that they are "enemies of the cross of 
 Christ: 
 
 19 f Whose end is destruction, 'whose God 
 is their belly, and r whose glory is in their 
 shame, 'who mind earthly things.) 
 
 20 For 'our citizenship is in heaven; 
 "whence also we "look for the Saviour, the 
 Lord Jesus Christ: 
 
 21 "Who will change our vile body, that 
 it may be fashioned Tike his glorious body, 
 "according to the working whereby he is 
 able °to subdue all things to himself. 
 
 CHAPTER IV. 
 
 1 From particular admonitions 4 he proceedeth to 
 general exhortations, 10 shewing how he rejoiced 
 at their liberality towards him lying in prison, 
 not so much for the supply of his own wants, as 
 for the grace of God in them. 19 And so he con- 
 cludeth with prayer and salutations. 
 
 THEREFORE, my brethren beloved 
 and earnestly "longed for, 'my joy and 
 crown, so 'stand fast in the Lord, beloved ! 
 
 2 I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syn- 
 tyche d to be of the same mind in the Lord. 
 
 3 And I entreat thee also, true yoke-fel- 
 low, help those women who 'laboured with 
 me in the gospel, with Clement also, and 
 with my other fellow -labourers, whose 
 names are in 'the book of life. 
 
 4 fRejoice in the Lord always : again I 
 say, Rejoice. 
 
 5 Let your meekness be known to all 
 men. *The Lord is at hand. 
 
 6 'Be anxious for nothing ; but in every 
 thing by prayer and supplication with 
 thanksgiving let your requests be made 
 known to God. 
 
 7 And 'the peace of God, which passeth 
 all understanding, will keep your hearts 
 and minds through Christ Jesus. 
 
 8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are 
 true, whatever ||honourable, whatever just, 
 whatever pure, whatever lovely, 'whatever 
 of good report, whatever virtuous and 
 praiseworthy, have regard to these things. 
 
 9 m What ye have learned, and received, 
 and heard, and seen in me, this practise : 
 and "the God of peace will be with you. 
 
 10 But I rejoice in the Lord greatly, that 
 now at length "your care of me hath re- 
 vived again; as to which also ye formerly 
 had care, but lacked opportunity. 
 
 11 Not that I speak in respect to want: 
 for I have learned, in whatever state I am, 
 ^therein to be content. 
 
 12 'I know how to be abased, and I know 
 how to abound: every where and in all 
 things I am instructed both to be full and 
 to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer 
 need. 
 
 13 I can do all things r through Christ 
 who strengtheneth me. 
 
 14 Yet ye have done well in 'communi- 
 cating to me in my affliction. 
 
 15 And ye yourselves, Philippians, know 
 
 147 
 
The liberality of the Fhilippians. 
 
 that in the beginning of the gospel, when 
 I departed from Macedonia, 'no church 
 communicated with me as to giving and 
 receiving, but ye only. 
 
 16 For even in Thessalonica ye sent once 
 and again to my necessity. 
 
 17 Not that I desire a gift : but I desire 
 "fruit that may abound to your account. 
 
 18 But ||I have all, and abound: I am 
 full, having received "from Epaphroditus 
 your gift, ^an odour of a sweet smell, z a 
 sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God. 
 
 19 But my God "will supply all your need

 1 After salutation, he thanketh God for their faith, 
 7 confirmeth the doctrine of Epaphras, 9 prayeth 
 further for their increase in grace, 14 describeth 
 the true Christ, 21 encourageth them to receive

 Jeace, from God our Father and the Lord

 3 d We give thanks to God, and the Fa- 
 ther of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying 
 always for you, 
 
 4 'Having heard of your faith in Christ 
 Jesus, and of 'your love to all the saints,

 in heaven, whereof ye formerly heard in 
 the word of the truth of the gospel : 
 
 6 "Which is come to you, "as to all the 
 world; and 'beareth fruit, as also among 
 you, since the day ye heard it, and knew 
 *the grace of God in truth : 
 
 7 As also ye learned from 'Epaphras our 
 dear fellow-servant, who is for you m a 
 faithful minister of Christ; 
 
 8 Who also made known to us your "love 
 in the Spirit. 
 
 9 "For this reason we also, since the day 
 we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, 
 and to ask p that ye may be filled with 'the 
 knowledge of his will r in all wisdom and 
 spiritual understanding ; 
 
 10 'That ye may walk worthily of the 
 Lord 'to all pleasing, 1 being fruitful in 
 every good work, and increasing in the 
 knowledge of God ; 
 
 11 "Strengthened with all might, accord- 
 ing to his glorious power, ^to all patience 
 and long-suffering *with joy ;

 made us meet to share 'the inheritance of 
 the saints in light : 
 
 13 Who hath delivered us from 'the power 
 of darkness, ''and hath transferred us into 
 the kingdom of this dear Son : 
 
 14 'In whom we have redemption through 
 his blood, even the forgiveness of sins : 
 
 15 Who is 'the image of the invisible 
 God, ff the first-born of every creature : 
 
 16 For ''by him were all things created,

 invisible, whether thrones, or 'dominions,

 were created *by him, and for him :

 16 Let no one therefore 'judge you || ff in 
 food, or in drink, or ||in respect "to feast, 
 or new-moon, or Sabbaths : 
 
 \7 'Which are a shadow of things to come; 
 but the body is of Christ. 
 
 18 "Let no one Hbeguile you of your re- 
 ward, who delighteth in an affected humi- 
 lity and worshipping of angels, who in- 
 trudeth into things 'which he hath not 
 seen, being vainly puffed up by his fleshly 
 mind, 
 
 19 And not holding to m the Head, from 
 which all the body, supported and knit to- 
 gether by its joints and bands, increaseth 
 with the increase of God. 
 
 20 If then ye are "dead with Christ from 
 "the Helements of the world, p why as though 
 living in the world, do ye submit to the 
 directions, 
 
 21 'Touch not, taste not, handle not? 
 
 22 (All which will bring destruction by 
 its use, being 'according to the commands 
 and doctrines of men :) 
 
 23 'Which have indeed a shew of wisdom 
 by a 'voluntary worship, and affected hu- 
 mility, and Hseverity toward the body, 
 without yielding it any honour so as to 
 supply the wants of the flesh.

 exhorteth to mortification, \0to put off the old man,

 4 "When Christ, 'our life, Hshall appear, 
 then shall ye also ||appear with him*in glory. 
 
 5 "Mortify therefore 'your members which 
 are on the earth; "fornication, uncleanness, 
 passion, 'wicked desire, and covetousness, 
 "which is idolatry : 
 
 6 "On account of which things the wrath 
 of God cometh on "the sons of disobe- 
 dience : 
 
 7 p In which ye also once walked, when 
 ye lived in them. 
 
 8 'But now do ye also put off" all these ;

 guage from your mouth. 
 
 9 'Lie not to one another, 'putting oft' the

 11 Where there is neither "Greek nor 
 Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, 
 Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free : "but

 THESSALONIANS. 
 
 CHAPTER I. 
 
 1 The Thessalonians are given to understand both 
 how mindful of them Paul was at all times in 
 thanksgiving, and prayer : 5 and also how well he 
 was persuaded of the truth and sincerity of their 
 faith, and conversion to God. 
 
 PAUL, and "Silvanus, and Timothy, to 
 the church of the Thessalonians in 
 God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ: 
 *Grace be to you, and peace, from God our 
 Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 
 
 2 'We give thanks to God always for you 
 all, making mention of you in our prayers ; 
 
 3 "Remembering without ceasing 'your 
 work of faith, / ancl labour of love, and pa- 
 tience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, 
 in the sight of God and our Father; 
 
 4 Knowing, brethren beloved of God, 
 *your election, 
 
 5 That ft our gospel came not to you in 
 word only, but also in power, and 'in the 
 Holy Spirit, *and in much assurance; as 
 'ye know what sort of men we were among 
 you for your sake. 
 
 6 And m ye became followers of us, and of 
 the Lord, receiving the word amidst much 
 affliction, "with joy through the Holy Spirit: 
 
 7 So that ye became examples to all who 
 believe in Macedonia and Achaia. 
 
 8 For from you hath "sounded forth the 
 word of the Lord not only in Macedonia 
 and Achaia, but also p in every place your 
 faith towards God is spread abroad ; so that 
 we need not to say any thing. 
 
 9 For they themselves report of us 'what 
 sort of entrance we had to you, r and how 
 ye turned to God from idols, to serve the 
 living and true God ;

 CHAPTER II. 
 
 1 In what manner the gospel was brought andpreach- 
 ed to the Thessalonians, and in what manner also 
 they received it. 184 reason is rendered both why 
 Paul was so long absent from them, and also why 
 he was so desirous to see them. 
 
 FOR "yourselves, brethren, know that 
 our entrance to you was not in vain : 
 
 2 But even though we had before endured 
 suffering and violence, as ye know, at 'Phi- 
 lippi, 'we had confidence in our God "to 
 speak to you the gospel of God ' f| with 
 much earnest effort. 
 
 3 ■''For our instruction is not from deceit, 
 nor from impurity, nor in guile ; 
 
 4 But as E we have been approved by God 
 so as Ho be entrusted with the gospel, so 
 we speak ; 'not as pleasing men, but God, 
 *who proveth our hearts. 
 
 5 For 'never have we used flattering 
 words, as ye know, nor a cloak of covet- 
 ousness ; ( m God is my witness !) 
 
 6 "Nor have we sought glory from men, 
 either from you, or from others, when "we 
 might have |]been r burdensome, 'as apos- 
 tles of Christ; 
 
 7 But 'we were gentle among you. As a 
 nurse cherisheth her children, 
 
 8 So, having a strong affection for you, we 
 were ready 'to impart to you, not only the 
 gospel of God, but even 'our own souls, 
 because ye were dear to us. 
 
 9 For ye remember, brethren, our labour 
 and toil : for "\vorking night and day, x in 
 order not to burden any of you, we preach- 
 ed to you the gospel of God. 
 
 10 "Ye are witnesses, and God also, z how 
 holily, and justly, and unblamably we 
 
PauPs care for the Thessalonians 
 
 CHAPTERS III. IV. 
 
 behaved ourselves among you who be- 
 lieve : 
 
 11 As ye know how we exhorted, and 
 encouraged, and solemnly warned each 
 one of you, as a father his children, 
 
 12 "To walk worthily of God, 4 who called 
 you to his kingdom and glory. 
 
 13 Therefore we also give thanks to God 
 'unceasingly, that receiving the word of 
 God which ye heard from us, ye embraced 
 it d not as the word of men, but (as it is in 
 truth) the word of God, which also work- 
 eth effectually in you who believe. 
 
 14 For ye, brethren, became followers 
 "of the churches of God which in Judea 
 are in Christ Jesus, since 'ye also have 
 suffered the same things from your own 
 countrymen, f as they have from the Jews: 
 
 15 "Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and 
 '"their own prophets, and have Hpersecuted 
 us ; who please not God, *and are opposed 
 to all men: 
 
 16 'Hindering us from speaking to the 
 Gentiles that they may be saved, that they 
 may m fill up their sins always: "for the 
 wrath is come upon them to the uttermost. 
 
 17 But we, brethren, being separated from 
 you for a short time "in presence, not in 
 heart, have earnestly endeavoured p to see 
 your face with great desire. 
 
 18 Wherefore we wished to come to you, 
 namely, I Paul, once and again ; but 'Satan 
 hindered us. 
 
 19 For 'what is our hope, or joy, or 'crown 
 of Hrejoicing ? Are not even ye in the pre- 
 sence of our Lord Jesus Christ 'at his 
 coming? 
 
 20 For ye are our glory and joy. 
 
 CHAPTER III. 
 
 1 Paul testifieth his great love to the Thessalonians, 
 partly by sending Timothy to them to strengthen 
 and comfort them: partly by rejoicing in their 
 well-doing: 10 and partly by praying for them, 
 and desiring a safe coming to them. 
 
 "WHEREFORE, "when we could 
 
 no 
 
 *" longer forbear, *we chose rather to 
 be left at Athens alone ; 
 
 2 And sent 'Timothy, our brother, and 
 minister of God, and our fellow-labourer 
 in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, 
 and to admonish you concerning your 
 faith, 
 
 3 fThat no one should be shaken by these 
 afflictions: for yourselves know that for 
 this 'we are appointed. 
 
 4 'For even when we were with you, we 
 told you before that we were to suffer afflic- 
 tion ; as it also happened, and ye know. 
 
 5 For this reason, *when 1 could no 
 longer forbear, I sent to know your faith, 
 ft lest by some means the tempter had 
 tempted you, and 'our labour might" be in 
 vain. 
 
 6 *But now, when Timothy came from 
 you to us, and brought us good tidings of 
 your faith and love, and that ye have al- 
 ways good remembrance of us, desiring 
 greatly to see us, ! as we also to see you : 
 
 7 Therefore, brethren, m we were consoled 
 over you in all our affliction and distress 
 by your faith : 
 
 8 For now we live, if ye "stand fast in 
 the Lord. 
 
 9 "For what thanks can we render to God 
 for you, for all the joy wherewith we re- 
 joice for your sakes before our God ;

 Exhortation to godliness.

 'that we may see your face, 'and perlect 
 what is lacking in your faith ? 
 
 11 Now God himself and our Father, 
 and our Lord Jesus Christ, || 'direct our 
 way to you. 
 
 12 And the Lord "make you to increase 
 and abound in love 'towards one another, 
 and towards all men, even as we do toward 
 you: 
 
 13 That he may "establish your hearts 
 unblamable in holiness before God, even 
 our Father, at the coming of our Lord 
 Jesus Christ *with all his saints. 
 
 CHAPTER IV. 
 
 1 He exhorteth them to go on forward in all manner 
 of godliness, 6 to live holily and justly, 9 to love 
 one another, 1 1 and quietly to follow their own 
 business: 13 and last of all to sorrow moderately 
 for the dead. 17 And to this last exhortation is 
 annexed a brief description of the resurrection, 
 and second coming of Christ to judgment. 
 
 FURTHERMORE then we || beseech 
 you, brethren, and ||exhort you by the 
 Lord Jesus, "that as ye have received of 
 us 'how ye ought to walk 'and to please 
 God, so ye would abound more and more. 
 
 2 For ye know what commands we gave 
 you by the Lord Jesus. 
 
 3 For this is ''the will of God, even 'your 
 purity, 'that ye should abstain from forni- 
 cation : 
 
 4 s That each of you should know how to 
 possess his vessel in purity and honour; 
 
 5 A Not in lustful passion, 'like the Gen- 
 tiles *that know not God : 
 
 6 'That none transgress and ||defraud his 
 brother ||in any matter : because the Lord 
 m is the punisher of all such, as we also 
 have forewarned you and testified. 
 
 7 For God hath not called us to unclean- 
 ness, "but to purity. 
 
 8 "He therefore who rejecteth, rejecteth 
 not man, but God 'who hath also given to 
 us his Holy Spirit. 
 
 9 But concerning brotherly love ? ye need 
 not that I write to you : for r ye yourselves 
 are taught of God 'to love one another. 
 
 10 'And indeed ye do it towards all the 
 brethren who are in all Macedonia: but 
 we beseech you, brethren, "to abound more 
 and more ; 
 
 11 And to study to be quiet, and *to do 
 your own business, and *to work with your 
 own hands, as we commanded you ; 
 
 12 *That ye may walk becomingly toward 
 those without, and that ye may have lack 
 ||of nothing. 
 
 13 But I would not have you ignorant, 
 brethren, concerning those who have fallen 
 asleep, that ye may not sorrow "like others 
 'who have no hope. 
 
 14 For 'if we believe that Jesus died and 
 rose again, so d ||those also who sleep ill 
 Jesus will God bring with him. 
 
 15 For this we say to you 'by the word 
 of the Lord, that 'we who are alive and 
 remain to the coming of the Lord shall not 
 go before those who sleep. 
 
 16 For g the Lord himself will descend 
 from heaven with a shout, with the voice 
 of the archangel, and with "the trump of 
 God : 'and the dead in Christ will first 
 arise : 
 
 17 Then we who are alive and remain 
 shall be caught up together with them 'in 
 
 151 
 
Paul concludeth with 
 
 I. THESSALONIANS. 
 
 various exhortations 
 
 the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air : 
 and so we m shall ever be with the Lord. 
 
 18 "Wherefore, ||console one another with 
 these words. 
 
 CHAPTER V. 
 
 I He proceedeth in the former description of Christ's 
 coming to judgment, 16 andgivetk divers precepts, 
 23 and so concludeth the epistle. 
 
 BUT of "the times and the seasons, bre- 
 thren, *ye have no need that I write 
 to you. 
 
 2 For yourselves know perfectly, that 
 'the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief 
 in the night. 
 
 3 For when they shall say, Peace and 
 safety; then d sudaen destruction cometh 
 upon them, e as her pangs on a woman with 
 child ; and they shall not escape. 
 
 4 'But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, 
 that that day should overtake you as a 
 thief. 
 
 5 Ye are all e sons of light, and sons of 
 the day : Ave are not of the night, nor of 
 darkness. 
 
 6 "Therefore let us not sleep, as do others ; 
 but 'let us watch and be sober. 
 
 7 For *those who sleep, sleep in the night; 
 and those who are drunken, 'are drunken 
 in the night. 
 
 8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, 
 "■putting on the breast-plate of faith and 
 love ; and for an helmet, the hope of sal- 
 vation. 
 
 9 For "God hath not appointed us to 
 wrath, "but to obtain salvation by our Lord 
 Jesus Christ, 
 
 10 p Who died for us, that, whether we 
 wake or sleep, we should live together 
 with him. 
 
 11 'Wherefore, || console one another, and 
 edify one another, as also ye do.

 IT THE SECOND EPISTLE OF PAUL, THE APOSTLE, TO THE 
 
 THESSALONIANS. 
 
 CHAPTER I. 
 
 1 Paul certifieth them of the good opinion which he 
 had of their faith, love, and patience .-11 and 
 therewithal useth divers reasons for the comfort- 
 ing of them in persecution, whereof the chief est is 
 taken from the righteous judgment of God. 
 
 PAUL, "and Silvanus, and Timothy, to 
 the church of the Thessalonians 'in 
 God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ : 
 
 2 'Grace to you, and peace, from God our 
 Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 
 
 3 d We are bound to thank God always 
 for you, brethren, as it is meet, because 
 
 four faith groweth exceedingly, and the 
 ove of each one of you all towards one an- 
 other aboundeth ; 
 
 4 So that 'we ourselves glory in you among 
 the churches of God, 'for your patience 
 and faith e \i\ all your persecutions and af- 
 flictions, which ye endure : 
 
 5 *A manifest token of the righteous 
 judgment of God, that ye may be counted 
 worthy of the kingdom of God, 'for which 
 ye also suffer: 
 
 6 *Since it is a righteous thing with God 
 to recompense affliction to those who af- 
 flict you. 
 
 7 And to you, who are afflicted, 'rest with

 those "who know not God, and p who obey 
 not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ :

 ing destruction from the presence of the 
 Lord, and r from the glory of his power ; 
 
 10 'When he shall come to be glorified 
 in his saints, 'and to be admired in all 
 those who believe (because our testimony 
 among you was believed) in that day. 
 
 11 Wherefore also we pray always for 
 you, that our God may ||"deem you worthy 
 of this calling, and accomplish all the good 
 pleasure of his kindness, and 'the work of 
 faith with power : 
 
 12 "That the name of our Lord Jesus 
 Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in 
 him, according to the grace of our God, 
 and the Lord Jesus Chnst. 
 
 CHAPTER II. 
 
 1 He willeth them to eVhtinue steadfast in the truth 
 received, 3 sheweth that there shall be a departure 
 from the faith, 9 and a discovery of antichrist, be- 
 fore the day of the Lord come. 15 And thereupon 
 repeateth his former exhortation, and prayeth fn* 
 them. 
 
Paul exhorteth to steadfastness, 
 
 AND we beseech you, brethren, "respect 
 ing the coming of our Lord Jesus 
 Christ, 'and our gathering together to him, 
 
 2 "That ye be not hastily shaken in mind, 
 or troubled, either by spirit, or by ||word, 
 or by letter as from us, as that the day of 
 Christ is at hand. 
 
 3 d Let no one deceive you by any means : 
 for that day will not come, 'until there 
 come first the falling away, and 'the man 
 of sin is revealed, ? the son of perdition, 
 
 4 "Who opposeth and *exalteth himself 
 'against all that is called God, or that is 
 worshipped: so that he sitteth as God, in 
 the temple of God, declaring himself to be 
 God. 
 
 5 Remember ye not, that when I was yet 
 with you, I told you this ? 
 
 6 And now ye know what ||withholdeth 
 till he shall be revealed in his time. 
 
 7 For *the secret wickedness doth already 
 work : only he who now withholdeth will 
 ■withhold, until he be removed. 
 
 8 And then will the Wicked one be 
 revealed, 'whom the Lord will consume 
 '"with the breath of his mouth, and destroy 
 "with the brightness of his coming : 
 
 9 Even him, whose coming is, "through 
 the working of Satan, with all power, and 
 ''signs, and lying wonders, 
 
 10 And with all unrighteous deceit among 
 'those who perish; because they embraced 
 not the love of the truth, that they might 
 be saved. 
 
 11 And 'for this cause God will send upon 
 them strong delusion, 'that they may be- 
 lieve the lie : 
 
 12 That all may be condemned who be- 
 lieved not the truth, but 'had pleasure in 
 unrighteousness. 
 
 13 But "we are bound always to give 
 thanks to God for you, brethren beloved 
 by the Lord, because God *hath 'from the 
 beginning chosen you to salvation, 'through 
 sanctification of the Spirit, and belief of 
 the truth : 
 
 14 To which he called you by our gospel, 
 to "the obtaining of the glory of our Lord 
 Jesus Christ. 
 
 15 Therefore, brethren, 'stand fast, and 
 hold c the doctrines which ye have been 
 taught, whether by our word, or epistle. 
 
 16 d Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, 
 and God, even our Father, 'who hath loved 
 us, and hath given us everlasting consola- 
 tion and 'good hope through grace, 
 
 17 Encourage your hearts, s and establish 
 you in every good word and work.

 FINALLY, brethren, "pray for us, that 
 the word of the Lord tmay have free 
 course, and be glorified, as also it is with 
 you; 
 
 2 And 'that we may be delivered from 
 tunreasonable and wicked men: 'for all 
 men have not faith. 
 
 3 But ''the Lord is faithful, who will es- 
 tablish you, and 'keep you from evil. 
 
 4 And 'we have confidence in the Lord 
 concerning you, that ye both do and will 
 do that which we command you. 
 
 5 And f the Lord direct your hearts into 
 the love of God, and into the patience of 
 Christ. 
 
 6 And we command you, brethren, in the 
 name of our Lord Jesus Christ, *to with- 
 draw yourselves 'from every brother that 
 walketh 'disorderly, and not according to 
 'the instructions which he received from us. 
 
 7 For yourselves know m how ye ought to 
 imitate us: for "we acted not disorderly 
 among you, 
 
 8 Nor ate any man's bread for nought ; 
 but "wrought with labour and toil night 
 and day, that we might not burden any of 
 you : 
 
 9 ''Not that we have not the right, but to 
 make 'ourselves an example to you, that ye 
 should imitate us. 
 
 10 For even when we were with you, we 
 gave you this command, r If any will not 
 work, neither let him eat. 
 
 11 For we hear that some 'walk among 
 you disorderly, 'who work not at all, but 
 are busybodies. 
 
 12 "Now such we command and exhort 
 by our Lord Jesus Christ, x that, working 
 with quietness, they eat their own bread. 
 
 13 But ye, brethren, »||be not weary in 
 well-doing. 
 
 14 And if any one obey not our word ||by 
 this epistle, note that man, and 'have no 
 intercourse with him, that he may be 
 ashamed. 
 
 15 "Yet regard him not as an enemy, 'but 
 admonish him as a brother. 
 
 16 Now 'the Lord of peace himself give 
 you peace always in every way. The Lord 
 be with you all.

 thou mightest command some 'to teach no 
 other doctrine, 
 
 4 'Nor to give heed to fables and endless 
 genealogies, 'which produce disputes, ra- 
 ther than godly edifying in faith; so 
 do. 
 
 153 
 
The right use and end of the law. 
 
 5 But 'the end of the command is love 
 m from a pure heart, and a good conscience, 
 and faith unfeigned : 
 
 6 From which some || having swerved, 
 have turned aside to "empty talking ; 
 
 7 Desiring to be teachers of the law; 
 "understanding neither what they say, nor 
 whereof they affirm. 
 
 8 But we know that 'the law is good, if 
 a man use it lawfully ; 
 
 9 'Knowing this, that the law is not made 
 for a righteous man, but for the lawless 
 and disobedient, for the ungodly and sin- 
 ful, for the unholy and protane, for mur- 
 derers of fathers, and murderers of mo- 
 thers, for manslayers, 
 
 10 For fornicators, for sodomites, for 
 men-stealers, for liars, for false swearers, 
 and whatever else is opposed r to sound 
 doctrine, 
 
 11 According to the glorious gospel of 
 'the blessed God, with 'which I was en- 
 trusted. 
 
 12 And I thank him "who gave me 
 strength, Christ Jesus our Lord, "that he 
 counted me faithful, "putting me into the 
 ministry ; 
 
 13 "Who was before a reviler, and a per- 
 secutor, and a violent abuser: but I ob- 
 tained mercy, because a I did it ignorantly 
 in unbelief: 
 
 14 'And the grace of our Lord abounded 
 exceedingly c in my faith d and love in Christ 
 Jesus. 
 
 15 'This is a faithful saying, and worthy 
 of all reception, that -fChrist Jesus came 
 into the world to save sinners ; of whom I 
 am chief. 
 
 16 But for this cause S I obtained mercy, 
 that in me first Jesus Christ might shew 
 forth all long-suffering, 'for a pattern to 
 those who should hereafter believe on him 
 to life everlasting. 
 
 17 Now to 'the King eternal, 'immortal, 
 'invisible, "the only wise God, "be honour 
 and glory for ever and ever ! Amen. 
 
 18 This charge "I commit to thee, son 
 Timothy, 'according to the || prophecies 
 which went before concerning thee, that 
 thou through them shouldst 'wage the noble 
 warfare ; 
 
 19 Holding faith and a good conscience; 
 which some having thrust away, 'have 
 made shipwreck of the faith : 
 
 20 Of whom are 'Hymeneus and "Alex- 
 ander ; whom I have "delivered to Satan, 
 that they may learn not to "revile.

 Of overseers and deacons 
 
 6 'Who gave himself a ransom for all; 
 'which was to be ||made known 'in due 
 time; 
 
 7 m For which I am appointed a preacher 
 and an apostle, ("I speak the truth in 
 Christ, I he not !) "a teacher of the Gen- 
 tiles in faith and truth. 
 
 8 I will therefore that the men pray 'every 
 where, 'lifting up holy hands, without 
 wrath and disputing. 
 
 9 In like manner also, that the 'women 
 adorn themselves in becoming apparel, with 
 modesty and sobriety; not with Ubraided 
 hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly attire, 
 
 10 'But (which becometh women profess- 
 ing godliness) with good works. 
 
 11 Let the woman learn in quietness with 
 all subjection. 
 
 12 But 'I suffer not a woman to teach, 
 "or to have authority over the man, but to 
 keep quiet. 
 
 13 For "Adam was first formed, then Eve. 
 
 14 And "Adam was not deceived, but the 
 woman being deceived fell into transgres- 
 sion. 
 
 15 But she will be saved ||in child-bear- 
 ing, if tshe continue in faith, and love, and 
 holiness, with sobriety. 
 
 ' CHAPTER III. 
 
 2 How overseers, and deacons, and their wives should 
 be qualified, 14 and to what end Saint Paul wrote 
 to Timothy of these things. 15 Of the church, and 
 the blessed truth therein taught and professed. 
 
 THIS "is a true saying, If a man desire 
 the oversight of a b church, he desireth 
 an excellent c work. 
 
 2 d An overseer then must be blameless, 
 'the husband of one wife, watchful, sober, 
 orderly, hospitable, /instructive ; 
 
 3 *||No tippler ,'no striker/no lover of base 
 & ain; but 'gentle, peaceful, Hgenerous, 
 
 4 One that ruleth well Lis own house, 
 having his children in subjection with all 
 gravity ; _ 
 
 5 (For if a man know not how to rule his 
 own house, how will he take care of the 
 church of God?) 
 
 6 Not newly converted, lest being lifted 
 up with pride m he fall into the condemna- 
 tion of the devil. 
 
 7 Moreover, he must have a good report 
 "from those without ; lest he fall into re- 
 proach "and the snare of the devil. 
 
 8 So also must 'the deacons be grave, not 
 double-tongued, 'not given to much wine, 
 not lovers of base gain ; 
 
 9 'Holding the secret of the faith in a 
 pure conscience. 
 
 10 And let these also first be proved ; 
 then let them serve as deacons, being found 
 blameless. 
 
 11 'So also must their wives be grave, not 
 slanderers, watchful, faithful in all things. 
 
 12 Let the deacons be husbands of one 
 wife, ruling well their children and their 
 own houses. 
 
 13 For 'those who have served well as 
 deacons, obtain for themselves an honour- 
 able station, and great boldness in the faith 
 which is in Christ Jesus. 
 
 14 These things I write to thee, hoping 
 to come to thee* shortly : 
 
 15 But if I delay, that thou mayest know 
 how thou oughtest to conduct "in the house 
 of God, which is the church of the living 
 God, the pillar and ||support of the truth. 
 
Paul's advice to Timothy. 
 
 16 And confessedly great is the secret 
 of godliness: x God was manifested in the 
 flesli, "justified in the Spirit, 'seen by an- 
 
 f;els, "preached among the Gentiles, 'be- 
 ieved on in the world, 'received up into 
 glory. 
 
 CHAPTER IV. 
 
 1 He foretelleth that in the latter times there shall be 
 a departure from the faith. 6 And to the end that 
 Timothy might not fail in doing his duty, hefur- 
 nisheth him with divers precepts belonging thereto. 
 
 NOW the Spirit "saith expressly, that 'in 
 the latter times some will depart from 
 the faith, giving heed c to seducing spirits, 
 d and doctrines of demons } 
 
 2 'Speaking lies in hypocrisy, 'having their 
 conscience seared with a hot iron ; 
 
 3 ^Forbidding to marry, ''and command- 
 ing to abstain from food, which God hath 
 created 'to be received *with thanksgiving 
 by those who believe and know the truth. 
 
 4 For 'every thing created by God is good, 
 and nothing to be refused, if it be received 
 with thanksgiving : 
 
 5 For it is sanctified by the word of God, 
 and prayer. 
 
 6 It thou admonish the brethren of these 
 things, thou wilt be a good minister of Je- 
 sus Christ, '"nourished up in the words of 
 faith and of good doctrine, to which thou 
 hast attained. 
 
 7 But "reject profane and old womens' 
 fables, and "train thyself rather to godliness. 
 
 8 For ^bodily training profiteth ||little: 
 'but godliness is profitable for all things, 
 "having promise of the life that now is, and 
 of that which is to come. 
 
 9 'This is a true saying, and worthy of all 
 acceptance. 
 
 10 For therefore 'we both labour and suf- 
 fer reproach, because we "trust in the living 
 God *who is the Saviour of all men, espe- 
 cially of those who believe. 
 
 11 "These things command and teach. 
 
 12 r Let none despise thy youth ; but "be 
 an example to the believers, in word, in 
 conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity. 
 
 13 Till I come, attend to reading, to ex- 
 hortation, to instruction. 
 
 14 'Neglect not the gift that is in thee, 
 which was given thee 'by prophecy, ''with 
 the laying on of the hands of the elders. 
 
 15 Practise these things; give thyself 
 wholly to them ; that thy progress may be 
 manifest ||to all. 
 
 16 'Take heed to thyself, and to thy teach- 
 ing ; continue in them : for in doing this 
 thou wilt both 'save thyself, and f those who 
 hear thee. 
 
 CHAPTER V. 
 
 1 Rules to be observed in reproving. 3 Of widows. 
 17 Of elders. 23 A precept for Timothy's health. 
 24 Some men's sins go before judgment, and some 
 men's follow after. 
 
 REBUKE "not an aged man, but entreat 
 him as a father; and the younger men 
 as brethren ; 
 
 2 The elder women as mothers; the 
 younger as sisters, with all purity. 
 
 3 Honour widows 'who are truly widows. 
 
 4 But if any widow have children or 
 llgrand-children, let them learn first to 
 shew !i piety to their own family, and 'to 
 requite their parents: d for this is good and 
 acceptable before God. 
 
 5 'Now she who is truly a widow and

 "lodged strangers, if she have ^washed the 
 saints' feet, if she have relieved the af- 
 flicted, if she have diligently followed every 
 good work.

 when they have grown wanton against 
 Christ, they wish to marry ; 
 
 12 Having condemnation, because they 
 have violated their former Upromise.

 dows marry, bear children, guide the house,

 1 Of the duty of servants. 3 Not to have fellowship 
 with new-fangled teachers. 6 Godliness is great 
 gain, 10 and love of money the root of all evil. 
 11 What Timothy is to fly, and what to follow, 
 17 and whereof to admonish the rich. 20 To keep 
 the purity of true doctrine, and to avoid profane 
 babblings. 
 
 LET as many as are "servants under the 
 yoke consider their own masters worthy 
 
 155 
 
Covetousness reproved. 
 
 of all honour, 'that the name of God and 
 his doctrine be not reviled. 
 
 2 And those who have believing masters, 
 let them not despise them, 'because they 
 are brethren ; but rather do them service, 
 because they are || faithful and beloved, 
 partakers ot the divine benefit. d These 
 things teach and exhort. 
 
 3 If any one c teach otherwise, and assent 
 ' not to the sound words of our Lord Jesus 
 Christ, ? and to the instruction which is 
 according to godliness, 
 
 4 He is Hpuffed up with pride, ^knowing 
 nothing, but hath a sickly fondness for 'dis- 
 putes and strifes about words, from which 
 spring envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, 
 
 5 * || Idle employments of 'men of corrupt 
 minds, and destitute of the truth, m who 
 suppose that gain is godliness : "from such 
 withdraw thyself. 
 
 6 But "godliness with contentment is 
 great gain. 
 
 7 For p we brought nothing into the world, 
 and it is certain we can carry nothing out. 
 
 8 And 'having food and raiment, let us 
 be therewith content. 
 
 9 But 'those who will be rich, fall into 
 temptation, 'and a snare, and into many 
 foolish and hurtful desires, 'which plunge 
 men into destruction and perdition. 
 
 10 "For covetousness is the root of all 
 evil : which some indulging; have been 
 seduced from the faith, and pierced them- 
 selves through with many sorrows. 
 
 11 *But thou, vO man of God, flee these 
 things; and pursue righteousness, godli- 
 ness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

 hold on eternal life, for which thou art also 
 called, 'and hast made thy noble acknow- 
 ledgment before many witnesses. 
 
 13 "I give thee charge before God, ''who 
 giveth life to all things, and Christ Jesus, 
 •who before Pontius Pilate made his noble 
 acknowledgment; 
 
 14 That thou keep this command without 
 spot, unrebukable, 'until the appearing of 
 our Lord Jesus Christ; 
 
 15 Which in his own time he will mani- 
 fest, who is *the blessed and only Potentate, 
 A the King of kings, and Lord of lords ;

 in light unapproachable: *whom no man 
 hath seen, or can see; 'to whom be honour 
 and power everlasting. Amen. 
 
 17 Charge the rich in this world, that 
 they be not high-minded, m nor trust in 
 t n uncertain riches, but in "the living God, 
 'who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; 
 
 18 That they do good, that 'they be rich 
 in good works, 'ready to distribute, || 'will- 
 ing to communicate ; 
 
 19 'Laying up treasures for themselves 
 as a good foundation for the future, that 
 they may "lay hold on eternal life. 
 
 20 O Timothy, "keep what is committed 
 to thy trust, "avoiding those profane and 
 empty babblings, and oppositions of science 
 falsely so called ; 
 
 21 Which some professing, *have erred 
 concerning the faith. Grace be with thee.

 T THE SECOND EPISTLE OF PAUL, THE APOSTLE, TO 
 
 TIMOTHY. 
 
 CHAPTER I. 
 
 I Paul's love to Timothy, and the unfeigned faith 
 which was in Timothy himself, his mother, and 
 grandmother. 6 He is exhorted to stir up the gift 
 of God which was in him, 8 to be steadfast, and 
 patient in persecution, 13 and to persist in the 
 form and truth of that doctrine which he had 
 learned of him. 15 Phygellus and Hermogenes, 
 and such like, are noted, and Onesiphorus is high- 
 ly commended. 
 
 PAUL, "an apostle' of Jesus Christ by 
 the will of God, according to *the pro- 
 mise of life in Christ Jesus, 
 
 2 c To Timothy, my beloved son : Grace, 
 mercy, and peace, from God the Father 
 and Christ Jesus our Lord. 
 
 3 d I thank God, 'whom I serve from my 
 forefathers with pure conscience, that I 
 have 'unceasing remembrance of thee in 
 my prayers night and day; 
 
 4 ^Greatly desiring to see thee, (remem- 
 bering thy tears,) that I may be filled with 
 
 i°y> 
 
 5 Calling to remembrance "the unfeigned 
 faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in 
 thy grandmother Lois, and "thy mother 
 Eunice ; and I am persuaded in thee also. 
 
 6 Wherefore I remind thee, Hhat thou 
 stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by 
 the putting on of my hands.

 Timothy exhorted to constancy, Sfc. CHAPTERS II. III. IV. 
 
 16 The Lord p grant mercy to 'the house 
 of Onesiphorus ; tor he often refreshed 
 me, and 'was not ashamed of 'my chain : 
 
 17 But, when he was in Rome, he very 
 diligently sought and found me. 
 
 18 (The Lord grant "that he may find 
 mercy from the Lord x in that day !) and 
 what "services he rendered me at Ephesus, 
 thou knowest very well. 
 
 CHAPTER II. 
 
 1 He is exhorted again to constancy and persever- 
 ance, and to do the duty of a faithful serva?it of 
 the Lord in dividing the word aright, and staying 
 profane babbli?igs. 17 Of Hymeneus and Phile- 
 tus. 19 The foundation of the Lord is sure. 22 He 
 is taught whereof to beware, and what to follow 
 after, and i?i what manner the servant of the Lord 
 ought to behave himself. 
 
 THOU therefore, "my son, 'be strong in 
 the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 
 
 2 'And what thou hast heard from me 
 Ijamong many witnesses, d this commit to 
 faithful men, who will be 'able to teach 
 others also. 
 
 3 'Do thou therefore endure suffering, ? as 
 a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 
 
 4 A No one who warreth entangleth him- 
 self with the business of life ; that he may 
 please his commander. 
 
 5 And 'if a man contend in the games, he 
 is not crowned, unless he contend lawfully. 
 
 6 'The husbandman who would partake 
 of the fruits, must first labour. 
 
 7 Understand what I say ; and the Lord 
 give thee understanding in all things. 
 
 8 Remember that Jesus Christ, 'of the 
 seed of David, "'was raised from the dead, 
 "according to my gospel : 
 
 9 "Wherein I sufter as an evil-doer, p even 
 to bonds; 'but the word of God is not 
 bound. 
 
 10 Therefore r I endure all things for the 
 elect's sake, 'that they may also obtain the 
 salvation which is in Christ Jesus with 
 eternal glory. 
 
 11 'It is a true saying: "If we be dead 
 with him, we shall also live with him : 
 
 12 *If we persevere, we shall also reign 
 with him : "if we deny him, he also will 
 deny us : 
 
 13 r If we are faithless, he remaineth faith- 
 ful : "he cannot deny himself. 
 
 14 Of these things put them in remem- 
 brance, 'charging them before the Lord 
 c not to strive about words ; which tendeth 
 to no profit, but to the subversion of the 
 hearers. 
 
 15 Strive to present thyself to God ap- 
 proved, a workman that needeth not to be 
 ashamed.handling rightly the word of truth. 
 
 16 But ''shun those profane and empty 
 babblings: for such men will go on to more 
 ungodliness. 
 
 17 And their word will eat like a ||canker: 
 of whom are 'Hymeneus and Philetus ; 
 
 18 Who 'have erred as to the truth, *say- 
 ing that the resurrection is past already ; 
 and overthrow the faith of some. 
 
 19 Nevertheless ''the foundation of God 
 standeth ||sure, having this seal, The Lord 
 'knoweth those who are his. And, Let 
 every one that nameth the name of Christ 
 depart from iniquity. 
 
 20 'But in a large house there are not 
 only vessels of gold and of silver, but also 
 of wood and of earth; 'and some for ho- 
 nour, and some for dishonour. 
 
 O 
 
 Paul prophesieth coming evil. 
 
 21 m If a man therefore cleanse himself 
 from these things, he will be a vessel for 
 honour, purified, and fit for the master's 
 use, and "prepared for every good work. 
 
 22 Flee also youthful lusts: but "follow 
 righteousness, taith, love, peace, with those 
 who p call on the Lord 'from a pure heart. 
 
 23 But shun those 'foolish and senseless 
 disputes, knowing that they beget strifes. 
 
 24 And 'the servant of the Lord must not 
 strive; but be gentle towards all, 'instruct- 
 ive, forbearing; 
 
 25 "In meekness admonishing those who 
 oppose themselves; ■ if perhaps God may 
 give them repentance y to the acknowledg- 
 ing of the truth, 
 
 26 And they may t recover themselves 
 'from the snare of the devil, having been 
 ttaken captive by him to do his will. 
 
 CHAPTER III. 
 
 1 He advertiseth him of the times to come, 6 describeth 
 the enemies of the truth, 10 propoundeth to him his 
 own example, 16 and commendeth the holy scrip- 
 tures. 
 
 THIS know also, that "in the last days 
 perilous times will come. 
 
 2 For men will be 'selfish, 'covetous, 
 ''boastful, 'proud, trailers, ^disobedient to 
 parents, unthankful, unholy, 
 
 3 ''Without natural affection, 'implacable, 
 slanderers, 'incontinent, fierce, haters of 
 the good, 
 
 4 'IVaitors, headstrong, puffed up, ""lovers 
 of pleasure more than lovers of God; 
 
 5 Having a form of godliness, but "deny- 
 ing its power : "from such turn away. 
 
 6 For ? such are those who enter into 
 houses, and lead captive silly women who 
 are laden with sins, led by various desires, 
 
 7 Ever learning and never able 'to come 
 to the knowledge of the truth. 
 
 8 r Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood 
 Moses, so also do these men withstand the 
 truth : "men of corrupt minds, ' ||reprobate 
 as to the faith. 
 
 9 But they shall proceed no further: for 
 their folly will be manifest to all, "as also 
 was theirs. 
 
 10 *But thou hast followed closely my 
 doctrine, conduct, purpose, faith, long- 
 suffering, love, patience, 
 
 11 Persecutions, sufferings, which befel 
 me "at Antioch, z at Iconium, "at Lystra; 
 what persecutions I endured: but 'from 
 all the Lord delivered me. 
 
 12 And indeed 'all who will live godly in 
 Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. 
 
 13 d But evil men and seducers will grow 
 worse and worse, deceiving, and deceived. 
 
 14 But 'continue thou in that which thou 
 hast learned and hast been assured of, 
 knowing from whom thou hast learned it; 
 
 15 And that from a child thou hast known 
 'the holy scriptures, which are able to 
 make thee wise to salvation through faith 
 in Christ Jesus. 
 
 16 e All scripture is inspired of God, "and 
 is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for 
 correction, for instruction in righteous- 
 ness: 
 
 17 'That the man of God may be perfect, 
 || 'thoroughly furnished for all good works. 
 
 CHAPTER IV. 
 
 1 He exhorteth him to do his duty with all care and 
 diligence, 6 ccrtifieth him of the nearness of his 
 death, 9 willeth him to come speedily to him, and 
 to bring Mark with him, and certain other things 
 
 157 
 
Paul's solemn charge to Timothy. 
 
 which he wrote for, 14 warning him to beware of 
 Alexander the smith, 16 informeth him what had 
 befallen him at his first defence, 19 and soon after 
 he concludeth. 
 
 I "CHARGE thee therefore before God, 
 and the Lord Jesus Christ, 'who will 
 judge the living and the dead at his ap- 
 pearing and his Kingdom ; 
 
 2 Preach the word ; apply thyself in sea- 
 son, out of season ; reprove, 'rebuke, ''ex- 
 hort with all long-suffering and teaching. 
 
 3 'For the time will come, when they 
 will not endure f sound doctrine; *but 
 having itching ears, they will heap to 
 themselves teachers suited to their own 
 desires ; 
 
 4 And they will turn away their ears 
 from the truth, and ''will turn themselves 
 to fables. 
 
 5 But do thou watch in all things, En- 
 dure suffering, do the work of *an evan- 
 gelist, Hmake full proof of thy ministry. 
 
 6 For 'I am now ready to be offered, and 
 the time of m my departure is at hand. 
 
 7 "I have fought the good fight, I have 
 finished my course, I have kept the faith : 
 
 8 Hencefoith there is laid up for ine "the 
 crown of righteousness, which the Lord, 
 the righteous Judge, will give me ^at that 
 day : and not to me only, but to all those 
 also who love his appearing. 
 
 9 Make haste to come to me shortly : 
 
 10 For 'Demas hath forsaken me, 'having 
 loved this present world, and is gone to 
 Thessalonica ; Crescens to Galatia, Titus 
 to Dalmatia. 
 
 11 'Only 'Luke is with me. Take "Mark,

 TFTHE EPISTLE OF PAUL TO TITUS. 
 
 CHAPTER I. 
 
 1 For what end Titus was left in Crete. 6 How they 
 that are to be chosen ministers ought to be quali- 
 fied. 1 1 The mouths of evil teachers to be stopped : 
 12 and what manner of men they be. 
 
 PAUL, a servant of God, and an apostle 
 of Jesus Christ, for promotin g the faith 
 of God's elect, and "the acknowledging of 
 the truth 'which leadeth to godliness ; 
 
 2 ||'In hope of eternal life, which God, 
 d who cannot lie, promised "before the world 
 began ; 
 
 3 'But hath in due time manifested his 
 word through the preaching ^which is com- 
 mitted to me, "according to the command 
 of God our Saviour; 
 
 4 To 'Titus 'my true son in 'the common 
 faith ; m Grace, mercy, and peace, from God 
 the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ our 
 Saviour. 
 
 5 For this cause I left thee in Crete, that 
 thou mightest "set in order that which ||re- 
 mained, and "appoint elders in every city, 
 as I had directed thee : 
 
 6 p If any be blameless, 9 the husband of 
 one wife, 'having believing children, who 
 are not accused of riot, or unruly. 
 
 7 For the overseer must be blameless, as 
 •a steward of God: not self-willed, not 
 soon angry, 'not a tippler, not a striker, 
 "not a lover of base gain ; 
 
 8 *But hospitable, a lover of llgood, sober, 
 just, holy, temperate ;

 talkers and 'deceivers, ^especially those of 
 the circumcision :

 subvert whole houses, teaching what they 
 ought not, -Tor the sake of base gain.

 their own, said, The Cretans are always 
 liars, evil beasts, ||slow bellies. 
 
 13 This testimony is true: "wherefore re- 
 prove them sharply, that they may be 'sound 
 in the faith ; 
 
 14 'Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and 
 'commands of men who pervert the truth. 
 
 15 m To the. pure all things are pure : but 
 "to the defiled and unbelieving nothing is 
 pure; but even their understanding and 
 conscience are defiled. 
 
 16 They profess that they know God ; but 
 "in works they deny him, being abominable, 
 and disobedient, ''and as to every good 
 work Hreprobate. 
 
 CHAPTER II. 
 
 1 Directions given unto Titus both for Jiis doctrine 
 ami life. 9 Of the duty of servants, and in gene- 
 ral of all Christies. 
 
 BUT do thou speak the things which 
 become "sound doctrine: 
 2 That the aged men be ||watchful, grave, 
 sober, 'sound in faith, in love, in pa- 
 tience ; 
 
Tliepure doctrine of the gospel. 
 
 3 'That the aged women likewise be in 
 behaviour asbecometh Uholiness; not slan- 
 derers, not slaves to wine, teachers of good 
 things ; 
 
 4 1 hat they may teach the young women 
 to be sober, ''to love their husbands, to love 
 their children, 
 
 5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, 
 good, 'obedient to their own husbands, 'that 
 the word of God be not reviled. 
 
 6 Young men likewise exhort to be flsober- 
 minded; 
 
 7 ^In all things shewing thyself a pattern 
 of good works : in doctrine shewing un- 
 corruptness, gravity, *sincerity, 
 
 8 'Sound speech that cannot be con- 
 demned; 'that the opposer 'maybe ashamed, 
 having nothing evil to say of you. 
 
 9 Exhort ""servants to be subject to their 
 own masters, and to please them well "in 
 all things ; not ||opposing them. 
 
 10 Not purloining, but shewing all good 
 fidelity; "that they may adorn the doc- 
 trine of God our Saviour in all tilings. 
 
 11 For 'the grace of God ||that bnngeth 
 salvation 'hath appeared to all men, 
 
 12 Teaching us, r thatdenying"ungodliness, 
 'and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, 
 righteously, and godly, in this present 
 world ; 
 
 13 'Looking for the blessed "hope, and 
 the glorious 'appearing of the great God 
 and our Saviour Jesus Christ; 
 
 14 y\Vho gave himself for us, that he 
 might redeem us from all iniquity, *and 
 purify for himself B a peculiar people, 'zeal- 
 ous of good works. 
 
 15 These things speak and 'exhort, and 
 rebuke with all authority. d Let no one 
 despise thee. 
 
 CHAPTER III. 
 
 1 Titus is yet further directed by Paul, both con- 
 cerning the things he should teach, and not teach. 
 10 He is willed also to reject the factious : 
 12 which done, he appointeth him both time and 
 place, wherein he should come to him, and so con- 
 cludeth.

 governments and powers, to obey ma-

 CHAPTER I. 
 
 1 Christ in these last times coming to us from the 
 Father, 4 is preferred above the angels, both in 
 •person and office, 
 
 GOD, who in manifold and "various ways 
 spoke anciently to our fathers by the 
 prophets, 
 
 2 "Hath in these last days 'spoken to us 
 by his Son, rf whom he hath appointed heir 
 of all things, "by whom also he made the 
 worlds ; 
 
 3 f Who being the effulgence of his glory, 
 and the exact image of his Hsubstance, and 
 ^upholding all things by the word of his 
 power, A having by himself made expiation 
 tor our sins, 'sat down on the right hand 
 of the Majesty on high ; 
 
 4 Becoming so much superior to the tan- 
 gels, as s he hath obtained a name superior 
 to theirs. 
 
 5 For to which of the angels said he ever, 
 'Thou art my Son, to-day I have begotten 
 thee ? And again, m I will be to him a Fa- 
 ther, and he shall be to me a Son ? 
 
 6 || And again, when he bringeth "the First- 
 begotten into the world, he saith, "And let 
 all the angels of God worship him. 
 
 7 And tof the angels (messengers) he 
 saith, f Who maketh his messengers winds, 
 and his ministers a flame of fire. 
 
 8 But to the Son, he saith, 'Thy throne, 
 
 God, is for ever and ever : a sceptre of 
 trighteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom ; 
 
 9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and 
 hated iniquity; therefore, God, thy God 
 ■hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness 
 above thy fellows. 
 
 10 And, 'Thou, Lord, hast in the begin- 
 ning laid the foundation of the earth; and 
 the heavens are the work of thine hands. 
 
 11 'They will perish, but thou remainest: 
 and they will all grow old as doth a gar- 
 ment ; 
 
 12 And as a vesment thou shalt fold them 
 up, and they will be changed : but thou 
 art the same, and thy years will not fail. 
 
 13 But to which of the angels hath he 
 ever said, "Sit on my right hand, until I 
 make thine enemies thy footstool ? 
 
 14 *Are they not all ministering spirits, 
 sent forth to minister for those who are to 
 "obtain salvation ? 
 
 CHAPTER II. 
 
 1 We ought to be obedient to Christ Jesus, 5 and 
 that because he vouchsafed to take our nature upon 
 him, 14 as it was necessary.

 THEREFORE we ought to give the 
 more earnest heed to the things which 
 we have heard, that we do not || fall away 
 from them. 
 
 2 For if the word "spoken through an- 
 gels proved steadfast, and 'every trans- 
 gression and disobedience received its just 
 retribution ; 
 
 3 "How shall we escape, if we neglect so 
 great salvation; d which at the beginning 
 was spoken by the Lord, and was 'con- 
 firmed to us by those who heard him ; s 
 
 4 'God also bearing them witness, ff both 
 with signs and wonders, and with various 
 miracles, and J| "gifts of the Holy Spirit, 
 'according to his own will ? 
 
 5 For not to angels hath he put in subjec- 
 tion *the world to come of which we speak. 
 
 6 But one in a certain place testified, 
 saying, 'What is man, that thou art mind- 
 ful of him ? or the son of man, that thou 
 llvisitest him ? 
 
 7 Thou madest him ||a little lower than 
 the angels ; thou crownedst him with glo- 
 ry and honour, and didst set hiin over the 
 works of thy hands ; 
 
 8 m Thou hast put all things in subjection 
 under his feet. For in that he put all in 
 subjection under him, he left nothing that 
 is not put under him. But now "we see 
 not yet all things put under him : 
 
 9 But we see Jesus, "who was made a 
 little lower than the angels for the suffer- 
 ing of death, (that by the grace of God he 
 might taste death 'for every man,) 'crown- 
 ed with glory and honour. 
 
 10 'For it became him, 'for whom are all 
 things, and by whom are all things, in bring- 
 ing many sons to glory, to make 'the Captain 
 of their sal vation u perfect through sufferings. 
 
 11 For *both he that sanctifieth, and those 
 who are sanctified, "are all of one: for 
 which cause *he is not ashamed to call 
 them brethren, 
 
 12 Saying, "I will declare thy name to 
 my brethren, in the midst of the congrega- 
 tion I will sing praise to thee. 
 
 13 And again, 4 I will put my trust in him. 
 And again, c Behold, I, and the children 
 d that God hath given me. 
 
 14 Since then, the children partake of 
 flesh and blood*, he 'also himself likewise 
 took part in the same; 'that through death 
 he might destroy him who had the. power 
 of death, that is, the devil ; 
 
 15 And deliver those, who, "through fear 
 
The danger of unbelief. 
 
 CHAPTERS III. IV. V. 
 
 The Christian rest. 
 
 of death, were all their life-time subject 
 to bondage. 
 
 16 For indeed the aideth not angels; but 
 he aideth the seed of Abraham. 
 
 17 Whence in all things it behooved him 
 Ho resemble his brethren; that he might 
 be "a merciful and faithful High Priest in 
 things pertaining to God, to make recon- 
 ciliation for the sins of the people. 
 
 18 'For since he himself hath suffered, 
 being tempted, he is able to succour those 
 who are tempted. 
 
 CHAPTER III. 
 
 1 Christ is more worthy than 3'Ioses, 7 therefore if 
 we believe not in him, we shall be more worthy 
 punishment than hard-hearted Israel. 
 
 WHEREFORE, holy brethren, partak- 
 ** ers of "the heavenly calling, consider 
 4 the Apostle and High Priest of our pro 
 fession, Christ Jesus ; 
 
 2 Who was faithful to him that ^appoint 
 ed him, as also 'Moses was faithful in all 
 his house. 
 
 3 For he is deemed worthy of more glory 
 than Moses, inasmuch as "Tie who hath built 
 the house, hath more honour than the house. 
 
 4 For every house is built by some one ; 
 but 'he that built all things is God. 
 
 5 s And Moses indeed was faithful in all 
 his house, as *a servant, "for a testimony 
 of that which was afterward to be spoken : 
 
 6 But Christ as 'a Son over his own nouse : 
 *whose house are we, 'if we hold fast our 
 confidence, and the rejoicing of our hope 
 firm to the end. 
 
 7 Wherefore, as ™the Holy Spirit saith, 
 "To-day if ye will hear his voice, 
 
 8 Harden not your hearts, as in the pro- 
 vocation, in the day of temptation in the 
 wilderness : 
 
 9 When your fathers tempted me, proved 
 me, though they saw my works forty years. 
 
 10 Wherefore I was angry with that ge- 
 neration, and said, They always go astray 
 in their heart ; and they have not known 
 my ways. 
 
 11 So I swore in my wrath, They shall 
 not enter into my rest. 
 
 12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in 
 any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in 
 departing from the living God. 
 
 13 But exhort one another daily, while it 
 is called To-day ; lest any of you be hard- 
 ened ||through the deceitmlness of sin. 
 
 14 For we have become partakers of Christ, 
 "if we hold ||the beginning of our confi- 
 dence steadfast to the end ; 
 
 15 While it is said, 'To-day if ye will 
 hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as 
 in the provocation. 
 
 16 'For who were they who, when they 
 heard, provoked him? Nay, did not all 
 who were brought out of Egypt by Moses? 
 
 17 And with whom was he angry forty 
 years ? was it not with those who sinned, 
 'whose carcasses fell in the wilderness ? 
 
 18 And 'to whom did he swear that they 
 should not enter into his rest, but to those 
 who believed not ? 
 
 19 'So we see that they could not enter 
 in because of unbelief. 
 
 CHAPTER IV. 
 
 1 The rest of Christians is attained by faith. 12 The 
 power of God's word. 14 By our High Priest Je- 
 sus the Son of God, subject to infirmities, but not 
 sin, 16 we must and may go boldly to the throne 
 of grace.

 LET °us therefore fear, lest a promise 
 being left us of entering into his rest, 
 any of you should seem to come short of it. 
 
 2 For we have the joyful message of rest, 
 as well as they: but to them the promise 
 which they received was of no avail, not 
 being attended with faith in those who re- 
 ceived it. 
 
 3 'For we who have believed enter into 
 his rest, as he said, c As I have sworn in 
 my wrath, they shall not enter into my 
 rest; namely, the works of God having 
 been finished at the foundation of the 
 world. 
 
 4 For he hath somewhere spoken thus of 
 the seventh day, d And God rested on the 
 seventh day from all his works. 
 
 5 And in this place again, They shall not 
 enter into my rest. 
 
 6 Since then it remaineth that some must 
 enter therein, 'and those who formerly re- 
 ceived the promise entered not in because 
 of unbelief, 
 
 7 He again fixeth a certain day, To-day, 
 saying, after so long a time, in David, (as 
 it is said,) / To-day, if ye will hear his 
 voice, harden not your hearts. 
 
 8 For if Joshua had given them rest, he 
 would not afterward have spoken of an- 
 other day. 
 
 9 There remaineth therefore a ||Sabbath- 
 rest for the people of God. 
 
 10 For he who hath entered into his rest, 
 hath himself also rested from his works, as 
 God did from his. 
 
 11 Let us strive .therefore to enter into 
 that rest, that none may fall e as a like ex- 
 ample of ||unbelief. 
 
 12 For the word of God is living, and 
 powerful, and 'sharper than any "two-edged 
 sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul 
 and spirit, of the joints and marrow, and 
 is 'a discerner of the thoughts and purposes 
 of the heart. 
 
 13 m Nor is there any creature that is not 
 manifest in his sight: but all things are 
 naked "and open to the eyes of him with 
 whom we have to do. 
 
 14 Having then "a great High Priest, p who 
 is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son 
 of God, 'let us hold fast our profession. 
 
 15 For r we have not an high priest who 
 cannot sympathize with our weaknesses : 
 but one who *was in all points tried as we 
 are, 'though without sin. 
 
 16 "Let us therefore come boldly to the 
 throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, 
 and find grace to help in time of need. 
 
 CHAPTER V. 
 
 1 The authority and honour of our Saviour's priest- 
 hood. 11 Negligence in the knowledge thereof is 
 reproved. 
 
 FOR every high priest taken from among 
 men, °is appointed for men 6 in things 
 pertaining to God, 'that he may offer both 
 gifts and sacrifices for sins : 
 
 2 d Who || can have compassion on the ig- 
 norant and erring ; since 'he himself also 
 is encompassed with infirmity. 
 
 3 And •''for this reason he must, as for 
 the people, so also for himself, make offer- 
 ing for sins. 
 
 4 *And no one taketh this honour to him- 
 self, but he who is called of God, as "was 
 Aaron : 
 
 5 '"So also Christ honoured not himself to 
 
 161 
 
The danger of apostasy. 
 
 be made an high priest ; but he who said 
 to him, 'Thou art my Son, to-day have I 
 begotten thee. 
 
 6 As he saith also in another place, 'Thou 
 art a priest for ever after the order of Mel- 
 chisedec. 
 
 7 Who in the days of his flesh, ""offering 
 up prayers and supplications "with strong 
 crying and tears to him "who was able to 
 save him from death, and being heard H'in 
 his distress ; 
 
 8 'Though he was a Son, yet learned 
 'obedience by that which he suffered ; 
 
 9 And 'being made perfect, he became 
 the author of eternal salvation to all who 
 obey him, 
 
 10 Being styled by God a high priest 
 'after the order of Melchisedec. 
 
 11 Of whom "we have much to say, and 
 hard to be explained, since ye are Mull of 
 hearing. 
 
 12 For when, from the length of time, ye 
 ought to be teachers, ye have need that one 
 teach you again what are '■'the first princi- 
 ples ot the oracles of God; and are become 
 such as have need of z milk, and not of 
 solid food. 
 
 13 For every one that useth milk, is in- 
 experienced in the word of righteousness : 
 for he is "a babe. 
 
 14 But solid food is for those who are ||of 
 full age, who by ||use have their perceptions 
 exercised to discern both good and evil. 
 
 CHAPTER VI. 
 
 1 He exhorteth not to fall back from the faith, 11 but 
 to be steadfast, 12 diligent, and patient to wait 
 upon God, 13 because God is most sure in his pro- 
 mise. 
 
 THEREFORE "leaving the elementary 
 principles of the doctrine of Christ, 
 let us go on to perfection; not laying again 
 a foundation by repentance 'from dead 
 works, and faith in God, 
 
 2 <0By the teaching of immersion, d and of 
 the laying on of hands, 'and the resurrec- 
 tion of the dead, 'and eternal judgment. 
 
 3 And this we will do, s if God permit. 
 
 4 For "it is impossible for those 'who have 
 been once enlightened, and have tasted of 
 *the heavenly gift, and 'been made par- 
 takers of the Holy Spirit, 
 
 5 And have tasted the good word of God, 
 and the powers of ""the world to come, 
 
 6 If they shall fall away, to be again re- 
 newed to repentance ; "since they crucify 
 to themselves the Son of God afresh, and 
 put him to open shame. 
 
 7 For the earth which drinketh in the 
 rain that cometh often upon it, and bring- 
 eth forth herbs useful to those for whom it 
 is cultivated, "receiveth blessing from God : 
 
 8 *But if it bear thorns and briers, it is 
 rejected, and is near to cursing, and its 
 end is to be burned. 
 
 9 But, beloved, we are persuaded better 
 things of you, and things that accompany 
 salvation, though we thus speak. 
 
 10 'For 'God is not unrighteous to forget 
 'your work and labour of love, which ye 
 have shewed towards his name, in that ye 
 have 'ministered and still minister to the 
 saints. 
 
 11 And we desire that "every one of you 
 shew the same diligence *for maintaining 
 your fully assured hope to the end : 
 
 12 That ye be not slothful, but followers

 Christ's priesthood, 
 
 of those who through faith and patience 
 "obtain the fulfilment o/the promises. 
 
 13 For when God made promise to Abra- 
 ham, since he could swear by no one 
 greater, z he swore by himself, 
 
 14 Saying, Surely I will greatly bless 
 thee, and I will greatly multiply thee. 
 
 15 And so, by patiently enduring, he ob- 
 tained the promise. 
 
 16 For men indeed swear by the greater: 
 and "an oath for confirmation is to them 
 an end of all strife. 
 
 17 Wherein God, wishing to shew more 
 abundantly to 'the heirs of the promise 
 'the immutability of his counsel, teonfirm- 
 ed it by an oath : 
 
 18 That by two immutable things, in 
 which it was impossible for God to lie, 
 we might have a strong consolation, who 
 have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the 
 hope d set before us : 
 
 19 Which hope we have as an anchor of 
 the soul, both sure and steadfast, 'and 
 which entereth within the vail ; 
 
 20 'Whither Jesus entered for us as a 
 forerunner, ^becoming an high priest for 
 ever after the order ot Melchisedec. 
 
 CHAPTER VII. 
 
 I Christ Jesus is a priest after the order of Melchi- 
 sedec, 1 1 and so, far more excellent than the priests 
 of Aaron's order. 
 
 FOR this "Melchisedec, king of Salem, 
 priest of the most high God, who met 
 Abraham returning from the slaughter of 
 the kings, and blessed him ; 
 
 2 To whom also Abraham gave a tenth 
 part of all ; being first by interpretation 
 King of righteousness, and then also King 
 of Salem, (which is, King of peace;) 
 
 3 Without father, without mother, twith- 
 out descent, having neither beginning of 
 days, nor end of life; but made like the 
 Son of God; remaineth a priest continually. 
 
 4 And consider how great was this man, 
 6 to whom even the patriarch Abraham gave 
 the tenth of the spoils. 
 
 5 "Those indeed of the sons of Levi, who 
 receive the priesthood, have a command to 
 take tithes of the people according to the 
 law, that is, of their brethren, though they 
 have come from the loins of Abraham : 
 
 6 But he whose ||descent is not derived 
 from them received tithes of Abraham, 
 ''and blessed 'him who had the promises. 
 
 7 And without any contradiction the less 
 is blessed by the greater. 
 
 And here indeed men who die receive 
 tithes; but there he receiveth them, 'of 
 whom it is testified that he liveth. 
 
 9 And so to speak, Levi also, who re- 
 ceiveth tithes, paid tithes in Abraham. 
 
 10 For he was yet in the loins of his fa- 
 ther, when Melchisedec met him. 
 
 II g If therefore perfection were by the 
 Levitical priesthood, (for on condition of 
 it the people had received the law,) what 
 further need was there that another priest 
 should arise after the order of Melchise- 
 dec, and not be called after the order of 
 Aaron ? 
 
 12 For the -priesthood being changed, 
 there is made of necessity a change also 
 of the law. 
 
 13 For he of whom these things are 
 spoken belongeth to another tribe, of 
 which no one attended at the altar. 
 
The sacrifices of the law 
 
 CHAPTERS VIII. IX. 
 
 far inferior to that of Christ. 
 
 14 For it is evident that *our Lord sprung 
 from Judah; of which tribe Moses said 
 nothing concerning priesthood. 
 
 15 And it is yet far more evident, if after 
 the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth 
 another priest, 
 
 16 Who is made, not by a law of carnal 
 commandment, but by the power of an 
 endless life. 
 
 17 For he testifieth, 'Thou art a priest 
 for ever after the order of Melchisedec. 
 
 18 For there becometh an annulling of 
 the former commandment, from *its weak- 
 ness and unprofitableness, 
 
 19 (For 'the law made nothing perfect,) 
 and the bringing in of m a better hope, by 
 which "we draw near to God. 
 
 20 And inasmuch as it was not without 
 an oath : 
 
 21 (For they indeed are made priests 
 Hwithout an oath ; but he with an oath, by 
 him who said to him, "The Lord hath sworn, 
 and will not repent, Thou art a priest for 
 ever after the order of Melchisedec :) 
 
 22 By so much p is Jesus become the 
 surety of a better covenant. 
 
 23 And they indeed have been many 
 priests, because they were hindered by 
 death from continuing: 
 
 24 But he, because he continueth for 
 ever, hath ||his priesthood unchangeable. 
 
 25 Wherefore he is able also to save ||en- 
 tirely those who come to God by him, 
 since he ever liveth «to intercede for them. 
 
 26 For such an high priest became us, 
 r who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate 
 from sinners, 'and made higher than the 
 heavens : 
 
 27 Who needeth not daily, like the high 
 priests, to offer up sacrifice, 'first for his 
 own sins, ^and then for the people's : for 
 "this he did once for all, by offering up 
 himself. 
 
 28 For the law maketh "men high priests, 
 who have infirmity; but the word of the 
 oath, which was since the law, maketh the 
 Son, *who is perfected for ever. 
 
 CHAPTER VIII. 
 
 1 By the eternal priesthood of Christ the Levitical 
 priesthood of Aaron is abolished. 7 And the tem- 
 poral covenant with the fathers, by the eternal co- 
 venant of the gospel. 
 
 NOW of what we are saying this is the 
 sum: We have such an nigh priest, 
 "who is seated on the right hand of the 
 throne of the Majesty in the heavens ; 
 
 2 A minister ||of 'the sanctuary, and of 
 c the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitch- 
 ed, and not man. 
 
 3 For d every high priest is appointed to 
 offer gifts and sacrifices : wherefore "it is 
 necessary that he also have something to 
 offer. 
 
 4 For if he were on earth, he would not 
 be a priest, the priests being those who 
 offer gifts according to the law: 
 
 5 (Who serve in a temple which is the 
 image and -^shadow of the heavenly, as 
 Moses was directed by God when about 
 to make the tabernacle : ff for, See (saith he) 
 that thou make all things according to the 
 pattern shewed to thee in the mount ;) 
 
 6 But now he *hath obtained a more ex- 
 cellent ministry, by as much also as he is 
 the mediator of a better ||covenant, which 
 is established upon better promises.

 7 'For if that first covenant had been 
 faultless, there would no place have been

 them, 'Behold, the days come, saith the 
 Lord, when I will make a new covenant 
 with the house of Israel and with the house 
 of Judah : 
 
 9 Not according to the covenant which I 
 made with their fathers, in the clay when 
 I took them by the hand to lead them out 
 of the land of Egypt; because they con- 
 tinued not in my covenant, and I regarded 
 them not, saith the Lord. 
 
 10 For 'this is the covenant that I will 
 make with the house of Israel, after those 
 days, saith the Lord ; I will tput my laws 
 into their mind, and write them on their 
 hearts: and m I will be to them a God, and 
 (hey shall be to me a people : 
 
 11 And "they shall not teach every one 
 his neighbour, and every one his brother, 
 saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know 
 me, from the least to the greatest. 
 
 12 For I will be merciful to their un- 
 righteousness, "and their sins and their 
 iniquities I will remember no more. 
 
 13 p In that he saith, A new covenant, he 
 hath declared the first old. Now that 
 which decay eth and groweth old, is near 
 to dissolution. 
 
 CHAPTER IX. 
 
 1 The description of the rites and bloody sacrifices of 
 the law, 11 far inferior to the dignity and perfec- 
 tion of the blood and sacrifice of Christ. 
 
 nVTOW the first covenant had [|ordinances 
 -L ' of divine service, and °its worldly 
 sanctuary. 
 
 2 Tor there was a first tabernacle made, 
 'wherein was d the candlestick, and e the 
 table, and the shew-bread; which is called 
 Holy. 
 
 3 J"And after the second vail, the taber- 
 nacle which is called the Holiest of all ; 
 
 4 Which had the golden censer, and the 
 ark of the covenant covered on every side 
 with gold, wherein was A the golden pot 
 that had the manna, and "Aaron's rod that 
 budded, and *the tables of the covenant; 
 
 5 And 'over it the cherubim of glory 
 shadowing the mercy-seat; of which we 
 cannot now speak particularly. 
 
 6 And these things being thus prepared, 
 m the priests go indeed always into the first 
 tabernacle, performing their service : 
 
 7 But into the second the high priest only 
 "once a year goeth alone, not without blood, 
 "which he offereth for himself, and for the 
 errors of the people: 
 
 8 *The Holy Spirit showing this, that 'the 
 way into the holiest of all was not yet made 
 manifest, while the first tabernacle was yet 
 standing : 
 
 9 Which was a figure for the time then 
 present, in which were offered both gifts 
 and sacrifices, that could not make him 
 who did the service perfect, as to the con- 
 science; 
 
 10 Being enjoined only with 'meats and 
 drinks, and 'various immersions, "and car- 
 nal ||ordinances, until the time of reforma- 
 tion. 
 
 11 But Christ coming T an high priest v of 
 good things to come, 'entered through the. 
 greater and more perfect tabernacle, not 
 
 16:5 
 
The necessity of Christ's death. 
 
 made with hands, (that is, not of this cre- 
 ation ;) 
 
 12 And not "with the blood of goats and 
 calves, but 'with his own blood, 'once for 
 all into the holy place, d and obtained for 
 us eternal redemption : 
 
 13 For if 'the blood of bulls and of goats, 
 and 'the ashes of a heifer sprinkling the 
 unclean, purifieth to the cleansing of the 
 flesh: 
 
 14 How much more *will the blood of 
 Christ, ft who through the eternal Spirit 
 'offered himself without |] spot to God, 
 *cleanse your conscience from 'dead works 
 m to serve the living God ? 
 
 15 "And for this reason °he is mediator 
 of a new covenant, 'that by his death, 
 which happened for deliverance from the 
 transgressions under the first covenant, 
 'those who are called may receive the pro- 
 mise of the eternal inheritance. 
 
 16 For where a ttestament is, there must 
 also of necessity ||be the death of the testa- 
 tor. 
 
 17 For 'a testament is of force after men 
 are dead, but hath no strength at all while 
 the testator liveth. 
 
 18 'Hence neither was the first covenant 
 Dsolemnized without blood. 
 
 19 For when Moses had spoken every 
 
 f>recept to all the people according to the 
 aw, 'he took the blood of calves and of 
 goats, "with water, and ||scarlet wool, and 
 hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself 
 and all the people, 
 
 20 Saying, "This is the blood of the cove- 
 nant which God hath enjoined upon you. 
 
 21 And the tabernacle, too, and all the 
 vessels of the service, y he in like manner 
 sprinkled with blood. 
 
 22 And almost all things are by the law 
 cleansed with blood; and 'without shed- 
 ding of blood is no remission. 
 
 23 It was necessary then that "the pat- 
 terns of the heavenly things should indeed 
 be cleansed with these ; but the heavenly 
 things themselves with better sacrifices 
 than these. 
 
 24 For 'Christ did not enter the holy 
 place made with hands, the figure of c the 
 true; but heaven itself, now d to appear in 
 the presence of God for us : 
 
 25 Nor that he might offer himself often, 
 as e the high priest entereth into the holy 
 place every year with blood of others; 
 
 26 (Since then he must often have suffer- 
 ed since the foundation of the world;) but 
 now Amce for all «in the end of the world, 
 he hath appeared to put away sin by the 
 sacrifice of himself. 
 
 27 *And as it is appointed to men once to 
 die, 'and after this the judgment : 
 
 28 So *Christ was once for all 'offered to 
 bear the sins m of many ; and to those who 
 "look for him will appear the second time 
 without sin to salvation. 
 
 CHAPTER X. 
 
 1 The weakness of the law sacrifices. 10 The sacri- 
 fice of Christ's body once offered, Wfor ever hath 
 taken away sins. 19 An exhortation to hold fast 
 the faith, with patience and thanksgiving. 
 
 FOR the law having "a shadow 6 of the 
 good things to come, and not the very 
 image of the things, 'can never with those 
 sacrifices which they offer year by year

 The weakness of the law sacrifices. 
 
 continually, make those who come to them 
 d perfect. 
 
 2 Since then ||would they not have ceased 
 to be offered ? because the worshippers 
 once cleansed would have had no more 
 consciousness of sins. 
 
 3 'But in these sacrifices there is a re- 
 membrance made of sins every year. 
 
 4 For 'it is impossible that the blood of 
 bulls and of goats should take away sins. 
 
 5 Wherefore, when he cometh into the 
 world, he saith, ^Sacrifice and offering thou 
 wouldest not, but a body ||hast thou pre- 
 pared me : 
 
 6 In burnt-offerings and sin-offerings thou 
 hast no pleasure. 
 
 7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume 
 of the book it is written of me) to do thy 
 will, O God. 
 
 8 Above, having said, Sacrifice and offer- 
 ing and burnt-offerings and sin-offerings 
 thou wouldest not, nor hast pleasure there- 
 in ; (which are offered by the law ;) 
 
 9 Then he saith, Lo, I come to do thy 
 will, O God. He taketh away the first, 
 that he may establish the second. 
 
 10 ft By which will we are sanctified 
 'through the offering of the body of Jesus 
 Christ once for all. 
 
 11 And every priest standeth "daily mi- 
 nistering and offering often the same sacri- 
 fices, 'which can never take away sins : 
 
 12 m But he, having offered one sacrifice 
 for sins, hath for ever sat down on the right 
 hand of God ; 
 
 13 From henceforth waiting "till his ene- 
 mies be made his footstool. 
 
 14 For by one offering "he hath perfected 
 for ever those who are sanctified. 
 
 15 Of which the Holy Spirit also is a wit- 
 ness to us : for after having said before, 
 
 16 p This is the covenant that I will make 
 with them after those days, saith the Lord ; 
 I will put my laws into their hearts, and 
 will write them in their minds ; 
 
 17 tAnd their sins and iniquities I will 
 remember no more. 
 
 18 Now, where remission of these is, 
 there is no more offering for sin. 
 
 19 Having therefore, brethren, «||boldness 
 to enter 'into the holy place by the blood 
 of Jesus, 
 
 20 By 'a new and llliving way, which he 
 hath ||consecrated for us, 'through the vail, 
 that is to say, his flesh ; 
 
 21 And having "an high priest over *the 
 house of God; 
 
 22 *Let us draw near with a true heart, 
 *in full assurance of faith, having our 
 hearts sprinkled "from an evil conscience, 
 and 'our bodies washed with pure water. 
 
 23 'Let us hold fast the profession of our 
 faith without wavering; (for d he is faithful 
 who hath given the promise ;) 
 
 24 And let us have regard to one another, 
 to stimulate to love, and to good works: 
 
 25 "Not forsaking the assembling of our- 
 selves together, as is the custom of some ; 
 but exhorting one another; and 'so much 
 the more, as ye see *the day approaching. 
 
 26 For *if we^in wilfully 'after we have 
 received the knowledge of the truth, there 
 remained, no more a sacrifice for sins, 
 
 27 But a certain fearful looking for of 
 judgment and *fiery indignatiou, which 
 will devour the adversaries. 
 
 
The nature of faith, and 
 
 28 'He who despised Moses' law, died 
 without mercy "under two or three wit- 
 nesses : 
 
 29 "Of how much severer punishment, 
 suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who 
 hath trodden under foot the Son of God, 
 and "hath counted the blood of the cove- 
 nant, wherewith he was sanctified, an un- 
 holy thing, p and hath done despite to the 
 Spirit of grace ? 
 
 30 For we know him who hath said, 
 'Vengeance is mine, I will recompense, 
 saith the Lord. And again, r The Lord 
 will judge his people. 
 
 31 'It is a fearful thing to fall into the 
 hands of the living God. 
 
 32 But 'call to remembrance the former 
 days, in which, "after ye were illuminated, 
 ye endured *a great struggle of afflictions ; 
 
 33 Partly, while ye were "openly exposed 
 to reproaches and afflictions ; and partly, 
 while *ye became companions of those who 
 were so used. 
 
 34 For ye had compassion on me "in my 
 bonds, and 'endured joyfully the spoiling 
 of your goods, knowing ||that c ye have in 
 heaven a better and an enduring sub- 
 stance. 
 
 35 Cast not away therefore your confi- 
 dence, ''which hath a great reward. 
 
 36 "For ye have need of patience, that, by 
 doing the will of God, f ye may receive the 
 promise. 
 
 37 For *yet a little while, and *he who 
 cometh will come, and will not tarry. 
 
 38 And 'the just will live by faith: but if 
 any one draw back, my soul hath no plea- 
 sure in him. 
 
 39 But we are not of those *who draw 
 back to perdition; but of those who 'be- 
 lieve to the saving of the soul. 
 
 CHAPTER XI. 
 
 1 What faith is, 6 Without faith we cannot please 
 God. 7 The worthy fruits thereof in the fathers 
 of old time. 
 
 NOW faith is confidence in things hoped 
 for, the full conviction "of things not 
 seen: 
 
 2 For 6 by this the elders obtained a good 
 report. 
 
 3 Through faith we understand that c the 
 worlds were framed by the word of God, so 
 that things which are seen have not sprung 
 from things which appear. 
 
 4 By faith d Abel offered to God a more 
 excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he 
 received testimony that he was righteous, 
 God testifying to him on account of his 
 gifts : and by it he being dead ' ||yet speak- 
 eth. 
 
 5 By faith ■''Enoch was translated, that he 
 should not see death ; and was not found, 
 because God had translated him : for be- 
 fore his translation he had the testimony, 
 that he pleased God. 
 
 6 But without faith it is impossible to 
 please him : for he who cometh to God 
 must believe that he is, and that he is a 
 rewarder of those who diligently seek him. 
 
 7 By faith g Noah, being warned of God 
 concerning things not seen as yet, ||moved 
 with reverence, "prepared an ark for the 
 saving of his house; by which he con- 
 demned the woi-ld, and became heir of 
 'the righteousness which is by faith. 
 
 8 By faith * Abraham, when called to go

 its acceptableness to God. 
 
 out into the place which he was to receive 
 for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went 
 out not knowing whither he went. 
 
 9 By faith he sojourned in the land of 
 promise, as in a strange country, 'dwelling 
 in tents with Isaac and Jacob, m heirs with 
 him of the same promise : 
 
 10 For he looked for "the city which hath 
 foundations, "whose builder and maker is 
 God. 
 
 1 1 Through faith also ? Sarah herself re- 
 ceived strength to conceive seed, and 'bore 
 a child when she was past age, because she 
 considered him 'faithful who had promised. 
 
 12 Therefore also there sprung from one, 
 and 'him become as dead, 'a nation as the 
 stars of heaven in multitude, and as the 
 sand which is by the sea-shore innume- 
 rable. 
 
 13 These all died tin faith, "not having 
 received the promises, but * having seen 
 them from afar, and being persuaded of 
 them, and embracing them, and "acknow- 
 ledging that they were strangers and so- 
 journers on the earth. 
 
 14 For those who say such things *declare 
 plainly that they seek a country. 
 
 15 And if indeed they had been mindful 
 of that country from which they came out, 
 they might have had opportunity to return. 
 
 16 But now they seek a better country, 
 that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not 
 ashamed °to be called their God: for lie 
 hath prepared for them a city. 
 
 17 By faith 'Abraham, being tried, offered 
 up Isaac : and he who had received the 
 promises ''offered up his only begotten son, 
 
 18 ||Of whom it was said, e In Isaac shall 
 thy seed be called: 
 
 19 Considering that God ■''was able to 
 raise him up, even from the dead; whence 
 also he received him in a figure. 
 
 20 By faith s Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau 
 concerning things to come. 
 
 21 By faith Jacob, when dying, "blessed 
 both the sons of Joseph ; and 'worshipped, 
 leaning on the top of his staff. 
 
 22 By faith 'Joseph, when he died, ]|made 
 mention of the departure of the children 
 of Israel ; and gave command concerning 
 his bones. 
 
 23 By faith 'Moses, when he was born, 
 was hidden three months by his parents, 
 because they saw that the child was fair; 
 and they feared not the king's ""command. 
 
 24 By faith "Moses, when he was come 
 to years, refused to be called the son of 
 Pharaoh's daughter; 
 
 25 "Choosing rather to suffer affliction 
 with the people of God, than to enjoy the 
 pleasures of sin for a season ; 
 
 26 Esteeming ? the reproach ||of Christ 
 greater riches than the treasures of Egypt: 
 for he looked to 'the reward. 
 
 27 By faith r he forsook Egypt, not fearing 
 the wrath of the king : for he endured, as 
 'seeing him who is invisible. 
 
 28 Through faith 'he kept the passover, 
 and performed the sprinkling of blood, 
 that he who destroyed the first-born might 
 not touch them. 
 
 29 By faith "they passed through the Red 
 sea as by dry land : which the Egyptians 
 attempting, were drowned. 
 
 30 By faith x the walls of Jericho fell 
 down, being encompassed seven days. 
 
 165 
 
Exhortation to patience and constancy. 
 
 31 By faith y the harlot Rahab perished 
 not with the ||unbelieving, since *she had 
 received the spies with peace. 
 
 32 And what shall I say further ? for the 
 time would fail me to tell of "Gideon, and 
 'Barak, and c Samson, and ''Jephthah, of 
 'David, and /Samuel, and of the prophets: 
 
 33 Who through faith subdued kingdoms, 
 wrought righteousness, ^obtained promises, 
 "stopped the mouths of lions, 
 
 34 'Quenched the violence of fire, "es- 
 caped the edge of the sword, 'from weak- 
 ness were made strong, became valiant in 
 fight, m put to flight the hosts of the enemy. 
 
 35 "Women received their dead raised to 
 life again : and others were "tortured, not 
 accepting deliverance ; that they might 
 obtain a better resurrection : 
 
 36 And others endured mockings and 
 scourgings, and, moreover, 9 bonds and im- 
 prisonment : 
 
 37 'They were stoned, were sawn asun- 
 der, were tempted, were slain with the 
 sword: 'they wandered about 'in sheep- 
 skins, and goat-skins ; being destitute, af- 
 flicted, tormented ; 
 
 38 (Of whom the world was not worthy:) 
 they wandered in deserts, and mountains, 
 and "in dens and caves of the earth. 
 
 39 And these all, *having obtained a good 
 report through faith, received not the pro- 
 mise : 
 
 40 God having for our sakes Uprovided 
 v something better, that they without us 
 might not be *made perfect. 
 
 CHAPTER XII. 
 
 1 An exhortation to constant faith, patience, and 
 godliness. 22 A commendation of the new testa- 
 ment above the old. 
 
 WHEREFORE, let us also, since we 
 are encompassed with so great a 
 cloud of witnesses, "lay aside every weight, 
 and the sin which doth so easily beset us, 
 and 'let us run 'with patience the race that 
 is set before us, 
 
 2 Looking to Jesus, the Hauthor and finisher 
 of our faith ; d who, for the joy that was set 
 before him, endured the cross, despising 
 the shame, and e hath sat down at the right 
 hand of the throne of God. 
 
 3 -Tor consider him who endured such 
 contradiction of sinners against himself, 
 s lest ye be wearied and faint in your 
 minds. 
 
 4 'Ye have not yet resisted to blood, 
 striving against sin. 
 
 5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation 
 which speaketh to you as to children, 'My 
 son, despise not thou the chastening of the 
 Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked by 
 him : 
 
 6 For "whom the Lord loveth he chasten- 
 eth, and scourgeth every son whom he re- 
 ceiveth. 
 
 7 'If ye endure chastening, God dealeth 
 with you as with sons : for what son is he 
 whom the father chasteneth not ? 
 
 8 But if ye are without chastisement, m of 
 which all are partakers, then ye are bas- 
 tards, and not sons. 
 
 9 What! have our fleshly fathers chas- 
 tised us, and we paid them reverence, and 
 shall we not much rather be subject to "the 
 Father of spirits, and live ? 
 
 10 For they indeed for a few days chas- 
 tised us Hafter their own pleasure ; but he

 The danger of refusing the word. 
 
 for our profit, "that we might be partakers 
 of his holiness. 
 
 11 Now no chastening for the present 
 seemeth to be joyous, but grievous : yet, 
 afterward it yieldeth the peaceful fruit of 
 righteousness to those who are disciplined 
 by it. 
 
 12 Wherefore 'strengthen the weary 
 hands, and the feeble knees ; 
 
 13 'And make || straight paths for your 
 feet, that what is lame be not turned out 
 of the way, 'but rather healed. 
 
 14 'Follow peace with all, and holiness, 
 "without which no one will see the Lord : 
 
 15 x Looking diligently, "lest any man 
 [|fail of the grace of God; *lest any root of 
 bitterness springing up, trouble you, and 
 thereby many be defiled ; 
 
 16 "Lest there be any fornicator, or pro- 
 fane person, as Esau, 'who for one meal 
 sold his birthright. 
 
 17 For ye know that afterward, "when he 
 wished to obtain the blessing, he was re- 
 jected : ''for he found no means of chang- 
 ing his father 's mind, though he sought it 
 earnestly with tears. 
 
 18 For ye are not come to "a mount that 
 might be touched, and that burned with 
 fire, and to blackness, and darkness, and 
 tempest, 
 
 19 And the sound of a trumpet, and a 
 speaking voice; which those who heard, 
 7 en treated that the word should not be 
 spoken to them any more : 
 
 20 (For they could not endure the com- 
 mand, *Even if a beast touch the mountain, 
 it. shall be stoned, or thrust through with a 
 dart : 
 
 21 "And so terrible was the sight, that 
 Moses said, I fear and tremble!) 
 
 22 But ye are come *to mount Zion, *and 
 to the city of the living God, the heavenly 
 Jerusalem, 'and to an innumerable com- 
 pany of angels, " 
 
 23 To the general assembly and church 
 of ™the first-born, "who are enrolled in 
 heaven, and to God "the Judge of all, and 
 to the spirits of just men p made perfect, 
 
 24 And to Jesus, 'the mediator of the new 
 covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, 
 that speaketh better things 'than that of 
 Abel. 
 
 25 See that ye refuse not him who speak- 
 eth. For 'if they escaped not who refused 
 him who declared his will on earth, much 
 less shall we, if we turn away from him 
 who speaketh from heaven : 
 
 26 "Whose voice then shook the eartli : 
 but now he hath promised, saying, *Yet 
 once more I shake not the earth only, but 
 also heaven. 
 
 27 And the words, Yet once more, sig- 
 nify "the removing of that which ||is shaken, 
 as having been made, that what is not 
 shaken may remain. 
 
 28 Wherefore, receiving an unshaken 
 kingdom, ||let us have grace, whereby we 
 may serve God acceptably, with reverence 
 and godly fear ; 
 
 29 For *our God is a consuming fire. 
 
 CHAPTER XIII. 
 
 1 Divers admonitions, as to charity, 4 to honest life, 
 5 to avoid covetousness, 7 to regard God's preach- 
 ers, 9 to take heed of strange doctrines, 10 to con- 
 fess Christ, 16 to give alms, 17 to obey governors, 
 18 to pray for the apostle. 20 The conclvsion. 
 
Exhortations to love, fidelity, 
 
 LET "brotherly love continue. 
 2 'Forget not to entertain strangers : 
 for thereby 'some have unawares enter- 
 tained angels. 
 
 3 ^Remember those in bonds, as bound 
 with them ; and those who suffer affliction, 
 as being yourselves also in the body. 
 
 4 Let marriage be honourable among all, 
 and its bed be undefiled : 'but fornicators 
 and adulterers God will judge. 
 
 5 Let your disposition be without covet- 
 ousness; and -^be content with what ye 
 have : for he hath said, *I will never leave 
 thee, nor forsake thee. 
 
 6 So that we may confidently say, "The 
 Lord is my helper, and I will not fear 
 what man shall do to me. 
 
 7 'Remember your |] leaders, who have 
 spoken to you the word of God : *mark 
 the result of their course, and imitate their 
 faith. 
 
 8 Jesus Christ is 'the same yesterday, and 
 to-day, and for ever. 
 
 9 m Be not carried about with various and 
 strange doctrines : for it is good that the 
 heart be established with grace ; "not with 
 food, which hath not profited those who 
 have been occupied therein. 
 
 10 "We have an altar from which those 
 have no right to eat who serve the taber- 
 nacle. 
 
 11 For ?the bodies of those beasts, whose 
 blood is brought into the sanctuary by the 
 high priest for sin, are burned without the 
 camp. 
 
 12 Wherefore Jesus also, that he might 
 sanctify the people by his own blood, 'suf- 
 fered without the gate. 
 
 IS Let us go forth therefore to him with- 
 out the camp, bearing r his reproach.

 CHAPTER I. 
 
 1 We are to rejoice under the cross, 5 to ask patience 
 of God, 13 and in our trials not to impute our 
 weakness, or sins, to him, 19 but rather to hearken 
 to the word, to meditate in it, and to do thereafter. 
 26 Otherwise men may seem, but never be truly 
 religious. 
 
 "TAMES, *a servant of God and of the 
 
 J Lord Jesus Christ, "to the twelve 
 
 tribes d that are scattered abroad, greeting. 
 
 2 'Count it all joy, my brethren, Avhen ye 
 are involved in various trials ; 
 
 3 ^Knowing that the proving of your faith 
 worketh patience. 
 
 4 But let patience have its perfect work, 
 that ye may be perfect and entire, lacking 
 nothing. 
 
 5 A If any of you lack wisdom, Met him 
 ask of God, who giveth to all men libe- 
 rally, and upbraideth not ; and *it shall be 
 given him. 
 
 6 'But let him ask in faith, nothing waver- 
 ing. For he that wavereth is like a wave 
 of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 
 
 7 For let not that man think that he shall 
 receive any thing from the Lord.

 all his ways.

 in being exalted :

 pass away. . 
 
 11 For the sun riseth with a Hburning heat, 
 and withereth the grass, and its flower fall- 
 eth away, and the grace of its appearance 
 perisheth : so also will the rich man fade 
 away in his ways.

 for becoming approved, he will receive ? the 
 crown of life, 'which the Lord hath pro- 
 mised to those who love him. 
 
 13 Let no one say when he is tried by 
 evil, I am tried by God: for God is untried 
 by [|evil, and he himself trieth no one: 
 
 14 But each one is tried, when he is 
 drawn away and enticed by his own de- 
 sire.

 word of truth, »that we should be a kind 
 of *iirst-fruits of his creatures. 
 
 19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, "let 
 every man be swift to hear, 'slow to speak, 
 °slow to wrath : 
 
 ier 
 
We must not despise the poor. 
 
 20 For the wrath of man worketh not the 
 righteousness of God. 
 
 21 Wherefore d lay aside all filth, and 
 abounding wickedness, and receive with 
 meekness the implanted word, 'which is 
 able to save your souls. 
 
 22 And 'become doers of the word, and 
 not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 
 
 23 For *if any be a hearer of the word, 
 and not a doer, he is like a man beholding 
 his natural face in a glass : 
 
 24 For he beholdetn himself, and goeth 
 away, and immediately forgetteth how he 
 looked. 
 
 25 But 'whoever looketh closely into the 
 perfect 'law, which is that of liberty, and 
 continueth therein, he being not a forgetful 
 hearer, but a doer of the work, 'this man 
 will be happy in his ||deed. 
 
 26 If any man among you is considered 
 to be religious, and 'bridleth not his tongue, 
 but leadeth astray his own heart, this man's 
 religion is vain. 
 
 27 Pure religion and undefiled before God 
 and the Father is this, m To visit the father- 
 less and widows in their affliction, "and to 
 keep ourselves unspotted from the world. 
 
 CHAPTER II. 
 1 It is not agreeable to Christian profession to re- 
 gard the rich, and to despise the poor brethren : 
 13 rather we are to be loving, and merciful: 14 and 
 not to boast of faith vihere no deeds are, 17 which 
 is but a dead faith, 19 the faith of devils, 21 and 
 not of Abraham, 25 and Rahab. 
 
 MY brethren, hold not the faith of our 
 Lord Jesus Christ, "the Lord of glo- 
 ry, with 'respect of persons. 
 
 2 For if there enter your tassembly, a 
 man with a gold ring, in splendid clothing, 
 and there come in also a poor man in mean 
 clothing; 
 
 3 And ye look on him who weareth the 
 splendid clothing, and say to him, Do thou 
 sit here ||honourably; and say to the poor, 
 Do thou stand there, or sit here under my 
 footstool : 
 
 4 Do ye not then make distinctions ||among 
 yourselves, and become judges having evil 
 thoughts ? 
 
 5 Hearken, my beloved brethren, c Hath 
 not God chosen the poor of this world as 
 d rich in faith, and heirs of |]the kingdom 
 'which he hath promised to those who love 
 him? 
 
 6 But 'ye have despised the poor ! Are 
 not the rich those who oppress you, ? and 
 drag you into courts of justice? 
 
 7 Do not they revile the honourable name 
 by which ye are called ? 
 
 8 If indeed ye fulfil the royal law accord- 
 ing to the scripture, *Thou shalt love thy 
 neighbour as thyself, ye do well : 
 
 9 But 'if ye have respect to persons, ye 
 commit sin, and are convicted by the law 
 as transgressors. 
 
 10 For whoever shall keep the whole law, 
 and yet stumble in one point, *he is guilty 
 in respect to all. 
 
 11 For ||he who said, 'Do not commit 
 adultery; said also, Do not kill. Now, if 
 thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, 
 thou art become a transgressor of the law. 
 
 12 So speak, and so do, as those who are 
 to be judged by m the law of liberty. 
 
 13 For "the judgment will be without 
 mercy to him who nath shewed no mercy ; 
 while "mercy ||triumpheth at the judgment.

 destitute of daily food, 
 
 16 And r one ot you say to them, Depart 
 in peace, be warmed and satisfied, yet give 
 them not what is needful for the body ; 
 what doth it avail ? 
 
 _ 17 Thus also faith, if it have not works, 
 is of itself dead. 
 
 18 Nay, a man may say, Thou hast faith, 
 and I have works : shew me thy faith ||with- 
 out thy works, 'and I will shew thee my 
 faith by my works. 
 
 19 Thou believest that God is one; thou 
 doest nobly ! 'even the demons believe, 
 and tremble. 
 
 20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that 
 faith without works is dead ? 
 
 21 Was not Abraham our father justified 
 by works, "when he offered Isaac his son 
 upon the altar ? 
 
 22 ||Seest thou x thathis faith wrought with 
 his works, and by works was his faith made 
 perfect ? 
 
 23 And the scripture was fulfilled, which 
 saith, ^Abraham believed God, and it was 
 reckoned to him for righteousness: and he 
 was called *the Friend of God. 
 
 24 Ye see then that by works a man is 
 justified, and not by faith only. 
 
 25 And in like manner also "was not Ra- 
 hab the harlot justified by works, when she 
 received the messengers, and sent them out 
 by another way ? 
 
 26 For as the body without the ||spirit is 
 dead, so also faith without works is dead. 
 
 CHAPTER III. 
 
 1 We are not rashly or arrogantly to reprove others : 
 5 but rather to bridle the tongue, a little member, 
 but a powerful instrument of much good, and great 
 harm. 13 They who are truly wise are mild, and 
 peaceable, without, envying, and strife. 
 
 MY brethren, "become not many of you 
 teachers, 'knowing that as such we 
 shall receive the greater ||condemnation. 
 
 2 For c in many things we all err. d If any 
 one err not in word, 'he is a perfect man, 
 able also to bridle the whole body. 
 
 3 Behold, 'we put bits in the horses' 
 mouths, that they may obey us; and we 
 guide their whole body. 
 
 4 Behold also, the ships, though they are 
 so great, and are driven by fierce winds, 
 are yet guided by a very small helm, whi- 
 thersoever the director chooseth. 
 
 5 So also «the tongue is a little member, 
 and 'boasteth great things. Behold, how 
 great ||a forest a little fire kindleth ! 
 
 6 And 'the tongue is a fire, that world of 
 iniquity ! so is the tongue placed among 
 our members, that *it defileth the whole 
 body, and setteth on fire the tcourse of life ; 
 and it is set on fire by hell. 
 
 7 For every tkind of beasts, and of birds, 
 and of reptiles, and of things in the sea, is 
 tamed, and hath been tamed, by tmankind : 
 
 8 But the tongue can no man tame ; an 
 unruly evil, 'full of deadly poison ! 
 
 9 With it we bless God, the Father; and 
 with it we curse "men, m who are made in 
 the likeness of God. 
 
 10 From the same mouth proceedeth bless- 
 ing and cursing. My brethren, this ought 
 not so to be. 
 
Exhortation to godliness.

 The wickedness of the rich. 
 
 11 Doth the fountain pour forth from the 
 same ||source sweet water and bitter ? 
 
 12 Can the fig-tree, my brethren, bear 
 olive-berries? or a vine, figs? so no foun- 
 tain can yield both salt water and fresh. 
 
 13 "Who is wise and intelligent among 
 you ? let him shew from right conduct "his 
 works ''with meekness of wisdom. 
 
 14 But if ye have 'bitter envying and 
 strife in your hearts, do not 'glory, and lie 
 against the truth. 
 
 15 'This wisdom descendeth not from 
 above, but is earthly, ||sensual, devilish. 
 
 16 For 'where envying and strife are, 
 there is tconfusion and every evil work. 
 
 17 But "the wisdom that is from above is 
 first pure, then peaceful, gentle, easily per- 
 suaded, full of mercy and good fruits, ||with- 
 out partiality, *and without hypocrisy. 
 
 18 "And the fruit of righteousness is 
 sown in peace by those who cultivate peace. 
 
 CHAPTER IV. 
 
 1 We are to strive against covetousness, 4 intem- 
 perance, 5 pride, 11 detraction, and rash judgment 
 of others : 13 and not to be confident in the good 
 success of worldly business, but mindful ever of the 
 uncertainty of this life, to commit ourselves and 
 all our affairs to God's providence. 
 
 FROM whence come wars and || fight- 
 ings among you ? come they not hence, 
 from your || lusts "that war in your mem- 
 bers ? \ 
 
 2 Ye desireand have not: ye ||kill,envy, 
 and cannot obtain : ye fight and war, yet 
 ye have not, because ye ask not. 
 
 3 'Ye ask, and receive not, 'because ye 
 ask wickedly, that ye may expend it upon 
 your Hlusts. 
 
 4 ^Adulterers and adulteresses! know ye 
 not that c the friendship of the world is en- 
 mity with God ? ^whoever therefore will be 
 a friend of the world is an enemy of God. 
 
 5 Do ye think that the scripture saith in 
 vain, s Doth the spirit that dwelleth in us 
 incline ||to envy ? 
 
 6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore 
 he saith, 'God resisteth the proud, but giv- 
 eth grace to the humble. 
 
 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. 
 ■Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 
 
 8 *Draw near to God, and he will draw 
 near to you. 'Cleanse your hands, ye sin- 
 ners, and ""purify your hearts, ye "fickle- 
 minded ! 
 
 9 "Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep ! 
 let your laughter be turned to mourning, 
 and your joy to heaviness ! 
 
 10 ''Humble yourselves before the Lord, 
 and he will exalt you. 
 
 11 'Speak not against each other, brethren. 
 He that speaketh against his brother, r and 
 judgeth his brother, speaketh against the 
 law, and judgeth the law : but if thou judge 
 the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but 
 a judge. 
 
 12 There is one lawgiver, 'who is able to 
 save, and to destroy : 'who art thou that 
 judgest thy neighbour? 
 
 13 "Come now, ye who say, To-day ot- 
 to-morrow we will go into such a city, and 
 continue there a year, and buy, and sell, 
 and get gain : 
 
 14 (While ye know not what will be on 
 the mot-row ! For what is your life ? \\ *It 
 is a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, 
 and then vanisheth away :)

 15 Instead of saying, "If the Lord will, 
 and we live, we will do this, or that. 
 
 16 But now ye glory in your boastings : 
 *all such glorying is evil. 
 
 17 Therefore "to him who knoweth to do 
 good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. 
 
 CHAPTER V. 
 
 1 Wicked rich men are to fear God's vengeance. 
 7 We ought to be patient in afflictions, after the 
 example of the prophets, and Job: 12 to forbear 
 swearing, 13 to pray in adversity, to sing in pros- 
 perity : 16 to acknowledge mutually our several 
 faults, to pray one for another, 19 and to reduce a 
 straying brother to the truth. 
 
 COME "now, ye rich men, weep and howl 
 for your miseries that are coming upon 
 you. 
 
 2 Your riches are corrupted, and 'your 
 garments are moth-eaten. 
 
 3 Your gold and silver is cankered ; and 
 the rust of them will be a witness against 
 you, and will eat your flesh like fire. c Ye 
 nave heaped up treasures for the last 
 days. 
 
 4 Behold, d the hire of the labourers who 
 have reaped down your fields, which is 
 fraudulently kept back by you, crieth ; 
 and 'the cries of the reapers have entered 
 into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth. 
 
 5 f Ye have lived in luxury and licentious- 
 ness on the earth ; ye have pampered your 
 hearts, as for a day of slaughter. 
 
 6 g Ye have condemned, ye have murdered 
 [|the just ; and he doth not resist you. 
 
 7 ||Be patient therefore, brethren, until 
 the coming of the Lord ! Behold, the hus- 
 bandman looketh for the precious fruit of 
 the earth, and waiteth patiently for it, 
 until it receive 'the early and latter rain. 
 
 8 Be ye also patient; strengthen your 
 hearts ! 'for the coming of the Lord draw- 
 eth near. 
 
 9 *||Murmur not against each other, bre- 
 thren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the 
 Judge 'standeth before the door. 
 
 10 m Take, my brethren, the prophets, who 
 have spoken in the name of the Lord, as 
 an example of suffering, and of patience. 
 
 11 Behold, "we pronounce happy those 
 who endure. Ye have heard of "the pa- 
 tience of Job, and have seen the end of 
 his sufferings from the Lord; because 'the 
 Lord is very pitiful and compassionate. 
 
 12 But above all things, my brethren, 
 'swear not, either by heaven, or by the 
 earth, or by any other oath : but let your 
 yea, be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye 
 fall into condemnation. 
 
 13 Is any among you afflicted? let him 
 prav. Is any cheerful ? * let him sing 
 psalms. 
 
 14 Is any sick among you ? let him call 
 for the elders of the church; and let them 
 pray over him, 'anointing him with oil in 
 the name of the Lord : 
 
 15 And the prayer of faith will restore the 
 sick, and the Lord will raise him up; "and 
 if he have committed sins, they will be 
 forgiven him. 
 
 16 Confess your faults to each other, and 
 pray for each other, that ye may be healed. 
 *The effectual prayer of a righteous man 
 availeth much. 
 
 17 Elijah was a man 'A>f like nature with 
 us, and z he prayed ||earnestly that it might 
 not rain : "and it rained not on the earth 
 for three years and six months.

Exhortation to holiness, 
 
 18 And 'he prayed again, and the heaven

 IT THE FIRST GENERAL EPISTLE OF PETER. 
 
 CHAPTER I. 
 
 1 He blesseth God for his manifold spiritual graces : 
 10 shewing that the salvation in Christ is no news, 
 but a thing prophesied of old : 13 and exhorteth 
 them accordingly to a godly conversation, foras- 
 much as they are now born anew by the word of 
 God. 
 
 PETER., an apostle of Jesus Christ, to 
 the strangers "scattered throughout 
 Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and 
 Bithynia, 
 
 2 'Elect 'according to the foreknowledge 
 'of" God the Father, ^through the sanctifica- 
 tion of the Spirit, to obedience and 'sprink- 
 ling of the blood of Jesus Christ: -^Grace 
 and peace be multiplied to you. 
 
 3 ^Blessed be the God and Father of our 
 Lord Jesus Christ, who, ^according to his 
 tabundant mercy, 'hath begotten us again 
 to a living hope 'through the resurrection 
 of Jesus Christ from the dead, 
 
 4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and 
 undefiled, 'and unfading, ""reserved in hea- 
 ven ||for you, 
 
 5 "Who are kept by the power of God 
 through faith to salvation, made ready to 
 be revealed in the last time. 
 
 6 "In which ye greatly rejoice, though 
 now p for a season (if need be) 'ye are af- 
 flicted with various trials : 
 
 7 That 'this proof of your faith, being 
 much more precious than gold which pe- 
 risheth, yet ^is proved with fire, 'may be 
 found to praise, and honour, and glory, at 
 the appearing of Jesus Christ: 
 
 8 "Whom, though ye knew him not, ye 
 love; *in whom, though now ye see him 
 not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy un- 
 speakable, and full of glory: 
 
 9 Receiving ''the end of your faith, the 
 salvation of your souls. 
 
 10 Concerning which salvation the pro- 
 phets inquired and searched diligently, 
 who prophesied of the grace to be bestow- 
 ed on you : 
 
 11 Searching what, or what sort of time 
 "the Spirit of Christ that was in them made 
 known, when it testified beforehand 'the 
 sufferings of Christ, and the glory that 
 should follow. 
 
 12 'To whom it was revealed, that d not 
 for themselves, but for us they were minis- 
 tering the things which have now been an- 
 nounced to you by those who have preached 
 the gospel to you, with 'the Holy Spirit 
 sent down from heaven; ^things into which 
 angels desire to look. 
 
 13 Wherefore *gird up the loins of your 
 mind, ''be sober, and fix your whole hope 
 on the grace that will be brought to you 'at 
 the revelation of Jesus Christ: 
 
 14 As obedient children, "not conforming 
 yourselves to your former desires 'in your 
 ignorance: 
 
 15 ""But as he who hath called you is 
 holy, so be ye holy in all your conduct ;

 17 And if ye call him your Father, "who 
 without respect of persons judgeth accord- 
 ing to each one's work, p pass the time of 
 your 'sojourning here in fear: 
 
 18 Knowing that ye were not redeemed 
 with perishable things, as silver and gold, 
 from your vain course of life 'derived from 
 your fathers ; 
 
 19 But 'with the precious blood of Christ, 
 "as of a lamb without blemish and without 
 spot : 
 
 20 "Who was fore-ordained indeed before 
 the foundation of the world, but was mani- 
 fested *in these last times for you, 
 
 21 Who through him believe in God, *who 
 raised him from the dead, and "gave him 
 glory, so that your faith and hope are in 
 God. 
 
 22 And 'having purified your souls, in 
 obeying the truth through the Spirit, to 
 unfeigned 'brotherly love, love one an- 
 other with a pure heart fervently : 
 
 23 ''Being born again, not of perishable 
 seed, but of imperishable, 'through the 
 word of God, which liveth and remaineth 
 for ever. 
 
 24 ||For 'all flesh is as grass, and all the 
 glory of man as the flower of grass. The 
 grass withereth, and its flower falleth 
 away : 
 
 25 e But the word of the Lord endureth 
 for ever. "And this is the word which by 
 the gospel is preached to you. 
 
 CHAPTER II. 
 
 1 He dehortelh them, from the breach of love : 
 4 shewing that Christ is the foundation where- 
 upon they are built. 11 He beseecheth them also 
 to abstain from fleshly lusts, 13 to be obedient to 
 magistrates, 18 and teacheth servants how to obey 
 their masters, 20 patiently suffering for well- 
 doing, after the example of Christ. 
 
 "T AYING aside, therefore, all malice, 
 -*-^ and all guile, and hypocrisy, and 
 
 envy, and all slander, 
 
 2 'As new-born babes, desire the Hpure 
 'milk of the word, that ye may grow there-

 is gracious :

 'rejected indeed by men, but in the sight 
 of God chosen, and precious, 
 
 5 'Ye yourselves also, as living stones, 
 ||are built up e a spiritual house, "a holy 
 priesthood, to offer up 'spiritual sacrifices, 
 'acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 
 
 6 Wherefore also it is contained in the 
 scripture, 'Behold, I lay in Zion a chief 
 corner-stone, cjjosen, precious: and he who 
 trusteth to it \vill not be put to shame. 
 
 7 To you therefore who believe, is this 
 Hpreciousness: but to the disobedient; m the

 8 "And a stone of stumbling, and a rock

 9 But ye are 'a chosen race, r a royal 
 priesthood, 'a holy nation, 'a purchased 
 people j that ye should shew forth the per- 
 fections of him who hath called you from 
 "darkness into his wonderful light : 
 
 10 *Which once were not a people, but 
 are now the people of God : who had not 
 obtained mercy, but now have obtained 
 mercy. 
 
 11 Beloved, I beseech you, y as strangers 
 and pilgrims, abstain from those fleshly 
 lusts, "which war against the soul ; 
 
 12 'Having your conduct right among the 
 Gentiles : that, |]while they speak against 
 you as evil-doers, c they may by your good 
 works, which they shall behold, glorify 
 God d in the day of their visitation. 
 
 13 'Submit yourselves to every appoint- 
 ment of man for the Lord's sake: whether 
 it be to the king, as supreme ; 
 
 14 Or to governors, as those who are sent 
 by him 'to punish evildoers, and y to re- 
 ward those who do well. 
 
 15 For this is the will of God, that "with 
 well-doing ye put to silence the ignorance 
 of foolish men : 
 
 16 (As free, and not fusing your liberty 
 as a' cloak of wickedness, but as "servants 
 of God ;) 
 
 17 ( || Honour all men. m Love the brother- 
 hood. "Fear God. Honour the king. 
 
 18 "Servants, be subject to your masters 
 with all fear ; not only to the good and 
 gentle, but also to the perverse. 
 
 19 For this is ^acceptable, if a man from 
 conscience towards God endure grief, suf- 
 fering wrongfully. 
 
 20 For 'what glory is it, if, when ye com- 
 mit faults and are beaten, ye bear it pa- 
 tiently ? but if, when ye do well, and suf- 
 fer for it, ye bear it patiently, this is ac- 
 ceptable with God. 
 
 21 For r for this ye were called : because 
 'Christ also suffered for you, 'leaving you 
 an example, that ye should follow in his 
 steps : 
 
 22 "Who committed no sin, nor was de- 
 ceit found in his mouth : 
 
 23 "Who, when he was reviled, reviled 
 not again; when he suffered, threatened 
 not; but y ||committed himself to him who 
 judgeth righteously: 
 
 24 "Who himself bore our sins in his own 
 body ||qn the cross, "that we, being dead to 
 sins, might live to righteousness : 'by whose 
 stripes ye were healed. 
 
 25 For c ye were as sheep going astray ; 
 but are now returned ''to the shepherd 
 and guardian of your souls. 
 
 CHAPTER III. 
 
 1 He teacheth the duty of wives and husbands to each 
 other, 8 exhorting all men to unity and love, 14 and 
 to suffer persecution. 19 He declareth also the be- 
 nefits of Christ towards the old world. 
 
 LIKEWISE, °ye wives, be subject to 
 your own husbands ; that, if any dis- 
 regard the word, 'they may even without 
 the word e be won by the conduct of their 
 wives ; 
 
 2 "While they behold your chaste conduct 
 coupled with fear.

 3 c Let your ornaments be not those out- 
 ward ornaments, consisting in braided hair, 
 and wearing of gold, or in putting on cost- 
 ly apparel ; 
 
 4 But let it be /the hidden man of the 
 heart, adorned with the imperishable orna- 
 ment of a meek and quiet spirit, which is 
 precious in the sight of God. 
 
 5 For thus anciently the holy women also, 
 who trusted in God, adorned themselves, 
 being subject to their own husbands: 
 
 6 As Sarah obeyed Abraham, ^calling him 
 lord : whose tdaughters ye have become by 
 doing good and indulging no terror. 
 
 7 "Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with 
 them according to knowledge, giving ho- 
 nour to the wife, 'as to the weaker vessel, 
 and as being heirs with them of the grace 
 of life ; "that your prayers be not hindered. 
 
 8 Finally, 'be all of one mind, sympathis- 
 ing, cherishing brotherly m love, "compas- 
 sionate, courteous : 
 
 9 "Not rendering evil for evil, or railing 
 for railing : but on the contrary, blessing ; 
 knowing p that ye are called for this, to in- 
 herit blessing. 
 
 10 For «he who will love life, and see 
 good days, iet him restrain his tongue from 
 evil, and his lips from speaking guile : 
 
 11 Let him 'shun evil, and do good: 'let 
 him seek peace, and pursue it. 
 
 12 For the eyes of the Lord are upon the 
 righteous, "and his ears are open to their 
 prayers : but the face of the Lord is tagainst 
 those who do evil. 
 
 13 *And who is he that will harm you, if 
 ye be followers ||of that which is good ? 
 
 14 "Nay, if ye even suffer for the sake of 
 righteousness, ye are happy; and *fear not 
 their terror, nor be disturbed ; 
 
 15 But sanctify the Lord God in your 
 hearts: and °be ready always to give an 
 answer to every one who asketh you a rea- 
 son of the hope that is in you, with meek- 
 ness and || fear. 
 
 16 'Having a good conscience; c that, 
 while they speak against you, as evil-doers, 
 they may be put to shame who slander 
 your good behaviour in Christ. 
 
 17 For it is better, if such be the will of 
 God, that ye suffer for well-doing, than for 
 evil-doing. 
 
 18 For Christ also hath d once for all suf- 
 fered for sins, the just for the unjust, that 
 he might bring us to God, 'being put to 
 death indeed 'in the flesh, but g made alive 
 in the spirit: 
 
 19 By which also he went and "preached 
 to the spirits 'in prison ; 
 
 20 That were once disobedient, "when 
 the long-suffering of God waited in the 
 days of Noah, while 'the ark was prepar- 
 ing, '"in which a few (that is, eight souls) 
 were saved by water. 
 
 21 "The antitype to which, namely, im- 
 mersion, doth also now save us, (not the 
 putting away of "the filth of the flesh, ^but 
 the answer of a good conscience toward 
 God,) «by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: 
 
 22 Who is gone into heaven, and 'is on 
 the right hand of God; /angels, and au- 
 thorities, and powers being made subject 
 to him. 
 
 CHAPTER IV.

 of Christ, and the consideration, of the general end 
 
 171 
 
Motives of comfort under persecution. 
 
 tltat now approachelh : 12 and comforteth them 
 against persecution. 
 
 SINCE then -Christ hath suffered for us 
 in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise 
 with the same mind : (for 'he that suffered 
 in the flesh hath ceased from sin ;) 
 
 2 'That ye may no longer d live the rest 
 of your time in the flesh for the desires of 
 men, e but for the will of God. 
 
 3 -Tor the time past of our life may suf- 
 fice us e to have wrought the will of the 
 Gentiles, when we walked in lascivious- 
 ness, lusts, drunkenness, revellings, ban- 
 quetings, and abominable idolatries : 
 
 4 Wherein they think it strange that ye 
 run not with them to the same excess of 
 riot, "reviling you : 
 
 5 Who will give account to him who is 
 ready 'to judge the living and the dead. 
 
 6 For, for this cause 'was the gospel 
 preached also to those who are dead, that, 
 like all men, they may be judged indeed 
 in the flesh, but by the will of God live in 
 the spirit. 
 
 7 But 'the end of all things is at hand : 
 m be sober, therefore, and watch to prayer. 
 
 8 "And above all things have ardent love 
 among yourselves : for "love will cover a 
 multitude of sins. 
 
 9 ^Be hospitable towards each other,'with- 
 out murmuring. 
 
 10 'Minister to one another each the gift 
 which he hath received *as good stewards 
 of 'the manifold grace of God. 
 
 11 "If any one speak, let it be as speak- 
 ing the oracles of God ; *if anyone minis- 
 ter, let him do it as of the ability which 
 God giveth : that *God in all things may 
 be glorified through Jesus Chi'ist ; *to whom 
 be praise and dominion for ever and ever ! 
 Amen. 
 
 12 Beloved, be not surprised at ""the fiery 
 trial which is proving you, as though some 
 strange thing were befalling you : 
 
 m 13 'But rejoice, as 'ye share the suffer- 
 ings of Christ; "'that ye may also rejoice 
 with exultation at the revelation of his 
 glory. 
 
 14 'If ye are reproached for the name of 
 Christ, ye are happy ! for the Spirit of glo- 
 ry and of God resteth upon you. 'By them 
 indeed he is reviled, but by you he is glo- 
 rified. 
 
 15 But e let none of you suffer as a mur- 
 derer, or thief, or evil-doer, "or as a busy- 
 body. 
 
 16 But if Ac suffer as a Christian, let him 
 not be ashamed ; *Dut let him glorify God 
 on this account. 
 
 17 For the time is come ''when judgment 
 must begin at the house of God : ana 'if it

 The duty of elders, fyc 
 
 begin with us, m what will be the end of 
 those who obey not the gospel of God ? 
 
 18 "And if the righteous is hardly saved, 
 where will the ungodly and the sinner 
 appear ? 
 
 19 Wherefore, let those who suffer ac- 
 cording to the will of God, "commit their 
 souls to him in well-doing, as to a faithful 
 Creator. 
 
 CHAPTER V. 
 
 1 He exhorteth the elders to feed their Jloclis, 5 the 
 younger to obey, 8 and all to be sober, watchful, 
 and constant in the faith: 9 to resist the cruel ad- 
 versary the devil. 
 
 THE elders who are among you I ex- 
 hort, who am also "an elder, and 'a 
 witness of the sufferings of Christ, and 
 also 'a partaker of the glory which is to be 
 revealed : 
 
 2 d Tend the flock of God [| which is among 
 you, overseeing it, 'not from constraint, but 
 willingly ; 'not for base gain, but with a 
 ready mind ; 
 
 3 Nor as || e being lords over h God's herit- 
 age, but 'becoming examples to the flock. 
 
 4 And when 'the chief Shepherd appear- 
 eth, ye shall receive 'the ™unfading crown 
 of glory. 
 
 5 In like manner, ye younger men, sub- 
 mit yourselves to the elder. And "all of 
 you be subject to each other, and be clothed 
 with humility: for "God resisteth the proud, 
 and ^giveth grace to the humble. 
 
 6 'Humble yourselves therefore under the 
 mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you 
 in due time: 
 
 7 'Casting all your anxiety upon him; for 
 he careth tor you. 
 
 8 s Be sober, be watchful; because 'your 
 adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walk- 
 eth about, seeking whom he may devour: 
 
 9 "Whom resist steadfast in the faith, 
 ^knowing that the same sufferings are en- 
 dured by your brethren in the world. 
 
 10 But the God of all grace, ^who hath 
 called us to his eternal glory by Christ Je- 
 sus, after ye have suffered *a while, "make 
 you perfect, 'establish, strengthen, settle 
 you. 
 
 11 'To him be glory and dominion for 
 ever and ever ! Amen. 
 
 12 fBy Silvanus, a faithful brother, as I 
 consider, I have 'written to you briefly, 
 exhorting, and testifying 'that this is the 
 true grace of God wherein ye stand. 
 
 13 The church at Babylon, chosen to- 
 gether with you, saluteth you; and so doth 
 &Mark my son. 
 
 14 'Salute one another with a kiss of love. 
 'Peace be with you all who are in Christ 
 Jesus. Amen. 
 
 1 THE SECOND GENERAL EPISTLE OF PETER. 
 
 CHAPTER I. 
 
 1 Confirming them in hope of the increase of God's 
 graces, 5 he exhorteth them, by faith, and good 
 works, to make their calling sure: 12 whereof he 
 is careful to remind them, knowing that his death 
 is at hand: 16 and warneth them to be constant in 
 the faith of Christ, who is the true Son of God, by 
 the eye-witness of the apostles beholding his ma- 
 jesty, and by the testimony of the Father, and the 
 prophets.

 HOIMON Peter, a servant and apostle of 
 *"p Jesus Christ, to those who have ob- 
 tained "like precious faith with us through 
 the righteousness of our God and Saviour 
 Jesus Christ: J" 
 
 2 'Grace and peace be multiplied to you 
 through the knowledge of God, and of Je- 
 sus our Lord. 
 
 3 As his divine power hath given to us all 
 things pertaining to life and godliness, 
 
Exhortation to several, duties. 
 
 'through the knowledge of hiin ''who hath 
 called us by his glorious power: 
 
 4 '(By which have been given to us very 
 great and precious promises; that by these 
 ye may become ^ partakers of the divine 
 nature, ^escaping the corruption that is in 
 the world through lust;) 
 
 5 To this very thing ''give all diligence, 
 and add to your faith, virtue; and to vir- 
 tue, "knowledge ; 
 
 6 And to knowledge, temperance ; and 
 to temperance, patience ; and to patience, 
 godliness; 
 
 7 And to godliness, brotherly kindness : 
 and *to brotherly kindness, love. 
 
 8 For if these things be in you, and abound, 
 they render you neither tbarren 'nor un- 
 fruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Je- 
 sus Christ. 
 
 9 But he that lacketh these things ""is 
 blind, short-sighted, and hath forgotten 
 that he was "cleansed from his former sins. 
 
 10 Wherefore, brethren, be the more di- 
 ligent "to make your calling and election 
 sure : for doing these things, p ye shall ne- 
 ver fall : 
 
 11 For so an entrance will be granted to 
 you abundantly into the everlasting king- 
 dom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. 
 
 12 Wherefore *I will not neglect always 
 to remind of these things, 'though ye know 
 them, and are established in the present 
 truth. 
 
 13 And I think it meet, 'as long as I am 
 in this tent, 'to stir you up by putting you 
 in remembrance; 
 
 14 "Knowing that shortly I must put off 
 this my tent, as *our Lord Jesus Christ 
 showed to me. 
 
 15 And I will always endeavour that ye 
 may be able, after my decease, to have 
 these things in remembrance. 
 
 16 For we followed no "cunningly devised 
 fables, when we made known to you the 
 power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, 
 but *were eye-witnesses of his majesty. 
 
 17 For he received from God the Father 
 honour and glory, when these words came 
 to hitn from the exalted glory, "This is my 
 beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased ! 
 
 18 And these words coming from heaven 
 we heard, when we were with him in b the 
 holy mount. 
 
 19 || And we have as more sure the word 
 of prophecy; to which ye do well in taking 
 heed , as to 'a light shining in a dark place, 
 until the day dawn, and ''the day-star arise 
 in your hearts: 
 
 20 Knowing this especially, that 'no pro- 
 phecy of scripture is of the prophet's own 
 solution. 
 
 21 For ■''prophecy never came by the will 
 of man : s but holy men of God spoke as 
 they were moved by the Holy .Spirit. 
 
 CHAPTER II. 
 
 1 He foretelleth them of false teachers, shewing the 
 impiety and punishment both of them and their 
 followers: 7 from which the godly shall be deliver- 
 ed, as Lot was out of Sodom: 10 and more fully 
 describelh the manners of those, profane and fac • 
 tious seducers, whereby they may be the better 
 known, and avoided. 
 
 BUT "there were false prophets also 
 among the people, even as 'there will 
 be false teachers among you, who will 
 secretly bring in destructive factions, even 
 p2 
 
 CHAPTER II. Wicked principles of seducers described 
 
 'denying the Lord d who bought them, 'and 
 bring on themselves swift destruction. 
 
 2 (And many will follow their dissolute 
 ways; through whom the way of truth 
 will be reviled.) 
 
 3 And ■''through covetousness they will 
 *make traffic of you with feigned words : 
 but "their long-threatened sentence now 
 for a long time lingereth not, and their de- 
 struction doth not slumber. 
 
 4 For if God spared not 'angels *that sin- 
 ned, but 'cast them down to hell, and de- 
 livered them into chains of darkness, to be 
 reserved to judgment ; 
 
 5 And spared not the old world, but saved 
 m Noah with seven others, "a preacher of 
 righteousness, "while he brought a flood 
 on the world of the ungodly ; 
 
 6 And ''reducing to ashes, condemned to 
 an utter overthrow the cities of Sodom and 
 Gomorrah, 'making them an example to 
 those who should afterward live ungodly ; 
 
 7 And 'delivered righteous Lot, wearied 
 out by the profligate conduct of those law- 
 less men : 
 
 8 (For, 'through sight and hearing, the 
 righteous man who dwelt among them, 
 found his righteous soul tormented from 
 day to day with their unlawful deeds ;) 
 
 9 "The Lord knoweth how to deliver the 
 godly from trial, and to reserve the unright- 
 eous to the day of judgment to be punished : 
 
 10 And especially *those who walk after 
 the flesh in polluted desire, and despise ah 
 Hgovernment. "Presumptuous! self-willed! 
 they fear not to rail at dignities ! 
 
 11 While z angels, though greater in 
 strength and power, bring no railing ||ac- 
 cusation ||against them before the Lord. 
 
 12 But these, "like irrational, sensual 
 animals, born for capture and destruction, 
 rail at what they understand not, and will 
 utterly perish in their own corruption, 
 
 13 'And so receive the reward of their 
 unrighteousness : who regard 'revels by day 
 a pleasure; d spots and stains, ||revelling in 
 their deceits while e they feast with you ; 
 
 14 Having eyes full of tadultery, and that 
 cannot cease from sin; alluring unstable 
 souls : having ■'an heart trained to covet- 
 ous practices; children of a curse, 
 
 15 Forsaking the right way, they have 
 gone astray, following the way of ^Balaam 
 the son of Beor, who loved the wages of 
 unrighteousness ; 
 
 16 But was rebuked for his iniquity : the 
 dumb ass, speaking with man's voice, re- 
 strained the madness of the prophet. 
 
 17 h These are fountains without water, 
 clouds driven by a tempest ; for whom the 
 mist of darkness is reserved for ever. 
 
 18 For by 'speaking swelling words of 
 vanity, they allure through the lusts of the 
 flesh, through much wantonness, those who 
 *had ||really escaped from those who live in 
 error ; 
 
 19 Promising them 'liberty, while they 
 themselves are ""slaves of corruption : for 
 by whatever a man is overcome, by this he 
 is enslaved. 
 
 20 For "if after "escaping the pollutions 
 of the world ^through the knowledge of the 
 Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are 
 again entangled in them, and overcome, 
 their last state is worse than their first.

 CHAPTER III. 
 
 1 He assurelh them of the certainly of Christ's coming 
 to judgment, against those scorners who dispute 
 against it: 8 warning the godly, for the long pa- 
 tience of God, to hasten their repentance. 10 He 
 describeth also the manner how the world shall be 
 destroyed: 11 exhorteth them, from the expectation 
 thereof, to all holiness of life: 15 and again, to 
 think the patience of God to tend to their salvation, 
 as Paul wrote to them in his epistles. 
 
 THIS second epistle, beloved, I now 
 write to you ; in both which "I stir up 
 your pure minds by way of remem- 
 brance : 
 
 2 That ye may remember the words for- 
 merly spoken by the holy prophets, 'and 
 the command of us the apostles of the 
 Lord and Saviour : 
 
 3 ' Knowing this especially, that there 
 will come in the last days scoffers, ''walk- 
 ing according to their own lusts, 
 
 4 And saying, "Where is the promise of 
 his coming? for since the fathers fell 
 asleep, all things continue as they were 
 from the beginning of the creation. 
 
 5 For of this they choose to be ignorant, 
 that ^by the word of God there was of old 
 a heaven, and an earth ^consisting of water 
 and through water : 
 
 6 'Whereby the world that then was, 
 being deluged with water, perished : 
 
 7 But 'the heavens and the earth, which 
 are now, by the same word are kept in 
 store, reserved for *fire against the day of 
 judgment and perdition of ungodly men. 
 
 8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this 
 one thing, that one day is with the Lord as

 a thousand years, and 'a thousand years as 
 one day. 
 
 9 m The Lord doth not delay as to his 
 promise, as some consider it delay; but "is 
 long-suffering towards us, "not wishing that 
 any should perish, but p that all should 
 come to repentance. 
 
 10 But 'the day of the Lord will come as 
 a thief in the night ; in which the heavens 
 will pass away with a crash, and the ele- 
 ments will burn and be dissolved, and the 
 earth and the works in it will be burned up. 
 
 11 Since then all these things are dis- 
 solved, what sort of persons should ye be 
 'in all holy conduct and godliness, 
 
 12 'Looking for and |]earnestly desiring 
 the coming of the day of God, in which 
 the heavens will "be dissolved in fire, and 
 the elements will burn and x melt ? 
 
 13 But, according to his promise, we look 
 for ?new heavens and a new earth, wherein 
 dwelleth righteousness. 
 
 14 Wherefore, beloved, since ye look for 
 such things, be diligent *that ye may be 
 found by him in peace, without spot, and 
 blameless. 
 
 15 And consider "the long-suffering of our 
 Lord salvation ; even as our beloved bro- 
 ther Paul also, according to the wisdom 
 given to him, hath written to you ; 
 
 16 As also in all his epistles, 'speaking in 
 them of these things ; in which are some 
 things hard to be understood, which the 
 unlearned .and unstable wrest, as they do 
 also the other scriptures, to their own de- 
 struction. 
 
 17 Ye therefore, beloved, 'since ye know 
 these things before, rf beware lest ye also, 
 being led away with the error of the wick- 
 ed, fall from your own steadfastness. 
 
 18 'But grow in grace, and in the know- 
 ledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. 
 ■To him be glory both now and for ever. 
 Amen. 
 
 •[[THE FIRST GENERAL EPISTLE OF JOHN. 
 
 CHAPTER I. 
 
 1 He describeth the person of Christ, in whom we have 
 eternal life, by a communion with God: 5 to which 
 we must adjoin holiness of life, to testify the truth 
 of that our communion and profession of faith, as 
 also to assure us of the forgiveness of our sins by 
 Christ's death. 
 
 THAT "which was from the beginning, 
 which we have heard, which we have 
 seen with our eyes, 'which we have looked 
 upon, and 'our hands have handled, of the 
 Word of life ; 
 
 2 (For d the life 'was manifested, and we 
 have seen it, ■''and bear witness, ? and an- 
 nounce to you the eternal life Vhich was 
 with the Father, and was manifested to us ;) 
 
 3 'That which we have seen and heard 
 we announce to you, that ye also may have 
 fellowship with us : and indeed ""our fellow- 
 ship is with the Father, and with his Son 
 Jesus Christ. 
 
 4 And these things we write to you, 'that 
 your joy may be full. 
 
 5 m This then is the message which we 
 have heard from him, and announce to 
 you, that "God is light, and in him there is 
 no darkness.

 Son cleanseth us from all sin. 
 
 8 9 If we say that we have no sin, we de- 
 ceive ourselves, r and the truth is not in us. 
 
 9 s If we acknowledge our sins, he is faith- 
 ful and just to forgive us our sins, and to 
 'cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 
 
 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we 
 make him a liar, and his word is not 
 in us. 
 
 CHAPTER II. 
 
 I He comfortelh them against the sins of infirmity. 
 3 Rightly to know God is to keep his command- 
 ments, 9 to love our brethren, 15 and not to love 
 the world. 18 We must beware of seducers : 20 
 from whose deceits the godly are safe, preserved by 
 perseverance in faith, and holiness of life. 
 
 MY children;*! write thus to you, that 
 ye sin not. And if any one sin, "we 
 have an advocate with the Father, Jesus 
 Christ the righteous : 
 2 And 'he is a propitation for our sins : 
 
Brotherly love commended. 
 
 and not for ours only, but c also for those 
 of the whole world. 
 
 3 And by this we know that we know 
 him, if we keep his commandments. 
 
 4 ''He that saith, I know him, and keep- 
 eth not his commandments, *is a liar, and 
 the truth is not in him. 
 
 5 But 'whoever keepeth his word, g in him 
 the love of God is truly perfected : A by this 
 we know that we are in him. 
 
 6 'He that saith he remaineth in him, 
 'ought himself also so to walk as he walked. 
 
 7 Brethren, 'I write to you no new 
 commandment, but an old commandment 
 "'which ye had from the beginning: The 
 old commandment is the word which ye 
 have heard from the beginning. 
 
 8 Again, "a new commandment I write to 
 you, which is true in him and in you: "be- 
 cause the darkness is passing, and p the true 
 light already shineth. 
 
 9 «He that saith he is in the light, and 
 hateth his brother, is in darkness until now. 
 _ 10 r He that loveth his brother remaineth 
 in the light, and 'there is in him no tocca- 
 sion of stumbling. 
 
 11 But he that hateth his brother is in 
 darkness, and 'walketh in darkness, and 
 knoweth not whither he goeth, because 
 the darkness hath blinded Ins eyes. 
 
 12 I write to you, children, because "your 
 sins are forgiven you through his name. 
 
 13 I write to you, fathers, because ye have 
 known him *who is from the beginning. I 
 write to you, young men, because ye have 
 overcome the wicked one. I write to you, 
 children.because ye have known the Father. 
 
 14 I have written to you, fathers, because 
 ye have known him who is from the begin- 
 ning. I have written to you, young men, 
 because y ye are strong, and the word of 
 God remaineth in you, and ye have over- 
 come the wicked one. 
 
 15 2 Love not the world, nor that which is 
 in the world. "If any one love the world, 
 the love of the Father is not in him. 
 
 16 For all that is in the world, the desire 
 of the flesh, 'and the desire of the eyes, 
 and the pride of life, is not of the Father, 
 but is of the world. 
 
 17 And 'the world passeth away, and its 
 desire : but he who doeth the will of God 
 remaineth for ever. 
 
 18 ^Children, 'it is the last time : and as 
 ye have heard that the f antichrist cometh, 
 *even now there have risen many anti- 
 christs; whence we know "that it is the 
 last time. 
 
 19 'They went out from us, but they were 
 not of us ; for *if they had been of us, they 
 would have continued with us : but they 
 went out, 'that it might be made manifest 
 that they were not all of us. 
 
 20 But m ye have an anointing "from the 
 Holy One, and "know all things. 
 
 21 I have not written to you because ye 
 know not the truth, but because ye know 
 it, and that no lie is from the truth. 
 
 22 p Who is the liar but he that denieth 
 that Jesus is the Christ ? He is the anti- 
 christ, who denieth the Father and the Son. 
 
 23 'Whoever denieth the Son, he also 
 hath not the Father: r he who acknowledg- 
 ed the Son hath also the Father. 
 
 24 Let that therefore remain in you ,'which 
 ye have heard from the beginning. If what

 GWs singular love toward us. 
 
 ye have heard from the beginning remain 
 in you, 'ye also will remain in the Son, 
 and in the Father. 
 
 25 "And this is the promise which he hath 
 promised us, eternal life. 
 
 26 I have written these things to you 
 Concerning those who seduce you. 
 
 27 But "the anointing which ye have re- 
 ceived of him remaineth in you, and z yc 
 need not that any one teach you: but as 
 the same anointing "teacheth you of all 
 things, and is truth, and is no lie, even as 
 it hath taught you, ye shall remain in ||him. 
 
 28 And now, children, remain in him ; 
 that 'when he shall appear, we may have 
 confidence, 'and not be ashamed before 
 him at his coming. 
 
 29 d If ye know that he is righteous, ||ye 
 know that 'every one who doeth righteous- 
 ness is born of him. 
 
 CHAPTER III. 
 
 1 He declareth the singular love of God towards us, 
 in making us his sons : 3 who therefore ought obe- 
 diently to keep his commandments, 11 as also bro- 
 therly to love one another. 
 
 "DEHOLD what love the Father hath 
 -L* bestowed upon us, that "we should be 
 called children of God ! therefore the world 
 knoweth us not, 'because it knew him not. 
 
 2 Beloved, 'now we are children of God, 
 and d it is not yet made manifest what we 
 shall be : but we know that, when it is 
 made manifest, 'we shall be like him ; for 
 Ave shall see him as he is. 
 
 3 *And every one who hath this hope in 
 him purifieth himself, as he is pure. 
 
 4 Whoever committeth sin transgresseth 
 also the law; for *sin is the transgression 
 of the law. 
 
 5 And ye know *that he was manifested 
 Ho take away our sins ; and'in him is no sin. 
 
 6 Whoever remaineth in him sinneth not: 
 "whoever sinneth hath not seen him, nor 
 known him. 
 
 7 Children, "let no one seduce you : "he 
 that doeth righteousness is righteous, as he 
 is righteous. 
 
 8 p He that committeth sin is of the devil ; 
 for the devil sinneth from the beginning. 
 For this purpose the Son of God was ma- 
 nifested, 'that he might destroy the works 
 of the devil. 
 
 9 'Whoever is born of God doth not com- 
 mit sin ; for 'his seed remaineth in him ; and 
 he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 
 
 10 In this are manifest the children of 
 God, and the children of the devil : 'who- 
 ever doeth not righteousness is not of God, 
 "nor he that loveth not his brother. 
 
 11 For *this is the !|message that ye heard 
 from the beginning, "that we should love 
 one another. 
 
 12 Not as s Cain was of the wicked one, 
 and slew his brother. And why did he 
 slay him ? Because his own works were 
 wicked, and his brother's righteous. 
 
 13 Wonder not, my brethren, if "the 
 world hate you. 
 
 14 'We know that we have passed from 
 death to life, because we love the brethren. 
 'He that loveth not his brother, remaineth 
 in death. 
 
 1 5 ''Whoever hateth his brother, is a mur- 
 derer : and ye know that 'no murderer hath 
 eternal life remaining in him. 
 
 16 'By this we know the love of God, 
 
 175 
 
Ji warning against false teachers. 
 
 because he laid down his life for us: and 
 we ought to lay down our lives for our 
 brethren. 
 
 17 But ^whoever hath this world's pos- 
 sessions, and seeth his brother have need, 
 and shutteth his heart against him, "how 
 dwelleth the love of God in him ? 
 
 18 My children, 'let us not love in word, 
 nor in tongue, but in deed and in truth. 
 
 19 And hereby we know Hhat we are of 
 the truth, and shall tassure our hearts be- 
 fore him. 
 
 20 'For if our heart condemn us, God is 
 greater than our heart, and knoweth all 
 things. 
 
 21 ""Beloved, if our heart condemn us 
 not, "we have confidence towards God. 
 
 22 And "whatever we ask, we receive of 
 him, because we keep his commandments, 
 p and do what is pleasing in his sight. 
 
 23 'And this is his commandment; That 
 we should believe on the name of his Son 
 Jesus Christ, r and love one another, 'as he 
 gave us commandment. 
 
 24 And 'he that keepeth his command- 
 ments, "remaineth in him, and he in him. 
 And x from this we know that he remaineth 
 in us, from the Spirit which he hath given us. 
 
 CHAPTER IV. 
 
 1 He wameth them not to believe all teachers, who 
 boast of the Spirit, but to try them by the rules of 
 the general faith: 7 and by many reasons exhorteth 
 to brotherly love. 
 
 BELOVED, "believe not every spirit, 
 but 'prove the spirits whether they are 
 from God : because c many false prophets 
 are gone forth into the world. 
 
 2 By this ye know the Spirit of God : 
 d Every spirit that acknowledgeth that Je- 
 sus Christ is come in the flesh, is of God : 
 
 3 And 'every spirit that acknowledgeth 
 not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh, 
 is not of God. And this is the spirit of 
 antichrist, of which ye have heard that it 
 cometh, and is 'even now already in the 
 world. 
 
 4 e Ye are of God, children, and have 
 overcome them : because greater is he that 
 is in you, than "he that is in the world. 
 
 5 *'They are of the world: therefore they 
 speak of the world, and "the world heareth 
 them. 
 
 6 We are of God. ! He that knoweth 
 God, heareth us ; he that is not of God, 
 heareth us not. By this we know m the 
 spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. 
 
 7 "Beloved, let us love one another : for 
 love is of God ; and every one who loveth 
 is born of God, and knoweth God. 
 
 8 He that loveth not, "knoweth not God ; 
 for y God is love. 
 
 9 «In this the love of God is manifested 
 towards us, that God hath sent his only- 
 begotten Son into the world, 'that we 
 might live through him. 
 
 10 In this is love, 'not that we loved God, 
 but that he loved us, and sent his Son 'to 
 be a propitiation for our sins. 
 
 11 Beloved, "if God so loved us, we 
 ought also to love one another. 
 
 12 *No one hath ever seen God. If we 
 love one another, God dwelleth in us, and 
 "his love is perfected in us. 
 
 13 z By this we know that we dwell in 
 him, and he in us, because he hath given 
 us of his Spirit.

 The witnesses of our faith 
 
 14 And "we have seen and testify, that 
 the Father hath sent the Son to be the 
 Saviour of the world. 
 
 15 'Whoever acknowledgeth that Jesus 
 is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, 
 and he in God. 
 
 16 And we have known and believed the 
 love that God hath towards us. d God is 
 love: and 'he that dwelleth in love, dwell- 
 eth in God, and God in him. 
 
 17 In this is tour love made perfect, that 
 Ave may have boldness in the day of judg- 
 ment : ^because as he is, so are we in this 
 world. 
 
 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect 
 love casteth out fear: because fear hath 
 torment. He that feareth, A is not made 
 perfect in love. 
 
 19 We love him, because he first loved 
 us. 
 
 20 'If a man say, I love God, and hate 
 his brother, he is a liar. For he that loveth 
 not his brother, whom he hath seen, how 
 can he love God, *whom he hath not seen ? 
 
 21 And 'this commandment we have from 
 him, That he who loveth God, love his 
 brother also. 
 
 CHAPTER V. 
 
 1 He that loveth God loveth his children, and keepeth 
 his commandments: 3 which to the faithful are 
 light, and not grievous. 9 Jesus is the Son of 
 God, able to save us, 14 and to hear our prayers, 
 which we make for ourselves, and for others. 
 
 ~^7"HOEVER "believeth that "Jesus is 
 »» the Christ, is 'born of God: d and 
 every one who loveth him that begot, lov- 
 eth him also that is begotten of him. 
 
 2 By this we know that we love the 
 children of God, when we love God, and 
 keep his commandments. 
 
 3 'For this is the love of God, that we 
 keep his commandments; and 'his com- 
 mandments are not burdensome. 
 
 4 For ^whatever is born of God, over- 
 cometh the world : and this is the victory 
 that overcometh the world, even our faith. 
 
 5 Who is he that overcometh the world, 
 but "he.that believeth that Jesus is the Son 
 of God ? 
 
 6 This is he that came *by water and 
 blood, Jesus Christ; not by water only, 
 but by water and blood. *And it is the 
 Spirit that beareth witness, because the 
 Spirit is truth. 
 
 7 For there are three that bear witness 
 in heaven, the Father, 'the Word, and the 
 Holy Spirit : m and these three are one. 
 
 8 And there are three that bear witness 
 in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the 
 blood : and these three agree in one. 
 
 9 If we receive "the testimony of men, 
 the testimony of God is greater : "for this 
 is the testimony of God which he hath 
 borne, concerning his Son. 
 
 10 He that believeth on the Son of God 
 'hath the testimony in himself: he that be- 
 lieveth not God, 'hath made him a liar, 
 because he believeth not the testimony 
 that God hath borne concerning his Son. 
 
 11 'And this is the testimony, that God 
 hath given to us^ternal life : and 'this life 
 is in his Son. 
 
 12 'He that hath the Son, hath life; and 
 he that hath not the Son of God, hath not 
 life. 
 
 13 "These things I have written to you 
 
The apostle exhortelh to perseverance 
 
 who believe on the name of the Son of 
 God; "that ye may know that ye have 
 eternal life, and that ye may believe on 
 (he name of the Son of God. 
 
 14 And this is the confidence that we 
 have Bin him, that "if we ask any thing 
 according to his will, he heareth us : 
 
 15 And if we know that he hear us, in 
 whatever we ask, we know that we have 
 the petitions that we desired of him. 
 
 16 If any one see his brother sin a sin 
 which is not to death, he shall ask, and 
 s he will give him life, namely, to those 
 who sin not to death. "There is a sin to 
 death: 'I do not say that he shall pray 
 for it.

 1 He exhorteth a certain honourable matron, with her 
 children, to persevere in Christian love and belief, 
 8 lest they lose the reward of their former profes- 
 sion : 10 and to have nothing to do with those 
 seducers that bring not the true doctrine of Christ 
 Jesus. 
 
 THE elder to the elect lady, and her 
 children, "whom I love in the truth; 
 and not I only, but also all those who have 
 known 'the truth, 
 
 2 On account of the truth which dwelleth 
 in us, and will be with us for ever. 
 
 3 "Grace tbe with you, mercy, and peace 
 from God the Father, and from the Lord 
 Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, u in 
 truth and love. 
 
 4 I rejoiced greatly, that I found some 
 of thy children 'walkingin truth, as we have 
 received a commandment from the Father. 
 
 5 And now I beseech thee, lady, ■''not as 
 though I wrote to thee a new command- 
 ment, but that which we had from the be- 
 ginning, ff that we love one another. 
 
 6 And *this is love, that we walk after 
 his commandments. This is the command-

 dealing of ambitious Diotrephes on the contrary

 mayest prosper and be in health, as thy 
 soul prospered!. 
 
 3 For I rejoice greatly, when brethren 
 came and testified of thy truth, how 'thou 
 walkest in the truth. 
 
 4 I have no greater joy than to hear that

 5 Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatever 
 thou doest to the brethren, and to the 
 strangers ; 
 
 6 Who have borne witness of thy love 
 before the church : whom if thou bring 
 forward on their journey tin a manner 
 worthy of God, thou wilt do well :

 good is of God : but he that doeth evil hath

Exhortation to constancy, 
 
 JUDE. 
 
 and faithfulness toward God 
 
 . t THE GENERAL EPISTLE OF JUDE. 
 
 He exhorteth them to be constant in the profession of 
 the faith. 4 False teachers are crept in to seduce 
 them : for whose damnable doctrine and manners 
 horrible punishment is prepared : 20 whereas the 
 godly, by the assistance of the Holy Spirit, and 
 prayers to God, may persevere, and grow in grace, 
 and keep themselves, and recover others out of the 
 snares of those deceivers. 
 
 JUDE, a servant of Jesus Christ, and 
 "brother of James, to those who are 
 sanctified by God the Father, and ''pre- 
 served in Jesus Christ, and 'called : 
 
 2 Mercy, and ''peace, and love, be mul- 
 tiplied to you. 
 
 3 Beloved, while giving all diligence 
 to write to you 'concerning the common 
 salvation, I thought it necessary for me in 
 writing to you, to exhort you to f contend 
 earnestly for the faith which hath once 
 been delivered to the saints. 
 
 4 ff For certain men have crept in, A who 
 were before appointed to this condemna- 
 tion, ungodly men, turning 'the grace of 
 our God into lasciviousness, and 'denying 
 the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus 
 Christ. _ 
 
 5 I will therefore remind you of this, 
 though ye already know it, that m the Lord, 
 having saved the people from the land 
 of Egypt, afterward "destroyed those who 
 believed not. 
 
 6 And "the angels who kept not their 
 dignity, but left their own habitation, ? he 
 hath kept in everlasting chains under dark- 
 ness 'to the judgment of the great day : 
 
 7 As 'Sodom and Gomorrah, and the 
 cities about them in like manner, giving 
 themselves up to fornication, and going 
 after tstrange flesh, are set forth as an ex- 
 ample, suffering the vengeance of eternal 
 fire. 
 
 8 'Likewise also these dreamers defile 
 the flesh, despise dominion, and 'rail at 
 dignities. 
 
 9 Yet "Michael the archangel, when con 
 tending with the devil, he disputed about 
 the body of Moses, ^ventured not to bring 
 against him a railing accusation, but said, 
 ''The Lord rebuke thee ! 
 
 10 *But these rail at things which they 
 know not : but what they know sensually, 
 like irrational animals, in these things they 
 corrupt themselves.

 seest, write in a book, and send it to the

 His message to the churches. 
 
 3 And hast endured, and hast patience, 
 and for my name's sake hast laboured, and 
 hast / not fainted. 
 
 4 Yet, I have this against thee, that thou 
 hast left thy first love. 
 
 5 Remember then whence thou art fallen, 
 and repent, and do thy first works : *else 
 I will come to thee quickly, and will re- 
 move thy lamp-stand from its place, unless 
 thou repent. 
 
 6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the 
 deeds of ft the Nicolaitanes, which I also 
 hate. 
 
 7 'He that hath an ear, let him hear what 
 the Spirit saith to the churches ; To him 
 who overcometh I will give *to eat of ' the 
 tree of life, which is in the midst of the 
 paradise of God. 
 
 8 And to the messenger of the church in 
 Smyrna, write; These things saith m the 
 first and the last, who was dead, and is 
 alive ; 
 
 9 n I know thy works, and affliction, and 
 poverty, (but thou art "rich,) and / know 
 the reviling of p those who say they are 
 Jews, and are not, 'but are the synagogue 
 of Satan. 
 
 10 'Fear nothing of what thou art to suf- 
 fer. Behold, the devil will cast some of 
 you into prison, that ye may be tried; and 
 ye will have affliction ten days. 'Be faith- 
 ful to death, and I will give thee 'the crown 
 of life. 
 
 11 "He that hath an ear, let him hear 
 what the Spirit saith to the churches ; He 
 that overcometh, shall not be harmed by 
 *the second death. 
 
 12 And to the messenger of the church in 
 Pergamos write; These things saith y he 
 who hath the sharp two-edged sword ; 
 
 13 *I know thy works, and where thou 
 dwellest, "where is the seat of Satan : and 
 thou holdest fast my name, and hast not 
 denied my faith, even in the days in which 
 Antipas was my faithful witness, who was 
 slain among you, where Satan dwelleth. 
 
 14 But I have a few things against thee, 
 that thou hast there those who hold the 
 doctrine of *Balaam, who taught Balak to 
 throw a stumbling-block before the child- 
 ren of Israel, c to eat idol-sacrifices, d and 
 to commit fornication. 
 
 15 So hast thou also those who hold the 
 doctrine 'of the Nicolaitanes, [|which thing 
 I hate. 
 
 16 Repent ; or else I will come to thee 
 quickly, and /will fight against them with 
 the sword of my mouth. 
 
 17 ? He that hath an ear, let him hear 
 what the Spirit saith to the churches : To 
 him who overcometh I will give to eat of 
 the hidden manna, and will give him a 
 white stone, and on the stone A a new name 
 written, which no one knoweth, but he that 
 receiveth it. 
 
 18 And to the messenger of the church 
 in Thyatira, write ; These things saith the 
 Son of God, "who hath his eyes like a flame 
 of fire, and whose feet are like fine brass ; 
 
 19 *I know thy works, and love, and 
 service, and faith, and thy patience, and 
 thy works ; and the last to be more than 
 the first : 
 
 20 But I have a few things against thee, 
 that thou sufferest the woman 'Jezebel, 
 who calleth herself a prophetess, to teach 
 
 179 
 
 
The Spirit's message 
 
 and to seduce my servants '"to commit for- 
 nication, and to eat idol-sacrifices. 
 
 21 And I gave her space "to repent of her 
 fornication, and she repented not. 
 
 22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and 
 those who commit adultery with her into 
 great affliction, unless they repent of their 
 deeds. 
 
 23 And I will slay her children with 
 death ; and all the churches shall know 
 that "I am he that searcheth the reins and 
 hearts : and ''I will give to each of you ac- 
 cording to your works. 
 
 24 But to you I say, and to the rest in 
 Thyatira, who have not this doctrine, and 
 have not known the depths of Satan, (as 
 they speak;) «I will put upon you no other 
 burden: 
 
 25 But 'what ye have, hold fast till I 
 come. 
 
 26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth 
 'my works to the end, ' to him will I give 
 power over the nations : 
 
 27 ("And he shall rule them with a rod 
 of iron; as the vessels of a potter they 
 shall be dashed in pieces:) as I also have 
 received of my Father. 
 
 28 And I will give him *the morning-star. 
 
 29 ''He that hath an ear, let him hear 
 what the Spirit saith to the churches. 
 
 CHAPTER III. 
 
 2 The messenger of the church of Sardis is reproved, 
 3 exhorted to repent, and threatened if he do not 
 repent. 8 The messenger of the church of Phila- 
 delphia 10 is approved for his diligence and pa- 
 tience. 15 The messenger of Laodicea rebuked, for 
 being neither hot nor cold, 19 and admonished to 
 be more zealous. 20 Christ standeth at the door 
 and knocketh. 
 
 AND to the messenger of the church in 
 Sardis write; These things saith he 
 °who hath the seven Spirits of God, and 
 the seven stars ; J I know thy works, that 
 thou hast a name that thou livest, c and 
 art dead. 
 
 2 Be watchful, and strengthen what is 
 remaining, which is about to die: for I 
 have not found thy works perfect before 
 God. 
 
 3 ^Remember therefore how thou hast re- 
 ceived and heard, and hold fast, and 're- 
 pent. 'If therefore thou do not watch, I 
 will come upon thee like a thief, and thou 
 shalt not know at what hour I will come 
 upon thee. 
 
 4 Thou hast e n few names even in Sardis 
 that have not 'defiled their garments; and 
 they shall walk with me 'in white gar- 
 ments : for they are worthy. 
 
 5 He that overcometh 'shall be clothed 
 in white garments; and I will not 'blot 
 out his name from the "book of life, but "I 
 will acknowledge his name before my Fa- 
 ther, and before his angels. 
 
 6 "He that hath an ear, let him hear what 
 the Spirit saith to the churches. 
 
 7 And to the messenger of the church in 
 Philadelphia write ; These things saith p the 
 Holy, 'the True One, he who hath "the key 
 of David, 'he who openeth, and none shut 
 teth; and 'shutteth, and none openeth: 
 
 8 "I know thy works : behold, I have set 
 before thee *an open door, and none can 
 shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and 
 hast kept my word, and hast not denied 
 my name. 
 
 9 Behold, I will make *those of the syna-

 gogue of Satan, who say they are Jews, 
 and are not, but lie ; behold, "I will make 
 them to come and fall down before thy 
 feet, and know that I have loved thee. 
 
 10 Because thou hast kept the word of 
 my patience, "I also will keep thee from 
 the Hour of trial, which is coming on 'all 
 the world, to try those who dwell c on the 
 earth. 
 
 11 Behold, ''I come quickly: 'hold fast 
 what thou hast, that no one take f thy crown. 
 
 12 Him who overcometh, I will make s & 
 pillar in the temple of my God, and he 
 shall go no more out: and "1 will write 
 upon him the name of my God, and the 
 name of the city of my God, the '"new Je- 
 rusalem, which cometh down out of heaven 
 from my God, 'and my new name. 
 
 13 'He that hath an ear, let him hear what

 14 And to the messenger of the church 
 ||of the Laodiceans write ; "These things 
 saith the Amen, "the faithful and true Wit- 
 ness, "the beginning of the creation of God ; 
 
 15 p l know thy works, that thou art nei- 
 ther cold nor hot : I would thou wert cold 
 or hot ! 
 
 16 So then, because thou art lukewarm, 
 and neither cold nor hot, I will cast thee 
 from my mouth : 
 
 17 Because thou sayest, ? I am rich, and 
 increased in goods, and have need of no- 
 thing; and knowest not that thou art 
 wretched, and miserable, and poor, and 
 blind, and naked: 
 
 18 I counsel thee 'to buy of me gold tried 
 in the fire, that thou mayest be rich ; and 
 'white garments, that thou mayest be 
 clothed, and that the shame of thy naked- 
 ness do not appear ; and eye-salve to anoint 
 thine eyes, that thou mayest see. 
 
 19 'As many as I love, I rebuke and 
 chasten : be zealous therefore, and repent. 
 
 20 Behold, "I stand at the door, and 
 knock : *If any one hear my voice, and 
 open the door, *I will come in to him, and 
 will sup with him, and he with me. 
 
 21 To him that overcometh I 'will grant 
 to sit with me in my throne, even as I also 
 overcame, and have sat down with my Fa- 
 ther in his throne. 
 
 22 "He that hath an ear, let him hear what 
 the Spirit saith to the churches. 
 
 CHAPTER IV. 
 
 2 John seeth the throne of God in heaven. 4 The four 
 and twenty elders. 6 The four animals full of eyes 
 before and behind. 10 The elders lay down their 
 crowns, and worship him that sat on the throne. 
 
 AFTER this I looked, and behold, a 
 door was opened in heaven : and "the 
 first voice which I heard, was as of a 
 trumpet talking with me ; which said, 'Come 
 up hither, c and I will shew thee that which 
 must be hereafter. 
 
 2 And immediately d I was in the Spirit : 
 and. behold, e a throne was set in heaven, 
 and one sat on the throne. 
 
 3 And he that sat was in appearance like 
 a jasper and a sardine stone : ^and there 
 wasarainbowaround the throne, in appear- 
 ance like an emecald. 
 
 4 ff And around the throne were four and 
 twenty seats; and on the seats I saw 
 the four and twenty elders sitting, "clothed 
 in white garments ; 'and they had on their 
 heads crowns of gold. 
 
The book sealed with seven seals. 
 
 5 And from the throne proceeded light- 
 nings, and thunderings, and voices. 'And 
 there were seven lamps of fire burning 
 before the throne, which are m the seven 
 Spirits of God. 
 
 6 And before the throne there was "a sea 
 of glass like crystal : "And in the midst 
 of the throne, and around the throne, were 
 four animals full of eyesbefore*'and behind. 
 
 7 « And the first animal was like a lion, 
 and the second animal like a calf, and the 
 third animal had a face as a man, and the 
 fourth animal was like a flying eagle. 
 
 8 And the four animals had each of them 
 r six wings ; around and 'within they were 
 full of eyes : and tthey rest not day and 
 night, saying, 'Holy, holy, holy, "Lord God 
 Almighty, I \vho was, and is, and is to come! 
 
 9 And when the animals give glory, and 
 honour, and thanks to him who sitteth on 
 the throne, "who liveth for ever and ever, 
 
 10 'The four and twenty elders fall down 
 before him who sitteth on the throne, a and 
 worship him who liveth for ever and ever, 
 *and cast their crowns before the throne, 
 saying, 
 
 11 'Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive 
 glory, and honour, and power: d for thou 
 hast created all things, and for thy plea- 
 sure they are and were created. 
 
 CHAPTER V. 
 
 1 The book sealed with seven seals : 9 which only the 
 Lamb that was slain is worthy to open. 12 There- 
 fore the elders praise him, 9 and confess that he 
 redeemed them with his blood. 
 
 AND I saw in the right hand of him who 
 sat on the throne "a volume written 
 within and on the back side, 'sealed with 
 seven seals. 
 
 2 And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming 
 with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open 
 the volume, and to loose its seals ? 
 
 3 And no one c in heaven, or on earth, or 
 beneath the earth, was able to open the 
 volume, or look therein. 
 
 4 And I wept much, because none was 
 found worthy to open, and to read the 
 volume, or to look therein. 
 
 5 And one of the elders saith to me, 
 Weep not: behold, d the lion of the tribe of 
 Judah, 'the Root of David, hath prevailed 
 to open the volume, %id to loose its seven 
 seals. 
 
 6 And I beheld, and lo, in the midst of 
 the throne, and of the four animals, and 
 in the midst of the elders, stood g a Lamb 
 as having been slain, having seven horns, 
 and *seven eyes, which are 'the seven Spi- 
 rits of God sent forth into all the earth. 
 
 7 And he came and took the volume from 
 the right hand *of him who sat upon the 
 throne. 
 
 8 And when he had taken the. volume, 
 E the four animals, and the four and twenty 
 elders fell down before the Lamb, having 
 each of them "harps, and golden vials full 
 of incense, "which are the prayers of saints. 
 
 9 And c they sung a new song, saying, 
 ? Thou art worthy to take the volume, and 
 to open its seals : 'for thou wast slain, and 
 r hast redeemed us to God by thy blood 
 "from every tribe, and tongue, and people, 
 and nation ; 
 
 10 'And hast made us kings and priests

 11 And I beheld, and heard the voice of 
 many angels "around the throne, and the 
 animals, and the elders: and the number 
 of them was z ten thousand times ten thou- 
 sand, and thousands of thousands; 
 
 12 Saying with a loud voice, ^Worthy is 
 the Lamb that hath been slain to receive 
 power, and riches, and wisdom, and 
 strength, and honour, and glory, and 
 blessing. 
 
 13 And 'every creature which is in hea- 
 ven, and on the earth, and under the earth, 
 and such as are in the sea, and all that are 
 in them, I heard saying, "Blessing, and ho- 
 nour, and glory, and power, to him 'that 
 sitteth on the throne, and to the Lamb, 
 for ever and ever ! 
 
 14 "And the four animals said, Amen. 
 And the four and twenty elders fell down 
 and worshipped him d that liveth for ever 
 and ever. 
 
 CHAPTER VI. 
 
 1 The opening of the seals in order, and what fol- 
 lowed thereupon, containing a prophecy to the end 
 of the world. 
 
 AND °I saw when the Lamb opened 
 one of the seals, and I heard, as the 
 noise of thunder, 'one of the four animals, 
 saying, Come and see. 
 
 2 And I saw, and behold, c a white horse: 
 *and he that sat on him had a bow ; e and a 
 crown was given to him : and he went 
 forth conquering, and to conquer. 
 
 3 And when he had opened the second 
 seal, -fl heard the second animal say, Come 
 and see. 
 
 4 «And there went forth another horse 
 that was red: and power was given to him 
 who sat thereon to take peace from the 
 earth, that they should slaughter one an- 
 other : and there was given to him a great 
 sword. 
 
 5 And when he opened the third seal, I 
 heard the third animal say, Come and see. 
 And I beheld, and lo, 'a black horse ; and 
 he that sat on him had a pair of balances 
 in his hand. 
 
 6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the 
 four animals say, ||A measure of wheat for 
 a penny, and three measures of barley for a 
 penny ; and , *Hurt not the oil and the wine. 
 
 7 And when he opened the fourth seal, 
 'I heard the voice of the fourth animal say, 
 Come and see. 
 
 8 m And I looked, and behold, a pale 
 horse : and the name of him who sat on 
 him was Death, and the grave followed with 
 him. And power was given ||to them oyer 
 the fourth part of the earth, "to kill with 
 sword, and with hunger, and with pesti- 
 lence, Pand with the wild beasts of the earth. 
 
 9 And when he opened the fifth seal, I 
 saw under 'the altar r the souls of those 
 who had been slain s for the word of God, 
 and for 'the testimony which they held : 
 
 10 And they cried with a loud voice, 
 saying, "How long, O Lord, "holy and 
 true, ^dost thou delay to punish and 
 avenge our blood on those who dwell on 
 the earth ? 
 
 11 And there was given to them a 2 white 
 robe ; and it was said to them, "that they 
 should rest yet for a little season, until 
 their fellow-servants also and their bre- 
 thren, who were to be slain like them- 
 selves, should be filled up. 
 
 181 
 
The number of those sealed. 
 
 12 And I beheld when he opened the 
 sixth seal, 'and lo, there was a great earth- 
 quake; and e the sun became black as 
 sackcloth of hair, and the moon became 
 as blood, 
 
 13 d And the stars of heaven fell to the 
 earth, as a fig-tree casteth her Huntimely 
 figs, when shaken by a violent wind. 
 
 14 'And the heaven ||departed as a scroll 
 that is rolled up; and 'every mountain and 
 island were moved from their places. 
 
 15 And the kings of the earth, and the 
 great men, and the rich men, and the chief 
 captains, and the mighty men, and every 
 slave, and every free-man, «hid themselves 
 in the dens and in the rocks of the moun- 
 tains ; 
 
 16 "And said to the mountains and rocks, 
 Fall on us, and hide us from the face of 
 him that sitteth on the throne, and from 
 the wrath of the Lamb : 
 
 17 'For the great day of his wrath is 
 come ; *and who can stand ? 
 
 CHAPTER VII. 
 
 3 An angel sealeth the servants of God in their fore- 
 heads. 4 The number of them that were sealed: 
 of the tribes of Israel a certain number. 9 Of all 
 other nations an innumerable multitude, which 
 stand before the throne, clad in white robes, and 
 palms in their hands. 14 Their robes were washed 
 in the blood of the Lamb. 
 
 AND after this I saw four angels stand- 
 ing on the four corners of the earth, 
 "holding the four winds of the earth, 'that 
 the wind might not blow on the earth, nor 
 on the sea, nor on any tree. 
 
 2 And I saw another angel ascending 
 from the east, haying the seal of the living 
 God : and he cried with a loud voice to 
 the four angels, to whom it was given to 
 hurt the earth and the sea, 
 
 3 Saying, "Hurt not the earth, nor the sea, 
 nor the trees, till we have d sealed the ser- 
 vants of our God c in their foreheads. 
 
 4 'And I heard the number of those who 
 were sealed : and there were sealed *a 
 hundred and forty-four thousand of all the 
 tribes of the children of Israel. 
 
 5 Of the tribe of Judah were sealed twelve 
 thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were 
 sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of 
 Gad were sealed twelve thousand. 
 
 6 Of the tribe of Asher were sealed twelve 
 thousand. Of the tribe of Naphtali were 
 sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of 
 Manasseh were sealed twelve thousand. 
 
 7 Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed 
 twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi 
 were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe 
 of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand. 
 
 8 Of the tribe of Zebulun were sealed 
 twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph 
 were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe 
 of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand 
 
 9 After this I beheld, and lo, A a great 
 multitude, which no one could number, 
 'of all nations, and tribes, and people, and 
 tongues, stood before the throne, and be- 
 fore the Lamb, 'clothed with white robes, 
 and palms in their hands ; 
 
 10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, 
 'Salvation to our God "who sitteth on the 
 throne, and to the Lamb. 
 
 11 "And all the angels stood round the 
 throne, and round the elders and the four 
 animals, and fell before the throne on their 
 faces, and worshipped God,

 ing to me, These who are arrayed in 'white

 they? . 
 
 14 And I said to him, Sir, thou knowest.

 in the blood of the Lamb. 
 
 15 Therefore they are before the throne 
 of God, and serve him day and night in

 throne will 'dwell among them. 
 
 16 'They will hunger no more, and will 
 thirst no more ; "nor will the sun light on 
 them, nor any heat. 
 
 17 For the Lamb that is in the midst of 
 the throne *will be their shepherd, and will 
 lead them to living fountains of waters: 
 "and God will wipe away all tears from 
 their eyes. 
 
 CHAPTER VIII. 
 
 1 At the opening of the seventh seal, 2 seven angels 
 had seven trumpets given them. 6 Four of them 
 sound their trumpets, and great plagues follow. 
 3 Another angel putteth incense to the prayers of 
 the saints on the golden altar. 
 
 AND "when he opened the seventh seal, 
 there was silence in heaven for about 
 half an hour. 
 
 2 4 And I saw the seven angels who stand 
 before God ; "and there were given to them 
 seven trumpets. 
 
 3 And another angel came and stood at 
 the altar, having a golden censer; and 
 there was given to him much incense, that 
 he should Hoffer it with d the prayers of all 
 the saints upon "the golden altar which 
 was before the throne. 
 
 4 And 'the smoke of the incense, with 
 the prayers of the saints, went up before 
 God from the angel's hand. 
 
 5 And the angel took the censer, and 
 filled it with fire of the altar, and threw it 
 ||into the earth: and «there were voices, 
 and thunderings, and lightnings, "and an 
 earthquake. 
 
 6 And the seven angels who had the 
 seven trumpets prepared themselves to 
 sound. 
 
 7 The first angel sounded, '"and there fol- 
 lowed hail and fire mingled with blood, 
 and they were cast "upon the earth : and 
 the third part 'of trees was burnt up, and 
 all green grass was burnt up. 
 
 8 And the second angel sounded, "and 
 as it were a great mountain burning with 
 fire was thrown into the sea: "and the third 
 part of the sea "became blood ; 
 
 9 *And the third part of the creatures in 
 the sea, that had life, died ; and the third 
 part of the ships were destroyed. 
 
 10 And the third angel sounded, «and 
 there fell from heaven a great star, burn- 
 ing like a torch, 'and it fell upon the third 
 part of the rivers, and upon the fountains 
 of waters; « 
 
 11 'And the name of the star is called 
 Wormwood: 'and the third part of the 
 waters became wormwood; and many men 
 died of the waters, because they were made 
 bitter. 
 
The fifth angel soundetlu 
 
 12 "And the fourth angel sounded, and 
 the third part of the sun was smitten, and 
 the third part of the moon, and the third 
 part of the stars ; so that the third part of 
 them was darkened, and the day shone 
 not for a third part of it, and the night 
 likewise. 
 
 13 And I beheld, *and heard an llangel 
 flying through the midst of heaven, saying 
 with a loud voice, -Wo, wo, wo, to the in- 
 habitants of the earth, by reason of the 
 other voices of the trumpet of the three 
 angels, who are yet to sound. 
 
 CHAPTER IX. 
 
 1 At the sounding of the fifth angel, a star falleth 
 from heaven, to whom is given the key of the bot- 
 tomless pit. 2 He openeth the pit, and there come 
 forth locusts like scorpions. 12 The first wo past. 
 13 The sixth trumpet soundeth. 14 Four angels 
 are let loose, that were bound. 
 
 AND the fifth angel sounded, "and I saw 
 a star fall from heaven to the earth : 
 and to him was given the key ||of 'the bot- 
 tomless pit. 
 
 2 And he opened the bottomless pit ; and 
 'there arose a smoke from the pit, as the 
 smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and 
 the air were darkened from the smoke of 
 the pit, 
 
 3 And there came out of the smoke /lo- 
 custs upon the earth : and to them was given 
 power, 'as the scorpions of the earth have 
 power. 
 
 4 And it was commanded them^that they 
 should not hurt g the grass of the earth, nor 
 any green thing, nor any tree ; but only 
 those men who nave not "the seal of God 
 in their foreheads. 
 
 5 And it was given to them that they 
 should not kill them, 'but that they should 
 be tormented five months : and their tor- 
 ment was as the torment .of a scorpion, 
 when he striketh a man. 
 
 6 And in those days *will men seek death, 
 and will not find it ; and will desire to 
 die, and death will flee from them. 
 
 7 And 'the shapes of the locusts were like 
 horses prepared for battle ; m and on their 
 heads were as it were crowns like gold, 
 "and their faces were as the faces of men ; 
 
 8 And they had hair as the hair of women, 
 and "their teeth were as the teeth of lions. 
 
 9 And they had breast-plates, as it were 
 breast-plates of iron; and the sound of 
 their wings was p as the sound of chariots 
 of many horses running to battle. 
 
 10 And they had tails like scorpions, and 
 there were stings in their tails: 'and their 
 power was to hurt men five months. 
 
 11 r And they had as king over them, 'the 
 angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in 
 the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the 
 Greek tongue he hath his name ||Apollyon. 
 
 12 'One wo is past; behold there come 
 two woes more hereafter. 
 
 13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I 
 heard a voice from the four horns of the 
 golden altars which is before God, 
 
 14 Saying to the sixth angel who had the 
 trumpet, Loose the four angels who are 
 bound "at the great river Euphrates. 
 
 15 And the four angels were loosed, who 
 were prepared f| for the hour, and day, and 
 month, and year, to slay the third part of 
 men.

 An angel appeareth with a book. 
 
 horsemen was two hundred thousand 
 thousand: z and I heard the number of 
 them. 
 
 17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, 
 and those sitting on them, having breast: 
 plates of fire, and of jacinth, and brim- 
 stone : "and the heads of the horses were 
 as the heads of lions; and from their 
 mouths issued fire, and smoke, and brim- 
 stone. 
 
 18 By these three was the third part of 
 men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, 
 and by the brimstone, which issued from 
 their mouths. 
 
 19 For their power is in their mouth, and 
 in their tails: for their tails were like ser- 
 
 Eents, and had heads, and with them they 
 urt. 
 
 20 And the rest of the men who were not 
 killed by these plagues c yet repented not 
 of the works of their hands, that they 
 should not worship ''demons, 'and idols of 
 gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and 
 wood : which can neither see, nor hear, 
 nor walk : 
 
 21 Nor repented they of their murders, 
 ■^nor of their sorceries, nor of their for- 
 nication, nor of their thefts. 
 
 CHAPTER X. 
 
 1 A mighty strong angel appeareth with a book open 
 in his hand. 6 He sweareth by him that liveth for 
 ever, that there shall be no more time. 5 John is 
 commanded to take and eat the book. 
 
 AND I saw another mighty angel come 
 down from heaven, clothed with a 
 cloud : a and a rainbow was upon his head, 
 and *his face was like the sun, and e his 
 feet like pillars of fire : 
 
 2 And he had in his hand a little book 
 open : ''and he set his right foot on the 
 sea, and his left foot on the earth, 
 
 3 And cried with a loud voice, as when 
 a lion roareth : and when he cried, e seven 
 thunders uttered their voices. 
 
 4 And when the seven thunders uttered 
 their voices, I was about to write : and I 
 heard a voice from heaven saying to me, 
 'Seal up those things which the seven 
 thunders uttered, and write them not. 
 
 5 And the angel whom I saw standing on 
 the sea and on the earth, ^lifted up his hand 
 to heaven, 
 
 6 And swore by him who liveth for ever 
 and ever, *who created heaven, and the 
 things that are therein, and the earth, and 
 the things therein, and the sea, and the 
 things therein, 'that there should be time 
 no longer: 
 
 7 But *in the days of the voice of the se- 
 venth angel, when he shall begin to sound, 
 the mystery of God is finished, as he hath 
 declared to his servants the prophets. 
 
 8 And 'the voice which I heard from hea- 
 ven spoke to me again, .and said, Go, and 
 take the little book which is open in the 
 hand of the angel who standeth on the sea 
 and on the earth. 
 
 9 And I went to the angel, and said to 
 him, Give me the little book. And he said 
 to me, '"Take it, and eat it up; and it will 
 make thy stomach bitter, but it will be in thy 
 mouth sweet as honey. 
 
 10 And I took the little book from the 
 angel's hand, and ate it up; "and it was in 
 my mouth sweet as honey: and when I 
 had eaten it "my stomach was bitter.

The two prophesying witnesses, 
 
 1 1 And he said to me, Thou must pro- 
 phesy again before many peoples, and na- 
 tions, and tongues, and kings. 
 
 CHAPTER XI. 
 
 3 The two witnesses prophesy, 6 They have power 
 to shut heaven, that it rain not. 7 The beast shall 
 fight against them, and kill them. 8 They lie un- 
 buried, 11 and after three days and a half rise 
 again. 14 The second wo is past. 15 The seventh 
 trumpet soundeth. 
 
 AND there was given me "a reed like a 
 rod: and the angel stood, saying, 
 'Rise, and measure the temple of God, and 
 the altar, and those who worship therein. 
 
 2 But 'the court which is without the 
 temple, tleave out, and measure it not; 
 d for it is given to the Gentiles : and the 
 holy city they will "tread under foot 'forty- 
 two months. 
 
 3 And ||I will give power to my two s wit- 
 nesses, "and they shall prophesy 'a thou- 
 sand two hundred and sixty days, clothed 
 in sackcloth. 
 
 4 These are the 'two olive-trees, and the 
 two candlesticks standing before the God 
 of the earth. 
 
 5 And if any one will hurt them, 'fire pro- 
 ceeded! from their mouth, and devoureth 
 their enemies : m and if any one will hurt 
 them, he must thus be killed. 
 
 _ 6 These "have power to shut heaven, that 
 it rain not in the days of their prophecy : 
 and "have power over the waters to turn 
 them to blood, and to smite the earth with 
 all plagues, as often as they will. 
 
 7 And when they ''shall have finished 
 their testimony, 'the beast that ascendeth 
 'from the bottomless pit 'will make war 
 against them, and overcome them, and kill 
 them. 
 
 8 And their dead bodies will lie in the 
 street of 'the great city, which spiritually 
 is called Sodom and Egypt, "where also 
 our Lord was crucified. 
 
 9 *And those of the people, and tribes, 
 and tongues, and nations, will see their 
 dead bodies three days and an half, *and 
 will not suffer their dead bodies to be put 
 in graves. 
 
 10 *And those who dwell upon the earth 
 will rejoice over them, and make merry, 
 "and will send gifts to one another; 'be- 
 cause these two prophets tormented those 
 who dwelt on the earth. 
 
 11 ^And after three days and an half ''the 
 Spirit of life from God entered into them, 
 and they stood upon their feet ; and great 
 fear fell upon those who saw them. 
 
 12 And they heard a great voice from 
 heaven, saying to them, Come up hither. 
 •And they ascend ed to heaven f in the cloud ; 
 *and their enemies beheld them. 
 
 13 And in that hour "there was a great 
 earthquake, 'and the tenth part of the city 
 fell, and there were slain in the earthquake 
 seven thousandt : and the rest were terri- 
 fied, "and gave glory to the God of heaven. 
 
 14 'The second wo is past; behold, the 
 third wo cometh quickly. 
 
 15 And "the seventh angel sounded; "and 
 there were great voices in heaven, saying, 
 "The kingdoms of this world are become 
 the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his 
 Christ; p and he will reign for ever and 
 ever!

 The dragon cast out of heaven. 
 
 sat before God on their seats, fell upon 
 their faces, and worshipped God, 
 
 17 Saying, We thank thee, Lord God 
 Almighty, 'who art, and wast, and art to 
 come, that thou hast taken to thee thy 
 great power, 'and hast reigned. 
 
 18 'And the nations were enraged, and 
 thy wrath is come, "and the time of the 
 dead, that they should be judged, and that 
 thou shouldest give reward to thy servants 
 the prophets, and to the saints, and to those 
 who fear thy name, *small and great; "and 
 shouldest destroy those who Hdestroy the 
 earth. 
 
 19 And *the temple of God was opened 
 in heaven, and there was seen in his tem- 
 ple the ark of his covenant: and*°there 
 were lightnings, and voices, and thunder- 
 ings, and an earthquake, 'and great hail. 
 
 CHAPTER XII. 
 
 1 A woman clothed with the sun travaileth. 4 Tht 
 great red dragon standeth before her, ready to de- 
 vour her child : 6 when she was delivered shefleeth 
 into the wilderness. 7 Michael and his angels 
 fight with the dragon, and prevail. 13 The dra- 
 gon being cast down into the earth,persecuteth the 
 woman. 
 
 A ND there appeared a great Hwonder in 
 -^*- heaven; a woman clothed with the 
 sun, and the moon under her feet, and on 
 her head a crown of twelve stars : 
 
 2 And she, being with child, cried, "being 
 in pangs, and pained to be delivered. 
 
 3 And there appeared another ||wonder 
 in heaven ; and behold, *a great red dragon, 
 'having seven heads and ten horns, ^and 
 seven crowns upon his heads. 
 
 4 And 'his tail drew the third part 'of the 
 stars of heaven, *and threw them to the 
 earth: and the dragon stood "before the 
 woman who was about to be delivered, 'to 
 devour her child as soon as it was born. 
 
 5 And she bore a male child, "who was 
 to rule all nations with a rod of iron : and 
 her child was caught up to God, and to his 
 throne. 
 
 6 And 'the woman fled into the wilder- 
 ness, where she hath a place prepared by 
 God, that they may sustain her there m a 
 thousand two hundred and sixty days. 
 
 7 And there was war in heaven : "Michael 
 and his angels fought °against the dragon ; 
 and the dragon fought and his angels, 
 
 8 And prevailed not; nor was their place 
 found any more in heaven. 
 
 9 And p the great dragon was cast out, 
 'the old serpent, called the Devil, and 
 Satan, 'who seduceth the whole world: 
 'he was cast out into the earth, and his 
 angels were cast out with him. 
 
 10 And I heard a loud voice saying in 
 heaven, 'Now is come salvation, and pow- 
 er, and the kingdom of our God, and the 
 authority of his Christ ! for the accuser of 
 our brethren is cast down "who accused 
 them before our God day and night. 
 
 11 And ^they overcame him by the blood 
 of the Lamb, and by the word of their tes- 
 timony; y and they loved not their lives to 
 the death. 
 
 12 Therefore Rejoice, ye heavens, and ye 
 that dwell in thenr. "Wo to the inhabitants 
 of the earth, and of the sea ! for the devil 
 is come down to you, having great wrath, 
 'because he knoweth that he hath but a 
 little season. 
 
Two beasts arise. 
 
 CHAPTERS XIII. XIV. 
 
 13 And when the dragon saw that he was 
 cast to the earth, he persecuted 'the woman 
 who bore the male child. 
 
 14 ■'And to the woman were given two 
 wings of a great eagle, 'that she might fly 
 'into the wilderness, into her place, where 
 she is nourished y for a time, and times, and 
 half a time, from the face of the serpent. 
 
 15 And the serpent 'cast out of his mouth 
 water as a flood, after the woman, that he 
 might cause her to be carried away by the 
 flood. 
 
 16 And the earth helped the woman; and 
 the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed 
 up the flood which the dragon cast from his 
 mouth. 
 
 17 And the dragon was enraged at the 
 woman, 'and went to make war with the 
 rest of her seed, 'who keep the command- 
 ments of God, and have 'the testimony of 
 Jesus Christ. 
 
 CHAPTER XIII. 
 
 I A beast riseth out of the sea with seven heads and 
 ten horns, to whom the dragon giveth his power. 
 11 Another beast cometh up out of the earth: 
 14 causeth an image to be made of the former 
 beast, 15 and that men should worship it, 16 and 
 receive his mark. 
 
 AND I stood upon the sand of the sea, 
 and saw °a wild beast come up from 
 the sea, 'haying seven heads and ten horns, 
 and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon 
 his heads the ||name of blasphemy. 
 
 2 'And the wild beast which I saw was 
 like a leopard, d and his feet were as the feet 
 of a bear, e and his mouth as the mouth of a 
 lion : and 'the dragon gave him his power, 
 f and his seat, 'and great authority. 
 
 3 And I saw one of his heads 'as it were 
 twounded to death; and his deadly wound 
 was healed : and 'all the world wondered 
 after the wild beast. 
 
 4 And they worshipped the dragon who 
 gave power to the beast: and they wor- 
 shipped the beast, saying, 'Who is l'ike the 
 beast ? who can make war with him ? 
 
 5 And there was given to him m a mouth 
 speaking great things and blasphemies; 
 and power was given to him ||to continue 
 "forty-two months. 
 
 6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy 
 against God, to blaspheme his name, "and 
 his tabernacle, and those who dwell in 
 heaven. 
 
 7 And it was given to him Ho make war 
 with the saints, and to overcome them: 
 'and power was given him over all tribes, 
 and tongues, and nations. 
 
 8 And all who dwell on the earth shall 
 worship him, r whose names are not written 
 in the book of life of the Lamb slain 'from 
 the foundation of the world. 
 
 9 'If any one hath an ear, let him hear. 
 
 10 "He that leadeth into captivity shall 
 go into captivity: x he that slayeth with the 
 sword, must be slain with the sword. 
 '-'Here is the patience and the faith of the 
 saints. 
 
 II And I saw another wild beast ^coming 
 up from the earth, and he had two horns 
 like a lamb, and he spoke as a dragon. 
 
 12 And he exerciseth all the power of the 
 first beast in his presence, and causeth the 
 earth and those who dwell therein to pay 
 homage to the first beast, "whose deadly 
 wound was healed.

 The Lamb standing on Mount Zion. 
 
 13 And 'he doeth great wonders, 'so that 
 he maketh fire come down from heaven on 
 the earth in the sight of men, 
 
 14 And "seduceth those who dwell on the 
 earth 'by means of those miracles which 
 he had power to do in the sight of the 
 beast; saying to those who dwell on the 
 earth, that they should make an image to 
 the beast, that had the wound by a sword, 
 'and liveth. 
 
 15 And he had power to give tlife to the 
 image of the beast, that the image of the 
 beast should both speak, ff and cause that 
 as many as would not worship the imagt 
 of the beast should be slain. 
 
 16 And he causeth all, small and great, 
 rich and poor, free and slaves, 'tto receive 
 a mark on their right hand, or on thei: 
 foreheads ; 
 
 17 And that none might buy or sell, but 
 he who had the mark, or 'the name of the 
 beast, 'or the number of his name. 
 
 18 'Here is wisdom. Let him who hath 
 understanding count m the number of the 
 beast : "for it is the number of a man ; and 
 his number is Six hundred and sixty-six.

 1 The Lamb standing on mount Zion with his com- 
 pany. 6 An angel publisheth his message. 8 The 
 fall of Babylon. 15 The harvest of the world, and 
 putting in of the sickle. 20 The vintage and wine- 
 press of the wrath of God. 
 
 AND I looked, and lo, "a Lamb stood 
 on the mount Zion, and with him J'an 
 hundred and forty-four thousand, 'having 
 his Father's name written on their fore- 
 heads. 
 
 2 And I heard a voice from heaven, d as 
 the voice of many waters, and as the voice 
 of loud thunder : and I heard the voice of 
 'harpers harping with their harps : 
 
 3 And 'they sung as it were a new song 
 before the throne, and before the four ani- 
 mals, and the elders: and none could learn 
 the song s b\it the hundred and forty-four 
 thousand, who were redeemed from the 
 earth. 
 
 4 These are they who have not defiled 
 themselves with women; 'for they are 
 pure as virgins. These are they 'who fol- 
 low the Lamb wherever he goeth. These 
 t'were redeemed from among men, 'being 
 the first-fruits to God and to the Lamb. 
 
 5 And m in their mouth was found no 
 guile: for "they are without fault before 
 the throne of God. 
 
 6 And I saw another angel "flying in the 
 midst of heaven, p having an everlasting 
 gospel to publish to those who dwell on 
 the earth, 'and to every nation, and tribe, 
 and tongue, and people, 
 
 7 Saying with a loud voice, r Fear God, 
 and give him glory; for the hour of his 
 judgment is come : 'and worship him who 
 made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and 
 the fountains of waters. 
 
 8 And there followed another angel, say- 
 ing, 'Fallen, fallen is Babylon, "the great 
 city! because she made all nations drink 
 of the wine of the wrath of her fornication ! 
 
 9 And a third angel followed them, say- 
 ing with a loud voice, *If any man worship 
 the wild beast and his image, and receive 
 his mark on his forehead, or on his hand, 
 
 10 He himself "shall drink of the wine 
 of the wrath of God, which is 'poured out 
 
 185 
 
 
The harvest, <^c, of the world. 
 
 without mixture into "the cup of his indig- 
 nation; and 'he shall be tormented with 
 c fire and brimstone before the holy angels, 
 and before the Lamb : 
 
 11 And d the smoke of their torment as- 
 cendeth up for ever and ever : and those 
 have no rest day nor night, who worship 
 the beast and his image, and whoever re- 
 ceiveth the mark of his name. 
 
 12 'Here is the patience of the saints: 
 'here are those who keep the command- 
 ments of God, and the faith of Jesus. 
 
 13 And I heard a voice from heaven, say- 
 ing to me, Write, 'Happy the dead "who 
 die in the Lord ||from henceforth: Yea, 
 saith the Spirit, 'that they may rest from 
 their labours; and their works follow them. 
 
 14 And I looked, and behold, a white 
 cloud, and upon the cloud one sat 'like the 
 Son of man, 'haying on his head a golden 
 crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle. 
 
 15 And another angel m came out of the 
 temple, crying with a loud voice to him 
 who sat on the cloud, "Thrust in thy 
 sickle, and reap : for the time is come for 
 thee to reap ; for the harvest "of the earth 
 is ||ripe. 
 
 16 And he that sat on the cloud thrust in 
 his sickle on the earth ; and the earth was 
 reaped. 
 
 17 And another angel came out of the 
 temple which is in heaven, having himself 
 also a sharp sickle. 
 
 18 And another angel came out from the 
 altar, "having power over fire ; and cried 
 with a loud cry to him who had the sharp 
 sickle, saying, 'Thrust in thy sharp sickle, 
 and gather the clusters of the vine of the 
 earth ; for her grapes are fully ripe. 
 
 19 And the angel thrust in his sickle into 
 the earth, and gathered the vine of the 
 earth, and cast it into the great wine-press 
 of the wrath of God. 
 
 20 And 'the wine-press was trodden 
 'without the city, and blood came out of 
 the wine-press, "up to the horse-bridles, 
 for a thousand and six hundred furlongs. 
 
 CHAPTER XV. 
 
 1 The seven angels with the seven last plagues, 
 song of them that overcome the wild beast, 
 seven vials full of the wrath of God. 
 
 AND "I saw another sign in heaven, 
 great and wonderful, 'seven angels 
 having the seven last plagues; 'because in 
 these is accomplished the wrath of God. 
 
 2 And I saw as it were d a sea of glass 
 'mingled with fire: and those who had 
 
 fained the victory over the wild beast, 
 and over his image, and over his mark, 
 and over the number of his name, standing 
 on the sea of glass, 'having harps of God. 
 
 3 And they sing "the song of Moses the 
 servant of God, and* the song of the Lamb, 
 saying, 'Great and wonderful are thy 
 works, Lord God Almighty; 'just and 
 true are thy ways, thou King of ||saints. 
 
 4 'Who shall not fear thee, Lord, and 
 glorify thy name ? for thou only art holy : 
 for m all nations shall come and worship 
 before thee; for thy judgments are made 
 manifest. 
 
 5 And after this I saw, and behold, "the 
 temple of the tabernacle of the testimony 
 in heaven was opened : 
 
 6 "And the seven angels, who had the 
 seven plagues, came out of the temple,

 The angels pour out their vials. 
 "clothed in pure and white linen, and 
 having their breasts girded with golden 
 girdles. 
 
 7 'And one of the four animals gave to 
 the seven angels seven golden vials full 
 of the wrath of God, r who liveth for ever 
 and ever. 
 
 8 And 'the temple was filled with smoke 
 'from the glory of God, and from his power ; 
 and none could enter the temple, till the 
 seven plagues of the seven angels were 
 accomplished. 
 
 CHAPTER XVI. 
 
 2 The angels pour out their vials full of wrath. 6 The 
 plagues that follow thereupon. 15 Christ cometh 
 as a thief. Blessed are they that watch. 
 
 AND I heard a loud voice from the tem- 
 ple, saying °to the seven angels, Go, 
 and pour out the vials 'of the wrath of 
 God upon the earth ! 
 
 2 And the first went, and poured out his 
 vial 'on the earth ; and ''there fell an evil 
 and grievous sore upon the men 'who had 
 the mark of the beast, and those %ho wor- 
 shipped his image. 
 
 3 And the second angel poured out his 
 vial 'upon the sea ; and It became as the 
 blood of a dead man; 'and every living 
 soul died in the sea. 
 
 4 And the third angel poured out his 
 vial 'upon the rivers and fountains of wa- 
 ters : 'and they became blood. 
 
 5 And I heard the angel of the waters 
 say, m Thou art righteous, O Lord, "who 
 art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou 
 hast inflicted these judgments. 
 
 6 For "they have shed the blood "of saints 
 and prophets, 'and thou hast given them 
 blood to drink ; for they are worthy ! 
 
 7 And I heard another from the altar 
 saying, Even so, 'Lord God Almighty, 
 'true and righteous are thy judgments ! 
 
 8 And the fourth angel poured out his 
 vial 'upon the sun; "and power was given 
 to him to scorch men with fire. 
 
 9 And men were || scorched with great 
 heat, and ^blasphemed the name of God, 
 who hath power over these plagues: ^and 
 they repented not Ho give him glory. 
 
 10 And the fifth angel poured out his 
 vial "upon the seat of the beast ; 'and his 
 kingdom was filled with darkness; 'and 
 they gnawed their tongues for pain, 
 
 11 And d blasphemed the God of heaven, 
 because of their pains and 'their sores, 'and 
 repented not of their deeds. 
 
 12 And the sixth angel poured out his 
 vial 'upon the great river Euphrates ; 'and 
 its water was dried up, 'that the way of 
 the kings of the east might be prepared. 
 
 13 And I saw three unclean 'spirits like 
 frogs come from the mouth of 'the dragon, 
 and from the mouth of the beast, and from 
 the mouth of m the false prophet. 
 
 14 ("For they are the spirits of demons, 
 "working miracles,) going forth to the 
 kings of the earth, "and of the whole 
 world, to gather them to 'the battle of that 
 great day of God Almighty. 
 
 15 ('Behold, I come as a thief. Happy is 
 he that watcheth, and keepeth his gar- 
 ments, 'lest he walk naked, and they see 
 his shame :) 
 
 16 'And he assembled them into the 
 place called in the Hebrew tongue Arma- 
 geddon.

 John's vision of the great harlot. CHAPTERS XVII. 
 
 17 And the seventh angel poured out his 
 vial into the air; and there came a loud 
 voice out of the temple of heaven, from 
 the throne, saying, "It is done ! 
 
 18 And 'there were voices, and thunders', 
 and lightnings; "and there was a great 
 earthquake, 'such as was not since men 
 were upon the earth; so great was the 
 earthquake. 
 
 19 And "the great city was divided into 
 three parts, and the cities of the nations 
 fell : and Babylon the great 'was remem- 
 bered before God, 'to give to her the cup 
 of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. 
 
 20 And ''every island fled away, and the 
 mountains were not found. 
 
 21 'And there fell upon men a great hail 
 from heaven, every stone about the weight 
 of a talent: and Anen blasphemed God be- 
 cause of *the plague of the hail ; for the 
 plague of it was exceedingly great. 
 
 CHAPTER XVII. 
 
 3, 4 A woman arrayed in purple and scarlet, with a 
 golden cup in her hand, sitteth upon the beast, 
 5 which is great Babylon, the mother of all abomi- 
 nations. 9 The interpretation of the seven heads, 
 12 and the ten horns. 8 The punishment of the 
 harlot. 14 The victory of the Lamb. 
 
 AND there came "one of the seven angels 
 who had the seven vials, and talked 
 with me, saying to me, Come hither; *I 
 will shew thee the judgment of c the great 
 hai'lot d that sitteth upon the many waters; 
 
 2 'With whom the kings of the earth have 
 committed fornication, and'the inhabitants 
 of the earth have been made drunk with 
 the wine of her fornication. 
 
 3 So he carried me away in the spirit 
 ? into the desert : and I saw a woman 
 sitting *on a scarlet- coloured beast, full of 
 'names of blasphemy, *having seven heads 
 and 'ten horns. 
 
 4 And the woman m \vas arrayed in purple 
 and scarlet-colour, "and tdecked with gold 
 and precious stones and pearls, "having a 
 golden cup in her hand 'full of abomina- 
 tions and the impurity of her fornication : 
 
 5 And on her forehead was a name writ- 
 ten, 'A SECRET, BABYLON ' THE 
 GREAT, 'THE MOTHER OF [] HAR- 
 LOTS AND OF THE ABOMINA- 
 TIONS OF THE EARTH. 
 
 6 And I saw 'the woman drunken "with 
 the blood of the saints, and with the blood 
 of *the martyrs of Jesus : and I wondered 
 at seeing her, with great wonder. 
 
 7 And the angel said to me, Wherefore 
 didst thou wonder ? I will tell thee the 
 secret of the woman, and of the beast 
 that carrieth her, that hath the seven 
 heads, and ten horns. 
 
 8 The beast that thou sawest, was, and 
 is not; and "will ascend from the abyss, 
 and r go into perdition : and those who 
 dwell on the earth "will wonder,, ^whose 
 names were not written in the book of life 
 from the foundation of the world,) when 
 they behold the beast that was, and is not, 
 and yet is. 
 
 9 And 'here is the mind which hath wis- 
 dom. ''The seven heads are seven moun- 
 tains, on which the woman sitteth. 
 
 10 And they are seven kings: five are 
 fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet 
 come ; and when he cometh, he must con- 
 tinue a short time.

 XVIII. The fall of Babylon. 
 
 11 And the beast that was, and is not, 
 even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, 
 "and goeth to perdition. 
 
 12 And /the ten horns which thou sawest 
 are ten kings, who have as yet received no 
 kingdom ; but receive power as kings one 
 hour with the beast. 
 
 13 These have one mind, and will give 
 their power and strength to the beast. 
 
 14 *These shall make war with the Lamb, 
 and the Lamb will overcome them : *for 
 he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: 
 'and those who are with him are called, 
 and chosen, and faithful. 
 
 15 And he saith to me, The waters which 
 thou sawest, where the harlot sitteth, 'are 
 peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and 
 tongues. 
 
 16 And the ten horns which thou sawest 
 upon the beast, "these will hate the harlot, 
 and will make her desolate "and naked, 
 and will eat her flesh, and "burn her with 
 fire. 
 
 17 ^For God hath put it in their hearts to 
 fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their 
 kingdom to the beast, 'until the words of 
 God shall be fulfilled. 
 
 18 And the woman whom thou sawest r is 
 the great city, 'that reigneth over the kings 
 of the earth. 
 
 CHAPTER XVIII. 
 
 2 Babylon is fallen. 4 The people of God commanded 
 to depart from her. 9 The kings of the earth, 
 11 with the merchants and mariners, lament over 
 her. 20 The saints rejoice for the judgments of 
 God upon her. 
 
 AND Rafter this I saw another angel 
 coming down from heaven, having 
 great power ; 'and the earth was enlight- 
 ened with his glory. 
 
 2 And he cried loudly with a strong voice, 
 saying, 'Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, 
 and d is become the habitation of demons, 
 and the hold of every foul spirit, and 'a 
 cage of every unclean and hateful bird. 
 
 3 For all nations ^have drunk of the wine 
 of the wrath of her fornication, and the 
 kings of the earth have committed forni- 
 cation with her, *and the merchants of the 
 earth have grown rich through the ||abun- 
 dance of her delicacies. 
 
 4 And I heard another voice from hea- 
 ven, saying, "Come out of her, my people, 
 that ye be not partakers of her sins, and 
 that ye receive not of her plagues. 
 
 5 'For her sins have reached to heaven, 
 and *God hath remembered her iniquities. 
 
 6 'Reward her as she rewarded you, and 
 give her double according to her works: 
 m in the cup which she hath filled, "fill to 
 her double. 
 
 7 "As much as she hath glorified herself, 
 and lived deliciously, so much torment 
 and sorrow give her : for she saith in her 
 heart, I sit a p queen, and am no widow, 
 and shall see no sorrow. 
 
 8 Therefore shall her plagues come "in 
 one day, death, and mourning, and famine ; 
 and r she shall be utterly burned with fire : 
 'for strong is the Lord God who judgeth 
 her. 
 
 9 And 'the kings of the earth, who have 
 committed fornication and lived delicious- 
 ly with her, "will bewail her, and lament 
 for her, 'when they see the smoke of her 
 burning, 
 
 187 
 
A lamentation for Babylon. 
 
 10 Standing afar off for the fear of her 
 torment, saying, "Alas, alas ! the great 
 city Babylon, the mighty city! 'for in one 
 hour is thy judgment come ! 
 i 11 And °the merchants of the earth will 
 weep and mourn over her; for no man 
 buyeth their merchandise any more : 
 
 12 'The merchandise of gold, and silver, 
 and precious stones, and of pearls, and 
 fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scar- 
 let, and all [|thyine wood, and every ves- 
 sel of ivory, and every vessel of most pre- 
 cious wood, and of brass, and iron, and 
 marble, 
 
 13 And cinnamon, and odours, and oint- 
 ments, and frankincense, and wine, and 
 oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, 
 and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and 
 Ijslaves, and 'souls of men. 
 
 14 And the fruits that thy soul desired 
 are departed from thee, and all things 
 sumptuous and splendid are departed from 
 thee, and thou shalt no longer find them. 
 
 15 ''The merchants of these things who 
 became rich by her, will stand afar off, 
 for the fear of her torment, weeping and 
 wailing, 
 
 16 And saying, Alas, alas! the great city, 
 "that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, 
 and scarlet, and decked with gold, and 
 precious stones, and pearls ! 
 
 17 'For in one hour so great riches are 
 destroyed ! And f every ship-master, and 
 all the company in ships, and sailors, and 
 as many as trade by sea, stood afar off, 
 
 18 'And cried when they saw the smoke 
 of her burning, saying, 'What city is like 
 the great city ! 
 
 19 And ft they threw dust on their heads, 
 and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, 
 Alas, alas ! the great city, in which all 
 who had ships in the sea were made rich 
 from her magnificence! 'for in one hour 
 is she made desolate. 
 
 20 ""Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and 
 ye holy apostles and prophets; for "God 
 hath avenged you on her. 
 
 21 And a mighty angel took up a stone 
 like a great mill-stone, and cast it into the 
 sea, saying, "Thus with violence shall Ba- 
 bylon, the great city, be thrown down, and 
 ''shall be no longer found. 
 
 22 «And the voice of harpers, and musi- 
 cians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall 
 be no longer heard in thee ; and no crafts- 
 man, of whatever craft he be, shall be 
 found any more in thee ; and the sound of 
 a mill-stone shall no longer be heard in 
 thee; 
 
 23 r And the light of a candle shall no 
 longer shine in thee ; 'and the voice of the 
 bridegroom and of the bride shall be no 
 longer heard in thee: for 'thy merchants 
 were the great men of the earth ; "for by 
 thy sorceries were all nations seduced. 
 
 24 And x in her was found the blood of 
 prophets, and of saints, and of all who 
 'were slain upon the earth.

 1 God is praised in heaven for judging the great har- 
 lot, and avenging the blood of his saints. 7 The

 The marriage of the Lamb. 
 
 luia! 'Salvation, and glory, and honour, 
 and power, to the Lord our God ! 
 
 2 For 'true and righteous are his judg- 
 ments : for he hath judged the great harlot, 
 that corrupted the earth with her fornica- 
 tion, and ''hath avenged the blood of his 
 servants at her hand. 
 
 3 And again they said, Alleluia ! And 
 'her smoke rose up for ever and ever. 
 
 4 And 'the four and twenty elders and 
 the four animals fell down ana worshipped 
 God who sat on the throne, saying, s Amen ; 
 Alleluia ! 
 
 5 And a voice came out of the throne, 
 saying, 'Praise our God, all ye his servants, 
 and ye who fear him, 'both small and great ! 
 
 6 'And I heard as it were the voice of a 
 great multitude, and as the voice of many 
 waters, and as the voice of mighty thun- 
 ders, saying, Alleluia ! for 'the Lord God 
 omnipotent reigneth ! 
 
 7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give 
 him honour : for m the marriage of the Lamb 
 is come, and his wife hath prepared her- 
 self. 
 
 8 And "to her was granted that she should 
 be arrayed in fine linen, clean and || white: 
 "for the fine linen is the righteousness of 
 saints. 
 
 9 And he saith to me, "Write, 'Happy 
 are they who are called to the marriage- 
 supper of the Lamb. And he saith to me, 
 'These are the true sayings of God. 
 
 10 And r I fell at his feet to worship him. 
 And he said to me, 'See thou do it not: I 
 am thy fellow-servant, and of thy brethren 
 'who have the testimony of Jesus : worship 
 God : for the testimony of Jesus is the spi- 
 rit of prophecy. 
 
 11 "And I saw heaven opened, and be- 
 hold, *a white horse ; and he that sat upon 
 him was called "Faithful and True, and 
 'in righteousness he judgeth and maketh 
 war. 
 
 12 "His eyes were as a flame of fire, 'and 
 on his head were many crowns ; 'and he 
 had a name written, that no man knew, 
 but himself. 
 
 13 d And he was clothed with a garment 
 dipped in blood: and his name is called 
 The Word of God. 
 
 14 'And the armies which were in heaven 
 followed him upon white horses, ^clothed 
 in fine linen, white and clean. 
 
 15 And 'from his mouth goeth forth a 
 sharp sword, that with it he may smite 
 the nations : and 'he will rule them with a 
 rod of iron : and *he treadeth the wine- 
 press of the fierceness and wrath of Al- 
 mighty God. 
 
 16 And 'he hath on his garment and on 
 his thigh a name written, m KING OF 
 KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. 
 
 17 And I saw an angel standing in the 
 sun; and he cried with a loud voice, say- 
 ing "to all the birds that fly in the midst 
 of heaven, "Come, and assemble yourselves 
 to the supper of the great God ; 
 
 18 'That ye may eat the flesh of kings, 
 and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of 
 mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and 
 of "those who sit on them, and the flesh of 
 all men, both free and slaves, both small 
 and great. 
 
 19 'And I saw the beast, and the kings 
 of the earth, and"" their armies, gathered 
 
The first resurrection.

 together to make war against him who sat 
 on the horse, and against his army. 
 
 20 r And the beast was taken, and with 
 him the false prophet who wrought mira- 
 cles before him, with which he seduced 
 those who had received the mark of the 
 beast, and 'those who worshipped his 
 image. 'These both were cast alive into 
 a lake of fire "burning with brimstone. 
 
 21 And the rest 'were slain with the 
 sword of him who sat upon the horse, 
 which sword proceeded from his mouth: 
 %nd all the birds *were satisfied with their 
 flesh. 
 
 CHAPTER XX. 
 
 2 Satan bound for a thousand years. 6 The first 
 resurrection: they blessed that have part therein. 
 7 Satan, let loose again. 8 Gog and Magog. 
 10 The devil cast into the lake of fire and brim- 
 stone. 12 The last and general resurrection. 
 
 AND I saw an angel come down from 
 heaven, "having the key of the bottom- 
 less pit and a great chain in his hand. 
 
 2 And he laid hold on 'the dragon, that 
 old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, 
 and bound him for a thousand years, 
 
 3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, 
 and shut him up, and d set a seal upon him, 
 "that he should seduce the nations no more, 
 till the thousand years should be fulfilled ; 
 and after that he must be loosed a little 
 season. 
 
 4 And I saw 'thrones, and they sat on 
 them, and ^judgment was given to them : 
 and I saw "the souls of those who were 
 beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and 
 for the word of God, and 'who had not 
 worshipped the beast, *nor his image, nor 
 had received his mark upon their fore- 
 heads, or on their hands ; and they lived 
 and 'reigned with Christ a thousand years. 
 
 5 But the rest of the dead lived not again 
 until the thousand years were finished. 
 This is the first resurrection. 
 
 6 Happy and holy is he who hath part in 
 the first resurrection: on such m the second 
 death hath no power, but they will be 
 "priests of God and of Christ, "and will 
 reign with him a thousand years. 
 
 7 And when the thousand years are ex- 
 pired, p Satan will be loosed out of his 
 prison, 
 
 8 And will go out 'to seduce the nations 
 in the four quarters of the earth, r Gog and 
 Magog, 'to gather them together to battle : 
 the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. 
 
 9 'And they went up on the breadth of 
 the earth, and encompassed the camp of 
 the saints, and the beloved city: and fire 
 came down from God out of heaven, and 
 devoured them. 
 
 10 "And the devil that seduced them was 
 cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, 
 'where the beast and the false prophet are, 
 and "will be tormented day and night for 
 ever and ever. 
 
 11 And I saw a great white throne, and 
 him who sat on it, from whose face the 
 earth and the heaven fled away; "and there 
 was found no place for them. 
 
 12 And I saw the dead, 'small and great, 
 stand before God ; 'and the books were 
 opened : and another d book was opened, 
 which is the book of life : and the dead 
 were judged from those things written in 
 the books, 'according to their works.

 CHAPTER XXI. 
 
 1 A new heaven and a new earth. 10 The heavenly 
 Jerusalem, with a full description thereof. 23 She 
 needeth no sun, the glory of God is her light. 
 24 The kings of the earth bring their riches to her. 
 
 AND °I saw a new heaven and a new 
 earth: 'for the first heaven and the 
 first earth were passed away; and there 
 was no more sea. 
 
 2 And I John saw 'the holy city, new 
 Jerusalem, coming down from God out of 
 heaven, prepared d as a bride adorned for 
 her husband. 
 
 3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven, 
 saying, Behold, 'the tabernacle of God is 
 with men, and he will dwell with them, 
 and they shall be his people, and God him- 
 self will be with them, and be their God. 
 
 4 'And God will wipe away all tears from 
 their eyes ; and there will be no more 
 death, *nor sorrow, nor crying, nor will 
 there be any more pain: for the former 
 things are passed away. 
 
 5 And 'he that sat upon the throne said, 
 "Behold, I make all things new. And he 
 said to me, Write: for 'these words are 
 true and faithful. 
 
 6 And he said to me, m It is done. "I am 
 the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning 
 and the end. °I will give to him who is 
 athirst of the fountain of the water of life 
 freely. 
 
 7 He that overcometh shall inherit ||all 
 things; and y I will be his God, and he 
 shall be my son. 
 
 8 «But the fearful, and unbelieving, and 
 the abominable, and. murderers, and forni- 
 cators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and 
 all liars, shall have their part in the lake 
 which burnetii with fire and brimstone: 
 which is the second death. 
 
 9 And there came to me one of 'the seven 
 angels, who had the seven vials full of the 
 seven last plagues, and talked with me, 
 saying, Come hither, I will shew thee 'the 
 bride, the Lamb's wife. 
 
 10 And he carried me away "in the spirit 
 to a great and high mountain, and shewed 
 me 'the great city, the holy Jerusalem, de- 
 scending out of heaven from God, 
 
 11 ^Having the glory of God: and her 
 light was like a stone most precious, like 
 a jasper-stone, clear as crystal ; 
 
 12 And it had a wall great and high, and 
 had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve 
 angels, and names written thereon, which 
 are the names of the twelve tribes of the 
 children of Israel. 
 
 13 °On the east, three gates ; on the north, 
 three gates; on the south, three gates; and 
 on the west, three gates. 
 
 14 And the wall of the city had twelve 
 foundations, and 'in them the names of the 
 twelve apostles of the Lamb. 
 
 15 And he that talked with me, 'had a 
 
 189 
 
The heavenly Jerusalem. 
 
 golden reed to measure the city, and its 
 gates, and its wall. 
 
 16 And the city lieth foursquare, and the 
 length is as large as the breadth : and he 
 measured the city with the reed, twelve 
 thousand furlongs. The length, and the 
 breadth, and the height of it are equal. 
 
 17 And he measured its wall, an hundred 
 and forty-four cubits, according to the 
 measure of a man, that is, of the angel. 
 
 1 8 And the building of the wall of it was 
 of jasper : and the city was pure gold, like 
 clear glass. 
 
 19 d And the foundations of the wall of 
 the city were adorned with every precious 
 stone. The first foundation was jasper;

 21 And the twelve gates were twelve 
 pearls; each single gate was of one 
 pearl ; 'and the street of the city was pure 
 gold, as it were transparent glass. 
 
 22 'And I saw no temple in it: for the 
 Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the 
 temple of it. 
 
 23 «And the city hath no need of the sun, 
 nor of the moon, to shine in it : for the 
 glory of God enlighteneth it, and the Lamb 
 is its light. 
 
 24 "And the nations of those who are 
 saved will walk in the light of it : and the 
 kings of the earth bring their glory and 
 honour into it. 
 
 25 'And the gates of it shall not be shut 
 at all by day : for "there shall be no night 
 there. 
 
 26 'And they shall bring the glory and 
 honour of the nations into it. 
 
 '27 And m there shall by no means enter it 
 any thing that defileth, or that worketh 
 abomination, or maketh a lie; but those 
 who are written in the Lamb's "book of life. 
 
 CHAPTER XXII. 
 
 1 The river of the water of life. 2 The tree of life. 
 5 The light of the city of God is himself. 9 The 
 angel will not he worshipped. 18 Nothing may be 
 added to the word of God, nor taken therefrom. 
 
 AND he shewed me °a pure river of 
 water of life, clear as crystal, pro- 
 ceeding from the throne of God and of the 
 Lamb. 
 
 2 'In the midst of the street of it, and on 
 either side of the river, was there 'the tree 
 of life, which beareth fruit twelve times, 
 yielding its fruit every month: and the 
 leaves of the tree were d for the healing of 
 the nations. 
 
 3 And 'there will be no more curse : /but 
 the throne of God and of the Lamb will be 
 in it ; and his servants will serve him 
 
 4 And ? they will see his face; and ''his 
 name will be on their foreheads.

 Invitations to eternal life. 
 
 5 'And there will be no night there ; and 
 they need no candle, nor light of the sun; 
 for *the Lord God giveth them light : 'and 
 they will reign for ever and ever. 
 
 6 And he said to me, "These words are 
 faithful and true. And the Lord God of 
 the holy prophets "sent his angel to shew 
 to his servants the things which must 
 shortly happen. 
 
 7 "Behold, I come quickly : p happy is he 
 who keepeth the words of the prophecy of 
 this book. 
 
 8 And I John saw these things, and heard 
 them. And when I heard and saw, «I fell 
 down to worship before the feet of the 
 angel who shewed me these things. # 
 
 9 And he saith to me, 'See thou do it not: 
 for I am thy fellow-servant, and of thy 
 brethren the prophets, and of those who 
 keep the words of this book: worship God. 
 
 10 "And he saith to me, Seal not the words 
 of the prophecy of this book : 'for the time 
 is at hand. 
 
 11 "He that is unjust, let him be unjust 
 still: and he that is filthy, let him be 
 filthy still : and he that is righteous, let 
 him be righteous still: and he that is holy, 
 let him be holy still. 
 
 12 "And behold, I come quickly; and 
 »my reward is with me, z to render to each 
 according as his work shall be. 
 
 13 a I am the Alpha and the Omega, the 
 beginning and the end, the first and the 
 last. 
 
 14 'Happy are those who do his com- 
 mandments, that they may have right 'to 
 the tree of life, ''and may enter through 
 the gates into the city. 
 
 15 For 'without are the 'dogs, and sor- 
 cerers, and fornicators, and murderers, 
 and idolaters, and whoever loveth and 
 maketh a lie. 
 
 16 S I Jesus have sent mine angel to tes- 
 tify to you these things in the churches. 
 h I am the root and the offspring of David, 
 'the bright and morning-star. 
 
 17 And the Spirit and *the bride say, 
 Come. And let him that heareth say, 
 Come. 'And let him who is athirst come. 
 And whoever will, let him take the water 
 of life freely. 
 
 18 For I testify to every one who heareth 
 the words of the prophecy of this book, 
 "■If any one add to them, God will add to 
 him the plagues that are written in this 
 book: 
 
 19 And if any one shall take away from 
 the words of the book of this prophecy, 
 "God will take away his part ||from the 
 book of life, and from "the holy city, and 
 from the things which are written in this 
 book. 
 
 20 He who testifieth these things saith, 
 ''Surely I come quickly: »Amen. 'Even 
 so, come, Lord Jesus ! 
 
 21 "The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ 
 be with you all. Amen.

 sacrificed their children by fire to Moloch, Baal, 
 and the sun. In one spot, called Tophet, was 
 a fire-stove, in which idolaters and other cul- 
 prits were occasionally burnt In it Josiah or- 
 dered all the offal, bones, carcases of dead dogs 
 and animals, and other filth to be consumed ; 
 and to prevent the evils that might result from 
 putrefaclion nnd worms, the fire was never 
 allowed to go out, but was kept incessantly 
 burning, and thus it was a very fit and striking 
 emblem of the everlasting fire of hell. See Lev. 
 xx. 14 ; xxi. 9. 2 Kings xxiii. 10. 2 Chron. 
 xxviii. 3. Isa. xxx. 33. Jer. vii. 30, 32; xix.

 Sanhedrim, or great council of the elders of the 
 people, the chief priests, and the scribes, con- 
 sisting of seventy-two members ; and, 3. To the 
 Gehenna of fire : and by these allusions Jesus 
 teaches that under his spiritual reign rash 
 anger, anger contemptuously expressed, and 
 anger wilh manifest malice, would subject men 
 to such diversities of punishment, as the Jews 
 themselves were accustomed to apportion to 
 atrocious actions, according to their views of 
 criminality.
